Chapter 164 They are all young and handsome men
After Zheng Qingrong said this, Chen Niao stared at her for a long time, "Why didn't you say this to me?"
I have known her for so long, but I have never heard Zheng Qingrong say such words, especially when people in the capital were talking about my breaking off the engagement, she went straight to marry into the Prince Rui's Mansion without even saying a word to me.
Zheng Qingrong gave her a reproachful look. With the Chen family around, why did they need her?
Yu Qinghuan agreed with a smile, "Then I will go."
Chen Niao whispered, "Let me tell you, the Arong family holds a spring flower banquet every year. They say it's for flower viewing, but in reality, it's just for families to bring their children to the banquet and enjoy the flowers!"
"You've moved out of the Marquis' Mansion now, so you can still pick your pick. If you see a handsome man you like, just take him behind the rockery. Even if you touch him, no one will see you."
Yu Qinghuan was surprised and looked at Zheng Qingrong. She really didn't expect that the Zheng family's flower viewing banquet had such an intention.
Zheng Qingrong coughed lightly, feeling a little embarrassed at Shangyu Qinghuan's gaze. "Mother doesn't have many interests. She just likes to match those girls and boys..."
"But don't be like Aniao. If there's someone you like, I'll ask my mother for you. But don't let anyone drag you out for a private meeting. It would be bad if someone saw you."
Yu Qinghuan was curious and asked Chen Niao, "So you dragged someone else's young master out before?"
Chen Niao smiled and said, "No, I saw it by accident."
Zheng Qingrong glanced at her but didn't expose her.
In fact, Chen Niao was bored, so he went to hide in the rockery every year just to watch those shy girls and boys holding hands, and he said it was interesting.
Yu Qinghuan thought that the Zheng family probably wanted to find another good match for Zheng Qingrong. However, considering her status as the former Princess Rui and the unpleasant divorce, it might not be easy to find one.
...
That night, Sang Ru was a little surprised to learn that Yu Qinghuan was going to the Zheng family's flower-viewing banquet in two days.
"Miss, I remember that people in the capital go to the Zheng family's flower viewing banquet to see each other. If you go, I'm afraid that other rumors will spread in the capital."
The nice part is that Yu, who had just been divorced, wanted to marry again and went to the Zheng family's flower-viewing party to see the new woman. The bad part is that I don't know how to arrange it yet.
Sang Ru felt that it would be better not to go, so as to avoid meeting someone and causing trouble.
Yu Qinghuan, however, felt that it would be boring to stay at home all day. "It doesn't matter. Even if I don't go, the rumors outside will not stop."
Instead of avoiding them, she might as well go out and take a look. She also wanted to listen to how these people made up stories for themselves.
Seeing that she really wanted to go, Sang Ru stopped persuading her and went to pick out clothes, thinking: I will dress the girl up beautifully when the time comes, so that she will outshine all the other girls and leave those gossipers speechless.
At the same time, at Duke Dingguo’s Mansion.
The wife of Duke Dingguo slammed the table in anger, "Now I just want you to go to the Zheng family banquet with me, and I can't even get you to come?"
Mu Huaian lowered his eyes and gently opened the tea lid. The Zheng family's Spring Flower Banquet was said to be for flower viewing, but in fact it was for marriage. This was something everyone in the capital knew. How could he not know what his mother was planning?
It's just that he has his eyes on a girl and wants him to meet her at the banquet.
"Don't worry, mother. I have something to do in the next two days and won't be going."
Lady Dingguogong's chest was choked with anger. "If you don't go, don't recognize me as your mother from now on!"
He thought that such harsh words would make his son obedient, but unexpectedly, Mu Huaian put the teacup in his hand aside, got up and left without saying a word.
In the room, the wife of Duke Dingguo was so angry that she wanted to throw things, but she held the teacup in her hand. When she saw that it was the fine celadon given to her by the emperor last year, she couldn't bear to throw it and forced herself to hold back her anger.
These two are just making me angry!
The nanny beside her hurried forward to comfort her, "Madam, calm down. The young master doesn't like to hear these things, but he knows you are doing this for his own good. I think he needs some time to think about it."
Lady Dingguo snorted coldly, "If he knew I was doing this for his own good, he would listen to me!"
You have to know that the girl he is looking for now is the daughter of the Minister of Personnel, Sun's family. She has a quiet temperament and a very good reputation in the capital. She is a good girl that many families are eagerly pursuing.
I just wanted my son to go and see her. If he really didn't like her, it would be fine, but he didn't even want to take a look!
At this moment, Mu Huaian had just left the yard when Xiao Wu came over and whispered, "Master, Miss Chen just delivered a message."
Chen Niao?
Mu Huaian: "What did you say?"
Xiao Wu looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he spoke, "Miss Chen said that Miss Yu would go to the Zheng family for a banquet in two days."
After saying this, he carefully looked at his young master's expression, who still looked calm and composed.
In fact, Mu Huaian's hands clenched slightly under her sleeves. What was she doing at the Zheng family's Spring Flower Banquet...
Xiao Wu was just about to say something to alert the young master. After all, the Spring Flower Banquet was not an ordinary banquet, and those who attended were all young and handsome men!
But don't turn around, Miss Yu's heart has already flown away with those young men.
But before he could open his mouth, he saw his young master suddenly turn around and walk towards the lady's yard again.
He wondered and followed.
I saw Mu Huaian enter the house again.
Lady Dingguo was so angry that she was out of breath. Seeing this rebellious son come back, her face darkened. "What are you doing here again? Are you afraid that I, your mother, will be pissed off to death?"
Mu Huaian: "Mother, what you said just now makes sense. In two days, your son will go to the Zheng family with you for the banquet."
The wife of Duke Dingguo was stunned for a moment, thinking she had misheard. Just as she was about to speak to confirm, she saw her rebellious son leave again.
She turned around blankly, not yet reacting, and asked the nanny beside her, "What did he say just now?"
The nanny said happily, "The young master said he wants to go to the Zheng family for a banquet with you!"
The wife of Duke Dingguo looked suspicious. This rebellious son had just been refusing to obey, but now he suddenly changed his mind. There must be something wrong.
But it doesn't matter, as long as he is willing to go and meet the girl from the Sun family.
At this moment, the maidservant outside came in. Lady Dingguo couldn't see anyone around, so she frowned and asked, "Where's the person? Didn't we send the message? Why hasn't he come yet?"
The maid said, "Madam, I went to Cheng's house but didn't see him. They said that my uncle was busy with official business and hasn't returned for a few days."
Upon hearing this, Lady Dingguo felt a headache again. She didn't know where her younger brother was hanging out all day, and he hadn't even come home at night recently.
The nanny soothed her, "Madam, don't worry. With the Second Young Master's personality, he certainly wouldn't mess around with those indecent women out there."
Duke Dingguo held his forehead with his hand and said, "If he can do whatever he wants, I'll be happy."
Even if they were from an irregular family, she would accept them.
...
At this time, the yard was a little chilly after the rain. Cheng Gongjin was standing in the yard with his coat on.
He picked up a few pieces of dried meat with his bony fingers and placed them on the food box next to the wooden door in the yard, then walked to a rocking chair nearby and lay down.
The kitten ate a few pieces of dried meat, glanced at the gap in the wooden door, quietly scratched it with its claws, and then stuck its round head into the gap and pushed it twice.
With a creaking sound, the wooden door was pushed open...
