Chapter 189 The Man in Red
Yun Xi and her group arrived at Ying Tianchen's private room on the third floor. The waiter quickly brought tea and pastries.
This private room is at the end of the corridor. It has the best location in the entire teahouse and offers a great view.
Except for the entrance, the other three sides have large windows. One side allows you to see the scene downstairs of the teahouse, and the other two sides allow you to see the scenery of the street corner outside.
After entering the box, everyone opened the windows on three sides.
Ying Tianchen and Yun Qi sat at the table drinking tea and chatting, while Yun Xi, Yun Qiaoer, Mu Hanxue and Mu Hanling stood by the east window to look at the street view.
Yun Yi, Yun Shuai and Mu Qingyuan lay at the south window to watch the situation on South Street.
The location is high and the view is good, and you can see the situation on South Street clearly.
"Look, that's the Seven Stars Tower."
Yun Yi pointed at the conspicuous Seven Star Tower and shouted.
Mu Qingyuan also jumped up and down excitedly, clinging to the window, "Yes, yes, I saw it too."
Yun Shuai was not as excited as the other two. Although he was also eager to see the scenery outside, he still took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, wiped the window pane, folded the handkerchief neatly and stuffed it into his sleeve. Then he lay on the windowsill and pointed at the scenery outside like his two good brothers.
Also pointing outside the window were Yun Yan, Mu Qingli and Mu Qingheng.
They were just lying on the inner window watching the poetry competition downstairs.
Mu Qingli and Mu Qingheng knew a lot of people, and knowing that Yun Yan didn’t know, they introduced them to him one by one.
"Did you see the scholar in the blue school uniform? His name is Zhu Shuyi, and he is a famous talent in our Songhe Academy. He always ranks first in every exam."
"It's a pity that this year's imperial examination was delayed, otherwise I would have definitely won first place and become the top scorer."
Yun Yan was curious, "How can such an important matter as scientific research be delayed?"
Mu Qingli sighed, "There's nothing we can do. His father passed away on the eve of the exam. Filial piety comes first, and he has to handle the funeral and observe mourning. He can't be absent."
"That's such a pity. But fortunately I can still take the exam again in three years." Yun Yan also sighed.
"That's not necessarily true. I heard that after his father died, his stepmother made a lot of trouble. He was about to be kicked out of the house. With his stepmother's behavior, if he was really kicked out, he would definitely be penniless. How could a poor scholar have money to study?"
Yun Yan didn't expect that Zhu Shuyi's life was so difficult.
"Hey, look, second cousin."
Suddenly Mu Qingheng patted Yun Yan's arm, pointed at a man in red downstairs and asked,
"Did you see the one wearing the most flamboyant clothes?"
Yun Yan nodded. A man in bright red clothes was still very conspicuous.
"Who is he?" he asked.
Mu Qingheng smiled, "He is Song Lin, the third master of our Jiaozhou governor's family. He is famous for being unruly and doing things as he pleases. He never participated in any poetry gatherings before, but I didn't expect him to come this year."
Hearing his words, Mu Hanling hurried over, "Oh, Song Lin is really here, let me see how showy he is today."
As she spoke, she squeezed towards Yun Yan, Mu Qingli and Mu Qingheng. The three of them hurriedly made room for her.
Mu Hanling almost leaned half of her body out to look down, then burst out laughing.
She waved to Yunxi and Mu Hanxue, "Big sister, Sister Xier, come and see."
Hearing his shout, not only Yun Xi and Mu Hanxue, but also Yun Yi and a few other little guys ran over to join in the fun.
"Sister, I want to see it too."
Yun Xi let Yun Qiaoer stand at the front. As for Yun Yi, Yun Shuai and Mu Qingyuan, the three older ones, Yun Yan, Mu Qingli and Mu Qingheng, picked them up and looked around from behind.
Seeing that they were looking at a showy man, the three little guys immediately lost interest and went back to the south window to look at the scenery outside.
Mu Hanling said happily, "Oh, it seems that Song Lin was forced to attend this poetry gathering because his mother was making him suffer so much."
"Definitely. I didn't expect that Song Lin, who is fearless, would be afraid of Madam Song crying, making a fuss, and then hanging herself."
Yun Xi and Yun Yan found what they said interesting and asked curiously what was going on.
Mu Qingheng said, "Song Lin has liked wearing red clothes since he was a child, and he also likes to dress himself up to look sexy. In addition, he is handsome and has a good family background, so he can charm a lot of women every time he appears. But he has a fatal problem."
At this point, he pointed downstairs and said, "Did you notice that there is no woman around him? All the women shy away when they see him?"
Yun Xi and Yun Yan looked down and saw that it was indeed the case. All the women automatically moved away from him when they saw him.
Yun Yan was puzzled, "Why, does he have a body odor problem?"
"Pfft-"
Mu Hanling couldn't help laughing. Mu Hanxue also covered her mouth with a handkerchief and shrugged.
Mu Qingheng waved his hands quickly, "No, no. It's that Song Lin can't get close to women."
"Can't get close to women?"
"Yes, whenever a woman gets too close to him, he feels uncomfortable all over and can't help but want to beat her up. He can even kill people when he loses control."
"So serious?" Yun Yan was shocked.
"Yes. In the past, there were women who didn't believe in evil and wanted to get close to him, but they were all beaten up. I heard that the worst one wanted to seduce him, so she threw herself into his arms and hugged him tightly. In the end, guess what happened?"
Without waiting for anyone to ask, he continued, "Bang, that woman is really dead."
As he said this, he tilted his neck and closed his eyes.
"Beaten to death?" Yun Yan widened his eyes.
Mu Qingheng nodded, "Yes, he was slapped to death by Song Lin. He was good at martial arts, and I heard that his brains were slapped out. Since then, no woman dared to get close to him."
Yun Xi and Yun Yan were stunned.
"Then his problem is quite serious." Yun Yan said blankly.
"Yes, except for his mother, Old Madam Song, no one can get close to him, including his sisters at home."
"So weird?"
"Yes, that's why he's still single at 28. Many people say he has a paternal lover. Old Madam Song is almost dying of anxiety. She asks him to attend various parties every day, saying that he will get better if he sees more women.
But Song Lin never agreed. This time, it was said that it was only after Mrs. Song cried, made a scene, and threatened to hang herself that she agreed. I didn't expect that he would always do what he wanted and would be afraid of his mother crying and making a scene.
Yun Xi raised her eyebrows. She didn't expect that such a cruel person could be a filial son.
Looking at the man in red again, she felt that he was somewhat similar to the Dongfang Bubai in the TV show she had seen in her previous life.
puff~
Not to mention, it looks a bit like it.
Yun Xi pursed her lips and smiled secretly, with deep dimples.
Song Lin downstairs seemed to have some sense in his heart, always feeling that someone was peeping at him nakedly.
Looking up, he saw several young boys and girls crowded at the window of a box on the third floor, staring at him.
He saw Yun Xi smiling at the first sight. The smile was sweet and pure. It was like a magic that brushed across his heart gently and softly.
Seeing Song Lin looking upstairs, Mu Hanxue and Mu Hanling were so scared that they quickly shrank back.
Mu Qingheng stretched out his arm and waved at him. Mu Qingli also nodded at him.
Obviously they knew each other.
Yun Xi felt uncomfortable staring at the other person, so she suppressed her smile and looked away.
Song Lin raised the corners of his lips unconsciously and called a waiter, "Take me to the third floor."
