Chapter 90 Plan
Want to see me?
Xinnuo stood under a jasmine flower, looked at Xu Ruqing, who was obviously specially dressed, and asked, "How did you get in?"

Nowadays, no matter how loose the defense between men and women is, it is impossible to let an adult man run around in someone else's backyard.

Xu Ruqing smiled and said, "Nuer. I want to see you."

She tried hard to look affectionate, but it only made Xinnuo even more disgusted and disgusted.

"Speak straight."

Xu Ruqing's face stiffened, then he raised his lips and said with a smile: "There will be a lantern festival at Yulong Bridge tomorrow night, and I would like to invite you to join us."

"What lantern festival?" Xin Nuo asked.

"Every year in the year of the Great Competition, on June [-]th, a lantern festival will be held in the capital. Many people will attend, including noble daughters and candidates who took the exam that year."

To put it bluntly, it is a large-scale blind date between nobles and folk talents. This is a customary lantern party that was formed at some time. Not only the daughters and sons of nobles, but also the daughters of ordinary families, especially merchants, will also participate.

The characteristic of the imperial examination that "the world knows it once you pass the exam" allows Jinshi to have a certain say in officialdom.

Therefore, wealthy merchants want to choose a son-in-law with a bright future, and aristocratic families also want to inject new vitality into the family. Who doesn't want two more helpers?

What's more, the only way to get help is for him to marry a beautiful woman.

Who wouldn't want to give up such a good thing with both great future and beauty?
Of course, the blind date meeting at this time is only the initial stage of contact between the two parties. Whether there will be a final result will have to wait until the day when the gold list is released.

Xin Nuo said: "It will definitely be very lively then."

The extremely beautiful face of the woman in front of him looked like a white sunflower blossoming quietly at night under the darkening sky. Xu Ruqing's eyes were a little obsessed, "It's lively and there are people eating late."

Xinnuo crossed her arms. If she didn't want to see what Cheng Xueyao had in mind, she would have dug out the man's eyes.

"Okay, when will we go out tomorrow? Let's meet at Yulong Bridge."

Xu Ruqing, who wanted to come and pick her up, swallowed the words that had reached his lips and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Xinnuo couldn't hold it back anymore, rolled his eyes and turned back.Such words revealed some doting, but when they came out of Xu Ruqing's mouth, they seemed so vulgar.

Looking at the woman's back disappearing behind the courtyard door, Xu Ruqing smiled coldly.

The next day, Xinnuo went to work at the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen early in the morning. There were many affairs in the government, and Mr. Chu was not free today. She followed Hu Ping and Piaofeng to investigate the Qianji Sect for a whole day.

Because there was something to do tonight, when it was time to get off work, there was no need for Chu Wei to remind her, so she packed up her things and left.

Chu Wei followed her out and frowned slightly when he saw her walking away.

Hu Ping went to deliver the new Nuo today. Piao Feng was still working in the Yamen. When he saw the Lord coming out, he said, "Sir, the new girl has gone to the Yamen. You have something to tell your subordinates."

From the look of Chu Wei's pale eyes, Piaofeng immediately turned around and went to do his own thing.

Willow head on the moon, after dusk.

Xinnuo only changed into a simple moon-white undershirt and a lavender embroidered jacket. However, the saying that people rely on clothes does not apply to her. She has perfect body proportions and even bones. She can wear anything. Clothing takes advantage of others.

After standing next to the willow tree under the Yulong Bridge for a while, people began to come and go at the bridge entrance not far away, and most of them were men coming to the lantern festival.

As the lantern festival is held year after year, it is not just those who were born in that year. There are also people in the market who want to be favored by a rich family and become rich all at once, and there are also aristocratic children who want to find one or two beautiful concubines. , and even more simply just joining in the fun.

Therefore, today, young men and women stand alone and talk, and they will not attract attention.

On a small boat under the Yulong Bridge, Xu Ruqing and Cheng Xueyao, who were dressed up today, were sitting in the cabin without curtains.

Xu Ruqing suddenly reached out and wanted to take Cheng Xueyao's hand. Cheng Xueyao immediately shyly hid her hand aside, "Brother Xu."

Xu Ruqing's heart melted when she heard this timid voice.

No matter how beautiful Cheng Nuo is, she is just a paper beauty with no warmth. She is not as lively as the woman in front of her.

Xu Ruqing said: "Yao'er, you ask me to deal with her. I have been dealing with her for so long, and I really don't have the patience anymore."

"Brother Xu, today is the last time," Cheng Xueyao's eyelashes drooped, causing much melancholy.

Xu Ruqing really had some real feelings for her, so he felt a little distressed when he saw this, and said firmly: "What do you need me to do today?"

If he can help her, he will try his best to complete it.

Looking up and seeing the determined look in Xu Ruqing's eyes, Cheng Xueyao felt proud.What's the use of Cheng Nuomian's good looks? Xu Ruqing has been with you so many times, doesn't he still only like me?
And brother Yuan Chen has not even given Cheng Nuo a second glance.

Cheng Xueyao was very confident about the next arrangement. She raised her hand and put it on her lips, and the silk handkerchief as smooth as water flowed out of her hand, adding infinite softness and infinite beauty to her.

Xu Ruqing only felt his head go hot, if he could kiss Fangze, he would be willing to die.

"Brother Xu, I know that my sister actually likes Brother Yuan, and I have the intention to give in to her, but Brother Yuan will propose marriage to our house tomorrow. I can't say anything at this time. However, I don't want to owe my sister more." Cheng Xueyao As he spoke, a layer of water shone in his black and white eyes.

I see pity.

Xu Ruqing said angrily: "Just tell me what you want me to do."

The corners of her lips under the veil were slightly raised, and Cheng Xueyao said, "You will go find your sister later. Tell her what I mean first, and then I will go over."

"Is this enough?" Xu Ruqing didn't quite understand. This was the reason why he wasted so many days getting along with Cheng Nuo and allowed himself to obey her?
Cheng Xueyao nodded, "When the time comes, Brother Xu will follow my words and I will give you some benefits."

She glanced sideways, and the maid standing behind her bent down, placed a small sandalwood box on the table, and said with a smile: "This is our lady's advance thank you gift to Master Xu."

Xu Ruqing opened the box hesitantly, and a huge pearl emitted bright light, reflecting infinite light into his eyes.

"Sister, you don't have to be so polite," Xu Ruqing gave in and put the box into her sleeve pocket.

Seeing this, Cheng Xueyao's smile became even brighter.

----

Yuan Chen stood at the bow of the awning boat. Several friends were shouting and joking in the cabin. Yao'er was invited today. He didn't want to come, but before it got dark, these friends came. They all wanted to come to Yulong. Find a good match at the Bridge Lantern Festival.

He was also brought here.

The oars gently cut through the water waves, pushing the boat forward slowly on the water shaded by willow trees. The lights and people on both sides of the bank were crowded, and a strong and peaceful smoke of fireworks floated in the air.

"The hibiscus is like the face and the willows are like the eyebrows," someone suddenly chanted loudly, and then pointed the fan handle to the shore, "Brother Yuan, look, the beauty on the shore seems not to be in the world."

This man's name is Liu Chao, and his grandfather is a dandy son of the Imperial Academy. It is precisely because he doesn't like studying and only loves romance that he plays well with Yuan Chen, who doesn't pursue an official career.

When Zhao Chongfan, who was playing dice with someone in the cabin, heard this, he didn't know what he thought, so he stood up suddenly and rushed out.

"It's her." Zhao Chongfan was shocked and surprised. He had been looking for her since that day when he saw the beauty peeking out of the carriage.

I didn't expect to meet here.

"Brother Chongfan, who is it?"

"The beauty I have been looking for before."

The other two people in the cabin followed and followed Liu and Zhao's gaze, and immediately became stuck.

Yuan Chen looked at the dazed expressions of these friends and said, "Don't look at them. It's rude to others."

Then someone laughed and said, "Brother Yuan Chen is about to have a fiancée, or if his long-term wish has been fulfilled, so naturally he must hold on to it."

Yuan Chen frowned, disgusted by this statement.

At this time, Zhao Chongfan rushed over and said, "Brother Yuan Chen, look, that's not your fiancée, Miss Cheng Er."

Miss Cheng Er's words made Yuan Chen's heart tremble.

Zhao Chongfan was still happy, "Brother Yuan Chen, are Miss Cheng Er and that girl acquaintances? Let's go over and say hello."

"Boatman, go to the bridge." Someone shouted.

The boat turned slightly and headed diagonally towards the bridge.

Cheng Xueyao and Xinnuo chatted a few words, and the clothes around her waist were pulled by the maid.

This is the person coming.

Cheng Xueyao's lips curled up slightly, she took two steps closer to Xinnuo and said softly: "Do you like Brother Xu? I asked him to please you. Mother thought you two were in love, and said she would discuss with father to marry you. To Brother Xu."

Then he gave Xu Ruqing a look.

Xu Ruqing immediately said: "Yao'er, I only like you, I don't want to marry her."

Xin Nuo was still leisurely waiting to see what Cheng Xueyao and Xu Ruqing were doing, but when she heard Xu Ruqing's words, something seemed to break in her head.

Among the chaotic emotions, the most common ones are sadness, unwillingness, and the pain of not getting what you want.

"By the way, mother also said that she left all her dowry to me. As for what you want to bring when you get married, you can buy whatever you want." Cheng Xueyao said proudly, but her eyes showed worry.

Now that it's all said and done, Cheng Nuoneng isn't angry at all?Why don't you take action? Whenever she makes a move,

Before she could finish her thoughts, Cheng Xueyao felt a pain in her abdomen, and then she flew upside down and fell into the water.

A coincidence that suited her perfectly, Yuan Chen's ship also arrived at this time.

Cheng Xueyao didn't expect Cheng Nuo to be so cruel. She gritted her teeth and wanted to stand up from the water, thinking extremely urgently: Yuan Chen must not come down.

Her resistance was so strong that she unconsciously looked at Xu Ruqing, who was standing on the shore before he could react.

Yuan Chen moved and paused.

Xu Ruqing also recovered from the shock, gave Xin Nuo a hard look, and waded over to pull Cheng Xueyao away.

Because it was near shallow water, Cheng Xueyao was not unable to get up in the water, but her face was pale, and the situation was very bad at first glance.

This sudden change caused everyone around to look over, and then gathered together to discuss with their companions.

Only Xin Nuo stood there quietly, the shadow of the weeping willow tree shrouding most of her in darkness.

Xu Ruqing helped Cheng Xueyao up and asked worriedly: "How are you?"

Cheng Xueyao looked up, and Xu Ruqing realized that there were beads of sweat all over her forehead, which showed how hard Xinnuo's kick just now was.

Xu Ruqing was furious and wanted to question Xinnuo, but his arm was pinched hard by Cheng Xueyao.

The servant girl ran over, caught her young lady, and said: "Master Xu, men and women can't kiss each other, you should stay away from my young lady."

Xu Ruqing:---

Cheng Xueyao looked at him and showed a weak smile, "Just now, thank you very much, Master Xu."

"Miss, do you still thank him? I see, he and the second lady did it on purpose," the maid retorted loudly, and then whispered: "Knowing that you are getting engaged tomorrow, she still wants Master Xu to help you. She fell into the water. She was the one who pushed it, if Master Yuan sees this,"

The servant girl muttered worriedly and unconvinced, and said in the direction behind Cheng Xueyao: "Master Yuan."

Cheng Xueyao's body was obviously stiff. She slowly turned around and saw Yuan Chen standing on the bow of the boat with her hands behind her back. Her already pale complexion was as pale as Xue's pale, and she murmured three words: "Brother Yuan."

The servant girl said anxiously: "Young Master Yuan, don't get me wrong, it was the Second Miss who deliberately pushed my young lady and let Young Master Xu come down."

After Xin Nuo's discomfort subsided, she continued to watch the show quietly. At this time, she felt that it was time for her to appear, so she said, "How could Xu Ruqing listen to me?"

Xu Ruqing was not a fool. He understood what the maid meant just now, and also knew what Cheng Xueyao meant when she asked him to speak for her.

He took a step forward, looked at Xin Nuo, then at Cheng Xueyao, frowned and said, "Nuo'er, I will listen to you whatever you say, but this time, you went too far."

"So you think I'm going too far, so you're going to turn around and side with Cheng Xueyao?" Xin Nuo crossed his arms and said with interest: "Tell me, why did I ask you to go into the water to save Cheng Xueyao? I didn't want to corrupt you. ruined her reputation?"

The maid who was about to speak: How come these words came out of her mouth, so much like a conspiracy deliberately set by her own lady?
Cheng Xueyao's face was gloomy, Xu Ruqing said angrily: "Nuo'er, how can you be so temperamental, humiliate your sisters in public, but still be so confident?"

"Sister? Yes, she has been in the Cheng family for more than ten years under my identity as the half-sister of the daughter of the daughter of the Cheng family. She is already like this, and she still uses me to humiliate her?" Xin Nuo said funnyly .

Although the onlookers felt that this beautiful girl was a bit aggressive, what they said made sense after thinking about it carefully.

No, what half-sisters?
Many people who didn't know what happened to the Cheng family's child turned around to ask. For a while, there was a lot of noise around them, and Cheng Xueyao, whose abdominal pain was particularly relieved, was the center of the discussion.

Her plan to set up Cheng Nuo, reject Yuan Chen's engagement with legitimate reasons, and still keep him as a loyal person, didn't seem to have the desired effect.

Xu Ruqing was very dissatisfied with Cheng Nuo's refusal to give in. He turned around and bowed to Cheng Xueyao, "Miss Cheng, I apologize to you for this. It was only because of my confusion that I followed her evil plan."
