get married first, fall in love later

The two people who were standing and sitting in the room looked up towards the door, and saw Qian Xiaobao, who was dressed in Chinese clothes, was holding a folding fan in his right hand, and his left hand was still resting on the armrest of the wooden door. .

When Ouyang Xi saw the "culprit" who made him angry again, he naturally didn't have a good face, and turned his head with a slight snort.

Jiang Qingxiao was very happy to see him, and casually stuffed the handkerchief into Ouyang Xi's hand, walked over in three or two steps, pulled Qian Xiaobao to the table and said, "Mr. Qian has woken up? Xiao Xi and I just talked about it." And you."

"Little Xi?" Qian Xiaobao raised his eyebrows unobtrusively, and deliberately emphasized his tone: "I don't know when Miss Jiang and my wife became so friendly, and they started calling each other by their boudoir names?"

"Cough," Jiang Qingxiao waved his hand indifferently: "The sons and daughters of the Jianghu don't care about trifles, girls come and go girls are very awkward, it would be easier to just call your boudoir by name." Ouyang Xi said: "Ah? It turns out that Xiaoxi is Mr. Qian's wife!"

Qian Xiaobao rolled his eyes in his heart very speechlessly: a man and a woman travel together late at night and live in the same room, and they are not brothers and sisters with the same surname, what else can they be if they are not a couple?Although this Jiang Shamen is not from a scholarly family, it is said that the family education is very good. Although Jiang Qingxiao is a daughter, she has been proficient in reading and writing, poetry and etiquette since she was a child. It is rumored that she is a strange woman with both talent and beauty. It seems that the brain is not very bright?

Jiang Qingxiao didn't know that she had already been ridiculed by Qian Xiaobao in her heart, and she didn't feel annoyed when she saw that neither of the two people in the room responded to her question, she just laughed as if she hadn't asked, and acted as if she had found a way for herself Turning to Qian Xiaobao, he asked casually: "Well, Mr. Qian must have not eaten breakfast just after waking up. It just so happened that Xiaoxi and I just ordered a lot. Do you want some..." While talking, he turned to the messy table, I glanced around but found that there was nothing to eat. I smiled awkwardly and said, "Uh... order some more... huh... just right... I'm not full yet... "

Qian Xiaobao waved his hands and said, "No need."

Ouyang Xi also echoed: "Didn't I tell you that she doesn't eat breakfast."

Qian Xiaobao's refusal was purely polite, but when she heard Ouyang Xi say the same thing, she suddenly felt uncomfortable, and without thinking about it, she said, "Actually, it's okay to have something together, Miss Jiang just now If you’re not full yet, let’s order some more, and let’s eat as much as we can.” After speaking, he looked at Ouyang Xi and smiled inexplicably: “My wife has always had a good appetite, and it’s the first time I’m eating at the same table with Miss Jiang. , being too cautious, I think I didn’t eat well.”

Qian Xiaobao's words are really multi-lingual and full of meaning. First, he pretends to be everyone, implying Jiang Qingxiao's status as an "outsider"; second, he says that he knows Ouyang Xi very well. She is good, but she is more reserved in front of strangers; these three times, that is to say, Ouyang Xi has never easily revealed her true temperament in front of outsiders, and the only one who can see her true face is her husband, Mr. Qian himself.

Qian Xiaobao had dealt too much with those thoughtful profiteers when doing business on weekdays, and he had occupational diseases.It is true that speaking full of metaphors will get twice the result with half the effort in most cases, but it also depends on where it is used. Facing Jiang Qingxiao, who has a gut to the end and has a straighter temper than dried noodles, it is obviously a bit overkill.

Jiang Qingxiao's first reaction when he heard him say this was to look at Ouyang Xi, and blurted out, "Little Xi, you haven't had enough yet? It seems that we are not only similar in temperament, but also eat so similarly. It's rare, really rare. "After speaking, he turned to the door with a smile on his face, and greeted the waiter who was waiting outside the door: "The ones we ordered just now, we will order another one!"

Another serving?It's true that the steamed stuffed bun is delicious, but if you eat any more, you'll really be stuffed to death!Ouyang Xi complained helplessly in her heart: Jiang Qingxiao, you pig, I don’t want to be like you, a "strange woman" like you, not to mention in ancient times, even in modern times with all kinds of strange human beings, that is absolutely true. Unique, no one can match you!Besides, she didn't want to follow Qian Xiaobao's wishes, so she just waved her hand and said: "I'm full, don't order mine, if you eat, just order your own."

Jiang Qingxiao listened to what Qian Xiaobao said just now, and seeing Ouyang Xi keep refusing, she still thought she was really embarrassed, so she looked at her and said with a bright smile: "Xiao Xi, we are friends, Don't be polite to me, how can you not be full if you say I am treating you today?"

your treat?Yesterday, I clearly greeted the waiter in front of the two of them, saying that from now on, Jiang Qingxiao's rent and meals will be charged to her own account, why did she just wake up, this young lady doesn't remember ?Qian Xiaobao slightly shook his head helplessly: "Oh, you use my money to treat me to dinner, but you still have to thank her. This young lady really made a profit."But at the moment, he didn't point it out, just smiled slightly, turned to Jiang Qingxiao and raised his hands into a fist: "Then thank you Miss Jiang."

"Mr. Qian, don't be polite. Oh, it's really uncomfortable for this girl to come and scream, you can just call me Qingxiao, and I'll call you Xiaobao, okay?"

Qian Xiaobao said: "What Qing Xiao said is, let's just call each other by name!"

Hearing this, Jiang Qingxiao raised her hand and "slapped" Qian Xiaobao's shoulder: "Okay, refreshing, I like it."

Qian Xiaobao once again had black lines: How unreliable are the rumors in the world, to describe this straightforward and forthright female man in front of him as a talented, gentle and quiet lady.From her point of view, apart from her pretty face, this Jiang Qingxiao has nothing to do with "every lady".

While speaking, the waiter in the shop has brought in a copy of what Jiang Qingxiao ordered before as ordered.Qian Xiaobao pulled the chair and leaned against Ouyang Xi's side, picked up the egg custard on the table and gently placed it in front of her and said, "Young lady, please eat some more."

After more than half a day, Ouyang Xi's anger towards Qian Xiaobao has almost disappeared, and they are husband and wife, so they still have to do what they should do in front of outsiders. He picked up the spoon and lowered his head to eat without a bite.

Seeing this, Qian Xiaobao smiled knowingly, and he picked up a crab roe bun not far away and put it in his mouth to chew.For a while, in the quiet private room, nothing else could be heard except for the faint sound of chewing and swallowing by the three of them.

It was time for another cup of tea, and the cages and dishes on the table had bottomed out again. In his heart, Ouyang Xi really had to give Jiang Qingxiao a thumbs up for his amazing appetite: he and Qian Xiaobao ate together It was not more than half of what she ate alone. Such a strange person is really hard to find in the world.

After eating and drinking enough, Jiang Qingxiao finally remembered the business, handed the full teacups to Qian Xiaobao and Ouyang Xi each, and said, "Dare to ask Xiaobao, will you stay in this Jiangzhou inn?" How many days have you been?"

Qian Xiaobao didn't answer directly when he heard the words, but asked instead: "Why do you ask this question?"

"Oh, it's like this." Jiang Qingxiao didn't hide from them, but said truthfully: "The jade pendant that was mortgaged to you yesterday means a lot to me, and I must redeem it before you leave. Come back, I'm afraid that if you are leaving soon, I won't have enough time to recover the money bag."

"So it is."

Qian Xiaobao picked up his teacup and took a sip, his brain was running fast, thinking about the news that Qian Si had just inquired about in the morning: This young lady of Jiang Shamen is enjoying a happy life at home, but she lives alone without any entourage. The purpose of coming to the Jiangzhou inn was to escape marriage.

But it's true, this eldest lady has such a great reputation, people who come to propose marriage on weekdays are afraid that they can fill up the moat outside Jiangzhou City.Above the rivers and lakes, the marriages between famous clans and gangs are similar to the political marriages between royal families. Although Jiang Shamen is not weak in the rivers and lakes, in recent years dozens of small sects have sprung up across the country one after another. Competing to form cliques, their respective strengths have gradually grown.Qian Er mentioned in the information sent by Qian Er in the capital last year that Jiang Shamen's branch in the capital was repeatedly provoked by some small gangs that had just emerged, and there was a lot of chaos at one point, which even alarmed the imperial court to dispatch officers and soldiers to suppress it. , causing considerable losses to their personnel and business.Marrying with other gangs can not only strengthen one's own strength, but also attract a powerful ally to the outside world, so why not do it?

What's more, Qian Xiaobao once again brought the teacup to his lips and took a sip. According to the news, the person who is about to marry Jiang Shamen is none other than the son of the well-known martial arts leader, Shaoge of Jianling Pavilion. Lord Xia Lingyu.Sword Ling Pavilion is not only said to be invincible in the Jianghu, but it is reported that their young pavilion master Xia Lingyu also learned from the old man Yaodu who was called "the master of rejuvenation" by the people of the Jianghu. It is heard that he will inherit the mantle of his master after his master Xianyou.Although the old man Yaodu has not set up any gangs, and has only accepted two apprentices so far, the Yaowang Valley where he lives all year round is planted with all kinds of precious medicinal materials that people in the world dream of. It is said that just one plant at random can be worth thousands two gold.

The rumors in the rivers and lakes have always been exaggerated, but they are not groundless.Sword Ling Pavilion plus Medicine King Valley, the mountains and plains filled with medicinal herbs worth thousands of gold, and the peerless medical skills that people in the rivers and lakes can throw tens of thousands of gold at any time and pray for in every possible way. No matter how you look at it, this Xia Lingyu is the perfect husband-in-law that women in this world are vying to marry. Why did Jiang Qingxiao run away after hearing the news?
