Mrs. Shen took Grandma Qian, some gadgets that the little girl liked, and some expensive tonics to see Zhao Hongru.
When she went to Zhao Hongru's residence, she couldn't find anyone. Princess Xianjun was angry and embarrassed, so she asked the waiter to look for her.
After searching for it for a while, I got a reply saying that I was learning embroidery from Master An, so I came back.
"At that time, the old slave had unbearable abdominal pain, so he had to shyly go out to find a place to go. Then he happened to meet Master An..."
After so many years, Grandma Qian still remembers this incident clearly because the young man left such a deep impression on her.
It was also because Zhao Hongru's subsequent experiences were so legendary that they deepened her impression.
She finished her convenience and was about to go back when she heard someone crying outside.
The one crying was Zhao Hongru.
This usually quiet and gentle little girl burst into tears: "I don't want to marry that person. The people in their family are monsters and inhumane. What if I give birth to a daughter?"
Master, would you like to play chess with your father often and talk to him? I beg you, he will definitely listen to your words."
The young man's voice is very nice, low and melodious, making people feel as if the spring breeze is blowing on their face just by listening to it, and they are intoxicated.
"I'm not afraid of Madam's jokes. This old slave has never heard such a pleasant voice in his life. It is inevitable that he is a little curious and has violated a taboo."
Aunt Qian punctured the window paper and peeked in secretly.
She saw a handsome, tall young man wearing a blue cloth robe. He frowned and sternly handed a handkerchief to Zhao Hongru to wipe her tears.
"The Lord County Master knows that because of my embroidery skills, I am honored to be favored by you and called my master, and because of my decent chess skills, the prince will not abandon me and allow me to play chess with him at the same table.
But the servant does not dare to be proud of this, thinking that he can dictate the master's affairs..."
Before the young man finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhao Hongru: "Don't say anything, I understand."
She looked at him eagerly, with tears on her face, and licked her lips and said: "Master An, I have never regarded you as a servant. I respect you, but..."
"County Lord!" Master An suddenly interrupted Zhao Hongru and said, "The princess is here to see you. You should go back quickly. There are guests at home, so don't be willful..."
Princess Xianjun rushed here calling Zhao Hongru's nickname.
Zhao Hongru stared at Master An, lowered her head, silently saluted and turned to leave.
Master An was in a daze for a while, carefully folded the silk handkerchief that Zhao Hongru had used and hid it in his arms, turned around and left in a hurry.
"The old slave heard from their words that this handsome Master An was actually the embroidery master of the county lord.
It is rare for a man to have such skills, he is so young and beautiful, and he is also the chess opponent of Prince Xian, so he is particularly interested in me."
Aunt Qian said: "Later, there was a girl in our house who wanted to learn embroidery skills, so the old slave thought of Master An and mentioned it to the old lady.
It’s not that I want to recruit people here, I just think that if I can get him to come over and give me some advice every day, I can get by.
The old lady tested Princess Xianjun, and Princess Xianjun denied the existence of this person.
Later, the county lord's illness also recovered, and Shunshun Dangdang married to Muhou Mansion. There was no news about Master An again.
It’s such a pity. With his appearance and talent, no matter which family he comes from, he would be willing to support him.”
Mu Yunhan said: "Have you seen his appearance clearly?"
