Yun Qian was quite surprised when she heard this, but she knew that this was what the old lady really meant by keeping her, but she was not interested in Yun Yan's marriage at all. Yun Yan would marry whoever she wanted to marry.
She then said softly: "I think my mother has already made plans for my sisters' marriages. My mother has always had an excellent taste. I think she will definitely choose a suitable husband for my sisters."
The old lady sighed lightly, but said nothing more and let Shu Jing and Mama Lu help her back.
Because Su Ru was out of shape and she was worried about Chu Yuanzhou, she was no longer interested in the blind date, so she told Su Qiaohui goodbye and left with a group of maids.
When she walked to the door, she turned to look at Yun Qian again, only to see Yun Qian half leaning against the window, her whole body light and agile, which compared to her who was already fat and shapeless.
She couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, thinking that Chu Yuanzhou only had Yun Qian in her heart. She stamped her feet bitterly, but she swore in her heart that she would lose weight no matter what and return to her previous lightness.
Su Qiaohui saw her appearance from the side and could not help but frown slightly.
In the afternoon, everyone went to Mingzhuang by the Qingshui River. Mingzhuang is the largest manor in the capital, covering an area of more than ten acres. The weather in early summer was already a bit hot, but it was covered in thick shade, but it was refreshing and pleasant.
There is a lotus pond measuring one acre in Mingzhuang. The lotus flowers are not in full bloom yet, but green lotus leaves have covered the entire pond surface.
The lotus pond divided the entire Mingzhuang into two halves, according to the rules of men on the left and women on the right. The women all took off their gauze hats, because across the lotus pond, the appearance of the women on the other side could not be seen clearly.
But because of its shadowy appearance, it has a unique charm, which makes people even more guessing.
It is only on this day every year, and only in Mingzhuang, that women can take off their gauze hats.
As soon as Yun Qian saw this posture, he knew that it was an ancient blind date meeting, but it was a little more subtle than modern ones.
According to the previous rules, these men and women could write poems to each other as gifts to the women they liked, and they could also stand out in poetry fairs and win the first prize in the annual poetry fair. Each man and woman had a top spot.
Usually, the man or woman who comes out on top will become the focus of the poetry gathering.
Women can marry the person of their choice, and men can marry the woman of their choice.
According to the rules of the Great Zhou Dynasty, men and women were initially married by the orders of their parents and the words of a matchmaker. About twenty years ago, the late Queen Renxiao chose a son-in-law for her eldest princess in Mingzhuang on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month.
After that, it slowly evolved into a day for blind dates. Mingzhuang is the royal garden and will be open to people who come to participate in blind dates on this day.
Since this blind date allows you to see the general appearance of the other person as well as their talents, it is quite popular among the people. Children of wealthy families usually delay their children's marriage until the age of marriageable age, and then arrange a wedding in early May.
5. Search for yourself and find the person you like on this day.
Because of this custom, a large number of people came to participate in the blind date, and they were all from wealthy families in the capital city.
Since Yun Qian was already engaged to Chu Yuanzhou and could not attend the blind date again, but because the old lady asked her to come, she followed Su Qiaohui in. Someone had already prepared private rooms for the ladies of the Yun Mansion.
Due to the outstanding status of Yun Mansion, the wing room of Yun Mansion is the single-family building at the end, which is very quiet.
