Concubine's Survival Handbook

Chapter 237 Forced to agree to get married

As soon as he returned to the General's Mansion, Xiao Lin looked at Mother Xiao urgently.

Mother Xiao asked Father Xiao calmly, "Why, Master Zheng disagrees? What did you say?"

Father Xiao frowned, and said helplessly, "My son and I haven't spoken yet, we haven't said anything. Brother Zheng has been playing around with us all the time, and never mentioned this matter."

"What about you? What does the old lady think?" Father Xiao asked.

Xiao's mother squinted at Xiao Lin who was fidgeting, and secretly sighed that her son was getting older, and the mother couldn't control it anymore.

She said slowly, "Aren't you still worried about what I did?"

Before Xiao's father could speak, Xiao Lin's eyes lit up for a moment, and then he hurriedly asked: "Mother, so the old lady agreed?"

Mother Xiao nodded, "The date has been settled, it will be early spring next year, just like what you told me. Are you satisfied now?"

Xiao Lin could hear the pleasure in Xiao Mu's tone towards him, but he didn't pay attention to it, the joy in his chest seemed to engulf him, he was finally going to be with Jing Ning.

After rejoicing for a while, Xiao Lin noticed his gaffe, he coughed lightly, ignored the playful smiles of Father Xiao and Mother Xiao, saluted and said, "Since the matter has been settled, the child will Say goodbye first and leave."

After Xiao Rin left, Xiao's mother laughed and said, "This Rin'er has fallen into the hands of Jing Ning."

Xiao's father nodded, and looked down at Xiao's mother, his rough face was full of tenderness.It is said that a hero is saddened by a beauty.Then Mother Xiao is Father Xiao's Beauty Pass.

"I also admire Jingning." Xiao's mother continued, "Jingning has general knowledge, elegant manners, talent and appearance, and a personality that suits my taste. She is the same as her mother. They're all good girls." Thinking of Jingning's mother, Xiao's mother's originally gentle smile froze for a moment, and then she lowered her eyes.

Sensing the sadness from Xiao's mother, Xiao's father frowned, and hugged the woman's slender waist with some distress, "Jingning has grown up too." He comforted.

"Yes, I have grown up." Mother Xiao wiped the corners of her eyes lightly with an embroidered handkerchief, "Now that Lin'er and Jingning are getting married, she will be happy if she knows."

"Yes." Father Xiao said.

After Xiao Lin came out of the hall, he was in a very floating state.Completely changed into another look.

Occasionally, a servant girl would pass by him and greet him with blessings, Xiao Lin responded with a faint smile.

The maids and boys were shocked.Isn't the young master always indifferent?What's going on today?The young master actually smiled at me?

Mother Xiao listened to the servants' whispers, Xiao Lin's abnormality was already within her expectation, but she didn't expect it to be so crazy, it seems that Lin'er really likes Jingning, this is very good.

Ever since Lin'er grew up, she was very worried that the child would dislike Jing Ning, fearing that he would reject the engagement.But after I mentioned it to him, I found that he didn't object very much, just nodded as usual, and then left as if nothing happened.

Xiao's mother smiled, she didn't realize when this child fell in love with Jing Ning, this mother is really dereliction of duty.

Prime Minister's House.

"What?" Zheng Anyan had just sent Xiao Lin and his son away, and was feeling relieved, thinking that this marriage could be put aside for a while, and then saw the personal servant next to the old lady come to tell him that he had something to discuss.

He knew that Xiao's mother also met the old lady, but he didn't worry too much, he thought that the old lady would also want to postpone it, so he went.But who knows that when I arrived, before I could sit still, I saw the old lady take a sip of tea with a calm expression, and then said in a flat tone that I agreed to the marriage contract between Jing Ning and Xiao Lin, and planned to find a good day and auspicious day for the two of them at the beginning of spring next year. The marriage is done.

"Mother, why don't you discuss things with your son?" Zheng Anyan pinched the center of her brows, her tone irritated.

The old lady stared, and put the tea cup in her hand heavily on the table, "Why, I can't make a wedding date for my granddaughter? Huh?"

Zheng Anyan shook his head quickly, and comforted him: "Mother, that's not what my son meant. How dare my son." Seeing that the old lady's expression softened a little, he said tentatively, "It's just that my son thinks this is too fast and there's no time to prepare."

"There are still three or four months, enough." The old lady snorted coldly, turned the prayer beads in her hand, and stopped looking at Zheng Anyan.

"But it's still too soon. Jing Ning is still young, and the father doesn't want her to marry so early. Besides, mother, are you willing to leave Jing Ning?"

The movement of the old lady's hands stopped for a moment, she sighed, she knew why Zheng Anyan reacted so strongly, her daughter was grown up, and she couldn't keep it. "Mother knows that you don't want to part with Jing Ning. To be honest, Mother doesn't want this girl to get married so early. But you see, Xiu Ning has been married for more than two months. As the eldest daughter, Jing Ning has been delayed. Not getting married will make other people think and think of Jing Ning. Besides, the marriage contract with Xiao Lin was made since childhood. Now that the two children have grown up, this matter cannot be postponed. And You can also see this child Xiao Lin, you must know how this child treats Jing Ning and his character."

"If you don't want to part with Jingning, the two families are so close, if you miss her, it's okay to let her run more towards her mother's house."

After listening to the old lady's words, Zheng Anyan thought about it carefully and found out that this is the truth.Now that Jing Ning has already reached the age of Ji, and Xiu Ning has been married for a long time, logically speaking, it is time for Jing Ning to get married.Zheng Anyan felt very uncomfortable, the reason was this, and he knew it, but he just couldn't get over that hurdle in his heart.

Jing Ning heard Bihua's report back in her own courtyard, and knew that Xiao Lin came here this time to propose a marriage, and also knew that her father did not agree, but the old lady had already discussed it with Xiao's mother.

Although Jing Ning had already guessed the purpose of Xiao Lin's visit today, but now that she heard it with her own ears, she was still a little excited.

Although her father objected, Jing Ning was not in a hurry at all, as long as the old lady agreed, then the matter would be settled.

She looked at the smiles in Wen Xing and Bi Luo's eyes, and put away the smiles on her face, "How dare you laugh at Miss Ben?" She pretended to be angry.

Wen Xing said with a smile, "Miss, do you know? You look like Mr. Xiao when you lose your temper with a stern face." After finishing, he looked at Bi Luo again, "Yes, Bi Luo."

"Yes." Bi Luo said with a smile.

Jing Ning's cheeks were slightly red, she turned her face away from embarrassment, and ignored her two maidservants.

"Miss, do you want to prepare the fabric and start embroidering the wedding dress now?" Bi Luo and Wen Xing looked at each other, and Bi Luo asked Jing Ning very seriously.

Jing Ning's cheeks became even redder, and she snorted, ready to teach the two of them a lesson.Zheng Anyan's voice came from outside the door, "What do you want to embroider?"
