Riding the Pheonix Chapter 473: Unwilling

When word spread that Ji Xiaowu entered Taoism and broke off his engagement, several groups of people came to the Ji family to inquire about Mingwei's marriage.

Mingwei was very surprised when Mrs. Ji mentioned it: "There are still people proposing marriage to me?"

Ms. Dong, who was doing embroidery work, sneered: "Cousin, what kind of tone are you talking about? For a girl in her prime, how come no one proposes marriage? If you hadn't been engaged to Xiaowu before, our family's threshold would have been It has been trampled down long ago."

Ming Wei said: "But my family background..."

Her cheap dad was beheaded for treason. Isn’t this a bit taboo?

"So what? You were pardoned by the emperor himself, so there is no need to worry about it. What's more, you have a large dowry, you have no other relatives except your uncle's family, and you are so beautiful. In the eyes of some people, you are the real one. Everything is complete."

"Oh..." Mingwei thought thoughtfully.

It is a pity to have no family background, but if the other person has no intention of working hard in his career, it doesn't matter. On the contrary, it will be easier to handle.

Think about it, a rich and beautiful young lady with no family background, will she be at the mercy of her family when she gets married?

"There are many families in our area who are said to have official status, but in fact they all have very little wealth. Some of them marry merchant girls for dowry, not to mention you, cousin?"

Not all officials live in big houses. The salary of this dynasty is not small, but how can it be so easy to raise a big family? The land in Yunjing is expensive, and just buying a house is a big expense. Many people can't even afford a house, so they only rent a house.

In the alleyway of Ji's house, there are many officials from out of town, and those who can afford to buy a house are considered good.

Mingwei has an uncle who is a businessman, and a cousin who has a promising future. He is also rich and handsome, so it is perfect for them.

Family background? That is something only the real big players care about, and they are still far away!

Ji Xiaowu broke off the engagement, and Coca-Cola upset many people. I don't know how many people laughed at him behind his back. Such a good woman actually gave up her life just because she became a Taoist priest.

Mrs. Ji is cutting cloth with her old grandma. March is over and summer is coming so quickly. It will be too late if we don’t start making summer shirts now.

She said: "Don't worry about those people, all they see is your dowry. Bah! I think you are a money-giving boy!"

Mingwei smiled, sat with Zhuer, and helped Dong with her needlework.

"Mom, you can't say that." Ms. Dong said, "Regardless of wealth, my cousin is also a first-class talent! If they don't look down on my cousin, they are blind."

Mrs. Ji thought about it: "That's true."

Mr. Dong continued to ask: "Cousin, what do you think?"

"What do you think?"

Pearl interrupted: "Aunt, I want to ask you who you want to marry."

Ming smiled slightly and pinched her tender cheek: "Zhu'er still knows how to get married? Do you know what it means?"

"Just like mom and dad!" Pearl said, "Eat together, sleep together, and have a few more babies."

Mingwei laughed.

Ms. Dong also laughed: "You girl, you really know a lot."

"That's right." Pearl looked very proud, "I also know that there is a baby in my mother's belly. I don't know if it is a younger brother or a younger sister."

Mingwei looked at Dong in surprise.

Ms. Dong was a little embarrassed: "Yue is still young, and I don't know when this girl heard it."

"This is such a great joy."

Pearl is already five years old, and her eldest cousin is in his mid-twenties, so someone else would have been worried.

The topic went round and round, and Mrs. Ji brought it back again: "Xiao Qi, what do you think about this matter? If you say something, we will have an idea."

Ming smiled, knowing that they wanted to explore his words.

The marriage is called off here, is there any drama over there? If so, it’s best to prepare early.

She said: "It's hard to say now, after all, there is a difference in status."

Ms. Dong nodded. Before that person returned to the sect, the gap was already big enough, but with his current identity, it was even more mismatched.

Although Ji Xiaowu broke off his marriage after becoming a monk, so it is not a scandal, but it is not always pleasant to talk about marriage with a woman who has broken off her marriage.

Mrs. Ji said: "You must never be willing to take a step back just because of the difference in status. No matter what status he is, with that difference, he is no longer a human being."

Mingwei replied: "This is natural."

Mrs. Ji sighed: "I don’t know how many times your uncle regretted letting your mother marry into a high family. As a result... we don’t seek glory and wealth, we just want peace and happiness."

Mingwei didn’t say much. Had she not been forced by the situation, she would have never planned to marry. Now it's just a status and it will take a few years. If it works out, I won't be afraid of anything in a few years. If it doesn't work out, then let's finish it together.

By the way, I need to find an opportunity to explore my eldest cousin’s tone and see if he wants to go out and avoid the limelight.

……

The emperor is also thinking about this matter.

Yang Shu is already this age and is still a bachelor, so he can't justify it.

This kid has always made it clear what he is thinking.

If he didn't know the inside story, he would just agree. A legitimate wife with no family background is what he feels most at ease with.

But the information from Ying was enough to show that the woman was not simple.

First, the Tianshen Mountain was turned into a river of blood, and then he returned safely after being chased by Su Tu for thousands of miles. Then, on the gravel slope, he just used mystical magic to find a way out.

To be honest, she laid the foundation for Beihu to be pacified.

Can a lady from a noble family, no matter how high her family background is, be able to match this ability?

That was the result of opening up new territories, and it was no longer on the same level.

But this guy made a preemptive strike. As soon as he said that he wanted to get engaged, he let it out first, saying that he had a sweetheart.

High-ranking officials and dignitaries~IndoMTL.com~Who is so shameless and eager to make others uncomfortable?

Coupled with Concubine Pei’s repeated requests...

The emperor will definitely not agree, he just wants to find some reason...

With a thought in his mind, he ordered his chamberlain: "Invite the Imperial Master to come into the palace."

Xuanfei is angry now.

The reason is this.

After the plot was finished that night, Mingwei came over to see him.

When Xuan Fei saw her, he got angry first and asked: "How to remove that secret technique?"

Mingwei blinked: "What did the Master say? Oh, I don't know about that secret technique either!"

Xuan Fei said angrily: "Don't go too far. I've helped you do everything you promised, but you cheated on me?"

"How can this be called a trap!" Ming smiled and chanted, "This secret technique is just another way for us to sense each other's danger. Isn't it great? I can sense you, and so can you. It’s fair to me!”

Xuan Fei sneered.

Fair? It sounds like it is, but this secret skill belongs to her! She had long been practicing calmly, and she could perceive very little. Instead, she felt a sense of crisis from time to time, feeling that she could not hide her thoughts at all.

It felt so bad, as if I had no clothes on, and she was looking at everything.

"You're too nervous," Mingwei comforted him, "First of all, you see, what it can sense are vague emotions. Only when both parties have strong and consistent intentions can they share some scenes. Those fragments, It's not enough to cause the memory to be leaked. As long as you stay calm, I won't be able to spy on you. On the contrary, once you are in danger, I will be able to sense it and carry out rescue. To be honest, if you are not someone who can meet the conditions for practicing secret arts Very little, and I don’t want to waste it on you."
