C40 (1/2)
Yang Zixuan knew what was going on and immediately waved him off. Shi Shu looked at his young master and Mu Jinzhi nodded, he then retreated, and after knowing that the young masters had important matters to attend to, he brought lass to wait far away.
”Speaking of which, my sister is going to be old age by New Year's Eve. I still remember when she was born, my parents were extremely happy. They only said that she was in a hurry to spend the new year with my parents and brother. She's a pink and tender little girl, but she's already grown up!”
Mu Jinzhi was really sad. To him, Mu Rousang was like a little sister to him, but he also treated him like a daughter.
Yang Zixuan suddenly gulped down a cup of wine and said with a flushed face, ”I know why you're asking! I had intended to wait until now for her to grow up. ”
Even though he was using the alcohol to build up his courage, Yang Zixuan was still afraid that Mu Jinzhi would hesitate because he could not bear to part with Mu Rousang.
Mu Jinzhi did not make a sound, and only said after a long while: ”Big brother Yang, I have always respected you, but your family only...”
He and Yang Zixuan had known each other for a long time, and he knew a little about the troubles in his family. In the past, he didn't feel that anything was wrong, but now that it was Mu Rousang's turn, he felt that it wasn't right.
Yang Zixuan laughed helplessly: ”Jin'i, you must be clear about what I meant by that, so why don't you speak frankly. Jin'i, your sister and I have a good relationship, I admit that I am not talented and would like to ask you to marry Rou Sang as my wife. I don't know you, Jin'e …”
Mu Jinzhi put down the wine cup in his hand with a ”pa” sound and endured his rage as he said: ”Big brother Yang, my sister has always been at ease, everyone has always been deep as the ocean, even though I am a man I can guess at thirty to forty percent, her personality is only suitable for extremely simple families.”
Even so, he might as well make it clear!
”Hibiscus …”
”I call you big brother because I respect you, but I will not recklessly deal with the matters of my sister's life after what I've said today.” If it wasn't for the fact that they were too close, he would have slammed the table and chased her away.
”Jin Zhi, I know you don't want to part with the lotus, but you must have a plan in your heart right now. My father has gotten the news and the Emperor has already sent eunuchs to the provinces to pick the girls.” He recounted what had happened in the capital and what the emperor had planned to do.
”What?” People of the Left were supposed to see Yang Zixuan getting made a fool of by Mu Jinzhi, so he was enjoying the show, but when he heard the news, he became anxious.
”Brother Jin, big brother Yang will definitely not make this up. Although I don't remember the year when I picked the girls, I only calculated that it would only be for the next one or two years. Let's quickly choose a good husband for little cousin!”
Zuo Ren Xian felt heartache for the only little cousin, but after hearing the news, he was so anxious that he was like an ant by a hot pot, circling the table.
Mu Jinzhi secretly shot him a glance, but to no avail. Yang Zixuan had only said a few sentences, and had already lost his composure. He remembered to give him some pointers when he had the chance.
Yang Zixuan was also a smart person. Previously, he didn't have any relationship with Mu Jinzhi, but now, the two of them were clashing secretly, neither side was willing to give up.
One was to protect them tightly while the other one was to obtain them with all they had!
He smiled and said: ”Jin'zhi, you and I are not friends for one or two days. You love and protect your little sister, even if you know me and my brother know this.”
Alright, he threw another piece of candy towards Zuo Ren Xian. Normally, he would call him Zuo Ren, but now, he was calling him Little Bro out of affection.
”That's right, Brother Jin, I think that Big Brother Yang isn't bad. I heard Father say that Big Brother Yang's literary talent surpasses others, and in the future, he will definitely become an outstanding official.”
Zuo Ren Xian was overjoyed, the bamboo tube that was filled with soybeans, did not contain a single bean, and brought out the fact that the Zuo family was optimistic about Yang Zixuan.
He looked at Yang Zixuan and said coldly: ”Even if you say such extravagant words, I am not moved by your words. My little sister is not really suitable to live in that household, and as her brother, she has the responsibility of earning for her wealth.”
”Jin Zhi, if I tell you the truth, will you comply with my request?”
How smart was Mu Jinzhi? When he thought about Mu Rousang's good look in the afternoon, he knew that the two of them must have secretly planned it out …
