Chapter 482
Not to mention that Xie Boli didn't recognize him, even Zeng Jingshu in the Yongyi Marquis's mansion stared with disbelief when she saw Yuan Jing recently. But under such circumstances, the old lady in the marquis's mansion was anxious and angry, and the marquis even invited back the imperial physician.
Not to mention them, even the Marquis's wife, Mrs. Song, was very surprised to see Zeng Yuanjing. She never knew that the thinner Zeng Yuanjing looked so outstanding and so much like her former eldest sister-in-law, Mrs. Wei. Moreover, the reactions of the old lady and the Marquis made her feel very unusual.
Of course she disliked her nephew Zeng Yuanjing very much, because her husband's title was inherited from Yuanjing's father. The presence of this nephew seemed to always remind her that her husband and son's positions were not obtained in a legitimate way. Therefore, it was just what she wanted that Zeng Yuanjing was so fat. It was also she who fanned the flames behind the scenes to spread Zeng Yuanjing's bad reputation.
But what about now? She found out that the food sent to Zeng Yuanjing's yard was ordered by the old lady herself. Song frowned after discovering this. She realized belatedly that she had been used by the old lady in the past few years. She was so smart that she thought it was all her own achievements. Zeng Yuanjing's existence was just to set off her son's excellence. Now she suddenly realized that it was not only her who wanted to deal with Zeng Yuanjing, but also the old lady and the marquis. Why?
But no matter how much fish and meat were served, the plates were always empty. However, Zeng Yuanjing continued to lose weight and never gained weight again. Now his chubby appearance is both handsome and lovable. He is probably the most popular among the elderly women. But the old lady was anxious and angry.
Without figuring out the problem, Song simply ignored it. No matter what the old lady and the marquis' purpose was, the result would always be beneficial to her son. With such an old lady and the marquis, Zeng Yuanjing would have no chance of turning things around. She and her son could rest assured. What they should worry about was the safety of their son who was at the border.
But the Marquis also said that there are no important wars on the border right now, just minor conflicts. If his son goes there, he will have a lot of people to protect him, and he will just be gilding himself, and he will have a good position when he comes back.
Xie Boli thought about it and felt unwilling. He could hate Zeng Yuanjing, but since Zeng Yuanjing liked him, he should love him forever. Moreover, he had found out the background of the man named Jing Lie. He was just a rogue who was not good at either literature or martial arts. Compared with him, Xie Boli, he was not even worthy of carrying shoes.
With this thought in mind, Xie Boli waited outside the mansion of Marquis Yongyi early that day. As expected, he waited for Zeng Yuanjing to come out of the mansion. Then, before the carriage went far, Xie Boli ran out and blocked the carriage.
The carriage was driven by Song Shi. When he saw the person blocking the road, he immediately grimaced. What a shameless Mr. Xie, he actually dared to look for their young master.
After spending a long time with Jing Lie, he and Song Shan slowly discovered that Young Master Jing and Mr. Xie were completely different people. Even they could see Xie Boli's hypocrisy and his use of the Young Master, but Young Master Jing was not like that. When Jing Lie was with their Young Master, he took great care of him.
If the young master is really only looking for a man, then they would rather he find someone like Jing Lie rather than a scholar like Xie Boli.
Before Song Shi could say anything, Xie Boli rushed into the carriage and called out, "Fourth Young Master Zeng, it's me, Xie Boli. I want to talk to you, Fourth Young Master."
Yuan Jing was swaying and about to doze off. In fact, such a day was really comfortable. When the carriage stopped, he sensed someone outside. He was speechless. That day, he found Xie Boli staying in the teahouse opposite and glaring at them with angry eyes. Today he ran to find him. Was it because he was unwilling to accept this?
Yuan Jing lifted the carriage curtain and walked out. He stood on the shaft of the carriage but did not jump down. He looked down at Xie Boli and raised his eyebrows and asked, "Mr. Xie, what do you want to talk to me about? Just say it here. I have something to do and don't want to waste time."
Xie Boli couldn't stand the completely different attitude from before, and blurted out: "Are you going to find that man named Jing? Do you know why he is trying to please you? He is only here for your money, he is just using you."
Yuan Jing sneered. What right did Xie Boli have to say such things to him? Didn't Xie Boli come to the original body to use him? And after using him, he poisoned him to erase this stain. There is no one more disgusting than Xie Boli.
He raised his eyebrows: "I am happy. I am happy to be used by Jing Lie. But what does this have to do with you, Master Xie?"
Song Shi couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Xie Boli was also choked. He had never expected Zeng Yuanjing to be such a person. He showed a look of disapproval and said, "Is it because of me that you have become so...self-degrading?"
In fact, looking at Zeng Yuanjing so closely, he was a little dazed. If Zeng Yuanjing looked like this back then, would he still be as repulsive as he was back then? In terms of appearance, even Han Miao was not as good as Zeng Yuanjing now, because his skeleton had not fully grown yet, so he looked a bit androgynous.
Thinking that Zeng Yuanjing had fallen into depravity because of him, he suddenly felt happy.
Being liked by a fat and ugly man and being liked by a pretty boy with a charming complexion give completely different feelings. The former is disgusting and repulsive, while the latter is a surge in vanity.
Yuan Jing was disgusted by his self-righteous look. Even Song Shi looked at Xie Boli as if he had seen a ghost. Would his young master allow himself to fall? He still followed this Xie and was deceived by him. That was really too much. Now his young master has come to his senses and wants to live his life.
Yuan Jing showed a big mocking expression, and no longer politely called him Master Xie. Instead, he said, "Xie Boli, since you are here, I will tell you the truth today. It was because I was blind that I fell in love with a hypocritical man like you. Don't feel too good about yourself. In my eyes, you are not even as good as Jing Lie's little finger! Get lost! Don't show up in front of me again. If you do, I will beat you with Song Shi."
"Okay, young master!" Song Shi responded loudly, the whip in his hand was ready to move, hoping that Xie Boli would do something stupid, giving him room to perform.
Xie Boli was so shocked that he took a step back and looked at Yuan Jing with an unbelievable look: "How did you become like this?"
"Tsk, you want to find someone who is beautiful and kind-hearted? Go find the woman you love, don't be so cheap as to come in front of me. Songshi, let's go."
"Okay, go!"
When they arrived at the cloth shop, Song Shi secretly told Jing Lie about what happened when he left. His intention was to hope that Jing Lie would be nicer to his young master, seeing that the young master had ruthlessly driven Xie Boli away and was only nice to Jing Lie.
This simple and straightforward thought was presented to Jing Lie, which made him laugh. The two servants around Yuan Jing were quite interesting. He nodded and said, "Don't worry, your young master is unique in my mind."
Song Shi was very satisfied after hearing this and left happily. There was no need for too many assurances, as a man's promise was the least valuable.
Yuan Jing stayed in the cloth shop during the day, either writing vernacular novels or going to the weaving and dyeing workshops with Jing Lie to improve the craftsmanship with Jing Lie. Now the woven and dyed cloth was no longer enough for Jin Lie's cloth shop to handle, so Jing Lie was planning to open a second cloth shop.
Nowadays, there are more than twenty colors of cloth alone. In addition to cotton cloth, we have also started to purchase silk cocoons to make silk cloth. The woven and dyed silk cloth has attracted some wealthy families because of its bright colors.
Yuan Jing told Jing Lie about the anxious situation of the old lady and the Marquis in the Marquis's mansion: "It seems that my face really looks like my biological mother, so the old lady was scared. I think she really wants to keep me in the mansion and not let me go out. What will happen next?"
"Then you better be careful." Although Jing Lie knew that Yuan Jing was very capable and the two men couldn't plot against him, he still gave them a warning.
Yuanjing Nod.
On the surface, it seemed that he had eaten up all the delicious fish and meat that were sent to his yard from the mansion. In fact, he was impatient to always eat these heavy and fishy dishes. He thought that the combination of meat and vegetables was best. However, in fact, these meat and vegetables were put away by others. He ate the fruits in the space or the dishes that Jing Lie prepared and put into his space. His cooking skills were no worse than those of the royal chefs in the palace.
He would send these meat dishes to the workshop every few days as a side dish for the workers in the workshop. He was very tired of them, but when he paired them with vegetarian dishes in the workshop, the workers welcomed them very much and would have meat every few days.
When the troupe found by the fourth dandy young master finally staged the play "Repaying Gratitude", Yuan Jing's second vernacular novel was also mostly completed. This time the subject matter was very novel, it was a time-travel novel, traveling from their present era to a fictional period that did not exist in history, which was a time of troubled times. They traveled there to start building achievements and end the chaotic period to unify the world. I believe that this time his readers will not only be women, but also a lot of men. No matter which era, men will yearn for such a glorious life of building achievements and accomplishing great deeds.
After Xia Zhou, Li Yan and Zhao Yu read the manuscript written by Yuan Jing, they were fascinated by it. Without waiting for Yuan Jing to finish writing the whole book, Xia Zhou arranged for the printing of the first volume. This novel would be much longer than the previous one.
Yuan Jing certainly would not ignore the female readers accumulated from the first book, so he designed several outstanding female characters in it. They will play a very important role in the process of the male protagonist's success, but one thing is that they will never become the male protagonist's harem.
The next evening, someone came to the cloth shop looking for Young Master Jing. Jing Lie came out and saw that it was a servant of the Jing family. The people of the Jing family finally couldn't help but come.
"I see. I'll go back after dinner. You go back first."
"Okay, Second Young Master." The Jing family couldn't afford to support many servants. This was a servant girl in the family. After entering the cloth shop and seeing the handsome and noble young man beside the Second Young Master, she didn't know what to do with her hands and feet.
