"Whose son is this?"
"There's no young man with such a temperament in Huayang County. I think he's a young man with a close relationship with the Princess's Mansion."
"That must be a powerful young man from the capital."
"I wonder if he has a wife?"
Although the girls' voices were low, Baili Xuanlang heard them clearly and couldn't help but curl his lips. They were quite discerning.
He is the third prince of Xirong? Naturally, he is a powerful and noble son.
"May I know your name, sir?" A bold girl came forward and started a conversation.
Baili Xuanlang just looked at the bold girl with a cold face, then walked past her towards Xu Yulan.
Xiao Xier turned her head and saw Baili Xuanlang, her eyes lit up. He was the most handsome among all the young men.
He quickly reached out and pulled Xu Yulan's head to the right.
When their eyes met, Xu Yulan frowned slightly. Was he here to ask for a lucky draw too?
"Sister Yulan, I think this young man is a good person. He is handsome and a martial artist. He can be my brother-in-law and protect you."
Xu Yulan was startled by Xiao Xier's sudden words.
He quickly covered Xiao Xier's mouth and said, "Don't you know him? He is your eldest brother's uncle. Don't talk nonsense about him being your brother-in-law!"
"He is the eldest brother's uncle?"
Xiao Xier remembered that they had had lunch together yesterday afternoon.
Baili Xuanlang walked straight up to the two of them and said, "Xiao Xi'er, come to your uncle's arms quickly. Your sister Yulan will be tired after holding you for so long."
uncle?
It turns out to be the princess’s younger brother!
The girls were delighted to hear this. They had guessed right. He was a young man from a noble family in the capital.
"I'm not tired." After saying that, Xu Yulan held Xiao Xier and sat on a chair covered with a thick woolen cushion. In front of them was a small eight-immortal table with a charcoal stove on it.
The Princess's Mansion was well prepared, and all the young men and women who came to the plum blossom forest to seek good fortune could sit around the fire and drink tea.
Baili Xuanlang sat down on the right side of Xu Yulan and poured a cup of hot tea for them.
"Xiao Xi'er, have a cup of hot tea to warm yourself up."
"Thank you, uncle!"
"Miss Xu, I apologize for offending you last time. I will offer you tea instead of wine to make amends."
Xu Yulan glanced at him sideways. The man had sharp eyebrows and a pair of charming peach blossom eyes. He glanced at the girls around him.
Most of them were peeking at him!
He is really popular with girls.
Xu Yulan picked up the teacup and said softly, "You already apologized yesterday. Let's not talk about this matter anymore. You are An'er's uncle. An'er calls me sister. I will offer you a cup of tea instead of wine."
What?
She actually called him uncle!
How could he have such a big niece? !
"Miss Xu, I don't have a niece as old as you. You are more suitable to be my sister. I will drink this cup of tea as a gift from you, my sister."
Baili Xuanlang felt inexplicably angry and had to drink several cups of tea before he calmed down.
Xu Yulan pretended not to see it. An Ge'er's true identity must be extraordinary. His uncle was not something a merchant girl like her could dream of!
Baili Qingluan walked over with Su Ning'an, and after seeing this scene, he finally understood what was going on.
Is Langlang interested in Miss Xu?
It seems that Miss Xu has no interest in her.
Tsk tsk tsk, does she want some help?
"Congratulations, Second Young Master of the Wang Family! It's the character 'fire'. This is your plum blossom buckle. Keep it."
Su Ningwen reiterated to everyone: "As long as you guess and answer correctly, you will receive a plum blossom buckle. Whoever has the most plum blossom buckles will be the winner of today's plum blossom viewing banquet. Let's continue..."
Meng Zihe saw Lu Yao coming over, then he walked forward to guess the riddle.
"Congratulations, Second Young Master Meng, you guessed it right..."
"Congratulations again, Second Young Master Meng. You guessed it right again..."
"Miss, the second son of the Meng family is the champion of the Jieyuan. Guessing riddles is not difficult for him at all. He now has many plum blossom buckles. I guess he is the winner today."
Seeing him answering fluently, Lu Yao thought that since Wen Ge'er could read ten lines at a glance, Meng Zihe must be as smart as Wen Ge'er. "You're right, today's prize is his."
Nuan Yu thought of something and said, "Miss, Mr. Meng Er hasn't married yet. Many girls of marriageable age have come here today. I guess the matchmaker will come to propose marriage to him after today."
Lu Yao glanced at the young ladies who were dressed up beautifully.
Most people would occasionally glance at the man sitting at Xiao Xier's table, while another group turned their attention to Meng Zihe, and a small group of young men and women were discussing poetry and songs in low voices.
Lu Yao inadvertently noticed that several young men were looking at her. When she looked over, they quickly turned their faces away, leaving only a slightly red side profile for her to see.
Lu Yao was a little surprised to see this. Why were they like Meng Zihe, blushing after seeing her? So she whispered to Nuan Yu about it.
Nuan Yu smiled upon hearing this and whispered, "The saints say not to speak or see what is not proper. The reason they behave this way is because they like you and are interested in you. They can't help but want to see you, but they are hampered by the saints' teachings and worldly etiquette, so they behave this way."
"If a young lady is interested in a certain gentleman, she will not be able to help but peek at him. If this gentleman finds out, you will behave in the same way."
It turns out that Meng Zihe has liked her for a long time...
"Among the young men who came today, are there any that caught your eye?"
"Nuanyu, don't talk nonsense. I'm still young." Lu Yao stroked his forehead.
"You are not young anymore. You have reached marriage age. You will get married sooner or later. You should also consider this matter."
Lu Yao felt that she really needed to think about this matter carefully. She picked up the teacup and used the tea to cover her eyes while carefully looking at all the young men present.
She basically didn't know any of them and wasn't familiar with their personalities.
She would rather not understand or like those young men who were interested in her.
I only understand the Meng family. If you really want to get married, you can consider Meng Zihe.
She didn't know whether she liked Meng Zihe or not, but she didn't dislike him at all.
Wen Ge'er is a filial and grateful child. Meng Zihe is his uncle, so he must be a bad person.
Meng Zihe is indeed a suitable candidate for marriage.
Nuan Yu asked, "How is it? Is there a young man you like?"
Lu Yao said, "There is a young man. I just found out today that he has liked me for a long time."
"What? Who is it?" Nuanyu excitedly glanced at the young masters.
"Nuanyu, calm down. I don't know if I will like him yet. Once I do, we can consider getting married."
She doesn't understand love yet!
"Then how long will it take for you to like him? What if you fall in love with him and he marries someone else?"
"That just means we're not suitable."
Lu Yao thought that he would go to Beijing to take the imperial examination next year. The female teacher told her that many students who went to Beijing to take the imperial examination would be captured and made sons-in-law once they passed.
Meng Zihe is good-looking and is also the top scorer in the provincial examination. Once he arrives in Beijing, he will be targeted.
"We are definitely not destined to be together. Let's not talk about it anymore. I don't want to get married yet. I still have to learn the piano and I'm very busy."
