Chapter 458: Misunderstanding deepens

Meng Bujiu was stunned, but he didn't think much about it and answered her honestly: "Fubao and I are going to Jiangnan for fun in a while, and I want to ask Mingxue if he wants to go."

"He's not going. He has something to do and can't leave." Wan Xian answered without thinking.

"Mom, what's the matter? How come I don't know? Don't blame me, I'll go. You and Fubao are going, so of course I have to go too." Kong Mingxue didn't know what his mother was doing, so he quickly interrupted.

"No, you have something to do! You still have five girls to see, and you can't leave." Wan Xian glared at her son.

Kong Mingxue was a little confused.

But seeing that my mother was so firm in her attitude, I had no choice but to listen to her.

"Okay, if you don't want to go, then don't go. There's still a long time to go anyway. After the provincial examination, Bujiu, Fubao, the three of us will go to the imperial city together, just as if we were accompanying Bujiu to the imperial examination. As for Tongmu, he has to take care of his son, so he shouldn't go, otherwise his son won't recognize him when he comes back." Kong Mingxue seemed to be certain that Meng Bujiu would fail.

Wan Xian also realized that her tone just now was too harsh.

So, I didn't open my mouth again.

She held the bowl and ate without saying a word.

After Kong Mingxue finished his breakfast, he took them to his room.

As soon as he came in, he went straight to the bookcase and took out the storybook he had read last night.

"This book is so interesting. I wish I were Yu Taotian." Kong Mingxue was extremely envious.

Jiang Fubao took the storybook and flipped through it.

This is a martial arts novel, with some elements of cultivation in the later part.

It mainly tells the story of an ordinary bastard who is bullied and looked down upon by everyone in the family, so that his future wife who was engaged to him as a child is also snatched away by his legitimate brother. The most crucial thing is that the protagonist's legitimate brother did not marry her, but took her as a concubine, so she would rather be a concubine than be the protagonist's wife.

This was tantamount to humiliating the male protagonist in public. From then on, the male protagonist became more and more silent until he was beaten half to death by the people sent by his eldest brother. He was then rescued and brought home by a peasant girl, who fed him some herbal medicine from the mountains. This herb was a magical product, and after taking the medicine, the male protagonist's Ren and Du meridians were unblocked, and he reached the peak of his life from then on.

Jiang Fubao was speechless.

Isn't this the kind of face-slapping story that is common in modern male channels?

The article describes in various ways how great the male protagonist's body is.

A body full of bulging tendons.

Every woman who sees him drools.

I wish I could deliver it to your door.

When he took a bath in the river, the women washing clothes would scream like crazy and steal his underwear.

I really can't believe that her brother Mingxue actually likes to read this kind of book.

Meng Bujiu, who was standing by, also glanced at him for a few seconds, then looked away.

He is not interested.

He even snatched the notebook and threw it to Kong Ming to learn.

"Don't take this kind of thing and pollute Fubao's eyes. Now I know why you are counting down." Meng Bujiu's tone was a little unfriendly, and after he finished speaking, he rolled his eyes at Kong Mingxue.

If I had focused more on studying, I wouldn't have almost failed the exam.

"Hehe, I'm not as smart as you. No matter how hard I study, I can't catch up with you. I'm just going to take part in the provincial examination for fun. You have to study hard. Also, when you go to Jiangnan this time, you have to come back early and take good care of Fubao. Don't let her be bullied. Do you understand?"

Kong Mingxue felt a little embarrassed, and he pretended to cough twice.

Instructing Meng Bujiu.

"I want you to say it?" Meng Bujiu half-closed his eyes and glanced at him.

The two of them were just a pair of bickering lovers, always fighting and talking in weird ways. Jiang Fubao was used to it.

"Come on, have some hot tea and some cakes." When the two were pretending to wrestle, Wan Xian suddenly appeared at the door.

Two maids followed her, one holding three cups and the other holding a plate of cakes.

See Meng Bujiu and Kong Mingxue stick together.

Wan Xian's face looked extremely ugly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Kong Mingxue quickly loosened his hand, and Meng Bujiu also smoothed out the wrinkles on his clothes.

"Mom, what's wrong with you today? You look weird." There were only his good brother and sister in the room, no outsiders, so Kong Mingxue asked directly.

"It's okay. What could possibly happen to my mother? Okay, I'll leave after delivering the gifts. The matchmaker will be coming to our house soon."

Wan Xian was afraid that she might say something wrong, so she simply ran away.

"How strange." Kong Mingxue looked at her back and muttered.

"I am worried about you, too. By the way, Brother Mingxue, what kind of wife do you want to marry?"

Jiang Fubao sat on the chair, raised his head and asked him.

After saying that, he pinched a piece of cake and took a bite.

These cakes are all her favorites.

"I'm fine with either, as long as I like you. I'm not picky." Kong Mingxue also sat down on the edge of the bed, while Meng Bujiu stood next to Jiang Fubao but did not sit down.

There was only one chair next to the table. If you wanted to sit down, you could only sit with Kong Mingxue or move a chair from ten steps away.

He is lazy.

"Aren't you going to pick yet? You've been so picky that your godfather and godmother are getting so anxious." Jiang Fubao twitched his mouth.

"Whatever. If I can't find it, then just find it. I'll become a monk." Kong Mingxue joked.

The three chatted for half an hour.

Jiang Fubao and Meng Bujiu left.

Wan Xian has been hiding in the dark and observing them.

The matchmaker or not, it's all lies she made up.

Time flies by.

The full-moon banquet is finally here.

Wanyu had also finished her confinement, and on this day, she dressed up very beautifully.

The clothes are all new.

The jewelry is all new.

Not only that, she was also wearing a huge gold bracelet on her wrist, which Zhang Jinlan had given her this morning. It was so heavy that she felt tired after lifting it for a long time.

Kuai Kuai also wore two small gold bracelets on her wrists.

The full-moon banquet was not too grand.

We only invited people with whom we have good connections, so there were only four tables in total.

After the full moon banquet, Jiang Fubao took Xue Huan and went to Jiangnan with Meng Bujiu.

It's already early November.

The weather was particularly cold. In the carriage, Xue Huan poured hot tea for Jiang Fubao and brought a woolen blanket to cover her legs.

Lingshan was sitting outside with the groom.

This carriage belongs to the Dong family.

It is relatively large, and driving on the road is not as bumpy as a pony carriage.

They set off before dawn. Jiang Fubao felt a little groggy and she fell asleep leaning on Xue Huan's shoulder.

Although Meng Bujiu was reading a book, his eyes were always on her.

He was afraid that she would fall asleep and get thrown off by the carriage.

Lianshan Town is quite far from Jiangnan. Excluding the night time, it would take at least three days to get there.

In the evening, they would stay in a nearby inn, always taking two rooms.

Meng Bujiu and Lingshan are one.

Jiang Fubao and Xue Huan share a room.

Both of them treated their servants well and did not let them sleep on the floor.

The bed in the inn was quite big, so Lingshan and Xuehuan slept next to Jiang Fubao and Meng Bujiu.

At the same time, Chen Hongxia from Jiangjia Village also finished washing up and prepared to go to bed.

There are still three days left before she gets engaged to Zhang Jiabao.

But she just couldn't be happy.
