Lu Jingxing naturally thought so, and with a fan in his hand, he tapped it on his palm, thinking that it would be good to respond.

  But before he could even get the word "good" out of his mouth, the crowd around him began to stir.

  "Ah, ah, here it comes!"

  "Its really worthy of being a junior member of the Jiang family. Just look at their demeanor and temperament, its completely different from ordinary people."

  Praises rose from all directions, and everyone looked towards the stone path leading to the front hall.

  At the end of the road, Jiang Yan strode forward with a broad step. The red trim on his golden collar, black cloud-patterned boots, and jade-inlaid crimson waistband cinched in his snowy satin robe, accentuating this young masters fine physique. Even with his raven hair casually tied back, he exuded an extraordinary air of elegance and refinement.

  "This Jiang familys feng shui is indeed good, and the children theyve raised are all so clever." Lu Jinghang said with a smile.

  Li Huaiyu nodded in agreement: "This is true."

  Jiang Yan is considered one of the most outstanding among Jiangs grandchildren, and he is also close to Jiang Xuanjin. Those who like to flatter the Jiang family often praise these two uncle and nephew together. What "Jiang Fu Shuang Yu, Xuan Xuan Yan, I dream of you, but its impossible" makes ones skin crawl with embarrassment.

  Although its cheesy, it actually hit the thoughts of many Kyoto women. Look, Jiang Yan walked step by step towards Jiang Xuanjin, causing the ladies who came to the banquet to blush, especially Bai Xueji, who was standing at the front door, her eyes shining with joy.

  She had already greeted the elders of the Jiang family just now, and was standing beside the Jiang family members with Bai Dezhong, with a half-master-like demeanor.

  As Jiang Yan approached, Bai Xueqi stood even more elegantly, her eyes looking elsewhere, but the corner of her eye still glanced at him, hoping he would take a look in her direction.

  However, Jiang Yan was here to tie up his hair and pay respects, with a pair of eyes staring at his own younger uncle, without looking anywhere else.

  "The timing is just right." Jiang Chong handed over a jade crown with an embroidered silk hairband to Jiang Xuanjin, "After this ceremony is completed, I will go invite Father to host the banquet."

  Jiang Xuanjin nodded and took over the thing, walking to Jiang Yans face.

  The coming-of-age ceremony for Northern Wei men at the age of 18, where the highest-ranking uncle in the family would tie up their hair, signifying that they were no longer children with loose hair and could take on responsibilities independently.

  Among the generation of Jiangs uncles and aunts, the one with the highest status was naturally Jiang Xuanjin. Li Huaiyu stretched her neck to watch him tie up Jiang Yans hair and put on a jade crown, suddenly remembering her own coming-of-age ceremony.

  When the former emperor died, she was only twelve years old. At fifteen, the only uncle in the imperial family died at her hands. Therefore, the coming-of-age ceremony was performed by Jiang Xuanjin for her.

  At that time, Jiang Xuanjin was very serious, although he was young, his face was as stern as an old man in the morning, pinching the jade hairpin to tie her hair, with too much force on his hands, hurting her so much that she gritted her teeth.

  Now it seems he knows how to tie his hair, with a gentle and steady force in his hands.

  Pouting, Li Huaiyu rolled her eyes and thought that this person was just not welcoming her.

  The hair-binding ceremony was soon completed, and Old Master Jiang came out to host a banquet. The guests took their seats one after another.

  Bai Dezhong took Bai Xueqi and went straight to the top three seats.

  "Is this Miss Bai Er?" Old Master Jiang looked at Bai Xueqi with a warm smile, "Youve grown into a big girl."

  Bai Xueji bowed neatly and said: "Ive seen Master Jiang."

  "All right, go in and sit down." Old Master Jiang said, "After lunch, Ill let Yanyu accompany you to take a walk in the garden."

  Her heart leapt with joy, and Bai Xueqi hastily agreed: "Yes."

  Its settled, Old Master Jiang nodded his head, this marriage is definitely going to happen. Bai Xuanji lowered her head and restrained a smile, but the hand holding the handkerchief couldnt help but tremble.

  The wedding she had been looking forward to for so many years finally fell on her head!

  Jiang Xuanjin quietly picked at his food, not paying much attention to the conversation. However, in the interval of putting down his chopsticks, he raised his head and glanced in the direction where Bai Si Miss was.

  Li Huaiyu sat down beside Lu Jingxing on the mat in the middle of the courtyard. Since she hadnt eaten anything good at the White House, when she saw the exquisite dishes on the table, she couldnt help herself. Her chopsticks moved nimbly and quickly between the bowls and plates.

  Lu Jinghang helplessly unfolded his jade fan to block some of her face and said with a mixture of laughter and tears, "You didnt used to love eating meat so much."

  "If you had been eating plain porridge and vegetables for a few days, you would love meat just like me." Huaiyu hummed, "The illegitimate daughter of the White Manor is not human!"

  With a sympathetic glance at her, Lu Jingxing picked up his chopsticks and helped her pick some meat.

  Withdraw your gaze, Jiang Xuanjin thought coldly. The relationship between these two is really not ordinary, its as if theyve known each other for many years. If Bai Zhen and Jiang Yans marriage were to truly fall through, who knows, she might just turn around and marry into the Lu household.

  Shes really not losing out.

  Jiang Er Gongzi Jiang Sheng was eating with great relish when he suddenly felt a chill beside him.

  "Third brother?" he asked inexplicably, "Why arent you happy again?"

  Jiang Xuanjin continued to pick up dishes with his chopsticks: "None."

  His expression was calm and his eyes were as usual, where did he look unhappy?

  Jiang Shen looked at him seriously and said, "Youve been acting strangely since the funeral of Princess Chang, Im sure its not just me who thinks so, what do you think, big brother?"

  Jiang Chong was named and also glanced at Jiang Xuanjin, nodding: "There is some."

  "Look, confess honestly." Jiang Shen put down his chopsticks and smiled, "Is it because you see Yaner is getting married, but theres no one by your side, so youre anxious?"

  His face turned dark, Jiang Xuanjin said in a low voice: "I dont plan on taking a wife."

  "Nonsense!" Old Master Jiangs eyes narrowed, "Earlier you said that great things had not been accomplished and you were not in the mood to start a family. Now that everything has been accomplished, do you really want to extinguish one of the three incense sticks that I have worked hard to nurture?"

  Jiang Xuanjin remained silent.

  Old Master Jiang said with slight annoyance: "Youve never given me a single worry from childhood to adulthood, cant you just do one thing properly? Dont make me worry about your marriage either?"

  "Father, calm down." Jiang Chong said, "To be honest, the women in this capital who can match up to Third Brother are really few. He hasnt met a suitable one, and we cant just force him to marry someone unsuitable."

  "Its better to drag it hard than to cut off the incense!"

  Seeing the old man getting angry, Jiang Sheng hurriedly comforted him: "Dont worry, my son went to the temple fair a few days ago and had his fortune told by the third brother. He said that he has a lucky star and good things will happen soon."

  Old Master Jiangs expression changed slightly as he asked, "Really?"

  "More genuine than real gold." Jiang Shen laughed and said, "You can rest assured, Third Brother has always been decisive, let him take charge of his own marriage matters."

  In another family, they would definitely have to listen to their parents orders and the matchmakers words, but Jiang Xuanjin had been obedient since childhood, doing everything extremely well, and later even received the title of Purple Sun Duke, bringing glory to his ancestors.

  Such a child, Old Master Jiang didnt want to make things difficult for him either. He was even willing to compromise and thought that as long as he was willing to get married, even if it meant marrying a beggar from the streets, he would spare no expense!
