Chapter Twenty-Five: Rejection
This is the first time Meng Xing has visited the Dingyong Marquis Mansion since she resigned to Suiyuan County, in fact, she is a little overbearing. It's just that she was imprisoned as soon as she arrived in Suiyuan County, and she was breathless in her heart, and she didn't want to bow to Ye Xun, so she knew that it was inappropriate, but she still didn't come to the Dingyong Marquis Mansion.
Meng Xingci was soon invited into the main hall, and as soon as the servants served tea, Ye Xun walked out.
Even though Meng Xingci had seen Ye Xun many times, when he walked out the door and walked in, Meng Xingci's gaze was still fixed.
Ye Xun was dressed in a black brocade robe, his black hair was tied up, his sword eyebrows were starry, and his aura was lofty. With a fierce aura on him, he walked in calmly, and his momentum suddenly overflowed the entire room.
The admiration in Meng Xingci's eyes could hardly be hidden.
She stood up: "I've seen the prince." ”
Ye Xun raised his hand and walked in calmly: "Lord Meng doesn't need to be polite, Lord Meng is a rare guest, but there is something important?" ”
Meng Xingci smiled at him, and the shallow dimple of his mouth loomed: "Last time I was in Fairy Mountain, thanks to the timely arrival of the prince." The heroism of the prince made me admire. Today, I came to thank the prince for his help that day, prepared some small gifts, and asked the prince to smile. ”
Meng Xingci is full of confidence, an iron-blooded soldier like Ye Xun will never accept gifts from others at will.
Ye Xun really opened the gift she gave, which was very in line with Meng Xingci's personality of loving food, and most of the food she brought was eaten. And there is also a bullwhip in it?
Ye Xun's face turned dark, what misunderstanding did Meng Xingci have about him?
He raised his eyebrows quietly: "Saving grace, is Lord Meng's gift a little lighter?" As far as I know, the ingredients that Master Meng brought with him were worth thousands of taels of silver. ”
Meng Xingci was stunned, and asked in disbelief, "Do you think this gift is light?" ”
Ye Xun chuckled, his face was handsome, and his bearing was extraordinary, Meng Xingci couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
She was originally good-looking, but for the first time, she was confused by other people's beauty.
Ye Xun didn't speak, Song Nian leaned over to look at the gift, and when he saw the bullwhip, he was so angry: "Lord Meng, what do you mean by bringing a bullwhip?!" Do we need it very much?! ”
Meng Xingci couldn't help but chuckle, and Ye Xun looked at Song Nian with caring eyes.
After the Song Dynasty, he realized it.
Ling Huan said quickly: "It's not that I heard that there is no one in the prince's room, and we adults want to think that the prince needs ......."
Ye Xun looked at Ling Huan with a calm gaze, and the little maid couldn't say any more, so she hid behind Meng Xingci.
Meng Xingci touched his nose, "It may be that the subordinates have made a mistake, it's all my fault, don't worry about it." ”
She was a little apprehensive, as if she had offended someone, how should she ask him for help?
Ye Xun said coldly: "Thank you Lord Meng for your concern, it's just that this son doesn't need it." After a pause, he looked at Meng Xingci: "Lord Meng is not very good at gift-giving, I hope Lord Meng's ability to handle official affairs is stronger than gift-giving." ”
Meng Xingci's face turned red, and he said solemnly: "I can't hide anything from the prince of the world, in fact, I came here this time for the military families of these people." ”
Meng Xingci said and handed the list to Ye Xun, who took it and put it on the table.
Ye Xun looked at her and said, "I know Lord Meng's intention, it's not me who poured cold water." It's just that the 300,000 troops returned to Yanhuiguan, and this more than 100 people is really nothing. As he spoke, his eyes were meaningful: "This is not an easy thing, Master Meng is really confident that he can do it?" ”
Meng Xingci smiled indifferently: "I have always felt that nothing in this world is easy. Be a cook and sweat in the kitchen; As a scholar, you can't slack off every day; As a farmer, his face is facing the loess and his back is facing the sky, and he has to rely on God to enjoy food. But if you don't do it because it's difficult, then you're doomed to achieve nothing. ”
She looked at Ye Xun, her eyes were calm but resolute: "I was ordered by the emperor to come to disarm, I may or may not succeed." Even if I live up to the emperor's grace, it is my limited ability, I admit it. But if I don't even try, just because it's not easy, I know how difficult it is, but it's not my character. ”
Meng Xingci smiled again: "If the prince helps, I will naturally be grateful in my heart." If the prince insists on blocking it, I have already made up my mind, and I have to find another way, and I always have to do it. ”
Song Nian's face changed, Meng Xingci was so bold, this was simply provoking Ye Xun. No one has ever dared to do that.
Ye Xun looked at the young man's warm and handsome face, his eyes flashed slightly.
After being silent for a while, Ye Xun suddenly chuckled: "I admire Lord Meng's ambition, but Lord Meng thinks that with these three words, he wants to release people in the army, isn't it too child's play?" After a pause, he stared at Meng Xingci with sharp eyes: "Master Meng's plan is indeed very thorough, but what I see now is just empty talk. I believe that seeing is believing, and now everything is just your empty talk, and with that alone, I can't be sure that you can guarantee their future. ”
Ye Xun's refusal was justified, and Meng Xingci asked seriously: "Then how far does the prince think it can be to reassure the prince?" ”
Ye Xun's index finger tapped the table, "At least this Zhurong Academy has to be scaled, after having a teacher, right?" After a pause, he added: "It's farming now, and even if you want to build Zhurong Temple, it will take a while. It's better to wait for the Zhurong Academy to be repaired, Master Meng found a teacher, and it is not too late for everything to settle. ”
It's true that if you don't see a rabbit and don't scatter an eagle, Ye Xun even guessed her plan, what can she do? I can only pinch my nose and admit it.
Meng Xingci asked: "As long as the Zhurong Courtyard is repaired, the prince will definitely support me?" ”
Ye Xun glanced at her meaningfully: "It depends on Master Meng's ability." ”
Meng Xingci couldn't help but mutter: "It's really slippery." ”
I refuse to say anything.
Meng Xingci sighed lightly.
Ye Xun saw her depressed face, so he said, "It's not too early, Master Meng will also stay and try the cooking skills of the chef of the Dingyong Marquis Mansion." After a pause, he glanced at Ling Huan: "Although it is not as good as the maid next to Lord Meng, it is also a bit of a taste, and Lord Meng should not dislike it." ”
If this is refused, it will be really disgusting.
Meng Xingci replied cheerfully: "Then disturb the prince." ”
If it didn't get done, it was not in vain to be able to have a meal.
Ye Xun also hooked the corners of his lips, and the two looked at each other and smiled, feeling a little sympathetic to each other.
Song Nian and Ling Huan looked at them and always felt that something was wrong with the development of this situation.
