Chapter 419 Xiaoyuan sends a marriage letter

"Yes, I remember it. Sister Hua, you are so smart. Why do you know so much even though you are younger than me? I feel like you are my sister.

No, my second sister is older than you and me, and she herself doesn't know these things. A few days ago, she came to see me and advised me to bear it, bear it, everyone lives like this, such words. "Zhenzhu smiled.

Hualei smiled, and continued to walk slowly with Zhenzhu, saying, "Because I read a lot of books."

Pearl nodded and said, "Indeed, when you lived in the Marquis' Mansion before. However, don't most books teach us how to be humble and filial to our parents-in-law?

Are there any books that teach daughters-in-law how to deal with their mothers-in-law and how to be a mistress? I have never seen any. "Zhenzhu asked doubtfully.

"Although there is no special book to teach you how to deal with your mother-in-law, the general principles are the same. It's all about the relationship between people.

You treat me sincerely, and I treat you honestly. If you play tricks on me, don't blame me for playing tricks on you. Right?" Hualei smiled softly.

"Hey, sister Hua, you are right. I will go back and write it down in my notebook later." Zhenzhu took Hualei's arm and smiled. Hualei also smiled.

Hualei cherishes Zhenzhu very much. After she moved into the mansion, Zhenzhu was the first person to show kindness to her, except for Grandmother Pei. During the three years in the mansion, Zhenzhu protected her and treated her well from time to time, and Hualei always kept it in mind.

At the Marquis Pingyang's Mansion, Hua Lei had a hearty and nutritious lunch with Zhenzhu. Thinking that Zhenzhu would need to rest in the afternoon, Hua Lei said goodbye and returned to her own house under Zhenzhu's reluctant gaze.

Then Qingying went to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion in person and explained the whole story to Old Madam Pei in detail, so that Old Madam Pei could communicate with each other in advance. While Old Madam Pei was angry for Zhenzhu, she was also moved by Hualei's sincerity.

After five or six days, Zhenzhu "fainted" in Pingyang Marquis's Mansion, and Qinghe hurried back to Zhenbei Marquis's Mansion. Then, accompanied by Pei Rongjin, Old Madam Pei's hands and feet were shaking with anger and she was in tears.

After Mrs. Pei's well-reasoned and well-written performance, Mrs. Jiang had to put aside some of her thoughts and stopped deliberately making things difficult for Zhenzhu. In the days that followed, she rarely interfered in the affairs between her son and daughter-in-law, and Zhenzhu's life became much better.

When Hualei went to visit Zhenzhu with the prepared snacks, Xiaoyuan and Tian Dacheng went to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion with the marriage certificate.

After careful consideration, Hua Lei felt that no matter what, both Marquis Pei and Rong Jin had expressed their intentions to her, hoping that she could become the mistress of the Marquis Zhenbei's mansion and Rong Jin's wife.

They also promised me to think about it carefully. No matter what the answer was, the Marquis' Mansion would not embarrass me. Now two years have passed, and I should give them a reply. Whether it is acceptance or rejection, it is better than being unclear like this.

Although Rong Jin's family background is much higher than mine, he is a pretty good person. Although he may not be able to fulfill his promise to me to be with her for the rest of her life, I will just see how he does when the time comes.

Otherwise, it would not work if he kept dragging it out. His age was indeed not young in the Great Sheng Dynasty. Zhenzhu had been married for two years and was about to become a mother. Xiaoyuan was so anxious about his marriage that he scratched his head and could not sleep at night.

Originally, Hua Lei wanted to go to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion with Xiao Yuan to explain the situation to Lord Pei and his wife. In her opinion, there were many examples of girls chasing boys in previous lives. Since she had decided to choose Rong Jin, there was no need for her to be shy.

But Xiaoyuan insisted that he should go to the Zhenbei Marquis's Mansion to deliver the marriage certificate according to the rules of the Great Sheng Dynasty. Hualei thought about it and suggested that her uncle Tian Dacheng go with her to show respect.

Now, Tian Dacheng is his oldest elder, so it makes sense for him to go with Xiaoyuan. Xiaoyuan thought about it and agreed. So, he explained the situation to Tian Dacheng in advance, and on the 14th day of the first lunar month, the two of them went to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion together.

In the main room of Songhe Hall in Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, Lord Pei and his wife sat at the top, entertaining Tian Dacheng who came for the first time. Xiaoyuan, who was sitting on one side, was quite used to it. Rong Jin was sitting on the other side.

After the tea was served, Xiao Yuan stood up without exchanging pleasantries and suddenly knelt in front of Lord Pei and his wife. They were both startled at the same time.

"Xiaoyuan, what are you doing? Get up quickly." said Lord Pei.

Xiao Yuan, who was kneeling on the ground, did not get up. Instead, he took out a book from his arms, opened it carefully, took out the marriage letter written by his grandfather Hua, held it in front of Lord Pei, and said.

"Grandfather Pei, this is the marriage proposal my grandfather wrote to the Zhenbei Marquisate. My grandfather agreed to marry my sister, Hua Lei, the eldest daughter of our Hua family, to Pei Rongjin, the eldest son of the Zhenbei Marquisate, as his legal wife."

Except for Tian Dacheng, the other three people in the room were all shocked, especially Rong Jin, whose face suddenly turned red.

Lord Pei also stood up with a look of surprise and took the marriage proposal from Xiao Yuan. When he opened the marriage proposal, the smooth handwriting of Lord Hua came into view.

When Lord Pei saw the date, he saw that it was written six years ago by Lord Hua before he passed away. He couldn't help but asked in surprise, "Xiao Yuan, is this what your grandfather gave you before he passed away?"

Xiaoyuan nodded.

"Does Lei'er know about this marriage letter?" Old Madam Pei interrupted and asked.

"I didn't know it before, I only found out about it a few years ago." Xiaoyuan answered honestly.

"Then you send this marriage certificate over today. Does Sister Hua know about it? Does she agree?" Rong Jin was already squatting next to Xiao Yuan.

Xiao Yuan nodded and said, "Sister knows, and she agrees with it."

"Really?" Rong Jin's mouth corners were already curled up.

Xiaoyuan nodded, and Rong Jin's mouth corners curled up even higher.

"Great, great, Xiaoyuan, get up quickly, get up quickly. Let me see, I'll pick a good day nearby to get this done." Old Marquis Pei was already frantically looking for a calendar in the drawer.

Rong Jin went to help Xiao Yuan who was kneeling on the ground. Xiao Yuan took Rong Jin's hand and stood up. Then he turned to Rong Jin and said, "Brother Rong Jin, can I ask you for a favor?"

Rong Jin was slightly startled, nodded, and said, "Xiao Yuan, whatever you say, I'm listening."

"Brother Rong Jin, my sister is very sensitive and has a strong sense of self-esteem. If one day you cannot treat her well, please do not bully her or torture her.

Just tell me and I'll take her home." Xiao Yuan's voice was low but firm, "If you humiliate her, she won't be able to survive."
