get married first, fall in love later

Jiang Qingxiao didn't hide anything anymore, and immediately explained everything about running away from marriage and going out.Qian Xiaobao already knew the inside story beforehand, so he naturally showed a calm expression on his face, but Ouyang Xi had never heard her say these details, so he silently cast a stern glance at the person who was drinking tea leisurely: "Why do you care about these things?" Didn't tell me?

Qian Xiaobao looked at her with a faint smile, shook his head slightly, and glanced at Jiang Qingxiao who was still talking to himself, as if to say: Don't worry, lady, isn't Qingxiao just talking now.

Ouyang Xi's almond eyes widened, and she wrinkled her nose and gave her a hard look: Can it be the same? !

Qian Xiaobao still smiled calmly, stroking the back of Ouyang Xi's hand with his palm under the table, as if to appease: "Ma'am, don't be impatient."

The two remained silent and made eye contact until Jiang Qingxiao explained the ins and outs of the matter clearly. Seeing that neither of them responded, she reminded with some doubts: "Brother Qian, Xiaoxi, are you listening?"

Ouyang Xi, who was sitting not far from Jiang Qingxiao, was the first to come back to her senses, she hurriedly nodded and responded: "I'm listening, I didn't expect...uh...you actually...run away from marriage... ..."

Jiang Qingxiao's face was gloomy: "Yeah, my father always loves me and never forces me to do things I don't like, but this time, for some reason, he insists on asking me to marry a stranger I've never met."

Ouyang Xi comforted her and said, "This boy should be married in college and the girl should be married in college. Your father probably thinks so?"

"Could it be that just because you've reached the age to talk about marriage, you have to find someone to marry? Isn't this too child's play?"

Hearing the words, Ouyang Xi not only lamented in his heart: You are the order of your parents and the words of the matchmaker, and your father carefully selected it for you. Compared with the rest of my basket, no matter how you look at it, it seems that I am more child's play Bar?

Of course Jiang Qingxiao didn't know what was going on in Ouyang Xi's mind, so she expressed her determination and said, "Anyway, if my father doesn't call off this marriage, I won't go home for a day!"

"So, because of this, you would rather take the ancestral jade pendant as a mortgage than go home to take the money, right?"

"Of course, if you go back, where can you escape?"

"Uh... After all, it's also your home. Needless to say, it seems to be a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, right?"

"My father may not be able to do anything, but my brother is hard to say. Speaking of which, if he hadn't told my father about the situation called Xia Lingyu, and added embellishments and compliments, I wouldn't have been put into such a case for no reason. Marriage." Jiang Qingxiao finished speaking indignantly, and then remembered the worries in her heart earlier, got up and went between Ouyang Xi and Qian Xiaobao, lowered her head and said in a pleading tone: "So, please, if you When you see my brother, don't mention my name in front of him, let alone tell him where I am hiding now."

Ouyang Xi patted his chest when he heard the words, "Then..."

But before he finished speaking, Qian Xiaobao interrupted in the middle: "If we meet Master Jiang, even if we don't tell, I'm afraid it will be difficult to hide your traces."

Jiang Qingxiao looked puzzled: "What do you mean by Brother Qian?"

Ouyang Xi also had a puzzled look on her face, so she said, "If we don't tell, Qing Xiao will definitely not tell, so how could her brother know her whereabouts?"

Qian Xiaobao patted the back of her hand to signal her to be calm, and continued after a pause: "To tell you the truth, Miss Qingxiao, we have an appointment with your brother Jiang Shaomen this time to ask for something. Although we ask you for help Jiang Shamen, the silver will not be less, but even if you take money to do things, you have to be careful. For people like us who are from other places and look very unfamiliar, it is not necessary to check the ins and outs of the background before doing things. Said."

Ouyang Xi interjected, "So..."

"So naturally we will also find out the person we have been with quite frequently in Jiangzhou in the past two days-Miss Jiang."

Ouyang Xi clapped her hands when she heard the words: "That's right, even if we don't tell you, Qing Xiao will naturally be unable to hide your whereabouts!"

Qian Xiaobao took a sneak look at Jiang Qingxiao, who had uncertain eyes, and said, "Of course, Miss Qingxiao can choose to leave Jiangzhou Inn right now, or simply leave Jiangzhou City before we meet Brother Ling, in that case , it should be difficult for them to find your trace."

Ouyang Xizi glanced at Jiang Qingxiao who bowed his head and said nothing, and after thinking for a while, he deliberately agreed: "This idea is good. But..."

"But what?" Jiang Qingxiao raised her head and stared at her intently, waiting for the next words.

"However, you will definitely not be able to redeem the jade pendant again. Because once your brother knows that you were with us, even if we are separated now, he will definitely send someone to watch us secretly. If Redeemer Yupei comes to reconcile with us, you will definitely be caught by your people!"

Jiang Qingxiao's expression was solemn when he heard the words, and he firmly believed in Ouyang Xi and Qian Xiaobao's words in his heart, worried in his heart, but there was nothing he could do for a while, and his face became more and more ugly at the moment.

Seeing this, Qian Xiaobao didn't take advantage of the victory to pursue him. He just looked at Ouyang Xi with a faint smile, and shook his head lightly to signal that he didn't need to continue talking.Ouyang Xi understood it, and showed her understanding with her eyes, and immediately shut down the conversation, lowered her head, picked up the teacup and pretended to drink tea.

Jiang Qingxiao thought for a moment, and then asked: "According to Brother Qian and Xiao Xi's intentions, if my whereabouts are not revealed, the two of you must never meet my brother."

Qian Xiaobao looked at her and nodded, but did not answer.

Jiang Qingxiao hesitated and said: "Then can I implore you two..."

Before he could finish speaking, Qian Xiaobao raised his left hand and stopped his palm outward: "I'm sorry, but I can't agree to the girl's request. We are here this time to ask Jiang Shamen's people for help. Will spend a lot of money to meet Jiang Shaomen."

Jiang Qingxiao also fell silent when she heard the words. To be honest, the person in front of her has been helping her since the first time they met, and now the request she made is a bit too much in terms of emotion and reason, and it is right for others not to agree, but, If she was really arrested because of this, then not only was her hard work in vain during this period, but marrying a stranger against her will was even more unbearable than death for her.

For a while, the three of them were silent, and a solemn smell slowly revealed in the air.Ouyang Xi didn't know what to do for a while, and secretly raised his eyes to look at Qian Xiaobao, only to find that the other party was also looking at her.

She turned her head and silently mouthed in Qian Xiaobao's direction and asked silently: What should we do now?

Qian Xiaobao gave her a gesture of calm down, and then pointed at Jiang Qingxiao indistinctly, signaling her to wait and see what happened.

Wait and see?So when will we wait?Wasn't Jiang Qingxiao's request just now denied?So why not take the opportunity to guide her?Ouyang Xi pondered for a moment, then deliberately turned to Jiang Qingxiao and said, "Actually, if it wasn't for Jiang Shamen's people who couldn't handle this matter, there would be no need to waste so much trouble."

Jiang Qingxiao was taken aback when she heard the words: Jiang Shamen?That's right, aren't you also from Jiang Shamen?Maybe they can do what they want to do, so don't they need to alarm the elder brother?

Thinking of this, the gloom in her heart dissipated immediately, and she hurriedly said to Qian Xiaobao: "Brother Qian just wants to spend money to ask people from Jiangshamen to help with things. I am the eldest lady of Jiangshamen, and my brother can do it." It's the same if you leave it to me to do it."

"Oh?" Qian Xiaobao looked at her with raised eyebrows, and said hesitantly, "It's not that I don't believe in Miss Qingxiao, it's just..."

"My father has always loved me, so my status in the sect is not inferior to my elder brother at all. Brother Qian doesn't need to worry."

"No, that's not what I'm going to talk about next." Qian Xiaobao stared at her intently and said, "It's just that since the girl escaped from marriage, it's not just her parents and elder brother, but even the subordinates in the door must also hide their whereabouts." Right? If you want to go to your subordinates to handle errands at this time, wouldn't that be the same as revealing your whereabouts?"

Jiang Qingxiao smiled confidently when he heard the words, and said: "Brother Qian's words are not bad, but there is really no need to worry about this. To be honest, the person who helped me inquire about the little thief before was also someone from my family, but this person He is my confidant, and he will never do anything against me."

Qian Xiaobao smiled reassuringly when he heard the words: "If that's the case, it would be the best."

Ouyang Xi also echoed from the side: "Yes, yes, in this way, firstly, you don't need to reveal your whereabouts, and secondly, our affairs can be handled properly. It really kills two birds with one stone."

Jiang Qingxiao said again: "Dare to ask what Brother Qian is going to do?"

Qian Xiaobao said: "I need Miss Qing Xiao to help me find someone."

"Oh, who is it?"

"Wang Changmu, the magistrate of Jiangzhou."

Jiang Qingxiao was shocked when he heard the words, and after thinking for a moment, he asked: "Brother Qian wants to investigate the people in the government? Dare I ask if it is a personal grudge or not?"

"It's not about personal grievances, but it's not about official entanglements. It's a long story. I'd better talk about it with the girl later."

"It's just that Jiang Shamen has never been involved in the gossip of officialdom, Brother Qian..."

Qian Xiaobao saw that Jiang Qingxiao seemed to be backing off, so he made another move: "Miss Qingxiao helps me with my affairs, so I will naturally not treat you badly, and will definitely pay a certain fee according to the market."

make money?This is not bad, it just so happens that I am very cash-strapped now.But judging from the current situation, it seems that he will be wandering outside for a period of time, and it is really inconvenient if he has no money by his side.Thinking of this, Jiang Qingxiao's heart was shaken. Seeing Qian Xiaobao lowered his head and contemplating for a moment, he seemed to agree, but he couldn't make the final decision.

Seeing this, Qian Xiaobao finally resorted to his final trump card: "I don't think it's better than this. If Miss Qingxiao can find someone to help me with this matter, when the matter is completed, I will not only pay the girl the corresponding fee, In return, I will also offer you the jade pendant that you pledged earlier with both hands, I wonder what the girl thinks?"

Not only earning money, but also getting back the ancestral jade pendant without spending a penny, what else is there to say?

Jiang Qingxiao immediately cupped his fists at Qian Xiaobao: "Deal!"
