Chapter 91
Wei Yijun was introduced to several marriage proposals, but was rejected indifferently.
That child is also stubborn.
Although he seems to be fully focused on his career, he actually has his heart set on something else.
However, now, even if they agreed, they could not rob Zhang Yunniang openly.
What happened at the palace banquet that day has spread, and now, Zhang Yunniang and Jun Qingmo are tied together tightly.
They didn't have any chance to fight.
Now the child's career is advancing very rapidly and his future is bright.
But there has been no progress in the matter of marriage.
"If I hadn't stopped you, you and Ziteng wouldn't have been separated. The child was anxious to get married, but now, he's not even allowed to mention it." Lady Kangle Hou was a little discouraged.
"Miss Zhang, I was blind to the truth. Now that you two are no longer together, how can I persuade my son to let it go?"
Mrs. Wei had previously listened to Zhang Yunniang's advice and achieved results, but now new problems have arisen.
Based on previous contacts, this girl is insightful, and she wants to hear some opinions as a last resort.
The sound of a kettle falling to the ground was heard from behind the screen. Wei Yijun came to the teahouse to discuss some things with someone. He met the servants of the Marquis' Mansion in the stairwell and learned that his mother was meeting Zhang Yunniang there.
Wondering how the two knew each other, he happily rushed over.
He stopped the guy who was delivering tea, didn't let the servants report, and sneaked in himself.
He wanted to hear what the two were discussing.
Listening to their gossip, he originally thought that they seemed to be somewhat familiar with each other.
I was just about to go out to say hello, but I didn't expect to hear what my mother said.
"Master, are you burned?"
Upon hearing this, Madam Wei hurried over and said, "Son, are you burned? Let me take a look."
"Mom, why, why?"
Wei Yijun looked at Zhang Yunniang, "Is this why you've been avoiding me all this time?"
Zhang Yunniang avoided him completely, and I originally thought she really didn't like him.
He wanted to have more contact with her, but his busy official duties were already a constraint, and Zhang Yunniang was sincerely avoiding him, which always discouraged him.
"I don't know. I'm sorry. I don't know anything. No wonder, no wonder you don't like me. I don't even understand why you're avoiding me."
"Son, I, I."
"Mom, how could you say one thing to my face and another behind my back? You know I like her, you know how much I like her."
Mrs. Wei was at a loss what to do after being questioned.
She now feels guilty because her son has always been unwilling to watch other people get married. He used to see his family members in pairs and clamoring for wives, but now he runs away when the topic of marriage is mentioned.
"Mrs. Wei, can I talk to Master Wei alone?"
"Okay, you guys chat, you guys have a good chat." Mrs. Wei looked at her gratefully and went out with the servants. She felt very sorry that her son was now alone.
A good marriage was ruined by her.
How could a woman who could raise a scholar who could become a top scholar be unworthy of being the mistress of the Wei Mansion?
Previously, she was short-sighted.
She was the one who let her son down.
Zhang Yunniang looked at Wei Yijun and didn't know how to start for a moment.
She always impulsively does things that she immediately regrets.
However, this matter itself has nothing to do with Mrs. Wei. Wei Yijun is a good man, and Jun Qingmo's rise was largely due to his care.
She didn't want any rift to arise between the mother and son because of such an insignificant person like her.
"Did you get burned just now?" She looked at the splashed area on the person's shoes.
"The shoes are thick, so they didn't get soaked."
"Shall we sit down and talk?"
The big man was very obedient and found a chair to sit down.
"Mrs. Wei didn't do anything. Don't misunderstand her. She is your mother and she truly does it for your own good."
"Then why does she want to stop us from interacting?"
"This matter has nothing to do with her. She is not the one who is stopping it."
"Then why do you keep avoiding me and not even giving me a chance?" Wei Yijun looked at her aggrievedly. This was the first time she saw a tough guy cry.
She couldn't bear to see people looking at her with such a wronged look on their faces.
Every time Jun Qingmo lowered his head, shed tears, and looked at her with grievance, she was at her wit's end.
Thinking about it this way, the two of them can get to where they are today only because Jun Qingmo can cry.
"It's my problem. Master Wei, I haven't told you about my past. You only know that I'm an orphan without parents. You don't know that I was once a beggar, beaten, and scolded. I've been through so much, so I'm timid and cowardly, and I'm afraid of getting hurt."
"The Earl's Mansion, now a Marquis' Mansion, is a family far beyond my reach. If I were a native, raised here little by little, living in a harmonious family, I would have the courage to gamble. But I'm not. So, even if Madam Wei hadn't come to me, it would have been impossible for us."
"Why can't I, but Yuan Jin can? Isn't Yuan Jin's family background also a wealthy and powerful one?"
Wei Yijun didn't believe that anyone would look down on someone with a higher social status. People tend to go to higher places, and water flows to lower places.
It was the first time he heard that he was abandoned because of his good family background.
What could Zhang Yunniang say? She had been with Jun Qingmo for too long, so long that he knew her very well, and her concerns were gradually eroding away.
Also, he was too good at acting pitiful, which always made her feel soft-hearted.
She has always been soft-hearted and would not tolerate harshness. Before she could even think about it, she was already under the control of others.
"Perhaps it's because we've been through so much together along the way. Watching him slowly pick himself up, step by step to where he is today, and gradually supporting his family, if you ask me, I can't really explain it." Zhang Yunniang smiled helplessly, "Perhaps it's because he cries so well that I can never bring myself to do it."
"Master Wei, my experiences have made me naturally cold-hearted and extremely cautious. I won't trust anyone easily. Whether Madam Wei came to see me or not wouldn't change my decision. Even someone as cold-hearted as me can still stumble upon something unexpected. Someone as bright and outgoing as you will soon meet someone who truly loves you."
Wei Yijun thought about the time when he and Jun Qingmo were eavesdropping in the corner and the man was crying at the drop of a hat. It turned out that he lost because he was too proud and too martial.
Having said everything that could be said, Zhang Yunniang stood up and said goodbye.
After returning to the mansion, she held the box containing the tea set and wanted to sneak back to the courtyard.
But Jun Qingmo was waiting at the door. When he saw her coming back, he waved to her.
The person who was guarding secretly sent a message. Zhang Yunniang met Madam Wei and Wei Yijun. He wanted to go and bring them back directly, but he was worried that people would find out and get angry. So he pretended to come back for lunch and waited at the door for a long time.
He didn't show it on his face, but he was anxious inside, really worried that someone would abandon him and run away.
At this moment, seeing people, he felt at ease.
Seeing someone holding a box, I guess it must be a newly made tea set.
"Are you hungry? Let's go eat."
"Okay, let's go."
"The box is heavy, let me hold it."
"No."
Zhang Yunniang held the exquisite little box, and this time she didn't show off.
If it's snatched away again, she won't have time to make another one.
Seeing her look of being on guard against thieves, Jun Qingmo shook his head and said, "Why are you still treating me like a thief? Keep it well. I don't want it from you."
Seeing that he didn't seem interested at all, Zhang Yunniang put the box on the dining table.
Jun Qingmo served someone a bowl of soup and asked, "Why did you take so long to come back?"
"When I went to get the tea set, I met Madam Wei. She liked my tea set and wanted to buy it, but I definitely wouldn't sell it to her. She asked me to go to a teahouse with her for some tea, and we met Master Wei who was discussing business, and we chatted for a while."
"You still remember to come back, so I reward you with a chicken drumstick."
Jun Qingmo was overjoyed and tore off both chicken legs and put them in the other person's bowl.
Zhang Yunniang never avoided him and explained everything clearly, which made him feel very safe.
Wow, how come he has such good taste.
"You eat this leg, I want to eat something else." Zhang Yunniang took one from her own bowl and threw it back. After eating two big drumsticks, what else could she eat?
Oh, no brains.
He is quite smart when it comes to serious matters, but he is always dull and clumsy when it comes to small things in daily life.
She touched the back of the person's head and said, "Silly and cute."
"What did you just say? I didn't hear the last word clearly."
"Silly and cute."
"What's the last word?" Jun Qingmo looked confused and didn't hear clearly.
"Love." Zhang Yunniang was gnawing on a chicken leg, and her pronunciation was not that unclear.
"I know, I know, love me, love me, I hear you."
"......" Childish! Will falling in love make people childish?
So, are they in the dating stage now?
Does it count?
Jun Qingmo had expressed his love to her, and she had also proposed but been rejected.
I guess so?
Never mind.
It turns out that falling in love really makes people stupid.
Seeing that the man was struggling with the bowl, and was completely focused on eating, Jun Qingmo pretended to pick up some food while no one was paying attention, and took the wooden box on the other side.
A dark shadow flashed before Zhang Yunniang's eyes. Following the shadow, she saw her box being brought to her.
She was about to grab it, but Jun Qingmo shouted, "Don't grab it, it will break if it falls to the ground." She hesitated and the man opened the box.
Inside was a teapot shaped like a bamboo shoot and two teacups shaped like bamboo joints.
Jun Qingmo's eyes lit up as he took it out to play with it. This one looked better than the previous one! It had a better sense of design.
He pulled the teapot into his arms, staring with his dark, wet eyes, trying hard to change his gentle and noble aura into a pitiful one, "Wow, Yunniang, this is mine, it's mine."
Zhang Yunniang's face was full of black lines. She shouldn't have taken it lightly.
This person has been shameless for a long time, why is she still so "underestimating the enemy"?
"Don't make a fuss. If you like it, I'll make you another set when I have time. But now that Miss Liu is getting married soon, there's no time to make another one."
"If I make another set, it won't be this one. I don't have many of your things, so I won't give them to others."
"Jun Qingmo, if you don't behave rationally anymore, I'll beat you up!"
Jun Qingmo looked at her with sparkling eyes, his face full of "Come on, come on, come and beat me up."
Beating is love, scolding is love, and when love is deep, kicking is the way to love!
Zhang Yunniang held her forehead and said, "Oh God, please send someone to take him away."
"Jun Qingmo, when did you become so shameless?"
Zhang Yunniang was so angry that she couldn't beat him now. She thought back to the time when she could easily suppress him.
Now, why is she always outmaneuvered?
"You only hit me and scold me because you like me. Otherwise, why don't you hit or scold others, but only me?"
Zhang Yunniang stood up, sat on the man, and started to touch the hateful handsome face in front of her all over. She didn't let go until the man's face was covered with red marks.
Jun Qingmo put the things in his hand back on the table and turned to hug Zhang Yunniang.
Just as she was distracted, Zhang Yunniang jumped to the ground holding the box.
She ran out of the dining room carrying the box. "Tsk, you're too young to fight me."
Jun Qingmo looked at the figure running away quickly. It was a pity. He was too careless just now, otherwise he could have held the person for a while longer.
