  She told a good story and then casually said something that made people praise her as a clever girl. That's how rumors are born!

  "Thank you for your praise, madam, but Mozi is just an ordinary maid."

  Wei smiled and asked, "Is your daughter playing the piano?"

  "That's right." Mozi Ba couldn't let Wei Shi shift his attention.

  Wei sat quietly for a moment, then nodded slightly. "Second Brother, you've heard the best music in the capital. How do you think they compare?"

  That Erlang was not listening at first, only gazing at the lake and mountains. When Wei Shi asked him, he concentrated his mind to listen carefully, his eyes narrowed, and his expression seemed surprised. He replied, "If your heart is calm and your breath is harmonious, we can compare our skills."

  "She is different from others, likes movement and dislikes stillness. I think if she were as quiet as other girls, the true meaning of the piano sound would be lost. It's better this way. However, being able to get such a high evaluation from you is not easy." said Wei Shi with a smile.

  Mozi heard this and thought of letting Baihe help Qiu San Niang reveal her true nature. This trick was indeed used correctly. Also, that Second Brother's tone didn't change much, he should not have recognized himself. It seems that dressing up as a man can indeed confuse people's vision.

  "Your daughter is indeed a master of all skills, including music, chess, literature and painting. Last time I played chess with her, she was able to calculate that I would only win by three pieces. It seems to me that she should get along very well with someone I know." As he spoke, Mr. Wei glanced at Erlang intentionally or unintentionally.

  "Is it Lady Huangmenling Zhang Cao you're referring to?" Mozi remembered.

  "Look, what was I saying? With such a clever girl, her family's daughters won't be ordinary anymore. I mentioned it once and she guessed the whole thing." Wei Shi praised Mozi again, this time speaking to Er Lang.

  "Aunt... mother, are we going further up?" Apparently, Erlang wasn't very interested in the maid.

  Mozi was used to being looked down upon and didn't feel inferior, but she wanted to give Qiu Sanniang another chance. "Madam, even if we go down the mountain from here, there's still a long way to go. Why not take a break in the pavilion and have a cup of tea?"

  "I'm rather tired, but I don't want to disturb the young lady's pleasure." Although Wei said this, she took two steps in Lin's direction.

  "Madam, it's not the first time we've met. My daughter often says she feels a connection with you. Unfortunately, you live far away, or else we'd like to spend more time together. We rarely get to meet in one place, but tomorrow we have to return to our manor. My daughter is reluctant to leave and doesn't dare disturb your peace, so she came here to play the piano, not just for her own enjoyment, but to share it with someone who appreciates music." As soon as Mozi finished speaking, he felt like he was being stared at.

  She raised her eyes and unexpectedly met Erlang's gaze head-on, startling her, she hastily lowered her head.

  "Indeed eloquent." A low, muffled voice.

  Flatter her? No, she can hear the almost imperceptible sarcasm in the voice. Looks like I should keep my mouth shut.

  "Madam, Mozi had no other intention......" Don't make a mistake because of this Second Master, Mozi showed an embarrassed expression in time, "It was Mozi's fault for speaking too much."

  "It doesn't matter. Although you've said too much, I can still understand what you mean. Your young lady and I did have some similarities when we were young. Go and inform her, if she doesn't mind, we'll just have a cup of tea together." Wei Shi gave Mo Zi an opportunity.

  "Please wait a moment, Miss, I'll be right back." Mei Zi ran lightly into the forest.

  "Second Brother, you also take a look. After all, it's for your younger brother to choose a daughter-in-law. He is not afraid of anyone now, but he is most afraid of you. If you think she is good, at least he won't make trouble on the day of the wedding ceremony." Wei Shi waited until Mo Zi walked far away and made sure she couldn't hear anything before speaking to the man beside her.

  "Does Auntie like this one?" Erlang's eyesight was exceptional, and he could see the woman's slender back in the woods. "A beauty, isn't she?" With no one else around, his calm voice had a hint of deliberate frivolity, a carefree attitude in front of his elders.

  "In Luozhou, I haven't seen a more beautiful girl than her. However—” Wei Shi hadn't made up his mind yet, “She's really not like the average young lady from a good family. Since childhood, she followed her father in business and has a personality that absolutely doesn't want to suffer losses. Even when yielding, she must step on one foot, unwilling to admit defeat. I both fancy her and don't fancy her. In our Wang Fu, everywhere is strict with rules, whether she can adapt or not, this is the first point. The second point is, if Third Young Master were to make another ruckus about divorcing his wife, would she be able to calm things down at that time?"

  "The first two are already everyone's darlings, what's the point of choosing another one?" Erlang's mouth curled up, his eyes flashing with arrogance. "I heard Auntie say that this one is a bit more resilient, maybe she can make it through who knows. Auntie, since Mother has entrusted you with full authority over this matter, you just take charge."

  "It's easy for you to say, but it's not like you're the one getting married." Wei Shi put on a stern face and glared at him, "Whose younger brother gets married before his older brother?"

  "Also, I'd like to know why no one cares about my marriage, yet they travel far and wide to seek a relationship for my younger brother who has only paid his respects at our family's ancestral hall twice?"

  Wei wanted to get him involved, but found that he couldn't get out himself, so he said, "You're reluctant to marry, don't you want to implicate your younger brother? Besides, your marriage is probably up to that person to decide, we can't even control it."

  Er Lang's expression changed upon hearing this, but he looked ahead and changed his tone, "I'll personally go welcome my aunt."

  Wei's gaze fell upon the two figures, and he nodded slightly. "She still has good manners towards her elders. Remember, when we speak later, you help me take a look at this person. Tonight, at the banquet returning to the Fu Manor, don't be like last time and not show your face. Before we leave Luozhou, we must propose marriage and bring them back together, so we need to settle this as soon as possible."

  Er Lang suddenly thought of the maid called Mozi, "The maid is so clever and capable, she might be a handful for her master. Doesn't Madam worry that Sanlang's courtyard will not have peace?"

  Wei sighed, "The first two matches were so good, yet they still caused a ruckus in Sanlang's house. Your mother and I are of the same mind, we need to find someone who can keep them under control. You mentioned Yatou, and I'm even more inclined to consider her because all the maids under Qiu San Niang are clever. That household is not just about the master being formidable, but also about being able to manage those fawning servants."

  "It's just a household matter, but listening to my aunt talk about it, it sounds as fierce as the struggle in the imperial court." Erlang didn't take it seriously, "Fortunately, Sanlang only dotes on one person, if he were to spoil many, wouldn't that be more dangerous than going into battle?"

  "You don't understand again. It's precisely because of favoritism that such troubles arise, if he were to treat everyone equally like you, it wouldn't be this bad." The man usually doesn't like to interfere with household matters, thinking that women managing the house is easy, but in fact, which large family's internal affairs isn't like a small country, with countless unsolvable problems.

  "The aunt likes this girl, what else do I need to see? Let's find someone to propose and get engaged." The man looked at the approaching Qiu San Niang, her figure as if floating on clouds, skin as white as snow, face as beautiful as a peach blossom, with an elegant and refined temperament, truly a stunning beauty. "Who knows, maybe this is the chance for my third brother's marriage to happen."

  Wei watched him intently and couldn't help but understand that he was also infatuated with her beauty.

  "Beauty is indeed beautiful, but it depends on the heart." However, she couldn't quite see clearly, sometimes good and sometimes bad, unable to grasp, making her hesitant to make a decision.
