Chapter 480 Someone actually came to inquire about Xingxing’s marriage!

Ju Ge'er was troubled to find that his little brothers had been particularly warm and attentive to him since then.

How should I put it? I’m so angry!

Gradually, someone even came to inquire about Xingxing's marriage!

The relationship that person used at that time was quite roundabout. He found Madam Liu, who was good friends with Bai Xiaofeng. Taking advantage of the opportunity when Madam Liu was looking for someone for her daughter Tong Yunpeng, he asked Madam Liu indirectly whether Fusui Xiangjun of the Zhenxi General's Mansion had mentioned the person.

When Mrs. Liu understood what the other party meant, she was stunned!

Seeing that Mrs. Liu was very surprised, the other party laughed instead: "Why are you so surprised? Although your daughter Peng Jie is just looking for a boyfriend now, there are many girls in Beijing who look for a boyfriend when they are twelve or thirteen years old. If you look for a boyfriend earlier, you can get a good boy earlier. Look at your daughter Peng Jie, you love her and keep her until now. If you look for a boyfriend now, it's not that you don't have good boys, but the range of choices is much smaller, isn't it?"

That makes sense.

Mrs. Liu was straightforward and didn't hesitate to agree: "... Then I'll ask Mrs. Bai Er for you. But I'll make it clear that I'll only ask for you. I won't take care of anything else."

The other party smiled happily and promised repeatedly: "Okay, okay, just help me ask, I'll accept your favor!"

Mrs. Liu went to look for Bai Xiaofeng hesitantly.

The Spring Examination was coming up soon, and the Imperial College gave all students a holiday to review their lessons at home. Bai Xiaofeng prepared delicious food for Yu Yongliu, who was about to take the Spring Examination.

When Mrs. Liu came to look for Bai Xiaofeng, Bai Xiaofeng was in the kitchen with the maid catching a few pigeons that had escaped from their cages and were flying around.

Bai Xiaofeng was very familiar with Madam Liu. She and the maid put the captured pigeon into the cage, patted the feathers on her body, and went to the main house to meet Madam Liu.

When Mrs. Liu saw Bai Xiaofeng like this, she was surprised and laughed: "What have you been doing? Why do you have a feather in your hair?"

Bai Xiaofeng quickly looked in the mirror and plucked the feathers. She was not afraid of Mrs. Liu's laughter. She said, "Ouch!" "What else can I do? Isn't my brother Liu going to take the imperial examination soon? I'm going to make some pigeon soup for him to nourish his body!"

Mrs. Liu had also heard of Yu Yongliu's reputation in the Imperial College, so she said with emotion, "Your family is going to have a Jinshi soon. I'm so jealous of you. I think Brother Liu will be able to bring you a golden crown and a red robe soon."

Bai Xiaofeng loved to hear these words.

At present, her mother-in-law and sister-in-law have both received imperial decrees, and even her little niece has been given the title of Lady of the Country. If she wants to enter the palace, she will need to have an imperial decree.

She has been jealous for too long.

At this moment, whenever Bai Xiaofeng thought that her brother Liu could bring her back a golden crown and a bridal robe, her heart was filled with excitement!

Mrs. Liu chatted with Bai Xiaofeng for a while about the imperial examination. Bai Xiaofeng suddenly remembered and asked hurriedly, "Haven't you been busy with your daughter Peng's marriage these days?"

At this point, Madam Liu had a headache: "Isn't it? Since the new year has passed, our sister Peng is already fifteen years old. Even if I love her so much and want her to stay for two more years, it's time for her to find someone else... You don't know how unreliable the guy I met a few days ago was. The boy is only sixteen this year, and the illegitimate son is already two years old! And he dared to tell my sister Peng about this. I was so angry that I almost died!"

Mrs. Liu got so excited when she started complaining that she pulled Bai Xiaofeng aside and talked for half an hour until her mouth was dry.

As a mother who would also be worried about her son's marriage in the near future, Bai Xiaofeng could empathize with Mrs. Liu's anger, and the two of them cursed each other for almost half an hour.

When Mrs. Liu was drinking tea to moisten her throat, she remembered the purpose of her visit. She coughed and asked quickly, "...Come to think of it, Xingxing is about twelve or thirteen years old this year, right? Have you told her about the other person?"

Bai Xiaofeng almost spilled her tea after hearing this.

"ah?"

She was shocked: "Xingxing is still a child!"

Madam Liu said quickly, "Of course I know that Xingxing is still young, but in Beijing, many families see each other very early, and some even arrange marriages when they are just a few years old. They are mainly afraid that good boys will be betrothed early..."

She sighed again, "Look at how angry I've been with Sister Peng recently."

Bai Xiaofeng was slightly moved by what he said, but still had some resistance.

They have raised this sweet little girl since she was little, and now she's looking at someone else?

No, no, it's too early!

Mrs. Liu understood from Bai Xiaofeng's attitude. She did not hide it from Bai Xiaofeng: "...Actually, I understand. Who wouldn't want to keep their daughter for a few more years if they dote on her? And there is a saying that goes, "If someone is good when they are young, they may not be good when they grow up." Anyway, everyone has their own fate. I am asking you today because someone asked me to. I think he has taken a fancy to your Xingxing."

Bai Xiaofeng was in a very complicated mood.

Their daughter Xingxing is beautiful, has a good temper, is sensible, and is a lucky little girl. It's normal for someone to like her.

But their daughter Xingxing is still young!

Bai Xiaofeng directly rejected Mrs. Liu, but Mrs. Liu didn't care and just passed on a message.

——However, this is not an isolated case. There are also some other people who are also looking for their own ways to marry into the Zhenxi General's Mansion.

When this news reached Mrs. Wei, she was very unhappy:

"Why pick it so early? Our Xingxing is still young! If there is no good man in the future, our Xingxing will not marry. Our Yu family will support Xingxing for her whole life!"

Everyone agreed with this.

Xingxing was still unaware.

She had just received a letter from Wei Shiyan.

During the Chinese New Year, Yu Yongliu helped Xingxing win the Fengzhenzhu lantern. Xingxing felt sorry for Wei Shiyan and the old Taoist priest spending the New Year alone in the mountains, so she asked Yu Yongbai's caravan to help her deliver the lantern to Wei Shiyan.

After a while of going back and forth, the letter that Wei Shiyan entrusted the caravan to bring back finally landed in Xingxing's hands.

It's a painting.

The phoenix-and-beaded lantern painted by Wei Shiyan was hung on the bookshelf in his study.

There are four words written below the painting:

"I like it, thank you."

Xing Xing looked at the painting and seemed to be able to see the Feng Xianzhu shining slowly in Wei Shiyan's study, warming the night.

Xingxing was very happy and looked at the painting again and again.

Xingxing didn't know at this moment that the same painting had already been sent to the East Palace.

However, the painting sent to the East Palace was obviously painted by Wei Shiyan in a very sloppy and simple manner.

Wei Shiyan's brother, Crown Prince Wei Shiqing, was looking at the letter in his hand with some disbelief.

My brother's letters home actually have pictures?

Below the painting is a line of small, calm and restrained characters.

"Isn't the lantern beautiful? Xingxing gave it to me."

Wei Shiyan's brother: "..."

Asking means I have mixed feelings.
