Chapter 29
Su Yinyin ate in silence, she didn't expect this either.
This matter was handed over to Su Xian who was at school, so when he went to school the next day, he subconsciously looked at his classmate Huang.
Mr. Huang is 21 years old this year. He is a fellow townsman of the Jinshi scholar. His family is a farmer and is very poor.
Because of his good talent, he was brought to the capital by a Jinshi scholar to do some chores for his family and at the same time exempted from tuition fees.
Huang Xiucai really worked hard. Even though the test questions were so difficult this year, he still passed.
Even more fortunately, he could still study under the Master. After all, the Master was a Jinshi and could still teach him for a long time.
The twelve-year-old Su Xian was doing this kind of task for the first time and looked at Huang Xiucai frequently.
The Jinshi master took a look and praised him: "Not bad, when you see a virtuous person, you should learn from him. You should learn more from Huang Xiucai."
Su Xian scratched his head, and when he had time, he told Huang Xiucai about this matter with embarrassment, and finally emphasized: "Just to say, if it doesn't work, it's nothing. My father's colleague saw you last night, so he asked casually."
Huang Xiucai was also dumbfounded.
Ever since he passed the imperial examination and became a scholar, many people have proposed marriage to him.
Many people, both from my hometown and from the Master's side, came to ask for favors.
But he never expected that Su Xian, a usually silent child, would bring up this matter.
Although Huang Xiucai thought it was funny, he said, "I have to report this to the teacher first. I am staying at your house, so I must tell you."
Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, you must let the Master know. This is proper etiquette.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, the teacher's first reaction was: "Did Su Xian tell you about this? Or did his sister see you first, and then the girl's parents came up with the idea?"
Mr. Huang was confused. He didn't understand what the teacher was saying.
The Jinshi scholar looked at his fellow townsmen and younger generations.
This child only knows how to study. Doesn’t he know how to find out what’s happening outside?
The others are fine.
If it is what Su Xian’s sister Su Yinyin said, then it is worth taking a look.
Even he knew that Su Yinyin was nicknamed Little Matchmaker and all the couples she matched were very good.
After hearing the whole story, Mr. Huang even felt that the Master was a little ridiculous?
It’s not that he is disrespectful to his teachers, but the reason is too weird.
Having said that, he still listened to his teacher and wrote a letter about his situation and handed it to the Su family.
This is to explain his own family background.
Although Huang Xiucai knew that the other party was the deputy envoy of the Military Department and his family seemed to be somewhat respectable, he still wrote the situation truthfully.
There are six people in his family. His parents, brother and sister-in-law are farmers, and his sister is about to get married. The family is not well off.
He also wrote about his own situation, saying that his ranking in the scholar competition was not high this time, and included his ranking and age to sound realistic.
Showing the letter to the Su family means showing it to the Wei family as well.
Su Yinyin had only heard of people embellishing their qualifications when going on blind dates, but this was the first time someone had written so truthfully and in such detail.
This alone makes me better than many people.
Madam Su and Madam Wei thought the same way.
Especially Madam Wei, after what happened in her mother's family, she no longer cares about family background, she only wants the other party to be an honest person.
"How about meeting him?"
There are many flower shows and garden tours in February and March, so let’s meet each other first.
Madam Wei acted quickly, asked about the private school's break time, and arranged to "meet by chance" during an outing in the garden on the third day of March.
In the past two years, as soon as spring comes, many gardens in the suburbs of Beijing are open to tourists for viewing. Depending on the size of the garden, the price per person ranges from two to ten copper coins.
Men, women, young and old in Bianjing would take the opportunity to go out for an outing and enjoy the flowers.
It would be perfect to hold it at a garden party.
"Yin Yin, go too. Bring our blessed baby along. It will be a good opportunity to tie the knot."
Madam Wei took her daughter out for the trip.
Huang Xiucai took the Su brothers and sisters to the same garden.
When the time comes, Yin Yin will be there, and it would be just right for her to go and say hello to Madam Wei and her daughter.
Such a "difficult" task can only be undertaken by Little Matchmaker.
On the third day of March, the only difference was that there were two more little kids around Huang Xiucai.
One of them is Sun Dongjun from the sauce shop. When he saw his boss was going out for an outing, he wanted to follow him.
Actually, I just want to go out and play.
The other one was Li Ruiyuan with a cold face. He had made arrangements in advance and did not follow suddenly.
Huang Xiucai felt like he was the captain of a team of dolls.
But now that I have accepted the order, I will definitely take good care of the children.
Madam Su watched and almost closed the shop, and followed them.
Huang Xiucai said, "Aunt, it's okay. I often take care of my nephews and nieces at home. These children are well-behaved and we can take care of them."
Huang Xiucai had a person of the same age with him, who was his married cousin, and he went with them to help look for the bride.
Two adults with four kids, no problem at all.
Not to mention that among these children, Su Xian is calm and Yin Yin is well-behaved.
The cold-faced kid Yuan Rui is more stable, and he has servants following him, so he will definitely be fine.
Only the neighbor's Sun Dongjun, who was drooling at the candy, looked silly and needed some attention.
A group of six people rode in a carriage towards the northern suburbs.
Although they set out early, there were already many carriages on the road, all carrying young men and women out for an outing.
Su Yinyin looked out the window and said in surprise, "There are so many kites."
Yuan Rui, who rarely squeezed into a carriage with so many people, leaned closer to the baby and said, "Do you want to play?"
Su Yinyin nodded: "Next time."
I didn't bring a kite this time.
She wants to buy a nice kite to play with.
When we arrived at the northern suburbs, we saw green grass all over the ground, the fragrance of flowers everywhere, and the green water and green mountains were refreshing.
The garden that Madam Wei chose was of medium size, and an adult could afford five copper coins, while a child could afford two coins.
Huang Xiucai took the initiative to pay for everyone's money. It was not because he was being generous, but because these people came because of him and he didn't want to let them spend money.
He just needs to copy more books to earn back the money.
The Su brothers and sisters also had money in their pockets. Seeing that they were a step late, they bought some food nearby and shared it with everyone to cover the expenses.
When he arrived at the garden gate, Li Ruiyuan looked elsewhere.
"Yuan Rui, what's wrong?" Su Yinyin asked curiously.
Seeing that there were many people around, Su Yinyin took the initiative to pull Yuan Rui's sleeve and said, "Let's not get separated."
Li Ruiyuan looked at the baby's little hand, hummed, and said, "Wait for the kite."
Kite?
"I've bought the kites. Master, what do you think of this one?" Li Ruiyuan's servant walked over quickly, holding several kites in his hands.
This was the biggest and best kite he could buy!
One of the butterfly kites was as big as Su Yinyin herself, and the colorful decorations on it were really eye-catching.
The rest are equally beautiful and about the same size, but when it comes to eye-catchingness, the butterfly kite is the most beautiful.
Li Ruiyuan took the butterfly kite and handed it to Su Yinyin.
The other kites were distributed among everyone by the servants.
Sun Dongjun's eyes sparkled. He took a big step forward, clasped his hands together, and then pulled Su Yinyin's sleeve: "Boss, it's right to follow you!"
There is food, drinks and kites.
What a beautiful day!
Li Ruiyuan frowned and slapped the other person's fat hand away, asking, "What are you touching?"
Sun Dongjun was not angry and played with the kite happily.
Li Ruiyuan's servants found it funny and helped to look after all the children.
But with Huang Xiucai around, there seems to be nothing to worry too much.
Just as he said, he had experience in taking care of children. Although they were just visiting a park, he was able to take good care of each one and made sure all the children were there before taking everyone into the park.
The Wei family mother and daughter, who were not far away, had already seen their group and were secretly observing them from the carriage.
Huang Xiucai was neither humble nor arrogant, and he took care of the children naturally. Apart from being a little stiff, everything else was fine.
Madam Wei looked at her daughter and said, "Lan Shuang, he is Mr. Huang."
That brand new blue collar cannot be fake.
The young woman called Lan Shuang was very embarrassed. She looked from a distance and only saw clothes. She couldn't see clearly. She only knew that everyone in the group was holding a kite.
"It's okay, we'll talk about it when we meet later."
Anyway, you always run into it.
Madam Wei carried a light food box filled with fresh fruits and snacks so that she could keep the children and let her daughter meet Mr. Huang.
Madam Wei gave her daughter's marriage a very thorough consideration.
Unfortunately, plans cannot keep up with changes.
When she entered the yard, Madam Wei was dumbfounded.
It looks okay from the outside, but there are too many people inside!
It's so crowded, no one comes to see the flowers or the scenery, but to see the people.
What's wrong with this garden owner? He knows there are many people in the garden, but he still lets people in.
He is really a dishonest businessman.
The originally winding and secluded path is now crowded with tourists, so there is no longer any tranquility at all.
Madam Wei and Lan Shuang walked carefully and finally reached a wide area, but before they knew it a group of people came over and their food boxes were almost squeezed away.
Madam Wei had just secured the food box when her daughter disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Lan Shuang didn't pay attention to anything else. She just thought her mother was beside her. She pointed at Chunhua and said, "Mom, look at that flower. It's blooming so beautifully. I can even smell its fragrance."
After that, someone else also praised: "The late sun makes the mountains and rivers beautiful, and the spring breeze makes the flowers and plants fragrant."
Lan Shuang paused.
When she praises the fragrance of a flower, she will only say that it is blooming beautifully and that she smells the fragrance.
But this person used poetry.
The contrast is a bit too obvious.
Lan Shuang looked to the side and saw a young man with sincere eyes, full of approval of the spring scenery, holding a child in his hands.
The spring scenery is beautiful, but in such a messy environment, how can you concentrate on appreciating it?
Lan Shuang looked at him again, wearing a brand new blue robe, and felt nervous.
Fortunately, there is no kite in my hand.
Probably not the person she wanted to see.
Hearing her mother calling her name, Lan Shuang hurried to look for him. When she turned back, the scholar who had recited the poem had disappeared.
Huang Xiucai did not stay too long. After looking at Chunhua, he immediately went to look after the children.
These children were basically never out of his sight.
The others were fine, only Sun Dongjun needed him to hold his hand, so both of their kites were in his cousin's hands.
Now they were in a slightly more spacious place, and Sun Dongjun said quickly, "Kite, I want to play with a kite."
Huang Xiucai took the kite from the two and said to the child, "Let's play outside the garden. There are too many people here."
Su Yinyin is almost wilting.
She is small, and from her perspective, there are people everywhere. Not to mention flowers, even grass can only be seen through the gaps in the crowd.
Su Yinyin leaned on Yuan Rui and sighed, "This garden is so noisy."
Forget about flying a kite, you can't even enjoy the scenery.
Li Ruiyuan's body stiffened, and he said subconsciously: "Why not go to another place? There is a garden very close to here, where you can not only fly kites, but also ride horses."
Li Ruiyuan thought that this place was very close to the garden of Prince Ning’s family. The baby had been to that garden before and must have liked it.
"Then let's find Aunt Wei and the others, and then change places?" Su Yinyin was surprised.
Fly a kite!
horse riding!
She wants to go.
But how do I find someone?
There are too many people here.
Su Yinyin pulled Huang Xiucai's sleeve and pointed at herself: "Can you pick me up and lift me higher?"
What is this for?
Although Huang Xiucai didn't understand, he still did as he was told.
For such a cute little baby, I really can't refuse any request from her.
The next second, Huang Xiucai knew what regret was.
All I heard was the little kid making trumpet shapes with his hands and shouting in a very loud voice: "Aunt Wei! I'm here!"
"Aunt Wei! Come and see me!"
Not to mention Aunt Wei, everyone nearby looked over.
Huang Xiucai had never been stared at by so many people at the same time, and his face turned red.
Why is this method?
Huang Xiucai, who didn't know what social death meant, experienced what real social death was in public!
Isn’t this method too simple and crude?
Huang Xiucai was so shy and shocked that he didn't even realize that he could put the baby down. It was not until Wei Niangzi and her daughter really came that he realized how stupid he was.
It is so disgraceful and really damages the dignity of scholars.
Madam Wei thought this method was good.
As for whether it is an accidental encounter or not, this is also a kind of accidental encounter.
There are so many people here, they are all the same anyway.
Lan Shuang looked at Huang Xiucai whose face was flushed.
This is the scholar who just recited the poem.
What a coincidence.
