The cannon fodder just wants to survive until the end

After Ming Huaixi moved into her uncle's house, apart from occasionally talking to her aunt, asking her cousin to embroider for her, and sometimes going shopping with her cousin, she lived a very comfortable life.

My cousin is a little older than Ming Huaijin and has not yet married. Ming Huaijin has been delayed because of his studies.

Ming Huairui was not a good student. He only went to a private school, learned a few words, and stopped studying after he understood the principles. However, Ming Huairui was very good at business. Now the Ming family not only runs a restaurant business, but also involves other businesses.

The uncle basically began to let Ming Huairui take charge of some of the Ming family's businesses. Except for checking the major matters, Ming Huairui took over all the minor matters.

Although Ming Huairui is not married, he has a fiancée. The reason for the delay was because someone in his fiancée's family passed away. His fiancée's grandmother died three years ago.

If this hadn't happened, Ming Huairui would have gotten married a year ago. His fiancée had a good relationship with his grandmother and wanted to observe three years of mourning for her, so she discussed with the Ming family and decided to get married three years later. The children of both families were young, so the Ming family naturally agreed.

Now is the last year of mourning for my fiancée, and as soon as the mourning period is over, we will discuss the marriage arrangements.

Ming Huairui has a very good relationship with his fiancée, and he often visits her on weekdays.

When Ming Huaixi was bored at his great aunt's house, he studied patterns. One day, his great aunt saw that Huaixi's patterns were novel, so she asked Huaixi to supply them to her own clothing shop. For every piece of clothing with this pattern sold, she would give Huaixi a certain share.

Originally Huai Xi was just doing this for fun, but the clothes in the store turned out to be very popular and Huai Xi got a large share of the profits. She couldn't help but sigh that there are more rich people in big cities.

Huaixi has been living in her uncle's house for five months, and her brother has gone to the famous Huaiting Academy in Chaoyang City to study and prepare for the next year's imperial examination.

It was only September when we came here, but now the New Year has passed and it has quickly become warmer.

My cousin’s wedding date is scheduled for March this year, and my uncle has already sent someone to pick up Ming’s grandparents and Ming’s father and mother.

My cousin has also decided to get married to the second son of a wealthy businessman, and the wedding date is set for October this year.

Ming Huairui's wedding was very lively. All the wealthy businessmen who were on good terms with the Ming family came to congratulate him, and the prefect of Chaoyang City also sent a gift.

The prefect was born into a prominent family in the capital, and was transferred to Huai County to serve as the county magistrate to accumulate political achievements. At that time, Uncle Ming was engaged in running around for business, and during one delivery, he happened to encounter the county magistrate's carriage which lost control and killed him.

At first, the county magistrate only wanted to repay the life-saving grace, but later, as they got to know each other better, he found that Uncle Ming was more and more in line with his temperament, and slowly he treated him as a close brother. Uncle Ming's business in Chaoyang City was able to grow so much thanks to the prefect.

In addition to the prefect's son who came to Ming Huairui's wedding to deliver gifts, there was also a young man of extraordinary bearing who came along to deliver gifts.

When everyone saw that the prefect's son treated someone so respectfully, they knew that this person must be an important person, and they all became more careful about their words and actions. Fortunately, the man only came with the prefect's son to deliver gifts and did not stay for long.

My cousin's wife is a very easy-going person, and Huai Xi never feels uncomfortable when she is with her. One day, my uncle and aunt suddenly called Huai Xi over, and Ming's father and mother were also in the room.

After Ming Huairui got married, his grandparents and his parents had not returned yet. His uncle tried his best to keep them, and finally they decided to stay for a few more days before returning.

"Xiao Xi, I called you here this time because I want to ask for your opinion on something." Aunt looked at Huai Xi and said.

"What's the matter? Tell me." Huai Xi glanced at Ming's mother and saw that something seemed to be wrong with her. It didn't seem like a happy thing, nor a bad thing.

"Do you remember the young man who came with the prefect's son to your cousin's wedding that day?" Aunt asked Huai Xi.

"Remember"

"The prefect's wife came to our house as a guest yesterday. She mentioned that young man many times and also asked if you were married. She wanted to introduce you to that young man." The aunt picked up the tea on the table and took two sips to calm down.

"I also asked the prefect's wife about that man's situation. That man is Pei Zhi. He is the son of the prefect's third uncle. Their branch moved to the south of the Yangtze River. Pei Zhi likes to do business. Last year, he helped the emperor on a secret visit. Now he is a favorite in the eyes of the emperor. Everyone knows that the emperor is behind him. Pei Zhi's parents went to sea and disappeared two years ago. No one knows whether they are alive or dead. Now he has taken a fancy to you. If you don't want to, I will ask someone to reject him." The aunt told Huai Xi about the matter.

"Xiao Xi, think about it carefully. If you don't want to, no one can force you." The uncle followed.

"Xiao Xi, it's okay whatever you choose. If you don't want to, just refuse them and go home with your parents." Ming's father and mother also expressed their opinions.

"Mom and Dad, Uncle, Aunt, can you please let me go back to my room and think about it carefully? I'll tell you when I'm sure." Huai Xi didn't expect to have to face the issue of marriage so early. Although Huai Xi had prepared to get married before, she was a little overwhelmed at this moment.
