Chapter 352: It seems that there is... love
Xiao Yining's sudden appearance instantly attracted everyone's attention. Then, countless obscure and teasing eyes focused on Su Qian'an at the same time, and everyone wanted to see how he would end up.
Pei Yi seemed to be unaware of the subtle atmosphere around him. He held a handkerchief and gently wiped the sweat off the little kid's face. After wiping off the sweat, he slowly raised his eyes, stared at Su Qian'an, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and reminded softly: "Prince Su, my little niece is here, we can start."
His voice was neither too loud nor too soft, but just enough for everyone present to hear it clearly.
Xiao Yining followed the crowd's gaze towards Su Qian'an, and immediately recognized that this man was the fancy "free-range chicken" whom he had seen at the poetry meeting, but today he was dressed very normally, and even looked quite good.
No wonder Pu Fanmeng thinks about him day and night, even at the cost of hurting others.
Su Qian stared at the curious kid and felt that he was in a dilemma. He had forced a kid who had not yet been weaned to comment on his work. If this were to get out, he would probably become a laughing stock in Yanjing City and be ridiculed for years.
But he still didn't give up. He looked at Xie Wan Ning who hadn't left yet and asked, "Sister Xie, is there another Lin Yining here?"
Xie Wan Ning was unaware of his involvement and shook his head and replied, "Brother An, there is only one lady named Lin Yining in this garden, Miss Lin."
Oh, thanks, sister...
Oh no, Brother An...
There was a hint of gossip in Xiao Yining's eyes. Could it be that these two were childhood sweethearts?
However, the next moment, she inexplicably felt disgusted with the two of them.
She faced her fellow villager, glanced at Su Qian'an's increasingly ugly face, and said coquettishly, "Uncle, what are you going to start? Sister Qing still wants to play with her sisters."
As soon as these words fell, Xie Jinzhi stood up and said soothingly, "Don't worry, Miss Lin, it will be done soon. Ah Ning, go to the pavilion and wait for a while, I will send Miss Lin over later."
After Xie Wan Ning's beautiful eyes swept across the faces of several people, the one who lowered her brows and looked pleasant should leave.
At this time, two pieces of calligraphy were unfolded in front of Xiao Yining.
Xie Jinzhi took great care of the little girl and ordered people to hold the statue at the same height as her so that she could see it better.
Then, he squatted beside the little kid and introduced them kindly, "These two calligraphy works, one is written by your cousin, and the other is written by the son of Qi Yuanhou. Miss Lin, which one do you like?"
Xie Jinzhi still took Su Qian'an's face into consideration and did not specify who the owners of the two paintings were.
But the kid could tell at a glance that the one with more words was written by "Brother An", and it contained a love poem from "The Phoenix Seeks the Phoenix" "There is a beautiful woman, ..., ..., ...."
She could figure it out with her toes that if she hadn't been called over for no reason, this poem would have been for "Sister Xie".
Little Yining looked at the word "horse" again and guessed the meaning behind it. His fellow villager was being picked on by the prince.
She glanced at her fellow villager and heard him say, "I noticed earlier that some of the calligraphy works of the senior brothers were not taken back. I think they were left behind by someone they liked."
As soon as he finished speaking, several people around him immediately showed shyness on their faces and responded, "It's just for viewing. It's fine to keep it or take it away."
Pei Yi nodded in understanding, lowered his head and looked at the embarrassed little kid, "Qingjie, if you can't explain it, just take down the one you like."
Then someone else quickly echoed, "That's right, that's right. Miss Lin is still so young, how can she know whether her handwriting is good or bad?"
"It's ridiculous to let such a little guy comment on something." Finally, someone couldn't hold back his dissatisfaction and started to complain in a low voice.
As soon as this person finished speaking, he immediately hid behind the crowd to avoid being swept by Su Qian'an's vicious gaze.
Su Qian urged impatiently, "Ms. Lin, hurry up and choose. This is not the place for you to stay."
Xiao Yining blinked at him, then turned to Xie Jinzhi and said, "Uncle, I like my cousin's calligraphy. Can I take the calligraphy of the Marquis of Qiyuan?"
"Okay... huh?" Xie Jinzhi was stunned by the kid's two irrelevant words.
"Sister Qing, you like Junior Brother Pei's calligraphy, so you should take his." Zhang Liangchuan reminded.
The little kid shook his head and refused, and explained in a baby voice, "I want the prince's name, so that sister Park will know that the prince is in good health. Sister Manman said that sister Park is worried about the prince!"
This reason was impeccable, and everyone showed admiration for the little kid. There was only one family with the surname Pu in Yanjing, and that was Su Qian's fiancée, the daughter of the former Minister of Revenue, who was currently in mourning.
After finishing speaking, Xiao Yining looked at Su Qian with expectation, only to see that the man's already ugly expression became even gloomier.
Then, under the little kid's gaze, the man took the love poem and tore it into pieces without hesitation. "Don't bother with your little brat. I will report to Miss Park that I am safe."
Little Yining stared blankly at the destroyed love poem, pursed her lips in grievance, and cried loudly, "Uncle, the words are gone!"
Pei Yi quickly held the little kid in his arms to comfort him, and looked at Su Qian with dissatisfaction, "What do you mean, Master Su? You've already written it, are you afraid of being seen? My niece also means well."
Su Qianan couldn't help but narrow his eyes when he heard such familiar words. He looked back at the ignorant boy like a hawk and said coldly, "Do you know what happened to the person who spoke to me like this last time?"
Hearing this, Xie Jinzhi's anger, which he had suppressed with great difficulty, surfaced again. He suppressed his anger and asked, "Su Qian'an, Junior Brother Pei is just a child, why do you have to pick on him?"
Su Qian'an's face once again showed a cynical smile. "Don't be angry, I was just bored and was joking with your beloved Junior Brother Pei."
As he said that, he stood up, walked in front of Pei Yi with a dandy step, tapped Pei Yi's shoulder lightly with the folding fan in his hand, and whispered sinisterly, "Today, for the sake of courtesy, I will temporarily forgive you. If you do it again, don't blame me for being rude!"
After saying that, he raised his head, glanced at everyone present, and said in a resentful tone, "Since Zhengli finds me annoying, I'll leave. Have fun, everyone."
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around again, his eyes full of teasing and provocation. Finally, after glancing at Pei Yi meaningfully, he turned around and walked out in a cool manner.
That direction was exactly the direction Xie Wan Ning had just left. When this person passed by 13:, he even scratched her chin with his folding fan.
Little Yining blinked her ignorant eyes and stared at Su Qian'an's back. Is he... going to a tryst? I really want to follow him and take a look!
However, the little girl was the only one who had this idea, and she didn't take her eyes off the figure until it disappeared.
The atmosphere around also became lively due to Su Qian'an's departure.
Xie Jinzhi calmed down and turned to apologize to Pei Yi, "Prince Su came here uninvited today, and I couldn't refuse him. I didn't expect to bring disaster to Junior Brother Pei. It's all my fault. I will offer you an apology later."
"No need, thank you, senior brother. I am here uninvited." Pei Yi replied with a sigh.
Xiao Yining also said, "I am also an uninvited person. I cannot come to your house without a post."
Xie Jinzhi: "..., I will also give Miss Lin a gift of apology at that time."
The kid is satisfied. How can he not be paid when he comes here to be a tool?
