Chapter 504 If it is suitable, then it is the parents’ order and the matchmaker’s words

Xing Xing blinked.

Princess Qing'an seemed to feel a little embarrassed. She coughed, turned her head away, and pretended to be calm. She asked Xingxing in a low voice: "...Did your third brother tell anyone about me?"

Xingxing finally confirmed it now!

She blinked again, and seeing that Princess Qing'an was already extremely embarrassed, and was now forcing herself to keep calm, she did not keep it a secret and whispered, "Princess, my third brother was studying before, and he didn't say anything about me."

Princess Qing'an was obviously delighted, but she was afraid that Xingxing would discover her feelings, so she grabbed Xingxing's arm and shook it, "...Don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else!"

Xing Xing nodded: "Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah."

Seeing Xing Xing's coaxing posture, Princess Qing'an blushed even more. She could only think of a way to change the subject: "...By the way, do you feel that since the medicinal spring, Yang Ruyuan seems to be targeting your sister?"

This topic perked up Xing Xing: "Yes, I felt that way at that time! ... But why?"

Princess Qing'an immediately put aside her noble lady's dignity, approached Xingxing, and whispered, "...I saw her once before. Does your sister have a..." Princess Qing'an paused and used a more euphemistic word, "a better scholar?"

"...Yang Ruyuan seems to have entangled him."

Xing Xing was surprised: "Huh?"

She looked a little serious: "Princess, please tell me about this in detail."

This concerns Huya's lifelong happiness, so Xingxing must be extremely cautious.

Princess Qing'an then told the story, saying that she first saw the scholar shopping with Hu Ya and buying some pens, ink, paper and inkstone, and that Yang Ruyuan was also in the bookstore at that time; later, Hu Ya left, and the scholar was holding a lot of books, so Yang Ruyuan deliberately bumped into him, and the books in the scholar's arms fell to the ground.

Yang Ruyuan took this opportunity to get entangled with the scholar.

"Don't worry, that scholar avoids Yang Ruyuan like a snake or a scorpion." Princess Qing'an whispered, "He seems to be reliable."

Xingxing breathed a sigh of relief.

She thought, Sister Huya has traveled all over the country with the caravan, and she has met countless people of all kinds. If the scholar wanted to deceive her, he probably couldn't deceive Sister Huya.

Thinking of this, Xing Xing finally felt relieved.

Xingxing took Princess Qing'an around the house again.

When Princess Qing'an left, there was a look of satisfaction on her face.

When she returned to the courtyard, Yu Yongbai and Yu Yongliu were drinking tea and waiting for Xingxing in Qiu Shui Garden.

Seeing Xing Xing coming back, Yu Yongbai asked with a smile, "Is the princess gone?"

"Yeah." Xingxing nodded. Princess Qing'an was a girl, so Xingxing didn't tell her two brothers much about Princess Qing'an. She just asked curiously, "Second brother, third brother, why are you waiting for me here? What's going on?"

Yu Yongbai smiled and said, "I came to you because of Hu Ya. Her scholar's examination has been completed and she is said to have done quite well. I want to help Hu Ya buy some dowry. She has been working for me for so many years and has traveled all over the country. It is only right for me to help her with some dowry... However, you know better what girls like. You can help my second brother to check it out when the time comes."

Xing Xing responded immediately: "Okay, okay."

Xing Xing looked at Yu Yongliu again: "Where's Third Brother? What do you want from me?"

Yu Yongliu coughed, but before he could say anything, Yu Yongbai burst into laughter and nudged Yu Yongliu's shoulder with his shoulder: "Your third brother, the chief priest of the Imperial College, has sent an invitation to your third brother."

Xing Xing was a little confused: "Ah? What happened?"

Yu Yongbai smiled meaningfully, "What else can I do? That Imperial College Master has a daughter who is waiting to be married. I saw from the invitation that my second aunt was also invited. My second aunt wanted to take you with her. I happened to have something to ask you, so I came with my third brother to ask if you would like to go."

When Xing Xing heard this, she remembered the blush on Princess Qing'an's face and let out an "ah", feeling somewhat conflicted.

She just told Princess Qing'an that her third brother has not yet arranged a marriage!

This, this, this…

"What's wrong?" Yu Yongliu said, "If Xingxing doesn't want to go, it's okay for her not to go."

Xing Xing waved her hands: "No, no. It's just..."

She looked at Yu Yongliu's expression and asked directly, "Third brother, are you going to discuss marriage with the daughter of the Imperial Academy's chief priest?"

Yu Yongbai laughed at the side.

Yu Yongliu was quite calm: "This is the meaning of the memorial."

Xing Xing asked anxiously, "What does Third Brother think?"

Yu Yongliu, however, didn't seem to care much: "I haven't met that lady before, but I have to try to meet her. If she is suitable, then it will be decided by our parents and matchmaker."

Xingxing wanted to say something but didn't know what to say, so she just pursed her face.

All right.

Just go with the flow!

Xing Xing agreed: "... Third brother, when will the post from the Imperial College be issued? I will go there with Second Aunt then."

Yu Yongliu nodded and told the date.

But it happened to be two days before the results were announced.

All we can say is that the Imperial College chief was very confident in Yu Yongliu's talent. He knew that Yu Yongliu was such a rare talent that once the results were announced, he would become famous overnight and would be a popular commodity that everyone would vie for.

He might as well strike first!

The three siblings talked for a while, and Yu Yongliu left first as he had something else to do.

Xingxing called out to Yu Yongbai: "...Second brother, do you know the scholar that Sister Huya is talking about?"

Yu Yongbai nodded and thought for a moment: "I've met him twice. He's okay. He's a steady person."

Hearing her second brother say this, Xingxing felt more relieved.

She said happily: "... Then I will prepare some makeup for Sister Huya. What Second Brother prepares is what Second Brother prepares, and what I prepare is naturally my gift."

Yu Yongbai smiled and nodded Xingxing's head, then asked, "Do you have enough money to spend?"

The Xingxing mine required huge initial investment and was a bottomless pit that ate up money. All of Xingxing's dividends from the past two years were used to finance it.

After coming to the capital, Xingxing often bought things for her family and even donated 12,000 taels of silver.

Now that he has to buy makeup for Hu Ya, Yu Yongbai is worried that his sister will not have enough money.

Xing Xing chuckled and replied in a chorus, "That's enough! You forgot, His Majesty and the Empress gave me a lot of gifts. I don't think I will have to buy jewelry or clothes for the next few years. I wonder how much money I can save!"

She lowered her voice, "...Also, second brother, you don't know, right? Grandma and the others always like to give me banknotes. In our family, I am the only one who is least likely to be short of money!"

Yu Yongbai laughed and tapped Xingxing's little nose.

But then Yu Yongbai asked the servant to bring over a stack of small banknotes for daily expenses.

It is said that Xingxing now has a lot of young ladies to meet, and they always go out shopping together on weekdays, so she cannot do that without money.

Xingxing looked at the box full of banknotes, sighed happily, and put the banknotes away.
