Qiu Ruoruo's marriage is a big worry for her. So far, that's it.
On this day, Yu Zhi put on light makeup and heavy makeup at Qiu Ruoruo's request. Sure enough, Buddha relies on gold and clothing, and people rely on clothes. If you want to be arrogant, you have to pretend.
Yu Zhi has a good appearance, unlike Ye Qinghuan who makes people feel extremely handsome at first glance. He has always been extremely handsome. Yu Zhi is the type that is attractive, like old tea, the more you taste it, the more fragrant it becomes.
Yu Zhi refused at first, but after seeing the person in the mirror, he readily accepted Qiu Ruoruo's tinkering. He turned his head and glanced at Ye Qinghuan, like a victorious general, then looked at himself in the mirror, and praised happily in his heart - what a handsome young man.
"Wow." Qiu Ruoruo couldn't believe her eyes. The person in front of her was completely different from the sloppy boy before.
With handsome appearance and upright posture, he is dressed in a plain white embroidered cloud pattern robe with a jet black belt around his waist, which is simple yet elegant.
Yu Zhi already has body heat, so he doesn't need many robes to add to his body. Another robe is enough. The extra black robe is just for lining, not for warmth.
"Is it popular among thousands of girls?" Yu Zhi said proudly.
Qiu Ruoruo rolled her eyes, she didn't want Yu Zhi to be so arrogant. If all the arrogance is revealed in front of one's own people, later there will be only silence in front of others.
"Let's go, let's go." Qiu Ruoruo urged.
It is said that it is a marriage, but in fact it is just that Qiu Yu has selected a few well-known young people in Kyoto for Qiu Ruoruo. Naturally, these people are also willing to accept Qiu Yu's invitation. Dare I ask who in Kyoto would refuse the Qiu family’s olive branch?
There is a flower hall in Qiu Mansion where various exotic flowers and herbs are planted. I don’t know what method was used. Even in winter, the flower hall is as warm as spring.
At this time, there was a young man sitting in the flower hall. He looked much older than Qiu Ruoruo. The waiter served him tea, and he drank it peacefully, not paying any attention to the fact that he had been waiting for an hour or so.
But he didn't care, but the servant behind him couldn't help but whispered in the young man's ear: "Miss Qiu's putting on such a big air clearly means she doesn't want to see us. Master, you are really good-tempered, but I can't stand it."
The young man's expression remained unchanged and he whispered: "The Qiu family is a wealthy family, and Qiu Ruoruo is the only daughter of the Qiu family. In terms of honor, except for those princesses and princesses in Kyoto, it is her turn. Wait, what else? What about the relationship?"
This temperament is really bearable.
Even if the young master said this, the servant did not dare to say anything more and had to wait aside.
Qiu Mansion continued tea for an unknown number of times until Qiu Ruoruo finally showed up.
Qiu Ruoruo was just dressing up today. She didn't think any of the people Qiu Yu had chosen for her were worthy of her dressing up.
The young man also came from a wealthy family in Kyoto, and was Zhao Jie, the son of Zhao Kai, the Minister of Punishment. The young masters in Kyoto are all handsome, no matter how handsome they are, they won't be any worse.
Zhao Jie is twenty years old. He once studied at Qiuzhi Academy. He also excelled in many places in the Qingyun Examination. Now, with the help of his father, he has an official position in the crown prince's palace.
When Qiu Ruoruo saw Zhao Jie saluting, she returned the salute. Although she didn't want to come, she still had to follow the etiquette.
Kyoto is a big place, but there are many intersections in the circles of these gentlemen and young ladies. The two of them have met a few times, but only a few times.
It was Qiu Ruoruo's first time and she didn't know how to speak. Zhao Jie had something in mind, but after seeing Qiu Ruoruo, he didn't know what to do for a while.
The two were silent for a long time, and finally Yu Zhixian broke the silence.
"Master Zhao wants to marry Ruoruo?" Yu Zhizhi knew that he was calling Qiuqiu in front of outsiders. He wanted to explain more, so he simply changed his position.
Qiu Ruoruo immediately blushed with embarrassment, and Zhao Jie was also stunned. This was the first time for both of them to ask such a direct question.
"this……"
Zhao Jie looked at Yu Zhi, then at Qiu Ruoruo, and was speechless for a moment.
"Mr. Zhao, to tell you the truth, I think you are a little older and are not a good match for my Ruoruo family. Moreover, if Ruoruo has already made a lifelong commitment to me, Mr. Zhao can't take away anyone's love." Yu Zhi already knew that. After learning a lot of information about Zhao Jie from Qiu Ruoruo's mouth, words of persuasion to retreat came out of her mouth.
Zhao Jie was confused, but he was also a smart person and reacted quickly. "Who are you?"
"Yu Zhi."
Zhao Jie had a look of understanding, raised his hand and saluted, and said: "Brother Yu, don't try to trick me. Uncle Qiu naturally knew that Sister Ruoruo was not interested in her, so he asked me to come and see her."
Zhao Jie's humble and polite appearance really made Yu Zhi stop speaking bluntly.
"Besides, Brother Yu's reputation is not very good in Kyoto. Uncle Qiu will not betroth Sister Ruoruo to you." Zhao Jie added. His expression was calm, but the disdain and contempt for Yu Zhi in his eyes could not be hidden.
The other party also did some investigation.
Yu Zhi knew that his ins and outs must have been completely exposed, and it was probably the same for Ye Qinghuan. Yu Zhi scratched his head and could only look at the exotic flowers and plants in the flower hall, laughing. He didn't care what the other party said about his reputation. But it's all gossip.
Seeing that Yu Zhi didn't answer, the victorious look on Zhao Jie's face became more obvious, and then he said to Qiu Ruoruo: "Sister Ruoruo, don't be deceived by others when you are young. I heard that this son is secretly framed by the young master of the Bai family. Let's The person who embarrasses her is also the person from Wenwen Academy who is asking for shame. Those who are close to vermillion are red, and those who are close to ink are black. Sister Ruoruo is a raw jade, and she cannot be tainted by evil people."
Okay, everything is fine.
Yu Zhi thought that the other party investigated him very carefully, but he didn't expect that it was just superficial. reputation? Everyone knows Yu Zhi's reputation. Although there is only one such person in Kyoto, very few people have seen him in person.
Qiu Ruoruo's face was ashen and she sat up straight, looking like she was burning with anger.
Zhao Jie thought it was because he had prompted Qiu Ruoruo to see clearly the shame of this skinny man. He couldn't help but feel even more proud. The big brother enlightened the little sister and opened the eyes of the lost lamb. Zhao Jie seemed to have saved the world.
Yu Zhi knew that Qiu Ruoruo was about to show her fangs. Although the word "fangs" was suitable to describe such a cute girl, Qiu Ruoruo's subsequent reaction went beyond the description of "fangs".
Zhao Jie still wanted to speak, but was directly interrupted by Qiu Ruoruo, "Mr. Zhao, it is my father's wish to let you enter the Qiu Mansion, and it is also my father's wish to let me meet you. As a son, I have to comply with my father's wish. So don’t get me wrong. It’s not that I want to see you, and it’s not that I have admiration for you, or that I might have admiration for you.”
Zhao Jie was stunned, wondering where he had offended Qiu Ruoruo. According to his previous impression, Qiu Ruoruo should be a weak, polite and kind woman, how could she...
"Besides, don't point fingers at the people around me. In my heart, you are inferior to him." Qiu Ruoruo pointed at Zhao Jie impartially with her slender fingers.
Zhao Jie tried his best to restrain himself, but the servant beside him became even more expressionless and dared not speak. Just now he complained that Qiu Ruoruo was not polite. Who knows that people don't take them seriously at all.
Zhao Jie thought to himself, "How come I, the son of the Minister of Punishment, have good relations with the Crown Prince and serve in the Crown Prince's uterus, can't compare to the mere shame of asking?"
Zhao Jie couldn't hide his anger. In the first words, Zhao Jie believed that he was well-educated and could tolerate it, but in the last few words of the second words, he said it was intolerable. In the Qiuzhi Academy, he was not number one, but he was still among the best. Today, he was outshone by a well-known Qiuzhi Shame. There is nothing more uncomfortable than this.
The sharp gaze shot directly into Yu Zhi's eyes, like two sharp swords, making it difficult for people to dodge. There was only one emotion in his gaze - contempt.
The innocent Yu Zhi dodged. He was obviously the one who was scolded by Qiu Ruoruo. Why did he look in my direction? Sure enough, handsome guys are easily misunderstood.
"What do you think?" Zhao Jie asked. He was still sitting, but his momentum was much stronger than that of the confused and innocent Yu Zhi.
Yu Zhi took a step back, not out of fear, but he was always a man who took a step forward. I took a step back, hiding if I could, and evading if I could. Facing Zhao Jie's strength, Yu Zhi subconsciously chose to retreat.
Zhao Jie stared at Yu Zhi with cold eyes, obviously wanting Yu Zhi to tell him who was strong and who was weak. He was used to seeing these weaklings and believed that these low-level scum would be frightened by his aura.
As long as Yu Zhi shows weakness, Qiu Ruoruo's "You are not as good as him" is just a joke meant to slap himself in the face.
Zhao Jie understood this truth and did it deliberately, Qiu Ruoruo also understood this truth, and Yu Zhi understood this truth even more.
"Sister Ruoruo, I think Brother Yu's silence already represents his answer." Zhao Jie chuckled.
Qiu Ruoruo, on the other hand, was cold-eyed. No matter how witty she said, she couldn't make any excuses in such a scene.
Yu Zhi scratched his head, raised his head, and looked at the roof of the flower hall, with a trace of distress between his brows.
"Oh." Yu Zhi sighed suddenly, and then said with a slightly helpless expression: "I knew this was a trouble."
Qiu Ruoruo's laughter came from the side. At some point, Qiu Ruoruo returned to the appearance of the little girl next door. This is the first time Zhao Jie has seen such a cute little girl.
Turning around, Yu Zhi met Zhao Jie's gaze and crossed his legs. There was a hint of cynicism in his eyes, like a spoiled playboy from a certain family.
"You investigated me before you came here. Not only me, but also Ruoruo. Although I have a very famous reputation in Kyoto, unlike you, who is unknown, but not many people have seen me. So you did your homework. Not bad, not bad."
When it came to being extremely famous, Qiu Ruoruo burst into laughter, her smile as bright as a flower. She is a very good-looking girl, and she looks even better when she smiles.
Yu Zhi paused and said in a very friendly tone: "You must not think that I am complimenting you."
When Qiu Ruoruo heard this, she laughed unscrupulously.
The vein on Zhao Jie's forehead twitched, and he cursed in his heart, do you think I'm a fool?
"Since you have investigated us, you should know that not only am I the only one around Ruoruo, but there is also a guy named Ye Qinghuan. Yes, yes, that Ye Qinghuan. A guy with as famous a name as me." Yu Zhi guessed correctly. He didn't know what Zhao Jie was thinking. He didn't know who Shame was, but the words Ye Qinghuan wouldn't feel strange if they were mentioned after they disappeared for three years.
"He is in the west courtyard of Qiu Mansion. He is my thug brother on weekdays. If you think you are better than him, he will challenge me again." Yu Zhi said casually.
But Zhao Jie didn't believe it at all. His source of information was very reliable. How could he not mention such an important person as Ye Qinghuan?
"You don't believe it?" Yu Zhi didn't know what kind of bullshit investigation the son of the Minister of Justice was doing. Anyone with some brains and some knowledge would not question Yu Zhi like this.
How did Baiwei Ju Qiu Ruoruo and Ye Qinghuan protect Yu Zhi back then? There are also many rumors.
