"Impressive! Just that one sentence is enough to scare away countless people. This Grand Tutor is truly a clever man," Xia Hua couldn't help but praise.
Now we're just waiting for Wen Liu and the others to come back so we can ask Dong Yanbo what he's usually like. He doesn't usually have many problems, but when he encounters setbacks, he might do something extreme.
"I understand, you may leave."
"Yes, Master."
When Wen Liu and the others return in the evening, I will tell them what happened today, and also talk about Dong Yanbo's daily life, and give them my opinions.
Wen Liu said, "Auntie, Dong Yanbo is a good person and he is quite calm when things happen, but he hasn't said much to me these past few days."
It seems that the guy was embarrassed because he wanted to marry his sister. But that's okay. As long as he asked a matchmaker to come and propose, and it wasn't an elopement, it was fine. Maybe the guy knew and was afraid he would beat him up.
Wen Fan chimed in, "Auntie, I've met Dong Yanbo a few times, and he's quite nice. He doesn't have any particular hobbies, drinks in moderation, and speaks with a good sense of proportion. He's really good."
Xia Hua nodded, "Ruohua, your aunt has also told you what she found out. Wen Liu and Wen Fan also talked about Dong Yanbo's daily life. Tell me your thoughts. Whether you like it or not, we'll do it your way."
Ruoxi thought for a while and nodded directly, "Auntie, please reply to the matchmaker that I agree to this marriage." Although she had only met Young Master Dong once, she didn't want someone with ulterior motives.
“Since you’ve agreed, I’ll reply to the official matchmaker tomorrow. Don’t go out during this time; stay home and embroider your wedding dress,” Xia Hua said.
Although there were embroiderers, Ruohua's skills were excellent; even the girls in the village workshops couldn't embroider as well as her.
"Don't worry, Auntie, I'll stay home and embroider diligently. It's just that I wonder if Mother will come back when I get married." According to Auntie, her mother has been gone for quite some time; surely she won't be gone for a whole year?
Xia Hua thought for a while, "Let's see what the Dong family thinks first, and try to arrange it this year. Although your fifth brother is also getting married, it won't conflict. If your mother doesn't come, there's still your aunt."
All she knew was that Shushu would return on New Year's Eve, since that was the day they were going to do something important. As for whether she would come earlier, that depended on Xiao Yubai's abilities.
Ruohua nodded, "Thank you, Auntie." It seemed that her mother really had something to do.
The next day, Xia Hua sent the official matchmaker to inform the Dong family that they agreed to the marriage. The matchmaker was also very happy. After leaving the An residence, they went to inform the Dong family, and soon the marriage was settled.
Ruohua and Dong Yanbo were a perfect match according to their birth dates, and everything went smoothly afterward. The wedding was set for mid-November, by which time Wenwu would already be married, so it wouldn't affect Ruohua. The Dong family also hoped to hold the wedding this year, which suited Xia Hua perfectly.
After all, a new emperor will be appointed next year. If the marriage is arranged now, it won't affect Ruohua regardless of whether it succeeds or not. Of course, they can't fail.
Meanwhile, An Shuyi was unaware of her daughter's serious matter and was preoccupied with causing trouble. When she woke up, she realized that two days had already passed. Without asking, she knew that Xiao Yubai had drugged her again, which was why she had slept for so long.
"Let's stop at the city ahead. My legs are numb from sitting. I need to rest for a couple of days. Also, there's no fruit or snacks in this carriage. I'd like to eat lotus flower pastries."
Xiao Yubai nodded, "Okay, but it can only be a one-day break. I'll prepare the fruit and snacks, but I don't know how to make lotus flower pastries."
Although he had never been with a woman before, he could tell at a glance that this young lady wanted to cause trouble, but what could he do? Of course, he had to do as she said.
An Shuyi raised a flirtatious eye and said arrogantly, "If you don't know how to do it, then learn. No one is born knowing how. What, you don't want to? If you don't want to, then send me back. At least there's food and drink in the capital."
"Alright, I'll learn, but only when I get to the border. There's nothing here, so please make do. I'll definitely be able to cook it once we get to the border." It seems I'll have to have the guards bring the cook over.
"Since you're so reluctant, forget it. I'm afraid you might poison me!"
"I'm not unwilling at all; I'd be happy to cook for you."
"It's good that you're not unwilling. My legs are numb, can you massage them for me? Also, it's so hot, I need to change my clothes." An Shuyi said, lifting her legs up.
Xiao Yubai could only massage her legs. "I'll take you shopping when we get to the next city." Seeing that she was so hot that she took off all her clothes except for her undershirt and skirt, he knew she was really hot.
But there was no ice here, so we had to go to the next city to buy some. He also regretted not being prepared before taking her to the border, and he never expected her to be so afraid of the heat.
"Too heavy, be gentle!"
"yes!"
After he had massaged her legs for a while, he put them down. "Fan me!" She was so hot. This awful place was really hot, at least thirty degrees Celsius. She missed Huahua and ice cream, but she didn't have any here.
All she has here are the snacks, fruits, and treats from earlier, but no ice cream. It's a pity that Hua Hua won't be coming; she'll just stay and take care of things, because she knows she won't be in any danger.
But Hua Hua probably doesn't know that she's hot and wants to eat ice cream, popsicles, or even ice cubes.
"Yes," Xiao Yubai could only use one hand to massage her leg and the other to fan herself, like a maid, or even worse.
It wasn't until evening that they arrived at Tiancheng Mansion and found an inn to stay in. Only then did Xiao Yubai take her out to buy clothes.
After a day, the effects of the drug had worn off, and her body wasn't as soft. However, she still couldn't exert any force. She wondered what kind of drug the old man had used to make it so strong.
Looking at the clothes in the clothing store, all of them thick and long, she instantly lost her mood. "Wrap up this set, this set, and that row of clothes for me." Although she was in no mood, she had plenty of ways to make a fuss.
The owner of the clothing shop glanced at Xiao Yubai, and only after he nodded did she wrap up all the clothes. Then the two went to a pastry shop and a candied fruit shop.
Looking at the candied fruit, An Shuyi said unhappily, "I want fruit, not candied fruit."
"My dear wife, it's already evening. Where am I supposed to buy fruit? Please make do with this for now, and I'll buy you some tomorrow, okay?"
"I don't think it's good. I don't eat anything that isn't fruit." With that, she turned and left, heading straight back to the inn.
"Boss, what kind of food do you have at your inn? Please bring me one of everything." After saying that, he found a seat.
Xiao Yubai took the things he was carrying back upstairs before running down to sit next to her. "Madam, don't be angry. I'll take you to buy fruit tomorrow." But what kind of fruit can you buy now?
