Five hundred and twentieth chapters as a matchmaker (1)
Yan Zhenzhen jumped off the carriage and took Xie Mingxi's hand with a smile: "Why are you waiting for me outside the door so early?"
The two had made an appointment to meet today. Yan Zhenzhen had nothing to do at home, so she came half an hour early. Unexpectedly, Xie Mingxi was already waiting outside, which made her feel very touched.
Xie Mingxi responded lightly: "Sister Mu came to me to chat with me before, so I came out to see her off. Unexpectedly, you happened to be here too."
Senior Mu?
Yan Zhenzhen was stunned for a moment, then realized what she was doing and wrinkled her nose: "Why is she here?"
Before Xie Mingxi could say anything, she snorted again: "On the day you got pregnant, her father didn't say anything nice. If the seventh prince hadn't been there, everyone would have laughed. Fortunately, she had the nerve to come see you.
.”
Xie Mingxi didn't want to say more and casually changed the topic: "Let's not talk about her anymore. Let's go in and talk."
Yan Zhenzhen smiled and hummed.
…
After a cup of tea, Xie Mingxi and Yan Zhenzhen sat opposite each other in the room.
A moment ago, sitting opposite Xie Mingxi was Mu Ziqi, who looked guilty and sad. At this time, sitting opposite was Yan Zhenzhen, who was lively and lively. The dull atmosphere was swept away.
"... In the past few days, two families have come to ask me about my marriage."
When Yan Zhenzhen mentioned the marriage, she was not shy at all, but rather complacent: "It can be seen that on the day you got your haircut, I, the person who praised you, performed very well and stole the show. I left a deep impression on everyone!"
Xie Mingxi laughed teasingly: "Yes, yes! You were the most outstanding that day, even I was not as good as you, so I was willing to fall behind."
Yan Zhenzhen reluctantly said modestly: "You are only a little bit worse than me."
After joking for a while, Yan Zhenzhen asked curiously: "You specially asked someone to send me a letter, saying that you have something to discuss with me. What is it?"
This is also interesting to say.
After Zhao Qi met Yan Zhenzhen that day, he became interested. He sent someone to ask for Sheng Hong every day. Sheng Hong was troubled by his friends, so he had to ask Xiang Hui to leave the palace and deliver the letter to Lianchi Academy.
.
Xie Mingxi reluctantly accepted this hot potato.
Facing Yan Zhenzhen's pretty face full of interest, Xie Mingxi didn't mince words and said, "What impression do you have of Mr. Zhao?"
Yan Zhenzhen was confused when asked: "Which Mr. Zhao?"
It seems that there is no impression.
Xie Mingxi said lightly: "Lao Zhao Ge's youngest son, his full name is Zhao Qi. When I was a child that day, he came to Xie's Mansion with the Seventh Prince. At that time, he stood in the corner and secretly met you once.
Enthusiastic."
Yan Zhenzhen: "..."
She seemed calm that day, but in fact she was extremely nervous. She had no time to look around. She didn't even notice that there was Zhao Qi in the corner!
Yan Zhenzhen was stunned, and Xie Mingxi continued speaking unhurriedly:
"The Zhao family and the Yan family are from the same family. Zhao Qi is extremely intelligent and has a talent for reading that is not inferior to that of Lu Chi. He is just a little more tender-faced and lacks some stability."
"He is interested in you. He has asked his parents at home and will come to propose marriage soon. However, he is afraid that you will not agree to the marriage, so he asked me to say a few words in front of you. He also has the audacity to see you in private again.
.”
"The main thing is that I want you to meet him. If you like him, you can agree to marry the Zhao family."
"I just want to ask you today, are you willing to see him once?"
…
After burning the incense, Yan Zhenzhen left with soft steps.
After leaving the house, I happened to meet Mr. Gu Shanchang.
There are a lot more students in the academy this year, and there are many trivial matters. Gu Shanchang is also much busier than usual. However, Gu Shanchang is still very happy to see his former students.
However, Yan Zhenzhen seemed not to have seen Mr. Gu Shanchang, and drifted past Mr. Gu Shanchang as if he was sleepwalking.
Gu Shanchang: "..."
What happened to this child?
Although he usually speaks more bluntly, he still knows etiquette. What happened today?
Gu Shanchang was confused, so he simply went to Xie Mingxi's house and asked about it.
After Xie Mingxi heard this, she smiled, but refused to say it clearly. She only said vaguely: "Girls are older, so they always have some thoughts. Master, don't ask any more questions."
Then he smiled and said: "I made an appointment with Sister Yan to go to Mingyue Lake tomorrow. Master, would you like to go with me?"
Tomorrow is not a holiday, and with Gu Shanchang's temperament, he will definitely insist on staying in the academy. Xie Mingxi mentioned it casually, predicting that Gu Shanchang would refuse.
Gu Shanchang raised his eyebrows in a funny way: "You opened your mouth to invite me to go with you, how could I not respond? Why do you look like this? Could it be that you just said it casually and had no intention of letting me go with you?"
Xie Mingxi was not willing to admit it, and immediately said: "Master agreed so readily, I was surprised and happy. Then I was stunned for a moment. Master is willing to go, I don't know how happy I am."
…
The next day, in the afternoon.
Mingyue Lake.
There are many scenic spots in the capital, and Mingyue Lake is one of the most famous ones.
Mingyue Lake covers an area of about 100 acres, and the lake water is clear. At night, the lake is glowing with white moonlight, just like the moon falling into the lake, and the scenery is extremely beautiful. Mingyue Lake is also named after this.
It is early summer now, and there are green lotus leaves on Mingyue Lake, and occasionally one or two light pink buds can be seen. The breeze blows, and the lake water ripples.
At this time, boating on the lake, sitting with three or five friends, drinking tea, chatting and laughing, is also a joy in life.
Beside Mingyue Lake, there are many boats specially reserved for lake tours. Rental fees are charged according to the time of lake tour, and the price is high.
The boatman of one of the boats was beaming with joy today. The reason was that the boat had been booked since early in the morning. The young man named Zhao paid the full day's rent, but he didn't come until noon. So.
After all, he took advantage of it greatly.
The baby-faced Mr. Zhao looked quite young. The boatman enthusiastically brought hot tea and snacks to him and said casually: "Mr. Zhao looks quite young. He should be fourteen this year!"
Mr. Zhao's face turned dark at that time.
The boatman immediately regretted it and did not dare to say any more.
After waiting for half an hour, a young man named Sheng came.
Ouch! How could this Young Master Sheng be so beautiful? Could it be that he was disguised as a woman? However, he is so tall, so he cannot be a woman! There are still young men in the world who are so beautiful!
The boatman has a bad habit of talking to himself when he is excited.
Mr. Sheng, who was beautiful and had a keen ear, had a slightly subtle look on his face after hearing the boatman's murmur.
After waiting for a while, a carriage slowly came to the lake.
The beautiful Mr. Sheng's eyes lit up and he stood up.
However, the baby-faced Mr. Zhao moved a step faster and rushed to get off the boat and reach the carriage.
The carriage door opened, and the first person to get out of the carriage was Chief Gu Shan.
