C35 (2/2)
Nie Mo dismissed the crowd and then walked in. He was rather satisfied with her performance today, so he asked in a good mood, ”Are you unhappy about it?”
”What about my reward?”
How can I despise you in my heart, can I sell you or eat you!
”I don't have any money to reward you, just return the money to me!” She had hired someone to sell it, so she might even be able to sell it for a few dollars.
”No rewards, no money, not even a purse. You, you obediently stayed in litchi garden today …. Stay away from those stinking men ….”
Nie Mo was tall, he sat, and why was he standing? His gaze just happened to see her fluttering eyelashes. Nie Mo's heart was soft and sweet, as if he would only feel relieved if he rubbed her in his arms.
Nie Mo was not very angry after being beaten up, and quickly hid his hands behind his back, pretending to grab at her hands again.
Why did such a childish action make Nie Mo laugh, causing him to smile throughout the entire ceremony, even though he looked solemn, he looked amiable, his friends and relatives only then did they realise how handsome Nie Mo actually was!
All of a sudden, they were all whispering praises, such as ”a gentleman's dignity”, ”warmth like jade”, ”a jade tree in the wind”, and ”a fresh and handsome man”.
Some busybodies began to consider which girls of suitable age could be made into a pair. It would be a good story if they could be made into a pair …
Normally, Nie Mo would give people a cold feeling, but today was different. When he smiled, his charm was revealed, and gentleness was hidden within his handsomeness.
Because of what happened before, First Lady did her best to arrange the ceremony perfectly. Although the guests that were invited were all relatives, the quality of the banquet was still very high, and even litchi garden's people would have to eat two small tables of noodles. It just so happened that the servants would eat a table, while the maidservants would eat a table.
At the female guest's place, after the First Lady was praised to be well-mannered, someone tried to probe the Grand Lady and asked about Nie Mo's marriage.
The female guest surrounded the old lady and started talking about Nie Mo's marriage. The male guest's place was extremely lively.
Although the majority of the people were relatives, there were still a few who came uninvited, such as Prince Li, Qin Si.
This time, the male guest's feast was in the Outer Academy, far away from the courtyard. Nie Mo was not worried at all.
The Qin Si did not change his attitude, and continued to speak loudly, ”Today, if you wear it like this all the time, it will definitely attract attention, hmm... This bag is not bad. Yo, there's even a carp embroidered on it … ”
If Nie Mo had a palm-leaf fan, he would definitely fan this item to the Blazing Mountain to make a barbecue.
When the Prince Li heard Qin Si's words, his eyes swept across Nie Mo's purse. On the bottom of the bright blue silk thread, there was a tall and short lotus leaf, and under the lotus leaf, it was vividly possible to see five to six tails of golden carp.
Nie Mo laughed but did not reply, he only raised his wine cup and made a ”please” gesture.
How could Nie Mo be willing to let him succeed? Not only did he not manage to catch Qin Si by mistake, he even exposed his indecent actions in front of others.
”Brother Qin?” Nie Mo asked with an astonished look.
Qin Si was slightly embarrassed, he was not sure if Nie Mo was doing this on purpose, it was just that he went to grab Nie Mo's purse just now, if it was some sort of private joke, then it would be fine, but in the public, if others misunderstand what he did to Nie Mo, it would not be good.
The Prince Li smiled, ”A carp leaping over a dragon gate, the meaning of this bag is good, it's perfect for Brother Nie. Come, let's toast. He helped Qin Si relieve the awkwardness.
After the banquet ended, Nie Mo accompanied his father and brother to send off the guests, and the Prince Li walked to Nie Mo's side.
”Speaking of which, Imperial Mother loves this kind of bright red girl the most. This King has been searching for a good embroidery master these past few years. I would like to ask, which embroidery lady did Brother Nie's purse?” I wonder if you would be willing to give up your love? ”
Nie Mo's smile gradually became clearer.
He looked at King Li and said with a hint of regret, ”The prince is so pure and filial, that Jing Yun is far inferior. This purse was embroidered by someone in my room.
Ru Yun's culinary skills were excellent, and her mother liked her as well. It was a pity that her luck was not good enough. She had been scalding her legs a few days ago and had been having cold winds and hot winds for a while.
If the prince really likes it, then after a few days, she will be able to act even faster.
The smile on King Li's face didn't change, ”If a gentleman doesn't take away another's possessions, then that young lady will be injured. Let her take good care of herself, lest she fall sick later on.”
”Yes, I thank the Prince for his consideration on her behalf.”
For a poisonous snake like the clouds, it would use all the opportunities it had to climb up. If it was given to the Li King, Nie Mo was afraid that she would deal with the Nie clan the other way around. Right now, it was good that the Old Granny was holding her hostage.
