As soon as he stepped into the door, the porter came forward: "Master is back, there are guests at home who have been waiting for you for a while." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Oh? Who is it? Jiang Qingliu said with some surprise.

"It's Miss Chen and her maid, who say it's a friend of Gongzi." The porter replied respectfully.

"Where are you now?" Jiang Qingliu narrowed his eyes slightly.

"In... Drink tea in the front foyer. The porter felt Jiang Qingliu's sharp gaze and immediately bowed down and explained, "If you return to your master, I originally arranged for them to rest in this gatehouse, but the maid said that it was from the prefect's house, and I saw that they didn't seem to have malicious intentions, so I took them to the front hall to wait, and I hope that the master will forgive me." ”

Jiang Qingliu listened and said lightly: "Okay, you go down." Then he turned to Qin Ziming and said, "Ziming, you go to the backyard warehouse to arrange to bring the prepared things to the car." ”

The porter immediately breathed a sigh of relief and retreated, and Qin Ziming also went to the backyard first.

Wang Jin followed Jiang Qingliu into the courtyard quite apprehensively, and sure enough, she saw Chen Huilan sitting under the begonia tree and the maid Xiaolian standing beside her.

Chen Huilan, who had followed the prestige, smiled in surprise when she saw Jiang Qingliu at first, and when she caught a glimpse of Wang Jin behind him, her smile stiffened a little. She clenched her sleeves, tried to maintain a gentle expression, and said to Jiang Qingliu and Wang Jinfu: "Gongzi Jiang, Miss Wang, I hope you don't have to blame Huilan for visiting today. ”

Jiang Qingliu also smiled back, approached her side, and said gently: "Miss Chen doesn't have to be formal, but Qingliu has made you wait for so long, I'm really sorry." He gestured with an inviting gesture, "Let's go to the hall and sit down and talk." ”

Seeing him so close to him, his warm and clear voice seemed to be in his ears, Chen Huilan couldn't help blushing and humming softly. Lift the corner of the skirt and turn around and go up the steps first. Jiang Qingliu raised his eyebrows at Wang Jin and motioned for her to come over, but Wang Jin hesitated. She whispered to Jiang Qingliu and asked, "Master Jiang, last time I asked Brother Qin to help me bring a message to Miss Chen, I wonder if he said it for me?" ”

"Well, that's the case." Jiang Qingliu touched his chin, as if reminiscing, and said, "I have already conveyed it to Miss Chen for you, she didn't take it to heart, you don't have to worry." ”

Wang Jin couldn't help but be surprised: "Really, did Jiang Gongzi say it for me, then it would be better!" "There is Jiang Qingliu out of the horse, so how can Miss Chen remember what happened to her. But had they ever met in private? It looked like they were familiar with what they had just spoken. Hehe, isn't that Lang having a concubine? Then I have to help them, how can I say that Jiang Qingliu is not bad to his family, but he can't let him lose a good marriage. The thoughts in her mind were flying, and her expression was uncertain, which made Jiang Qingliu, who was looking at her, a little puzzled.

"Jiang Gongzi?" Chen Huilan, who had already walked to the front of the hall, suddenly spoke up. She originally wanted to talk to Jiang Qingliu casually, but she didn't want to turn around and see that he was still in the same place, and she was looking at Wang Jian with a good look, and she felt a thorn in her heart, and couldn't help but remind.

Jiang Qingliu retracted his eyes when he heard this, smiled at Chen Huilan, strode forward, led her into the hall and sat down, and ordered someone to make tea.

He was at the top, with Wang Hibiscus and Chen Huilan sitting on the left and right. Chen Huilan raised her eyes and looked at Wang Hibiscus without a trace, and saw that she was wearing women's clothes today, although it was an ordinary apricot yellow cotton dress, only a few pink hibiscus petals were embroidered on the corners and cuffs and neckline, but the style was a little chic. Especially at the waist, the three-foot-wide tunic design and the matching of pleated stripes up and down make her even more slender and slender. In addition, in addition to the beauty of her daughter's family, Wang Jin's appearance is more vibrant, smart and lively, and intimate. She felt a slight sour feeling in her heart, she was obviously a shabby, but she didn't know who she could dress up like this, and she didn't be with her family during the festival, but she came here to show her eyes, I'm afraid it was for Jiang Gongzi.

"Miss Wang is younger than me, so I'll call you Sister Wang. I don't know why my sister came into the city today, and she happened to meet Jiang Gongzi again? She asked Wang Jian with a smile, but there was a slight disdain in her eyes.

As soon as Wang Jian heard this, he secretly shouted that it was bad, but don't let Miss Chen misunderstand, it would not be good to have a disagreement with Jiang Qingliu. As soon as I wanted to explain, I heard Jiang Qingliu's voice say: "Today is also a coincidence, I met Miss Wang when I went to watch the dragon boat race, so I asked her to come and take some gifts to take back." ”

Wang Jin couldn't help but feel relieved when he heard this, secretly thinking that this Jiang Qingliu not only has a high IQ, but also has a good EQ, and knows that he must avoid suspicion in front of his sweetheart, and his children can be taught!

Chen Huilan felt a little better when she heard him say this, but she selfishly felt that Wang Jian was too ignorant of etiquette, and always asked Jiang Qingliu to spend money for her, both entertaining and giving gifts, and she looked like a matter of course, which was really infuriating! Thinking of the dissatisfaction that Jiang Qingliu had expressed on the boat before, she instantly had confidence in her heart, so she said to Wang Jian with a smile: "Then I don't know what kind of gift Sister Wang gave to Jiang Gongzi?" "Seeing that your hands are empty, and you don't have much inheritance at home, you probably won't prepare anything good.

Sure enough, Wang Jin smiled wryly: "Today I also met Jiang Gongzi by chance, and I didn't have time to prepare any good things, only some rice dumplings wrapped at home." ”

Chen Huilan covered her mouth with a handkerchief and chuckled: "Speaking of which, I came in a hurry today, and I couldn't choose it well, so I had to take a small plaything, and I don't know if Jiang Gongzi likes it or not." As she spoke, she gestured slightly to Xiaolian behind her, and Xiaolian knowingly took out a carved lacquer hollow wooden box one inch wide and four inches long from her sleeve, walked up and handed it to Jiang Qingliu.

Jiang Qingliu was slightly surprised, and after taking the box and opening it, it turned out to be a jade flute only three inches long, the jade was warm and moist, and it was smooth and greasy, and it was connected with a duck-yellow tassel knot at one end, which could be tied to the body. He closed the lid, put the box on the table, and said softly: "Why is Miss Chen so polite, this makes Qingliu embarrassed, what should I give in return." ”

Chen Huilan was proud in her heart, but she smiled shyly on her face: "It's good if the son likes it, and Huilan doesn't care about returning the gift or something." After speaking, she glanced at Wang Hibiscus, and saw that she was looking directly at the box, and couldn't help sneering in her heart, it was really a shallow thing.

The reason why Wang Jin looks like this is actually that she feels that the wattage of her light bulb is too large, so she has to pretend that she can't hear it, and she looks like her attention is all about other places. People are giving things here, and they are so embarrassed that they are a third party.

"By the way, I wonder why Miss Chen has time to come to the Humble House today?" Jiang Qingliu asked again.

"Today, I accompanied my father to watch the dragon boat, I couldn't bear to listen to those officialdom interactions, so I came back first after lunch. Passing by this neighborhood, I stopped by to have a look. Chen Huilan said softly, with a shy face.

Wang Jin thought to himself that this is not on the same line, how can he pass by, he obviously wants to see his lover, hey, it is really tiring to fall in love in ancient times!

Jiang Qingliu didn't seem to notice it, and said with a slight smile: "The prefect is busy with affairs, and there are many entertainments during the festival, so Miss Chen is tired." ”

"As a parent official, my father should be tired. As for me, I'm just going to have a good time, but I'm not tired. Chen Huilan covered her mouth and chuckled.

At this time, Qin Ziming walked in and said to Jiang Qingliu: "Son, everything is ready." ”

Wang Jian was greatly excited when he heard this, and he could finally retreat! She immediately said to Jiang Qingliu: "Since everything is done, then I will go home early, Jiang Gongzi, Miss Chen, I will leave first." ”

Jiang Qingliu nodded slightly: "It's okay, I'll send you out." ”

Wang Jin hurriedly waved his hand: "No need, no need, Jiang Gongzi, you can stay here to accompany Miss Chen, I'll just go out by myself, you're welcome." ”

Chen Huilan glanced at Wang Jian in surprise when she heard this, but heard Jiang Qingliu say: "It's okay, I will send you out for a while, and Miss Chen won't mind if you want to come." ”

The expression on her face paused, and she immediately smiled and said: "Of course not, sending guests is the courtesy of the main family, and it should be so." ”

Jiang Qingliu smiled slightly, and got up to send Wang Jian out.

Chen Huilan looked at the backs of the two of them one after the other, and clenched the handkerchief hard, finally feeling uneasy, and said to Xiaolian: "Let's go, let's also send Miss Wang." ”

When I walked to the gate, I heard Wang Jin's sweet voice say: "Brother Qin, Jiang Gongzi, I specially took more of these zongzi, you can keep them and eat them." ”

"I said how could there be such a package in the carriage, it turned out to be zongzi, then thank you Miss Wang, I haven't eaten enough of the salted meat and brown." Qin Ziming took the bag of zongzi and said. Then he remembered one more thing, and hurriedly said: "Miss Wang, don't forget the sachet you promised us, I'll wait to change it!" ”

Wang Jin only then remembered this stubble, he was really carried away by all kinds of appreciative glances at the time, but since he promised to fulfill it, he said happily: "Don't worry, I will definitely send it to you this month!" I remembered that I had promised Jiang Qingliu to make one for him too, but people already have a sweetheart, is it appropriate to make it for him myself?

"Miss Wang, don't forget my share, I'm waiting to change it." Jiang Qingliu raised his eyebrows and reminded with a smile.

"Hey, hey, well, I won't forget it, and I'll be the best for you then!" Somewhat dazzled by Jiang Qingliu's bright smile with a bit of banter at the moment, Wang Jian said unconsciously. Alas, when it comes to the lethality of handsome guys, it makes people beat their chests and feet.

Jiang Qingliu nodded with satisfaction, and watched Wang Jian get into the carriage and leave before returning to the courtyard.

It's just that their conversation just now has made Chen Huilan hear clearly. That Wang Jian actually wanted to give Jiang Qingliu a sachet, and he was ashamed to say that he would make the best gift to him, which was really shameless. When Jiang Qingliu turned around, she still had a smile on her face, and she was even more angry and sour in her heart, secretly thinking that Jiang Gongzi was such an elegant and upright gentleman, if the surnamed Wang really used some shameless tricks to seduce him, I was afraid that she would really fall for her. No, I can't let her succeed, I have to think of some way. She had this thought, and she was a little absent-minded when she talked to Jiang Qingliu, Jiang Qingliu saw that she was so strange, so she fell in love, and after sending her away, he told Qin Ziming to pay close attention to her movements.

And Wang Jin, who was supposed to go out of the city, was talking to Dongzi and them at the Hui Tea Shop in Xiangmurofang at the moment.
