Chapter 1257 Getting Married

Chapter 1257 Getting Married

"We have been rushing for three days without much rest. I told Master and Uncle to have a good rest today. My senior brother will bring them here tomorrow."

"I'll go to the Yin Mansion to see them tomorrow, and then come back with them." Rong Jingjing couldn't wait any longer.

"That's fine."

Ma Xiaoliu suddenly thought of something. After thinking about it, he came to Lu Zhaoling.

"Miss, I have something to say, can I tell you now?"

Lu Zhaoling looked at him and said, "Go ahead."

"Miss, do you still remember Dai Xu, the Dai Shizi?"

"remember."

Rong Jingjing said at the side, "This Dai Shizi is really grateful. Didn't Xiaoliu save him in Lishan before?"

During the time in Lishan, Dai Xu followed Sheng Wang without caring about his own life. Sheng Wang was building an altar on the mountain, and he followed them. He almost died and was sacrificed there.

Fortunately, Ma Xiaoliu was with them at the time and was able to come back for help.

"Since that time, Dai Xu has given Xiao Liu gifts from time to time, even during festivals."

Lu Zhaoling was quite surprised, "Dai Xu is so smart?"

Ma Xiaoliu said a little embarrassedly, "When Prince Dai sees me outside, he will tell his friends that this is my brother, Xiaoliu. I really can't stand it."

However, he still has a high status in the surrounding area. Even the servants and guards of other people's houses call him "Little Sixth Brother" when they see him, even those who are older than him.

As a result, Ma Xiaoliu usually doesn't go out, for fear of being too high-profile.

"What happened to Prince Dai?"

"Prince Dai has been discussing marriage recently." Ma Xiaoliu said, "It seemed that everything was fine at the beginning. Prince Dai even told me that when he gets married, he wants me to attend the wedding."

Lu Zhaoling felt like laughing.

Dai Xu is a very funny person sometimes.

He, a son of a marquis, got married and personally invited a servant. Of course, Lu Zhaoling liked such people, but in this era, in such a hierarchical capital, Dai Xu's behavior would probably shock many people if it was spread out.

"Whose daughter is Dai Xu going to marry?" Lu Zhaoling asked.

Ma Xiaoliu said, "She is the second daughter of the Pingyang Marquis's mansion. I heard that Madam Dai and Madam Pingyang Marquis's wife were close friends in the past, so they know each other very well."

Lu Zhaoling thought about it and gave up, "I haven't heard of it, I don't know it."

She probably hasn't seen it either.

"Miss, you have never met the second young lady, because she was in Huaixi before and only returned to the capital last year."

Ma Xiaoliu added, "Prince Dai said that they played together when they were young, but they never saw each other again after the young lady went to Huaixi. Now that both of them have grown up, he went to see the young lady secretly after he knew he was going to marry her."

This gossip...

Lu Zhaoling asked curiously, "Have you seen Zi?"

"I saw her. Prince Dai said she was very pretty and that was the look he liked. So he never blocked the marriage."

Ma Xiaoliu hesitated for a moment and said, "This marriage is a done deal, and the wedding day is in three days."

Lu Zhaoling waited for him to continue, because usually when someone said this, there would be problems later.

As expected, Ma Xiaoliu continued, "Just this morning, I saw Dai Shizi, but unlike his cheerful appearance a few days ago, Dai Shizi looked very haggard, and he was listless when he saw me."

"He also told me that he wanted to cancel the engagement. But when he told the Marquis and his wife, the Marquis almost beat him to death."

Rong Jingjing was also a little curious, "Why do you suddenly want to cancel the engagement?"

"I asked him, but Master Dai seemed to be at a loss for words. He just said one thing," Ma Xiaoliu said, "He said he didn't dare to marry the second daughter of the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion. He felt scared just by looking at her."

"You've seen it before and you're not scared?"

"Yes." Ma Xiaoliu said, "Prince Dai also asked me when the young lady would be back. If you return to Beijing, please tell me right away."

Ma Xiaoliu came to tell Lu Zhaoling about this, but he didn't know whether he could go and tell Master Dai that she was back.

Lu Zhaoling looked at Rong Jingjing, "Second Junior Sister, have you met the Second Miss of the Earl of Pingyang?"

"No."

Jiang Yongmiao next to her suddenly said, "Sister Rong, we actually met her yesterday."

"what?"

Rong Jingjing and Lu Zhaoling both looked at her.

Jiang Yongmiao said, "But Sister Rong was looking at spices at the time. We were looking at spices sold by an aunt at a stall outside the spice shop, but the young lady from the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion was in the spice shop at the time."

"She brought two maids with her, and it seemed like she bought a lot. The two maids were carrying large and small bags. The shopkeeper saw her out, and after she left, he turned around and said to his wife, saying that this young lady from the Pingyang Marquis's mansion was really humble. She was about to get married, but she still came out to buy things in person."

Jiang Yongmiao added, "I thought it was a little strange at the time, why would a married couple go out to buy spices, so I took a second look."

"I was concentrating on selecting spices at that time," said Rong Jingjing.

So she didn't even notice.

Lu Zhaoling asked Jiang Yongmiao, "Have you seen the second young lady?"

"After taking a look, I found that the lady had a slender figure and beautiful facial features..." Jiang Yongmiao hesitated for a moment. She was thinking of a more suitable adjective. Otherwise, it would seem inappropriate to just say it based on her current impression.

However, before she could come up with an idea, Lu Zhaoling understood what she meant, "Just tell me directly. Tell me your intuitive impression. We won't spread it."

Jiang Yongmiao probably felt that the word that just came into her mind was not very good.

"I just think that young lady is a bit charming."

Jiang Yongmiao lowered the tone of the word "charming" and felt quite uncomfortable after saying it, as if she had made a malicious comment about a girl.

Lu Zhaoling and Rong Jingjing looked at each other.

"Charming and charming?"

"Uh-huh."

Lu Zhaoling and Rong Jingjing came from modern times, and they didn't think this was a bad comment.

What if it is seductive? In modern times, this is even considered a high evaluation of a beautiful woman. It depends on personal opinion.

But they could see that when this word came out of Jiang Yongmiao's mouth, it was not a very positive description.

"I'm sorry." Jiang Yongmiao bowed her head and apologized.

"It's okay. We won't tell anyone." Lu Zhaoling patted her hands. "Xiao Liu must not tell anyone either."

"Little understands."

"The wedding is in three days, but Prince Dai still wants to go back on his word. I don't know if he has premarital phobia." Rong Jingjing said to Lu Zhaoling.

"Xiao Liu, you can tell him that I'm back in Beijing," Lu Zhaoling knew that Ma Xiao Liu was waiting for this, so she told him, "But you also have to tell him that I'm very busy. If he doesn't find anything else and is just suddenly afraid of getting married, let him think about it and don't bother me."

Ma Xiaoliu nodded, "I understand."

That night, Mo Qi was at the Yin Mansion and he prepared a table of delicious food.

After dinner, Yin Changxing and Weng Songzhi went to rest.

Mo Qi eagerly brought all the Beijing news from the past year and a half to Yin Yunting to read.

These are all his achievements.

He was left alone in the capital to run the Wuming Bookstore, but he did not slack off at all.
