Chapter 65 I already have someone I like

"Really? Whose girl is she?" Yuan Yuhe was both surprised and delighted. In the past, she would have no objection if she thought a photo was good, but this was the first time she heard him say that he liked someone else.

Mingzhao sighed and said dejectedly, "But she doesn't like me. I confessed my feelings to her, but she rejected me. She's even been seeing someone else recently."

"This..." Yuan Yuhe was speechless for a moment. He was excellent in both appearance and ability, so how could there be a girl who rejected him?

"Why did she reject you?"

"She said we weren't a good match and she didn't dare marry someone above her station. She only wanted to find someone of similar social status."

Yuan Yuhe had never seen her son like this before. She felt a little distressed and thought for a moment before asking, "Did you meet this girl in Shouzhou?"

It's okay if the family background is lower. He said he likes her, as long as she is polite and reasonable. Zhao Huan has been fighting bandits recently, so if he wants to meet a girl, he can only meet her in Shouzhou.

Even if her son, who had always been easy to take care of, asked her for something for the first time, she would not be a cruel mother. Even if he was still bad, she would teach him with all her heart.

"She has no father or mother. She is an orphan."

"And an orphan?" Yuan Yuhe couldn't help but widen her eyes. This wasn't just a low family background, it was simply no family background at all.

"Yes, but she has relatives who adopted her." Mingzhao coughed softly, "Mother, if I want to marry her, would you agree?"

Yuan Yuhe looked at him with a hint of resentment, "Can I, your mother, break up this couple?"

"Lin'er, I can't help it. The engagement between your grandfather and the old Duke of Fuguo was originally for you, but considering other things, it didn't work out and fell on her. I also took him to see your brother and he agreed. I then went to propose the marriage after he agreed."

"Mother is naturally an open-minded and loving mother." Mingzhao curled his lips, "But my sister told me that you value family background."

Yuan Yuhe snorted, "You don't have anyone you like. If I were to choose one for you, would I have to find one that's comparable to our family's? Do I have to look for one in the homes of those insignificant officials?"

"Since you said you like it, how can I not fulfill your wish?"

After all, their family is already high-class, so marrying a noble lady is just icing on the cake.

"But I have to meet the person first. If I don't think it's good after meeting the person, I will still have an opinion."

"Of course, but mother will like her." Mingzhao breathed a sigh of relief.

Yuan Yuhe pulled the conversation back, "You haven't told me where that girl is from yet."

Mingzhao smiled, and the fatigue on his face seemed to have lessened. "You know my mother too. She lives in our house. You praised her to me before."

"What?" Yuan Yuhe was a little confused. When she came to her senses, she patted his shoulder and scolded him, "You stupid kid, you're playing tricks on me, your mother!"

Although he was slapped, Mingzhao was still happy in his heart. His brows and eyes were relaxed, as if he was looking at the bright morning scenery.

I've already gotten through to my mother's place, so it shouldn't be difficult to get through to my grandmother's place. The only thing left is to get through to my cousin Li.

"What are you laughing at? You said Li'er doesn't like you. She is very determined and will not change her mind easily once she makes up her mind." Yuan Yuhe said to him sideways, "Your second aunt took her out to see a date today."

"Li'er really doesn't want to marry someone above her station. Your second aunt didn't even bother looking for a husband for Li'er. She didn't even intend to let her marry into the family."

"I've also heard of that young man from the Yu family. He's handsome and intelligent since childhood. He even won the top three places in the imperial examinations. The Jining Marquisate also values ​​him very much. He has a bright future ahead of him. He's indeed a good candidate for a husband."

"Aren't you afraid that Li'er will fall in love with him?"

Mingzhao suppressed his smile and said, "Mother, please stop poking my heart. How come you are just like father?"

"It's his time." Ming Weisu, who had been silent the whole time, said, "Don't worry about him. Let him deal with it himself. Let's have breakfast."

Yuan Yuhe looked at him, "You know?"

"I went to see my second brother yesterday, and when I came back I saw him hurriedly heading towards the West Mansion..."

After hearing this, Yuan Yuhe waved her hand in disdain, "I don't care about you anymore. Whether you will have a wife in the future depends on whether you fight for it or not."

As he got older, he loved watching young people playing and fighting, and Yuan Yuhe enjoyed watching the show.

Ming Zhaohuan: "..."

He finished his breakfast in silence and returned to Langgan Courtyard.

Tianyu came back soon after, "Sir, I have found out..."

…

At the villa, Shi Jianli and Yu Wenye were walking side by side.

When he met the man, Yu Wenye thought he was even more handsome than what he saw in the painting. He was wearing a scholar's round-necked robe and had a tall and slender figure. However, he looked taciturn, as if he had something on his mind and was worried.

The summer in the villa is more eye-catching than the summer in the capital, with thick green trees, gurgling springs, and reflections of buildings, creating a unique and beautiful scene.

After walking for a while, Yu Wenye remained silent, so Shi Jianli had no choice but to speak first: "Mr. Yu's name is Wenye, but is it taken from the poem "Heming" in the Book of Songs?"

"Yes, I have a famous cousin named Heming, you should know him, young lady." Yu Wenye responded after hearing this.

Shi Jianli smiled faintly and replied, "I do know Prince Yu."

Yu Wenye glanced at the small pavilion high above, then looked away. He then stood still and said to Shi Jianli, "Miss Shi, I have an eldest son, born to my beloved."

Shi Jianli was surprised and didn't say anything for a while.

Yu Wenye continued, "She is my concubine, and we have a deep bond. I love her dearly and want to marry her, so I dare not deceive her or delay her."

"If I lie to you, it would be unfaithful to the one I love, and it would also be disrespectful and disrespectful to you."

"Today's meeting is because my mother threatened to die, forcing me to marry a wife who can help me. My mother didn't ask me, but she made an appointment with Madam Ming first, so I had no choice but to come."

"Miss Shi, can we please end this meeting now?"

Shi Jianli was silent for a moment, then finally said, "The crane's cry in the Nine Marshes is heard throughout the fields. Master Yu has a good name, so I'll borrow yours as well. I wish you great ambitions and a great reputation."

"Furthermore, I wish that Mr. Yu and his beloved will be together forever and live in love until old age."

"Thank you." Yu Wenye bowed to her solemnly as a scholar, with a smile on his face.

After talking it out, the two of them stopped shopping and went back to their elders' place.

Seeing her coming up, Qiao Ruoying handed her a cup of tea and asked, "Are you thirsty?"

"Some, thank you, aunt." Shi Jianli smiled and sat down beside her, answering Mrs. Yu's questions from time to time, appropriately and distantly.

Seeing her attitude, Qiao Ruoying no longer asked Yu Wenye anything and just treated it as a visit to enjoy the scenery.

Around noon, the two families dispersed, and Qiao Ruoying took her niece into the carriage.

Shi Jianli was eating pastries to fill his stomach.

Qiao Ruoying asked, "Don't you like it?"

"Aunt, Master Yu said that he has an eldest son, who was born to his concubine and sweetheart." Shi Jianli swallowed the pastry and said slowly.

Qiao Ruoying was furious. "What a Yu family, what a Yu Liu! They're trying to trick you into becoming a mother! No wonder they offered the portrait to me!"

Shi Jianli continued, "Master Yu also said that he would marry his concubine. This meeting was forced by his mother. She made an appointment with you without his knowledge. His mother even threatened to commit suicide, so he had no choice but to come."

"Hmph, Yu Wenye still has some conscience and didn't listen to his mother." Qiao Ruoying's face still looked a little bad.

Yu Liu kept the secret very secret and not a single word of it leaked out.
