"Nonsense!" Lin Wenhui's voice was a bit urgent, and he disagreed with Kefu's statement.

"I'm afraid of delaying my girl."

"Second uncle, you think too much." Lin Lixia tugged on Lin Wenhui's sleeve and took a few steps away.

"Second uncle, Luo Haichang is a genius. He will not marry his unwilling niece to our family. Maybe Miss Luo has already liked you!"

"Have you known me for a long time?" Lin Wenhui's tone revealed a bit of joy, and his eyes were a bit unsure.

There are too many girls in his family, and the girl’s brother-in-law is still the county magistrate of Qingyang City. How can he fall in the eyes of other girls?

"Second uncle, it's good to get married with two surnames!" Lin Lixia saw that Lin Wenhui was not confident and patiently tried to enlighten Lin Wenhui.

"Luo Haichang and Miss Luo are interested in the future of our family. If you are afraid of letting down this girl, you should study hard."

"Second uncle, if you can pass the imperial examination all the way to Jinshi, Miss Luo will be the wife of an official. It will be better than the green lantern and the ancient Buddha in the rest of your life, right?"

Lin Wenhui nodded, feeling a little relieved, and looked at Luo Junlan with a bit of expectation.

"Second uncle, where are you looking?" Lin Lixia pointed at Luo Zisu, who was squatting on the ground and reading a book intoxicatedly. "The two boxes of books next to brother Zisu are all from the palace library..."

"The palace library?" Lin Wenhui's eyes widened in surprise: "Xia Xia, second uncle will pick out a book first, and then take Miss Luo to the bookstore."

"Yes!" Lin Lixia laughed: "If my second uncle can pass the exam and marry Miss Luo, I will definitely make Miss Luo marry well and gain face in her parents' family."

"This matter is not urgent!" Lin Wenhui blushed: "We will wait until your eldest brother gets married!"

"That's natural!" Lin Lixia saw that Lin Wenhui was shy and caught the conversation with a smile.

"When my eldest brother marries Sister Jin, I will leave it to Sister Jin to worry about your marriage to my second aunt."

Lin Wenhui was a little uncomfortable. Lin Wenhui coughed slightly and changed the subject.

"Xia Xia, is there anything else you want your second uncle to do about your eldest brother's marriage?"

"Not yet! Mother Zhuang and Sister Jin are busy." Lin Lixia looked in Luo Junlan's direction.

"Second uncle, you are responsible for studying hard and entertaining Miss Luo at the same time."

"Miss Lin, fortunately you have fulfilled your destiny. The white jade branches have been carved."

Feng Suiying walked over lightly, holding a stack of mahogany boxes in his hands.

He placed the boxes on the table and opened the first box.

"Miss Lin, this is your eldest brother and sister-in-law's pair of white jade branches."

Lin Lixia's eyes flashed with surprise.

In the box, the white jade is pure in texture and finely carved.

The design of the white jade connected branches is ingenious and unique, showing the shape of two trees. The branches are intertwined with each other and the leaves are nestled against each other, forming a perfect whole.

It symbolizes the husband and wife's commitment to support each other, never give up, and rush into the future together.

Lin Lixia opened the back and saw the words "brocade" and "winter" on the two jade pendants. She smiled and raised the corners of her mouth slightly.

"General Feng, this white jade branch is beautifully carved. Can you recommend this carving master to me?"

"...Okay!" Feng Suiying readily agreed.

He lived next door to the Lin family, so he naturally knew Lin Lixia's plans and had already made arrangements.

"However, there is something that I would like to ask Miss Lin to forgive me for."

Lin Lixia raised her eyes and looked at Feng Suiying's serious expression.

She was stunned for a moment: "What's the matter, such a serious expression?"

Feng Suiying opened a box and handed it to Lin Lixia.

"When I was looking for someone to carve a pair of white jade branches, I had a selfish motive to carve a pair of white jade branches using my master's name and Miss Lin's name."

"Then what?" Lin Lixia could tell from Feng Suiying's twinkling eyes that there was something else.

"I lost a jade pendant." Feng Suiying said with a guilty look on his face: "Please punish me, girl."

"Which piece is missing?" Lin Lixia looked at Feng Suiying intently.

Feng Suiying felt guilty and said in a low voice: "I lost the piece with 'Xia' engraved on the back."

"...General Feng, we plain people don't speak secretly." Lin Lixia sneered: "I guess you gave the jade pendant to Lu Jishen."

"The girl found out!" Feng Suiying said calmly.

"If you want to take back your jade pendant, girl, please keep it safe. After you come to Beijing, you can find the master to exchange it in person."

Lin Lixia held her forehead for a moment, wondering where did the chicken kidney come from, so many loyal subordinates.

He even worries about his master’s marriage.

"General Feng, if you give the jade pendant to your master, you won't be afraid of incurring the revenge of the Eighth Princess."

Feng Suiying blurted out: "The eighth princess's marriage has been decided, and she is Gu Shiming, a descendant of Gu Rongshan."

"Your master was abandoned?" Lin Lixia's face was filled with astonishment.

I don't understand. How did this change happen so quickly?

"You will understand the merits of this when Miss Lin comes to Beijing." Feng Suiying said it very implicitly.

"Furthermore, for the sake of the people of the world, my master voluntarily postpones the wedding for three years."

"..." Lin Lixia was surprised and happy, and her heart was beating unsatisfactorily.

Lu Jishen postponed the wedding for three years, and she happened to be in her 29th year. The two of them talked about marriage at the same pace.

Lu Ji Shen really doesn't have the slightest affection for the Eighth Princess?

"General Feng, your master has a close relationship with the Eighth Princess. Is he trying to find me the palace's books?"

"..." Feng Suiying's expression froze for a moment.

"Miss Lin, it would be more appropriate for you to ask Master this question in person."

"Ask him face to face?" Lin Lixia squeezed the white jade twig in the box and gently rubbed the "Shen" on the back of the jade pendant.

I quickly noticed something was wrong.

"General Feng, your master's real name is Lu Dingkun, and his nickname is Lu Ji Shen. Why do you only carve the word 'Shen' on it?"

Feng Suiying's heart skipped a beat, blaming him for being in a hurry to make meritorious deeds.

He actually forgot that his master hadn't confessed his identity yet, so something went wrong.

What to do?

Seeing that Feng Suiying was feeling guilty, Lin Lixia felt increasingly uneasy.

"General Feng, is your master hiding something from me?"

Feng Suiying: "..."
