Since the last time my mother mentioned that she wanted Cao Shuhua to marry a wife, although Cao Shuhua temporarily declined, the Cao family also had no choice for the time being, and no conclusion was reached on this matter that day.But every day after Cao Shuhua went to see his mother, Cao would bring this matter up.

Because Cao Shuhua promised his mother to go to Cengfan every day, he couldn't avoid her.Over the past few days, I feel like my ears are getting callused.

Cao Shuhua suddenly felt very distressed when he thought that he would be arranged for a marriage one day.Thinking about how I persuaded Li Cunxu to marry a wife not long ago, I felt a little guilty.

"Go to Xiling Building. Mother said that I have to socialize with my colleagues, and I will go back later today." Cao Shuhua ordered the servant, and then opened the curtain and took Yaoju into the carriage.

"I didn't expect my son to have a family and don't want to go back." Qiong Ju said, with a hint of a smile in his tone.

"If my mother wasn't so anxious about my marriage, why would I be here?" Cao Shuhua said with a sigh.

The carriage drove slowly towards the opera building.

When they arrived at Xiling Building, the two went up to the second floor and entered the private room.This private room is not the one that Cao Shuhua often visits.Although Cao Shuhua was surprised, he sat down knowing that Qingtan would come to explain.

Cao Shuhua originally wanted to drink tea and listen to a play here.Before the tea was served, Qing Tan rushed over first, "I'm just going to find you, but there's a good show next door." Qing Tan said with a suppressed voice.

Cao Shuhua raised his eyebrows, and saw Qingtan lift a board on the wall, put the urn on the wall and listened quietly, Qingtan had already ordered someone to sing a cappella in the hall, so a couple of men and women could be heard from the next room the sound of.

"Now that the war is in chaos, as long as you and I leave the state of Jin, we can live and fly together." The woman's voice was calm, as if she had expressed a plan that had been considered long ago.

"I'm gone and I still have my family. Besides, I'm an official in the court. If you and I elope, not only will it not be the order of our parents, but also my future will be gone. Where will we go after we leave the state of Jin?" What about earning a living? Don’t tell me you live a life of weaving and washing clothes every day.” The man said, but there was some guilt in his voice.

I am willing to drop everything for you, but you don't even have the courage to start over.That being the case, then you and I will say goodbye, and don't mention the past again. "The woman saw the man's thoughts and said coldly. Although she had expected this result, she still felt cold after facing it.

"Xiwen, that's not the case. This matter has to be discussed in the long run. You and I have been childhood sweethearts since childhood." Seeing that the woman didn't seem to want to talk about it, the man hurriedly argued.

"Long-term plan? I'm going to marry the eldest son soon, how can we plan for the long-term?" The woman's voice was a little choked up as she spoke.

The two argued for a long time before leaving. During the period, the male voice was very eager, but the female voice gradually calmed down. Maybe it was cold-hearted.

Cao Shuhua put down the listening urn, and Qingtan put the board on the wall, "My lord has also done the thing of listening to the corner of the wall now."

Cao Shuhua opened the curtain and looked out the window, and found that the woman was the eldest daughter of the Han family.The man was a petty official. Cao Shuhua didn't remember the specific official position, but he looked familiar.

Han Xiwen hurriedly left the Xiying Building, always feeling that someone was watching her, and Han Xiwen felt flustered for a while.Then he comforted himself that he only told the maid who was close to him when he went out this time, so he must be overthinking.

Han Xiwen and Dong Qihua are family friends, and coincidentally, last year's Lantern Festival.Dong Qihua just picked up the handkerchief that Han Xiwen had dropped, and the two were considered to be destined.Afterwards, Han Xiwen met several times when he went to worship the Buddha, and remembered the things when he was a child, so he became acquainted.

Han Xiwen originally had feelings for Dong Qihua, but now she is engaged.It was with the greatest courage that he said the words of eloping, but Dong Qihua refused.

Han Xiwen quietly returned to the Han Mansion through the side door. Before that, all the maids in her room were sent away by her. Now when she returned to her room, the maids only thought that she had gone to the garden for a while.

"Miss, what do you think is not satisfactory about this wedding dress?" Xiao Lian, Han Xiwen's personal maid, saw Han Xiwen walk into the room, and hurriedly brought the embroidered wedding dress to Han Xiwen to see.There was a bit of earnestness on her face, as if she was the one who was going to get married.

Although it is reasonable to say that the wedding dress and the brocade quilt should be embroidered by the bride herself, but Han Xiwen is a lady of every family. Seeing Han Xiwen embroidering the wedding dress accidentally stabbed her finger, her mother naturally felt sorry for her, so she didn't let her embroider it again. , and let the maids do the rest for her.

Han Xiwen was still thinking about today's affairs, but was interrupted by Xiaolian's voice, so he focused on the wedding dress.The wedding dress is based on green, and the dark patterns on the fabric are vaguely elegant under the refraction of light.Layers upon layers of grace and luxury.Flipping through the delicate clothes, Han Xiwen unconsciously had a wry smile on his lips.I have already been engaged to His Royal Highness, and whoever has met His Royal Highness will not praise him a few words, besides, he is the heir chosen by the King of Jin, no matter what, I just need to maintain the appearance of being a respectful guest with him That's it.

After hearing Yaoju's reply, Jing Xinmo breathed a sigh of relief.I said to myself that Mr. Cao is not engaged to anyone yet, and His Royal Highness still doesn't believe it.Now that the evidence is conclusive, he can finally return to his life.

Yaoju looked at Jing Xinmo's comical expression of relief, and the idea of ​​teasing him arose in his heart.Anyway, the young master gave himself a vacation, so it would be a loss to go back now.

"Master Jing, do you want to send this drama back to His Royal Highness right now?" Yaoju asked, tilting her head.

"It's natural." Jing Xin replied with a smile. At this time, he had already asked the answer he wanted to know, so he naturally wanted to go back.

"Oh, that's such a pity. My son wants me to help him buy some rouge powder. Since Mr. Jing has something to do, let's stay here. Poor me, a weak woman, who still has to carry such a heavy basket to the east. Buy rouge powder in the market."

Jing Xinmo is now focusing all his thoughts on who Cao Shuhua bought the rouge and gouache for, and he has no intention of complaining about Yaoju, a weak woman who can lift him up.This rouge and gouache must be given to women. Could it be that although Cao Shuhua is not engaged to anyone yet, he already has someone he likes? This rouge and gouache is not for courteousness, could it be that Cao Shuhua wants to keep it for himself?

But it was not easy to ask directly, so I found a reason to continue to follow Yaoju, "Actually, I am not in a hurry. His Royal Highness is busy with official duties now and has no time to read this miscellaneous book. I will send it back later." He stretched out his hand to want Taking the basket from Yaoju's hand, "Let me carry this basket for the girl."

"Then you can remind me, walk carefully, don't fall again." Yaoju handed over the basket and reminded with a smile.

"Well, thank you girl just now." Jing Xinmo said with his ears turning red, thinking that he almost fell just now, his face was a little embarrassed.

Along the way, Jing Xinmo kept insinuating, and wanted to ask who the rouge gouache was for, but Yaoju seemed to inadvertently pull the topic away.Anxiously Jing Xinmo scratched his head in his heart, while Yaoju watched from the side with inexplicable joy.Thinking about what troubles I will encounter next time, it's a good way to spend time teasing Jing Xin.

"Our family's rouge gouache is the best in Jinyang. Girls, you might as well try this." The owner of the rouge shop saw that although Jing Xinmo and Yaoju were only dressed as servants, they were cloth.Unexpectedly, he was much better than ordinary servants. He thought it was someone from a big family who came out to buy for the master, so he became more enthusiastic and handed Yaoju a box of rouge.

Yaoju was opening the rouge to test its color and smell, and when she thought it was good, she tried it on Jing Xinmo's face. Jing Xinmo originally wanted to hide, but she didn't hide because she wanted to get Yaoju's answer, because usually when singing, rouge At this time, Yaoju put rouge on his face, and he didn't get annoyed. Let Yaoju put rouge on his face, and it almost turned into a big face.

Jing Xinmo asked who the rouge was for in a roundabout way.Yaoju pretended not to understand. Although she answered every sentence, she still couldn't answer the point.

Because Jing Xinmo felt that this question was awkward, he kept asking it in a low voice, and moved closer to let Yaoju hear clearly.Others who don't know the relationship between the two seem to be very close indeed.Seeing that the two of them are so close, the store owner thought they were a young couple, so he said, "My lord, I see that this girl likes this rouge quite a lot, why don't you buy it as a gift for the beautiful woman, so that she can win her heart."

Jing Xinmo originally wanted to dig out the desired news from Yaoju's mouth. Hearing what the shopkeeper said, he was taken aback for a moment, and then blushed and said, "I am not with this girl."

Seeing Jing Xinmo blushing, Yaoju somehow thought it was a bit cute, and quickly shook her head to get this thought out of her mind.This Jingxinmo put on rouge and powder is not manly at all, it's not cute "Wrap these up." Said Yaoju handed the selected rouge and powder to the shopkeeper, and paid the money.

Turning around and looking at Jing Xinmo being painted like a cat by himself, he couldn't help but chuckle and took out a handkerchief to help Jing Xinmo wipe off all the rouge on his face, "I'm sorry, I was just trying on the color just now." Put away the used handkerchief.

Jing Xinmo saw the dirty handkerchief and said, "Why don't I help Miss Yao wash the handkerchief before sending it over for you." After speaking, he realized something was wrong, so he stopped talking.

"I can't give you this handkerchief." Yaoju put away the handkerchief and handed a box of rouge wrapped by the store to Jing Xinmo. "I saw it just now, and this box is suitable for you, so I will give it to you. You don't usually like it." Do you also sing opera, think it will come in handy."

Jing Xinmo took the rouge handed over by Yao Ju, and pursed his lips, "Miss Yao, don't you think my singing is despicable?"

"My young master also sings opera. The young master said that each of them performs his duties. There is no reason why one profession is more noble than another." Yaoju gave him a box of rouge as compensation for teasing him for most of the day. Seeing him, he seemed to be in a low mood. It took a few minutes to explain.

"So this rouge is used by your son himself?" Jing Xinmo asked with wide eyes, ignoring any sadness at this moment.

"Of course, otherwise, why not give it to that girl?"
