Lord Sima, the Minister of Punishment, has been in a very troubled mood recently.
My family has a daughter who has grown up, which is the pride of all fathers. The daughter is beautiful and beautiful at a young age, which is the time to look for a son-in-law. Unfortunately, no one has come to propose marriage, which makes Lord Sima very annoyed and depressed.
.
The reason for this is actually very simple. Because Sima Yanran, the apple of Lord Sima's eye, is a little bit special among the reserved and elegant ladies of the capital...
I don’t like red makeup. I like to dress up as a boy since I was a child. I also learned a lot of martial arts from a serious apprentice. Especially in archery, I can easily defeat anyone with a hundred steps. My temperament is wilder than that of men... There is such a thing
With his reputation, which son of a family would dare to marry Sima Yanran? No wonder no matchmaker comes to propose marriage.
In the blink of an eye, Sima Yanran is already sixteen years old. If she continues to waste time like this, I'm afraid her daughter will have to stay in the boudoir and never get married.
Master Sima began to actively look for Chenglong's son-in-law. Who knew that as soon as the news got out, no female relatives came to the banquet hosted by Sima's mansion.
...
Lord Sima was not defeated by this setback and decided to change his approach. Those noble women heard those rumors, so they avoided their daughters like tigers. He firmly believed that when a man sees his beautiful daughter, he will fall in love with her.
Therefore, Master Sima held a banquet again. Most of the guests invited this time were men between their teens and twenties. They were tall, short, fat, thin, handsome or ugly. The point is, they were all
Unmarried man.
Lord Sima's heart is known to almost everyone on the street.
Most of the men who received the invitation had heard of Miss Sima's reputation, and they all had headaches. If you don't go to the banquet? That would be disrespectful to Lord Sima. Go to the banquet? What if you are attacked by Lord Sima and Miss Sima?
What should I do if I fall in love?
...
Meng Zijun, as the youngest, handsomest and most promising bachelor in the Criminal Department, of course received the invitation. Compared to the others who were frowning and sighing, he was very calm and calm, and even had the leisure to joke: "I heard that Miss Sima is good at martial arts.
Archery is even better. If I have a chance this time, I can learn a lesson!"
The people listening all looked disheveled. You should marry a virtuous wife, and if you marry such a man who is good at wielding swords and guns, you can definitely expect a miserable life in the future.
The "selection of a son-in-law" meeting...well, it's a banquet at the Sima Mansion, and it's coming soon.
Meng Zijun had been busy with a case for the past two days and didn't even have time to take a bath, trim his face and change clothes. So, he went to Sima Mansion wearing his usual black military uniform. He thought he was dressed casually enough, but here he is.
When Sima Mansion took a look, Meng Zijun suddenly discovered that he was the neatest dressed one!
...
After thinking about it for a moment, Meng Zijun understood what was going on and couldn't help but laugh. Looking at this posture, Master Sima's hard work was probably in vain. Everyone was afraid of avoiding this Miss Sima!
Master Sima is so sophisticated that even Meng Zijun can figure it out, and he certainly knows it well. However, this small detail cannot stop his confidence. After they meet their daughter, they will definitely understand
Changed my mind.
There were three tables in the banquet. At first, everyone was a little restrained and nervous, but as good wine and food continued to be served, and beautiful singers sang and danced to entertain them, everyone quickly relaxed.
Meng Zijun was somewhat interested in drinking at first, but soon became bored. He held the glass of wine carelessly, and his thoughts drifted away accidentally...
In a few days, it will be Ye Qinglan's 20th birthday. She has to ask her boss for leave in advance.
In the past few years, he went to Duke Dingguo's mansion every two months. His contacts with Ye Qinglan were not too close. At last, he did not provoke the opposition of that little chicken-hearted Gu.
With the passage of time, the feeling that was once hidden deep in my heart gradually evolved into another kind of feeling. It was more intimate than a friend, closer than a brother and sister, but it was always careful to maintain the appropriate distance. Meng Zijun was very
He was proud of himself, but also a little regretful because he was no longer in the mood to fall in love with another woman.
He came to the banquet today, probably because he was too lonely and bored. But after coming, this lonely and boring emptiness not only did not alleviate, but became more profound. In this life, he has probably lived like this alone. How can there be anything in this world?
Is there another woman who can break into his heart?
Meng Zijun sighed quietly and suddenly wanted to leave. He really did so, put down his wine glass, stood up and said goodbye to Lord Sima.
Master Sima was a little surprised and a little unhappy: "The banquet is not over yet. What important matters do you have to leave now?" Are you kidding? Among so many people, the one he really likes is Meng Zijun. What if?
Now that Meng Zijun is gone, why is there any need to continue this banquet?
Meng Zijun coughed and made an excuse at random: "Master Qi, I still have an important case to handle. If there is a delay, I'm afraid Minister Zhou will blame me..."
"If he dares to blame you, let him come to me." Master Sima, the Minister of Punishment, said calmly, and his aura suddenly became full.
Meng Zijun, of course, did not dare to make any mistakes when facing his immediate boss, so he had to swallow all his words. Before he could return to his seat, the music in the venue suddenly changed. The soft music suddenly changed.
's became a generous drumbeat, refreshing people's spirits.
As the drums sounded, a slender figure in white military uniform appeared in front of everyone. She was seen holding a long sword in her hand and holding a blossoming sword flower. Her heroic appearance was heart-breaking. But it was a pity that her face was covered with a veil.
The layer of gauze makes it impossible to see clearly the face behind the gauze. Only a pair of eyes as bright as autumn water are revealed, with a little bit of brilliance.
Even if this is the case, it is enough to make many unmarried men intoxicated.
A sword dance conquered the hearts of almost all men.
Meng Zijun was also slightly moved. After traveling here, most of the women he had seen were beautiful and delicate, but the girl in front of him had a graceful figure and sharp hands, and she had a unique heroic beauty.
When the drums stopped, the girl stood with her sword in hand, ignoring the stunned eyes of the men. She said calmly: "Dad, my daughter has resigned!"
Master Sima coughed and said, "Wait a minute." Then he proudly introduced to everyone: "This is my little girl. She has loved practicing martial arts since she was a child. She created this sword dance herself."
All the men were amazed. Being able to turn a sword into a dance is no simple matter. This Miss Sima, unlike the rough and rough woman rumored to be, is clearly a unique and beautiful girl! It's so hateful, she didn't even wear anything today.
Neat and eye-catching...
Lord Sima smiled lovingly at his daughter: "Daughter, come here. Dad will introduce you to some young heroes."
The girl frowned and finally walked over.
Meng Zijun stood beside Master Sima and clearly saw the reluctance in the eyes of the masked girl. He couldn't help but laugh. It seemed that Miss Sima was also disgusted with her father's eagerness to pick a son-in-law. Otherwise, he couldn't help but laugh.
, and will not come out wearing a veil.
Master Sima glanced at him. When he saw the admiring looks in the men's eyes, he felt extremely proud. He smiled gently and said, "Yanran, let me introduce you. This is Meng Zijun, the youngest rising star in the Ministry of Punishment."
Sima Yanran raised her eyes and looked over. A heroic and slightly cynical smiling face suddenly came into view. This man... is the Meng Zijun that her father often mentioned?
He looks pretty good, but I don't know how good he is in archery. If he is not as good as herself, she doesn't want such a man.
Sima Yanran opened her mouth: "After the banquet, how about going to the riding and shooting range to try your skills?"
Meng Zijun saw a provocative look in her eyes, and after thinking for a moment, he guessed what Miss Sima was thinking. Men are all competitive, and Meng Zijun was no exception. Hearing this, he smiled lightly: "Since Miss Sima
If you are so interested, Meng Zijun will definitely accompany you!"
Lord Sima heard the conversation between the two and was secretly overjoyed. His daughter's eyes were higher than her head. If she was willing to say this, she had clearly fallen in love with Meng Zijun. As for going to the riding and shooting range to try her skills, of course that would be a step forward.
This is a test for Meng Zijun.
...
After the banquet, everyone went to the riding and shooting range in Sima Mansion.
All the men were eager to try. Sima Yanran glanced at everyone, stepped forward slowly, picked up a bow and arrow casually, drew the bow and nocked the arrow and released it. Almost in the blink of an eye, the arrow hit the target with a whoosh.
Bullseye!
This move immediately shocked everyone. A girl with such good archery skills would be humiliated if she couldn't compete with her on the stage!
Meng Zijun walked forward with a casual smile and picked up the bow and arrow. His movements were not fast or graceful at all, and he even shot the arrow out casually. This arrow hit the tail of the arrow in front.
There was a burst of applause immediately.
Sima Yanran's eyes lit up and she suddenly said: "How about we compete in equestrian skills?"
Meng Zijun raised his eyebrows and responded lazily: "Just don't cry if you lose."
Sima Yanran seemed to curl her lips and then chuckled.
After Meng Zijun got on the horse, Sima Yanran also got on the horse neatly. The movements were very clean and neat. An expert would know when he made a move! Meng Zijun secretly praised in his heart, this Sima Yanran can be regarded as an anomaly among the women in the boudoir. She has no temper.
Half delicate and free-spirited, she is better than a man.
Such a woman deserves to be accompanied by the best man in the world. But because of various secular prejudices, she has become an old girl who cannot get married. It is really a pity...
Just as he was thinking about it, Sima Yanran's horse suddenly became restless and raised its hoofs in the air.
Sima Yanran exclaimed. Lord Sima who was watching from the side was even more shocked.
Meng Zijun was closest to her and stretched out his hand without thinking: "Hurry up and grab my hand! I'll pull you over!"
In the critical situation, Sima Yanran reacted quickly and grabbed Meng Zijun's hand fiercely. Meng Zijun pulled her to his horse with a strong force. The layer of gauze fell in the wind, and a beautiful and heroic face appeared.
A pretty face suddenly appeared in front of Meng Zijun's eyes. Bright and charming eyes were looking at him quietly.
Meng Zijun was caught off guard, and his heart skipped a beat. A long-lost feeling jumped and spread in his heart.
Looking at each other for a moment, Meng Zijun smiled slightly: "Sima Yanran, nice to meet you." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my greatest motivation.
