Wan Jinlan was discouraged by Xiao Feng's small step back.
Of course, it wasn't that she was emotionally hurt. She liked Xiao Feng a little bit, or she thought he was a good candidate for husband, but definitely not that much.
But she had taken the initiative, but he still avoided her, which always made her feel hurt and she couldn't get over it.
As for Shen Xingyu saying that he was shy, she didn't think it had anything to do with Xiao Feng.
Wan Jinlan went to Chen Qing's room in a bad mood.
Seeing her dejected look, Shen Qing was about to ask something when he noticed something extraordinary.
Chen Qing picked up a few strands of grayish-white hair from her sleeve and looked at Wan Jinlan with scrutiny.
Wan Jinlan shuddered and thought to himself that something bad was going to happen.
Shen Qing hit the nail on the head: "Did you go to the Prince Qi's residence?"
Wan Jinlan said stubbornly: "No, this hair fell from Sister Xingyu's cat."
Shen Qing sneered: "Why do I remember her cat was orange."
Wan Jinlan: "..."
She had nothing to say and could only sigh that she was stupid. If she had known earlier, she would have just admitted it directly.
"I just want to touch Diandian. Oh, Diandian is the little fat dog."
Shen Qing snorted coldly: "When you said that before, I believed it. Now, do you say I believe it or not?"
Wan Jinlan blinked, then shook Shen Qing’s arm: “Mom!”
The tone is very long.
Chen Qing looked at her and said earnestly: "You are a girl, you should be sensible in doing things and pay attention to your reputation. If you rush forward, you will fall behind."
Wan Jinlan's eyes lit up: "Mom, you don't object?"
Shen Qing glared at her. Could she still grasp the point?
Shen Qing couldn't find anything bad to say about Prince Qi Xiao Feng. The only problem was their seniority. It wasn't a big deal, but the key point was that Prince Qi hadn't wanted to marry in recent years, and she hadn't heard of any close relationship between Prince Qi and any of the ladies.
Chen Qing wasn't a very conservative person. As someone who had all been through the teenage years, it was best to marry someone who was mutually in love, so that the couple could have a harmonious relationship in the future. It wasn't advisable to simply follow the parents' orders or the matchmaker's words, if the couple had only met a few times before the marriage.
"Don't come to my house again in the future." Shen Qing said.
Wan Jinlan: "Why? This is Yangzhou, not Kyoto. No one is watching me, no one knows, no one will laugh at me. Most importantly, if anyone asks me, I will say that I am here to see dogs, not people."
"Mom, I know my limits. I won't bring shame to our family."
Shen Qing shook his head and nodded her head, "Why are you unhappy about coming back today? It must be his attitude that makes you unhappy."
"If I'm not mistaken, you and Xingyu went out together, and four out of five times you visited his house."
"You two have met so many times. If he had feelings for you, he wouldn't have upset you today. So, there's no need to go again in the future."
"There are many good men in the world, and we don't need one more."
In Shen Qing's heart, the King of Qi is not a bad man, but her daughter is also very good and worthy of anyone.
Wan Jinlan was enlightened after hearing what his mother said.
Yes, yes, if he really had feelings for her, he would not have backed off today.
If she comes again, she will be degrading herself.
Wan Jinlan patted his chest, looking relieved. "Mom, you're right. I almost made a fool of myself. Even if he were as handsome as an immortal, I shouldn't have continued to visit him."
Shen Qing looked at her carefully, but did not see any sadness in her eyes, only regret and relief.
Well, Shen Qing felt that he had really overestimated his daughter's feelings for Xiao Feng.
There was no true love, only affection for the appearance. She hadn't figured it out yet, so she was really worrying for nothing.
Wan Jinlan never took anything to heart. On the New Year's Eve, he still ate and drank well. When he received the red envelopes from his grandparents, uncle, aunt, fourth uncle and fourth aunt, his face was beaming.
On the night before the New Year, Yangzhou City was decorated with colorful lights. The lights formed a sea of stars and fireworks bloomed in the night sky. It was even more lively than Kyoto.
Kyoto is also bustling with activity at the end of the year, but it is a bustling event within the rules. Even the fireworks can only be seen in fixed locations.
Wan Jinlan stayed up all night with the sisters and sisters of the Shen family. She found it quite interesting to watch her aunts and her mother playing mahjong together.
By the beginning of the Yin hour, I could hardly keep my eyes open, so I went back to my room and went to sleep.
She went to bed late, but still had to get up early the next day. After dinner, she was about to go back to sleep when Chuntao said that housekeeper Wang had come to deliver New Year gifts.
Butler Wang not only sent New Year gifts to the Shen family, but also specially brought a box of pearls and some snacks that girls like to eat for Wan Jinlan.
Wan Jinlan had also bought these snacks at a snack shop when he and Shen Xingyu went out.
The most important thing is that Diandian’s dog kennel and food bowl were brought.
"Your Highness, don't you want to order?" Wan Jinlan looked at Butler Wang expectantly.
If she really doesn't want it anymore, you can be her dog in the future!
Steward Wang shook his head and said, "The prince has been busy lately and can't take care of it. I'll let Miss Wan take care of it for a while."
After Butler Wang delivered the gifts and said some auspicious words, he did not stay for long.
After the people left, Shen Qing opened the pearl box. The pearls inside were all round and could be considered top quality. Although not as good as those from the palace, they were also good.
She had thought yesterday that King Qi Xiao Feng had no interest in her daughter, but now that she saw it, it seemed that was not the case.
Even if he doesn't have time to take care of this bastard, he has servants, so he doesn't have to send him here.
Seeing her mother holding the pearls thoughtfully, Wan Jinlan said, "If you like this box of pearls, I'll give it to you."
As he spoke, Wan Jinlan took the doghouse to the yard and set it up.
After playing with the dog for a while, she couldn't stand it anymore and lay down on the couch and fell asleep again.
When I was woken up, it was time for lunch.
"Dian Dian seems to be no longer in the yard."
Chuntao placed the copper basin on the shelf and wrung out the water from the towel. "Just now, I saw it napping in its nest. How come it disappeared while I was away?"
When the master and servant were looking for the dog, the maid serving Shen Xingyu came to report that Diandian chased her cat to the northwest corner of the yard.
The person living in that yard was Wan Qiuyu.
When Wan Jinlan and Chuntao rushed over, a dog and a cat were chasing each other and running away, making a mess of Wan Qiuyu's house.
Wan Qiuyu was almost scratched by the cat and was standing nervously in the corner watching the confrontation between the cat and the dog.
The second time Wan Jinlan met Wan Qiuyu, her dog had made a mess of the house, and she felt embarrassed.
"Why don't you stay at my place for a while? I'll have someone restore the house to its original state, and then you can come back."
Seeing Wan Jinlan's apologetic look, Wan Qiuyu bit her lip and agreed.
Wan Qiuyu wanted to know when he would return to Kyoto.
