005. Kneeling in the ancestral hall
I couldn't move, and looked at him coldly.
Just when the two of us were at a stalemate, another person suddenly walked in outside the door, and when he saw the scene inside, he hurriedly said to Yuan Lin: "Second master, the master said that you and Miss Lu should go over together." ”
Yuan Lin raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Mu Jing is late?" ”
The man said, "Here, come and pick it up yourself." ”
When Yuan Lin heard this, he let go of my hand, looked at me with a smile and said, "At the beginning, my father led the troops to surround the Mu Mansion for three days and three nights, and he was not invited out, but today he came so quickly. ”
I didn't expect Mu Jingchi to really come forward to pick me up this time, he hasn't come down the mountain for a long time, I have the impression that since I was sensible, he has been recuperating on the mountain, even if it is a big thing, he just let the people around him do it, and he has never come forward in person.
Yuan Lin and I were a little unpleasant just now, so the two of us didn't talk again, and when we arrived at a well-guarded restaurant, the person who came out to pick us up turned out to be Wang Shuyi, but she didn't greet me, but smiled at Yuan Lin and called: "Second master." ”
Yuan Lin had never seen Wang Shuyi, so he was naturally puzzled by her greetings and asked, "Who are you?" ”
Wang Shuyi continued to answer with a smile: "I am Mr. Mu's assistant. ”
Yuan Lin looked at her a few more times, and then Wang Shuyi led us upstairs, and when we arrived upstairs, Yuan Lin was the first to go to the box, leaving me and Wang Shuyi, I glanced at her, and said with a smile: "Sister Shuyi, isn't she going to greet me?" ”
She finally glanced at me, saluted me, and called, "Miss." ”
For such a big gift from her, I just smiled faintly and said: "I remember that many years ago, you were still a maid by my sister's side, but I didn't expect that now you have become the most trusted person around him, so there is no need for such a big gift." ”
She ignored my words, but whispered, "Sir has been waiting for you in there for a long time. ”
I smiled, didn't say anything more, and walked straight away.
When I arrived in the room, Mu Jingchi was talking to someone about things, I sat down next to him lightly, his speech stopped slightly, and then he glanced at me sideways, his gaze stayed on my face for a few seconds, and his tone was slightly reproachful and said four words: "Gray face." I stuck my tongue out at him, and then he put a piece of Western pastry on my plate and said, "Eat." ”
I was indeed a little hungry, I hadn't eaten much for a day, and just as I was about to pick up chopsticks, a middle-aged man sitting opposite Mu Jingchi suddenly asked, "Is this Miss Lu?"
Mu Jingchi looked at him and smiled slightly: "Just a few days after I came back from Liuyang, I have been extremely naughty since I was a child, and I don't obey discipline. ”
After he finished speaking, he lowered his eyes and chuckled at me and said, "This is the Ninth Master." ”
I paused with my chopsticks, and immediately called out to the middle-aged man: "Hello Ninth Master." ”
The middle-aged man laughed out loud after hearing this, and said with the boldness of a soldier: "It is said that Miss Lu looks like a symbol, and when I saw it today, she was really extraordinary, and she was a model for everyone." ”
Mu Jingchi smiled modestly: "Everyone's lady is really not a showman, but a troublemaker." Although he said this, the next second his fingers were full of pity and rubbed on my face, with a hint of imperceptible pampering.
Seeing this, Yuan Jiuye quipped: "Even if it is a troublemaker, it must be a troublemaker that you love, right?" ”
After Yuan Jiuye finished speaking, he suddenly changed his words, and asked as if he had inadvertently mentioned it: "Is there a good match?" ”
Mu Jingchi just wanted to put the handkerchief in his hand, but stopped.
Yuan Jiuye, who was sitting opposite, continued: "Yuan Lin is twenty this year, and Miss Changlu is two years old. Immediately, he brushed the tea foam from the teacup in his hand.
The dialogue between smart people never breaks the words, and even I can hear what this means, Yuan Lin also glanced sideways at his father at this time, but he was very quiet and poured wine on the side.
The room suddenly became so quiet that you could hear the sound of needles falling to the ground.
Yuan Jiuye put down the teacup in his hand and said: "Jingchi, you should know what I mean, we are also old acquaintances, why don't we kiss and kiss and make up this good marriage." And if Qingye enters my Yuan family, we will definitely not be able to treat her badly. ”
Mu Jingchi didn't seem to understand, and said with a smile: "You know, her sister left one of her by my side, and she has always been stubborn, so she really doesn't dare to climb the Yuan family......"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Yuan Jiuye: "Jing Chi, if the current situation is for our two families to get married, it is just that both parties are like tigers. ”
Mu Jingchi covered his lips and coughed twice, his voice was slightly weak: "I am not determined to be in the world, my body may not be able to withstand the world, what I can do is to guard the Mu family's century-old foundation, and I can just get by." ”
Then he coughed more and more violently, Wang Shuyi just wanted to come up and ask him if it was important, he waved his hand to signal her to retreat, and then said to Yuan Jiuye again: "I owe her sister too much, and the only wish in this life is just to let her live freely, marry into an ordinary family, teach her husband and children, and ask Jiuye for forgiveness." ”
Mu Jingchi's face was already paler than ordinary people, and after coughing continuously, his lips turned pale little by little.
Seeing this, Yuan Jiuye finally sighed and said, "Jing Chi, you are still dragged down by this body after all. ”
Mu Jingchi stopped talking, and the corners of his mouth were full of wry smiles.
After that, their topics were not on this topic, everything passed by like a dragonfly, and my tense body gradually relaxed.
After almost an hour passed, Yuan Jiuye saw that Mu Jingchi's body had been a little uncomfortable, and he didn't dare to stay any longer, and after saying goodbye to each other, Mu Jingchi took me and left from here.
The entire Jinling City was surrounded by the Yuan family's army, our car drove out of the city late at night, just arrived home, Mu Jingchi was helped out of the car by Steward Zhou, and only said three words to me: "Kneel in the ancestral hall." ”
