She said she didn't want to be like my older sisters, who were seventeen or eighteen before getting engaged.
Actually, I think I'm still young, waiting another two years wouldn't be too late...
Lin Jiayu looked at Mu Laidi with a sly grin.
"Sister Lai Di, I heard some people got anxious after hearing about your blind date..."
I also heard that someone promised their family that if they passed the imperial examination and became a scholar, they would go to Lai Di's house to propose marriage...
Is that right, Sister Lai Di?
Ningbao quickly came over.
"who?
Is someone interested in my daughter, Lai Di?
Who is it?
Jiayu, tell me what you think, and I'll help Lai Di give it her approval!
Mu Laidi blushed and shyly patted Lin Jiayu lightly.
"Nobody's here, don't talk nonsense..."
Ning Bao raised an eyebrow, feigning grievance, and said...
"Sister Lai Di, just because Ning Bao isn't home often, you've become so distant with her. Now you don't even share your worries with her anymore. I think our wilderness team is already dead in name only!"
Ningbao rubbed her eyes in a mock manner...
Although Mu Laidi knew Ning Bao was pretending, she still affectionately pinched her little cheek.
"Alright, stop pretending. I didn't mean to hide it from you, but it's still far from certain, so I can't say anything out loud, or my mother will beat me up."
Ning Bao quickly and earnestly raised her right hand.
"I promise I will never talk nonsense."
A girl's reputation is very important. It's okay for a few girlfriends to talk about things privately, but it's absolutely unacceptable to spread it around in public.
"It's...it's Brother Zhiwei..."
Mu Laidi blushed and muttered something under her breath.
"Brother Zhiwei? Lin Zhiwei?"
Ning Bao never expected that Mu Laidi would actually fall for Lin Zhiwei, who was a year older than her, but Lin Zhiwei was not bad.
They all fled famine together from the original Shanglin Village, and everyone knew each other well. Mu Laidi was her childhood sweetheart; they grew up together...
"Sister Lai Di has good taste! Brother Zhiwei is a really nice guy..."
The girls chatted about their feelings, and it was quite lively. Ningbao suddenly remembered the letter she received this morning. She originally thought that Shen Muyang would write to her after returning to the capital.
I didn't expect to receive a letter so soon after I left. Just now she was envious of Mu Laidi for having a childhood sweetheart, but now that I think about it, she actually has one too.
"By the way, Ningbao, Lai Di and I have both graduated from school, and we're so bored with nothing to do all day. Don't you think we should do something?"
"You graduated?" Ning Bao was very envious when she heard that Mu Laidi and Lin Jiayu had graduated.
"I'm so envious of you guys, it's a pity I haven't graduated yet."
Lin Jiayu smiled.
"We girls don't need to take the imperial examinations, so the knowledge we learn is relatively simple. We can usually graduate after two or three years of study. My sister Lai Di and I are considered to have studied for a relatively long time."
Ningbao, you don't know, I haven't been going to school lately and I'm just staying home all day with nothing to do. Not only does my mother find me annoying, but even my father doesn't like me anymore.
As soon as I mentioned that I was coming to the county town to visit you, my dad immediately harnessed a horse-drawn carriage and brought us here. He even reminded me to stay with you for a few more days.
Sigh! Now I know what it means to be appreciated from afar and to be scorned up close.
