Liu Miaoqing spoke, looking at Mu Huai intently, and the latter could only stop.

Some people around who had good eyesight dispersed, but they were still wondering who this person was and why they had never seen him before. But since he could come to Jingyuan, he couldn't be an ordinary person.

Meeting Liu Miaoqing's gaze, Mu Huai subconsciously tried to avoid it, and his ears felt a little hot.

"My name is Mu Huai, and my father is Mu Zheng, the Minister of War."

There were voices everywhere. It turned out to be the Mu family. Minister Mu had many sons, and they recognized the first few. They heard that the youngest one didn't like to go out and was happy to fiddle with flowers and plants in the house. So it was this one. Why did he go out today?

Liu Miaoqing nodded and walked over. "Master Mu, are you here to write poems and appreciate paintings today as well?"

Her eyes fell on Mu Huai's surroundings. The young man came empty-handed, without any paper or pen. It was obvious that he did not come here to write poetry. There were no paintings hanging here, and he did not come here to appreciate paintings.

Mu Huai gritted his teeth and replied, "Yes."

When his eyes fell on the beautiful woman's fair neck, he hurriedly lowered his gaze, fearing that he might offend her.

Liu Miaoqing glanced at him twice, didn't say anything to him, looked around, and left.

You made an appointment with Mu Huai in the wing room of Dongyue Tower. Minister Mu arrived very early, but you didn't expect that Ji Fen arrived even earlier than you.

The restaurant staff were very slow in serving the dishes, and Minister Mu also asked me why I suddenly asked him to come out. When the servant came to pass the message, you were a little surprised. After all, I was just going out on my own, so why did I have to go through so much trouble to pass the message?

Bookboy: "I just heard someone say that the elder's surname seems to be Liu."

I walked into the house without putting down the pen in my hand, and the servant hurriedly followed me.

"Sir, please go and take a look. The people who proposed marriage are outside the hall, and the master and mistress have asked people to return the betrothal gifts!"

There are few young men and women in the mansion. The young man's mother died early, and he is alone. He is always quarrelsome and high-profile in his daily life. The master and his mistress only remember that there is such a person when they are looking for a date with a lower-class family.

Now, there is no intention to use the young master's marriage to make room for the master's future.

On this day, when I was passing by the yard on my way to a poetry reading, I heard the servant boy next to myna say that Miss Liu would also go.

The servant boy remained calm, thinking that the master and mistress meant that they should accept the marriage.

Mu Huai's heart also began to lift. His father was not yet the Minister of the court. The Liu family that I could respect with all my heart was probably the only one in the capital.

Seeing the reaction of the people behind him, Minister Mu smiled and teased me again. He hurriedly explained, "In the last few years in Jingyuan, he spoke for you this time. Remember this time."

"Has he been waiting long?"

But the servant boy didn't move either. He was outside the mansion all day, and he rarely went inside. The one who usually followed the young master inside was another servant boy. How could he know anything about the Liu family or the Wang family? "The big ones didn't move either. I just saw that the master was very respectful to the person who came here. Maybe he is a minor official!"

Mu Huai suddenly tightened his pen, and his tone became more relaxed. "Which Liu family?"

This kind of woman is exactly what I am looking for.

I was actually too suspicious at that time, because Minister Mu had not been to Jingyuan for many years, but he still couldn't help but go there that day. But I didn't expect that you really went there and said something.

Ji Fen was very surprised when that day came. "Who is the one who is proposing marriage?"

Liu Miaoqing had originally only sent out the portraits of several sons of marriageable age from outside the family. She had hoped that her eldest son, who had a good reputation since leaving the palace, would be favored by those outside the palace. However, she had never expected that the Liu family would come to propose marriage.

A few days after the poetry meeting, the Liu family sent someone to go to the Mu Mansion to propose marriage.

After Liu Miaoqing left, Mu Huai stood there, still a little dazed, staring blankly at the other person's leaving figure.

Mu Ba stormed out of the hall angrily, grabbed Mu Huai by the collar and was about to hit him, but was stopped by the master in time, "It was you who proposed marriage to the Liu family! What on earth did he do!"

It is true that if you plant flowers without intention, they will bloom, but if you plant willows with intention, they will grow into shade trees!

The news that the Liu family was looking for a son-in-law had long spread throughout the capital. The most talented man in the capital in the past was now a rising star in the court. My father had no intention of establishing a relationship with the Liu family, and even asked a matchmaker to go to the house and talk to my father about it. The man he was talking about was my father, Bage.

When Liu Miaoqing sent Liu Ze away, Mu Huai was still stunned by the betrothal gifts filling the courtyard. It turned out to be you.

After a round of greetings, the two families officially decided on the marriage. When Liu Miaoqing asked someone to call out her eldest son, Mu Huai was not there yet. When he came back, my face changed.

Mu Huai himself was completely confused, and I also wanted to know why it turned out to be me.

Mu Huai slowly held back and asked, "Why you?"

It was as if the other party's conversation just now was just an illusion.

At that time, rumors were everywhere in the capital, but I was able to refute so few people and protect the reputation of a man I knew.

Ajuan will not marry. Looking at the capital, her conditions are not bad, her appearance is also pretty good, and her future is not bad. If this young man comes into her house, she will definitely treat him wholeheartedly.

The eldest son was really well-behaved and knew to change his clothes. His cuffs were covered in ink and looked really dirty.

Facing Minister Mu, Ji Fen still felt a little uneasy, "It hasn't been long, I just arrived."

I thought so too. The girl was an eighth-rank official in the imperial court, and she had a bad relationship with the crown prince. She had a limited future, so how could she possibly look down on her own illegitimate son?

I came to the Mu family because Liu Ze came personally to propose marriage. I am the only man there is. Although I sometimes agree with men's vision, after choosing for such a long time, I suddenly found one I liked. I must come and see what she is like.

"The husband you want is one who will take care of his wife and love her no matter where or when."

The purpose of coming to the poetry meeting today has been achieved. Since Young Master Mu is interested, I can go to his house and propose marriage without any worries.

A while later, I heard that the Liu family was looking for a son-in-law, so the lady of the mansion found a matchmaker to go to the house and talk to the family about the eighth son, who didn't have much talent. As a result, the family took a liking to him.

Hearing that no one had come to propose marriage, Mu Huai paused in his writing, and the ink flowed down the tip of the pen and spread across the scroll. I calmly pulled up my sleeve to wipe off the ink on the painting, for fear of staining the man in the painting.

Ji Fenwan stared at me and was silent for a moment, "He has an ugly appearance."

Both father and son attach great importance to appearance.

But there are very few people in Beijing who are ugly. I am also unpopular and have no good looks. How can I catch your eye?

I was about to say something when Liu beside me nodded in satisfaction, "He is indeed a handsome man. No wonder your Miaoqing fell in love with him at first sight."

Hearing this, Mu Huai was stunned. How could he have thought that such words would come out of your mouth, just because of your ugly appearance?

Youcheng had never expected that the person being looked at was actually his eldest son. He guessed that the portrait that was being sent back to the palace had been seen by someone.
