(003) The most beautiful first sight
Yun Xiangrong is a woman raised according to everyone's beautiful standards. Although he is eighteen years old, he has only gone out a handful of times, and this is after the three brothers got married, and the sisters-in-law took them, and they officially went out a few times.
So there are not many people in Jiangnan who know Yun Xiangrong at all. This is also a kind of protection for the Yun family's daughter who has not left the pavilion.
Speaking of which, the Yun family is second to none in Jiangnan. There are many rules in the family, most of which are to protect their own people, for example, the Yun family is not allowed to comment on the young lady who has not left the cabinet, let alone talk about it to the outside world.
Once it is discovered that the master is arguing in vain, the son of the family is sent to a remote farm to work as a coolie, and the subordinates bought from outside are immediately sent to the Ya Pozi to sell.
Although Yun Xiangrong is extremely beautiful, he has no fame in Jiangnan at all.
Regarding whether or not to promote the women who have not left the cabinet, it mainly reflects the style of the head of the family, and it has nothing to do with right or wrong. The head of the Chen family, the king of the land, likes to advertise his daughter everywhere that she is beautiful and talented, and she has a lot of time at home banquets, and she will specially let her daughter play the piano.
His daughter was rumored to be the first beauty in Jiangnan, and later she got her wish and married the son of a governor. According to folklore, this is the best woman married in Jiangnan in recent years.
But a lot of things are what you think, Yun Xiangrong's eldest brother Yun Weijie, although he married the daughter of the county order back then, but now he is not the same as the governor's son-in-law, of course, the old man will not forget the help of his in-laws, although he is the governor, he is quite polite to the Yun family.
Yun Xiangrong's piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are all instructed by famous experts, and the appearance and demeanor are specially invited to educate the grandmother, and the housekeepers are also taught by the mother, and sometimes the elder brother will also talk about some outside business things to Yun Xiangrong.
Objectively speaking, Yun Xiangrong is more beautiful than the rumored first beauty show in Jiangnan, but the family doesn't like her to show up.
The reason why he cultivates so wholeheartedly is that Yun Chengyuan does not want his daughter to marry highly, but with his life experience, he feels that it is always good for men and women to learn more skills, who can know when a certain skill can play a key role, the so-called skill is not pressing.
At this time, the marriage with the Zhao family was basically agreed verbally, and the opinion of the two families was that before the dowry, it was best for the two newlyweds to know more, and if the final marriage was a grudge, everyone didn't want to see it.
So they picked a sunny afternoon, the two had lunch at home, Yun Xiangrong and Zhao Xinyan, under the leadership of their respective sisters-in-law, went to the teahouse that had been booked in advance.
The sisters-in-law knew that both of them were shy. So he set up a large private room in the teahouse, which was separated by a screen, and the words on both sides could be heard.
On the one hand, a few sisters-in-law ate snacks, drank tea, and talked about their parents' shortcomings. The other side is left for two people to be alone.
Zhao Xinyan was interviewed by his father before, and his father was very optimistic about this marriage and hoped that he could treat other girls well.
Zhao Xinyan said in terms of personality, he is not an eight-sided exquisite person, and his emotional life is also very simple, everyone is twenty years old this year, and there is not even a maid in the room.
He was a well-behaved and obedient child in the eyes of his elders, and he had studied hard for many years in the cold window, but the family decided to let him focus on the overall situation, and he did not resist, and directly gave up the book and studied the ancient inkstone.
But knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, Zhao Xinyan's father knows that his son is a very stubborn and single-minded person many times, and if it weren't for this character, it would be impossible for him to become an expert in the identification of ancient inkstones, so if he cares about something very much, it is useless for anyone to say.
Yun Xiangrong's appearance in Zhao Xinyan's memory is a little vague, it was many years ago, Yun Xiangrong's eldest brother got married, he was taken by his father, and he drank wedding wine, because he was wandering around and getting lost, he heard someone shouting Rong Rong, and he thought it was Yun Xiangrong, and he was a very beautiful little girl in his impression.
The two officially met in the teahouse, and Yun Xiangrong wore a goose yellow yarn weaving guest dress when he went out, slightly powdered, and gave a shallow salute to Zhao Xinyan.
Zhao Xinyan was stunned, he didn't think that Yun Xiangrong was so beautiful, before his father talked to him, he thought it was a kind word, but he didn't expect it to be true, he was a little confused, there was a feeling that silver fell from the sky and hit himself.
Yun Xiangrong is actually not the first time to see Zhao Xinyan, I remember that the second brother invited Zhao Xinyan to play at home last year, and he had seen it from afar, but Zhao Xinyan didn't know it.
Zhao Xinyan suddenly felt that it was rude for him to look at the girl's family like this, and hurriedly returned the salute.
Yun Xiangrong felt funny, obviously he was a junior, Zhao Xinyan's return gift, he bent his waist to about ninety degrees, and suddenly felt that this person was a little cute. At this moment, Zhao Xinyan was wearing a light blue robe, which was quite a bit of a jade tree in the wind, and Yun Xiangrong was also very satisfied with Zhao Xinyan's appearance.
The sisters-in-law were all from the past, and they knew that this marriage could be done by looking at the scene, so they hurriedly stepped aside to give the two of them space to be alone.
At this moment, Zhao Xinyan is also very satisfied with his future wife. The main thing is that I am very satisfied with my appearance, but I don't know the character yet. I also did my homework before I came, and I knew that Yun Xiangrong liked reading as much as he did.
After the two sat down, Zhao Xinyan took the initiative to talk about the best books sold on the market recently and his own impressions. It is natural to say these things that Zhao Xinyan is good at, and the embarrassment when they first met was immediately resolved.
The two were talking about speculation. Yun Xiangrong doesn't go out often, his cognition of the outside world comes from books and his brother's narration, and he is willing to make ink when he has nothing to do, and he is also very interested in inkstone.
I had some doubts about the identification and storage of the inkstone before, but Zhao Xinyan was an expert, talking about the inkstone, answering questions one by one, the two chatted very happily, and they felt very compatible with each other.
Zhao Xinyan is a simple and direct person in character, he suddenly understood why his father attached great importance to this marriage, and he could see that if his family had such an excellent daughter, he would definitely arrange a high marriage, and would not let him marry someone like himself.
It's not that I'm not good enough, but I was born in a family, and the values in my bones are the biggest words in the interests of the family.
So he asked the question simply and directly, Yun Xiangrong was very surprised, surprised by Zhao Xinyan's directness, and thought that it might be because of this that his father and brothers would agree to this marriage, after all, it is more difficult to produce a person with a simple personality in a big family than a genius.
Yun Xiangrong also told Zhao Xinyan directly, because the family had no expectations for him, he just wanted a comfortable life.
Zhao Xinyan also sighed at Yun Xiangrong's honesty, which can also see why the Yun family has become bigger and bigger in recent years, and the head of the Yun family is generous, and he doesn't value the benefits brought by his daughter's high marriage at all. The most important thing is to be comfortable.
Originally, I came to have a cup of tea, and neither of them was a talkative person at home, so I thought that I would talk for so long, and what I said was some pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and the sisters-in-law couldn't interject, and it was not easy to disturb, so it was dinner time.
The teahouse is on the main street, the location is very good, the downstairs is full of traffic, the opposite of the teahouse is a restaurant, the largest row of restaurants in the south of the Yangtze River, the business is very good, dinner time has just arrived, the box on the second floor has been full.
At this moment, Zhang Tianxiang, the second son of the newly arrived prefect in Jiangnan, was eating in the box. The air was a little stuffy, and the moment the little guy opened the window of the box, he saw a beautiful woman on the opposite side, smiling slightly in the afterglow of the setting sun.
Beauty can't be described in words, with Zhang Tianxiang, a person who thinks that he has read countless women, he thinks that this is the best in the world. It's a beauty I haven't met in 20 years.
Zhang Tianxiang knew that the woman was not smiling at him, she must be smiling at the person sitting opposite, but he couldn't see who the opposite person was from this angle.
This son is a gentleman, and he has always regarded himself as unlesty, how can he see such a beautiful girl and don't know him. And you need to know right away, or you won't be able to eat this meal.
First of all, I found the little guy in the restaurant to inquire, Yun wanted to let a lady who basically don't go out, where would he have been to the restaurant, and it would be even more impossible for the guy to know him.
In fact, this little guy is very sharp-eyed, and he can see that Yun Xiangrong is either from the Yun family or from the Zhao family, because there are two small guys from these two families in the box, but he doesn't want to tell Zhang Tianxiang because of a little tip, he thinks Zhang Tianxiang is not a good person, although he has little strength, but he doesn't want to harm other girls.
So Zhang Tianxiang did not hesitate, and came to the teahouse with the housekeeper and other domestic servants. Offer to get acquainted.
Zhang Tianxiang didn't ask anyone to consult, went directly to the second floor of the teahouse, didn't even knock on the door, and pushed the door directly, which was very unreasonable.
The moment they pushed the door open, Yun Xiangrong and Zhao Xinyan instinctively looked at Zhang Tianxiang.
Zhang Tianxiang, who boasted of being romantic, smiled slightly, and said Hello, Miss, ready to enter the door. A pair of overindulgent peach blossom eyes look at people, which makes people feel very uncomfortable.
Zhao Xinyan is the third son in the family, and he doesn't always appear in social occasions, this Zhang Tianxiang has just arrived in Jiangnan, and the two don't know each other.
Zhang Tianxiang wanted to say something more, but the Yunzhao family couldn't stand it anymore, so they immediately stepped forward to block the door and prevent Zhang Tianxiang from entering the door. Zhang Tianxiang also brought his family here, how could he let other family members push his own master. So Zhang Tianxiang was forced to leave, and the three families tore apart.
Zhao Xinyan is a scholar, and he is very unaccustomed to Zhang Tianxiang's style, no matter how sophisticated he is, he can also see that this nasty embryo at the door is what Chongyun wants to accommodate. Besides, Yun Xiangrong is his future wife, how could he allow someone to do this in front of his eyes.
So Zhao Xinyan stood up and blocked Yun Xiangrong's side.
Although the two families brought a lot of family members, due to the small size of the teahouse, it was inevitable that there would be physical conflicts. A bunch of sisters-in-law are all women, and they can't help at all, so they can only send people home to call people.
Fortunately, the people who have the ability to open such a big teahouse are also powerful people, but it is dinner time at this moment, and the guys are eating, waiting for the shopkeeper to take the guys to the second floor, and there is some time before the conflict occurs.
