90 Love is hard to return
Xiao Tingyun's smile dropped instantly, very good, "The mung bean cake is gone."
With that said, close the shop and sleep soundly!
Lanzhi collapsed, "My green bean cake!!!"
…
There seemed to be no follow-up to Madam Xu's proposal of marriage, but Xiao Tingyun had no intention of caring about it.
The weather was no longer so hot, so Xiao Tingyun asked someone to build a swing in the yard.
Also, someone prepared some thirst-quenching fruit tea.
Sitting on the swing, squeezing grapes in my hands, I feel very comfortable.
Luzhi approached slowly, "Miss, there's a call from the concierge saying that Miss Yang has sent a visiting card."
Xiao Tingyun took it and took a look. "Tell the concierge to tell her that I'm free now and ask her to come quickly."
Luzhi nodded and quickly replied.
Xiao Tingyun was already bored, and he didn't know why Yang Mingzhu came to his house.
It just happened to help me relieve my boredom.
While waiting for Yang Mingzhu, Xiao Hezhou laughed out loud, "Ayun, this is really unique!"
Xiao Tingyun paused while swinging his legs, "Third brother? Why are you here?"
"Let me tell you some news." Xiao Hezhou sat down, poured himself a cup of tea and drank it in one gulp.
"What's the hurry?" Xiao Tingyun pulled the swing and swung it slightly, causing the leaves on the swing to slowly fall down.
Xiao Hezhou poured another cup, then he calmed down and savored the taste of the cup with a gentleman's demeanor.
"Remember the picture we drew earlier?"
Xiao Tingyun immediately raised his hand to stop him, "Stop! That was a painting you drew yourself, Third Brother. It has nothing to do with me!"
Xiao Hezhou was helpless, "Okay, okay, this is the painting I drew myself, do you still remember it?"
Is that a reasonable way to put it? She just made a few comments, how could it be counted?
"Remember, what happened to that painting?" Xiao Tingyun remembered that he said he was going to attend some calligraphy and painting banquet?
"Didn't you say you were going to attend a calligraphy and painting banquet? You were also going to appreciate each other's works. Could it be that the painting embarrassed you?" Xiao Tingyun was suspicious and asked hurriedly, "You didn't betray me, did you?!"
Xiao Hezhou was speechless, "It's not like you haven't seen that painting before, how could you embarrass me?"
Xiao Tingyun said "Oh" and swung the swing unhappily again. If he wasn't embarrassed, why did he look like he wanted to blame someone?
"What's wrong?"
Xiao Hezhou finished his tea, smiling, "That painting not only didn't embarrass me, but it made everyone praise it. They were especially interested in the part you painted."
"Really?" Xiao Tingyun became interested and put his feet on the ground.
"What do you mean?"
Xiao Hezhou talked about the scene that day.
It turned out that many classmates and friends attended the calligraphy and painting banquet.
Originally, his calligraphy and paintings were considered good and received amazing praise, but when Xiao Hezhou took out his own paintings, everyone was amazed and asked Xiao Hezhou about his painting inspiration.
They also discussed specifically the lamp among them and started a poetry banquet with that lamp as the theme.
His painting was also chosen as the first prize of the banquet.
"Now you understand, no one belittles your finishing touch. Instead, everyone praises it." Xiao Hezhou proudly praised his sister.
Xiao Tingyun smiled and said, "It seems that I have stumbled upon this by mistake."
As he said this, he got up from the swing and sat next to Xiao Hezhou.
"No, it's your own literary talent." Xiao Hezhou shook his head. "Ayun, why should you belittle yourself? You are naturally gifted. Father said that you are very knowledgeable. If you take the imperial examination, I'm sure you will be on the list."
Xiao Tingyun couldn't believe what he said. The imperial examinations in ancient times were different from those in modern times. The things tested could not be completed by rote memorization alone.
We must be able to empathize with the country's realities and the people's livelihood.
"Third brother thinks too highly of me." Xiao Tingyun said sincerely.
Xiao Hezhou didn't say much, and continued, "I brought you the Yangyuan Pills that Shaoli mentioned before. Shaoli said that this pill has a warming and tonic effect, and it will be good for you to take it."
He pulled a small box out of his sleeve and handed it to her.
Xiao Tingyun didn't want to take it, "Third brother, you should return it to Mr. Fang. This thing is too valuable. I can't take it."
When Xiao Hezhou learned that the Xu family came to propose to Ayun, his first reaction was that it was not possible.
Xu Huaili is a cold and stern person who never smiles. He is also a military general. How could Ayun marry him and be bullied?
But he also understood that Ayun had grown up after all and it was time for her to consider marriage.
It happened that Fang Shaoli gave him something again, and he understood what Fang Shaoli meant.
It was also the first time that he considered the possibility of Fang Shaoli becoming his brother-in-law.
Taking his personal preferences, bad habits and family situation into consideration, I unexpectedly found that he was okay.
It's just that Fang Shaoli is a little bit out of touch, but compared with Xu Huaili and others, this problem doesn't seem to be a big problem. That's why he thought of bringing the things over so that he could ask Ayun what he thought.
Xiao Tingyun naturally understood Fang Shaoli's feelings for her, but she was not interested, so it was best not to contact him, not to accept him, and not to give him hope.
"Shaoli has his own plan. If you really think it's valuable, then Third Brother will pay it back for you." Xiao Hezhou touched his sister's head and said gently, "It's good for you, so what if I owe you a favor?"
But Xiao Tingyun insisted, "Third brother, I really can't accept it. It's easy to repay a favor, but I don't want to owe it."
Love is hard to return...
Xiao Hezhou wanted to say something else, to say a few good words for Fang Shaoli, but he could see the seriousness in her eyes.
Xiao Hezhou knew that his sister understood what he meant, and he also knew that Fang Shaoli had no chance at all.
"Really?"
Xiao Tingyun nodded affirmatively, "I really can't have that!"
Xiao Hezhou did not force it, "Well... okay, I will return the things to him."
It also comforts his heart which was broken after a brief moment of love.
Sigh... I guess the person is getting depressed.
"Thank you, Third Brother."
"No need to thank me, it's Third Brother's fault." So what even if the Xu family proposes marriage? Could it be that the Xiao family is afraid? ?
Xu Huaili is not suitable, so he is not suitable. If his sister says she doesn’t want to marry him, then she won’t marry him!
Not long after Xiao Hezhou left, Yang Mingzhu came in a hurry.
There was excitement about gossip on her face. Seeing her like this, Xiao Tingyun knew that today would not be boring.
Yang Mingzhu looked around Shuyu Tower without any hesitation and felt that it was different from her own home.
Although there aren’t many expensive things, it’s very comfortable and relaxing.
After everyone turned around and returned to the swing, Yang Mingzhu exclaimed, "Tsk tsk, you really know how to enjoy yourself."
Sit on the swing, drink some tea and eat some fruit.
Xiao Tingyun took a bite of the honeydew melon and joked, "Your level of enjoyment is not any worse than mine. I heard that you grind pearls into powder and apply it on your face every day."
Yang Mingzhu smiled awkwardly, "Um... not every day."
Sometimes it would be two days, and when I think about it this way, it seems that I really enjoy it more.
"No one comes to see you for no reason. Tell me what you want from me." Xiao Tingyun spared her this time and spoke.
Yang Mingzhu's eyes lit up when she heard this, "Yes! I'm looking for you because I have important news!"
