Chapter 331 Pear Blossoms Bring Rain
"I went to ask my mother for help, but she has no say in this matter. My father has always made the decisions on major family matters." Zhou Lingfei almost cried as she spoke.
"I just want to ask you, can crying solve the problem? If it can, then cry as hard as you can. Otherwise, then don't cry. You are a grown-up." Li Xiaoxiao frowned and said unhappily.
Sure enough, seeing Li Xiaoxiao like this, Zhou Lingfei timidly held back her tears, and tears welled up in her eyes, looking like a tearful face.
She is pretty to begin with, and now she looks like she's about to cry, which makes her even more adorable. It's a pity that Li Xiaoxiao is a girl, otherwise he would definitely fall in love with her. No wonder Nie Junfeng wants to marry her.
She has a good family background and is pretty, so who wouldn't be attracted to her? And she is the only daughter of the Censorate, so I believe she must come with a dowry. Just based on this point, I don't know how many people she will attract.
Marquis Dingguo also has the conditions to compete with other competitors. His status in the court is similar to that of the Censorate. The marriage between the two families can be considered a good match. This must be the main reason why the Censor wants to marry Marquis Dingguo.
But he didn't know that Zhou Lingfei already had a lover, who was a famous young talent in Beijing. The most important thing now was how to stop this.
Not to mention that Zhou Lingfei looked down on Nie Junfeng, even Li Xiaoxiao looked down on him at all. Yesterday she asked Si Yi whether the silver had been delivered. Si Yi said no, but she did not go to Dingguo Marquis Mansion to ask him for it.
"You are one year younger than me and you are not that old. I wonder why your father is so anxious to marry you off? Do you like Gu Feiyan? I don't know if he likes you or not?"
Li Xiaoxiao was very worried about this matter, but in fact she was still very optimistic about these two people. The handsome man and the pretty woman were a perfect match standing together.
"My father is always worried that I won't be able to get married, so he is in a hurry to marry me off, but I really don't like Nie Junfeng." Zhou Lingfei said in annoyance.
"Can you calm him down first, and then I'll give you and Gu Feiyan a chance to be a hero and save the beauty, and see if he has you in his heart." Li Xiaoxiao pondered for a moment.
"Is this okay?" Zhou Lingfei's face immediately turned red, and she said awkwardly.
"Why not? The situation is urgent now. If you keep hesitating, you'll just have to wait to put on your wedding dress and marry Nie Junfeng." This young lady is still blushing at this time. I really admire her.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. Although my mother can't make the decision, she can still postpone this matter." Zhou Lingfei's face turned red when she thought of what Li Xiaoxiao had just said.
"Okay, now that the weather is warmer, why don't I call Gu Feiyan, my cousin, and you tomorrow, and we'll go to the east of the city to go boating. What do you think?" Li Xiaoxiao thought about it.
"Okay, then let's go tomorrow." Thinking about what might happen tomorrow, Zhou Lingfei couldn't help but feel excited, sweeping away her just-depressed mood.
When Zhou Lingfei returned to the Censorate, she hurried to find her mother and said that she had not yet decided whether to get married, and asked her mother to postpone the matter for a few days.
The censor's wife has only one daughter, who has been spoiled since she was a child. Knowing that her daughter was unhappy, she naturally agreed. Nie Junfeng's reputation is not very good, but don't all men have three wives and four concubines?
Besides, she had said that she would not take concubines in the future. She was the only mistress of the house, and her family background was also a good match, so the censor's wife was somewhat in favor of this matter.
The next morning, Zhou Lingfei dressed up beautifully and went out to find Li Xiaoxiao. She couldn't stop being happy when she knew that Li Xiaoxiao intended to match her with Gu Feiyan today.
When she arrived at the door of Si's house, Gu Feiyan happened to be there too. Zhou Lingfei suppressed her joy and only felt her heart pounding violently.
From the first moment she saw Gu Feiyan, she inexplicably had a liking for him. Later, she asked about him from other sources many times, and her joy for him could be said to be deepening day by day.
Although Gu Feiyan ranked second in the capital, in her eyes, he was truly number one, and no one could shake him.
At the same time, Gu Feiyan also saw Zhou Lingfei and nodded to her from a few steps away. Zhou Lingfei only felt her heart beating faster.
She lowered her head slightly and saluted him, but did not dare to get too close to him, for fear that he would hear her heartbeat.
After just one glance at her, Gu Feiyan turned his head to look elsewhere. A trace of loneliness flashed across Zhou Lingfei's face, but she quickly covered it up.
Then he stood there and took a few deep breaths, then took small steps towards Gu Feiyan, with what he thought was the most beautiful smile on his face.
"Mr. Gu came very early today."
"Well, I had nothing to do, so I went out early. It would be a waste if I couldn't appreciate such a beautiful spring scenery." Gu Feiyan had a faint smile on his face. He looked gentle, but he felt alienated from everyone and consciously kept a certain distance.
This realization made Zhou Lingfei feel a little sad. She tried hard to keep a smile on her face and said, "Yes, it must be beautiful to go boating in such weather."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xiaoxiao and Si Chengxu walked over together. The man was tall, handsome, and had a handsome face that exuded awe. The woman had a slim figure and outstanding looks. The two of them looked very well matched walking together.
Li Xiaoxiao saw the two people standing at the door from a distance and said with a smile: "You two really have a tacit understanding. If someone didn't know, I would think you came here together."
"No, it's just a coincidence." Zhou Lingfei said while secretly glancing at Gu Feiyan.
"No matter what it is, you all got here together. Let's not talk about it anymore. Let's set off now." General Li saw Zhou Lingfei's little movements and his eyes turned into crescents when he smiled.
The four of them traveled together, and Li Xiaoxiao specially found a luxurious carriage. The four of them sat in it without feeling crowded at all. In order to create an opportunity for Zhou Lingfei, Li Xiaoxiao deliberately chose to sit on the left side of the carriage with Si Chengxu, and Zhou Lingfei and Gu Feiyan sat together on the right side of the carriage.
It can be seen that Zhou Lingfei really likes Gu Feiyan. She is just sitting there with a blushing face and a shy look.
The few of them soon arrived at the east of the city. The lake covered a large area. When they arrived, there were already two or three pleasure boats on the lake.
There are pleasure boats for rent at the pier, and many are bought by wealthy families for their families to go out and have fun.
Zhou Lingfei loves to play, so her family bought a boat and parked it here.
Several people quickly got on the pleasure boat. As it was bought only last year, it looked very new, with carved beams and painted buildings. Standing on the deck, facing the wind, the breeze touched their faces, and the tip of their noses was filled with the scent of spring.
"The scenery here is really nice. After a while, when there are green mountains and clear water, I will find an opportunity to come again."
