Chapter 62 What I Remember
Chen was angry for a while, but when the two newlyweds came to pay their respects to their parents, she finally put on a smile.
Xu Shuyao stuck her head in and looked inside. There was a big red wedding character pasted on the wall of the house. Friends and relatives gathered around it, saying auspicious words that suited the occasion.
Of course, there were also those who curled their lips and looked disapproving, and the third girl Xiao Jinshan was one of them.
The marriage between the two was arranged in a hurry, and curious people would inevitably want to find out a few things.
When you ask around, don't you hear some rumors?
Xu Shuyao stood in the flower hall all day to receive guests. After the newlyweds finished their ceremony and she had nothing to do, she immediately went to Jiyunzhai.
Everyone was curious to see the bride, but as someone who had seen Liu Qingwan countless times, she really didn't need to join in the fun.
When it comes to the twelfth month, even if the weather is sunny every day, it will still be dry and cold.
Away from the crowd and the noise, the wind blowing through the courtyard blows straight into my lapels and neck.
Xu Shuyao tightened her apricot-colored jacket and skirt, but her steps were not fast.
My feet still hurt after standing in the banquet hall all day!
However, just as I turned the corner of the main hall, I saw Xiao Mo and a man walking towards me.
Xu Shuyao didn't look at the man seriously, but called out, "Cousin!"
Xiao Mo was wearing a dark green robe, as if he had just returned, and he was also wearing a dark grey round-necked cloak with gold-woven python satin on the outside.
He seemed stunned when he suddenly heard the voice.
But he didn't leave immediately, but looked at her for a moment.
In just a short while, the young woman in front of him had unconsciously moved her feet twice.
"What happened to your foot?"
When he asked, Xu Shuyao finally remembered, "Oh, it's okay, I'm standing."
Xiao Mo nodded and said nothing more.
But while they were talking here, Wang Wendong, who had stepped aside, smiled slightly.
After Xu Shuyao left, he asked his cousin indirectly, "Cousin from the mansion?"
Xiao Mo glanced at him sideways and didn't answer.
"Which room?"
Wang Wendong is the eldest son of the Qingyuan Marquisate, and also Wang Shaowei's elder brother.
He had married a wife a few years ago, but she died of complications during childbirth, leaving behind a boy who is now just two years old.
Seeing him like this, Xiao Mo said, "Why are you asking these questions?"
"...The mansion is arranging a remarriage for me." Wang Wendong was a little surprised when he talked about this.
That day, when he saw this woman for the first time in the pen and ink shop, he thought she was really beautiful.
But he didn't think about anything else. Later, when he saw those scoundrels gathered around him, he helped them.
We met by chance and left immediately.
Looking back, I can only smile knowingly.
But the woman gave him a very good impression. Not only was she well-spoken, but she also did not have the arrogance of a lady from a wealthy family. However, she was not as shy as a young lady who had lived in the boudoir for a long time and avoided men like the plague.
Seeing that this person had a smile on his face, it seemed that he was recalling something happy.
Xiao Mo's eyes suddenly became sharp. He looked at her and said calmly, "She's just an orphan girl. However, my grandmother loves her very much."
Seeing that his cousin fell silent after hearing this, he raised his eyebrows.
She's also a very scheming young lady.
Xu Shuyao didn't know that she just went out for a while and met someone who was related to the mansion.
After Xiao Liu's wedding, Xu Shuyao did not go out again, but asked her maid to deliver the flowery paper she had drawn to the shop.
When Manager Yang saw it, he was overjoyed and kept asking the boss which painter he had found to paint it, as it was even better than the paper he had been trying to get before.
Qiao Wei smiled and said, "Manager Yang, just keep selling them. There will be plenty more in the future."
The master sent her here without telling this person the truth, so Qiao Wei had to help cover up a little.
As Xu Shuyao expected, these flowery notes sold very well.
Even other businesses were boosted by the shop’s unique floral paper.
After all, after buying beautiful paper, you also need high-quality, pleasant-smelling ink and a pen that can write beautiful characters.
In a short period of time, this kind of flowery paper became popular in Shangjing.
Even Xiao Jinshan bought some. When Xu Shuyao saw it, she was greatly surprised and hurriedly asked the maids in the yard to keep it secret.
The drawing papers were also put away carefully and no drawings were made in front of outsiders.
What she didn't know was that even Princess Huayang in the palace had made some "Yi Xian Qian" flowery paper to write letters.
Although Princess Huayang was not born from Empress Feng's womb, she was the only adorable little princess in the entire imperial palace, and therefore she was particularly loved by the current emperor.
As a royal princess, she is naturally quite picky about men.
She looked down upon all the things her father had said before, but she fell in love with the prince of the Chengguo Mansion at first sight.
In the study of Mingzhe Hall, Xiao Mo glanced at the letter sent from the palace, but was too lazy to open it.
But when he left the desk, he accidentally moved the books on it.
With a "crash", things fell to the ground.
The little maid who was in charge of cleaning came over hurriedly.
But the prince did not leave. Instead, he lowered his head and looked at the paper that fell out of the envelope.
On the light pink paper, there is a painting of a man and a woman in the corner, with their clothes fluttering and gazing at the distant starry sky, which is very vivid.
The maid saw that the prince was standing there without moving, so she didn't dare to go any closer.
After a long while, he called out, "Master!"
Xiao Mo seemed stunned for a moment, then quickly picked up the piece of letter paper.
Then he said calmly: "Clean it up!"
The little maidservant had been staring at it, and couldn't help being curious. She wondered what Princess Huayang had written this time that made the prince put the letter away.
Xiao Mo stood in front of the corridor, took the paper in his hand and looked at it for a while, then raised his lips and smiled gently.
After the maid had tidied up the desk, the prince sat down again, and there was an extra book in front of him.
Looking at the identical technique, he was stunned for a moment.
This is a painting for a pornographic booklet, and now it is painted on flowery paper.
It can be seen that this technique is not that of the old man, it is much more immature, but it is obviously related to him.
When Xiao Mo was young, he also learned painting for a period of time, and at that time he even took an old man as his teacher.
The old man paints everything from figures to flowers, birds, insects and fish. His works are truly taken from life and come alive on paper.
But later he had to practice martial arts and go to the palace to accompany the prince in his studies, so he neglected his painting skills.
The old naughty boy left in anger.
So when I passed by Huzhou before, I suddenly saw a booklet with a style somewhat similar to the old man's, so I bought it.
When Wuying walked in, he saw that in front of the prince there was not only the pornographic booklet but also Princess Huayang's letter. He was confused for a moment.
The inquiry in his eyes was too obvious. Xiao Mo looked up and then lowered his eyes.
"Here, go check and see where this flower note came from."
But after the guard left, he seemed to remember something and his eyes became strange for a moment.
