MTL - Thrown Into the Wolf’s Den! Zaizai Holds Space In His Hands To Survive the Disaster Year-Chapter 539 Don't like her!
Ms. Meng, the daughter of the Minister of War, who once met Xu Jingxi, pursued her even more fiercely.
Xu Jingxi often invited Xu Jingxi to come up with the Qing Dynasty, knowing that he loved poetry and songs, so he spent his own silver poetry club and invited Xu Jingxi to participate.
However, Xu Jingxi had no intention of getting married and seriously rejected Miss Meng once.
He has made it very clear that he will not get married until his eldest and second brothers get married.
Unexpectedly, Miss Meng was not discouraged and continued to send him things every now and then.
One day, Mr. Xie went out.
Before he even reached the street, he was stopped by Miss Meng.
“Hello, Uncle Xie, I am a friend of Third Young Master Xie, and my surname is Meng.” The little girl called sweetly with a sweet mouth.
Mr. Xie Erye was startled and a little confused: "What's the matter with you? Yuan'er is not at home today."
Ms. Meng waved her hands repeatedly: "I'm here to visit you and Prime Minister Xie."
As she spoke, the maids behind her handed over four exquisitely wrapped brocade boxes.
“Spring has begun recently. Here are the snow lotus my family asked someone to buy. It can strengthen the body and is particularly helpful for your recovery, Uncle Xie. Those are some cordyceps and some secret medicine from outside the world, which can help activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis in the legs and feet.”
Mr. Xie paused for a moment: "Thank you very much for your kindness, but I will not receive any reward for no merit, so please ask Miss Meng to take it back."
Ms. Meng smiled and said, "Just accept it. These are worthless gadgets. You can make the best use of them."
Her maids were clever and had probably planned it for a long time. When Mr. Xie refused, they directly thrust the gift box into the hands of the young man behind him.
Miss Meng was afraid that Mr. Xie would refuse again, so she quickly ran away with her maid.
Looking at her back, Mr. Xie frowned helplessly.
The boy behind him had his face completely covered by the gift box: "Second Master, our Third Young Master is so charming!"
Mr. Xie pursed his lips and said, "If you are not a relative or a friend, you should not accept other people's things. You should send these to Yuan'er's yard and wait for him to come back and let him dispose of them by himself."
That evening.
Xu Jingxi went back with Ye Changyi.
Today, Xu Jingxi was invited by Taifu Ye to attend a lecture by a literary master at Ye's Mansion, so he came back a little late.
I heard that the Xie family has a calligraphy and painting collection that was left behind by the eldest lady in deep contemplation. Ye Changyi made a special trip to taste it.
As soon as Xu Jingxi entered the door, the servant did not see Ye Changyi behind him and said quickly: "The third young master is finally back. Miss Meng sent a lot of things to the first master and the second master during the day. The second master said that you should watch and deal with it."
Xu Jingxi turned around and saw four brocade boxes placed on the table in the main hall of the main room.
He stared slightly: "Give it back, thank her for me, but please don't give it to her again in the future."
At this moment, Ye Changyi asked: "You don't even want to see what it is?"
Xu Jingxi shook his head: "I don't plan to accept it. Let's see what it does."
Only then did the servant see Ye Changyi returning home, and he quickly said hello: "Miss Ye is here... I will serve tea now."
Xu Jingxi asked someone to bring the Tibetan calligraphy of a literary master.
“I just asked my uncle, you can just take it back and taste it.”
Ye Changyi thanked her and was about to leave. Suddenly, she remembered something.
“It’s my grandfather’s birthday in a few days. He asked me to invite you to come with him. Don’t forget it.”
Xu Jingxi subconsciously wanted to refuse.
Lately, Taifu Ye has invited him frequently, and he is too close to the Ye family.
But I heard my uncle Xie Suzhi say before that if you want to enter an official career in the future, then when making friends, it is best to keep the distance between gentlemen as light as water.
Now Taifu Ye is very grateful to him because of what happened last time, so he considers him his grandson.
Ye Changyi saw Xu Jingxi's hesitation, and she immediately said: "This is my grandfather's seventieth birthday, and Ning Ning will also come." Xu Jingxi then agreed: "That's good."
Afterwards, Ye Changyi wanted to go back, and Xu Jingxi specially put her on the carriage.
The carriage drove away in a hurry. When he turned around, he saw Xie Mingan leaning on the door frame, looking at him with arms folded and an eyebrow raised.
“Is it almost done?” Xie Mingan asked.
Xu Jingxi frowned: "What?"
He passed by Xie Mingan with an indifferent expression, but Xie Mingan asked in a questioning manner: "Your marriage! Recently many of my colleagues have asked me if you are going to become the grandson-in-law of the Ye family."
Xu Jingxi stopped.
He looked at Xie Mingan and smiled slightly: "Second brother, I disappoint you. What I told everyone is that I will only consider my marriage after you and the eldest brother are married."
After saying that, he lifted up his robe and left, leaving Xie Ming'an alone in a daze.
“You—! Are you still not a brother?!” Xie Mingan’s roaring and frantic voice came from behind.
The next day.
Shen Ningning and Ye Changyi went to the street together. She was going to choose some birthday gifts for Mrs. Ye who was about to celebrate her birthday.
The two of them also called Qi Xiuwei.
The three little girls spent the whole morning shopping, first searching through jewelry shops and silk and satin shops.
I bought a lot of things for myself, but I haven’t bought the gift I picked for Mr. Ye yet.
Shen Ningning looked around and was not satisfied.
A few people were tired from shopping, so they found a teahouse to sit and rest.
People were coming and going in the lobby, and the bright spring light outside cast a shadow of flowers.
"I think it's better for me to get something from the mountain. Hmm, how about giving ninety-nine pieces of spiritual grass to Grandpa Ye?" Shen Ningning said.
Ye Changyi drank tea and said: "Anyway, as long as it is a gift from you, my grandfather will definitely like it. Even if you don't give anything, he will be happy to see you."
Qi Xiuwei smiled and said: "I have already thought about it. When that day comes, I will give you the century-old ginseng that I have saved at home."
While several people were talking, suddenly, a pleasant voice sounded from the side.
“What a coincidence, Your Royal Highness, Miss Ye, Miss Qi, you are all here.”
The three of them looked to the side and saw Miss Meng walking over with a few maids.
Ye Changyi saw her, his eyes flashed, he pursed his lips and said nothing.
Shen Ningning, on the other hand, smiled and waved: "Miss Meng, are you coming to have tea too?"
“I happened to be passing by and saw you all there, so I came to say hello.”
Qi Xiuwei sat a little further to the side, and was about to ask the waiter to add a stool to Miss Meng, but she stopped her.
Miss Meng smiled brightly: "I won't sit down. I still have something to do. Your Highness, Princess. Recently, my brother came back from Huizhou and brought their Taihu pens and red sandalwood inkstones. You happen to be here, so please give them to me. Thank you, Third Young Master."
Shen Ningning was startled and waved her hands quickly: "Miss Meng, I can't collect things for my third brother. If you want to give it to me, how about giving it to him yourself?"
Ms. Meng's smile paused and she nodded: "That's right, he mentioned it to me a while ago, so I thought of giving it to him quickly, so I won't disturb you for tea."
Speaking, she briefly exchanged greetings, said goodbye and left.
Looking at her back, Qi Xiuwei couldn't help but say: "She is really attentive to Mr. Xu."
Shen Ningning echoed: "Yes, I also heard that she always comes to the house to deliver things recently. The matchmaker has introduced so many ladies on blind dates. She is the only one who has been in contact with my third brother. Maybe the third brother likes her. ?”
“No!” Ye Changyi had been silent for the whole time, but now she suddenly slapped the table so loudly that the originally noisy teahouse immediately fell silent.
Everyone’s doubtful eyes fell on her face. (End of chapter)
