Unexpectedly, Mo Junyang did not refuse Zeng Zhi's invitation. After frowning, he nodded to Zeng Zhi and said gently: "Thank you, Mr. Zeng."
Zeng Zhi was still dizzy when he left, as if he had been hit by a pie falling from the sky and had not yet recovered.
Qu Yuebai couldn't hold it back and couldn't help but joke in a low voice: "If the prince knew that you were so polite and virtuous for his great cause, he would definitely wake up laughing when he fell asleep."
She said so, but Qu Yuebai didn't believe that Mo Junyang really came all the way to Yecheng to win over a small county magistrate for Mo Junyu's career.
It is estimated that even the prime ministers on the left and right cannot invite this great god!
As for Mo Junyang's willingness to come, don't guess the reason.
Mo Junyang glanced at Qu Yuebai and said lightly: "Are you very free?"
Qu Yuebai quickly shut up and made a sealing gesture, indicating that he would never say another word.
Qu Yuebai has been very quiet since then. He did not attend the Zeng family banquet with Mo Junyang. He is not surprised that there is no position for him as an aide in such a place.
While everyone was having dinner, Qu Yuebai and Wei Zichao quickly made an assessment of the entire Zeng family, taking into account any dangers and uncertainties.
In a small county like Yecheng County, Mo Junyang's status was enough to amaze many people. The entire Zeng family came out to support Mo Junyang as their ancestor.
In comparison, Shi Qingxue's treatment was much worse. However, Shi Qingxue didn't care at all, and watched with interest as the Zeng family fawned over Mo Junyang, thinking that this time they would really stifle people!
With Mo Junyang's temperament, he would never make excuses with others, and he could kill people directly if he got impatient. But now he had to pretend to be calm and calm, listening to the Zeng family's aunt Luo Shi praising his daughter. .
Coupled with the shy and timid appearance of the Zeng family's daughter, the matchmaking intention should not be too obvious.
Shi Baojing became more and more restless, and when she saw Mo Junyang frowning again, she finally couldn't help but said: "This is Mo Shizi's first time coming to Yecheng, why don't you let Baojing take you around. "
Mo Jun raised his eyebrows slightly, but before he could speak, Shi Baojing's cousin Zeng Yi quickly said: "Sister Jing is not as familiar with Yecheng as I am, so let me accompany the prince for a walk!"
Mo Junyang didn't even look at Zeng Yi and said directly: "No need, I'm tired, so I'll go back to the house to rest."
Zeng Zhi grabbed Zeng Yi, who was still about to speak, and said quickly: "In this case, we will not disturb the prince's rest. If there is anything needed, please give me your instructions."
Mo Junyang nodded and looked at Shi Qingxue again before leaving.
As soon as he left, Zeng Yi was unhappy. She pouted and complained: "Dad, it's rare for Prince Mo to come here once. Why did you just let him go? I haven't even talked to him yet! What does he want from this?" Only then can you fall in love with me!"
"Ahem!" Shi Qingxue coughed twice before reluctantly swallowing back the laughter that overflowed his lips.
Zeng Yi glanced at Shi Qingxue strangely and asked doubtfully: "Qingxue, are you sick? Why are you coughing?"
Shi Qingxue waved her hands and said in a lowered voice: "It's okay, I just choked on the water. Keep talking and ignore me."
"Oh!" Zeng Yixin thought it was true. Her attention was not on Shi Qingxue at all, and she immediately complained: "Dad, I don't care, you must arrange for the prince to go shopping alone with his daughter tomorrow, so that he can understand how good his daughter is. "
After saying that, Zeng Yi nodded gracefully, as if as long as Mo Junyang was alone with her, Mo Junyang would definitely fall under her pomegranate skirt.
Zeng Zhi had a serious face and scolded him harshly: "Nonsense, you can imagine who Prince Mo is! You'd better give up this unrealistic idea as soon as possible, and wait until next year when dad can find you a well-matched match, no?" I’ll treat you badly.”
When Luo Shi heard this, he immediately became unhappy, "Old Zeng, what do you mean by this? What is wrong with our daughter? Why is she not worthy of Prince Mo? Let me tell you, our daughter is talented and beautiful. She has to live in the hall and in the kitchen, and she is already wronged by being the Crown Princess of King Rui! If it hadn’t been for a poor father like you, she would have entered the palace and become a noblewoman!"
Well, now Qingxue finally knew who Zeng Yi learned her big face from.
Qingxue turned around and saw Shi Baojing looking extremely embarrassed. She swallowed her laughter silently and pretended to be sleepy and yawned, "Uncle, aunt, Qingxue is a little sleepy, so she went down to rest first. "
Zeng Zhi didn't want his scandal to be watched by others, so he quickly responded, "You have a good rest and tell me if you need anything."
As soon as Shi Qingxue left the living room, Zeng Zhi once again had a straight face and scolded him angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? It's so bad for juniors to hear it."
Luo Shi was not afraid of him. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Huh! Who do you blame if you don't live up to expectations? I married you because I was blind. I originally thought that one of your sisters who married into the Duke of Shi's palace would become a successful person. Only after I got married did I find out that your sister was married to someone else as a concubine. She was married to the second eldest son of the Shi family. She didn’t even have a title, and she was a short-lived ghost... "
"Luo Jiaoniang!" Zeng Zhi roared angrily and subconsciously turned to look at Shi Baojing.
Shi Baojing kept his head lowered, as if he didn't hear the argument among the elders.
Even so, Zeng Zhi felt embarrassed and said irritably: "If you keep talking nonsense, don't blame me for taking you home."
Luo Jiaoniang put her hands on her hips and said with a arrogant attitude: "Quit it! I didn't commit seven crimes, so why should you quit it? I tell you Zeng Zhi, don't forget that you can now sit firmly in the position of Yecheng County Magistrate. With the help of my Luo family, if you divorce me, you will be nothing!"
Zeng Zhi's eyes widened with anger and he glared at Luo Jiaoniang fiercely. He was about to slap her over her, but Zeng Yi panicked and stopped him: "Mom, dad, please stop arguing!"
Zeng Yi had a stern look on her face, showing an impatient look, and shouted: "Mom, don't you just think that your father can't be powerful among the sisters without becoming a high official? But now I am here! As long as I take down Prince Mo, Dad is still worried about not being able to get promoted and make a fortune, and our family is still worried about having no one to fawn over? You guys are arguing all day long, so why not find a way to help me capture the heart of the heir apparent."
The debate in the room was really calmed down by Zeng Yi's wild words. She turned to Shi Baojing and confessed: "Sister Jing, I think you have a good relationship with Mo Shizi. You can help me make an appointment with him tomorrow." By Yang Lake, if I 'accidentally' show up there to accompany the Crown Prince on a tour of the lake, the Crown Prince will definitely be impressed by me."
Shi Baojing didn't expect that he would be so angry that he hesitated for a long time before saying hesitantly: "I, I don't know Prince Mo well. He has a distinguished status. How can I date him if I want to?"
Zeng Yi raised her chin slightly and said arrogantly: "I don't care, anyway, I have given the task to you. I will see Prince Mo at Mingyang Lake tomorrow morning."
This order was shouted out loud and clear, even when Shi Qingxue had already walked out of the hall, she heard it.
Qingxue couldn't help but was speechless. She felt that her previous judgment of Zeng Yi's "big heart but no brain" was not accurate. Isn't she quite smart? At least she has some kind of "shortcut".
She sighed helplessly and had no intention of listening to the discussion among the people in the room. But as soon as she turned the corner, she saw Mo Junyang leaning leisurely against the beam. It was obvious that he had heard the conversation just now.
Shi Qingxue couldn't help but laugh and joke: "Prince Mo's charm is really not that great. He just came to Yecheng for less than a day and he already has another admirer!"
Mo Junyang's expression remained unchanged, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Envy?"
Shi Qingxue waved her hands repeatedly, she couldn't bear this kind of admiration.
Mo Junyang stared straight at Shi Qingxue and suddenly asked: "You said before that you are not suitable for me?"
Shi Qingxue thought about it for a while before confirming what the other party was asking, and then nodded blankly.
Mo Junyang laughed again: "If you are not suitable, then who is suitable?"
Shi Qingxue stared, her face written: How do I know who is suitable for you!
But Mo Junyang didn't let Shi Qingxue express his meaning and said directly: "Didn't you apologize to me and say you were sorry?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?" Shi Qingxue was a little embarrassed, but she would not deny what she said.
Mo Junyang then asked: "Are you sincere?"
Shi Qingxue glared again and agreed angrily, "Of course it's true. Why did I lie to you for nothing? What on earth do you want to do? I have lived for so long, and you are the first person I have ever apologized to seriously. Don't …”
She didn't like to dwell on the subject, it would embarrass her.
Mo Junyang suddenly said leisurely: "Is just 'I'm sorry' enough?"
"Ah?!" Shi Qingxue was stunned for a while before she realized that the other party was talking about her. If she really felt guilty, she couldn't make up for it with just "I'm sorry."
Shi Qingxue's face suddenly became hot, and it took a while to calm down. She still didn't dare to look into Mo Junyang's eyes, so she could only explain in a vague voice: "I have never thought about compensation before. I have too much time to take care of myself, so it’s ridiculous to talk about compensating you.”
Taking a deep breath, she continued: "But since you have spoken, then whatever you want me to do, as long as I can do it, I will do my best."
Speaking of this, Shi Qingxue felt a little pathetic. In her previous life, she was so naive and longed for true love, but in the end she didn't understand until long after her death that she had indeed gotten what she had longed for.
The most damning thing is that she still can't have that true love.
After Mo Junyang got the guarantee, he didn't show any happiness or disappointment on his face. He was as indifferent as ever.
After a moment, he said softly: "I need a Princess Rui."
"What?"
Shi Qingxue raised her eyes in surprise and looked at Mo Junyang for a while, not sure if she heard correctly.
Mo Junyang did not repeat it and said coldly: "You heard me clearly."
Shi Qingxue: "..."
She did hear it clearly, so she frowned and hesitated for a while before asking: "So you want to marry Zeng Yi?"
