Chapter 163 Marriage Proposal (3)
When Qiu Shi and Yuxi arrived at Lingshan Temple, the people from Taining Houfu and Chen Ran had already arrived, and they had been waiting for nearly two quarters of an hour.
Mrs. Taining Hou saw Yuxi, and said with a smile: "The old saying says that women have changed their minds by the eighteenth grade, and this is true." The little girl's face was as crystal as jade, and her skin as radiant as snow, smiling at her. When I was young, my eyes were bent like crescent moons, and I liked it just looking at them.
Mrs. Taininghou had met Yuxi twice before, and in her memory, the child always 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 have changed, but Mrs. Taininghou liked such a change.
Yu Xi didn't know the change in her mood, which made her mental outlook completely new. And her change is something that many people love to hear.
After hearing this, Qiu was very happy: "Children don't need to boast."
Yuxi stepped forward and saluted Mrs. Taininghou in a polite manner. Yuxi is not bad at learning the rules and etiquette, and no one can fault this point.
Marquis Taining waited for Yuxi to complete the ceremony, then smiled and pulled out the emerald-embedded amethyst hairpin on her head, and inserted it on Yuxi's head: "Little girl, you can't be too plain." In this regard, with her The son has a comparison. The son is also very plain in terms of dress, never wearing a purse or jade pendant, and his clothes are either white or blue, and he doesn't wear colorful ones anyway.
Seeing that Mrs. Taining Hou spoke softly, and what she said to her was not pretentious, Yuxi felt at ease. Maybe, she is prejudiced, not everyone is like Yu Shi: "Thank you Madam for the gift."
Madam Tai Ninghou nodded her head lightly. She was dissatisfied with Yu Xi a lot before, but now she sees people and sees that she behaves like everyone else, not as bad as she thought. In fact, people are a little biased. Mrs. Taininghou didn't have a deep impression of Yuxi before, and her evaluation of Yuxi was all based on the information she heard. The news that the servants inquired about was unavoidably biased. That's why there is a saying called, hearing is believing, seeing is believing.
Seeing the same thing, Qiu Shi smiled and said to Yu Xi: "If you want to be bored, go out for a walk and come back for lunch later."
After Yuxi left, Mrs. Taininghou asked, "Why do I see Miss Si's hands have thin calluses?" Some things are hard to ask in front of her. But she was really surprised, for a girl from a rich family, that hand is like a second face. Whose girl's little hands are white and tender like green onions if they don't take care of them. This is the first time she has seen a girl's hands with thin calluses. This made Mrs. Taininghou couldn't help thinking, maybe this child is still working at home.
Qiu didn't expect Mrs. Taininghou's eyes to be so good, and said with a smile: "This child used to study with Mr. Song. Mr. Song was very strict and asked them to write two hundred characters every day. This child has developed a habit, even if Song Mr. has resigned from the library, but this child still insists on practicing calligraphy every day. After practicing for so many years, it is still very fruitful, and the calligraphy is like a painting, which is very beautiful."
Mrs. Taininghou was very surprised when she heard this: "You mean, the fourth girl insists on writing two hundred characters every day? Never stopped in these years?"
Qiu nodded and said, "Except for being sick, I have never stopped. But this child has practiced cursive script in addition to the plum blossom script taught by Mr. Song. But the cursive script is like astronomy, and I can't understand it." Don't understand, but she is still very proud. The daughter is excellent, but her age has nothing to do with her glory.
Mrs. Taininghou was a little surprised: "The fourth girl actually learned cursive script?" Her son's favorite is Zhang Xu's "Cursive Script Heart Sutra". It's like a ghostly talisman, and she can't understand it. But if she can't understand it, it doesn't mean she doesn't understand it. She knows that cursive script is the most difficult to practice.
Qiu nodded with a smile, and said that Yu Xi's embroidery work is particularly brilliant: "This child also has talent,
She learned acupuncture techniques in three to five days, which others take one or two months to learn. Look at how well embroidered this handkerchief is, I am reluctant to use it. "After finishing speaking, she handed the handkerchief she took from Yuxi yesterday to Mrs. Taininghou.
Mrs. Tai Ninghou looked at this veil, which had a rose flower embroidered on the top and bottom right corner. The needle work is fine and decent, the color design is ingenious, and the embroidery is as real as it is. This embroiderer is incomparable to the best embroiderer in her mansion.
Mrs. Lin looked at the handkerchief with some surprise: "Madam, open it and have a look."
Mrs. Taininghou turned it over and saw that there was also a beautiful rose flower on the back. I read it over and over several times, and the front and back are the same. Mrs. Taining Hou said in shock: "Is this really embroidered by the fourth girl?" Although there were rumors that Yuxi could embroider double-sided embroidery, many people didn't take it seriously. No matter how talented one is, without the guidance of a master, it is impossible to embroider double-sided embroidery. And Yuxi didn't have any works spread out, so many people didn't believe it. But now, Mrs. Taining Hou couldn't help but not believe it. The reason is very simple, if this marriage is concluded, Yuxi will marry into the Chen family in the future, no one would be so stupid as to deceive her future husband's family with such a lie.
Seeing Mrs. Taininghou's reaction, Qiu was very proud, and she couldn't hide her pride: "Yes! You said such a beautiful handkerchief, how could I be willing to use it?" How filial Yuxi is and how kind she is to her two elder brothers. Qiu said this to let Mrs. Taining Hou know that Yuxi is a well-behaved, sensible and considerate child.
After hearing this, Mrs. Tai Ninghou felt that she should re-evaluate the fourth girl of the Han family. The information she inquired about before was probably a lot of water.
Yuxi took Zisu out of the yard, and headed towards the direction of 'Yiwang Qingquan'. She had made an appointment before and met here.
Before arriving, Yuxi heard a melodious flute sound. The sound of the flute rises melodiously, crisp and soft, euphemistic and clear. Just like the sound of nature, pleasant to the heart!
When the sound of the flute fell, Yu Xi walked over, slandering her in her heart. It's cold now, and there are very few people who come to offer incense. If someone plays the flute here on weekdays, a group of people will surely come.
Yuxi was a little surprised to see Chen Ran. Today's Chen Ran is a little different from before. He was wearing a blue brocade robe embroidered with cloud patterns, and he was wearing soft-soled boots of the same color. He was covered with a large white fox fur, which made his complexion even more beautiful. Such a young man is really handsome with bright eyes and inner brilliance. If Yuxi is really a thirteen-year-old girl, seeing such an outstanding young man and being in such a poetic scene again, and she is 100% in love with this person, maybe she will not marry her.
When Chen Ran saw Yuxi, he smiled lightly: "You're here." This look and movement seemed to be familiar to both of them.
Yuxi asked blankly: "Your mother came to our house to propose marriage, do you know about this?" This guy has a brain circuit that is completely different from others, so she won't be confused by this guy's appearance!
Chen Ran was not surprised at Yuxi's straightforwardness: "I know, I asked my mother to propose marriage to the Han family." After saying this, he added another sentence: "I told your entourage before , I will be responsible."
Yuxi rolled her eyes and said, "It's just a rumor, and the Taining Hou Mansion also came forward to clarify it. This has no effect on 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 an excuse to be responsible. Even if there were no rumors, I would have asked my mother to come to propose marriage."
Yuxi said: "Why do you want to marry me? What do you like about me?" Talking about this kind of thing openly will have a better effect.
A smile appeared on the corner of Chen Ran's mouth: "I just think you are good, and I want to marry you, why are there so many?" Other girls must be very shy when they hear that someone wants to marry themselves, but Han Yuxi is different, but it's good to be different , he is also an alternative, very matching.
Yuxi snorted coldly, and said: "You can deceive others, but you cannot deceive me. Tell me, why do you want to marry me? If you don't tell the truth, I will go back." After finishing speaking, she pretended to leave look.
Chen Ran asked: "Do you have to say it? What will happen if you don't say it?"
Yu Xi sneered and said: "Don't say it, it proves that you want to marry me for other reasons. I will persuade my mother and elder brother to reject this marriage."
The corners of Chen Ran's mouth turned upwards, this is the person he wants to marry, he doesn't resign himself to fate, he doesn't resign himself to his fate, he is real and bold, how can it be compared to those puppets his mother found for her. Chen Ran didn't whet his appetite either, and said, "Do you still remember what happened at Jiang's house?"
Yu Xi nodded: "I remember, I saw you in Mrs. Jiang's yard. What's the matter? You marry me and have something to do with Jiang's family?" Jiang's family, that is Yu Xi's deepest shadow.
Chen Ran said: "After you left, Mrs. Jiang said a lot of good things about you. It's good to say that you are well-behaved and sensible, and you are a good girl." Needless to say, you are in good health.
The corner of Yuxi's mouth twitched: "You don't want to marry me just because of Mrs. Jiang's words? There are many girls who are well-behaved, considerate, and good-natured, and I am not the only one."
Mrs. Jiang's words only made Chen Ran have a good impression of Yuxi. What really made Chen Ran look at Yu Xi with admiration was Yu Xi's refusal of the Jiang family's marriage: "I got news from the Jiang family that your biological father had agreed to the Jiang family's marriage, but later he refused. If I guessed correctly , it should be that you don't agree with it, right?"
The corner of Yuxi's mouth twitched, and this guy was too good at imagining: "I'm sorry to tell you that when the Jiang family came to propose marriage, I didn't even know that it was my grandmother who refused." After finishing speaking, he added: "Besides this reason ,anything else?"
Chen Ran said seriously: "Everyone outside said that your fate is bad, and even your biological father believed it. He was afraid that you would be implicated and kick you out. But you didn't blame yourself because of this blow. I live very comfortably. I admire this. You should have heard that my mother has seen many girls for me. Those girls have 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 kept in a greenhouse, and they will wither once they are put outside. Although I am the son of Marquis Taining, the future cannot be smooth sailing. So, I think The wife to be married is someone who can withstand 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.
Yu Xi stared at Chen Ran, looking at Chen Ran with a very serious expression, knowing that what he said came from the heart, and there was a slight wave of fluctuation in her heart. (to be continued)
