Chapter 206 Rust Smell
Not long after, the He family's carriage carrying a group of four people arrived at the Huguo Temple on the outskirts of Beijing.
This was not the first time that Zhao Mianmian came to the Huguo Temple, so the audience in the live broadcast room no longer had their previous curiosity.
Except for a few young fans who joined the live broadcast later, no one clamored for the host to take them around, so Zhao Mianmian was lazy and followed Qin Shuyu obediently.
Several members of the He family met Madam Lu and Old Madam Lu in the Huguo Temple, accompanied by two concubines who were raised by Madam Lu.
Mrs. Lu and Old Madam Lu were very satisfied with He Xulan and each gave her a gift.
Zhao Mianmian took a secret look and saw a flower-shaped gold hairpin inlaid with turquoise and a green jade bracelet with peacock flower patterns.
The hairpin and bracelet sparkled brilliantly in the sunlight. They were obviously good things, which made Zhao Mianmian's eyes light up. She quickly stood out from behind Qin Shuyu.
When Madam Lu and Old Madam Lu saw Zhao Mianmian beside Qin Shuyu, they immediately curled their lips and smiled kindly:
"Who is this……"
Qin Shuyu then openly introduced Zhao Mianmian to his fans.
Zhao Mianmian has been in Beijing for nearly two years and is already familiar with this process.
When she heard Qin Shuyu introducing herself to others, she took a step forward, bent her knees slightly, and performed a standard greeting.
However, when Jian Fuli saw him, he only said "What a poor child" and nothing more happened. Zhao Mianmian was so angry that he blew his beard and glared in the live broadcast room:
[No, that's it? ? ]
Barrage:
[Hahahaha, host, what are you looking forward to? ]
[What are you looking forward to? ? What else can you expect? Of course, the welcome gift!
I just saw that they gave He Xulan a bracelet and a gold hairpin, but when it came to the anchor, there was nothing. Hahahaha]
[Oh my god, is this true? Did I forget about it, or didn’t know the host was coming, so I didn’t prepare? ]
[What are you talking about? This kind of meeting is not a sudden idea. They must have communicated with each other long ago. How could they not know that the He family would bring a young lady here? ]
[Hahaha, that’s right! In my opinion, the Lu family did it on purpose.
Either they are stingy and want to refuse a gift, or they look down on us and think that our anchor is just an orphan who lives under someone else's roof and don't take her seriously at all. 】
[Fuck, what the hell is the He family talking about? If they ignore our host today, they will ignore the He family tomorrow!
If you ask me, you should just stop visiting this Huguo Temple and go home as soon as possible. 】
[It’s true that the emperor is not anxious, but the eunuchs are. The He family is not anxious either, so why are you anxious? Besides, today the two families are just looking at each other, and there is no direct engagement. Why are you here talking nonsense! ]
【Hahahaha, that’s true.】
In fact, Zhao Mianmian didn't have to accept this gift.
But the two ladies of the Lu family actually did this in front of everyone, which made people feel uncomfortable.
Since the purpose of today was to find someone for Xu Lan, Zhao Mianmian didn't dare to do anything weird to cause trouble for herself, so she just curled her lips, turned her butt, and went to play nearby.
Only Qin Shuyu and Old Madam He looked at each other and frowned slightly.
The two female relatives stayed in the Huguo Temple for half a day and had lunch together.
After the hour of Wei, they said goodbye at the foot of the mountain and went back to their homes.
The He family returned in the same carriage they took when they came.
However, the Lu family actually sent the second son Lu Yuqing, who was engaged to He Xulan, to pick her up in person.
Amid the chatter of the female relatives, Zhao Mianmian saw with her own eyes the famous Second Son of the Lu family.
I have to say that Lu Yuqing's appearance and temperament are really good. Even in this wealthy area of the capital, he can be considered one of the best.
The only thing that people can find fault with... is age.
Lu Yuqing is already in his twenties this year, and is actually two years older than He Shiqian. According to the ancient mentality of getting married first and then starting a career, he shouldn't have wasted time until now.
Mrs. Lu explained that Lu Yuqing's marriage was originally arranged, but the other party's sister fell seriously ill.
The Lu family couldn't bear to cancel the engagement, so they waited for the other party for several years.
As a result, Miss Fang couldn't hold on for two years and died. The Lu family had no choice but to hurriedly find a new partner for Lu Yuqing.
[I didn't realize that Lu Yuqing is such a sentimental person.]
[What's the point of this relationship? This is arranged by the parents and matchmaker. They are not childhood sweethearts. Where does the relationship come from? ]
[He has no feelings for me, but he still waited for me for so many years? What? Is he trying to establish a chastity memorial arch for himself? ]
[Hahahaha, what the hell is this chastity arch? You guys are too mean.]
[Actually, we are not being mean. I don’t know why, but I feel that there is something strange about the Lu family…]
[What's so strange about this? Lu Yuqing is a modest gentleman, gentle as jade, with a good family background and good looks. If the Fang family's daughter hadn't died before she got married, it wouldn't have been He Xulan's turn to pick up the slack.]
[I don’t know. I have a feeling that I can’t describe.]
[Alright, alright, if you ask me, don't feel that way. It's not our anchor getting married anyway, why are you worrying so much? ]
[Oh, I'm just sitting around doing nothing~]
After the wife and daughter of the family got on the carriage, the He family's coachman put away the stool.
He just shook the reins and shouted, and the carriage swayed towards the north gate under the gaze of the Lu family.
In the carriage, Qin Shuyu and Old Madam He were discussing the Lu family in a low voice, while He Xulan pricked up her ears and listened carefully, occasionally interjecting a few words.
Only Zhao Mianmian and Aqiu Aqiu sneezed more than a dozen times, rubbing their noses while typing on the public screen:
[No, where does the smell of rust come from? ? ]
Barrage:
【? ? ? ? ? 】
[Anchor, your dog's nose is itchy again? ]
**
The audience in the live broadcast room analyzed for a long time but could not figure out why there was a smell of rust in the air.
It wasn't until Zhao Mianmian saw someone in her own yard late at night, someone who would never appear in Linlan Courtyard at this time -
Thanks.
Xie Chen came to deliver something to Zhao Mianmian.
He climbed into Linlan Courtyard with familiarity, stuffed a palm-sized object into Zhao Mianmian's palm, and said in a low voice:
"This is what the Grand Tutor asked me to deliver. I don't know what's inside. When no one is around, Miss Zhao can open it and take a look by herself."
Zhao Mianmian: “???”
Xiao Haizhou?
Give her something?
At this time? ?
Zhao Mianmian was completely confused. She didn't know what she had done to deserve the old man to use the Xuanlin Guards to come to the He family to deliver something to her.
She only knew that as soon as she got the small box, a huge system prompt popped up on the public screen:
【Coins+】
The fans in the live broadcast room started to make a fuss:
[I am awesome, but it has to be my father Xiao. 】
[Dad Xiao really knows whether something is good or not with just one move. He just casually gave our anchor something worth 20,000 gold coins! ]
[Host, please open it and see what Dad Xiao gave you? ]
[Why are you in such a hurry? This is such a small box, it can't be a banknote, right? ]
[Well, silver bills are good, but they are hard to come by. In fact, no matter what it is, as long as it is valuable, the host can just spend some time to cash it out later. ]
As he spoke, Zhao Mianmian had already opened the small box in his hand.
Inside was a small jade purse, only the size of an adult's knuckle.
There is a hint of yellow at the opening of the bag, and it is carved into the shape of a copper coin.
The style is very common, but it made the audience in the live broadcast room gasp in amazement on the public screen.
Because this small purse is not carved from ordinary white jade, but red jade——
The priceless Hetian red jade!!
