Chapter 92 2
The development of the matter was beyond Su Cha's imagination. He knew Pei Changfeng, but how could his daughter take the initiative to pursue him? It would have to be that boy named Pei who fell in love with his daughter at first sight and then pestered his daughter to marry him.
Su Cha was silent for a moment, "Girl, we girls should be reserved."
"Why are you being so reserved? Dad, you don't know how handsome he is." Su Wanwan's eyes began to sparkle. "He is more handsome than any man I have ever seen!"
Su Cha coughed lightly, "Better looking than your father?"
Su Wanwan touched her nose and chose to avoid the topic, "Okay, anyway, Dad, you think of a way, I must marry him."
After saying that, Su Wanwan skipped away, and before leaving, she did not forget to ask Su Cha to reimburse the money she had spent today.
Su Cha's wallet was also heartbroken, and he lamented that girls cannot be kept when they grow up.
The attendant came over and gave Su Cha a cold look.
Sucha: "How did you do this?"
Attendant: "What's the matter, General..."
Su Cha hissed, "I asked you to arrange for the young lady to meet that boy named Pei, but you didn't even watch out for her... Oh, you are such a jerk!"
After saying that, Su Cha left angrily, and his attendant was confused on the spot. He spoke belatedly, "General, I haven't made any arrangements yet..."
Su Wanwan returned to the house and asked Hong Xing to prepare paper and ink. She planned to draw Pei Changfeng's appearance, but her drawing skills were really poor. In the end, she could only barely make out that it was a person.
But Su Wanwan didn't care. She was very satisfied with her masterpiece and asked Hong Xing to hang it on the wall.
Hong Xing looked at it for a long time but couldn't figure out what it was, so she couldn't help asking, "Miss, what is this painting of yours?"
Su Wanwan covered her face, feeling a little shy, "This is my sweetheart."
Hong Xing looked at her young lady's pretty, rosy face, then looked at the man in the painting who could barely be seen as a human being. After thinking for a while, she decided to respect her young lady's choice.
At the same time, at Yang Hou Mansion.
Yang Lu saw her son coming back and greeted him with a smile, "Son, how come I heard that a girl talked to you today?"
The place where Su Wanwan called Pei Changfeng just now was not far from Yang Hou Mansion, so it was normal for someone to see it and tell Yang Lu.
Seeing that her son didn't say anything, Yang Lu didn't ask any more questions. Anyway, she had found out everything. The girl was said to be extremely beautiful and seemed to be the daughter of General Weiyuan who was very popular recently.
Pei Changfeng washed his hands and prepared to eat. Seeing Yang Lu still looking at him, he said, "Hurry up and eat."
Yang Lu was a little worried. "Son, can you learn how to please girls? Although I gave you a handsome face, it's not a good idea if you don't use it."
"A person's character and talent are the most important, while appearance is just a vain thing."
Seeing that Yang Lu wanted to speak, Pei Changfeng said, "Mother, don't talk while eating and don't talk while sleeping."
Yang Lu took a sip of tea awkwardly and muttered, "Mom is just anxious to have a grandson."
Pei Changfeng was tired of hearing these words. He drank a sip of soup and did not answer.
The spring scenery is bright and not too hot, making it the perfect time to go out.
In order to meet Pei Changfeng again, Su Wanwan has been wandering outside for several days in a row, but she hasn't even seen Pei Changfeng's shadow, and she can't help feeling a little anxious.
"Why doesn't he go out?" Su Wanwan asked Hong Xing.
Hong Xing said, "Maybe that young master is an official and is so busy that he has no time to spare."
Su Wanwan knocked her head and said, "Yeah, why didn't I think of that? Oh, I've been staying at home like an idiot. Let's go back home."
When Su Cha returned home, he saw Su Wanwan waiting for him at the door. He felt very relieved that his daughter had grown up and understood the difficulties of being a parent.
"My dear daughter, do you miss your daddy?"
Just as Su Cha finished speaking, he heard Su Wanwan say, "Dad! When you go to court tomorrow, ask me where Pei Changfeng is working. I haven't seen him in the past few days."
Seeing Su Cha's mouth corners turned down, Su Wanwan quickly said: "Dad, you must be tired, go back and rest, I'll pour you some tea."
Su Cha snorted, "You still have some conscience."
Because Su Wanwan had given so many instructions, Su Cha started to inquire about it when he went to court the next day.
When his colleague heard him asking Pei Changfeng, he pointed to the back row on the right and said, "Yes, the most handsome one is it."
Su Cha looked back, secretly disgusted in his heart, thinking that he must be standing so far back and his official position was too low. But then he saw Pei Changfeng standing out among the crowd like a crane among chickens, and he immediately changed his mind: He has reached the sixth rank at such a young age, not bad, he is barely worthy of my daughter.
Perhaps because he had been the focus of attention too many times, Pei Changfeng did not pay much attention to this gaze until the morning court was over and he was stopped on his way back to the Hanlin Academy.
Pei Changfeng looked at the man in front of him. He was wearing a red robe and judging by the accessories on his clothes, he should be a military officer. There were not many military officers above the third rank in this dynasty left in the capital. And he looked so unfamiliar, so he must be the General Weiyuan who had just arrived in Beijing.
Pei Changfeng bowed, "This subordinate greets General Weiyuan."
Su Cha smiled, "You have a pretty good eye, kid."
He looked Pei Changfeng over and over, then started to check the family tree and asked, "How old are you this year? How many people are there in your family? Are you married? Are you engaged?"
Pei Changfeng was a little confused, but he quickly responded, "I have no intention of getting married for the time being."
"I'm just asking," Su Cha smiled. He felt that Pei Changfeng was just trying to refuse. Who knows how he would like Su Wanwan when he saw her. After all, his daughter was loved by everyone. "Just tell me."
Pei Changfeng sighed in his heart, "I am twenty years old this year. I have a mother and grandparents at home. I have never been married, I have no engagement, and I have no plans to get married for the time being."
Sucha picked out what he wanted to hear, "Where's your father? Is your mother an only child?"
"My father died early, and I have three uncles."
"Oh, I see." Su Cha nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, I won't hide it from you. Take some time to meet my daughter. I am very satisfied with you as a son-in-law."
Pei Changfeng suspected for a moment that it was because he had not been out for a long time and the fashion outside had changed. Are people so straightforward now?
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Su Cha patted his shoulder and said, "My daughter is beautiful, smart, virtuous and lovely. You will definitely like her, but it's not easy to marry my daughter. Let's put it this way. The day after tomorrow, you go to Fu Ke Lai and meet her first, and we can talk about the rest later."
After saying that, Su Cha left, leaving Pei Changfeng alone in the wind.
Pei Changfeng was not in a good mood as he was forced to do something for no reason.
When they arrived at the Hanlin Academy, Chen Zhang and Bai Jitong immediately surrounded them.
Chen Zhang: "Hey Changfeng, why did General Weiyuan come to you? Could it be that he has taken a fancy to you and wants you to be his son-in-law? That's great. I heard that General Weiyuan's daughter is more beautiful than a fairy. You won't lose out!"
Bai Jitong: "Why don't you take me with you when you go? Maybe the young lady from the general's mansion will fall in love with me instead of you!"
Chen Zhang: "No, no, no, take me with you, take me with you."
The two of them were arguing loudly, and Pei Changfeng just felt a headache, so he stood up and sat aside.
Su Cha finished his work and went back to tell Su Wanwan about it.
Su Wanwan stood up excitedly, "Dad! You are worthy of it!"
Su Cha snorted, "How else can I be your father?"
Su Wanwan clenched her fists and encouraged herself, "I can definitely make him your son-in-law!"
Sucha: "Okay, I'm afraid he's barely worthy of you."
Su Wanwan returned to the house excitedly and began to prepare things for her meeting Pei Changfeng the day after tomorrow.
The first thing is clothes and jewelry. She should wear new clothes and expensive jewelry. The second thing is skin care. Su Wanwan took out the pearl powder and facial cream that she used for her daily skin care and started applying them on her face.
Seeing her like this, Liu Lian couldn't help but wonder, "What does that person look like that makes you so excited?"
"Anyway, he's the most handsome man I've ever seen in my life," Su Wanwan said as she applied pearl powder to her face. "If I want to get married, I must find a man I like and admire, so that the marriage will have meaning. Otherwise, why would I get married? Am I just asking for trouble?"
Liu Lian agreed with her idea, "That's right! Mother supports you!"
In a blink of an eye, it was the day to meet Pei Changfeng. Su Wanwan had dressed up carefully, wearing a soft and charming smoky pink floor-length dress, a set of newly made gold hairpins, and sprayed herself with perfume, then went out at her work station.
She came to the private room that Su Cha had booked at Fukelai, waiting for Pei Changfeng to arrive with great excitement.
I don’t know how long I waited, almost an hour, and the sky was getting dark, but there was still no sign of Pei Changfeng.
Su Wanwan stood up and looked out the window. Her anticipation and excitement had almost disappeared, replaced by disappointment.
"Doesn't he want to see me..." Su Wanwan muttered.
Hong Xing coaxed her, "Miss, don't think like that. Maybe Master Pei is just too busy. Don't you see that the general is sometimes busy until midnight before returning home?"
After hearing what Hong Xing said, Su Wanwan perked up, straightened her dress, and continued waiting.
Another half an hour passed, and Su Wanwan was so angry that she slammed the table and said, "I won't wait any longer. Let's go back!"
Hong Xing wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "Miss, don't be angry. There are many men in the world. It's his bad luck that Master Pei didn't come."
As soon as Su Wanwan pushed open the door, she was hit and screamed "Ouch". She covered her nose and looked over, only to see Pei Changfeng standing at the door, as if he had just arrived.
Pei Changfeng saw tears in her eyes and asked her politely, "I'm sorry, I guess it hurts."
Su Wanwan put her hand down, glared at him and said, “It doesn’t hurt!”
She said it didn't hurt, but her eyes and nose were red, and she sniffed, clearly trying hard to hold on.
Pei Changfeng looked away, "I'm sorry, Yanei was delayed by something, I didn't expect that the girl is the daughter of General Weiyuan's mansion."
Su Wanwan wiped away her tears quickly while he turned around, “Yes, I thought you weren’t coming.”
Pei Changfeng didn't know how to answer for a moment. He pursed his lips and tried to get straight to the point, "Miss, actually I..."
Before he could finish his words, Su Wanwan covered her eyes and exclaimed, "Ah, my eyes hurt!"
The little maid who was in the room just now disappeared. Su Wanwan kept rubbing her eyes, as if she was in great pain. Pei Changfeng did not speak. When she cried anxiously, he said, "Don't move. Let me take a look."
Su Wanwan didn't move obediently. Her left eye was red and still shedding tears. Pei Changfeng saw an extremely long eyelash in her eye.
Pei Changfeng was a little hesitant and didn't want to get involved.
Su Wanwan sobbed, "What's wrong, am I going blind?"
Her eyes were watery and full of fear, as if she was really frightened.
Seeing her attitude, Pei Changfeng was worried that if he didn't help her, she might really rub her eyes.
"Don't move." Pei Changfeng said.
Su Wanwan stood still obediently. She looked at the handsome face of the man in front of her, her heart beating uncontrollably. Pei Changfeng's face was getting closer and closer. Su Wanwan's face was getting redder and redder. She became a little flustered. She closed her eyes and was a little nervous.
Her curled eyelashes trembled. Pei Changfeng was stunned and suppressed his smile. "Open your eyes."
Su Wanwan felt a little embarrassed. After opening her eyes, she only felt Pei Changfeng blowing towards her eyes, and then he distanced them.
The pain in her eyes was gone, and Su Wanwan wiped away her tears. "Thank you, Brother Changfeng."
She called him "Brother Changfeng" in a soft and sticky voice, and Pei Changfeng felt uncomfortable. "It's just a piece of cake."
"I came here today to tell you that I have no plans to get married at the moment," Pei Changfeng said, "Thank you for your kindness."
After saying this, Pei Changfeng didn't even look at Su Wanwan's expression. He turned around and left. After taking two steps, he felt his sleeve being pulled.
Pei Changfeng frowned and wanted to pull it out, but he smelled the scent of roses and forgot what to do for a moment.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked my dad to look for you, but I really like you," Su Wanwan said, "Will we have a chance to meet again in the future?"
Pei Changfeng said nothing, gently pulled out his sleeves, and left.
After he left, Hong Xing came in and started to complain, "Miss, this guy is too ignorant."
Su Wanwan didn't care, "If you don't refuse, there is still a chance. I must get the person I want!"
She returned home full of fighting spirit. Su Cha was so angry when he saw her coming back so late that his face turned black. "Why did you come back so late?"
Su Wanwan took a sip of water and said, "I waited for him for an hour and a half!"
This made Su Cha even angrier. "Okay, he dares to act so arrogantly. I will teach him a lesson tomorrow."
Su Wanwan said: "Hey, Dad, don't be impulsive, Brother Changfeng is just a little busy, he didn't come so late on purpose."
When Su Cha heard his daughter's name, he felt like the sky was falling. He glanced at this disappointing girl, but he couldn't bear to scold her. In the end, he got so angry that he left.
Yanghou Mansion.
Pei Changfeng washed up and rested. For some reason, he always smelled the faint scent of roses at the tip of his nose.
He turned over and forced himself to sleep, but the lingering fragrance made him feel uneasy.
