Chapter 643: Expressing feelings and proposing marriage

Tao Miner was also confused, "What letter? I didn't see the letter you wrote."

Song Tanhua was stunned when he heard it.

Tao's father heard the letter and had a bad feeling. Could it be that letter?

Tao Miner seemed to think of something and turned to look at her father, "Dad, do you know the letter?"

Tao's father looked at his daughter with a guilty conscience, "Someone sent a letter the day before yesterday, but I was busy discussing the engagement at the time, and I thought it was sent by my previous blind date, so I didn't give it to you."

As soon as Tao's father finished speaking, Wang grabbed his arm, "Are you old and confused? You hid your daughter's letter and didn't give it to me."

Tao Miner looked at her unreliable father. If there was that letter, maybe she wouldn't be engaged to Mr. Chen, and there wouldn't be these troubles.

She stretched her hand in front of Tao's father, "Dad, where is the letter."

"I'll get it for you." Tao's father said and went to the room to get the letter quickly.

When the letter was brought, Tao's father felt so guilty, "Min'er, the letter is here, I haven't even seen it."

Tao Min'er saw the letter and couldn't wait to take it. The wax seal on it had not been touched. She opened the wax seal, took out the letter inside, and opened it again. It was a matter of a moment.

The letter was not long. A few words explained why she didn't come that day. Not only that, Song Tanhua also said that he would treat her to a meal to make up for it.

Missed it, missed it...

She couldn't help but complain loudly in her heart, Dad, you almost broke my marriage.

Although eating doesn't mean anything, it is also a little progress.

Song Tanhua saw Tao Min'er open the letter with his own eyes. It was only then that he realized that Tao Min'er didn't go to the appointment because she didn't see the letter.

After reading the letter, Tao Miner looked up at Song Tanhua expectantly, "Song Tanhua, is it too late to eat now?"

Song Tanhua was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "I just haven't had lunch yet."

Tao Miner said, "I didn't eat just now, so let's go together, and go to Fujiang Restaurant. The food and wine there are good. I'll treat you. Thank you Song Tanhua for exposing the scumbag today."

Song Tanhua shook his head and refused, "No, no, I said I'll treat you, so I'll treat you. Let's go now?"

"Right now, I didn't eat in the morning, and I only had two bites for lunch. I'm hungry." Tao Miner's anxious tone was almost like pulling Song Tanhua out directly.

Song Tanhua said yes, and the two went out.

Tao's father and Wang Shi watched the two figures disappear at the door before they reacted.

"Master, what's going on?"

Tao's father said, "Doesn't Min'er like Song Tanhua?"

"Song Tanhua..." Wang paused and guessed, "Does Song Tanhua have feelings for Min'er?"

Tao's father said, "How should I know? I heard that Song Tanhua is well-educated, talented, humble and polite, and is very appreciated by the emperor and the prince. Inviting Min'er to dinner may just be polite?"

"But Min'er is so happy..." Wang sighed, "Let Min'er go with her. You can't just marry Min'er off. The character of the husband's family is very important."

Tao's father nodded repeatedly, "Madam is right."

Tao Min'er was sitting in Song Tanhua's carriage. The carriage was not big, and there was enough space for two people.

Tao Min'er was excited just now because she didn't have to get engaged to Mr. Chen, and the depression in her heart was gone.

Now she is nervous, sitting in the same carriage with Song Tanhua.

Song Tanhua didn't know what to say, and both of them were silent.

It was not until they arrived at Fujiang Restaurant that the nervousness faded away.

Tao Min'er often comes to Fujiang Restaurant for dinner. The shopkeeper here is very familiar with her, so she asked for a quiet private room.

After Tao Min'er and Song Tanhua sat down face to face, they ordered dishes.

Song Tanhua said, "Miss Tao, order whatever you like. Don't be polite."

Tao Min'er would naturally not be polite. She is an old customer of this restaurant. Although she didn't come here for a few years after entering the palace, her parents also came here frequently.

"Then what do you want to eat?"

Song Tanhua thought for a while and said, "I like something lighter."

Tao Min'er felt a little disappointed when she heard this, because her taste was a little heavy and she liked spicy food. Speaking of spicy food, she hadn't eaten hot pot for a long time.

It seems that she and Song Tanhua are less compatible again.

But soon, she thought of the Crown Princess and the Crown Prince. The Crown Princess likes spicy food, but His Highness doesn't like it. His taste is a bit similar to Song Tanhua's, and he likes light food.

So, she still has a little chance?

Seeing her holding the menu without saying anything, Song Tanhua asked in confusion, "Miss Tao, what's wrong?"

Tao Min'er suddenly came back to her senses, "I'm fine, I'll order the dishes."

She lowered her head and continued to order dishes.

She ordered four dishes, two of which were light, and the other two were to her taste.

After ordering, the waiter walked out with the menu.

It was past mealtime, so the dishes were served quickly.

Four dishes and one soup, all delicious.

Song Tanhua glanced at the food in front of him, two meat dishes, two vegetables, and a bowl of chicken soup.

Tao Miner was really hungry. She picked up two pieces of meat with chopsticks and ate them. She asked casually, "Song Tanhua, what were you busy with the past few days?"

Song Tanhua looked up at Tao Miner and said softly, "I caught a cold a few days ago and rested at home for three days."

Tao Miner paused chewing and couldn't help but worry, "Are you okay now? It's cold and you can catch a cold if you're not careful."

Song Tanhua said, "I'm fine now."

Tao Miner pursed her lips and looked at Song Tanhua. She couldn't help but wonder if Song Tanhua wrote to her four days later because he caught a cold.

It should be. Song Tanhua is humble and polite, pays attention to etiquette and keeps his promises.

"Song Tanhua."

Song Tanhua looked up, "Hmm?"

Tao Miner hesitated for a while, not knowing how to start. She wanted to confess directly, but Song Tanhua was a scholar and upright.

What if she suddenly confessed and scared him?

Song Tanhua was different from Jun Wuxian.

"Why did Song Tanhua come to my house today?"

Song Tanhua explained: "I was waiting for you at Fujiang Restaurant yesterday, but I didn't see you coming, so I felt a little abrupt."

Tao Miner didn't know how long Song Tanhua waited yesterday. Someone like Song Tanhua, who kept his promise, must have waited for a long time before leaving.

"I kept you waiting in vain. I didn't expect you to give me a gift."

Song Tanhua said, "We have known each other for a long time. It is only right for me to give you some gifts, but..."

Tao Miner asked, "But what?"

Song Tanhua said, "I didn't expect you to get engaged so soon. It was also a coincidence that I came to your house on the day of your engagement."

Tao Miner smiled, "That means it must be God's arrangement to arrange you to save me from the scumbag. Otherwise, if I didn't know the truth, I would find out when I got married next spring, and it would be too late."

Song Tanhua was stunned when he heard this.

Tao Miner said again: "I don't like Mr. Chen. My parents want me to get married early. I'm not young anymore. The Crown Princess is younger than me and her child is three years old. When I met Mr. Chen that day, he impressed me as gentle and polite, knowing when to advance and retreat. He was different from the men I had dated before. He was like a human being, and then I compromised. I didn't expect that those were all his disguises, and I was also deceived by his disguise."

Song Tanhua listened quietly, and understood why Tao Miner would make such a choice. Tao Miner came out of the palace, and her age was there, so it was normal for her parents to be anxious.

That's why she was deceived by Mr. Chen.

Tao Miner reminded: "Song Tanhua, eat quickly, otherwise the food will get cold."

"Yeah." Song Tanhua responded and continued to eat the rice in the bowl.

After lunch, Song Tanhua sent Tao Miner back.

Fujiang Restaurant was not far from Tao Mansion, and it didn't take long to arrive.

After the carriage stopped, Tao Miner looked up at Song Tanhua who was sitting opposite. He was wearing a plain long gown, with a handsome face, sitting upright, and full of the fragrance of books.

"I'm going back."

Song Tanhua nodded, "Yeah."

Tao Miner then retracted her gaze, pushed the door open and walked out. Ji Yuan had already taken down the horse stool. She stepped on the horse stool and got off. After walking a few steps, she heard someone asking behind her.

"Miss Tao, you just said that Mr. Chen looked like someone, who was that person?"

Tao Miner paused and looked back. She found that Song Tanhua had come out of the carriage at some point and was standing next to the carriage.

At this glance, she found that his face was a little pale. She didn't know if it was because he had just recovered from an illness or because of the cold wind.

She thought for a while, then walked back a few steps and came to Song Tanhua.

She was a little embarrassed, but Song Tanhua asked, so why not take this opportunity to tell it?

After struggling for a while, she looked up at Song Tanhua again and told a very simple secret.

"Far away in the horizon, close at hand."

Song Tanhua is in the top three, and he was named Tanhua because of his handsome appearance.

Song Tanhua knew that Tao Miner was talking about him without thinking.

He was stunned for a while. He was just curious and wanted to know who Tao Miner was talking about. Because Mr. Chen looked a bit like him, he compromised.

It turned out that he looked like himself.

Song Tanhua felt a little ashamed, "I am too stupid."

Tao Miner stared at Song Tanhua without blinking, and didn't know what he meant by this sentence?

Because she wanted to know, she asked.

"What does Song Tanhua mean by this?"

Song Tanhua bowed his hands, "I am too stupid. I only know Miss Tao's feelings now."

"It's okay, you don't have to feel burdened. It's my business to like you. That's it. I'll go back first." Tao Miner turned around and left after saying this. She finally mustered up the courage to express her feelings.

After she finished speaking, she realized that it was much better than keeping it in her heart.

Song Tanhua stood there, watching Tao Miner walk into the Tao Mansion, he retracted his gaze, "Go back."

After saying that, he got on the carriage.

Ji Yuan scratched his head and got on the carriage with a puzzled look.

When Tao Miner stepped into the main hall, she saw her parents sitting on chairs drinking tea. When they saw her come back, they put down their teacups at the same time as if they had discussed it, and walked over at the same time.

"Miner, have you finished your meal?"

"Where's Song Tanhua? Did he go home?"

Tao Miner nodded, "I finished my meal and went home."

Tao's father looked gossipy: "When did you and Song Tanhua become so familiar with each other?"

Wang's face was also gossipy: "Why haven't I heard you mention it before? If I had known, I should have invited Song Tanhua to my house for a meal and some wine."

Tao Miner told the truth: "I met him in the palace."

Tao's father and Wang said "Oh" at the same time, and then opened their eyes wide to look at their daughter?

"In the palace, you flirted with Song Tanhua?"

Tao Min'er: "..." Dad, you are so bold

"What flirting? That's the imperial palace. If you are caught doing something wrong, you will be sent to the cold palace."

Wang pinched Tao's father's arm again, "Stop talking nonsense. If something happens to my daughter, I will never forgive you."

"I just asked casually. Didn't Min'er leave the palace?" Tao's father looked at his daughter again, still with a curious look on his face, and asked: "Then how are you, Song Tanhua, now?"

"I have told Song Tanhua that I like him. That's it. I'm tired and going to take a nap."

Tao Min'er yawned and returned to the boudoir.

Father Tao and Mrs. Wang looked at each other, "What does this look like?"

Without Mr. Chen and the engagement, Tao Miner felt relaxed and had breakfast happily.

I was thinking about whether I should go to Tanhua Mansion to wait for him to come back in the afternoon and ask him to go to dinner or go to the theater.

Thinking about eating yesterday and eating again today, is it too urgent?

Tao Miner sighed.

"Min'er, Min'er..."

From a distance, Tao Min'er heard her mother calling her. She raised her head and saw Mrs. Wang running in. She reminded: "Mom, please be careful. She is an elderly person. If she falls, But how good is it?”

Mrs. Wang looked unconcerned and said cheerfully: "Someone came to propose marriage."

Tao Min'er said without thinking: "Put it down, I don't want to marry anyone now."

Wang was still smiling: "Silly daughter, how can you back out? Don't you like Song Tanhua? Now people are coming to propose marriage, why are you unhappy?"

Tao Min'er was stunned for a moment, suspecting that she heard wrongly. She raised her head and looked at Mrs. Wang, "Mom, did you just say that you came to propose marriage?"

Wang said: "Song Tanhua."

Tao Min'er still couldn't believe it, "How is it possible? How could he come to propose marriage? He didn't even mention it yesterday. If he had such an idea, why didn't he say it yesterday?"

Mrs. Wang said happily: "Daughter, go out and take a look. Song Tanhua is here too."

Tao Min'er was stunned for a moment, stood up and ran out.

Seeing this, Mrs. Wang reminded her while chasing her: "Min'er, slow down, the snow is slippery, what will happen if you fall?"

Tao Min'er ran to the main hall in one breath and saw several people sitting in the main hall, including her father and Song Tanhua.

The other two people are... His Highness and the Crown Princess.

She was so shocked that she didn't react for a while.

Yesterday, after Song Tanhua returned, she went directly to the palace.

Xiao Jinyan was reviewing the memorial at that time. When he saw Song Tanhua coming in a hurry, he thought there was something urgent.

I saw him kneeling on the ground with a plop, "Your Highness, I have come to propose marriage."

No matter how calm Xiao Jinyan was, he was still stunned for a moment. Yesterday, Xiaojiu said that Song Tanhua was not as good as her brother, but today she came to propose marriage?

"Which daughter do you like?"

Song Tanhua said: "Your Highness, it's Tao Min'er."

Xiao Jinyan was happy, the speed seemed not too slow

"I will do whatever I promise you."

Song Tanhua added: "Wei Chen wants to ask the Crown Princess to be a matchmaker."

Xiao Jinyan chuckled softly: "You know how to think about Tao Min'er. However, the Crown Princess has a good relationship with Tao Min'er, so she is naturally willing to be the matchmaker. Just pick a good day and inform me."

Song Tanhua said: "I've already picked it, it's tomorrow."

Good night spicy!
