Ruan Ruan covered his mouth and snickered.

This Xu Wanjing is so stupid that she doesn't know that her mother is laughing at her.

When Mrs. Xu saw that Cheng Yurong liked Xu Wanjing so much, she thought she liked her little daughter. Could it be...

Does she want to find a wife for her son?
The second young master Shen was attracted by the Prime Minister's Palace, and the third young master Shen also had a fiancée, so the only one left was Shen Zhijie, who was of the right age.

He's not bad either. Although he doesn't have any great abilities and is neither literary nor material, at least he has a gentle temperament and is a perfect match for his overbearing and willful little daughter, so that her husband's family doesn't have to bully her.

The more Mrs. Xu thought about it, the happier she became.

unexpectedly……

Seeing that the time had come, Cheng Yurong said, "Miss Xu, why don't you see your eldest sister come out? She has something to do today and she has to be there."

"She? She has been hiding in the yard for several days. What are you doing with her?" Xu Wanjing blurted out. Realizing that she was rude, she immediately covered her mouth and walked to Mrs. Xu in small steps.

"My mother-in-law, what do you want from Rou'er?" The image of "breaking off the engagement" appeared in Mrs. Xu's mind, and the more she thought about it, the happier she became.

Seeing Prince Shen's family coming with gifts and matchmakers, looking very sincere, could it be that the engagement was really broken off?
Very good!
"If anything happens, call her over first." Cheng Yurong smiled mysteriously.

Mr. Xu was also stunned, what was the matter?
Mrs. Xu immediately sent someone to ask Xu Wanrou to meet the guests in the lobby.

Shen Zhiyuan was slightly nervous, worried that Xu Wanrou would be bullied these days.

Shen Zhiqing's brothers and sisters were calm and composed, drinking tea and tasting pastries.

Mrs. Xu and Cheng Yurong talked about how good Xu Wanjing's personality was, how good a female celebrity was, and how good her knowledge was.

One time, Xu Wanjing was asked to recite poems, and the other time, she was asked to spin around in a circle.

It's like selling a product, funny and intolerable.

After a while, Xu Wanrou came to the lobby with several maids.

"Prince Shen, Princess Shen, Mr. Shen, all the young gentlemen, and the little princess, I wish you all the best."

She walked to the lobby and saluted in front of Shen Hong and Cheng Yurong. Her movements were standard and natural, and her smile was polite and gentle, without any pretense.

"Come on, Rou'er, sit here with me." Cheng Yurong waved her hand for Xu Wanrou to sit in the empty seat next to her, not giving Mrs. Xu a chance to mess with her.

"Yes, Auntie."

The five brothers Shen Zhiyuan were all sitting on the chairs opposite.

Shen Hong hugged Ruan Ruan and looked at Master Xu.

"I brought my family and matchmaker here today because I want to discuss with Mr. Xu the marriage of our two children. The original plan a few years ago was to schedule it for August next year, but considering various factors, my wife and I both want to The wedding date has been moved forward to next month.”

"What? The wedding date has been brought forward?" Mrs. Xu was shocked, and the joy on her face disappeared instantly.

"Brother Shen, why do you want to advance the wedding date by a year? It's so sudden. I'm afraid I don't have enough preparation for what I need to get married." Mr. Xu was relatively calm, but his words were full of rejection.

"There is no need to worry about this. As long as you have money, you can buy anything. The wedding clothes of the two children were sewn last year, and there are six wedding quilts, phoenix crowns and jewelry. Other things are easy to buy.

There was only one pair of wild geese left, so I asked my youngest to take the oldest to the hunting ground to catch them. I thought half a month should be enough. "

Shen Hong's tone was particularly firm, and his attitude did not allow Mr. Xu to object.

"..." What else could he say? Everything is ready.

Mrs. Xu was anxious and winked at Mr. Xu, but he pretended not to notice. Xu Wanjing felt very uncomfortable when she heard that Prince Shen's Mansion was going to advance Xu Wanrou's wedding date by one year. "Sister, congratulations. I didn't expect you to leave home so soon. I can't bear to leave you."

She walked up to Xu Wanrou, held hands and acted coquettishly, performing a scene of sisterly affection.

Xu Wanrou smiled lightly but said nothing.

Mrs. Xu forced herself to smile and said: "In-laws, we still want to keep our eldest daughter at home. After all, she will be a member of Prince Shen's palace after getting married, and we can't see her every day...

Besides, she has two more sixteenth birthdays left, so I want to hold a haircut ceremony for her. "

"That's the truth. We are also parents and have daughters, so we understand your feelings very well. However, my eldest son misses Rou'er every day. He doesn't think about food and drinks. He has lost a lot of weight and has even regressed a lot in his studies.

As parents, how can we be willing to let our children suffer? Mrs. Xu, do you think so? "

Cheng Yurong threw the question back to Mrs. Xu, meaning that if Shen Zhiyuan deteriorated in his studies and lost his reputation, it would be the fault of Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xu.

Master Xu pursed his lips. Compared with his eldest daughter's marriage, Shen Zhiyuan's imperial examination was of course more important.

"How could it be? I saw Mr. Shen looking so good..." Mrs. Xu sneered.

Shen Hong assisted: "Mr. Xu, it's all your fault that my eldest son has failed to live up to his expectations. He didn't even take part in the imperial examination for a trivial matter like the love between a son and a daughter. He argued with me that he wanted to marry Miss Xu, or else he would become a monk."

"I was so angry at the time. Mr. Xu, do you think it will be difficult for me to be a father? I thought about it for a long time before I came to Mr. Xu shamelessly."

The implication is that if he does not agree to marry his eldest daughter and causes Shen Zhiyuan to give up the imperial examination and shave his head to become a family, then his daughter will be a disaster and her reputation will be ruined, and everyone in the Xu family will not be able to live well.

Of course Mr. Xu understood, but just because he understood, he did not dare to speak.

I can't refuse, and I don't want to agree.

At this time, the matchmaker comes on stage. No one in the world has a mouth as powerful as the matchmaker's. He can turn the dead into living beings, marry off ugly girls, and even marry poor people to wives.

"Mr. Xu, the two children are in love with each other. Now that they have reached their age, it is inevitable that they will have more love for each other. As elders, we are also experienced people. We can't beat the two children and embarrass the two children, right?"

"Let Mr. Shen get married as soon as possible, so that he can study with peace of mind and gain fame, and Mr. Xu can also benefit from it, right?
When outsiders see you, they will say that you are the father-in-law of a new scholar. Isn’t it wonderful? If it were me, I would wake up laughing every night. "

As the matchmaker drew the pie, Mr. Xu's gloomy face became more and more rosy.

It was a lifetime of pain for him not to become the number one scholar in a new subject.

Seven or eight years ago, he agreed to marry Shen Hong, and he was also the one who chose Shen Zhiyuan to become a scholar at the age of ten. He was the youngest scholar in Dai Viet and the most famous child prodigy in Dai Viet.

Mrs. Xu saw that Mr. Xu was moved and showed signs of relenting, and she became anxious. "Husband, Rou'er is still too young. I want to keep her for two more years..."

Come on, Mrs. Xu is deliberately going against the Shen family.

Shen Hong's face darkened and he said: "Since Mrs. Xu is like this, let's cancel the engagement today! So as not to embarrass Master Xu and make Mrs. Xu have to endure the pain of separation between mother and daughter."

After saying that, he stood up with Ruan Ruan in his arms.

The five brothers Shen Zhiyuan also stood up.

"Miss Xu, I have no connection with you... I'm sorry..." He looked at Xu Wanrou sadly.

"Master Shen...Father, mother...please agree...otherwise my daughter will not be able to stand on her knees."

Xu Wanrou rushed to Master Xu and suddenly knelt on the ground.

Everyone was stunned.
