"The little one will go in and pass the ceremony, please wait for a while."

"By the way, this uncle," Han Guan hurriedly pulled him and asked, "I heard that a total of two people have been admitted to the state city this time, I wonder if another son can come to visit?" ”

"Oh, are you talking about that Li Gongzi?" The man at the door smiled: "He just left." ”

Hanguan's expression immediately became a little uneasy: "He came earlier than me."

"Eldest brother, you don't have to worry," Qingwan hurriedly said: "The two of them will inevitably have a front and a back, this is okay, it's okay for us to come in the morning." ”

"What this girl said," said the man at the door, said with a smile, "these gentlemen from the capital are extremely kind. Wei Gongzi can only rest assured. Then you are here to be aggrieved and wait, and the small ones will go. ”

With that, he ran in.

"Big brother, don't be nervous," seeing the beads of sweat oozing from Hanguan's forehead, Qingwan hurriedly comforted him and said, "You have come here for such a difficult exam, but it's just to meet the teacher, it's not a big deal." Just speak carefully. ”

Before he finished speaking, the person on the door had already flown out again, with a smile on his face: "Master Wei, a few masters, please come in!" ”

Hanguan didn't dare to hesitate any longer, glanced at his sister, and the familiar smile suddenly calmed his heart and walked inside steadily.

Qingwan watched her younger brother's figure enter the house before walking towards Rosewood.

Now this delivery is very familiar, and it is quickly completed according to the procedure. The shopkeeper is still as enthusiastic as ever, and he has to keep her for dinner, so Qingwan excused herself in a few words, and planned to return to the Liyi School.

"Excuse me, are you a Qing girl?" Suddenly, a little guy came from outside the door, and when he saw her, he asked.

Qingwan looked at the stranger: "What are you looking for her?" ”

"Oh? Looks like you're it? The little guy smiled: "My lord wants to invite you over for tea!" ”

"Your lord?" Qingwan became more and more vigilant.

"Yes, it's Master Lu of Deyuan Hall!" The little guy smiled and said, "The master came here on purpose, and I have been waiting for you for a long time." Please be sure to appreciate the past! ”

Only then did Qingwan understand: it turned out to be Lu Yanyi's father!

Countless thoughts immediately surged in her heart: What will happen if Master Lu chooses to see him alone in the state city? But one thing is for sure, it's not easy!

Soon, she made a decision: "Okay then, I don't know where your master is waiting for me?" ”

"Oh, it's at the Yongchun Tea House," the little guy said with a smile, "You just have to come with the little one." ”

It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, Qingwan decided to meet this future father-in-law.

Yongchun Tea House is the largest teahouse in the state city, and the people who usually come here are either rich or expensive, and it can be called the upper class place in the state city. It is located in a prosperous place, but there is a cave inside, very hidden and elegant, the endless flow of people at the door, rows of gorgeous carriages, is to show the extraordinary value here.

The little maid took her to the door, and the guy from the tea house greeted her with a smile on his face: "Master Lu is in the Spring Rain Pavilion on the third floor, please come with the little one." ”

Qingwan didn't say a word, and went up to the third floor, which was the innermost private room, the guy said hello, pushed open the door, and went down busily.

The little servant of the Lu family also automatically stood at a distance from the door, standing motionless.

Qingwan stood at the door, took a light breath, and slowly walked inside.

There was no sound inside, and there was not a single figure.

Qingwan couldn't help but smile secretly in her heart: This Master Lu is very good at playing dumb riddles.

"This is the Qing girl, right?" After a few moments, an old voice came from the compartment.

"Exactly. The one who spoke must be the master of the Lu family? Qingwan watched the gauze curtain move slightly, and then, an old man with a rich figure and strong spirit slowly walked out of it.

"Miss Qing, although we have never met, we must be very familiar with each other, right?" The old man's tone was unhurried, and his deep eyes showed the clarity of seeing all the world.

Qingjuan's impression of him was not bad, so he said: "Master Lu is a cheerful person at first glance." Naturally, I told the truth, and I had heard of it for a long time. ”

Master Lu was not angry, still with that faint smile, and pointed to the chair next to the table: "Miss Qing, please take a seat." Please come over on a hot day, there is a lack of etiquette, and please don't be surprised by the girl. ”

"Master Lu is too polite." Qingwan waited for him to sit down, and also sat down on the chair below, "You are an elder, if something is called, shouldn't we be juniors?" ”

"Although it was the first time we met, I knew that Miss Qing was not an ordinary person," Master Lu said with a smile: "Don't be so polite, just call me uncle, it's more intimate." ”

"Uncle Lu," Qingwan didn't refuse, "I don't know what happened when you called me here today?" ”

She had long been convinced that today's meeting was anything but ordinary.

"Miss Qing is also a cheerful person!" Master Lu looked at her with appreciation: "In my life, I can also see many dignitaries and nobles, but it is rare to see someone like Miss Qing with a leisurely demeanor and calm demeanor!" The girl's future is limitless. ”

"Uncle has won the prize." Qingwan didn't let her guard down for a moment, she knew that the theme hadn't started yet.

"Miss Qing, you must have known a lot of things about my family from my child, right?"

"No, I've just heard a few words." Qingwan refused to say more.

Master Lu had a knowing expression: "Even if you know, it doesn't matter." But I think that Xiao Er Yanyi must have a lot of prejudices against me, so in the eyes of Miss Qing, she probably thought I was that kind of annoying old waste, right? ”

As soon as he said this, Qingwan couldn't help but smile slightly: "Uncle likes to joke, and Mr. Lu has always respected you." ”

"I know that Miss Qing is not good at talking about my family's affairs, which is also natural." Master Lu said, "I know what Yanyi thinks of me. But when I met Miss Qing today, what I wanted to explain to her face was that many things can't just be listened to, and the truth is by no means just as Yanyi said. I know that my words don't have much weight in Miss Qing's mind, but I still have to explain it, so as not to have a lot of misunderstandings about Miss Qing about me. ”

"Uncle Lu, you are serious," Qingwan said lightly.

"A lot of things that I can't say to anyone. Although Miss Keqing is only meeting for the first time, I naturally understand the weight of you in Yanyi's mind. So there are some things that can only be said to you. Since I was a child, this child has had a knot in my heart, and the matter of the Bai family a few days ago, hey," Master Lu said this, and sighed deeply, as if he was helpless, "I only have one sister, and when I heard the news at first glance, I naturally couldn't accept it." Actually, I'm not the one who can't tell right from wrong, but I was too emotional at the time, and maybe I didn't do things properly, and I ended up in Yanyi."

He stopped talking and looked at Qingwan, as if he hoped to hear something from her.

Qingwan didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the Lu family at all, so she just said: "I don't know much about the affairs of your mansion, so I don't know what to say." Uncle and Lu Gongzi are both understanding people, so they naturally know what to do. ”

"Miss Qing," Master Lu looked at her, "do you have to be like this?" ”

"It's just that I really don't understand, Uncle Lu shouldn't think too much."

Qingwan's tone was slightly cold, Master Lu looked at her for a moment, and then turned his gaze dejectedly: "Forget it, it's me who is too anxious, and you won't interfere at all." ”

Qingwan didn't say anything, she knew that these were not the main topics of today, and she had been guarding against the words that followed.

"Miss Qing is a generous and cheerful person, and I don't talk much nonsense." As soon as Master Lu's tone changed, Fang Cai's old age had been swept away, replaced by unquestionable resoluteness, "I specially invited you here today, there is indeed a big thing to say." ”

It's finally this point! Qingwan cheered up and listened to what he had to say.

"I don't think I need to say anything about you and Yanyi. But I want to tell Miss Qing clearly today that your marriage to Yanyi is impossible at all! ”

Although Qingwan was mentally prepared for everything, when she heard these words at first glance, it was like a scorching thunder on her head, which made her stunned.

But soon, Qingwan came back to her senses, in fact, this incident had been expected by her. How could the dignified Lu family agree to marry a rural woman?

But what she didn't expect was that this would happen in such a way.

After calming down for a moment, Qingwan said, "Uncle Lu, what do you mean?"

"I don't mean anything else," Master Lu's tone was extremely cold: "I don't dislike your background, my Lu family used to be self-made, but you and my family Yanyi are not suitable." I will make it clear today, Yan Yi is the hope of the Lu family, and the person who will inherit the Lu family's business in the future, his marriage is related to the lifeblood of the Lu family, and it must not be done hastily. ”

The Xu family? Qingwan was still involuntarily shocked, she still didn't expect that Lu Yanyi would be engaged soon?

Master Lu didn't continue to speak, but waited for her reaction.

Qingwan tried her best to calm down her emotions: This can only show that Master Lu is wishful thinking, and the engagement for his son depends on Lu Yanyi's attitude.

"Gongzi Lu is getting engaged, this is naturally excellent," Qingwan's tone was unwavering: "This has nothing to do with me, so I won't bother Uncle Lu to tell me." ”

"I just want to solemnly tell you: No matter what your mind is, it is absolutely impossible to give up this marriage between Yanyi and the Xu family."

"My mind?" Qingwan sneered: "In Uncle Lu's eyes, do I have any ulterior motives?" If you think so, I'm afraid there is really nothing to say between us. ”

"Oh, no, no," Master Lu regretted his words and hurriedly explained.
