In fact, even if she didn't ask, she knew what Xu Zhi was asking.
Xu Zhi turned to look at her, wanting to say something. Xu Fengmi fluttered his sleeves, folded his hands and sat down: "Sit down and talk."
Xu Zhi sat down, rubbed his hands with a dry smile, and asked: "Ami, what do you think of this trip to Xingyang? If you had told me earlier, I could have sent someone to escort you to Xingyang."
Xu Fengmi looked at him: "Father, are you blaming me for going to Xingyang on my own without consulting you?"
"No, no, no." Xu Zhi waved his hands hurriedly: "That's not what I meant, I'm just worried about your comfort."
Xu Fengmi picked up the teapot and slowly filled their cups with tea. Xu Zhi looked restless, as if he wanted to say something, but didn't dare to speak impulsively.
Xu Fengmi knew the purpose of his visit, but pretended not to know anything. He drank tea leisurely and looked at him anxiously.
"Ah Mi." How could Xu Zhi be in the mood to drink tea? All he could think about now was the engagement between Xu Fengmi and Cheng Jingrang.
He cleared his throat: "You are engaged to His Highness Prince Jing, but the wedding date has not been determined. What do you think of this matter?"
Xu Fengmi raised her eyebrows. She put the tea cup on the table and said, "I already know about this matter. Cheng Jingrang told me personally."
She actually called His Highness Prince Jing by his first name, and Xu Zhi opened his eyes wide.
"So, what else does father want to say during this trip?" Xu Fengmi looked at him and said in a calm tone: "It's a long way back to Beijing. If father has nothing to do, please come back."
"Yes." Xu Zhi stood up quickly and said in a warm tone: "It's nothing important. I just wanted to come and see you and talk to you about this. You are indeed very tired from the long journey. So what about you?
Take a rest now."
After Xu Zhi left, Xu Fengmi sat for a while, then went to wash up and get on the couch, and went to bed early.
The next day.
Xu Fengmi received messages from Bai Qi and Ruan Chulian.
"Who is this Ruan Chulian?" She couldn't remember this person, but she only felt that the name was familiar.
Xiaokui smiled and said: "Have you forgotten, girl? Before you went to Xingyang, you went to the Princess Luyang's mansion to attend the birthday banquet and met this girl Ruan. She was the niece of the queen. At that time, the queen wanted to marry her to Jing.
Your Highness, please make a pair."
Xu Fengmi remembered.
She yawned and put the post aside: "Let's make an appointment together. Post a post to Xiaoqi and Ruan Chulian, and we'll talk about it at Jianhe Pavilion tomorrow afternoon."
It is now afternoon, the sun is high in the sky, and the house is also sprinkled with some golden color.
Xu Fengmi stood at the window, holding her hands on the window frame and looking out. When she saw the yard full of dead branches, she sighed: "The days passed too fast."
It was early spring when she first came here. At that time, she had just gotten married to Cheng Xu.
Shanshan put a plush robe on her and said, "Is the girl worried?"
Xu Fengmi smiled. She pulled her robe and glanced out the window again, then walked to the soft couch and sat down: "There are no worries, only pretentious emotions."
"Girl." Jingzhe walked in: "Shuangjiang wants to see you."
Xu Fengmi said: "Let her go. Whether she leaves or stays depends on her. However, I don't really want to see her at this time."
After a while, it was said that Xu Fengya was here.
Xu Fengmi rubbed his eyebrows: "I don't want to see anyone."
Shanshan: "Did that slave refuse?"
Xu Fengmi put down her hand and tapped her fingertips. After a moment, she leaned back and said, "Let her come in."
There is a fire burning earth dragon in the house, there is also a charcoal pot, and the smell of delicious incense is everywhere, showing sophistication and wealth everywhere.
Xu Fengya lowered her eyes, suppressing the bitterness and unwillingness in her eyes, and said: "Eldest sister has just returned, I shouldn't bother you. But I really have no choice, so please save me."
After saying that, she knelt down on the ground with a plop, her brows furrowed and her eyes filled with tears.
Xu Fengmi was unmoved. She was holding a stove, wearing a plush blanket, her hair was neatly tied, and her face was calm: "I don't seem to have a decent relationship with my fourth sister, right? I thought about it, and I
There is only one or two disagreements, why should I save you?"
Xu Fengya was crying so hard that she took two steps forward, pulled the blanket covering Xu Fengmi's body, and said: "Eldest sister, I wanted to find you because I was really desperate."
Xu Fengmi lowered her eyes, gathered the blanket, and said calmly: "It's useless to look for me."
"Sister, you haven't heard what I have to say, are you going to refuse?" Xu Fengya looked desperate, and the brightness in her eyes was extinguished.
Xu Fengya left.
The cold wind was blowing outside, and the sky that was bright before suddenly turned dark.
Xu Fengmi drank a bowl of sour radish and duck soup stewed in the small kitchen to warm herself up.
After all, she still asked: "What happened to Xu Fengya?"
Xiaokui took a step forward and said: "Madam arranged a marriage for her, and tomorrow morning we will exchange wedding invitations. After the birthdays and horoscopes are matched, the marriage will be considered confirmed."
Xu Fengmi: "So, the marriage must not be a good one, right?"
Xiaokui had a complicated look on her face. After a while, she sighed and said, "It's not just bad, I've simply abused the fourth girl."
She quickly glanced at Xu Fengmi, stopped talking, and looked like she had said something wrong.
Xu Fengmi said lazily: "Xu Fengya and I don't get along very well, but we don't want to fight to the death. Let's continue talking."
"The family that Madam married for the fourth girl is from the east of the city. The man's first wife died, so he wanted to marry the fourth girl as a second wife. However, the man was born ugly, and he liked to beat women and children.
Second, he loves to flirt with women, which is third. Furthermore, the man's mother is not easy to get along with. It is said that the man's first wife was tortured to death by her mother-in-law."
After hearing this, Xu Fengmi frowned: "No matter how unpopular the Xu family is, no matter how low-ranking Xu Zhi is, Xu Fengya can't be reduced to this, right?"
Xiaokui shook her head: "Young lady, I don't know. Now that the sixth girl is engaged to the King of Zhennan, she needs a decent dowry. The fourth girl is willing to pay a high price for the marriage mentioned. In this case, how can the wife get it?"
What’s the reason for rejection?”
"It's ridiculous." Xu Fengmi lifted the blanket on her body, her face as cold as ice: "How high is the price? She was so stupid to be able to blindfold He Lanying. She didn't even think about it, King Jing, the brother-in-law of King Zhennan
Could she be a beast inferior to a pig or a dog? Does she want to make the Xu family miserable? Is she tired of living?"
"Even though Xu Fengya is a concubine, He Lanying's move is too much. Is she selling pigs and dogs? Xu Fengya can at least be married to a scholar with an innocent family background and a decent family background. Isn't this a trivial matter? It is a big deal for the Xu family!
"
She asked again: "Xu Zhi didn't respond? Did he agree?"
Xiaokui: "I don't usually interfere with the affairs of the inner house."
Xu Fengmi laughed angrily. She thought for a while and asked, "When will the Geng Tie be exchanged tomorrow?"
In the evening, after Xu Fengmi had dinner, he was ready to walk around to eat.
