Allure of a Country Maiden

"Mom, my eldest brother has admitted that he likes Miss Zhu. Remember to send a message to your aunt tomorrow and ask her to go check out the Zhu family on the second day of the new year."

Jingrui blushed after hearing this: "When did I say that I like Zhu..., you girl, don't talk nonsense, it's not good to ruin other people's reputation!"

"You said you don't like her, but you're protecting her before you get her home!" Xiaoer joked slyly.

"Brother is telling the truth, my mother asked you if you don't like Miss Zhu, and you said no, it's not that you don't like it, that means you like it! A double negative is more affirmative! Even Xi'er understands such a simple truth!" Xi'er said with disdain. He glanced at Jingrui.

"Xi'er said it well, a double negative is more affirmative. If the eldest brother doesn't like her, he probably likes her a little more. He especially likes Miss Zhu." Xiaoer rarely saw Jingrui blushing, so she couldn't help but continue to joke.

Well, let’s make the blush more intense!

Jingrui: "..."

It’s getting more and more outrageous! It’s really hard to argue!

"Okay, among you siblings, do any of you tease your eldest brother like this? Such jokes are not allowed outside, so as not to ruin the reputation of other girls."

When Shen Chengyao saw Jingrui blushing with laughter from the brothers and sisters, he couldn't help but speak out to save him.

"There are no outsiders here, so it's no big deal to talk. If the eldest brother doesn't tell his true feelings, who knows who he likes? Getting married is a lifelong event, and of course the eldest brother's wife must choose someone he likes! If you don't ask clearly, My eldest brother doesn't like the sister-in-law I married back. If my eldest brother faces someone he doesn't like every day, then what hope do I have in the future? Right, eldest brother? I should ask you if you like it, right?" Xiaoer said to Jingrui. blink.

Jingrui didn't know whether to laugh or cry about this girl, but he knew that the more he avoided answering, the more they would make trouble.

It doesn't matter if a man gets married when he's young and a girl gets married when she's young, so he pretended to be calm and nodded: "Young couple, old companions, these are people who want to spend a lifetime together. My wife not only wants me to like her, but dad Mom and you must like it too."

Xiaoer gave Jingrui a thumbs up in her heart, what a good answer! However, he still avoided answering whether he liked Zhu Yan or not.

"So, brother, do you like Miss Zhu? Although Miss Zhu's family is a merchant, she is considered to have an innocent family background and is loyal and patriotic."

Xiaoer told Jingrui that Feng Yang had already found out that Zhu Yan's father was not General Li's.

"That's right! Brother, do you like Miss Zhu? Why don't you show your attitude!" Jing Hao looked like he would ask the question to the end if you didn't say it yourself!

Jingrui was silent for a moment and thought about it. The girl's behavior that day was that Zhu Yan was kind-hearted and had a sense of justice. The character of such a woman should not be much different, right? Although she is very powerful, fortunately she is not really a weak scholar. She practices martial arts every day and is not as strong as her. There is nothing unacceptable in thinking this way.

However, you can’t tell a person’s character by just one or two things. He likes her, but he doesn’t like her enough to have to be her. Thinking of this, Jingrui said honestly: “I think Miss Zhu It’s very good, but I don’t know much about it, so I would like to ask my mother to send someone to find out more.”

His wife is the eldest sister-in-law, and she must not be that stingy or short-sighted person.

Jingrui hopes that his wife will be more honest, but not so much that she doesn't even understand the housekeeper.

Girls from aristocratic families in the imperial capital have received a different upbringing since they were young, and their family relationships are deeply entangled. Girls who grow up in such an environment have too many little thoughts of their own for Jingrui.

Although Zhu Yan also had it, at least she confessed everything to Xiaoer.

Jingrui doesn't need to find a legitimate daughter from a high family to help him, he has the confidence to fight for a bright future.

Now that it has been confirmed that his father and General Li are not involved, there is no need to worry.

"It's natural." Mrs. Liu nodded happily when she saw Jingrui relenting.

"Brother, you haven't said whether you like Miss Zhu or not!" Xi'er said seriously.

Jingrui: I’m so depressed. Did he express his feelings just now without changing his face?

This little girl is usually very clever, why can't she understand such a simple hint now? !

"Haha..." Everyone laughed looking at Jingrui's impatient expression.

Jing Rui felt that rather than being teased by his brother and sister about this topic again, it would be better for him to answer quickly.

"I guess I like it. I suddenly remembered that I haven't finished the homework assigned by the Master. I'll go back to the study to catch up. Call me when you're eating dumplings!" Jingrui dropped these words and ran away.

Just marrying a daughter-in-law, why is it more stressful than going to the exam room?

The brothers and sisters laughed out loud again when they saw this.

"Look at you, big or small, you scared the big brother away!" Mrs. Liu feigned anger.

"If you want to marry a wife, you have to be thick-skinned! How can you get a wife if you are shy? How can a mother get a grandson as soon as possible?" Xiaoer said with a smile.

"Okay, your eldest brother is thin-skinned, stop laughing at him!"

When Mother spoke, the brothers and sisters naturally nodded in response!

However, Xi'er was so angry that she said, "Mom, we should have finished laughing. Don't you think it's too late to stop us now?"

puff! The Xiaoer brothers and sisters couldn't help laughing again.

"Go, go, go, tear me down! If I had stopped you just now and prevented you from making trouble, how would I know your brother's intentions? When will you have to wait until you have a sister-in-law? Right!"

"My mother is wise," Jing Hao said seriously.

"Mother will burn bridges by crossing the river and then don't want us anymore after using us!" Xi'er said angrily.

Mrs. Liu: "..."

…

The family was talking and laughing, and quickly finished making the dumplings.

The maids took the wrapped dumplings to the kitchen to cook.

After the dumplings were cooked, they were served. Xiaoer, Jingrui, and Jinghao were the first to eat a silver dice.

Seeing this, Yun'er smiled and said: "Sister is going to get married in a few months. It's not surprising that she ate silver dices in one bite. My eldest brother and Hao'er also ate silver dices in one bite. It seems that our family will be married this year. There will definitely be two toppers in the imperial examination!"

Shen Chengyao and Mr. Liu laughed even more happily after hearing this.

There is nothing in this world that makes parents happy. Of course, their daughter has a good marriage and her son is promising again!

As soon as Yun'er finished speaking, she exclaimed softly, and then spit out a silver needle.

Seeing this, Xiaoer smiled and said, "I knew Brother Ri couldn't wait any longer. Look! I really don't want to wait any longer!"

Yun'er has always been thin-skinned, but when Xiao'er said this, her face instantly turned red.

Shen Chengyao and Liu glanced at each other, feeling both a touch of joy and a little sadness in their hearts.

When my daughter grows up, she will marry into someone else’s family! This is the last year the family will spend time together.

In the future, the children will each have their own homes.
