Chapter 255 Three Little Questions
Although he had such thoughts in his mind, when Yinreng caught a glimpse of the look cast by his own queen, Buerhe, his original aggressive look, which seemed to want to rush out and beat someone up, disappeared without a trace in an instant.
After all, it hadn't actually happened yet! And if he really turned this impulse into action, he could imagine that what would be waiting for him was not only Bull and his reproachful stare, but even his beloved daughter would probably resent him.
After confirming that Yinreng was sitting quietly by the side and no longer making any trouble, Buerhe turned to look at Jingyi and began to ask further about the details of her relationship with Hailancha.
Buerhe smiled and said gently, "Jingyi, in my eyes, you have always been the most caring and well-behaved child. You have always been sensible and sensible, knowing when to advance and when to retreat, and always considering the overall situation. If it weren't for your help and assistance over the years, how could I have been able to recuperate so peacefully?"
Today, Mother simply wants to tell you: Don't live your life solely to satisfy the opinions and expectations of us elders. As long as you truly believe Hailancha is a good person, and you like him from the bottom of your heart, and you've carefully considered and determined that he's truly worthy of your lifelong commitment, then you can simply ask Father and Mother to arrange your marriage.
Hearing this, Jingyi's eyes welled up slightly. She gazed at her mother and father with deep affection, feeling deeply moved. To have such understanding and caring relatives was truly a blessing in her life.
Since her mother had already said so, it meant that her father should actually have tacitly agreed, right? Thinking of this, under the encouraging gaze of Burhe, she mustered up the courage to speak out her long-cherished wish in her heart - she hoped to make Fulancha her husband.
As expected! It turns out Jingyi had this in mind, wanting to marry that brat Hailancha! At this moment, Yinreng's emotions were incredibly complicated, like watching his own carefully cultivated, juicy cabbage being snatched away by a "wild boar," while he had to force a smile to show his approval. This aggrieved feeling was truly indescribable, and it was fully on display at this moment.
Hongye, watching this scene from the sidelines, was naturally displeased. After all, what brother would want to see his beloved sister betrothed so easily? However, he knew full well that this marriage was indeed a good one in every way. If they, simply because of excessive love for their sister or daughter, impulsively acted inappropriately, causing the marriage to fall through, it would be too late to regret it later.
Although we can't ruin this marriage, we can still do some other things within our power. Hongye rolled his eyes and winked playfully at his father, and the father and son immediately understood.
It looked like they were secretly planning to create a few more obstacles for Hailancha. They had to make him realize that marrying one's beautiful daughter or sweet sister wasn't an easy task. Only after going through untold hardships and finally obtaining one's possession would one truly cherish it.
Jingyi's matter was completely exposed today, but while the adults were discussing it heatedly, the three little ones sitting below were confused and didn't understand anything.
Despite their limited knowledge, they still managed to get some clues about some key information, such as words like "granted marriage" and "marry someone".
Although they still didn't understand the meaning of the arranged marriage, they did have some understanding of the concept of marriage. After all, not long ago, Minyan's cousin had just married, and the man she married was none other than Brother Honghui! Could it be that even the eldest sister would follow in his footsteps and marry Brother Honghui?
The more I thought about it, the more confused I became. I decided to just ask! Hongchen was particularly energetic today. He was the first to raise his hand high and asked eagerly, "Ah Ma, is my elder sister going to get married too?"
Then, Hongying followed up with another question: "Are you going to marry Brother Honghui?"
Finally, Hongyan joined in and added curiously, "Do you still want to go with Sister Minyan?"
These questions came one after another like a string of cannonballs, instantly confusing everyone present. Their brains were working so fast that it felt like their CPUs were about to burn out and smoke.
Oh my, this is really a headache-inducing death problem! At this moment, Buerhe, who had originally thought that family members should care for each other and not favor any party, finally realized the disadvantages of leaving these three little ones behind.
This age group, where people seem to understand things but are full of curiosity and want to get to the bottom of everything, is really a bit overwhelming!
After much persuasion, several people took turns to finally explain clearly what they were talking about and that they should not say things like "sister marrying brother" in the future. They also asked the servants to bring a lot of delicious food and finally coaxed the three curious babies to the side hall.
After all this activity, everyone collapsed in their seats exhausted. Yinreng and his wife decided to be more careful with their words in the future, and only allow the three little ones to participate in family discussions if they could fully understand.
They never want to experience a situation like today again. It's a good thing that it only happened with close people. If there were outsiders present, how socially devastating it would be!
After seeing off the newlyweds, the family, except for the three little ones, stayed in the main hall of Kunning Palace to continue discussing the previous topic. At the same time, Yinreng also mentioned that they would choose a princess for Hongye during the selection next year.
As for Hongchang, he is still young, so it is not too late to wait until the next term to choose the legitimate wife.
Hongchang seemed oblivious to the heated discussions between his father, mother, and his older brothers and sisters. Ever since successfully graduating from the Shangshufang (Shangshufang) a while ago, he had been like a wild horse, immersing himself in the Ministry of Industry all day, obsessively observing the various novel inventions developed by his fifth uncle.
Unexpectedly, it was these frequent visits that unexpectedly allowed Hongchang to discover his hidden unique talent. Those complex and exquisite mechanical products seemed to have an innate tacit understanding with him. With just a little thought, he could quickly understand the secrets behind them.
Take, for example, the pocket watch that his uncle had just developed. When he first saw it, Hongchang felt a strong desire to explore it. So, under the astonished gazes of others, he took it apart without hesitation.
What was even more astonishing was that, relying solely on a brief observation and memory, Hongchang was able to reassemble the parts at an astonishing speed. Moreover, the performance of the watch after his reassembly was not affected at all, but its timing accuracy was significantly improved.
This scene happened to be witnessed by Prince Heng, who was playing with his nephew. He was stunned. After coming to his senses, Prince Heng could not help but praise Hongchang: "He is truly gifted! Not only is he extremely intelligent, but his hands are also extremely dexterous!" In his excitement, Prince Heng could not wait to find Yinreng immediately and report the matter truthfully.
However, faced with Prince Heng's enthusiasm, Hongchang unexpectedly stopped him. It wasn't that Hongchang didn't want to further study the relevant knowledge, but at this moment, he still had a trace of doubt in his heart - was his successful assembly this time due to his true talent or was it just a matter of luck?
Therefore, he hopes to spend more time and get in close contact with these mechanical objects to confirm whether he really has extraordinary talent in the field of invention and creation. If it is finally proved that he does have expertise in this field, then joining this industry in the future will surely be a different and wonderful life journey.
