Ouyang Mingxi raised his lips slightly, as if smiling. He thought this woman was testing him. He said, "No one has ever dared to bargain with me. Besides, what I want, is there anything I can't ask for?"
Jia Qinshuang instinctively took a step back and said, "My Lord, please don't break my oath to my mother."
"There are only you and me here. If neither of us tells anyone, who would know?" Ouyang Mingxi asked her back.
"The gods of heaven and earth are watching." Jia Qinshuang was a little angry. She felt that the eldest master was rude. Since he had no intention of marrying her, why did he come here by himself, not to mention breaking her oath.
"All oaths are false. What will happen if you take a look?" Ouyang Mingxi said as he drew out the soft sword from his waist and directly picked off the veil on Jia Qinshuang's face.
Jia Qinshuang was stunned. She looked at Ouyang Mingxi in surprise.
Although Ouyang Mingxi did not show any surprise, he had to admit that this woman was beautiful. Her eyebrows were as beautiful as picturesque, and her pair of clever and watery eyes seemed to be able to speak. It would be difficult to find another woman with the same appearance as her.
Jia Qinshuang frowned.
Her frown also moved Ouyang Mingxi's heart. He used his sword to pick up the veil on the ground and brought it to Jia Qinshuang, saying to her, "Put it on."
"The eldest son should marry me." Jia Qinshuang was also a strong-willed woman. She thought she had just made it clear to him, and since he had seen it, he should take responsibility.
Ouyang Ming raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Don't you like my third brother? Otherwise, why did you enter the palace to be selected?"
"But since the eldest master has seen my face, I have no choice but to marry him." Jia Qinshuang insisted.
Ouyang Mingxi chuckled and asked her, "Do you want to marry me, or do you want to die?"
Jia Qinshuang was shocked and immediately put on her veil and asked, "Should I go back to my original place and continue to strive to be the third young master's tutor?"
"You are worthy of being my third brother." Ouyang Mingxi said as he glanced at her, knowing that she was staring at him.
Jia Qinshuang felt mixed emotions. She actually wanted to make some more efforts and wanted to marry the eldest son even more.
At this time, Ouyang Mingxi said coldly: "Get out."
Jia Qinshuang had no choice but to turn around and leave. She was not convinced, but there was nothing she could do so she had to keep the matter secret. But she changed her mind and felt relieved. She remembered what Ouyang Mingxi had just said, that she was worthy of Ouyang Beifeng, which naturally meant that he had chosen her, and she felt relieved again.
On the other side, An Yan and Li Rongsen have also returned to West City.
As soon as the old man saw them coming back, he hurried to prepare dinner and said, "Why did you take so long to come back? But it's just in time. We can have dinner right away."
"Let's go out for a walk." An Yan said to him, and then went into the bathroom to wash her hands.
The old man pulled Li Rongsen and asked, "Mr. Li, where did you go to play?"
"I went to Haiguo." Li Rongsen told him the truth.
"Why did you think of going over there? Nothing happened, right? After all, it's not our territory." The old man frowned.
"Nothing happened, it's just that a lot of people were staring at her. They have no manners at all." Li Rongsen was really angry, and went back to his room to wash his hands.
The old man didn't think much of it, thinking that it was just Li Rongsen who was jealous. Fortunately, he was an old man and was familiar with him, otherwise he would have to be on guard against him.
Yan Qingqiu walked in from outside and asked, "When can we have dinner? I'm really starving."
"I'll ask them to come over and serve the dishes in a moment." The old man glanced at him and said, "All you do all day is eat. Don't you have anything else to do?"
"What you said is very unfair. Didn't you just go to the other side of the river to help?" Yan Qingqiu snorted at him in annoyance.
The old man said nothing more, and only told the servants to set out the dishes one by one. Then An Yan came out from the inner room and said, "There are so many dishes. Where are Meidie and Beifeng? Call them to come and eat."
"They are working on the ballots," the old man told her, and then added, "We went to the other side of the river again today. Let them write down all the votes, and don't miss any."
An Yan nodded, and saw Li Rongsen walk into the room and motion for him to sit down. Following behind him were Mei Die and Bei Feng.
Meidie said: "Why did you come back so late?"
"I went out for a walk for a while. I'll tell you after dinner." An Yan motioned for them to sit down and eat first. She didn't want to talk about selecting a tutor for the Third Young Master while eating, for fear that Mei Die would not have a good meal.
Li Rongsen naturally understood what she meant, so he didn't say anything.
The food has been served, the table is full.
An Yan asked the old man: "Have you eaten?"
"I've already eaten." The old man replied, and then said, "I'm going back now, you guys take your time eating."
"Why does the old man never eat with us?" Mei Die was a little curious. She felt that someone of his status should stay and eat with us.
Li Rongsen said: "I asked him too, and he said that this is not okay. He is the chief steward of West City, and it is not reasonable for a steward to eat at the table."
"What kind of nonsense is this?" Meidie was very disdainful of this matter.
An Yan had told him countless times, but he never listened. She only said to them, "Eat, follow his wishes, and slowly make him change."
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Meidie asked: "How is it there?"
"Grandma was poisoned by a Gu. Luckily I brought Xiao Hei with me. It's not very difficult to cure. I left a lot of medicine with her. There's no problem." An Yan replied while eating.
Li Rongsen said: "When I have time, I'll go over and see them."
"Yes, bring some food to her to help her replenish her body." An Yan nodded.
Meidie said, "Can't they just come and live here? They always have to move around. Why don't you let them come and play for a couple of days? Don't always go there by yourself. You'll be busy all day."
"I agree with that." Li Rongsen agreed, and continued, "We'll send a car to pick them up."
An Yan didn't say anything. She asked Bei Feng, "What do they say in Hedao? Who do they want to be the boss?"
"The nobles in the city, of course, want to be the boss, but the common people in the city don't think so," Bei Feng told her.
"Let's listen to the opinions of the people. Who did they choose?" An Yan asked.
"They want you to host it yourself." Mei Die said to An Yan with a smile, and then said, "I said it probably won't work, so they asked you to choose someone who is more reliable than those people in the city."
"This really stumps me. Who should I look for?" An Yan frowned.
Li Rongsen also thought about it carefully, and then said: "Let's not think about it now, let the old man give us some advice, let's eat first, don't think so hard while eating, I'm afraid you won't be able to digest it."
Meidie immediately started to laugh at him, saying, "Mr. Li, I just discovered today that you have a new attribute."
"What new attributes?" Li Rongsen asked.
"A man who dotes on his wife." Meidie laughed.
Yan Qingqiu didn't agree and said, "You are such a jerk. When has he ever stopped being like this?"
Meidie was just a joke, just to make Li Rongsen forget what happened before.
Bei Feng quickly took over the conversation and said, "Then I have to learn from Mr. Li. I also want to have this attribute."
Meidie blushed and sneered at Beifeng: "What do you want to learn?"
An Yan looked at Mei Die and Bei Feng's faces, wondering how to tell them about the things in Haiguo later, or just tell Bei Feng secretly.
Li Rongsen looked at An Yan and didn't intend to speak first. He wanted to listen to her opinions.
