Jiang Qingyang raised his head. He was wearing a purple robe and a red rope. His appearance was similar to the one in the newspaper. It couldn't be him.
The man was a little embarrassed and introduced himself: "Hello, my name is Liu Yuexi. The dance is about to end. I see your place is quite empty. Can I sit down for a while? I'm a little tired after working all night."
The person he was looking for came to his door. Qingyang could not restrain his joy, "Of course, please take a seat, Lord Liu."
"Oh, you know me." Liu Yuexi answered with interest.
Nonsense, you are my prey. Jiang Qingyang was secretly proud. He used almost all his enthusiasm and quickly became warm with Liu Yuexi. The two chatted very speculatively, and even time became much faster. The music started, and it was today.
During the last dance of the evening, seeing Liu Yuexi's unresponsiveness, Qingyang was so anxious that she wanted to stamp her feet. What did this person mean? He didn't even ask me to dance. She had no choice but to muster up her courage and stand up first, "Liu Yuexi."
Lord, can I ask you to dance this last dance tonight?"
This move was very bold and violated the etiquette of the dance. Liu Yuexi looked at the other party’s eager eyes and then looked at the strange looks around her. It was hard to refuse. The girl’s face could not be broken. She stood up straight and walked quickly to Qingyang.
First, "I'm rude. I wonder if I have the honor to ask Miss Qingyang to dance this last dance."
Liu Yuexi took the initiative to help her out, which made Qingyang feel a warm feeling in her heart. She nodded and stretched out her hand. As Liu Yuexi came to the center of the dance floor, the music officially started, and the men and women on the dance floor danced gracefully.
"You dance so well."
"Your response is also very good." The two complimented each other.
Jiang Qingyang knew that this was her last chance and she had to seize it. She leaned into Liu Yuexi's ear and said, "Lord Liu hasn't married yet."
"Not married yet."
"Can you marry me?" Liu Yuexi stumbled and was shocked by the other party's boldness. "What did you say?"
Qingyang continued: "I am the legitimate daughter of Uncle Su Yi's family. I have a good talent for magic. As far as I know, your Red Cloud Tree does not have a magician yet, and I need a large amount of tuition to go there."
To complete my studies at Pointed Hat College, my family also needs the support of a big benefactor. I wonder if Lord Liu has any intention."
Liu Yuexi remained silent. She was so direct. This girl was probably in a desperate situation. Otherwise, a young lady from an aristocratic family would never do such a ridiculous thing. However, this political marriage deal seems to be quite satisfactory.
, the other party made great efforts to investigate themselves.
It wasn't until the last dance was over that he took Qingyang's hand and returned to his seat. This time he didn't sit down. The busybodies around him were actually staring at this place. In the aristocratic social circle, there was only such little gossip. How could Qingyang?
This almost desperate move is like shining a bright light on herself in the darkness. This girl is betting on her own reputation. If she succeeds, her destiny will change, but if she fails, she will fall into the abyss.
Liu Yuexi thought about it for a long time. In fact, in terms of family background, Su Yibo is more prominent than Situ Ming, so it is an ideal choice. Things are getting more and more interesting. "Miss Qingyang, thank you for your kindness to me."
Trust is a life-long matter. I need to discuss it with my mother. I will go back to Emerald Town in the next few days. If the girl can trust me, please give me some time, two weeks at most. After I have been busy for a while, I will come to visit you.
"Yes." Liu Yuexi's words were very tactful. She didn't agree or say no, so she had a lot of room for maneuver.
At the end of the dance, Situ Xueli came over, took Liu Yuexi's hand, and said coquettishly: "Brother Yuexi, I'm tired, let's go back early." Liu Yuexi nodded and said politely.
He said, "Miss Qingyang, it's nice to meet you tonight. We'll see you next time." Jiang Qingyang stood up and said goodbye.
On the contrary, Xueli seemed rude to this fellow school girl, even a little aggressive. She raised her chin slightly and deliberately hooked Liu Yuexi's hand, like a victorious lark, entangled in her
The spoils of war made Jiang Qingyang jealous. She was really an arrogant girl, but Liu Yuexi was present, so she had to keep her image and endure it.
Situ Xueli showed off for a while. The dance ended and the guests left one after another. Liu Yuexi put on her coat and the waiter brought the Nine Crows for safekeeping. The two of them just went out to go back. King Yan stood there
Waiting for him at the door. The other party took the initiative to come up and say hello, "This must be Miss Xueli from the Situ family. She is really beautiful and lovely. No wonder Lord Liu is so nervous when he sees it. It is understandable." Liu Yuexi had a black line on her head, thinking about this
He is an opaque guy, but Xue Li is not angry at the other party's nonsense at all, "Lord Yan Wang is really a funny person."
"Oh, Miss Sydney recognizes me."
Situ Xueli responded generously, "No one knows about the eldest son of the Yan family. I don't even want to read your deeds in Wangjing. I think it would be very difficult for several major newspapers in Wangjing without you."
It’s hard, since the news of your engagement to the second lady of Jin Yu’s family came out, I don’t know how many famous ladies have been wiping tears for you late at night.”
King Yan shook his head in admiration, "It seems that my brother has a good taste. Sister Xueli is not only beautiful, but also eloquent. I need to keep a closer eye. I wonder if I can borrow your brother Yuexi, just a little girl?"
Okay, okay." After saying this, King Yan even curtsied gracefully.
Xue Li let go generously, and Liu Yuexi was pulled aside. King Yan asked, "Why did you leave without saying a word? Did you not like the party I arranged?"
Liu Yuexi blushed slightly when she thought of the beautiful scene just now, "I'm not very used to such scenes, the scale is a bit big, I'm afraid something will happen."
King Yan disagreed, "What does this mean? You have to get used to it. Don't keep thinking that they are all noble ladies or something. There are only men and women there. After a while, when the Dionysus Festival arrives, Lord Yafei will personally host it, and I will take the lead again."
You go and gain some knowledge, what you do today is really nothing."
Liu Yuexi's mind was confused. This is nothing. You nobles are really ridiculous. He changed the topic and said, "Ao Sheng's injury is okay."
"It's okay. I asked for it. It'll be fine in a few days. Don't worry, I'm here and there won't be any side effects. That's how we people in the Benniu Club are. We talk directly about anything and don't hide it. But you
The move that knocked him away just now was really amazing and conquered many people. Why do I feel that your martial arts skills have become different? Did the old count teach you some powerful moves?"
Liu Yuexi just smiled and said nothing. He was afraid of this overly enthusiastic man. Originally, King Yan had a very good impression on him. Although he was very domineering, the last time Liu Yuexi extorted money for his decoction and medicine showed that he was
A generous man with strong strength, Liu Yuexi liked him very much, but just now, after he defeated Ao Sheng, King Yan revealed an exciting story at the party held for him by a noble lady.
information.
Yan Xiangwen died. Just because he was involved in a little bit of the Chaos Sect, King Yan forced his younger brother to death without hesitation. Liu Yuexi knew very well about the Chaos Sect. It was actually very serious that Yan Xiangwen was involved.
It's far-fetched. This cult has an unclear relationship with the old aristocracy. If we really want to say that it is related, no one from the old aristocratic family has escaped. But for such a trivial matter, King Yan has no mercy for his younger brother.
Such a person was too scary. Liu Yuexi found an excuse to leave because he didn't dare to play with the noble lady. In fact, it was King Yan who he was afraid of.
Liu Yuexi accompanied Xue Li back to Situ's Mansion. Along the way, Xue Li was chatting about boring things at the dance. She also talked about Jiang Qingyang and Uncle Su Yi's family from time to time. She was like a little spy. Originally, Liu Yuexi
Yuexi also wanted to find someone to check Jiang Qingyang's background. Now it seems that it is completely unnecessary. Xue Li said it in great detail. Liu Yuexi was already considering whether to give this girl a consulting fee. Of course, he did not reveal a word about it.
The content of Qingyang's conversation was just following Xue Li's wishes to give a reasonable explanation for her chance encounter with Qingyang.
Jiang Qingyang's situation is worthy of sympathy. She is an independent-minded noble girl who wants to change her destiny through her own efforts. For such a good girl to marry a dying old marquis, all unreasonable behavior at the ball will be ignored.
It all makes sense.
Xue Li noticed that Liu Yuexi was a little absent-minded, "Brother Yuexi, am I talking too boringly?"
Liu Yuexi came back to her senses, "No, as long as it's from Sister Xueli, I like to listen to it. By the way, how are you getting along with Lan Yue? Have fun."
Xue Li was not happy when she mentioned this good-for-nothing, and the woman's attitude changed.
Once it starts to change, it is difficult to reverse it. Now she is getting more and more tired of looking at Lan Yue. She always compares Lan Yue and Liu Yuexi unconsciously. The weight of the two people in her heart keeps tilting like a scale.
The aristocratic status that Lan Yue relies on the most has become less important. Compared with a rich generation with real power, a rich second generation who is restricted in every way is not very attractive.
The carriage stopped in front of Situ Ming's mansion. Yue Xi helped Situ Xueli get out of the car. She was about to go in. Xueli suddenly turned around and asked playfully: "Brother Yuexi, I have nothing to say to you if I'm going in."
Tell me."
Liu Yuexi was a little dazed. This beautiful girl once made him dream about her. Although many changes have happened, the heart-warming memories are still there. She blurted out, "It's a pity that I couldn't dance with my sister today. I hope
I can ask my sister out next time I come to Wangjing."
Xue Li blinked, "Okay, I'll wait for Brother Yue, come in. You can come back too."
Liu Yuexi still stood, "Sister, please go in. I will leave when I can't see you anymore."
The little girl walked home happily, looking back from time to time. On the second floor of the mansion, Mr. and Mrs. Situ were there, "Master, it seems that our daughter had a lot of fun today. Master, don't worry, I will have a good time with Xue Li later."
Let’s talk.”
Situ Ming was very pleased that Liu Yuexi didn't pay too much attention to what happened last time. He had to seize the opportunity to make amends. He knew exactly how much his daughter's half-hearted alchemist was. Finding a good family for his only daughter was his current priority.
Lan Yue really doesn't have to think about the most troublesome thing. Even if Secretary-General Lan can support his plan, there are other things he can think of to solve compared to his daughter's life-long issues.
Xue Li returned to her boudoir, and her mother was already waiting for her. She and her mother had a very close and casual relationship, "Xue Li is back, how was the Lihua Ball?"
The little girl pursed her lips and said innocently: "Actually, it doesn't mean anything." After that, she told her mother all the interesting things she met at the dance. Mrs. Situ listened carefully and asked: "You mean... Liu Yuexi?"
Have you not shown up since you brought me to Lan Yue?"
"Well, yes, I heard that Benniu Club wanted to recruit him to join the club. I saw King Yan dragging him away. When I left, I even said a few words to King Yan. It was really similar to what the newspaper said.
.”
Mrs. Situ thought for a moment: "It's indeed different. I'm sorry for you."
Xue Li was puzzled: "Mom, why are you looking so wrong?"
Mrs. Situ asked again: "How are you getting along with Lan Yue?"
Xue Li was bored as soon as he heard it, "Don't mention it, it's just polo. He knows that playing polo endlessly has nothing to do. Brother Yuexi is busy developing enclaves, rectifying military affairs and improving strength every day.
Lan Yue knows that he doesn't do his job properly when it comes to big things, which is really disappointing."
Mrs. Situ was interested in hearing this and asked: "Brother, it seems that our little Xueli is also a duplicitous person. Who told me last time that I would not like him."
"Mother." Xueli, who was exposed, pushed her mother coquettishly.
Mrs. Situ was also happy, "Okay, shake it again and I'll faint. Speaking of which, your father has good taste. Liu Yuexi is now the dictator of the second town. The provincial government will make some big moves in the cloister area.
, he will be the leader in several projects. If he can lay a foundation in the Grand Corridor District, the red robe will not escape. If he can really become a knight in the future, even if he fails, as long as it is a high-level wreath, it will not be too big to be awarded a knighthood.
Big problem, I heard from your father that he is planning a trip to Tianyao Island to develop in the New World."
Xue Li was very disappointed, "That means I won't be able to see anyone for a long time."
Mrs. Situ reminded her: "Xueli, all men with careers are like this. They will not accompany your children every day. You have to understand. Also, Liu Yuexi is not the stupid boy back then. I like him."
There will be no shortage of people, the Jiang Qingyang you mentioned is all posted here, you are really not ashamed, you have to hold on to it."
Situ Xueli was very confident. She had never thought about what Liu Yuexi thought of her. She just thought that Yuexi was still the clumsy suitor back then.
