When Qiu and Yuxi arrived at Lingshan Temple, the people from the Taining Marquis Mansion and Chen Ran had already arrived, and the two had been waiting for nearly two quarters of an hour.

When Mrs. Taining Hou saw Yuxi, she said with a smile: "As the old saying goes, the eighteen changes of women's colleges, this is really not false at all. The little girl's face was as bright as jade, her skin was as bright as snow, and when she smiled at her, her eyes were curved like crescent moons, and she liked it when she looked at her.

Mrs. Taininghou had seen Yuxi twice before, and in her memory, the child had a decent smile on his face, and his eyes revealed a calmness that did not belong to this age. But at this time, Yuxi seemed to be a different person, but Mrs. Taininghou liked such changes.

Yuxi didn't know that the change in his mood made the whole person's mental outlook look new. And her changes are what many people like to hear.

Qiu Shi was very happy when he heard this: "The child is not praised. ”

Yuxi stepped forward and saluted Mrs. Taining Hou in a proper manner. Rules and etiquette, Yuxi is not bad at all, and no one can fault this.

Taining Hou waited for Yuxi to finish saluting, smiled and pulled out the hairpin with emerald inlaid amethyst on his head, and inserted it into Yuxi's head: "Little girl's family, you can't be too plain." In this respect, it is compared to that of her son. The son is also very plain in terms of dressing, never wears purses and jade pendants or the like, and his clothes are either white or green, anyway, he doesn't wear colored ones.

Yuxi saw that Mrs. Taininghou spoke softly, and her words to her were not pretentious, and her heart was a little calm. Perhaps, she was prejudiced, and not everyone was like Yu: "Thank you Madame for the gift." ”

Mrs. Taininghou nodded slightly, she was dissatisfied with Yuxi a lot before, but now when she sees people, she looks at the behavior of everyone, and it is not as bad as she thought. In fact, people are a little biased and biased, Mrs. Taining Hou was not impressed by Yuxi before, and her evaluation of Yuxi was all obtained through the news obtained through guò. The news that the next person heard was inevitably a little biased. That's why there is a saying that hearing is false, seeing is believing.

Qiu Shi looked at it about the same, smiled and said to Yuxi: "If you want to be bored, go out for a walk, and come back for lunch." ”

After Yuxi left, Mrs. Taininghou asked, "How can I see that the fourth girl's hand has a thin callus?" But she is really strange, a girl from a big family, that hand is equivalent to a second face. Whose girl's little hands are not maintained, white and tender like shallots, she is the first time she has seen a girl's hands have thin calluses. This made Mrs. Taininghou think a lot, could it be that this child was still working at home.

Qiu didn't expect Mrs. Taininghou to have such a good look, and said with a smile: "This child used to study with Mr. Song, and Mr. Song was very strict and required them to write two hundred big characters every day. This child has developed a habit, even if Mr. Song quits, this child still insists on practicing calligraphy every day. After practicing for so many years, it is still very fruitful, and the writing is like a painting, which is particularly beautiful. ”

Mrs. Taininghou was very surprised when she heard this: "You mean, the four girls insist on writing 200 big characters every day?

Qiu nodded and said, "I haven't broken it except for illness." However, in addition to practicing the plum blossom Xiaokai taught by Mr. Song, this child also practiced cursive. But the cursive handwriting, like astronomy, I can't read it. Although she couldn't read it, she was still very proud. The daughter is excellent, but the years are honorable.

Mrs. Taininghou was a little surprised: "The fourth girl actually learned cursive?" Her son's favorite is Zhang Xu's "Cursive Heart Sutra", and after practicing for so many years, everyone said that her son was good at cursive, but the words were also like ghost drawings, and she couldn't understand them. But just because she can't read it doesn't mean she doesn't understand it, she knows that cursive is the most difficult thing to practice.

Qiu Shi smiled and nodded, and said that Yuxi's embroidery work is particularly brilliant: "This child also has talent, and she learned the needlework that others can learn in a month or two, but she learned it in three or five days." Look at how well this veil is embroidered, I can't even bear to use it. After speaking, she handed the handkerchief she had taken from Yuxi's hand yesterday to Mrs. Taininghou.

Mrs. Taininghou looked at the handkerchief, and a rose flower was embroidered in the lower right corner of the handkerchief. The needlework is fine and decent, the color is ingenious, and the embroidery is just like the real thing. This embroiderer can't be compared to the best embroiderers in her mansion.

Mrs. Lin looked at this handkerchief with some surprise: "Madam, you open it and take a look." ”

Mrs. Taininghou turned it over and saw that there was also a beautiful rose on the back. I looked at it several times, and the front and back were the same. Mrs. Taininghou was shocked and said, "Is this really embroidered by the four girls?" Although there were rumors that Yuxi could embroider double-sided embroidery, many people didn't think so when they heard it. No matter how talented you are, without the guidance of the master, it is impossible to embroider on both sides. And Yuxi's works have not been circulated, so many people don't believe it when they hear it. But now, Mrs. Taininghou can't help but believe it. The reason is very simple, if this family business is done, Yuxi will marry into the Chen family in the future, and no one will be stupid enough to deceive her future husband with such a lie.

Seeing Mrs. Taininghou's reaction, the Qiu clan was very proud in his heart, and the Qiu clan couldn't hide this pride in his heart: "Yes! You said such a beautiful veil, where can I be willing to use it." After saying this, he also focused on how Yuxi was filial and how good he was to his two elder brothers. Qiu's words are just to let Mrs. Taininghou know that Yuxi is a well-behaved, sensible and considerate child.

When Mrs. Taininghou heard this, she felt that she should reassess the four girls of the Han family, and the news she inquired about before was afraid that there was a lot of water.

Yuxi took Shisu out of the courtyard and went in the direction of 'Yiwang Qingquan', and had already made an appointment before, so they met here.

Before he reached the ground, Yuxi heard a melodious flute. The flute sound rises melodiously, crisp and soft, euphemistic and clear coexist. It's like a natural sound, pleasant!

The flute fell, and Yuxi walked over, feeling guilty. It's cold now, and there are very few people who come to offer incense, so if someone plays the flute here on weekdays, a group of people will come.

Yuxi was a little surprised to see Chen Ran. Today's Chen Ran is a little different from the past. Wearing a rain-soaked brocade robe, the robe was embroidered with dark flower moire, and he wore soft-soled boots of the same color, and a white wide fox fur covered with it. Such a young man is really handsome and bright, and he is full of brilliance. Ruo Yuxi is really a thirteen-year-old girl, seeing such an outstanding young man, and in such a poetic scene, she is 100% devoted to this person, maybe she will not marry.

Chen Ran saw Yuxi, but smiled lightly: "You are here." This look and this action seemed to be how familiar the two were.

Yuxi asked expressionlessly: "Your mother came to our house to propose, do you know about this?" This guy is a person with a brain circuit very different from others, so she will not be confused by this guy's appearance!

Chen Ran was not surprised at all by Yuxi's straightforwardness: "I know, I asked my mother to go to the Han family to propose." After saying this, he added: "I told your entourage before, I will be responsible." ”

Yuxi rolled his eyes and said, "It's just a rumor, the Taining Marquis Mansion has also come forward to clarify, and it has no impact on me, so you don't have to say anything that you are responsible for." And I don't have to be responsible for you. ”

Chen Ran said: "Saying that I am responsible is just a pretext, even if there are no rumors, I will let my mother come to the door to propose." ”

Yuxi said, "Why do you want to marry me? What do you like about me?"

A smile appeared on the corner of Chen Ran's mouth: "I think you are good, I want to marry you, where are there so many why?" Other girls must have been shy when they heard that someone wanted to marry them, but Han Yuxi was different, but the alternative was good, he was also different, and he was very compatible.

Yuxi snorted coldly and said, "You can fool others, but you can't fool me." Tell me, why do you want to marry me? If you don't tell the truth, I'll go back. After saying that, he looked like he was about to leave.

Chen Ran asked, "What will happen if you don't say it?"

Yuxi sneered: "Don't say it, it proves that you want to marry me." I will convince my mother and eldest brother to refuse this family business. ”

The corners of Chen Ran's mouth rose, this is the person he wants to marry, he doesn't obey fate, he doesn't go against the grain, he is true and bold, how can the puppets his mother find for her can compare. Chen Ran didn't have an appetite either, and said, "Do you remember what happened in the Jiang family?"

Yuxi nodded: "I remember, I saw you in the courtyard of Old Madam Jiang at that time." What's wrong? You have something to do with the Jiang family marrying me?"

Chen Ran said: "After you left, Mrs. Jiang said a lot of good things about you. Say that you are well-behaved and sensible, and that you are a good girl. "Needless to say, if you're in good health.

The corners of Yuxi's mouth twitched: "You don't want to marry me just because of Mrs. Jiang's words? Well-behaved and considerate girls abound, not one worse than me." ”

Mrs. Jiang's words just made Chen Ran have a good impression of Yuxi. What really impressed Chen Ran with Yuxi was that Yuxi rejected the Jiang family's family affairs: "I got the news from the Jiang family and knew that your biological father had agreed to the Jiang family's family affairs, but later he couldn't help it." If I'm not mistaken, you probably don't agree, right?"

The corners of Yuxi's mouth twitched, and this guy was too good at making up his brain: "I'm sorry to tell you, I didn't know when the Jiang family came to propose, it was my grandmother who refused." After speaking, he added: "In addition to this reason, what else?"

Chen Ran said very seriously: "People outside say that you are destined to fail, and even your biological father believes this, for fear that you will be swept out of the house by you." But you didn't feel sorry for yourself because of this blow, but lived very comfortably in your own Zhuangzi. I admire this very much. You should have heard that my mother has shown me a lot of girls, and those girls have very good family backgrounds and talents, but I don't look down on any of them, not because they are bad, but I know that these girls are like flowers in a greenhouse, and they have to wither as soon as they are put outside. Although I am the son of the Marquis of Taining, the future will not be smooth sailing. Therefore, the wife I want to marry is one who can withstand the wind and rain, not a delicate flower that needs to be carefully cared for in a greenhouse. This is the real reason why Chen Ran wants to marry Yuxi.

Yuxi stared at Chen Ran, looking at Chen Ran's expression very seriously, knowing that what he said was from the heart, and there was a trace of fluctuation in his heart.
