Chapter 280 Stop bothering her

Yao Man entered the courtyard and couldn't help but look at Song Chunxue with curiosity.

"And this is...?"

“This is my senior brother, Master Zhang.” Song Chunxue looked at the Taoist priest who had stood up. “Senior brother, this is my friend, Yao Man, the owner of the tavern.”

"Nice to meet you." The Taoist priest nodded slightly and said, "Please sit down and have some tea."

Mei Yang entered the room without saying a word, only staring at Song Chunxue.

Song Chunxue was puzzled by the stares.

He couldn't help but move closer to Yao Man, "Why did you two come together?"

Helpless, Yao Man leaned close to her ear and whispered, "He insisted that I come; he didn't dare to come alone."

"I didn't believe him when he said you were with a Taoist priest, but I didn't expect it to be true."

Mei Yang sat at the stone table, his tall and robust figure making the four people sitting around the table seem a bit crowded.

Song Chunxue turned her head and met Mei Yang's staring gaze.

She felt a little uneasy. "Brother Mei, is there something you want to say today?"

"Yes, my mother has chosen a girl for me, and today she came to the Taoist priest to calculate an auspicious date for our wedding."

Song Chunxue said calmly, "Then you should ask the Taoist priest. He wants to know your birth dates and times."

Mei Yang took out a piece of paper from his pocket, on which were written the birth dates of the two people.

The Taoist priest picked it up and examined it carefully. "Your zodiac signs are very compatible for marriage this year. There are several auspicious dates available."

The Taoist priest counted on his fingers, "The closest one is May 26th, and the furthest one is August 28th, or October 6th."

Song Chunxue turned to chat with Yao Man, showing no interest in the matter.

She lowered her voice and said, "I thought you two were getting married. You scared me."

"Am I that stupid? The person she likes is you. Even if I wanted to, she wouldn't agree. How are we supposed to get along in the future? That would be torture." Yao Man said irritably, "I'd rather continue hanging out with my pale-faced scholar."

"..." Song Chunxue didn't know what to say.

"This guy came here on purpose to test you, but he's definitely out of his mind. You clearly don't care, so why is he being so presumptuous? You're not going to try to keep him, or say you want to marry him, are you?"

"Should I find you a young one? I recently met a private tutor who comes from a poor family and has a refined appearance..."

"Ahem," the Taoist priest coughed lightly, "Why don't you two go inside and talk? I can hear everything clearly."

Yao Man blushed immediately and pulled Song Chunxue to leave, saying, "Let's go inside and talk. You two go about your business."

"Wait!" Mei Yang suddenly stood up and stared straight at Song Chunxue.

"Don't you have anything to say to me?"

His restrained and patient expression made it seem as if Song Chunxue was a heartless woman.

Song Chunxue sighed helplessly, "You specifically went out of your way to calculate this in front of me, do you think I'm regretting it and want to marry you?"

"Since you've come here to calculate the auspicious dates, then you should live a good life with that girl. I wish you a long and happy life together and many children. That's all I have to say."

Mei Yang pursed her lips tightly.

The Taoist priest leisurely sipped his tea.

"You weren't indifferent to me just a few days ago, when I kissed you..."

"That's indecent behavior! Did I hit you?" Song Chunxue said angrily. "Get out of here! Don't think I won't hit you today."

Yao Man was also angry.

“Meiyang, you’ve seen through Sister Song’s feelings. Even if you tried your best to please her the other day, Sister Song has been a widow for many years. Even if she had a momentary thought, it’s because you are indeed a man.”

"But she doesn't want to spend her life with you. She's already this old, and she has several children. Does she think that something happened between them that she would have to repay you with her body?"

Yao Man said angrily, "Then all those girls you flirted with before, wouldn't they all have to marry into your family? Can you support them all?"

"Shut up!" Mei Yang stared straight at Song Chunxue. "But the only person I truly want to marry is you, Song Chunxue."

As she spoke, Mei Yang looked at the Taoist priest and said, "Please help me to match our birth charts."

"..." Song Chunxue was extremely angry. She turned around, went to the kitchen, grabbed a rolling pin, and pointed it at him menacingly. "Are you leaving or not?"

Yao Man was at a loss; she shouldn't have come to join in the fun today.

"Spring Snow, I really want to..."

"Bang!"

Song Chunxue's rolling pin struck his arm directly.

"Meiyang, do you still think you're a naive twenty-year-old? I've said I don't want to get married, and I mean it. I made it clear enough last time: even if I were to get married, I wouldn't choose you!"

Mei Yang stood still, his neck stiff as a rock, his eyes slightly red, staring intently at her.

"You two are incompatible according to Chinese zodiac. If all else fails, I can help you get along."

Seeing that they were arguing, the Taoist priest looked at Song Chunxue and asked, "Junior brother, tell me your birth date and time."

"I have no idea."

"Um?"

Song Chunxue said irritably, "My parents died early, and my older sisters were still young when I was born, so they don't remember what day it was. Not to mention other people, nobody knows anyway. I chose one myself, so it definitely doesn't count."

"..." The Taoist priest looked somewhat saddened. "Then what day did you choose yourself?"

“I was born in the Year of the Dragon, and the second day of the second lunar month is the day when the dragon raises its head. I chose the sixth day, so it shouldn’t be bad,” Song Chunxue said earnestly. “My older sisters only remember that I was born after the New Year, and they can’t even be sure if it was the first month of the lunar calendar. I’m not lying to you.”

Then, she looked at Mei Yang, who stood like a gatepost.

"Mei Yang, this is the last time. If you bother me with this kind of thing again next time, don't blame me for being ruthless."

She got angrier and angrier as she spoke, and rolled up her sleeves to point at him.

"Damn it, you've angered me today. If you dare say another word, I'll chop you up and feed you to the dogs, you believe me?"

"Can't you understand human language? I think you just need a beating. You won't stop until I beat you to death?"

Mei Yang was stunned. Forgetting her anger, she tilted her head back to avoid being poked in the eye by the rolling pin in her hand.

Yao Man couldn't help but glance at the composed Taoist priest beside her, thinking that Sister Song was never short of good men.

No wonder she was so indifferent to Mei Yang.

"Don't point the rolling pin at me, okay? I won't ask anymore." Mei Yang gently brushed the rolling pin aside. "Since we can't make a living together, can we at least be friends?"

"Make friends my ass! I'm not a thug." Song Chunxue pointed at him. "Get out of here, or I'll unleash my dogs on you. My wolfhounds are all grown up!"

Mei Yang looked down at the wolfhounds standing on either side of Song Chunxue, baring their teeth and ready to bite at any moment, and felt extremely guilty.

"Okay, I won't test you anymore. But don't misunderstand me, I have no intention of marrying anyone else. After all these years, I'm not that kind of person..."

“Your time has come, Brother Mei, you should marry her. If you miss this opportunity, you might not be able to settle down until you're sixty. Since you're not going to cultivate Taoism or become a monk, why be so persistent? Don't hold the girl back.” The Taoist priest handed him a talisman. “Your two families should choose a date and get married as soon as possible.”

Mei Yang took the talisman and said, "Thank you very much, Taoist priest. How much does it cost?"

"This is a gift for you, consider it a way to clear away my junior brother's unwanted advances," the Taoist priest said calmly. "Don't bother my junior brother anymore; you can't beat her now."
