Fang Jinxiu looked at Ning Yunzhao in front of her and didn't want to whip him, but wanted to shout loudly.
Call the whole city to come and see.
Take a look at what kind of person this so-called humble young man in your mouth is.
Fang Jinxiu was determined to be a man, so she naturally disdained and didn't care about men like other women. However, she was helpless because the tenth son of the Ning family had been famous in Yangcheng as a child prodigy since he was six years old.
From then on, whether in terms of talent, appearance or personality, everything was as perfect as everyone expected.
Despite his distinguished and wealthy family background, he is not arrogant but humble, polite and sincere to others; he has an outstanding appearance and is dashing but not romantic; he is smart but not complacent but is always learning and working hard in the ocean of books.
There is really no way to dislike such a young man.
When Jun Zhenzhen came to Yangcheng and said that she was engaged to the Tenth Master Ning, Fang Jinxiu also thought that God was blind and had ruined the Tenth Master Ning.
But now, he was meeting someone else's wife in the middle of the night, and this wife was once engaged to him.
As a gentleman, don't you know that this is inappropriate?
That's fine, just treat it as an emergency measure.
But what is happening now?
"Could it be that the time that day was too short, and the Tenth Young Master still had something to say?" Fang Jinxiu said coldly.
Ning Yunzhao nodded.
"Yes," he said.
You're such a big shot.
Fang Jinxiu cursed.
"I wonder how much the Tenth Young Master has to say in this brief encounter." She said with a sneer.
It's just a chance encounter.
Ning Yunzhao felt a little disappointed when he heard these four words.
He thought he had only met her once, but he didn't expect that she had been entangled with him for a long time.
He also didn't know whether he wanted to meet Jun Zhenzhen, who had been obsessed with the marriage certificate, or the girl he had met once when they played chess at the Lantern Festival.
Whether it was Jun Zhenzhen or her, he was sure that he had no intention of meeting them.
Why did he suddenly call the servant to follow him when he saw Fang Jinxiu just now, and then put his companions in the restaurant and took the opportunity to run out and chase after her?
What can he do? Who made him such a decisive person?
Ning Yunzhao smiled bitterly and decided to go along with it if that was the case.
"Please make yourself at your service, Miss Fang." He bowed and said firmly.
Convenient? He also knew that this was inconvenient.
Fang Jinxiu sneered.
"What the Tenth Master said is incomprehensible." She said, "Why am I inconvenient for you? If you want to see her, go ahead. I'm not holding you back. It's inconvenient for you to hold me back while I go for a ride."
Ning Yunzhao smiled.
"Miss Fang knows what I mean," he said.
Fang Jinxiu frowned.
"I don't know what you mean," she said.
The scene was like a quarrel between young lovers. Even if they were not lovers, no girl would be happy if a man told her that he was thinking about seeing another girl.
Especially since this man is Mr. Ning Shi, who is liked by all the girls.
Ning Yunzhao would never do such a rude and troublesome thing. But at this moment, facing the third Miss Fang who looked even more charming with her face tied up, he did not feel the slightest bit of uneasiness.
Miss Fang San is not that kind of person.
"I'm not that kind of person, so you should bully me like this?" Fang Jinxiu felt aggrieved.
She really felt aggrieved that Jun Zhenzhen actually took the initiative to agree to let her accompany her, as if she was sure that she would not cause trouble for her.
It's like an adult watching a child who is fussing about leaving the house. He knows that the child will not really run away, but he still opens the door and lets the child play without fear.
It's really bullying.
Ning Yunzhao is the same now. He knows that meeting Jun Zhenzhen is unreasonable and immoral, but he is determined that she will not allow the Fang family and Jun Zhenzhen to be accused of this crime and get into trouble.
When did Fang Jinxiu become so easy to bully?
Fang Jinxiu flicked the whip.
"If you want to see her, you can find her yourself. She is outside the city gate, by the river." She said, "I won't stop you, and I don't care about you. Don't bother me."
Without waiting for Ning Yunzhao to say anything, he spurred his horse past him and galloped away.
Ning Yunzhao looked at her back and did not chase after her.
The frightened servant urged his horse forward.
"Sir, should we hurry on our way or go back?" he asked cautiously.
I didn't expect that the young master would leave the people who were seeing him off and come to see this young lady.
When saying goodbye, the person you want to see most is the one you miss the most.
It turns out that the young master's favorite person is this Miss Fang.
What should he do? As Mr. Ning's servant, this was his first time encountering such a thing, and he really didn't know what to do, unlike other servants who were used to it and had no idea what to do.
Ning Yunzhao glanced in the direction of Yangcheng.
It was almost noon, so there must be more people near the city gate. No matter how careful we were, we couldn't guarantee safety.
"Let's hurry," he said, looking away.
The servant felt very sad because he could sense the young master's sadness, but he could not help.
He made up his mind that when he arrived in the capital, he would ask the servants of the young masters in the capital for advice.
Those young masters are romantic and have some tricks up their sleeves when it comes to girls.
The master and the servant urged their horses to go slowly. After only a few steps, they heard the sound of horse hooves behind them.
Ning Yunzhao looked back.
Fang Jinxiu reined in her horse and looked at him with a stern face.
"Where shall we meet?" she said.
…
Miss Jun came out of a drug store, and the servant hurried over on horseback.
A girl came running over on horseback.
"Miss San hasn't come back yet," she said, "but we just looked over and saw that she was walking along the road and not going anywhere else."
"Madam, should we wait for her or go back first?" The other maid hesitated for a moment, looked at the smile on Miss Jun's face, and asked bravely.
"Wait for her, she can't run far and will be back soon." Miss Jun said.
The girls smiled and said yes.
"Madam, let's spread out a blanket and sit by the river."
"Madam, would you like to sell a windmill?"
Seeing Miss Jun's friendly expression, no longer cold and stern to them as before, the maids became bolder and made suggestions casually and easily as if they were accompanying other young ladies.
Miss Jun looked at the hawkers carrying windmills and hawking their wares on both sides of the road. The colorful windmills spinning in the spring breeze were dazzling.
"Okay," she said, "let's buy some windmills and take them back to the old ladies and the young ladies."
The maids responded happily and dismounted. Soon they came back with a few windmills.
"Madam, what do you think of this?" They held it up for Miss Jun to see.
Miss Jun reached out to take one. The wind stopped at this time, so Miss Jun lifted her veil and blew air towards the windmill. The small windmill spun around, and the sunlight reflected her fair face and her rosy lips, which looked fresh and juicy.
Fang Jinxiu happened to be passing by at this time. Seeing this scene, she couldn't help but feel angry, but she felt angry for no apparent reason.
The maids had already seen her and waved happily.
One hundred and twenty-seven
After Fang Jinxiu said this, she felt Miss Jun looking at her.
This look is very subtle.
Fang Jinxiu was angry again.
What do you mean by that? Are you asking about some conspiracy?
You ask.
Fang Jinxiu glared at Miss Jun.
If you ask me, I will tell you loudly.
Miss Jun smiled and put down her veil.
"Let's go." She said, "I'm tired, and Third Sister made such a thoughtful arrangement."
Although it was obvious that the Third Miss was holding a grudge, Miss Jun did not fight with her like she did before, and the maids all breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone mounted their horses and followed Fang Jinxiu, and soon arrived at a restaurant.
The location of this restaurant is a bit remote and the place is not very big, but it is cleanly decorated. It is lunchtime at this time and there are many people coming and going in the small two-story restaurant.
Fang Jinxiu had already booked a room. The servants sat down in the hall and two maids accompanied her into the room.
"Watch them serve the dishes." Fang Jinxiu instructed the two maids, then looked at Miss Jun, "Accompany me to the clean room."
The two maids hurriedly stood up, trembling as they tried to speak.
"Shut up." Fang Jinxiu had already shouted at them.
Miss Jun waved to the maids, stood up and walked out, and Fang Jinxiu followed closely.
Miss Jun waited for Fang Jinxiu to lead the way, but Fang Jinxiu did not move.
"Mr. Ning Shi wants to see you." She said in a low voice with a frown on her face.
Miss Jun raised her eyebrows.
"Again?" she said.
It's a private appointment again, it's you, it's the young master of the Ning family, and it's you who is delivering the message for him.
"Are you very familiar with him?" Miss Jun said with a smile.
"Only a fool would be familiar with him." Fang Jinxiu said unhappily.
God knows why I am always haunted by him.
Being entangled by the Tenth Young Master of Ning was something that every woman in Yangcheng dreamed of, but Fang Jinxiu cursed her like this. If the news got out, I wonder how many women would be heartbroken.
"He said he has something to tell you. It's up to you whether you want to see him or not." Fang Jinxiu said in a muffled voice.
Miss Jun thought about it and nodded.
"Then meet him," she said.
Fang Jinxiu snorted and thought about it. In the past, Jun Zhenzhen did everything she could to see Ning Yunzhao, even breaking into doors and windows. Now that he came to see her, she didn't just rush over. She thought about it again.
I don't know if she's pretending or just being reserved.
Fang Jinxiu walked away without saying anything else, and Miss Jun followed her. After walking a few steps, they stopped in front of a door.
Miss Jun was just about to go in by herself, but Fang Jinxiu stretched out her hand to stop her and opened the door with her other hand.
Fang Jinxiu was not as tall as Miss Jun, and their build was similar, so she looked very thin standing by the door.
There were many people who stood in front of her and protected her in her life, but she didn't feel anything special about it. It was just a habit like eating and drinking water.
But at this moment, this girl who was one year younger than her was standing in front of her. Seeing her stretching out her hand to protect her, Miss Jun's eyes showed some warmth.
Although she never asked a single question about Jinyun Tower, Fang Jinxiu must have guessed that this matter was related to the Ning family. So she was afraid that something would be missed or go wrong, so she did not hesitate to break the rules and convey the news in a timely manner.
But she also knew that something was wrong, so she took the lead.
Miss Jun didn't say anything and didn't take another step forward. She stood behind Fang Jinxiu, her quiet and well-behaved eyes not even looking inward.
…
Ning Yunzhao felt that he had been waiting here for a long time. He stood by the window motionless, watching the people coming in and out outside.
Will she come?
She should come. After all, the matter of Jinyun Tower has been settled. Maybe she will have some doubts, curiosity or worries.
But maybe not.
It was obvious that she had already had enough responses at Jinyun Tower at that time. Even if she had not stepped forward and Jinyun Tower had not stepped forward, the Lin family would still be the choice now.
So there was actually no need for her to come.
But it doesn't mean that she likes me very much and has tried every possible way to see me. Now that I take the initiative to invite her, she should come without hesitation.
But that kind of her didn't seem to be the one he wanted to see.
So, are I willing to let her come, or not?
Ning Yunzhao stood by the window and sighed in his heart. Then he saw two women appear downstairs. The girl with a veil on her head was sitting on a horse, looking very graceful.
Ning Yunzhao couldn't help but let out a long breath. He watched her get off the horse, watched her walk into the building, and then heard the door being knocked, and then it was opened. He turned around, but didn't see her face.
Fang Jinxiu looked around the room with a vigilant expression.
Ning Yunzhao smiled knowingly and said nothing, letting her look at him.
Fang Jinxiu looked at it carefully before moving aside.
Ning Yunzhao watched Miss Jun walk in and take off her veil to reveal a familiar yet unfamiliar face.
Fang Jinxiu closed the door and went out.
If Ning Yunzhao really did something unfaithful, it wouldn't be Jun Zhenzhen who would suffer.
After weighing the pros and cons, Fang Jinxiu thought and stood outside the door, leaning against the railing in silence.
There was silence in the room.
"Thank you for Mr. Ning's sincerity. I have seen it." Miss Jun said.
This was a very appropriate opening remark. Ning Yunzhao smiled, but he still didn't know what to say.
The room fell silent again.
Miss Jun felt a little embarrassed. She thought Ning Yunzhao came to talk about Ning Yunyan. After all, this was their only intersection.
But actually, there is really no need to meet and discuss this matter. After all, this is not something worth discussing. It is enough for everyone to know it. Do you want her to praise you and say that you are doing the right thing and that this is how you should teach your children.
Don't hit someone in the face. She can't be so wanton as to do that.
The Ning family is not a masochist. When a child is beaten, the mother feels the pain. Reason is reason and human feelings are human feelings. No one will really be happy about punishing their own child.
If I can understand this truth, how can Ning Shigongzi not understand it? Then why did he come to see me? Jun Zhenzhen couldn't figure it out.
Ning Yunzhao saw her confusion and felt inexplicably annoyed.
"I am also innocent regarding the engagement," he said suddenly.
Miss Jun was stunned.
"Although I dare not disobey the gift of my elders, I always believe that I am an independent person, especially when it comes to marriage. I have the right to decide my own life." Ning Yunzhao said, "So I will not recognize the marriage arranged for me by others. This has nothing to do with your family background, and it has nothing to do with you, so I hope Miss Jun can understand."
Miss Jun smiled.
"Yes, I understand." She said, "In fact, I agree with Mr. Ning's idea. A person's life should be chosen by himself."
Having said this, she looked at Ning Yunzhao and smiled again.
"I only disagree with your family's approach to this engagement. It's not your family's decision or Master Ning's decision, so I hope Master Ning can understand."
Her answer was clear and concise, without being humble or overbearing.
Ning Yunzhao was silent for a moment.
"So can we stop here now?" he said.
Miss Jun smiled.
"When I returned the marriage certificate and your family paid back the money, this matter was over." She said, "Master Ning, whether to stop or not has been in your hands since then, but you seem to have never believed it and are unwilling to do so."
Ning Yunzhao smiled and looked at the girl in front of him.
"Now we believe it," he said.
Miss Jun also looked at him and smiled.
"I believe in Mr. Ning," she said.
The atmosphere in the room became more cheerful and relaxed, and Ning Yunzhao shook hands.
"I came here today to explain to Miss Jun. I hope Miss Jun won't resent me." He said, and before Miss Jun could say anything, he smiled and continued, "It seems that I was worrying too much."
Miss Jun nodded with a smile.
"Mr. Ning is indeed overthinking," she said.
The conversation could end here, Ning Yunzhao thought. He was always a quick and efficient person, so he raised his hand to salute.
"In that case, thank you very much for meeting me, Miss Jun. Bye," he said.
Miss Jun returned the greeting.
Ning Yunzhao walked out, but when he reached her, he stopped for some reason.
"I'm going to Beijing today," he blurted out.
One hundred and twenty-seven
After Fang Jinxiu said this, she felt Miss Jun looking at her.
This look is very subtle.
Fang Jinxiu was angry again.
What do you mean by that? Are you asking about some conspiracy?
