Chapter 78 Blind Date
Liufang Garden.

There are three poles in the sun, the sun is warm in winter, and a few plum blossoms are in full bloom.

Not far away is a teahouse with a thatched roof. In the teahouse, there is an Eight Immortals table with a pot of tea and various pastries on the table.

There are several people sitting on each side of the table.

On the east side is a middle-aged woman, leading a handsome young man, and standing behind him is a boy with swaying eyes.

The man was wearing a blue brocade robe with a high collar, handsome and shy. He looked up at the arrangement in the teahouse, and the memory suddenly came to him.

Sitting on the west side is also a middle-aged woman, holding a fair-faced young woman by the arm, and a fat maidservant stands behind her.

The young woman wore a double bun with two pale pink plum blossoms stuck in it, and a few strands of bangs hanging down naturally, half covering her pretty face.

"Mrs. Cheng, Ruixue of my family has just graduated from a women's high school, and the suitors... have almost broken the threshold of my family," said the middle-aged woman in khaki-colored sleeves, patting her hand triumphantly. The young lady's scalloped hands, "But since she...saw Mr. Ling last time, she said...she wanted to see you again, but Mr. Ling always said that he was busy with work and avoided seeing him."

"Mrs. Zhang, Jingzhi of my family is indeed busy with official duties. He became the young secretary of the Weiwei Mansion at a young age. He is usually so busy that he can't see anyone." Suddenly the conversation changed, "However... he is only a fourth-rank young minister, so I'm afraid he won't be able to catch the attention of Lord Shangshu. The Cheng family is now in decline, and I'm afraid that Jingzhi and Miss Ruixue... have no fate."

Mrs. Cheng snorted coldly in her heart, wasn't Zhang Shangshu very proud when he refused the marriage before?
In the past few days, she has let go and arranged several blind date parties for her son. What does it mean that the Zhang family has made an appointment to meet again at this time?
"Mrs. Cheng, in my opinion, these two children are quite destined." The woman with khaki-colored sleeves glanced at the maid behind her, who immediately handed over a food basket. Mrs. Zhang smiled and said, "This is Ruixue." The brown sugar cake I made by myself, I said... I want to give the two of you a taste."

The maid opened the lid of the food basket and brought out a stack of brown-red pastries.

"Why is this so embarrassing?" Mrs. Cheng looked a little embarrassed, and glanced at her son, "We... didn't bring any greetings."

"Ma'am, you're welcome." The girl in the pink dress on the opposite side smiled slightly, and shyly looked at the man in the blue robe. "It's just a pastry, not worth mentioning."

"Miss Zhang made it with her own hands. It's really rare. Let's try it," Mrs. Cheng said, poking her son's arm, "Jing Zhi, you have a taste too!"

This Miss Zhang family is quite well-behaved, dignified, beautiful and likable, and her family background is also one of the best in the capital. If you marry her as a daughter-in-law, why don't Mrs. Xiao and Mrs. Li envy them to death?
Thinking of this, Mrs. Cheng looked at Zhang Ruixue a few more times.

The man in the blue robe was originally looking at the sky, but his mother quickly pulled his mind back when he said that, glanced at the girl opposite, and said to Mrs. Cheng, "Mom, I... I don't eat candy."

"Just eat one piece!" Mrs. Cheng winked at her son, took another sip of tea with her head down, and wrote lightly, "After eating, go to the garden and pick a plum blossom for Ruixue."

"Mother!" Cheng Qian rolled his eyes and turned his face away, "This Liufang Garden is the garden of the public, if anyone breaks it, the plum blossoms on the tree will be gone long ago!"

"You!" Mrs. Cheng pointed at her son and thumped him on the back again, "I told you to break one, but didn't ask you to cut down the tree! Why haven't you been so civic-minded?"

"Okay, okay, I'll fold it!" Cheng Qian didn't eat the cake, so he stood up and led Qingyu to the garden.

The trees are full of plum blossoms, and other than that, the garden is in depression.

He couldn't help but think of the scene of bickering with Zhao Shuang in Liufang Garden that day. He didn't think much of it at the time, but now he feels that the memory is full of sweetness.

"Master, fold plum blossoms!" Seeing that his young master fell ill again, Qingyu hastily reminded him.

The man looked up and saw that the tree was full of pink and white plum blossoms, which made people ecstatic.

"Respect! Why have you been here for so long? Have you picked any plum blossoms?" Mrs. Cheng stood at the door of the teahouse and shouted at the top of her voice.

"Mom! Stop shouting!" Cheng Qian responded helplessly, then jumped up the tree to break off a plum blossom.

Suddenly hearing a barking of dogs from far to near, Cheng Qian and Qing Yu pricked up their ears.

"Master, there is a dog!" Qingyu hid behind him.

The man in the blue robe heard the dog barking, but his eyes were full of excitement. After a closer look, it turned out to be Ruo Ji.

A snow-white long-haired dog ran over erratically, seeing him frozen in place, he didn't dare to move for a moment.

"Ruoji!" He happily walked over and knelt down, stretched out his hands to rub the long-haired dog's face, and looked behind it, only to see a servant following him, and asked, "Where is your master?"

"Hey..." Ruo Ji was confused by his rubbing, and let out a hesitant hum.

He obviously remembered scratching this person's face last time, and thought that today's Yuanjialuzhai would inevitably lead to a big fight. Why is he not only not angry, but also very affectionate when he saw him?

Ruo Ji couldn't figure it out.

Xiang Fu quickly pulled the dog leash, and saluted Cheng Qian, "Cheng Shaoqing, my master is busy today, so I asked my servant to bring Ruo Ji to visit the garden."

"What is she busy with?" As soon as the words came out, Cheng Qian felt impolite again, and asked instead, "How are the Regent and Princess?"

"Also... nothing busy. The two had a quarrel last night, and now... maybe they are still sleeping." Xiang Fu said, looking up at the tall and handsome man, seeing that he was not wearing an official uniform today, and also Without a sword, he asked curiously, "Cheng Shaoqing also came to visit the garden today?"

It is not uncommon for a big man to come to admire the plum blossoms.

The blue-robed man was slightly absent-minded, still pondering the meaning of the waiter's words just now.

It was a noisy night, was it really a noisy night, or...

Cheng Qian suddenly felt a stabbing pain in his heart, making him dizzy.

After calming down, he pointed in the direction of the tea shop and replied, "I... accompany my mother to visit the garden."

Xiang Fu and Ruo Ji looked in the direction of the tea shop and saw several female family members sitting inside, with tea and pastries on the table, so they made a rough guess.

"My lord is... a blind date?" Xiang Fu smiled slightly, and seeing Cheng Qian nodding awkwardly, he pulled Ruo Ji's rope again and said, "Ruo Ji, let's go, don't disturb your lord's blind date."

"Woof!" Ruo Ji just ran a few steps, running happily, when she suddenly heard someone calling her from behind.

Looking back, I saw the slender blue figure chasing after him with strides.

Cheng Qian pulled out a rouge-colored plum blossom from behind, and handed it to Xiang Fu with both hands, "Elder-in-law, this plum blossom... please give it to the eldest princess for me, just say it is... a little favor from the lower official."

Xiang Fu accepted it suspiciously, and glanced in the direction of the teahouse, "Yes, Cheng Shaoqing, don't worry. My lord, go back quickly, don't let the girl wait for a long time."

Cheng Qian watched Ruoji and Xiang Fu walk away, then jumped a few times, and broke another plum blossom from the tree.

 Recently, I have been particularly negative, not good or bad.
