Chapter 16

If it were him in his previous life, he would probably be willing to make friends with Meng Jiao now, not only because of his talent, but also because of his father.

But in his previous life, he took advantage of his friendship with him and deliberately discredited that person in front of him.

At the time, he thought it was because Meng Jiao regretted breaking off the engagement with that man, but later he found out that he actually wanted to take that man as his concubine after he succeeded in sowing discord...

Thinking of the past, Xiao Musheng sighed.

Wen Xu followed up and saw a few people standing still, so he asked, "Why are you all here? Didn't you say you were going to Yunhua Pavilion?"

Chen Ce glanced at Xiao Musheng and then at Lu He. Seeing that Lu He was about to tell what happened just now, he quickly jumped in and said, "We have been waiting for you, brother Yan Chu."

"Wait for me?" Wen Xu thought for a moment, without doubting that he was there, and finally said: "You three brothers have been waiting for a long time, then let me lead the way!"

Seeing that Wen Xu was really heading towards Yunhua Pavilion, several people quickly followed him.

Seeing that neither Wen Xu nor Xiao Musheng paid attention to him, Lu He quietly walked up to Chen Ce, lowered his voice and asked: "Hengzhi, did you just..."

"Just now? What happened to me just now?" Chen Ce opened his fan, tilted his head and asked with a smile on his face.

"Didn't we just stop to ask Brother Ziqing and the girl from the Xie family if they were old acquaintances? Why did we avoid talking about it when Brother Yanchu asked?"

When Chen Ce heard this, he put away his fan and knocked Lu He on the head.

Seeing him covering his head and looking at him, Chen Ce explained: "Whether or not the Xie family girl and Zi Qing know each other, it is not something that outsiders like you and I should know. I was confused just now and forgot about it."

It is said that when Emperor Gaozu was conquering the world, a woman once saved his life. After Emperor Gaozu ascended the throne, he ordered the abolition of many regulations that had been used to restrict women in the previous dynasty.

With this precedent, women's status has been slowly improved in each dynasty and each generation. Now, even if the couple decides to get married and divorce due to emotional discord, the woman can remarry.

But despite this, many parents will still use the previous standards to demand women. It is a taboo for an unmarried woman to be tied to a foreign man and is criticized by others. It will damage the woman's reputation.

At this point, Lu He suddenly realized, he stopped asking any more questions and decided to imprint everything Xiao Musheng said in his mind.

Regardless of whether what Xiao Musheng just said is true or not, they have to take it as true. If someone asks next time, they can answer with what Xiao Musheng said just now.

After all, when Xiao Musheng was talking to Meng Jiao, there were many people around watching...

Yunhua Pavilion is located at the junction of Chang'an Lane and Changding Lane in Shengjing. The attic is circular and has two floors. Each position has only a six-foot-high fence and a bamboo curtain made of bamboo.

The four of them happened to occupy a spot, so they simply adjusted their skirts, and then they all knelt down on the futon that had been prepared.

There was a charcoal fire burning on the side, and boiling water on top of the charcoal fire. Chen Ce picked up the tea tongs, put some tea leaves into the four cups in front of him, poured the boiling water in, and buckled the cup lids, and you were done.

Seeing Chen Ce's smooth movements, Lu He couldn't help but said: "My hometown also uses this method of making tea. I thought Shengjing would be different!"

"The people in Shengjing like to add other things to their tea, such as wolfberry, candied dates, etc. I can't get used to it. When I first came to Shengjing, I searched for a long time before I found Yunhua Pavilion. Finally, I found that it had to be this

Only pure tea is more to my liking."

As Chen Ce spoke, he picked up one of the cups of tea, flipped the lid twice, then lowered his head and took a sip. Finally, he couldn't help but close his eyes and enjoy it, and sighed:
