Chapter 213 I Come to Propose Marriage

A few days later it would be the Double Ninth Festival, and the wedding date of Shen Zhao and Yu Wanqiu would be three days after the Double Ninth Festival.

Hezhou is such a lively place, but during major festivals, except for Qingming Festival, the streets are very busy, and even inappropriate lanterns are put out.

Yu Wanqiu was a beautiful girl who was raised in a boudoir. She rarely participated in such festivals, so Shen Zhao took her out to join in the fun.

The streets were so crowded that cars and horses could not move, so we had to walk.

Shen Yu walked alone on the street.

She originally went out with Shen Zhao and Yu Wanqiu. After walking a short distance, she felt that she was really a stick. She was here to join in the fun when the two of them came out, so they left separately.

"Cousin, cousin, Ayu."

Shen Yu vaguely heard someone calling her, and when she turned around, she saw that it was Lu Jiaheng walking through the crowd towards her.

"Cousin." Shen Yu said, "Cousin is also coming out to celebrate the festival?"

Lu Jiaheng smiled and said, "Yes, why isn't my cousin with them?"

He actually knew it in his heart. He was pushed all the way out of the house by Mrs. Zhang and followed behind, but he couldn't rush forward rashly. He only waited for them to separate before pretending to meet by chance.

"I'm walking around alone." Shen Yu said.

Shen Yu has not changed into women's clothes since she returned to Hezhou. Hongqiao had prepared women's clothes on the first day she came back, but she accidentally didn't wear them.

Lu Jiaheng nodded, "There are many people on the street, and it's not safe for my cousin to be alone. Why don't you come with me?"

Shen Yu glanced at Lu Jiaheng, making him suddenly feel embarrassed.

Whether it was the impure purpose of approaching her or this far-fetched excuse, it made his face look dull.

The two of them walked through the busy streets, and Lu Jiaheng would find a few words to say or introduce the surrounding objects to her from time to time.

Shen Yu was so smart, she already vaguely knew why, but Lu Jiaheng didn't name him, so she couldn't say it directly.

"There are lanterns over there, which are common during the Lantern Festival, but not many during this season." Lu Jiaheng said.

"Cousin, if you want to see it, go ahead." Shen Yu walked towards the other side, "I'll take a look at the candy man over there."

Lu Jiaheng hesitated for a moment and then followed.

The craftsman who makes the candy figures is very good and the things he makes are lifelike.

Shen Yu glanced sideways at Lu Jiaheng beside her, and suddenly came up with a wonderful way to refuse.

"Master, can you make a portrait?"

"Yes." The master asked, "Who do you want to be, young master? Is it the person next to you?"

"No." Shen Yu said, "Be another person."

The master said: "Then you have to draw it for me."

Shen Yu picked up the pen, thinking about Xie Tingzhou's face that could rival the beauty of the mountains and rivers, and put pen to paper.

Her painting skills are not very good, and the characters she sketches are only three to four points similar.

The master tilted his head and looked at him, "What a handsome young master."

Shen Yu smiled and said, "Not as good as him."

"Oh?" The master smiled and said, "Who is this young master?"

"She is my sweetheart." Shen Yu said without concealment.

The expressions of Lu Jiaheng and his master froze at the same time, but they had different thoughts.

The master looked at the person in front of him up and down, and it took him a while to think of answering.

In my heart, the world is really in decline now, and Duan Xiu actually dares to be so blatant.

Lu Jiaheng was ashamed and angry at his recklessness today. He already had a sweetheart, but he still showed his kindness shamelessly, but he couldn't leave directly at this moment.

The crowd suddenly surged in one direction.

"Just in front, I have never seen such a handsome husband."

"How handsome is he? The most handsome man I have ever seen is Mr. Lu."

"More handsome than Mr. Lu, walk quickly, walk quickly, you won't be able to see him in a while."

When Lu Jiaheng heard someone mentioning himself, he didn't take it seriously. He didn't care much about his appearance.

Shen Yu took the candy figure and said, "What are they running for?"

"There is a handsome young man, does my cousin want to go see him?"

Shen Yu looked at the candy man in her hand, "I won't join in the fun, because I have seen the most beautiful one in the world."

Lu Jiaheng smiled and said, "Then I'll take my cousin back."

The road back to Lu Mansion happened to be in the direction where the group of girls went, and the two of them walked forward with the flow of people.

Lu Jiaheng deliberately broke the embarrassment and asked, "What kind of person is my cousin's sweetheart?"

Shen Yu said: "Gentle and strong, born, born..."

Shen Yu was stunned. She raised her hand and rubbed her eyes, but the person in front of her had not disappeared yet, standing in the crowd looking at her.

"Why are you here?" In addition to confusion, he was also shocked.

Xie Tingzhou's face and demeanor were too eye-catching. Facing the gazes from all around, he glanced at Shen Yu and looked at the man beside her.

"It seems that I came at a bad time and disturbed your moonlight walk."

The jealousy was almost spraying onto Shen Yu's face.

Lu Jiaheng was not stupid. He originally thought that the phrase "not as good as him" was that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but now he had to admit that the man in front of him was indeed shocking.

"Since my cousin has met a good friend, I won't bother her. It just so happens that I still have some account books at home that I need to read." Lu Jiaheng said.

The two of them nodded to each other as a greeting, without even speaking a word.

The leaves of the weeping willows by the river have turned yellow, and there are many fallen leaves floating on the river.

There were few people here, and Shen Yu was almost dragged here by him.

"Cousin?" Xie Tingzhou supported the tree trunk, "If you don't go with your own brother, what are you doing with your cousin?"

Shen Yu's back was pressed against the tree trunk, trapped here by him, "I just happened to meet him on the road."

"That's quite a coincidence."

Shen Yu pursed her lips and smiled faintly, "Did you taste it?"

Xie Tingzhou glanced at her, "Isn't it obvious enough?"

"Obviously, it smells sour to me."

"What should we do?" Xie Tingzhou looked at her condescendingly.

Shen Yu slowly reached out and grabbed his sleeve.

This grab made Xie Tingzhou's heart soften. He lowered his head to look at her face greedily, and whispered: "I think you are going crazy. You have been driving so fast all the way, leaving the others behind, and only brought Xi Feng and Chang with you." Stay, I just hope to see you soon."

Shen Yu felt like she was being wrapped and protected by a ball of warm and soft cotton, and the joy in her heart almost overflowed, "Then why did you come to the street?"

Xie Tingzhou said: "What do you think? The concierge at your residence said you were out, so I went to the street to look for you again."

Shen Yu stirred his sleeves unconsciously, pinching and loosening them again and again, until she wrinkled his sleeves.

Xie Tingzhou looked at it but didn't mention it. No one could see or want to see her little daughter's attitude. It was all unique to him, Xie Tingzhou.

"You're early." Shen Yu said.

When they parted, they agreed to pick her up. Shen Yu thought she would have to wait until late autumn or early winter, but she didn't expect it to happen so soon.

Xie Tingzhou smiled, "I'm here to propose marriage. Do you want to marry?"

"Where's the betrothal gift?" Shen Yu asked deliberately.

Xie Tingzhou held her hand and pressed it on his chest, "I, Beilin, are all yours. Is this betrothal gift and sincerity enough?"
