Because it was dark, he didn't dare walk too fast. He probably groped forward for more than two minutes before he saw light not far to his left.
Zhao Hao hurriedly followed the light. Even if he took the wrong path, it would be good to find someone to ask.
Following the light, Zhao Hao found that it was a small courtyard with only a small house in it.
Candlelight flickered inside the room.
When Zhao Hao saw this, he was immediately delighted and hurriedly took a step forward to go in, but as soon as he lifted his foot, he retracted it before taking a step forward.
"Something doesn't seem right. When I came here just now, I didn't see such a yard here!"
"Where on earth have I come from?"
Zhao Hao scratched his head subconsciously and was speechless.
This old man Shang is really something. He built such a big house but I don’t know what the use is. I get lost even when walking around.
"The yard is so small and looks quite ordinary. It should be where the servants of this mansion live."
"Let's go in and ask. It shouldn't be a big problem."
After taking a quick look, Zhao Hao pondered for a while, nodded secretly, and walked towards the courtyard.
Walking into the yard, Zhao Hao looked inside through the window and was immediately paralyzed.
The window was blocked by paper, and he didn't have X-ray vision, so he definitely couldn't see inside the house.
However, in the candlelight, there was a figure on the window.
A figure who was obviously a young woman was holding a book and reading it.
How can I describe this scene? It feels like a shadow play is happening in front of my eyes.
You were wrong!
This is not a servant's yard at all. It is obviously where the master of the mansion lives.
And they are female relatives.
How could a servant still be reading?
Thinking of this, Zhao Hao suddenly cried out inwardly, "Oh no!" and turned around and walked out of the yard.
However, in his haste, he was caught off guard and tripped over something.
In order to avoid falling, Zhao Hao subconsciously took a big step forward, and the sound of his footsteps landing on the ground naturally could not be controlled.
The sound was quite obvious and was immediately heard by the woman in the room.
"who?"
"Who's outside?"
The woman immediately asked outside. Although Zhao Hao had managed to control his balance, he froze in place the moment the voice rang out.
This is over...
It is impossible to run away. If he runs away quickly, he might be regarded as a thief. If the matter gets out of hand, he will lose face.
Well, you know what, the sound is quite nice, crisp with a hint of maturity.
The age is approximately between 27.6 and 31.5.
It’s so accurate!
Just as he was lying motionless, secretly trying to laugh off his misery, the door slowly opened and a woman appeared at the door.
When the woman saw Zhao Hao, she was surprised for a moment, and then she looked at his clothes carefully. However, she was not afraid.
"Who are you and why are you here?"
Zhao Hao gave a bitter smile, quickly stood up, turned around and bowed to the woman.
The woman also bowed as a return gift.
Because of the backlight, Zhao Hao couldn't see the woman's appearance clearly, so he could only try to speak in a calm voice:
"Miss, you are right. I am Zhao Hao, the son of the Internal Affairs Secretary Zhao Wenxiang. I have come to visit Mr. Shang today because of something."
"It's just that I was in Mr. Shang's study just now, and after I came out, I lost my way. I saw the light here, so I walked over here."
"I wanted to ask about the way out of the house, but I ended up disturbing the girl. Zhao Hao is really guilty."
"I hope the girl won't take it as an offense!"
Hearing this, the woman immediately said, "What? You said, you are Zhao Hao?"
Zhao Hao was stunned for a moment: "Could it be that the young lady has heard of my name?"
Just now, I mentioned my father's name because I was worried that the other party didn't recognize me.
The woman walked towards him slowly, until she was two steps away from him, where the light from the window could shine through.
Only then did Zhao Hao see the other person's appearance clearly.
The woman was wearing a goose yellow shawl and her long hair was draped behind her.
The facial features are bright and three-dimensional.
There is a strong scholarly air between his brows.
However, the whole person is obviously a thin type, which makes her temperament, which should be very mature, appear more delicate and melancholy.
Zhao Hao quickly saluted the other party formally again.
The woman's eyes should have been lively, but now they were filled with deep melancholy.
After carefully examining Zhao Hao for a while, the woman said softly, "I didn't expect it to be Mr. Zhao!"
"My name is Shang Yuchan. I have long heard of Mr. Zhao's great name, but I never expected to see him in this situation today."
This woman was exactly as he had judged before, about twenty-six or twenty-seven years old.
Hearing this, Zhao Hao hurriedly asked: "May I ask what is the relationship between the young lady and Mr. Shang..."
Shang Yuchan said: "It's my father!"
Zhao Hao’s eyes suddenly widened and he took a breath inwardly.
Shang Henshui is at least over seventy years old. Even if the woman in front of him is only twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, it is still outrageous!
Twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, still at home, is this woman not married?
Zhao Hao nodded quickly: "So that's how it is, Miss Yuchan, it was Zhao Hao who was reckless and accidentally broke into your yard. Please don't blame me!"
He didn't know whether the other party was married or not, so he could only call her "girl".
Shang Yuchan shook her head and said, "Sir, you are too polite. It is fate that I am lucky enough to meet you today. Yuchan has long heard from my father that your literary talent is rare in this world."
"It is Yuchan's honor to meet you today, sir."
Zhao Hao quickly shook his head and said, "Miss, you are really overpraising me. Zhao Hao is not talented at all."
Zhao Hao rolled his eyes and said, "Miss Yuchan, could you show me the way? I really am..."
Shang Yuchan couldn't help but smile softly when she heard this, then nodded slightly.
"Okay, wait a moment, sir. I will close the door and then show you the way."
"Please."
Shang Yuchan turned around and walked into the house, came out with a lantern, then closed the door and led Zhao Hao out of the yard.
Shang Yuchan walked in front holding a lantern, and Zhao Hao followed behind.
Looking at the other person's back and smelling the fragrance coming from the other person, Zhao Hao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, there was no trouble.
But how could Old Man Shang have such a beautiful girl?
Really...
It’s too unscientific!
Neither of them spoke.
After walking for a while, Shang Yuchan couldn't help but stop and turned to look at Zhao Hao.
Zhao Hao quickly asked softly, "Miss Yuchan, what's wrong?"
Shang Yuchan said: "Nothing, I'm just curious, why did Mr. Zhao come to see my father today?"
Zhao Hao immediately understood.
This is just making small talk.
"Oh, that's it..."
He had nothing to hide, so he briefly explained to Shang Yuchan the purpose of his visit today.
