Chapter 96 Wen Qingrao
After Xie Xunfeng entered the Wen family mansion, he was attracted by the various lanterns inside.
This is the custom of Daxia.
When a girl reaches the age of coming of age, lanterns will be lit for her.
Write your wishes on the lanterns and hang them in front of the door.
If someone likes this girl, he will write his name under the lantern as a proposal of marriage.
The girl's parents can learn about the boy's character through the name on the lantern.
So that he could choose a good husband for his daughter.
Guan Chong looked at Xie Xunfeng's curious expression and explained.
He said jokingly, "Brother, I finally understand. The good news that Boss Cai mentioned is that Old Master Wen has taken a liking to you. He wants you to be the son-in-law of the Wen family."
Xie Xunfeng rolled his eyes at Guan Chong and said, "The Wen family's little girl has just reached the age of marriage. Do you think she is suitable for me?"
Guan Chong glanced at Xie Xunfeng and said, "Brother, you are only eighteen at most... Why do you describe yourself as an old man? Besides, the third princess has just passed the age of marriage, aren't you pursuing him too?"
Xie Xunfeng came to his senses when he heard Guan Chong say this.
He still felt like he was thinking like he was in his previous life when he was almost thirty years old.
"Miss Wen and I are not a good match, but you can try harder later. Who knows, you two can be a perfect match." Xie Xunfeng said to Guan Chong.
Guan Chong showed a disappointed expression and said, "Brother, if you really don't like her, I really want to pursue her. Although I have never met Miss Wen, I have heard of her. This Miss Wen is innocent, lively and cute! But how could Old Man Wen like me..."
Xie Xunfeng said to Guan Chong, "What's wrong with you? In terms of your background, you are the loyal and brave prince of Guan Wangfu. In terms of appearance, you are also handsome and talented. In terms of knowledge... you are also... anyway, you are not bad at all."
Guan Chong saw Xie Xunfeng and said, "Brother, you have good vision. Do you think I can give it a try?"
Xie Xunfeng smiled and said, "Of course, if you want to, as your elder brother, I will definitely help you."
When Guan Chong heard Xie Xunfeng talking, he said with gratitude on his face, "Brother, I feel like I, Guan Chong, have never done anything right in my life. But, I did this one big thing right, so I'll recognize you as my big brother!"
When Xie Xunfeng saw Guan Chong fawning on him, he thought that he was also a good candidate to be an official.
Led by Cai Shoucai, they went directly to a large reception room in the central hall.
At this time, Old Lady Wen was sitting in the middle, with many young talents sitting on both sides.
Sitting next to Old Man Wen was Mo Xiaonian, who had become Xie Xunfeng's disciple overnight.
Mo Xiaonian saw Xie Xunfeng and was about to stand up, but Xie Xunfeng stopped him with his eyes.
The two men stepped forward and bowed to Old Man Wen.
"Thank you so much, Young Master and Prince Guan, for honoring me with coming to attend my daughter's coming-of-age ceremony. Please take a seat..." Old Master Wen said politely with a smile on his face.
Old Master Wen managed to arrange a seat near the front for them.
As soon as the two men sat down, Yuan Yuan and Lin Ru followed closely.
As soon as they both entered the house.
All the scholars and noble families in the room, except Xie Xunfeng and Guan Chong, stood up to greet him.
Old Master Wen also greeted them with a smile and invited them to their seats.
…
Behind the screen on the other side of the room.
A very lively-looking girl was checking behind the screen.
Although this girl still has a bit of childishness on her face, if you only look at her graceful figure, even some mature women would be jealous.
This girl is none other than Old Master Wen’s youngest daughter, Wen Qingrao.
"Sister Qingyin, who are those two people? Why are they so impressive that all the scholars stand up to greet them?" Wen Qingrao looked at Yuan Yuan and Lin Ru and asked Cai Shoucai's sister Cai Qingyin.
"One is Yuan Yuan, the eldest son of the Yuan family in Jiaodong. The other is Lin Ru, the young master of Linxianzhuang. Both of them are famous! Especially Lin Ru, who is said to be quite talented. It is said that scholars are willing to call him the leader of the younger generation! It is said that he came here for you this time." Cai Qingyin said in a low voice.
Wen Qingrao said with a disdainful expression, "Outstanding? Is he calling himself that? On the field today, aren't Brother Mo Xiaonian and Brother Xie Xunfeng more talented than him?"
Cai Qingyin smiled faintly and saw Wen Qingrao looking at Xie Xunfeng, then she said, "Of course he can't compare to her. Sister Qingrao, don't blame me for being nosy. It's OK that you like Mr. Mo. As for Mr. Xie, you must not fall in love with him. Although Mr. Xie is very talented, he has a complicated life experience. Moreover, I heard from my brother that he is deeply in love with the third princess..."
Before Cai Qingyin finished speaking, Wen Qingrao playfully replied to her, "Sister Qingyin, what are you thinking about... I have heard a lot about the love story between Brother Xie Xunfeng and Sister Xiao Yiran. I just admire men like this. Besides, a good woman doesn't serve two husbands. I, Wen Qingrao, must find someone who loves me, cares for me, and is willing to give up everything for me!"
