Farmhouse Green Plum

Chapter 528 Euphemism

Yuan Shan also thought this method was very good, but she was worried that she was not knowledgeable enough and had not considered it carefully enough. Now that she heard her brother say this, the last trace of worry in her heart disappeared.

She said, "I don't know how to get the Chen family to go to Qingfeng Temple to match their horoscopes, so I told grandma that Qingfeng Temple is effective. Grandma went to Qingfeng Temple to match your and Song Ying's horoscopes, and the results were very good. Do you think grandma would let the Chen family go when they come to pick up the engagement letter..."

Before he could finish his sentence, a loud exclamation suddenly rang out from next door, "What?!"

The sudden sound scared Yuan Shan so much that she became angry and scared. Someone was actually eavesdropping!

If the Chen family knew about their plan, the marriage would be impossible to get rid of!

Her face turned pale, and before she could react, the door was pushed open and Shen Jing rushed in, "Why are you matching your brother's horoscopes with Song Ying?"

It turned out to be Master Shen. Yuan Shan felt a little relieved. He was her brother's friend and would not send a message to the Chen family.

She was a little puzzled by Shen Jing's question and felt that this Mr. Shen was not very smart.

"Of course it's about marriage."

Otherwise, why would a man and a woman match their horoscopes?

Shen Jing looked at Yuan Qing, angry and shocked, "How could you discuss marriage with Song Ying?"

Yuan Qing was very calm and asked, "Why can't I?"

"You know I like her, how can you take someone else's love away?"

Yuan Shan:!!!

What did she hear? Master Shen likes Song Ying?!

"She doesn't like you. Relationships require mutual affection. This is just wishful thinking on your part."

Shen Jing's nose was crooked with anger. "She doesn't like me, so could she like you?"

Yuan Qing raised her eyebrows. "Isn't it obvious? If she didn't like me, she wouldn't have gotten engaged to me."

"You—impossible! Her family must have agreed to it without telling her. Marriages are all decided by parents and matchmakers. That's right! Sister Song Ying doesn't like you!"

Yuan Qing had a look on her face that said, "Don't deceive yourself." "Song Ying has always had her own opinions. If she disagrees, no matter what the family thinks, it will be useless."

Shen Jing was speechless and couldn't find any words to refute.

Sister Song Ying was indeed the most opinionated girl he had ever met. When they first met, she made her own decision on buying a copy of calligraphy, and others could only give her advice.

Since we met, every incident has proven that she is a person with strong opinions.

"Then... then you can't agree to it! We are best brothers. Since you know I like her, even if she doesn't like me now, you can't agree to the marriage proposal! Don't bully a friend's wife. Are you still a good brother?"

"What you said is inappropriate. You two have been just ordinary friends from the beginning to the end. There is no relationship. She is not your wife. We are in love with each other, so why shouldn't I agree? It was me who took the initiative to propose marriage."

Yuan Shan was shocked again. Her brother actually liked Song Ying?

But on second thought, she felt that it was quite reasonable. If she didn't like him, she wouldn't take the initiative to ask her family to propose marriage.

"You also like Miss Song Ying?" Shen Jing became even angrier. He hadn't noticed it before. No, he had discovered some clues, but they were quickly dispelled by Yuan Qing's reasons.

"Brother Yuan, you're going too far. We're all scholars. Even if there's a fight, it should be a gentleman's fight. Since you also like Song Ying, you should tell me clearly and let's compete fairly."

Yuan Qing said angrily: "She is not an object. Whoever wins will get the reward."

"I didn't say that. Anyway, you shouldn't have kept it from me and done something bad secretly to ruin my chances with Song Ying."

Yuan Qing: "..."

This guy kept talking in front of Song Ying, not giving him a chance to interrupt. You would have thought he and Song Ying were from the same hometown.

Who is actually doing bad things?

"What have I done wrong?"

Shen Jing opened his mouth and found that he really couldn't remember.

Yuan Qing continued, "Besides, who said I didn't tell you that I like Song Ying? I did tell you, but you just didn't notice."

"When did you say that?" Shen Jing was suspicious. It was such an important matter, he certainly couldn't help but take it seriously. If Yuan Qing had said it, he would definitely not forget it.

Yuan Qing slowly opened the bookcase and took out a short, wide-mouthed red clay flowerpot with a small seedling planted in it.

"Let's get down to business. What are you doing with this piece of grass?" Shen Jing was furious. He was so angry, and that guy actually had the mind to fiddle with his piece of grass. "Hurry up and tell me, what did you tell me? Why don't I remember?"

"What kind of seedling is this?" Yuan Qing asked.

"Nonsense, the tree you planted with that plum seed must be a plum sapling!" Shen Jing felt that Yuan Qing was lying. He had never said anything about it, so he was talking nonsense.

He once carried a green plum with him, but it shriveled up, so he peeled off the flesh and only took the core.

But within two days, he found a flowerpot and planted the seed in the soil. At that time, his classmates thought it would not survive, but he did not expect that it would sprout more than two months later and has now grown a few small leaves.

This guy is also very precious. He takes him with him wherever he goes and even didn't leave him behind when he went to the college entrance examination.

Yuan Qing held up the small flowerpot and said, "Song Ying and I have been childhood sweethearts. I carry this plum seedling with me. Don't you understand why?"

Shen Jing was stunned. So he had said that before, and he was referring to this?!

"That's too subtle. Who could have guessed?"

"Brother Lu guessed it."

Shen Jing couldn't believe it.

Yuan Qing raised his hand and gently wiped a young leaf. "You can go ask him."

"That doesn't count! You're being too subtle. Who else but the sharp-eyed ones like you would notice? Besides, you know I never pay attention to these details, so why don't you just tell me directly?"

"A girl's reputation is more important than anything else. How can such things be discussed openly before a marriage is finalized?"

Shen Jing had nothing to say, but was still angry. He slammed the door and left.

If you can’t tell it to outsiders, can you not tell it to your good brother too?

He also took Sister Song Ying's reputation into consideration and never made it public, but he told his brother Yuan Qing clearly.

Yuan Shan swallowed, "Brother, can you and Mr. Shen no longer be friends?"

"No, he will think it through. You wait here for me. I will go find the teacher to get the seal and complete the school admission procedures. Then we will go home together. I will be with grandma."

Yuan Shan agreed.

Shen Jing held his breath, walked out of the teahouse and went straight to Huichuntang. He wanted to find Song Ying, ask him about his feelings in person, and express his own feelings.

Since Yuan Qingxian is not kind, we can't blame him for disregarding brotherhood.

Humph, it’s just an engagement, not a marriage yet, so nothing can be certain!
