Mrs. Su came to her daughter's yard early in the morning with an excited look on her face. She also instructed Miaoxia to dress up her baby daughter well today.
She stood by and gave instructions with a focused look.
"Yaoyao, you can pick one of these gentlemen today. As long as you like them, we can observe them first. There is no rush. You still have a year to go before you come of age."
As Mrs. Su spoke, she gently stroked her daughter's hair, her eyes full of emotion.
Time flies so fast, Yaoyao is about to reach the age of 15.
She sighed slightly, feeling both relieved and reluctant.
The gentlemen invited today were all carefully selected by her after repeated consideration. Their appearance, family background, and character have all been strictly considered and there is no problem.
She was quite satisfied with a few of them, such as the Prince of Wu'an. After all, she and the wife of Wu'an were close friends and knew him inside and out.
And the young man from the Qi family is not bad either. After all, the Qi family is the queen's maternal family and has a huge influence. They are a good match for their Su family.
However, I heard that Qi Yixu had been training in the army before and his personality was not gentle enough. I wonder if he would not dote on his wife enough.
"Mom, I understand." Su Jingyao responded softly.
But I was thinking to myself, what a pity, your daughter has already been reserved by someone else.
Today, Mrs. Su will hold a banquet in a courtyard called "Haitangchun" in the Su Mansion.
It is filled with crabapple flowers of various colors. When the breeze blows, the petals fall down, which is a beautiful sight. It is an extremely elegant and beautiful place.
After Su Jingyao dressed up carefully, she slowly walked towards Haitangchun.
She was the protagonist of today's banquet. As soon as she walked in, her beautiful face and graceful figure instantly attracted everyone's attention.
Today, Su Jingyao is wearing a rose-red dress with a cinched waist. The hem of the dress looks like a blooming flower when she walks. The sleeves are narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, which perfectly outlines her graceful and slender figure.
She rarely wears makeup, and today's makeup complements the color of her dress. Her delicate eyebrows and bright lips make her look exquisite, gentle and charming, making people unable to take their eyes off her.
When Si Nanyu saw her from afar, his eyes lit up instantly, reflecting surprise and amazement.
I haven't seen her for a year, and when I suddenly saw her now, I had a wonderful feeling that the little girl had grown into a big girl in the blink of an eye.
It's so beautiful that it makes your heart intoxicated.
While other young masters were hesitating to move forward due to etiquette and were still debating in their hearts whether to go forward, Si Nanyu did not hesitate at all. He stepped quickly and strode forward early.
"Miss Su, long time no see. You've become even more beautiful. You're even more eye-catching than the crabapple trees in this courtyard."
Si Nanyu was very enthusiastic, his eyes full of undisguised appreciation and admiration, his voice rising slightly with excitement.
"The prince hasn't changed much."
Su Jingyao tilted her head slightly and responded with a faint smile.
The moment Qi Yixu saw her, the desire in his heart surged like a tide, and he was eager to go find her.
However, he has grown a lot this year. He is no longer as straightforward and impulsive as before. He has learned to restrain himself and realized that being too straightforward may easily scare away the girl he likes.
He suppressed the impulse in his heart, stood where he was, but his eyes always followed Su Jingyao's figure.
There was a hint of bitterness in Wang Xiuwen's expression, his eyes dimmed, and he felt very lost.
His status was indeed very different from Miss Su's. He originally thought that as long as he and Miss Su sympathized with each other, the difference in status would not be a problem.
He also firmly believed that he would become a high-ranking official in the future and provide Miss Su with a comfortable life.
But this year, Miss Su did not go out to attend the party, so he had more opportunities to see her.
However, as their contacts increased, Wang Xiuwen suddenly realized that the distance between him and Miss Su was as huge as a chasm and it was completely impossible.
That time he met Miss Su by chance at the Su Mansion. He was extremely excited, with a happy smile on his face, and greeted Miss Su warmly.
I even started talking about poetry with Miss Su again with anticipation.
When Su Jingyao saw him, she secretly decided to make him give up completely this time, and then she started talking to Wang Xiuwen calmly.
No matter what Wang Xiuwen said, Su Jingyao was determined to go against him.
For example, Wang Xiuwen said with deep emotion: "There are countless painters in the world, but they cannot paint a sincere heart."
Su Jingyao smiled faintly and responded, "Who says sadness can't be painted? Painting the human heart follows the world's emotions."
Seeing Wang Xiuwen's originally confident expression turn into embarrassment, Su Jingyao felt inexplicably amused.
Didn’t he always feel that they had a resonance in poetry?
Today, his fantasy will be completely shattered.
Afterwards, Wang Xiuwen seemed unwilling to give up, and the topics of conversation became all over the place, and then he said several more words.
For example, he said in a firm tone: "All other pursuits are inferior, only reading is superior."
Su Jingyao disagreed without hesitation, "I'd rather be a centurion than a scholar."
He also told him a story in vivid detail and explained in detail why he thought so.
Then Wang Xiuwen said with a touch of emotion: "Flowers may bloom again, but people can never be young again."
Su Jingyao replied: "Who says life will never be young again? The water in front of the door can still flow west."
......
Wang Xiuwen was left speechless by Su Jingyao's retort. Finally, he looked up at the sky and said helplessly, "The sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it is almost dusk."
Su Jingyao responded to him: "Don't say it's too late, the sky is still full of rosy clouds."
