Chapter 201 Who is the Real Boss?
Chapter 201 Who is the Real Boss?
"Lin'an, don't be rude." Shen Yuyao whispered, "These are the old lady and Madam Zhang, as well as the two young ladies of the Zhang family, who were specially invited by my mother."
She was afraid that Xia Linan might be careless and offend the beauty, causing her to miss out on a good marriage. Wouldn't that be a great pity?
Xia Linan responded softly: "Son knows."
After saying this, he bowed respectfully to Old Madam Zhang and Madam Zhang.
Shen Yuyao then smiled and introduced them to the women of the Zhang family: "This is the eldest son of my Xia family, Xia Lin'an. That is the eldest daughter of the Xia family, Xia Xiaoxian."
Old Madam Zhang and Madam Zhang couldn't help but smile and said, "Young Master Lin'an is really blessed."
"Miss Xiaoxian is also very beautiful and refined. Madam Xia is really blessed to have such outstanding children."
Shen Yuyao smiled and said modestly, "No, no, I was a little reckless just now. I hope the two young ladies of the Zhang family don't take it as an offense."
"Madam Xia, it's okay! Young Master Lin'an and I have known each other for a long time."
Zhang Mingbao stood up and explained to Shen Yuyao with a smile on his face.
After that, he turned to Xia Linan and said, "My name is Zhang Mingbao, and Yuru is just my pen name."
She gave Xia Linan a simple and clear explanation, and then she began to look at Xia Linan carefully with her beautiful eyes without restraint.
[Wow! How come the Zhang family has two daughters? They are actually twin sisters? ]
[The Sansheng Book only records Zhang, the legitimate daughter of Zhang Qi. Her maiden name is not recorded.]
[General Zhang Qi did not have any concubines, so the two sisters were definitely legitimate daughters! But which one Lin An was going to marry was not clear from the book.]
[This is so embarrassing. I wanted to give my mother a warning after reading the Sansheng Book, but I didn't expect to be tricked by this crappy book. Why can women only have a surname and not even a name? ]
After Xia Xiaoxian complained in her heart for a while, when she raised her eyes, she met Shen Yuyao's inquiring eyes. She could only helplessly shake her head, indicating that she didn't know which of the two sisters was the right match for Xia Linan!
Shen Yuyao sighed secretly in her heart.
This is really a headache. Even Xia Xiaoxian, who has always been extremely effective, has no choice.
Xia Linan awkwardly bowed and greeted the elders of the Zhang family. When he turned around and saw Zhang Mingyu again, he was suddenly struck by lightning and froze!
Zhang Mingyu was also stared at by Xia Linan, and she lowered her head even more in embarrassment.
She looks exactly like Zhang Mingbao, and even their dressing styles are indistinguishable.
But when he saw her, Xia Linan felt suffocated for a moment!
Zhang Mingyu's gentle look when she lowered her head made Xia Lin'an's heart pound as if it was going to jump out of his chest.
Totally unable to restrain myself.
The scene was a bit awkward for a moment.
"Cough... cough cough." Shen Yuyao coughed a few times, and Xia Linan woke up as if from a dream, muttering: "There are...someone who looks exactly like me. I thought I was seeing things."
Xia Linan hurriedly explained his rudeness.
"It's okay. I've watched these two sisters grow up, and there are times when I can't tell them apart, let alone you, young master?" Old Madam Zhang was also busy trying to resolve Xia Linan's embarrassment.
Shen Yuyao saw all of this, and she knew that Xia Linan had fallen in love with Zhang Mingyu.
A wise child is better than his mother.
Shen Yuyao knew that she had just forced him to come to the front hall for the blind date, and she was afraid that she would be extremely reluctant to drag him away now.
"Madam, if I remember correctly, today should be the spring party in Kyoto City." Shen Yuyao reminded Madam Zhang softly, and her eyes also signaled frequently.
The spring festival in Kyoto City is the most lively gathering in early spring in Kyoto.
Unlike other gatherings, the Spring Festival Party is mostly attended by men and women of marriageable age.
To put it simply, it is the annual open dating party for young men and women in the Great Xia Dynasty.
"Yes, yes, it's still early today, so why not let the younger generation go and join in the fun." Old Madam Zhang was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses.
She knew that Shen Yuyao wanted to let the young people spend some time together naturally, so that they would be able to find love and a good marriage would naturally come to fruition.
"Okay, Lin'an, you, Xiaoxian, Xiaoyan and the two young ladies of the Zhang family can go to the spring party." Shen Yuyao said to Xia Lin'an with a smile.
"Mother, I obey your command." Xia Lin'an bowed respectfully, turned to Xia Xiaoxian and said, "Eldest sister, I will go prepare the carriage and wait for you at the gate."
Xia Xiaoxian naturally knew what he meant, and walked up to the two Zhang sisters and said, "Sisters from the Zhang family, let's go to the spring outing together."
The two sisters readily agreed.
The spring in Kyoto is beautiful and full of infinite temptations.
The water of Shangheji River is clear and the waves are shimmering; the willows on both sides are green and the peach blossoms are pink and the plum blossoms are white.
It is also the most beautiful place in Kyoto in spring. The spring festival is held on both sides of the most beautiful section of the river in Shangheji.
Xia Xiaoxian and a few others boarded the carriage that Xia Linan had prepared long ago. The carriage was filled with a faint fragrance, and on the small square table were placed several plates of Lu Garden's most delicious desserts.
Xia Linan, Yongan and Pingan sat in a carriage at the back and followed closely.
The most lively activity of the Spring Carnival is the Peach Blossom Hunt. Every eligible man and woman participating in the carnival can buy a pink peach blossom from a nearby stall. If they see someone they like, they can give the peach blossom to that person as a gift.
If the recipient accepts the peach blossom, it means that the two can exchange business cards. After returning home, the man can use the business card to ask his family to propose marriage to the woman's family.
If the person who receives the gift refuses to accept the peach blossom and instead gives a plum blossom, it means that he has no other thoughts about the person who gave the flowers. After both parties smile and nod, they will continue to look for their own flowers.
The Peach Blossom Search for Love is arranged on the streets on both sides of the most beautiful section of the river in Shangheji, with a magpie bridge in the middle connecting the streets on both sides.
However, at the two ends of Taohuaxunyuan Street, carriages were not allowed to enter.
Xia Xiaoxian, Xia Xiaoyan and the two sisters of the Zhang family got off the carriage and walked together into the Taohua Xunyuan Street.
Xia Linan and his two younger brothers followed closely behind.
The spring sunshine shines warmly on everyone.
All the young men and women on the street were dressed up for travel, and when Xia Xiaoxian and her companions got out of the car, they looked like birds out of a cage.
Especially Xia Xiaoyan, her pair of bright eyes looked around.
The entire Taohuaxunyuan street is really bustling, with many vendors selling their peach and plum branches.
"Wow! The peach blossoms on that tree are so gorgeous." Xia Xiaoyan exclaimed.
Everyone followed Xia Xiaoyan's gaze and saw an unexpected figure, holding the largest and strongest peach tree branch in the venue, walking straight towards them.
