Chapter 138
Since she wants to live with Xu Mu for the rest of her life, Yinhua wants him to focus on her. She will naturally be filial to his parents, but if he plots against her, she will plot back.She has seen a lot of these things in Chang'an. In fact, the moves she used were not very clever. Fortunately, she was married into the Xu family.

When Sun and the others left Lijiacun, they were quite worried about Yinhua. After arriving in Chang'an, even if they were worried, they could only relax.The two families agreed that after the Qingming Festival next year, Xu Mu would come back to Chang'an with the people who returned home to worship their ancestors. It is impossible for Yinhua to have any troubles in Xu's family in the past half a year, and besides, Aunt Li is still in the same village. Look at it.

Thinking about it this way, Mrs. Sun still couldn't let it go, and she didn't have the time to take care of Zhuhua when she arrived in Chang'an.She remembered that she seemed to have something to do, and it wasn't until the end of the year that she realized, yes, her third daughter's marriage has not yet been settled, and she will be seventeen in a blink of an eye.

"Ah Zhu's marriage, how are you doing?" Mrs. Sun asked Cheng Dashan privately.

"It's almost done, don't worry." Cheng Dashan patted his chest.

Mrs. Sun always felt uneasy, but it was the end of the year, and it was too late to look for it this year, so she let Cheng Dashan do it.

Zhuhua didn't know about this. After returning to Chang'an, she calmed down and finished the story of the spider baby. If she didn't, she heard that the doll shop would be surrounded by children and couldn't open. There was also a bookstore Asking her to discuss publishing a storybook, Zhuhua thought that since someone came to promote the store and she still had money to collect it, why not do it?Even for the royalties, she had to finish the painting.

After handing in the manuscript, she designed a new batch of dolls. After all, the shop was open, so if she didn't care about it, she would be paying Yinhua rent for nothing.As soon as the work was over, she saw that Mrs. Sun didn't seem to take care of her much, so she went to the residence of Duke Wuguo for a banquet.

In fact, when she first returned to Chang'an, she asked someone to send some earthen ceremonies to her. She knew that there was nothing missing in Mrs. Wu's house, but it was out of her heart.At that time, she had no plan to show up at Duke Wuying's Mansion, she always thought that Mrs. Sun would start to arrange blind dates for her frequently when she arrived in Chang'an.Unexpectedly, she waited day after day, and rushed to finish all the work in hand, just to make time for the blind date, but Sun didn't move at all.After observing for a while, she was sure that Mrs. Sun didn't seem to have thought of this, so she slipped away to Duke Wu's mansion.

"I haven't seen you here for a long time, a stranger from another country. I thought you would wait until you get married?" Zi Shu joked.

"The guest from another country" is Zhuhua's pen name for the story of the spider baby. Now not many people know that Zhuhua wrote the story, and many think that Zhuhua asked someone to write it.

Zhuhua laughed and said, "Sister is used to making fun of me, if I don't come, what will you do if you miss me?"

"You are not a handsome young man, what do I want you to do?"

"It turns out that my sister wants to have a handsome offspring, I'll tell the heroine." Zhuhua joked.

"You, it seems that you are the only one with a mouth." Zi Shu complained while pulling her sleeve.

Zhuhua didn't continue talking about this matter, and asked: "Are there any new faces in the mansion these days, I heard that the most beautiful man in Chang'an often comes?"

"I thought you didn't come because you were afraid to see the most beautiful man and feel ashamed?" Zi Shu replied, as a tacit consent, and also as recognition of the identity of the most beautiful man in Chang'an.

There are quite a few brothels in Chang’an, and there is a new Qingzhu Pavilion that has a young bamboo man who plays the piano well, elegant and handsome. The woman fought for him in the street.No matter how low the world's requirements for women are, no one can accept such a thing.For this matter, the women in Chang'an restrained themselves for a while, and even fewer people went shopping in the streets.But now that the limelight has passed, the ladies of various families appeared on the street again. Many people were still curious about Mr. Qingzhu's appearance, and went to the street in front of the Qingzhu Pavilion to wait together.

Because of the woman's fight, Mr. Qingzhu became very famous, but he didn't make friends with high officials and nobles because of it. He still lived in seclusion as before, and only went to the homes of a few adults he could talk to to play the piano and serve banquets.Duke Wuguo's residence also invited him once, during the banquet he played a newly composed piece and asked Bai Yizhi for a lyric.Bai Yizhi wrote a poem on the spot, and sang a section accompanied by Young Master Qingzhu's piano. Wu Xiangxiang became aroused when he heard it, and asked someone to take Yu Xiao to reconcile a section.All the famous people came to this banquet, and I heard that everyone started to sing along, and the news spread throughout Chang'an, and this song is also widely sung in Chang'an city.

When Zhuhua heard about this, she wondered, is Mr. Qingzhu the famous musician in history?She remembered that there was a powerful musician in this era who had collaborated with Bai Yizhi on music, and some people jokingly called Bai Yizhi and him the "green and white combination".There are not many records about musicians in history. Zhuhua didn't memorize things outside the scope of the syllabus back then.However, she had the impression that it wasn't Young Master Qingzhu, she would definitely remember such an earthy name when she saw it in history books.

When she followed Zi Shu to the banquet venue, Mr. Qing Zhu hadn't come yet. She had met Wu Xiangxiang, and went to chat with Bai Yizhi who had already had a drink.Ever since Bai Yizhi recognized her as the lady who paid the money that day, he praised her very much and praised her for her chivalrous spirit.Zhuhua was also happy to chat with Shixian. Based on her experience, the two got along quite well, and could respond to his occasional cynical remarks, but she thought in her heart that Shixian and her were in the second stage of middle school in their previous lives. My brother is quite similar.

While the two were talking, out of the corner of their eye they saw a new person coming in.The banquets in Duke Wuguo's mansion are always very relaxed, people come in but no one informs them, but Bai Yizhi's eyes lit up, he pulled Zhuhua and said: "Sanniang, I will bring you to meet a new friend, he is like you, a stranger from another country. Now it is very famous in Chang'an."

"How can you be famous?" Zhuhua said, but she still turned her head to look at the past. Regarding the matter of looking at beautiful men, she has not restrained herself in Wu Gongying's mansion.

The moment Zhuhua saw Mr. Green Bamboo, she felt that a super-definition person was suddenly mixed into a standard-definition video. This face with the ultimate beautification effect made Zhuhua, who claims to be a high-end face, want to cover her face with a cloth .

"Haha, I didn't expect you to be stunned sometimes?" Bai Yizhi beside him teased.

Zhuhua came back to her senses and rolled her eyes, "You don't want to attract my attention. Now that I've seen Young Master Qingzhu astonished, I'll look at other people... I won't even notice it."

Wu Xiangxiang couldn't help laughing when she heard her words from above, and asked pretending to be angry: "What about my father?"

"Wu Yinggong is naturally ranked first among women, and of course, I am ranked second."

"How dare you say it, you're all in front of me." Zi Shu teased.

Zhu Hua stepped forward, grabbed Zi Shu's sleeve, and said with a smile: "My good sister, let me, I won't be able to get married soon."

"Seeing you are pitiful, I will let you go." Zi Shu nodded her head and said.

Zhuhua smiled, and by the way, met the young master Qingzhu who was standing beside her, took the opportunity to take a closer look at him, then turned her head and complained to Wu Xiangxiang: "Mr. , how can I say dear?"

Wu Guogong smiled and said, "There are many men who are prettier than you, how can you blame so many people?"

"But I don't know anyone else, I only know this one in front of me." Zhuhua said, and looked at Mr. Qingzhu's face again, afraid that he would care. After all, some beautiful men hate being called beautiful, as if others call him ugly. Don't insult him in general.

"Miss, thank you." Mr. Qingzhu said modestly.

When hearing his voice, Zhuhua suddenly thought of the phrase that no one is perfect.Yes, Mr. Qingzhu has a face that can be seen from a close distance, but he doesn't have a good voice.His voice was very hoarse, as if he had suffered some damage.He is used to others being slightly stunned when they hear his voice, and he is also used to others showing pity and sympathy to him after being slightly stunned.

Zhuhua is a layman, and she can't be exempt from it, so she murmured in a low voice: "Heaven does not allow people to be too perfect."

Mr. Qingzhu has excellent hearing, so he naturally heard her words, but he lowered his head and smiled, and Wu Xiangxiang who was beside him also paused for a moment.Zhuhua immediately came back to her senses, and said: "I heard that you are very good at playing the piano, I don't know if a layman like me is lucky enough to listen to you playing a piece of music."

"I'm so happy." He was here to play the piano.

After sitting down, he plucked the strings and played a piece.This is an extremely cheerful song, and Zhuhua finds it lively when listening to it, but behind the extreme excitement, there is a constant sad sound.She listened carefully, but forgot to think about Young Master Qingzhu's appearance.This is probably a manifestation of his superb piano skills, Zhuhua thought to himself.Listening to the music, Bai Yizhi got up and swayed with the music while holding the wine glass. Zhuhua spotted it from the corner of his eye and thought he was in an ancient costume bar.Bai Yizhi rose up, swinging alone was not enough, the row pulled Zhuhua in, Zhuhua got up helplessly, shaking her body slightly, but Wu Xiangxiang looked at it with concern.

After the song was over, Zhuhua applauded and returned to her seat, Young Master Qingzhu went to sit down at the same table with Bai Yizhi, and chatted.Zhuhua always sat at the top with Wu Xiangxiang, but she couldn't talk to Young Master Qingzhu.When they were leaving, the two walked together, Zhuhua wanted to talk to him for a while, but she didn't know what to talk about, and she didn't know if Master Qingzhu would like to talk to others, so she just reluctantly looked at him in front of the door. Mr. Qingzhu got into the carriage and walked first.

"It's really good-looking." Zhuhua said with emotion.

"I have never seen such a good-looking young master before, unfortunately, he is not a decent man." Qiu Chu said with emotion.

Zhuhua patted her on the head and said, "You know a lot."

Qiu Chu moved his mouth, not daring to say anything, but after getting into the carriage, he heard Zhu Hua's advice: "Don't tell mother."

It's just that even if Qiuchu didn't tell her, Sun's fact that Zhuhua had been to Duke Wu's mansion couldn't be kept secret.At first, Sun didn't care, she knew that even if Zhuhua went, she would just sit there, she wouldn't even drink, and she couldn't do anything stupid.But others' comments caught Sun's attention, Zhuhua and Bai Yizhi?Who is that?

Mrs. Sun didn't care about the rookies in Chang'an City, and she was afraid that she would be blocked if she knew about it.Fang Jiulang, who was the most popular a few days ago, once married Zhuhua, but she and Zhuhua didn't agree.Now, if the Fang family came again, she might still not respond, but she would persuade Zhuhua a few more words, and if she persuaded Zhuhua to nod, then she would also nod.This is the No. [-] scholar. Fang Jiulang, a double No. [-] scholar from the Fang family, has a third-ranked No. [-] student. No matter where he is placed in the future, he will do well no matter where he is placed.If Zhuhua accepted such a respectable marriage, her two elder sisters would also be able to look at the scenery, so that others would not laugh at her for picking a son-in-law.It's a pity that Zhuhua would not agree, she just thought about it in her heart, and she would not reveal it to Zhuhua.

Now that Zhuhua has got involved with a talented scholar again, and she heard that she is still a famous figure in Beijing, she wonders if she can succeed this time.But when someone asked her, she felt that Bai Yizhi was not good. If she really became her son-in-law, she was afraid that she would break his legs, including the third one.But this child Zhuhua occasionally has a different way of thinking from ordinary people, maybe she failed to see Shang Jiulang, but instead fell in love with Bai Yizhi, this is not acceptable.

She asked Ruyan to go to Qiuchu to find out, but Qiuchu said that Zhuhua didn't mean that, and it was all misrepresented by outsiders.Sun was a little relieved, but also worried that Qiuchu had heard Zhuhua's words and dared not tell her the truth.Zhuhua heard Qiuchu's back and forth about this matter, but had no choice but to go to Sun's side to express her "sincerity".

"Mother, it's all at the end of the year. Have you prepared all the New Year's gifts for each family? Why do I think you're a little free recently?"

"Free?" Mrs. Sun glanced at Zhuhua.

Zhuhua immediately smiled flatteringly and said: "Mother is happy to be a daughter if she can relax a little bit. I'm afraid that mother will be restless, and she will think about other things when she has free time, and even take those irrelevant words as truth."

"Who am I doing this for?" Sun patted Zhuhua's side angrily.

Zhuhua held her shoulder that hurt from being patted, and said with a bitter face, "Of course it's because of my unmarried daughter."

"You can count."

Zhuhua smiled, sat down beside Mrs. Sun, and sighed, "I'm also really worried now. You said that my daughter wants to be talented and beautiful, and I want to have character. Why doesn't anyone come to propose marriage? Isn't that right?" They think their daughter is too good, and they are afraid that they will not be able to climb high?"

"You didn't even like Fang Jiulang, who would dare to come?"

"It's because of this, it's still Niang Yingming." Zhuhua pretended to be surprised.

"Come on, can you tell me if there is someone in your heart?"

"Mother, don't you know me yet?" Zhuhua rolled her eyes in disgust, slapped her chest and said, "I only have money in my heart now."

"Don't shoot your chest, it will be really flat." Sun joked, and couldn't help frowning. Over the years, her tone of voice when talking to Zhuhua has always been misleading. This child didn't learn it from anywhere. Tune.

Zhuhua immediately put down her hand, then nodded fearfully, "I won't take pictures anymore, after that my child will have no food."

"You find your son-in-law before we talk about it."

"Yes, I will work harder and strive to get engaged and married in one step next year."

After hearing this, Mrs. Sun softened her tone, and said, "For engagement, we have to wait a little longer to get married. You will only be seventeen next year. Besides, if you get married next year, what will you do with this mess at home?"

Zhuhua couldn't help laughing when she heard it, and pretended to be serious and said: "Why don't we recruit a son-in-law?"

"Don't worry about it, with your brother here, what kind of son-in-law do you want?"

"Mother, what's the door-to-door son-in-law?" Changzi came back from school, ran all the way into the courtyard, and asked after hearing what Sun and Zhuhua said.

Dabao and Erbao, who were following behind him, also looked over curiously, thinking to themselves, the third sister wants to recruit a son-in-law?This is great!
Changzi was also happy, he had already pulled Sun Shi excitedly and asked: "Mother, if you recruit a son-in-law and sister-in-law, you don't need to get married?"

"What nonsense, your sister and I were joking just now, what kind of door-to-door son-in-law? No! Your sister may get married next year."

"No." Changzi turned his head and grabbed Zhuhua's hand, saying viciously: "If someone dares to marry my sister away, I will break his legs, including the third one."

Zhuhua laughed secretly, but Sun slapped his butt again angrily, "You're itchy again, aren't you?"

"I don't itch. Let me see who dares to itch!"

"You..." Sun was so angry that he wanted to beat him again.

Zhuhua guarded his intestines that were about to be beaten, pulled him aside, and said to Sun: "Mother, forget it, my brother is still young."

"Just get used to it." Sun said angrily.

The positions of the two of them have changed today, in the past it was Zhuhua who wanted to punish others to persuade them.It was rare for Zhuhua to gently touch the head of Changzi, and said: "If my sister can't get married, I will rely on you to raise her in the future."

"Don't worry, I can support you forever."

"We can raise it now." Dabao Erbao said, they have Lao Hei's inheritance in their hands, and the Cheng family used to help manage it. This year, Dabao is [-] years old, and Cheng Dashan will let Dabao know how much property the Bai family has, so that He also has a bottom line in his heart.Dabao has a clever mind, and once he does the math, he knows that the family can still afford to support one more person.

"Okay, you're all good kids, you still have to study hard, get the number one scholar or something, if you can't do it, you have to pass the exam, so I can make my sister look good." Zhuhua pretended to be moved.

It's a pity that Changzi's words made her fail in a second.

"Sister, you are asking too much."

Zhuhua immediately stopped being moved, and was so angry that she twisted her intestines, which made Sun feel relieved.

"Go, go, practice calligraphy."

"Yes."

Before the three of them left, Erbao turned his head and looked at Zhuhua, wondering if he should tell Zhuhua about seeing Uncle Cheng at the gate of the courtyard just now, but after thinking about it, it was normal for Uncle Cheng to appear in the main courtyard, and it was nothing. Oddly enough, it was thrown away.However, Cheng Dashan, who just came back, heard Zhuhua's words in the courtyard that he couldn't get married, so he left solemnly.

On the other side, Wu Xiangxiang was also talking about Zhuhua's marriage. She has been with Zhuhua a lot these years, and she likes the child's temperament very much, so she also hopes that she can marry a good family.Maybe it's because she's old, but now she wants to see people get married and have a full moon like a woman in the world.

"I think she really has thoughts about Yizhi, otherwise why would she not even pay attention to Qingzhu?"

"Didn't she stare dumbfounded?" Zi Shu asked after pouring wine for Wu Xiangxiang.

"It will happen every now and then, so I can't count it."

"If Miss Cheng San fell in love with Mr. Qingzhu, wouldn't it be worse?" Yin Xi said from the side.

Wu Xiangxiang smiled and said: "If she really likes Qingzhu, and the two of them want to stay together forever, it's not difficult. At worst, marrying someone who is useless, she will buy another house outside and leave it to Qingzhu."

"If she really likes Qingzhu, she might really dare to do this." Zi Shu joked.

"But she's looking at Yizhi. Zhuhua's vision is not bad, why do you think a man is so blind?"

Thinking of Zhuhua's respect for Wu Xiangxiang, Yin Xi pursed her lips and said, "There are quite a few people out there who admire Mr. Bai."

"That's all false. Chang'an City has never lacked such people who go along with the flow and make the icing on the cake."

The three of them were talking, when Tu Wu came in, she heard a few words from the outside, and looked at the three of them hesitantly after she finished her reply.

 Drunk and sang and spent the day in vain, who is the domineering hero——Wu Xiangxiang
