In the princess's mansion.
Lu Baozhu had already dressed up. When she saw Qi Yuning coming over, wearing pomegranate red clothes, she turned around and asked Qi Yuning, "How is it? Does it look good?"
It is undeniable that Lu Baozhu is extremely good-looking. After all, Princess Pingrou and Duke Lu are both recognized as stunningly beautiful.
Qi Yuning nodded and said, "Let's go quickly. Don't keep your Mr. Qingqi waiting."
Lu Baozhu said: "You are talking more and more nicely now, my Mr. Qingqi, hehe."
Qi Yuning: "..."
Qi Yuning and Lu Baozhu got into the carriage and headed straight to the teahouse.
The teahouse on the bank of the Qucun River is very quiet. It has two floors. In the lobby on the first floor, there is a Jiangnan girl playing and singing a ditty. Wu Nong talks softly, and listening to the sound makes people feel numb.
The appointment between Lu Baozhu and Mr. Qingqi was in the Tianzi box on the second floor.
Lu Baozhu walked to the door of Tianzi box, held Qi Yuning's hand tightly and said, "I...I want to go to Gong's room."
Qi Yuning said: "I'll wait for you here. Go and come back quickly. By the way, don't forget to put on the ointment when you come back."
Lu Baozhu returned half a quarter of an hour later.
Lu Baozhu knocked on the box door and heard the word "Enter" said inside. When she entered, she saw a man standing by the window, "Are you Mr. Qingqi? I am Miss Qian."
Qi Yuning saw that the materials on the man's body looked plain, but in fact they were all top-notch materials.
The man slowly turned his head. He was wearing a mask and could not see his face clearly. He could only see his exposed eyes.
When he saw Lu Baozhu, his eyes lit up, and he even took off his mask and said: "Princess Lu, I didn't expect that you and I are so destined to be you! Miss Qian is actually you? You deliberately wrote that ugly handwriting Of?"
Lu Baozhu froze on the spot, looking at Shen Jialin in front of him, and asked with disbelief: "Are you Mr. Qingqi?"
Lu Baozhu didn't know whether to be happy or sad for a moment. The husband she liked the most and the husband she hated the most now were actually the same person.
Shen Jialin nodded and said, "It's me. Thanks to you writing me letters and sending me banknotes, I am now Mr. Qingqi. If I had known Miss Qian was you, I should have met you long ago."
Lu Baozhu wrapped her hand with a handkerchief, and her nervousness disappeared a lot in front of Shen Jialin.
Qi Yuning said to Lu Baozhu, "You guys chat slowly, I'll go outside and listen to music for a while."
Because it was Shen Jialin, Qi Yuning was not worried about Lu Baozhu suffering a loss, but felt that the fate in this world was really wonderful.
The big ones are sometimes quite small.
Qi Yuning found a table in the lobby, sipping tea and listening to a little tune.
In the box.
Lu Baozhu and Shen Jialin looked at each other in silence for a while.
Shen Jialin said to Lu Baozhu: "I heard you said in your letter that you like the Snow Witch the most?"
When talking about the storybook, Lu Baozhu started talking freely, forgetting the embarrassment for a while, and the two of them could be said to be having a great time chatting with each other.
Lu Baozhu didn't feel dry in the mouth while drinking tea.
Shen Jialin looked at Lu Baozhu's bright smile from the side, and the young man's eyes could not hide his admiration at all.
After Lu Baozhu paused, she felt that the room suddenly became quiet. She raised her eyes and met Shen Jialin's eyes. She was a little at a loss for a moment, and then she saw Shen Jialin holding her hand.
Lu Baozhu felt a numbness spread from the back of her hand to the tip of her heart. She took it back but couldn't take it back, so she only dared to lower her head in shame.
Shen Jialin looked at Lu Baozhu and said, "Actually, I have wanted to propose marriage to you for a long time. Now that I know you are Miss Qian, I am determined. I want to marry you. Are you willing?"
Lu Baozhu looked at Shen Jialin in surprise, "But your mother..."
"You don't have to worry about my mother!" Shen Jialin looked straight at Lu Baozhu, "As long as you are willing, I can marry you regardless of my mother."
Qi Yuning noticed in the lobby that it was almost the same time upstairs, and heard Shen Jialin's words as he pushed the door open.
Qi Yuning was slightly surprised. This speed was too fast, right?
Seeing Qi Yuning coming, Lu Baozhu took her hand out of Shen Jialin's hand and said shyly: "My parents make the decision on marriage matters. I obey my father. If my father asks me to marry you, I will marry you." .”
Qi Yuning couldn't help but smile when she recalled that Lu Baozhu had previously told Duke Lu to marry him.
Lu Baozhu ran away from the teahouse shyly.
Qi Yuning sat in front of Shen Jialin and said, "You said you can ignore your mother, how can you ignore her?"
Shen Jialin said: "I don't want to live in Lingzhou anymore. I want to obtain the honor and serve the court. I will obtain the honor and ask to marry Lu Baozhu. Not in the name of the young master of the Shen family, but in the name of Shen Jialin." .
I'm not short of money, I can support Princess Lu! "
Qi Yuning said: "You like Lu Baozhu but think her literary talent is excellent? Her writing is excellent?
Shen Jialin nodded and said: "Yes, I have wanted to marry a talented girl who can write as well as me since I was a child. I have never met her in Lingzhou. When I came to Shengjing City, I didn't expect to be lucky enough to meet a girl who can write well. Well-written and talented Princess Lu."
Qi Yuning said: "Lu Baozhu's handwriting is not good at all. Just now you said that she deliberately wrote ugly words in the letter, but that is not the case. Her handwriting is just as ugly as the letter. The last time you saw it Yongzi is an exception.
Lu Baozhu could only read story books. She would fall asleep reading those books such as Classics and History, which had nothing to do with the word "talent". "
Lu Baozhu didn't see Qi Yuning coming out to find Qi Yuning.
But he didn't expect to hear Qi Yuning's words at the door. He frowned and said, "Qi Yuning, I thought the previous grudges between you and me had been wiped out. You are my good sister-in-law, but you are trying to undermine me behind my back!
Qi Yuning! You are simply a duplicitous and cunning villain, huh! "
Lu Baozhu was so angry that she didn't dare to look at Shen Jialin to see if he would be disappointed in her. He threw up his sleeves and ran away crying.
When Qi Yuning saw Lu Baozhu running away in tears, he was afraid that something might happen to her, so he even asked the maid next to him to follow him.
Qi Yuning looked at Shen Jialin and said: "Marriage is not something that can be settled with just one sentence. You are still young now. It's not like you can get married regardless of your mother. After all, Dasheng puts filial piety first. You have to Entering the court as an official, the word filial piety is increasingly inevitable.
I hope you will think carefully and understand whether you really like Lu Baozhu, or whether you only like the Lu Baozhu in your imagination.
And Lu Baozhu is a very good girl. I have been against her for ten years, but I have never been able to dislike her. She is a simple, kind and good girl who has clear feelings about love and hate. She deserves the best in the world. Mr. Lang! "
After Qi Yuning finished speaking, he stood up and saw Lu Ze as soon as he walked out of the box door.
"Why are you here? Shouldn't you be riding horses with Lingling?"
Lu Ze said: "Big brother and Zhong Ding are riding horses with Lingling and the others, so I won't go. I just happened to accompany you to meet guests. I never thought that your business would be selling pearls."
Qi Yuning sighed to Lu Ze and said, "She was shy before and was afraid that you would know, so I hid it from you. She was finally willing to confide in me, but I spoke ill of her to the person she loved behind her back. Now I’m afraid you’ll hate me to death.”
But Qi Yuning couldn't help but watch Shen Jialin misunderstand Lu Baozhu. When the time came to get engaged, he realized that Lu Baozhu was not as talented as he thought, with excellent calligraphy. If he broke off the engagement then, it would be the biggest harm to Lu Baozhu. .
Lu Ze said: "Let's go back to the house first."
