Peach Blossom at the Bottom of the Fan

Chapter 161 Visitor
Su Jingchun frowned, turned his face away, but smiled, "Brother Zheng..."

Zheng Xuan staggered over, stared at Xue Wanhua for a while, then suddenly smiled, "Oh, so it's the second lady of the Xue family."

Xue Wanhua was taken aback, although she didn't show it on the face, she just smiled and saluted, but she secretly said in her heart: This Zheng Shizi only came to Jinan from the capital, and he didn't even know her for half a month.

Although the Xue family is a wealthy family in Jinan, Xue Wanhua is self-aware. The Xue family's wealth will not attract the attention of people like Zheng Xuan.

So this surprising attention is because of Su Jingchun? !

Thinking of what she heard just now, Xue Wanhua subconsciously looked at Su Jingchun and licked her lips.

As if he didn't see Xue Wanhua's uneasiness, Zheng Xuan just looked at Su Jingchun, giggled and said, "I know! No wonder I heard what Second Lady Xue said just now. It turns out that brother Su is getting a good thing. I'll just say it." , I heard that a matchmaker went to Xue's house these few days, brother Su can't sit still."

Su Jingchun frowned, turned his head to look at Xue Wanhua, seeing that she was a little embarrassed, he knew that Zheng Xuan was telling the truth.

He has been in poor health for the past few days, but no one has told him about the Xue family.

"Don't play dumb in front of me!" Zheng Xuan laughed loudly, and stretched out his hand to hold Su Jingchun, "Brother Su, we are not outsiders, we all saw with our own eyes how you protected Gu Xiao in the forest that day. Lady. You have a deep affection for her, everyone knows..."

When Zheng Xuan said this, Xue Wanhua couldn't help staring at Su Jingchun.

what is in the forestReturn everyone?What happened before?Is the matter between my younger sister and Su Jingchun really well known?If so, but...

Xue Wanhua murmured to herself, but Zheng Xuan's words became more and more exciting, and he even pulled Su Jingchun's arm, laughing and said: "It's just right, it's better to hit the sun than to choose the day, why not just take advantage of everyone's happiness today, and let me be the matchmaker , Go and ask Brother Su to marry a beautiful woman!"

"Don't dare to work for your son..." Su Jingchun refused with a smile.

Zheng Xuan didn't allow him to refuse at all, and when he pushed Su Jingchun, the person turned around and shouted, "Come on! Everyone is here, everyone has a part in such a happy event! Follow along, let's be happy."

Holding Su Jingchun's shoulders again, he said with a smile: "Brother Su, if you think I'm not enough, then I'll invite the Governor of the Mansion again. Adding a senior official from the second rank, is it enough face?!"

"How does this make..." Su Jingchun smiled, but his eyes turned cold.

But Zheng Xuan was in high spirits, so it didn't matter whether Su Jingchun was willing or not.

Turning around, he waved his arms and called everyone, Su Jingchun fell down and left the restaurant.

Xue Wanhua stared blankly, and when she regained her composure, she yelled that something was wrong.

Hurrying out of the restaurant, she went straight to Xue's mansion, but fortunately Zheng Xuan called many people, and Xue Wanhua was not as fast as Xue Wanhua.

"Is the senior official at home? Hurry up, go and invite the senior official!" Xue Wanhua hurriedly told the gatekeeper, Xue Wanhua still did not forget to tell: "If there are any guests coming, you must greet them well and don't be rude."

Going straight to the second gate, she went directly to Mrs. Xue's yard, before she could explain the matter clearly, Xue Wen had already rushed over from the front yard.

"Wanhua, what happened? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Xue Wanhua has always been steady, and there really is no time when she is so anxious that her face turns red like now.

"Daddy, someone is coming to propose to my little sister!"

Xue Wen was stunned, but the old lady Xue smiled, "They are all married, why are you still so impatient? Did you go to find Mr. Su? I don't know if he invited an official matchmaker or a private matchmaker." ? But I wrote Geng Tie..."

"Grandma, it's not a matchmaker..." Before Xue Wanhua could say it, there was already a girl outside to report.

"The old lady, the senior official, and the second lady, came to the door to report that there were quite a few guests. He couldn't recognize them all at the moment. He only knew that one was from the senior official Lin, and the others seemed to be well-known squires in Jinan— —This, it’s a greeting…”

The gold lacquer box contains more than a dozen red worship stickers, and the top one is printed with a gold lacquer mark.

Xue Wen only took one look, then raised his eyebrows strangely, "Jianchanghou?!"

His family has been doing business in Jinan for generations, but he has never had much contact with these wealthy families. How could the son of the Marquis of Jianchang, who has recently become famous in Jinan, come to visit him.

"Daddy, this is the matchmaker."

What Xue Wanhua said made Xue Wen startled.

"Matchmaker? Do you mean that the prince came here to ask for a marriage? What he asked for was - a painting?!"

"It's really confusing. Apart from Hua'er, do you have any daughters who have not left the cabinet?" The old lady Xue snorted, and said directly: "You go to the front to greet the guests first, and see what they say."

Xue Wenzong was full of suspicion, even when his mother spoke, he had no choice but to rush to the front hall to receive the guests.

After Xue Wen left, the old lady Xue turned to Xue Wanhua, "Are you sure they really came to ask for marriage, not to make trouble?!"

With a box of greeting cards, all the famous and respectable people in Jinan Prefecture have arrived. Is this kind of formation really just for courting?
"Grandma, when I met Mr. Su, it seemed that they were giving Mr. Zheng a farewell party."

Xue Wanhua also felt a little guilty when she spoke vaguely. She believed Su Jingchun's sincerity.But that Prince Zheng, no matter how you look at it, is here to join in the fun, right?
Is this really good?
"Go and ask Hua'er to come over. Also, I want to meet that Mr. Su."

The old lady Xue didn't ask any more questions. After talking about these two things, she closed her eyes and closed her eyes.

It's not good to stay anymore, Xue Wanhua went out to invite someone in person.

Seeing that she had finished talking about Su Jingchun's marriage proposal, and Hua'er hadn't spoken for a long time, she also felt a little uneasy.

"Hua'er, you and Mr. Su are in love, it's a good thing that he came to propose marriage..."

"Sister Wanhua," Gu Sixiao interrupted her, and asked in a deep voice, "You said the matchmaker is Zheng Xuan, the son of Marquis of Jianchang?!"

How absurd, the enemy she hates the most, actually acts as a matchmaker to propose marriage? !

"I'm a little girl, how can I afford such a big ostentation? Sister, I trouble you to tell daddy that I can't agree to this marriage."

Xue Wanhua was taken aback, looking at Gu Sixiao's face that could not hide his anger, she really couldn't figure out what happened.

"Hua'er, what nonsense are you talking about? You are clearly in love with Mr. Su, and you even shared the same room with him as a man and widow these days. Why do you say that you don't agree to this marriage now?! You are so nonsense, can you think At home, have you ever thought of Mr. Su?!"

Clenching her fists, Gu Sixiao bit her lip, but didn't speak.

Xue Wanhua frowned, and after a moment of silence suddenly asked: "Is it because the matchmaker is that Prince Zheng?"

With a shock in her heart, Gu Sixiao looked up, although she didn't say anything, Xue Wanhua seemed to understand.

"I don't think Young Master Su doesn't want to. I was in the restaurant before, and I heard that Mr. Zheng asked loudly about Mr. Su asking for a doctor. I don't know what grievances he has with Mr. Su, but in front of so many people... ..."

"How is Su Jingchun?"

Lowering her head, seeing Gu Sixiao holding her hand, Xue Wanhua smiled again, "Why do you care about him so much, why should you miss a good relationship because of these trivial things?"

"I..." Letting go, Gu Sixiao gritted his teeth, "I absolutely can't let Zheng Xuan be a matchmaker—he should also understand..."

"Why?" Xue Wanhua smiled wryly and shook her head, "Even if I asked, you probably wouldn't tell my sister, right? Although we are sisters, you still have an identity with your sister after all. Forget it, I won't ask. It's just grandma for a while. There, don't talk nonsense. Since you don't want Zheng Shizi to be a matchmaker, my sister will talk about it."

"Sister, how do you say it? Such words—sister..." He reached out to pull Xue Wanhua, but it was in vain.

Gu Sixiao was in a hurry and panic, and chased her out, but was stopped by Xiaodie, "Little lady, the second lady asked the little one to help you freshen up, saying that you just need to go to the old lady's place and wait."

"You—oh, why didn't you stop my sister..."

After such a delay, Xue Wanhua could no longer be seen, so Gu Sixiao stomped her feet and had no choice but to go to the old lady Xue first.

Xue Wanhua walked in a hurry, all the way she was wondering why Gu Sixiao insisted on not letting Zheng Xuan be a matchmaker.

Vaguely, she felt that Hua'er hated Hua'er, it could even be said that she hated Zheng Xuan.

But, no matter what, she didn't want Hua'er to miss this great marriage.

When I rushed to the lobby of the front yard, I just heard Zheng Xuan's laughter:

"Old man Xue, Dalang is a talented man, full of poetry and books, rich in wealth, and most affectionate. Such a good son-in-law is hard to find even with a lantern. If you don't nod, I'm afraid someone else will take it back and do it right away." son-in-law."

When Zheng Xuan started, everyone else nodded in agreement.

Although big men like them did not do the job of protecting the media, but as the saying goes, it is better to be one relative than to break ten relatives.Now that you've come along, it's only natural that you can speak positively.

It was just a young man sitting on the side, just tightly holding the fan in his hand, without saying a word.

Although it was strange, Xue Wanhua didn't pay too much attention, just smiled and cupped her hands, and said in a loud voice: "Thank you for your kindness, for being able to have all uncles visit, Xue's family is really magnificent."

After finishing the polite words, she turned her head to look at Xue Wen who had been silent all this time.Seeing that he was just staring at Su Jingchun with a strange expression, he couldn't help shaking his head secretly.

Daddy has always doted on paintings, but, Mr. Su is so talented, he should rest assured to hand over paintings to Mr. Su.

Thinking in her heart, she looked at Zheng Xuan and said with a smile: "My lord, it's rare for you to be so kind, but it's really inappropriate for you to do this matchmaking."

"Oh?" Zheng Xuan raised his eyebrows, although his face was still smiling, his eyes were a bit cold, "I don't know what's inappropriate?"

Xue Wanhua smiled, and said frankly, "Your Majesty, your age is inappropriate, and your status is also inappropriate..."

"Really? My status as a son of the world is not noble enough, is it?"

"I don't mean that as a woman," Xue Wanhua shook her head with a smile, as if she didn't see Zheng Xuan's displeasure, "The status of a prince is naturally noble, but you—"

Covering her mouth with a smile, she said lightly, "You are still unmarried! You are not married yourself, so how can you be a matchmaker?"

Turning her eyes, she didn't care what Zheng Xuan thought of her, and glanced at everyone present, she said with a smile: "If you want me to say, all the uncles present here are really more suitable than you!"
