Pan Jinlian had no choice but to talk to Ximen Qing. In fact, everything she said was meant for Lu Yuanfei to hear, so her actions were also meant for him to see.
She looked deeply at Lu Yuanfei and bowed, saying,""It's all this servant's fault for being careless and letting the wind blow the pole in my hand down. I accidentally hit you, don't blame me.”
Ximen Qing didn't realize that Pan Jinlian's words were directed at Lu Yuanfei, who was beside him. Half of his body went limp first. He straightened his headscarf, cupped his fists, and said,"It's fine, Wifey doesn't need to feel guilty, I wasn't injured.”
Then, he fanned himself and said,"This is my fault. It's all my fault for offending Wifey. Wifey, don't blame me.”
Pan Jinlian's eyes swept over Lu Yuanfei and said,""It's good that you don't blame me."
"How would I dare?"
Pan Jinlian smiled at Lu Yuanfei and left the window. She felt regretful that she couldn't talk to Lu Yuanfei this time.
However, at least he left a hook behind. It was also convenient to increase their feelings for each other.
As for Ximen Qing, she basically ignored him. With Lu Yuanfei around, she didn't pay much attention to him.
Without the woman by the window, Ximen Qing was still a little unsatisfied. Although they had only met for a short time, his heart was already stirred up by lightning and fire, and he could not calm down.
He, Great Official Ximen, could get any woman in Qinghe County. He did not intend to let go of such a flirtatious woman.
Moreover, with his many years of wandering around, he could see that this woman seemed to have feelings for him. Otherwise, why would she smile and frequently throw flirtatious glances at him?
In that case, it was not difficult to succeed.
Lu Yuanfei watched the entire process from the side. Ximen Qing and Pan Jinlian, this famous scene that had been passed down through the ages, he indeed had a different feeling when he saw it at such a close distance.
He thought to himself, This means that Pan Jinlian and Ximen Qing are still in cahoots. I have to think of a way to make Ximen Qing suffer greatly in this process.”
Xi Men Qing turned around and asked,""Brother Lu, you also live nearby. Do you recognize this woman?”
Lu Yuanfei nodded." Of course. I'm talking about a person. Even if you don't know him, you must have heard of him."”
"Who is it?"
"Wu Dalang, does the great official know?”Lu Yuanfei said.
"Are you talking about that short man who sells baked buns? Could it be that the woman was the wife of that dwarf?”Xi Men Qing smacked his lips and snorted,"It's really like a flower inserted into cow dung.”
"Why, does the master seem to be interested in me?”Lu Yuanfei said.
"Could it be that Brother Lu has a good idea? Don't worry, as long as you help me this time, I will definitely thank you heavily.”
The two of them walked and talked as they strolled to the door of Grandma Wang's tea shop.
Grandma Wang chewed on the melon seeds and stood up with a smile. She said,"I was wondering who it was. So it was Lord Ximen. Why did you come here today? Aren't you going to come into this old woman's teahouse to have a drink?”
When Ximen Qing saw Granny Wang, his eyes lit up.
Granny Wang was a famous matchmaker in Qinghe County. She was the opposite of the woman just now. If she were to find Granny Wang to matchmake them, the chances of success would be high.
He thought to himself, As long as I spend a few taels of silver and let the old pious woman pull strings, it won't be difficult to hook up with that female.”
Hence, he decided to abandon Lu Yuanfei and quickly entered the teahouse, intending to seek advice from Granny Wang.
In his opinion, Lu Yuanfei was an amateur in matchmaking after all. He was also a man, so it was not appropriate for him to build a bridge with that woman. Therefore, Grandma Wang looked much more reliable than Lu Yuanfei.
Lu Yuanfei sneered behind him. Since Ximen Qing didn't believe him, he would show him his abilities.
Hence, he followed her into the teahouse.
Ximen Qing had a favor to ask of Granny Wang, so his attitude was very good. He bowed to Granny Wang and said,"Godmother, long time no see."
"Lord Lu is a rare guest. Oh, Lord Lu is also here. Please enter the room.”
Lu Yuanfei and Ximen Qing both entered a private room. Granny Wang served them good wine and meat.
Although it was called a tea house, it actually sold everything, including wine and meat.
Ximen Qing was not in the mood to eat and said directly,"Godmother, do you know the identity of the woman opposite?”
Ximen Qing already knew the woman's identity from Lu Yuanfei's words, but he still used this to find a conversation topic.
"What, do you like her? Wasn't the few rooms in the lord's house enough? He was really looking at the pot while eating from the bowl.”
"No, I was just asking.”
"Your Excellency is still playing with this old woman. I saw it just now. Your Excellency's eyes were staring straight at me. Isn't this interesting or something?”
Old Granny Wang said proudly with a confident look.
"If you ask me, it's better for you to behave yourself. After all, this person is a married man.”
Grandma Wang didn't say this to make Ximen Qing give up on Pan Jinlian. She knew that Ximen Qing wouldn't let go of someone he liked so easily.
She said this to let Ximen Qing know that this matter was not easy to handle. Then, if she did it for him, Ximen Qing would have to fork out more money.
This was a way to add weight.
She had been a matchmaker all her life and was very shrewd."These men are all cheap bones. The more they can't get something, the more they want to spend a lot of effort to get it.”
"Godmother, I really want to ask you for advice this time. Don't play dumb with me. Just tell me what I should do.”
Grandma Wang would not go along with Ximen Qing's words so easily. She was still talking about other things in a roundabout way.
"Sir, how is your Eldest Lady?”
"I heard that you recently took in another concubine.”
"There's a new girl in the courtyard who's famous for her beauty. No guests have gone to comb the cage yet, don't you want to go and take a look?”
This roundabout conversation annoyed Ximen Qing, and his face darkened.
He only wanted to hear about Pan Jinlian now. As for the others, couldn't he talk about them another day?
Lu Yuanfei suddenly interjected," Your Excellency, if this matter is to succeed, it will only be possible if all five things are completed." I wonder if you don't have one?"
Lu Yuanfei laughed evilly in his heart. Wasn't this old woman very talkative and shrewd? Then he would make this old thing speechless.
He was still practicing Taiji Fist and hiding it. Any elementary school student in the future would be able to recite Granny Wong's words backwards.
Not to mention, he was a metalology enthusiast.
