Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 93 If It's You ([-]rd)

On the other side, the person hiding in the grass turned around from behind the grass when they saw the two leaving.

The old lady sneered, despising her son, "I see how the girl wants to distance herself from him everywhere, does this mean that she doesn't like him?"

Xi Yu nodded in agreement, and secretly slandered, you didn't see Miss Caiji's expression before getting into the carriage, I thought she was grinding her teeth...

There are also those who disagree, "Why do I think it's quite interesting? If it's really not interesting, I don't have the slightest thought, and I would have left long ago. With that kid's strength... can he really hold a person?"

"It seems to be the same..." The old lady nodded, but she felt unreliable, and shook her head immediately, "No, I think this girl is very good, the brat can't coax the girl, the old lady will do it myself! By the way, Xi Yu , does that girl still live in Fengchenju now? Isn’t it inconvenient for us to go there every now and then? Or, buy a house for us?”

"Yes, yes, yes! It also appears to be sincere!"

Looking at the two elders who hit it off, Xi Yu was somewhat hesitant, "Actually, there is no need, Miss Ji has her own house..."

"My own house? How long has the little girl been in Yanjing City? What kind of house can she afford? The location is not good, and the environment is noisy, right? It's not safe to be crowded in such a mess..."

Xi Yu lowered his head and ground his toes, wanting to say that it is extremely safe. So far, the master has not dared to visit at night in person. He found Ruoshui to go in first to test the water, for fear of losing someone inside. We will meet again later. Awkward……

He didn't dare to say these things, but if he didn't say anything, it seemed that he couldn't handle it. He had no choice but to grit his teeth and ask the truth, "Miss Ji lives in the eastern suburbs..."

"Eastern Suburb?" Before the old lady could react, the Duke quickly thought of it, "There are only a few houses in the Eastern Suburb, and they are all in the hands of the rich and powerful. Who would sell those few houses...you says?"

A while ago, I seem to have heard Ning Xiuyuan say that His Majesty allocated it, and holding it in your hand is like a sweet potato that is not too hot, but it is tasteless to eat, and it is a pity to throw it away. It is better to sell... sell... sold? !

"Xi Yu, tell me the truth, he won't really take money from other girls, right?!"

Xi Yu already had the calmness of a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water. He said "um" in a low voice, and then explained weakly, "At that time, the master didn't know that the opposite was Miss Ji..."

No one believed him.

The Duke's face darkened, "Damn boy! You really took the girl's money! Is he short of such a little money? Fortunately, he has a good temper and doesn't care about him. If it were my words, he would have run away!"

This time, everyone nodded silently.

Jiang shi was dumbfounded when she heard it.At that time, Xindao felt that the girl was a bit cold-tempered, and she was afraid that she was not easy to get along with, but now it seems that she is not easy to get along with... She is so easy to talk to!
As for Xi Yu's weak refutation and proof, no one believed it.After all, who is Ning Xiuyuan? There are very few things about the Imperial Study that he doesn't know. Does he know who wants to buy his house?joke!

……

Ning Xiuyuan didn't know the accusations these people made against him behind his back. He walked with Ji Wuyan on the road that he had gone back and forth countless times, but he felt a different mood, a kind... as if he could stop and take a look The mood of the scenery that is ignored on weekdays.

Ji Wuyan was still a little confused, "There were so many girls at the time, why did they think it was me?"

"Maybe it's because..." As the words came to my lips, I suddenly remembered the stunning face that caught my eyes when the veil was raised. I was slightly stunned, my eyes fell on her face involuntarily, and I rubbed it with my fingertips subconsciously, and then said nothing. Changed the subject, and gave a random reason, "I heard from Xi Yu that all the girls in Yanjing who are of the right age have their portraits sent by their mothers. Maybe Miss Shen is among them." .”

Getting the ground is like choosing a concubine.

However, it is not difficult to understand, after all, the status, power, glory and wealth represented by the young lady of the Ningguo government are no less than that of the more favored concubines in the harem, not to mention that the old lady's thoughts are placed there in a fair and aboveboard manner Yes, even if she doesn't ask the matchmaker for a portrait, the girl's family will try their best to give the matchmaker a favor, thinking that someone will send her daughter's portrait to Duke Ning's mansion.

Ji Wuyan tilted her head and joked with a smile, "Haven't you seen those portraits?"

"No..." Ning Xiuyuan lowered his head in denial, and just met the other party's eyes, and was stunned for a moment.It is rare for a girl to smile like this, and the dark pupils seem to be filled with the brilliance of the entire starry sky.The sunlight hit her eyes, and she could vaguely see her own reflection. Ning Xiuyuan suddenly felt that even the best painter in the world would not be able to draw such a pair of eyes.

He didn't hear what the other party said, "What?"

His absence was not obvious, at least Ji Wuyan didn't notice it, she just laughed and gossiped, "The dignified third master of the Ning family, he didn't even want to see a girl in his weak crown, I don't know how many girls' hearts will be chilled. "

"If you..." blurted out the words, but stopped abruptly.

Ji Wuyan didn't understand, "What?"

Ning Xiuyuan suddenly turned around, turned around and strode towards the gate, almost fleeing, "I remembered something, I can't go shopping with you today, I'll take you out first."

Ji Wuyan was a little surprised, but he didn't think about it. After all, it's normal. The emperor Ning Xiuyuan is not a second generation who is doing nothing. She nodded and said hello, and quickly followed. Something is wrong, this step...is it too big, she can't trot all the way, right?
"Third Master." She called, "If Third Master is in a hurry, you don't have to send it to me in person, just find a servant to take it down the road."

Only then did Ning Xiuyuan realize that he was walking too fast, so he slowed down, but he was no longer as relaxed as before.

There was some silence, and the atmosphere that had been gradually warming up just now returned to the beginning.Ji Wuyan thought he was thinking about something, so he didn't say a word, for fear of disturbing the other party.

All the way to the door.

The carriage had already been waiting at the side, and the driver was waiting in the carriage. When he saw Ji Wuyan, he stepped forward to salute, "Miss Ji, the old lady asked the old slave to wait here and send the girl back. The old lady said that there are some small things in the carriage." , It’s for the girl to play with. Some nourishing medicinal materials, the girl is young and doesn’t need it, so she will give it to relatives in Jiangnan, and the girl will arrange it herself after returning home.”

"This..." Ji Wuyan was not willing to accept it, but the old lady was taking a nap, so she didn't want to disturb her, so she went to see Ning Xiuyuan, "Third Master, I can't accept this."
