It would have been better if he didn't say anything. Once he did, Yue Chenqing became angry and anxious. It was as if his heart had been stabbed. He shouted angrily, "No! My fourth uncle is very good to me! I respect him no matter what attitude he has! It's not up to you to say that! "
"That's not what I meant …" Jiang Yexue saw that his face was red and his neck was thick. He didn't know what to do. "I just …"
"You just what! If it wasn't for you, my fourth uncle wouldn't have left! He promised to teach me how to pick spirit stones today! It's all your fault! He ran away because of you! " Yue Chenqing was obviously against Jiang Yexue. After shouting, he turned his face away and crossed his arms. He didn't want to look at this person anymore.
Jiang Yexue was undoubtedly hurt by his attitude. He forced a smile, but still tried to ease the tension between them. "Have you already started learning how to pick spirit stones?"
"Hmph!"
"This is very difficult. It really needs careful guidance. If you want, I can also …"
Yue Chenqing pouted and said, "You can't. I don't want you to teach me. You can't compare to my fourth uncle!"
Jiang Yexue didn't say anything. He lowered his eyes and said after a while, "You're right. I can't compare to Chu Yi …"
"… Hmph!"
Jiang Yexue said softly, "I'm sorry."
Yue Chenqing wasn't a bad person. In a moment of anger, he didn't choose his words carefully. After venting his anger, he calmed down a little. Hearing Jiang Yexue's moist and sad voice, Yue Chenqing probably felt that his words were a little harsh. He secretly glanced at Jiang Yexue. However, he felt disgusted and quickly looked away.
At this awkward moment, the shopkeeper came out of the inner hall with two pots of pine oil. The Yue Clan was the Sundry Goods Hall's biggest customer. He didn't have time to deliver the goods to Jiang Yexue, so he rushed towards Yue Chenqing with a flattering smile and said, "Oh, Young Master Yue. Esteemed guest, esteemed guest. Come, come, please take a seat. The things you ordered have arrived a long time ago. Please wait for a moment, I'll send someone to get them for you."
Yue Chenqing found a way out of this embarrassing situation. She didn't have to pay any more attention to Jiang Yexue, so she walked over to the counter and took out a piece of paper. She cleared her throat and said, "We'd like to add a few more things. They're all things that my father and fourth uncle have always wanted. Can you send them to my house as well?"
"Okay, okay." The shopkeeper loved this kind of customer who wanted more goods at the last minute. He immediately took the paper and glanced at it with a smile. Suddenly, his smile became somewhat sluggish.
Yue Chenqing rested her hands on the counter and found a comfortable position. She asked, "What's wrong? Is it out of stock again? "
"This …"
"Why are you always out of stock recently?" Yue Chenqing was somewhat unhappy. "Every time, I can't get everything at once. Fourth uncle thinks that I'm useless. He was already unhappy last time. If it's out of stock again today, then he …"
Just thinking about it made her hair stand on end. Yue Chenqing shivered and said,
"I think I'd better go to another store."
The shopkeeper immediately became anxious and hurriedly said, "Ah, no! Little Young Master misunderstood. We just have a few items that need to be checked. Please take a seat. We can prepare everything you need. "As she spoke, she turned her head and said," Ah Du, come over here for a moment. "
A clerk from the grocery store ran over. The shopkeeper pulled him into a dark corner and whispered something in his ear. When he came out again, he had a warm and amiable smile on his face.
"Little Young Master Yue, please go to the backyard first. If you're satisfied with the goods, I'll load them up and send them to your residence as soon as possible."
This way, he wouldn't have to stay with Jiang Yexue. Yue Chenqing didn't say anything and followed the shopkeeper to the backyard. As soon as the warm curtain fell, his figure disappeared.
This was someone else's family matter. Mo Xi didn't want to interfere. Jiang Yexue lowered his eyelashes. His thin and weak body stood inconspicuously in a corner. He tried his best to appear calm and composed, but the embarrassment and gloominess on his face couldn't be concealed no matter how hard he tried.
The shopkeeper followed Yue Chenqing. The clerk, Ah Du, came out from the inner hall with two pots of oil and handed them to Jiang Yexue. "Elder Qingxu, I'm really sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. Please take these two pots of tung oil. "
Jiang Yexue was startled. "What?"
"Two pots of tung oil. Your oil. Please take them."
Jiang Yexue said, "But I want pine oil …"
The "surprise" on Ah Du's face was extremely clumsy. He probably wasn't good at lying. Halfway through his words, his face turned red. "Is, is that so? Just now, the shopkeeper clearly said tung oil. Did I hear wrongly? "
Jiang Yexue didn't understand and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you to change it again."
Ah Du looked troubled. "Ah … you want pine oil? Today, we're all sold out. Why don't you change it another day … "
"With his legs, how many times do you want him to run?" Suddenly, a deep and cold voice interrupted him. Mo Xi walked over from behind and stared at him with an angry expression.
"Xi, Lord Xi He …"
Mo Xi's eyes were cold. He said coldly, "Did you hear wrongly, or did the Yue residence happen to need pine oil, so you sold it to him instead?"
"…" The shop assistant didn't dare to lie to Mo Xi. His face turned redder and redder, and he didn't say anything.
At this point, how could Jiang Yexue not understand? He sighed and said to Mo Xi, "Forget it. Anyway, my shop is close to here … I'll give it to Chenqing so that he won't run around. The weather is too cold. It's not easy for him to come here. Besides, I know Chu Yi's temper …"
Gu Mang looked left and right. He touched the slave lock around his neck, as if he was thinking that Jiang Yexue was a good person who helped to give him the "necklace". Then, he suddenly ran to the backyard and pulled Yue Chenqing out before anyone could stop him.
Yue Chenqing's face turned red when he was pulled by the collar of his fur coat. He coughed and said, "Ah, cough cough! What are you doing! You little turtle, let go of me! "
Gu Mang dragged him to Jiang Yexue before letting go.
Yue Chenqing rubbed his neck and said sadly, "What are you doing …"
Gu Mang copied him and said, "I want pine oil."
"You want pine oil?"
Gu Mang pointed at the embarrassed Jiang Yexue and said, "He wants it. I don't want it. "
Yue Chenqing couldn't help but look up at Jiang Yexue. But after a glance, he looked away and muttered, "No, that's what my fourth uncle wants …"
Gu Mang said, "He came first."
"…"
"The customers who came first are in front."
The shopkeeper also ran out. When he saw the situation, he was at a loss for what to do. He smiled awkwardly and didn't know what to say.
Yue Chenqing finally reacted. He wasn't an unreasonable person. He immediately turned around and stared at the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, you can't be serious, right? You already promised to sell the pine oil to him, but you're afraid that I'll leave if there's not enough, so you went back on your word? "
The shopkeeper hurriedly said, "No, no, I just misheard …"
Yue Chenqing saw that he was flustered and understood. He said angrily, "You're still lying! You're a big bad dog! "
Jiang Yexue didn't like to cause trouble. He shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter, I'm not in a hurry to use it. Young … Young Master Yue, you can keep it. I'll take my leave first. "
As he said this, he picked up his walking stick and slowly walked out with his head lowered.
After making Jiang Yexue suffer so many grievances, Yue Chenqing's conscience finally couldn't take it anymore. He stood there in a daze for a while. His expression didn't look too good. Seeing that Jiang Yexue was about to push open the door and leave, he couldn't help but shout, "Hey!"
The moment he shouted, Yue Chenqing regretted it. Damn it, his father and uncles didn't like this person. If they found out that he talked too much to him, they would skin him alive.
However, Jiang Yexue had already stopped in his tracks.
Yue Chenqing could only brace himself and stutter, "… That … That … What do you want this pine oil for?"
"To make some talismans."
"Oh …" Yue Chenqing tilted his head. After a while, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "That … When Li Qingqian was causing trouble, those talismans in the city, were you the one who sent them to the poor …?"
Jiang Yexue didn't say anything.
Yue Chenqing glanced at him awkwardly.
Jiang Yexue sighed and said, "It's getting cold. Don't run around anymore. You should go back early. Don't make your fourth uncle angry. "
After saying this, he lifted the curtain and left the shop. Only Yue Chenqing was left standing there in a daze.
When he met Mo Xi's gaze, Yue Chenqing felt wronged and muttered blankly, "Lord Xi He, I …"
It wasn't convenient for Mo Xi to get involved in the Yue family's affairs, so he didn't say much. He only shook his head and left with Jiang Yexue.
They accompanied Jiang Yexue back to the smelting shop. When they said goodbye, it was almost evening. On the way back, Gu Mang suddenly asked, "Mo Xi, that Jiang Yexue, why did he give the pine oil to White Bird?"
"White Bird?"
"The one who called me a little turtle."
Mo Xi realized that Gu Mang was talking about Yue Chenqing. Yue Chenqing wore a thick white fur coat with a circle of fluff around his collar. That was why Gu Mang called him White Bird.
Mo Xi explained, "Because Jiang Yexue is his big brother."
"So he gave the oil to someone else because he's his big brother?"
Mo Xi was silent for a while and said, "No. It's because he thinks you're important that he's willing to give the oil to someone else. "
"Just like the senior who gave you roast goose?"
Mo Xi's heart skipped a beat. "… You think that senior thinks I'm important?"
Gu Mang thought for a while and said, "Roast goose is delicious. He gave it to you. You're important. "
Mo Xi looked at him strangely and didn't say anything. After a while, he said, "Then the person who gave you the sachet, do you think he's important to you?"
Gu Mang said without hesitation, "He's important."
Mo Xi's face darkened. He gritted his teeth and said, "You think he's important, but that doesn't mean he's interested in you. I've taken you in for so long, but no one in Wang Cheng cares about you."
Gu Mang lowered his head and didn't say anything.
Mochime was hurt by the stab, so he retaliated by biting back at the person who had stabbed him, "You think too highly of yourself. A sachet is enough to send you away. If that person really thinks you're important, he should have come to find you. You've been in trouble several times, he should have come to save you. Did he come? "
Gu Mang said dryly, "No."
"If he didn't come, then you still think he's important?"
"Yes … he's important."
Mo Xi was silent for a while and sneered with resentment. "Interesting. Which hero is he? Why don't you introduce him to me?"
This time, Gu Mang shook his head dejectedly. He lowered his eyes and didn't argue anymore. He looked hurt.
The two didn't talk to each other anymore. They walked side by side for a while. When they were about to reach the downtown area, Mo Xi finally spoke to him again. He said, "There are too many people here. Put on your cloak."
Gu Mang did as he was told.
As they walked, Mo Xi was still thinking about Gu Mang's words. He was restless. When they passed by a tea stall, he went to buy a bowl of herbal tea and stood there to drink.
Gradually, there were more and more rustling sounds around them.
"Aiya, look, it's Lord Xi He …"
"My husband, wuwuwu!"
"Nonsense! He's obviously my husband! "
Although this was Wang Cheng and Mo Xi wasn't someone who didn't go out all day, the girls who passed by couldn't help but look at him.
Mo Xi was born handsome, especially his lips. Although they were thin, the shape of his lips was very sexy. It was the kind of perfect color that made people want to kiss him.
Unfortunately, although he had such attractive lips, he had cold eyes that looked like they were covered in snow. He looked impatient and had a face of abstinence.
But even so, it could not quench the girls' desire for him. Also, Chong Hua did not know when it started, but there was a saying that Lord Xi looked cold and arrogant, but look at his broad shoulders, narrow waist, and long legs, and then look at the kind of ruthlessness that would not go against his words when his temper exploded …
Tsk, tsk, tsk. They just knew how he could make people want to die in bed.
For example, at this moment, there was a group of pretty women gathered on the second floor of a brothel on the street. They only received guests at night and were lazy during the day. At this moment, they were eating snacks and chatting under the verandah on the second floor. When they saw Mo Xi, they couldn't help but whisper to each other.
"I can say that when this man gets in bed, he won't be a polite person." The brothel's procuress guessed as she ate melon seeds and waved her fan.
The girls around her giggled. One of the girls said, "Godmother, you're talking nonsense. Lord Xi He keeps himself clean and never enters the brothel. How would you know what he's like in bed?"
"Tsk, you're too young and don't know much about people. Godmother, I'm not good at other things, but I have a sharp eye for men. " She pointed at the girls around her and joked, "If you have the chance to sleep with him, I'm afraid you'll lose half your life because of him."
When the girls who were drunk in the mortal world heard this, they looked at each other and laughed even more happily. "Godmother, I can't wait to lose my soul because of him."
"You only know how to show off." The procuress rolled her eyes and pointed her fan at Mo Xi's figure from afar. "Look at his legs, his shoulders, his back, his waist — do you think he's the sickly Lord Wangshu? If you really get in bed with him, you'll be f * cked by him until you can't even cry! "
"Hee hee, that's still better than a soft-footed shrimp who can be f * cked in two moves."
The more she said, the more unbearable it was to the ears. Contrasted with those beautiful faces, it was indescribably sad and pitiful.
They all knew that good men wouldn't sleep on their beds.
And no matter how much tenderness and sincerity they had in their hearts, they could only offer it to those old men, ugly men, and promiscuous men who would come to take advantage of them. In the end, they would be hated by those men's wives and despised by the girls of innocent families.
As they laughed and laughed, they felt a little lonely.
A girl looked at Mo Xi's back from afar and sighed softly. "Alas."
She didn't say anything, but the girls around her gradually became silent.
In this world, a flirtatious handsome man wasn't tempting enough, and a cold handsome man wasn't sexy enough. And a man like Mo Xi, who was obviously hot-blooded and had a temperament, was still serious and cold. That was what really made a girl's heart thirsty.
But who did his heart belong to?
"I really envy Princess Meng Ze." Suddenly, a singer covered her mouth with a fan and whispered.
"In the entire Chong Hua, who doesn't envy Princess Meng Ze?" Another girl beside her curled her lips and said, "It's good to be born with good looks. It's fine if others like her, but I heard that Lord Xi He won't marry anyone but her. He'll marry her as soon as she recovers. Aiyo, I'm so envious of others."
"Hey, hey, hey, who else likes her? Let's hear it. "
"Those young masters all like her, Jin Yunjun, Feng Yajun, Lord Wangshu …"
"Pfft, how could Lord Wangshu, he only loves himself."
"I heard that Gu Mang used to like her too."
"… That must be nonsense. Gu Mang likes everyone, he doesn't have a fixed personality. "
However, these girls were still a little excited at the mention of Gu Mang. A pretty girl said, "Speaking of which, Godmother, I heard from others that when you were in the army, Gu Mang always liked to look for you."
The girls all laughed again.
Their procuress used to be one of the top beauties in Chong Hua. She was perverse and shrewish, and people called her Pepper. Now that she was in her early thirties, she still had the lingering charm of a little pepper when she glared at others.
"You're making fun of me again, why mention me?"
"I'm just curious. Godmother, can you teach me some skills?"
"Yeah, it's all because Godmother is so flirtatious that General Gu likes her."
The procuress rolled her eyes. "Gu Mang? Let's not talk about him. What's there to talk about a playboy who changes girls every three days? " She paused, then continued, "If he didn't fall out with Junshang, if he didn't become a traitor, if he was still the famous General Gu, I guarantee that he could play with all of you."
After thinking for a while, she said, "He's really a Casanova."
They didn't know that the "Casanova" their godmother was talking about was the cloaked man standing obediently beside Mo Xi.
Gu Mang watched Mo Xi drink the third bowl of herbal tea and said, "Are you still thirsty?"
Mo Xi looked at him coldly. "What?"
Gu Mang said, "It's evening, time for dinner."
He actually knew how to make a request.
Mo Xi was still unhappy. "Go find your benefactor."
Gu Mang said stubbornly, "Find you."
Mo Xi was angry. "… I'm at your beck and call. Do you think I'm your slave?"
Unexpectedly, Gu Mang pointed at himself and said, "I'm the slave, you're the master."
"…"
"But you're not my master." He looked a little confused. "Jiang Yexue said to carve a name on the back. You said there's no need to carve a name on the back. Why?"
Mo Xi gritted his teeth. "Because I don't want you."
Gu Mang was stunned again. His eyes were confused. He repeated, "You don't want me. No one else wants you either. No one wants Gu Mang … no one wants Gu Mang? "
"Yes." He was obviously stabbing and belittling the other party, but Mo Xi didn't know why he was the one who felt more and more uncomfortable. He returned the teacup to the stall owner. "No one wants you. Let's go. "
"Where are we going?"
Mo Xi said unhappily, "Aren't you hungry? I'll take you to dinner. "
