The Reborn Noble Daughter

Chapter 80 80. Engagement

The New Year is approaching, and their respective families are getting busy. This may be the last time they see each other a year ago, and then they will have to help their elders take care of themselves at home.

After dinner, Bai Siruo and Feng Jinyao left the Xu family. During the Lantern Festival, the three of them planned to go see Da'ao Mountain together, go to the lantern festival, and have a good night.

Unfortunately, before this plan could be realized, Bai Siruo ran into trouble first.

"I won't marry!"

Bai Siruo stood in Shoukang Courtyard and roared with red eyes.

Sitting in the hall were Mrs. Bai, aunt Lin and Princess Wen Yi. After hearing her words, the three people's originally cheerful faces immediately fell.

Especially Princess Wen Yi, who has loved her daughter very much for many years and has never said a few harsh words.

Suddenly hearing her answer like this, he immediately scolded her.

"Since ancient times, marriage has been a major matter. It has been dictated by the parents and the matchmaker. It's up to you not to marry if you say you won't! You don't want to think about your age. If you delay it any longer, I wonder which family wants an old girl!"

"So what if I'm an old girl? In the worst case, I'll have my hair tied up and go to the mountains to be my aunt. If my mother insists on letting me get married, just beat me to death first."

"You..." After hearing what she said, Princess Wen Yi was so angry that she slapped her in the face, making everyone present stunned.

Auntie Lin was the first to react and quickly stepped forward to pull her, "What are you doing? You don't have a bad temper. How could you hit someone?"

Mrs. Bai felt sorry for her granddaughter being beaten, and hurriedly asked someone to separate the mother and daughter. She pulled Bai Siruo to sit beside her and looked at her face carefully.

Although she was beaten out of anger, Princess Wen Yi did not hit hard, her cheeks were only slightly red, but a hole was punched in Bai Siruo's heart, and she sat there with tears streaming down her face.

"Good boy, you can't talk nonsense like that. If you are gone, how will we old guys live?"

Mrs. Bai comforted her heartily, while lifting the hair from Bai Siruo's ears and blowing her cheeks gently.

Princess Wen Yi was also angry at what she said. It was just asking her to get engaged, but how could it involve life and death? Besides, she was the one who chose her husband's family. How could Prince Kang's palace wrong her?

"Mother, leave her alone. I see that she lives a very comfortable life and has not suffered at all, so she has developed such a modest appearance. You have to get married even if you don't want to, hum."

After that, she threw away her sleeves angrily and left. Auntie Lin was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable, so she frowned and said, "Mom, I'm going to check on my siblings. Siruo, you sit with grandma. Auntie will come back later."

"Go quickly, go quickly." Mrs. Bai was both worried about her granddaughter and worried about her daughter-in-law, and sighed deeply.

"Siruo, you told grandma, but you already have someone you like in your heart?"

Bai Siruo didn't answer, she buried her head even lower, and her tears fell. Seeing this, Mrs. Bai knew that she was right.

"If you like a son from a certain family, tell me and grandma will look at you. If the person is really good, our family is not one that only cares about family status."

At this point, Bai Siruo had lowered her attitude as a married woman, but Bai Siruo didn't know how to answer.

"Grandma, I...I..." She struggled to speak, but the words couldn't come out.

Mrs. Bai thought that she was afraid that someone was there and it was difficult for her to tell, so she asked Aunt Xu on the side to take the people waiting on her left and right down.

Seeing this, the maid Haitang did not dare to hide it anymore, and quickly knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to Mrs. Bai, "Old lady, please help our young lady. She has been looking for that young hero for many years. If it weren't for that person, She won’t delay until today.”

"Begonia!" Bai Siruo was shocked and ashamed when the maid suddenly revealed her secret.

"Young hero? What do you mean?"

"Old lady, you still remember that young lady fell into the water when she went to Mingchi. It was a young hero who saved the young lady. But then we searched the entire Dongdu City to find that person."

Mrs. Bai's expression was solemn. This was all six or seven years ago. Could it be that Siruo had been interested in him since then?

"No, grandma, I just wanted to repay him for saving my life," he explained hurriedly, and then talked about the reason why he didn't marry.

"I don't want to marry into my grandfather's family because... I don't care about my second cousin. I met him once when I was a child, and then he stayed in Liangzhou with my second uncle all the year round. I really can't do anything with him. People get married once..."

Maybe he was frightened by the three eldest grandsons of the Hussar General's Mansion. He always felt that the generals were all like bears, with well-developed limbs and simple minds. Therefore, Bai Siruo also had a very bad impression of this martial second cousin. .

If she wanted to spend the rest of her life with such a person, she would rather become a nun. If that didn't work, she would seek refuge with Xu Mingyue.

Although the master can't do it, it's not bad to be an errand boy by her side.

After hearing what she said, Mrs. Bai thought it was a bit of a joke. Nowadays, the atmosphere in Dongdu City is more open. If they were at that time, let alone meeting each other, many people would only know who their husbands were after they lifted their headscarves before the wedding. Like that.

"On the day of the birthday banquet, I saw that he was here, but you didn't see him?"

Bai Siruo shook her head. She was busy showing off that day, so how could she pay attention to her cousin who was not close to her at all.

Mrs. Bai smiled kindly, "I have seen that child Mu Qian. He is a rare good-looking child. He looks very similar to your eldest aunt. Although he grew up with me in Liangzhou, he is not a rude person. Your second uncle He is a well-known Confucian general, is it possible that Li Da can grow under his command?"

The Li Da in the storybook was an invincible general, but he had a beard and a tall figure. For some reason, Bai Siruo thought of the grandsons of the general's mansion again. .

I couldn't help but shudder.

With the old lady's comforting intentions, Bai Siruo's resistance was no longer so serious. On the other side, Princess Wen Yi also regretted that she had beaten her daughter and cried sadly.

"It's obvious that he's a thorn in his side, but he still wants to attack me. No, it'll hurt my mother's heart if I hit her on my body."

"Sister-in-law is still making fun of me!"

While Princess Wen Yi was crying, she was amused by Lin's words and wanted to laugh again.

Stepping forward and patting the back of her hand, Lin said earnestly, "Siruo is still a child. You didn't tell her through the wind before. If you bring it up rashly, she will naturally resist given her temperament."

"But my sister-in-law also knows that she will be seventeen after the Chinese New Year. If she doesn't get engaged, I'm really afraid."

"What are you afraid of?" Mrs. Lin was a little puzzled. Princess Wen Yi's fearful look made her a little bit more confused. She had thought about proposing a marriage for her child before, but she had never been as anxious as now.
