Chapter 148 - A Good First Impression (1/2)

Ye Xiaoxian also saw them. The young man was around eighteen or nineteen years old. He had a tall and slender figure and looked like a rich youth with a nice family background. When the young man saw Lord Liu, he also bowed properly.

Judging from his behavior, he must be a very cultured man.

Ye Xiaoxian then said, “I think he looks very nice.”

“It’s only the first impression which isn’t bad but let’s observe more.”

“Do you know his name?” asked Ye Xiaoxian,

“His name is Jia Zhenbo, from a major business family. He also has an elder uncle in the provincial city as a, a…anyway he is a small official. Compared with our family we’re considered to be fairly well-matched.”

…

Jia Zhenbo had come with his pa. When they arrived on the second floor of the tea house the father and son were sitting on one side and Lord Liu sat on the other. Jia Zhenbo happened to sit right by the window, so Ye Xiaoxian and Liu Qianqian could see him clearly.

Most of the time it was the two fathers who were talking while Jia Zhenbo was listening beside them. Occasionally Lord Liu would ask him some questions and Jia Zhenbo would then answer.

Although they could not hear what Jia Zhenbo was saying, Ye Xiaoxian still found that this young man behaved very well as was not pretentious or self-important. He never interrupted anyone else and looked very scholarly and refined.

She asked Liu Qianqian quietly, “What do you think?”

Liu Qianqian actually quite liked him. She said, “He’s good-looking and has a nice bearing. I just don’t know if he’s a man of integrity, nor do I know how to test him.”

“We can test him soon.”

“How?” asked Liu Qianqian curiously.

“Now it’s time for my Baoshan to take action.”

Liu Qianqian still felt confused, wondering if Xiao Baoshan could also test whether a person has integrity or not.

“Do you have a sliver coin?” Ye Xiaoxian asked Liu Qianqian.
