Chapter 53: Let go of the mustard

With a blue face, Hotaru held the teacup, her fingertips slightly white.

The first to see that Yingyue's face was not quite right, Jiang Jiayu hurriedly made up for it: "I told Chi Gongzi that you are not the kind of person he thinks, and the rumors are not credible, but he still insists on his opinion." ”

Cautiously looking at Yingyue's gaze, Jiang Jiayu tried to make her dissipate, but who would have thought that there would be an extra pig teammate next to her.

"If you want me to say, Brother Jiang, you were mistaken by beauty, so I don't believe that any woman in this world can see me and sit still, so I bet with him on a thousand taels of silver, thinking that I, a veteran of the love field who has lived in a thousand flowers and does not touch a leaf, will try to see if I can deceive you." Chi Shuguang completed the last point, didn't notice her face at all, and said proudly: "But today may just be Mrs. Yue's lust." ”

Hotaru looked at them, a thick layer of frost formed under her eyes, and she was very unhappy in her heart, and scolded angrily: "Are you all right? Bet on me? ”

"And you, Chi Shuguang, the last time I went to the garden party, it was handled by the Guogong Mansion, and I, as a guest, let me and the people of the Taishi Mansion have conflicted, regardless of my predicament, is it a gentleman's behavior?"

Chi Shuguang, who was reprimanded, was stunned and looked at her blankly.

"What garden party? I didn't even go to ......."

He finally spoke, but was interrupted by Yingyue: "Since you can't get along with my Xie Jingyuan, why don't you take advantage of his absence to tease me at our Hou Mansion?" In the future, the Hou Mansion will not welcome the people of the Guogong Mansion, and Chi Gongzi will please go back. ”

After the output was finished, she felt much more comfortable, she stood up, looked at the butler, and motioned for him to send off the guest.

At this moment, Chi Shuguang seemed to be frozen, looking at her blankly.

Frowning, Hotaru was annoyed by his gaze and glared back in displeasure.

"See Mrs. Ben's hand? This hand slapped Ning Shuyao, and if you don't leave, you should be beaten, and I guarantee that Young Master Chi will bear the slap mark for three days. She threatened.

When she came back to her senses, Chi Shuguang's eyes had changed when she looked at her.

It is no longer contempt and disdain, but a trace of temptation.

It was the first time he had seen such a sassy woman, and it was completely different from the gentle beauties in the boudoir.

After waiting for a while, he was still allowed to stay, and Hotaru Yue threatened again unhappily: "Don't leave yet?" Do you really want to be beaten by me? ”

"That's not good, I'll leave now, if this son's handsome face is beaten, how can he still have the cheekiness to see people."

Chi Shuguang smirked at her, afraid of making her angry again, so he hurriedly left.

Hotaru looked at the figure he was leaving, and couldn't help but say, "It's shameless!" ”

She didn't know that at this moment, something was slowly fermenting and changing!

Running out of the Hou Mansion, Chi Shuguang came to the small tea stall on the side and said, "Quick, serve tea to this son!" ”

He hurriedly took a big sip of tea, but his eyes involuntarily drifted to the mansion diagonally opposite, and the flame in his heart couldn't go down.

In his mind, he couldn't help but think of Hotaru Yue's little face that looked even more smart and charming when he was angry, and his heart was pounding, this was the first time he had such a feeling!

On the other side, in the Hou Mansion, after Ying Yue and Chi Shuguang left, they looked at Jiang Jiayu with a cold expression.

"Xie Jingyuan is not here, what are you coming to the Hou Mansion for?" said coldly to him, her tone was much more polite, after all, there was a name for a life-saving benefactor.

Jiang Jiayu respectfully saluted her and thanked her: "I didn't come to find Xie Jingyuan, but to find Mrs. Yue's you, about the painting competition, thanks to Mrs. Yue's insights, Jiang Mou won narrowly and lived up to his mission." After all, the painting skills of the Fuso envoy are very clever, and everyone knows that he can get a tie at most. ”

Hotaru Yue opened her mouth indifferently, picked up the teacup and blew the foam on her head: "I just think of something to say, but I just speak sincerely." ”

"Mrs. Yue is modest, your opinion on the painting, even Jiang can't compare." Jiang Jiayu praised without hesitation.

"Jiang Gongzi is serious."

After speaking, she looked at Jiang Jiayu with a little disappointment: "However, I originally thought that Jiang Gongzi was a gentleman who treats people sincerely, but I didn't expect that you would make such a boring bet." ”

Jiang Jiayu smiled and didn't speak.

I just took a sip of tea, got up after a while, and said: "Although I am a master of the Academy of Painting and Calligraphy, whether it is in the Guogong Mansion, the Taishi Mansion, or the Hou Mansion, the tea that I take to entertain guests at will is a precious item that I can't afford with a year's salary." ”

"So that's why you're betting on me?" Frowning slightly, Hotatsuki's tone became a little colder.

Unexpectedly, she thought that the gentleman who was indifferent to fame and fortune was actually a layman, and he was really blind to his immortal spirit.

Shaking his head, Jiang Jiayu handed the silver ticket that had just been put away in his sleeve robe in front of Firefly Yue and said: "Of course not, the reason why I agreed to the bet contract is not to take Mrs. Yue as a joke or bet at will, but because I believe in Mrs. Yue's personality, and the son of the Guogong Mansion is famous for admitting death, blindly obsessed, very tricky, but his status is far from being something that I can offend as a painter." ”

With his head down, he couldn't hide his inferiority, and his thin lips tightened into a line.

"Please also ask Mrs. Yue to forgive me and accept this thousand taels."

Holding the silver ticket in both hands, he leaned in front of Hotaru Yue, his eyes full of sincerity.

After hearing this, the resentment in Hotaru dissipated a lot, and she also knew that he had a hard time, and everything was not done by him on purpose.

Although he is a famous painter, it is not easy to survive in a turbid world full of powerful people.

"Okay, I forgive you. It's just that this silver ticket is forgotten, you should keep it. After all, Hotaru relented, and gently pushed his hand back through the handkerchief.

Jiang Jiayu refused, still holding his hands.

Hotaru Moon pondered for a moment and said: "Actually, it should be me who apologized to you, but I didn't think about these things from your standpoint, and I misunderstood you, you asked me to collect these silver taels, how could I accept them with peace of mind?" ”

"But ......," Jiang Jiayu hesitated.

"As for me, I don't like to accept money from others, I prefer to earn it myself."

Speaking of these, Hotatsuki's eyes were full of determination and conviction.

No one knows better than her the joy of earning everything with her own hands!

Seeing this, Jiang Jiayu finally gave up, looked at her and couldn't help but say, "Mrs. Yue is really the most special woman I have ever seen." ”

It was completely different from the women he had seen before who were trapped in a small courtyard and struggled with other women all their lives until they grew old.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and put down the mustard.

"I'm going to go to the wind chime stream, let's walk a little bit together."
