At the end of autumn, Xu Mansion holds a grand autumn appreciation meeting every year in Tingzhu Villa.
Rather than saying it is an autumn appreciation conference, it is better to say it is a blind date conference.
Although Xu Yingke was born bright and charming, she was actually already over 20 years old. Governor Xu had been worried about her life-long events, but he couldn't help his daughter's own way of doing things, so he came up with this idea.
He would deliver invitations to major unmarried officials, merchants, literati, and unmarried boudoir girls in Tongcheng, in the name of autumn rewards, to increase the chances of women getting along with men.
The conference started when Xu Yingke was eighteen years old. Three years have passed and Xu Yingke is still alone.
But Magistrate Xu did not give up. This year, he expanded the scope of this year's Autumn Appreciation Conference. In addition to the wealthy and famous people in Tongcheng, he also sent invitations to officials and princes from surrounding Yuncheng, Daoxian, and Qingshan City.
Yu Weiyin receives invitations like this every year.
But she never went there before.
In distant memory, she had a bad relationship with Xu Yingke. The two were at odds with each other, and Yu Chutian was the only one who went to the Autumn Appreciation Conference every year.
Because of this, Yu Chutian stole the show at the conference and became famous far and wide.
The shimmering gold powder was stained on the bright red greeting card, making the four characters with flying dragons and phoenixes more and more elegant like flowing clouds and flowing water.
"Miss, are you going to attend the Autumn Appreciation Conference this year?" Yao Xiang asked in confusion.
In previous years, Miss has never attended the Autumn Appreciation Fair. Will there be any changes this year?
"Since Miss Xu has specially invited me, how can I not attend with honor? What's more, the second lady and Mr. Zhao are also going together..."
A smile overflowed from her lips. This Autumn Appreciation Conference would definitely be a surprise. How could she not go?
"But... I'm worried about Miss." Yao Xiang frowned.
"What's there to worry about? Your lady, I'm going to participate in the autumn appreciation, not to enter a wolf's den."
"Uh... Miss, I heard that the Autumn Appreciation Conference is a blind date conference, and that a group of unmarried men and women are locked up in a separate courtyard for several days, and what kind of courtship is involved. It's really unbelievable..."
Yao Xiang murmured, "Miss, I think this kind of conference is quite unseemly... What should you do if you are bullied?"
She is a maid and is not qualified to participate. Who else can protect the young lady?
Yu Weiyin smiled lightly and tapped the tip of her nose, "Don't be afraid, I know kung fu, and those people can't help me."
"There are also many swordsmen and swordsmen from the martial arts world among the people participating in the conference. How can I not be afraid, young lady?"
"Silly! This is the Autumn Appreciation Conference. Since swordsmen and swordsmen are here to participate, they naturally want to find a good marriage. How can they wield swords and kill people?"
To prevent her from continuing to worry, Yu Weiyin lowered his voice.
"Yao Xiang, I have to participate. This is the best way to deal with Zhao Wushan and Yu Chutian."
If she stayed in the Yu Mansion, with the constraints of her father, and the constraints of Liang and Zhuang Liebing, she would always be a little powerless if she wanted to fight back.
She couldn't remain passive and had to deal with Zhao Wushan as soon as possible.
There are more important things waiting for her later.
It's better to get those two people out of the mansion, like a cat chasing a mouse, and let them taste the bitter fruit they have brewed.
"This Autumn Appreciation Conference is a mixed bag. Miss, you should bring Shao Mo with you."
Yao Xiang suggested, "At least, he is loyal to the young lady and can protect the young lady immediately when in danger. Perhaps, he can also help the young lady to avoid many unnecessary troubles."
Yu Weiyin pondered for a moment and nodded quietly.
Indeed, bringing him along would be a great help. For now, she must convince her father that Zhao Wushan is not her lover!
…
Tingzhu Villa is a unique villa in Xu Mansion.
Because Xu Yingke loves water and loves to see cattails and open rivers, this villa was built in the middle of the endless river. It took nearly three years to complete.
Looking at the courtyard in the middle of the water from a distance, everyone couldn't help but feel frightened.
With its carved railings and painted buildings, pavilions and pavilions, and meandering water corridors, even from miles away, you can still be attracted by the exquisite, graceful, majestic and majestic courtyard.
In the river, which is as clear as a mirror, there are clear and soft water plants floating on the bottom of the water.
That other courtyard in the water is like a beauty on the other side of the water, out of reach.
The sound of "Yes" interrupted the thoughts of the young master and young lady standing on the bank in fine clothes. A small boat slowly appeared on the clear river. Several maids in goose-yellow skirts came with oars, like a splash-ink landscape painting.
, which makes people’s eyes brighten.
When they got closer, everyone realized that it was not a small boat, but a large ship that could accommodate a hundred people.
The women in yellow robes moored the boat and then saluted everyone respectfully, speaking softly.
"Ladies, sir, please come aboard. My lady has been waiting for a long time."
Some people stepped onto the boat nonchalantly, but Yu Weiyin, who was attending the autumn appreciation meeting for the first time, was very surprised.
She had never seen such a unique courtyard, and her beautiful eyes couldn't help but shine with a bright light.
Zhao Wushan, who was following closely, glanced at her subconsciously.
She was not dressed up, she just wore an ordinary white silk skirt with origami patterns, her bun was also in a very simple style, and there were no extraneous ornaments on her temples. She only parted with the begonias in full bloom, which were like a little rouge, covering her whole body.
Plain white, adding a touch of charming red.
Then she looked at Yu Chutian beside her.
It is also a plain dress, as soft as the delicate flower bones in the wind, and it is beautiful. Standing side by side with Yu Weiyin, it seems that something is missing, making people have no desire to explore.
He closed his eyes lightly and revealed a determined smile on his lips.
If this trip can capture Yu Weiyin, considering how charming and alluring she is, he can have the sweet dream of being the queen of Xiang'e.
He glanced behind Yu Weiyin again.
Fortunately, this time there was no disgusting man in black behind her.
As long as the smelly and hard stone is not an eyesore and Chu Tian's help is available, Yu Weiyin is nothing more than soft meat on the chopping board, not just left to be rubbed and squeezed by him.
What's more, this woman has a very good impression of him now, so he probably doesn't need to spend too much effort.
Noticing Zhao Wushan's gaze, Yu Weiyin hurriedly suppressed the starlight in her eyes and shrank behind him, "Cousin Wushan, the river is so wide, Yinyin is a little scared."
"Don't be afraid of Yinyin, my cousin will protect you and won't let you suffer any harm."
He answered gently, protecting her behind him, and stretched out his hands to her, "If Yinyin is scared, you can hold my cousin's hand."
The gentlemen and ladies around him couldn't help but pursed their lips and smiled when they saw his tender look, but there was no strange color in their eyes.
Although it is a blind date conference, there are also many like-minded lovers who will participate together, just to add a beautiful memory.
