Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 491 Brother Qi, Do You Hate Me?
Hearing that there was another young lady, Qi Muyuan frowned.But he didn't know what he thought of, so he stood up immediately and asked, "In the front hall?"

"Yes, master." Seeing Qi Muyuan walking outside, Guanqi couldn't help being a little surprised.

Today's Qi family doesn't talk about Qi Bokun, the minister of the official department who is still in power even though he has become an official, but only that his family's master is one of the six ministers in the court, and he is already a relatively top dignitary in Guangxi Province.What's more, Qi Muyuan is still so good. He took No.2 in the college examination. He is handsome and extraordinary. There are not a lot of concubines in his family.In the past two years, I don't know how many people have taken advantage of him. As long as he can establish a relationship with the Qi family, someone will visit the Qi family every now and then.Some who were willing to spare even brought their beautiful daughters here, hoping that Qi Muyuan would take a fancy to his daughter at a glance and get on the big boat of the Qi family.

Qi Muyuan has always been very annoyed by this situation.Not to mention bringing his daughter, even if he didn't bring his daughter, he wouldn't go to see her.Unless it's a friend of the Qi family's aristocratic family who can't be rejected, then go to see him.

Although Qi Bokun felt that his grandson had reached the age of marriage, he could get engaged if there was a suitable family.But he is a grandfather, so it's not easy for him to go beyond his daughter-in-law to make an engagement for his grandson, so he doesn't force Qi Mu to meet these people far away, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

Guanqi's visit today is just a routine matter. If Qi Muyuan said no, he used to just say that the young master went to the academy.Even if the guests know that this is an excuse, they have nothing to do, and they can know the Qi family's attitude from it.

But he didn't expect that today Qi Muyuan would play cards unreasonably, without even asking who the other party was, and when he heard that a young lady was brought, he would get up so straightforwardly to meet the guest, which made Guan Qi very surprised.

He always felt that something was wrong with his young master these two days.

Qi Bokun, who was sitting in the front hall waiting for guests, didn't expect his grandson to come over, he was taken aback for a moment, and then introduced him with a smile.

The visitor's surname is Su, and he is the third master of the Su family, a family of officials and eunuchs in Fucheng.Old Mrs. Su was an official in Beijing, so he knew Qi Bokun well. The two families were from the same hometown, and the Su family wanted to cling to each other, so they often communicated with each other.

Because the Su family intended to marry the Qi family, before returning from the capital, the third master Su went to the Qi family on purpose and asked Master Qi and Mrs. Qi what they wanted to bring to the father and son.When I came to the door today, it was to deliver something.

Master Su San praised Qi Muyuan a few words, then smiled and said to him: "My dog ​​Su Hao has been listening to me at home praising your poems and essays, and I admire you; my little girl Su Yue likes to compose poems, every time your poems When it came out from the academy, she was like a treasure, she recited it repeatedly, and occasionally drank two songs. So when they heard that I was going to come to Qi's mansion, the two children clamored to come, and wanted to meet the Qi family whom they had always admired. Brother, I took the liberty to bring them here. If it's convenient for you, Mu Yuan, could you tell them about your experience in writing poetry?"

All those who want to cling to the Qi family or get married with the Qi family always make such excuses when they come.Qi Bokun was worried that his grandson would be impatient, so he wanted to help Qi Muyuan to be humble. Besides, he was busy with his homework, so that he could pave the way for excuses and make the atmosphere less embarrassing.

I never thought that Qi Muyuan's expression was flat and he didn't look like he was smiling, but he agreed straight away: "Okay."

Both Qi Bokun and Guanqi were a little dumbfounded.

The two made a movement at the same time, and glanced at the young master and miss of the Su family.

This young master of the Su family, Su Hao, is only 12 years old this year, and he has not yet grown up. He is white and fat, and looks like a child; Miss Su's family is about fourteen or fifteen years old, and she looks like her younger brother. , although not as fat as my brother, but also slightly plump.Round eyes, although not very pretty, but soft and cute like a dough, quite festive.

Could it be that Qi Muyuan likes this one?
Although the official of the Su family is not big, he has a good reputation and a very upright family style, and the little girl opposite is also a good-looking baby.If Qi Muyuan likes this, it would be nice to marry the Su family.

Thinking about it, Qi Bokun said with a smile: "Since that's the case, Xiaoyuan, why don't you go for a walk in the garden with the younger brother and younger sister of the Su family, so as not to listen to us grown-ups, it's very boring."

Qi Muyuan glanced at Su Hao and Su Yue, and replied, "Okay."

Su Yue felt his gaze, lowered her head, her face turned red.But from the upturned corners of her mouth, it could be seen that she was very happy.

The chubby boy Su Hao looked at his sister, then at Qi Muyuan, he came up and grabbed Qi Muyuan's sleeve very familiarly, and said with a smile, "Brother Qi, let's go."

Qi Muyuan subconsciously wanted to pull back his sleeves, but he held back in the end.Not only did he hold back, but he also patted the little fat dumpling on the shoulder very friendly, and said, "Please."

Seeing his young master's movements, not only had he been observing Qi Muyuan watching chess, even Qi Bokun's eyes were a little strange.

Qi Muyuan has a cleanliness habit and has always disliked physical contact with people.Unless it is someone who is very familiar and very close, he will not take the initiative to get close to people.But today was uncharacteristically.

Qi Bokun beamed with joy in his heart, feeling that he was going to have a great-grandson soon, he couldn't help but keep looking at Su Yue, and his attitude towards Master Su San changed from lukewarm to really warm.

The Su family is harmonious and the population is not complicated. Su Hao and Su Yue grew up in such an environment. They have very cheerful personalities and are willing to get close to others. Along the way, the siblings chatted chirpingly, and Qi Muyuan responded with a few words from time to time. It won't be cold.

It's just that the watching chess walking behind found that at first the young master of the Su family pulled his sleeves and his arms from time to time, but his own master didn't respond, but then he seemed to be unable to bear it anymore, so he deliberately avoided it and didn't let him Su Hao touched.And that Miss Su looks as white as dough, and looks like a good baby, but she also has some scheming, when her younger brother is close to Qi Muyuan, she also intentionally goes to his side, getting closer to Qi Muyuan.

The last group of people stopped in front of a peach tree.

This is a green peach tree, grafted by Du Jinning. It blooms later than other peach trees that bloom in early spring, and the color is deep pink, very beautiful and dazzling.

Su Yue walked up to Qi Muyuan, looked at him with wide eyes and said, "Brother Qi, the peach blossoms in your house are so beautiful, can you pick one for me?"

She stood a little close, her eyes were big and round, full of expectation, her eyelashes fluttered, and she looked very innocent and cute.

Ordinary boys, seeing such a "sister", would definitely be happy to pick a flower for the younger sister.

But Qi Muyuan took a step back involuntarily, his expression became more and more pale, and he shouted: "Guanqi, come here and pick a flower for Miss Su.

The chess watcher was stunned, and he was taken aback for a moment before he realized it, and came forward to pick the flowers.

There was a trace of frustration on Su Yue's round face.She lowered her head, bit her lips, and finally couldn't help but pouted and asked, "Brother Qi, do you hate me?"

At this time, Qi Muyuan had already taken a few steps away from Su Yue by looking at the flowers. Hearing such a straightforward question, he also replied very straightforwardly: "I am cold by nature, and I treat everyone like this. .”

As he said that, he nodded: "I still have homework to do, let Guanqi accompany you in the next garden." He cupped his hands, turned and left.

Su Yue was stunned: What did she say and do wrong?

Su Hao was not reconciled, and asked Qi Muyuan loudly, "Brother Qi, can we sit in your yard for a while?"

Qi Muyuan pretended not to hear, and left quickly.

Guanqi handed the plucked flower to Su Yue, and helped to explain: "My young master never likes to be disturbed when doing homework, young master Su, Miss Su, please forgive me."

Su Yue didn't go to pick up the flower, her expression turned cold all of a sudden, and she ordered Guanqi: "We're tired too, take us back to the front hall."
