Xuan Qing still remembers how when he first met Jiang Li, he jumped on top of him nimbly after seeing the bandits.
In less than two months from that time, Jiang Li's skills have improved by leaps and bounds. Today, when one fights four, even the clothes are not messed up, which is really shocking.
It is nonsense in Xuan Qing's eyes that he is so eager to save his father that no one can beat him.
Only Father Jiang believed his nonsense, and after hearing what he said, he stopped asking.
And Jiang Li seemed to be aware of Xuan Qing's thoughts, turned around and looked at him with a smile, and asked kindly: "Little master, what are you doing looking at me like this? Is there something wrong with what I said?"
Xuan Qing: ... None of the sentences are correct.
At this time, Lu Xianxian ran in from the outside, and after seeing Jiang Li and Jiang's father, she asked anxiously, "Uncle Jiang, brother Jiang Li, are you all right? I heard that someone came to the restaurant to make trouble! Are you not hurt?"
Today, she accompanied the old lady at home to burn incense in the temple, and when she came back, she heard the helper at home say that someone was making trouble in Jiang's restaurant, smashed the restaurant, and even went to the yamen, so scared that she ran over immediately.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's been resolved." Father Jiang waved his hand, seeing her as if she had just come back from outside, and asked, "Has Xianxian eaten? How about eating at Uncle's house?"
"Okay!" Lu Xianxian felt relieved and readily agreed.
Jiang's father told Xiao Er to greet the guests in the restaurant, and then let everyone go home for dinner together.
After dinner, Lu Xianxian took out two peace charms from her small purse, handed one to Father Jiang and the other to Jiang Li, and said, "Uncle Jiang, brother Jiang Li, this is the amulet I begged for in the temple." Yes, for your safety, I give it to you, I hope you are in good health."
Father Jiang cheerfully reached out to take the peace talisman in her hand, thanked her, and carefully put it away. Seeing that Jiang Li hadn't moved, he reminded him: "Li'er, what are you doing in a daze? .”
Speaking of which, there is nothing wrong with giving a safe talisman to acquaintances, but although Lu Xianxian didn't tell the truth, everyone knows that she has some meaning for Jiang Li, so the meaning is different.
When she took out the peace talisman, Xuan Qing's eyes stopped on Jiang Li, and when he saw him raise his hand to take the peace talisman in Lu Xianxian's hand under Jiang's father's urging, his eyes instantly turned cold.
The hands in his sleeves clenched into fists suddenly, staring at the small peace talisman, with a flash of hostility in his eyes.
"Thank you Xianxian." Jiang Li took the talisman, patted Lu Xianxian's head, and said with a smile, "I went to burn the incense and thought about asking for the talisman. I have always treated you as my younger sister."
He emphasized the word "sister" in this sentence, and anyone who is interested can understand what it means.
Upon hearing this, Xuan Qing slowly let go of her hands, and the coldness in her eyes dissipated.
Lu Xianxian was also a clever little girl, so there was no reason why she didn't understand what he meant. Seeing his smile, she suddenly had the urge to cry.
She grew up with Jiang Li since she was a child, and she had already thought about marrying him when she was a child. She finally looked forward to him returning from school, but he said that he only regarded himself as a younger sister.
Lu Xianxian's eyes were slightly red, she bit her lip, and wanted to say something. Kong Yu, who came back from washing his hands, heard Jiang Li say the word "Peace Talisman", and ran up quickly, saying excitedly: "Which one of you wants to be safe?" Talismans? I have a lot here!"
Speaking of this, he opened his small canvas bag, reached out his hand to take it out, and grabbed a handful of talisman paper folded into a triangle shape: "I brought these from the Taoist temple. Some are for safety, and some are for luck. There are also peach blossoms, there is no guarantee whether it will work or not, but the heart is the most important thing, right? Don't be polite to me, just take whatever you want!"
Jiang Li: "..."
Xuan Qing: "..."
Father Jiang: "..."
Xianxian: "..."
Lu Xianxian was disturbed by him, as if the peace talisman she had asked for was worthless, and the sadness of being rejected by Jiang Li just now turned into anger, and she glared at Kong Yu fiercely: "Who cares about your broken talisman?" Talisman paper! Smelly Taoist! Hmph!"
After speaking, he pushed Kong Yu away and trotted out of Jiang's house.
Kong Yu looked inexplicably, and looked at everyone: "Why is she angry? I don't want to give it for free? Others still have to spend money to go to our Taoist temple to beg!"
As he said, he stuffed a few peach blossom charms for Father Jiang and Jiang Li, among which peach blossom talismans were the most, and he said: "Your family's fortune has been rolling in, so get more peach blossom talismans. Bring the peach blossoms we came to watch in the cloud." Fu, shopkeeper Jiang, I wish you a happy face, and you will come naturally with your second brace. As for the little shopkeeper, I wish you an early marriage to a beautiful girl, two in three years and four in five years!"
Xuan Qing twitched her brows when she heard his messy blessings: "...shut up."
Kong Yu looked back at him, and said with some disapproval, "You want it too? Why don't you leave as a monk?"
Xuan Qing is naturally not interested in his so-called talisman papers, what he cares about is the blessings in his mouth, what about "holding two for three years and four for five years", he and Jiang Li are both men, how can they be born? !
Father Jiang was also a little embarrassed by what he said, scoring twice or something, the old man felt blush just thinking about it.
On the contrary, Jiang Li was very calm, and said to Kong Yu with a smile: "Then I will accept your good words."
Xuan Qing: "..."
When it was time to close at night, Jiang Li wrapped a red envelope for each of the boys who were working in the restaurant today. If it weren't for them today, the old father would have been injured.
Now that the restaurant is fully staffed, Jiang's father no longer needs to watch the night. After Jiang Li fed Jiang Nuomi, he called Jiang Li into the room and asked him if he didn't have any affection for Lu Xianxian.
Jiang Li knew that his father was very satisfied with Lu Xianxian, and that the Jiang and Lu families had a good relationship. From his father's point of view, if he and Lu Xianxian could get married, it would be best if they got closer.
It's just that Jiang Li doesn't want anyone except Xuan Qing, so it will only hurt Lu Xianxian.
So, he confessed to Jiang's father that he really didn't have that kind of meaning for Lu Xianxian, only brother and sister.
Father Jiang saw his serious face and sincere words, knowing that he was telling the truth, he couldn't help feeling pity in his heart, and sighed: "Forget it, since you didn't mean it, I won't force you."
Jiang Li caught the disappointment in his eyes, got up from the chair, put ginger glutinous rice on his lap, then walked around behind him and squeezed his shoulders, saying: "Don't worry so much, isn't there a saying that 'Is fate determined by fate'? There is no rush for such a thing."
"How can you not worry about it?" Father Jiang shook his head, scratching Jiang Nuomi's chin lightly, and smiled, "People of your age have already married wives and had children, and there is no one around you. They say they are married, and now The restaurant business is also doing well, but you make me happy to have a family!"
"It's okay for me to start a family, but I'm afraid you will be unhappy."
Listening to his words, Jiang Li thought of the little bald donkey at the opposite door, and muttered something in his mouth.
He spoke too vaguely, Father Jiang couldn't hear clearly for a while: "What did you say?"
"I didn't say anything." Jiang Li paused, and asked tentatively, "Father, if the person I'm looking for doesn't suit you, you won't kick me out of the house, will you?"
Jiang's father let out a laugh, and said: "What nonsense, what you are looking for must be what you want, what is it that is what I want? It's just what you like, dad doesn't have any requirements."
"Really?" Jiang Li stopped pinching his shoulders and reached out to give him a high five, "It's a deal."
"You brat, you're afraid that I won't be able to lie to you."
Jiang's father pretended to be angry and glared at him, but followed his will and gave him a high five.
When he came out of Jiang's father's house, Jiang Li hummed happily. As soon as he came out, he saw Xuan Qing standing at the door of the opposite room, looking straight in his direction.
Jiang Li guessed that he should have been standing here since he entered, now that it was almost winter, and the night was very cold, he didn't even know how to add more clothes.
"Master host, the hero has played a trick on you." The system reminded.
"Yeah." Jiang Li smiled, "I'm just willing to take the bait, what a headache."
He closed Father Jiang's room door, walked up to Xuan Qing, and asked knowingly: "Little master, you don't rest at night, what are you doing standing here?"
Because of Lu Xianxian's trip at night, Xuan Qing guessed that Father Jiang called Jiang Li over to talk about Jiang Li's marriage. Having lived in Jiang's house for so long, he naturally knew that Lu Xianxian was interested in Jiang Li, and that Jiang's father was very satisfied with Lu Xianxian.
Although he could feel that Jiang Li liked him, but Jiang Li's attitude towards him was always a little uncertain, which made him feel uneasy, especially in the past few days, he was tossing and turning, worried that he would make a mistake.
So he has been waiting here since just now, wanting to ask Jiang Li for an answer.
"I'm waiting for you." Xuan Qing looked at Jiang Li and said in a low voice.
"Wait for me? Wait for me to do?" It was the expected answer, but Jiang Li pretended to be surprised, paused, and suddenly realized, "It's cold, can't you sleep alone?"
... No, I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep if you marry a wife and have children.
Xuan Qing thought to herself, shook her head, and said, "No."
"What is that? Do you want to sleep with Jiang Nuomi too?" Jiang Li stuffed the drowsy Jiang Nuomi into his arms, "Okay, I'll give it to you."
Xuan Qing: "..."
Jiang Nuomi was awakened by Jiang Li's movements, opened her eyes sleepily, and found that the person holding her had turned into Xuan Qing, she called out to him, changed her position and continued to sleep.
Seeing Xuan Qing's helpless expression, Jiang Li gave a low laugh, then suddenly reached out and touched the top of his head, and said, "Little master, you must look better if you have hair."
Because of holding Jiang Nuomi just now, his palm was still a little hot, touching the top of Xuan Qing's head, there was a warm feeling.
Hearing this, Xuan Qing pulled his hand down, held it in the palm of his hand, and shook his head: "It's not pretty."
Xuan Qing told him the reason.
A monk who has undergone abstinence scars will have a certain degree of trauma to his scalp, so most of the places where the abstinence scars are located will not be able to grow hair, so even if he returns to vulgarity in the future, he will not be able to grow hair, which can only disappoint Jiang Li.
"Is that so?"
Hearing this, Jiang Li said in embarrassment, "That would be terrible."
"What's wrong?" Xuan Qing didn't know why.
Jiang Li touched his ring scar with the other hand, and said in a heavy tone, "Little monk, do you know what my father and I were talking about just now?"
Xuan Qing: "What are you talking about?"
Jiang Li sighed, and said with great regret, "I said we'll get married when your hair reaches your waist. It seems like there's no chance."
Xuan Qing: "..."
Wait, I can try harder! !
