Song and Tang Youyan

In the early morning of the second day, the father and elder brother were nowhere to be seen.It must have been a special trip back to tell me about the rumors in Beijing. I just finished washing up, and the servants came to invite me, "Mr. Zhang's daughter invites you to meet."

I just finished talking yesterday that my favorite daughter who didn't see many people suddenly wanted to see me today, so she must have understood what my father said yesterday. There is no way to lose, so he nodded slightly, "Please lead the way."

Out of the gate, there was a bright red sedan chair parked at the gate, I asked aloud, "Are you inviting me to the sedan chair?"

The servant rolled his eyes proudly, "Of course not, this sedan chair is exclusive to the lady, you? You are only worthy of walking with me."

...Walk as you walk, why do you look down on people so much?

After getting off the people, he really led me to walk behind the sedan chair, which attracted the attention of passers-by. It was also just when the rumors about me and Gu Yin were spreading more and more violently, and now I followed the red sedan chair step by step, really ... I don't know what is going to spread again.

When we got to Wanhua Building, the sedan chair stopped, so I had to stop too. Could it be that this member's daughter is still in a romantic place?

With the support of two or three maids, I slowly got out of the sedan chair, and I finally saw that Zhang Xinqing who was circulating in Beijing and had hundreds of portraits alone.

As expected, she was wearing a dark red chest-length brocade Ruyi long dress, covered with a layer of dark red beaded gauze, with Ruyi golden patterns faintly outlined on the beaded gauze, it did have a bit of fairy air, but she was wearing a veil, And it's still a bamboo hat and veil, so you can't see your face clearly.

The servant next to him said again, "What are you doing staring at my lady? Let me tell you, that's not something you can afford! Don't look like you're salivating, you're lazy and want to eat swan meat!" Even a fool can do it with contempt Listen out.

I looked at his high-spirited appearance, and I only had the word "fox fake tiger prestige" in my heart.I rolled my eyes at him, and he followed Zhang Xinqing's footsteps as he passed by.

As soon as he entered the door, the scantily clad bustard posted up, "Master, I see that you are well dressed and imposing, what kind of girl do you want? How about I introduce you, this Mu Yan, is our top card here. , you are satisfied!"

I avoided her calmly, and cupped my hands, "I'm just looking for someone, I don't intend to seek pleasure." I looked around, but I didn't see the dark red figure who just came in.

The old bustard really has eyesight and experienced a lot of battles to stand in the position. When she saw me looking around, she knew that I was looking for someone. She immediately said, "Young master is here to look for someone, right? I wonder if it is your wife or... brother ?”

A cold voice suddenly continued, "I brought him here." The bustard turned her head, and her face instantly became more amiable, "It turned out that Miss Zhang brought it, I was the one who was abrupt." Hurry up! Don't make Miss Zhang wait too long."

I followed her to a private room, she dismissed all the servants, and asked me, "Do you know why I'm looking for you?" It's true that like a father like a daughter, the tone of the questions is exactly the same.

I replied, "I have no intention of what my father mentioned yesterday, please rest assured, miss."

She snorted coldly, "You don't have that intention, and I don't want to," squinting at me, and continued, "I'm going to marry Mr. Gu from now on." She was a bit shy.

If I had water in my mouth now, I would have sprayed it out a long time ago. Why did these things happen to me?

I was a little embarrassed, "It is rumored that Miss is as beautiful as a fairy, and it is possible to match Gu Yin."

She tore off her bamboo hat and took a few steps closer to me, "Really? I also think I'm pretty." She pretended to be shy a few times.

But it stumped me, this...the rumor is really unbelievable!Who is this pair of red phoenix eyes with a wax gourd face and lips as thick as a sausage with freckles on his face!Eye-catching peony patterns are also painted between the eyebrows.

………………

I suddenly understood why so few people have seen her, and also why it is said that she is "beautiful as a fairy". blinded his own eyes.

Seeing that I didn't respond, she took a few steps closer, "What? Are you questioning my beauty?"

I am not afraid of being ugly, but I am afraid of not knowing that I am ugly.

I coughed a few times, "Miss is beautiful, as long as you know it yourself, why bother telling others to attract people's attention?" The implication is that it is enough for you to think you are beautiful, so why make it difficult for a discerning person to open his eyes and tell lies.

She obviously didn't understand what I meant, she turned softly and tilted her head, and said with a look of being moved by her beauty, "Really? My father also said that a beautiful person like me should not be grandstanding outside. Stay at home so as not to arouse the restlessness of the young talent." After speaking, he shyly once again.

Suddenly, I felt a little sympathetic to Zhang Yuanwai. As the saying goes, being a parent is hard. Zhang Yuanwai took great pains to hide his daughter's true appearance and cultivate him so confidently.

"I don't know if there is a bronze mirror in the girl's boudoir?"

She picked up the handkerchief and replied, "Father sent someone to take it away, because he was worried that I would waste female reds because I admired my beauty every day." She then asked doubtfully, "Why do you ask this?"

That's right, it must be because you are afraid that you will see your true appearance! "Oh, I'm also worried, so I'm asking this question."

She nodded thoughtfully, and then asked excitedly, "Your tone seems to have a very good friendship with Gu Mengyan, can you tell me about him? Including his hobbies and tastes, I'll do it early Get ready." His face turned red all of a sudden.

How do you know he will promise you?Not everyone has a mirror in their home!Even if Gu Yin fell in love with me, he wouldn't fall in love with you!

Hey... wait, what am I thinking! ! !

I deliberated and said again and again, "Actually, I don't know him very well, it's just that he was on the same road before. He has a bad temper, and he pretends to be noble. Ordinary people can't get into his eyes, and he just ignores me." -"

Before she finished speaking, she snorted coldly, "Naturally, I don't like to talk to you. Gu Mengyan is a person with a graceful face, not like what you said."

Heh, beauty is really in the eye of the beholder.Although Gu Yin's appearance is really good, he is gentle, elegant, dignified, and upright...

Wait, where am I thinking?This woman must have distracted my mind!

I didn't want to have any more conversations with her, so I bowed my body, "Since the young lady has finished asking me, I will leave."

Just as she was turning around, her voice sounded again, "Slow down."

I turned around, "What else is there for Miss?"

"You can't spread the word about my appearance today, let alone talk about it too much. I'm worried that there will be too many people proposing marriage, and it will be too noisy, so I won't be able to like Gu Mengyan calmly."

You put 120 hearts and no one will propose marriage!

"Miss, don't worry, I'm not someone who talks behind my back." After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked out of Wanhualou quickly, the churning feeling in his stomach could hardly be suppressed.

Fortunately, her maids didn't stop me when I went out, so I had to go to the small inn and drank a bowl of honey wine to calm down and vomit a little. As my father said, after two days of silence, the rumors really decreased a lot , Sitting in the small inn, there are not many rumors in my ears.

I drank a bottle of honey wine slowly, feeling slightly drunk, the breeze blowing by made me feel more comfortable, and as I walked home slowly, the servants immediately presented a letter, just like a few days ago, no matter what The envelope was unsigned, but it contained a lot of content, unlike the few words in the past few days.

[I know you have a lot of questions, but it's inconvenient to tell you now, you will understand everything in the future, don't read it. 】

I am more and more curious about who will send me letters every day. It seems that they are definitely friends, and they have difficulties in meeting me, so they communicate with me by writing letters, but among the friends I have been with But there has never been a person who is so careful and willing to act. Since he said that he will let me know in the future, let's wait until later. I will put the letter in a wooden box and keep it safe.

In the evening, I was walking in the garden, when suddenly the knocker on the gate rang, and there was no servant in the garden, so I had to go to open the door by myself.

As soon as the door was opened, there was a plain and clean figure, with black hair hanging down to the back of his head, two strands left on his chest, and meticulously broken hair on his forehead. Needless to say, everyone knew it was Gu Yin, but this time he didn't wear a bamboo hat.

I said first, "Why do you have time to come here? Are you not afraid of gossip outside?"

He was not annoyed, and said with a smile, "I never cared about those, and some of them are facts, why should I be afraid?"

Being serious made me feel uncomfortable.

I let him into the house, sat on the stone bench in the garden, poured him a cup of tea, and said, "What do you want me for?"

He was very calm, "Can't you come if you have nothing to do?"

I was so choked up that I was speechless, "Of course it's possible."

Thinking of something again, he said, "Do you know Zhang Yuanwai's daughter? She likes you very much."

"Oh?" He looked over, "I don't know."

After taking a sip of tea, he said, "Do you really care who likes me?"

...It sounds so awkward, what's going on?

"Someone likes Brother Gu, I'm naturally happy for you. It would be a beautiful thing to get married, wouldn't it be great?" I laughed dryly and continued.

He put away his smile and hummed twice, "In that case, I'll take my leave." After speaking, he really walked away quickly without stopping.

I picked up the teacup, but I couldn't figure out the reason, why did I leave with a very unhappy look after hearing my words?Am I saying the wrong thing?Or does he know that Zhang Yuanwai's daughter is actually... ugly?I shook my head, I didn't want to think about it, why bother myself.

On the second day, Li Tong came to look for me, and I talked with her for a few hours, she suddenly changed the subject and said, "What do you think of the words of the matchmaker ordered by your parents?"

I replied, "Feudal bad habits, free marriage should be advocated. It is natural for men and women to love each other. If feudal bad habits are put on, no matter how beautiful love is, it will disappear."

Thinking that she shouldn't suddenly ask this question, she asked again, "What? Your parents forced you to get married?"

She waved her hands again and again, "No, I just remembered that I violated a childhood promise." She smiled at me.

It was inconvenient for me to ask more questions, so I had to drink tea from a teacup, which seemed less embarrassing.
