Chapter 109 Matchmaking
In the glass courtyard, Bai Chuxiao was in a good mood sitting on the swing, while Chu Tianze was pushing the swing for her from behind. "It's hard to see that you have a little girl's hobby."
Xiaoxiao doesn't look like a 15-year-old girl at all. She is not interested in clothes, jewelry and other things that little girls are keen on. I didn't expect that she likes swinging. It seems that I have to build one in the Prince of Yan's Mansion as soon as possible after returning.
Bai Chuxiao smiled and said, "Isn't it too boring to be in the mansion? By the way, why are you here again?"
Hearing this, Chu Tianze smiled faintly, "Aren't we going to get married? You grew up in the Murong family. I want to ask if I need to pick you up from your grandfather's side in advance?"
Bai Chuxiao shook her head. "Grandpa and grandmother are old, and Dingzhou is a long way away. I really don't want to see them traveling back and forth."
Chu Tianze came to the other side of the swing and sat down, hugged Bai Chuxiao and let her head lean on his shoulder, "Then we will go back to Dingzhou to visit them after we get married."
Bai Chuxiao responded with a smile. She was an orphan in her previous life. She was trained in the army since she was a child and never felt the love of her parents. When she came to this world, her grandfather loved her very much and let her enjoy the warmth she had never had before... The Murong family was very important to her...

"Doctor, how is it?" the old lady asked anxiously.
"The eldest master is not seriously injured, just some minor skin injuries. He must have taken some very good medicine, and he will be fine after lying down for two days."
"Thank you, doctor."
Thinking of the medicine that the maid of Liuliyuan gave Haoyun, the old lady and Xie couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Bai Chuxiao was not really that crazy.
"Since you have nothing to do, stay in the yard and study hard for the next two days. Don't provoke your elder sister again," Bai Linan said in a deep voice.
Bai Haoyun's face was grim. "Yes, father. But I'm afraid my son won't get a good rank this time."
Hearing this, the old lady looked a little unhappy, "Grandma, I think you should not go this time. Get well first."
Bai Haoyun looked at Bai Linan cautiously. In fact, he didn't want to go either. He was not well educated and was just a playboy. He was able to enter the White Deer Academy only because of Bai Linan's help.
"Go ahead. You are still young, so don't ask for a rank. Passing the exam is enough." Bai Linan's eyes flickered as he spoke calmly.
He is not too young. Passing the imperial examination is relatively easy. His requirement for Bai Haoyun is to at least pass the imperial examination. His son is average in talent. If he passes the imperial examination early and participates in the joint examination, if he fails once, he will have time to prepare for the next exam. In that case, he will be not young anymore. If he fails, with the status of a juren, it will not be a problem for him to enter the officialdom with the left prime minister paving the way for him.
However, if he fails to pass the imperial examination, he will have no choice but to consider giving up this son. Isn't Zhao pregnant? If a son is born safely in the Jiangnan villa, he will take him back to the mansion and raise him well...
"Yes, son, I'll try my best." Bai Haoyun lowered his head, obviously lacking confidence.
The next day, Bai Chuxiao, wearing a blue dress, stepped into Murong's house, and Murong Xuan immediately came to greet her.
"Sister Xiao, I haven't seen you recently. Are you busy with the previous matter? Why don't you call me second brother?" Murong Xuan lowered his head and asked in a low voice.
Bai Chuxiao smiled slightly and said softly, "This is in the capital. It would be too conspicuous to ask you to go there. Go quietly next time."
Murong Xuan nodded with satisfaction, "Pretty sensible."
Bai Chuxiao raised her eyebrows again, "Second brother, are you really not going to take the imperial examination?"
"I'm not interested, you know." Murong Xuan shook his head, then chuckled and said, "But my fourth brother plans to give it a try this time."
Bai Chuxiao was a little surprised, "He's taking the exam in Jiangnan?"
Murong Xuan smiled and said, "Fourth brother is well-educated, it doesn't hurt to give it a try. If I remember correctly, the guy in your house is the same age as fourth brother."
Bai Chuxiao blinked, "Yes, but I taught him a lesson yesterday, so I don't think he will win this time."
If he failed to win, she couldn't be blamed. He could only be blamed for his lack of knowledge. Heaven and earth were all clear that she had shown mercy, otherwise Bai Haoyun would never have gotten up.
The two walked all the way to the flower hall.
"Xiaoxiao, come quickly. Your grandfather and his family just received a letter." The second aunt looked delighted.
"Second aunt, second uncle, what did grandpa say?"
The second uncle handed her the letter and spoke slowly, "Your marriage is a big deal, how could your grandfather not come back? However, your grandmother is in poor health so she stayed in Dingzhou, and your eldest uncle still has an official position so it's not easy for him to come back to Beijing at will. This time, your grandfather and your eldest and third brothers are coming back together."
Bai Chuxiao was deeply moved after reading the contents of the letter. Although her grandfather was in good health, it was still a bit tiring for him to make this trip. "Xiaoxiao, thank you for troubling them. Chu Tianze mentioned to me yesterday that he was going to pick up my grandfather and his family."
Murong Cheng shook his head and said calmly, "Your Highness Prince Yan is thoughtful, but don't make it public."
"Second uncle is right"
After chatting for a while, Bai Chuxiao took Murong Xuan out of the house. She came here today specifically to look for her second brother. Sister Xihan was her first friend since she came to the capital. It would be even better if she could become her second sister-in-law.
In the private room on the second floor of Tianshui Tower, Murong Xuan asked with some doubt, "Sister Xiao, do you have something to say to my second brother?"
"Brother, you are already grown up. I am about to get married. What about you?"
Murong Xuan raised his eyebrows, "Didn't my second brother already tell you, Xiao sister, when did you become so fussy? You used to have no interest in getting married."
Bai Chuxiao looked at the handsome but stubborn man in front of her and wanted to punch him. "Okay, then do you have a favorite woman?"
Murong Xuan shook his head lightly. He seldom interacted with women in the capital, so how could he be interested in her?
Bai Chuxiao blinked, "So what do you think of Sister Xihan?"
Murong Xuan looked puzzled and spoke slowly, "Ms. Kong is gentle and virtuous, of course she is excellent."
Because the two families were both in the Ministry of Rites, he and Miss Kong had met quite a few times. In addition, Xiao Meimei and Miss Kong were good sisters, so she could be considered his friend...
Bai Chuxiao's eyes lit up and she said with a smile, "I think you and Sister Xihan are a perfect match. I want Sister Xihan to be my sister-in-law. What do you think, Brother?"
"When did you become a matchmaker?" Murong Xuan said unhappily.
Bai Chuxiao was a little annoyed, "Don't you look down on Sister Xihan?"
Murong Xuan said calmly, "How could that be? My family background is not as good as Miss Kong's. It's even a question whether she would be interested in me. Stop trying to match us up with each other."
Bai Chuxiao's eyes turned. From the tone of her second brother's voice, there must be something going on. Her second brother didn't come into contact with many women, but Sister Xihan was one of the ones he interacted with the most. She was beautiful, gentle, and talented. She didn't believe that he wouldn't be moved at all?
Bai Chuxiao sighed slightly, "Second brother, you are such a fool. If Sister Xihan didn't have feelings for you, why would I ask you? Since you don't have feelings for me, then forget it. I will help you pass on your message. I will help Sister Xihan to find other outstanding men in the future. Time is merciless..."
