Chapter 80 80. Engagement
The New Year is approaching, and their families are getting busy. This is probably the last time they saw each other before the year, and then they will have to help their elders take care of the New Year at home.
After dinner, Bai Siruo and Feng Jinyao left the Xu family. The three of them agreed to go to Da'ao Mountain, visit the lantern festival, and have a good night together during the Lantern Festival.
Unfortunately, before this plan was realized, Bai Siruo ran into trouble first.
I wont marry!
Bai Siruo stood in Shoukang Courtyard and roared with red eyes.
Sitting in the hall were Mrs. Bai, Auntie Lin, and Princess Wen Yi. After hearing what she said, the three people's originally high-spirited expressions immediately fell.
Especially Princess Wen Yi, who has loved her daughter very much for many years and has never said a few harsh words.
Suddenly hearing her answer like this, he immediately scolded her.
Since ancient times, marriage has always been a matter of parents orders and matchmakers words. Its up to you not to marry if you say you dont want to marry! If you dont think about your own age, if you delay it any longer, I dont know which family wants an old girl!
"So what if I'm an old girl? The worst I can do is wrap my hair and go to the mountains to be my aunt. If my mother insists on letting me get married, just beat me to death first."
"You..." After hearing what she said, Princess Wen Yi was so angry that she slapped her in the face, making everyone present stunned.
Auntie Lin was the first to react and quickly stepped forward to pull her, "What are you doing? You don't have an ignorant temper. Why would you hit someone?"
Mrs. Bai felt sorry for her granddaughter being beaten, and hurriedly asked someone to separate the mother and daughter. She pulled Bai Siruo to sit beside her and looked at her face carefully.
Even though she was beaten out of anger, Princess Wen Yi did not hit hard, her cheeks were only slightly red, but a hole was punched in Bai Siruo's heart, and she sat there with tears streaming down her face.
Good boy, you cant talk nonsense like that. If you are gone, how will we old guys live?
Mrs. Bai comforted her heartily, while lifting Bai Siruo's hair from her ears and blowing her cheeks gently.
Princess Wen Yi was also angry at what she said. It was just asking her to get engaged, so how could it involve life and death? Besides, she had chosen her husband's family among thousands of people. How could Prince Kang's palace wrong her?
"Mother, leave her alone. I see that she is living too comfortably and has never suffered at all, so she develops such a modest appearance. You have to get married even if you don't want to, hum."
After saying that, she threw up her sleeves and left angrily. Aunt Lin was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable, so she frowned and said, "Mom, I'm going to see my siblings. Siruo, you sit with grandma. Auntie will come back later."
Go quickly, go quickly. Mrs. Bai was both worried about her granddaughter and worried about her daughter-in-law, and sighed deeply.
Siruo, you told your grandmother, but you already have someone you like in your heart?
Bai Siruo did not answer, her head was buried lower, and her tears fell. Seeing this, Mrs. Bai knew that she was right.
If you like a son from a certain family, tell me and my grandma will look at you. If he is really a good person, our family is not one that only cares about family status.
At this point, Bai Siruo has already lowered his attitude as a married woman of the Bai family, but Bai Siruo doesn't know how to answer.
"Grandma, I...I..." I struggled to speak, but the words couldn't come out.
Mrs. Bai thought that it was hard to tell if someone was there, so she asked Aunt Xu on the side to take the people waiting on her left and right down. Seeing this, the maid Haitang did not dare to hide it anymore, and quickly knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to Mrs. Bai, "Old lady, please help our young lady. She has been looking for that young hero for many years. If it weren't for that person, She wont delay until today.
"Begonia!" Bai Siruo was shocked and ashamed when his secret was revealed by the maid.
Young hero? What do you mean?
The old lady still remembers the time when the young lady fell into the water when she went to the Mingchi. It was a young knight who saved the young lady, but later we searched the entire Dongdu City to find that person.
Mrs. Bai's expression was solemn. This was all six or seven years ago. Could it be that Siruo had been interested in him since then?
"No, grandma, I just wanted to repay him for saving my life," he explained hurriedly, and then talked about the reason why he didn't marry.
"I don't want to marry into my grandfather's family because... I don't care about my second cousin. I met him once when I was a child, and then he stayed in Liangzhou with my second uncle all year round. I really can't help but meet him once." People get married
Maybe he was frightened by the three eldest grandsons of the Hussar General's Mansion. He always felt that the generals were all like bears, with well-developed limbs and simple minds. Therefore, Bai Siruo also had a very bad impression of this martial second cousin. .
If she wanted to spend the rest of her life with such a person, she would rather become a nun. If not, she would seek refuge with Xu Mingyue.
Even though the master cant do it, its not bad to be an errand boy by her side.
After hearing what she said, Mrs. Bai thought it was a bit of a joke. Nowadays, the atmosphere in Dongdu City is more open. If they were at that time, let alone meeting each other, many people would only know who their husbands were after they lifted their headscarves before the wedding. Like that.
On the day of the birthday banquet, I saw that he was here, but you didnt see him?
Bai Siruo shook her head. She was busy showing off that day, so how could she pay attention to her cousin who was not close to her at all?
Mrs. Bai smiled kindly, "I have seen Mu Qian's child. He is a rare good-looking child. He looks very similar to your eldest aunt. Although he grew up with me in Liangzhou, he is not a rude person. Your second uncle He is a well-known Confucian general, is it possible that Li Da can grow under his command?"
The Li Da in the storybook was an invincible general, but he had a beard and a tall figure. For some reason, Bai Siruo thought of the grandsons of the general's mansion again. .
Hand could not help but shudder.
With the old lady's comforting intentions, Bai Siruo's resistance was no longer so serious. On the other side, Princess Wen Yi also regretted that she had beaten her daughter and was crying sadly.
"It's obvious that I'm a thorn in my side, but I still want to strike. No, the pain in my body will be in my mother's heart."
Sister-in-law is still making fun of me!
Princess Wen Yi was crying, but she was amused by Lin's words and wanted to laugh again.
Step forward and patted the back of her hand, Lin said earnestly, "Siruo is still a child, and you didn't tell her through the wind before. If you bring it up rashly, she will naturally resist given her temperament."
"But my sister-in-law also knows that she will be seventeen after the Chinese New Year. If she doesn't get engaged, I'm really afraid."
"What are you afraid of?" Ms. Lin was a little puzzled. Princess Wen Yi's fearful look made her a little bit more confused. She had thought about marrying her child before, but she had never been as anxious as now.
