There was a lot of movement, and Yu Ruiwen turned around quickly: "Your Majesty?"
"It's okay, my foot slipped." Feng Lanxiu's expression calmed down and he smiled slightly.
"My lord, be careful, some places on the rockery are indeed a little damp." Yu Ruiwen apologized, looking down at his feet and where Feng Lanxiu was standing. It looked clean and free of moss.
The chamberlain standing behind Feng Lanxiu looked past Feng Lanxiu and followed his gaze. A girl was walking slowly under the rockery with a maid.
Wearing a light pink halo shirt and a palace skirt embroidered with flowers and water mist, her shoulders are cut into a plain waist, her temples are decorated with flowers, her eyebrows are pretty, and the two slightly curly hair on her cheeks add a bit of softness.
style.
Such a beauty is rare!
"Master Marquis, who is this in the household?" Feng Lanxiu raised his chin slightly and asked.
Yu Ruiwen looked back and said hurriedly: "This is Wei Chen's second daughter."
"I have long heard that the second girl from the Xuanping Marquis Mansion is very beautiful and talented. I didn't expect... to be... really like this! I actually saw her when I was a child." Feng Lanxiu said nothing and followed her with his eyes.
The figure of Yu Yuxi under the rockery murmured.
These words were a bit unclear, and everyone could see the surprise in his eyes.
When she was young, Princess An and Dachang once brought Yu Yuxi into the palace...
"Your Majesty is too generous." Yu Ruiwen said hurriedly.
"It's not that I'm overly praised by the king. To say that a daughter of gold is worthy of this, it's even more than that!" Feng Lanxiu smiled and shook his sleeves, looking as if he wanted to turn around and sit in the pavilion.
He just took a step forward and asked casually, as if something suddenly occurred to him, "I heard that none of the daughters in the family have made a marriage decision?"
"You're still young, don't worry." If Yu Ruiwen couldn't hear anything at this time, then he was really stupid. After being stunned for a moment, he hurriedly replied.
"It's rare to see the second young lady in your house, and you can only learn by listening. Why don't you invite me to take a test?" Feng Lanxiu looked at Yu Ruiwen and said with a smile.
Although this was somewhat inappropriate, it was still reasonable. Yu Ruiwen had no choice but to agree and send his servant downstairs to invite Yu Yuxi over.
The two of them had just sat down in the pavilion when Yu Yuxi came up and bowed first to Yu Ruiwen in the pavilion.
"Xier, this is His Royal Highness Duan Wang." Yu Ruiwen pointed at Feng Lanxiu and introduced.
"I have met His Royal Highness Duan Wang." Yu Yuxi bowed gracefully again.
"No gift." Feng Lanxiu looked Yu Yuxi up and down, his smile became gentler, "I heard that Miss Yu is very talented, how about I give you a test?"
"Your Highness, Prince Duan, I am a young girl with little talent, and she is actually no better than others." Yu Yuxi declined modestly.
"How about writing a poem based on this scenery?" Feng Lanxiu smiled.
"Do you want to write it down?" Yu Yuxi did not refuse this time and thought for a while.
Feng Lanxiu clapped his hands: "Of course I wanted to write it down."
Then he looked at Yu Ruiwen with a smile. "Thank you, Marquis Xuanping."
Yu Ruiwen could only ask the boy to go down and prepare the pen and ink. When the boy came up, he spread the paper on the stone table and asked the boy to hold down both sides of the paper. Yu Yuxi finished it with a wave of his hand.
"Good...it's really good." Feng Lanxiu stood politely opposite Yu Yuxi. When he saw that she had finished writing and her handwriting was beautiful, he praised her repeatedly.
"His Royal Highness Duan Wang is ridiculous, I have to leave." Yu Yuxi put down her pen, took two steps back, turned sideways and bowed, her manners were dignified, decent, and calm.
"Thank you for your hard work, Miss Yu." Feng Lanxiu smiled slightly.
Yu Yuxi bowed to Yu Ruiwen again, took the maid to leave, walked slowly down the rockery and left.
"Marquis Xuanping, Ling Qianjin is indeed worthy of a reputation for talent and learning, as well as good calligraphy and poetry." Feng Lanxiu stretched out his hand to take the poem from the boy's hand, looked at it again and again, with a face filled with joy, "I wonder if Marquis Xuanping can do it?"
Out of love, I give this poem to my king."
"This..." Yu Ruiwen didn't know how to respond. This was almost a proposal for marriage.
Looking at Feng Lanxiu's appearance just now, it was actually not difficult to guess that this royal marriage was not something he could agree to casually, nor could Feng Lanxiu make the decision casually.
Seeing that he was in embarrassment and did not respond, Feng Lanxiu did not force it, and handed the words back again, with a bit of excitement in his expression: "Please keep this poem, and if one day... I have to ask him for it."
This request is not the same as asking for marriage, but it is almost the same here.
Yu Ruiwen breathed a sigh of relief, at least he wasn't asked to agree now. He couldn't make the decision on this matter, and neither could King Duan himself.
The chamberlain who was following Feng Lanxiu looked at all this with a smile. He already knew what happened just now. This person was sent by the Queen to follow Feng Lanxiu during this period. Not only Feng Lanxiu was there, but also the brave king Feng Yi.
There is also one in Anchu. The two princes are not young, and they are waiting to choose a concubine at the lotus feast.
During this time, I helped the prince prepare the betrothal gift for the wedding.
It seems that His Highness Prince Duan no longer has to wait for the lotus appreciation banquet...
Several people came down from the rockery. Yu Ruiwen took Feng Lanxiu to the backyard. On the rockery, he saw the most flowers growing there, and Feng Lanxiu wanted to go and have a look.
In the attic near the water, Yu Xijiao and Yu Zhuqing were sitting on the platform at the back. There were several account books on the table. The two met here to look at the account books. They happened to see Feng Lanxiu and his party, although they were far away.
Some, the process just now was vaguely clear.
Yu Zhuqing curiously put down the account book in his hand: "Third sister, second sister just went to the rockery and met foreign guests?"
"Father is here, it's okay." Yu Xijiao could see it more clearly than Yu Zhuqing. She had seen this Prince Duan several times, and even though he was far away, she could guess it was him.
"Who is that?" Yu Zhuqing asked.
"The current eldest prince, Prince Duan." Yu Xijiao smiled slightly and looked thoughtfully at the group of people coming down from the rockery.
"Why did Prince Duan come to our house?" Yu Zhuqing was very uneasy. She didn't know about such a big thing last night until this morning, so she asked Yu Xijiao to come out to check the accounts and ask about what happened yesterday.
things.
"I don't know, maybe I'm just bored!" Yu Xijiao said nonchalantly. She narrowed her eyes and looked at the group of people opposite. Indeed, there was only King Duan, and the others should be chamberlains, guards and the like.
.
"No prince has ever come to our house." Yu Zhuqing became more and more uneasy, "Third sister, is it because of what happened last night?"
Yu Zhuqing had just heard Yu Xijiao's words and was still frightened. If what happened yesterday had anything to do with the third sister, I'm afraid it would be easy to talk about but not nice to hear.
"Sister, I can't." Yu Xijiao smiled and shook her head.
"Will Madam's mother-in-law come over to make trouble?" Yu Zhuqing was still worried and uneasy. How come the third sister could still read the account book as if she was nothing?
She really couldn't look into the account book, so she put down the account book in her hand and became worried.
"So what if we come to make trouble? If you want to fight or make trouble, you can go to Zhengyuan Hou Mansion." Yu Xijiao smiled. She felt different about this father than she imagined.
"Looking for Mrs. Zhengyuan Houfu?" Yu Zhuqing was stunned and suddenly smiled, "This is...really..."
She felt that she couldn't describe this feeling, and it seemed that no matter how she described it, she felt relieved. She was afraid that Qian's mother would find Yu Xijiao, but the old lady looked so kind, and when she met her, she felt so kind.
When they came to see Yu Zhuqing, they were very affectionate and affectionate, and even repeatedly told Mr. Qian to be nice to him.
But every time she came over, she always felt that the way Qian looked at her became more and more wrong, and she became more and more harsh on herself, leaving no room for her to speak.
"Sister, what happened yesterday is over. It has nothing to do with us. At most, it's my father. Grandma Xi is still in jail. My father should take her to the Qian Mansion."
Aunt Xi doesn’t fight or buy her, and she is still living peacefully in the woodshed. There must be another reason. Yu Xijiao thought about it, and the most likely possibility is that Aunt Xi is still useful, and she can’t be beaten yet.
Like Mr. Qian who can't walk on the road.
When I think of the old lady in Qian's mansion, who was my father's benefactor, some things become clear.
"Father has always been kind... Now that my wife is beaten, will Qian Mansion blame father?" Although people outside said that Yu Ruiwen was useless, Yu Zhuqing was grateful to Yu Ruiwen. If he hadn't adopted her in the first place, she would have been in her infancy at that time.
Yu Zhuqing in the middle of the family may have been chewed to the bone by her relatives at home.
Although he was suppressed by the Qian family in the Xuanping Hou Mansion, at least it was better than the situation of not being adopted.
"No matter how powerful the Qian family is, they don't dare to do anything to my father." Yu Xijiao curled her lips, looked away from a distance, picked up the account book in front of her and flipped through it again: "Sister, what are you looking at here?
There's nothing wrong with it, but it's losing money everywhere, but as far as I know, it's impossible for a store like this to lose so much money."
In her last life, Yu Lanxuan was in charge of a house. After reading the account books, she naturally understood some of the business transactions. Looking at these account books, it seemed that there were no flaws, but when she thought about it carefully, she felt that it could not be just like this. A house like the one she was looking at now
The embroidery shop is a large embroidery shop under the name of Yu Zhuqing.
The business was very good. She had also seen it in her previous life. The quality of the items inside was not the best, but occasionally there were a few outstanding items. Since there were good and outstanding items, it was impossible to lose money like this. She
I saw it when I went there and the business was very good.
When you scroll up to that point, you will still lose money.
Yu Xijiao doesn’t believe it!
"Sister, let's go to the embroidery shop in a few days to see if the business is good or bad, and why it's such a loss?" Yu Xijiao stretched out her white fingers and tapped the account book lightly.
"Maybe I cared too much about the old man before me." Yu Zhuqing sighed. She had just learned to read accounting books. She still couldn't understand many things. She only saw the losses and felt guilty. These were all left by her biological mother.
The old man is loyal to herself. If they don't abandon her as a useless master, she is not willing to abandon them.
"Sister, do you think Madam will help you make up for your losses?" Yu Xijiao smiled and pointed out the most critical point of the matter. Her watery eyes narrowed slightly, her eyes as clear as water, "Madam will not hesitate to spend money for you.
The money from the house was used to subsidize the eldest sister’s shop, but in the end it just couldn’t survive?”
Yu Zhuqing's eyes suddenly widened and she said softly...
