"So clever of you." Xiqiu couldn't help but laugh. Watching the mischievous Tong Xiyan, she felt happy. How long had it been since they last played together like they used to? She couldn't remember, it all seemed so distant!
Tong Xiyan scooted closer to her, squeezed in beside Xiqiu, and asked, "Tell me quickly, I heard from Nanny Qian that a Scholar Qian has been visiting big brother recently. Is father thinking of marrying off our eighth sister to him?"
"And what do you think of this Scholar Qian?" Xiqiu asked with a smile.
Tong Xiyan frowned and thought for a moment, then replied after some contemplation, "In my opinion, having eighth sister marry him wouldn't be a grievance. If he does achieve the rank of Advanced Scholar next year, then this match is indeed worth considering. But, Madam Mei definitely won't agree; she will surely make a scene."
