When Qiushi and Yuxi arrived at Lingshan temple, the taining Marquis and Chen Ran had already arrived. They had been waiting for nearly two quarters of an hour.
Seeing Yu Xi, Mrs. Hou of Taining said with a smile, "as the old saying goes, women are eighteen years old. It's true." The little girl's face is as crystal clear as jade, and her skin is as light as snow. When she smiles at her, her eyes are bent like crescent moon, which makes people like her.
Mrs. Taining Hou had seen Yuxi twice before. In her memory, the child's face was covered with a proper smile, and her eyes revealed a calm that was not of this age. But at this time, Yuxi seems to have changed a person, but Mrs. Taining Hou likes such a change.
Yuxi doesn't know the change of mood, which makes the whole person's mental outlook take on a new look. Many people like to see and hear about her changes.
Qiu Shi listened to this words is very happy: "the child does not boast."
Yuxi came forward and politely saluted Mrs. Taining. Yuxi's study of etiquette is not bad at all. No one can make mistakes in this point.
After Yu Xi's ceremony, the Marquis of Taining pulled out the hairpin of Diancui inlaid with Amethyst and put it on Yu Xi's head: "little girl, you can't be too plain." In this respect, compared with her son. My son is also very plain in his clothes. He never wears a purse or jade pendant. His clothes are either white or green. Anyway, he doesn't wear colored ones.
Seeing that Mrs. Taining spoke mildly, Yuxi was not affected by what she said. Perhaps, she is biased, and not everyone is the same as Yu: "thank you for your gift."
Mrs. Taining nodded her head gently. Before, she was dissatisfied with Yuxi. But now when she saw people, her behavior was not as bad as she thought. As a matter of fact, people are inclined to listen and believe. Madam Taining was not very impressed with Yuxi before. Her evaluation of Yuxi was based on the information she heard. It's hard to avoid being biased in the news the servants have heard. That's why there is a saying that hearing is false and seeing is true.
Qiu's look is almost the same, smiling and Yuxi said: "if you want to be bored, go out for a walk, and then come back to have lunch."
After Yuxi left, Mrs. Taining asked: "how can I look at the thin cocoons in the hands of the four girls?" Some words are hard to ask in front of me. But she is really very strange, the rich girl, that hand is equal to the second face. Whose girl's hands are as white and green as green. It's the first time she's ever seen a girl's hands have thin cocoons. Mrs. Taining Hou couldn't help thinking that the child was still working at home.
Qiu didn't expect that Mrs. Taining Hou's eyes were so good. She said with a smile: "this child used to study with Mr. Song. Mr. Song was very strict and asked them to write 200 characters a day. The child has formed a habit, even if Mr. Song left the library, the child still insists on practicing calligraphy every day. After practicing for so many years, I still have a lot of achievements. The handwriting is like a painting, especially beautiful. "
After hearing this, Mrs. Taining was very surprised: "do you mean that the four girls insist on writing 200 characters every day? It's never been broken all these years? "
Qiu Shi nodded and said, "I haven't broken it except when I was sick. However, in addition to the plum blossom script taught by Mr. Song, the boy also practiced cursive script. But the cursive script is like astronomy. I can't understand it. " Although she couldn't understand it, she was very proud. Her daughter is excellent, but she is young and proud.
Mrs. Taining was a little surprised: "four girls have learned cursive script?" Her son's favorite is Zhang Xu's "Heart Sutra of cursive script", which has been practiced for so many years. Everyone says that his son's cursive script is good, but the character is also like a ghost, and she can't understand it. But not understanding doesn't mean she doesn't understand. She knows that cursive is the most difficult thing to practice.
Qiu nodded with a smile, and said that Yuxi's embroidery work was particularly brilliant: "this child also has talent. She learned the needlework that others can learn in a month or two, and she learned it in three or five days. You see how well this kerchief is embroidered. I can't bear to use it. " With that, she handed the handkerchief from Yuxi to Mrs. Taining.
Mrs. Taining Hou looked at the handkerchief, which was embroidered with a rose in the upper and lower right corners. The needlework is fine and appropriate, and the colors are ingenious. The embroidery looks like real. This embroiderer is the best embroiderer in her mansion.
Looking at the handkerchief, Mrs. Lin was a little surprised: "madam, you can turn it over and have a look."
Mrs. Taining Hou turned over and saw a beautiful rose on the back. I've read it over and over again, and it's the same on both sides. Mrs. Taining Hou was shocked and said, "is this really embroidered by four girls?" Although there are rumors that Yuxi can embroider double-sided embroidery, many people don't think so. No matter how talented you are, you can't make double-sided embroidery without the teacher's instruction. Yuxi's works didn't spread, so many people didn't believe it. But now, Mrs. Taining can't help disbelieving. The reason is very simple, if the marriage is said to be successful, Yuxi will marry to the Chen family in the future, and no one will be stupid enough to cheat the future husband's family with such a lie.
Qiushi saw Mrs. Taining Hou's reaction, and was very proud of it. Qiushi couldn't hide it: "yes! You said, "I'm not willing to use such a beautiful kerchief." With that, he also focused on how Yuxi was filial and how he was good to his two brothers. Qiushi said these, is to let Mrs. Taining Hou know, Yuxi is a clever sensible and considerate child.
After listening to this, Mrs. Taining Hou felt that she should reevaluate the four girls of the Han family. I'm afraid the information she had inquired about before would have a lot of water.
Yuxi took perilla out of the yard and headed for "a clear spring". He had made an appointment before and met here.
Before reaching the ground, Yuxi heard a melodious sound of flute. The sound of the flute rises, crisp and soft, euphemism and clarity coexist. Just like the sound of nature, pleasant heart!
The sound of the flute fell, and Yuxi walked past, feeling a deep sorrow. It's cold now, and few people come to offer incense. If someone plays flute here on weekdays, a group of people will come.
Yuxi is surprised to see Chen Ran. Today's Chen Ran is different from the past. He was wearing a brocade robe with dark flowers and clouds embroidered on it, soft soled boots of the same color, and a broad white fox fur, which made him look more beautiful. Such a young man is really handsome and bright. If Yuxi is really a 13-year-old girl, seeing such an outstanding young man in such a poetic scene, she is 100% devoted to this person. I'm not sure you will not marry him.
Chen Ran saw Yuxi, but he said with a smile, "you're here." This look, this movement, as if they are familiar with each other.
Yuxi asked without expression: "do you know that your mother came to our house to propose marriage?" This guy's brain circuit is totally different from human's, so she won't be confused by this guy's appearance!
Chen Ran for Yuxi so straightforward, not surprised: "I know, I let my mother to the Han family." After that, he added: "I told your entourage that I would be responsible."
Yuxi rolled his eyes and said, "it's just a rumor. The taining Marquis's office has come forward to clarify it. It doesn't affect me, so you don't have to say anything. You are responsible. And I don't need you to be responsible. "
Chen Ran said: "it's just a pretext to say that I'm responsible. Even if there's no rumor, I'll let my mother come and ask for a marriage."
Yuxi said, "why do you want to marry me? What do you like about me? " It would be better to talk about this matter openly.
Chen Ran said with a smile: "I think you are good. I want to marry you. Where are so many? Why?" Other girls must be very shy when they hear that someone is going to marry them. Han Yuxi is a different kind of girl, but he is also a different kind of girl.
Yuxi snorted coldly and said, "you can cheat others, but you can't cheat me. Come on, why do you want to marry me? If I don't tell the truth, I'll go back. " Finish saying, a pose to go.
Chen Ran asked, "do you have to say that? What if I don't say? "
Yuxi said with a sneer, "if you don't say it, it proves that you want to marry me. I will persuade my mother and brother to refuse the marriage. "
Chen Ran's mouth rises. This is the man he wants to marry. He doesn't listen to fate, he doesn't submit to fate, he is real and bold. How can those puppets his mother found for her match him. Chen Ran didn't want to eat either. He said, "do you remember what happened in the Jiang family?"
Yuxi nodded: "I remember seeing you in Mrs. Jiang's yard. What's up? Do you have anything to do with the Jiang family when you marry me? " Jiang family, that is the deepest shadow of Yuxi.
Chen Ran said, "after you left, Mrs. Jiang said a lot of good things about you. It's a good girl to say you are clever and sensible If you are in good health, it goes without saying.
Yu Xi's mouth twitched: "don't you want to marry me just because of Mrs. Jiang's words? Good natured girls are everywhere. I'm not the only one. "
Old lady Jiang's words only made Chen Ran have a good impression on Yuxi. What really impressed Chen Ran to Yuxi was that Yuxi refused the Jiang family's marriage: "I got the news from the Jiang family that your father had promised the Jiang family's marriage, but later I couldn't. If I'm right, I think you don't agree? "
The corner of Yuxi's mouth twitched, and this guy was too good at brain Mending: "I'm sorry to tell you that I didn't know when the Jiang family came to propose marriage. My grandmother refused." With that, he added: "in addition to this reason, what else?"
Chen Ran said seriously: "people outside all say that you hit with failure, even your biological father believed this, for fear of being involved by you and sweeping you out. But you didn't feel sorry for yourself because of the blow. Instead, you were very comfortable in your own Chuang Tzu. I admire that. You should have heard that my mother has shown me a lot of girls. They have a very good family background, appearance and talent, but I don't like any of them. It's not that they are bad, but I know that these girls are like flowers raised in a greenhouse. Once they are put outside, they will wither. Although I'm the son of Taining Hou, I can't have a smooth future. Therefore, the wife I want to marry is one who can stand the wind and rain, not the delicate flower that needs careful care in the greenhouse. " This is the real reason why Chen Ran wants to marry Yuxi.
Yuxi stares at Chen Ran, looking at Chen Ran's expression is very serious, know he said these words are from the heart, the heart also has a trace of fluctuation.
