Chapter 2663 2665 [The moon is round and people are rounder]

  When I got there, I saw that the huge restaurant had been booked by Xiang Nan.

   Apart from the two of them, there were no other guests in the restaurant.

  All the electric lights were turned off and replaced with candles, red roses were placed everywhere, and the Western violinist played music...the atmosphere was elegant and romantic.

  Bai Xiuzhu fell in love with her when she saw her.

   "Do you like it?" Xiang Nan stepped forward, held her hand, and came to the dining table, and then a gentleman helped her open the chair and sit down.

   "I like it." Bai Xiuzhu nodded.

  Xiang Nan smiled, then took out the diamond ring from his pocket, knelt down on one knee and said loudly, "Dear Miss Bai Xiuzhu, will you marry me?"

   "I am willing~" Bai Xiuzhu was very happy when she heard it, and nodded immediately.

  Xiang Nan then put the ring on her finger, got up and kissed her deeply.

   At this moment, the lights in the restaurant were lit together, followed by warm applause.

   Jin Quan and his wife, Jin Fengju and his wife, Jin Hesun and his wife, Jin Pengzhen and his wife, Jin Minzhi, Jin Runzhi, Jin Meili, the second concubine, the third concubine, Bai Xiongqi and others all came out from the back kitchen with smiles.

   "Aiya~" When Bai Xiuzhu saw it, she was immediately ashamed.

  Xiang Nan accepted everyone's blessings generously.

  …

   "Okay, Yanxi, since you have proposed to Xiuzhu, you must treat her well in the future." Jin Quan instructed, ""Book of Rites" says: The way of a gentleman is to cultivate one's self, govern one's family, rule the country and the world.

  You're going to be twenty soon, not a kid anymore. In the future, you should practice the way of a gentleman, and always remind yourself not to act recklessly. "

   "Yes, father, my son will follow your instruction." Xiang Nan nodded.

"The Prime Minister's words are really strategic and thought-provoking." Bai Xiongqi patted his ass, and then told Bai Xiuzhu, "Xiuzhu, you have accepted Yanxi's marriage proposal, and you will be an adult in the future. Don't do anything willful. You must know how to be filial to your parents-in-law, and teach your husband and children."

   "Yes, brother." Bai Xiuzhu also nodded.

   Then everyone sat down, shared delicious food and wine, and laughed.

   While chatting and laughing, the wedding date of Xiang Nan and Bai Xiuzhu was also set on August 16th, which means "the moon is rounder and the person is rounder", so it is only two months.

  …

  In the next few days, both the Jin family and the Bai family began to arrange for Xiang Nan and Bai Xiuzhu's marriage.

  Although today is not like ancient times, there are three books and six rituals, but the Jinbai family is a big family after all, and many procedures and ceremonies still have to go through.

   Seeing how busy the whole house is, everyone is beaming, but Xiao Lian can't help feeling sad.

  Although she is now the default aunt, but after all, it has not been implemented, has no status, and is still just a maid in name.

  If the new young mistress can't tolerate her, she will be driven away at that time. And she had heard a long time ago that Miss Bai was a very savage and willful person, and she treated Seventh Young Master submissively, so she was very worried about her future.

   "Xiao Lian, are you asleep?" Xiang Nan raised his voice and asked.

   "Seventh Young Master, what are your orders?" Xiao Lian hurried to the study.

   "I don't have any instructions, I just want to talk to you." Xiang Nan looked at her and smiled.

  Looking at his smiling face, Xiao Lian blushed for no reason.

   "Sit down." Xiang Nan pointed to the sofa and said.

   "No need, Seventh Young Master, I can just stand up." Xiao Lian waved his hand.

   "Sit down, let's talk." Xiang Nan took her hand and sat down.

  Xiao Lian couldn't help being a little nervous and shy.

   "Xiao Lian, I noticed that you have been listless and not in high spirits the past few days. Is it because I am getting married?" Xiang Nan asked.

   "No, no, Seventh Young Master, it's too late for me to be happy for you." Xiao Lian quickly denied.

   "Xiao Lian, don't rush to deny it, I understand your thoughts." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "You are worried that you won't get along with the young mistress, and you are worried that you will have no status at home, am I right?"

  Xiao Lian was stunned when she heard it. She didn't expect Xiang Nan to understand her, she was like a roundworm in her stomach.

"Actually, you don't have to worry. Although Xiuzhu is a bit unruly, she comes from a rich family after all, and she is not the kind of person with a small belly." Xiang Nan comforted her, "And with me by my side, I will always protect you and will not let you be wronged. "

   "Thank you Seventh Young Master." Xiao Lian was very moved.

"You have come to Jinfu with your sister-in-law for so many years, and the two of us have grown up together. The time we spend together is actually no shorter than Xiuzhu and I." Xiang Nan said again, "I naturally have feelings for you, so don't worry, I don't care. It will make you without name or distinction, and stay with me forever."

   "Yeah." Hearing what he said, Xiao Lian was even more moved.

  Xiang Nan immediately embraced her, bowed his head and kissed her.

  Xiao Lian was taken aback for a moment, and planned to break free, but Xiang Nan hugged her too tightly, she struggled for a while to no avail, so she had no choice but to sink into it.

  …

   Two days later, Jin Meili received an invitation from a classmate to be a bridesmaid.

  Although she couldn't save face, she agreed at the time, but after thinking about it, it was quite difficult.

   Firstly, the little girl’s family is unavoidably shy; secondly, she doesn’t know the family she is getting married with, so she wants to find someone to embolden her.

   "Brother Seven, just let Xiao Lian accompany me." Jin Meili came to beg Xiang Nandao.

  Xiang Nan knew that Xiao Lian and Liu Chunjiang met at the wedding of the He family, and from then on, they started a relationship, and finally ended up with the fate of one dying and one becoming a monk, so he waved his hand resolutely.

   "This matter is not appropriate." He flatly refused.

   "Why?" Jin Meili was puzzled.

"It's not obvious. Most of the wedding venues are young people, and they are all of Mu Shaoai's age. Xiao Lian is so handsome, she will definitely attract mad bees and butterflies." Xiang Nan explained, "She grew up in the mansion. She grew up in the middle school and has not been deeply involved in the world, so how can she know how to distinguish between the real and the fake. Some people's hypocrisy can make her confused and infatuated. At that time, what should I do if there is trouble?"

  During the period of the Republic of China, the demolition of the White Party was rampant, and it specifically targeted the wealthy women's family members to lure them. They will investigate in advance to understand the target's identity, background, wealth, preferences, etc., and then seduce them according to their preferences.

  Because most of the rich women’s families at that time were raised in deep boudoirs and had little contact with the society, so they were simple-minded and unguarded, and were often hit by people at the first blow, and then cheated money and sex.

  Newspapers, magazines, and even social circles often have similar scandals.

   "The Xia family and the Wei family are decent people, and there will be no such thing." Jin Meili quickly defended upon hearing this.

   "If you say no, you just can't." Xiang Nan said resolutely, "There are so many students in your school, just take one of them to accompany you."

   "Oh, Brother Seven, please." Jin Meili said relentlessly, "Xiao Lian also wants to go, don't you think so, Xiao Lian?"

   "Huh? I..." Xiao Lian panicked for a while.

  Actually, she mainly heard that the He family had invited the most famous opera troupe in the capital to sing for their wedding, so she wanted to join in the fun with Mei Li.

   But hearing what Xiang Nan said, it makes sense. Her current status is not as good as usual, she is already the default concubine, and it is not suitable for her to go out and show her face.
