Unexpectedly, Tang Lun's letter did not arrive, and the Ye family had invited Bo Zhong, the secretary of Dali Temple, to come to the door to ask for marriage.

Bo Zhong praised the Ye family first, and then said Ye Dechang: "...... Three years ago, he was promoted, and he was also a young talent, and his studies were excellent, and Song Daru often praised him for his skillful craftsmanship. As long as he is out next year, a two-rank jinshi will not be able to run. ”

Cui Zhenyi's face turned into a bitter gourd face, and he said: "In our family, the younger generation is all children, and the girl only has this niece, so I can't help but want to keep her for two more years." She is not yet in time, and the age difference between her and the Ye family's son is too big. ”

That's a difference of seven years.

Bo Zhong is very eloquent, otherwise he would not have been invited to be a matchmaker, he laughed and said: "How many years older do you know how to feel sorry for people, if you find a fifteen or sixteen-year-old hairy guy, who only cares about playing, where can you know how to be considerate?" ”

Cui Zhenyi said distressedly: "Having said that, the age difference is too much. ”

In the end, I can't ask if the man has a secret disease.

Bo Zhong said: "But the difference is a few years old, and it is not much." Ye Gongzi has a family background, a good reputation, and good looks, and he is infatuated with his niece. Where can I find such a man? ”

Cui Zhenyi is a square person, he is not good at eloquence, where can he say Bo Zhong? Soon defeated, I had to use Mrs. Zhang, who was far away in Qingyuan, as an excuse: "My mother loves her granddaughter, and when I get married, I have to nod my mother." Wait for me to revise a book, and then make up my mind. ”

"It's nature." Bo Zhong spread his hands and said very reasonably: "I'm waiting for Uncle Ping's good news." ”

Two days later, Tang Lun came and said: "It turned out that everyone saw that he was so old and didn't get married, so they secretly guessed that he was actually very good, and there was no problem." ”

Cui Zhenyi and Jiang both breathed a sigh of relief, and Tang Lun muttered again: "How can he be worthy of his cousin?" ”

ran to Huayuexuan again and said to Cui Keyin: "Uncle asked you what you meant, and you said you didn't like it." He is a half-old man, and he still wants the old cow to eat the grass, which is really shameless. ”

But at the age of twenty-one, how can he be a half-old man? Cui Keyin said: "He is your classmate. ”

Visiting Daxiangguo Temple together, it should be a good relationship, right?

Tang Lun said nonchalantly: "He covets my cousin, and he still doesn't allow me to talk about him?" ”

"Don't you know that evil comes from your mouth? If you talk like this, you will enter the officialdom in the future, how can it be good? Cui Keyin reprimanded him with a straight face: "Don't do this in the future." ”

Tang Lun wanted to say something, Lu Ying brought his favorite turquoise mille-feuille cake, Cui Keyin moved the plate of the turquoise mille-feuille cake in front of him, and said, "I just used ice, let's eat it." ”

After eating a plate of turquoise mille-feuille cakes, he touched his half-full stomach, and Shi Shiran left.

The person who went to Jingzhou to inquire had not yet returned, Ye Dechang brought a twelve-color gift box and asked to see Cui Zhenyi, and then ran to Xinglin Hutong every three or five times.

Tang Lun ran here every day after school, and every time he came, he would find Cui Keyin, or play chess, or talk about poetry, or talk about the government and politics, and scolded Wang Zhe for being bloody.

At this time, Cui Keyin just listened quietly, and the waiting maids avoided how far away.

The summer heat is gradually disappearing, early autumn is approaching, and it begins to cool down in the morning and evening. That night, Cui Keyin came back from Chunshan Residence and said to Mo Yu: "Autumn clothes should also be taken out and washed and dried." ”

Mo Yu waited for Cui Keyin to change his clothes, and said: "A few days ago, Uncle Cousin was here, and when Miss listened to his nonsense, the slave maid asked people to take it to the pulp washing room to wash it. ”

Cui Keyin came out of the banquet room and walked in the courtyard, feeling that the night breeze was a little cold.

As the master and maid spoke, the window lattice snapped.

Lu Ying and Mo Yu both laughed and said, "Isn't King Jin here?" ”

Last time, several big girls in Cui Keyin's house knew about it.

Sure enough, Cui Keyin walked to the door with a smile, and Zhou Heng stood under the lantern in the verandah, smiling warmly.

Cui Keyin saluted and said, "The prince hasn't been here for a few days, how can he be free today?" ”

Zhou Heng motioned for her to get up, sat on the kang, and said, "I moved back to the palace, and it was a little inconvenient to enter and exit." However, the Queen Mother allowed me to build a Buddhist hall in the house and lead the practice. ”

Cui Keyin was surprised.

Under the candlelight, her long eyelashes are like two small fans, trembling gently, and her mouth is slightly open, which is extremely seductive. Zhou Heng didn't dare to look more, don't look away.

There was silence in the room for a while.

Lu Ying made tea, Cui Keyin took it, put it on the kang table in front of Zhou Heng, and said, "I don't know what kind of tea the prince likes to drink?" I told it, next time I will come to honor the prince. ”

Zhou Heng thought for a while and said, "Big red robe." ”

It was Tie Guanyin who was green and bright, and when he heard this, he hurriedly retreated and re-brewed a cup of red robe.

Cui Keyin was surprised that he had to think about it before he could answer.

Zhou Heng seemed to understand why she was surprised, and said: "This king generally doesn't show his hobbies in front of others. ”

That said, he's quite special to her.

Cui Keyin joked with him: "Isn't the prince afraid that I will poison the tea?" ”

"I'm afraid." Zhou Heng said seriously: "However, I can't stop eating or drinking because I'm afraid of being poisoned, otherwise I'll starve to death again." ”

bitter words, but they are so serious. Cui Keyin wanted to laugh, but couldn't.

Zhou Heng didn't want to talk about it anymore, and said, "Let's talk about chess, I have an hour." ”

Cui Keyin was much more cautious in this move, the two of them fought for a long time in the middle game, regardless of victory or defeat, and still heard the second more drum, Zhou Heng had to go back, so he had to say: "Continue tomorrow night." ”

After he left, Lu Ying sighed: "I didn't expect you to be a prince, and there are times when you are uncomfortable." ”

"The higher the authority, the less freedom you have." Cui Keyin put the chess pieces into the chess bowl and said lightly: "Have you ever seen anything perfect in this world?" ”

That's just as well. Lu Ying smiled and patted her ass: "It's still Miss who can see through." ”

Cui Keyin glanced at her and said, "Let's wait to wash up." ”

The next night, Cui Keyin remembered that Zhou Heng was coming over, had dinner in Chunshanju, and returned to Huayuexuan under the pretext of eating.

Zhou Heng didn't come until one or three o'clock, and said when he entered the door: "Let's start." ”

Cui Keyin took out the chess set, and the two of them put yesterday's endgame away, Lu Ying made a big red robe, and brought up the snacks that had been prepared a long time ago.

Zhou Heng ate a snack, motioned to bring a big pillow, leaned on, and said, "You are still comfortable here." ”

He didn't treat himself as an outsider at all, which made Cui Keyin cry and laugh, and said: "I'm in this courtyard every day, but I don't have to be comfortable, otherwise how can I live?" ”

Zhou Hengshen thought so.

This game of chess ended up in a draw, but Cui Keyin felt very tired, and leaned on the big pillow and drank tea in small sips.

Zhou Heng looked at her and smiled: "I didn't expect you to really live up to your reputation." ”

"Huh?" Cui Keyin didn't understand for a while.

Zhou Heng raised his eyebrows: "Two wins in three games." ”
