Xiao Yunyan's explanation was worse than no explanation at all. Wang Yi didn't care what the women in your house were thinking. She was just a guest and had no right to interfere in such household affairs.
But for Zhao Wu's sake, she calmly pulled her hand away again and went back in the direction Zhao Wu had invited her to.
For Xiao Yunyan, Wang Yi saved her life, so she was naturally grateful and would never continue to act like a spoiled child in front of her benefactor. Ping Shizhi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and gave Wang Yi a grateful smile.
Ping Shizhi quickly ordered the servants to serve good tea and repeatedly invited Wang Yi to sit down, while Zhao Wu sat across the table from him.
Xiao Yunyan took the tea from the servant and placed it next to Wang Yi, then stood quietly by and listened. She was quite perceptive, knowing that Wang Yi didn't want to get involved in her family affairs and wouldn't help her, so she simply kept quiet. At worst, she could continue to make trouble in private.
"What's the important matter?" Wang Yi asked.
Ping Shizhi smiled slightly and said, "Your Liugen is thirteen years old this year, right?"
"...What?" Wang Yi looked at the three of them warily. He had a feeling they had no good intentions.
"Don't be so nervous. It's like this. I have a distant niece who's fourteen years old. Her parents died of illness last year, leaving her without support. We saw that Liugen, though quiet, had come back from that adventure with you that day, looking incredibly heroic. So we thought we'd compare the two children's birth dates."
"No!" Wang Yi stood up immediately.
Is it too young to have your horoscope read before dating?
In Wang Yi’s previous life, how could a thirteen-year-old child, who had just entered junior high school, start talking about marriage?
"Sit down, sit down, don't be nervous, and don't rush to refuse. Otherwise, I'll let you see what the girl is like. If our girl wasn't such a good girl, two grown men like us wouldn't be matchmakers. The girl is really fourteen, and it's time for her to get married. Her parents passed away early, so we have to make plans for her."
"I saw that Liugen was very brave and I liked him very much. It was my suggestion." Zhao Wudao said and winked at Xiao Yunyan. Xiao Yunyan smiled, nodded and turned to go into the house.
"No matter who proposes it, it won't work. The children are still too young to know how to get married. Wait two more years." Wang Yi didn't mind that the girl was one year older than her. She really wasn't ready yet. It was a little hard for her to accept when someone suddenly mentioned this.
Zhao Wu pondered for a moment and continued:
"Although you don't want to mention Liugen's marriage, since I've brought that girl here, I can't be vague and want to explain everything to you clearly. This girl's identity isn't relevant now, but it was indeed a bit complicated ten years ago. She's a descendant of the Yunze Kingdom's royal family who was exiled, and she's considered a little princess. According to the clan's seniority system, she should call me her cousin. Her father has always followed me, living in loneliness in Qingdong City for ten years, and he never returned to his hometown until his death."
"All I can do is find a good husband for his daughter, which is why I mentioned it to you."
"It's been nine years since the fall of Yunze Nation, and their status has long since become ordinary. But after all, they grew up in a wealthy family, so they are more educated, intelligent, and well-mannered than ordinary girls. They have also been well-mannered since childhood. For Liugen, she would be a good daughter-in-law. Moreover, after the death of her parents this year, she has grown a lot and become more sensible. That's why I had this idea."
Little princess?
The princess of a fallen country is also a noble person.
Wang Yi thought of Liu Gen, who looked like he had nothing to do with her. Could he bear such a rich and noble fate?
The more I think about it, the less likely it is to work.
She should at least give Liugen the right to choose. She would rather Liugen come to her on his own one day and say, "Mom, I've found a girl I like," rather than her as a mother forcing a marriage on him.
Just as she was thinking about it, Xiao Yunyan came back, followed by a young girl.
The little girl had two buns on her head, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and looked like a timid little quail. Her clothes were simple, all made of fine cotton and linen, and she didn't wear any silk or satin. Her facial features were all delicate and cute.
it's beautiful!
The girl was fourteen years old and had just started to grow. She was not short, but very slim. Her dress fluttered as she walked. Wang Yi felt a little distressed when she saw it.
When I thought about the fact that her parents were gone, I felt even more pitiful.
"Come, come here, let me see."
Wang Yi felt soft-hearted for a moment, and when the girl came over, he touched her hair, took her hand and asked:
"What's your name?"
"My name is Zhao Lixiang." The girl answered weakly, looking at Wang Yi with her big eyes, and suddenly gave Wang Yi a bright smile.
This smile made Wang Yi feel very soft-hearted.
"Ah. Poor child."
Zhao Wu laughed, knowing that Wang Yi would be very satisfied with the red line he had drawn.
This girl has been with them for a year. She is indeed an obedient and sensible child. Anyone who sees her will like her.
"Lixiang, if there's a chance, ask your Uncle Zhao to take you to visit Auntie's house, okay?"
"OK."
"Great, go play."
Xiao Yunyan took the girl away, and Wang Yi looked at Zhao Wu with some anger.
"Wait a little longer, until our manor is built, and then let this girl go and see Xiaoliu. If she likes him, let the two children get to know each other more. Whether the marriage is successful or not depends on how they get along."
"Xiao Liu is still a year younger than her. I'm afraid he might be unstable, so I don't want him to bring disaster to the girl."
Let's see if we can get along? Let the two kids make the decision?
In this era, there is no such system. When a man and a woman get married, it is naturally their parents' decision. If Wang Yi cares about him, then that's fine. Why would the two children care?
Moreover, let’s see how they get along with each other. What should we do if a girl is at a disadvantage?
But after thinking about it, Zhao Wu also believed in Wang Yi's family tradition. If Liugen didn't know the rules, Wang Yi would also make the decision for Lixiang.
In short, you won’t suffer any loss.
It would be good to get along with each other for a while, and it would also give Li Xiang a chance to make a choice.
No matter what, today I have brought Wang Yi to meet Li Xiang, and things have started.
In Zhao Wu's eyes, there is no place more suitable for Lixiang than Wang Yi's home.
"That's fine. Then when I take Lixiang to visit the village, I'll meet Liugen and they can get to know each other."
Wang Yi drank tea, covered his facial expression with the covered bowl, and sighed slightly.
It's such a blessing to have a family. This girl is destined to be rich.
She was afraid that she couldn't keep the roots down.
But if the marriage could really be concluded, Liugen would definitely get a great deal.
After a few words, the aroma of food came from Ping Shizhi's house.
Wang Yi had dinner at the Ping family. Before it got dark, Zhao Wu volunteered to take her home.
After getting off the car, Zhao Wu took out a brocade box and handed it to Wang Yi.
"Yesterday I saw you asking for something to hold it in place, maybe you wanted to do some embroidery, so I dug out a set of silver needles that my mother left me. I thought you might be able to use them."
The brocade box is heavy and looks like it is very expensive. It is carved with dark patterns, which makes it look luxurious and low-key, yet full of extravagance.
Wang Yi quickly declined: "No, you gave me the bronze mirror before, which was not good enough. How can I accept your mother's heirloom again? Don't give me such a precious thing again!"
Wang Yi didn't dare to answer.
Oh my god, she now suspects that Zhao Wu has bad intentions towards her.
So, she added another sentence:
"It would be more appropriate to give it to your wife later. I'll also return the bronze mirror to you later."
