Chapter 1055: The Man Comes Riding on a Bamboo Horse (44)
"Which father?" Xue Yuan asked curiously. After all, Xue Yao had not called the servant uncle just now.
The servant didn't seem to expect Xue Yuan to ask such a question, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer.
"When I was very young, my father told me that he was not my biological father!" Xue Yuan saw that the other party did not dare to answer, so he started to explain, "Although I have never seen my biological father,
But my father said that he brought me into this world, and I can't forget him!"
At this point, Xue Yuan smiled and said, "Actually, I've seen a portrait of my biological father. It's in my father's room, so you know what kind of person my father is in your eyes."
"Mr. Lu is a good man, a very, very good man!" The servant Ah Qi seemed to have other words to describe Lu Qing.
Xue Yuan was stunned for a moment before saying anything else. Seeing that it was getting late and the couple who had gone out for a drink had not returned yet, Xue Yuan asked, "Do you have a place to stay in Yanzhou City? If not, how about Uncle Qi, come home with me first?"
Their destination was Yuan's house, but what would it mean if he went back alone?
After thinking about it, Ah Qi followed Xue Yuan back to the Xue family.
It’s just that the blacksmith shop is not very far from the Xue family, but Ah Qi followed Xue Yuan and walked around for several times to buy a bag of things, but he didn’t rush home.
"Young Master Xue, I see you're almost out of food. Do you want me to get you some?" Ah Qi said to Xue Yuan.
"No, no! We'll be there soon!" Xue Yuan waved his hand.
Nonsense, we are almost at the Ning family’s door. I have carried it all the way here, and if I let someone else carry it for the last few steps, wouldn’t all my hard work be in vain?
Just as they were thinking about it, the two of them had already arrived at the door of Ning's house.
Ah Qi looked left and right, and always felt that this did not seem to be the Xue family's house.
"Uncle Qi, please call the door. I'm holding all these things and my hands are tied!" Xue Yuan asked Qi to do him a favor.
Although Ah Qi didn't know what Xue Yuan was up to, he still nodded in agreement.
Ning Xiu came out soon. Seeing his future brother-in-law standing outside with lots of bags, he felt helpless. "A Yuan, you buy things and send them here every day. Do you have enough money to spend?"
"Brother Ning, I don't spend any money. I have everything I need at home!" Xue Yuan looked behind Ning Xiu, "Why are you alone? Where's Ning Yun?"
Alas! Xue Yuan felt a little depressed that he couldn't call his beloved by her nickname in front of Ning Xiu.
"You little brat, before we got engaged, you called my sister Sister Ning. It's only been a short time now! And you've already changed your name to Ning Yun!" Ning Xiu patted Xue Yuan's shoulder. "Honestly, my sister told me to tell you just now, don't buy her things all the time. Let you save money when you have it."
"Okay! I'll listen to her!" Although he said so, his hands moved very quickly. Xue Yuan stuffed all the things into Ning Xiu's hands. "Brother Ning, please give these things to Ning Yun."
Knowing that Xue Yuan was kind to his sister, Ning Xiu coughed lightly and whispered, "It seems like tomorrow is the day to sell almond tea again. I'll go there in the morning!"
Xue Yuan's eyes lit up after hearing this. He thanked Ning Xiu repeatedly before turning around and leaving.
Ning Xiu watched the other person walk a distance away before entering the house. Ning Yun, who was supposed to be in the room, was hiding by the door.
In fact, from the moment Ning Xiu left the house, he knew his sister must be hiding somewhere to peek, so he wasn't surprised at all when she discovered him. He even pressed the thing in his hand into Ning Yun's: "Here! Xue Yuan asked me to give it to you!"
"Thank you, brother!" Ning Yun returned to her room with the things in her hands.
As for Xue Yuan, Ah Qi asked curiously, "Young Master Xue, that young master just mentioned..."
"What did you mention? Are you engaged?" Xue Yuan said frankly, "I am engaged, but Sese is not yet of marriageable age. I have to wait for several more years if I want to marry her!" Xue Yuan introduced his fiancée with a smile.
They were both talking!
I saw a group of people gathered around the government office notice board in front.
"What's going on?" Xue Yuan asked a person who was walking over there.
The man wasn't annoyed at being stopped, but instead replied warmly, "The government office just issued a notice that all unmarried and unengaged girls between the ages of twelve and sixteen must participate in the selection. The government office will compile a list of eligible girls in the next few days."
"The capital has already gone through two rounds of selection, and the trend has only just reached here!" Ah Qi sighed, "After the first round of selection, those with good family backgrounds either stayed in the harem or were betrothed to princes and nobles by the current emperor.
The second group selected were commoners, most of whom stayed in the palace to serve as maids."
Just as Xue Yuan was about to say something, he was stopped by someone who suddenly appeared and said, "Young man, are you married? My daughter is only fifteen years old. Would you like her to be your wife?"
