Pick out
After entering the house, Zhao Chen held his hands behind him and looked at the decorations in the house with great interest.
Meng Zhongjing was not good at speaking and gave a wink at Lin Chongjiu.
Lin Chongjiu smiled and shouted, "Brother Zhao, sit on the kang." He was almost at his own home in the Meng family.
Zhao Chen turned around and walked over.
Meng Zhongjing thought that every time he went to the Lin family, he would serve him tea, and then look at the man in gorgeous clothes with a smile on the other side, and hurriedly said, "Young Master Zhao talks to Xiaojiu first, I'll prepare tea." Fortunately, because the wedding is approaching, the family prepared tea early. Although it is all cheap things, it's better to have it than not.
"Brother Meng, don't be polite." Zhao Chen stopped him with a smile, then lowered his head and said to Lin Chongjiu: "Xiaojiu, Chen Pingxin heard a story about fighting a tiger yesterday. Go and find him and let him tell you."
"Really?" Lin Chongjiu asked excitedly, and before Zhao Chen could answer, he opened the curtain and ran out: "Brother Chen, tell me quickly!"
The curtain fell down, covering the big and small in the kitchen.
Meng Zhongjing looked at Zhao Chen in confusion, vaguely feeling that the other party had something to say.
Zhao Chen stood up under his gaze, walked to the cabinet, reached out to touch it, suddenly turned his head and asked Meng Zhongjing with a smile: "When will Brother Meng marry Miss Lin?"
Before, Zhao Chen was sitting at the door, Meng Zhongjing stood in front of the cabinet on the east side. Now Zhao Chen came over, and the two were only a few steps apart. After asking, Zhao Chen continued to look at the cabinet, his movements were casual and natural, and he also had a natural noble spirit, as if he was not looking at the farm cabinet, but a valuable furnishing.
Such a man made Meng Zhongjing unable to understand why the other party treated him and even the Lin family so politely?
Suppressing his confusion, he replied politely: "On the sixth day of the September 1st, if Mr. Zhao doesn't dislike you, come and have a wedding banquet if you have time that day?"
Wedding wine?
Zhao Chen smiled but said nothing, his eyes fell on the bronze mirror in front of him. After a while, he replied softly: "Brother Meng, Zhao is a businessman. He has been to the capital city of the county and the capital city. He has traveled many places from south to north and saw many beauties. However, if you want to be beautiful, no one can compare to Aji. Brother Meng made a marriage with Aji early, and he was really blessed, which made Zhao envious."
There is undisguised regret and envy in the muttering words.
Meng Zhongjing looked at him in surprise. The man looked at him with a strange appearance and a cold temperament, even though he had a smile on his lips.
But isn’t it not appropriate to talk about his fiancée’s appearance in front of him? Also, he actually called Aji’s nickname directly?
Meng Zhongjing was shocked and didn't know what to say.
Zhao Chen seemed not to notice his mistake, but said, "But marrying a wife and virtuous persons are more likely to cause trouble. Just like doing business, the goods are too good, so many people rob them. Sometimes, even though I ordered the goods first, the goods owner would betray the trust and sell them to others because the conditions offered by the opponent were better. Brother Meng, if I were you, it would rather marry someone with a slightly worse appearance than his wife who was too beautiful and was attracted by others, and he robbed the marriage halfway."
He slowly turned around and was facing Meng Zhongjing with a slight smile on his face, but his eyes were meaningful and he was even more determined to win.
If you are a man, you can understand what he means.
Meng Zhongjing clenched his fists with both hands and stared at the rich young master opposite him and asked coldly: "What does Mr. Zhao want to say?"
Zhao Chen was about to speak, when Lin Chongjiu came back after listening to the story, he smiled at Meng Zhongjing: "It's nothing, it's just that Zhao and Brother Meng have similar temperaments, and they can't help but say a few heartfelt words." After saying that, he pulled Lin Chongjiu to his side and lowered his head to ask him: "Xiaojiu still remembers what it means to have similar temperaments?"
"I know, if you like the same thing, it is called being in a similar temperament. It's like Brother Zhao and I like practicing Kung Fu." Lin Chongjiu raised his head and replied.
Zhao Chen patted his shoulder reward, and then said to the two seriously: "Brother Meng, Xiaojiu, I have to leave if I have something to do in my family. Because my aunt was not willing to refuse, I have been delayed for so long and I have to leave. After Xiaojiu returns, he apologizes for me and your mother. I will come to the door to apologize and say goodbye to you next day."
Lin Chongjiu was stunned, and Zhao Chen had already walked out.
"Brother Zhao, you, the rain is so heavy, I'll bring you an umbrella?" Lin Chongjiu rushed to chase him out.
"No need, Xiaojiu practices martial arts well, I will teach you next month!" Zhao Chen went out without looking back.
It was already heavy rain outside, and the man's figure was quickly covered by the rain, and it was hazy. Lin Chongjiu wanted to chase after him, but Meng Zhongjing pressed his shoulder. The sound of horse hooves came from the door. Lin Chongjiu was upset and worried: "With such a heavy rain, what urgent matter is there to leave? After a while, my mother knew that I didn't keep Brother Zhao, and she would definitely be angry!"
"Xiaojiu likes him very much?" Meng Zhongjing asked with a complicated expression.
Lin Chongjiu looked at the door with eyes: "I like it, Brother Zhao is so powerful, I admire him the most."
Meng Zhongjing moved his mouth, but he didn't open his mouth. He raised his eyes and the sound of rain in the yard crackled.
He thought of Mr. Zhao's enthusiasm for Mr. Zhao who went to visit the Lin family that day. In terms of appearance, identity and talent, he could not compare with Mr. Zhao. If he hadn't known Aji earlier and had made a marriage in advance, Mr. Lin Xian would definitely not have promised his eldest daughter to him, right?
Now, that man is destined to compete with him for Aji. Will Lin Xian and his wife regret the marriage?
What about her? Will she fall in love with Mr. Zhao?
Meng Zhongjing's heart was in a mess.
There was no sound behind him for a long time. Lin Chongjiu turned around and saw his face turned pale. He couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with Brother Meng?"
Meng Zhongjing looked down at Lin Chongjiu, but what could he say to a child? Lin Chongjiu was saved by that person and learned martial arts from him. He regarded the other party as the person he admired the most. Not to mention Lin Chongjiu, even Lin Xian and his wife, they would not believe what Mr. Zhao said, right? He himself was the same? If it weren't for hearing it with his own ears, he would never have expected that the polite and polite person would hide that kind of thought.
He could only tell her to let her guard against him.
But will she believe it? She knows, will she have other thoughts, maybe she already knows it?
Meng Zhongjing suddenly wanted to see Aji.
"Xiaojiu, Mr. Zhao is gone. I'll take you home and tell your mother by the way." The umbrella was placed next to it. Meng Zhongjing opened the umbrella, stood outside the door first, then pulled Lin Chongjiu to his side, and walked on his shoulder.
Lin Chongjiu followed his brother-in-law obediently. The wind blew the rain on him. He raised his head and found that most of the umbrellas were on his side. Brother Meng has always been very nice to him, but now he is only worried that Brother Zhao, who has just left on a horse, isn't he afraid of being watered with such heavy rain? Don't have any trouble on the road.
Both of them had their own thoughts and arrived at the Lin family unknowingly.
Lin Chongjiu shouted loudly: "Mom, Brother Zhao is gone!"
Mrs. Liu was choosing vegetables in the kitchen. She couldn't believe it when she heard the sound. She hurriedly put down the vegetables and ran to the door. She saw Meng Zhongjing holding an umbrella to send her son back. The rain was too heavy, so she stood under the eaves and asked them: "Mr. Zhao is gone? Why are you leaving?"
Meng Zhongjing did not answer her immediately. He held an umbrella. As early as when the door of the west wing was pushed open, he looked over and looked at the girl who appeared in a hurry at the door. Was she coming out so quickly because of unexpected Mr. Zhao's departure? The shock on her face suddenly turned into panic after seeing him. She even retreated as if she was stunned for a moment and ran away. Are you afraid that he would find something?
As if he accidentally bit his gallbladder, Meng Zhongjing felt bitter.
Liu urged him, and Meng Zhongjing finally came back to his senses and repeated the man's words when he left, "I want to keep someone, but he walked too fast."
Most of his face was covered by an umbrella. Liu did not look closely, and looked at the door and said angrily: "Why is this Mr. Zhao so careless? If I had known, I would have known that he would have to leave. When I was by the river, I would not advise him to come and shelter him from the rain. I could still water less. It's really..."
Even though it is a blame, it is still a concern.
Meng Zhongjing's mother died early and came to Lin's house to play when she was a child. Liu often talked about him in this tone, and after getting engaged with Aji, he treated him as a son. At this time, when Liu was concerned about someone who wanted to steal his fiancée from him in the same tone, Meng Zhongjing felt very uncomfortable.
"Aunt, you're busy. I'll take Xiaojiu back to the house and go back soon." He pushed Lin Chongjiu's shoulder forward.
They are all people who can’t be more familiar with each other. Liu didn’t politely treat him and continued to choose vegetables.
After only a dozen steps, Meng Zhongjing's heart was twisted and turned around, but in the end he couldn't help but whisper to Lin Chongjiu: "Xiaojiu, brother has something to say to your sister, I'll wait for her at the back door, and you can tell her."
Lin Chongjiu often did this, laughing at him, how could Meng Zhongjing laugh at him now? He touched his head and turned around and left.
Lin Chongjiu took an umbrella himself and went to the wing room to find his elder sister.
Lin Zhu was reading a book on the kang inside, and Aji sat outside and was ignorant. The door was suddenly pushed open, and she was startled. She looked up and saw her younger brother winking at her at the door. She was stunned and leaned over with her heart. It turned out that Meng Zhongjing wanted to see her.
Aji didn't dare to see her, but she had to go, so she had to know what the man said to Meng Zhongjing.
She took an umbrella, looked at the kitchen opposite, and pretended to be calm and went to the backyard.
Lin Chongjiu closed the back door of the main room, then sat at the table and pretended to read, guarding them like before, not allowing others to go to the back.
The sound of closing the door came from behind. Aji looked at the front gate, gritted her teeth, and walked over nervously.
The door opened, and Meng Zhongjing was already waiting for her there.
It was raining heavily, and there should be no one outside, but Meng Zhongjing carefully put away the umbrella and stood against the door wall, soaked all over.
The umbrella was lowered, and Aju caught a glimpse of the man's chest, and he no longer dared to look up again, and covered his mouth and cried.
The humiliation when she was forced, the fear of these days, all turned into tears when she saw the man she liked. At this moment, she had no intention of thinking about how to hide it. She just felt wronged and wanted to be protected and comforted by her own man.
