Xu Zhiyong said goodbye to his family one by one. After all, he probably wouldn't be back until the Chinese New Year.
"Sister, take good care of yourself. If you have any problems, just come to your big brother. Your second brother won't be able to see you every day in the future. You must not work as hard as before. When your second brother becomes famous, your sister will give you as much money as you want!" Xu Zhiyong said seriously.
Qibao smiled and nodded, then took out a water bag and said, "Brother, take this water with you. It can be used in critical moments. Take care of yourself when you're out there. I'll miss you!"
Xu Zhiyong nodded, hugged his sister, and got back into the carriage, because he was afraid that seeing the reluctant eyes of his family would make him give up his current idea.
After everything was ready and everyone had packed up, they checked everything again to make sure nothing was left behind. After saying goodbye to their families, the carriage began to slowly drive away from Xujia Village.
Qibao yawned as he watched the carriage go away. He felt extremely reluctant to leave his second brother. Grandpa and the others might stay in Qingyunqi for two days and then come back, but he didn't know how long it would take for his second brother to come back.
Xu Laosan said, "My daughter, it's not even daylight yet, go back to your room and get some sleep!"
Qibao nodded, turned around and went back to his room, fell on the bed, closed his eyes for a long time, but couldn't fall asleep, so he simply entered the space to make pills.
Only the two brothers Xu Erbo were left at home. Wang also gave them a lot of silver, fearing that they could use it for emergency purposes.
It was the first time for the two brothers to receive so many banknotes. They felt so elated that they didn’t know where to put them. They even walked with a breeze.
Originally, the two of them planned to give the silver to Qibao to keep, but Qibao was unwilling to do so. She just wanted to be a hands-off boss.
As for the old man, because there were so many people and they brought a lot of things, although they set out before dawn in the morning, they still arrived in Qingyun City at night.
When they arrived, the city gate had been closed. Fortunately, the officers and soldiers guarding the gate knew Xu Wenwu, so they entered the city smoothly.
The group first found an inn to stay in, and Yueyang and Yuexiao asked to stay in the carriage to look after the betrothal gifts.
The old man and Wang rented a room, Uncle Xu and his wife rented another, Li and Lin rented another, and the rest each had a room.
They also asked the innkeeper to send up some hot meals. After a day's journey, those who knew martial arts were fine, but the women were a little tired.
"This is my first time out of town! The streets in this city are much wider than those in town!" Li said with a smile.
"Yes! Even those houses are more magnificent than those in the town!" Lin continued.
The old man said calmly, "It will be even more lively during the day. Tomorrow, the two of you go ask around in the city if there's a reputable matchmaker. We're going to the Wen family the day after tomorrow, so it's best to prepare everything in advance."
Uncle Xu and his wife nodded in agreement. They had lived in Qingyun City for a few days and were more familiar with the city.
After everyone finished their meal, it was indeed late. In addition, they had been traveling all day and were indeed a little tired, so they all went back to their rooms to sleep.
Xu Wenwu couldn't sleep. After all, this was his lifelong event. He was always calm, but I couldn't help but feel a little emotional. I didn't know what Die'er was doing now. It was so late, she should be asleep!
Xu Wenwu originally wanted to go find Wendie now, but considering the time, he held back and planned to go find Wendie tomorrow.
The next morning, Uncle Xu and his wife left the inn to find a matchmaker. Xu Zhiyong also went to Juxiang Pavilion, and Xu Wenwu rushed to the Wen family. After all, his family would come to propose marriage the next day, so he had to tell Uncle Wen and Aunt Wen in advance.
Xu Wenwu's arrival surprised the Wen family.
After Xu Wenwu explained his intention, the prefect laughed and said, "Good boy! I didn't expect you to feel comfortable so quickly!"
Madam Wen rolled her eyes at Prefect Wen and said, "That means the Xu family has taken a fancy to our Die'er. What do you know? Wenwu! Your grandparents, parents, and aunt are here, why don't you let them stay at our house? It's so inconvenient to stay at an inn!"
Xu Wenwu said, "Because it was too late last night, it was inconvenient to disturb my uncle and aunt's rest. Besides, Wenwu came to marry his beloved, so how could he be so ignorant of etiquette?"
Madam Wen smiled with satisfaction and said, "Wenwu! We are all family from now on, why are you saying all this? If Die'er knew you were here, she would be extremely happy. Go find her!"
Xu Wenwu did not refuse and walked towards Wendie's courtyard.
Wen Die was sitting cross-legged in front of the couch at this time, with a guqin placed in front of her, and her slender white fingers were plucking the strings.
Suddenly, a melodious music sounded, and Yuan'er held her chin with her hands, closed her eyes and listened with a look of ecstasy.
Before Xu Wenwu entered the room, he heard the pleasant sound of a piano coming from the room and couldn't help but stop. The cleaning maid outside the door was also stunned when she saw Xu Wenwu. She was about to go in and report it, but was stopped by Xu Wenwu.
The maid understood. Now the entire Wenwu family knew about the relationship between their young lady and Xu Wenwu. Maybe Xu Wenwu would be the son-in-law of their Wen family in the future!
When Xu Wenwu walked into the room, he saw the girl he liked in plain clothes, sitting by the window, playing the strings of the piano seriously.
A ray of sunlight shines through the window and falls on the girl's fair and smooth face, sublimating this beautiful scene even more.
After the piece of music ended, Yuan'er opened her eyes and saw Xu Wenwu standing at the door. She was stunned at first, and then she was about to exclaim in surprise. After seeing Xu Wenwu's actions, she quickly covered her mouth. While the young lady was still carefully looking through the music score, she quietly left the room and gently closed the door.
Xu Wenwu just looked at Wendie quietly with a serious expression, and he didn't want to disturb the tranquility.
Wen Die looked at the music score and tried to play it. The melody was different from the previous one, and it seemed like something was wrong. The girl frowned, stopped playing, and continued to study the music score.
"Yuan'er, I'm a little thirsty. Please pour me a glass of water." Wen Die said without taking her eyes off the music score.
Xu Wenwu smiled faintly, walked to the table, poured a cup of tea and handed it to Wendie.
Wendie took the teacup and suddenly paused. Yuan'er's hands didn't seem so big, and in the past, Yuan'er would always agree to his instructions, but this time, he didn't hear her response.
Wendie immediately turned around and when she saw the person behind her, she almost dropped the teacup in her hand.
Xu Wenwu grabbed Wendie's hand that was holding the teacup and whispered, "Be careful, it's a little hot."
Wendie didn't hide her surprise. She put the teacup beside the piano, stood up and couldn't help but put her arms around Xu Wenwu's waist. She said sweetly, "Why are you here?"
Xu Wenwu said, "Die'er, I'm here. Are you happy?"
Wendie's little daughter's mentality was fully revealed at this moment, and she nodded her head like a chick pecking at rice.
Xu Wenwu laughed. Die'er was really cute at this moment!
"Not only am I here, my grandparents, parents, and aunt are all here. Can Die'er guess why?" Xu Wenwu stroked Wendie's long hair back and forth and said with a smile.
