After rebirth, I became the widow of my mortal enemy

Ning Miao stood there respectfully, lowering his brows slightly, and glanced at Yan Mobai out of the corner of his eye.

Seeing that he had no expression on his face and no objection, she said softly, "It's up to the Marquis and Madam to decide."

"Then let's do it the day after tomorrow. I've asked a Taoist priest to look at it and it's said that the day after tomorrow will be auspicious." Jin said.

Ning Miao said nothing, looking obedient and letting things take their course.

Even the date has been set, and it's so urgent, which means asking for her opinion is just a formality, for fear that she will regret it later.

"It's settled then. Let Mo Bai perform the wedding ceremony on behalf of Chang Jing the day after tomorrow." Yan Huating said.

Ning Miao was stunned. He didn't expect this arrangement. He raised his eyes and looked at Yan Mobai.

Yan Mobai's phoenix eyes were filled with mockery, and he sneered coldly: "Why?"

Yan Huating's face darkened: "Just because you two are brothers, it is only natural for me to pick up the bride for you."

Yan Mobai brushed off the dust on his sleeves, and curled his lips coldly: "Then you are still father and son, it's not a bad idea for the father to marry the son."

This sentence shocked everyone in the hall.

This is outrageous talk.

Yan Huating was furious and slapped the tea table beside him: "What nonsense are you talking about!"

"Anyway, I won't do it for you." Yan Mobai's voice was cold and thin, but also firm.

Yan Huating and Jin both looked unhappy.

Liu and Sun dared not make a sound and just watched the excitement in silence.

Normally, Liu's daughter Yan Xuanji is in the girls' school, and it's a rare day off so she's here too.

Seeing this, he suggested: "I have seen many similar cases in the storybooks. People let the bride and the rooster worship each other in the hall. Why don't we follow suit?"

I heard about this sister-in-law who came from Jiangnan a few days ago. Everyone in the mansion said how beautiful and graceful she was. Today, I saw that she was indeed stunningly beautiful.

Perhaps it was because she was too good-looking, she disliked and rejected it from the bottom of her heart.

How could a woman like this fall in love with her good-for-nothing elder brother?

As a woman, she did not believe it.

So, she deliberately proposed to marry the rooster to see how he would respond?

The other party remained silent, so Yan Huating spoke unhappily: "You are also joking. Is your brother a rooster? He is a rooster, so what are you?"

"No, that's what's written in the storybook!" Yan Xuanji retorted, but was pulled back by Liu.

"Xuan Ji is still young and speaks without restraint. Please don't blame me, Master and Madam." Liu bowed her head and apologized.

Jin wanted to get angry, but because Yan Huating was beside her, she held back and just gritted her teeth and said sarcastically, "You're already an adult, you're not young anymore."

She actually let a rooster take the place of her son. Who is she humiliating?

Yan Xuanji was still a little unconvinced, but Liu grabbed her wrist tightly and she remained silent.

Ning Miao lowered his eyes and was silent for a moment, then said, "How about I marry the jade pendant Yan Lang gave me? The jade pendant is Yan Lang's personal belongings, and it is also a token of love he gave me. I heard from Yan Lang that it was given to him by the Marquis on his coming-of-age day, and it has a special meaning."

The reason he knew all this was because Yan Changjing himself told the pawnshop owner when he went to pawn the jade pendant and bargained with the shopkeeper. He said that the jade pendant was a coming-of-age gift from his father, and he would not pawn it unless it was absolutely necessary.

Yan Huating was very pleased to hear this.

Although the eldest son was idle, dissolute and incompetent, he was his eldest son after all, and it was rare for him to attach so much importance to the jade pendant he gave him.

Especially compared with the disrespectful son in front of him, he seems much more filial.

He immediately agreed: "Okay, let's do it."

-

When going out, Yan Xuanji chased out and called Yan Mobai and Ning Miao.

"Second brother, eldest sister-in-law."

The two men stopped one after the other.

Yan Xuanji trotted over and asked Yan Mobai.

"Tomorrow our school will hold a civil and military exam. We can invite brothers and sisters to watch. Can you go and cheer me up, second brother?"

"I'm busy." Yan Mobai replied indifferently.

Yan Xuanji was not surprised at all, but she was not discouraged either. She reached out and pulled his sleeve, but did not dare to pull too much. She just pulled a little bit and shook it.

"I beg you, second brother. My eldest brother is like this now, and you are my only brother. Can you help me? It's a good time for you to go after the court session. It won't take up much of your time. Good second brother, please agree, okay? Okay?"

"Not good." Yan Mobai looked indifferent and distant. He raised his arm to pull his sleeve out of her hand, then left with Chi Feng and Lan Ying.

Yan Xuanji was very disappointed, but helpless, and her little mouth was pouted.

When he turned around and saw Ning Miao was still there, his face turned cold.

"Sister-in-law, I want to bring some cakes from Cai Lian Zhai to the school tomorrow for everyone to eat. Cai Lian Zhai is a specialty of Jiangnan, and you are from Jiangnan, so you must know which cakes are delicious. Please go buy some for me."

Yan Xuanji left after saying this, and Ning Miao looked at the sky.

The maid Chunlan beside him frowned and said, "Madam, it may be too late to go to Cai Lian Zhai now."

How could Ning Miao not know?

There is always a huge queue at Cailianzhai every day, and it closes at the end of Shen time. If you go at this time, you will definitely miss it. Yan Xuanji has to go to school early tomorrow morning, and Cailianzhai will not be open yet.

This is clearly a problem for her.

After a moment of silence, she said, "It's okay. We'll go line up at five o'clock tomorrow. Tell the doorman to prepare the carriage."

-

At night, the candlelight flickers.

Ning Miao sat in front of the bronze mirror. Chunlan took off the hairpin on her head, letting her hair down. Her black hair cascaded down like a waterfall.

"Madam, you are so beautiful." Chunlan couldn't help but admire the person in the mirror whose skin was whiter than snow, whose eyebrows and eyes were as pretty as a lotus.

Ning Miao said nothing and looked at himself in the bronze mirror.

In fact, she knew that she was beautiful. She had been hearing people say that about her since she was born.

She was born in a wealthy merchant family in Jiangnan and was treated like a precious jewel in the palm of her hand since childhood.

When she was five years old, she went to Huaiyang with her parents to visit relatives. They encountered robbers on the way and both her parents were killed. She was rescued by Master Yikong from Zixia Mountain.

Master Yikong taught her how to read and write, play the piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, military tactics, riding and archery.

Master Yikong told her that the beauty of life is both a good thing and a bad thing.

In this world, life is very difficult for women, especially beautiful women who suffer many disasters.

At first, she tried to make herself look ugly by drawing a birthmark on her face or sticking a birthmark on it. Later, she found that it was not only troublesome but also easy to fall off when exposed to water or sweat.

Later, she discovered that there was a kind of grass in Zixia Mountain, which could make the skin darker if washed with water. So she washed her face every day. She also deliberately kept thick eyebrows like a man and kept cutting her long eyelashes.

When she was fifteen, she bid farewell to Master Yikong and wanted to go down the mountain to realize her ambitions.

It was at that time that he met King Kang.

At that time, there was a flood in Jiangnan, and King Kang was ordered to provide disaster relief in Jiangnan.

She saw him setting up a porridge stall on the street to give out porridge, saw him going to the refugee area to bandage the wounds of the wounded, and saw him repairing houses with the people in the heavy rain.

At that time, she felt that a noble prince who was so kind and benevolent, and who served the country and the people, would definitely be a wise ruler when he became emperor.

So, when she learned that he was troubled by the fact that the court's disaster relief grain could not be transported to the south of the Yangtze River as scheduled, she came to him to offer advice, helped him out of the predicament, and officially became his aide.
