Rank One Princess Douxian Wang: Phoenix Palace Brocade

Chapter 327 I Can't Find Him

"Master Dai is also in a dilemma. If we wait for him to come back to propose marriage, including the preparations for the wedding ceremony and the ceremonies in between, it will take a year. You see..." Pang Tai hesitated to speak.

Xu Jiaqing's wedding date was set quickly because the Yang family was in a hurry, and Xu Xiaoxian also wanted to strike while the iron was hot, wishing he could get off the job one day and get married the next day, so the wedding ceremony was shortened, and the wedding date was set directly before the New Year's Eve.The euphemistic name is to marry a daughter-in-law to celebrate the new year.

But according to the general schedule in Datong, even if there is no delay at all, it will take a year, and if you wait for Dai Yuanguan to return from the South China Sea, if it takes a year and a half, it will be impossible to count. It will take almost two years of work.

Xu Jiatong is almost seventeen, and after two years, she will be nineteen. She is an old lady in Datong.If she was asked to wait until Dai Yuanguan came back to get engaged, he would be not thinking of her and not paying attention to her.

Xu Jiatong thought about it paradoxically, and he also felt that this was the case, but since he was thinking about her and wanted to make himself look good, shouldn't he at least give her a letter and tell her his plan?
"Can you show me Master Dai's letter?" Xu Jiatong smiled.

"Jiatong, Master Dai, this is for your own good. You are a girl who has not left the court, so don't ask too many questions about these things." Xu Xiaozu's complexion darkened, and there was some warning in his tone.

"Director Pang, I want to read Master Dai's letter." Xu Jiatong glanced at Xu Xiaozu, she didn't feel that she should entrust her future to someone like him.

Xu Xiaozu is not a good husband, let alone a good father, she really doesn't believe in Xu Xiaozu's vision and determination.

Pang Tai nodded, smiled courteously and said, "This is Master Dai's handwritten letter, please look it over, Fourth Miss."

"Thank you." Xu Jiatong took it and looked at it.

Xu Jiatong is good at weaving and embroidery, and her eyesight is also good, she can see the subtle differences in everything.She carefully looked at the letter in her hand, from the words and sentences to the strokes and fonts, to the distance between words... She examined every detail, but did not notice anything unusual.

"Okay, return the original." Xu Jiatong didn't return the letter paper until there was nothing to look at, and the doubts in his heart were relieved.

"Fourth Miss, I believe you have read it too. Would you like this marriage?" Pang Tai asked with a smile.

"Don't ask her what she means. Marriage matters, parents' order, matchmaker's words, my father's promise, she has nothing to say." Xu Xiaozu's old face was beaming with joy, suddenly thought of something, and said hastily, " Her mother is definitely willing, Manager Pang, Master Dai is not in Xidu, let's talk about how to calculate the dowry and how to prepare Jiatong's dowry."

The dowry must always match the betrothal gift. If the betrothal gift is [-] sets, the woman's dowry must be around [-] sets so as not to lose face.It is normal to ask these questions when discussing marriage.

But no one knew better than Xu Jiatong what kind of person Xu Xiaozu was. He obviously wanted a betrothal gift. Even if her dowry looked similar to the betrothal gift, it was only on the surface, and it was absolutely impossible to be equal on the inside.

"Master Dai has already arranged this. This is the dowry list. Please have a look." Pang Tai respectfully presented it.

The more Xu Xiaozu looked, the brighter his eyes became, he was almost shining. In addition to gold, silver and jade, there are thousands of acres of fertile land, ten best shops in Xidu and ten best shops in Kunshan, and even an antique shop and a bank. ...

"This...Master Dai is too polite, Manager Pang, please tell Master Dai, this matter is settled like this, the follow-up ceremonial schedule, Ding'an Hou Mansion, will follow your Dai family's." Xu Xiaozu laughed from ear to ear. .

"Father, can you delay for another two days?" Xu Jiatong whispered behind him.

"There is no need to delay. The Empress is kind to you. After a few days, when you change your horoscope and write a marriage letter, you go to the palace and report to the empress." Xu Xiaozu said without doubt.

"Then listen to father." Xu Jiatong said stiffly.

Coming out from Xu Xiaozu's place, Xu Jiatong was very panicked, returned to Huayuan and sat in his room for a while, feeling better.The more she thought about it, the more sinister it seemed, but she just couldn't tell where it was.

If it hadn't been for the last meeting between her and Dai Yuanguan, the Dai family's proposal of marriage was based on the agreement before she entered the palace to wait for the election, so there is nothing to blame.

But that time when they met, Dai Yuanguan clearly stated that he had other arrangements for her, and he was such a person that he didn't seem to change his mind with just one letter.

If he is so easy to change, and he comes and goes when he is called, he can ask Zhao Qiyun or Pang Tai to bring her a message for many things before, and just tell her, why bother? Talk to her again and again, and give her many pointers.

But that letter happened to be true, even if it was a forgery, what purpose did Pangtai do in doing so?
If Dai Yuanguan didn't want to marry her at all, even if Pang Tai made them look engaged, could Dai Yuanguan really marry her just because of a fake show?And by doing so, what can Pontai gain?
Xu Jiatong really couldn't figure it out, and when it was late in the evening, she decided to go to Dai's mansion to find out.Xu Jiatong changed into a dark maid's attire, instead of going through the main entrance, she walked around behind Dai's mansion, a path she had walked once before.

That's the way when Dai Yuanguan rescued him from Lin's people.Dai Yuanguan took her to walk through the streets and alleys at that time, walking freely, and never survived the journey, so it can be seen that she often came in and out from there.And the place where he exposes his figure must be an unobtrusive place.

Xu Jiatong walked along quite smoothly. When she reached the hidden back door, she tried to push the door, but it was locked from the inside.She was not reconciled, and she tossed on the top of the wall with her hands and feet, who had never climbed over the wall.

Fortunately, this back door is connected to the courtyard of the servant's house, and entering this courtyard is the real high wall of Dai Mansion, so this wall is not particularly high.After tossing and tossing for half an hour, she finally climbed up, but accidentally fell off the wall.

"Ouch." Xu Jiatong groaned in pain, but her mind was still strong, she hid behind a large vat in the corner with both hands and feet, and the pain eased.

Just when she was thankful that no one had discovered her, she suddenly missed something, as if she had thought of something, Dai's mansion was heavily guarded in the past for such a big commotion, so she wouldn't be negligent just because Dai Yuanguan was not in the mansion. She fell off the wall like this, how could the people inside not notice at all...

Xu Jiatong recovered, and walked in against the wall. At this moment, there was no one in the servant's room. She followed Dai Yuanguan's method last time, took out the key from the hidden compartment, and entered through another door...
