Cheng Jingrang stared at her and put the teapot on the small table: "I also proposed to the Xu family for the sake of being the eldest daughter of the Xu family."
"Xu" Xu Fengmi only uttered one word and was stunned.
She came back to her senses and looked at him with wide eyes: "Ah? What did you say? Did you go to Xu's house to propose marriage?"
"Well." At this time, Xiaokui handed in the hand stove, Cheng Jingrang took it, and then handed the hand stove to Xu Fengmi: "The Xu family has agreed. Ami, now you and I are an unmarried couple."
Xu Fengmi froze on the spot, the hand stove in his hand exuding a steady stream of heat. It was late autumn now, and a chill was gradually coming.
By the time Xu Fengmi regained his composure, Cheng Jingrang was already holding a scroll and was reading it very seriously.
She immediately raised her eyebrows, stretched out her hand, took out the book in his hand, and looked at him: "Why is it so sudden? There must be a lot of rumors in the capital."
"It's not sudden at all." Cheng Jingrang looked at her with a smile: "As for the rumors, that's all there is to talk about. You were not in Beijing at that time, so you can be considered clean."
"But now that I'm back in Beijing, the rumors will definitely come again." Xu Fengmi put the scroll aside and sighed: "I don't know how happy Xu Zhi is. King Zhennan left and King Jing came.
. He is probably burning incense to the ancestors of the Xu family every day to show his gratitude."
The smile in Cheng Jingrang's eyes grew brighter. He stretched out his hand to tuck her hair, and then said calmly: "Now the deal is done, Ami, do you have anything to say?"
After he said that, he suppressed his smile and said seriously: "I remember what you said. Therefore, we can make a marriage arrangement first, and then wait until you are eighteen years old before we get married. Or, we can get married first, but then consummate the marriage.
Let’s wait until you are eighteen years old to talk about this matter. What do you think?”
Xu Fengmi was slightly startled. After a moment, she coughed lightly and said very seriously: "It's not me who takes Qiao. It's just that in my previous place, eighteen is considered an adult. That's what you have here, with a haircut and a weak crown. Do you understand?
?”
Cheng Jingrang nodded: "I understand, so everything depends on you."
He thought for a moment and then asked curiously: "What about getting married? What are the regulations?"
Xu Fengmi cleared his throat and educated him: "There, according to the law, if you want to get married, the woman must be no less than twenty years old, and the man must be no less than twenty-two years old. So, it means that if you want to become a serious person,
Husband and wife have age limits."
She thought for a while and then said quickly: "And there, monogamy is practiced. One husband, one wife."
She said it very solemnly.
Cheng Jingrang's lips curved slightly: "I understand. If I get married to Ami in the future, I will not take a concubine. There will be no other woman around me except you."
Xu Fengmi hummed twice, very satisfied with his attitude.
By the time Xu Fengmi and his party entered the capital, winter had already entered the capital, the weather was cold and the winter wind was howling.
Cheng Jingrang got off the carriage at the gate of the city. He seemed to have some business to attend to. The carriage drove into the city and headed towards the Xu Mansion.
Because Xu Fengmi did not send a letter home, none of the Xu family knew she was back.
Xu Fengmi went to the main house to rest after a long journey, while Xiaokui and others hurriedly went to clean up the house.
"Come back?" He Lanying looked surprised: "Is it such an accident?"
After she said that, she thought for a moment, then stood up and said, "Where is she now? Let me go and have a look."
Shanshan sent someone to bring hot tea, cakes and a charcoal pot. The room was somewhat warm, but not cold at all.
When He Lanying entered the room, the woman was wearing a satin coat, sitting at the top of the table, holding a cup of tea in her hand, and was eating it leisurely.
Xu Fengmi glanced at her: "Mrs. Helan, I haven't seen you for a while."
He Lanying calmed down her thoughts, stepped forward with a smile, and sat down on the first seat on the left: "I haven't seen you for a while." She looked at Xu Fengmi carefully, with a gentle smile: "The big girl has lost a lot of weight, but she can't adapt to it.
Xingyang’s water and soil? Now that we’re back, it’s time to make up for it.”
Xu Fengmi put down the cup and looked at He Lanying, half-smiling but not smiling: "Reduced? I feel like I'm a lot mellower."
She raised her eyebrows and continued: "I came back in a hurry, but I did hear about a happy event."
She leaned back, lowered her eyes and looked at her fingernails, and said casually: "Sixth sister has finally come to the end of her hardships."
"Congratulations to Mrs. Helan."
She smiled and put her hands into her sleeves, looking at He Lanying at leisure.
He Lanying's thoughts changed and she smiled: "How can it be a happy event? The good things done by the eldest girl and Prince Jing are also very enviable."
Xu Fengmi chuckled and did not answer.
At this time, Shanshan came into the room. She handed Xu Fengmi a hand stove and said, "Miss Six is here."
Xu Fengmi took it, hummed slightly, and asked, "When will Milou be tidied up?"
Shanshan: "It's almost time. In half an hour, we will be able to clean it up."
Xu Fengruo walked lightly and entered the house.
Xu Fengmi didn't even look at her, and just said: "Don't just try to be quick, but also clean it up. There must be no omissions."
Shan Shan raised his eyebrows and lowered his eyes: "Save it for me, slave."
Xu Fengruo walked to Xu Fengruo, blessed her body, and said in a soft voice: "Eldest sister, is Xingyang and his party going well?"
Xu Fengmi looked at her and smiled: "Of course it went well."
Xu Fengruo is wearing a long vermilion coat, a dark green skirt with high threads, her hair is parted into a bun with a red hairpin and a silver hairpin, which makes her look a bit luxurious and elegant.
He Lanying, mother and daughter, sat down on the left side of Xu Fengmi, both talking and smiling, and they were friendly and approachable.
Xu Fengmi crossed her arms across her chest, with a smile on her lips, and her slightly teasing eyes fell on Xu Fengruo: "I guess it's the sixth sister who has been looking forward to it for a long time, so the sixth sister is so radiant and overjoyed."
He Lanying's face froze. She didn't expect that Xu Fengmi would talk like a gun and a stick as soon as he returned to Beijing.
What are you looking forward to for a long time? Isn’t this an insinuation that Xu Fengruo has been thinking about her brother-in-law for a long time?
He Lanying calmed down, and then she was about to speak, when the girl next to her said -
"I'm happy for the eldest sister." Xu Fengruo smiled brightly and gently: "His Royal Highness Prince Jing is wise and powerful. From now on, the eldest sister will be Princess Jing."
"Oh?" Xu Fengmi was waiting for her to say this: "Prince Jing is Cheng Xu's elder. So, if things go well in the future, you and Cheng Xu should respectfully call me aunt."
After she said that, she smiled openly: "Hey, things in this world are really unexpected."
Xu Fengruo lowered his eyes: "It should be so."
It was getting late and dark clouds were coming over the sky.
Xu Fengmi returned to Milou. After washing herself, she was preparing for dinner when she heard that Xu Zhi was coming.
She looked calm, put down the bowl and chopsticks, folded her collar, and said: "Invite him to the front hall, I will come right away."
lobby.
Xu Zhi stood in the center of the room, with his hands behind his hands. His expression was sometimes excited, sometimes complicated, and sometimes sighing. I don't know what he was thinking.
"Why are you here, father?" Xu Fengmi stepped into the house, and the first thing he said was to ask why he came.
