Chapter 519 Inviting Wei Yao to Cruise the Lake

When Jiang Mushi heard the other party stuttering, he was happy at first, but then he became unhappy.

This is the person that Wei Yao's uncle and aunt introduced to her? This is too much of an insult!

Hearing his elder sister's suggestion, he immediately responded, "That's right, since we've met, let's eat together."

"This, this is not good. We are almost done eating."

"Then let's drink tea together. We're not very hungry." Jiang Mushi spoke immediately.

"I think it's great. It's lively with more people." Wei Yao said.

The man frowned and looked at Wei Yao, "But I, I want to take you to see my shop, we have to hurry up."

"We only agreed to have a meal together. You didn't say which shop you wanted to visit." Wei Yao frowned.

"I have many shops. If you want something, I can give it to you. Give it to you..."

"What I mean is that we only agreed to have this meal together. As for looking at the shop, you didn't plan to do so in advance..."

"Just say no now, that's enough!" The man interrupted Wei Yao directly, revealing his impatience with Wei Yao's question.

Jiang Suining looked at the man again. His ordinary face looked a bit ferocious because of his frown, and the scar on his forehead seemed to become even uglier.

Perhaps because he did not get an immediate reply from Wei Yao, the man continued, "Your uncle and aunt said, you, you will listen to me, mine."

Wei Yao couldn't help but look cold, "Since they agreed, then you can take them to see the shop. I don't want to go."

This meal had exhausted her mentally and physically, and she didn't want to look at any more shops. Even if the other party had a mountain of gold and silver, she wouldn't care.

"You, how did you..."

"I'm really sorry, Wei Yao, I can't go with you to see any shops. We have already made an appointment in advance." Jiang Suining interrupted.

"You, have made an appointment?"

"Yes, we agreed to go boating on the lake together this afternoon."

"Then I too..."

"My sister's fiancé is here too. He's an important official in front of the emperor and has a bad temper. He's most annoying when people don't keep their promises or come uninvited. If you annoy him, you might not be able to stay in the imperial city. Are you sure you want to go with us?" Jiang Mushi said to the man.

When the latter heard this, a look of nervousness appeared on his face and he retreated.

"Well, forget it then."

"Okay, I think it's almost time. Since you've finished eating, we'll leave first. Mu Shi, go settle the bill. Consider this meal Wei's treat."

"Okay." Jiang Mushi immediately turned around to pay the bill, not giving the other party any chance to refuse.

When I came back after paying the bill, the man was just getting up to leave, and I realized that he was limping as he walked.

Jiang Mushi couldn't hold back his expression any longer, and after the man left the restaurant, he said to Wei Yao.

"Your uncle and aunt are really going too far. They are introducing such a person to you!"

Wei Yao smiled bitterly, "His family is rich."

"What's so great about being rich? My family is rich!"

After saying this, Jiang Mushi felt a little embarrassed as he felt the gazes of several people looking at him, and he coughed.

"That's not what I meant, it's just that this person is really not worthy of you at all!"

Wei Yao shook her head, looking helpless, "Except for my status as a female official, I don't have anything to show for myself. Perhaps others may think that I am not worthy of him."

Jiang Mushi said without hesitation: "Who said that? You are smart, tenacious, have ideas and goals. You came to the imperial city alone and became a female official on your own without any help. Isn't that good enough!"

Wei Yao stared at Jiang Mushi blankly. After coming to her senses, she shook her head and said, "You think too highly of me. I'm not as good as you say."

"Of course you do. In addition to what I said, you have many other advantages. You are also good-looking. Your conditions are far better than that man's!"

Feeling everyone's gazes on him, especially his elder sister's smiling look, Jiang Mushi blushed a little, but looking at Wei Yao, he still insisted.

"In short, you are very good, very good, don't underestimate yourself!"

Wei Yao couldn't help but blush a little when she was looked at with such eyes, and she looked away uncomfortably.

Jiang Suining looked at the two of them and said with a smile: "Mu Shi is right, A Yao, there are many women with good family backgrounds in this imperial city, but there are few like you who dare to take risks and do things for your goals. You are really great."

Wei Yao felt as if her heart was gently twisted. It didn't hurt, but it felt a little sour, and a warmth soon spread over the place where it was twisted.

"I'll remember that, Sui Ning, Master Jiang, thank you."

"You're welcome. And I've said before, don't call me Mr. Jiang. Since you and my elder sister are good friends, you can do the same as her. Just call me Mu Shi."

Wei Yao lowered her eyes and nodded, "Okay, Mu Shi."

They moved to another table and ordered some food. Wei Yao was feeling aggrieved and didn't eat much during the meal. She ate some more with Jiang Suining and the others.

After they finished eating and left the restaurant, Jiang Suining learned that Wei Yao had nothing to do in the afternoon, so he simply invited her to go boating on the lake together.

"Lord Shen invited you, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for me to follow him."

"There's nothing wrong with that. Your uncle and aunt now know where you live. They might come looking for you this afternoon. You might as well avoid them."

Jiang Mushi also advised: "Sister is right. I think the man just now is not respectful. He might be unhappy and will go to your uncle and aunt to complain. Let's go boating on the lake. Although it is cold now, I heard that the sycamore trees in the suburbs are very beautiful. The lights on the lake in the evening are also good. Let's take a walk to relax."

Jiang Suining looked at Jiang Mushi with amusement, wondering who was talking about the fun of boating in the lake in such a cold weather.

Feeling the teasing look from his elder sister, Jiang Mushi touched his nose guiltily and winked at his elder sister.

Jiang Suining understood the meaning, but did not respond immediately. He just looked at Jiang Mushi with a smile in his eyes.

Jiang Mushi had no choice but to take the initiative and say, "Sister, why don't I go too? It just so happens that I have nothing to do this afternoon, and it would be a bit awkward if Wei Yao went boating with you alone."

Wei Yao was hesitating about this point, and when she heard Jiang Mushi say this, she looked at Jiang Suining.

Indeed, if Jiang Mushi also went, it would not be so embarrassing.

Jiang Suining heard what he wanted to hear and agreed with a smile, "Okay, you've thought it through, so let's go together. Ayao, what do you think?"

Wei Yao also agreed, and the few of them started heading towards the lake on the outskirts of the city.

When getting on the carriage, Jiang Suining deliberately walked slowly, fell behind, and spoke to Jiang Mushi in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"Do you think boating on the lake is great, or do you think the people you're boating with are great?"
