After a while, Fangting led Mother Lin and a middle-aged beautiful woman in. Yuan stood up to greet him, and Mother Qin ordered the little maid to serve tea again.

The middle-aged beautiful woman is Chen, the wife of Zuo Shaoqing of Honglu Temple. Chen is kind-hearted and smiles, making people easily approached. Before she came in, she praised the scenery of the inner courtyard of the Hou Mansion. Yuan smiled and responded, neither flattering nor polite.

After sitting down, the little maid served tea. The three of them said a few irrelevant words before Mama Lin got back to the topic. She said, "I came here mainly to convey the meaning of Mrs. Ying." As she said that, she took out a long box of lotus embroidered with treads from her arms and pushed it in front of Yuan, "Madam, let's see if it's suitable."

Yuan opened the box and there was a red post inside. The post contained a person's family background and birth date and horoscope. She was happy, but her face was calm. She thought that this must be the general situation of Mr. Jiang San, but when she looked carefully, her heart suddenly tugged and could no longer calm down. She looked up at Lin's mother in panic, "This is..."

Mother Lin said: "This is sent by Anxing Bo Qi's family. I want to ask the fifth girl of your mansion. This is also the meaning of Mrs. Ying. I think the fifth girl in your mansion is very suitable for Master Qi's second son."

Yuan was naturally unhappy. He clearly said that it was Mr. Jiang’s third son, but why did he become Mr. Qi Er? And he was still the same...

Chen continued: "In theory, I shouldn't be this Baoshan, but the wife of the Duke of Ying asked him to come and said that Concubine Qi was very concerned about the marriage of Master Qi Second Master Qi. No matter what character or appearance, as long as she married Master Qi Second Master Qi and gave birth to a son and half a daughter, she would satisfy the other party's wish, and the other party's family would also support him."

The Qi family was originally a gentry family, but when Concubine Qi's grandfather was middle-aged, the family was lost. When the emperor was still a prince, the third girl of the Qi family was selected as a concubine. After the emperor ascended the throne for half a year, the third prince was born, and she was named the imperial concubine. The Qi family was prosperous again. As the saying goes, one person was promoted to the immortal, the imperial concubine's father was also granted the title of Anxing Bo. In addition, the second girl of the Qi family married to the Duke of Ying's Mansion. The two families helped each other, had a wide range of factions, and the foundation in the court was stable.

Now that Concubine Qi is the sage of the Holy Family, the Second Master Qi is her nephew. As long as she pleases her, are you still afraid of not getting any benefits? Yuan struggled in his heart, wanting to agree and afraid that someone would be guided behind his back. After all, the other party is not a normal person. If it were Mr. Jiang, it would be fine, at least he would show his side to others.

Seeing that Yuan had not made a decision for a long time, Mother Lin leaned into her ear and said a few words.

Then Yuan said, "The rumors outside... are they true?"

Chen said, "I'm not afraid to tell you honestly. Some things can't be hidden anyway. The rumors outside are true, but Concubine Qi is very concerned about this nephew and wants to find a woman with a good match, a unique personality, and is not afraid of rumors. The Duke of Ying Guo saw that the fifth girl was very suitable, so he asked me to protect this mountain, otherwise I wouldn't have gone this trip. You can think carefully about whether it's feasible and give us an answer."

How could Yuan say that it was not possible? Besides, Chu Xinyu's marriage is not the only one who has the final say. If the old lady Chu nodded, even if she was scolded in the future, someone would share some of it.

After being polite to Chen and Mama Lin, Chen stood up and said goodbye. Yuan sent them to the Chuhuamen. Mama Lin turned around and said, "Madam, next month is the Dragon Boat Festival, and anything may happen. I hope you will reply to the wife of Duke Ying as soon as possible."

Speaking of Dragon Boat Festival, Yuan certainly understood what she meant, so he nodded happily and said, "I understand, after discussing with my old lady, she agreed, we will change the Geng Post to determine the wedding date."

Chu Xinyu, who was in the Painting Gallery, was thinking about how to get close to the painter, but he didn't know that Yuan, who was in the Marquis's Mansion, began to plot against her lifelong affairs again.

At this moment, she was standing in the corridor outside the VIP room of the Painting Gallery. Jiang Wu had been walking in with the painting for a while. She was still hesitating whether to push the door, because would it be a bit reckless to disturb others like this?

However, at this moment, the VIP door opened again, and Jiang Wu walked out first. He bent over slightly, as if he was bowing to the person behind him.

A man wearing a dark blue golden silk brocade robe, a jade crown tied with a transparent jade pendant around his waist stepped out, followed by a boy wearing an indigo robe, holding a scroll that Jiang Wugang sent in in his hand.

Chu Xinyu couldn't think about this situation because the other party had discovered her and without any hesitation, she took two steps forward, bent her knees slightly, raised her head, and then hit her deep and dark pupils.

The clear and sharp eyes made Chu Xinyu's heart tremble. The man in front of him looked very beautiful, with his facial features as delicately crafted, elegant and clean. The black-green brocade robe made him look slender and straight. Just standing in front of her, it gave people a strong sense of oppression, which made people feel unconsciously nervous.

Chu Xinyu opened his mouth slightly, trying to say something, but forgot the prepared opening remark for a moment, and stared at him straight. For some reason, a blurred face flashed through his mind.

She wondered why she thought of that person at this time. She had become a stranger and couldn't even remember his appearance.

The boy in an indigo robe saw Chu Xinyu blocking the way, but he didn't say anything. He stared at the man naked, and couldn't help frowning, and stood in front of the man strode, blocking Chu Xinyu's vision, and said, "Miss, I don't know what's wrong?"

Chu Xinyu came to his senses and saw his movements as if he was guarding against a wolf. He couldn't help but feel funny. As for this?

Fortunately, the customs of the Xu Dynasty were relatively open and there were no restrictions on women. Therefore, her behavior just now was a bit rude, but it would not be considered frivolous.

But she was wrong. In the eyes of the young man who was eager to protect his master, her behavior was frivolous.

Chu Xinyu's eyes were all focused on the scroll in the boy's hand, and he had no time to think about whether his actions would make people misunderstand. Seeing that the boy blocked her vision, he took a step sideways, bent his knees slightly towards the man, and directly told him his purpose: "Young Master, I'm sorry to bother you. I wonder if you can sell Liu Zhenzhi's "Middle Autumn Night" to me?"

Hearing this, the man's indifferent and clear eyes swept coldly at Jiang Wu. Jiang Wu shook unconsciously, and a hint of embarrassment flashed across his face. The man obviously realized that this girl was related to him here.

Finally, the man's eyes fell on Chu Xinyu, with a bit of awe-inspiring scrutiny.

Chu Xinyu was wearing a brocade-colored double-breasted top today, a long skirt of the same color, and the collar and hem were embroidered with pear blossom patterns. A blue-white silk ribbon was tied around her waist, and a crystal white jade hairpin was inserted on her hair bun. Her face was covered with gauze. She couldn't see her appearance clearly, but from the blurry gallery, she should have a good appearance.

Feeling his gaze, Chu Xinyu raised his eyes and looked straight at him. He pursed his lips, his black eyes narrowed slightly. Human eyes were the window of the soul, and she liked to look at human eyes. His eyes were clear, pure, without any impurities, and were very beautiful, but there was no other emotion except indifference.

The man's thin lips moved slightly: "Don't cut."

His voice was low and cold, his words were short, his tone was calm but without any emotion, which made Chu Xinyu not know how to respond.

Finally, he attracted his son. Although he was a little cold to Miss Yu at the beginning, he was behind him... (I am a pampering article, not abused)

ps: Don’t underestimate this little painting. Why does Miss Yu want it so much? That is an important foreshadowing.
