After this group of people came forward with whips, they ignored the frightened ordinary people around them and controlled the speed of the horses. The leader ordered the tall horse to stop in front of the Xie family's boat.
Only then did the crowds of people around the pier see clearly what the other party was wearing and who they were, and they immediately knelt down.
Turning a blind eye to these people kneeling on the ground, the visitor glanced at Xie Mingdai, who was already on the ship's steps, and then looked at Xie Juan.
Xie Mingjin, who was blocked by Ben.
The leader smiled but said nothing.
That kind of smile makes people feel very uncomfortable. Even if this person is born noble and handsome, the rampant lust in his eyes is annoying.
Ming Jin looked at him quietly and said nothing.
The wind on the river is particularly strong at the pier, and the weeping willows on the shore are swaying in the wind, but the tone of this noble man is like climbing the moss piled on the stone slabs in this elegant capital for many years.
Disgusting fishy smell.
Moreover, the most terrifying thing is that it is extremely adherent and difficult to eradicate, like fishy moss growing on the eyes.
"Ah Jin, I remember that you once said that you would not look down on me no matter what. You have always been someone who doesn't like to say unpleasant things to others, and you are always willing to give others leeway. I guess I am also disgusted by you.
Only an extreme person would be willing to say such harsh words."
"I was so sad when you left."
The words were affectionate, but they were also frivolous and offensive. Xie Mingyue felt it especially - the way the other party looked at Ming Jin was like a wolf looking at a lamb, wanting to devour it.
Sure enough, the next second this person went on to say: "Now it seems that you are still going to be my king's woman. I think, if you are so upright and self-possessed, you will definitely be able to manage my backyard and become my good wife."
"
In fact, there is nothing wrong with the words 1, 2, and 3. It is not subtle at best and violates the etiquette. However, the other party is a relative of the emperor. Originally, the restraint of etiquette on them is limited, but it is really offensive to a top family like the Xie family.
, at most, you can only comfort yourself with the fact that the other person really likes Mingzhen and can't control it?
Xie Mingyue and others could only suppress their discomfort and say nothing, but they did not expect the person involved to speak.
"Today is an auspicious day. No one is waiting at the gate of Huaxianglou. Why don't you hurry up, Your Majesty?"
King Yan's eyes flashed, he narrowed his eyes, and smiled back, "How dare it wait for me?"
Ming Jin: "I wait for you, but you can't wait for others. After all, you and the prince are not the most noble people in this big city. There are always people who like you."
Most people don't understand what it means, but anyone with some political sensitivity understands it - King Yan is a royal nobleman, but he is the favored younger brother of the late emperor.
, he must have no real power in his hands, and he is also a taboo for the court. His dignity is superficial, and his real power is in the hands of others. There are many people who dare to fight against him.
But it is contradictory to say that in terms of power, he is far inferior to powerful ministers like Xie Yuan, so why does he dare to take Ming Jin by force? Isn't he afraid of offending Xie Yuan?
For this reason, even Xie Li and other insiders of the Xie family assumed that Xie Yuan also approved of the marriage, making the engagement pass its purpose.
Xie Juan and others understood, and the King of Banquet naturally also understood, and his expression became a little gloomy. He looked at Ming Jin viciously, with a slight hook at the corner of his mouth, "Since you are so considerate, A Jin, then I will go first, but I
I have to say something more."
"Ah Jin, when you come in in the future, I will not have much time to go to Hua Xiang Lou."
He glanced at Qian Ji and others who had not yet disembarked from a ship not far away. His eyes were a little darker, but he laughed wantonly, and then he rode away in a noisy way.
As soon as the people left, the originally quiet dock still did not dare to be lively, until the Xie family did not stay long and began to get on the carriage.
Just as Ming Jin was about to get on the carriage, he was suddenly stopped by someone.
"What?" Ming Jin looked at Xie Mingyue and his two siblings.
Xie Mingyue: "Where is Huaxianglou?"
Ming Jin: "Beauty."
Xie Mingyue was shocked, and Xie Mingdai's brother and sister hanging not far behind also had complicated expressions.
"A brothel? He goes to a brothel? You still ask him to go? Then everything you said before was all lies to us! Why is he so nice..."
"Well, yes."
After Xie Mingyue questioned him, she thought Ming Jin would deny it, but no, the latter was so confident.
"You, you, you...you lie so confidently! You usually teach us to be sincere! How can you do this!"
Xie Mingyue was so angry that she puffed her cheeks and glared at Ming Jin.
"It's one thing for me to lie to you. It has no logical conflict with whether I teach you or not. On the contrary, you should be taught more - just like there is chili in the rice I eat and I remind you not to eat it. Do you want to eat it because of me?
Do you have to eat it?" Ming Jin still looked serious and elegant, and when Peony was listening to him, he felt that what his girl said made sense.
What a good sister.
Xie Mingyue: "???"
Fortunately, there was Xie Zhipur, who still grasped the key points.
"It seems that my eldest sister also knows that it is not good to lie and deceive others. Since you have lied to others, shouldn't you apologize? Just because you are the elder sister, you don't have to? You should teach us by setting an example, right?"
Ming Jin glanced at him and said, "If you don't mention it, I will say it anyway. Because I have lied to you, I decided to give you twice as many exercise questionnaires today."
Xie Mingyue: "!!!"
No, I was wrong, I don’t want it!
Xie Zhipuru, who had not yet finished the study papers and articles he had just picked up on the boat two days ago: "...."
He is a very eager to learn, and he wishes that his learning tasks were heavier, but what Mingjin left for him was really too! difficult!
His academic talent, which had made him highly praised in Wuling, suffered a serious setback.
A three-day mission, and he only had one day left. He hadn’t finished the previous days, so here he comes again?!
Xie Zhipuru felt guilty and said toughly, "That would be the best."
"Twice for her, five times for you."
Xie Mingyue, who was originally in despair, was stunned for a moment, and suddenly she felt much relieved, and her complexion improved visibly.
Xie Zhipurin: "...."
——————
The two siblings returned to their carriage with heavy hearts.
Several large boats of the Xie family transported the family. Dafang had his own boat, and the rest were divided on other boats. Mrs. Lin took many family members and children one by one to the carriage and was busy. Xie Mingdai did not go to help. She had just stopped with Xie Zhixiu.
Not far away, probably because of a tacit understanding, the two of them didn't go far, and they could just hear the conversation between the three people in the big room.
Xie Mingdai has always admired Ming Jin's ability to fool people in a serious manner, "Has she always been like this in the capital before?"
Xie Zhixiu frowned, "I don't know, I'm not familiar with her."
Xie Mingdai paused and said, "Brother."
Xie Zhixiu: "Huh?"
"Have you forgotten that in the letters you sent to your family, most of the time you mentioned how smart and powerful Sister Jin is... You mentioned her so much that I thought she was your biological sister."
"...."
