Chapter 797 I Am Ready to Propose to You

Xiao Wu said helplessly, but at the same time, his eyes burst out with infinite fighting spirit, the momentum of a newborn calf not afraid of tigers.

Senior Brother Zhao said that it was probably the officials who wanted to train him, and whether it was true or not, he would take it seriously. I will definitely fulfill my duties and be a good governor of the state.

Listening to Xiao Wu's voice, Bai Yunxi pondered for a moment. It was indeed true. No matter what the higher-ups planned, as long as Xiao Wu took it seriously and achieved results, he would be good in the future.

"You are a bachelor from a humble family. Since the officials want to check you out, just do it well. As for the rest, leave it to God. Of course, as a member of the bachelor from a humble family, even if he enters the capital in the future, he will be opposed to the nobles in the capital. Be careful, don't let anyone fool you."

"Don't worry, mother, your son knows what he is doing, and he must keep it in mind."

Xiao Wu nodded, these teachers had all told him. The official family has always been inspiring and innovative, but unfortunately it has failed several times. This is when it needs manpower.

Listening to Xiao Wu's voice, Bai Yunxi didn't ask any more questions. The officialdom was like a battlefield. Only through personal experience could one make progress. Dean Zhang gave her some advice, which reassured her.

"By the way, you are eighteen years old this year, and you are the top scorer in your new class. Mom thinks it's time for you to get married. How about taking advantage of the remaining two months to settle your marriage?"

Baiyunxi said while checking Xiaowu's expression. Apart from the initial embarrassment, the boy immediately returned to normal. Baiyunxi was surprised to see that he was worthy of being a Lord Zhizhou, he was calm enough.

Xiao Wu raised his head, looked at his mother's smiling eyes, pursed his lips,

"Mother is asking her son like this, but has a suitable candidate been found?"

Regardless of whether he agrees or disagrees, he is very curious about who his mother has fallen in love with?

"Ahem~, that's natural, but before that, Mom wants to know if Xiao Wu has someone she likes. Although children's marriage depends on the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words, Mom still has to respect your opinion."

Bai Yunxi's tone was gentle. Seeing his silence, she was not in a hurry. She picked up the tea to moisten her throat and observed Xiao Wu's frown in thought.

Listening to his mother's question, Xiao Wu frowned subconsciously, and inadvertently, Senior Sister Yishan's smart smiling face appeared in his mind. Every time she stood in front of him, she was obviously not as big as him, and not as tall as him, but she always looked upright. Acting like a senior sister, she helped him deal with trivial matters in life.

Not only did she help him take care of the trivial matters in life, but she also prepared clothes for him for all seasons.

He was not allowed to say thank you, and every time she pretended to be a senior sister and told him that as a senior sister, it was her responsibility to take care of her junior brother, and that was what she should do, so that he would not be too moved.

Over time, he and his senior sister got used to this way of getting along. And he also secretly vowed that no matter who his senior sister marries in the future, as a family member, he must protect her well and never let her suffer any injustice.

Thinking of this, Xiao Wu shook his head violently, his expression flashed with embarrassment. His mother asked him if he had someone he liked. Why did he suddenly think of his senior sister?

Bai Yunxi kept staring at Xiao Wu, and naturally she didn't miss the look in his eyes, "Why don't you say anything? Are you there or not?"

"...No." Xiao Wu lowered his expression and replied in a low voice.

"Ahem~, in that case, Mom is relieved." Bai Yunxi curled her lips and looked at Xiao Wu's nervous eyes, "What do you think of Sister Shan? Mom likes that girl very much and wants her to be my daughter-in-law. "

Xiaowu: "..."

"There are urgent matters. Mom wants to arrange your marriage before you take office... I will go to the county tomorrow to visit Mrs. Liu and ask her to go to the Zhang family to negotiate a match."

Bai Yunxi looked at Xiao Wu's silly look and curled up the corners of her lips almost imperceptibly.

"Sister Shan is sixteen years old this year. You are brothers and sisters. You understand each other and will be much more harmonious when you get along in the future. The most important thing is that Mom really likes that girl."

Listening to his mother's words, Xiao Wu came back to his senses, twitched the corner of his mouth, looked at his mother's smiling eyes, and his heart palpitated. If the daughter-in-law his mother liked was a senior sister, he felt relieved.

"Son...son is entirely up to his mother."

After saying this, Xiao Wu's cheeks turned red. When he raised his eyes, he saw his mother's teasing eyes again. With a bang, his whole face was as red as cooked shrimps.

It was rare to see Xiao Wu looking so embarrassed. Bai Yunxi was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter without anyone noticing.

"Ha ha……"

Listening to his mother's unbridled laughter, Xiao Wu clenched his fists and pursed his lips. After the embarrassment, his heart was full of joy. If the person he would spend his whole life with was his senior sister, he would have nothing to say.

Just when Bai Yunxi was about to say something, he saw a group of people pouring in outside the gate. The Bai clan and people watching the excitement in the village came to see the excitement after learning that Xiao Wu had returned.

Everyone wanted to take a look at the champion's style. Baiyunxi had already thought of this and asked Du to prepare fruits and snacks in advance.

"Haha, the number one scholar is back, congratulations..."

When everyone saw Xiao Wu, they greeted him with a smile, and the atmosphere was lively and noisy. Baiyunxi invited the elders to sit down and served melon seeds for tea.

For a time, in the entire courtyard, apart from greetings, there were only polite words and compliments, and free compliments were sent out one after another. The Bai family was already numb after hearing this.

A group of villagers suddenly rushed into the house, which alarmed Zhang Yishan. The little girl curiously came out to see the excitement.

Bai Yunxi was worried that outsiders would bump into her, so she quickly protected them by her side, exchanged a few words with everyone, and then left the place to Xiao Wu and the second brother. She took Zhang Yishan to her room to hide in peace.

"It's a mess outside, so it's better to stay in the house and be quiet. No matter how much noise they make, they won't disturb us."

Listening to Bai Yunxi's tone, Zhang Yishan covered her face with a handkerchief and nodded with a smile.

When Junior Brother Xiaowu returned from Kyoto, he went to the academy to meet his father as soon as possible. At that time, many senior students learned that Xiaowu had returned and ran to congratulate and inquire. The scene was also noisy, as if attending a big gathering. .

If the students are like this, let alone the villagers in the countryside, the atmosphere must be even more lively.

Just as the two were talking, another burst of laughter came from her door. A group of people from the Zhang family, Song Wang family and Zheng family came in and looked at Baiyunxi with smiles.

"I heard that the No. 1 Scholar has returned, so we all came to watch the excitement. Unfortunately, there are people inside and outside the hall, so we can't squeeze in. We can only come to the No. 1 Scholar's mother to feel happy."

As soon as he finished speaking, several people had already entered the room. When they saw Zhang Yishan, their eyes lit up.

"Isn't this the daughter of Teacher Xiao Wu? I haven't seen her for a year, and she looks even more delicate and prettier. She is indeed a girl from the city, but she is fairer and more attractive than our country girls."

Zheng stared at Zhang Yishan, praised her, and sat down on the chair next to her. I grabbed the melon seeds and cracked them.
