Although the other party was wearing a curtain hat, and the mother-in-law and maid she was bringing with her were not familiar faces that were always by his side, she was his mother after all, and a son could recognize her with his eyes closed.
Wu Chao's heart was pounding, and he subconsciously wanted to look back at Xu Mingyi who was following him, but in order to prevent it, he seemed to have a guilty conscience, so he finally held back.
Miss Xu was dressed in men's clothing, and she took great pains to hide her skin color and pierced ears. There was no way her mother would notice that she was a girl.
Thinking like this, Wu Chao calmed down and was about to call out "Mother" when he saw his mother shaking her head slightly at him, as if to stop him from speaking.
Take another look at how your mother is dressed——
He understands.
After all, the dignified wife of Prince Dingnan took her mother-in-law and maid to a restaurant for dinner alone, which was indeed inconsistent with her usual dignity.
For the sake of his mother's face, Wu Chao could only pretend to be unfamiliar with her and pass her by.
When Mrs. Xu, the wife of Prince Dingnan, passed by Xu Mingyi, she quietly took a second look.
Then he nodded secretly in his heart.
So lovely.
She likes it too.
The group of people left Qingfeng Tower and got on the carriage.
Mrs. Xu took off the power fence, revealing a comfortable face.
The mother-in-law glanced at her wife and secretly wondered.
The young master was followed just now by a young master like jade. Didn’t the madam see that?
The business of the master's family is her own business. The mother-in-law reminded in a low voice: "Madam, it seems that the young master does not come to eat alone... The young master behind him seems to be a stranger."
Xu gave a faint "hmm" and said: "After he came to the capital, he didn't like to interact with people. It's hard to find someone who can catch his eye, so just let him be."
The mother-in-law was frightened when she heard this.
Is this something that can be done with the young master?
It seems that Madam knows nothing about that kind of thing!
"Madam, the young master has not yet married, so there are some things that must not be tolerated..." the mother-in-law said earnestly: "The young master has been reluctant to discuss the marriage, and the maids are not allowed to approach him in the house. It is just that the maids are not allowed to approach.
, but they chose a group of boys, this..."
Mrs. Xu looked at her.
What is this word?
If the maid is not allowed to approach, then naturally the only choice is the servant. Is it possible that there is any choice between the two that is neither male nor female?
But seeing that her mother-in-law was hesitant to speak and had no place to put her old face, Mrs. Xu didn't understand anything.
To be honest, it's not like she has never worried about this.
But today, this worry has been completely dispelled——
Although A Yuan is different from others, there is no need to be too anxious about getting married, but he will eventually marry a wife and have children.
"What are you looking at... you can't tell that A Yuan is carrying a girl disguised as a man?" For the sake of her son's reputation, Mrs. Xu decided to explain.
"Girl's house?!"
The mother-in-law was surprised.
She really didn't notice it!
But if the lady says yes, then it must be so.
After all, when Madam was a little girl, she liked to go out dressed as a man, but she watched with fear all the way.
"Can I go find out which family the girl is from?" the mother-in-law asked excitedly.
Thank God, the young master finally came to his senses.
Which girl has such extraordinary abilities? She should pay homage to her.
"A Yuan has always been keen and a man who saves face. Don't end up alarming him or making him angry." Mrs. Xu said, "Let him go."
These days, the prince also heard that A Yuan often met a girl in a teahouse.
But A Yuan repeatedly told the clerks and secret guards in the building not to reveal even a single word of the girl's identity, not even to the prince or her.
Of course, if they are willing to ask, they can naturally ask.
But why make your son unhappy?
This is the first time a young boy has found a girl he likes. He definitely doesn’t want the elders in the family to get involved in this kind of thing.
They went to inquire rashly, what if the brat gave up his choice and the orifice stopped opening halfway?
As for the girl's family background, these are not important.
It's not that the grandson of Dingnan Palace doesn't care about marrying a wife, but A Yuan...
Thinking of that incident, Mrs. Xu sighed in her heart.
Well, there are some things that a woman like her cannot make the decision after all.
Now she just wants her son to be happy every day. As a mother, she will agree to whatever he wants to do.
Of course, it is absolutely not okay to have a male pet!
Her Ayuan's burden of incense is heavier than anyone else's.
…
In Qingfeng Tower, Wu Chao and Xu Mingyi had just sat down in the private room.
Xu Mingyi pushed the bamboo tube containing the dishes on the table in front of Wu Chao, and raised her hand to signal him to order.
"I have never been here before, so I'd better let... my dear brother come here." Wu Chao said.
After all, he didn't know what she always liked to eat.
After Xu Mingyi heard this, he stopped showing any humility and picked out the dishes one by one.
After she ordered, the waiter smiled and checked the names of the dishes with her.
Every time the waiter announced the name of a dish, he would see the young master nodding towards him.
After reviewing the menu, the waiter turned around and left the private room, shaking his head with a regretful look on his face.
What a good-looking young man, but it is a pity that he is mute.
The room was a little stuffy, so Akui opened the window facing the street.
Xu Mingyi glanced out the window and saw a shop not far from the opposite side. She turned to Wu Chao and said, "Master Wu, please sit here for a while. I'll excuse you for a moment. I'll go back -"
Wu Chao didn't know why, but he didn't ask any more questions and just nodded slightly.
Xu Mingyi took Akui out of the private room, exited the Qingfeng Building, and went straight to the shop called "Bao Jin Zhai".
It only took half a quarter of an hour to get in and then I came out.
Wu Chao stood in front of the window and looked at Xu Mingyi, who was walking quickly back towards the restaurant.
Akui held a brocade box in her hand and followed her, almost trotting.
She doesn't have much of a girlish frailty, and she walks with a sassy air. Her face, which has been darkened quite a bit, is still very eye-catching in the crowd.
Wu Chao clearly saw several young ladies passing by her looking away frequently.
Not long after, the sound of footsteps was heard, and Wu Chao returned to the chair and sat down.
"Bought an inkstone?" he asked casually.
The shop just now was obviously a pen and ink shop, and the brocade box Akui held in his hand was square and square——
Xu Mingyi nodded and said with a smile: "I'm lucky, I bought a good inkstone."
"Do you also like to practice calligraphy on weekdays?"
He remembered that she was good at writing.
And with her status, if she didn't like to practice calligraphy, she probably wouldn't buy inkstones in person.
Xu Mingyi told the truth: "When I was young, my father and second uncle watched me practice for several years. In the past two years, it has been wasted."
In my grandfather's words, writing is for communication, and it only matters if it can be understood by others.
