Men are superior to women: the heartthrob in Yunqi

Wind - Stop

In the main courtyard

Ye Jingshu, Xu Yuanming and Xu Ruchen looked at each other in silence.

Xu Yuanming took a sip of hot tea and sighed: "Our Xu family has a good daughter-in-law!"

"That's right! I never thought A Yao had such a broad mind. When I heard Shen Liuying describe it like that... I was really afraid that A Yao would abandon Qingcheng. Thank God, God bless you!" Ye Jingshu said with lingering fear.

"It's better to thank your daughter-in-law than to thank God. A Yao is extraordinary, and Qingcheng is a blessed woman! The day after tomorrow is a day off, let's go to Wanfu Temple and pray for Ruchen and Licheng, and bless them to find a good and considerate wife like A Yao as soon as possible." Xu Yuanming, at his old age, actually envied his own son.

"Yes, yes!" Ye Jingshu instantly perked up when she mentioned her two sons' marriages. She turned to look at Xu Ruchen and said, "Ruchen, come with us to Wanfu Temple the day after tomorrow to get some good fortune."

Xu Ruchen sat upright with his eyelids drooped, motionless and in deep thought.

Xu Yuanming thought he was still upset about Shen Liuying, so he comforted him, "There are many beautiful women in the world, and Shen Liuying is not the only one in Shangjing. Your parents will definitely find a better marriage for you than the Shen family."

Xu Ruchen was feeling depressed and his eyes were filled with fatigue. He looked up at Xu Yuanming and replied calmly, "Dad, you and mom don't have to worry about my marriage. I don't want to get married yet."

"What nonsense are you talking about! You are already 28! Your father already had a daughter of your age!" When Ye Jingshu heard her son say that he didn't want to get married, she immediately became anxious and her tone became a little higher with excitement.

Xu Ruchen smiled bitterly in his heart. The girl he liked would never be with him. What was the point of getting married?

"Mother, there are many young men in Beijing who are still unmarried at the age of 28, but none of them are as anxious as you are."

Ye Jingshu sneered, and said with a look of regret: "Yes, they are not anxious like you, but their parents are anxious! Just like me and your father now! You just compare yourself with those older guys, what's the point? There are more than 28-year-old guys who haven't married in Beijing. There are also many 82-year-old old men who have been bachelors all their lives! Why don't you learn from your third brother! Look at Qingcheng, he got married at the age of 23, and found the best daughter-in-law in the world for our Xu family! What about you?"

Ye Jingshu became more and more excited as she spoke. Xu Ruchen was the eldest son, and she and Xu Yuanming had devoted the most effort to him. There were only a few unmarried noble ladies in the capital, and when they were all married, they could only choose from noble ladies in the surrounding areas or even farther away. She didn't expect Xu Ruchen to be as lucky as Qingcheng, and to have a perfect wife who would knock on the door of their Xu family.

"You also said that the best woman in the world has already married Qingcheng, so who else do you expect me to love!" Xu Qingcheng suddenly stood up. Her fragile heart could not withstand any more cracks and completely shattered.

When he spoke out his true feelings, everyone, including himself, was stunned.

Xu Ruchen's hands seemed to be out of control, trembling slightly, and he turned and strode away.

Ye Jingshu's pupils trembled violently, and she looked at Xu Yuanming in horror. Ruchen actually had inappropriate thoughts about Ayao, what should she do?

Xu Yuanming knew Ruchen's thoughts. He had warned him before, but he didn't expect that he would still fall into it step by step.

Although it is useless to miss someone, it is not a bad thing to be sad. Ruchen still got into a dead end.

"Come with me to the Minister of Personnel's residence to visit the elders later." Xu Yuanming said.

Ye Jingshu was stunned and shocked: "Yuanming, you want to..."

Xu Yuanming nodded, "That's right. I still remember the good Erhu played by Mr. Zhu's daughter, Zhu Errou, at the music banquet last time. Although she is not as good-looking as Shen Liuying, she is pretty and lovely, quite talented, and has a gentle and kind temperament, which makes her a good match for Ruchen.

"No!" Ye Jingshu flatly rejected Xu Yuanming's proposal.

"Why?" Xu Yuanming was slightly surprised. He didn't expect that his wife would look down on Zhu Errou.

Ye Jingshu sighed and replied sadly, "It's too late! Minister Xu's family has already asked all the other ministers for marriage for their youngest son Xu Da's marriage."

They are well-informed in the circle of noble ladies, and the wife of the Minister of Rites, Sun Jinxin, had just mentioned this matter to her a few days ago.

"Oh? Have the elders agreed?" Xu Yuanming confirmed.

Ye Jingshu thought about it and shook her head: "I haven't heard of this."

"That's it. Let them raise their own issues and we will raise our own issues. There will be no conflict." Xu Yuanming did not care about so many things. He wanted to remove the thorn in Xu Ruchen's heart as soon as possible.

"This... isn't good. How about we see if there are other noble ladies of the right age?" Ye Jingshu was worried. She had a close relationship with Sun Jinxin and they could be considered her best friend.

"Then tell me, is there any noble lady in the capital who is worthy of Ruchen?" Xu Yuanming asked in return.

Ye Jingshu was stunned by the question. After thinking about it carefully, she really couldn't think of a noble lady more suitable than Zhu Errou.

"Yuanming, how about... asking Ayao, since Ruchen likes Ayao..." Ye Jingshu felt sorry for her son.

"Don't even think about it. I advise you to give up this idea as soon as possible." Xu Yuanming sternly blocked what Ye Jingshu wanted to say.

"If you open this loophole for Ruchen, what about Licheng? You are an experienced person, can't you see what Licheng is thinking? Don't you know Qingcheng's personality? Ayao's five husbands are enough to make him anxious, and you have to drag the other two sons in the family to make things more difficult for Qingcheng? A harmonious family is the foundation of everything!"

"How about this, I will visit the Minister of Personnel's residence alone later to find out what the elders think. If Sun Jinxin asks, just pretend you don't know, it's just my idea." Xu Yuanming said as he wrote the visiting card.

Ye Jingshu nodded stiffly.
