The setting sun hung on the sky, shrouding the entire Xibaoxuan in orange.
Zhou Jing'an sat behind the desk handling official business. He sorted out the last document and put it aside. He put down his brush, raised his head and turned his neck.
Through the window beside him, he caught a glimpse of a figure walking into his sight, and he suddenly stood up and chased after him.
Jiang Ling saw him coming and stopped to wait for him. The two of them walked towards Qiyun Pavilion together.
"How is it? Did you find out anything?"
Zhou Jing'an took her hand. This action had become his habit.
After having dinner in the main courtyard, Jiang Ling followed Zhou Huanan to her courtyard.
My original intention was to find out what happened at the flower viewing banquet today.
They all already knew that Chen Yuanzong was fond of her, and Zhou Huanan naturally knew it.
Jiang Ling is her friend and even more so her sister-in-law, ahem, and of course, she has her own gossipy heart, so of course she has to care about her.
Jiang Ling shook his head and sighed, "No."
"Huan'an is very smart. I just said one sentence and she knew my purpose." She shrugged, "I came back empty-handed."
Zhou Jing'an chuckled, having guessed this would be the result.
But she still tried to comfort him, "Huan'an has her own ideas. Mom and Dad won't force her. No matter what she chooses, as long as she's happy, that's fine."
He squeezed her fingers and said, "Ling'er, don't worry too much."
Jiang Ling knew what he meant.
"I understand. I'm not trying to force her. It doesn't matter whether she chooses Chen Yuanzong or not. It doesn't matter if she never gets married."
She paused, leaning closer, "I'm just curious."
After all, Huan'an and Chen Yuanzong have nothing in common no matter how you look at it.
The desire to eat melon is very strong.
If the two of them have a chance, she wants to do it.
Zhou Jing'an raised his eyebrows, seeing the curiosity clearly written on her face, and couldn't help but smile: "Indeed, I hadn't thought of it before."
"Yeah."
Jiang Ling felt quite happy to have found an accomplice.
"You said that Chen Yuanzong looks so steady, handles things smoothly, and usually keeps a low profile, but he actually likes a passionate woman like Huanan, and he likes her so much."
After all, every time Chen Yuanzong saw Huan'an, stars would pop out of his eyes.
It almost flashed her eyes several times.
Zhou Jingan chuckled, "There are no rules to follow for things like this. No one can predict what the heart desires."
He lowered his eyes to look at her.
Just like them.
He had never thought that he would fall in love with a beautiful woman like Ling'er, and like her so much.
No, Ling'er is so good, he will fall in love with her sooner or later.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but hold her hand tighter.
"That's right." Jiang Ling nodded.
Feelings are the most vague and elusive thing.
The two walked into Qiyun Pavilion, and only a red edge of the sunset remained on the horizon.
She looked up and asked him, "So what do you think of Chen Yuanzong?"
Jiang Ling didn't know him very well and had only met him a few times.
In the few times I met him, I just felt that he was a very sociable person.
Of course he looks good, after all, he was the third place winner chosen by Feng Yu.
Although his family background is not as high-ranking and powerful as the Zhou family, his father, Chen Heng, is currently the Left Censor-in-Chief of the Censorate, a second-rank official.
There are also many talented and ambitious people in previous generations.
There is no doubt that they are a family of scholars.
In addition, their Chen family seems to be really suitable for the position of censor. Including Chen Heng, there are already three of them, and that’s within five generations.
This is all Jiang Ling knew about the Chen family, and she knew nothing else.
As for his personality, I think Chen Yuanzong is very steady at first glance.
Unlike Zhou Jing'an, his steadiness contains some depth. It is not difficult to see that he is a calculating person, but it is very comfortable to get along with him.
Well, it's just very comfortable.
Just like his sister Chen Lianyi, although he is not familiar with her, talking to her makes people feel very comfortable and relaxed.
Maybe this is their family tradition?
After all, as an imperial censor, he would offend people to some extent. However, I had occasionally heard Jiang Lianshan mention that Chen Heng had a very good reputation in the court.
This does require some skill.
Jiang Ling's thoughts drifted further and further away. When she came to her senses, she saw Zhou Jing'an looking at her without saying a word.
"What's wrong?"
Zhou Jingan chuckled, "I saw you were so lost in thought that I didn't bother you."
Jiang Ling touched the tip of his nose and said, "I accidentally thought too much."
What are you thinking about so deeply?
Chen Yuanzong?
Zhou Jing'an frowned, feeling a little jealous.
"Don't think about him."
Before the brain could process the words, the mouth came out first.
Jiang Ling was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook his hand. "No, no, I don't want to think about it. I'm thinking about the Chen family, not him."
Zhou Jing'an's frown relaxed, and he answered the question she had just asked after entering the house.
"Yuan Zong is mature and steady, intelligent and knowledgeable, and very motivated. He is a man with a promising future."
In his eyes, Chen Yuanzong had climbed up steadily step by step. He was intelligent, but reserved. Although he was a bit tactful, it was not a bad thing. He was also very patient with people and things.
Such people are likely to have the potential to achieve great things over time.
"Then do you think he's suitable for Huanan?"
Although Zhou Huanan is very good at wielding swords and guns, she is actually very simple-minded. In addition, she is the youngest daughter of the Zhou family and was raised by the whole family. She is also kind and cute and has no knowledge of the world.
