Chapter 156

By the end of the meal, both Wei Yan and Cao Bingwen had drunk too much. Ye Ximing and Fei Nanxing had good drinking capacity, but they didn't look drunk on their faces.

When Zhou Ran came out, Wei Yan and Cao Bingwen had been sent back to their room. Only Ye Ximing and Fei Nanxing were still sitting at the table talking about the articles and classics they had been compiling in the past few days.

Zhou Ran handed over the hot tea in her hand and sat down next to Ye Ximing.

Ye Ximing knew Zhou Ran's intention. He held Zhou Ran's hand under the table and squeezed it carelessly while turning the topic to Fei Nanxing.

"I heard a few days ago that the old gentleman is most worried about Brother Fei's marriage. I wonder what Brother Fei is thinking now?"

Fei Nanxing lowered his eyes and looked at the tea in his hand, and said, "Master, did you ask Brother Ye to ask me?"

Ye Ximing shook his head, "It has nothing to do with the old gentleman. It's Aran who wants to be a matchmaker for Brother Fei."

Fei Nanxing raised his eyes and looked at Zhou Ran in surprise.

Zhou Ran smiled and said: "If Mr. Fei doesn't have anyone he likes, I really want to be a matchmaker for Mr. Fei."

Fei Nanxing was silent for a while before speaking out: "I wonder who my sister-in-law wants to match me with?"

Zhou Ran said: "I wonder if Mr. Fei still remembers the young lady from Magistrate Wu's family?"

When Fei Nanxing heard this, a strange color flashed in his eyes, "Miss Wu is not married yet?"

Zhou Ran seemed to have something going on, and the smile on her face deepened, "Yes, Miss Wu is currently at Wu Shaoqing's house in the capital. If Brother Fei is willing, I will help you ask the Wu family what they want."

Fei Nanxing shook his head: "I'm afraid the Wu family may not like me."

Although he now has fame, he is an orphan adopted by his master. Even though his master treats him as his own son, in the eyes of outsiders, he is still a fatherless, motherless person with no one to rely on.

Hearing this, Ye Ximing said: "Brother Fei is a bit presumptuous when he says this. Brother Fei, you are handsome and talented. However, you have already won the Jinshi and entered the Hanlin Academy at the age of more than 20 years old. You can't compare with most people in Beijing." Young Master is much better."

Zhou Ran also said: "What Mr. Fei said is that Mr. Fei doesn't have to think about these things. You only need to consider whether you are willing to marry Miss Wu."

"This..." Fei Nanxing couldn't give an answer for a while.

Seeing this, Zhou Ran didn't force him, and just said: "Brother Fei, there is no need to give us the answer now. You can think about it carefully when you go back today. If you have thought about it, just tell us."

After saying that, Zhou Ran paused for a moment and then said: "But there is one thing I want to tell Brother Fei first. The sixth young master of the Yao family also likes Miss Wu. If Brother Fei marries Miss Wu, he may offend the Queen Mother and Yao." Brother Fei needs to think carefully."

After hearing this, Fei Nanxing nodded, "Okay, I will think about it carefully."

It was getting late after seeing Fei Nanxing off. Ye Ximing washed up and went to bed. He lay on the bed and watched Zhou Ran sitting in front of the bronze mirror undoing her bun.

After Zhou Ran combed her hair, she turned around and found Ye Ximing's eyes glued to her.

She paused, walked over slowly, and was pressed down on the bed by Ye Ximing. The hot breath smelling of alcohol hit Zhou Ran's neck, bringing a burning heat.

"Madam, my husband has been waiting for you for a long time."

I don't know if it was because of drinking, but Ye Ximing's voice was hoarse and more sultry than usual.

The next day, when Zhou Ran got up, most of the morning had passed.

At home, Cao Bingwen and Fei Nanxing both went out, and only Zhou Ran and Da Niu were at home. After Zhou Ran finished her late breakfast, she entered the embroidery room.

Da Niu and A Hua are already doing embroidery work.

What the girl is embroidering is a double-sided heterochromatic embroidery. Compared with the previous embroidery she embroidered, this double-sided heterochromatic embroidery uses more colors and thinner threads. The whole work is more exquisite. You can see A lot of progress has been made.

With Da Niu's current level, Zhou Ran no longer needs to teach her. What she needs now is more practice.

After looking at Da Niu's embroidery, Zhou Ran walked behind A Hua again.

Ahua has been with Zhou Ran for nearly a year, and she has never lacked food or clothing. She has lived a nourishing life and has grown taller and fatter.

At this time, she was sitting in front of the embroidery stand, concentrating on embroidering a picture of a white fox in the snow with a straight posture.

Maybe it's because she's still young, or maybe it's personal preference. Ahua likes to embroider all kinds of small animals. When Zhou Ran doesn't ask her to embroider anything, she will most of the time choose to embroider all kinds of small animals.

Zhou Ran just talked to her about the use of light and shadow some time ago, and then asked her to embroider according to the embroidery patterns he talked about.

A-Hua thought about it again and again, but she didn't know why she actually started to embroider this white fox in the snow.

At this time, this embroidery is almost completed. The shape of the white fox in the snow is lifelike in the entire embroidery. Even the fox fur on the white fox is exquisitely embroidered. Light and shadow techniques are used skillfully to create the entire embroidery. The layering of embroidery.

Moreover, the entire embroidery uses a mixture of stitching techniques such as troweling, spreading stitches, application stitches, long and short stitches, connecting stitches, and rolling stitches. It is an embroidery that can well reflect the embroidery skills of the embroiderer.

At her current age, it is no exaggeration to say that A-Hua is extremely talented at being able to embroider such embroidery.

Zhou Ran picked out the two small mistakes Ahua made in this embroidery, told her how to correct them, and then returned to her embroidery frame.

Zhou Ran is currently embroidering a picture of a lady.

Zhou Ran has completed more than half of this painting of a lady, and can basically finish it in two or three days.

She has mastered all the things taught in the "Encyclopedia of Advanced Embroidery Techniques".

She estimated that after she finished embroidering this picture of a lady, her number of embroidery pieces would reach 200, and the system's task of becoming a senior embroiderer should be almost completed.

Zhou Ran didn't go out except for doing embroidery work.

After Ye Ximing returned home from work in the afternoon, Zhou Ran asked Ye Ximing. Gao Rongyue did not stop Ye Ximing again today.

Both of them felt that Gao Rongyue should have given up. After all, she was a proud and arrogant young lady. It was normal for her to not continue to pester her because she had been humiliated by Ye Ximing like that.

However, the two of them forgot that Gao Rongyue's brain was not normal.

In the next few days, their lives were uneventful.

Cao Bingwen now wants to stay in the capital for a long time, and it is not easy to stay with Ye Ximing and the others. In the past few days, he found a courtyard with a not so good location, rented it and moved out.

Wei Yan's matter of filling the vacancy has also begun to take shape. Once it is implemented, Wei Yan will leave the capital to take up a position somewhere.

Fei Nanxing, on the other hand, has not replied to Zhou Ran in the past few days.

Zhou Ran murmured to Ye Ximing in private: "Is it because he doesn't want to and is too embarrassed to say no, so he keeps putting it off?"
