Chapter 709 The Visitors Are Not Friendly
Seeing Mei Yang's reaction, Song Chunxue thought to herself that she shouldn't have told him.
"Why are you still embarrassed?"
Mei Yang crossed her legs again, took out a small knife from under the table, sliced off a piece of melon, and handed it to her.
He chuckled, then said with interest, "So easily dismissed, does that mean you didn't succeed?"
"I knew it. You were serious when you swore you'd rather find a dog than a man. You're just a lazy bum. But Lord Xie is learned, handsome, gentle, and knows how to conduct himself. He's not quite right for you."
"..."
Song Chunxue took a bite of the melon; it was unusually sweet, like it had been coated with honey.
Mei Yang is indeed shrewd; she hit the nail on the head.
"Why aren't you saying anything or refuting anything? You haven't actually confessed, but you're hesitating about whether or not you should sleep with her?"
Song Chunxue closed her eyes. "Don't be so blunt. It makes me uncomfortable."
"You're acting all upset now? Don't you know how upset he is?" Mei Yang said irritably. "We're both men, I bet Lord Xie is secretly dying of frustration with a woman like you who's so indecisive..."
Seeing Song Chunxue's eyes, Mei Yang pouted, "Alright, let's not talk about it anymore. Thinking about it carefully, it's understandable. It's been so many years since you've slept on the same kang with a man. It's hard to let your guard down. I can teach you."
"..." Oh no, he really doesn't treat her like an outsider.
"Stop talking, I don't need your teaching. Do you really think I gave birth to five children for nothing? It's just that the problems between us are quite complicated. After I left, I found a master near Mount Kongtong. He said that after five years I would be able to go up the mountain in peace. Many people say that this is my love tribulation. If I really do that, it will be unfair to him."
Mei Yang shook his head. "Isn't there still five years? If someone like Lord Xie is interested in you, he's definitely not the kind of person who accepts everyone. He's not as thoughtful as you are. Five years is better than getting nothing at all."
"Maybe they'll have their own reasons for breaking up with you in five years. If they're not afraid, why are you being cowardly?"
"I'm truly impressed by you. If I were a woman, even if Lord Xie didn't say it outright, I would still seduce him without hesitation just by giving him a look. And you..."
"Stop, stop, it's disgusting to keep talking like this. Are you trying to annoy me?" Song Chunxue raised her hand to stop him from continuing. "I didn't hesitate. If he can come back from Jincheng, I won't hesitate anymore. Please stop talking."
Although Mei Yang's words are rough but the reasoning is sound, this is just too rough.
"But you should also be careful not to have a child at your age, that would be a major mishap and ruin your reputation in your later years. Seeing that your cultivation has been very effective, you should still be able to have a child, but it's best not to."
Song Chunxue laughed, "Thanks for reminding me, but I'm not stupid."
As she spoke, she couldn't stop laughing.
Mei Yang's thinking was quite thoughtful and not that offensive.
"Don't tell anyone else, I'm really afraid of ruining my reputation in my later years."
"Don't worry, I'm not one to gossip. I'll tell you when you come back with your people."
That's true, but Song Chunxue didn't intend to bring Lord Xie here, which would be disadvantageous for Lord Xie.
"It's time for lunch. You should go back now. My wife will be here soon, and she'll be upset if she sees you." With that, Mei Yang got up, took a melon, and put it in a cloth bag. "Take this home and eat it."
"That's right, that's right. You're really getting into the swing of things now, treating your wife well. A harmonious family brings prosperity." She didn't seem uncomfortable at all. "Oh, by the way, can I give your wife something?"
"What?"
"The hairpin I bought in the capital is especially beautiful."
Mei Yang took it. "Hmm, it's really pretty. She'll definitely like it. Oh, by the way, this is the harvest from the past few months. Here you go."
“Alright, but how’s your other shop doing?” Song Chunxue took out another money pouch from her bosom. “You need money to buy good materials, so don’t be too stingy.”
Speaking of this, Mei Yang scratched the back of his head sheepishly.
“I’ve heard that in the wealthy areas of the capital, they use horse-drawn carriages to deliver clothes to people’s homes. I’m thinking of buying a more impressive one to make a good impression.”
"Do you need a horse?" Song Chunxue asked with a smile. "I still have three Akhal-Teke horses left. If I don't sell them soon, I'm afraid they'll be stolen. Wouldn't it be nice to let you take care of one? We don't need to buy a carriage; you can just ride a horse."
Mentioning those horses, Mei Yang's eyes lit up. "That's true. Riding a Ferghana horse to someone's door is so prestigious, much more convenient than a carriage. Besides, we're influential people in this area now, who would dare touch my horses?"
"Then I'll send you one, and I'll deal with the other two."
"Okay, I'll bring it over tomorrow morning." Mei Yang smiled broadly. "You really are my lucky charm."
She gave Hongying a few feet of cloth and went to Hongying's place for a meal.
...
As the sun was about to set, Song Chunxue finished practicing her sword and went to the street to buy meat. When she returned, she found that her three senior brothers had already come back.
A stove sat on the stone table, and the three of them drank tea from a pot. On the kitchen counter were many vegetables they had picked from the field: pumpkins, radishes, and a few melons.
"Junior brother, we met your son-in-law today. He said he's raising a Ferghana horse for you. Is that true?" Lord Zhao asked impatiently as soon as he saw her enter the courtyard.
"It's true. You can take it if you like. Anyway, I don't dare to keep it. There will always be someone eyeing it."
Lord Zhao rubbed his hands together. "One horse each for the three of us?"
The Taoist priest laughed and said, "She already gave me one. I rode it out, but someone wanted it halfway there, so I gave it to them."
“That’s right, my senior brother and I would only be causing trouble for ourselves if we rode it, but with your two strengths, no one should dare to make a move. You two can choose, and I’ll give the remaining one to Mei Yang to save face.”
Lord Zhao stood up. "Let's go, let's go choose now."
Master Zhang sighed helplessly, "We can't run away."
But the next moment, Master Han also stood up, clearly they were both very anxious.
Song Chunxue couldn't help but chuckle, "Senior brother, you should take them there."
It's clear that if we don't pick one now, the eldest brother will be thinking about it all night.
However, this time they left through the main entrance.
Let them go, let others talk. Song Chunxue can't keep having her people climb over the wall just to shut others up.
She went to the kitchen to cook, chopping meat and putting it in the pot, preparing a very sumptuous meal.
Suddenly, two dogs that were huddled in front of the stove darted out and barked wildly toward the door.
"Clang, clang, clang."
"Is Song Chunxue home? Someone said they are your fellow Daoist and want to ask you for a drink of water."
It was the voice of Sister-in-law Tian.
Song Chunxue was suspicious. Did she have any other fellow Daoists?
She opened the courtyard gate and saw Yu Wanqing standing outside; her heart tightened.
This person is a jinx; he's up to no good.
"How did you find your way here? Who sent you?"
Song Chunxue looked wary and, holding onto the doorframe, didn't intend to let him in.
"Sorry, we can't be considered fellow Daoists. You should find somewhere else to ask for water."
Yu Wanqing smiled and used his whisk to prop up the door panel. "Don't be so stingy, Master Song. I finally found this place."
Suddenly, Yu Wanqing's expression changed, and he raised his hand and threw something at her.
