Quick Wear: The Beautiful Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character Loses Her Memory
Chapter 78 From now on, I can only watch her from afar (25)
Three days later, on a sunny day, Qin Yao and Xue Han rode their horses and arrived at the door of Xie's house together.
After they dismounted, they handed the reins to the servant at the door, then straightened their clothes and walked into the Xie family's gate.
After entering the Xie family, the two were led into a spacious and bright reception room.
After a while, Mrs. Xie and General Xie walked in together.
This time, it was Madam Xie who spoke first. She smiled and praised, "Mr. Xue is indeed a handsome man!"
Her gaze fell on Xue Han, her eyes full of admiration.
"Thank you for your compliment, Ma'am. My nephew still needs more experience." Qin Yao replied modestly, but a hint of pride unconsciously flashed across his face.
Xue Han stood aside with a smile, listening quietly to the conversation between the elders.
He knew in his heart that as a junior he should remain polite and humble in such occasions.
However, his eyes inadvertently swept around and discovered a detail.
It turned out that in this reception hall, there was a floor-to-ceiling screen on each side of General Xie and his wife.
The screen is divided into three sides, and the middle part is not made of ordinary gauze or silk, but of expensive colored glass.
Each screen is inlaid with two pieces of colored glaze of the same size, and between the two pieces of colored glaze is an exquisite fine brushwork painting.
Xue Han observed these paintings carefully and found that they depicted the twelve flowers that were quite popular at the time.
Three different kinds of flowers are displayed on the screens on each side, for a total of six pictures.
These paintings have delicate lines and bright colors, as if they bring real flowers to life before your eyes.
While watching, Xue Han suddenly noticed that there were overlapping and flashing light and dark shadows behind the screen. Thinking of the traditional custom of women from noble families in the capital city to choose their husbands, he could almost guess that there must be someone behind the screen.
And it is very likely that she is his future wife - Xie Jingshu, the second daughter of the Xie family.
Xue Han looked at the screen with burning eyes, as if he wanted to see through it.
Mrs. Xie immediately noticed the strangeness of the young man. She also glanced at the screen and laughed in her heart: This man has a very good eye. In order to let her daughter know the other party's intention of coming to the house, she ordered people to split a set of six screens into two groups in advance.
The purpose was to stand on both sides of the hall so as not to appear inconspicuous. Unexpectedly, Xue Han noticed his daughter as soon as she walked from the back door of the hall behind the screen.
General Xie also noticed that Xue Han was staring at the screen at this time: "Does my nephew like this screen too?"
Xue Han, who was suddenly "called", nodded quickly: "This screen is indeed a little different from the usual ones, and the painting inside is even more impressive."
"Of course!" Xie Linyuan was praised like this, and his expression immediately became proud, "My dear nephew, do you know who painted this picture?"
"Please forgive my poor eyesight, but I am not very familiar with the famous masters in the capital." Xue Han shook his head.
"Hehe!" Xie Linyuan's face was almost filled with pride. "This set of paintings has a total of twelve paintings, twelve seasonal flowers, which were painted when the current emperor was the crown prince. Look at the signature, it is the casual seal he used at that time."
At this moment, Mrs. Xie suddenly had an urge to cover Xie Linyuan's mouth.
Because at this time, Xue Han read out the content on the seal: "Great wisdom is like stupidity!"
If you look closely, you will find something very interesting here: the two words "智" (wise) and "愚" (foolish) on this seal are reversed. Of course, it is not the order of the words, but the direction of the words.
In other words, the idiom still means "great wisdom appears foolish", but two of the characters are carved upside down.
"How is it? You can't tell!" Xie Linyuan was still very excited at this moment, "Your Majesty's seal was also carved by him. When he was the crown prince, he liked to do these things."
Xue Han, who is so smart, seemed to understand the meaning of this seal. He was not only a little surprised that Emperor Qianxuan, who looked like a wise ruler, actually had such an ironic and bad taste.
I just don’t know whether General Xie knows about this matter, but looking at Mrs. Xie’s expression, she probably knows something about it.
"Let's not talk about this screen. I wonder why you two came to the Xie family this time... " Mrs. Xie asked knowingly.
Even though the matter has been made public, it is still not good for the woman to ask about the marriage first.
"I would like to marry the second young lady of your family. I hope the two elders will approve my wish." Xue Han bowed and spoke.
Xie Linyuan was surprised by Xue Han's directness. In his opinion, Xue Han was a scholar. Shouldn't scholars first say something roundabout and then say half of what they want to say?
The sudden and direct response made the clichés he had prepared before useless.
"Mr. Xue, this important matter of marriage needs the consent of the elders in the family. You..." Mrs. Xie saw that her husband Xie Linyuan did not speak, so she took over Xue Han's words. She couldn't just keep saying this!
"Please rest assured, Madam Xie. I came to the Xie Mansion with him this time to represent the wishes of the elders of the Xue family." Qin Yao spoke at this time, and he played the role of his elder status.
