Chapter 109 Luring a love rival into the house
Xu Yanqing watched Xu Zhen'er walk away, feeling that with Zhen'er's help, he might be able to achieve good things.
After lunch, Xu Zhener indeed brought a rare item, which was a landscape painting by Mr. Liu Yuan.
"Hey, I finally begged for it. You go and give it to Mr. Zhou, just to make up for the last meeting gift." Xu Zhener smiled innocently and cutely.
Xu Yanqing glanced at his innocent sister and said, "I will send your thoughts to Mr. Zhou. I heard that Mr. Zhou is twenty. Is there any marriage or marriage agreement at this age?"
Xu Zhener's face changed slightly. Yes, why didn't she think of this?
If Zhou Mu was already married, or had an engagement, wouldn't it mean that she died before leaving the army?
"Don't think too much about it yet. I'll find a chance to test his tone in the afternoon. I'll go back to the Yamen first." Xu Yanqing took the landscape map and walked away in high spirits.
Soon after, the Ministry of Household Affairs officially announced.
Zhou Mu was checking the case files and checking the editions when suddenly a shadow appeared in front of him. He raised his eyes and met Xu Yanqing's flirtatious smiling face.
"Is something wrong?" Zhou Mu looked distant, not understanding why Xu Yanqing was suddenly so enthusiastic towards him.
Just as he didn't like Xu Yanqing, Xu Yanqing didn't seem to like him either. They had only known each other on business matters.
Xu Yanqing tried his best to make his smile look sincere: "Brother Zhou has been on duty in the Household Department for several days, and I haven't had the chance to get to know Brother Zhou properly. Otherwise, after today's shift, I treat Brother Zhou to a drink?!
"
Zhou Mu looked at Xu Yanqing with a calm expression.
As the saying goes, showing courtesy for nothing is a traitor or a thief. The person in front of you is probably the best interpretation of this saying.
"I don't drink." Zhou Mu replied coldly, then lowered his head and continued to do business.
The smile on Xu Yanqing's face almost couldn't stop. He felt that Zhou Mu wanted him to quit in spite of the difficulties. Which young master these days doesn't know how to take a few sips of wine?
"It doesn't matter if Brother Zhou doesn't know how to drink. I'll teach Brother Zhou and I guarantee that I can help Brother Zhou train to a high level!" Xu Yanqing soon put a smile on his face again.
Zhou Mu didn't look at him anymore, as if he was immersed in business.
This made Xu Yanqing feel frustrated.
How could someone not eat enough food and salt?
If he has friends all over the world, who among the aristocratic children in the capital would not make friends with him? Only Mr. Zhou in front of me is unreasonable and unreasonable.
After that, Xu Yanqing said a bunch of extravagant words, but Zhou Mu never gave him a look.
If it were normal, Xu Yanqing would have walked away long ago, but it was related to his happiness in the next life. No matter how cold Zhou Mu was, he had to endure it.
Xu Yanqing tried to get close to him again, but got no response from Zhou Mu, so he had to go about his own errands first.
He was waiting at the door of the government office before getting off duty. When he saw Qi Zhiyuan, he immediately went up to get close to him.
Qi Zhiyuan was fooled by Xu Yanqing's few words. When he reacted, Xu Yanqing had already boarded their carriage.
When Zhou Mu came out of the Yamen, he saw Qi Zhiyuan looking at him with a dejected expression: "Young Master..."
"What's wrong?"
As soon as Zhou Mu lifted the curtain, he saw Xu Yanqing sitting on the carriage. The man was waving to him with a smile on his face: "Brother Zhou, do you mind if I take a ride on Brother Zhou's ride today?"
Zhou Mu looked intently at Xu Yanqing, who came uninvited, but Xu Yanqing was shameless and looked back calmly: "Brother Zhou, please come up."
Zhou Mu had never dealt with someone like Xu Yanqing before. He hesitated for a moment and finally got on the carriage.
The carriage started, and Xu Yanqing chatted with Zhou Mure. Finally, he got to the point: "I will go to Brother Zhou's house to sit down later. Brother Zhou will treat me to dinner by the way. This painting will be my money for dinner."
.”
He said and put the painting into Zhou Mu's hand.
Zhou Mu threw the painting back to Xu Yanqing and asked bluntly: "What is your purpose?!"
In any case, Xu Yanqing suddenly approached him with bad intentions.
"Brother Zhou, do you still remember my sister Zhen'er? Zhen'er admires Brother Zhou and forces me to associate with Brother Zhou. I really can't stand Zhen'er's persecution, so I can only get close to Brother Zhou. Don't worry, Brother Zhou, I will never force Brother Zhou to accept
Zhen'er, I'm just afraid of Zhen'er, so I deal with her casually." Xu Yanqing used Xu Zhen'er as an excuse to cover up her true purpose.
He remembered that Zhou Mu had been exposed to the same sandalwood as Gu Xiyan, which made him uneasy.
Although Zhou Mu seems to be aloof from the world, he does not necessarily avoid love between men and women. What if Zhou Mu also falls in love with Gu Xiyan?
Just in case, he couldn't tell Zhou Mu that his real target was Gu Xiyan.
Although Zhou Mu didn't remember Xu Zhen'er's appearance, he remembered that there was such a person, and he didn't become suspicious at the moment.
Qi Zhiyuan, who was driving a carriage outside, was eavesdropping. He was wondering if the young master would reject Xu Yanqing, but to his surprise, the young master actually brought Xu Yanqing into the Zhou Mansion.
Apart from Miss Gu and Emperor Cheng De, Xu Yanqing is the third person who has been to this place.
For a moment, he couldn't figure out what the young master was thinking.
Xu Yanqing once thought that Zhou Mu would reject her, because Zhou Mu seemed to be a difficult person to get close to, and he also kept to himself in government offices.
It happened that Zhou Mu brought him into the house.
The gatekeeper Cai Yu's eyes widened when he saw Xu Yanqing, as if he was a savage beast: "Master, this is..."
"Colleague." Zhou Mu led the way.
When Xu Yanqing passed Cai Yu, he found that the concierge was still staring at him, as if there was something dirty on his face.
He entered Zhou's house and looked at the Hou's Mansion next door. He felt that this place was really nice. It was so close to the Hou's Mansion. It would be better if there was no wall.
If he lived here, he might climb the wall to find Gu Xiyan.
In fact, Zhou Mu's idea is very simple.
Xu Yanqing is a good person and a good official. Since he decided to help his father, he had to deal with all kinds of people in the government.
Xu Yanqing wanted to make friends with him, but he couldn't push him away, lest he push Xu Yanqing towards Zhou Xing.
Furthermore, Gu Xiyan and Xu Yanqing had talked it out. Xu Yanqing had no intention of Gu Xiyan, so there was no need for him to treat Xu Yanqing as an enemy.
Xu Yanqing didn't know what Zhou Mu was thinking. He entered the Zhou Mansion and found that the mansion was not as grand as the Marquis Wanqing Mansion next door, but it covered a large area and had many pavilions and pavilions.
"Is there no one else in Brother Zhou's house?" Xu Yanqing found that the Zhou family was very quiet as soon as he came in.
Apart from Cai Yu who was guarding the door, Qi Zhiyuan, and Aunt Yin, not even a single maid could be seen.
"The population in my house is simple." Zhou Mu always spoke coldly and sparingly.
Xu Yanqing was very curious: "May I ask if Brother Zhou has any other brothers and sisters? Where are Brother Zhou's parents?"
What kind of family does it take to cultivate Zhou Mu's airy demeanor, Zhou Mu's indescribable temperament, and Zhou Mu's handsome face?
"My mother has passed away. My father is usually very busy and doesn't live with me. As for my other brothers and sisters, they have their own places to live, and I don't live with them." Zhou Mu took Xu Yanqing to the teahouse.
