Chapter 170: Look! Mr. Xiao Song admitted
"Mr. Song." James raised his hand first to greet Song Xiru.
Song Xiru walked forward with a smile, took off his hat, put it on his abdomen, and bowed slightly towards him, "Mr. James, what a coincidence." β
Mu Yi watched the two greet each other, asked Qingge to add a chair, and then poured a cup of tea for Song Xiru with a pot.
Although Wei Qing said that James came to Lingcheng this time with a batch of weapons, which were sold to the Song family.
But generally speaking, Song Xichu is responsible for these things, but he is a little surprised that Song Xiru and James know each other.
However, he was silent and asked curiously, "You know each other?" β
"Oh!" James suddenly didn't hide it from Mu Yi, and explained, "This is Mr. Song." I came this time with a batch of things, and Mr. Song came to discuss business with me on behalf of Chief of Staff Song. Seen it once. β
Hearing this, Mu Yi nodded, turned his head and asked Song Xiru, "What about Song Xichu?" β
Song Xiru's face stiffened, slowed down for a second, and prevaricated, "The eldest brother has to take care of the eldest sister-in-law, and the mobility is inconvenient, so my father asked me to share more for the eldest brother." β
He explained like this, and it was also very reasonable, and Mu Yi didn't ask any more questions.
"Your complexion looks much better, it seems that Uncle Song should have asked you to do some work earlier, maybe you won't need those medicine jars from you!" Mu Yi quipped.
"You ...... Also recognized? After James finished speaking, he consciously said something funny, "Oh! Yes, you are all in the same place, and you must know each other. β
"En......" Mu Yi pondered for a moment and thought for a while, "The relationship is a bit complicated, I'll tell you as simple as possible." β
James was a little dazed, but nodded and listened.
"This is Song Xiru, have you seen another Mr. Song before?" Mu Yi asked, and after saying that, he was afraid that he would be confused, so he pointed at Song Xiru and added, "It's his brother." β
"Yes, the first time I saw it was Mr. Song."
"That Mr. Song is my former fiancΓ©. We ......"
As soon as Mu Yi's words came out, he saw James look shocked, opened his mouth, and still had a look of disbelief, "But his legs are ......"
After all, in James's eyes, Mu Yi can be regarded as a celebrity, and in British schools, there are many gentlemen who love her. He could never have imagined that her fiancΓ© was a person with a disability. Even if that person is still handsome and has a good bearing, it is a fly in the ointment after all. In his opinion, such a person is not worthy of Mu Yi.
Mu Yi smiled and raised his hand, signaling him not to be surprised, and continued to explain, "His mother is my aunt, and I was engaged to him when my grandfather was alive. However, after I went abroad, I haven't seen each other for a long time, and the relationship between the two has faded. After returning to China, the two of us, the two of us also made it clear, and the marriage contract was dissolved. He also looked for another lover, but there was an accident some time ago, so he injured his leg. β
Mu Yi said it as concisely as possible.
However, in James's ears, there was some misunderstanding about "Mother is an aunt", thinking that it was similar to their country's emphasis on pure blood, and that she had this blood relationship with Song Xichu and Song Xiru.
"Ahh That's a shame! James sighed regretfully for Song Xichu, then looked at Mu Yi with a look of appreciation, "Zhi, you are still as chic as ever, not bound by the world." Since I met you, what I admire you most is your determination to pursue freedom. β
"Everyone has the right to pursue their own happiness, and we can't delay the happiness of a lifetime because of anyone." Mu Yi smiled, he had no intention of talking about this topic again, and raised his hand to spread out in front of Song Xiru, "This is the second young master of the Song family, we have also grown up together, and we can be regarded as close friends." β
Just as the drama was being applauded, James turned his head and watched it in novelty for a while, and applauded with the people below.
After he was happy, he turned his head, and Mu Yi said, "Speaking of which, Song Xiru prefers to listen to operas, and I have been listening to operas with him since I was a child." If you're interested, you can also ask him. β
Seeing that the relationship between Mu Yi and Song Xiru was so good, James naturally did not refuse, and turned his head to look at Song Xiru, "Mr. Song, I'm bothering you." β
In order to facilitate memory and distinction, James called Song Xichu as Mr. Da Song, and Song Xiru as Mr. Xiao Song.
"Where. Gardenia's friend is my friend, as it should be. Song Xiru smiled and picked up the tea and raised his glass to James.
James didn't refuse, picked up the black tea and clinked glasses with him gently, glanced at Mu Yi, and took the initiative to say, "If Mr. Xiao Song and Mr. Da Song had said that they had such a relationship with Zhi, how could this transaction drag out such problems." Mr. Song can go back and tell Chief of Staff Song that he will call someone to pick it up another day, and it will be good to follow the price originally agreed. β
Hearing this, Song Xiru was overjoyed, he thought that the matter of this batch of weapons would have to be wasted, but he didn't expect that it would be solved with the kung fu of a play. "Thank you, Mr. James, then."
After a pause, he remembered that James had said earlier that he was just a cargo carrier and had no right to call the shots.
Although it may be a shirk, he still asked meaningfully, "But Mr. James, will you be bad when you go back?" β
"You're welcome." James took a sip of black tea, put down the teacup, and looked at Mu Yi, "If you want to thank you, just thank you, after all, a woman like an elf like her, no matter who she is, is willing to spend a lot of money for her." If my brother knew, I would definitely not say anything if I decided this time because of zhi. Maybe they'll give me a little more travel expenses. β
Song Xiru was stunned, and looked at Mu Yi with some doubts and blankness.
I saw Mu Yan holding his forehead with a little headache when he heard this, he turned his face away, and his tone was slightly raised, "James!" Can't this be over? β
"Haha!" Seeing Mu Yi's slightly annoyed appearance, James laughed twice.
Originally, many people frequently looked sideways at his existence, and they have been paying attention to the movements on their side.
His smile attracted everyone's attention.
It's so good to die, it just so happened that he said to Song Xiru after laughing, with a look of amazement and some pride, "Don't you know?" My brother was also one of Zhi's suitors, and at that time, my brother even planned to go to the royal family and wanted to marry Zhi as a countess. It's a pity that my brother, a gentleman who is loved by many ladies, was rejected by the lady for the first time, and he still refused to marry. Not to mention the whole country, just the whole London, I'm afraid I can't find a second person who dares to treat him like this! β
This tone is all teasing.
But he was already more cheerful, and his voice was not small, and he was still a little excited just now, so his voice was inevitably louder than usual.
The words fell, and there was silence all around.
This time, even the singers forgot the words, and the musicians next to them also forgot their movements.
Countess, although ordinary people don't understand what kind of title it is, but when they heard about the royal family just now, everyone immediately leaned on the royal relatives.
couldn't help but be stunned and amazed, and refused to be a relative of the emperor and join the royal family.
No wonder, the young lady of the Mu family doesn't look down on the eldest young master of the Song family, and she doesn't even care about the royal family.
Some were secretly speechless, some admired Mu Yi's courage, some felt sorry for Mu Yi, and some thought Mu Yi was stupid......
Anyway, everyone has their own ideas.
Mu Yi looked at the people with different expressions, especially the shining eyes of the storyteller who had been listening to the drama here for many years, and he had a headache, knowing that after today, she would become a conversation after tea and dinner.
"It's all in the past, can we not mention it." Mu Yi looked at James with a headache.
"Haha, zhi, if it is put in an ordinary lady, I am afraid that it will become a proud talking point in my life, how did I come to you, but I don't want people to know at all?" James asked with a smile.
"It's not a glorious thing, why make it known?"
James's face froze, and he immediately looked a little sad, "If you say that, my brother will be sad." β
Mu Yi also reacted, after returning to China for a long time, it was naturally the way of speaking in China, and he didn't think too much about it. I also understood the way I spoke just now, and I had too much for James, so I explained, "That's the case, in our country, women pay attention to the person they love from the beginning to the end. Although this is all in the past, such things will still be misunderstood when they fall into the ears of others. β
"I will remember the Count's sincerity and appreciate his favor. However, in our country, it is better for the daughter's family not to be involved with too many men, so that the reputation of the lady is good. β
After Mu Yan's explanation, James understood. hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I didn't think it through." β
Mu Yi smiled and waved his hand to signal that there was no need to do this.
"That's right!" James suddenly remembered something, and cared, "Is your leg okay?" Is it okay now? Are there any major problems? Do you want me to call a doctor from our country to come and see you? β
Saying that, James also tilted his body to look at Mu Yan's legs, looking nervous, "Your riding figure is so neat, there can't be any problems with this leg, otherwise many men will be heartbroken." β
James has always spoken like this, Mu Yi is used to it, but he is a little afraid that the green pigeon or the person next to him will have other meanings.
But after thinking about it, those words were said just now, and nothing else, there was nothing more, so I just gave up.
I could only look at James and smile helplessly, "It's okay, I just went to the hospital and recovered well." β
Looking at James's suspicious eyes, Mu Yi smiled and said again, "What the doctor said just now, the recovery is good, really." β
Only then did James put his mind at ease.
"When are you leaving?" Mu Yi asked.
Probably the West Point was not bad, James took another bite and thought for a moment, "Let's take another ten days." β
"After Mr. Xiao Song sends someone to make a deal, I'll wait for your things to arrive. In addition to your things, my brother also asked me to prepare a gift for you, and he was also on his way here. James took another sip of black tea, took a sip of black tea and a sip of western pastries, and then looked at the stage, very happy.
"Gifts?" Mu Yi frowned, "No need, you take the time to call your brother and say that you have received it, and the gift will be forgotten." β
"En......" James waved his hand, "No, I'm coming to Lingcheng this time, and the main thing is not business." β
Facing Mu Yan's eyes, James still continued, "Don't look at me like this, this is my main task." My brother said, on your birthday before, I originally wanted someone to send it to you, but during that time, no reliable person was around, and there happened to be such a business, so he sent me over, the main thing, in fact, it was to make up gifts for you. β
James also understood Mu Yan's character, and immediately raised his hand and gestured in the air, "First of all, you can't embarrass me." I'm just a courier. If you don't accept it, call my brother yourself. In a moment, I'll transcribe the phone number to you. I believe my brother will be very happy to receive your call! β
Mu Yi: "......"
James didn't say that it was okay, but when he said this, Mu Yi was even more sure, the gift was expensive.
If it's just a regular gift, mail it will do. It can't be mailed, and if you have to send someone to deliver it, and you have to send a reliable person to make a trip, the gift must be extraordinary.
Mu Yan raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, how could she call, but couldn't she call, so James refused?
"Xiao Gardenia......" Song Xiru read Mu Yi's name, the tail note flowed between his lips and teeth, paused, and then smiled, "Since I have been very popular with people." Unexpectedly, when I went abroad, I was still so outstanding. β
"Right? She has to thank my brother well, with my brother's experience, how many people have blocked for her, so that many admirers dare not move forward. Otherwise, her apartment would have to be broken down, or the hallway would be blocked by flowers every day. James laughed, looked at Song Xiru, and suddenly asked with interest, "What about Mr. Song?" β
This sudden question made Mu Yi and Song Xiru both a little confused.
The expressions of the two made James a little puzzled, but he still asked repeatedly, "Is Mr. Xiao Song also like my brother, one of Zhi's many pursuits?" Fascinated by her demeanor? β
Hearing this, Mu Yi immediately glared at James, "James, what are you talking nonsense!" β
Mu Yi held her forehead, she knew that James couldn't say anything good in his mouth, and a shocking word came out of three or two sentences.
However, Song Xiru's thin lips smiled, and the arc was slightly sunken, but he didn't deny it, "Xiao Yu's demeanor is unmatched, so naturally it's difficult to be fascinated if you don't want to." β
"Look! You see! James was like a child who got the candy he wanted, and smiled and begged Mu Yi to admit it, "Look, Mr. Xiao Song has admitted it!" β
Mu Yi glanced at Song Xiru, just meeting his gaze.
is still light-faced, smiling indifferently, the clouds are light and the wind is light, like the wind in early spring, not light or heavy, not dry or cold, and it is very comfortable to watch.
The two looked at each other and smiled, retracting their gaze.
Mu Yi only thought that Song Xiru was teasing James, and he didn't pay much attention to it, so he had to shake his head helplessly.
After sitting in the Baiju Building with James for a while, Mu Yi looked at the time and was about to go back.
It just so happened that they had cooperation, and Mu Yi asked Song Xiru to take James to Qingfeng Tower for dinner, and then accompany him to visit the night market.
It just so happens that Song Xiru's foreign language is also good, and the two should communicate, which is fine.
Then she explained to James that she was going home, and under the pretext that Yu Zimei was going to have a birthday every few days, she said that she would invite him to taste the mellow wine of our country at that time.
When he heard that it was the old man in the family, James was immediately overjoyed, and urged Mu Yi to hurry home to accompany the old man.
Mu Yi smiled and said thank you for your understanding, and said that he would have to take him to see how their Mu family's porcelain shop made porcelain, so that he could also experience it.
James happily responded.
Before leaving, Mu Yan also instructed James to call his brother, saying that he was very grateful for receiving it, but the gift was really not needed.
Return to Mu's house from the Hundred Opera Building.
It was almost time for dinner.
After taking it and returning home, I didn't expect that except for Yu Zimei, Mu Shaoqing and Mu Shaoli were both at home today.
"Huh...... Why did the eldest brother and the second brother come back so early today? Mu Yi sat on the chair, took the herbal tea from Aunt Gui Xin, and asked with a smile.
But today, the two did not answer her immediately, but looked at her with solemn faces.
"What's wrong?" Mu Yan put down the teacup and sensed that something was wrong.
"What are you doing today?" Mu Shaoqing asked.
"Go to the hospital." Mu Yan looked at Mu Shaoqing's expression, with a look of Mo Qiming, and turned his head to look at Yu Zimei, "Grandma knows, right." β
"What about after you go to the hospital?" Mu Shaoqing continued to ask.
"I went to the Hundred Opera House and listened to two plays."
There's nothing to hide anyway.
"I heard you were with a foreigner in the afternoon." Mu Shaoqing couldn't help it in the end, and his voice couldn't help but increase in the last few words, and after Mu Shaoli coughed, he gathered his expression again and resumed his calm tone, "Do you know who that person is and what he came to Lingcheng for?" β
"Yes."
Mu Yan's simple answer blocked Mu Shaoqing's reproach back, and he didn't say anything.
In the end, it was Yu Zimei who opened her mouth, "Nannan, grandma knows that you have the ability and can always make different friends, but I heard that foreigner came to Lingcheng to sell weapons." It is said that because of the weapon matter recently, I haven't settled down with your Uncle Song, so you don't want to get too close to him, so as not to attract gossip. β
"And ah, the etiquette of foreigners is different from ours. Although it is said that it is to respect different cultures, but what about ......," Yu Zimei said earnestly, "We are now, and not everyone in the country can understand it." Do you understand? β
"I know, Grandma." Mu Yi understood that the matter in Baixilou today is estimated to have spread.
"But grandma, it's not a question of whether I make friends or not. He's a friend I've known since I was studying in the UK, and I can't say I can't see him. Moreover, I only found out about his visit two days ago, and it was he who called me last time. When I answered the phone, I knew that he had come to Lingcheng, and I didn't know what he was here to do at first. β
Hearing Mu Yi say this, the three of them softened their faces a little.
"Moreover, don't worry, when I was listening to James in the Baixilou today, it happened that Song Xiru was also there. Regarding the batch of weapons brought by James, he had already promised to give them to the Song family just now. So, there is no problem now, and I am not afraid that the Song family will think too much. Saying that, Mu Yi also snorted twice, "I have to thank me, if it weren't for me, I wouldn't have given the initial price to the Song family." β
"Just stick it in your face!" Mu Shaoli glanced at her, sat up straight, and asked, "Then what is the countess, what's the matter?" β
Mu Yi: "......"
Well, she knew it didn't run.
At the mention of this question, Yu Zimei also sat up straight and looked at her.
After all, if this is true, it is not a trivial matter.
Mu Yi pondered silently for a while before he said, "Na! First of all, I said, you are not allowed to talk about me! β
"You speak first." Mu Shaoli didn't give in, after all, his brother for so many years was not in vain, and he knew that every time Mu Yi said this, it meant what she wanted to say, and it had a lot of content. When she said this, she was first making a talisman for herself.
"Then I won't talk about it." Mu Yan is not stupid, he doesn't have a talisman, why rush to death by himself.
"You say, grandma doesn't talk about you." Seeing Mu Yi looking at Mu Shaoqing and Mu Shaoli, he added, "Grandma is here, and they don't dare to talk about you." β
"The thing, in a nutshell, is that when I was studying abroad, I went to class, and then I met James, and then I met his brother. His brother was an earl. Perhaps, it was because of the aesthetic fatigue of the aristocratic ladies in London, but they took a fancy to me, a wild girl, and said that they would marry me as his countess. Then I turned it down. After speaking, Mu Yan looked at the three of them with a smile, "That's it." And now it just happened to have a deal with Uncle Song and they came to Lingcheng. Then I did my best to be a landlord. β
After listening, Yu Zimei, Mu Shaoqing and Mu Shaoli were all stunned.
After a long while, Yu Zimei seemed to find her voice back, "What...... How...... Haven't heard you mention it? β
"What's there to mention about that. Although the count is very good, I don't like him, and I can't be with him. There is nothing possible and outcome, just end it directly, and there is nothing to say! β
Mu Yi didn't care much. "Besides, I'm not with him, and I'm not with him. If I like him and want to be with him, I should report to you, right? β
The three of them thought about it according to Mu Yan's logic, and there seemed to be no problem, as if Mu Yan was quite right.
However, her free and easy energy made the three of them a little surprised, after all, it was not a rich son, but an earl. Just gave her a simple refusal?
After a long while, I saw Mu Shaoli slapping his palms twice with a smile, and said with a smile, "It's not my little sister!" Terrible! β
"Go!" Yu Zimei glared at Mu Shaoli, "What is so powerful, such a big thing, I decided it myself." You won't be allowed in the future, you know? β
Yu Zimei was actually a little afraid, after all, the one who refused was an earl, but fortunately the other party was a real gentleman, and there was no resentment about it, otherwise he would have used a little trick, and I was afraid that Mu Yan would not be able to come back easily.
She thought about it, Mu Shaoli didn't expect it, and was relieved, "Grandma, don't worry, even if the earl is a small-minded person, the little sister has a way to come back safely." β
After all, his little sister is not an ordinary woman.
"That's it!" When Mu Yi heard Mu Shaoli say this, he also smiled and raised his chin, "Second brother still understands me!" β
"That's it. It's all gone. As long as you're doing well now. Yu Zimei took a sip of tea, suppressed her worries about coming late, and then looked up at Gui Xin, "Okay, let's eat." β
Saying that, the four of them stood up, Mu Yi stepped forward to help Yu Zimei, and while walking to the dining room, he asked Yu Zimei, "By the way, is the uncle coming back soon?" β
Hearing this, Yu Zimei was stunned.
Mu Shaoli's face sank for half a minute, and he said coldly, "What do you care about him?" He loves not to come back! It's better not to come back! β
"Shao Li!" Yu Zimei scolded, didn't say anything else, only said, "Why is he also your uncle!" β
"He is your eldest son, and by blood, he is my uncle. But whether I admit it or not, I'll say something else! After speaking, Mu Shaoli didn't forget to leave the dining room, turned around and returned to the hall, took off his coat and walked out, "I'll go out to eat." β
Mu Yi rarely saw her second brother with such an attitude towards her grandmother, and she was also very puzzled, it was clear that the relationship between the second brother and the uncle was good before, what happened in the past two years?
"Grandma, second brother, he ......" There must be something, not on purpose.
Before the words of explanation could be spoken, Yu Zimei waved her hand, "Let him go." β
Mu Yi stood in place, watching in surprise as Yu Zimei walked towards the dining room with her body bent.
She vaguely felt that in the two years she was away, something should have happened, and it was still related to this uncle.
Otherwise, the second brother would not have so openly contradicted his grandmother and walked away.
In the past, the second brother was a typical person who couldn't fight back and scolded and didn't fight back, but now he suddenly ......
Mu Yi frowned and fell into deep thought.
β¦β¦
West.
Weiqing was standing among the flowers, carrying a bucket of water in one hand and a water ladle in the other, scooping a scoop of water and pouring it on the flower ridge.
"Second master......" Baifu's face was solemn, and he hesitated for a moment.
Wei Qing didn't say anything, scooped another scoop of water, and poured it on the flowers.
When the flowers were almost watered, he threw the ladle into the bucket, took out a handkerchief, and wiped the water stains on his hands.
"James, are you sure to give it to the Song family?"
"It's confirmed, the contract has been signed, and it is said that the delivery time has been discussed."
"Or the original price?" Wei Qing walked over to a chair in the courtyard and sat down.
"Yes......" Momofuku nodded, hesitated, and explained, "It seems that because James has a shallow relationship with Miss Mu, he knows the relationship between Miss Mu and the Song family, and immediately took the initiative to accept this deal." β
Wei Qing had a headache, raised his index finger and rubbed his eyebrows, "How did you reply to Shi Junliang?" β
"Let's just say that this batch of weapons will be given to the Song family. I don't give any price that is multiplied. The attitude is very resolute and clear. β
Baifu looked at Wei Qing and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, what a bad fate! "We ...... How is it good? β
The man closed his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking, and after a long time, he lifted his thin lips, "That's it!" β
