Hidden golden branches

Chapter 23 Yue Mansion
  While the master and servant were chatting and laughing, Yu Zhu helped Chen Rong get on the carriage, and Song Lin sat on the shaft. After they both got on the carriage, he raised his whip and flicked it, "Drive!" with a sound, the carriage rattled forward. Drive towards Yuefu on Rongqing Street.

Amidst the rumble of the carriage, they arrived in front of the Yue Mansion in about half the time it took them to pour incense.

There were already many carriages with mansion signs parked in front of the Yue Mansion. Song Lin found a gap to stop the carriage. When the carriage stopped, Yu Zhu jumped out of the carriage and turned around to help Chen Rong out of the carriage. Yue Wanshu was already waiting at the gate, just waiting to pick up Chen Rong.

"You're finally here. I don't know if you can leave the house or not, and I haven't told my family about it, so if there's any negligence, I'd like to thank Haihan." Yue Wanshu said with a smile, holding hands with Chen Rong, and looking at each other. My two cousins ​​are much closer.

"I don't blame you. I have to thank you for thinking of such a way. Otherwise, I don't know what excuse to find to go out. You don't know, I am really bored at home..."

Chen Rong and Yue Wanshu were close friends. They happily entered the Yue Mansion without making any extra noise. They only asked the servants in the mansion to inform Mrs. Yue and then went to the backyard.

"Sister!" Before the two of them reached the backyard where they were watching the show, they heard someone shouting not far away.

When Chen Rong heard the voice, he knew it was his brother Chen Zhao. He raised his little head and looked in the direction of the voice, only to see his brother and a few young people standing in the pavilion in front.

Ji Yuxian next to the eldest brother is the most outstanding-looking among the young people. You can't ignore him even if you want to.

His eldest brother is already outstanding in appearance, but Ji Yuxian is even better than his own eldest brother, who is as handsome as an immortal. He stands there as handsome as a pine as a cypress, as handsome as a cypress, and as handsome as a cypress.

Ji Yuxian's appearance was extremely good. The guests of the Yue family, all the women who had never seen Ji Yuxian before, were all amazed by him. It was so strange that everyone in the world said that Ji Yuxian, the eldest son of Duke Anguo and the new No. 1 scholar in the family, was the best in the capital. You're right, with such an outstanding appearance, no one in the entire capital can compare to her.

He is very knowledgeable and knowledgeable
  Chen Rong calmed down and was secretly dumbfounded. She had seen Anguo Gong's son many times before and knew that he was a good man, but she had never seen him from such a close distance.

It's not that she hasn't seen him up close, but every time she sees her brother's classmates and friends, her eyes follow Sun Yi and she automatically ignores others.

In addition, Ji Yuxian, the top pick in high school, went to the frontier for training two years ago, so Chen Rong couldn't remember him.

Tsk, I really didn’t expect that Prince An Guo was even more handsome than she had imagined. He had long eyebrows and handsome eyes, and his eyes were like stars. There was a touching smile on his lips. No wonder the world praised him as “as bright as the sun and the moon in one’s arms, as bright as a jade tree.” In the wind, he is as solemn as the waves in the pines, and as bright as the lightning under the rocks." Even the emperor said that he was very handsome and graceful.

If it weren't for his outstanding literary talent during the palace examination, maybe he would have condescended to his eldest brother's crown prince.
  Even Sun Yi, who was once the number one son in her heart, had to be pushed back several notches in front of Ji Yuxian.

She suddenly realized that he looked so good at this moment!
  His brows and eyes were gentle, with a very subtle smile, and his whole body was calm and restrained.

Coolness and gentleness intertwined.

It can really capture people's hearts.

If his brother Chen Zhao finds out that his sister regards Sun Yi as the number one son in his heart, he will definitely curse: My sister is really blind. That wolf-hearted thing can’t even compare to my appearance. How can he compare to Ji Yuxian from Zhilan Yushu? To compare?
  Chen Rong walked to her brother with a smile on her face. Seeing that her tanned skin had almost returned to its original white color, she raised her little face and asked, "Brother, why are you here too?"

"Eldest brother came here with Brother Ji and the others." Chen Zhao explained.

Today, we have a day off. A few friends have arranged to rent a boat, drink tea, recite poems and paint, and watch the scenery.

It just so happened that Ji Yuxian's aunt's family's house sent an invitation to watch the show, so Ji Yuxian simply invited his friends to come over. The small lake in the back garden of Yue’s house has a unique scenery. It is surrounded by hills, pavilions and tall trees.
  "Hmm." Chen Rong nodded his head to show that he understood.

Yue Wanshu also came over and politely said to Chen Zhao, "Master Chen."

Chen Zhao: "."

Chen Rong: "."

"Master Chen?" The brothers and sisters were wondering why she used such a distant tone.
  Didn't you always call him "Big Brother" along with Chen Rong before?
  Chen Zhao couldn't help but nodded and said: "Miss Yue, if you don't see anyone else, just call me 'Brother Chen'."

"Brother Chen." Yue Wanshu called again with a blushing face and nodding her head. Then, she said hello to Ji Yuxian: "Cousin is here!"

"Hey, cousin." Ji Yuxian looked at Chen Zhao and Yue Wanshu, pursed his lips and agreed.

Speaking of Chen Rong, since she reappeared in front of everyone, everyone has been shocked by her beauty and elegant temperament.

Most of the guests coming to the Yue Mansion today are relatives in the mansion. The old lady of the Yue family likes to listen to plays and enjoy the excitement.

Because it was to listen to a play, most of these relatives were the matrons of various families who came with their daughters.

There are only a few wealthy families in Kyoto, and the female relatives of each family often go around to socialize. Even those who have never met Chen Rong know that the imperial concubine has a stunning niece, who is the only legitimate daughter of Chen Youyu, the Minister of Household Affairs. When they met, I guessed it was her.

They saw the girl from a distance wearing a green smoked sweater and a light green pleated skirt with flowers, as tender as green onions. Her hair was styled in a simple peach-heart bun, and she only wore a few milky-white pearl necklaces, which made her fine hair dark and shiny. She has a small nose, curved eyebrows, and a slightly naughty smile on her pink lips. At first glance, you can tell that she is a little girl who finally got free time to sneak out of the house to play. When he caught the eyes of others, they couldn't help but smile.

The little girl has thin sideburns and high buns. She wears a dark green gold silk embroidered skirt, and the girl's face is bright and luxurious, which makes people shine like peach blossoms in spring. She can't hide the indifference in the corners of her eyebrows. This... where is this noble girl? This is simply a flower of wealth in the world!
  It can be seen that the third young master of the Sun family is really blind and blind!

Leaving such a good woman alone, he actually exchanged the military exploits he had gained at the risk of his life for the emperor's decree to break off the engagement.
  He is really blind!
  He also didn't think about it, could the marriage granted by the emperor be easily cancelled?

If you don't even care about your own future, where is the imperial power?

Besides, even if you want that girl of unknown origin, wouldn't it be enough to take her as a concubine after marriage?

Eh? Could it be that Young Master Sun San is thinking of marrying that woman as his first wife?
  laugh.
  Can his parents agree to marry a woman of unknown origin? And there is no dowry to accompany her, no backing from her natal family, and no matchmakers or six betrothals.

Doesn’t that make it a matchless affair?

　Chen Zhao: I know that you, Ji Yuxian, have evil intentions towards Rong Er. Looking at the look in your eyes, eh, you are really blind!

　　Xiao Zi: You didn’t say it yourself, would you rather have your sister and Ji Yuxian from Zhilan Yushu than the arrogant and conceited Sun Yi?
