Upon hearing that Liang Tian'er might be in trouble, the Bai family members' expressions all changed slightly.
Even the youngest, Juanjuan, became somewhat worried.
Sister Liang must have encountered some trouble, and it must be quite serious, otherwise Sister Mu wouldn't have spoken of it so solemnly.
"Her father arranged a marriage for her with the second son of the current Minister of Revenue."
Jiang Dai raised an eyebrow: "Logically speaking, the second son of the Minister of Revenue should have a high position. Could it be that he has a problem with his character?"
[If he's handsome and kind like the male protagonist in ancient romance novels, then it's not a big problem.]
Juanjuan nodded seriously, agreeing with what her mother said.
She already knew what "ancient romance" and "male protagonist" meant.
My mother often mentioned it when she wrote storybooks, so I naturally knew what it meant.
Mu Zhaoyuan nodded: "Logically speaking, Liang Tian'er is just the daughter of a first-class merchant. Even if she is the legitimate daughter, she is still considered to be marrying up to the second legitimate son of the Minister of Revenue."
"But unfortunately, the second son of the Minister of Revenue is a dissolute, a complete scoundrel, a utter scoundrel, just like that..."
Mu Zhaoyuan lowered her voice and whispered in Jiang Dai's ear, "One of the girls in Bichun Pavilion was tortured to death in bed by him."
Jiang Dai frowned immediately.
Mu Zhaoyuan stepped back slightly, her voice returning to normal: "Actually, for an ordinary woman, she might just accept her fate and marry, but I know that Liang Tian'er is very opinionated and has some ability, so she doesn't want to settle."
"That's why I said she's in trouble now."
Jiang Dai frowned slightly, not expecting to encounter such a melodramatic plot.
Bai Tian looked at Mu Zhaoyuan: "I wonder if Miss Mu could arrange for Liang Tian'er to come out?"
[Liang Tian'er is only fifteen years old. In modern times, she'd just be a high school freshman. Getting married like this, while normal in ancient times, still feels...uncomfortable.]
Juanjuan had gotten used to hearing her father's inner thoughts, and she stopped complaining.
At first, I thought that people on my father's side were all getting old and still not married. But as time went on, I heard more of my parents' feelings and what they said.
Only then did I realize that my parents, who were already quite old at that time, were actually just beginning their lives.
In short, Juanjuan found her parents' world to be very magical, like a paradise on earth, incredibly amazing, and with so many chickens!
Not only do they have laundry chickens, but they also have dried chickens, and even flying chickens and bombing chickens.
Although I don't know what the bombing chicken is for, some of the things it's made of sound really impressive.
"In a couple of days, I'll go back and have Seventh Sister organize a gathering and invite Liang Tian'er. I don't usually have any dealings with the Liang family, so going there rashly could involve a lot of things."
Jiang Dai: "Then I'll trouble you."
Mu Zhaoyuan chuckled: "That's not much trouble. Besides, even if you don't say anything, Seventh Sister will still hold a banquet in two days and invite Liang Tian'er."
The letter that Liang Tian'er sent to Liuyun Pavilion a few days ago was extremely important.
We eventually had to meet to discuss the sweet potato in detail, and I don't know where Liang Tian'er found it.
Mu Zhaoyuan was still grateful that her family had a girl like Seventh Sister.
Both are daughters of the Mu family, but one is a rebellious woman whom no one dares to marry in the eyes of powerful families, while the other is the most noble lady in the capital and a model of women from powerful families.
Of course, there are differences.
Perhaps because war was about to break out, the direct descendants of the Mu family all rushed to the battlefield. Instead of the intrigues and fratricide common in other aristocratic families, the family members were unusually united.
Because you never know when the family member you were arguing with last time might fall on the battlefield, never to be seen again.
Therefore, although Mu Zhaoyao was a cousin of the Mu family, her mother died in childbirth when she was young, and her father died of grief due to the loss of his wife.
He was then taken back to the Mu family, took his mother's surname, and was raised under the care of the old lady, who treated him as her own son.
With Liang Tian'er's matter settled, Jiang Dai and the others could finally relax and wait for their reunion in two days.
"Let's go! We agreed to go to Liuyun Pavilion, so let's do it today!"
Mu Zhaoyuan took Juanjuan's hand and noticed the little guy's half-melted, unfinished ice cream.
"Juanjuan, is it because this shaved ice doesn't taste good or not to your liking?"
Juanjuan: ? ? ?
It's delicious! That's why...
"She probably can't bear to part with it."
Bai Tian spoke, immediately understanding the little guy's thoughts.
Juanjuan nodded a little shyly, agreeing with her father's words.
Mu Zhaoyuan: ...
"If it weren't for the fact that kids eat a lot of ice cream in the summer and are prone to stomach aches, I would buy out the entire ice cream stand for you!"
When they arrived at Liuyun Pavilion, Juanjuan had replaced the ice cream in her hand with fruit jelly.
Don't ask your parents and brothers why they don't have any fruit jelly.
It was simply because they had already finished eating.
By the way, Bai Tian ordered an extra serving because he thought the fruit yogurt was delicious.
