Tao'er had just finished buying medicine powder with Su Miaocai, and as soon as she got into the carriage, she couldn't help but start talking about Meng Ying.
Tao'er: "Miss, did you see her? That was the Meng family girl that the old lady keeps talking about."
"I saw it, and she is indeed good-looking."
Su Miao pictured Meng Ying in her mind. While she wouldn't say she was stunningly beautiful, she was at least pleasing to the eye.
Not to mention that Old Mrs. Shen likes her, if she had a son someday, she might like a daughter-in-law like this too.
She looks proper, dignified and generous, and the temperament she exudes doesn't seem to be faked.
Upon hearing Su Miao's words, Tao'er couldn't help but glance at her mistress a few more times.
Su Miao felt a little uncomfortable being looked at like that.
She couldn't help but touch her face: "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"
Tao'er was amused by Su Miao's behavior.
"No! It's just that I think Miss is quite pretty."
Su Miao guessed that Tao'er would say that, and she smiled slightly before lowering her hand.
"knew."
Tao'er was comforting her, and she understood.
Tao'er glanced at it again, just as Su Miao looked up.
A thought flashed through her mind, and she instantly knew it was right.
"Miss! I think your eyes are somewhat similar to those of that Miss Meng."
But your eyes are more sparkling than Miss Meng's.
picture?
Su Miao couldn't help but cover her eyes.
To let her see more clearly, Tao'er quickly took a small mirror and handed it to Su Miao.
"Doesn't it look like it? I think it does!"
Su Miao glanced at it and quickly put the mirror away.
"I know……"
From the moment she saw the portrait of Shen Changji, she felt that her eyes were about 50-60% similar to those in the portrait.
She guessed at the time that this was the reason why Shen Changji had taken the bait.
Perhaps everyone thinks that General Shen has no one in his heart, but... in fact, he has someone hidden in his heart.
But so what if it's similar?
Meng Ying and he were a good match, both in terms of background and talent.
Tao'er thought for a moment, "Miss, didn't you see the eldest young master before you entered the Duke's mansion?"
Su Miao had also thought about this question.
But before she entered the Duke's Mansion, Shen Changji was not in the capital. At that time, she was either at the pharmacy or with Mo Lin in the Northern Dynasty.
How did she and Shen Changji end up meeting...?
If we go back a little further, she was in Zhangshui City.
Zhangshui City is so remote and poor, it doesn't seem like a place Shen Changji would go.
Moreover... she heard from her grandmother that Shen Changji entered the army at a very young age.
In that case, it would be almost impossible for her to have met Shen Changji.
In her memory, she had never seen Chen Changji before...
Su Miao shook her head in response to Tao'er's curiosity.
"Really? Is it possible that you two have met before, but you just didn't recognize the eldest young master?"
Su Miao: "It's unlikely. If he came to Zhangshui City, there would be some commotion. But during the years I lived in Zhangshui City, I never heard of anyone coming from the capital."
Tao'er had thought of everything that Tao'er had thought of.
If the painting in the silent study could be painted in more detail, that would be even better.
At least let her see the woman's whole face, not just her eyes...
It's really hard to find someone with only one pair of eyes.
...
Even after Meng Ying brought up the topic of her beloved, Shen Changji still showed no intention of seeing her.
She had long anticipated Chen Changji's cold and indifferent attitude.
Meng Ying looked at Gu Ying and smiled slightly. "It's alright. If General Chen needs any help in the future, please feel free to come to me."
With that, Meng Ying didn't insist and left with her maid.
Upon hearing this, Lone Eagle frowned slightly.
What could his master possibly need this Miss Meng's help with?
Lone Eagle shook his head and went back to report.
He didn't tell Shen Changji this, because to Gu Ying, Meng Ying's words were nonsense.
Chen Changji didn't finish his work until almost evening.
"Go find her and teach her the zither." Shen Changji put down the booklet in his hand, rubbed his temples, and gave the order.
"good."
...
When Su Miao returned, she rested for a while.
He got up and went to take a bath and change his clothes, but just after finishing dinner, he heard something from Old Madam Shen.
Her brows furrowed slightly.
Why does Grandma want me to practice the zither at this time?
Tao'er quickly laughed it off, saying, "It's just that the old lady is concerned about you, Miss... I've heard that the zither teacher is quite skilled. During the day, it was the Third Miss who was learning, and now it's your turn, Miss."
The old lady said, "Although you have your own residence, Miss, you are still a member of the Duke's mansion. You still need to have some skills to show off."
After thinking for a moment, Su Miao had no choice but to have Tao'er tidy up before going over.
She had learned the zither before, but when she first entered the Duke's mansion, the third branch of the family had the zither player spend most of his time with his daughter.
Su Miao understood her situation, so she didn't insist.
She wouldn't say she couldn't, just that she wasn't very good at it.
Su Miao recalled what Old Madam Shen had said some time ago—that she would choose a husband for her… she must be really serious about it.
Regardless, since her grandmother had summoned her, she went.
But when Su Miao arrived, she vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
As expected... Fang Xing's appearance explained everything.
The music inside the room hadn't stopped; each note was melodious and carried a hint of tenderness.
"Miss, your master is waiting for you inside."
