Chapter 362: The Heart Has Long Been Wild
The other people in the Duke of Cheng’s Mansion did not react much when they knew about this. Xu Jinyu and Xu Nan were mostly curious. After all, they had heard a lot about the relatives of their maternal grandparents, but they had not met them much.
They had seen them before, but it was a few years ago, and they did not leave much impression in their minds. As for the portraits in the study, Xu Nan thought it was better to forget about them. He thought that most of those painters painted casually, and their father might not recognize them, let alone them.
Xu Muhua was thinking that when his uncles came, they should not bring another Song Baotong, and everything else would be easy.
In the busyness of Xu’s mother, time moved forward, and soon it was Xu Muhua’s coming-of-age day.
The people of the Song family also arrived a few days before this, and the Chengguo Mansion was unusually lively.
If Xu Muhua was just a lady of the Chengguo Mansion, then her coming-of-age ceremony would naturally be nothing worth paying attention to. The people who came to participate were probably her good friends, or people who had contacts with the Chengguo Mansion, or friends of Xu's mother.
But now she is the adopted daughter of the eldest princess!
From the moment the eldest princess adopted her as her adopted daughter, the doting on her is visible to the naked eye! Until now, there is no sign of losing favor! Some time
ago, she had a quarrel with Princess Qingning, and the eldest princess forced Princess Qingning to apologize to the eldest lady of the Chengguo Mansion on the spot. Princess Qingning was so angry that she ran away with tears in her eyes!
So no matter what, we have to come to congratulate today.
So early in the morning, the gate of the Duke Cheng's Mansion was already crowded with carriages and horses. The carriages were blocked in front of the gate for a long distance, and there was almost no end in sight!
The servants of the Duke Cheng's Mansion were so busy that they had no time to rest - think about how long they haven't been so busy! They almost couldn't adapt!
Fenghua Garden, many young ladies who came early came here, just to see the big cat and tiger raised by Xu Muhua.
Everyone knows that the eldest daughter of the Duke Cheng's Mansion has a tiger, and even the fat cat she raises is much smarter than those raised by other people!
Look, today I can finally come to visit openly and legitimately!
"Muhua, I think Huzai will steal your limelight today!"
Pei Shaorong looked at the young ladies surrounding Huzai and the eldest master in the yard outside the window, and couldn't help but smile.
I don't know whether they are here to participate in the coming-of-age ceremony or to visit the tiger.
Xu Muhua sighed, "That's good, I can just take a breath."
There are too many people to greet them all!
She also understood why there were so many guests today, all of whom came for the eldest princess and her husband. She
miscalculated. If she had known this, she should have delayed the recognition of relatives until after the coming-of-age ceremony.
"You're already complaining about being tired, what will you do when it officially starts later?"
Pei Shaorong shook her head.
"Who wants to make fun of others when they can be comfortable!"
Pei Shaorong glared at her, "What are you talking about!"
What if someone heard it!
Xu Muhua raised his chin and nodded in a certain direction outside the window, "How is Xuehe's matter?"
When mentioning Sun Xuehe, Pei Shaorong couldn't help but retract the smile on his face, and frowned slightly, "I thought of a way for her before, and temporarily delayed it. But recently I heard from her that her father started to bring up the old matter again, and it seems that he still hasn't given up that idea."
Xu Muhua couldn't help shaking his head, "It's really hard to have such a father..."
"Yes, Xuehe is really miserable. Although I am not favored by my father, fortunately I still have a grandfather who can protect me, but Xuehe...her father is like this, and her mother is also not very good. She listens to her father in everything. Her mother listens to whatever her father says, and she actually thinks this marriage is good."
"She also told Xuehe that it's okay for a man to be older, and that such a man would be loving! As for the legitimate son who was left behind, she doesn't need to take care of him. She just needs to do her best on the surface and have another child of her own, and the future won't be too bad!"
"Listen, does this sound like something a mother would say?"
Pei Shaorong couldn't help but get a little angry as she spoke.
"This is not a long-term solution!"
He could help Sun Xuehe temporarily, but not forever, unless she found a better marriage than the one her father thought.
Thinking of the plot in the book, Xu Muhua asked, "Did she ask you for help to find a solution?"
When she asked this, Pei Shaorong's face suddenly flashed with something strange.
"Yes? How does Xuehe want you to help?"
Pei Shaorong never hid anything from her. Now that she asked about it, she would not hide it deliberately. She repeated what Sun Xuehe had said to her, and said with some distress: "She still thinks that I should help her solve this matter in the capacity of the Crown Princess - or even better, in the capacity of the Crown Prince."
She didn't know how many times she had explained this matter, but Xuehe just wouldn't listen! Every time she complained to her, she became upset.
Xu Muhua was silent for a while before asking: "Have you asked the Crown Prince's opinion? Maybe the Crown Prince knows someone suitable who can be introduced to Xuehe?"
Anyway, if Sun Xuehe's father makes the choice, he should be happy to marry the Crown Prince.
Even if the prince introduced his subordinates to the Sun family, the emperor would not say anything if he knew about it. The prince has already been canonized, and the emperor will not have any doubts about the prince because of such a small matter.
And Sun Xuehe can get rid of the fate of marrying an old man.
The only bad thing is that no matter what kind of person the prince introduces, it is impossible for him to compare with the prince. Perhaps this point will not satisfy Sun Xuehe.
Sure enough.
Pei Shaorong sighed, "I have had this idea, and I have mentioned it to the prince. The prince has also introduced a few, and both the prince and I think they are suitable. They are not from wealthy families, but they are capable and their future achievements will not be low. The key is that they are young and their backyards are clean."
But... Xu Muhua thought there must be a twist.
"But... Xuehe thinks it's not suitable."
It was introduced to her, and she herself felt it was not suitable, so she couldn't force her to accept it.
Xu Muhua pulled the corner of his mouth, he couldn't help it, and said in a somewhat sinister tone, "Xuehe is very ambitious, she looks down on those men who have not achieved anything yet, and she looks down on those who are of ordinary background."
If he is not the prince, he must at least be a prince or a marquis, then maybe she will consider him.
No need to ask, you know that the prince must introduce those men who are of humble background but have a promising future. Sun Xuehe's heart has long been wild, of course she looks down on these.
