Three Hundred and Twenty-Eight: 10 Miles of Red Makeup (1)

"Who are you talking about?"

Mr. Yuan Jing would rather admit that his ears are not working and he has hallucinations than to hear that name from his daughter again. ΔＷｗ Ｗ． 』LieWｅｎ． Ｃｃ

Wu Niang didn't understand the situation and repeated with a smile, "Liu Xi, isn't he your student? If he can be accepted by your father into Langya Academy, he must have no problem in major issues. As for his character, I think I need to observe him further..."

"She can't do it!" Mr. Yuan Jing denied it, and his firm attitude made Wu Niang puzzled.

She said that she liked Wei Ci before, and her father didn't show any opposition, but was happy to see it happen.

It's a pity that he already has a girl he likes in his heart, and Wu Niang doesn't bother to compete with others, so she chose to give up sadly.

Now it's Liu Xi, why did her father directly reject it?

"Liu Xi has already married?"

Wu Niang thought about Jiang Pengji's appearance and age, and felt that it was quite likely that the other party was engaged and married.

The current trend is for men to marry early. It is rare for Wei Ci to be single at the age of twenty-one.

If this is the case, Wu Niang cannot force it.

"No... it's just... your personalities are not suitable..." Mr. Yuan Jing, who is usually eloquent, is now speechless. He doesn't know how to explain to his daughter, "This Liu Xi is not a fish in the pond. His temperament is wild. Your father thinks you will be wronged."

Wu Niang is a filial daughter. She only has some good feelings for Jiang Pengji. Since her father is not satisfied, she doesn't want him.

Mr. Yuan Jing sighed and stroked his daughter's head.

On the one hand, he felt that his daughter was like him. His vision of choosing a man was beyond words. Whether it was Wei Ci or Liu Xi, they were indeed outstanding people. It was a pity that the former had someone in her heart and had a peculiar fate, and the latter... the gender was not suitable. He still wanted to have a grandson and granddaughter!

On the other hand, he felt it was a pity.

Mr. Yuan Jing smiled kindly and promised. "Father will find the best husband for you."

Wu Niang blushed with shame. After all, she was still an unmarried girl. She would definitely be shy when talking about her marriage.

"If I can't find the best one,

then I won't marry in the future and let you support me for the rest of my life." Wu Niang hugged Mr. Yuan Jing's arm and acted coquettishly, which made her look very cute and innocent. "When the time comes, I will be old at home. Don't dislike me, dad."

Mr. Yuan Jing breathed a sigh of relief. The matter could be solved in this way. It couldn't be better.

Although he could calculate the fate of others, he couldn't calculate the fate of those close to him.

He didn't know what his daughter's future would be.

The only thing he could do was to check carefully and find a real good husband for her.

Jiang Pengji had said goodbye to her friends a few days in advance, and Mr. Yuan Jing had also said hello.

With the fragrance of pear blossoms filling her sleeves, Jiang Pengji returned home in the orange afterglow. There were many vehicles parked in front of the door, filled with rare woods and furniture, clothes, cosmetics, and many deeds to good farmland that Jiang Pengji had found everywhere...

Not to mention the dowry prepared in Hejian, the dowry that Jiang Pengji got here alone was more than the value of an ordinary gentry daughter.

Many of the items she bought had been bought by Taxue, and she knew the value of these dowries best, and she felt a little unfair.

"What are you thinking about again? You are so arrogant, and you look like you can be jealous."

After washing up, Jiang Pengji changed into pajamas and put down her long hair that she had combed up during the day and put it behind her head.

Back in her bedroom, Taxue knelt down and tidied the mattress on the bed. Her expression was a little resentful, and her movements were also large.

This was very different from her usual self, and her reaction was a little strong, so Jiang Pengji asked casually.

Taxue sorted them out quickly, and when she glanced at the location where the book was placed, she became more and more angry.

"I have sorted out the dowry book and brought it to you for your review."

Jiang Pengji bowed to Taxue and said with a smile, "I don't know what Lanting did today to make you so upset?"

Taxue saw her playing tricks, and threw the corner of the quilt on the couch, saying unhappily, "You are so open-minded, but I am narrow-minded. This dowry is not so generous even for the legitimate daughters of ordinary noble families, let alone... let alone a concubine's daughter who has no close relationship with you. If it were someone else's family, they would empty the warehouse... What should you do in the future?"

In this era, legitimate daughters and concubine's daughters are two completely different concepts.

The Liu family gave such a generous dowry to a concubine's daughter, as if they were going to empty the warehouse. How would the legitimate son who would inherit the family business in the future feel? Of course, from another perspective, it can also reflect the tolerance and kindness of the Liu family, treating illegitimate children so well.

However, this kind of "good" is not something that everyone buys.

If it were an ordinary person, even if Taxue didn't have any thoughts in his heart, he would still feel a little unhappy when Taxue said this.

Jiang Pengji smiled indifferently, "When a illegitimate sister gets married, her dowry and her family are her support in her husband's family, not to mention marrying into the royal family, she can't be looked down upon. I am her brother after all, why should I bother with her about these things?"

Taxue sighed, "My husband is generous, but I'm afraid she may not appreciate it."

Although they have the same father, illegitimate children and legitimate children have opposite status, and rarely get along harmoniously.

Jiang Pengji smiled but didn't say anything, and Taxue didn't continue to hold on to this topic.

She lifted the quilt and was about to lie down, saying, "We will be on the road tomorrow, you should have a good night's sleep and get enough energy, so you don't have to keep watch today."

Taxue smiled and agreed, and still spread the mattress in the outer room.

Jiang Pengji could only sigh when she heard the noise outside.

That night, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse.

Mr. Yuan Jing did not fall asleep until midnight. He tossed and turned, and woke up his wife instead.

"What happened to you tonight?"

He tossed and turned, making a fuss like making pancakes.

"Did I disturb you by moving too much?" Mr. Yuan Jing looked at his wife who got up with a cloak on her shoulders, and said apologetically, "You continue to sleep, I will get up and stay in the study for one night... I am restless tonight and can't sleep at all..."

"You are the one who thinks too much..." The wife went back to sleep and muttered vaguely.

Mr. Yuan Jing carefully lifted the quilt, put on the cloak, and left the bedroom quietly.

The moonlight outside was strong. He took a look, lowered his head and calculated, and frowned secretly.

He didn't feel sleepy until the sky was dawning, but sat in the study all night.

There was another person who suffered from insomnia like him.

It was just dawn, the city gate was wide open, and a team of cars quietly drove out of the city gate.

Jiang Pengji rode a big white horse in front of the team, followed by more than 20 cars full of various dowry items. More than a hundred guards stood on both sides of the team, holding the big swords on their waists tightly, guarding against the movement on both sides of the road, fearing that they would encounter bandits or mobs who blocked the road to rob.

Wei Ci stood at the Shili Pavilion with a cloak on his shoulders, looking at Jiang Pengji's back from afar, and sighed.

He knew very well that this person might not come back after leaving.
