At this moment, a servant outside reported loudly, “Xue Yan, your brother is here. It’s time to go home?’
Pei Dongyu then sent Xue Yan and Jiang Yue out.
The things that Pei Fufu had given Jiang Yue and the things that the five gentlemen had given Jiang Yue had already been placed on the carriage that Xue Erfu had driven.
After the carriage had left the Pei residence for a while, Xue Yan and Jiang Yue whispered Pei Dongyu’s intentions to Erfu. Erfu was very surprised.
“Sanfu isn’t home… I didn’t know at first, but I’ve been to town so many times. I also know that your classmate is this year’s new top scorer and has become an official… Does that mean our family will be climbing up the social ladder?”
Xue Erfu voiced his concern.
Jiang Yue looked at Xue Yan.
Xue Yan hesitated for a moment, but he still whispered to Erfu that Sanfu actually liked Pei Fufu.
Xue Erfu was even more surprised with this news.
Xue Yan said again, “I also don’t know what Sanfu is thinking. Can you send us to the entrance of Quanping Inn? We’ll write a letter to Sanfu there and let the people of Quanping Inn help send it off quickly. I reckon we’ll know Sanfu’s intentions by tomorrow morning.”
Although Shao Shuting didn’t say much about Sanfu and Wufu in the military camp that day, Zi Cui and the others had privately told them that their brothers had long learned how to read in the military camp. Now, they knew quite a lot of words and could write quite a lot.
It was just that Wufu didn’t like to read. It was too much of a brain-intensive task. He always howled, but there was nothing he could do.
“Alright, alright.” Xue Erfu quickly agreed. Then, he made the carriage slowly turn in front and head towards Quanping Inn.
When the manager of Quanping Inn heard that they were going to write a letter to Xue Sanfu in the military camp, he agreed without a second word and hurriedly prepared a brush, ink, paper, and inkstone for Xue Yan to write.
Xue Yan roughly wrote down the current situation, mainly asking for Sanfu i s opinion, asking Sanfu to give a clear reply regardless of whether he agreed or not.
Actually, there was no need to ask, Xue Yan could already guess how Sanfu would reply.
Sanfu would definitely agree.
In his previous life, Sanfu was afraid that he would regret it in the future. At that time, he seized the opportunity to get engaged to Pei Fufu. They got married not long after.
In this life, the family’s situation was stable. Even if Pei Fufu married into the family now, she wouldn’t have to suffer anymore. It was impossible for Sanfu not to seize this opportunity.
However, in this life, after the engagement, Pei Fufu would definitely go to the Imperial Capital with Dongyu.
It was unlike her previous life where Sanfu did not go to the military camp and stayed at home. Not long after the engagement, he married Pei Fufu. Later, when Xue Yan was 12 years old, he passed the third year in the Imperial Capital and became an official. He brought his family to the Imperial Capital not long after, and Pei Fufu followed Sanfu to the Imperial Capital.
However, no matter what, he definitely had to tell Sanfu first.
After all, this was Sanfu’s marriage.
He wrote the letter and sealed it before giving it to the manager.
After bowing towards the shopkeeper and saying a few more words, Xue Yan walked out of Quanping Inn with Erfu and Jiang Yue. They still didn’t go home, but went to their family’s rice noodle shop.
He whispered something to Sifu instead.
Xue Sifu had originally thought that Pei Fufu was a good fit for Sanfu.
Naturally, he agreed to this matter, even though no one asked for his opinion.
When they returned home, Xue Yan and the others told Liu Guixia and the others.
Liu Guixia and the others were also afraid of ruining the girl’s reputation, so they didn’t dare to say anything. They were uncomfortable with the fact that they were climbing up the social ladder and didn’t have much confidence with this marriage..
