The sun hangs in the sky, turning the clouds orange in a comforting glow. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Mingjin Pavilion, Xu Yu sat in front of the bookcase, took a sheep's pen, and carefully sketched the young man's face on rice paper.

Xu Pingqi stood behind Xu Nuo, looked at it for a moment, frowned slightly, stared at her back, and asked, "Sixth sister, who did you learn this painting technique from?"

"Of course, I learned it from my father. ”

Xu didn't think so, and used simple lines to draw the boy's body and the tea tree behind him.

"The way you write is the same as the picture of the remnant chrysanthemum in the secret envoy's mansion. Xu Pingqi looked at the tea tree on the painting in disbelief, and his eyes showed deep doubt.

"Erlang, don't talk nonsense!" Xu Yu was startled, and suddenly remembered that her father had warned her not to paint in front of outsiders.

I was in a hurry to draw the appearance of a teenager just now, but I forgot to hide my painting technique.

"Sixth sister, what else are you hiding from your family?" Xu Pingqi turned to the opposite side of Xu Promise, put his hands on the bookcase, stared straight into her eyes, and didn't give her a chance to dodge.

He had already discovered that the sixth sister had a secret connection with Xiao Shilang, and the sixth sister seemed to be doing some business outside, although he didn't know what it was, he vaguely felt that it was a big business.

Otherwise, Chuntang would not have taken such a thick account book in and out.

"Erlang, do you know this person, do you have a marriage?" promised not to answer, diverting the topic.

She didn't want to lie to Xu Pingqi, so she could only avoid talking about it for the time being, and if there was a suitable opportunity in the future, she would naturally tell him.

Xu Pingqi sighed, sat down cross-legged, and did not force Xu to promise, took the portrait she had drawn, and said while looking at it: "He is not an apprentice who learns tea art, he is a little servant that Ye Shishilang brought when he went to the academy, and he has never been married." ”

With that, he put the portrait down and looked at the promise's face carefully, as if trying to read what she was thinking from her expression.

The sixth sister won't really take a fancy to this person.

After all, she had never been so curious about any man.

Xu asked the person's name, age, whether he was doing things well, and the situation at home, and nodded with satisfaction after asking.

Xu Pingqi was asked so much that a layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

If the sixth sister really had such a heart, he might have to tell his mother immediately.

"Erlang, thank you so much this time, if the family affair at the main gate is completed, I will give you a big gift!"

promised a word, Xu Pingqi's whole person became nervous, his throat moved, and his expression was very entangled.

"I'll take it to Chuntang first to see if she likes it. Xu Yue happily patted Xu Pingqi on the shoulder, took the painting and ran out.

In a word, Xu Pingqi knew that he wanted to be crooked just now, and the whole person breathed a sigh of relief, and turned around to stop the promise that had already stepped out of the door with one foot: "Sixth sister, this painting is still burned." ”

"Okay!" the promise answered, and hurried to find Chuntang.

Chuntang was working as a female worker just now, and now that the sun has set, she has stopped her work, and is sorting out needlework in the house, when she hears the sound, she raises her eyes and sees the promise that smiles mysteriously.

She got up from the couch, gave a salute to Xu, and asked, "Lady, what's the matter?"

Xu promised to wave his hand, found a place to sit on the couch, took Chuntang's hand, and said: "Since that incident, I have been thinking about finding you a good family, but now I see a good person." I'd like to show you first, and if you like it, I'll go over there and ask what they mean. ”

As soon as he brushed it, Chuntang's face turned red.

"Lady, Chuntang is your person, and it is up to you to decide the family affairs. His hands trembled when he finished speaking.

Last time, she made her own opinions, was deceived by others, and made such an unbearable scene, causing both the lady and herself to be discussed. After learning the lesson of the last time, she was ready to listen to the promised arrangements with full authority over family affairs.

"Don't talk about that, you first see what he looks like, whether you like it or not. As he spoke, he promised to unfold the painting in his hand.

Chuntang saw the appearance of the young man in the painting, his eyelashes trembled, and the roots of his ears were red.

Xu Yu tilted his head sideways, looked at Chuntang's expression very carefully, and at the same time told her about the situation of the teenager: "He is the son of the Ye family, although he is said to be a little girl, but he has been studying with Shifu Lang since he was a child, and he was also by his side when Shifu Lang went to study at Yingtianfu Academy. I heard Erlang say that he has read a lot of books, and he also knows tea art, I saw him today, and his bearing was excellent, and I almost thought it was a Langjun of the Ye family. If you think it's possible, I'll ask Fifteen. ”

"It's all up to the lady. Chuntang withdrew his hand from the promise and lowered his head to stop looking at the painting.

When Xu Yu saw Chuntang's shy appearance, he thought that she was satisfied with this young man.

Then he went back to the house and burned the painting on the lamp, and trotted to Yingchengyuan for dinner.

After dinner, Xu promised to tell Lu his thoughts.

The Lu family agreed: "The Ye family has an excellent family style, not only has it cultivated such an excellent son as Fifteen Lang, but the little maids and maids are also very educated. You go and ask the meaning of Fifteen Lang first, as for Chuntang's earlier things, they are also open and explained, and there is no need to hide it. ”

"Yes, the boy knows. Promise nodded vigorously.

On the second day, Xu promised to visit Ye Mansion again with Xu Pingqi.

Dressed in men's clothes, she first helped Xu Pingqi get out of the carriage, and then followed him with her hands down.

Xu Pingqi and Ye Qingchen were originally very good friends, but before he entered the hospital, Ye Qingchen greeted him.

"Erlang, after you left yesterday, Song Erlang made a good song, did you listen to what your eldest brother said? I copied a copy and was about to send it to you!" Ye Qingchen only wore a home robe today, obviously not ready to meet guests.

"I rested early yesterday, and I didn't see my eldest brother, what's the word?" Xu Pingqi asked, looking sideways at Xu Yue.

Although they didn't see the eldest brother last night, the three of them had breakfast at their mother's place today, but they never heard the eldest brother talk about Song Qi's lyrics.

Ye Qingchen explained yesterday's situation in detail, and at the end of the recitation, he couldn't help but stroke his palms after finishing his words.

Xu Pingqi followed with admiration: "Brother Song is low-key and introverted, but such a talent was not discovered until yesterday. ”

"Yes, we were all in the same academy earlier, and we used to learn from each other, but I never knew he was so good at writing lyrics. As they spoke, they had already walked along the verandah to Ye Qingchen's tea room.

Ye Qingchen is the person of the Ye family's generation who has obtained the essence of tea art, and he is the future head of the Ye family, so he also has a big tea room here, and the objects in the tea room are all transported from Suzhou.

Entering the tea room, Ye Qingchen skillfully began to wash the tea set and prepare to order tea.

Xu Pingqi sat opposite the tea case, chatting with him while watching Ye Qingchen order tea, while Xu Yu stood straight and glanced outside from time to time.

After a few teas, the man who had promised to wait for a long time finally came in.

The little guy handed Ye Qingchen a post.

Ye Qingchen glanced at it, put it aside, and said, "I said that I am receiving important guests, and I am not free today." ”

When the little guy heard this, he withdrew and replied.
