The cannon fodder just wants to survive until the end

Ming Huaixi came back to his senses when he heard Pei Zhi's words.

"I want to ask why Master Pei Zhi wants to marry me? You and I have only met once. Although I think I am not ugly, there is no comparison with Master Pei Zhi. Moreover, my family background is not as good as Master Pei Zhi, and my talent is not well-known. I can't understand how an ordinary person like me can catch your eye." Ming Huaixi heard Pei Zhi's direct question and did not hesitate to ask the doubts in his heart.

"Do you know Master Liaoran?" Pei Zhi asked instead of answering.

"Of course I have heard of Master Ran's name." Ming Huaixi was a little confused, wondering what this question had to do with Master Ran.

"Master Liaoran and I are close friends. Master Liaoran once said that I was born to be a widower and would never marry. If I did marry, it would bring disaster to her family. But three months ago, I met Master Liaoran by chance while on a business trip. The master said that my fate has changed and you would be my wife in the future." Pei Zhi explained the reason.

"I didn't expect that you are a person who believes in fate." Ming Huaixi couldn't expect that this was the reason.

"I can promise you that when you marry me in the future, I will only have you, no matter whether we have children in the future." Pei Zhi made a promise.

"How do you know that I must marry you? What if I don't want to marry you?" This promise was bullshit to Ming Huaixi. Ming Huaixi never believed in empty promises. Everything had a price.

"If you don't want to marry me, we probably wouldn't have met today. You've already made up your mind, right?" Pei Zhi knew that if Ming Huaixi disagreed, she could just let someone reject her directly and she would never see him again.

"Yes, I agree to marry you, but I am still young, so I can only get engaged first. I will get married at least after my brother gets married. You don't have any objection to this, right?" Ming Huaixi knew that Pei Zhi was right, so she didn't hesitate and expressed her thoughts.

"Of course I have no objection. That's how it should be." Pei Zhi shook his head and replied without objection.

After the banquet that day, Ming Huaixi separated from Pei Zhi. They had not yet settled down, and it was not good for the two of them to stay together for too long.

After the banquet, Ming Huaixi returned home and told the elders in her family that she agreed to marry Pei Zhi. She also said that Pei Zhi might send someone to exchange the engagement letter in the next two days. She also said that they would get engaged first, and they would get married after Ming Huaijin got married.

The elders didn’t know what Ming Huaixi had said to Pei Zhi, but seeing that Ming Huaixi didn’t look unhappy after returning, they just let her be.

It was at this time that Grandpa and Grandma Ming found out about this. Before that, Uncle and Father Ming were wondering whether this matter would succeed or not, so they didn't tell Grandpa and Grandma Ming, to save them from worrying about the affairs of the younger generation at such an old age.

When Ming Huaijin got engaged, he found out that his sister had been promised to someone else so early. He was extremely unwilling and did not like Pei Zhi, his brother-in-law.

However, no matter how reluctant he was, Ming Huaijin did not behave too rudely. After all, if nothing unexpected happened, this man would live with Ming Huaixi for the rest of his life. It would be bad if Pei Zhi made his sister suffer because of his rudeness at this time.

After the engagement, Huai Xi said goodbye to Pei Zhi and returned to Xiaohe Village with her grandparents.

In fact, after living in his uncle's house for such a long time, he was originally going to go back to Xiaohe Village. It happened that the work here was finished, so Ming Huaixi went back with him. Ming Huaijin did not go back this time because he was studying in the academy.

After returning to Xiaohe Village, Ming Huaixi took some time to go to the county embroidery workshop to collect the share of the previous cooperation, and explained that she would leave and would not come back.

The owner of the embroidery workshop knew that Ming Huaixi would stay in the provincial capital in the future, so he converted the previous patterns into silver and gave them all to Huaixi.

Huaixi had dealt with the store a lot before, and his tricks also brought a lot of revenue to the store. Now that Huaixi is leaving, the boss will not make things difficult for him.

Huaixi stayed at home for two months, and then her uncle sent someone to take her back. When she got engaged, her aunt gave the garment shop under her name to Huaixi.

Huaixi didn't want to accept it at first, but her aunt said that girls should have something in their hands when they get married, so this was what her aunt was originally going to give to Huaixi in the future.

Huai Xi finally accepted it. When Pei Zhi gave the betrothal gift, he also privately gave Huai Xi two shops in Chaoyang City. Now Huai Xi is also a wealthy woman.

Ming Huaixi still lived in his uncle's house, learning how to be a housekeeper and manage the shop with his aunt and cousin.

When he has nothing to do, he goes out to check on the shops and go shopping with his cousin. Ming Huaixi doesn't want to change anything about those shops. Ming Huaixi doesn't know how to manage shops and won't make decisions in areas he is not good at.

In a blink of an eye, it was October, and it was time for Ming Huaijing to get married. The man Ming Huaijing was going to marry was of equal status to her uncle Ming's family, both of them were wealthy businessmen.

The wealthy businessman's surname was Li. Ming Huaijing was going to marry Li Chengjue, the second son of the Li family. He was a very ambitious man. There was no regulation in this dynasty that restricted the sons of merchants from taking imperial examinations. Li Chengjue had passed the examination to become a scholar before and was preparing to take the academy examination next year.
