You only like my face

In the next few days, the man in black would come to Xianle Pavilion from time to time, and specially arranged for Xiaoyao girl for a night, but every night he just listened to Xiaoyao girl playing the piano, or talked for a while. When deep, leave.

Therefore, Miss Xiaoyao didn't know anything except that the son's surname was Ye.But because this young man is not as frivolous as the previous benefactors, and is considerate in every way, Miss Xiaoyao's favorability for the young man in black has been steadily increasing, and she has changed from being cautious at the beginning to talking about everything later.

When there were still about ten days before the Spring Festival, one night, while listening to Xiao Yao playing the piano, while drinking, the young man in black suddenly said:

"Miss Yao, do you plan to be this year's spring lady?"

The sound of the piano stopped abruptly.

After a while, Xiao Yao forced a smile, flicked her index finger, and continued to play the piano. While playing, she said: "I don't have the beauty of my sister. Even if I go, I probably won't be able to choose, so I won't make fun of you."

"But I heard that Mr. Yu doesn't pay much attention to a woman's appearance." The man in black took a look at Xiao Yao's hands playing the piano, and said, "Ms. Xiao Yao is also very talented."

The Young Master Yu they are talking about refers to the legitimate son of the famous Yu family in Qingzhou.

Traditionally, every time Chun Niang is chosen, in addition to your own votes, everyone also depends on which one is more favored by the most respected person in the family responsible for presiding over the Spring Ceremony.

But now, the only famous family in Qingzhou that has been passed down is the Yu family. Among the Yu family are rich and powerful, there are also merchants.

But now, not to mention that Mr. Yu is the only son of the Yu family, he can be regarded as a gentleman in the eyes of everyone these years.Because over the years, at the Spring Festival, he has treated every woman with a gentle attitude, and he would never take the opportunity to blackmail them because of their background. Moreover, he does not favor beauties, and he even selected a few women a few times. Chun Niang, who is not very good-looking, but has other talents that are unique, can be regarded as fair and just, so everyone is quite convinced of him.

Therefore, for a woman who is not outstanding in appearance, Young Master Yu is the best shortcut.

"Young master is joking."

Miss Xiaoyao looked at the man in black and saw that his gaze was on her own hand. She immediately retracted her hand as if she had been stung, hid it in her sleeve, and slowly formed a fist, saying, " My piano skills are actually not very good, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch Yu Gongzi's ears."

What she said was also true.In Xianle Pavilion, her piano skills are indeed number one, but looking at the whole Qingzhou, her piano skills can only be regarded as good, not amazing.

"Your hands are beautiful." The man in black suddenly said, "Although the skin on your hands is a bit rough, your bones are truly unique. Mr. Yu...he prefers these."

Hearing this, Miss Xiaoyao couldn't help but do what the man in black said, stretched out her hand, and looked at herself.

These hands, after using the hand cream sent by the young man in black for the past few days, the calluses have softened a lot, but they are still not soft and fair, and the hands of the sisters in Xianle Pavilion are better than their own in appearance. It looks better several times.

Thinking of this, Miss Xiaoyao showed bitterness on her face.

She really wants to see Young Master Yu...

She really wanted to be Chun Niang, so she felt elated.For so many years, she has been living under the shadow of her two sisters, so now even if she is playing her favorite tune, she can't be happy anymore.

But how can she get close to Mr. Yu as a little girl?

Understanding the subtext on the girl's face, the young man in black smiled, took out a gold-edged invitation card from his arms, and put it on the table, with the word "Yu" on it.

He said: "I am very optimistic about Miss Xiaoyao. This is an invitation card from the Yu family. It is useless to me. I might as well give it to Miss Xiaoyao."

Spring Festival is also the time when peonies bloom, and it just so happens that Yu’s family has a peony garden outside the city. Every half a month before the Spring Festival, the peony flowers in the peony garden will compete to bloom, colorful and in full bloom. Yan, it can be regarded as a beautiful place.

Mr. Yu has a habit, that is, he likes to spread invitations widely when the peonies are in full bloom, inviting Qingzhou people to come and enjoy them, no matter rich or poor, they will be given randomly, but there is one thing, that is, the number of people is limited, so it is hard to find a thousand dollars.

And the intention of the man in black to give the invitation is obvious, that is to let Xiaoyao leave a good impression on Young Master Yu.

"I..." Xiao Yao stared at the invitation card on the table, and couldn't help but tremble all over.

**********

After Ye Ziqing returned to the inn, he saw Huayu leaning against his door with an unhappy face.

Seeing Ye Ziqing come back, Huayu complained: "Why have you been away for so long this time?" After finishing speaking, she leaned over and sniffed Ye Ziqing, then immediately covered her nose, took a few steps back, and said in disgust, " There is such a big smell of powder on the body."

"I'm wronged," Ye Ziqing pretended to be exaggerated, and after seeing Huayu being amused by himself, he opened the door and walked in, saying, "I'm going to Xianle Pavilion, is it not normal to have a scent on my body?"

Hua Yu was convinced that Ye Ziqing would not "betray" herself, so after Ye Ziqing's explanation, she didn't struggle too much, and then happily followed Ye Ziqing into the room, and asked excitedly: "Then Miss Yao said she was going to go outside the city. Is it the Peony Garden?"

"I didn't say it clearly, but I know she will definitely go."

Ye Ziqing said while recalling Xiaoyao's eyes when she saw the invitation card.

At that time, the sudden longing in her eyes was no less than that of a drowning man seeing the last straw, so he was very sure about the result:

That's where she's bound to go.

But he was even more curious about why Huayu asked him to persuade Miss Yao to become a Chunniang, so he asked:

"I checked Miss Xiaoyao's pulse before. She is just an ordinary person. Why do you say that she is closely related to the keepsake? You also said that the keepsake will only appear if she becomes a Chunniang?"

"You will know later." Huayu didn't answer directly, but blinked mysteriously, and said, "Listen to me, you can't be wrong."

Because that's the way the story is.

**********

In Xianle Pavilion, in the next few days, Xiaoyao was very excited because she got the invitation from Yu's family.

She even conceived countless scenes of meeting Mr. Yu in her mind, and the result of this imagination was that she was absent-minded all the time. She even pressed several wrong notes when playing the piano while accompaniment to the two sisters. The whole music was completely confused into a noise, which caused the dance practice to stop.

On the stage, the eldest sister flicked her sleeves and said dissatisfiedly, "What are you doing?"

It was Xiaoyao's first time to make so many mistakes.

Startled by the elder sister's scolding, Xiao Yao, who had been distracted for a long time, finally came back to her senses. After realizing what happened, she immediately lowered her head to avoid the elder sister's probing gaze, with a panicked face, and murmured in a low voice:

"sorry."

"Forget it, maybe Xiao Yao is not in good shape for a few days."

Hong Gu hurried in to smooth things over, and while stopping the elder sister who was about to step down to find fault, she said, "Xiao Yao, I grant you a day off, and the rest of you can also rest."

Hearing what Honggu said, Xiaoyao was happy in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. After nodding, she ignored the angry elder sister and quickly picked up her piano and walked to the backyard of Xianle Pavilion. The speed was so fast that the elder sister He and the second sister couldn't help but look sideways.

After the people left, the eldest sister calmed down, and suddenly sneered: "I'm afraid there is something shameful about this little hoof."

The second sister, who hadn't spoken much, wiped the sweat off her forehead with a handkerchief, and replied nonchalantly, "What can she have? It's just an ugly girl."

"But this ugly girl is still pretentious and wants to be a chunniang," the elder sister received with a strange ambiguity.

After finishing speaking, she suddenly thought about it, and her eyes lit up: "Oh, why don't we take advantage of her absence to see what kind of medicine this girl sells in the gourd?"

"Okay."

The two of them did what they said, and after Xiaoyao went out, the two of them pried open the door of Xiaoyao's room, rummaged through the cabinets, and found the invitation card from Yu's family without any accident. Le Ge was blown up.

Of course Xiao Yao didn't know this.

An hour later, she came back after shopping. As soon as Xiao Yao, who was originally happy, stepped into the door of Xianle Pavilion, she found that the surrounding atmosphere was not right:

The passing sisters looked at her with hostility one by one, the air was inexplicably filled with the smell of gunpowder, and the backyard was noisy, mixed with Honggu's sharp scolding, it was very lively for a while.

At that time, she had a bad premonition in her heart, but when she went to the backyard and saw Honggu holding an invitation card with a gold border in her hand, her heart felt as if she had fallen into an abyss, and her mind went blank.

"Yo, are you back?"

Surrounded by the crowd, the eldest sister who was chatting with the group of "Li" was the first to notice the dumbfounded Xiao Yao standing in the corner, so she sneered and raised her chin proudly at her: "Don't tell me how you stole this invitation." Is it?"

The yard fell silent all of a sudden, and the sisters turned their attention to Xiaoyao again.

Xiao Yao's lips trembled, and it took a long time before she retorted tremblingly, "It wasn't stolen."

"Who would believe it," said the eldest sister, "this invitation is hard to find, you don't even have a patron, how could you have an invitation?" Without waiting for Xiao Yao to continue speaking, the eldest sister Shi Shiran continued, " Anyway, you stole it, how about giving it to me and Second Sister?"

"But……"

"Hey, what else do you want? I'm being merciful. I can send you to the government, but for the sake of Xianle Pavilion, I decided to let you go."

Xiao Yao remained silent.

"Why, can't you?" The eldest sister raised her eyebrows, "Well, you can go to the head office as my attendant that day? This is the biggest concession I can make. Others want me to take it, but I won't take it. Still Do not accept?"

Hong Gu was also encouraging: "Yes, Xiao Yao, don't be entangled."

"……it is good."

Her mind was wandering, and Xiaoyao obviously felt that she hadn't spoken, but her voice sounded like this, light and ethereal, like catkins wandering in spring.
