Chapter 450 The Girls’ Marriage
Spring comes especially early in Beijing. By the time the Cold Food Festival arrives, the trees are already green and the ground is covered with yellow flowers.

It happened to be the Cold Food Festival, and people went hiking and worshipped Buddha in temples. This was a common custom in the capital, whether they were wealthy or ordinary people.

On this day, Qin Xiaoning got up at dawn. Li Lanchun had just given birth and could not go out. On such a holiday, dozens of people in the mansion had to go out. Although there were housekeepers to take care of things, Qin Xiaoning still had to keep an eye on many things personally to feel at ease.

The family was going to Guangyou Temple to worship Buddha, and then accompany the Duke's wife to stay in the villa on the top of the mountain.

This temple is a royal Zen temple, and only the dignitaries in Beijing can come here. When we reached the foot of the mountain, we saw luxurious carriages and luxury cars lined up in a winding line. The family got off the carriages one after another, and the masters were escorted by maids and servants and headed towards the temple on the top of the mountain.

The fifth lady, who had been following the second wife, squeezed over to Qin Xiaoning's side and said, "Second sister-in-law, this year the sixth sister is not at home for the festival. Do you feel like something is missing?"

Qin Xiaoning smiled and replied, "You two are the same age and grew up together. Now that you are suddenly separated, it is natural that you will feel uncomfortable. Not only you, but I miss her too."

The fifth girl sighed, "We have all grown up in the blink of an eye, and we will go our separate ways in the future. I am afraid we will never have the free and easy life we ​​had before."

After hearing this, Qin Xiaoning stopped and turned to look at the fifth girl.

The fifth girl smiled and said, "Why is Second Sister-in-law looking at me like that?"

Qin Xiaoning smiled and said, "There are so many people proposing marriage to you, do you really not like any of them?"

The fifth girl was shy by nature, and I thought she would be embarrassed, but after hearing this, she said frankly: "I really don't like anyone."

Seeing Qin Xiaoning remained silent, she glanced around and lowered her voice and said, "Second sister-in-law should know why I look down on others."

Qin Xiaoning nodded: "Do you really like the young marquis of the Du family?"

The fifth girl blushed but nodded.

Qin Xiaoning asked: "Do you want my help?"

While the two were talking, the people who came with them had already walked ahead of them one after another, leaving only the aunt and sister-in-law.

Qin Xiaoning and the Fifth Girl were not in a hurry either. They walked forward slowly, whispering to each other.

"Second sister-in-law, I trust you in this whole family." said the fifth girl.

Qin Xiaoning sighed, "You, me, and the sixth girl are all studying in the same private school. We are both family members and confidants. I know what you are thinking, but the person that the young marquis of the Du family likes is the sixth girl." She turned her head to look at the fifth girl and asked, "Don't you mind this?"

The fifth girl smiled faintly: "If you say that you don't mind at all, that would be a lie, but so what, the sixth sister is going to marry someone else, can Du Jingxuan stay single for her whole life?"

She paused, her eyes firm, "I believe that if I marry him, he will only have me in his heart and eyes from now on."

"It's a good thing that you have this confidence, but there is an element of gambling here. What if he treats you badly? Wouldn't that be a big loss?" Qin Xiaoning said.

The Fifth Lady did not respond to Qin Xiaoning's words, but said: "Second sister-in-law, I have always wanted to ask you something. You and Second Brother went through so many twists and turns before you finally achieved your goal. Did you have the confidence at that time?"

Qin Xiaoning said truthfully: "I didn't."

Glancing at the Fifth Miss's puzzled look, she explained, "I am different from you. You come from a noble family and have always been protected by someone, so you can afford to gamble, but I can't. So, before I became your second brother's wife, I had already made plans for myself." "Aren't you the Little Princess and the Fifth Miss? Why are you lagging behind?"

The two turned around when they heard the voice and saw that it was the old lady Bai from the Yongyi Marquis Mansion next door. Behind them was a large group of people, of course, Du Jingxuan was among them.

This is really the case of speaking of Cao Cao and he will appear.

When she saw Du Jingxuan, the fifth girl immediately looked shy and glanced at Qin Xiaoning secretly with a meaningful look in her eyes.

"Mother and Second Aunt walked fast. They must have already entered the temple by now. The two of us were chatting as we walked, so we left them behind." Qin Xiaoning said to Bai with a smile.

As they were talking, Mrs. Bai had already walked up and stopped in front of the two men. The maidservant beside her hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe her sweat. Mrs. Bai muttered, "I'm getting old, and my legs are really not as good as they used to be. I'm so tired after just a few steps."

The fifth girl beside him heard this and said, "Aunt, you are not old at all. I think you are in good spirits."

Bai looked at the Fifth Miss and said with a smile, "I haven't seen the Fifth Miss for a while. You look even prettier now."

Then, he exchanged pleasantries and asked, "I heard my third daughter complaining a few days ago that you haven't come to our house to play for a while."

The fifth girl smiled shyly and said, "I have been learning how to manage the household and accounts from my mother recently, so I am very busy."

Upon hearing this, Bai's smile deepened: "Fifth Miss is really capable."

"Thank you for your compliment, Auntie."

A few people were chatting and talking here. Du Jingxuan, who had stopped to the side to enjoy the scenery, came up and urged them, "Let's go quickly, otherwise there will be too many people in the temple and it will be even more crowded."

Qin Xiaoning smiled and joked, "How come you are so free today, young marquis? It's rare to see you in a place like this."

Bai glared at her son, then said to Qin Xiaoning, "He doesn't like to make fun of me at all. He was just forced to come here by me."

"Mother, how dare you say that." Du Jingxuan snorted upon hearing this. "You picked me up so early in the morning. Places like this have always been popular with women, but you insisted on asking me to join in the fun."

Bai glared at her son again, "You've been out all day, and today is a holiday, and I asked you to accompany me for a day, but you were so reluctant. When you have a daughter-in-law in the future, do you think I'm willing to let you accompany me?"

Then, he pointed at Qin Xiaoning and said, "Look, your second cousin has married such a good wife. With her being filial to her mother-in-law, your aunt will naturally not hold your cousin accountable."

"Here we go again, here we go again." Facing Bai's nagging, Du Jingxuan became annoyed: "I shouldn't have come out with you today."

"You kid!" Seeing her son like this, Bai couldn't help but feel annoyed: "You are so ignorant."

Seeing that the mother and son were somewhat unhappy, the fifth girl beside them took the opportunity to say, "Aunt, there is no need to be so anxious. My eldest cousin is a man of both literary and martial arts, and he is also a handsome man. Are you still worried about not being able to find a good wife?"

The Fifth Lady's words instantly eased the awkwardness between Bai's mother and son. Bai smiled and held the Fifth Lady's hand: "Look at this Fifth Lady, her little mouth is so sweet."

Qin Xiaoning could see that this time, Bai's praise was not just a casual greeting, but came from the heart.
