Zuo Anning glanced forward quickly, and her face turned red instantly.
First, she was a little embarrassed and embarrassed when she met Qiao Tianjing for the first time after her mother made a big fuss last time.
Second, Tan Hanchi is a foreigner, and it is somewhat against the rules to meet him rashly.
"An... An Ning has met her eldest cousin and this... Mr. Tan."
After saying this, Zuo Anning's face turned redder and redder, and he lowered his head cautiously, looking at the toes of his shoes.
Tan Hanchi was caught off guard and saw Zuo Anning's face.
He was slightly startled at first, these eyes...he seemed to have seen them somewhere before.
Erlang's cousin...
Tan Hanchi was slightly stunned.
That day while walking down the street, Erlang called his cousin to the teahouse opposite. He glanced up and saw a girl wearing a veil, who must be Miss Zuo in front of him.
He was lost in thought and stared at the girl's head for a while.
After realizing what he was doing, Tan Hanchi panicked and quickly turned away slightly.
"My Excellency Tan Hanchi, I have met Miss Zuo."
Qiao Tianjing realized something was wrong and was about to take Tan Hanchi away. Qiao Diyi was already introducing Zuo Anning with great interest:
"Cousin An Ning, this is the new top pick who was paraded on the street that day! Do you remember, right? You also saw him upstairs that day."
When Zuo Anning heard this, her ears turned red, and even her fair neck felt a little warm.
"me......"
She mooted for a long time, wishing she could find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.
How can Cousin Qiao talk like this!
"Ahem, second brother, Brother Tan shouldn't stay too long. You'd better take your cousin to see your mother quickly. Next time you have time, we can have a drink with Brother Tan."
Hearing this, Zuo Anning felt as if he was receiving an amnesty. He quickly saluted Qiao Tianjing and Tan Hanchi, bowed his head and left in a hurry.
Qiao Diyi felt a little regretful and patted Tan Hanchi on the shoulder, "Brother Tan, let's talk about it next time!"
Tan Hanchi nodded and saw Qiao Diyi catching up with Zuo Anning and shouting: "Hey! Cousin An Ning, why are you walking so fast! You're going to the wrong side, it's the left!"
Qiao Tianjing looked at Tan Hanchi and saw his upright and polite appearance. He suddenly remembered that his mother had once said that she wanted to find a good home for her cousin Zuo...
Tsk...
Seems interesting.
Qiao Tianjing led Tan Hanchi to continue walking out, and suddenly said: "Brother Tan, you are already weak, do you know if you have a match in your family?"
Tan Hanchi was a little confused as to why Qiao Tianjing suddenly turned to this topic. He smiled and said:
"What, is Brother Qiao going to be a matchmaker? It just so happens that I am alone and haven't gotten married yet."
For so many years, he has been focusing on reading books about sages and studying for fame. He has never thought about other things. So far, he has not even met his sweetheart.
He didn't dare to think that Qiao Tianjing wanted to introduce Zuo Anning to him. After all, she was the legitimate daughter of the Duke's palace and her status was very noble.
Even though he is now a popular figure in front of the emperor, he has no foundation in the capital and no background. It is impossible for the daughter of a big family to be promised to him.
Qiao Tianjing smiled lightly when he heard this, "Brother Tan is a good person among people. If you don't have a sweetheart, then I will ask my mother to keep an eye on you."
When Tan Hanchi heard this, he waved his hand hurriedly, "How dare you trouble Mrs. Qiao with this kind of thing."
Qiao Tianjing couldn't help but laugh, "My mother doesn't find it troublesome at all, she is very happy!"
When Tan Hanchi heard this, he pondered for a moment, then did not refuse, and smiled with a slight blush.
"In this case, I will wait for the good news."
Qiao Tianjing patted Tan Hanchi on the shoulder, "Jiuyue, come and have my wine first."
His marriage to Miss Han's family is scheduled for September, and it's coming soon.
Tan Hanchi smiled and said, "Of course I'll be there!"
When they arrived at the gate of Qiao's Mansion, the expressions on both people's faces changed at the same time and became polite and distant again.
"Master Tan, walk slowly."
"Master Qiao, please stay."
Tan Hanchi got on his horse and left Qiao Mansion.
On the other side, Zuo Anning also came to Mrs. Qiao.
Mrs. Qiao held Zuo Anning's hand enthusiastically, and seeing her pretty face flushed, she couldn't help but be filled with doubts.
"Why are you blushing like this? Sit down and have a sip of tea."
Qiao Diyi also came to his senses now, and said with an apologetic expression:
"I just met my eldest brother and Brother Tan on the way here. I was so happy that I forgot my sense of propriety, so I stayed a little longer. Maybe I scared my cousin."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Qiao couldn't help but cast a sidelong glance at Qiao Diyi, "You are indeed unmeasured. Get off quickly."
Seeing this, Zuo Anning hurriedly said: "Auntie, don't blame the second cousin. It's nothing. An Ning is just a little embarrassed to see a stranger suddenly."
Qiao Jiaojiao was lying on the couch and fell asleep. When she heard this, she suddenly became energetic.
【what happened! Why do I suddenly smell gossip! 】
[Wait, Tan Hanchi and cousin An Ning! How could I have forgotten? This pair really has some connection! 】
When Mrs. Qiao heard this, her ears stood up!
Dad also asked her to find a good marriage for An Ning! She has always kept it in mind, but there has never been a good candidate!
[My aunt gave cousin An Ning to the second prince, and the second prince turned around and gave it to the guard. The guard didn't know how to show mercy, so he secretly teased his cousin and left her scarred! 】
[My cousin was devastated, especially because her biological parents pushed her into the fire pit, which made her completely lose her interest in life. 】
[But when my cousin committed suicide, she happened to be saved by Tan Hanchi! 】
[The specific details were not given, but at that time Tan Hanchi was already a famous person around the second prince. Perhaps out of pity, he personally begged the second prince for mercy, and it seemed that he wanted his cousin to reconcile with the guard! 】
[That’s right, that’s it! It’s just that I didn’t say what happened to my cousin in the end! 】
[Tsk, tsk, tsk, this is destiny! This time, Tan Hanchi is the top pick with a clear conscience, a talented man and a beautiful woman, how great! 】
Qiao Jiaojiao was so excited that her eyes almost glowed!
Mrs. Qiao's heart skipped a beat when she heard this. When she looked at the well-behaved Zuo Anning in front of her, she felt even more distressed.
"An Ning, aunt hasn't seen you for a long time. How are you lately?"
Zuo Anning met Mrs. Qiao's gentle gaze, and all the anxiety and uneasiness she had before coming completely disappeared at this moment.
Sure enough, she was too petty, but her aunt still treated her well as always.
Thinking of this, Zuo Anning felt warm in her heart and said with a smile, "Aunt, everything is fine with An Ning."
"An Ning wants to apologize to you on behalf of her mother for what happened before."
Mrs. Qiao couldn't help showing anger when she heard this, "An Ning, this matter has nothing to do with you. You can't be separated from your aunt because of this."
Zuo Anning quickly shook her head, "Aunt, how could it be possible?"
"Besides, my mother can't lose face and apologize to my aunt. Looking at An Ning, she already regrets it! After all, my aunt has always treated my mother so well!"
"This time, An Ning is here to bring good news to aunt."
Having said this, Zuo Anning's face turned slightly red.
"Aunt, you may be adding a nephew or niece soon!"
Qiao Jiaojiao was stunned for a moment, then her eyes widened suddenly.
[Let me go. Is your aunt here? 】
