I'm reborn, only a fool would spoil you

The old Princess of Nanjun and the Nanjun Princess' mother-in-law and daughter-in-law came to propose marriage. Mu Shaoheng and Fu Yushu were happy to see it happen. The couple smiled and went to the upper room to receive the guests.

As a guest, Fu Yuzheng was not allowed to interfere.

She said something to her sister and went to the yard where Dieyi lived to find Dieyi.

At this time, Dieyi had just received Fu Xiaozhen's love letter. She was sitting cross-legged on the warm couch by the window in the inner room, holding the love letter in her hands, and reading it for the third time with relish.

"...I wish to find a like-minded person, and we will be together till we grow old..."

Dieyi read as she read, and later she couldn't help but hum along to the tune.

The voice is so sweet and melodious, three times more beautiful than the little yellow oriole on the branch.

Not long after, a crisp applause sounded outside the window. Dieyi was slightly startled. She pushed open the mahogany window and saw that it was Fu Yuzheng who was standing outside the window at some point.

"Zheng'er, it's you!" After not seeing her for a while, Dieyi was filled with joy.

Fu Yuzheng leaned forward and said with an envious smile:

"Dieyi, your singing skills are incredible. You can sing any song with the flavor of eternal love."

Hearing this, Dieyi smiled and said, "What I sang was not just any song, but a love letter written by your uncle!"

After saying that, he raised the letter paper in his hand.

Fu Yuzheng saw it and said with a smile:

"Oh my god, Uncle San knows how to write love letters to cheer up girls? Is this still my Uncle San?"

"Dieyi, you don't know, my uncle used to be very shy. He would take a detour when he saw a girl from afar..."

In other words, Uncle Third Fu Xiaozhen has changed visibly after meeting Dieyi.

After hearing this, Dieyi's eyes became more filled with happiness.

Who doesn’t like to be the “exceptional and unique” one in their lover’s heart?

When the two good sisters were chatting happily, a little maid suddenly came over with a smile on her face and reported:

"Princess, Master Fu San from the Marquis of Jingyang's residence has arrived and is in the upper room now."

Fu Yuzheng was surprised. Her third uncle also came to visit?

What is Uncle San here for?

Isn't it the matchmaker who arranges the engagement?

According to the wedding customs of the capital, the future fiancé does not need to show up in person on the engagement day.

Dieyi was also quite curious. What was Third Uncle doing here at this time?

Dieyi was a person who dared to think and act, so he immediately pulled Fu Yuzheng and went straight to the upper room. The main idea was "Instead of guessing blindly here, it is better to go and see it with your own eyes."

~

Go up to the room.

"Uncle San, please don't be polite and sit here."

As the mistress of the house, Fu Yushu immediately stood up from the armchair the moment Fu Xiaozhen bowed, and enthusiastically pulled her third uncle to the guest seat.

Mu Shaoheng sat in the main seat and said with a smile: "Xiaozhen, we are all family, there is no need to be so polite, please take a seat."

Xiaozhen?

This was the first time after Mu Shaoheng got married that he did not address him as "Third Uncle" but called him by his nickname.

The change in the name means a change in the generational relationship between the two people, from two generations to peers.

To be honest, Mu Shaoheng is six years older than Fu Xiaozhen. I always felt weird when I called him "Third Uncle" before. Now that I have changed to "Xiaozhen", I finally feel more comfortable.

In addition, with the change from "Third Uncle" to "Brother-in-law", the relationship between the two became closer, and the smile in Mu Shaoheng's eyes became more intense.

When Fu Xiaozhen saw this, he couldn't help but feel a little closer to her.

At this time, the old princess of Nanjun, acting as a matchmaker, smiled at Mu Shaoheng and said:

"You don't know, Prince Zhenbian, that our Princess Dieyi is smart, beautiful and likable. Uncle Fu fell in love with her at first sight and fell in love with her again. So he urged us to come over and get engaged."

After saying this, the old princess of Nanjun clapped her hands three times towards the door.

The twelve servants of the Marquis of Jingyang's mansion who were waiting in the yard came in in response, all carrying loads on their shoulders, and the loads were filled with engagement gifts.

A pair of lively geese.

Twelve sets of head ornaments, some made of pure gold, some made of red coral, some made of mutton-fat jade...

Twelve pieces of Suzhou embroidery cloth...

All kinds of valuable items were loaded down.

Mu Shaoheng took a quick glance and knew that Fu Xiaozhen was serious.

Although these engagement gifts were incomparable to those given by Mu Shaoheng to Fu Yushuo and Gao Ni to Fu Yuzheng, and were not at the same level at all, they were obviously much more generous than those given by other fourth-rank officials of the same level as Fu Xiaozhen.

It is no exaggeration to say that it has increased fivefold.

You have to know that Fu Xiaozhen is just a bastard of a marquis's mansion. He didn't inherit much family property, and he has only been a fourth-rank official for less than half a year. Yet, he is willing to give out so much to save Dieyi's face. It is truly rare.

This shows how much he cares about Dieyi.

Mu Shaoheng smiled and nodded.

At this moment, Dieyi quietly came from the back door with Fu Yuzheng. Dieyi lifted her skirt and walked on tiptoe, preparing to quietly go behind the screen...

Eavesdrop.

Fu Yuzheng couldn't help but laugh secretly when she saw Dieyi showing such a childish side.

Unexpectedly, when Dieyi was walking on tiptoe, she accidentally stepped on the hem of her skirt. She lost control and fell directly towards the screen...

There was a loud "clang" sound.

Dieyi fell to the ground along with the screen.

Mu Shaoheng: ...

Fu Yushu: ...

Fu Xiaozhen: ...

The Old Princess of Nanjun and the Princess of Nanjun: ...

The noise was so loud that it startled everyone sitting in the main room, and they all looked over there.

Dieyi suddenly felt ashamed to face anyone, her face was burning hot. She lay on the screen and buried her face in her arms.

Fu Yuzheng was stunned for a moment, then quickly ran forward to help Dieyi up.

But he was overtaken by another tall figure.

Fu Xiaozhen took a few long steps with his long legs and squatted beside Dieyi. He looked at Dieyi with love in his eyes and smiled softly:

"Princess, are you the purple-robed fairy who descended from heaven?"

"As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw you descending to the earth. As a mortal, I am very curious, does it hurt for you to fall from the sky like this?"

Such interesting words immediately helped Dieyi out of the predicament.

Dieyi immediately raised her little face from her arms and laughed, "Even if I were a fairy, I would still feel pain."

"Where did you get hurt?" Fu Xiaozhen's expression changed slightly and he looked all over her body nervously.

Seeing that Third Uncle was so nervous, Dieyi laughed even more mischievously: "I was just kidding you, but you took it seriously? Are you stupid?"

Fu Xiaozhen touched the back of his head and smiled.

"Hey, do you have any sense? Help me up." Dieyi punched her uncle's arm and urged him in a coquettish tone.

After hearing this, Fu Xiaozhen hurriedly hugged Dieyi's waist and lifted her up from the ground in a few seconds.

The two of them look so ambiguous...

Everyone present turned their heads away in awe.

Fu Yushu was the shyest one in the group, and her face turned red immediately.

Suddenly, Fu Yushu remembered something.

The Southwest Mu Mansion is very particular about rules. Today, Dieyi and Third Uncle were so ambiguous in front of everyone, especially in front of the old Nanjun Princess and the Nanjun Princess. Will Mu Shaoheng...

Do you feel humiliated and angry?

Thinking of this, Fu Yusu looked at Mu Shaoheng with a little worry.

Mu Shaoheng seemed to understand his wife's thoughts. He smiled, held the back of her hand, and patted it gently as if to comfort her.

To be honest, a few years ago he didn't understand the feeling of love and did feel it was inappropriate.

But since he found true love and tasted the sweetness of love, what Mu Shaoheng cares about most now is the word "true love".

It’s so nice when two people love each other.

How beautiful it is to love each other.

"Dieyi and Xiaozhen are a good match." Mu Shaoheng thought about it, then smiled and sighed in Fu Yusu's ear.

Hearing this, Fu Yushu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, her brother Shao Heng is open-minded enough.

Over there, after Fu Xiaozhen helped Dieyi up, Dieyi took his uncle away from the upper room soon after, and the two of them walked side by side in the red plum forest.

In the twelfth lunar month, fine white snow has begun to fall.

The two of them walked romantically on the fine snow, searching for plum blossoms.

Suddenly, Dieyi remembered his doubts and asked directly:

"Uncle San, why did you come to my house today? On the day of the engagement, isn't it enough for the matchmaker to come?"

Hearing this, Fu Xiaozhen's face suddenly turned slightly red.

Seeing this, Dieyi became more curious. She nudged his arm with her elbow and said coquettishly, "Tell me quickly."

Unexpectedly, Fu Xiaozhen suddenly put his hands around her shoulders and pushed her against the trunk of the red plum tree.

She leaned her back against the tree trunk, and he placed his hands on it, locking her in his arms.

Dieyi: ...

What is this for?

Dieyi widened her eyes and became inexplicably nervous.

But Fu Xiaozhen patted his chest and smiled shyly: "You... take it out yourself."

dig?

Go take it from his arms?

Dieyi became more and more curious. At this moment, curiosity overcame nervousness and shyness. Dieyi stretched out her little hand almost without hesitation and reached into the man's arms.

As soon as I entered, I touched something cool.

When he took it out, he found that it was a long and narrow jade box carved from mutton-fat jade with peony patterns carved on it. It was very delicate and high-end.

"Dieyi, open it and take a look." Fu Xiaozhen smiled gently.

Dieyi opened it gently and saw two jade flutes lying in the jade box, one named "Little Fairy" and the other named "Big Man".

Dieyi stroked the jade flute, raised her eyes and smiled, "Uncle San, is this one for each of us?"

Fu Xiaozhen was a little nervous, and touched the back of his head and said, "Dieyi, this is the token of love I gave you, do you... like it?"

A token of love?

No wonder Uncle San came to visit me today.

Dieyi immediately smiled happily and said, "Uncle San, what a beautiful jade flute! I like it! I like it very much! How about we play a tune now?"

After saying that, she took out two jade flutes, kept the "little fairy" for herself, and handed the "big man" to her uncle.

Unexpectedly, when the two were about to blow the whistle, they heard hurried footsteps not far away, as well as an angry voice urging:

"Hurry, hurry, hurry up for me!"

"Hurry up!"

"Faster!"

Hearing the voice, Dieyi frowned.

Sure enough, when I turned around, I saw the old lady rushing away in a sedan chair.

Judging from the direction the old lady was running, there was no doubt that she was heading upstairs.

The engagement ceremony was going on in the upper room, and the old lady rushed there. Could it be a good thing?
