The daily life of a concubine's daughter

Chapter 326 Flirting with a Girl

Tang Zhan: “…”

So angry!

As they were both former blind date partners, why didn’t the second sister invite him out with her, but invited Jiang Miao instead?

What's good about Jiang Miao?

If the emperor had not granted the marriage, Jiang Miao would have been defeated by him!

"Mingchen, I saw my second sister, and Jiang Miao, did you see them? They are there! Jiang Miao is a weak scholar, how can he protect her? I'm going downstairs..."

Click!

The little nun turned around and threw an embroidered handkerchief to Bo Yinghao, who grabbed it and hid it in his arms. Shi Mingchen's eyes were hurt by the sting and he finally crushed the teacup in his hand.

Tang Zhan turned around in surprise and hurriedly shook Shi Mingchen's wrist to shake off the broken porcelain pieces in his palm: "Mingchen, what's wrong with you? Why are you in a daze? Your hand is bleeding!"

Shi Mingchen took a deep breath, hid his injured hand behind his back, and said with a forced smile: "The tea in the restaurant is too hot, and the teacup was burned. I will go and treat the wound. Master Xiao Tang, please do as you please."

After saying that, he turned around and went downstairs first.

Tang Zhan followed behind anxiously, "Hey! Why are you calling me Little Master Tang again? We are close in age, didn't we agree to call each other brothers and call each other by our first names? You look very upset, are you okay? Is your injury serious? Mingchen? Mingchen?"

Shi Mingchen wanted to make friends with him, but he was distracted at the moment and had no energy to pay attention to him.

Seeing that he always ignored him, Tang Zhan chased him to the entrance of the restaurant. He saw him get into the Shi family's carriage in a daze, so he ignored him and turned around to chase Shi Yao's carriage.

Shi Mingchen is a grown man who was born and raised in Beijing. How could he lose himself?

What is even more worrying is that Shi Yao grew up in Jinling and is unfamiliar with the capital.

*

On the crowded street, Jiang Miaosheng was holding his horse helplessly, wanting to cover his face and run away.

He never knew that Shi Yao could be so crazy in pursuing a top scholar, and she had been chasing him for two blocks.

Three years later, when he took part in the imperial examination, could he also be loved by his cousin?

The officials came back for the third time to drive them away: "This is the parade of the top scholar and the newly-appointed Jinshi. How dare you cut in line? Look at you, what a mess you are in. Is it reasonable to divide the top three and the newly-appointed Jinshi into two groups?"

Jiang Miao covered his face with his sleeves.

It’s outrageous, really outrageous!

Too conspicuous!

No girl in the whole capital is as conspicuous as my cousin!

Shi Yao threw half a car full of flowers, handkerchiefs and peanuts today. Her cheeks were rosy and her eyes were sparkling. Without waiting for Jiang Miao to reply, she smiled shyly and said:

"Brother, brother, don't be angry. We didn't cut in line on purpose. It was someone else who cut in line. We didn't see clearly and followed them accidentally! We want to leave too, but you see, the road is so crowded that there is no place to move! Brother, I'll give you flowers."

Shi Yao gave a big red flower to the yamen runner.

The yamen runner wanted to get angry, but seeing this, he took the flower and pinned it on his ear. It fit him perfectly, so he said, "You must move it at the next intersection, understand? If you don't move it after the superiors give the order, we will help you move it ourselves."

"I know, I remember it, thank you, big brother." Shi Yao bowed and shouted, "Cousin, cousin, hurry up and catch up! Don't let anyone cut in line!"

Jiang Miao looked back at her, becoming more and more disappointed: "Here I come!"

Shi Yao shouted excitedly again: "If you see anyone selling peanuts, remember to buy me a basket of peanuts. Peanuts are light, and if they are covered with mud or stones, they can be thrown farther, but I'm afraid they will hit the top scholar on the back of his head and make him faint."

The onlookers laughed.

Just as Jiang Miao was about to answer, Tang Zhan squeezed over and handed Shi Yao a bag of red dates: "Second sister, dates, dates, this works well!"

Shi Yao happily took it and looked around: "Master Xiao Tang, why are you here too? Oh, I heard that my seventh brother has been trying to please you these days. Where is he?"

Tang Zhan was speechless. Shi Mingchen had no intention of trying to please him. That guy just left him and ran away.

"He had a little skin cut on his hand, so he went to see a doctor. Second sister, I am the steadiest horseman, so I will help you drive the carriage. By the way, the position you found is really great..."

“Ahhh! The number one scholar is looking back at me!” Shi Yao screamed. While smashing the red dates, she and the other girls and women around her screamed at the top of their lungs, “Bo Yinghao! Bo Yinghao! Look at me, look at me!”

The fifty-year-old runner-up: “…”

The forty-year-old scholar: "..."

Tang Zhan: "...Didn't she get married by imperial decree?"

Jiang Miao gave him a helpless look in return.

At the next intersection, the yamen runners came to clear the way.

Shi Yao had a great time today. She turned her horse around contentedly and invited Tang Zhan and Jiang Miao to get in the carriage. She drove herself to a more secluded teahouse in the distance.

Just as he was about to instruct the waiter to tie up the horse, he saw two familiar-looking people walking out of the teahouse.

One is the nobleman Shi Mingchen who is dressed in luxurious clothes, and the other is the beautiful little nun Xie Qingdai who is dressed in black robes.

Xie Qingdai was frantically adjusting her nun's hat. Her hair had obviously grown longer and was now at ear level. She looked angry and embarrassed.

Several maids and servants from the Xie family were trying to stop Shi Mingchen from getting close to Xie Qingdai.

Shi Yao felt something was wrong when she saw this, so she hurried forward and grabbed Shi Mingchen by the collar: "Seventh brother, what are you doing? I've been looking for you everywhere in the mansion, come back with me!"

Shi Mingchen's face turned pale and he said, "Let go! I don't want to do anything, I just want to ask Miss Xie a few words."

Shi Yao snorted, "Miss Xie has nothing to do with you, what do you want to ask? Why don't you ask Second Master Xie, or ask Xie Jibai, but have to ask a girl? Why, you don't have the face to see the Xie family, but you have the nerve to bully a weak girl, right?"

Shi Mingchen's cheeks flushed. "Nonsense! I just, I just didn't run into the Xie family. Let go of me. How can you be so rude to a man on the street? Although you are going to marry a merchant, you should always remember that you are the daughter of a Duke's mansion."

Shi Yao sneered, "I am just following my brother's example. My seventh brother stopped other girls on the street and he was not ashamed but proud of it. Why is it unbecoming for me to stop my own brother?"

Don't ridicule me for marrying a merchant. You can't even marry a merchant. Look at our family. All the sisters-in-law who could run away have run away. Maybe you will be a bachelor for the rest of your life."

Shi Mingchen's face darkened. He glanced at Xie Qingdai's graceful back and scolded in a low voice, "Shut up! I'll teach you a lesson when we get back!"

Shi Yao was not afraid at all: "I will go back to the old master and sue you for molesting a girl in the street!"

Shi Mingchen was furious. He shouldn't have argued with Shi Yao. When had he ever won an argument with her?

This girl is very mean.

He originally sympathized with her wanting to be a businessman's wife, but because of this meanness, he felt sympathy for Xie Jibai instead.

Xie Qingdai was about to vent her anger on Shi Yao, but upon hearing this, her expression softened slightly, with a hint of smile in her eyes. She couldn't help but slow down a few steps and listen to a few more words.

Tang Zhan and Jiang Miao rushed over and bowed to Xie Qingdai.

Xie Qingdai returned the greeting and was about to leave in a hurry when Xie Jibai arrived and hurriedly pulled Xie Qingdai to look her up and down: "Sister, how are you? I heard that Shi Mingchen was pestering you. It's all my fault that I didn't come to pick you up in time."
