The beauty raised by Lord Hou is a black lotus

Chapter 3
The young man paused for a moment, then smiled and said: "In addition to the books that should be read, I also read miscellaneous books such as "The Stolen Code", "Treasure Appraisal", and "Feng Shui Tomb".

After he finished speaking, he saw He Yao holding a white jade fan, her almond eyes opened wide in bewilderment.

He lowered his eyes, this little lady is a scholar at first glance, she has read countless books on weekdays, probably the titles of the books he made up casually have been seen through!

While he was thinking about countermeasures, He Yao was also racking his brains.

He is worthy of being a man who will rise to great heights in the court in the future. The young Marquis is indeed well-read in poetry and books.

It's a pity that she doesn't read much, and she doesn't know what books they are, so she might only expose her ignorance and make him laugh at her by answering her words hastily.

After a while, she forced herself to smile softly and said: "I have also heard about these books. They are books that only the most knowledgeable doctors in the palace will study. The young marquis is really good at reading these at such a young age."

The young man couldn't help secretly heaving a sigh of relief when he saw that he had fooled around.

The car journey was long, and the atmosphere in the car fell into awkward silence again.

After drinking half a cup of tea, the young man randomly picked a topic, "I wonder He Xiaopingguo - no, what are Miss He's hobbies in her daily life?"

Hobby?

He Yao cheered up. She loved dancing with a gun and sword, and was a good rider, archer and hunter!
She is especially good at using the red tassel spear. Her grandfather taught her how to shoot when she was young. She can defeat ten strong men with one red tassel spear. She is not one of those delicate little ladies in the boudoir who can only embroider and play the piano!

However, if this kind of interest is spoken out, I am afraid that it will scare the other party.

He Yao held the embroidered handkerchief in a pretentious manner and whispered softly: "I like reading and writing the most on weekdays. I am also quite skilled in embroidery and playing the piano. My pipa is the best. Even the Queen once praised my pipa."

She doesn't know how to play the pipa. The young lady in Luojing City who is the best at the pipa is her elder sister, and the person praised by the Queen is also her elder sister. However, this does not prevent her from bragging.

The young man praised: "Young lady is both talented and beautiful. If you have the chance, I must listen to your pipa."

He Yao smiled all over her face, "Young master, can you play any musical instruments?"

What musical instruments do you play?
Does the suona music played by the young man at someone else's funeral count after he had a sip of tea?
He said hypocritically: "I'm good at playing the flute."

He Yao clapped her hands, "Young Lord Hou is really elegant, I like listening to the flute the most!"

The old man who was driving the calf cart listened eagerly outside, and interjected: "There is a pipa and a bamboo flute in the carriage. The little lady and the young man can play a piece together now, and let me open my eyes!"

He Yao: "..."

I thank you!
She managed to keep smiling, "Young Master is exhausted, why don't you play the flute another day?"

The young man immediately agreed, "It's very hard for the little lady to come to pick me up, so it's better not to play the pipa. We can talk about the ensemble at another time."

He Yao smiled, "Good day, good day!"

Finally returning to He Mansion, He Yao handed the boy over to Butler Liu, and went back to the boudoir by herself.

She drank a cup of green apricot tea and breathed a long sigh of relief. She had to hold her throat while talking to that young master, and she had to pay attention to her manners all the time, it was really exhausting.

"Girl!" Chun Nong suddenly barged in, with unconcealed anxiety on his face, "Didn't you go to break off the engagement? Why did you bring the young marquis back to your home?! In this case, what will happen to the husband of the Wei family? Mr. Wei Jialang has been waiting for you!"

He Yao pretended to be distressed, "He is just a nerd. He has no relatives in Luojing and has never been far away. He was so frightened as soon as he got off the boat. When he saw me, he felt like he was seeing a Bodhisattva who saves people in trouble. He insisted on going back to his hometown with me and let me do whatever he wanted. It was useless to refuse in every possible way. I really couldn’t help it, so I took him back.”

Chun Nong bit her lip, "Young girl is confused. As the saying goes, it's easy to invite a god but hard to send him away. You invited him home, but you can never drive him away again!"

He Yao held her face in both hands, and innocently opened her eyes, "Then what should I do?"

Chun Nong paced around the room, then suddenly turned around and said, "Elope!"

He Yao pretended to be surprised, "Elope?"

"Yes, elope with Mr. Wei's family!" Chun Nong said to himself, and started to pack his luggage on his own initiative, "Mr. Wei's love for you is as deep as the sea, you can go over the wall and go to him tonight! As long as tonight, you He is a member of Mr. Wei's family, even if he is a general, he can only accept this marriage with his nose!"

elopement……

A trace of haze flashed across He Yao's clear apricot eyes.

In her previous life, her mind was filled with water, so she would do such a stupid thing as abandoning her dear ones for a man!
If she does it again in this life, it's no wonder that others will laugh at her as an idiot!
She blinked her long eyelashes and said softly: "It's easy to climb over the wall and leave the house, but I haven't seen Brother Jiuqing for several days, and I'm afraid he has forgotten me... Going to his house rashly, if he doesn't What if he is willing to take me in? I don’t care, he has to come to pick me up at the back door tonight in person before I can believe his deep affection!"

Chun Nong hesitated for a moment and said with a smile: "It's simple. I will quietly go to the Wei Mansion for you and ask Mr. Wei of the Wei family to come and pick you up tonight!"

He Yao said meaningfully, "Then you are really my good sister..."

That night.

An ordinary carriage quietly stopped at the back door of He Mansion.

The curtains of the car were drooped, and rare luminous pearls hung inside, illuminating the car as bright as day.

A young man was sitting in the car, flipping through a book.

The confidant boy was sitting outside the car, looking towards the back door from time to time, "Chun Nong agreed to come out at this time, why haven't you seen anyone? To say that this Miss He Er is really as stupid as a pig, the young master just gave her a few more looks and followed her. She said a few nice words, and she really thought that the young master was deeply in love with her! For a little lady like her, who is not even one ten thousandth as good as her elder sister, how dare she miss the young master?! And she dares to ask for the young master? Come and pick her up in person, it’s really a shame to draw a nose on three pieces of paper!”

Wei Jiuqing turned a page of the book.

Under the halo of the night pearl, Mr. Lang has a high crown and is wearing a moon-white cross-collared gown embroidered with precious patterns. His face is as handsome and gentle as a crown of jade, and the most is the pair of soul-stirring peach blossom eyes. Even reading a book seems to be full of love .

His voice was as affectionate as a spring breeze, "Miss He is a rare and wonderful woman. It is my good fortune to welcome her back home tonight. Don't talk behind her back, let alone be rude to her."

The little servant grinned and replied, "These little girls from deep boudoirs have no knowledge, and after a little coaxing, they can't tell the difference between east, west and north. They only know how to treat the young master with sincerity, but they don't know that the sincerity is with the young master. They are the most worthless things." Son……"

At this time, the backyard of the He Mansion.

The night wind blew outside the window, and soon the soft spring rain hit the banana leaves.

He Yao knelt quietly on the purple bamboo mat.

She had taken a shower and put on a tooth-white pajamas. Her long crow-green hair was spread out on the ground. She was looking into the bronze mirror and spreading peach blossom facial grease evenly on her cheeks.

Chun Nong stepped into the boudoir and suddenly saw that she was still in the room. She was startled like a ghost, "Girl, why are you still here?! Didn't the husband of the Wei family come to pick you up in person?!"

He Yao was brewing good feelings in front of the bronze mirror. The moment she looked back, her eyes were moist and red, and she was very pitiful. "I wanted to elope, but the more I thought about it, the more scared I became. My legs were so weak that I couldn't walk... Chun Nong, I'm so scared." Yeah, if Aye knew that I was eloping with someone, he would probably break my legs!"

Chun Nong secretly hates that this little lady is really a useless idiot!
She stepped forward and pulled He Yao up, "How can you go back on what you have agreed upon? The husband of the Wei family must be impatient at this time. You'd better go to the appointment quickly!"

"I have already sent someone to tell Aye that Brother Jiuqing will come to pick me up tonight. At this time Aye has returned from the barracks, and he may have seen Brother Jiuqing at the back door. Chun Nong, Brother Jiuqing loves me like a treasure, and he must You will beg Aye to help us, so don't worry!"

Chun Nong almost collapsed, "You told the general about Mr. Wei's family?!"
