Chapter 121 The Young Master is Really a Green Hand in Relationships
In Shen Yanxi's villa, Yuan Liang reported that Wei Congze was in the gambling house.
"Master, that Young Master Wei not only lies with his eyes open, but he is also a gambler. I really don't know what Miss Jiang sees in him."
Shen Yanxi frowned, "Find a way to pass this news to the Jiang family and let Miss Jiang know."
"Young Master, if you ask me, you should just go and propose marriage directly." Yuan Liang couldn't help but speak.
Compared to that Young Master Wei, the Young Master is definitely more popular. Instead of pointing out Young Master Wei's shortcomings, it would be better to seize the opportunity and take the initiative to let the Jiang family know that the Young Master also likes Miss Jiang. This way, at least he will be within their consideration.
I just don't know if the master and the lady will agree, after all, Miss Jiang comes from a merchant family. But the young master has always had his own ideas, and the master and the lady have always followed the young master's ideas, so there shouldn't be any problems.
"If she really likes Wei Congze, my hasty proposal will only cause her trouble." Shen Yanxi said in a deep voice, "Besides, even if Wei Congze wasn't there, I'm afraid she wouldn't agree to it just like that."
After all, in Jiang Suining's opinion, there was not much contact between him and her, and in her heart, he might not even be considered a friend.
"Master, a woman's marriage is decided by her parents. As long as Miss Jiang's parents agree, the marriage will be settled."
Shen Yanxi glanced at Yuan Liang and said, "Miss Jiang is not a person who blindly follows others. Moreover, marriage is a big deal, so we should respect a woman's wishes and not force her."
"Follow your own wishes?" Yuan Liang thought for a moment, scratched his head and said, "Then I'm afraid you really have to go to the wedding."
As soon as these words came out, Shen Yanxi's face darkened again, and his brows furrowed even tighter.
Yuan Liang looked at his young master and couldn't help shaking his head. The young master had always been a decisive person, so why did he become so fussy now?
"Master, when did you fall in love with Miss Jiang?"
Shen Yanxi was silent. In fact, he didn't know the details. Even at the beginning, he didn't realize that he fell in love with Jiang Suining.
He just paid special attention to Jiang Suining's news. He was displeased when he saw Zhou Yihong pestering her, happy when he heard her encouragement, and disappointed when he didn't receive the invitation to her coming-of-age ceremony. But he still wanted Yuanliang to send a gift...
Also, at the entrance to the Imperial Examination Hall, when he saw Jiang Suining and Wei Congze getting on the same carriage, and learned that Wei Congze and she might be discussing marriage, he became nervous, flustered, and even... a little jealous!
When he saw Jiang Suining talking to Wei Congze with a smile on his face in the restaurant, he suddenly realized that he liked Jiang Suining. At that moment, he wished that the person sitting in front of Jiang Suining was himself, not Wei Congze!
I was too slow and didn't find opportunities to show up in front of Jiang Suining more often. Even when I passed by Ningxiuguan and Ningmozhai several times, I wanted to find Jiang Suining, but I felt that there seemed to be no reason to give up.
And if Jiang Suining really got engaged to someone else...
Looking at his young master's brows that were almost twisted into knots, Yuan Liang sighed in his heart.
Although the young master is smart and talented, he is still a rookie when it comes to liking women. Let him teach him!
"Master, it's useless for you to think too much now. The best way is to tell Miss Jiang your feelings directly. I have experience in this matter, so just listen to me!"
"Do you have experience?" Shen Yanxi looked at Yuan Liang suspiciously, "Where did you get your experience?"
"Master, you don't know? It's me and Xiao Cui from the kitchen! I've liked her for two years. We are a perfect match. I plan to ask the master and the mistress to marry Xiao Cui to me in half a year."
I think he was bold in expressing his feelings at the beginning. Although Xiao Cui didn't like him and was annoyed by him at first, she was gradually moved by him and even gave him a pair of boots she made by herself a few days ago.
Shen Yanxi was stunned for a moment, "Are you talking about Xiao Cui who is in charge of washing vegetables in the kitchen?"
"Yes, it's her!" Yuan Liang couldn't help but smile when he mentioned Xiao Cui.
Shen Yanxi looked at his servant with complicated eyes, "Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"
"Of course!" Yuan Liang said without hesitation, "Master, how could I mistake my beloved for someone else?"
"But she's getting married."
"What?" Yuan Liang was stunned, then he said, "Master, please stop joking. I haven't asked Madam yet, how can Xiao Cui get married?"
"The day before the imperial examination began, when I went to my mother's room, I happened to hear her talking to her about getting married, saying that..."
Without waiting for his young master to finish his words, Yuan Liang's face lit up and he said with great joy: "I didn't expect Xiao Cui to be more anxious than me. But how can I let her bring up this matter first? I should go to the lady first."
Seeing Yuan Liang's delight, Shen Yanxi hesitated for a moment, but continued, "The groom is not you."
"Master, please don't talk nonsense. Besides my servant Xiao Cui, who else can she..."
"The groom is her childhood sweetheart, her cousin. I heard that he has saved enough money to redeem Xiao Cui from the mansion, so Xiao Cui is asking her mother to let her go so that she can marry her cousin."
"How is this possible? I have never heard her say she wants to leave, and I have never heard that she has any cousin. I..."
Yuan Liang tried hard to prove that Shen Yanxi must have made a mistake, but looking at the expression on his young master's face, he felt more and more guilty the more he spoke, and finally he froze in place.
The young master would definitely not joke with him about this kind of thing. Could it be that Xiao Cui really...
Shen Yanxi sighed, "Go back home. If the person hasn't left yet, ask them clearly."
Yuan Liang's eyes turned red, and he turned and ran towards the gate of the villa, but he stopped after running for a while and ran back again, "Master, what about passing the message to Miss Jiang..."
"Don't worry about it. I'll go there myself."
Although Yuan Liang's so-called experience... seems to have failed, what he said does make sense. Instead of thinking about it here, it would be better to go to Jiang Suining and express his feelings in person.
Now that the decision has been made, Shen Yanxi no longer hesitated and became more determined.
But since it is too late today, I can only wait until the next day to visit.
That night, Shen Yanxi rarely felt that time was so long. He tossed and turned in bed. Finally, it was the next day. He carefully selected a set of clothes. Knowing that Jiang Suining had been staying in Ningxiu Pavilion and Ning Mo Zhai recently, he went to Ning Mo Zhai first to try his luck.
Unexpectedly, I had good luck and met Jiang Suining just as I arrived at the entrance of Ning Mo Zhai.
"Mr. Shen, long time no see." Jiang Suining greeted him with a smile.
