Volume 1, Chapter 40: The Fiancé

Hongfu Restaurant has a total of three floors. The ground floor is for ordinary people. The second floor is a private room, and the third floor is a place to entertain distinguished guests. Ma Chengteng took Yueyao to the private room on the second floor.

Xiao Er led them to the private room of the second room diligently.

The private room is very chic, and there is a desk next to the dining table. There is pen and paper on the desk. If Yaxing comes, you can also leave your own ink treasure. The restaurant left a lot of celebrity ink treasures.

Yueyao was looking carefully, and a small servant outside came over with tea. Appetizers were also delivered. The service is top notch.

Ma Chengteng talked about Yueyao's situation, Xiao Er understood it at the moment, and the recommended dishes were all vegetarian dishes. Yue Yao ordered the most famous four vegetarian dishes and one soup in Hongfu Restaurant.

Yueyao felt a little pity in her heart, because she was still guarding filial piety and couldn't eat meat. You can't eat the most distinctive dishes such as the most famous lion's head and braised pig's trotters in Hongfu Restaurant.

Ma Chengteng looked at Yueyao's fresh face and said with a smile: "When you were in Jiangnan, didn't your father take you to the restaurant to eat?" Ma Chengteng spoke casually, and seeing Yueyao's complexion, he naturally didn't think that Yueyao would be sad when he heard about his parents.

Mother Deng's heart was stagnant, uncle, this is really a pot that can't be opened. Talking about the master in vain will make the girl sad and sad again.

Yueyao shook her head: "No." When I was in Jiangnan, Mr. Wen was very strict with me. From morning till night, my schedule is full. "Although Mr. Wen ~一~本~Read~ novel YBDU did not accept her as a student, he was more strict with her than with his own students.

Looking back now, Yue Yao actually knew that Mr. Wen actually hoped that she could make a difference in this field. It's a pity that she failed her husband in her last life. Although it is famous, it is just a false name.

Ma Chengteng smiled and didn't speak. I had already seen Yueyao's painting the day before yesterday, and if I hadn't worked hard, I wouldn't have been able to draw such a good painting. So I believe these words very much.

Yue Yao looked at the exquisite white porcelain spoon and celadon bowl that were sent and smiled. This cutlery alone is worth a lot of money.

Ma Chengteng ordered to go down and asked for a table on the first floor. It was purchased for the entourage of the little guy who came with him. Xiao Er understood at the moment and immediately ordered to go down. This time, the entourage that came with me was also very blessed.

Yueyao ate a lot this day, ate two small bowls of rice, and ate a lot of dishes. For Hua Bud and Mother Deng, they are already accustomed to it. But in Ma Chengteng's eyes, he felt that Lian Jia, no, it was the Mo family who abused Yueyao. Otherwise, where can this child and a girl's family eat so much. It must be because I didn't eat anything delicious.

Yue Yao took a sweet white porcelain teacup after eating, swallowed it slowly and spit it out, and then rinsed her mouth. The action is very elegant.

Ma Chengteng looked at Yueyao's elegant appearance and couldn't help but think of his daughter. muttering in my heart that my sister can teach children, not only can I learn poetry, calligraphy and painting well, but I also have impeccable conversation etiquette. If his daughter could be half as good as Yueyao, he would be relieved.

When Xiao Er came to report the account, Yueyao heard that a total of eighty-three taels had been used. Rao was still shocked when she was mentally prepared for this. Although Yueyao's heart has changed now, she thinks that instead of being cheap when the time comes, those people might as well eat well now and spend the money well. But in the last ten years of his life, he developed a thrifty habit in the nunnery. Just one meal now, it costs so much. It's really a little distressing.

Yue Yao thought about the pomp of the Ma family and her uncle's lack of moderation in spending money, this time she was really worried. There are many masters in Lianfu, but the monthly expenses are by no means as large as those in Mafu. It seems that looking for a suitable opportunity, it is time to remind my uncle.

As soon as the group came out of the wing room, a middle-aged man walked across from them, followed by a handsome young man.

Ma Chengteng smiled: "Brother Shen, it's a coincidence that I met you here." ”

Yueyao didn't know that Brother Shen was Shen Qian at the beginning, and she didn't know that Shen Conghao was also coming. When Ma Chengteng finished introducing her and letting her see the ceremony, Yueyao was stiff all over. Thankfully, she's wearing a hood now, otherwise it would be time for people to see her different color.

Yue Yao took a deep breath, and then stepped forward and saluted. But no matter how you hide it, there is a little coldness in your voice: "I've seen Uncle Shen." Normally, she is reluctant to have too much contact with the people of the Shen family. But what will happen in the future, even if it is said, no one will believe it. The Shen family is also a century-old scholarly family. If she wants to say that the Shen family is treacherous, she should be said to be crazy.

Shen Qian wondered in his heart how Ma Chengteng would bring Yue Yao to the restaurant, but there was no show on his face. Said gently: "Niece, hurry up." From Hao, come, I have seen the sister of the Lian family. For Yue Yao's cold voice, Shen Qian didn't care even more.

Shen Conghao knew that he had a fiancée from the beginning of his sensibility. As for his fiancée coming to the restaurant, he didn't have any other ideas. It's not rude to follow the adults over for a meal, and you don't come alone. It's a pity that I can't see my looks: "Lian's sister is good." ”

Yue Yao didn't say anything, but just saluted. She didn't want to talk to Shen Conghao. If you don't greet Shen Qian's luggage, you will definitely say that there are no rules. But ignoring Shen Conghao can be understood as shyness, anyway, her face is now covered and she can't see it.

Ma Chengteng originally wanted to catch up with Shen Qian, but Yue Yao said softly: "Uncle, I want to go to the bookstore to buy two copybooks." It means that you have to talk about the old and talk about it later. Now it's the most important thing to buy a copybook.

Ma Chengteng didn't know that Yue Yao was going to the bookstore to buy a copybook. However, he loved his niece, and said after smiling at the moment: "Okay, Brother Shen, we'll talk about it next time." ”

Shen Qian looked at Yue Yao with a smile and said, "I don't know whose calligraphy my niece wants?" I have a copy of Su Jia's "Cold Food Post" here. He remembered that Yueyao should have been the willow character he had learned from his father. Why do you want to buy a copybook now?

Ma Chengteng was about to say okay. Yue Yao answered, and her voice was still as cold as at the beginning: "Thank you, Uncle Shen." However, what Yueyao wants to buy is a European font. My younger brother is learning to write, and European style is the best. "Ouyang Xunkai's calligraphy is rigorous, the pen is precipitous, and the world is unparalleled, and it is called the first regular script of the Tang Dynasty. And European sports are the cheapest for beginners. Of course, these are all excuses, and Yue Yao doesn't want to have too much to do with the people of the Shen family.

Shen Qian was a little surprised by Yue Yao's refusal. You know, the elders can't give away. Yueyao refused without thinking about it. And the voice is so cold, it seems that he is very reluctant to have more contact with him. By the way, I don't want to talk to my son yet.

If it was someone else, Shen Qian naturally wouldn't care, but this is the fiancée of the second son. In this way, is it too bad to give him face as a future father-in-law? Because of his friendship with Lian Dongbo, and the grace of saving his life, he didn't think much about it. It's just that I think that this child has lost his parents and his temperament has become cold, and he is not transparent in terms of human feelings, which is not good.

Not to mention Shen Qian, even Shen Conghao looked at Yue Yao in surprise. Others don't know, but he knows that his father is very precious to that copybook. Unexpectedly, he opened his mouth and gave the note to Yueyao, but what was surprising was that she refused.

Ma Chengteng also noticed that Yue Yao's tone was a little wrong, and said goodbye with a smile. When Yue Yao walked past Shen Qian and Shen Conghao, her pace was a little hurried.

Mother Deng was suspicious, what was wrong with the girl. She looked at the second son of the Shen family, and the more she looked at it, the more satisfied she became. It is really a match made in heaven with the girl, and the master has set a good family for the girl. But why is the girl so indifferent to the Shen family, and she is also a little panicked, so that her steps are messy. Is there anything bad about it?

Yueyao got into the carriage and took off her hat, thinking about how to get rid of this marriage. She doesn't want to be like in her previous life, the Shen family secretly withdrew from the marriage, and she took such a reputation in vain, allowing the Shen family to take advantage of it. If you want to retreat, you must retreat openly. Don't want to quit your relatives behind your back, you still have a good reputation on your face.

Yue Yao sighed slightly. The family wants to retreat, but now it can't be retreated. Not only does she have no right to speak now, but more importantly, she has the Shen family, which is also a protective umbrella for her for the time being. No matter what, the Shen family and Lian have a family relationship, and as the fiancée of the second son of the long house, the Mo family has to give two points of face. Therefore, if you want to withdraw from your relatives, you can only destroy your relatives if you have the ability to protect yourself. Otherwise, even if she quits, who knows where Mo Dao will sell her.

Mother Deng grabbed Yueyao's hand: "Girl, is there anything wrong with the Lian family?" "Miss can dream that Mo's harbors evil intentions, and maybe she also said other things, such as the marriage of the Lian family.

Don't blame Mother Deng for thinking too much. It's really Yueyao's behavior that is very suspicious. When it came to this marriage before, Yueyao was very shy. Although he has lost his parents now, he is not so indifferent to his future father-in-law and fiancé.

Yue Yao paused slightly, then said with a smile: "What does Mom think?" Nothing. It's just that I didn't know how to prepare for it. "The Shen family and the Lian family are both scholarly families, and the most important thing is reputation. Who would believe that the Shen family wants to quit their relatives!

Mother Deng originally wanted to ask, but when she saw that her girl didn't want to say more, she stopped. It should be that she thought too much. The reputation of the Shen family is unique in the capital, and there shouldn't be anything wrong with it.

Shen Qian turned to look at Shen Conghao with a puzzled look on his face: "Hao'er, what's wrong?" He didn't expect Yueyao to be repulsed. The order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, where are the opinions. And his son is all good, where will there be anything dissatisfied. also thinks that Yueyao has lost her parents and sent people under the fence, and her temperament has become a little cold. Shen Qian wanted to find a chance to talk to Brother Lian. You can't let your child be like this.

Shen Conghao shook his head: "Dad, it's nothing." I don't know if it's his delusion, he feels that his fiancée doesn't seem to like him, and even rejects him. However, Shen Conghao quickly threw this thought away, he must have thought too much about it.
