MTL - Mysterious World, I Have Special Understanding-Chapter 42 Actually, I'm here to divorce
Chapter 42 In fact, I came to divorce the engagement
Baifu, the courtyard is deep. The tall sycamore trees in the courtyard cut off most of the cold wind, but the whole courtyard is even more lonely.
The elegantly dressed Mrs. Bai walked slowly along the corridor, her well-maintained face was not happy, and the maid next to her was holding half a piece of moldy sesame seed cake, her eyes were full of puzzled emotions.
She knew that Madam loved cleanliness the most, and this biscuit looked old, which made her, a servant, a little unbearable.
Ji Que sat in the hall of the White Mansion, looked at the elegantly arranged furniture and decorations in the hall, and once again lamented how nice a rich family is.
Yes, he has never been in contact with these things, and he doesn't understand them, but they are very expensive at first glance.
Giving up this marriage contract means giving up a cold rich woman.
Ji Que felt a little pity, but not too pity.
Now he is more nervous.
It was the first time to divorce the engagement, and it was the first time to see the elders talk about the divorce.
It feels like being called to the office by a teacher in a previous life to talk about puppy love.
Following the change of light and shadow at the door, a dignified lady walked in with a maid.
Just judging from the other party's clothing and temperament, this should be Mrs. Bai, the hostess of the White Mansion.
He quickly got up and saluted, looking very polite.
If Miss Bai is her own, judging from her mother's appearance, there is a high probability that she is a beauty.
Madam Bai showed a gentle smile, and slowly sat on the main seat.
Well, at least this child looks much better than she imagined.
The half moldy sesame seed cake was placed on the table next to it by the maid. Seeing this, Ji Que was about to take out the engagement letter in his bosom, but Mrs. Bai stretched out her hand and said, "Nephew, this is not urgent."
Ji Que sat down and did not continue.
Although he is neither relative nor relative, the other party is always an elder, and he is still a good-looking elder. As a guest, he really has to look at the host's arrangement first.
Madam Bai picked up the teacup, glanced at the half sesame seed cake, didn't drink it, and said, "Nephew, when did you arrive in Tianren City?"
Ji Que replied: "The morning has just arrived."
Madam Bai nodded, and said: "The journey is tiring, so you should take a good rest and go around again. The lanterns on Qingyun River are pretty, and the scenery of Yuhuayan is not bad."
Ji Que responded: "Thank you Madam for reminding me, this junior will be able to do these things well after he is busy with his business."
Mrs. Bai frowned slightly, and said: "Actually, there is no need to be so anxious about this matter, after all, it is not a small matter. The old man received a piece of favor from your old man back then. If I want to remember it in my heart, I will not dare to forget it. It's just a matter of marriage. Don't be too hasty."
Ji Que nodded and said, "Indeed."
Madam Bai said: "Lingshuang is not here, this matter has to be slow."
Ji Que hurriedly said: "Excuse me, junior, dare to ask Miss Bai's family when she will return home?"
As soon as these words came out, the acerbic-looking maid beside her couldn't help rolling her eyes quietly.
Isn't this too impatient?
Madam Bai remained calm, but she already had some prejudices in her heart.
This young man looks good, but he came from a small place after all. He thought that with half a sesame seed, he could easily marry her daughter and lead a completely different and rich life.
I'm a little too anxious, but it's understandable.
Her complexion became a little colder, and she said: "My lord father has already left. Although the master is not an official anymore, he is still a person regardless of age. He pays great attention to the character of the people in the family. You and I met for the first time. I don't understand, I heard that you are a scholar, and you want to continue to take the exam?"
Ji Que replied: "Actually not"
Madam Bai frowned slightly, and said in a little surprise: "Have you been selected?"
Ji Que said seriously: "Actually, this junior failed the talent examination this year."
It’s true that which pot is not opened and which pot is lifted.
Hearing this, the maid next to her sneered and laughed.
Not even a scholar, so anxious to miss Gao Pan.
Madam Bai gave the servant girl a cold look, and the servant girl quickly shut up, not daring to make a mistake.
At this time, Mrs. Bai murmured: "Actually, nephew, don't worry about it. The road of studying and getting fame is actually not the only choice, and it can even be said that it is not the best choice.
Nowadays, there is a tendency in courts to emphasize martial arts over literature. Brother Lingshuang is only five years older than you. He went to the frontier and has already become a thousand households with his own efforts.
The Bai family has one son and two daughters, and Brother Lingshuang didn't talk about it, so he didn't lose the master's face. The two daughters are even more competitive. The younger sister, Lu'er, is talented and has long been favored by the Yunxue Sect. She will become a cultivator when she is a little older. As for sister Lingshuang, you should have heard that she is ranked sixth on the Qingyu list, and her reputation is even greater than the master's."
Hearing these family problems, Ji Que had the illusion that the principal only talked about three points while standing on the playground under the scorching sun in his previous life.
In the eyes of the servant girl, he was a bit on pins and needles, so the servant girl couldn't help pursing her mouth quietly.
How can there be so many good things that fall from the sky in this world, even if there are, not everyone can handle them.
As a servant of the family who watched his young lady amaze everyone, this lady's personal servant girl has always been proud of the eldest lady, and knows how important the eldest lady is in the hearts of the master and wife.
After learning that the young lady had such an inexplicable engagement, the servant girl's first reaction was that it was unfair.
How could Miss marry an ordinary person.
From the beginning to the end, he was very repulsed by the rumored marriage partner of Miss Zhong, that is, Ji Que.
Seeing him today, I learned that this young man, not to mention that he came from the countryside, did not even pass the exam as a scholar, which further deepened his thinking.
Just as Ji Que wanted to open his mouth to say it, Mrs. Bai didn't seem to have to breathe, and continued to add: "Nephew Ji Xian, you are not familiar with Tianren City, and I'm afraid you don't know much about cultivation. A practitioner with great potential The status in the prosperous dynasty is definitely not comparable to being a senior high school scholar and being an official.
Elders need to be respected, but the decisions made by the deceased do not necessarily have to be fully accepted, and our descendants need to deal with them in a more appropriate way.
You are new here, and you may not be able to see clearly in some aspects. The opinion of my master and I is that you can get familiar with the city for a while, and we can send you to the military headquarters through a certain relationship, so that you can have the same experience as Brother Lingshuang. The same starting point, if you are really a malleable talent and a good man, it will not only be your blessing, but also the court's blessing.
At that time, Lingshuang and we can get to know you better, so it is the most appropriate time to talk about this engagement, what do you think? "
After hearing the words "What do you think?", Ji Que's eyes that had lost their spirit became bright again.
Oh my god, it's finally finished, should I say it?
Ji Que wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Well, Auntie, it's actually not that troublesome."
"Ok?"
"Actually, I'm here to call off the engagement."
Madam Bai: "?????"
Maid: "?????"
(The update time has been changed to the morning update.)
