Chapter 39: 宴請
[Dinner Banquet]
As Tang Xiao Bao expected, his donkey rolls were again very popular and sold very fast every time he went there. Watching the last customer leave with his goods, Tang Xiaobao happily put away his things and prepared to leave.
However, Green Lotus, who was standing there today, looked distracted, and was now looking at Tang Xiaobao, who was happily ready to go back with his things, and was a bit confused. However, remembering the words Feng Bodyguard found her yesterday night, she gritted her teeth, but also pressed down her other thoughts, and straightened up her expression, came to Tang Xiaobao’s side, looked at the person who had already packed up the things properly, and said softly: “Madam, I heard that there are some fresh things in the East Market, you haven’t seen them yet, so let’s go and have a look at them today while it’s still early in the day. Let’s go and take a look?”
Hearing Green Lotus’s words, Tang Xiaobao was a bit surprised, because he remembered that Green Lotus had never taken the initiative to say that she wanted to go there. Thinking that Ji Ling would not come back too early today, he nodded his head to indicate his agreement.
Seeing Tang Xiaobao like this, Green Lotus was a bit happy and a bit confused, only on the way to notice the different scenery Tang Xiaobao did not find this point, it still Green lotus who found out what was wrong, only in time, she hold the person who was about to lose his way.
Looking at Green Lotus’ reaction, Tang Xiaobao was a bit embarrassed, and touched his head, and said, “Green Lotus, thanks to you.”
Seeing Tang Xiaobao like this, he originally wanted to say something when Green Lotus opened her mouth, but finally did not say anything.
On the other hand, in the Ji Mansion, Tang Shiman came to thank him for the wine delivery a few days ago. But now Tang Xiaobao is not here, and Ji Ling is also outside, hearing this news, Tang Shiman is a bit disappointed, looking at the housekeeper who came to receive, have a bit of a sad look.
Seeing Tang Shiman like this, the butler slightly bowed his head, and said courteously, “If Miss Tang doesn’t mind, can you let me take you around the mansion?”
Seeing Tang Shiman like this, the butler slightly bowed his body, and said politely.
Tang Shiman looked at the butler, not knowing what he meant, his face was a bit surprised and uncertain, and his heart was a bit hesitant. But looking at the butler, who has always been very respectful, Tang Shiman gritted her teeth and finally refused.
The master is not at home, what’s the point of her visiting this place by herself, just this words can’t be said in front of this housekeeper, so she showed a decent smile, took an exquisite basket from the maid behind her, and handed it over to the housekeeper with a smile on her face, “This is the pastries that I have made by myself, and I would like to ask the housekeeper to help me hand it over to the young master Ji.”
Respectfully receiving what Tang Shiman handed over, the butler bowed his head, only the expression in the head underneath was somewhat unreadable. “Okay, Miss Tang.”
Seeing that the butler took her things over and assured that she would give them to Ji Ling, Tang Shiman quickly left with her maid.
Looking at Tang Shiman’s back as she left, the butler, who had been very respectful all along, stood up straight and then handed over his belongings in his hand to the subordinate beside him. Then he instructed the people outside to guard the door, and then took the subordinate into the main courtyard, and looked at Ji Ling, who was not going out today, and respectfully said, “Young master, Miss Tang has left, but she also left a box of things.”
He did not know whether Ji Ling heard it or not, his head didn’t lift as he continued what he was doing, until after a while, he looked at the housekeeper and slowly said, “Throw it away.”
“Yes.”
Leaving the Ji Mansion, although she didn’t meet the person, Tang Shiman was very happy that she had received her own things this time, and that she would be able to take advantage of this to strike up a conversation next time. With such a mood, Tang Shiman returned home happily.
Just entered the door, saw her mother sitting there, expression was very serious, and seemed to be thinking about what were the major problems, seeing her enter the room. Lifted her eyes to look at her ‘proud of her own success’ daughter, silently sighed, and then patted the seat beside her, until she sat down next to her, and then slowly said: “Do you know, guess. Mrs Li, this time she found me for what kind of matter?”
Thinking about what her mother said to her last time, and then looking at her mother’s expression, she couldn’t tell what was going on, guessing that there was some deviation from what they had expected, and Tang Shiman, who couldn’t figure it out, shook her head.
Wan Jingqian looked at her, pulling her hand, trying to calmly say: “This time looking for me to go over, one is in order to test the relationship between us and that Ji Gongzi, two is secretly suggesting you and Li young master’s marriage.” Seeing the expression on her daughter’s face, Wan Jing Qian patted her hand and said, “Because his family suggested it, so I agreed.”
Hearing this news, Tang Shiman’s head exploded. Originally, she thought that this matter would not be so fast, and Ji Ling obviously had a good feeling about herself. If so, without good feelings, how would he send herself that expensive things, how would he give herself face? He even allowed herself to tour the Ji Mansion, accompanied by his housekeeper. She gritted her teeth, a bit unwilling.
When Tang Xiaobao went home, only to find that the person who should have come back at dinner actually came back early, perhaps today at work. When Tang Xiaobao stepped into the room, Ji Ling sat on the soft cushion and read a book.
Thinking of what he went to do today, Tang Xiaobao quietly stretched his foot and withdrew it back, and then attempted to leave to pretend that he had been in the kitchen. Just not waiting for Tang Xiaobao to leave, Ji Ling, as if he had already discovered, said faintly: “Just come back, do not go to wash, and run to your place?”
Hearing Ji Ling say so, Tang Xiaobao revealed a very embarrassed look, and looked at Ji Ling with a somewhat tangled expression. After a while of apprehension, he found that Ji Ling didn’t have the intention to continue to ask questions, so he was greatly relieved, if Ji Ling got angry, how should he coax him, he didn’t have any experience.
Seeing that Ji Ling did not ask questions as usual, Tang Xiaobao happily went to take a bath. The weather was a bit hot today, and he was sweating.
Looking at Tang Xiaobao’s figure, the corner of Ji Ling’s mouth lifted. Just thinking of the person who came over today, the coldness in his eyes gradually rose. Thinking of the things he had ordered down, he believed that it would soon result in something.
Waiting for the bath out of the time, he saw Ji Ling sitting there, do not know he thought of what, but around the body’s aura looks very cold, looks like the mood is not considered as good. Although it should be very difficult for ordinary people to read any emotion from Ji Ling’s face, because generally Ji Ling did not have any emotion, but he did not know whether it is because it is already a long time, he always felt that he seemed to be able to sense Ji Ling’s emotion, and sometimes he even felt that Ji Ling’s emotion could be directly transmitted to him.
Thinking this way, Tang Xiaobao, who didn’t know why he was distressed, was entangled for a while, then walked over and stood in front of Ji Ling. He didn’t like Ji Ling this kind of expression, it reminded him of when he first arrived here, he was scared because of Ji Ling’s scary aura. Just standing there, he didn’t know what to say to change Ji Ling’s mood.
Ji Ling noticed Tang Xiaobao the first time he came over, and saw him standing in front of him without saying anything, so he reached out and cuddled him in his arms, and asked strangely, “What’s wrong?”
Being held in someone’s arms did not feel bad, and even felt very safe, so he even carefully pulled Ji Ling’s hand over and encircled himself. Feeling the completely different atmosphere from when he first arrived, he felt that Ji Ling seemed to be a bit more gentle than just now. Then he felt his neck being touched by something, and feeling a little itchy, he shrunk his head and smiled shyly.
Holding Tang Xiao Bao in his arms, Ji Ling did not seem to have any expression on his face, he just looked outside.
Seeing that Ji Ling didn’t do anything else, the two of them felt very good, so Tang Xiaobao sat there with him and didn’t say anything.
“Ji Ling, are you unhappy?” After the two of them sat there for a while, Tang Xiaobao asked directly. So he turned his head and looked at the person hugging him, his eyes shining brightly as he said.
Ji Ling looked at him and didn’t say anything, seemingly weighing something. He said he was happy, but he didn’t seem to be happy, and if he said that he wasn’t happy, but he wasn’t unhappy either. In the past, he had done his best just to stay alive, and now there was nothing to say that he was happy or unhappy about. It’s just that since he met Tang Xiaobao, it seems that his world has started to become different.
Seeing that Ji Ling didn’t say anything, Tang Xiaobao thought about it and held Ji Ling’s face and kissed him. The person he kissed first froze for a moment, then looked at him with a strange look in his eyes, and then grabbed him by the waist and kissed him. Until Tang Xiaobao fainted in Ji Ling’s arms, only then did Ji Ling let go of him. Only at this moment, Tang Xiaobao’s mind only had one sentence left, “To have only oneself to blame, cannot live.”
Reaching out and pressing Tang Xiaobao’s red mouth, Ji Ling did not know why, he felt a kind of longing arise from his body, thinking about it, it seems to be a kind of feeling that is not unfamiliar in the recent past. Looking at his own husband in his arms, thinking about it, Ji Ling looked at him like a big piece of fat meat.
Tang Xiaobao did not know what Ji Ling was thinking, just felt that he looked at his eyes and somehow made him afraid, so unconsciously shrunk. As a result, he saw Ji Ling staring at him seriously, and then he didn’t dare to move anymore.
Recently, the biggest event in the city was the celebration of Ji’s husband by the young master of Ji’s family, and the occasion was made very grand. Just preparing the banquet things are picking the best to get, not to mention in the meantime for his husband, he makes a big deal to buy those rare treasures, until then, the people only found out, it turns out that the Ji Gongzi is richer than what they imagined before.
This incident also gave a signal to the people who wanted to come to the banquet that he, Mr Ji, was a man who loved his husband very much.
Since that appointment, the Li family has been interested in marrying the Tang family, and the details of the process are still being discussed. But even if the marriage is to be concluded, I’m afraid it will still take some time.
