Chapter 465 Jin She Loves Talent (36)
After Chu Yunfan learned the news, he directly told Xu Wenyang, and when he said this, there was a hint of joking in his tone: "Look, this Miss Shen is really devoted to you!
Last time I humiliated her. Based on her previous personality, I'm afraid she would never want to step into my Chu family again in her life. But I didn't expect that for you, she would be willing to do it again. "
Hearing these teasing remarks, Xu Wenyang's heart tightened, and he subconsciously observed Chu Yunfan's expression carefully.
You know, Shen Yueying was once Chu Yunfan's fiancée, and the two knew each other since childhood. They can be said to be childhood sweethearts.
How could such a deep relationship disappear so easily? People in the capital were saying that the two of them would definitely resume their engagement.
After all, it would be difficult for the Shen family to find a son-in-law who has a higher status and wealth than Chu Yunfan.
Xu Wenyang was actually quite self-aware. In this era that emphasized matching of social status, it was not easy for someone like him to marry the daughter of Master Shen.
And now he has made up his mind to reach a "win-win cooperation" situation with Chu Yunfan.
It would not be wise to create a rift between two people because of a woman.
However, with Xu Wenyang's limited insight, how could he see through Chu Yunfan's true thoughts at the moment?
Not to mention that Chu Yunfan no longer had any feelings for Shen Yueying.
Even though he still had some feelings in his heart, the Duke of Chu was an expert in facial expression management and was absolutely able to do it flawlessly.
Otherwise, why has Shen Yueying never witnessed Chu Yunfan getting angry or losing his temper over the years?
Obviously it's not that he doesn't have emotional fluctuations, but he is extremely good at hiding his true feelings.
Xu Wenyang smiled and pretended to be calm and said, "Brother, don't laugh at me. I know the rules here! Miss Shen just thinks I am a talented person, but she will understand after a long time.
These poems and songs are not worth eating or wearing, and someone like you is more suitable to be her husband."
Chu Yunfan picked up the teacup, took a sip, looked at Xu Wenyang with a smile, and an elusive light flashed in his eyes.
"It is said that love can overcome all difficulties. You don't want a complete copy." Chu Yunfan said with admiration for Xu Wenyang, "After all, you are quite talented now. When you pass the imperial examination in the future, you can become an official in the court.
Master Shen is naturally willing to marry Miss Shen to you. After all, one should not despise a poor young man! "
After being praised like this, Xu Wenyang's face actually showed some high-spirited expression, and then he said: "It is said that a friend's wife should not be bullied. No matter what, Miss Shen was once your fiancée, and I..."
"Whatever you want!" Chu Yunfan shrugged "relaxedly". "Since I have already called off the engagement, I won't care about these things anymore. But I can't keep you here today, otherwise Shen Yueying will definitely knock down my door."
Upon hearing this, Xu Wenyang thought the other party was still joking with him, so he said, "Then I will go out and persuade Miss Shen now. I will come back to discuss the matter we discussed before in a few days."
"Okay! Then I'll wait for the good news that you've got the beauty." Chu Yunfan bowed to Xu Wenyang.
After watching the other party walk towards the gate of the Duke's Mansion, Chu Yunfan stood up and went to the next room.
Looking at the conversation records that have filled several pages.
Chu Yunfan picked up the servant's pen and circled several possible key points.
For example, glass, gunpowder, soap, fine salt, etc.!
The old butler Chu Chuan hurried over at this time. It turned out that Xu Wenyang had just persuaded Miss Shen to leave, but General Zhao happened to come to visit at this time.
At this moment, he has already invited the other party into the house.
But this time the place for receiving guests is no longer the small hall.
It is the main hall of the Duke's Mansion used to entertain distinguished guests.
"What is General Zhao doing here?" Chu Yunfan handed the conversation record with the key points already highlighted to Chu Chuan, "He hasn't come to our Duke's Mansion for many years."
Chu Chuan thought that this might be related to the weapons that his young master had given to the two young ladies of the Zhao family, so he reminded them, "It might be because of the weapons. After all, both the scimitar and the spear are very valuable."
"Is it expensive?" Chu Yunfan didn't have much idea about money, at least when it came to weapons. "I don't think that fine iron spear is worth much. Compared to the things Shen Yueying took away from the mansion before, it's nothing at all!"
Chu Chuan explained: "The fine iron spear can't be compared with treasures, but in terms of weapons, this thing is already expensive."
As they were talking, the two men had already arrived at the main hall of the Duke's Mansion, and General Zhao was already inside.
It's dark now, not the right time to visit friends properly, especially without sending visiting cards in advance.
but
"Chu family kid!" General Zhao shouted as soon as he saw Chu Yunfan coming in, "Do you still have the Bi Guang wine your father used to make? Bring me some to try!"
This statement brought Chu Yunfan's thoughts back to the time when his father had not passed away.
