Jing Xingzhi’s Daily Life in Ancient Times - Chapter 80
At the right time, Jing Xingzhi started to talk: “I remember before I caught you this time, you met Brother Mingrui alone once. What did you say to him? You didn’t give anyone a purse or anything…”
Little girls in ancient times were very reserved, but obviously this one was not, Jing Xingzhi was a little worried.
Fang Yaojun thought about what she said that day, her face secretly blushed a little, and said: “I don’t have much money, don’t talk nonsense.”
“You put it like this, I think you have done something. I will ask the maid in charge of you later. There might be something missing around you.”
Jing Xingzhi looked serious and could really scare Fang Yaojun.
Fang Yaojun felt anxious at the thought of being asked such a shameful and embarrassing thing. She shook her head desperately in denial: “No, no, really not!”
“Then what did you say?” Jing Xingzhi looked carefully and saw the little girl was not lying. But he still had to ask. After he finished asking here, he still wanted to try brother Mingrui.
Thinking of Fang Yaojun being taken out, Jing Xingzhi felt dissatisfied with Brother Mingrui for the first time.
‘I regard you as a brother, but you once rejected my sister and actually took her out to play secretly?’
Fang Yaojun looked at Brother Jing, who didn’t let her go at all, and habitually puffed up her face into a bun.
Jing Xingzhi kept a cold face and raised his eyebrows.
Fang Yaojun sighed and relented: “Then I’ll tell you, but you are not allowed to tell my father, absolutely not!”
Facing Fang Qichen, Fang Yaojun still had many things she could not say. But Jing Xingzhi was different; the two of them were of the same generation, and Fang Yaojun felt very close to him.
Fang Yaojun thought if she really had a brother, it would be Brother Jing.
Fang Yaojun coughed, cleared her throat, and blushed. “I told him my name,” she said.
Jing Xingzhi nodded, then frowned in confusion. “Huh?”
“What the hell are you talking about with a name? Your name is nice, and so is my name! I didn’t see Brother Mingrui lose his gentlemanly demeanor towards me.”
“Then… I asked him to tell me an allusion and then I left,” Fang Yaojun thought, the corners of her lips curling up unconsciously, feeling that she was really smart at that time!
Name, allusion.
Fang Yaojun, Yaojun – a gentle lady; a gentleman was also good!
Jing Xingzhi thought: Brother Mingrui quickly sent the little girl away and answered the allusion without thinking. After finishing the answer, he found that he was coaxed into confessing…
Jing Xingzhi couldn’t help but admire her and looked at Fang Yaojun, “You are so good at flirting. Does your father know?”
Jing Xingzhi looked at the little junior sister in front of him and assessed her objectively, confirming that she was a little beauty. Even if she was wearing book boy clothes, she couldn’t hide her cuteness.
Flirting, most single young people have to think about it, right?
Fang Yaojun saw her senior brother was stunned, and her excitement disappeared little by little. She glanced at Jing Xingzhi cautiously and said with some guilt, “Senior Brother Jing?”
Jing Xingzhi came to his senses and said, “Call me brother.”
After hearing this, Fang Yaojun felt at ease, and a smile appeared on her little face. Jing Xingzhi sent her back to the cottage, found two books in the east room, and then went down the mountain.
.
At the intersection at the bottom of the mountain, Jing Xingzhi saw Wu Mingrui, who was waiting for him.
Wu Mingrui lowered his head and spun in circles like a slow spinning top. Perhaps he was too absorbed in his mind and didn’t see Jing Xingzhi came down.
Jing Xingzhi reached out to pat Wu Mingrui’s shoulder. “Brother Mingrui, are you waiting for me?”
Jing Xingzhi also wanted to go down the mountain to find Wu Mingrui and talk about Fang Yaojun. Unexpectedly, Wu Mingrui was waiting for him. Now that Brother Mingrui was looking for him, it probably only concerned Fang Yaojun…
Wu Mingrui looked up in shock. Then he pursed his lips, stretched out his hand to scratch his head, and said, “Yes, I’m waiting for you, go ahead.”
“I…” Wu Mingrui hesitated, saying only one word, and his cheeks were filled with rosy blushes.
Jing Xingzhi asked, “Brother Mingrui, what do you want from me?”
“I…” Wu Mingrui took a breath, “I did something wrong, and I want to apologize to you.” Wu Mingrui raised his head and looked at Jing Xingzhi apologetically. “I clearly knew it was wrong to bring Young Lady Fang out, but I still brought her out… I really betrayed Xingzhi’s trust!”
Wu Mingrui lowered his head in shame. He thought something was wrong when he agreed to Young Lady Fang, but he still took her out, as if he had lost his mind.
There was a difference between men and women. He was still so confused when he was so old. It was really in vain for him to study for years!
Jing Xingzhi watched Wu Mingrui turn into a quail and found new doubts about the matter.
How did Fang Yaojun manage to trick Wu Mingrui? Of course, there was no problem. Because the little girl was good-looking and smart, not to mention Wu Mingrui might be a bit interested, so this process could be considered natural.
However, Fang Qichen had instructed him that Fang Yaojun was not allowed to leave the mountain through the outer courtyard of the academy. How could she have been out of sight for so long without anyone noticing?
Jing Xingzhi thought about it carefully and noticed a smile on Fang Qichen’s face when he sent Fang Yaojun back. Could it be that Old Man Fang Qichen had arranged it intentionally? Jing Xingzhi looked at Wu Mingrui, as if he were observing a little white rabbit that accidentally bumped into a tree.
Wu Mingrui blushed and said, “This is my fault. I’ll go home immediately and discuss the marriage with my mother!”
Jing Xingzhi thought to himself, ‘Oh, so the little white rabbit is willing too.’
After a moment of silence, Wu Mingrui asked, “Xingzhi, do you think this is a good idea?”
Wu Mingrui felt he was getting older, had been to matchmaking events, and suspected that people like Chief Fang looked down on him. But if he did nothing, it would seem too irresponsible. Reflecting on his actions after his friend brought Young Lady Fang back, Wu Mingrui realized he hadn’t been a gentleman. He didn’t know when he became interested in Young Lady Fang, but he was just confused and hadn’t realized it.
.
Jing Xingzhi felt uncomfortable thinking about it after Wu Mingrui left, so he ran back to the mountain. He found Fang Qichen and snatched the brush from the old man’s hand. “Teacher, Wu Mingrui said his mother should arrange the marriage.”
Fang Qichen nodded. “I’m aware of that. Give me the brush.”
Jing Xingzhi hid the brush behind his back. “Since when did you fall for him?”
Fang Qichen raised his eyebrows. “How would you know?”
Jing Xingzhi was unconvinced. “Why wouldn’t I know?”
Fang Qichen chuckled at his young disciple’s seriousness. “Silly boy, you were in the bridal chamber that day. Apart from your wife, what else do you remember from that day?”
Jing Xingzhi was shocked. How long had it been? Xiao Fangfang already pregnant more than three months! Confused, he asked, “What exactly happened?”
“I got drunk. He took good care of me. I think he’s good at taking care of people. That’s all.”
Fang Qichen took the brush from Jing Xingzhi’s hand and said slowly.
Jing Xingzhi pondered for a moment and asked, “What if he was deliberately trying to please you?”
Fang Qichen looked up at his young disciple, straightened his back, and said, “I vomited three times that day.”
