The cannon fodder just wants to survive until the end

It took Ming Huaixi a while to realize after she returned to her room that she had to face the issue of getting married. In ancient times, women had to get married very early, and she would not be any different.

What should I do? Should I marry or not? If I don't marry him, he will have to marry someone else in the future. It is impossible not to marry, as it will implicate other women in the family. The family is doing better and better now, and it will be bad for her or the entire family if she doesn't marry.

As a little girl who knew nothing, she could not resist this ancient society. All she could do was to make herself live well in such an environment.

But getting married is not something that can be done casually. My uncle and aunt said that if I don't want to get married, I can just turn it down. But the other party is powerful, so it's not that easy to turn it down. No matter what, if this matter doesn't go through, there will probably be a rift between my uncle's family and the prefect.

What if Pei Zhizai is a petty person and might take the opportunity to take revenge? I don’t know what’s wrong with that man and why he likes her. She is only a 15-year-old girl and that man looks older than her brother.

At that time, that person didn't seem like a bad person at my cousin's wedding. It is very important to figure out why Pei Zhi wanted to marry her.

Ming Huaixi thought it through after returning to his room for a while. Thinking that his uncle and the others should not have left yet, he walked out of the room and went to his uncle's study.

Because they were discussing something, they didn't ask anyone to wait outside. When I walked to the door of the study, I heard my uncle and others talking about this matter before I even went in.

"If you ask Huai Xi, you should just reject her directly. I think Pei Zhi is an upright person. Besides, I have known the prefect for many years. If he were a bad person, he would not have let the prefect's wife make this trip." The uncle expressed his views in the study.

"Brother, what you said is right, but we should wait for Xiaoxi to make up her mind. Although Pei Zhi and my Xiaoxi's family backgrounds are not a good match, the magistrate's wife said that he is a good man among a hundred. It would be bad to reject him rashly. If Xiaoxi is unwilling, I will take Xiaoxi to Xiaohe Village. There are also many good men in the county." Ming's father did not want to make things difficult for his brother because of his own affairs, nor did he want his daughter to marry someone she did not want to marry, so he compromised.

"It's also because our Xiaoxi is good-looking, has a good personality, and is generous in her work, so she will never have trouble finding a husband. Huai Jin also passed the imperial examination, so she doesn't have to worry about that. If Xiaoxi doesn't want to marry Pei Zhi, she won't have trouble finding a good family." The eldest aunt also said that whether Huaixi was willing to marry Pei Zhi or not, her family would support her.

"I originally wanted to let Xiaoxi stay in the provincial capital for two years to see if there are any good families of suitable age. After Huaijin takes the imperial examination next year, I will find someone to marry for his brother, and then for Xiaoxi. It is not against the rules for Xiaoxi to get married before his brother does." Ming's mother did not want her daughter to be settled so early. Besides, she did not know Pei Zhi's background well, and his family background was much higher than hers. It would be difficult for her to seek justice if she was wronged in the future.

Ming Huaixi felt warm in his heart when he heard that this family cared so much about him.

"Uncle, aunt, mom and dad, I've thought it through. Young Master Pei Zhi is good-looking and has a good family background. This is a good marriage in the whole Chaoyang City." Ming Huaixi pushed the door open and told the elders in the family about his thoughts.

"But I want to meet Master Pei Zhi before I decide." Huai Xi added.

"It's only right to meet, but Xiaoxi, have you really thought it through? You should know that Pei Zhi's family background is much higher than ours. If you are wronged in his family in the future, even if we seek justice for you afterwards, the injustice has already been suffered." When Ming's mother heard Ming Huaixi say that she agreed to marry Pei Zhi, she suspected that Huaixi was still young and had not considered everything comprehensively.

"Yes, Xiaoxi, whether this marriage is finalized or not will not have much impact on you and your family. The reason we asked you this time is just to give an explanation to the prefect." The eldest aunt also felt that Huaixi was young, and Pei Zhi was not a good candidate in the eyes of the Ming family, who loved their children.

"I've really thought it through. It's not that I haven't considered it carefully. I just want to meet him first before deciding on it. I have a few questions to ask him. If there are no other problems, we can decide on it later." Ming Huaixi knew what the elders were worried about, so he just said to meet him first and decide on it if nothing unexpected happens.

The elders in the family quickly arranged a meeting between the two.

Two days later, the prefect's wife held a banquet and invited the families of officials and wealthy businessmen in Chaoyang City to attend.

Ming Huaixi and Ming's mother were brought by their eldest aunt to attend the banquet, and their cousin also went along for the occasion. When the banquet started, the prefect's wife said a few words and then asked everyone to leave so that they could have a good time.

Ming Huaixi walked to a place with few people and was taken to a pavilion by people arranged in advance by the prefect's wife. There was already a person standing in the pavilion, staring at the water in a daze.

A young man dressed in white with a distinguished temperament forms a leisurely ink painting with the pavilion.

"You're here. I heard that you wanted to see me." Hearing the noise behind him, Pei Zhi turned around. He was not surprised to see Ming Huaixi and went straight to the point.

Ming Huaixi saw Pei Zhi turning around and was dazzled by the person in front of him for a moment. The person was beautiful, and the scenery was beautiful, but she didn't know which one dazzled her eyes.
