Chapter 148: If I Ask for Marriage (1st Update)
Ye Xuan smiled on his lips, his long eyebrows were raised lightly, his eyes were lightly closed, and his eyes were shining. He was still leaning against the window, reflecting the clear sunlight outside the window, and the face of the fair-skinned noble boy was like jade.
Chen Qiuniang tilted her head slightly and looked at the man in front of her, only to feel that under the sun, this man looked better than when she first met last night. This extravagant dress is worth such a face, and the whole body is full of luxury, sitting by the window, and it looks more and more handsome.
There are so many beautiful men in ancient times. Maybe it's the elegance of the etiquette, or maybe it's the pollution-free environment.
She was whimsical, admiring the beautiful man in front of her, leaning lazily on the cushion behind the soft couch, without the slightest intention to answer Ye Xuan.
"How?" He saw that Chen Qiuniang, who was sitting opposite, had not answered for a long time, so he leaned forward slightly and asked softly.
Chen Qiuniang smiled, glanced at him, and said jokingly: "Is this what Gongzi meant?" β
"Nature." Ye Xuan spit out these two words, his eyes were still looking at her, and his eyes were extremely sincere, and he couldn't see a trace of lying.
Chen Qiuniang looked at his appearance and muttered in her heart: If this person is not real, I am afraid that he has undergone special training, even if the lie detector is brought, it may not be able to measure it.
"Oh, you and I have only met once, and now we have only met for the second time. Ye Sangongzi asked to be close to me, wouldn't he be hasty? Chen Qiuniang was still lazily reclining on the cushion, and her tone was soft.
Ye Xuan lowered his eyes, then put his cheek on his cheek with one hand, looked at the green mountains outside the window, and said casually: "Take care of the city, and then look at the country." It's the first time to fall in love with you, how can you say it is hasty? β
"I don't know what can make the son fall in love, so that it's too late for the matchmaker to bring the paperwork and hurriedly ask for a kiss?" Chen Qiuniang also held her cheeks with one hand, looked at Ye Xuan, and secretly thought about the cause and effect of Ye Xuan's move.
Ye Xuan turned his head, looked at Chen Qiuniang with burning eyes, and said, "At a young age, let this Yunlai Hotel rejuvenate your skill." In the battle of Zhuxi Mountain, I heard that even if Zhang Ergongzi does not calculate properly, you can get out of danger safely; Moreover, if you can tolerate aphrodisiac incense to that extent, this is not an ordinary person. β
"Gone?" The smile was still on Chen Qiuniang's face, and her tone was careless.
Ye Xuan also smiled and said, "Hmm." Of course, although the girl is young and her figure has not yet grown, this face will definitely be the face of the world one day. Everyone has a love for beauty. β
"Ye Gongzi's words are like an endorsement, I didn't see the slightest bit of affection for me from Gongzi's eyes." Chen Qiuniang stretched her waist and sat upright to look at the Lanxi River downstairs, the guards of the Ye family and the guards of the Zhu family were tense, and it seemed that they could start a war at any time and mingle.
Ye Xuan shook his head and said, "Miss Chen said so, but her heart is broken, you look at my sincere eyes, how can you not see my love?" β
"Don't pretend, this is the result of your discussion." Chen Qiuniang got straight to the point.
Ye Xuan let out an "ah" in surprise and said, "Aren't you in a coma?" β
Chen Qiuniang laughed and said, "Didn't Jing Liang tell you?" I'm just stagnant in my qi and blood, I can't speak, I can't see, but my consciousness is still clear. β
"He really didn't say that." Ye Xuan gasped, sat up straight, frowned slightly, and whispered to himself, "What kind of heart does this guy have?" β
"What kind of heart he has, we'll talk about it later. You can see that your people are removed, and I am still open for business. If you are surrounded like this, the loss of my restaurant is not a matter of one or two taels of silver. Chen Qiuniang sat in front of the coffee table and cut to the chase.
"Don't." Ye Xuan shook his head and refused categorically, and then before Chen Qiuniang could say the next sentence, he said, "I will bear all the losses or something." β
"Commitment?" Chen Qiuniang sneered and said, "There are a lot of silver dollars lost. But how can you compensate for the damage to my Yunlai Hotel's signboard like this? Although the Ye family is mainly engaged in salt production, they are no strangers to business. β
Ye Xuan was speechless for a while, so she said: "Do business at the next door, and hope that Ye Sangongzi Haihan will let your people withdraw." β
"Seeing that the Zhu family is so rampant, I just don't want to withdraw. Wouldn't it be shameless to withdraw me? Ye Xuan shook his head.
Chen Qiuniang stood up and said, "Don't worry, if you come here in person, how can you let Ye Gongzi lose face." At this moment, you are still the guest of our wealthy feast. β
"Really." Ye Xuan squinted slightly, looking at it with some disbelief.
Chen Qiuniang ignored him, turned the screen directly, and said to the man in black outside the door, "Go and let all your people withdraw." β
"Thisβ" The man in black looked embarrassed, and looked inside the room with his eyes, meaning that his son-in-law had not spoken yet.
"You go and say that Ye Sangongzi will give Jiang Gongzi face, withdraw first, and I will come in person for the rest of the matter." Chen Qiuniang said to the black man. The man was still looking into the house, waiting for her master's decision.
"Xiao Lin, you can just listen to Jiang Gongzi's orders." Ye Xuan said in the house.
Chen Qiuniang took this Xiao Lin to the outside of the house in person, and Xiao Lin shouted: "Everyone, the son commands, give this Jiang Gongzi face, withdraw to rest, and stand by in place." β
The Ye family guards may not like the rampant Zhu family guards, and they can't wait to have a good fight with the Zhu family guards, but now that they hear that the order to rest is withdrawn, they are all a little unhappy.
"Listen to my orders, take a step back, step back. Assemble in formation and withdraw to the same place. Xiao Lin shouted loudly.
The Ye family's escort team just began to retreat and assemble, and at this moment, under Chen Qiuniang's nose, a person dressed as a small leader in the Zhu family's guard moved his mouth to the Ye family's guard who had confronted him before, and made a gesture to wipe his neck, and the whole person's expression was extremely rampant.
Seeing this, the Ye family's guard was about to pounce forward, Xiao Lin shouted, and let the man retreat. Chen Qiuniang walked up to the man and said, "If you want to search my Yunlai Hotel, let you be responsible for coming to see me." β
That person saw that it was Chen Qiuniang, and he also knew that the rumors outside were spreading one after another, saying that this Jiang Gongzi was actually a beautiful girl, and he might be the head of the Zhu family. He immediately bowed and said, "It turned out to be Gongzi Jiang, and the younger one came to see Gongzi Jiang." β
Chen Qiuniang ignored it, and someone next to her came in a hurry, bowed to Chen Qiuniang, and said, "Gongzi Jiang, we were ordered to search Yunlai Hotel." Please also ask Jiang Gongzi to raise his noble hand and let us search. β
"If you want to search, can you have a letter from the government?" As soon as Chen Qiuniang opened the folding fan, she asked the person who came later. The man looked like the leader of the search.
"Thisβthe seal of the government." This person was embarrassed, obviously they thought that no one was not afraid of the Zhu family, except for the Zhang family in Liuhe Town. The Zhang family, the Zhu family also resolutely did not dare to forcibly move, even the seal of the government was useless, everyone was a person with outstanding military merits and in charge of the army. At this moment, Zhu Gongzi is coming to negotiate with the Zhang family.
"Since there is no official seal letter, you want to search my Yunlai Hotel, and my son will let you search, this is my friendship with Zhu Gongzi. But you don't know what's going on, and it's so rampant that you dare to wave your sword at the guests of my wealthy feast, and even threaten them. I'll have to give my son an explanation for this, or apologize to my guest right away. When Chen Qiuniang arrived, her tone and expression were all cold.
The man was stunned, obviously the Zhu family's guards have always been rampant, while the Zhang family's guards have always been low-key, and the two families have never clashed. Even if it was Tianxianglou, a relatively high-end place in Liuhe Town, the Wang family had never shown any face to the Zhu family guards. So, they probably never encountered such a thing. At the same time that the leader was stunned, the guy next to him who had just made a gesture to threaten people immediately looked fierce, and said, "What are you-"
When the leader saw it, he immediately covered his mouth and scolded, "Shut up." Then he said to Chen Qiuniang: "It's a small discipline that has no way, and I ask Jiang Gongzi to forgive me." β
"This person is just the right person to threaten the guests of my wealthy feast, and now he is not big or small offending me, you can watch it, right?" Chen Qiuniang waved her wide sleeves, and her face was cold.
The leader looked at it, pursed his lips, and drew his knife out of its sheath.
Chen Qiuniang immediately frowned and said, "My restaurant is going to do business, I see blood or something, who will take care of my business?" Your son-in-law is still thinking about buying shares. β
"Little confused, thank you Gongzi Jiang for your understanding." The leader bowed.
Chen Qiuniang waved her hand and said, "Don't see blood at my door, go elsewhere." β
She is really not a saint, these people are too rampant, and it is Chai Yu who is being hunted down. When she thought of Chai Yu, she felt even more uncomfortable looking at these people in front of her.
"You, what are you?" The man struggled and cursed.
"No blood. Handle it yourself. Chen Qiuniang didn't look at the person, only at the leader.
The leader answered, and stepped forward and gave the man a few palms, and all his legs and feet were broken, and he slapped him on the chest, and the man was speechless, as if he was about to vomit blood. The leader shouted: "Jiang Gongzi said, you can't see blood." β
Someone next to him immediately covered his mouth with a silk scarf, and the leader ordered: "Drag it away." And the man was dragged away like a dead dog. The leader turned his head and said to Chen Qiuniang: "I don't know if Jiang Gongzi is satisfied?" β
Chen Qiuniang fanned the fan one by one, and said, "It's quite clever." But how are you doing with my guests? This rich feast is full of dignitaries and nobles. You have to make enemies for your son-in-law, and when the time comes, your son-in-law blames you for not doing things well, and my son-in-law can't protect you. β
The leader hesitated for a moment, then turned to Xiao Lin, and arched his hand and said: "I am also acting under orders, brothers were busy all night last night, and it is inevitable that they will be a little angry, and they will offend Brother Tai, and please forgive Brother Tai and your brother." By the way, make amends to your son-in-law for me. β
Xiao Lin was instructed by Ye Xuan to evacuate people, but he never expected Chen Qiuniang to let them withdraw so comfortably, and immediately gave up his hand and said: "We are also acting on orders, and my brother is polite." β
After a polite exchange between the two, Xiao Lin sorted out the guards and went to protect and deploy. And the leader is going to enter the Yunlai Hotel. Chen Qiuniang folded the fan and said, "It's not appropriate for so many people to go in and search." I'm not a casual place, every object is of the highest quality, if you touch it, it's not good. β
The leader's expression was a little impatient, but he still patiently asked Chen Qiuniang for advice. Chen Qiuniang knew that this dismount was almost here, so she was not embarrassed, and only said: "You can pick a few clever and intelligent ones to search, and the rest will guard the four gates, so that's it." β
After she finished speaking, she shouted loudly: "Panqing, you take them to search every room and every corner." lest you say that you didn't search carefully and search again. β
Pan Qinglang replied "Hao Lak" in a loud voice, and then rushed to the front from the house. Chen Qiuniang raised her hand, flicked her long sleeves, turned around and went upstairs to the private room of Youlanxuan.
In the private room, Ye Xuan sat by the window, had ordered a pot of tea, and the waitress serving the tea was kneeling on the soft couch, washing the teacups.
"In this way, is Ye Sangongzi still satisfied?" Chen Qiuniang threw it on the table next to him, flicked her wide sleeves, and sat down opposite him.
"Jiang Gongzi is very loving, this tone in my heart is smooth." Ye Xuan smiled.
Chen Qiuniang rolled up her sleeves and said to the waiter, "You go out, I'll come here." β
When the waiter retreated, Chen Qiuniang personally shook the pu fan to boil the water, looking focused. Ye Xuan was silent for a long time and said, "I didn't expect you to do this." β
"It's an elegant thing, and it's not ashamed, I'll have something unusual." Chen Qiuniang still focused on the heat. This stove for boiling water was also designed by her, and was made by blacksmiths and masons, and in this time and space, it is only available in the feasts of wealthy families.
"Graceful?" Ye Xuan's voice seemed to be talking to himself.
"Yes, absolutely." Chen Qiuniang replied very firmly, and then remembered her grandmother. Her grandmother is the eldest maid of the young master of the Dai family, and she has grown up with the young master of the Dai family since she was a child, and the young master of the Dai family likes to drink tea. My grandmother worked hard to make tea, and her tea-making technique could make the so-called tea performers embarrassed. Later, my grandmother left the Dai family, but the habit of making tea has not changed, and the choice of tea leaves, you can know the quality of the tea at a glance, smell and touch.
For my grandmother, if it is related to that person, I will do it all carefully. So much so that Chen Qiuniang later knew that Dai Yuanqing was her cousin, and she was powerless to blame her grandmother, some of them were just sad and distressed by fate.
"I thought that these things had always been made by domestic children." Ye Xuan sat upright, took a cup of green tea handed over by Chen Qiuniang, smelled it, and said, "Moreover, I have never seen such a tea-making technique, looking at your mannerisms and actions, this tea-making and tasting tea is really an elegant thing." β
"Of course. The meandering water flows in the drunken eyes and hazy eyes, and poetry can be an elegant thing. This tea and tea meditation on the ups and downs of the world, traveling for nine days, thinking about thousands of years, is not elegant? Chen Qiuniang herself also took a cup, smelled it, took a sip, and said, "This tea is really fragrant, it seems that in a few days, I will have to go to a famous mountain and sign a contract with the local tea farmers." β
"Your way of making tea is different from that of the official family." Ye Xuanyou took another sip.
"The things of the feast of the rich are different from other places." Chen Qiuniang replied.
The two chatted casually about the art of making tea. After two cups of tea, those who searched for Chai Yu also searched the feast of the wealthy family, and Chen Qiuniang went straight to the point and reconfirmed: "The fact that you want to marry me is the result of your agreement, right?" βRS
