Ling Yun has been depressed these past few days. Thinking over and over what happened in the past few days, he wondered what he had done wrong to make Ding Mengxuan resent him so much and misunderstand him so deeply.
He didn't know what he should do next to eliminate Ding Mengxuan's misunderstanding of him. For a moment, he even felt that the grudge between him and Ding Mengxuan could never be eliminated...
Yuan Ping saw that he was unhappy and knew what was on his mind, so he joked: "What's wrong? Is it because I feel bad because I have been ignored by the beautiful lady? What does it matter? There is no grass anywhere in the world, so why bother yourself? ? Let’s go and take a walk.”
Yuan Ping refused to say anything and forced him out of the house.
The two of them walked aimlessly on the crowded street. After walking around in a circle, Ling Yun felt bored and said dullly: "Let's go back!"
Seeing that he was listless, Yuan Ping deliberately made him happy and said: "Hey, by the way, I heard that Boss Jade from the Silk and Satin Mansion is back. How about we go over and sit down!"
This sentence hit the right note and awakened his mind. When he mentioned Yu Qingcheng, he thought of the embroidery building party that night.
I thought: No matter what, they helped me that night. As the saying goes: "A drop of kindness should be repaid by a spring." I should always go over and express my gratitude.
While thinking, he nodded and said, "Okay!"
During the days when Yu Qingcheng went to Ding's house, the housekeeper Zhou Shen, his uncle Sun Xiaowen, and his sister-in-law Li Yunting took care of things in the silk shop. Now that Yu Qingcheng is back, everyone is more relaxed.
It's just that Yu Qingcheng is not at home these days, and the business in the store is much sluggish than before. Now that Yu Qingcheng has returned, most people don't know yet, so the business in the store is not very prosperous today.
Only on the left side of the door, by the window, was a tall, handsome young man in Tsing Yi, facing outside, silently drinking tea slowly.
Yuqing saw that there was not much business in the store, so she wanted to go back.
At this time, she heard the butler Zhou Shen say from outside: "Hey, isn't this Commander Ling? Your Majesty is here, Pengpi is shining. Please come in quickly!"
Ling Yun said: "Is Boss Yu here?"
As soon as he heard this question, Yu Qingcheng knew that he was here to find her. She took it out with a bright smile, "What a rare visitor, Commander Ling, please come in quickly!"
The three of them were polite and went to the tea pavilion inside.
After sitting down and exchanging a few words, Ling Yun got to the point: "I'm here today to express my gratitude to Boss Yu. Thanks to Boss Yu for helping me with what happened that night, Ling Yun would like to express my gratitude!"
After saying that, he stood up and bowed to Yu Qingcheng.
Yu Qingcheng pursed his lips and smiled: "Just one word, one action, and it's over? Don't Commander Ling think it's too shabby?"
Ling Yun was startled for a moment, then looked at her with piercing eyes and said, "What else does Boss Yu want?"
Yu Qing's bright eyes turned like autumn water and said: "What else can you give me, and what do I need?"
Ling Yun raised his sword eyebrows and said: "I can't think of it. Because like Boss Yu: the most beautiful and richest person in the world; now he is proud of himself. I really can't think of what Boss Yu still lacks?"
When Yu Qingcheng saw that his eyes were clear and clear, he couldn't help but sigh and said: "Maybe you can give me what I lack. But I don't know if there is such a thing, let alone whether you are willing to give it."
Ling Yun said: "I don't understand what you mean."
Yu Qing was about to speak when he suddenly heard Wednesday Shen outside the door: "Hey, Mr. Ding is here, come in quickly!"
Before Zhou Shen could finish his words, Ding Jiying had already lifted the curtain and walked in: "Hey, Commander Ling is here too. I'm glad to see you!"
Ling Yun returned the courtesy and waited to say goodbye to Yu Qingcheng.
Ding Jiying said: "Hey, Brother Ling, Brother Yuan, don't leave! It's a rare meeting. Besides, I happen to have something to tell Brother Ling."
With that said, he forced Ling Yun and Yuan Ping to sit back down.
Ling Yun asked curiously: "What's the matter?"
Ding Jiying took a sip of tea and looked both ways.
The pavilion was deserted, except for the young man in green who was sitting by the window, still drinking tea slowly and looking out the window indifferently, as if he didn't care about what was going on here.
Ling Yun smiled and said: "Why, are you still afraid of seeing the light of this matter?"
"Hey, I can't say that. It's just...it's hard to put it into words." Ding Jiying sighed and stopped talking.
Ling Yun became impatient, "Hey, if you don't tell me, I have to leave. There are still things in the house."
"Don't say goodbye, I said, I said..." Ding Jiying sighed and said: "That's what happened. My father and Prince Jinling have agreed on a marriage for me. What is the name of the prince's princess, Zhuahyu? of……"
Ling Yun said: "It's great to congratulate you, but why are you sighing?"
"Hey, you don't know. I've never even met the princess, so how can I know her character, talent, and appearance? Besides, I already have a crush on her."
"Oh, who is it?"
The young man in green seemed to move his head, then quickly turned it back.
At this time, even Yuan Ping, Yu Qingcheng, and Zhou Shen were watching and listening.
Ding Jiying didn't mind, and said bluntly: "It's Miss Lu from your house!"
Ling Yun was surprised at first, then smiled, "Good eyesight, but I don't understand a bit."
"Hey, what's wrong with this? I remember the first time I saw her, it was at a banquet at the Marquis's Mansion. At that time, Miss Lu disguised herself as a man and came to the Marquis' Mansion. When I saw her, I was absolutely shocked! Oh, it’s really as beautiful as a lotus as a face and willows as eyebrows, so magnificent that it will captivate the country and the city..."
"It is this Jade Boss who has conquered the country."
"Brother Ling, please don't make fun of me. I am telling the truth." Ding Jiying said seriously: "Since then, I have been thinking about it day and night, not about food and tea - Brother Ling, please help me!"
"Hi, how can I help?"
Ding Jiying said: "You are near the water and the first to get the moon..."
Yuan Ping laughed after hearing the snort.
Ling Yun looked back at him and said to Ding Jiying, "What?"
Ding Jiying said: "No, I don't mean that! I mean, you are in the same house, so you have more chances to contact her. As long as you two can talk things over for me, maybe..."
Ling Yun thought to himself: "I want to make peace with her? I have such a quarrel with her, it can only be counterproductive." Then he smiled bitterly and shook his head silently.
Seeing that Ding Jiying was a little embarrassed, Yuan Ping said, "If Mr. Ding is interested, why not report it to his parents and ask a matchmaker to go to the Lu Mansion to propose marriage? As long as he has his parents' orders and the matchmaker's words, -"
Ding Jiying said: "Having said that, I just don't know what Miss Lu wants. What if she doesn't agree and runs away from home?"
Yuan Ping was startled: "What did you say?"
Ding Jiying knew that he had made a mistake, but he was straightforward and had no scheming. Seeing that the matter had come to this, he simply said: "Brother Yuan, Brother Ling, I am only telling you two that you must not let it out."
He lowered his voice and said: "Actually, the princess is not willing either. I have heard about it a long time ago. This girl is so unruly and willful that she ran away from home regardless of her decency. - She still doesn't know her whereabouts, and it almost drove Prince Jinling to death. .Brother Ling, do you think I can handle such a woman?"
Ling Yun complained in his heart: That Lu Qiuyue was unbecoming and slipped out of the Lu Mansion to show her face in a mixed place, how come you don't mind it?
Seeing that the two of them just smiled and said nothing, Ding Jiying said anxiously: "You two, can you help me with this?"
Before the two of them had time to answer, they suddenly heard footsteps outside the door, and two more people walked in.
Judging from their attire, they were members of the Jinling Palace. Ding Jiying even recognized who these two people were: Zhao Wei, Zhao Yang, close family members of Jinling Prince Zhao Fu,
When the two met Ling Yun, Ding Jiying and Yuan Ping, they greeted each other hurriedly and warmly; they were especially kind to Ding Jiying - because this second son Ding was the future son-in-law of Prince Jinling.
Ding Jiying, on the other hand, felt a little uncomfortable.
At this time, the young man in green at the window left the money on the table and walked to the door without saying a word.
He didn't want to attract everyone's attention, but it had the opposite effect. Zhao Yang glanced at him and suddenly shouted: "Hey! Stop!"
The young man in green shuddered and quickly ran out the door.
Zhao Yang and Zhao Wei didn't bother to talk to Ling Yun, Ding Jiying and others, so they rushed out in a hurry.
Ding Jiying was originally listless, but when he saw something new happening, he immediately became interested and pulled Ling Yun and Yuan Ping out to watch the fun together.
Ling Yun had already planned to leave, but when he saw this, he said to Yu Qing: "Mrs. Boss, come visit me another day and settle the bill!"
Yu Qingcheng smiled and said: "Oh, what is this tea money worth? As long as Commander Ling doesn't get in trouble with us in the future and makes it easier for us, we will be satisfied."
Ling Yun smiled noncommittally, put a piece of silver on the table and walked out.
Yu Qingcheng said from behind: "Change!"...
When Ling Yun and Yuan Ping went out, Ding Jiying had already stood outside the door for a while.
At this time, Zhao Wei and Zhao Yang stopped Young Master Tsing Yi from leaving, and Young Master Tsing Yi was separating from the two of them.
Look at the young man in green, with youthful appearance, curved thin eyebrows, clear eyes, and a fair face, he is very beautiful.
It's just that at this time, he was frowning and speaking aggressively, and he was not very polite.
I just heard the young man in green say: "I won't go back! I won't go back! ... Let's see what you can do to me?"
Zhao Wei and Zhao Yang were about to say something more, but when they saw Ding Jiying standing aside, they fell silent and just insisted that the young master in Qingyi go back with them.
Ding Jiying couldn't stand it. He suddenly felt the heroic ambition to draw his sword to help when the road was rough, and stepped forward and said: "Hey, what's going on? If there are no other reasons, you have no reason to stop people and prevent them from leaving, right?"
When he asked, Zhao Yang and Zhao Wei stopped talking.
The Young Master in Tsing Yi showed a proud look on his face, turned his eyes and said, "How about it, are you at your wits' end now? - If you dare to ask me what to call this Young Master, you have to make the decision for me!"
Ding Jiying said: "My Lord, Ding Jiying. If you have any difficulties, please tell me, and I will uphold justice for you!"
The young man in green said: "The students are foreigners who came to Beijing to visit relatives. I owe them ten taels of silver, which I just paid off yesterday. Who would have thought that they would actually bully others and ask for interest from me!..."
The two family members complained repeatedly; Ding Jiying asked: "Then tell me what is going on?"
"This..." The two of them looked at each other, speechless.
The young man in green glared at the two of them fiercely and said, "Well, I have nothing to say! - This brother, what I said is right!"
Ding Jiying asked: "How much interest do they want from you?"
"Five taels of silver!"
Ding Jiying pondered for a while and said: "It's natural to ask for interest, but the interest is a little higher. So, I'll advance these five taels of silver for you. Not only will I get the money for you, but I will also talk to you about it. You have ten taels of silver, so you might as well start a small business to make a living."
After saying that, he turned to Ling Yun and said, "Brother Ling, what do you think I did? I'm so righteous!"
Ling Yun thought to himself: When did people say that there was a shortage of silver and they asked you to donate money to help? It's just too arrogant. But he said: "Master Ding is so righteous and generous!"
Ding Jiying felt very proud when he heard the other party praise him. Although the Tsing Yi Young Master repeatedly refused, Ding Jiying thought that he was trying to shirk his humility and said loudly: "What's the point? A mere piece of silver is not a sign of respect..."
His hand reached halfway and suddenly stopped. Only then did he remember that he had left his wallet at home while changing clothes.
What should we do? I had just boasted so much, if I took it back, how much would I lose face? He had no choice but to turn to Ling Yun and said: "Brother Ling, do you have any money? Lend me fifteen taels.
Ling Yun thought to himself: This month's salary has been reduced, and I am still worried about money. Why do you want to borrow it from me? "I didn't bring it with me," he said. "
Ding Jiying was anxious, "You're lying! I know you must have it, but it's not like I won't pay you back. Don't be so stingy, okay?"
Ling Yun had no choice but to withdraw money. Unfortunately, there are no more five taels of silver ingots, and there are still two ten taels of silver coins in my arms.
Ding Jiying grabbed it and said, "That's fine! Brother, keep these ten taels of silver first; Zhao Yang, these ten taels can be used as interest for your palace!"
Zhao Yang and Zhao Wei refused, and the young man in green also refused to accept it.
Ding Jiying said: "Don't be polite. Is it natural to pay back debts? Zhao Yang, since this young master owes you money, just accept it, and don't make it difficult for him again in the future, ah?"
The two of them couldn't laugh or cry.
Ding Jiying said to Mr. Qingyi again: "Brother, you don't have to refuse. As the saying goes: Helping the poor and helping the poor is a chivalrous act; and he also said: If you don't have compassion, you are not a human being. If you are in trouble, I will help you. Is this how it should be for you?"
Ling Yun couldn't help laughing when he saw this.
Seeing Ding Jiying insisting on this, the young master in Tsing Yi blinked and said, "It's better for me to be respectful than to obey orders! Thank you very much for your help. If there is an opportunity in the future, I will definitely repay you."
"Hey, brother, why are you so polite?"
"Goodbye, little brother." The young man in green took the silver, handed over to everyone, and turned around.
Zhao Wei and Zhao Yang were so anxious that they rubbed their hands and stamped their feet and wanted to chase him.
Ding Jiying said: "Hey, why are you still chasing this person? Hasn't the interest he owes you already been settled?"
The two of them seemed to have a lot of truth, but they couldn't talk it out. They could only watch the back of the young man in green gradually disappearing, with nothing to do.
Ling Yun glanced at Yuan Ping and couldn't help but become suspicious, so he asked: "You two, is there anything wrong with that young master?"
Zhao Yang asked, but hurriedly covered it up: "Oh, it's nothing."
In this way, although Ling Yun felt confused, he had no choice but to give up because others didn't tell him.
What's more, he didn't have any more energy to answer this curiosity at this time; he knew it was time for him and Yuan Ping to go back to the house, because there were still many things waiting for them to do in the house.
