Chapter 61: Fu Er and Fu Liu

On top of the embroidered building.

Fu Er Niang leaned against the wooden pillar by the window, quietly watching everything in the courtyard.

She had her hair in a bun, but a strand of hair hung down by her ear. The pearl on the jade hairpin in her hair swayed slightly as she shook her head.

Fu Erniang raised her hand to tuck her loose hair behind her ears, revealing her light blue waisted skirt beneath her plain white wide sleeves, with bamboo leaf patterns embroidered with silver thread faintly visible.

Her face was extremely beautiful, her skin as rosy as a freshly peeled lotus seed, her eyebrows as dark as distant mountains, and her almond-shaped eyes, which should have been soft and gentle, were covered with a thin frost.

Her rouge-colored lips were pursed flatly, as if all the thoughts she wanted to say but couldn't were locked in the dimples on her lips.

She was unconsciously fiddling with the mutton-fat jade pendant adorned with the brocade belt around her waist, her green fingertips contrasting with the cold, silver brilliance of the jade.

Suddenly, a draft blew through the hall, and the moon-white shawl rose up like a cloud breaking free from its restraints, revealing the gold-embroidered shoes under the skirt.

Fu Erniang lowered her head to adjust the hem of her skirt. The pearls hanging from her hairpin brushed across her neck, and the coolness caused her snow-white skin to tremble slightly.

Just like her fingertips trembling slightly in the candlelight a few days ago when she heard her father talk about choosing a son-in-law.

Thinking of this, Fu Erniang sighed in her heart.

It is said that young girls are always thinking about love, and she is no exception... However, now she is twenty-three years old and has become an old maid who has never married.

The relatives and servants in the mansion didn't say anything, but those gossipy people outside didn't know what kind of things they said about her.

Those people probably thought that the second wife of the Fu family was either extremely ugly or born with a disability, blind or deaf.

Otherwise, how could she still not get married at such an old age?
"Sister, sister, I'm coming, I'm coming."

The sound arrives before the person arrives, as clear as the song of an oriole.

In a blink of an eye, a girl of about thirteen or fourteen came up excitedly from the corner of the stairs.

Probably because she had run all the way here in a hurry, the girl was panting while speaking, with beads of sweat oozing from the tip of her nose and her hair a little messy.

Fu Erniang took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat off Xiaoniang's face, teasing her, "Sixth sister, you're almost getting married, but you're still as unstable as a child. Which in-law would dare to marry you in the future?"

"Then I won't get married in the future, and I'll always be with you, sister."

Fu Liumei is still young, but she is a beauty and has already begun to show a hint of beauty.

As she laughed, she showed a row of neat and white teeth, and her double buns swayed slowly, making her look more cute and lovely.

"You're such a good Sixth Sister, you're cursing your elder sister that I can't get married, right?"

Fu Er grabbed Fu Liu's ears, and the two sisters immediately started playing around.

After a long while, Fu Erniang finally remembered and asked, "Sixth sister, what did you just say?"

Fu Liumei took the opportunity to avoid her second sister's tickling hand and panted, "Ranger...Ranger is here...It's the ranger you're looking for, sister."

"I was picking flowers in the back garden just now when I saw Xian'er lead two people in through the back door."

The Xian'er she mentioned was Fu Erniang's personal maid.

Fu Liumei continued, "I thought, didn't my elder sister ask Hu Er to find a ranger? I guessed these two were sent by Hu Er, so I took a shortcut and ran over to tell you..."

Ranger... Fu Erniang was stunned.

Then she realized that she had forgotten about it.

But he didn't expect that Hu Erzhen would call people over just because of his casual angry words.

Fu Erniang frowned slightly, feeling a little hesitant.

A few days ago, my father suddenly brought up the matter of choosing a son-in-law at a family dinner.

Although he didn't explicitly say who he was choosing a son-in-law for, from what his father said, who else could he choose if not for himself?
Besides, my sixth sister is still young and hasn't reached marriage age yet, so there's no need to rush about this matter.

In fact, if it were a few years earlier, when Fu Er Niang heard that her father was going to choose a son-in-law for her, she might have had some anticipation.

But after waiting to be married for so many years, Fu Erniang's mind gradually changed.

Before marriage, her fate is decided by her father, and after marriage, her fate is decided by her husband.

Are women born to be manipulated by others?
Perhaps it was due to the resentment accumulated in her heart over the years that made Fu Erniang reluctant to get married.

Besides, after years of seeing warriors around her father, Fu Erniang had a rather crude and vulgar impression of men. In contrast, she was more fond of gentle and refined scholars.

Of course, it only looks slightly better. Fu Erniang thinks that scholars are too weak.

In this chaotic world, there is no man who is both heroic and knowledgeable... Fu Erniang has never seen one.

Even her father, Prince of Wei, Fu Yanqing, was a few points behind... Her father was good at fighting and read a lot, but he lacked the talent in his every move.

Shaking her head, Fu Erniang sighed again.

Hu Er was the nephew of Hu Guanshi, the manager of the family. He often hung out on the streets and knew many people from all walks of life.

Fu Erniang realized that her father wanted to choose a son-in-law for her, but when she thought about how she had been trapped in the mansion for so many years and how she had become old and ugly, she realized that her father wanted to choose a son-in-law for her.

She became resentful and had some willful thoughts.

Fu Erniang then sent someone to tell Hu Er to find two capable knights-errant.

I had originally thought that when my father was choosing a son-in-law for me, he would impose a martial arts competition on those who wanted to choose a husband for me. I would only marry the one who could beat the ranger I found.

But at this moment, Fu Erniang's thoughts on this matter suddenly faded.

Anyway, no matter how she acts, it is her father who decides who she marries.

Why make everyone uncomfortable?
At this moment, Fu Liu exclaimed, "The Ranger is coming, the Ranger is coming!"

Fu Erniang looked over subconsciously and saw her personal maid Xian'er leading two tall men into the courtyard through the archway of the courtyard.

The size of the man in front surprised Fu Er Niang.

Although I couldn't see his appearance clearly from a distance, I could tell from his physique and the aura he exuded when he walked.

I think he is also a top-notch player in the world.

"Second Madam, someone is coming."

The maid Xian'er went upstairs panting.

Fu Erniang nodded slightly and said, "Go and ask them what skills they have. If they are just some scoundrels filling in the numbers, just have them beaten out with sticks."

After receiving the order, the maid Xian'er ran downstairs immediately.

Soon, Xian'er went upstairs again: "Second Madam, the leading man said he can ride a horse and shoot arrows."

"Mounted shooting?"

Fu Erniang was inevitably surprised, but then she thought, there were wars everywhere these days, and many military leaders' troops had been defeated throughout the dynasties.

These two rangers probably belong to this category.

However, since he came from a military background and was confident in his riding and shooting skills, it showed that he was quite capable.

Even if I don't have the willful mindset now, I can still recommend such talents to my father.

At this moment, a gust of wind blew by, and the curtain beside the window was slightly lifted. Fu Er Niang seemed to see the tall man looking over here a few times.

Although the distance was quite far, Fu Er Niang vaguely felt that the man's gaze seemed extremely aggressive, and he was looking at this side unscrupulously.

But in a flash, the man's sight was blocked by the curtain.

Fu Erniang frowned slightly... Maybe it was just her illusion.

Then, she said to her maid Xian'er, "Go tell those two that if you really have the ability, you will certainly receive their reward."

"Yes."

The maid Xian'er then went downstairs again.

　I managed to write another chapter using my mobile phone in the hospital. I modified the previous chapter a little. If you have read it, please take a look at it again.

　　But when I read the comments, a lot of people think I'm going to run away... I just mean that some troubles have come to my door, affecting my status. I will definitely not be able to keep up with the updates, but it won't be a complete break...

　　Finally, thank you all readers for your support!

　　Kneel down and thank you!
