PFC Chapter 451 Xu Family Villa
Chapter 451 Xu Family Villa
Seeing Qi Ningliang evading responsibility, Shen Rongrong waved her hand and said, "It's not a valuable thing. Brother Qi, you should keep it. It will also give me peace of mind."
After saying that, she opened the snack in front of her without hesitation, and it seemed that she didn't want to bother with Qi Ningliang anymore.
Qi Ningliang suddenly found it somewhat interesting. He didn't know what was in the box, but it aroused his curiosity for no reason.
Gu Qingyun and Qi Ning'an just pretended not to see it. If they had interrupted them, it would have been extremely awkward.
The group suddenly fell silent. Qi Ningliang was not a person who did not know etiquette, so after thanking them, he put the box away.
In Kyoto Prefecture, exchanging gifts is quite common. There is no need to feel embarrassed, as long as it is not a purse or something with a name written or embroidered on it.
"This lotus crisp is not fried very well..." Shen Rongrong put down the lotus crisp in her hand hesitantly. The lotus crisp in Kyoto restaurant is many times more delicious.
It's a pity that her parents are afraid that she will get fatter and fatter. She has already passed the marriageable age this week. If she continues to eat, who knows which man will marry her.
Every time she went out to attend a banquet, the maidservant around her would always remind her to eat less, for fear that she would be scolded by her parents when she returned home.
Shen Rongrong sighed. Actually, she was not that fat. She just had a little more flesh than those slim girls, and her face was a little rounder.
But if Qi Ning'an looked at it, in modern times, she would be considered slightly fat at best.
Everyone was talking about the latest gossip in Kyoto Prefecture, such as which young lady was engaged to which young man, and which family had given birth to a big fat boy.
Gu Qingyun kept stroking the hairpin in his hand, feeling that their relationship was now an open secret, but Qi Ningan was reluctant to tell him when he would come to propose marriage.
The hairpins held in his hand were of different colors and styles. Looking at them made Gu Qingyun feel dazed and his heart felt itchy.
Until they separated, Gu Qingyun was still hesitant. Qi Ning'an didn't seem to care about him, and even seemed jealous of him, but why didn't he want to make it public?
Qi Ning'an followed Qi Ningliang into the carriage to the Xu family's villa, holding the hairpin in his hand, and was also nervous.
It’s not that I don’t like Gu Qingyun, in fact, I’m becoming more and more attracted to him.
But she just didn't know how to continue. Living in ancient times, she would be labeled with all kinds of titles if she was not careful, and she didn't want that.
But she didn't want to lose her freedom because of it.
She still wants to continue to run her restaurant and do her business. If she can no longer do these things in the future, then...
Qi Ningliang didn't know if he heard his sister sighing beside him, but he suddenly reached out and touched her head, "Don't think too much, Dad and I are always with you, and we won't let anything happen to you."
Qi Ning'an felt his eyes warm up in the already dark carriage. He slowly turned his head, lifted a corner of the carriage curtain, and looked at the bustling Kyoto city. The lantern festival that lasted all night was just about to begin.
They just looked at the lights when they lit up, wandered around casually and left. It's not that the lights were not beautiful, but there are many lantern festivals every year. Even if they just wanted to see them, they just took a look to see if there were any new and interesting things.
Qi Ning'an responded softly and lowered the curtain, but his mind was still a little confused. As expected, the most difficult thing in the world is love.
. . . . . .
Xu family villa.
Madam Xu sat at the top of the main hall, on a cushioned magnolia couch with a tray of tea sets that were obviously made of fine purple pottery.
The young ladies below had different expressions, as if they were trying to guess the old lady's intentions, but some of them were unable to open their mouths.
Madam Xu was usually the strictest person, and it was easy to flatter someone in the wrong way if one was not careful. Everyone was silent and didn't dare to speak.
The Second House’s First Lady endured and endured, but finally gave in. “This little girl of Sixth Lady really suffered a lot before we finally found her. It’s a pity that she is not close to our family, otherwise Madam Wu and Madam Xian would be very happy.”
As he spoke, he frowned and drank tea, looking extremely regretful.
The two young ladies mentioned by the doctor of the second wife were the only two young ladies of the first wife's generation.
"Why are you talking nonsense? The child is home, just meet him/her peacefully. What's the matter with being close or not? I think you want to exchange Madam An for your Madam Ruan. You should give up those thoughts as soon as possible. You can't exchange the young ladies in the third and fourth rooms, and you don't dare to have any ideas about the first room. Now the little girl born by the sixth wife hasn't come home to recognize her ancestors yet, and you have your eyes on her again. Besides, Qi Ning'an, the surname is Qi, I don't believe Xu, so give up those little thoughts as soon as possible."
Old Madam Xu couldn't stand hearing this person talk. She complained about everything every day. She looked generous, but her little thoughts were always written on her face.
The second wife was stunned, and tears were about to fall from her beautiful big eyes. She was worried about her Miss Ruan. Why could the ladies of other families marry well and marry into a high-class family?
Her wife, Madam Ruan, is also a legitimate daughter, so why must she marry the illegitimate son of the Bai family? No matter how she thinks about it, she feels that it is unfair.
The family property amounted to tens of thousands of taels, and the fields and shops were innumerable. She was originally the daughter of a merchant, and she left such a large dowry, but she just put it all on her own wife, Madam Ruan, hoping that she would be able to become successful one day and help her uncle's family.
What's the point of marrying into the Bai family? A businessman marrying a businessman, why bother?
Even if he is a royal relative, the lady in her family deserves him and wants him.
So much dowry, so many treasures, and so many years of planning, could they all be moved to the Bai family's yard?
Even if she married into the Bai family, it would be the result of a marriage between the two families. But how could she be willing to have a bastard?
"Second sister-in-law, I'm not saying anything bad about you, bastard, but you only care about this little thing all day long. Even if she wants to get married, our Madam Wei can marry her. Isn't it because she has chosen your Madam Ruan? Besides, Mr. Bai will take the imperial examination this autumn. If he wins, you can't have him. There is no legitimate son in their family. If he wins this year, he will be the legitimate son. Look at your good judgment."
The third wife usually looked down upon her second sister-in-law's behavior, so this time, she naturally rolled her eyes to the sky.
In these aristocratic families, there are constant disputes every day, between this room and that room, between this young lady and that young man. Otherwise, how can we say that even an honest judge cannot settle family affairs?
Old Madam Xu closed her eyes, feeling extremely annoyed.
