Chapter 45: Urging Marriage

The birthday banquet of the eldest princess of Yongning was held in the princess's mansion.

When Mi Xia Yao and Mi Hanhai went to Mi Mansion early in the morning to pick up the old man, they happened to meet the eldest uncle.

"Big brother." Mi Hanhai respected this big brother very much, and he took the first step to say hello.

"This royal birthday banquet is inconsistent with the usual birthday banquet, the third brother should pay more attention when he takes A-Yao."

The uncle patted Mi Hanhai's shoulder with a smile and said.

Looking at the scene of harmony between the two brothers, Mi Xia Yao looked away.

"Ah Yao is not young, and the royal princess and county lord are almost Ah Yao's age when they talk about marriage, so I didn't think about finding another one for her?"

The uncle held his cuffs and said this sentence seemingly unintentionally, but in fact, the caution in his heart was completely exposed in this sentence.

The smile on Mi Hanhai's lips was a little stagnant, "A-Yao is also a person who has experienced a marriage, and her state of mind is definitely much more mature than at that time, and the child has his own choice."

"The spring of the new year should be about to be elected, how is Ah Lin's preparation? Do we need to use some financial resources to see which dignitaries and nobles hear some rumors from their mouths? ”

He is not a vegetarian either, and he threw a heavy burden on his uncle when he came up.

Mi Xia Yao stood aside and heard this, and couldn't help but laugh.

The uncle talked about her marriage, and the father naturally had to leave no room to speak about his son who couldn't get the champion five times.

She could see with the naked eye that the uncle's face was gradually becoming a little unsightly.

"I'm also worried about him when his uncle is worried, Ah Lin is not young, and if he can't do it, he should find another way out."

Mi Hanhai cautiously patted his uncle's shoulder.

Just when the two brothers stood facing each other and couldn't distinguish each other's joys, sorrows and sorrows, Master Mi and Mrs. Mi walked out of the house.

They said goodbye to their uncle and accompanied Master Mi into the carriage.

Mi Xia Yao sat by the window.

The words that the uncle said just now may be just a care between brothers in Mi Hanhai's eyes.

But for her, it is impossible to bring up such a topic for such a reason.

The group of people in the Mi family looked harmonious and happy on the surface, if it weren't for the grandfather suppressing the group of uncles who had ghosts in their hearts, they might not know how to make trouble with themselves.

After arriving at the princess's mansion, the Mi family followed the female official of the princess's mansion into the courtyard.

In the open-air garden, round tables were scattered before they sat down. After a while, another female officer led someone over.

Pei Xingyuan didn't follow the prince today, although he was wearing a blue robe, it was a regular dress, but the fabric was delicately embroidered, ......?

Mi Xia Yao looked up and down Pei Xingyuan's suit with half-squinted eyes.

The more she looked at it, the more familiar it felt.

Old Madam Mi had been observing Mi Xiayao's every move, and she saw that her granddaughter had been staring at Pei Xingyuan.

The old lady looked at Pei Xingyuan again.

The latter turned his head with a calm expression and was saying something to the female officer.

When the female official left, Mrs. Mi said, "Is Xiao Pei more than twenty now?" ”

Master Mi was originally chatting with Mi Hanhai about something, and when he heard this, he glanced up at Old Madam Mi.

The latter sensed her husband's gaze, and she seemed to pause.

Pei Xingyuan coped calmly, and said with a smile: "It's almost, after the New Year, it will be twenty-five or six." ”

"Today's juniors are self-motivated, and they want to succeed in their careers, and they don't want to be old enough to get here, so they start a family first."

Old Madam Mi smiled a little reluctantly, and after she hurriedly finished this sentence, she thought about interrupting the topic.

But Pei Xingyuan was not as good as she wanted, so she had to continue this topic: "What the old lady said makes sense, most people have been like this recently. ”

Mi Xia Yao glanced at the man, she was 100% sure that the man did it on purpose.

"But how expensive is the finished product of a family now, the capital is all Houmen's nobles." Pei Xingyuan's Danfeng eyes looked at Old Madam Mi with a deep smile.

Master Mi's eyes looked at Mrs. Mi again, she paused and laughed dryly.

Until Pei Xingyuan was greeted and called away by other bureaucrats, and there was no foreign surname at this table, Master Mi cleared his throat and reminded Mrs. Mi not to talk nonsense.

Mi Xia Yao saw that Old Madam Mi couldn't make a trick, and she was about to burst into joy with laughter in her heart.

I took this opportunity to get up and go out.

When I walked out of the courtyard, I found that the courtyard outside was more lively, and many dignitaries stood together and laughed and chatted about weekday things.

There was also a well-dressed Houmen lady chatting for a while.

Mi Xia Yao's dressing fabric today was specially selected from Yuelai Lou and cut and worn, especially the shawl on her shoulders.

Unlike those noble ladies of the family, who hung on the shoulders of the crooks of her arms, she unfolded the shawl and hung it on her shoulders, and her steps were steady, but the shawl that was unfolded like a light veil floated in the air.

Mi Xia Yao's temperament is outstanding and conspicuous, and some people notice her, but they have no memory and communication with her, and they only glance at her.

She saw that there were many people, and thought about going around in a circle to stay in a place where there were fewer people for a while.

Unexpectedly, at a corner, I saw a familiar man bowing his head to a female official and saying something.

The female officer was vigilant and soon discovered Mi Xia Yao's movements.

At this moment, like a frightened bird and beast, the female official did not turn back and ran into the deep path.

"What are you doing here?"

Duan Honglin frowned and questioned the other party.

Mi Xia Yao kept the clothes of the female official who had just escaped in her heart, and turned her head to look at Duan Honglin.

"The eldest princess personally invited me...... Isn't this the princess's mansion of the eldest princess, you can come, why can't I come? ”

She still has a thorn in her words, and she irritates people with ridicule and laughter.

Duan Honglin seemed to be a little calmer than before, although his expression changed and changed, it was rare that he didn't scold her back at the beginning.

"Do you really think that the royal people are looking up to you by throwing an olive branch at you?" Duan Honglin sneered.

He took a few steps forward, and the distance between the two of them narrowed considerably.

"It's a shame I didn't bring down your tavern last time."

Last time? Lin Qiang?

Mi Xia Yao was not afraid, let alone panicked, she looked up at Duan Honglin in front of her with a frank gaze.

He was caught off guard by the tenacity in her eyes.

"Duan Honglin, I didn't attack you before, you should be grateful to me, since you picked me as a Liangzi.

"I'm just too busy to pull away, and I can easily trample you into the dirt."

She glanced up and down at Duan Honglin, and said with a sneer: "You sesame petty official take the opportunity to be promoted, don't let me toss you." ”

Putting down this cruel sentence, her red lips hooked slightly, turned around and left the trail neatly without a little hesitation.

Duan Honglin stood in place, his eyes gloomy and compassionate.
