Chapter 17: Blind Date
Zhu heard the news from the maid, and almost fainted, but he didn't expect that another news came that Wen gave half a mineral vein and dozens of shops and granges as a dowry, and even Mrs. Wen looked at Jiang Ruofu differently and liked it very much.
Zhu rolled his eyes, and finally fainted.
Xiaoyu followed Jiang Ruofu back to Qinghui Garden,
"Miss, do you want to marry this Wen Gongzi?"
Jiang Ruofu lowered his eyes,,
"Nope."
Xiao Yu was surprised,
"But this Gongzi Wen is a talent, and Mrs. Wen also likes you, if you marry him, you will definitely not suffer."
Jiang Ruofu lowered his eyes,
"It's up to me to choose whether to marry or not, it's all up to my father, if he lets me marry, I will marry, he asks me to marry someone else, and I have to marry."
"What's more, people who are willing to marry me may not be willing to bring the drag of their aunt and brother."
Xiaoyu stopped, sighed, and looked up to see that Jiang Ruofu had already walked away, and she hurriedly followed.
ββ
Prime Minister's Office.
Hu Shi was surprised,
"The Wen family."
"Which Wen family?"
Mama hurriedly replied,
"Aren't you pretending to be confused? Which other Wen family is Zuo Fengling? β
Hu Shi frowned and muttered,
"She's not going to be able to join in the fun."
"Could it be that I take a special fancy to Ruofu, so she is willing to isolate me?"
Mama Li said,
"You're at a loss."
"I heard that it was at the butterfly fluttering meeting, and the sister-in-law of the Wen family fell in love with Miss Jiang at first sight, unless she didn't marry, Mrs. Wen had no choice but to take Gongzi Wen to propose marriage."
"But when I heard that I met, I liked Miss Jiang very much and was amazed by Miss Jiang."
When Hu Shi heard this, he scorned,
"Which good-looking one she doesn't like? Ruofu is so beautiful, she must have seen that Ruofu was born well, so she made up her mind about Ruofu, and she didn't understand it, so she hired her son, and she didn't look away in vain to marry an eventful vase, but fortunately she met Ruofu. β
"This Liang Yu, who is used to knowing people by looking at his face, is like this in the boudoir, but he didn't expect to be old and old, and he still looks like this, he dared to make a decision for his son on the one side, and he still went with the marriage book, who came to the door with the marriage book for the first time?"
Mama Li said a little stupidly,
"I heard that Gongzi Wen didn't marry her, so Mrs. Wen had no choice but to go directly with the marriage certificate."
Hu Shi held the cup, his face gloomy,
"Isn't it the Zhuangzi Shop vein?"
"Mama Li, give me a list, it must be richer than Liang Yu and more valuable than Liang Yu."
"She is the wife of the richest man in Sanfu, and I am still the wife of the prime minister!"
Mama Li said weakly,
"Don't you need to discuss it with an adult?"
Hu put the cup down,
"What else is there to discuss about this? This daughter-in-law is his favorite, and I must be the master of this dowry! β
Mama Li straightened her back,
"Then wrap it up on the old slave, and you will definitely list the dowry list better than Mrs. Wen."
Hu Shi said,
"Be sure to give me a good list, and take what is not enough from my dowry!"

Chen Jing sat down facing the window, the long flower branches poked out in front of the window, and the phoenix eyes drooped slightly.
A little guy climbed the high window and jumped up and said,
"Childe!"
Chen Jing immediately stood up,
"Did you get the thing?"
The little guy picked up the sandalwood box in his hand and put it on a few cases,
"I found the best craftsmen in the city, and the craftsmen said that it was too difficult to get it, and it took several nights to make it."
"If you let Madame know, you will definitely say this yourself."
Chen Jing picked up the box,
"Got it, you remember to give the craftsman three times the wage."
He opened the box carved with the moon, the edges of the box warm and smooth.
The contents of the box shone with a light golden light, reflecting on his jade white and handsome face.
The phoenix eyes slowly smiled, and he stroked the pattern of the box.
She must have liked it.
Little Guy Road,
"The Flower Dynasty Festival in the old capital is coming soon, does Childe want to give this thing to Miss Jiang at that time?"
The corners of Chen Jing's lips raised a little imperceptible smile,
"Hmm."
ββ
Following
Zhu Shidao,
"Let her go to the Tea Pavilion, just say that I have something important to look for her."
The maid was a little unbearable,
"Madam, now that there are young talents like Gongzi Wen who come to propose marriage, Miss Seven will definitely not look down on the person you arranged for her."
Zhu's deep eyes,
"Even if she doesn't like it, she has to show me."
"You used to monitor, I want her to see one today, one tomorrow, every day, as long as you see a lot, the Wen family naturally knows that she is a person who is a Qin and Twilight Chu, and then think about Ming Yunluo's prostitute background, is the Wen family still willing to marry her back?"
The maid can only say,
"Madame is wise."
Zhu looked at her,
"Xiao Lu, you have been with me for a while, and now Yuan Liu's position is vacant, and a competent person is needed to fill this position. If you can handle this matter well, I will let you sit in the position of Yuan Liu. β
The little green is immediately the right color,
"Thank you Madame for your appreciation, Xiao Lu must serve Madame well, whatever Madame says, since Madame asked Xiao Lu to spy on Miss Seven, then Xiao Lu must take a good look at her and don't let anything go wrong."
Zhu squinted his eyes and smiled, but the smile was dark.
Xiaoyu grabbed Jiang Ruofu,
"Miss, the eldest lady must be calculating you, don't go."
Jiang Ruofu said,
"You follow me from afar, it's better to call a few more guys, I may be beaten."
Xiaoyu was puzzled,
"Huh?"
Jiang Ruofu narrowed her eyes and looked at Xiao Lu who was waiting for her at the door.
Midori was looking over here.
The streets are full of people, and the mist of warm wine and the heat of buns are intertwined in the air, forming smoky white clouds, skimming the faces of people passing by.
Little Green twittered,
"The son I saw today is young and promising, only twenty years old, and he has already participated in three imperial examinations, and he has even passed the township examination."
"And he is clean and self-conscious, and he has not had any concubines."
Jiang Ruofu just walked forward and didn't say a word.
A high-minded, silent young lady, and a somewhat noisy maid, don't look strange.
Such a combination did not attract anyone's attention.
It was Jiang Ruofu who really caught people's attention.
She and the noisy world seem to be two worlds.
In the blink of an eye, the eyebrows under her eyes were filled with indifferent light, her lips were red without dotting, she was not powdered and deceived by frost and snow, her skin was extremely cold and white, wearing a cyan fairy skirt, with the wind, the skirt gently patted her ankles like petals, and her wrists were also snow-white, reflecting the cyan color.
Extreme colors collide on her, but they are not like words, but they are also thrillingly beautiful.
Compared with most of the people on the street who have yellow complexions, mediocre appearances, and inconspicuous clothing and demeanor.
She can be seen at a glance, and the gaze of both men and women lingers on her, consciously or unconsciously.
Or amazed or envied, or admired or yearned.
She passed by the shop that sold Huasheng, and the shopkeeper who was holding a handkerchief and carefully wiping the hairpin inadvertently raised his eyes to see her, and accidentally lost his mind, and the Huasheng in his hand also fell, and the precious jade fell to the ground and shattered.
And the proprietress saw that he had dropped the most expensive Huasheng in the store, and scolded angrily,
"If you can't do anything, forget it, let you watch it here all day, I didn't expect you to wipe a hairpin and wipe it badly! I really can't live this day. β
The proprietress who was so thin that her cheekbones protruded pulled the shopkeeper's ears and walked back,
"I can't eat soft rice well, my mother knew that she wouldn't marry you if she married a beggar on the street one day, at least that beggar still has the skill of serving a bowl, and your hands are so shaky that you can't even hold the bowl!"
The sound of scolding was endless, and the proprietress threw the door shut as she spoke, avoiding the door at the busiest time in the city.
Even the half-grown man who sold flowers blushed and handed Jiang Ruofu a flower.
Xiao Lu answered for Jiang Ruofu arrogantly,
"Don't buy it!"
I didn't expect that person was going to give flowers to Jiang Ruofu at all.
When the young man who sold flowers heard this, his shoulders drooped suddenly.
Jiang Ruofu turned around, looked at the young man who sold flowers, took the flowers, and chuckled,
"Thank you."
"I wish you a peaceful flower festival."
The young man's face turned red.
Jiang Ruofu plucked the frost flower hairpin from his hair, put it on the flower plate held by the young man, and turned to leave.
Although the hairpin was only a small silver hairpin, the most worthless jewelry on her head, it was real silver, which could be spent directly, and for the young man who sold flowers, it was a silver that he could not earn in a month.
As the price of that flower, the price of this jewelry is obviously too much.
The young man who sold the flowers picked up the hairpin with a little trembling hand.
Many people looked at the hairpin in his hand.
A man looked at him,
"Do you sell this hairpin? This hairpin is at most two taels, and I bought it for five taels. β
Before the man could finish speaking, the young man who sold flowers hurriedly said,
"Not for sale!"
The man wanted to ask again, but the young man who sold flowers said hurriedly,
"I said I wouldn't sell it!"
The man walked away scolding, muttering discontentedly,
"If you don't sell it, you won't sell it, what kind of energy is a stinky flower seller!"
Jiang Ruofu went upstairs, everyone in the Xiangming Pavilion was brightly dressed, there was a whisper of coming and going, the stairs were also wide, and the deep wood grain was winding, and it was wiped out.
There are three floors in the Xiangming Pavilion, there are no private rooms, only the lobby, where guests are comfortable drinking tea and playing chess, and those who like to watch chess naturally move a chair to the side and watch quietly.
On the first floor are slightly wealthy guests, although they are not badly dressed, but they are only people who have a good life among the people and are literate and hyphenated.
The second floor is basically occupied by officials and wealthy people who are not very prominent.
Although the third floor is also a lobby, it is separated by layers of veil curtains, and there are multiple protruding terraces, a total of five seats, each floor has a table, and there are curtains inside and outside, and the bottom is not really visible, and people passing by the corridor cannot see inside.
Everyone does not sit in place to watch chess or intersect, and the furnishings and arrangements here are far more luxurious than those on the first and second floors.
It is only for the most prominent group of dignitaries in Chang'an.
Even if it is empty and does not make money, it will definitely not accept guests who are not enough.
Jiang Ruofu went up to the second floor, and Xiao Lu excitedly pointed to a man with a pale face not far away.
"Miss, that's him!"
Jiang Ruofu looked over, and the man was sitting in the middle in a dazzling green dress.
was born to be passable, but his eyes were a little fury, his face was pale, he sat in place hunched over, and when he saw Jiang Ruofu, his eyes lit up and beckoned to her.
The guests on the second floor all looked at him with disdain.
looked at the place where he beckoned, and saw Jiang Ruofu, everyone's eyes were first amazed, and then they were all regretful and regretful.
Such a stunning woman should be matched with this kind of person, it is really a big girl who wears an old woman's footcloth.
It's a pity.
Jiang Ruofu's face was flat, and Xiao Lu actively stepped forward to pull out a chair for her,
"Miss, sit down! I didn't lie to you, Liang Gongzi is really a talent! β
Xiao Lu said this, and squeezed Liang Kang's eyebrows.
Liang Kang hurriedly straightened his back and puffed up his chest.
also threw a wink at Jiang Ruofu.
Jiang Ruofu's face did not change.
The tea doctor who delivered the tea brought the tea and put it in front of Jiang Ruofu.
He also shook his head secretly.
This girl's elders are really clumsy, how can they arrange such a person to look at their twenty-eight-year-old girl.
It's really not worth it, it's not worth it.
The tea was served, Liang Kang took a sip and spit it out,
"Do you want to burn Uncle Ben to death with this tea?"
Dr. Tea was sprayed all over the face, his facial features were subconsciously wrinkled together, he raised his hand to wipe his face with a sweat towel, and apologized,
"Since you don't think it's good, I'll change the small one for you right away."
Dr. Tea was about to bring the tea down, but Liang Kang pressed the teacup again.
"No way!"
"You are so sloppy in your work, are you like this every day?"
"If that's the case, I'm going to talk to my uncle and uncle, if nothing else, this half of Chang'an is under his control, and when the time comes, I will demolish your place, can you afford it?"
Dr. Tea said cautiously,
"What do you mean?"
Liang Kang pressed the teacup and said,
"The tea fee for this pot of tea is free today!"
Dr. Tea looked embarrassed,
"But this ......"
Liang Kang glared,
"No way?"
Dr. Tea thought for a moment, thinking that more things are better than less, so he could only make amends with a bitter face,
"Yes, of course."
but in my heart,
I can't afford to order anything else, what else is it containing, this snow lotus hair tip is fifty taels and one pot, just to avoid a tea fee, I don't know how many are squirted out in such a mouthful.
Do you know how difficult it is to pick this tea and how difficult it is to transport it into the capital?
I really didn't expect that there would be such a shameless person on the second floor.
Fortunately, there is no shortage of this hair tip now, and the owner doesn't care about such a thing.
Otherwise, even if I work for a few years, I can't afford to pay for this pot of tea.
The more Dr. Tea thought about it, the more he felt that the owner was right,
You can't argue with fools.
It's better to have more than less.
Liang Kang deceived the tea fee, was proud, looked at Jiang Ruofu, and picked up the cup just now.
"Don't look at the beautiful and luxurious here, in fact, you are afraid of the soft and the hard, as long as you are a little sideways, the tea fee for one day will be free."
Liang Kang picked up the cup just now and drank it, with a clatter, without the slightest appearance of being burned.
The people around him unconsciously whispered and showed disdain.
Liang Kang was very proud, ignoring everything around him.
He put the cup down heavily, and the white porcelain and blue-bottomed cup slammed against the pear blossom wood table, making a loud and bright crisp sound.
He leaned back and pointed at Jiang Ruofu.
