Zhu Shangshu invited the Marquis of Kangding and Li Shiyan in, and quickly ordered tea.
Everyone is seated!
"This is Huainan tea. Lord Hou try it, do you like it?"
Kang Dinghou nodded and smiled, and took a sip of the tea at hand. The tea smelled unpleasant, but it was sweet in the mouth.
"This tea is really good tea. It is sweet in the mouth and has a long aftertaste after tasting it."
Zhu Shangshu felt that his face was hung up, and he was very satisfied, and said, "If the Marquis likes it, I will order someone to send some to the mansion later."
"The tea in Huainan has always been famous, and it is also a tribute tea."
"Yeah, I also got some from someone."
"Since that's the case, I'm embarrassed to accept it." Hou Ye said.
Zhu Shangshu said, "You don't need to be polite. You and I will become a family. There is nothing to be embarrassed about. The tea is good, and someone needs to know how to taste it."
"Haha." Hou Ye laughed so hard, "Yes, yes, we are almost a family. Since that's the case, I won't talk to you anymore."
"That's that."
The two elders said happily.
Li Shiyan listened with a polite smile on his face, but he was unhappy in his heart.
He had no intentions of Zhu Shangshu's daughter, and he had no intention of getting married. He came here today just to sell his father's face, lest he fall into trouble, and he would have a hard time when the time came. Once you've done enough, as long as you pass this level, it's not too late to think of other ways.
Zhu Yao sat opposite him and looked at the appearance of his face, and couldn't help but feel a burst of joy in his heart.
I thought to myself: The prince must like him, otherwise he wouldn't come to the mansion, and he wouldn't show his appearance like that.
Therefore, she felt a lot more at ease.
At this time, Zhu Shangshu turned his attention to her and said, "Yao'er, why don't you... take the prince to the mansion for a walk, and if you two young people have something to say, you don't have to accompany us here to talk. "
Uh!
Two people together
Zhu Yao's heart tightened, and she hurriedly looked at Li Shiyan opposite to see what he thought.
The smile on Li Shiyan's face did not fade.
Still polite.
Lord Hou also hurriedly took Zhu Shangshu's words and said, "Yes, if the two young people have something to say, let them go out for a walk together. Anyway, this important marriage event has been the word of the matchmaker for parents since ancient times. Let's come. Just do it."
Zhu Shangshu nodded: "That's right!"
Li Shiyan got up: "Okay, it's the first time I've come to Uncle Zhu's house. It's fine to walk around." He turned to look at Zhu Yao, "Miss Zhu, then you're going to bother you."
Zhu Yao also got up quickly: "The prince doesn't mind, I'll take you for a walk."
"Don't mind, don't mind."
What he wants most now is to flee here quickly, but he doesn't want to hear the polite words of the older generation, nor how they arranged his marriage, so he has to flee quickly.
So when you get this opportunity, you won't let it go.
The Hou Ye urged: "Shi Yan, you have to treat Yao'er well. If you dare to bully her, I won't spare you."
"Don't worry, Dad, of course I won't bully her, it's too late to hurt her."
"Okay, let's go."
"Yes." He walked to Zhu Yao and smiled slightly, "Miss Zhu, please."
Zhu Yao bowed to her father and Hou Ye, and went out with Li Shiyan.
When I went out, I heard a faint voice behind me: "It's really a talented man and a woman."
No!
He, Li Shiyan, is indeed handsome, and Zhu Yao is also beautiful. The two of them stand together, they are really talented and beautiful.
As soon as they came out of the hall, the two headed towards the backyard.
Zhu Yao lowered her head all the way, very shy and very nervous.
But Li Shiyan was like a wild horse running away, this would be a complete liberation, but there is a person standing beside him, naturally it is not too presumptuous, so he walked and said: "Miss Zhu, the layout of your house is really elegant, It looks like it took a lot of thought."
He was the first to speak, and Zhu Yao took his words and said, "Actually, I didn't think much about it."
"It's so well laid out without any thought?" Li Shiyan sighed, "This scholar's mansion is just different. Your father is a minister of the Ministry of Rites, and his belly is full of knowledge. This thing is also decorated very elegantly. It doesn't look like our home. , as soon as you go in, it's icy cold, and it doesn't feel like home at all."
"No, I just went there a few days ago, and the house is pretty good."
"Okay? Sure enough, she's a girl from a famous family. She makes people like her words."
like
The shyness on Zhu Yao's face became stronger.
I was both happy and even more nervous.
Seeing that she didn't speak any further, Li Shiyan glanced at her and asked, "Miss Zhu, what's wrong with you? Did I say something wrong just now?"
She quickly shook her head and said, "No, the prince is right, it's just..."
"Just what?"
She hesitated, not knowing what to say
Li Shiyan frowned and asked, "Why didn't you say anything?"
What he is most afraid of is this kind of girl, who obviously has something to say but doesn't say it, which makes people really anxious.
Zhu Yao was very happy just because of his "like" just now, but she didn't know how to say it? So in the end, it became: "It's nothing, it's just that the prince's praise makes me happy in the bottom of my heart."
"What am I doing, what I say is true, you are indeed a girl from a famous family, and I like what you say."
"Sir, why don't you call me Yao'er."
"Yao'er?"
Zhu Yao glanced at him, then hurriedly turned her eyes away, and said, "You always call me Miss Zhu, it's really a bit of a foreigner, just call me Yao'er."
Anyway, it won't be long before she will marry him!
So don't be so polite.
Seeing her shy appearance, Li Shiyan knew that the girl might have really liked him, so he couldn't say no, so he responded, "Okay, then I'll call you Yao'er in the future."
"That… "
"Um?"
This time, Zhu Yao boldly met his gaze and said, "Then let me call you Shiyan too."
Li Shiyan didn't care.
He said, "Okay, it's time to talk, it's just a name anyway."
Zhu Yao was very happy, but it was not easy to show it all on her face, her hands holding the handkerchief tightened several times.
After a small meeting, the two went to sit down in the pavilion in the backyard, and the girl in the house quickly served tea and some snacks.
Very thoughtful.
Li Shiyan didn't care about his image at all, he stepped on the stone bench beside him with one leg, grabbed the cake at hand and stuffed it into his mouth, eating it with a chirping sound, and poured the tea into his mouth like drinking water. He took a sip, and the tea leaked directly to both sides of his mouth because he was in a hurry.
This surprised Zhu Yao, who was sitting opposite.
Even Cai'er, who was standing beside her, was surprised.
