The convoy to Dongjiang was ready to set off, but the maids could not find the third lady.
Xu Huan was puzzled: "This girl, she had to personally deal with everything before and was worried about other people's problems. Why did she end up falling out of her own way?"
Xu Si thought for a moment and said, "I'll go back and take a look."
She turned back to Qushui Pavilion, and sure enough, she found Xu Yin beside the bamboo forest in front.
"Ayin!"
Hearing the voice, Xu Yin turned around and looked over: "Sister? Why are you here? We are leaving soon, so don't delay your trip."
Xu Si scolded: "You are still talking about me, isn't it because you delayed your trip?"
Xu Yin was startled for a moment, then turned to look at the sky and asked the maid: "What time is it?"
Xia Zhi on the side replied: "Chen is right."
Xu Yin said "Ah" and was extremely embarrassed: "So, you are here to find me?"
"Yes! When we were about to set off, the maids couldn't find anyone. I thought you always like to stay here alone when you have something on your mind, so I came to take a look."
Xu Yin apologized: "I forgot the time and worried my sister. I have nothing to do, so let's go now!"
With that said, she took the lead and walked out.
"Hey!" Xu Sisi asked a few questions about the situation, but she didn't give him a chance at all, so she could only shake her head and follow him out of the bamboo forest.
The two sisters returned to the front hall. Facing their father's concerned eyes, Xu Yin smiled and replied: "I feel a little reluctant to leave suddenly."
Xu Huan had no doubt that he had it, nodded and said with a smile: "It's so rare, I thought you couldn't wait to play with it!"
Xu Si also said: "No, I was more active in collecting luggage before."
The father and daughter chatted and joked for a while before reporting over there and getting ready to board the car and set off.
Xu Huan looked at his two beautiful daughters, feeling reluctant in his heart, and wondered: "Why did my father agree to let you two go together?"
Two teenage girls, with no elders to guide them, what should they do if something happens on the road? Ever since the third girl suddenly became sensible, I have been particularly confident in her, which is really baffling.
Xu Yin comforted his father: "Don't worry, we have brought so many guards! After leaving Nanyuan, we will enter the Dongjiang boundary immediately. Everything will be fine."
Xu Huan nodded. That's right. Nanyuan is connected to Dongjiang. This road used to be relatively peaceful. There really was a bandit bully, and his guards were not vegetarians.
On the other side, the second master’s family also came to see off their son.
The eldest son, Xu Ze, was very excited when he went away for the first time. No matter what his parents said, he agreed wholeheartedly. I don't know whether he listened to it or not.
Seeing Xu Huan, he hurriedly came over to greet him: "Uncle!"
Xu Ze is seventeen this year. Standing next to his father, his stature is almost the same.
Seeing that his nephew looked like an adult, Xu Huan smiled and nodded, and said warmly: "Aze, I'll leave the two sisters to you. Please take care of yourself along the way."
Xu Ze responded loudly: "Don't worry, uncle, I will take good care of my two sisters."
The second master smiled and agreed: "Aze has always been obedient, brother, don't worry."
This was the first time his son was traveling away from home. In fact, he was worried about it, but his eldest brother was willing to entrust him with an important task. How could he not refuse?
Speaking of which, there is only one male of this generation in the Xu family. He had also had delusions about whether his elder brother would cultivate his son and ask him to inherit the family business. But this son's temperament followed him, and he was too gentle and honest. Over time,
He also stopped thinking.
Now that the eldest brother is willing to give him a chance, he gets what he wants. Even if he can't inherit the family business, it's not bad to let his son see more of the world and develop his courage, so that he can have a good future!
After some reluctance, the sisters got on the cart, Xu Ze also got on the horse, and finally said goodbye to their relatives, and the convoy set off.
Sitting in the car, Xu Yin looked back and saw that the governor's mansion was gradually fading away. It was similar but different from the scene in his memory.
It was the same situation when I left Nanyuan with my sister in my previous life, but I didn't feel like this without my father to see me off.
Seeing her father waving, she smiled and waved in response.
It's different, completely different. This time, my sister is not a gift, so I don't have to humble myself to please those people. She is a distinguished guest of the Dongjiang Palace, and the other party can only sincerely propose marriage.
Destiny is different.
…
Amidst the sound of wheels rolling, Xu Yin heard her sister ask: "Are you worried?"
She turned her head and raised her eyebrows in surprise: "No! Why does sister ask that?"
Xu Si nodded at her and smiled angrily: "You still want to hide it from me? You are always punctual and you are about to go out. How could you forget the time? What is it that makes you so obsessed with it?"
Xu Yin was speechless.
She just remembered the promise Yan Ling made to her when he returned.
As soon as the message from King Dongjiang was sent, she knew that his matter could not be done. Her father would definitely agree and let her sister go to see him. In this way, would the Zhaoguo Guild think that the Xu family was forming an alliance with Dongjiang?
The matter involves a covenant, and Duke Zhao will definitely be very cautious about this marriage and will not agree easily.
But she couldn't object. Not to mention the serious consequences of rejecting King Dongjiang, she didn't want her sister to lose a possible good marriage because of herself.
In her last life, my sister paid so much for her!
"Do you think of Mr. Yan?" Xu Si's teasing voice came to his ears.
Although my sister is smart, she is not keen on power disputes. She is not aware of this yet, right?
Xu Yin smiled and replied in a relaxed tone: "So what?"
Xu Si was surprised: "You actually admitted it?"
Xu Yin pressed the sleeve arrow under his clothes and turned his head as if embarrassed.
When Xu Si saw that there was a problem, he grabbed her and asked: "What's going on? I wanted to ask you that day, what did the Second Young Master Yan say to you?"
"He didn't say anything." Xu Yin replied with a smile, "He just told me not to be in a hurry to get engaged."
"You haven't said anything yet?" Xu Si shouted, pulling her and asking repeatedly, "Then did you agree? How did you respond to him? Ayin, tell the truth, do you like Young Master Yan? Don't be shy.
, this is a life-long event, you see, before my father chose Fang Yi, I didn’t even ask, so it turned out like this... So you answer honestly, we have to make it clear."
Xu Yin looked at her sister in surprise. It turned out that Fang Yi's incident had touched her sister so much. So she felt more at ease when she went to Dongjiang this time. Her sister would definitely look at each other well, and would not miss out on happiness, nor would she jump into a pit of fire.
of.
She spoke carefully about what happened that day: "...I didn't promise anything. I just asked him to go home and tell him whether it works or not."
Xu Si thought for a while and said, "You are right to respond this way. If he is reliable, he will naturally convince his parents. If he is not good, you don't have to worry about it."
Xu Yin smiled and nodded.
Xu Si sighed: "Looking at you like this, my sister will feel relieved when she gets married. In the future, with you at home, my father will not be unaccompanied."
Xu Yin said yes in her heart. The sisters will all be happy.
