Concubine's Survival Handbook

Chapter 288

"Thank you, Miss." Wen Xing and Bi Hua said, and sat next to Jing Ning one after another.

Because we should eat some light meals in the morning, although Wen Xing cooked a lot of dishes, they were basically some vegetables, and there were no fried meat dishes.

"Miss, I'm going to serve porridge." Looking at the dishes on the dining table, Wen Xing always felt that something was missing, and she suddenly patted herself on the head, suddenly realizing.

"Go."

Wenxing hurried out to serve porridge, and Bihua followed suit.

Jing Ning picked up the chopsticks, tentatively picked up a piece of green vegetable and tasted it, it was okay, there was no strange smell.

After a while, Wenxing and Bihua came in and put a bowl of porridge in front of Jingning.

Wen Xing made rice porridge this morning.Jing Ning took a spoonful of it, it was very fragrant and delicious.

"Wen Xing, not bad, the cooking skills are quite good." Jing Ning praised.

Wen Xing said with a smile: "It's so-so, as long as the lady likes it."

"Okay, I will leave all my breakfast to you from now on." Jing Ning said.

The smile on Wen Xing's face froze for a moment, Bi Hua snickered next to him, Wen Xing curled his lips and bowed his head in agreement. "Ok."

Jing Ning was the first to pick up the chopsticks to pick up the vegetables and started to eat, and then Wen Xing and Bi Hua started to move the chopsticks.

Jing Ning is a young lady, she is respectful, they are inferior, and they cannot take precedence over Jing Ning.

After the three of them finished eating, Wen Xing and Bi Hua went to clear the table, while Jing Ning was bored reading.

"By the way, Wen Xing, what about the things I brought back last night?" Jing Ning asked suddenly.

"Things?" Wen Xing was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that Miss was referring to the mask and lantern. "Miss, do you want the mask and lantern?"

"Just put the lantern there, and give me the mask." Jing Ning closed the book in his hand and said.

After a while, Wen Xing came in, handed the mask to Jing Ning, and said with a smile: "Miss, you like this mask so much, who gave it to you, it can't be Mr. Xiao?"

Jing Ning blushed, and without looking up, she just looked at the rabbit mask in her hand, "Wen Xing, you are so wordy. Go get busy."

Wen Xing smiled and left.

Jing Ning stared at the mask in his hand, thinking of the scene where Xiao Lin accompanied him to the Lantern Festival last night, a smile appeared on his face involuntarily.

She put the mask in her hand on her face, looked in the mirror, and a white rabbit was reflected in the mirror.Jing Ning smiled happily when she thought that what she gave Xiao Lin was a gray one.After realizing that he was laughing out loud, he quickly took off the mask, his cheeks flushed.

"Miss." As soon as Bi Hua entered the room, she saw Jing Ning sitting in front of the mirror, her face was like a peach blossom, and her eyes flickered.

"What's the matter?" Jing Ning put the mask on the table, turned around and saw Bi Hua staring at him blankly, a little funny, Bi Hua was always steady, but now she looks like a literary star.

Bi Hua recovered, "Miss, Mr. Xiao is here."

Xiao Lin?Jing Ning was a little puzzled, what did Xiao Lin do here today?It's the New Year's greetings, is there something else going on?
"Not only Mr. Xiao, but General Xiao is also here." Bi Hua said.

Eh?Jing Ning was really stunned this time, she frowned, wondering what General Xiao was doing in the prime minister's residence at this time?It suddenly occurred to me that the parents of the two families said that they would get married in the early spring of the next year. Now that the Spring Festival has passed, the early spring is February, and now the fifteenth day of the first lunar month has passed... Thinking of this, Jing Ning felt that her heart was beating very hard. Xiao Lin and the others today Do you want to be hired to confirm the date of marriage?

Bi Hua thought of everything that Jing Ning thought of, and seeing Jing Ning's shy face now, Bi Hua couldn't help laughing and said, "Miss, isn't this Mr. Xiao here to hire you? It seems that Mr. Xiao is quite anxious."

Zheng Anyan heard that Xiao Lin's family had come, and was a little confused at first. The Lantern Festival has just passed, what's the matter?Later, I thought about it again, once the Lantern Festival is over, it means that the Spring Festival is over.

At the beginning, the two families agreed that they would get married in the early spring of the next year, but now more than half of the first month has passed, and the early spring will be around soon, so they started to come to the door to make an appointment.

Zheng Anyan felt suffocated in his heart, just after the Lantern Festival, Xiao Lin brought Xiao's father and Xiao's mother here, which shows the urgency in his heart.When I thought that the girl I had raised so hard was about to get married, I suddenly felt uncomfortable.But it doesn't matter if it's uncomfortable, the key is that Jingning can be happy in the future.

I heard that Jing Ning met Xiao Lin when he was visiting the Lantern Festival last night, and today Xiao Lin came to hire again in a hurry, which shows that he really has Jing Ning in his heart, and Zheng Anyan is also very relieved.

"Invite Lord Xiao's family to the main hall. I'll be there later." Zheng Anyan said to the servants.

Zheng Anyan headed to the main hall after packing up.As soon as he entered the main hall, he was taken aback by the betrothal gift placed on the ground.However, he was still calm, walked into the house, and first greeted Father Xiao, "Brother Xiao."

"Brother Zheng." Father Xiao seemed to be in a very good mood today.

"Hello, Uncle Zheng." Xiao Lin stood up and said to Zheng Anyan, with an extremely respectful attitude.

Zheng Anyan nodded.He looked at Father Xiao again, with a puzzled expression on his face, "Brother Xiao, what are you doing?" His eyes swept over the gifts on the ground.

Father Xiao laughed loudly, "Brother Zheng is so smart, doesn't he know what I'm going to do?"

Zheng Anyan also smiled, her eyes flickered, and she swept past Xiao Lin who was silently looking at her beside Father Xiao without leaving a trace.

Xiao Lin pursed her lips, feeling a little uneasy.

Father Xiao and Zheng Anyan talked again, most of which were to discuss the wedding date of the two children.

Father Xiao glanced at Xiao Lin who was silent beside him. Although Xiao Lin was still calm on the surface, he was his father and knew Xiao Lin very well, so he also knew that Xiao Lin's superficial indifference was just to cover up his inner heart. tension.

Father Xiao smiled, and said to Zheng Anyan: "Brother Zheng, these are the betrothal gifts of our Xiao family."

Zheng Anyan signaled the housekeeper to take down these large boxes, covered with red silk and satin, looking extraordinarily festive.

"Brother Zheng, let's fix the specific date of marriage today." Father Xiao continued.

Xiao Lin's hand holding the teacup was suddenly clenched.

Zheng Anyan sighed inwardly, but there was still a smile on his face, "Alright."

"There are quite a lot of good and auspicious days in February. The second day of February is when the dragon raises its head, the eighth day is the waking of stings, and there are other days besides that. I wonder what Brother Zheng wants?" Father Xiao only mentioned the beginning of February. the other auspicious days, but only clicked on the others, and a discerning person could tell at a glance that he wanted Zheng Anyan to choose one of these two days.

Zheng Anyan stroked his beard, he was very clear about Father Xiao's plan in his heart, he actually wanted to delay the day for a while, but thinking that Jing Ning also liked Xiao Lin in his heart, so he gave up.

"It's better to be on the eighth day of February." Although Zheng Anyan had figured it out in his heart, he felt that it would be a day if he could delay it, so he said.
