Chapter 1460: Refining the Heart in the Mortal World (7)

Chapter 1463: Refining the Heart in the Mortal World (7)

Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching.

That day, Wang Chen had just finished giving morning lessons to the students when the innkeeper came to the private school excitedly.

This man announced the good news upon meeting him: "Mr. Wang, something good is coming to your door!"

Wang Chen invited the other party to sit down in the study, then asked Chen Yijian to prepare tea, and then asked: "What's the good thing?"

Look how excited this guy is.

The innkeeper didn't bother wiping his sweat, and quickly explained in detail the so-called good thing he said.

Last time, the innkeeper patted his chest and promised to find a good match for Wang Chen.

During the past period of time, he had also been inquiring about information in the county town, and used his connections to find out if there was any lady suitable for Wang Chen.

Qing'an County has a population of tens of thousands, and there are many women of the right age, but it is difficult to say who is suitable for Wang Chen.

Although Wang Chen only asked for "gentleness and kindness," the innkeeper who took over the matchmaking job took the initiative to raise the terms for him.

So I didn't meet the right one until now.

According to the innkeeper, this young lady is only twenty-nine years old and has reached the age to leave the court. She is still waiting for marriage.

Her own conditions are actually very good, she is gentle, virtuous, beautiful and pleasant, but her identity is a bit embarrassing.

This lady is the illegitimate daughter of Ye Xiangming, the Prime Minister of Qing'an County, and has been living in the latter's outer house.

Miss Ye's mother has been dead for many years. Ye Xian Cheng originally wanted to take her daughter home, but the lady firmly opposed it, so she could only leave her daughter in the care of an old servant.

The problem is that Miss Ye is getting older and cannot be an old girl, so Prime Minister Ye secretly asked someone to find a suitable son-in-law.

But it's quite difficult.

Although Ms. Ye's own conditions are good, she is well-educated, sensible and smart, but her identity is not recognized, so it is not easy for her to marry into a gentry family in the county and become a wife.

Miss Ye is unwilling to marry a collateral descendant of a concubine or become a concubine to a direct descendant.

If she wants to be a real wife, she has no choice but to look further.

Then Ye County Cheng was unwilling again.

Therefore, those who can't get up or down are left to now, otherwise they should be in the middle of a matchmaking process at the age of 28.

After the innkeeper learned about this incident, he felt that Wang Chen was a good match, so he passed on the situation here.

Then he got a response that Miss Ye was willing to meet Wang Chen and Wang Xiucai.

That is the meaning of blind date.

The innkeeper's mouth went dry as he spoke. He picked up the tea cup and took a big sip, then said: "Mr. Wang, I have inquired carefully and found that Miss Ye's character is really good and she is really suitable for you."

Wang Chen smiled and said, "Let's meet up then. Thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard, it's not hard."

The innkeeper immediately beamed: "If I can have a good relationship, that will be my blessing!"

It was his first time to work as a matchmaker, and of course he hoped to succeed.

Next, we talked about the meeting. The arrangement given by the other party was at the Mid-Autumn Festival Lantern Festival.

The Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival is a Mid-Autumn Festival activity that has been carried out in Qing'an County for hundreds of years. Every year on August 15th, both sides of the Fangxia River in the county are decorated with lanterns. Men, women and children carry lanterns and patrol the streets to celebrate the arrival of the festival.

Very lively.

The Mid-Autumn Festival Lantern Festival is also a day when many loving men and women meet, and it has a special auspicious and festive connotation.

The other party undoubtedly has high expectations for setting the date of the blind date at the Mid-Autumn Festival Lantern Festival.

Wang Chen had no objection to this, so it was settled.

"teacher…"

?????55.?????

As soon as the innkeeper left, Chen Yijian appeared next to Wang Chen and whispered: "Would you like me to help you find out about this Miss Ye?"

He had been eavesdropping outside just now, worried that his teacher had been deceived by the innkeeper.

Especially the life-long events involving Wang Chen!

Of course, there was some selfishness on Chen Yijian's part, as he was afraid that if Wang Chen found a fierce woman as his wife, life would be difficult for many of the school's disciples, including him.

"unnecessary."

Wang Chen patted Chen Yijian's head and knew his thoughts well: "You study hard and don't meddle in other people's business."

This guy cannot be given too much sunlight, otherwise it will easily become damaged.

Chen Yijian was shocked and quickly lowered his head and said, "Yes."

He heard the meaning of Wang Chen's beating, and he couldn't help but feel panic, and he no longer had any unnecessary thoughts.

I also know that my teacher looks easy to talk to, but in fact he has a firm mind and a firm stance and cannot be easily manipulated.

On the evening of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Wang Chen put on a clean and tidy scholar's turban, and combed his hair again. Then he held a book in one hand and a lantern in the other, and left home for Fangxiahe.

Fangxia River is a tributary of Qingshui River, which runs through most of the county. It can also be regarded as the mother river of this city.

There are many shops on both sides of the river, making it the most prosperous and lively area in the county. Restaurants, restaurants, and pavilions abound.

When night falls, painted lanterns are lit, and boats cruise along the river. The sound of singing and dancing reaches the shore, attracting countless people to stop and look up.

In the streets and alleys, men, women, old and young, carrying lanterns came and went, mixed with all kinds of traffickers and people, and there was endless smoke and fire in the world.

According to the agreement between the two parties, Wang Chen came to the Xinhe Bridge with a lantern.

Xinhe Bridge is a stone bridge connecting both sides of the Fangxia River. It has a long history. Many people came here tonight to enjoy the lanterns.

Wang Chen's eyes searched the crowd, and soon he locked his target.

It was a graceful girl wearing a plain dress. Although her face was covered with gauze and her true appearance could not be seen, her fair and smooth forehead and lively eyes were enough to inspire endless reverie.

The girl was accompanied by a pretty and lovely maidservant. The lanterns they held in their hands were composed of a pair of lotuses for Pisces and a pair of lotus flowers, which was the secret code agreed upon in advance.

What's interesting is that when Wang Chen's eyes fell on the other person, the girl seemed to have something in her heart and turned her head to look in his direction.

The two looked at each other across the distance, and the girl's eyes were suddenly filled with a hint of shyness.

The maid next to her noticed something strange about her young lady and looked towards Wang Chen.

She blinked, then whispered something into the girl's ear, causing the latter to give her an eye roll.

Wang Chen smiled slightly when he saw this, walked through the crowd with a lantern, and walked towards the other party calmly.

The two sides met by the Xinhe Bridge.

Wang Chen first saluted: "I, Wang Chen, have met the lady."

The girl was shy and timid, and said in return: "Young lady Ye Dai, I have met Mr. Wang."

The two looked at each other again.

Bang~ bang!

At this moment, a bunch of fireworks exploded over the Xinhe Bridge, scattering thousands of beautiful fireworks.

The mixed light and dark fire illuminated the men and women by the river, as if time had stayed at this moment forever.

This is the first meeting between Wang Chen and Ye Dai, and it is also an eternal memory for the two of them!

The second update is sent.
