get married first, fall in love later

Qian Xiaobao put down his teacup, opened the folding fan with his right hand and shook it lightly twice, and said: "My husband and I will go out for fun this time, and it will only take two or three days, and we will leave within five days at most."

Jiang Qingxiao was a little frustrated when he heard the words, and confirmed unwillingly: "Only for two or three days?"

Qian Xiaobao nodded and smiled lightly, and said, "Don't worry, if we want to leave, we will definitely inform the girl in advance."

What's the use of telling you in advance, if you still haven't recovered the purse at that time, wouldn't I want to watch you take away my ancestral jade pendant?Having said that, but the matter has come to this point, complaining is useless. After all, it is true that the person in front of me rescued himself from an embarrassing situation, and it is an ironclad fact that he took other people's money.At present, the only way is to find the money bag as soon as possible and redeem the jade pendant as soon as possible.Thinking of this, Jiang Qingxiao couldn't sit still any longer, stood up and cupped his fists at Qian Xiaobao, then turned to Ouyang Xi and said, "You two wait a moment, then I'll go find my purse first."

Seeing this, Qian Xiaobao got up slowly, and asked with concern in his voice: "This Jiangzhou city is not big, but it is not small, and the girl's purse has been lost for a few days, how can it be so easy to find it?" What? If you go aimlessly like this, I’m afraid you’ll just be looking for a needle in a haystack, and you won’t find anything, right?”

"No," Jiang Qingxiao smiled brightly: "I didn't sit and wait these two days. I went to the place around the lost money bag to inquire about it. The little thief is a habitual offender. It's easy to check his details. I If you find out that he will definitely go to the "Jucai Gambling House" today, go there early and wait for him, and you will be able to capture him in one fell swoop."

Hearing this, Qian Xiaobao rolled his eyes lightly, closed the folding fan with a snap, and said: "Although what you say is true, Miss, that thief is a habitual offender, and he was not caught so easily in his head. If he escapes successfully for the first time, he will definitely be more careful, fearing that it will be difficult to find his trace again."

Jiang Qingxiao was slightly taken aback when he heard this, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "Brother Qian's words are reasonable. But if you don't go and sit there, wouldn't you even miss this opportunity?"

"Of course this opportunity cannot be let go, but it should be arranged more comprehensively."

Jiang Qingxiao looked bewildered: "How can I be more thoughtful?"

Qian Xiaobao smiled lightly and said: "To tell you the truth, Miss Qingxiao, although I am not from Jiangzhou, I also lived here for a while earlier, during which time I was more fortunate to meet some powerful friends, among whom was There is the shopkeeper Yin, the owner of the 'Jucai Gambling Workshop'. I have a small suggestion, and I think it will help the girl capture that little thief in one fell swoop."

Jiang Qingxiao's eyes lit up when he heard the words: "Really?"

"Don't dare to lie to the girl."

"What suggestion, Brother Qian, please tell me quickly."

Qian Xiaobao smiled softly: "Miss Qingxiao, don't worry, I'm making this little proposal, and it will be easy to implement. As long as the girl describes the appearance of the little thief now, I will get someone to draw a portrait and hand it over to you." Shopkeeper Yu Yin, send someone to pay attention in advance. Once you find the figure of the person, cooperate with the girl to capture him. Although this proposal is not brilliant, but sending someone to watch in advance can prevent problems before they happen. We missed it because we went too early, and secondly, Shopkeeper Yin’s subordinates are more familiar with the interior of the gambling house and the surrounding streets, and with their assistance, we will be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort.”

Speaking of which, although Qian Xiaobao has a lot of money and owns a lot of property in Jiangzhou City, but compared to Jiang Shamen's influence here, it is still far behind.Such a small thief, as long as Jiang Qingxiao is willing to give orders, his ancestors' graves will have been dug up long ago.And now two days have passed and he hasn't been caught yet, probably because Jiang Qingxiao escaped from marriage and is unwilling to reveal his whereabouts to anyone in the gang, so there is no reason to ask for help.

It was not easy for Jiang Qingxiao to inquire about the news by himself, but also squat to catch the thief by himself. Now that he heard that someone could help, he was naturally happy, and he didn't refuse immediately, and said: "Why do you need someone else to describe it? I will do small things by myself." After speaking, he opened the door and told the waiter who had been waiting, "Go and get me a pen, ink, paper and inkstone."

Xiao Er bent down and nodded in response, turned around and went downstairs, took a moment to fetch the Four Treasures of the Study, directed the people to put away the dishes on the table, carefully arranged the paper and pen, and rubbed the ink evenly before turning around out the door.

Jiang Qingxiao stood quietly at the table, thought about it carefully, and drew a rough outline with two or three strokes of the pen.He held it up to his eyes and looked at it while contemplating it, then put the paper on the table and added a few strokes.

Ouyang Xi leaned forward curiously, and watched Jiang Qing's Xiaomiao brush like a flower, and it only took less than a cup of tea to draw a lifelike young man. Under the influence of preconceived emotions, the person in the portrait, if you look carefully, really reveals a sense of sight.

Ouyang Xi felt admiration in his heart, and he opened his mouth to praise: "Qing Xiao, you are amazing, this portrait is really good!"

Jiang Qingxiao was a little embarrassed when he heard the words, and immediately declined: "Where is it, Xiao Xi is absurd."

"What kind of praise, good is good, I never tell lies."

But Qian Xiaobao leaned forward at this time and said: "My lady has never seen the appearance of this little thief, so how do you know if the painting is good?"

"I haven't seen it before, but it's two different things to draw well and look like it? I only said that Qingxiao drew well, but I didn't say that it looks like it!"

"Oh? So, the lady thinks that Qing Xiao's painting doesn't look like it?"

"I didn't say the painting didn't look like..."

"But the lady hasn't seen the real person, so how can she know the real person?"

"I didn't say it was like..."

Qian Xiaobao opened the folding fan again and shook it lightly, looked at her with a smile on his face and asked leisurely: "Is it like or not? My husband is about to be confused by the lady."

Ouyang Xi stomped her feet angrily: "It's me who is going to be knocked out by you, okay? How do I know if it looks like it? Qian Xiaobao, what's going on with you today? Why are you always finding fault for nothing?"

"My lady's words are a great injustice to my husband. If it wasn't for my lady's failure to speak clearly, how could I be like this?"

"you……"

Ouyang Xi was forced to be speechless again, and immediately turned around and grabbed Jiang Qingxiao's arm, saying, "Qingxiao, let's go, let's catch the thief, I really don't want to talk to her!" With one glance, he turned around and dragged the person away without looking back.

Qian Xiaobao chuckled, raised his head and looked at a corner of the roof thoughtfully, then picked up the portrait on the table and followed the footsteps of the two before him.

The streets of Jiangzhou City were full of people, and people of all colors gathered in twos and threes to choose their favorite items.Qian Xiaobao, who was walking in the front, moved towards various stalls selling novelties intentionally or unintentionally. Ouyang Xi couldn't resist the temptation for a while, so he took Jiang Qingxiao's arm and moved towards him.

"This one is quite unique, and it's just right for a lady." Qian Xiaobao casually picked up a green jade hairpin, compared it to Ouyang Xi's head in a decent way, and handed it to the boss in front of him: "I want this one." Come on, please wrap it up."

Receiving gifts is always something that can make people feel happy. Ouyang Xi put the unhappiness just now out of the blue in an instant, looked down at the things on the stall and played with them one by one, and picked out a pair of light green emeralds Earrings: "Boss, wrap this up too." After speaking, he pointed to Qian Xiaobao: "She pays!"

Qian Xiaobao smiled lightly when he heard the words, and nodded slightly to meet the boss's questioning gaze.

Ouyang Xi lowered her head again to choose, but this time she picked up a white jade crown carved with beautiful patterns. She used her index finger to trace along the edge of the crown. It was terrible, so I handed it over to the boss: "There is still this."

After the things were selected, he turned around and saw Jiang Qingxiao who had been by his side all the time. Ouyang Xi suddenly felt a little embarrassed: He obviously said to help others catch thieves, but when he went out, he just focused on choosing things and forgot about the business. It's reliable.At that moment, he gently pulled Jiang Qingxiao's sleeve, smiled, and asked: "Qingxiao, see if there is anything you like, I'll give it to...uh... let my husband give it to you."

Qian Xiaobao once again had black lines: Not long after we first met, he asked his husband-in-law to buy things for a strange woman.In this world, except for Ouyang Xi, there must be no one else who has such a strange way of thinking, right?

Fortunately, Jiang Qingxiao didn't "go to the kang as soon as I give way", and immediately waved her hands and said with a smile: "These things are not suitable for me, no need."

Ouyang Xi was still reluctant: "Look carefully, maybe you can find something you like."

"It's really not necessary."

"OK then."

Since others don't like it, it's inconvenient to force it. Ouyang Xi didn't insist anymore, grabbed her hand and walked forward and said, "Then let's go ahead and have a look, there is always something you like."

Jiang Qingxiao shook her head helplessly: "Xiao Xi, it really doesn't matter."

"It's okay, just go shopping, buy what you like when you see it, and forget it if you don't see it."

Jiang Qingxiao smiled helplessly, but had no choice but to follow her.After paying the bill, Qian Xiaobao took the things, looked at the figures of the two people who were gradually going away, smiled meaningfully, and murmured in a low voice: "It's really right to lead you to this street, my dear lady." After speaking, he opened the folding fan and shook it lightly, and followed leisurely.

Ouyang Xi just walked around like this, and when he saw something he liked, he asked Qian Xiaobao behind him to pay for it.After coming to ancient times, this is the first time she has seen such a big city, such a bustling street market, everything she sees is fresh, and everything she buys is worth it. It doesn't happen every day that you can get your favorite item without spending a penny.

Ouyang Xi had a great time buying it, but Jiang Qingxiao became a little anxious. It took almost an incense stick of time for the few of them to come out of the inn. According to the news from the previous inquiry, the thief would be there before noon at the latest. They will leave the casino. If they haven't arrived by then, they won't be able to catch them no matter what.
