Chapter 1044: The Man Comes Riding on a Bamboo Horse (33)
Xiao Jianlu heard about the grand Naji ceremony from other students when he went to school the next day.
A: "I didn't get a close look at what the Ning family's little girl looked like, but the Xue family must have valued her very much."
B: "It's more than just respect! This is a show of all your wealth."
A: "By the way, it seems Miss Yuan is getting married soon! When I walked in just now, I saw a notice saying that the private school will be closed for three days starting tomorrow!"
Person B: "I saw it too, but I don't know if we will be invited to the wedding!"
As they were talking animatedly, Yuan Xu walked into the classroom. He waved at Xiao Jianlu and said, "Zi Qiu! You'll sit here from now on. After you get married, you'll attend classes with them for half a day every day. I'll make other arrangements for you the rest of the time."
"Thank you for your guidance, Master!" Xiao Jianlu hurriedly bowed to Yuan Xu.
After hearing this, the people around understood that the master's future son-in-law was Xiao Jianlu.
After class, some people were congratulating him.
Xiao Jianlu agreed to all of them.
On the way home from school, the classmates wanted to invite Xiao Jianlu to a nearby restaurant for a meal. "Brother Xiao, you can't judge a person by appearance! You are really good at hiding secrets!"
"Before the marriage is finalized, I naturally can't say much. It doesn't matter that I'm a man, but the key is that it's not very nice to Miss Yuan!" Xiao Jianlu smiled gently. "By the way, I heard that the Xue family went to the Ning family to propose marriage. I wonder if the Ning family agreed?"
"How could I not agree!" Student A didn't understand why Xiao Jianlu asked this question, but he answered anyway, "Let's not talk about anything else, the gifts alone are quite a lot."
"We can't see how much the betrothal gift money is, but many people have heard about the house deed." Student B shook his head and said, "Alas! Comparing people makes you angry, and comparing goods makes you throw them away. When my sister got engaged, she only had a silver hairpin."
Gold, silver? House deeds? With so many other things, the betrothal gifts given by the Xue family might have exceeded the standard - this might even be considered a good handle.
"Brother Xiao, will you invite us to your wedding?" Another student asked expectantly, "We've been classmates for years, after all. You should definitely treat us to a wedding feast, right?"
When Xiao Jianlu heard this, his expression immediately stiffened for a moment.
He was going to marry into the family, and Xiao Jianlu had no say in what guests to invite to the wedding banquet.
Just when he was in trouble, he saw Ning Yun walking along the street.
I had suppressed my feelings, but after hearing that the other party was engaged, I felt a little uncomfortable.
Now that he saw Ning Yun walking past him, how could he remain indifferent?
"You guys eat first, I'm going out to do something!" Then Xiao Jianlu walked out without waiting for others to react.
Ning Yun completed a large embroidery piece a few days ago. Due to the special material, she could only deliver it at this time.
As she was about to reach the embroidery shop she often visited, she keenly felt that someone was following her.
The public security in Yanzhou City was pretty good, and he was on a busy street, so there probably wouldn't be any danger. However, one must be on guard against others. Ning Yun quickened his pace almost the moment he noticed it, and after a few quick steps he reached his destination - Yunshang Pavilion.
Yunshang Pavilion would normally have closed long ago, but today the shopkeeper, Sister Liu, did not go home because she was waiting for a special embroidery.
Seeing the person she was waiting for scurried in like a rabbit, Sister Liu immediately asked with concern: "Sese, what's wrong? Who is chasing you?"
"I don't know who it is. I just passed by the snack bar and found that someone seemed to be following me!" Ning Yun was a little out of breath. After taking the tea handed over by the proprietress and drinking several mouthfuls, he finally calmed down.
Hearing Ning Yun say this, Sister Liu felt a little embarrassed: "Oh! It's all my fault. This embroidery is so special. I should have sent someone to pick you up."
"It was my mistake. I just thought the whole journey was quite lively, so I didn't ask my brother to take me home!" Ning Yun quickly admitted that she had been inconsiderate. "Manager Liu, let's look at the embroidery!"
"Okay!" Sister Liu took Ning Yun to a room in the back.
When Xiao Jianlu saw Ning Yun enter the embroidery shop, he did not follow her in. After all, the owner there didn't like him very much.
In the past, he had accompanied Ning Yun to deliver things, but the boss would always say some inexplicable words, which roughly meant that Ning Yun should keep his eyes open and not trust others easily.
There was one time in particular when he was so angry that he retorted, "Boss, you just look at me because I'm poor. Let me tell you, don't look down on the poor young! Even though I don't have much money now, I have sincerity."
"So what if you're sincere? The most fickle thing in this world is the human heart!" Sister Liu scoffed disapprovingly. "After all, the only thing you can offer right now is sincerity."
After saying this, the shopkeeper Liu patted Ning Yun on the shoulder and said, "Sister Ning, please don't let some unwanted shrews take away your real money!"
