The Love of Passerby A

Chapter 538: A Survival Guide for Women in the Old Republic of China (77)

In fact, in terms of appearance alone, Cao Fangning is very similar to her mother, a princess.

However, her temperament has a slight touch of the heroic spirit of her father, General Cao.

This feeling became even more obvious when she stepped onto the battlefield wearing men's clothes.

So, there is no conflict whether Su Xiangran is like Cao Fangning or that princess.

Whether it was Cao Ce or Cao Wanning, their most profound impression of this princess did not come from her appearance.

After all, they were still young when the other party passed away, and their memory of their appearance was not clear.

What really frightened them was the similar temperament.

The noble aura nurtured by pampering, coupled with the stunning beauty that blooms like a rich flower in the world, and if you add the aura of majesty revealed between her brows, she is exactly like Cao Ce's princess mother in the world.

Looking at Su Xiangran in front of him, Cao Ce forced a smile and said, "Xiao Ran! You must be tired from traveling all the way. Go back to your room and have a rest! We can talk about anything in a few days!"

Even Cao Wanning, who had missed his daughter for many years, didn't say much at this moment, but just asked her to have a good rest for a few days.

The only person who was aware of the situation was Su Xiangran's father, Su Weicheng. He enthusiastically asked about Su Xiangran and Song Chengjing's life abroad in recent years, as well as the local customs and practices.

But after a few words, he changed the subject and talked about their marriage: "Cheng Jing! You have been gone for three years, you are already 25 years old this year! If it were someone else, I'm afraid they would have several children.

Xiaoran is ten years older than you. I know you are accommodating to her, but you also have to consider the offspring of your Song family. It is not necessary to wait until she is eighteen years old to get married as you said before.

In fact, next year, when Xiaoran turns sixteen, she can get married!"

Before the two parties could say anything about whether this was a good thing or not, Cao Shixun, who had just entered the room, spoke first with a dark face: "Uncle, now many aristocratic families in Hai City insist on 'keeping the daughter' when marrying off their daughters.

It is best to keep your daughter until she is 18 before she gets married. If others know about your decision, they will laugh at you and they may even think that you don’t like your cousin’s daughter.”

"Hey! What's the big deal? Special cases require special treatment." Su Weicheng was really afraid of more trouble. "Chengjing should have gotten married at this age, Shixun! It's already too late for you to get married at 22, let alone him!

Besides, we are from Jincheng after all. Girls from my place are considered old maids if they are still unmarried at the age of 16.”

Cao Shixun really wanted to refute him, but he was his elder after all, so there were some things he couldn't say.

"How about this! I'll discuss it with her mother." Su Weicheng said in a tentative tone, "If you agree, we'll set a time."

"Dad!" Su Xiangran wanted Su Weicheng to stop talking. It sounded like she wanted to get married very much.

Song Chengjing originally thought that it was okay to get married later, as long as Su Xiangran was happy. However, Cao Shixun seemed to be even more "crazy" this time. In addition, the Su family themselves proposed it, so of course he hoped to bring Su Xiangran into his sphere of influence as soon as possible.

"Uncle Su, don't worry. I will tell my grandfather about this when I go back today. He will definitely be happy to see it happen." Song Chengjing seemed to be unable to suppress his joy. Then he said to Su Xiangran, "Okay, I'm leaving. Take care of yourself."

After saying goodbye to his future father-in-law according to normal etiquette, Song Chengjing left Cao's house.

Su Xiangran didn't say anything else, but her face remained red.

Several servants carried her luggage to Su Xiangran's room in Cao's mansion.

Just as she was about to open the box to find some spare clothes, her personal maid Cai Qiao discovered that there were some relatively fitting clothes in the closet in this room.

"Miss, I see these clothes are all brand new. How about you wear the ones inside today?" Cai Qiao took out a set of pajamas.

Su Xiangran nodded, took a shower, changed her clothes, then lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep. She didn't even eat dinner that day and slept until the next morning.

Of course! Without the main character, there would be no banquet at Cao's residence.

"Wanning, I think we should let Xiaoran get married next year!" Su Weicheng returned to the room and decided to have a good talk with his wife. "I know you love your daughter, but Song Chengjing is 25 after all. It's not good to delay her like this."

Earlier, Cao Wanning had always been determined to let her daughter get married after she turned 18, but now her mind has obviously softened.

She was not the only one who changed her mind. After Cao Ce returned to the study, he immediately called the butler Cao Quan.

"Butler Cao, I remember that a house near our Cao Mansion was given to the Su family a few years ago. Is this true?" Cao Ce asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Yes! Marshal, you have a really good memory." Cao Quan complimented, "I was the one who accompanied you to choose the house at that time!"

"How are these houses maintained? Are they habitable?" Cao Ce continued to ask.

"Yes! The Su family has regular maintenance!" Although Cao Quan didn't understand why Cao Ce asked this, he still answered honestly.

Cao Ce nodded and didn't ask any further questions, but he had already made a decision in his heart.

No matter what, the Su family can’t live here anymore. The psychological trauma is too great.
