Chapter 187 Negotiation
Qin Qixuan didn't feel embarrassed about being caught peeking by Song Jiayuan.
He stared at Song Jiayuan with his eyes, thinking about something.
Song Jiayuan couldn't help laughing after hearing what Qin Qixuan said.
"Mr. Qin is wrong. I am just a chess piece on this chessboard. As a chess piece, how dare I not follow the established route?"
Qin Qixuan was shocked.
They originally thought that Mr. Song was just smooth and knowledgeable, but he was just an arrogant young man. They didn't expect that he had such a keen eye and could see that this was just a trap set for the three of them.
Qin Qixuan didn't say anything, wanting to hear what Song Jiayuan wanted to say next.
Song Jiayuan shook his head indifferently.
"Although it's not pleasant to be schemed against, the woman is indeed a beauty, so I'll just accept it. In my opinion, the princess went to great lengths to let Su Xiaoxiao and I meet by chance, maybe because she thinks that I, Song Jiayuan, will fall in love with every woman I meet?"
He laughed to himself after saying that.
"You guys are right, I, Song Jiayuan, am a flirtatious person."
Qin Qixuan saw that he had guessed it, so he didn't hide it, but instead bowed to him in admiration.
"I wonder how brother Jiayuan knew that this was a trap set by the princess?"
Song Jiayuan shook his head and said leisurely.
"Not only the eldest princess, I'm afraid the head of the Qin family also had a hand in it. The eldest princess asked Su Xiaoxiao to accompany her back to her room, which is why Su Xiaoxiao got lost outside. It happened that all of us young masters were playing Cuju here, and I have always been a loner, so I found some leisure time in the forest. And the second young master Qin also came here after hearing that the eldest princess took Su Xiaoxiao away. With so many hints, it would be inappropriate if you can't guess it."
He raised his peach blossom eyes and looked at Qin Qixuan excitedly.
"As for me saying that the head of the Qin family was also involved in this - it's because the second young master likes Su Xiaoxiao, but the head of the Qin family doesn't like it. The Qin family has always been on good terms with the eldest princess. I'm afraid that the eldest princess designed this banquet to relieve the worries of her own handkerchief friend!"
Qin Qixuan secretly envied Song Jiayuan in his heart.
Although I heard that he was talented before, what I heard most was his romantic history.
I didn't expect that he was actually a hidden talent, pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger. He must not be underestimated in the court in the future.
Qin Qixuan did not deny his words, but just smiled slightly.
"Mr. Song is right. But the reason why the princess arranged for Su Xiaoxiao to meet you is because of Mr. Song's "reputation."
Song Jiayuan laughed when he heard it. What
Qin Qixuan said was not wrong. If he hadn't had lustful thoughts first, he would not have stepped into this game.
But he has always been different from those pedantic old men. Even if this is the truth, he accepted it. After all, gentlemen like to marry beautiful ladies, and this is just a normal love of beauty.
"Yes, since the princess arranged for me to be the 'evil man', I will obey her."
Song Jiayuan said this in a good way, but there was a hurt expression on his face, and he looked a little aggrieved.
"It's a pity that the little beauty I liked is so pitiful and has to be played around by you."
How could Qin Qixuan not hear that Song Jiayuan was also trying to negotiate.
After doing this, he got the beauty in his arms and the favors of the Qin family and the princess. He can only say that it is a steady profit. He actually wants to get more here. I'm afraid he is a little greedy.
"But Mr. Song has nothing to lose. On the contrary, you will get a lot of things you want, right?"
Qin Qixuan did not give in and did not add any more conditions because of the threat Song Jiayuan showed.
Seeing this, Song Jiayuan did not continue to act and smiled awkwardly.
"Mr. Qin is right. Since this is the arrangement of the eldest princess, I, Song Jiayuan, must serve the eldest princess."
He smiled even more proudly.
"Besides, Su Xiaoxiao is also interesting. I like to conquer this kind of woman who likes to play with men in the palm of my hand."
Destroying that kind of self-righteous feeling and stirring a girl's heart is indeed what he, Song Jiayuan, likes to do. Even if there is no favor from the Qin family and the eldest princess, Song Jiayuan is not opposed to this matter. So it's no wonder that he has such a bad reputation outside. It's not that he's just pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. He's just a playboy.
Qin Qixuan was speechless, but since Song Jiayuan was willing to continue to cooperate with them, it was indeed the best thing.
"In that case, then I wish us a happy cooperation."
After the two shook hands, Qin Qixuan couldn't help but ask thoughtfully.
"Mr. Song won't get drunk in the arms of a beauty and never get out of it."
This means that Song Jiayuan won't really get himself involved, fall in love with Su Xiaoxiao, and help Su Xiaoxiao deal with the Qin family.
Song Jiayuan sneered.
"Even if that's the case, won't your Qin family make a steady profit? Su Xiaoxiao left the Qin family, and you don't have to owe me a favor. Besides..."
His eyes flickered, and the next moment he was still the proud young man.
"As for Su Xiaoxiao, she is not qualified enough."
After these words, the two of them truly reached a cooperation.
Song Jiayuan let out a long breath, and said goodbye to him with a smile.
"After meeting him today, it is just as the rumors say. The eldest young master Qin is smart and has a lot of ideas; and the second young master Qin is a natural general, who has studied the art of war deeply, but he doesn't have much ideas when it comes to dealing with the human relationships and the ways of the world."
Xiao Xixi watched another big drama and was very satisfied. Hearing Song Jiayuan say this, he immediately felt that these intellectuals were really speaking in a roundabout way, smiling with a dagger hidden behind their smiles.
[Song Jiayuan's words are also interesting. He is just saying that the eldest brother is very sinister and the second brother is very stupid! Although the second brother is indeed stupid...]
Qin Qixuan also understood that Song Jiayuan was trying to trick them in various ways, but he would not lose out verbally.
"Mr. Song said this, he must be very confident about the imperial examination. It seems that the next number one scholar will be none other than Mr. Song."
Xiao Xixi nodded again in understanding.
[Big brother is telling Song Jiayuan not to be complacent and to take care of his own exam first.] The
more Qin Xixi thought about it, the more she felt that although what big brother said was a bit innocuous, it was actually heartbreaking when she savored it carefully.
Because Song Jiayuan also took the exam this time, but did not get a very good result.
Even if he wins the first place next time, people will say that he is not as good as Qin Qixuan.
Song Jiayuan also thinks Qin Qixuan is a bit interesting, but he doesn't say anything more to him and leaves with a big laugh.
