Chapter 563: Afraid of Something?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In a flash, it became the first day of the eighth month.
Xue Dafu, Liu Guixia, and the others sent Xue Sanfu and Xue Wufu to the village entrance with red eyes. Quanping Inn had already sent someone to pick them up, so they didn’t need to go to Quanping Inn alone.
Xue Sanfu was still cold and aloof, but Xue Wufu was crying his eyes out. He was either hugging his mother or father, then his big brother, then his other brother, then his other other brother, and his grandfather… Wait a minute.
Everyone had come to send them off. They all knew that once they left, they didn’t know when they would see each other again.
Seeing that everyone’s attention was on Xue Wufu because of his crying, Jiang Yue tugged at Xue Sanfu’s clothes. When Xue Sanfu bent down to listen to her, she asked softly, “Sanfu, do you have anything you want to say to her?”
It meant that she would help to pa.s.s on the message.
She was naturally talking about Pei Fufu.
Pei Fufu was already 17 years old. In this world, she was already considered an old lady. The girls here usually got married at 15 or 16 years old and were engaged at 12 or 13 years old. However, Pei Fufu was not only not married, but she was not even engaged.
However, Pei Fufu had an elder brother who was the top scorer. Now that her elder brother was in the Hanlin Academy, Pei Fufu was not worried about not being able to get married.
At this age, Pei Fufu’s family must be considering her marriage. If Sanfu left just like that without even leaving a word for Pei Fufu, there was no guarantee that she would be waiting for him. She felt that Pei Fufu might not be part of this family in the future.
“I don’t,” Her Sanfu said these two words indifferently and simply, then he straightened his back.
It immediately made him feel high and mighty again.
He seemed to be afraid that she would see something.
Jiang Yue raised her head. She was too close to Sanfu and he was too tall for her to see his face. Naturally, she did not know if there was any different expression on his face or in his eyes.
Jiang Yue couldn’t help but look at Xue Yan.
She and Xue Yan were standing very close to Sanfu, so he could hear their conversation as well.
Xue Yan also looked up to stare at Sanfu, and then sighed.
In his previous life, Sanfu and Pei Fufu didnt know each other at this time. It was this September when Dongyu came back from the imperial capital and invited his cla.s.smates and friends to gather at his home.
It just so happened that the academy was closed that day. So Sanfu went to Dongyu’s house to pick him up. That was how Sanfu got to know Pei Fufu.
Dongyu had always been a meticulous person. Before he returned to the imperial capital, he found out that Sanfu seemed to be interested in Pei Fufu, so he carefully pushed Pei Fufu to him.
Seeing that Pei Fufu blushed at the mention of Sanfu’s name, Dongyu immediately understood what to do. In addition, Dongyu always felt that Sanfu was very reliable, so he asked him to secretly ask if Sanfu was willing to marry Pei Fufu. If he was willing, Dongyu would try to settle their relationship before returning to the imperial capital and not bring Pei Fufu to the imperial capital.
Dongyu came back this time to take his family to the capital city.
He remembered that Sanfu didn’t say anything at that time. It was only after a few hours that he said he was willing.
Then, he told Dongyu.
Only then did Dongyu make great efforts to facilitate the marriage between Sanfu and Pei Fufu.
Sanfu did not immediately say yes, but after a few hours, he should have thought about it carefully, but why did he have to think carefully?
