Chapter 6 Proposals
Yi Qi Mancao was angry, but he was not angry with Aunt Ji.
Si family, Jiangmen home. The Si family has two sons, Si Nan, who is the young master of the Si family, graduated from the Baoding Military Academy, only nineteen years old, but is already a major general. Even if it is a foreigner in the concession and several leaders of the young gang in Shanghai, he never deliberately tries to curry favor, and has always abided by the principle: "People don't offend me, I don't offend people; If anyone sins against me, give three points; If someone offends me again, I will give me one shot; People still offend me, cut down the grass and eradicate the roots. ”
The first time Yi Qi Mancao heard the name "Sinan", he still heard Yi Qi Wanxi say it.
Yi Qi Mancao was only eleven years old that year, and Yi Qi Wanxi was two years older than her, and she was only thirteen years old. Yi Qi Wanxi dragged Yi Qi vine grass to the candy store on the corner to buy candy, and when she was on the street, a car sped by. Yi Qi Mancao frowned, turned around and scolded the back of the car: "Why are you driving so fast?" Hurry up and go to reincarnation!"
As soon as the voice fell, Yi Qi Wanxi covered her mouth, and her sister's voice came into her eardrums from her ears, and her tone was very soft, but very stern: "That's the car of Si Nan, the little young master of the Si family."
Yi Qi Mancao broke away from Yi Qi Wanxi, and didn't look at Yi Qi Wanxi, only looked at the vehicles that disappeared on the street, and said unhappily: "Who cares what he does!" What should I do if I drive such a fast car and hit someone!"
"Shh Yi Qi Wanxi saw that Yi Qi Mancao was getting more and more excited, afraid that she would say something excessive, so she hurriedly stopped her, "If you dare to drive like that, you must dare to guarantee that nothing will happen, he can't joke with his life, right?" ”
After thinking for a while, he felt that Yi Qi Wanxi was reasonable, and Yi Qi Mancao calmed down.
The first time Yi Qi Mancao saw Sinan was in the spring of fifteen years old. And the so-called fate is about that. The angry words that Yi Qi Mancao said were almost verified in himself.
It was a sunny day, the peach blossoms were scorching, and there was a piece of spring light. Yi Qi Mancao missed her sister, so she went to the dock where she saw her off when she was twelve years old, and when she came back from the dock, she went to the candy store where she always went with her sister. Just as she was crossing the street, a black sedan sped towards her. Yi Qi Mancao only looked at the car, his mind was blank for a moment, and he muttered, "Sister."
Seeing that the car was about to collide, Yi Qi Mancao felt the force from his waist, and then his body flew up.
Stepping on the ground, Yi Qi Mancao came back to his senses, but his heart was beating non-stop, his nose was full of fragrance, Yi Qi Mancao opened his eyes, but it was a black fabric, the material was very good, Yi Qi Mancao was even thinking about the price of this clothes. A respectful voice with a little fear broke her thinking: "Si Shao, I'm sorry, I'm clumsy, I didn't see you, I'm sorry."
Yi Qi Mancao looked up suspiciously, but saw a good-looking chin, the obvious Adam's apple between the white and slender neck moved, and a majestic voice came into Yi Qi Mancao's eardrums: "Get out." The voice is very soft, almost inaudible, and the tone is not fierce, but it is terrifying.
"Yes, yes." The voice was a little more respectful and a little more afraid, "Thank you Si Shao, thank Si Shao." ”
The car went away, and Yi Qi Mancao was pushed away. Yi Qi Mancao raised his head, looked at the handsome and dashing boy in front of him, and hurriedly said, "Thank you."
He glanced down at her, didn't speak, and turned to leave.
Yi Qi Mancao grabbed his sleeve and asked, "What's your name?"
He turned his head and looked at her with a frown, his brows full of coldness.
Seeing that he didn't say a word, Yi Qi Mancao felt that he was a little angry, and hurriedly loosened his sleeve and explained: "Daddy said that the grace of dripping water should be repaid with a spring, not to mention that you saved me, I want to repay you." You tell me your name, and I'll repay you another day. ”
He looked at her for a few seconds, a slight smile on the corner of his mouth. The smile, with disdain, with mockery, and with a bit of playfulness. This girl must not know who he is, but she said that she would repay him. Who is he who needs a little girl to repay?
Yi Qi Mancao thought he would say something, but he turned away. Yi Qi Mancao didn't give up, and shouted behind him: "Then come to me if you have anything in the future." You remember, my name is Yiqi Mancao, and I am 4,000 gold from Yiqi Mansion. Seeing him walking farther and farther, he raised his voice, "My house is easy to find, if you don't know, you can ask others, if you can't ask......" Before the words were finished, the person was far away, Yi Qi Mancao looked at his back, lowered his head, and said lightly, "Then there is no way......" After finishing speaking, he raised his head, but the figure was gone, and he couldn't help but stomp his feet and said, "Hmph, dare to ignore Miss Ben!"
There was such a fork in the middle, and for a while, I forgot about Yi Qi Wanxi, and I didn't go to the candy store, so I turned around and walked towards Yi Qi Mansion. Along the way, I never forgot the person who was just indifferent. As I read it, I felt a certain emotion in my heart.
When he got home, Yi Qi Mancao went to his mother and said, "Mother, I was rescued by someone just now."
Unexpectedly, when my mother heard this, she was very anxious: "What trouble did you cause?"
"My daughter didn't cause trouble." Yi Qi Mancao said, taking a sip of tea, "It's just that I was almost hit by a car just now and was rescued." ”
Wang Shi breathed a sigh of relief and asked again, "Who saved you?"
"I don't know." Yi Qi Mancao replied truthfully.
Wang frowned: "I don't know? You didn't ask? The Yiqi family never owes favors to everyone, they saved you, but you don't even know who the others are. ”
"I asked." Yi Qi Mancao only felt wronged, his mother and father, like their father, only cared about Yi Qi's family, and didn't care about themselves at all.
"Then how could you not know?"
"He didn't tell me how I knew." Yi Qi Mancao said, then got up and turned to leave.
As soon as he arrived at the door, Yi Qi Mancao suddenly turned around and said to the Wang family with a smile: "By the way, mother, I heard someone call him Si Shao, do you know?"
"Si Shao?" Wang's face showed shock. Young Master of the Si family, how could she not know, not only know, but also know a little. But what you know is what you know, and what you know is what you know. Wang smiled lightly, "I don't know." ”
Wang said that he didn't know, and Yi Qi Mancao felt bored, so he went out.
Aunt Ji mentioned Sinan, and Yi Qi Mancao remembered those past events, and before she knew it, she arrived at the gate. Although I don't know why, the person has arrived at the door, so he doesn't want to go back, and a thought suddenly appears in his mind: "Go find Sinan."
When I opened the door, I saw a man dressed in black standing at the door. The man stood up straight, apparently about to knock on the door. Yi Qi Mancao was taken aback, and when he saw that person clearly, there was a trace of emotion in his heart for a moment, it was Sinan.
"You know I'm coming?" He was very calm, and there was no joy in his cold eyebrows.
Yi Qi Mancao looked at him for a moment, frowned, and said, "Who knew that you were coming, Miss Ben just happened to be going out!"
"Oh." Sinan looked at her for a few seconds, and then said, "I have a soul." The tone was still flat, and it was originally a very romantic word, but it felt so cold when it came out of his mouth.
Yi Qi Mancao saw a row of cars and a group of people in military uniforms behind him, but he didn't ask anything, just glanced at him, and walked past him with a light snort. Yi Qi Mancao thought that Sinan would follow, Sinan looked at the back of Yi Qi Mancao, and wanted to stop her, but thought that maybe Yi Qi Mancao went out because of something urgent and didn't call her. It wasn't until he couldn't see Yi Qi's figure that Sinan entered the door.
Aunt Ji was cleaning the yard, and when she saw a tall and heroic man approaching, she hurriedly put down the broom and greeted her, and said with a smile: "Si Shao, you are here." After thinking about it, his tone was a little regretful, "Hey! It's a coincidence that you're here, Miss Four, she's just gone out. As he spoke, he pointed to the door and said, "Just out, you might be able to catch up with her now." ”
Sinan looked down at Aunt Ji, her expression was the usual seriousness of a soldier, and her tone did not carry any emotion: "I'm looking for Master Yiqi."
When Aunt Ji heard this, she was stunned and said, "The master is in the house, please."
Sinan raised his hand, revealing strength between his movements: "Please lead the way."
Aunt Ji brought Sinan to the hall, and Yi Qi Mingzhi was sitting on a chair smoking a big cigarette.
When Sinan saw Yi Qi Mingzhi, he stood up straight and saluted, "Master Yi Qi."
Yi Qi Mingzhi looked at him when he heard the voice, took the cigarette stick away, got up, and said with a smile: "Sinan, please take a seat."
Sinan lowered his hand to the middle of his thighs and sat down on the chair next to Yi Qi Mingzhi. Sitting upright, giving people an inexplicable sense of oppression.
"I don't know what the Major General is doing today?" Yi Qi Mingzhi took a puff of his cigarette and asked.
"My father gave me the task." Sinan said, shouting to the outside, "Bring things in." ”
When the sound fell, the group carried a few boxes into the house, put the boxes on the floor one by one, and then gave a military salute to Sinan and stood aside.
Sinan looked at Yi Qi Mingzhi and said, "This is a bride price, my father and brother have military affairs, and my father asked me to say hello to you on his behalf."
"Bride price." Yi Qi Mingzhi thought about it, nodded lightly, and raised his eyes to look at Sinan, "Major General is here to propose his relatives?" ”
"Yes." A concise answer with a firm tone.
"Is this what the Admiral meant?" Yi Qi Mingzhi asked.
"That's what my father meant." Sinan replied truthfully, "Father hopes that the Yiqi family can marry the Si family, which is good for both parties." ”
"But......" Yi Qi Mingzhi thought for a moment and said, "But the third daughter Wan Xi was engaged to Qi Tianyu, the eldest young master of the Qi family, early on......" Turning his mind, Yi Qi Mingzhi raised his eyes suddenly, is the Si family going to marry the vine grass? I thought so, but I didn't ask. After all, Yi Qi Mancao is the little daughter that Yi Qi Mingzhi holds in the palm of his hand, he knows that Mancao has a sweetheart, and he promised Mancao that she will marry someone she likes. If the Yi Qi family and the Si family marry, the Yi Qi family's position in Shanghai will be more stable, which will naturally be of great benefit to the Yi Qi family, but Yi Qi Mingzhi does not want to and cannot sacrifice his daughter's happiness for the interests of the family. Besides, Wanxi is engaged to the person she likes, so naturally she can't be wronged.
Seeing that Yi Qi was thinking about it, Si Nan probably guessed what he was thinking, but pretended not to see his thoughts, and said, "It's the fourth miss."
When Yi Qi Mingzhi heard this, the hand holding the cigarette stick trembled slightly, but he pretended to be relaxed and said: "If you can form a family with the Si family, you naturally can't ask for it." After a pause, he said, "It's just that the elder sister of the vine grass has not yet married, and as a younger sister, it is really difficult to marry before the elder sister." And now that Mancao is not at home, I will ask her about this when she comes back and then reply to the Admiral. ”
Sinan didn't say much, only said: "There is labor." Then he got up and gave a military salute and retired.
Yi Qi Mingzhi didn't stay, let the servant smoke a big cigarette after sending off the guests, looked at the bride price on the ground, and fell into deep thought.
At the same time, Qi House.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Yi Qi Wanxi opened her eyes and met Qi Tianyu's gaze.
"Awake?" Seeing her open her eyes, Qi Tianyu walked to the bed and asked.
Yi Qi replied in a hoarse voice, "Hmm."
"Hungry, what do you want to eat?"
"Whatever."
Hearing this, Qi Tianyu thought for a moment, nodded, and turned around and went out. Soon, a maidservant girl came into the house with water, and after saluting Yi Qiwanxi, she said, "Third Miss, the young master asked me to serve you to wash."
went downstairs, Yi Qi Wanxi sat at the dining table to eat, and Qi Tianyu sat opposite her and looked at her. Xu was a little embarrassed to be stared at, Yi Qi Wanxi looked up at Qi Tianyu, and asked with food in her mouth, "Why do you keep looking at me?"
Qi Tianyu stared at her for a long time before he slowly spoke: "I'm just thinking about when we'll get married."
"Ahem......" Yi Qi Wanxi was so frightened by his words that she choked on it, and it took a long time before she came back to her senses and said, "Why did you suddenly worry about this problem?" ”
"Si Shao went to your house to propose, if we don't get married earlier, won't we delay your sister?" Qi Tianyu said, picked up the napkin and raised his hand to wipe the stains from the corners of his mouth for Yi Qiwanxi, who was shocked.
Yi Qi was stunned for a long time, and suddenly smiled: "It is said that Si Shao's heart is like iron, and if he doesn't understand love, he won't pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, and he will marry the vine."
Qi Tianyu looked at her, wanted to say something but didn't say anything, just smiled indifferently.
