Actually, I’m here to break off the engagement

Bai Mansion has a deep courtyard. The tall sycamore trees in the courtyard cut off most of the cold wind, making the entire courtyard even more deserted.

Mrs. Bai, who was elegantly dressed, walked slowly through the corridor. There was no joy on her well-maintained and clean face. The maid next to her was holding half a piece of moldy sesame seed cake in her hand, and her eyes were full of puzzlement.

She knew that Madam loved being clean the most, and this sesame seed cake looked old, which made her, a servant, a little intolerable.

Ji Que sat in the hall of the Bai Mansion, looking at the elegant furniture and furnishings in the hall, and once again sighed that rich people are so nice.

Yes, he had never had much contact with these things and didn't know much about them, but they looked very expensive at first glance.

Giving up this engagement means giving up a cold rich woman.

Ji Que felt a little pity, but not too much.

Now he is more nervous.

It was the first time to break off the engagement, and it was the first time for me to see my elders talk about breaking off the engagement.

This actually feels like being called to the office by a teacher in a previous life to talk about puppy love.

As the light and shadow at the door changed, a graceful lady walked in with a maid.

Just judging from the other party's clothing and temperament, this should be Mrs. Bai, the mistress of the White House.

He quickly stood up and saluted, appearing very polite.

If Miss Bai is her biological child, judging from her mother's appearance, she is most likely to be a beauty.

Mrs. Bai showed a gentle smile and slowly sat on the main seat.

Well, at least the child was much prettier than she imagined.

The half of the moldy sesame seed cake was placed on the table next to it by the maid. When Ji Que saw this, he was about to take out the engagement letter from his arms, but Mrs. Bai stretched out her hand and said, "My dear nephew, this is not

urgent."

Ji Que sat down and did not continue.

Although he is not a relative or an acquaintance, the other person is still an elder, and a good-looking elder. As a guest, he really has to check the host's arrangements first.

Mrs. Bai picked up the tea cup, glanced at the half of the sesame cake, but did not drink it, and said, "Xiannie, how long did it take to arrive at Tianren City?"

Ji Que replied: "Early in the morning."

Mrs. Bai nodded and said: "I'm tired from the journey, so I should take a good rest and go for a walk. The lanterns on the Qingyun Canal are beautiful, and the scenery of Yuhuayan is also good."

Ji Que responded: "Thank you madam for reminding me, this junior will be able to do this easily after finishing his business."

Mrs. Bai raised her eyebrows slightly and said: "Actually, there is no need to be so anxious about this matter. It is not a trivial matter after all. The old man received a piece of cake from your old man back then. If you want us to remember it in our hearts, we naturally dare not forget it. It is just a matter of marriage.

Don’t be too hasty with things.”

Ji Feng nodded and said, "That's true."

Madam Bai said: "Lingshuang is not here, so this matter must be slowed down."

Ji Que quickly said: "Forgive me for being presumptuous, I would like to ask when Miss Bai will return home?"

As soon as these words came out, the maid next to her who looked a little bit bitter couldn't help but quietly rolled her eyes.

Isn't this too impatient?

Madam Bai remained calm, but she already had some prejudices in her heart.

This young man was good-looking, but he came from a small place after all. He thought that with half a sesame seed cake, he could easily marry her daughter and live a completely different life of wealth.

I was a little too impatient, but that's understandable.

Her face became a little colder and she said: "My father has left. Although I am no longer an official, I am still a person, no matter how big or small. I pay great attention to the character of the people in the house. This is the first time you and I have met.

I don’t understand. I heard that you are a scholar and want to continue to obtain fame?”

Ji Que replied: "It's not actually the case."

Mrs. Bai raised her eyebrows slightly and said slightly surprised: "Have you been selected?"

Ji Que said seriously: "Actually, this junior failed to pass the scholar examination this year."

It’s really a matter of which pot should not be opened.

Hearing this, the maid next to her burst into laughter.

He's not even a scholar, yet he's so eager to get a high position as a young lady.

Mrs. Bai gave the maid a cold look, and the maid quickly shut up, not daring to make a mistake.

At this time, Mrs. Bai murmured: "Actually, nephew, don't worry about it. Studying to gain fame is actually not the only option, it can even be said to be not the best option.

Nowadays, the court has long been emphasizing martial arts over literature. Brother Lingshuang is only five years older than you. He went to the frontier and has already become a thousand households with his own efforts.

There are one son and two daughters in the Bai family. Not to mention the eldest brother Lingshuang, he did not disgrace the master. The two daughters are even more impressive. The younger sister Lu'er is very talented and has been chosen by the Yunxue Sect. She will only wait until she is older.

Become a practitioner. As for my sister Lingshuang, you should have heard that she is ranked sixth on the Jade List and is more famous than the master."

Hearing these family shortcomings, Ji Que had the illusion that in his previous life he was standing on the playground in the scorching sun, and the principal only spoke three points.

In the eyes of the maid, he seemed to be on pins and needles, so the maid couldn't help but frown quietly.

There are so many good things that fall from the sky in this world. Even if there are, not everyone can catch them.

As a servant in the house who watched his young lady amaze everyone, this lady's personal maid has always been proud of the eldest lady, and she also knows the importance of the eldest lady in the hearts of the master and his wife.

After learning that the young lady had such an inexplicable marriage contract, the maid's first reaction was that it was unfair.

How can a young lady marry an ordinary person?

From the beginning to the end, he was very repelled by the rumored young lady's engagement partner, Ji Que.

When I met him today, I learned that not only did this young man come from the countryside, he was not even admitted as a scholar, which further deepened this idea.

Ji Que just wanted to open his mouth to speak, but Mrs. Bai seemed to speak without breathing, and continued to add: "Nephew Ji Xian, you are not familiar with Tianren City, and I am afraid you don't know much about cultivation. You are a cultivator with great potential.

The status in the Sheng Dynasty is definitely not comparable to being a scholar in high school and becoming an official.

Elders need to be respected, but the decisions they made by the deceased do not necessarily have to be accepted in full. We, the descendants, need to deal with them in a more appropriate way.

Since you have just arrived, you may not be able to see clearly in some aspects. The opinion of the master and I is that you can get familiar with the city for a while first, and we can send you to the military through certain connections, so that you can have the same experience as Brother Lingshuang.

Starting from the same starting point, if you are really a malleable talent and a good man, it will not only be your blessing, but also the blessing of the court.

At that time, Lingshuang and we will get to know you better, and it will be the most appropriate time to discuss this engagement at that time, what do you think?"

After hearing the words "What do you think?", Ji Que's eyes that had lost their luster became bright again.

Oh my god, I’ve finally finished speaking. It’s my turn?

Ji Que wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Well, Auntie, it doesn't have to be that troublesome."

"Um?"

"Actually, I'm here to break off the engagement."

Mrs. Bai: “????”

Maid: “??????”
