《【翻译】风弄原著《金玉王朝》》小医Potassium

17、chapter one 14

　　"I mean business," Xuan Daiyun sobered up. "You're nearly twenty-two,about the age of marriage.With your good looks, talent, and experience studying abroad in the UK, aren't you more than worthy of the daughter of a a Premier? Honestly, our father didn't think this far. Why did he have to send you to Britain for studying? If he'd cared about your marriage stuff when he was still alive, back then you could've had your choice of picking of young ladies from distinguished families. But things are different now. For your own future, you really need to choose someone from a well-off family who can support you. Don't blame me tacky.Times aren't what they used to be..."
　　（TN：i mean business比joking的用法更严肃一点。
　　中文是总理，这个用词比较偏英式，所以比起director，premier更合适一点）

　　She was about to go on, when a house-born maid called out from outside, "Madam, Master is home."

　　Xuan Daiyun stood up immediately, replied to the outside, "Got it."

　　She spun around, hurrying to yank Xuan Huaifeng up from the stool. "Your brother-in-law’s home.No matter what he says, don’t dig in your heels with him." She rummaged in her bosom for a small silk pouch stitched with golden threads, pressed it into Xuan Huaifeng’s hand, and murmured softly, "Keep this money safe. Tell him you earned it by yourself, don’t let your brother-in-law find out I gave it to you. I’ve wanted to give this to you for ages, but you just wouldn’t accept. I called you to come home several times, and you always fobbed me off."

　　Xuan Huaifeng wouldn’t take it, saying, "Sis, I don’t need your money."

　　预祝新年快乐！
　　跨年特别番。
