Chapter 177: Escape from marriage,
Jiang Youning had been to the milk tea shop and asked the shopkeeper to recognize her. When she saw the person standing at the door, she immediately went around the counter to greet her.
"Madam."
Jiang Youning said, "I just came to take a look, you go about your business."
The shopkeeper said gently, "Madam, if you need anything, just tell me."
Jiang Youning nodded, "Okay."
The shopkeeper then returned to the counter and ordered, "Go and prepare a cup of taro flavored milk tea for Madam."
"I understand, shopkeeper."
The waiters were both girls and boys, and the one who was talking to the shopkeeper was a girl.
Jiang Youning glanced at the flow of customers in the store. Although it was not full, the flow was already very good.
After walking around for a while, the waiter brought over a cup of milk tea, "Madam, please have some milk tea."
Jiang Youning looked down and saw that it was taro-flavored milk tea. Then she looked at the person who brought the milk tea, and saw that it was a sweet-looking girl.
Big Brother has used all modern marketing methods.
Teahouses are gathering places for literati and scholars, who are pretentious and talk and laugh.
Let beautiful and talented women be the shopkeepers to attract customers and be able to recite poems with customers.
By the way, there are both male and female waiters inside, all of them are talented.
Modern girls and boys love to drink milk tea, but in ancient times, there were more girls.
Arrange a sunny and handsome male shopkeeper, and girls will come to have a drink even if they are not greedy.
Jiang Youning took the milk tea, and it must be said that she was a little greedy for milk tea.
After finishing her milk tea, Jiang Youning left the milk tea shop and planned to go to Sui Sui Ruyi.
On the way, she met Xiao Yu, whom she hadn't seen for a long time. He had just come out of the hot pot restaurant, holding a folding fan in his hand. His usually smiling peach blossom eyes were now without a smile. Xiao Yu
also saw Jiang Youning and strode over, "Ning'er, what a coincidence." Jiang Youning
looked at Xiao Yu's smiling peach blossom eyes, glanced behind him, and found that he was often alone, without an entourage.
"What are you busy with these days?"
Xiao Yu sighed, and said with a sense of despair, "I just ran away from marriage and was tricked by my mother to come back."
The last sentence was emphasized.
Jiang Youning looked at Xiao Yu up and down. Although he was a few centimeters shorter than Xie Jing, he was still a 17-year-old boy.
"Why do you want to run away?"
Xiao Yu said, "My father wants me to marry a woman he has never met. Do I look like someone who needs a wife? Of course I have to run away."
Xiao Yu felt that if he wanted to hide, no one would be able to find him.
But he had a mother who was good at acting.
Or he was too filial.
Jiang Youning understood that Xiao Yu was dissatisfied with the arranged marriage.
"Then how did your mother trick you back? Did she pretend to be sick?"
Xiao Yu snorted, "You can see that you have never seen the world. Pretending to be sick is out of date."
Jiang Youning: "..." Out of date? Isn't this a trick that the elders often use?
"My mother spread the news that she was pregnant with a second child. The eldest son was disobedient and planned to practice trumpet, so she didn't care about me."
When Xiao Yu heard the news, he didn't doubt it at all, because his parents had always been preparing for a second child. Isn't it normal to have a second child?
He thought it was normal to have a third child.
Then he ran back happily.
Jiang Youning asked, "Then what?"
Xiao Yu spread his hands, "Then I came back."
Jiang Youning wanted to laugh, but seeing Xiao Yu's miserable face, he held back.
"It's okay, at worst I'll run away again."
Xiao Yu snorted, "I won't run away. I want to know what kind of beauty my father has arranged for me."
Jiang Youning nodded in agreement, "You can take a look first, maybe it's the type you like?"
Xiao Yu didn't hold this hope, and was lucky to be scared by him.
Otherwise, why would they be engaged when they were young?
Isn't it because they are afraid of not being able to get married, so they decide first?
"I just came back and heard that Brother Xie went to war, and you will be alone again."
Jiang Youning: "..." What are you talking about?
"Ning'er, there will be a blind date tomorrow, you will go with me." For Xiao Yu, it is a blind date. If he really likes the girl at first sight, he will marry her.
If he doesn't like her, he would rather die than give in!
Jiang Youning said: "No problem, I'm free these two days, you just take care of the food and drink."
Food and drink are not a problem for Xiao Yu. The key is that he has to prepare for both situations.
"You will wear men's clothes tomorrow."
Jiang Youning asked in confusion, "Why?"
Xiao Yu whispered in her ear, "If I don't despise you, you can pretend to be my lover to scare her away."
Jiang Youning raised her head and looked at the harmless Xiao Yu. She didn't expect him to be a sesame-filled guy who was not afraid of scaring the girl sick.
"Aren't you afraid that everyone in Jinling will know that the young master of Prince Jing is a traitor the next day?"
Xiao Yu said nonchalantly, "What's there to be afraid of?"
Jiang Youning thought about it and felt that it was right. Xiao Yu was a famous playboy in Jinling and was not afraid of anything.
The next day, Jiang Youning wore men's clothes and took a carriage to Prince Jing's mansion.
Jiang Youning had been here once and was somewhat familiar with Prince Jing's mansion.
Xiao Yu was waiting at the door. When he saw her coming, he immediately took her to the back garden.
"That woman has come, and is now by the lotus pond in the back garden."
Jiang Youning corrected, "She is still a girl, it is not right for you to call her that."
Xiao Yuwen paused for a moment. Although he disliked child marriage, it was indeed wrong to say that.
"This is my character setting in Jinling, it cannot be destroyed."
Jiang Youning felt that Xiao Yu was more modern than her~
Xiao Yu brought Jiang Youning to the back garden and hid behind the rockery.
Next to the lotus pond stood a young girl in a lake green dress, with a maidservant serving beside her.
Xiao Yu stared at the lake green figure for a while. She was wearing a white face scarf and her appearance could not be seen.
"Why are you wearing a face scarf?"
Jiang Youning just looked at the figure and thought it was not bad, at least she had a good figure and was graceful.
"She shouldn't be ugly."
Xiao Yu retracted his gaze and looked at Jiang Youning, "How do you know she's not ugly?"
Jiang Youning pointed at the girl and said, "Do you see that her neck is very white? That means her skin is as white as snow. A white complexion can cover up three uglinesses.
She should be good-looking." Xiao Yu: "What you said makes some sense. Let's go and take a look."
Jiang Youning followed Xiao Yu out of the rockery, tidied up her clothes tacitly, and walked over with a folding fan in hand.
When he walked in front of the girl, Xiao Yu bowed.
Jiang Youning also bowed.
Xiao Yu stared at the woman for a while. It is undeniable that her skin is very white and her exposed eyes are also very beautiful.
"Are you Miss Chu, my childhood sweetheart?"
Chu Qing bowed, "Little Master, I am."
Xiao Yu and Jiang Youning looked at each other and both thought the voice was very nice.
He retracted his gaze and looked at Chu Qing, "Why do you wear a face scarf? Are you too ugly to be seen in public?"
Jiang Youning nudged Xiao Yu with his elbow to remind him to use words.
Chu Qing looked at Xiao Yu with cold eyes, "What do you mean, young master?"
Xiao Yu explained, "I spoke too quickly, Miss Chu, please don't blame me. What I mean is, Miss Chu, do you have something to hide?"
When Xiao Yu said this, he stared at the face scarf on her cheek.
Chu Qing said, "Young master is smart, I do have something to hide. I have freckles on my cheeks since I was a child, so I have been wearing a face scarf."
Xiao Yu looked at Jiang Youning, see, wearing a face scarf is to cover up ugliness.
Jiang Youning smiled and said, "Miss Chu, can you take off your veil and take a look? The young master doesn't care about appearance."
Xiao Yu was about to retort, but was stepped on by Jiang Youning.
Who said he doesn't care about appearance?
Who likes ugly women?
Chu Qing looked at the two people in front of her and hesitated for a while, "Okay."
She said, and her hand went above her cheek.
Jiang Youning and Xiao Yu stared at Chu Qing's face, curious about what a pockmarked face looked like.
Chu Qing slowly took off the veil on her cheek, exposing her entire face to the air.
Xiao Yu stared at Chu Qing's cheek without blinking, and found that her skin was white, but there were too many pockmarks on her cheeks, as if they were sprinkled with sesame seeds.
People say cherry lips are small, but she has a big mouth, right?
He said in disgust in his heart, so ugly.
Jiang Youning is a person with claustrophobia, and she almost fainted when she saw it for the first time.
Who has freckles all over the face?
And this mouth, is it an allergy? Is it swollen like a sausage?
Xiao Yu and Jiang Youning looked at each other and said, ugly, a little ugly.
Chu Qing knew she was ugly by looking at the expressions of the two people in front of her~
"I scared you." Chu Qing said, putting on the mask again.
Jiang Youning felt that her facial features were given by her parents, and she had no say in them. It was not modern times, and she could not have plastic surgery.
"Miss Chu, you misunderstood. We were not scared, but we felt a little sorry."
Xiao Yu grabbed Jiang Youning's arm and pulled her over, putting his hand on her shoulder. The two of them were very close.
Jiang Youning was frozen and did not move, knowing that Xiao Yu wanted to scare her away.
What a sin!
When Xiao Yu looked at Chu Qing, he was a little frivolous. "What do you think about the child marriage?"
Chu Qing was stunned when she saw Xiao Yu putting his arm around another man's shoulder. Then he lowered his eyelids and said sadly, "I know I am ugly and not worthy of the young master. It is better to call it quits."
Xiao Yu was waiting for this sentence. "You said that our child marriage is called off."
Chu Qing said, "Young master, you..."
Xiao Yu sighed, "To be honest, I actually like men. It's not because you are ugly. No matter how beautiful you are, I still like men."
"I understand." Chu Qing said, and walked away without looking back.
Xiao Yu watched the master and servant walk away, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"This ugliness can affect my appetite."
Jiang Youning originally wanted to persuade Xiao Yu to be kinder, but Miss Chu was indeed a little bit that, so it would be better not to say it to her face.
Xiao Yu retracted her gaze and looked at Jiang Youning, "Let's go, let's go drink milk tea, the new milk tea shop tastes good."
Jiang Youning had this in mind.
Princess Jing was drinking tea while waiting for the two to meet, but before she finished a cup of tea, she saw Chu Qing coming over.
She quickly put down the teacup in her hand and came up with a smile, "Qing'er, how is it? My son is pretty good-looking, right?"
Chu Qing said softly, "Princess Jing, the young master is as handsome as the princess, but..."
Princess Jing pressed on, "But what?"
Chu Qing said, "It's just that the young master's looks and temperament are everything top-notch, and I know I'm not worthy of him."
Princess Jing laughed when she heard that, "Well, I thought it was nothing. I think you two are a good match. Don't look at my son's good-looking appearance. He is just like that, like his father. After getting married, he will become stable."
Princess Jing knew her son too well. He had a reputation as a playboy and wandered around like a wandering soul every day.
The only serious thing he did was to open a hot pot restaurant, earn some money, and not lose his wife.
Miss Chu Qing must have heard about her son's deeds and was afraid to marry, so she found such a reason.
Chu Qing was stunned when she heard it. Who said this about her son?
Prince Jing, who was sitting on the side, was innocently accused. He looked at the princess and said, "Just talk about your son. Why are you talking about me?
I am a romantic man. How is my son different from me?"
Chu Qing originally planned to cancel the engagement, but the tone of Princess Jing's voice made her not want to cancel it at all.
The next day, Xiao Yu came to find Jiang Youning.
"Why is there no movement at all? It's so strange."
Jiang Youning was feeling sleepy. Looking at Xiao Yu who was puzzled, he asked quietly, "What movement do you want?"
Xiao Yu said, "Didn't I tell Chu Qing yesterday that I like men? It's already afternoon and there's no disturbance outside. Not only that, there's no movement from my parents either. It's so strange."
Jiang Youning thought for a while with his tired mind, "Maybe Miss Chu Qing didn't tell her?"
"Impossible." Xiao Yu said with certainty, "Chu Qing knew that I like men, and her face turned green."
Jiang Youning asked, "Really? Why didn't I see it?"
Xiao Yu said, "I saw it."
Jiang Youning: "..." Okay!
Xiao Yu continued, "Chu Qing is a girl from a respectable family. She must hate such a pervert. She can't wait to use this as an excuse to cancel the engagement. There's no way she wouldn't tell anyone. Tell people outside that the problem is with me, not her."
Jiang Youning nodded, "Your analysis makes sense."
Xiao Yu pondered for a moment and said, "I guess the news hasn't spread yet. Let's wait and see tomorrow."
Jiang Youning: "...Are you eager for everyone in Jinling to know that you like men?"
Xiao Yu asked, "Why do you say that?"
Jiang Youning glanced up and down, "Look how excited you are."
Xiao Yu's peach blossom eyes curved, "You saw through it."
Jiang Youning: "..."
I'm not afraid of not being able to get a wife in the future.
Xiao Yu sighed, "If everyone in the city knew about this, my mother would completely give up my trumpet and let her give birth to a second child and practice the trumpet."
Jiang Youning's eyes widened. It turned out that Xiao Yu was thinking this way.
Two days had passed since Du Huilan copied the Buddhist scriptures.
"Chun Tao, go and see if the second lady's Buddhist scriptures are super good."
"I'll go right away." Chun Tao put down the work in her hands and trotted out.
Du Huilan didn't take this matter to heart at all, so naturally she didn't copy it.
When Chun Tao came to ask, Du Huilan snorted, "I didn't copy the Buddhist scriptures, what can she do to me?"
Chun Tao looked at Du Huilan's arrogant look and said, "Then I can only go back and tell the lady."
Du Huilan didn't care.
Jiang Youning learned from Chuntao that Du Huilan did not copy, and she knew that Du Huilai did not take her seriously.
Chuntao said angrily: "Miss, she must be punished this time, otherwise you will have no power of intimidation in the general's mansion in the future, and the servants will also neglect you."
Good morning, babies!
