Chapter 151 Seeing Each Other
Although she was only the wife of a fourth-rank official, she felt that she had a very outstanding son who had passed the imperial examination at a young age. Among her friends and relatives, her son was the most outstanding.
Moreover, her son was born with a good appearance, which was quite popular among some women, so she became arrogant.
A few days ago, the girl her son met was actually a concubine's daughter of the prime minister's mansion. She disliked her status and asked her son to reject her. Later, through someone's introduction, she heard that she was meeting the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Ying's mansion, so she went to find out all her details.
Originally, the daughter of the Duke's Mansion was out of their reach, but after she heard about Lin Yanbang's affair, she didn't care who was right or wrong, she just felt that if this woman had a scandal with a man, her reputation would be ruined. She felt that her son was wronged by the daughter of the Duke's Mansion.
"Madam Wang, I think there is still some gap between the status of your family and our family. I'm afraid it won't work." The Duke's wife suppressed her anger, frowned and said lightly.
As the mistress of a high-ranking family, she naturally couldn't argue with the other party, so she had to refuse in this way. They were a family of fourth-rank officials, and they dared to look down on Jin Yu's bad reputation. How could she feel at ease with such a family?
But who would have thought that Madam Wang would be unhappy after hearing this, and said directly: "Madam, your family is high-ranking, but your daughter's reputation is not good. No one would be willing to marry this noble family. Otherwise, how could the matchmaker bring our two families together? My son doesn't dislike your daughter. If you miss my son, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find a better one. After all, we rejected the daughter of the prime minister."
"Aren't all the daughters of the prime minister's mansion already engaged? Which daughter would meet you? She might be the prime minister's concubine's daughter! I am the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Yingguo, how can you look down on me?" This time, before the Duke's wife could get angry, Pei Jinyu on the side couldn't help but speak up.
She really couldn't stand this woman's arrogance. She agreed to condescend and meet these men who were not as well-off as her, not to come here to suffer humiliation.
"You...you are the eldest daughter of the Duke's Mansion, but you are so uneducated? You are so bossy when talking to your elders?" Mrs. Wang became angry and embarrassed after being exposed by Pei Jinyu.
Isn't this Xiangfu's concubine's daughter also a Xiangfu's daughter? Now, her son came to see the Duke's daughter who had already lost her reputation, which meant that he had already lowered his posture.
"As for education, that depends on who you are talking to. What kind of education do I need for an uneducated person? Since you think the daughter of the prime minister is not worthy of your son, then let your son marry the princess!" Pei Jinyu said bluntly.
The Duke's wife did not stop him, because she also disliked Madam Wang. In the end, Madam Wang had no choice but to leave with her son in a huff.
"Mother, I don't want to see you anymore. Please tell the people behind us not to come!" Pei Jinyu said to the Duke's wife in a somewhat decadent tone.
Although she was happy to be scolded, she still felt a little uncomfortable. It was just the beginning, and she had already encountered a strange person. She didn't know what would happen next. Today, the Duke's wife arranged four or five young masters for her, and she could meet one every hour.
The Duke's wife looked at her daughter helplessly and said, "But, we have already made an appointment. It would be bad to stand someone up at the last minute. This first one is not good, but maybe the next one will be better?"
So, Pei Jinyu was comforted for a while and had to agree to continue dating. Fortunately, when she met the third man, she finally met a normal one.
The man is the second son of the Yongning Marquisate. Although the Yongning Marquisate no longer has the glory it once had and cannot compare with the glory and power of the Yingguo Marquisate, fortunately the foundation is still there.
The second young master is now sixteen years old and has just passed the imperial examination and ranked relatively high. In a few years, it is very likely that he will pass the imperial examination.
He was courteous and gentle in his interactions with Pei Jinyu, and never mentioned anything about outsiders. The wife of Marquis Yongning was also very kind and full of praise for Pei Jinyu.
The Duke's wife was very satisfied with this. Seeing this, she pulled the wife of the Marquis of Yongning and said, "Today is the first time they meet, so let them talk more. Let's see if they get along well. Let's go to the side and have a look. Let the maid and the servant follow us. We'll come back to find them later."
The wife of the Marquis of Yongning was also happy to see this happen and said with a smile: "Okay! Yu'er, you take good care of Miss Pei. If anything goes wrong, mother will not forgive you later."
After saying this, she gave her son another serious instruction.
The Duke's wife was very impressed by the attitude of the Yongning Marquis' wife, and the two of them smiled and went to another place. Pei Jinyu was left sitting with the two young masters, and Pei Jinyu was quite embarrassed about this.
Although she is usually lively and never shy about anything, she still feels a little uncomfortable dating alone with a man in this kind of blind date situation.
The second young master saw Pei Jinyu's embarrassment and said with a warm smile: "Miss Pei, why don't we go for a walk too! The scenery of this flower mountain is not bad. I heard that there are many beautiful and rare flowers over there."
"Okay!" Pei Jinyu was feeling awkward right now, so it would be nice to go for a walk.
Along the way, the second young master was polite and courteous, and found some topics to talk to Pei Jinyu. The two chatted in a casual manner, which made Pei Jinyu feel not a bit disgusted.
But she didn't expect that when she was chatting and laughing with the second young master and walked to the other end of the flower mountain to appreciate the flowers, she would suddenly see a handsome young man standing among the flowers.
At this moment, he was standing on the hillside wearing a moon-white robe, holding a jade flute in his hand, playing a slightly sad tune.
"I really didn't expect that this Huashan also arranged musicians to perform. It really adds a different style to this Huashan." The second young master looked at the King of Qin in the distance and couldn't help laughing.
Because the distance was too far and he was not very familiar with the King of Qin, he did not recognize him.
Pei Jinyu, on the other hand, said awkwardly, "Second Young Master, that's not a musician, it seems to be His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin."
"What? Qin... King Qin? Why is he playing the flute here?" The second young master asked in disbelief with a look of surprise on his face.
At this time, King Qin had already put down the jade flute in his hand and slowly walked towards them.
"Jin Yu, so you are here. It was really hard for me to find you." King Qin took the initiative to speak.
The second son was surprised to see the King of Qin being so intimate. He saluted the King of Qin and asked Pei Jinyu, "Miss Pei, you and His Royal Highness the King of Qin, what is this..."
A man takes the initiative to approach a woman. How can such a relationship not cause speculation?
If the King of Qin is really interested in Pei Jinyu, then wouldn't I be competing with the prince for the woman?
