Yang House.
Yang Kuan hurriedly walked into the main hall and reported with a deep courtesy: "My lord, Zhou An of the Yixing Zhou family asks to see you" Yang Qi was chatting with his wife Zheng and daughter Yang Xueruo about some homely gossip, and when he heard this, he raised his head and said directly: "Tell him that this official is busy with government affairs, and he can't spare time to see him for the time being, so let him come back another day."
Yang Kuan was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect his master to refuse to see Zhou An.
After all, Zhou Anke represents the Yixing Zhou family, and at the same time, he has just presented a huge gift worth hundreds of thousands of dollars to the Yang Mansion.
But how dare Yang Kuan question Yang Qi's decision, he bowed his head and hurried to reply to Zhou An.
Zheng's slender willow eyebrows like a crescent moon were raised, and he said softly: "Husband, what do you think, Zhou Chang is both talented and good-looking, and he was born in Yixing Zhou, I don't think it's as good."
Yang Xueruo glanced at her mother a little helplessly, Zheng's rejection of Kong Sheng was so strong and indestructible, she really had no way to change anything.
On the contrary, it was her father's attitude towards Kong Sheng's courtesy that made her see hope.
Yang Qi smiled indifferently: "Madam, personally, Zhou Chang's character is really not as good as Kong Sheng, besides, you should understand what your daughter thinks in her heart." ” Zheng frowned: "Marriage is a big event, it's not the parents who are the daughters, you don't want to be confused by the Kong family, I always feel that that kid has ill intentions and is not a good person." ” Yang Xueruo lowered her head, she didn't want to argue with her mother about anything, because arguing was useless, Zheng looked down on Kong Sheng in her heart, and it was useless for her to say that the sky was falling.
Yang Qi got up slowly, his expression calm, and did not continue the topic.
Whether to choose Zhou Chang or Kong Sheng as his son-in-law In fact, he has not yet made a final decision, and he is still weighing and considering.
There are only two things that can be determined: first, Kong Sheng, who is both civil and military, must be used for his own use and become his pawn who will charge into battle for great things; Second, the financial resources of the Yixing Zhou family must also be borrowed.
At the gate of Yang's mansion, Zhou An, who received a polite refusal and did not see a reply, although his heart was full of anger, but he did not dare to show anything on the surface, he bowed down and said: "Thank you big butler, since you have made Lord Jun busy with government affairs, Zhou will come back another day."
Zhou An returned to his carriage, his face gloomy as water.
The delicate car slave was sincerely frightened, lying at his feet, and did not dare to take a breath.
"Let's go, go back to the inn" Zhou An waved his hand, and the driver hurriedly drove away.
But before he got out of the alley where the Yang Mansion was located, he changed his mind again, and a deep voice came out: "Change the route, go to the Rose Workshop" The coachman was stunned for a moment.
His own master thinks that Qinggao never goes to this kind of Fengyue place, although prostitution is a common popular fashion in this era, but Zhou An really doesn't like it.
In the Yang Mansion, Yang Xueruo returned to her own courtyard, strolled in the bamboo forest, and pondered for a long time, before suddenly remembering that Kong Sheng had not really replied to his confession letter that day, and wanted to let Kapok go for a trip, but after thinking about it, she decided to go by herself.
For her future lifelong happiness, the girl has a persistence that ordinary people can't match.
Even if she is forced to marry Zhou Chang in the future, at least for now, she still has to fight hard for this glimmer of hope.
"Cotton Tree, prepare the car, I'm going to see Kong Sheng" Hongmian was taken aback and hesitated: "Miss, it is inappropriate to meet in private, if the adults and Mrs. know, they will definitely be angry." ” Yang Xueruo raised the corners of her mouth and said softly: "Even if Kong Sheng and I don't have a marriage contract, the Yang and Kong families are also in good traffic in the world, can't I see him don't be verbose, go and prepare the car" Hongmian pouted, but still received the order to arrange the servants to prepare the car, and the master and servant left the house from the back door and went straight to the Shunsheng Inn.
When she arrived at the Shunsheng Inn, Yang Xueruo did not get out of the car, and motioned to Hongmian to go to Kong Sheng, that is, to say hello to Kong Sheng first, and the eldest lady of the Yang family wanted to meet him and ask him to make preparations.
But Kapok ran back a few minutes after entering the inn, and lowered his voice a little angrily: "Miss, that little girl of the Kong family is really hateful, what a prodigal son, it is completely his nature to not change his slave Listen to the guy at the inn, he just went out to the Rose Workshop, and it is said that Liu Xinru, the singer of the Rose Workshop, sent someone to invite him to a banquet." ” It's really rare for a singer to take the initiative to invite someone to a banquet.
Yang Xueruo's eyebrows frowned slightly: "Cotton Cotton, you can inquire clearly" "Miss, the soft egg that eats soft rice is not the usual fox spirit surnamed Liu who is infatuated with the rose fang, he goes to the rose fang every day to soak, just to see the willow heart is like a face, and the lustful virtue is known to the whole city" Because of anger, "Kong Xiaolang" has become "a soft egg eating soft rice" in the mouth of the red cotton.
"Miss, it's really a dog can't be changed, a thief like Kong Sheng is extremely shameless, let's stay away from him" Hongmian was indignant, and a girl's family couldn't help but burst into foul language.
In the eyes of the red cotton, his own noble and beautiful young lady Bingqing Yujie favored him so much, but he ran to find one, he really didn't know how to lift, and he was filthy to the extreme Yang Xueruo didn't notice the rude language of the red cotton, but frowned and muttered in her heart: "Does he really like the courtesan of the Rose Workshop, he has always avoided me, is it because of this Liu Xinruo, if I am like this?"
If Yang Xue suffers from gains and losses, she immediately remembered the two poems that Kong Sheng replied to a few days ago, "Once the sea was difficult to water, except for Wushan is not a cloud", her expression was a little gloomy.
If you want to say that Kong Sheng is a simple "pervert", Yang Xueruo categorically does not believe it now; But to say that Kong Sheng fell in love with a courtesan, the past can be explained by connecting the front and back.
And now speaking of it, the former courtesan Liu Xinru disdainfully ignored Kong Sheng's entanglement and did not pretend; But not necessarily now, because Kong Sheng has become the leader of the famous scholars in Jiangnan.
Love talents, this is an eternal romantic story.
Otherwise, Liu Xinru would not have taken the initiative to invite Kong Sheng to the Rose Workshop.
As soon as she thought of this, Yang Xueruo's delicate face changed.
She gritted her teeth and said in a low voice: "Cotton Tree, find a secluded place, I'll wait first, you go to the Rose Square and tell Kong Sheng, just say I want to see him, let him come quickly" Seeing Yang Xueruo like this, Hongmian was a little reluctant, but after all, he still didn't dare to disobey his master's will, and instructed the coachman to find a nearby restaurant, opened a quiet private room, and let Yang Xueruo wait quietly, and then went straight to the rose shop in Yanyun Bayuan with a roar.
If it weren't for the young lady's order, Cotton Tree would definitely not go to the kind of place where men in the city are obsessed with wandering around to hide filth and dirt.
Don't look at her as just a maid from a big family, and don't look at the fact that prostitutes are a kind of scribe in this year, she just resists and looks down on this kind of behavior the most.
On the way, Hongmian was fully mentally prepared, and even made a draft, she wanted to ask Kong Sheng face to face why he didn't know how to lift, with Miss Yang's favor, he dared to entangle with an eyebrow, it was really crazy to be oshow7 t1706231537:
