Now that Duke Shao was personally teaching Xue Sanfu, their minds were naturally convinced again.
“Dongyu,” Madam Pei couldn’t help but say, “Your father and I actually want to betroth Fufu to Xue Yan’s third brother. Do you think this will work? ‘
“Why do you suddenly think so?” Pei Dongyu frowned. He had never heard his parents mention it before.
Not until today.
He couldn’t help but suspect their motives.
Master Pei smiled. “He has been personally taught by Duke Shao. He will definitely have a good future. If he is successful, won’t he help you to have a smoother career in the official duties?
“Father!” Pei Dongyu shouted. “If I, Pei Dongyu, have to rely on others to walk more smoothly in the future, then I don’t want to be an official!
“Dongyu, my boy.” Madam Pei smiled obsequiously. “Your father didn’t mean it that way. We’re all doing this for your own good. If you’re unwilling, we won’t do this. What? Don’t get mad. It’s just that Dongyu, Fufu isn’t that young anymore Even if we don’t find her a husband now, when she comes to the
Imperial Capital with us in a few days, we will still have to find her a husband.”
Pei Dongyu was starting to get a little angry. “If you plan to do this in the future, I’ll resign!’
“Of course, we won’t!” Master Pei and Madam Pei smiled. How would he dare? Their son rarely got angry. Once he got angry, he would get serious. He had already told them this. If he really had this intention, he would really resign and be like that child Xue Yan, who was useless and surrounded the countryside every day.
NO!
They could not let their son do this!
Pei Dongyu was finally appeased. He frowned and pondered for a moment before slowly saying, “It’s time for Fufu to marry… And if it’s Xue Yan’s brother, Sanfu… Then, I’ve always felt that he’s reliable. If Fufu can marry Sanfu, Sanfu will definitely treat her well. As her elder brother, I can rest assured.”
When Master Pei and Madam Pei heard this, they felt that there was still a chance for their daughter Fufu to be betrothed to Xue Sanfu. Naturally, they were happy.
However, she knew that her son was stubborn. He only thought that it would be good for Fufu if she married him. He only thought about Fufu and would not think about anything else.
Therefore, they did not dare to show their excitement too much.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t be good if their son really resigned.
Thinking of this, Master Pei said carefully, “The marriage of children has always been decided by the parents and the matchmaker. Why don’t we get the matchmaker to ask Xue Sanfu’s parents for their opinion?
“That being said,” Pei Dongyu said, “Lees ask Fufu first. Hasn’t she seen him before? Father, Mother, let’s not make it public first, lest it affects Fufu’s reputation. Our family has to think it through first. If Fufu doesn’t object to this marriage, I will secretly tell Xue Yan tomorrow. Xue Yan will then tell his brother and family. If their family is also willing, it would be most appropriate for them to propose a marriage.”
Master Pei and Madam Pei wanted to say that they were the ones who gave birth to their daughter and that it was up to them to decide. There was no need to ask for their daughter’s opinion at all. However, their son was exceptionally stubborn. He only knew what was good for their daughter and did not know how to manage his own official career… Forget it, they decided to let their son decide.
Moreover, his son was so close to Xue Yan, so it was more suitable for him to talk to Xue Yan. It would also be easier for them to matchmake this marriage. Of course, it would be better if the other side came to propose the marriage..
