Chapter 17: The Purple Jade Pith

Steward Yao asked lightly, "Miss and Bai Gongzi are gone?" ”

Yao Yao replied listlessly, "Well, let's go." ”

"The status is noble but humble and polite, even for those of us who are subordinates, and a character like Bai Gongzi is indeed rare among Gongzi brothers." Yao Sheng praised.

Yao Yao nodded reluctantly, Yao Sheng couldn't help but sigh when he saw his daughter's expression, hugged her shoulders, and said earnestly: "Such a man is not something that people of our status can afford, not to mention that he is also Miss Qiu's fiancΓ©." Not to mention that Miss Qiu's wealth is enough to make all the men in the world fall under her pomegranate dress, and even if she doesn't have such a look, she is the only daughter of the Overseer. You've been with Miss since you were a child, and you know how much the Overseer loves his daughter, how could he allow his son-in-law to have anything to do with other women? You just listen to your father's words, and completely break your mind about Bai Gongzi, okay? ”

A wet mist became thicker and thicker in Yao Yao's eyes, and when Yao Sheng finished speaking, this fog had already brewed a misty drizzle, and the rain dripped on Yao Yao's whiter and whiter cheeks more and more urgently, Yao Sheng took his daughter into his arms in distress and patted her gently like a baby.

When Yao Yao gradually put away her tears, she sobbed and said to her father, "I understand...... It's not that I haven't thought about what you're saying, but ......" Yao Yao clutched her heart tightly, as if she could keep it in this way.

"But I'm not reconciled, I hate it...... Why does she have both a noble birth and such a beautiful look? Why does she have to do nothing to easily get Bai Gongzi's heart? Why is everything hers? And I don't even have the qualifications to like Bai Gongzi, why?! ”

Yao Sheng gagged his daughter's mouth in horror, "You just think about these things in your heart, how can you say it?" Pitchers have ears! If someone else hears it, our family won't want to live! ”

Yao Yao's mood gradually stabilized, and Yao Sheng asked again: "In the past three months, you have been with Miss to see Bai Gongzi every day. Do you know what you think? ”

"I don't know."

"Do you not know if Miss knows, or does Miss not know?"

"Miss shouldn't know, otherwise she would have talked to me a long time ago, and she wouldn't let me see Bai Gongzi again." Yao Yao replied with a dead face.

Steward Yao breathed a sigh of relief and sighed, "That's good." Otherwise, we really won't be able to stay in Tong's house. Although Mademoiselle has always treated you well, she will never be able to protect you in this matter. ”

"I know that if you choose between Qiu Yiyou and me, everyone will choose her." Yao Yao said viciously.

Steward Yao held her daughter's hand, "At least Daddy will definitely choose you." You must not show your feet in front of outsiders, and my father wants to discuss it with you, Zheng Feng, the personal deputy general of the Overseer, seems to be ......"

"Daddy! I can promise you that you will no longer have illusions about Bai Gongzi, but I will definitely not accept Zheng Feng, you don't even think about it! Yao Yao said angrily.

"Okay, as long as you stay away from Bai Gongzi, we won't consider this Zheng Feng first, in fact, my father is reluctant to let you marry someone else so early. Then you can take a good rest first, Dad will go first. ”

Yao Yao hugged her father who was about to go out again, and choked up, "Dad...... Thank you ......."

Steward Yao patted her daughter's hand, "Silly girl, are you still so polite to your father?" Let's go and rest......"

Bai Qiaoxuan pulled Tong Yuqing out and asked casually, "Chinese and Western food?" ”

Tong Yuqing's face was embarrassed, and she didn't say anything for a long time, Bai Qiaoxuan said again: "It's rare to rest today, and I didn't get up until the beginning of my life." I came to you without eating early, and I'm a little hungry now. ”

Bai Qiaoxuan always has a way to make himself feel less guilty even if he makes a mistake, Tong Yuqing thought for a while and said, "You come and choose a place, I don't care." ”

"Miss Tong, you have thought about it for so long and then you replied to me like this? I will never choose this place today, if you still don't want to eat, let's go to Chaobi Lake to enjoy the scenery first. Bai Qiaoxuan teased.

"Okay, let's go to Mavis Cafe for some snacks first, and then we'll go to Chaobi Lake after eating."

Bai Qiaoxuan opened the car door, "Please, Miss Tong." ”

Tong Yuqing smiled and said nothing, and after Bai Qiaoxuan got in the car, he said, "It seems that you have been in a good mood recently, it should be influenced by someone." ”

Bai Qiaoxuan raised his eyebrows and pretended to think for a moment, "So if you want to come to thank you, you can't always cram, right?" ”

Tong Yuqing laughed and shook her head continuously, "Don't dare to be, I don't dare to be, I'm not as great as the Buddha." ”

"Anyway, you're the living treasure I have to offer right now. Today, whatever you want to eat, drink, do and play, I will be with you to the end. ”

"Then stop talking now and concentrate on driving. I don't want you to have any accidents with me. ”

"Yes! But it seems like you told me first, right? Bai Qiaoxuan squinted at Tong Yuqing and smiled.

"You ......" Bai Qiaoxuan looked at Tong Yuqing's angry red face and laughed again, and Tong Yuqing was teased by Bai Qiaoxuan for a long time, and her depressed mood last night was also swept away.

Mavis Cafe is located in the southern suburbs of Yejin, because of its remote location and high prices, few people care about it, which is why Tong Yuqing chose here. Bai Qiaoxuan chose a remote location by the window, and people outside could hardly see them. At this point, the two of them have the same thoughts, and they don't want to be disturbed by some uninvited guests or uninvited things to disturb the good mood of the day.

After eating, Tong Yuqing looked at the box Nunu beside Bai Qiaoxuan and asked, "What is it?" When you get out of the car, you hold it carefully. ”

Bai Qiaoxuan showed a mysterious smile, slowly picked up the box and slowly placed it in front of Tong Yuqing, and then motioned for Tong Yuqing to open the box.

Tong Yuqing only felt that her eyes were shaken by a soft purple light, she looked at Bai Qiaoxuan in shock, and asked incoherently, "Is this...... Purple chalcedony you ...... Where did you get that? ”

Bai Qiaoxuan smiled implicitly, "You don't have to worry about this, you just need to tell me if you like it or not." ”

"This ...... Are you going to give it to me? Tong Yuqing asked in disbelief.

"What is in front of you is not for you, but for whom?" Bai Qiaoxuan asked rhetorically.

Tong Yuqing shook her head and pushed the box towards Bai Qiaoxuan, "No...... It's too precious. The size of a pigeon's egg is a rarity, and I have never seen such a large amount of chalcedony. What's more, this piece of purple chalcedony is dark purple-red in color, and there is no impurities at all, which is the top grade of purple chalcedony. It's a priceless treasure, so keep it yourself. You have to thank me, just invite me to eat a few more meals and play a few times. ”

Bai Qiaoxuan pushed the box back to Tong Yuqing again, "I'm not a collector, and I'm not interested in purple chalcedony. It's useless for me, and you can polish it into earrings, necklaces, or bracelets to wear. ”

Tong Yuqing pushed it back again and said, "Then you give it to Youyou...... Isn't that just right? ”

Bai Qiaoxuan hugged the box and smiled: "If it is white jade, I will give it to Youyou, but isn't it purple?" Don't argue with me about whether you want it or not, if you don't, I'll just throw it here as garbage. ”

"You ......" Tong Yuqing was once again blocked by Bai Qiaoxuan and couldn't speak.

Bai Qiaoxuan closed the box with a smile and asked, "What jewelry do you want?" I'll have someone polish it and send it to you. ”

Tong Yuqing drooped her head, "Then a pair of bracelets." But that's right, I only need a pair of bracelets, and you can dispose of the remaining purple chalcedony after polishing the bracelet, otherwise I will never accept it. Also, you won't be able to give me such a valuable gift in the future! ”

Bai Qiaoxuan saw that Tong Yuqing had already given in, and he also took a step, "Okay." In fact, you don't have to care if this piece of purple chalcedony is valuable. I'm a lot more cunning than you think. I bought your eloquent mouth with something I didn't care about, and I wouldn't have to worry about no one to help me say good things in front of Yoyo in the future. ”

Tong Yuqing saw Bai Qiaoxuan with a wicked smile on his face, and couldn't help but want to reach out and hit him, how could Bai Qiaoxuan honestly let Tong Yuqing succeed? Tong Yuqing slapped him to the right and flashed to the left, and he flashed to the right when he fanned to the left, just like that, Tong Yuqing didn't even touch Bai Qiaoxuan's clothes in the left and right dodge, she couldn't help but scream in annoyance, which made Bai Qiaoxuan laugh.

"Listening to the sound outside, I felt a little familiar, but I didn't expect it to be you."

Tong Yuqing saw Qiu Lingwei walk in and immediately sat up straight, with a smile on her face, "What a coincidence, Brother Lingjiong, are you also here to drink coffee?" ”

Bai Qiaoxuan also stopped laughing instantly, stood up and gave Qiu Lingwei a little place, "Let's sit down together, Brother Lingxi." ”

Qiu Lingwei thought of the laughter of the two before he entered the house, looked at the empty table again, and said with a smile: "You've finished eating, right?" I still have friends waiting for me outside, so I won't accompany you. It's been a long time since you've seen each other to catch up on the old days, so I'll go first. ”

Walking to the door, Qiu Lingjian turned back to Tong Yuqing and said, "By the way, Yuqing, I haven't thanked you for interceding for me in front of my father." I'll have a banquet another day to thank you. ”

Tong Yuqing was confused, and after thinking for a while, he realized that he should be referring to something that he had something to do with his uncle, did he think that it was his own intercession that saved him from punishment? Was he genuinely grateful or deliberately tempted?

Tong Yuqing couldn't judge for a while, and after thinking about it again, she replied with a smile: "You don't have to be polite Brother Ling, it's all family, this is what I should do." ”

After Qiu Lingqi left, there was silence in the room for a while, Bai Qiaoxuan looked at Tong Yuqing's depressed face as last night, and asked tentatively, "Yuqing, ...... yesterday"

"Qiao Xuan, let's not mention these unhappy things first, okay? When we swim across Chaobi Lake, I'll tell you at dinner that those people and those things are okay. ”

Bai Qiaoxuan acquiesced, and immediately changed the topic, "By the way, I received a letter from my father yesterday, saying that my sister wants to come to Yejin to live for a while. ”

"Your sister is coming? I remember you mentioned to me that she is nine years old and her name is Ah Yin, right? ”

Bai Qiaoxuan replied: "That's right, but Ayin is her milk name, and her real name is Bai Jiayin." The words of Jia, the greenery. ”

Bai Jiayin...... Good name, your sister must be a beauty. ”

Bai Qiaoxuan smiled and waved her hand, "She's still so young, what can she tell if it's beautiful or not?" ”

Tong Yuqing smiled again and asked, "Did you tell Uncle Qiu about this?" ”

"Not yet, I'm going to talk to him tomorrow at the Overseer's Mansion."

"It's fine." Tong Yuqing stood up and stretched her body, and said with a smile: "It's a little uncomfortable to sit for a long time." ”

"Then let's go to Chaobi Lake now?" Bai Qiaoxuan also stood up.

Tong Yuqing showed a bright smile and happily accepted Bai Qiaoxuan's proposal......
