In order to avoid being urged to get married, Chen Xiu has moved out of the Chen family and rented a small courtyard for himself.

Living alone is very quiet.

The new emperor has just come to the throne and there are still many troublesome matters to deal with in the court. He has been very busy these past two days.

I finally came back to rest for a while, and the servant came again.

Chen Xiu pretended not to hear and lay down in the rocking chair in the yard with his eyes closed.

The servant did not give up and even started to play the victim.

"Master, I know you are in the house. If you don't go back with me this time, the old lady will definitely not let me go."

Just as Chen Xiu was about to get up, a gentle female voice came from outside the door.

"Who are you from? Why are you standing at my door shouting?"

"Your home?" The servant pointed at the woman, his voice full of joy.

The woman was happy, "If it's not my house, could it be yours? I live alone, don't say you are my servant."

The servant finally reacted.

He thought that this beautiful woman would be the eldest young master's future wife.

From what he said, it seems that this person lives alone in this yard.

He knew that the young master would never come to his senses.

It was all a false joy, and the servant gave an ugly smile.

"Where is the person who used to live here? A man of about 19 years old, tall and strong, with a stern face all day long."

Chen Xiu sat up in the room, his eyes sweeping towards the door like a knife.

What does it mean that he has a stern face all day? Whose servant would say this about his master? The gentle female voice outside the door laughed softly.

When Chen Xiu heard the laughter, the tips of his ears turned red.

Was he being laughed at? The woman outside the door was called Tang Yurong. This courtyard belonged to her. He rented this courtyard by chance, and the two met because of this.

Tang Yurong would come to buy things for the courtyard from time to time. She said that since she rented out the house, she must make sure the tenants feel comfortable living there.

"I don't know. I've never seen a man with a stern face all day long. But I have seen handsome men." Tang Yurong had a smile in her eyes.

The servant nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "Yes, yes, that's him."

"He moved away a while ago." Tang Yurong carried the basket, "I don't know where he went."

"No wonder no one answered my call. I'm so sorry." The servant scratched his head and apologized.

He also wanted to tell this to the old lady, and he didn't know where the eldest young master had moved to.

After the servant left, Tang Yurong knocked on the door.

"Master Chen, it's me. Your servant has left, you can open the door." There was a smile in her voice.

Chen Xiu had been waiting at the door for a long time, and he opened it.

"Boss Tang."

After Tang Yurong went in, Chen Xiu did not close the door, but left it half open.

The two stood in the yard.

Tang Yurong opened the basket and said, "Tingyu Pavilion has released new snacks. Sir Chen, please help me try them to see if they are delicious."

She picked up a heart-shaped dessert, which was pink and tender, like a beating heart.

Chen Xiu took it, their fingertips touched, and a blush crept up to the tips of his ears again.

The smile in Tang Yurong's eyes deepened.

As soon as she entered the room, Chen Xiu's ears turned red. He had a crush on her, but he didn't understand.

It seems that she is the only one who took the initiative.

My dad said, when a man pursues a woman, there’s a mountain between them; when a woman pursues a man, there’s only a layer of gauze between them.

In order to pursue Chen Xiu, she waited until the Chen and Bai families broke off their engagement.

She even bought a number of courtyards on South Street just to be close to Chen Xiu.

The two of them were not familiar with each other, and if she attacked directly, she was afraid of scaring the other person.

Chen Xiu took a small bite and nodded.

"tasty."

In fact, he didn't taste anything at all, his mind was completely on the burning fingertips.

Tang Yurong looked up and said, "It's delicious. I'll make it for you every day, okay?"

"Okay." Chen Xiu answered before realizing something was wrong.

The two looked at each other, and seeing the seriousness in Tang Yurong's eyes, Chen Xiu panicked.

When he arrived at the Ministry of Justice, he was still holding a bite of a pastry in his hand.

He sat in his seat, dazed.

At this moment, he couldn't hear anything.

All I could hear was the sound of my heartbeat and all I could think of was Tang Yurong.

She bought him a quilt, a wardrobe, and many more.

Her every smile and frown lingered in his mind for a long time.

'I'll cook for you every day from now on, okay?'

"Okay." Chen Xiu covered his chest and murmured.

The new Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice was excited and he shook Chen Xiu.

"Minister Chen You, you actually agreed! You agree to my marriage with Sisi." Minister Gao Zuo picked up Chen Xiu and turned him around.

He has been pursuing Sisi, and Sisi finally gave in.

But Sisi said that she would only agree if her eldest brother agreed.

Minister Gao Zuo hugged Chen Xiu and wanted to kiss him.

Chen Xiu held his head with one hand and his face was dark.

"what you do?"

"Brother, I'm just too excited. I'm going to tell Sisi the good news right now."

Minister Gao Zuo wanted to leave, but Chen Xiu stopped him.

"Who said I agreed?" Chen Xiu's face darkened.

Gao Zuoshilang made a bitter face, "So what did you say just now?"

Seeing that Chen Xiu remained silent, he glanced at the pastries that the other party was carefully guarding.

Seeing that the pastry was still heart-shaped, Minister Gao Zuo smiled.

"It turns out that our Right Assistant Minister Chen is really in love. Which girl is he thinking of? He agreed without even hearing what I said clearly."

Chen Xiucai suddenly realized what was going on after being pointed out by Minister Gao Zuo.

"We'll talk about your business later. I'm leaving now."

Chen Xiu took a bite of the pastry into his mouth. This time he could taste the flavor, it was very sweet, so sweet that it went straight to his heart.

He understood.

He likes beautiful women.

And Yurong is also interested in him.

The iron tree does not bloom easily, but once it blooms it is very showy.

For example, Chen Xiu.

After tidying up and picking a handful of wild flowers, he walked towards Tingyu Pavilion with his head held high.

Unexpectedly, Tingyu Pavilion was surrounded by people.

Chen Xiu pulled someone over and asked, "Brother, what's going on? Why are there so many people gathered here?"

"you do not know?"

The eldest brother was puzzled, and then said.

"Boss Tang of Tingyu Pavilion is going to throw a ball to choose a husband. The Tang family not only has Tingyu Pavilion, but he is also the heir of Tang Sect. He can use the Rain of Pear Blossom Needles to make even Wu Hou give in. Who wouldn't want to give it a try after hearing this? Not to mention the inheritance of these hidden weapons, just the industry of Tingyu Pavilion is enough for ordinary people to live on for a lifetime."

Choosing a husband? Chen Xiu was stunned.

When Tang Yurong saw Chen Xiu coming, she threw the hydrangea in her hand into the sky.

Chen Xiu dared not to be stunned any longer. He used his lightness skills to grab the hydrangea with one hand and flipped it in the air.

…

The two got married.

Many years later.

Only then did Chen Xiu realize what his wife had done in order to pursue him.

Even throwing the bouquet was planned.

Chen Xiu asked, "Aren't you afraid that I won't come?"

"I have confidence in myself. I know you will come." Tang Yurong grabbed Chen Xiu's hand and interlocked their fingers.

The setting sun shines on the two of them, and the two shadows on the ground kiss each other tenderly. (End of this chapter)
