Chapter 225 Daughter's Thoughts
Luo Jiaxing naturally had no idea what Zhong Min meant by surprise. He paused, turned back, and smiled cheerfully. Perhaps, maintaining a friendship like this for a lifetime would be a good choice. He said nothing more, only nodded slightly, turned, and left again.
Zhong Min naturally had no idea what Luo Jiaxing was thinking. At this moment, she was still thinking about how to bring up Xier's matter with Luo Jiaxing. Zhong Min had always known Xier's thoughts, but she didn't know what Luo Jiaxing was thinking.
Although she also knew that according to the standards of this era such as identity and family background, Xier was definitely not worthy of Luo Jiaxing, but in Zhong Min's view, these were the most meaningless things.
Xi'er was quite good-looking, very pretty, and had a good temper. She should be the typical good wife and mother in the future. Besides, she was completely devoted to Luo Jiaxing. If Luo Jiaxing was also interested, that would be great. Of course, the most important point was that Zhong Min had heard Xi'er talk about her thoughts. After all, Xi'er had a different education from her. Xi'er was willing to accept three wives and four concubines and was willing to be a concubine. Even if Luo Jiaxing couldn't marry Xi'er as his principal wife, it didn't matter too much.
Although Zhong Min herself cannot accept such an idea, she does not ask other women in the world to be like her. Since they accept these in their cognition, their world view and their values, why shouldn't she help?
If Xier were to rely on herself, she would probably only dare to keep her love to herself for the rest of her life, and would never have the chance or courage to tell Luo Jiaxing. So, for Xier's happiness, she was very willing to play matchmaker and help Xier break the window paper to Luo Jiaxing. Maybe after the matter was revealed, there would be unexpected results!
Zhong Min returned to her residence with great joy. Xier and Chuer were there at the moment. When they saw her coming back, they immediately came forward to greet her.
"Alright, alright, stop it. I'm not a three-year-old. I can find a place to sit on my own." Zhong Min laughed and joked with the two of them, "Don't be so polite all the time. You know my temper. I'm really tired of you always asking me to talk."
After hearing this, the two of them immediately noticed that Zhong Min was in a good mood. They thought that going to Mo Garden just now should not be a bad thing.
Chu'er was never talkative, but Xi'er, firstly because she was no longer a maid and secondly because she liked to mind Zhong Min's affairs, immediately asked, "What's the matter? You seem to be in a good mood. Did Uncle Li give you something good?"
"You want to know? I won't tell you!" Zhong Min teased Xi'er. As he spoke, he snatched the almost-finished handkerchief from Xi'er's hands and said, "Look at the craftsmanship. It's obvious that she put a lot of thought into it. It's the perfect gift for someone you love."
"Hate it, what are you talking about? Stop joking with me like this, or I'll get really angry!" Xier reached out and snatched it back, checking it carefully while speaking, as if she was afraid that it would be wrinkled or damaged.
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell there was something wrong. To say that she put a lot of thought into it was an understatement. It would not be an exaggeration to say that she wanted to embroider all the hearts on it.
Chu Er watched intently from the sidelines. Although she didn't say anything, she couldn't help but smile. She could see through Xi Er's thoughts, let alone Zhong Min's. However, she wasn't optimistic. There were some things Zhong Min probably hadn't even considered. He could see clearly in others, but could easily become confused when it came to himself.
Seeing Xi'er was stubborn and stubborn, Zhong Min didn't care. He deliberately smiled exaggeratedly and said to Chu'er beside him, "Chu'er, do you know who I met on the way back from Mo Garden today?"
"I don't know who the young lady met." Chu'er knew that Zhong Min was saying this on purpose for Xi'er to hear, so she asked cooperatively, and a very curious expression appeared on her face.
Seeing Chu'er so understanding, Zhong Min was even more delighted. She glanced at Xi'er again and saw her staring at her with curiosity, waiting for her next words. A strong sense of gossip was spreading freely in the air. As expected, curiosity has always been the greatest human instinct, from ancient times to the present.
But this time, Zhong Min was in no hurry to say it out loud, especially not to Xier in person. Instead, he waved to Chuer to come over, and then whispered something in Chuer's ear, just not letting Xier get what she wanted.
Seeing this, Xi'er knew immediately that Zhong Min was doing this on purpose, so she simply pretended to be indifferent and sat aside to continue embroidering her handkerchief. However, she was still feeling a strange itch inside. Even though she knew Zhong Min was doing it on purpose, she couldn't help but feel curious.
She secretly glanced at Zhong Min and Chu Er, and saw that the two of them were talking and laughing. Xi Er couldn't help it. After thinking for a while, she put down the things in her hands, walked over and said with a smile: "Good Min Er, don't tease me on purpose. You know I am the most curious person. You even whispered to Chu Er at the same time, making me feel itchy. Well, tell me quickly, who did you meet when you came back just now? You look so excited. Who did you meet? Come on!"
Seeing that Xi'er finally couldn't pretend not to be curious anymore, Zhong Min burst into laughter and said, "Xi'er, I didn't mean to tease you. You didn't ask at first, and I thought you didn't want to know, so I only told the curious Chu'er. Who knew you were pretending all along? If you had asked earlier, wouldn't I have told you earlier?"
"Alright, alright, just talk about something else. Just tell me, I really admire you!" Xier was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. She had known for a long time that Zhong Min was full of evil intentions, but she didn't expect that he would deliberately plot against her now.
"Alright, since you want to know, it's no harm in telling you. He happens to be someone you're interested in anyway." Zhong Min didn't beat around the bush and said to Xier with a smile, "I just ran into Brother Luo on my way back. He was coming to get something from the Moyuan Study for the prince, and we just happened to run into each other."
"It's him!" Xi'er said expectantly upon hearing this: "What did you say? You look so happy, is there something good?"
"Yes, there is a good news, but it has little to do with me. Do you want to know?" Zhong Min chuckled again, wondering how Xier would react if she knew that he was going to be a matchmaker for her.
"Min'er, just say it all at once. If you keep going like this, I'll be really angry!" Xi'er was really exhausted by Zhong Min. It was obvious that what Zhong Min wanted to say must be related to Luo Jiaxing. How could she not want to know?
Seeing Xier getting anxious so quickly, Zhong Min was even more amused. However, he couldn't keep teasing her like this, otherwise he would really make the girl angry, and he would be in trouble in the future.
"Okay, I'll stop teasing you. I ran into Brother Luo earlier, but he was busy with work, so we didn't talk much. But we agreed that in a few days, when he's free, we'll go to that tavern we went to last time to taste osmanthus wine again." Zhong Min took Xier's hand and said, "Don't worry, I won't forget to take you with me this time. Besides, you're no longer a maid in Prince Mu's mansion, but my friend, so you don't have to be shy about anything and can drink at the same table with Brother Luo. How about it, are you happy to hear that?"
"What a mess! What do you mean? I, I won't talk to you anymore. You always make fun of me. I'm ignoring you!" Xi'er's heart was in turmoil and her face flushed. "Also, don't talk nonsense like that in the future, especially in front of General Luo. Don't say anything like you did today, or else people will misunderstand you."
The meaning of Zhong Min's words was obvious. Anyone who heard it would understand that she liked Luo Jiaxing. How could Xier possibly face this completely calmly?
However, having said that, she was naturally looking forward to what Zhong Min said. Not to mention sitting at the same table with Luo Jiaxing, even if she could just go over and take a few more glances at him that day, she would be very happy.
She knew Zhong Min had always known what she was thinking, so she wasn't really angry with her. It was just that she felt a little embarrassed to reveal such a thing in front of others. Besides, Luo Jiaxing was not an ordinary person, and she knew her own limitations. How could she dare to admit anything in public?
After hearing Xier's words, Zhong Min became more serious. He shook his head and said to Xier, "Xier, you are good in every way except that you are timid. In fact, Brother Luo is a snobbish person. I believe that if he really likes someone, he will definitely not care about status and family background. You are a good girl, don't always look down on yourself. There is nothing wrong with liking someone. Whether they accept it or not is their business, but there is nothing to be embarrassed about liking someone. If you find an opportunity and can bravely express what is in your heart, perhaps even the most difficult things will have a chance to turn around. But if you say nothing and keep everything in your heart, then even if you really have the opportunity, I am afraid you will waste it."
Zhong Min spoke a lot in one breath. Seeing Xier's hesitation and embarrassment, he simply didn't hold back and expressed his previous thoughts. "Don't worry, I won't sit idly by and watch your matter go by. When I see Brother Luo in a few days, I'll find a chance to bring up your matter. However, I can't guarantee whether it will be successful by then. After all, in matters like this, outsiders can only act as matchmakers. The rest depends on your own destiny."
