Daughter of aristocratic family

Chapter 65 Persuasion
  Not long after Zhao Wangshu returned to the yard, Zhao Jiahua came back, "Has the old lady been looking for you?"

"Well, ask me if I have anyone in mind." Zhao Wangshu said with a faint smile.

"She asked me the same thing." Zhao Jiahua sneered, "Have you ever made eye contact with anyone?"

Zhao Wangshu's eyes flashed, "What about you?"

"I asked you first." Zhao Jiahua said softly.

Zhao Wangshu shook his head and said, "I haven't even gotten to know anyone, so how could I see someone right?" It was Yun Hao's face that made her think a little, "It's your turn to answer me."

"Me neither." Zhao Jiahua lowered his head and took a sip of tea, avoiding Zhao Wangshu's eyes. Her guilty conscience was so obvious that one could see through it at a glance.

"When you find someone you like, you have to tell me." Zhao Wangshu didn't expose her, just wait until she wanted to say it.

"Okay." Zhao Jiahua responded.

Zhao Wangshu told her about Liu Shuqing, "She has a private relationship with Sun Li."

"How did she know Sun Li?" Zhao Jiahua asked with a frown.

"They met at Chunxi Garden on Shangsi Festival. One day, I saw Sun Li walking her back."

"The man is unmarried and the woman is unmarried. As long as it's about love and politeness, it's fine." Zhao Jiahua doesn't think there's anything wrong with giving and receiving in private.

"Yes, what you said makes sense, but didn't you see the scene when Sun Li was writing a poem yesterday? He and Miss Liu are in love. Do you want to see the two of them competing for a husband?"

Zhao Jiahua recalled what happened yesterday in a daze, "Damn stinky man!"

"Concubine is involved in buying and selling, and she has no control over her life or death. You also know the fate of the outside wife and what happened to the second aunt's wife's house. Please advise her to get out of the house in time." Zhao Wangshu warned kindly.

"I'm going to find my cousin right now." Zhao Jiahua put down the teacup as he said this, got up and walked out.

Liu Shuqing was embroidering in the room, and Zhao Jiahua called out, "Cousin."

Liu Shuqing raised his head and saw that it was Zhao Jiahua. He smiled and said, "He's back."

"Cousin, there are some things that I think you should know." Zhao Jiahua sat down on the round pier opposite her with a serious expression.

"What's going on?" Liu Shuqing was a little curious.

"Yesterday at the Lotus Viewing Festival, Sun Li sang harmonious poems with others." Zhao Jiahua looked at Liu Shuqing's face and said, "Cousin, I don't want to see you get hurt."

After hearing this, Liu Shuqing was silent for a while and smiled slightly, "Thank you, cousin Jiahua, I know what you mean, but I believe that Sun Li is not the kind of person who is always in a hurry."

"But..." Zhao Jiahua wanted to say more.

"Sister Hua, thank you for your kindness." Liu Shuqing interrupted her, "I will pay attention. However, I believe that Sun Li is sincere to me."

"I hope so." Zhao Jiahua said helplessly.

Zhao Wangshu thought that Zhao Jiahua had persuaded Liu Shuqing, but on her rest day five days later, she saw Liu Shuqing and Sun Li walking together again on the street.
  "What's wrong? The food doesn't taste good?" Yun Hao asked with concern when he saw her frowning.

Zhao Wangshu looked back and smiled: "The crispy squab worth twenty taels of silver each tastes great, how could it not be to your taste?"

"If you like it, just order a few more." Yun Hao said generously.

"No, I don't have that much appetite. I'm full after eating so much. You can treat me to food next time." Zhao Wangshu said with a genuine smile.

"Okay." Yun Hao replied readily.

During the tea break, Zhao Wangshu asked Yun Hao bluntly, "The head of Xinxing County came right after you left in a hurry that day. Are you avoiding her?"

Yun Hao replied without hesitation: "Yes."

"Why?" Zhao Wangshu asked curiously.

Prince Guangyu was deeply favored by the emperor. He commanded an army of 30,000 soldiers in the Jingdong camp and was one of the most powerful princes.

As the apple of his eye, Xinxing County Lord was brought into the palace to be trained by the Queen Mother. If he could marry her, it would obviously be more cost-effective than marrying a princess. "Do you like flies?" Yun Hao asked.

Zhao Wangshu was shocked, "So you have such a vicious tongue?"

"I'm just telling the truth." Yun Hao said calmly.

"County Lord, you don't like her, so what kind of woman can catch the attention of Master Yun?" Zhao Wangshu stared at him and asked.

His eyes were burning, making Yun Hao feel a little uncomfortable, and he coughed lightly, "Emotional matters can be left to chance, there is no need to force it."

Zhao Wangshu nodded and said: "Yes, Mr. Yun is a pillar of talent with a bright future. There is no need to rush into matters of love."

Yun Hao stopped talking, picked up the teacup, and blew into the floating tea. The steaming heat blurred the glimmer in his eyes.

Seeing that he didn't really want to talk about this topic, Zhao Wangshu turned to other topics: "I heard that a chess master came to Yiqiu Chess Garden. Many chess masters in Beijing challenged him, but they all lost."

"Want to visit Yiqiu Chess Garden?"

Zhao Wangshu nodded with a crooked smile, and Yun Hao smiled, "Then let's go."

When the two came to Yiqiu Chess Garden, a middle-aged Confucian scholar was challenging the master. The chessboard was full of chess pieces.

The rumored chess master was a handsome, slightly frail young man.

Every move he made was unexpected.

Yun Hao watched the chess game intently.

Zhao Wangshu looked at it for a while and then became distracted. Her eyes moved from the chessboard to the chess player, and she discovered that the boy did not have an Adam's apple.

A woman disguised as a man?

Zhao Wangshu looked carefully and found that although her eyebrows were thickened, her skin was fair and tender, her lips were red and her teeth were white, and she had narrow shoulders and a slim waist. Anyone who was interested could tell at a glance that she had the body of a girl.

Zhao Wangshu's eyes flashed slightly and he gently pulled Yun Hao's sleeve.

Yun Hao came back to his senses and asked softly: "What's wrong?"

Zhao Wangshu grabbed his hand and wrote on his palm. Green Zhi, who was standing behind her, had his eyes widened.

Yun Hao froze when she grabbed his hand.

Although this was not the first time that the two of them held each other's hands, last time, Yun Hao was concerned about the injury on her hand and did not feel deeply about it.

This time, when Zhao Wangshu's soft and slender fingers gently slid across his palm, Yun Hao's heartbeat suddenly skipped a beat, and a blush slowly stained his cheeks.

After Zhao Wangshu finished writing, he let go of his hand. Yun Hao, who was flying in the sky, did not take back his hand, just spread it out.

"Yun Hao." Zhao Wangshu waved his hand in front of him.

"No, it's okay." Yun Hao retracted his hand, clenched his fist tightly, and calmed down, "What do you want to tell me?"

Yes, the words were written in vain.

Zhao Wangshu touched his throat and motioned for him to look at the two players playing chess.

Yun Hao followed her line of sight and immediately saw something wrong with the "boy". Her neck was slender and long, with no Adam's apple. He suddenly realized that the "boy" was not a boy, but a girl.

Yun Hao was surprised by Zhao Wangshu's careful observation and praised: "You have really good eyesight."

Zhao Wangshu raised his eyebrows, looking so smug and cute, which made Yun Hao's heart tremble and he quickly looked away.

At this time, the chess game has entered a white-hot stage, with both sides trying their best to win in one fell swoop.
