Women Wearing Men: The Growth Path of the Bastards of the Aristocratic Family

Soon, Xu Shuhua arrived.

Seeing Xu Shuhua, Gu Yunji's eyes instantly softened, subconsciously straightened up and looked towards her, his eyes were full of love and warmth.

The last time I met Xu Shuhua was on the eve of the test. Gu Yunji still remembered that the sunset was so beautiful that day. Under the soft sunlight, Xu Shuhua raised a delicate little face towards him, encouraging him with a smile. , she was waiting for his good news at home.

If so many unexpected things hadn't happened yesterday, he should have come to Xu's mansion immediately to share the joy with her.It's a pity that even though I saw her now, it wasn't the best timing or coincidence.

Feeling the young man's fiery gaze, Xu Shuhua's heart burned, but he recalled what happened yesterday, and he couldn't help but feel depressed.So he only glanced at him indifferently, then turned his eyes away from him, and under Xu Chengyu's introduction, bowed to the visiting Qian family father and son:
"I've met Mr. Qian, I've seen Mr. Qian."

Ever since Gu Yunji entered the door, Qian Xun has been sitting quietly listening to the elders talking, acting very shy.However, when he saw Xu Shuhua at this moment, he cheered up instantly, his eyes lit up suddenly, the excitement and joy in his eyes couldn't be hidden, and he sat upright and upright.

When Xu Shuhua was talking to him, Qian Xun stood up quickly like a conditioned reflex, and then his face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye. He was so nervous that he didn't know where to put his hands and feet. He stumbled for a long time before stumbling. : "Slowly, slowly...Miss Xu doesn't need to be polite, yes, I'm Qian Xun, I've met Miss Xu."

Obviously Xu Chengyu had already introduced each other, but Qian Xun introduced himself again. Xu Shuhua felt that this person was weird, but he still replied politely: "Well, Mr. Qian is good."

As if he had realized that he had lost his composure, Qian Xun's face turned red immediately, he quickly restrained his expression, and said cautiously: "Actually... I have met Ms. Xu before, I wonder if Ms. Xu remembers it?"

Xu Shuhua's beautiful eyes were slightly surprised: "Really?"

At this moment, stared at by the girl's eyes like autumn water, Qian Xun's heart skipped a beat, swallowed nervously, and said: "When Mr. Xu was working in the official department, Miss Xu went to the yamen where the official department worked to find He, I was there at the time, and that's when we met."

Xu Shuhua blinked suspiciously, but had no memory of it at all: "Huh? Is there such a thing?"

Hearing this, Qian Xun's eyes filled with anticipation dimmed for a moment, then quickly brightened again, and added: "That day was November 11, 23 in Xihe, I was wearing a dark blue jacket, and there was a A Westerner with a beard and red hair, does Miss Xu remember?"

"October 11rd, 23th year of Xihe..." Xu Shuhua pondered for a while when he heard the overly accurate date, and then suddenly realized, "Ah, I remembered. The Westerner with red hair and beard you mentioned should be Preacher Johnson, right? I remember that there seemed to be a little boy in the room, looking about ten years old, is it you?"

"That's right! That's me!" Qian Xun nodded excitedly, "I was 11 years old, and I went to the official department to look for my father, and I happened to meet Miss Xu."

Growing up in the capital, Qian Xun was always shy. One day he suddenly saw a strange-looking Westerner. He was so frightened that he huddled in a corner and dared not speak.Xu Shuhua was a few years younger than him at the time, but she was not afraid at all. Not only could she talk freely with Westerners, but she also took the initiative to pull Qian Xun to talk to Westerners to help him overcome his fear. Qian Xun became even more frightened.

Recalling the past when he was a child, Xu Shuhua's eyebrows and eyes were tinged with tenderness, and he smiled softly: "That should be... ten years ago, right? It's been so long, it's hard for Mr. Qian to remember. At that time, I heard that the yamen where Dad worked came As a Westerner, I was curious, and I often went to the Ministry of Officials during that time."

When Xu Shuhua was a child, he was much bolder than he is now, and he was not afraid of strangers at all. After meeting the missionary Johnson for a few times, he quickly became familiar with him. Every day, he pestered him to tell stories about his travels in various countries, and he also took the initiative to learn about Western culture. It was at that time that she learned the Western language.That day, she just exchanged a few casual words with Qian Xun when she saw Qian Xun was pitifully frightened. She never thought that he would remember it for so long.

However, in fact Qian Xun not only remembered it for a long time, but also remembered it very clearly.He remembered that Xu Shuhua was only seven or eight years old at that time, wrapped in a circle of thick snow velvet, like a jade dumpling, so cute.It just happened that there was such a little person carved in pink and jade, and he was not at all timid when talking to that monster-like Westerner. He was generous, lively and natural, which impressed Qian Xun deeply.

He had no friends since he was a child, and he always stayed in his own world quietly, almost never talking to strangers.The young Xu Shuhua appeared vividly in front of his eyes like a little sun, and his whole body was as bright as a flower in spring, which became one of the few bright colors in his entire childhood. After ten years, he has never forgotten it.

Ten years later, Xu Shuhua lost his childhood vivacity, and now he looks slim and graceful, with a gentle and generous demeanor.When the two met at this time, it seemed that Qian Xun became more and more shy and introverted, and he didn't seem to have made much progress compared to before.

Thinking of this, Qian Xun felt ashamed, but also a little embarrassed: "Miss Xu had a stunning appearance when she was young, which was unforgettable at first sight. Of course I was deeply impressed. It's a pity that not long after that farewell, Xu Miss Xu followed Mr. Xu to Luxi Academy in Hangzhou Mansion, although I thought about it every day, but I didn't have the chance to meet Miss Xu again, and I felt very regretful."

Gu Yunji next to him felt his chest stagnate when he heard the words, and almost didn't come up in one breath.

He originally thought that the Qian family's coming to propose marriage this time might just be a random choice made after hearing that the Xu family had an unmarried girl of the right age, after weighing the family background, but now listening to Qian Song's meaning, this is not a random choice, It was clearly planned for a long time!

This Qian Song looked indifferent, but he didn't expect to have such a relationship with Xu Shuhua in the past. He knew her so much earlier than him. It seems that he underestimated him.

Gu Yunji licked his lips, inexplicably feeling a little itchy.

Qian Song just said that bluntly, Xu Shuhua couldn't respond, so he just smiled reservedly and didn't answer.

The person who has been thinking about it for a whole ten years is standing in front of him at this moment. Qian Song is both excited and excited, his heart is pounding in his chest, and he takes several deep breaths before trying to make his voice sound less nervous: "Listen! It is said that Ms. Xu returned to Beijing with Mr. Xu in May last year, and she should have come to visit, but I didn’t have a good reputation before, and I dare not imagine the daughter of the Xu family who is both talented and beautiful."

"So I had no choice but to immerse myself in my studies and endured it for more than half a year. Finally, I was listed on the Guipao list yesterday and obtained the honor of a tribute. I just came to the gate of your mansion, and I finally have the courage to ask Miss Xu—"

Qian Song's throat rolled, his eyes were firm as if he was about to go to the battlefield, he mustered up his courage and said loudly: "I have admired Miss Xu for a long time, I wonder if Miss Xu is willing to marry me?"
