Ying Ning asked back: "Why are you disappointed?"

"I think you should want me to be the number one scholar." Lu Qinghan said, "After all, you gave me such a good article. To be honest, I can't write that kind of article."

"Yes, that article is too smooth and sophisticated, you can't do it." Yingning looked at him, "I can't do it either."

Lu Qinghan was thoughtful.

Yingning smiled and said, "So, you didn't use that article."

"No." Lu Qinghan looked frank.

"That's good." Yingning said with a smile, "If you use it, I will be disappointed instead."

Lu Qinghan raised his eyebrows: "So you are using this article to test me?"

"Even so."

"Are you satisfied?"

"Extremely satisfied."

"That's really, really great." Lu Qinghan's expression obviously relaxed.

Yingning smiled and asked, "Are you worried?"

"Yes. I'm worried that I'll disappoint you so much that I don't want to marry me again."

"You can learn from your real talent," Ying Ning smiled, "of course, and your looks, how can I be disappointed if I win Tanhualang."

Lu Qinghan blushed slightly, and said with a smile: "For a man, it doesn't matter whether he looks good or not. Sometimes being too good is a burden instead."

"If the second elder brother hears your words, I'm afraid he will be angry again."

"He's not really angry." Lu Qinghan looked at her beautiful face, and said firmly, "Before I came, I went to the mansion to pay homage to Lord Hou and his wife, and I also invited a matchmaker to come and hire her. Both Lord Hou and his wife agreed Yes. I still want to ask Yingning, are you still willing to marry me? If you don’t, it’s still too late to regret it now.”

Ying Ning raised her eyebrows: "The master is not at home, nor has he seen the betrothal gift, so you just offer the betrothal, is that appropriate?"

Lu Qinghan stood up, took out a quaint brocade box, held it in front of Yingning with both hands, and said: "My family is poor, and I can't get any decent dowry. This pair of bracelets is a family heirloom. Ruo Yingning will not dislike it." , to you."

Ying Ning took the box, opened it, and inside was a pair of excellent-looking imperial green imperial concubine bracelets.

"Wow." Ying Ning admired, "With such a pair of bracelets, your family can't be said to be poor."

Lu Qinghan smiled and said: "My family's ancestors used to be prosperous, but then fell into poverty, leaving only dozens of acres of land and this pair of bracelets. My mother said that this bracelet is for the future daughter-in-law, and the girl is willing to marry the Lu family as a daughter-in-law. , the Lu family can't even come up with a decent dowry."

"Then I would like to thank Aunt Lu." Yingning returned the box to him.

"Aren't you willing to take it?" Lu Qinghan asked softly.

"No." Ying Ning stretched out her hands, "I want you to put them on for me."

A look of joy flashed in Lu Qinghan's eyes, and he immediately took out the bracelet and put it on for her.

"Does it look good?" Ying Ning shook her wrist, and Jin Yu made a jingle sound.

"Only Ying Ning's stunning beauty deserves this bracelet."

"In the future, when I'm old and ugly, I don't deserve this bracelet, so I should return it to you?" Yingning teased him.

"Even if Yingning gets old, in my eyes, she will always be the prettiest."

"If you are so good at talking, I will reward you with a plate of cherries." Ying Ning pushed the plate to him.

Lu Qinghan ate the cherries and chatted with her: "The emperor gave me and your second elder brother an errand to work in the Imperial Academy. I will pick you up when Lord Hou and Madam decide on a date."

"Okay." Yingning drank tea unhurriedly, and said with a smile, "Young master Lu, you don't have any other questions, do you want to ask me?"
