Chapter 25: First Sight II
Su Baiyi slowly entered the small pavilion.
There is a round stone table in the pavilion, on which is placed a teapot, two clean teacups, and around the stone table are placed four stone benches of the same order.
Yu Mutong rolled up his wide cuffs, stretched out his soft shirt and pointed to the opposite side: "Young Master Su, please sit down!" After Su Baiyi sat on the stool, she also sat down gently.
In the air around the pavilion, there was a faint fragrance floating, and it was impossible to tell whether it was the fragrance of flowers in the garden or the fragrance of the girl carried by Yu Mutong.
Su Baiyi took two deep breaths and tried to adjust his mentality. After all, although he has lived two lives together in his previous life and this life, he is still a person who has never experienced marriage in the final analysis, and he is a little cramped in the face of Yu Mutong, his fiancΓ©e, who has already retired half of her.
Glancing around the pavilion, except for a small pond on the east side, full of lotus flowers, surrounded by lush shrubs, this small pavilion seemed very hidden.
"Young Master Su, please drink tea!"
Getting closer, Yu Mutong's voice sounded more sensitive, she gently raised her hand, picked up the teapot and divided the tea into the small teacup, the wide cuffs slid down, revealing a white wrist like jade, delicate and with a healthy luster.
The pale cyan tea was poured into the white porcelain cup, and a faint tea fragrance suddenly spread.
Su Baiyi seemed to be deliberate, picked up the teacup with his right hand, and didn't thank him, he glanced at Yu Mutong with a smile, and said, "Fuyang Chunhu?" β
I still remember the first time I went to the Yu family, Mrs. Yu was very harsh on him, not only comparing him to a pastry that was difficult to get into the elegant hall and could not be on the table, but also compared the children of the Yu family to ten taels of gold to buy one tael of Fuyangchun!
He has always been worried about this matter, and when he saw the person concerned, Yu Mutong, he blurted out in a hurry, but as soon as he spoke, he regretted it a little.
After all, he is a man, and he really can't do it if he is scheming with a little woman.
Moreover, the marriage has already been withdrawn, what is the use of saying this?
Sure enough, Yu Mutong's face was flushed, and he twisted his head to the side a little uncomfortably, but sighed lightly in his mouth, and said: "It's my Yu family who can't live with the son, if the son has any grievances, even if he comes to the little woman, don't point to Sang and scold Huai, and have a grudge against the mother!" β
"It's me who lost my word!" Su Baiyi raised the teacup in front of him: "Replace wine with tea, don't you accompany the girl!" β
"It's right for me to compensate my son!"
Yu Mutong's face gradually returned to naturalness, and he greeted Su Baiyi to each other, and then hid his sleeves and took a sip of tea.
After drinking tea, the atmosphere was a little awkward, and the two looked at each other, but they didn't know where to speak.
Su Baiyi took a deep breath, took the lead in breaking the deadlock, and asked, "I don't know if Miss Yu is here today, what do you have to say?" β
"No, no!" She had prepared a lot of words before, and even words of reproach, but now when she faced this Subu, she didn't know how to speak.
This tall and handsome man sat in front of him, except for the fact that he looked a little narrow at first glance, and he had been acting relatively indifferently since he walked up to the gazebo.
He was neither amazed or attracted by his own appearance, nor stared at it with drooling like other men, nor did he have the arrogance of those poor scholars when they faced rich ladies.
Yu Mutong had a feeling: When Su Baiyi looked at herself, it seemed that there was no difference between looking at other women or even looking at an ordinary man.
For Su Baiyi's performance, she still gave a high score in her heart, but at the same time, deep in her heart, she almost couldn't feel it, and there was a slight loss.
Am I not beautiful enough? Or did he already have a heart in the first place? Or is he resentful of me and the Yu family after what happened last time?
"I wrote a letter of apology to Miss below, Miss must have seen it!" Su Baiyi spoke again: "When this kind of thing happens, it must not be what Miss Yu wants, but marriage is a big deal, pay attention to the right family, now that my Su family is in decline, if I still marry your Yu family, it will be irresponsible to Miss and myself, so those words in the letter are my heartfelt words!" β
"Hmm......" Yu Mutong's voice was like a mosquito, and he nodded Mu Ran, and at this moment, a heartache suddenly swelled.
Thinking of those words in the letter and looking at Su Baiyi today, she seems to have lost something important.
However, fortunately, there is still room for redemption, as long as he is willing to listen to persuasion, my Yu Mutong is not a person who hates the poor and loves the rich.
"Sue, Sub ......"
After a long silence, Yu Mutong suddenly mustered up his courage, and his fair and white face was covered with a layer of pink: "You, after that incident, you, don't you, look down on me...... Our Yu family! β
Obviously, her family background is a hundred times stronger than him, and her own lintel is much higher than his Su family, but I don't know why, in front of this seemingly ordinary young man, she has an inexplicable self-shame!
"No, why do you ask?" Su Baiyi looked at Yu Mutong very seriously, and asked herself, she was indeed a little angry with the Yu family at the beginning, but looking back, those are nothing!
Resentment towards an inexplicable old woman whose menopause has passed?
Hehe, I'm really not this empty Su Baiyi!
"But, I, my mother ...... to you that day."
"Uh...... Hehe! Su Baiyi smiled slightly: "You said what happened that day, it's just that an elder said something excessive to a junior because of a misunderstanding, who is not a sage can do anything, not to mention that Ling Tang is not Confucius." β
"Besides, when I went to your mansion that day, I was originally going to discuss peace and separation with your mansion, since both parties have no opinions, the marriage matter will be stopped, so that the two families are happy, and no one looks down on anyone!"
"You don't have to think about it, actually, I really don't blame you. The fate of this world, like the journey of heaven, has its own chances, that is, I am reluctant, what benefit do I get? β
Is it?
Looking at Su Baiyi's indifferent attitude towards the marriage contract, Yu Mutong suddenly felt so disappointed, and when she mentioned the divorce, she was faintly heartbroken.
Could it be that he really didn't care at all from beginning to end?
It seems to be true, after all, it was this hateful-looking guy who first proposed to withdraw from the marriage. He, he was so depressed that he begged for food from the old women on the street, and he was unwilling to bow to the Yu family, what did he think in his heart?
"If, I mean if!" Yu Mutong took a deep breath: "If my mother didn't treat you like that when you went to the Yu family, would you ...... Will it be ......"
Su Baiyi naturally knew what she wanted to ask, her eyes looked at Yu Mutong like a calm lake, and she shook her head again: "There are some things that can't be assumed, because the past has passed, and there is no point in assuming no matter how you make it." However, if he had known that Miss Yu was such a heart-warming person, Su ......"
"How?" Yu Mutong's body shook suddenly, the beads on her hair trembled slightly, and her heart beat faster!
