Chapter 5: First Sight

Today, Bai Qi, Bao Lu, Ai Dai and Lilac all got up early in the morning, and began to prepare for Miss Su Peiyi's dress and jewelry from Mao Shi, because yesterday the old man told Miss that the young master of General Xiao's mansion would come over today. A few days ago, the two families have been discussing marriage for a long time, and Miss is also twenty-nine years old, and she has already given birth to a baby in an ordinary person's home, but Mrs. Su Xiang died early and was reluctant to marry her only daughter as soon as possible, and Miss didn't care about love and dragged it to this age.

Speaking of Young Master Xiao, Xiao Junkun's worth is also worthy of Miss. His father, General Xiao Mo, was the former emperor's general who was the protector of the country, and when the throne was inherited in the previous dynasty, the domestic situation was turbulent, and he was harassed by the border enemy, he was able to defeat the crowd and support the emperor to conquer the Quartet, so as to win the emperor's smooth ascension to the throne, and he had to approach the peaceful days when Fanbang bowed down to the courtiers.

The emperor lamented that General Xiao had fought all his life, and he was specially named the general who protected the country, and the scale of the mansion he rewarded was unforgettable even for the prince. Moreover, after the death of the first emperor, the new emperor not only did not take back the military power in the hands of General Xiao, but even more favored by the emperor, and suppressed the opposition from the court, and even the duties of the palace guards were all handed over to General Xiao.

And Xiao Junkun is the second son of General Xiao, and he also leads a political envoy in the imperial court to promote the idle position, and if he really marries, he will not lose the identity of the young lady, so several maids are very attentive to the young lady's dress today, for fear that they will not be able to show Su Peiyi's flower and moon appearance to the extreme.

"Miss is so beautiful in this pink and green Ruyi patterned Luo skirt, it will definitely make that Young Master Xiao can't turn his eyes when he sees it!" The babbling Tansy inserted the last peony hairpin into Su Peiyi's coiled bun, looked at the woman in the bronze mirror who looked forward to the wind, and couldn't help but praise.

"It's sweet in your mouth." Su Peiyi raised her hand and stroked her sideburns, her face was rare with the shyness of an ordinary woman, and she was also looking forward to meeting her fiancé this time.

After all, her age is not young, and she has been hiding in the deep boudoir of this Xiangguo Mansion under the protection of her father for a long time, although her father has very little restraint on her, but there are only a few people she can see every day, and the men of the right age have really not been in contact. And what I want to see this time is the second young master of the general's mansion who has already got his father's blue eyes, speaking of which is also a talent, I dare not say that I am not a gentleman, this marriage has been decided, and today's meeting is just to discuss some trivial things in the big day, and it is also to let Su Peiyi take a look at her future husband in advance and avoid being too embarrassed on the day of marriage.

Thinking that she was about to meet the lover she was going to spend the rest of her life with, Pei Yi couldn't help but have two red clouds burning on her face......

"Meet my father, I've seen Young Master Xiao."

The subordinate led Su Peiyi into the main hall, she didn't dare to look up at the people around her, she only bowed to her father and said goodbye, and buried her head sideways and blessed her body slightly.

"Peiyi, come here." Su Xiang softly called her to sit down: "This is the eldest man in General Xiao's mansion, Xiao Junkun, Young Master Xiao, you two still saw it when you were young." ”

"I've seen Miss Su." A low and magnetic man's voice came into the ears of Pei Yi, who was too ashamed to raise his eyes, and swept the person in front of him with the corner of his eyes, only to see that this Young Master Xiao was indeed handsome, wearing a white silk dark pattern gown, his face was like a treasure, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was as warm as spring.

"It's really good-looking!" The Baolu probe who was ordered to guard outside the door looked at it and turned back to share the "military information" with Bai Qi next to him, Ai Dai and Lilac were left in the young lady's wing room and did not come to serve, so they could only gossip with the usual big sister-like Bai Qi in front of them: "Standing with Miss is also a good match, but I don't know if the embroidered pillow is just a leather face......

"Don't talk nonsense." Bai Qi really isn't as big or small as her, and today for some reason she seems to be very depressed, and she doesn't have much energy to do things with her eyes sad, and she told Baolu: "Look at Miss Dian, they have to make some preparations when they leave the house later." ”

"How do you know they're leaving?" Baolu wanted to ask, but looking at Bai Qian's expression in a trance, he didn't ask after all. He bowed his head to show that he understood.

Peeked into the room again, and saw that Su Xiang and Young Master Xiao were chatting about what they were talking about, and occasionally Miss picked up a sentence that Young Master Xiao praised Miss for her wide knowledge and unique vision in discussing things, which made Su Xiang and Young Master Xiao proud and shy...... Bao Lu rolled his eyes, this Young Master Xiao is also a smart person, and he knows that pleasing a woman without disgusting the elders is indeed a little scheming. But if you put it on yourself, you must do it more extreme-although he is the young master of the General's Mansion, but there is an elder brother on top of him, and the position of the general is not hereditary, if you want to mix well, it is not a convenient way to marry the Prime Minister's Mansion, in the words on the Internet, it is really "marry Bai Fumei and walk to the peak of life"!

Besides, three wives and four concubines are popular in this era, even if the identity of the young lady is the daughter of the prime minister's house, you can't say no, isn't this the pinnacle of life pursued by a man?

Beautiful wife and concubine, powerful background backstage (the emperor's kid has to be polite when he sees him, after all, his identity as Lao Tzu is there; The father-in-law is the boss of the civil service, and a cadre of civil servants has to be polite when he sees him), and the gold and silver treasures are probably collected a lot just by his own official (before Bai Qi popularized the political envoy to several of their sisters, what the Xuanfu envoy does, is to convey the orders between the provinces, governments, prefectures, and counties, seal and sign the receipt and release. If the officials below want to be efficient, they must give filial piety to this young master, and they will definitely give them silver)......

Bao Lu thinks that people really have a "life" or not, you see Su Peiyi must have burned high incense before reincarnation, and this life has nothing to do with hardships and suffering, unlike himself, he can't escape the errand of serving people once he finally crosses......

couldn't help but take a look at Bai Qi, hey, his consciousness is really still alive in modern times for a long time, and he is too deeply affected, not as good as the native ancient man in front of him. Look at people, how conscientious it is to be a maid, look at the door and raise your chest and shake it, and you have been busy for so long since you got up in the morning, and when you stand on the porch and wait, you feel that your head is dizzy, and you can't wait to fall to the ground and sleep in a daze - there is no five insurances and one housing fund to be a maid, and the lifelong employment guarantee is not large, there is no quasi-letter to work and no overtime pay, and the most annoying thing is that the excitement of receiving a salary slip in the previous life is not comparable to receiving some broken silver now, "I am really still patriotic, especially the avatar of Grandpa Mao", Bao Lu sighed in his heart, and he didn't know if there would be a chance to see the pink bill again.

However, when Bao Lu took over the silver ingots that the master had rewarded him today from Bai Qi, he had already forgotten those previous thoughts. We have to say that no matter which dynasty it is placed in, purchasing power is the greatest persuasiveness.
