Resourceful beauty

Chapter 46

After staying in Lord Furong's mansion for more than an hour, Su Yuan returned to the palace, and she couldn't wait to call Zhao Mama, "Quickly go and inquire about Lord Furong's son, Young Master Liu Yuliu."

Zhao Momo's thoughts changed very quickly, and there was a little smile on her face, "Is the princess going to see you today? How is that Mr. Liu's character and appearance?"

Thinking of Liu Yu, Su Yuan laughed from ear to ear.

"That child, there is nothing to say about his appearance. He is about the same height as the eldest son, but his skin is fairer than him. He is really just like what is written in the book. He is a handsome young man. The most rare thing is He has a good temperament. Look at Ruer, when I say a few more words, he looks impatient and thinks I'm nagging. Then Liu Yu, no matter how Master Fu Rong reprimands him, he just smiles. He kept talking and joking to make the Lord Weng happy, I see that the mother and son also look like this on weekdays. Hey, with such a son, the mother should not worry much."

Talking full of praise, Su Yuan became more and more satisfied as she thought about it, and hurriedly sent Zhao Mama to inquire, to see if Liu Yu was engaged, and whether there were any concubines around her.

In two days' time, Su Yuan knew a lot about Lord Fu Rong's Mansion and that Liu Yu.

Then I learned that Liu Yu is now, and the friends she made close to her are all the princes and masters in the capital, and they go out for outings together on weekdays, or they taste poems and paint together, but it has never happened to go to a brothel. Su Yuan only felt a sigh of relief in her heart.

"Princess, this time I met a fellow villager in Wengzhu's mansion. The old lady was in charge of the tea. She told the old slave that Mr. Liu didn't even have a maid beside Mr. Liu, except for sweeping the yard. Yes, those who take care of those flowers and bonsai, and others who clean up the water are all servants."

Zhao mama smiled.

With a pursed smile, Su Yuan raised her eyes and asked Mother Zhao, "It's inexplicable, Master Fu Rong invited me to talk, but I didn't say anything important after chatting, but he was just looking at Liu Yu to make us laugh, Tell me, is it because Lord Fu Rong's mansion knows that our mansion has a young lady who is about to marry, so you come here to find out from me?"

Zhao Nanny nodded, "This old servant also thinks that's what he meant."

"Then, when the prince comes back, I'll ask him what he means."

Su Yuan smiled comfortably.

The two master and servant were talking, and saw Qiushuang come in with another post, "Princess, the post from Master Fu Rong's mansion said that April [-] is Miss Liu's birthday, please take the ladies over to have a seat." Woolen cloth."

Lord Fu Rong married Liu Pingzhi, the former top scholar, and now, Liu Pingzhi is serving as a bachelor's student in the Imperial Academy.

The two gave birth to a son and a daughter. The son was Liu Yu whom Su Yuan had met that day, and Liu Qing'er, a young lady who was waiting to enter her boudoir.

Just as she was guessing what Lord Furong meant, she made another move. Su Yuan was very happy, and while ordering Qiu Shuang to respond, she got up and went to Lishui Pavilion.

Knowing what her mother meant, Fang Ruyu lowered her head shyly.

With a slender neck and a pretty face, Fang Ruyu's silhouette looks even more beautiful under the sunlight in the afternoon, like an elegant swan on the lake.

"Mother, what does Master Liu do?"

Fang Ruyu asked curiously.

"He was the number one scholar in the late emperor's time, and now he is serving as a bachelor's student in the Imperial Academy. He is very talented."

Su Yuan said.

Fang Ruyu's face froze, "Mother, does Mr. Liu have any fame, or what kind of errand?"

Su Yuan was startled, and slowly shook her head.

The embarrassment on Fang Ruyu's face gradually faded, and he muttered with some surprise: "The marriage that the father and the fourth sister agreed to, General Han is the second-rank general Zhenxi, and that young general Han is also the fourth-rank lieutenant general. In the future, they may still have titles. Mom, what's so good about the Liu family? No matter how much the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager like Fu Rong, the Lord Fu Rong will lose everything when it comes to her children."

In this regard, Fang Ruyu is calmer and more rational than Su Yuan, a mother.

Su Yuan also came here from her daughter's house. The person she liked when she was young was just a juren at that time, but she fell in love with him regardless. He made a great success, and he made it out of himself.

As for Liu Yu, she was not even a little better than the person she knew.

Su Yuan softly coaxed Fang Ruyu and said, "Then Liuyu is the grandson of King Jingping's direct relative. Could it be that King Jingping doesn't love him? You know, King Jingping has so many ladies under his knees. Are you still staying in Beijing? Besides, what good is Han Song? A martial artist, who is not around for many years, and you have a headache, he can’t even accompany you, let alone know the cold and the hot.”

Holding Fang Ruyu in her arms, Su Yuan said softly, "The most important thing for this woman is to have a husband who treats you wholeheartedly. Accompaniment, what is more important is that the children and grandchildren grow old together together?"

Seeing Fang Ruyu's sullen and unhappy look all the time, Su Yuan sighed helplessly, "If you think the marriage in the Zhenxi General's Mansion is good, mother will tell your father and king to let you marry, how about it?" ?”

She didn't want to marry a vulgar general, and she didn't want to give in to someone like Liu Yu who had no fame and fortune, Fang Ruyu also felt conflicted for a while.

If she was still twelve or thirteen years old now, she could tell her mother coquettishly that she was still young and wanted to stay with her mother for a few more years, and let her look after her again.

But now, she is sixteen years old, and after the new year, she will be a 17-year-old girl.

If you are 17 years old and haven't married, you will become the laughing stock of the family members in the capital. If there is any party at that time, those ladies will laugh at you to death, right?

Seeing Fang Ruyu's appearance, Su Yuan knew it well, and she came up with an idea: "The eighteenth day is Miss Liu's birthday, when the time comes, mother will take you to Lord Furong's mansion, and you can take a look for yourself, okay? If you don't like it, mother will show you another look, and I will definitely find someone that satisfies you."

"Mom, you love your daughter the most..."

With a sigh of relief, Fang Ruyu whispered in her mother's arms.

Su Yuan angrily gouged out Fang Ruyu's finger.

When Qiutong went to Shuyuxuan to send a message, Fang Ruxuan was embroidering. Knowing that Su Yuan was busy going in and out these days, she was planning for Fang Ruyu. If she really followed, Fang Ruxuan said with a smile: " Go back and tell the princess that I am not feeling well these few days, so I will not follow you to Lord Fu Rong's mansion."

Fang Ruxuan is so knowledgeable, Su Yuan can save some time, Qiu Tong didn't force her anymore, and turned back to Yixin Palace.

On the side of the East Palace, Concubine Wu got a signal from King Qi to not let Fang Ruhua go out these days, and restrained her to do embroidery all day long, only waiting for King Qi to have a letter of approval, and then began to embroider the dowry.

Concubine Shen didn't like to join in the fun, so naturally Fang Rulan wouldn't go either.

On April [-]th, when Su Yuan went to Furong Wengzhu's mansion, she only brought Fang Ruyu and Fang Ruhui with her.

Because it was Liu Qing'er's 14th birthday, and she was still a child, Lord Fullon's Mansion didn't make any fuss, and only invited a few ladies who had a good relationship with Liu Qing'er on weekdays.

When Su Yuan and his party arrived, it was still early, and Liu Qing'er was talking with Master Fu Rong.

After entering the room, Su Yuan smiled and apologized, "It's too early, please don't blame us for being rude."

Master Furong smiled and waved his hands, "I wish you would come earlier, it will be lively when you come, I don't like deserted places, there are many people in the family, and there are a lot of laughter, right?"

Saying that, Master Furong asked Liu Qing'er to say hello to Fang Ruyu and Fang Ruhui.

Liu Qing'er was about the same stature as Fang Ruhui, and because of her round face, she looked even cuter when she smiled. She smiled and saluted, "Qing'er has seen the two older sisters."

Fang Ruyu and Fang Ruhui hurriedly got up and returned the salute.

From the beginning to the end, Lord Fu Rong kept his eyes on Fang Ruyu, seeing that she was indeed as she had heard, Master Fu Rong was overjoyed.

"Qing'er, take Ruyu and Ruhui to play in your room. I'll talk to Princess Qi for a while. When the guests arrive, I'll ask the servant girl to call you."

Seeing the three girls talking quietly together, Master Furong spoke in a considerate manner.

Liu Qing'er got up, led Fang Ruyu and Fang Ruhui out from left to right.

Walking along the corridor to the backyard, I saw a young man in a plain white gown walking slowly towards him, as if he was explaining something to the servant next to him. The young man's face was a little lazy, but his lips couldn't help it. The revealed smile made the whole person look even more radiant.

"elder brother……"

Liu Qing'er called out loudly.

Meeting the foreigner, both Fang Ruyu and Fang Ruhui felt a little embarrassed, and stopped immediately. When they knew that the man was Liu Yu, Fang Ruyu only felt her heart beating wildly.

While speaking, Liu Yu had already walked in front of Liu Qing'er.

"Your birthday present, I have already asked someone to send it to your house. If you don't like it, brother will make it up for you until you are satisfied, okay?"

Liu Yu scraped Liu Qing'er's nose affectionately and said.

Nodding happily, seeing Fang Ruyu and Fang Ruhui both turned their backs, Liu Qing'er turned them around with a smile, pointed at them and introduced: "Brother, this is Miss Fang Second and Miss Fang Six of Prince Qi's Mansion."

"Hello, ladies..."

The words were gentle, and Liu Yu nodded in greeting.

"I've seen Young Master Liu."

Fang Ruyu and Fang Ruhui leaned over and returned the salute.

Standing up again, Liu Yu stepped aside to get out of the way, Liu Qing'er smiled and led Fang Ruyu and Fang Ruxuan, and continued to walk forward.

Behind him, there was a clear voice of Liu Yu reciting: "There are beauties in the north, who are independent from the world. One looks at the city of Qingren, and then the country of Qingren. Would you rather not know the city and the country? Beautiful women are hard to come by!"

Can't help looking back, Fang Ruyu's face turned red when she met Liu Yu's scorching eyes.
