Pastoral Bamboo Fragrance

Chapter 269: Self-recommendation (2)
"I've inquired about it." Ning Xi didn't stop walking.

"He is so poor that he can't even pay for his meals on credit." Li Zhu reminded again, would such a poor person want to play with him?
Ning Ximai stopped abruptly, and said helplessly, "Could it be that in your eyes, I am not only robbery but robbery of wealth?"

Li Zhu blurted out: "Are you doing something else?"

Ning Ximai stared at Li Zhu for a while, but said nothing.

Li Zhu had no choice but to repeat: "My family doesn't know either, so it's useless for you to ask."

Ning Xi took a few steps to the gate of the Yang Family Courtyard. When Aunt Li heard the movement, she opened the door and saw that the person was a handsome young man. She politely asked, "Young man, who are you looking for?"

Ning Ximai said politely: "You are Aunt Yang, right? I am a friend of Jiang Jinglei, and I have heard him mention your family before."

As soon as Aunt Li heard that she was Jiang Jinglei's friend, she immediately warmed up and let him into the room with a smile.

Li Zhu said: "Auntie, he is not—"

Ning Ximai glanced at Li Zhu, and there was a hint of warning in his eyes.Li Zhu had no choice but to swallow his words temporarily.

Aunt Li welcomed him into the main room, and then went to make tea and snacks.

After serving the refreshments, the two exchanged a few words and talked for a while, and Aunt Li's habit broke out again.So he smiled and asked, "Young man, how old are you this year? What's your name? Where do you live? What do you do for a living?"

Li Zhu was sweating, thinking that the aunt might have been thinking about her son-in-law recently, and she asked a young man.If she could, she would really like to tell this person's real occupation.

Ning Ximai picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, and answered one by one: "The junior is called Mai Xining. He is 19 years old this year and lives near Nanwu Mountain. He used to be a farmer and student, but now he does some small business."

Aunt Li smiled and said, "Hey, your surname is quite rare. I don't know if you sell pigs or wheat?"

"Wheat of wheat."

"...You are so old, you should get married, right?"

"When my grandfather was alive, he made a baby marriage, but later the family fell into poverty. The woman disliked my family's poverty, resigned from the marriage, and found another high school."

Aunt Li felt deeply about this. She patted her thigh and sighed: "You don't want to be such a snobbish girl. Don't be sad. Seeing that you are so energetic and talented, you still worry that you won't be able to marry a wife."

"It's not sad at all, and I didn't like it at all."

The two chatted for a while, and Ning Ximai finally got to the point, and asked Aunt Li about the whereabouts of Jiang Jinglei.

"Aunt Yang, I haven't been able to find Big Brother Jiang these days, and I'm anxious. Does Auntie know where he is?"

"Auntie, the tea is gone." Li Zhu interrupted suddenly, she always felt that this surnamed Ning would have nothing good to do with Jiang Jinglei.

Aunt Li ordered Li Zhu to say, "Go to the kitchen and pour another bowl, I'll talk to the guests."

Li Zhu stood still, looked at Ning Ximai and said, "Mr. Mai, how did you meet Brother Jiang? How is his family going?"

Ning Ximai stared at Li Zhu with those deep eyes, and said slowly, "I don't know each other. His parents are very nice, but they still love to urge him to get married as before."

Aunt Li immediately interjected, "Boys should get married and girls should get married. There is no need for parents. You sons and daughters always don't understand the painstaking efforts of parents."

Li Zhu looked at Ning Ximai and asked, "I don't know if Mr. Mai's parents are urging you to get married?"
