Chapter 18: Xie Dongjia delivers goods to your door
Xie Jingyu turned around when he heard the sound, revealing his mouthful of white teeth.
"Wanwan!"
That smile was like a lotus in the sun, brilliant and gorgeous.
Zhou Yuanshan and Zhou Yuanchun also saw the newcomer and looked at each other in surprise. They had gotten used to Jiang Yuyan's beauty in the past few days, but they didn't know that such a rich and noble young man could come to this remote place for her.
Zhou Yuanchun looked at them with his eyes wide open, as if he was protecting his sister-in-law.
Jiang Yuyan stepped forward and greeted him, "Why are you here?"
"I'm here to deliver the goods to you!" Xie Jingyu pointed to a pile of boxes under his feet.
Jiang Yuyan chuckled, "The service of Qionghualou is so thoughtful that the owner has to deliver the goods personally? Huh?"
"Hehe, you are the distinguished guest of our Qionghua Tower, it's only natural!" Xie Jingyu took out the white jade fan and covered his lips.
Jiang Yuyan looked at the pile of boxes and crates at his feet and asked curiously, "Did I order so many things? Or did you move your family here?"
Xie Jingyu fanned himself and moved closer to Jiang Yuyan. The incense on the clothes wafted faintly, which smelled good.
"I just happened to hear that this place is beautiful, so I came here to have some fun. These are just the things I'm used to!"
Jiang Yuyan tilted her head, feeling a little uncomfortable. She welcomed the person into the house, then squatted down and took out the item she had ordered.
After reading it, I nodded with satisfaction. It is indeed exquisitely made, low-key yet luxurious.
Xie Jingyu leaned over and pointed at the tiny diamonds. "Where did you get these jewels? They are extraordinary!"
Jiang Yuyan was very proud, "Anyway, you can't find it again, let alone Dayue Kingdom, heaven and earth, this is all there is."
Xie Jingyu muttered, "Then you give it all to Xiao Yuanyan? What about the man behind you?"
"I'm glad I have Ayan!"
"How can that be possible!" Xie Jingyu glared, "Da Yue Guo Lu, you must have at least five husbands!"
"I don't want to, can the government force me?"
Jiang Yuyan didn't take it seriously. In a couple of days she would find a book about the laws of Dayue Kingdom and study the marriage system. There would always be a solution.
“Wanwan…” Xie Jingyu wanted to say more.
Jiang Yuyan interrupted him, "Okay, okay, the things have been delivered, thank you very much. The farmhouse is simple, so I won't keep you. It's getting late, why don't you go back early? I'll come to thank you another day!"
"You chased me away as soon as I got here..." Xie Jingyu frowned, his mouth slightly puffed up, looking pitiful. "We can barely be considered friends, right? Can't you take me in?"
"I don't even have a place to live, how can I entertain guests? Sorry, please go back soon. The countryside is simple. How can a young man like you who was raised with so much gold and jade get used to it?" Jiang Yuyan explained with a smile.
Xie Jingyu frowned even deeper, and said with a sigh, "How will Xiao Yuanyan take care of you?" Suddenly he tilted his head and smiled, "Why don't you marry me? I will also raise you with all my wealth."
Zhou Yuanchun, who was standing by, couldn't stand it any longer. He reached out to pull Jiang Yuyan, and stood between the two of them. He glared at Xie Jingyu, "This is my sister-in-law! What are you thinking? Who cares about you!"
Xie Jingyu ignored the little brat. He took out two lacquer boxes with gold and flower patterns from the box and placed them on the table. They contained peach blossom cakes and steamed sugar yogurt. He also took out a set of red gold filigree inlaid purple jade headpieces and stuffed them into Jiang Yuyan's arms.
"Yes, I'll add some makeup to you."
Jiang Yuyan saw that the headgear was of high quality and well made, and obviously very expensive, so she refused to buy it.
"These two boxes of snacks are enough for friends. If the headgear is not appropriate, there is no reward without merit."
"It's just a little gadget, not worth pushing and shoving with me. If you want to marry into my Wu Palace, there will be plenty of good things. What do you think?" Xie Jingyu raised his eyebrows.
Jiang Yuyan rolled her eyes at him and said, "No, I'm fine here."
"Anyway, I've brought it. If you don't want it, I'll have to give it to the ladies in the village. I'm afraid their husbands will chase me and make trouble!" Xie Jingyu teased in a nonchalant manner.
Jiang Yuyan covered her face in embarrassment. However, in modern times, wealthy families often visit each other, so that they can maintain relationships and be able to help and have a say at critical moments. So she didn't hesitate and accepted it openly.
Jiang Yuyan thought that the colorful jewelry she had seen in modern times were much more varied than these, so she decided to give him a few sets of design drawings one day as a return gift.
"Then I will respectfully obey your command!"
Jiang Yuyan smiled and took the headgear in her hands to admire it. Wow, one has to say that the ancients were very wise!
Xie Jingyu said that he had already made an agreement with the villager to stay in his yard for the next few days. He clapped his hands, and two men in black tights appeared and quickly carried away all his boxes.
This operation made Jiang Yuyan dumbfounded, "These two big brothers...why didn't I see them just now?" Jiang Yuyan thought: "Everyone in this world is a martial arts master..."
"These are the shadow guards assigned to me by my father, Shadow One and Shadow Two. If you can detect them easily, they would have no need to live!" Xie Jingyu sneered.
"Hmph~" Jiang Yuyan was laughed at. She glared with her beautiful eyes and patted Xie Jingyu lightly, which seemed like tickling him and made her heart itchy as well.
Xie Jingyu was in a good mood and started to make jokes and talk nonsense.
It was a rare occasion for Jiang Yuyan to meet such an interesting ancient person, so she would entertain herself from time to time and not act pretentiously, just treating him as a good friend.
When Xiao Yuanyan returned home, he heard laughter from far away and walked into the house with his long legs. He saw the two people getting along well and Zhou Yuanchun and Zhou Yuanshan with constipated expressions.
Xiao Yuanyan paused, but Xie Jingyu was not arrogant and was the first to salute, "Brother Xiao!" He still wanted to enter the Jiang family, so he had to get along well with this eldest brother.
Xiao Yuanyan felt extremely uncomfortable seeing this man whose face showed signs of wanting to steal his advantage, but he didn't want to be rude, so he reluctantly exchanged a few words of greeting.
Jiang Yuyan came forward, but was too embarrassed to call Yuanlang in front of outsiders, so she said shyly, "Ayan," and held his hand affectionately.
Xiao Yuanyan's expression softened instantly, the corners of his mouth curled up, and the two of them made eye contact.
"Ahem." Xie Jingyu covered his lips with his fist, his eyes were hot and he couldn't bear to watch. "I was walking around Yunzhou and heard that you were getting married soon, so I came to ask for a drink. I hope Brother Xiao won't blame me."
Xie Jingyu started smiling again.
"That's OK, it's just that our family is poor. I'm afraid Mr. Xie is not used to drinking this." Xiao Yuanyan was unhappy to be disturbed, and turned his head expressionlessly.
"It's okay, it's okay." Xie Jingyu didn't care.
Xiao Yuanyan couldn't do anything to Xie Jingyu. It was like knowing that a bastard coveted his jewelry but couldn't drive him away. He felt really aggrieved.
That night, Xiao Yuanyan took Jiang Yuyan back to the bamboo house on the hillside. He was particularly passionate and pressed her on the bed for a long time, kissing and rubbing her. He kissed Jiang Yuyan so hard that she was panting and her eyes were filled with tears.
"This Mr. Xie has a distinguished family background and looks nice. I laugh so happily with him every night..." Xiao Yuanyan buried his head in her shoulder, feeling aggrieved.
Jiang Yuyan's heart skipped a beat, thinking she was jealous... She had no choice but to move her red lips closer to him in a flattering manner.
"I want to marry you, I really do, you don't have to worry." Jiang Yuyan said lovingly.
Xiao Yuanyan hugged her, feeling sweet and melancholy. The law of Dayue country is like this, I am afraid that every man in the world has to experience such pain. Who can bear to give up half of her to others? But as a man, he can also understand the affection of Xie Jingyu and Qin Shangyu for Wanwan. Compared with them, he is actually lucky. As long as she is still alone at this moment, he is satisfied.
With the wedding date approaching, Xiao Yuanyan is still busy hunting to earn money for the betrothal gift. He hasn't hunted anything big recently, and he's really getting anxious.
Xie Jingyu was happy to take advantage of every opportunity to accompany Jiang Yuyan. Xiao Yuanyan was not in a position to stop him. After all, he was a nobleman and could not do anything to lower his status, so he let him go.
But Xiao Yuanyan was wrong about this. Xie Jingyu was just a scoundrel. He didn't care about family etiquette, noble demeanor, or reputation. If he wanted something, he would fight for it himself. He even followed him to the mountain these past two days.
Jiang Yuyan was also happy that she didn't have to get up early and go down the mountain, and she slept soundly. Only Yingyi was tired, because he had to go all the way to Qingxi Town to buy food for the two of them every day, and then rush back to deliver it.
It seems like these two people are on vacation at a farm house. When they have time, they even hold a wine-drinking party, drinking tea and chatting among the pine wind and green bamboos. They are so happy!
In modern times, Jiang Yuyan was often reserved and aloof, but in fact it was because of years of vigilance that she had few friends. Now she is finally enjoying the fun that a young person should have.
"Look at you, you're still fanning yourself in the middle of winter, aren't you cold?" Jiang Yuyan no longer treated Xie Jingyu as an outsider and would argue with him whenever she had the chance.
"Then why do you wear a veil when you go out? Aren't you afraid of the sun?" Xie Jingyu didn't give in to her.
"We have different personalities. You are too high-profile, but I am very low-key." Jiang Yuyan said with a smile.
Xie Jingyu didn't understand this word, "What does it mean?"
"If you don't have the temperament, you can use a fan!" Jiang Yuyan laughed. "I don't need it. I'm too beautiful. I can only cover it up."
Xie Jingyu clicked his tongue and said, “Why didn’t I realize Wanwan was so...um...cute before?” The words took a turn at his lips.
Jiang Yuyan smiled brightly, with a light blush on her fair cheeks, which made Xie Jingyu's eyes and heart warm. His Adam's apple rolled, and he pounced on her face and pecked her.
They were both stunned at the same time.
While Xie Jingyu was still savoring the soft and warm touch, Jiang Yuyan's eyebrows were already raised.
"Xie Jingyu! You're itching for trouble!" He then kicked me.
Xie Jingyu shrank back smartly and begged for mercy: "Stop, Wanwan, women shouldn't be so violent!"
Jiang Yuyan chased him and slapped him, while Xie Jingyu retreated and let her go, teasing her to go around in circles. There was constant laughter in the mountains.
Xie Jingyu rarely saw a woman so lively, and he felt that his heart was filled with her. Life in the mountains is inconvenient but happy like a god! It would be great if I could be this happy every day.
