Chapter 122 - 122-Worried
On the Xiao Family’s side, the people were in a mess. Madam Xie and Madam Xiao were in a terrible state, and the fire in their hearts burned to the top of their heads. No one thought that the Second Lady would be so bold and publicly play the missing person.
“Go to Scholarflower Alley and search for General Yang Shao.”Xiao Baoxin reminded softly.
Madam Xiao was flabbergasted, unable to believe it.
“Hurry up and go!” Madam Xie trusted her daughter and quickly ordered two guards to go to Scholarflower Alley.
“No, no, no. It can’t be, right?” Madam Xiao felt that her worldview had been greatly challenged.
Could it be that there was such a huge gap between their ages?
In the past, no matter how young they were in love, they would at most steal a few glances at the young man they liked. If they were bolder, they would give small things like purses and flowers. Even if they were found out, they would be scolded as licentious. Why was it that the Second Lady, who usually did not look listless and was gentle and demure, actually found someone to throw herself into his arms? Today, she had abandoned so many people, shook off the ears and ears around her, and personally ran to Sophocles Flower Alley to send herself to his door?
“Who was with Second Lady today? Where did he go?!”
Without waiting for Madam Xiao to flare up, Granny Liu, who was beside Madam Xie, rushed into the house.
“Furen, the Yang Family’s Furen Liu has come and asked about our Second Lady.”
Mrs. Xie was in a daze. She had been praying to Buddha and going on a blind date, but Xiao Jing ‘ai had ruined it.
Madam Xiao was to blame for this. The two sisters-in-law had already decided to come to worship Buddha and burn incense on the first day of August to resolve the disaster for the Xiao family. Who knew that while the main branch was cold, someone from the second branch went to propose marriage.
A hundred years ago, the Yang family could be considered a famous and prosperous family. Unfortunately, when Taizu ascended the throne, the aristocratic families who had crossed the river to the south were put in an important position. Those who had defected to Daliang were not welcomed by the royal family and the other aristocratic families. They gradually became a third-class or fourth-class aristocratic family.
The Yang family was in such a situation. They had a deep foundation, but they were only called shabby. They could only aim for the military and make contributions.
The Yang family’s visit to ask for marriage could be said to have satisfied Madam Xiao.
Recently, Xiao Jing ‘ai had gone overboard. Even Second Master Xiao could not stand it. He asked Madam Xiao to marry Xiao Jing’ ai off as soon as possible so that she would not have to make any more trouble. At that time, it would be difficult to find a husband.
If a girl’s reputation was not good, it could be salvaged. If her reputation was in trouble, it would be really difficult to marry. No one was willing to marry a wild horse and raise a head on the prairie.
The Yang family still had their own traditions. Epsilon had three generals in a single dynasty, so he was considered to have some real talent.
Madam Xiao felt that it was a waste of talent to look at the Yang family with Second Lady Xiao… However, she had taken a fancy to Xiao Jing ‘ai’s title as the county head of Xingping County, which was a good match for her family. Furthermore, Madam Xiao had her own set of logic. Yang Shao, whom Xiao Jing’ ai liked, was extremely skilled in martial arts. The young general of the Yang family who had proposed marriage was sixteen years old. He had followed his family to the battlefield when he was twelve or thirteen years old. The title of general was truly earned by himself.
Yang Shao and Little General Yang were both of the same level, so they were better than those silkpants from aristocratic families.
After breaking off the marriage once, although they had the support of the royal family, it was still difficult to enter the aristocratic family. The Yang family could be said to be the best choice.
The Yang family’s intention was for the children of the two families to meet first. If they did not reject each other so much, they would directly settle down. It was just the right time for the abbot of Waguan Temple to approve the eight characters to see if they were compatible.
When Madam Xiao heard this, she set it to the first day of August, squeezing it together with the day they had originally set to burn incense and worship Buddha.
In the end, Xiao Jing ‘ai actually sneaked away while she was in the toilet!
If this were to spread, how could they still be a man?
Do you still want your reputation?
” Madam,” Mrs. Liu reminded her. She was still waiting outside. She couldn’t just send her away without seeing her face, right? “Lady Liu?”
Madam Xie scratched her head. What could she do? Even if she didn’t get married, she couldn’t make enemies. She could only pull Madam Xiao to welcome the guests. She only knew that Xiao Jing ‘ai had wanted to come over, but she didn’t have a clean breakfast and had a stomachache, so she didn’t rush over.
Although Madam Xiao had agreed to meet her again, Madam Liu’s face was already ugly. Clearly, she did not believe the Xiao family’s words.
However, because Xiao Yun was the superior of his general, she did not turn hostile on the spot.
“Girls should be more delicate, unlike my kid who has been fighting since he was young. He has been on the battlefield and is very tough.”
Madam Xiao smiled awkwardly. She was not good at lying. Who could save her?
“Yes, yes. Second Lady…She was indeed delicate…But even if it’s not for the children to see, we should also walk around more.”
“I heard that Waguan Temple’s vegetarian dishes are very famous. Last month, they added a new dish, Jadeite Tofu. I wonder if Furen has tried it. My mother has been thinking of inviting Furen to taste it since she came to Waguan Temple a few days ago.”Xiao Baoxin beat round field, Xiao madam is not good at words, into not pro-still really not must become enemies.
Xiao Jing ‘ai had already run away. She couldn’t just pretend that the Yang family didn’t exist and send them away with a few simple words. At least they had a meal together and then talked about it. If they didn’t want to, at least they had done their part. It was the Xiao family’s fault.
However, to be honest, she really felt that Little General Yang and Xiao Jing ‘ai were a waste.
Most people would be blind if they were paired with Xiao Jing ‘ai.
Xiao Jing ‘ai was a person who missed Yang Shao so much that he wanted to fight for the right position and be the mother of a country. Such a person would not stop no matter who he was with.
Because in her eyes, other than Yang Shao, all mortals were ants. They were not worthy of her, not worthy of her.
Madam Xie saw that her daughter’s words were indeed reasonable. It was not a matter of time to find someone. Moreover, it was the servants who went out to look for her. No matter how urgent it was, there was no need for them to come forward. She could rest assured and entertain Madam Liu.
Lady Liu saw that the mistress of the Xiao family was brimming with enthusiasm, and the unhappiness in her heart dissipated. She immediately nodded and stayed behind to share lunch. She couldn’t help but praise Xiao Baoxin for his magnanimity and charm.
Madam Xie loved to hear this. The two of them hit it off with Madam Liu and chatted enthusiastically.
Mrs. Xiao wasn’t the least bit unhappy that Xiao Jing ‘ai had taken over her role. She hoped that no one would find out that Xiao Jing’ ai had not come, but had run away.
This was too embarrassing. A young lady openly resisting her stepmother was a slap to her face.
Her face was burning hot. She was angry and embarrassed. She was waiting to go home and have a good talk with Second Brother Xiao. His daughter was talented. She was already so ambitious at such a young age. If he continued to indulge like this, he was afraid that his reputation would be ruined. He could afford to lose this person, but she couldn’t.
Madam Xiao’s head hurt. Her Miao Rong was suffering. One or two sisters were all worrying. As long as Miao Rong was not married, her heart would jump like fifteen rabbits every day…
However, on second thought, even if they were married off, the Xiao sisters ‘reputation would be ruined, and her Miao Rong’s life would still be difficult.
The more he thought about it, the more sorrowful he felt..
