Chapter 302 They Look Like Family
"Brother Rui!" Chen Chunhua shouted anxiously, and was about to jump into the pond with her old arms and legs.
Cui hurriedly stopped her and asked her long-time servant Aji to go down and rescue the person.
"Ma'am, I...can't swim."
"waste!"
Cui was anxious and angry. Seeing Song Rui splashing in the water for a few times and then losing his voice, Cui shouted for help, "Hurry up, help, save my child, save my son..."
None of the talented young men on the shore went down to rescue the man.
Du Zhihuan quickly ordered the guards to go down and rescue the person.
It's really more of a hindrance than a help!
A bald monk was one step faster than the Du family and jumped into the lotus pond to pull Song Rui out.
“Cough cough cough…”
Song Rui was rescued like a drowned chicken. He fell to the ground and started coughing violently.
"Brother Rui." Chen Chunhua was immediately distressed. "How are you? Are you okay?"
"Ahem...it's okay."
Song Rui suddenly turned his head to look in the direction of Princess Anyang and met Du Zhihuan's disappointed eyes.
The opportunity was given to you, but you didn't seize it.
Don’t even think about becoming Prince Rui’s son-in-law.
Du Zhihuan turned around and chased after Princess Anyang.
Song Rui lay down in a daze.
It’s over!
He really left a good impression on Princess Anyang!
Princess Anyang left, and the talented young men who had come to watch the fun also left.
Only the Song family and the masters from the temple were left at the lotus pond.
"Brother Rui." Chen Chunhua patted his face. Seeing that he was still breathing, she breathed a sigh of relief. "Hurry up, the ground is cold. I just happened to come to Huguo Temple today to ask the Bodhisattva for a good marriage for you..."
＊
"Madam Du, Madam Jiang, are you here together?"
Lin Yutang has already taken Song Yu's hand.
Du Yeshi: "Princess, we met on the way and came here together. When did you and your son get here?"
Lin Yutang touched her belly and said with a smile, "I'm here to fulfill a vow. I came here early yesterday morning so I could burn the first incense today. If I had known you would come, we would have come together yesterday. It's said that burning incense and praying for blessings early in the morning is most effective."
"Burning incense and praying is secondary. I just want to bring Sister Yu to stay at the farm for two nights, and then leave this farm to Sister Yu as a dowry."
Du Zhihuan, Princess Anyang happened to pass by and heard this.
Princess Anyang quickly turned her head to look at Du Zhihuan's expression.
I noticed a hint of sadness in her eyes.
Well, there is a difference between biological children and non-biological children.
Dujiazhuang is the private property of the Du Ye family. Huanhuan loves to visit Dujiazhuang the most. Now that it is given to Song Yu, Huanhuan will have no chance to come again.
"Sister Yu, your grandmother is so kind to you. I heard that Dujia Manor is your grandmother's private property."
Lin Yutang was overjoyed, as Dujiazhuang was the most profitable farm of the Du family.
It is really a good deal to choose Song Yu as the daughter-in-law. All the output of the village will be used to honor her as the mother-in-law.
"Princess, Sister Yu has suffered a lot outside, so I must treat her well."
"Princess." This was Madam Mu who spoke, "It's time for dinner. Let's go to the dining hall together."
Lin Yutang hurriedly pulled Song Yu towards the dining hall first, and Xiao Chengqian followed closely behind, two steps to the right of Song Yu.
"Sister Yu, you haven't tried the vegetarian food at Huguo Temple yet, right? I tell you, it tastes great. I guarantee you'll want to come back next time after you've tried it."
Song Yu tilted his head to look at her: "Then I'm going to taste it carefully later."
Xiao Chengqian looked at the small popsicle in Song Yu's arms, "Is this Cousin Qing's snowball?"
"No, it's its cub. It's Little Ice Cream." Song Yu then explained, "Last time at Fengquan Villa, Snowball scratched me, and the Princess gave it to me as an apology."
"Sister Yu." Lin Yutang asked anxiously, "Where are you hurt? Don't leave any scars."
"No, I cured it a long time ago."
"Girls have to take good care of their skin. Don't let it get bumped or scratched..."
Seeing this, Mu Jingxing felt inexplicably irritated again.
They look like a family.
Mu Jingxing turned around and looked at Du Zhihuan with mixed feelings.
Did she come here to meet her cousin secretly?
Do both sisters want this cousin?!
The more Mu Jingxing thought about it, the colder his face became.
Du Zhihuan lowered her eyes and looked at her feet, and did not see Mu Jingxing's expression. Princess Anyang saw it and thought that Mu Jingxing was looking at her, and she shuddered with fear.
This is the Huguo Temple, can't you just smile, cousin?
"Cousin." Princess Anyang called out awkwardly and pulled Du Zhihuan past him to catch up with Mu Chuqing.
Mu Chuqing turned around and said, "Brother, hurry up and catch up. There are too many pilgrims today and we won't have any vegetarian food if we go late."
"Prince." Xiao Fei hurried over. "Song Rui fell into the water and brought bad luck to Princess Anyang. With so many other young masters around today, there's no way Song Rui would have caught Princess Anyang's eye."
"I understand." Mu Jingxing replied lightly and followed to the dining hall.
The dining hall is divided into two floors. The upstairs is for entertaining dignitaries, while the downstairs is for ordinary people.
The dignitaries who came today are from the Xiao, Mu and Du families.
Mu Jingxing was the last one to go up to the second floor. As soon as he came up, he saw Song Yu and Lin Yutang sitting together. Next to Lin Yutang was Xiao Chengqian, and next to Song Yu was Du Ye.
Xiao Chengqian: "Sister Yu, we are right, right? Isn't Luohancai delicious?"
Song Yu thought the food tasted similar to what he had at Wushuang Temple, and unwilling to offend anyone, he said with a smile, "It's indeed good. It tastes very good." He glanced at Mu Jingxing and picked up a dish of Luohancai and placed it in Du Ye's bowl. "Grandmother, you should eat more. It's not too salty or too bland, just right. When you return home, you should eat more vegetarian food. People with strokes are most afraid of rich fish and meat."
"Okay, okay, I'll do as you say."
Mu Jingxing watched this scene, strode to the next table and sat down next to Mu Chuqing.
Mu Chuqing said softly, "Just now, Madam Du invited us to stay at Du Family Manor."
Mu Jingxing responded in a low voice, "Are your aunt and cousin also going?"
"Of course, the two families will be relatives in the future, and Anyang will also come."
Du Ye and others also wanted to burn incense and worship Buddha, so Lin Yutang sent Xiao Chengqian to accompany Song Yu to visit the Huguo Temple.
Xiao Chengqian thought he could be alone with Song Yu for a while.
Unexpectedly, Mu Chuqing pulled Song Yu away and said, "Sister Yu, I'll take you to visit Huguo Temple."
"Cousin, Sister Yu, please wait for us." Princess Anyang called Du Zhihuan to follow her.
"Let's go over there." Mu Jingxing hooked his arm around Xiao Chengqian's neck and headed towards the bamboo forest in the back mountain.
"Cousin, you and Song Yu are now engaged, and Du Zhihuan also came to Huguo Temple yesterday. Are you still secretly in contact?"
Xiao Chengqian panicked, his face darkening, and his tone became angry. "Cousin, what are you talking about? I only found out about them last night at the Huguo Temple when I was burning incense this morning. I've made it clear to Huanhuan that we are brother and sister, and I've always treated her as my sister. You know me best, and you're also familiar with the rules of our Prince Rong's Mansion."
"You think this way, you're looking down on the Third Rank Noblewoman personally appointed by the Emperor, and you're also looking down on the Marquis' Mansion. Huanhuan was raised by Old Madam Du, she knows the big picture and how to act. If she were so short-sighted, would Old Madam Du let her stay in the Du Mansion?"
"Don't get excited, cousin."
Seeing his reaction, Mu Jingxing believed what he said, but he still had some doubts.
It’s better for these two to meet in private!
Miss Song doesn't have to marry her cousin anymore.
"My cousin was worried that you would make a mistake and regret it in the future. Now it seems that my worry was for nothing."
Xiao Chengqian's panicked heart calmed down, he was really worried that his cousin would see through him.
"Don't worry, cousin. I am sure I love Sister Yu. I will treat Sister Yu wholeheartedly in the future. Otherwise, you, Guan Chen, and the three brothers of the Du family will deal with me."
"Haha... How could that be? We'll go over and protect them from a distance. There are many pilgrims coming and going today, and they're all women, so we don't want anything to happen to them."
At the end of the Wei hour, the three families rushed to Dujiazhuang.
Song Rui watched Princess Anyang get on the carriage with his eyes wide open, his mood plummeting to the bottom.
Without the power of Prince Rui's Mansion, how can we survive in the capital in the future?
My cousin should be more than just a good sister to Princess Anyang, right?
Aren’t there any other sisters like princesses, county ladies, or princesses?
"Let's go, Rui brother, don't watch it."
Chen Chunhua pulled his face over.
She hoped that her eldest grandson could marry into a wealthy family.
But it also depends on whether you are destined to be rich.
Huanhuan was not so lucky and had her life changed, but in the end it was all in vain.
"Study hard for the imperial examination, and next year you'll pass. Then a master from a wealthy family will come to you and ask you to be your son-in-law."
