Xiao Hanyuan felt that Qu Xuexin was one of the best among the many 4 younger women of Qu Mansion. Though she was not as stunning as Qu Qiuyan, her method was first rate and chic. Nevertheless, the one his dad and mom selected for him was Qu Moying. Qu Moying’s eye illness hadn’t recovered but. Apart from, he thought she was too frivolous.
She had already recognized in regards to the marriage proposal between him and her, however she nonetheless went on a blind date. Wasn’t it as a result of she seemed down upon his household and was attracted by He Mansion’s wealth? Furthermore, He Mansion was associated to Lord Jing.

Now that one thing had occurred to Third Younger Grasp He, his proposed marriage with Qu Moying would possibly nonetheless rely. He felt so disgusted, as if he had eaten a fly. He couldn’t settle for the wedding association.
He was not afraid of not with the ability to discover a spouse. However anyway, he wouldn’t marry Qu Moying.

He collected his ideas and adopted the lad servant into the interior room. He noticed Qu Mingcheng within the interior room, and the 2 of them exchanged a couple of phrases earlier than he sat down on a chair on the facet.
“Mingcheng, why have been you overwhelmed so badly?” When Xiao Hanyuan heard that Qu Mingcheng had been overwhelmed up, he thought that it was only a gentle beating. Nevertheless, he was shocked when he noticed Qu Mingcheng’s accidents.
Qu Mingcheng let loose a protracted sigh and mentioned helplessly, “I don’t wish to point out it. It’s all due to Moying.”
“What does it need to do with Fourth Woman Qu?” Xiao Hanyuan frowned as properly. He was displeased when he heard that Qu Moying was talked about.
“I received’t conceal it from you, Cousin Brother. Beforehand, she had a wedding proposal with He Mansion.

“In fact. He Mansion was speculated to ship betrothal presents over in these two days. Unexpectedly, such a factor occurred. Their proposed marriage naturally failed. Poor Moying. She was filled with pleasure earlier than, however now… She have to be at a loss. Third Younger Grasp He seems to be good, however he turned out to be such an individual.”
Qu Mingcheng mentioned.
Xiao Hanyuan requested, “Did Fourth Woman Qu meet another person for marriage earlier than?”
“There must be. I heard that she was assembly someone. However I don’t know who the opposite social gathering is. I simply heard Grandmother point out it as soon as. Beforehand, Moying thought Third Younger Grasp He was higher, and he or she wished to marry into He Mansion. The opposite marriage proposal has but to be made recognized to the general public. It doesn’t rely.”
Qu Mingcheng mentioned indifferently.
Xiao Hanyuan was so indignant that his face turned pale. His dad and mom have been severe about asking him to marry Qu Moying. They requested him to dwell in Qu Mansion to nurture his relationship with Qu Moying. However it appeared that he was only a plan B to Qu Moying. Considering of this, Xiao Hanyuan, who had all the time been assured, couldn’t maintain again his anger and slapped closely on the desk.
Qu Mingcheng was frightened and requested anxiously with a pale face, “Cousin Brother, what’s unsuitable?”
“Nothing!” Xiao Hanyuan tried exhausting to suppress his anger, however he might now not sit nonetheless. He out of the blue stood up with a chilly face.
“Cousin Brother!” Qu Mingcheng was startled.
Xiao Hanyuan slowly sat down, suppressing the anger in his coronary heart, and defined, “I out of the blue considered one thing simply now. Sorry.”
Qu Mingcheng mentioned with a smile. “It’s high quality. I assumed there was a giant deal! Cousin Brother, what do you consider Eldest Sister? In contrast with the opposite women in our mansion, Eldest Sister is one of the best.”
“What do you imply?” Xiao Hanyuan’s coronary heart skipped a beat as he checked out Qu Mingcheng.
“Cousin Brother, don’t conceal it from me. Do you additionally suppose that Eldest Sister is nice? In the event you suppose so, it’s a must to hurry up.” Qu Mingcheng teased with a smile. Maybe his smile was too huge that his wounds ached. He shortly shut his mouth with a bitter face.
“Eldest Cousin Sister is certainly good!” Seeing that Qu Mingcheng had discovered about his emotions, Xiao Hanyuan nodded with a barely crimson face.
“Cousin Brother, if our two mansions are sure by marriage, we might be nearer to one another. In the event you marry Eldest Sister, that might be nice!” Qu Mingcheng mentioned with a smile, however he didn’t dare to smile too fortunately this time.
Xiao Hanyuan was silent and checked out Qu Mingcheng.
“Cousin Brother, are you nervous you possibly can’t make it a actuality? Don’t fear. I’ve a option to make your desires come true.” Qu Mingcheng waved at Xiao Hanyuan, who hesitated for a second however nonetheless leaned over him…
Qu Moying went straight again to her yard. Nevertheless, not lengthy after she returned, Qu Xuexin got here with a stitching field, which meant that she was going to do embroidery in Qu Moying’s place with the explanation that Qu Moying’s qin cowl might solely be used right here.
After inviting Qu Xuexin to return in and sit down, Qu Moying positioned the qin cowl in entrance of her and walked to the desk in entrance of the window. She requested Yu Chun to arrange a brush and ink for her after which picked up the comb to attract an image to be the embroidery sample.
Qu Xuexin exclaimed from behind, “Moying, the butterflies you drew are great!”
Solely then did Qu Moying discover that she had casually drawn a Love of Butterfly image. Positive sufficient, Ji Hanyue’s reminiscence was deeply engraved in her coronary heart, and her informal drawing was the sample she appreciated essentially the most within the earlier life.
Luckily, this is able to not have an effect on something. She smiled barely and mentioned, “Eldest Sister, I wish to be taught embroidery from you. It’s too troublesome to embroider a peony, so I drew two butterflies to embroider.”
Qu Xuexin mentioned, “It’s so stunning. Moying, are you able to give this image to me? I can’t draw such a ravishing butterfly!”
Qu Moying mentioned, “This one is simply too huge. In the event you prefer it, I’ll draw a smaller one for you.”
Qu Xuexin applauded and mentioned, “Moying, are you able to draw two footage? One for me and one for your self. Let’s embroider them on sachets.”
Qu Moying drew two small footage as Qu Xuexin requested. Then, she requested a maid to get embroidery frames and two items of material for Qu Xuexin to select from.
Qu Xuexin picked the peachy pink piece, and Qu Moying used the sunshine lotus shade piece that Qu Xuexin didn’t select.
The 2 of them sat down and quietly did the embroidery. Qu Moying’s embroidery expertise have been inferior to Qu Xuexin’s, however she had embroidered butterflies many instances, so she was fairly expert. Even when she was not as proficient as Qu Xuexin, she was not a lot worse.
Qu Xuexin checked out Qu Moying sometimes. Seeing that Qu Moying was extra expert than her and that her embroidery was fairly good, she turned an increasing number of jealous. Couldn’t she excel over even a blind particular person?
Considering of this, she turned an increasing number of depressed. She was decided to win Qu Moying, so she embroidered much more severely.
The room quieted down. Qu Moying was quietly embroidering, and he or she answered Qu Xuexin’s phrases sometimes.
Yu Dong quietly walked in and reported. “Woman, Younger Grasp Xiao is right here!”
“Invite him in!” Qu Moying glanced at Qu Xuexin, who was sitting on the facet, and put down the embroidery body. Since he got here right here at such a time, she naturally needed to meet him.
Xiao Hanyuan walked in and noticed Qu Moying and Qu Xuexin sitting within the room. Qu Xuexin smiled gently at him with an embroidery body in her hand. It was apparent that she was embroidering. Though he couldn’t inform what the embroidery was, he thought it was a very good one due to its stunning shade.
As for Qu Moying, her embroidery body was put apart. He didn’t perceive why a blind particular person did embroidery. He didn’t suppose she might embroider properly, and he thought she was simply imitating Qu Xuexin.
His coronary heart was full of disgust, however he didn’t present it.
After bowing to one another, they every took a seat. The maids served them tea and stood apart.
Qu Moying seemed up and requested, “Cousin Brother, is one thing the matter?”
Xiao Hanyuan mentioned with a smile, “In a couple of days, it’s the Qixi Competition. Mingcheng can’t stand up, so I wish to invite you women to be my guides and present me round to see how individuals within the capital have fun the Qixi Competition!”
The Qixi Competition was also referred to as the Qiqiao Competition, and it was younger ladies’ favourite competition.
Qu Moying’s gaze fell behind him after which turned to Qu Xuexin, who seemed a little bit shy. Her eyes have been unfathomable. Xiao Hanyuan got here to her place to ask them to be his guides, however he clearly got here to ask her alone. Nevertheless, if he solely invited her, she would positively not agree.
In spite of everything, it was simple for individuals to misconceive them if solely the 2 of them spent the competition collectively.
Did Qu Xuexin come right here for this?
As anticipated, seeing Qu Moying’s hesitation, Qu Xuexin shortly agreed, “Cousin Xiao, it’s true that we should always present you across the capital. It’s a giant competition. When the time comes, the capital might be very full of life. Moying, whenever you have been within the village, would you come out for a stroll on this competition?”
Qu Moying grew up within the village, and he or she hardly ever went out. She shouldn’t exit alone on such a competition. The that means behind Qu Xuexin’s phrases was actually suspicious.
Luckily, Qu Moying was ready. She smiled faintly and mentioned calmly, “It doesn’t matter what competition it was, I by no means wished to stroll round. I didn’t have a relative by my facet however just some maids and outdated maids. I actually didn’t have the temper to stroll round!”
“Because you haven’t been out for a stroll at such a competition, I’ll take you round. It’s a deal. Cousin Xiao, please wait on the outer yard on that day. We’ll exit collectively after dinner.” Qu Xuexin clapped her arms, however then she frowned, “Somebody ought to inform Grandmother about this, proper?”
She was asking everybody, however she was Qu Moying. In fact, she meant for Qu Moying to say it. Qu Moying was essentially the most appropriate particular person. The Outdated Woman doted on Qu Moying, and everybody within the mansion knew it.
“Since each of you have an interest, let’s go collectively. I’ll go and inform Grandmother. We will speak about it after Grandmother agrees.”
“That’s nice. Thanks, Fourth Cousin Sister.” Xiao Hanyuan was very completely happy. He stood up and bowed deeply to Qu Moying. Qu Moying moved sideways to keep away from him.
Qu Xuexin urged, “Moying, whenever you ask for Grandmother’s approval, inform her that Eldest Brother and Qiuyan will go along with us. Let’s exit collectively in order that others won’t gossip about us. We will have a very good time collectively.”
Her phrases made sense, and Qu Moying naturally agreed.
Because the matter was settled, Xiao Hanyuan mentioned goodbye to them. When he reached the door, he out of the blue turned to have a look at Qu Moying. Qu Moying wore a faint smile on her face. Though her face couldn’t be clearly seen, she nonetheless seemed elegant and mild. His eyes darkened, and he shook his head. Then, he circled and left…
