Lord Quan teases Houmen's poisonous wife

Chapter 136 Blind date on Chinese Valentine's Day (Part [-])
As the voice fell, Xu Han, who was wearing a light yellow shirt, walked in. She had a light figure, matched with the delicate color of light yellow, walking all the way from the gate of the courtyard, and the soft wind blew the skirt up and down, as if Butterflies dance among the flowers.

He Lianjin narrowed his eyes.

"Brother, grandma is looking for you!" Walking up to Xu Mao, Xu Han stopped.

Only then did Xu Mao recall, "Grandmother looking for me?"

"That's right!" Xu Han said with a smile: "Didn't you tell your grandmother that day to discuss the marriage today? Why did you run away before the time came?"

Xu Mao slapped his head and said angrily, "I forgot."

Even such a big thing as marriage can be forgotten, which shows that he didn't take it to heart at all.

Xu Han secretly rolled his eyes, "Brother, if you don't like your grandmother making arrangements for you, just let me know. Grandma is not such a pedantic person, so she may not force you."

"talk later!"

Xu Mao really didn't like being arranged for a marriage, but if that person was his grandmother, it would be a different matter. He was brought up by his grandmother since he was a child. He listened to her most and believed that his grandmother's vision would not be bad.

For Xu Mao, marriage means that when the age is reached, it is time to find a girl to marry and have children.

He was nervous when he was almost given a marriage when attending the Qionglin Banquet before, because he was afraid of being controlled by the emperor with a single marriage, otherwise at his age, he would have been married long ago.

Xu Han asked, "Then shall we go home now or...?"

"Since you're here, how can you just leave?" He Lianjin said: "It's still early, why don't you go back after eating at the house."

Xu Han didn't speak, and looked at Xu Mao with his eyes.

Xu Mao focused all his attention on the pot of Phoenix Yulan. For him, if he could stay for another quarter of an hour, he would have an extra quarter of an hour to enjoy the flowers, so he naturally refused to let it go.

"it is good."

Almost without thinking, Xu Mao responded.

Xu Han just thought about it and knew that her brother was dazzled by the expensive flowers in the greenhouse, but she didn't pick it out and kept smiling.

From the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of He Lianjin looking in her direction, she swallowed, and her little face burned uncontrollably.

It is said that gentlemen and gentlemen are good, but if it was a woman, who would be able to resist a beautiful man with an overwhelming beauty?
No matter how magnanimous and cultivated Xu Han is, she is just a young girl who has not left the court.

Will be shy, and there will be moments of spring heart.

Everyone has a love of beauty, right?
He Lianjin has a monstrous appearance, but he has never been proud of his appearance. He has a wild and unruly temperament. The first impression he gives people is that he is rebellious, and he is the kind of person who will never break up. pole.

As everyone knows, the more frivolous and flamboyant he is, in the eyes of some people, the more he becomes an incomparable unique charm, and he can't help but want to get close to him.

It's no wonder that when He Lianjin was in the palace, those little maids tried to seduce him one after another.

Although the final end was tragic, it is estimated that some people have no regrets.

It is also romantic to die as a ghost under peony flowers.

This sentence is also applicable to the little palace ladies.

However, Xu Han only stayed at the level of being amazed by He Lianjin's appearance. If she wanted to say that she was so moved by her appearance that she wished she could marry her with her body, she hadn't really thought about it.

Of course, the premise for Xu Han to appreciate He Lianjin is that she doesn't know what bastard things that demon king has done to her. If she knew, she would not have the expression and mood she has now. Desperately.

It was rare for the brother and sister to stay in the Duke's mansion for dinner, and Yun Chuwei also went to join in the fun.

Master Jiu was away, so she would occasionally stay in Xunmeiju to eat with Madam Jingyao, but most of the time she ate alone in Yangui Pavilion.

Thinking of the days with Master Jiu, I would be so sad that I couldn't swallow it, but when I thought about the baby in my stomach, I still insisted on eating bite by bite.

She can abuse herself, but she can't hurt the baby.

After the meal, He Lianjin accompanied Xu Mao to the greenhouse again, while Xu Han stayed in Yunchuwei's room.

Yun Chu teased slightly, "Sister Han is eighteen, don't you want to get married?"

Xu Han blushed, "Grandmother is making arrangements."

Yun Chu paused while pouring tea, "So, sister Han has someone she likes?"

Xu Han said: "Grandmother helped me choose a relative in Yangzhou before, and originally agreed that I would go back to Yangzhou after my brother finished the test, but unexpectedly my brother won the first prize and had to stay in the capital, and even moved here with my grandmother. Fortunately, the family and grandmother are old acquaintances, so they don't have any objections to this, and this marriage still counts."

Yun Chu watched Xu Han's expression slightly, the girl probably heard her grandmother introduce her family background, thought it was quite right, and then wanted to leave the marriage to "the order of her parents".

Thinking of this, she couldn't help sympathizing with He Lianjin.

She tried her best to please her elder brother Xu Mao in order to be one step closer to Xu Han, but she didn't know that this girl didn't understand his thoughts at all, and she even decided on marriage matters privately.

"Sister Wei, do you still remember Qin Fang who went to Tanxianglou for dinner with us last time?"

"Remember, what's the matter?" That was Xu Mao's classmate, who will take the exam together this year, and the results of the palace exam are not bad, and he passed the second-class Jinshi exam, and now he is a scholar of the Imperial Academy, a close minister of the emperor, responsible for drafting the imperial edict, Explain scriptures to the emperor.

Although Shujishi is not as good as Xu Mao's Imperial Academy editor, he is also the future cabinet assistant Miaozi, with a very good prospect.

"It's him that grandma is looking at." Xu Han said.

Yun Chu was slightly taken aback, should the world be this small?

Once He Lianjin knew about this matter, with this person's unreasonable style of playing cards, Qin Fang, a rising star, might fall before he could shine.

"So, is Sister Han's marriage confirmed?" Yun Chuwei asked tentatively.

"Not yet." Xu Han shook his head, "Grandmother said that the two families are old acquaintances, and Qin Fang and I are not strangers anymore. Let us meet alone some other day, let's talk about it then!"

Yun Chu thought to himself, should He Lianjin know about this?
Although she couldn't bear to ruin Qin Fang's future like this, He Lianjin was her comrade-in-arms after all, so she had no reason to watch his beloved woman fall into someone else's arms, right?

-

The date that Mrs. Xu arranged for Xu Han and Qin Fang to meet turned out to be this year's Qixi Festival.

Because He Lianyu went to Dongyang Hou Mansion to propose marriage in advance, the concubine selection banquet was cancelled.

Yun Chuwei and other courtiers did not enter the palace.

Since Xu Mao brought back the pot of "Phoenix Yulan" from He Lianjin's flower room a month ago, he has devoted all his attention to taking care of the flowers and plants, and even forgot about the girl arranged for him by Mrs. Xu .

For this reason, Mrs. Xu is both angry and funny. Once her grandson does something with her heart, it must be so serious that people can't help giving a thumbs up, especially when it comes to flowers and plants. Life.

If you can't hope for your granddaughter-in-law, you can only hope for your grandson-in-law.

It was only noon when Qin Fang arrived at the Xu Mansion.

Xu Mao's brother and sister have no parents, only a grandmother from another generation, and a few servant girls in the house.

Although the mansion is large, it looks a little deserted.

The old lady Xu hadn't spoken yet, so Xu Han naturally couldn't go out to meet people directly, so it was convenient for Qin to sit and chat with Xu Mao.

The two are old acquaintances and classmates, so the atmosphere is quite lively.

In fact, when Mrs. Xu invited Qin Fang to come, she didn't tell him that it was a blind date, she only said that in Xu Mao's name, she invited him to come to her house for a sit-down. Well, Qixi Festival is also a festival, isn't it?It's always fun to spend time with people you know.

Qin Fang is a straightforward person, he doesn't have so many twists and turns, so he didn't think much about it, and when he came, he sat with Xu Mao according to the rules.

Hearing that Xu Mao got a pot of Phoenix Yulan, he was very curious, followed him to the temporary flower shed, and couldn't help admiring, "Brother Xu, this is a rare treasure, where did you get it?" ?”

Xu Mao laughed twice, "A gift from a friend."

This so-called "friend" is of course Second Highness He Lianjin, but he can't make it clear that the emperor has not yet established a crown prince, and now is a sensitive period. If people know that he is close to Second Highness, it will definitely bring trouble to the other party. to bad influence.

Although Xu Mao is "anthropomorphic", he is still very thorough in considering issues.

Qin Fang exclaimed again, "Brother Xu, this good friend is really generous. It shows that we have a deep friendship with you. Otherwise, I wouldn't have given such a precious Phoenix Yulan."

Qin Fang wandered around the flower shed again, and found that Xu Mao had planted a lot of flowers. Although there were not many treasures, they were all well-cared for, especially the roses in the pot, which bloomed brilliantly and dazzingly, with an enchanting fragrance, which made people feel happy. People can't help but be fascinated.

It wasn't long before Xu Maocai built the mansion, and few people came to the mansion, so he seldom heard people praise his flowers so much, so he couldn't stop being happy right away.

Qin Fang stayed in Xu Mansion for dinner.

After lunch, when he was about to go to the back garden with Xu Mao to discuss academic issues, Mrs. Xu sent someone to invite him.

Qin Fang knew the old lady Xu before, so he didn't suspect her, and followed the lady who led the way to the Kuayuan Waterside Pavilion.

From a distance, he saw a woman sitting in the waterside pavilion, with a pair of almond eyes, black and white, a pretty face, a round and small nose, wearing a water-colored long dress, with a snow-white wrist exposed in the wide sleeves, slender and small, so People are full of imagination.

Xu Han's appearance is cute and cute, fresh and natural, so even though Yun Chuwei is two years older, he looks no different from a girl who has just reached Ji.

Qin Fang had met Xu Han when he was in Yangzhou, but at that time he was looking for Xu Mao, so every time he met her in a hurry, he never looked at her carefully.

When I saw it today, it made people feel bright.

I didn't see Mrs. Xu, but I saw Xu Han, and I stepped in with both feet. There was absolutely no reason to leave.

After thinking about it, Qin Fang decided to go over and say hello.

"Miss Xu." Standing outside the water pavilion, Qin Fang politely saluted as a peer.

Xu Han hurriedly stood up and replied, "So it's Mr. Qin, come in and sit down."

"This..." Qin Fang hesitated. After all, Xu Han is a girl who has not left the cabinet. Would it be too abrupt for him to go in and be alone with her?

"Everyone is old acquaintances, so don't be restrained." Xu Han saw his worry and said, "We used to meet my brother every time you went to Yangzhou in Yangzhou, have you forgotten? ?”

"No. Of course I couldn't forget it." He said hurriedly, a little out of choice.

"Congratulations." Xu Han said with crooked eyebrows, "Young Master Qin is now a close minister of the emperor, and my brother said that this position has a great future."

"Miss Xu has won the prize." Qin Fang smiled.

It was probably the first time he was alone with the girl, and he seemed a little nervous.

In comparison, Xu Han's family is more generous and calm.

His restraint made Xu Han a little embarrassed.

When she was in Yangzhou, she didn't think so, because she stayed in the boudoir all day and rarely went out. When she came into contact with young men occasionally, they were all classmates and friends who came to see Xu Mao.

At that time, Xu Han thought that men all over the world were like this.

However, after coming to the capital, my field of vision gradually widened, and I realized that I was sitting in a well and watching the sky before.

Xuan Guogong, His Highness the Second Highness, Lord Yun Xiaohou, His Highness the Third and so on needless to say, just talk about the few people who went to Dongyang Hou Mansion to propose marriage, they all have their own personalities, no matter praise or criticism, they are always individual .

So now when I look at Qin Fang again, I can't find the same feeling as before, I just feel that he is rigid.

But Xu Han didn't deliberately alienate him because of this.

Grandma said that when picking a husband and son-in-law, you are looking for someone who can live a lifetime. What is the use of the kind of vigor and vitality mentioned in the storybook?

According to grandmother's standard, then Qin Fang is really a person who can live a long life, he is just dull, not pedantic.

"Mr. Qin, are you thirsty? I'll pour you a glass of water." The two stood awkwardly for a while, when they were about to have nothing to talk about, Xu Han turned around, picked up the cup on the table and poured tea.

Qin Fang said, "No, don't bother Miss Xu."

When she handed it over, he hastily reached out to pick it up.

Xu Han wanted to laugh a little, this person is too nervous, right?She is not a scourge, is she that scary?
Qin Fang probably also realized his gaffe, and added a little apology in his tone, "Miss Xu, forgive me, I seldom be alone with girls like this, so... a little nervous."

It's honest.

Xu Han smiled secretly, but his face remained calm, "Young Master Qin treats me as an outsider."

"No, no." Qin Fang was so anxious that his forehead was covered with sweat, "I just..."

"It's a rare Qixi Festival, Mr. Qin, what are your plans?" Before he could finish speaking, Xu Han took over the conversation.

In fact, every girl hopes that a man will take the initiative in her heart, especially when she is alone in private, whether it is to provoke the topic or do something else, only when the man takes the initiative will the woman feel that the other party cares about her. It can highlight the charm and sense of security of men.

But obviously, Qin Fang didn't feel that way to Xu Han.

No matter what they talked about, she was the one who took the initiative, and the conversation didn't work out, mainly because Qin Fang was too nervous.

Although the feeling of a woman being in control is fresh, it will cause differences between men and women, and women will subconsciously feel that this man is useless.

Xu Han thought, maybe he was too proactive and scared the other party?

So he calmed down a little more.

However, the result of the convergence is that the atmosphere is completely silent.

The two of them were at a loss for words.

Xu Han really rarely encountered such an embarrassing situation. After enduring it again and again, he still couldn't hold back, and finally took the initiative to say, "I spent the Qixi Festival last year with my brother. Since Mr. Qin happened to be there this year, how about Let's go out to play together at night, how about it? The night market tonight must be very lively."

Qin Fang's heart was shocked, and he felt flattered, "Since Miss Xu kindly invites you, then I will be disrespectful."

Xu Han nodded, "See you tonight."

After Qin Fang left, Xu Han went to the main courtyard to meet Mrs. Xu.

"Grandmother." Holding Mrs. Xu's arm affectionately, Xu Han said, "I saw Mr. Qin."

The old lady Xu had a smile in her eyes, "How about it, isn't that kid not bad?"

"Alright... let's do it!" According to grandmother's standards, someone who is as polite as Qin Fang and dare not say a few words when seeing a girl is an "honest person" and even more "a person who can live a life".

Although Xu Han subconsciously wanted to find a husband and son-in-law who could take the initiative in all aspects, but after thinking about it, he still listened to his grandmother's arrangement. After all, the grandmother came from here, so she can't cheat herself, can she?

If you ruin your life for a momentary impulse, you will have no chance to regret it in the future.

Mrs. Xu patted the back of her hand, "Since I think it's good, let's take this opportunity to make good use of it during the Double Seventh Festival tonight. If you see the right way, follow me and let their family come to make an engagement."

Xu Han nodded, no objection, what the grandmother said was what she said.

-

On a night full of summer flavor, the stars all over the sky shed broken light and danced on the lake without any rules.

Xu Mao rented a painting boat, and after Xu Han and Qin Fang went up, he excused himself to leave for a while because he had a stomachache.

Only Qin Fang and Xu Han were left on the boat.

He had expected that there would be an embarrassing time, so Xu Han prepared pens, inks and paints, and planned to ask Qin Fang to help him paint.

Qin Fang is dull, she can't just do nothing, after all, she will live her whole life in the future, so if she doesn't deal with the relationship at this time, is she waiting for the wedding night to stare blankly?
The boat has swam to the middle of the lake.

Because it was the Qixi Festival, lights were lit all around the lake, which was as bright as day, but the center of the lake was too far away from the shore, so the light was a bit dim.

Xu Han set up the drawing paper, and then opened the window to get some air, when he saw a painting boat coming from the opposite side, and there was a fierce fighting sound from above.

Taking a closer look, there are more than a dozen black shadows surrounding a person, their moves are ruthless, and they often hit the door of life.

Xu Han turned pale with fright, and was about to go downstairs to order the boatman to take a detour, when he saw the besieged man fall into the lake, and there was a loud bang, and there were countless splashes.

Xu Han was stunned.

Because the one who fell into the lake seemed to be... Second Highness!
