Jiang Li didn't expect Qian Qingqing to be here. He and Xuan Qing didn't say goodbye to the girl when they left Qian's mansion. She must have waited on this road after she knew about it.
Jiang Li's mood was a little delicate, he always felt that this girl came here specially for him. It's not that he is narcissistic, it's because of Qian Yuanwai's performance today that he has to think about it. With Qian Yuanwai's temperament of doting on his daughter so much, if Qian Qingqing hadn't nodded, he would never have made up his mind to match Qian Qingqing and himself.
Xuan Qing must have noticed this, otherwise he would not have let the coachman leave after knowing that it was Qian Qingqing who came.
Xuan Qing's nature of being jealous, who obviously can't remember the past with her, has not changed at all.
Jiang Li couldn't help but let out a low laugh, and the originally a little bored mood suddenly disappeared. In fact, no matter whether he remembers himself or not, some things can never be changed, and they will only belong to each other after all.
Xuan Qing heard his laughter, opened her eyes and looked at him: "What are you laughing at?"
"It's nothing, I'm just happy to see Miss Qian come to see me off in person." Jiang Li smiled, seeing his eyes slightly changed because of his words, and the corners of his lips unconsciously pursed, he felt even happier, and said, "I'll go and Miss Qian said goodbye."
Xuan Qing opened her mouth, wanting to stop him, but felt that she had no reason to do so, Qian Qingqing was just here to send someone off, why did she want to stop him
And in just a few seconds of his doubts, Jiang Li lifted the door curtain and jumped out of the car. It was too late to stop him, so he could only follow him out of the car.
Qian Qingqing didn't come alone, she was accompanied by a personal servant girl and two strong servants. Because of Jiang Feihua, she even brought guards when she went out.
Seeing Jiang Li getting out of the car, her eyes showed obvious joy, and she subconsciously took half a step forward, but when she saw Xuan Qing who was coming down behind him, she stopped abruptly, just now when Xuan Qing opened the curtain, she clearly saw However, he still lowered the curtain, which proved that he didn't like him.
Even a little annoying.
Qian Qingqing didn't understand why Xuan Qing hated her. In her impression, she and Xuan Qing didn't have any communication other than saying hello when they first met.
For Xuan Qing, apart from being grateful, she was still a little scared. She always felt that he was different from ordinary monks. Maybe it was because he felt too indifferent and cold, but now was the last chance to say goodbye to Jiang Li. She gritted her teeth, took a step forward, and said to the two of them, "Mr. Jiang, Master Xuanqing, it's not surprising that Qingqing is taking the liberty to stop the car."
Xuan Qing didn't say anything, Jiang Li smiled and nodded towards her: "Miss Qian is out of sight. She left in a hurry this morning and didn't have time to say goodbye to you. I hope you are not angry."
"Of course not." Qian Qingqing said hastily, and said with some hesitation, "Qingqing knows that you and Master Xuanqing are busy with affairs, so you shouldn't bother me..."
"Then please."
Before Qian Qingqing could finish her sentence, Xuan Qing suddenly interjected and blocked the rest of her words, feeling a little embarrassed for a moment, not knowing whether she should continue or not.
Seeing her biting her lips in a daze, Jiang Li knew that she must have summoned up the courage to come here. Although he had no intention of treating her, it was sincere and should at least be respected, so he said to her: "No Excuse me, it is our honor that Miss Qian is willing to see you off."
Jiang Li's words made Qian Qingqing heave a sigh of relief: "It's fine if you don't blame, sir."
Jiang Li nodded and said, "Although Jiang Feihua's matter has been resolved, this place is quite far from the city gate. It's not suitable for you to stay in a girl's house for a long time. Go back early."
His caring words warmed Qian Qingqing's heart, and she said with a smile: "Thank you, sir, for your concern." After she finished speaking, she paused, as if giving herself a little time to encourage herself, took a deep breath, and then boldly told Jiang Li Said: "Sir, I have a few words I want to say to you alone, is that okay?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt that there was something more in Xuan Qing's eyes looking at her, which caused a thick layer of cold sweat to form on her back, but she still suppressed her fear and said to Jiang Li again: "Sir, Please."
Jiang Liyue could guess what she was going to say, and wanted to decline politely, but seeing the pleading in her eyes, and the fingers tightly pinching the handkerchief, with nails that were about to dig into the flesh, she still couldn't bear to say no. Come.
"Of course." He nodded, then turned to Xuan Qing and said, "Wait for me."
Xuan Qing kept silent, watching him and Qian Qingqing walking under the shade of the tree next to him, even he didn't notice it, his eyes were as dark as dark clouds.
Under his gaze, Qian Qingqing felt like a thorn in her back, trembling with fear every step she took.
Now that Qian Qingqing has already chased here, she stopped coddling and went under the shade of the tree, first saluted Jiang Li, and then said: "Smart as Mr., I should have guessed why Qingqing came here, forgive Qingqing for being dull , I want to ask, why did you reject my father's words, what's wrong with Qingqing, why won't you be favored by your husband?"
What she said was the same as what Jiang Li guessed, Jiang Li shook his head: "Of course not, Miss Qian is well educated, kind-hearted, she is a rare good girl."
"Why is that? Is there a married person in your family?" Qian Qingqing asked. After learning that Jiang Li had left today, she knew that he had no intention of treating her, but it was the first time in her life that she felt good for someone. Not caring about face, he led his people to this road that Jiang Li had to pass when he left Xincheng County to wait.
"That's not true." Jiang Li smiled, and said to her sincerely, "Jiang Li is deeply honored that Miss Qian has the same heart, but he already has someone he likes in his heart. Apart from him, there will never be another person who will grow old hand in hand people."
Qian Qingqing had also guessed his answer. Hearing him say it himself, she still felt a little sad. The little comparison mentality that belonged to her little daughter Jiajia made her unable to help asking: "Is she beautiful? How are you, sir?" ?”
Hearing this, Jiang Li glanced at Xuan Qing not far away from the corner of his eye, and found that he was still looking at him, couldn't help but smiled, and said to Qian Qingqing: "I can't describe it as beautiful, but it is true that it is beautiful. In my mind, he is prettier than anyone else."
"As for being nice to me..."
Jiang Li paused for a moment: "He is willing to exchange his life for mine, and he doesn't hesitate."
What he said surprised Qian Qingqing. Although she was tempted by Jiang Li, it was impossible for her to exchange her life for Jiang Li's life at this stage.
Thinking of this, she knew that she was not as good as the person in Jiang Li's heart, and she was not a stalker, so she nodded and said, "I see, thank you sir for telling the truth."
Jiang Li said: "Miss Qian is as beautiful as a flower, and she knows people well. In the future, I will definitely meet someone who is as good as you."
With Qian Qingqing's appearance and family background, there are countless people who want to marry her. When she reached Jiji last year, many people rushed to the mansion to ask for a marriage, but she didn't like it.
Jiang Li has a handsome face and is courageous and scheming. Knowing how powerful Jiang Feihua is, she is willing to risk her life to save her from fire and water. How can she not be tempted by such a person
It's just that no matter how beautiful she is, no matter how good her family background is, no matter how knowledgeable she is, she is not the person he wants after all.
"Thank you sir for your auspicious words. There is still some way to go to the next town, Qingqing will not waste your time." She said, beckoning to the maid beside her, who came over and handed a wooden food box to she.
Qian Qingqing handed the food box to Jiang Li and said, "I made some cakes myself. If you don't mind, sir, I can take them with you on the way to satisfy your hunger."
After she finished her meal today, she went to the small kitchen to make some snacks for Jiang Li herself, but she didn't know that Jiang Li had already left when she brought them over.
Jiang Li couldn't refuse her kindness, so he said thank you after accepting it.
Qian Qingqing shook her head with a smile, but her eyes were a little moist. She saluted Jiang Li again and said, "Thank you again for saving my life, sir. Sir, there will be a period later. "
Jiang Li nodded, said "there will be a period later" and turned to walk towards Xuan Qing.
Both of them said "there will be a time later", but they both know that there should be no chance to see each other after this farewell.
Qian Qingqing watched him go to Xuanqing's side, the two got into the carriage, the door curtain fell, blocking her view, and then the carriage drove away.
She stood there for a long time, until the personal servant girl stepped forward to remind her, she nodded and said: "Go back."
…
On the other side, as soon as Jiang Li got into the carriage, he put the food box given by Qian Qingqing on the coffee table, opened the lid, and said to Xuan Qing: "Miss Qian personally made the snacks, let's have a taste."
Xuan Qing crossed her legs and stood still: "Don't eat."
Knowing that he was jealous, Jiang Li was very happy. He reached out and took out a small piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, put it on the tip of his nose and shook it: "Isn't it delicious? Really don't want to eat it?"
Xuan Qing was unmoved, and didn't even look at it.
Jiang Li gave a "tsk", stuffed the sweet-scented osmanthus cake into his mouth and took a bite, saying, "If you don't eat it, it's Miss Qian's heart. I'll save it and eat it slowly."
Xuan Qing: "..."
Xuan Qing looked down at the food box, always felt that it was extremely dazzling, and had the urge to throw it out of the car, but Jiang Li might get angry with herself in this way.
So he put his palm on the side wall of the carriage at a place Jiang Li couldn't see, and with a little effort, he forced the whole body to tilt to one side, causing the carriage to shake. The driver was worried about overturning, so he quickly pulled the horse rope, and then The whole car stopped suddenly!
And that box of pastries was naturally turned over from the small coffee table, and the pastries rolled into the carriage, covered with dust.
When the carriage stopped, Jiang Li quickly grabbed the side window and asked the driver, "Uncle, what's wrong?"
"It's okay, maybe I accidentally ran over a ditch." The coachman replied, and then continued on his way.
Xuan Qing did it secretly, so Jiang Li naturally didn't think of him, but looked at the dusty cakes with some pity, picked them up, put them back in the food box, and didn't move any more.
He didn't notice that when he put the lid on, the corners of Xuan Qing's lips rose invisibly.
It took the two of them six days to return to Qingshui Town. As soon as they reached the entrance of their inn, Jiang Li jumped out of the carriage and asked Xuan Qing to pay the coachman because he had all the money, and then walked into the inn by himself.
It was Haishi at this moment, and the lobby of the inn was quiet, only a man about fifty years old at the checkout counter was lowering his head and writing the account book.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, he thought that a guest was coming, so he stopped writing and raised his head. When he saw Jiang Li, he was stunned.
Jiang Li quickly walked in front of him, and shouted with a smile: "Father."
Jiang's father was called back to his senses by his "Father". He realized that his son had returned, and immediately came out from the inside, his tone full of joy and excitement: "Li'er is back!"
"En." Jiang Li held his hand. He knew from Yuanshen's memory that Jiang's father looked somewhat similar to his father in his previous life. Seeing him now, the sense of familiarity came over his face, which made him feel kind.
"It's good to be back, it's good to be back, come and sit down, Dad will let the kitchen serve you a bowl of noodles."
Jiang's father said that he was about to go inside, but Jiang Li grabbed him and said, "Two bowls, Dad, I brought someone back."
Father Jiang stopped and asked, "Oh, is that your classmate?"
"no."
Not a classmate, so could it be...
Jiang's father remembered the marriage event mentioned by his son in the correspondence with his son two months ago, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he said excitedly: "Could it be..."
"Amitabha."
Father Jiang hadn't finished speaking when a cold voice from the side interrupted him. He turned his head and saw a young monk with an outstanding appearance standing aside, clasped his hands together, nodded, and said: " Benefactor Jiang, I'm sorry for the late night visit."
Father Jiang: "??"
Didn't you bring your daughter-in-law back? ? How is a monk
