Chapter Seventy-Two: Mismatch

If it was normal, she wouldn't think much about it, but Old Madam Chu had just asked her mind yesterday. Today, Chu Qiyan couldn't wait to see her when he returned home.

This made it difficult for Xie Ke not to think about it.

As usual, he ordered the girl to serve tea, and Xie Ke put his hands on his knees and sat upright without saying more. Chu Qiyan tasted a few sips of tea a little absentmindedly, and his eyes couldn't help but focus on Xie Ke.

Today's Xie Ke is wearing a azure Hangzhou silk gown, with a Nanzhu golden hairpin on her head, which is obviously a very ordinary dress, but in Chu Qiyan's eyes, it is extremely beautiful, and I am afraid that there will be no more beautiful girl than her in the world.

Thinking of what my mother said to him. How did Chu Qiyan still press the next ......

Finally, in the smiling eyes of his mother, he hurried here.

Seeing that Xie Ke was silent, from his point of view, he could only see Xie Ke's jade-like jaw. If you add one point to the curvature of the jaw, it will be too much, and if you subtract one point, you will lose.

and the way she sits with her head down, reserved with her unique temperament.

It seems that from the first acquaintance, she is extremely intelligent. She was able to perceive many things without the need for her elders to explain them, and she did everything she did very well, and her grandmother and mother praised her for her intelligence more than once. And in his heart, he secretly felt that she was indeed incomparably smart.

Although she has always treated him kindly, it seems that she treats everyone kindly.

Brother Jin treated her coldly, and she still seemed to greet her with a smile.

He thought that he was only her brother in his life, and he could only be her brother, but he didn't want to......

Just, is her heart happy? Would she like to? Willing to ...... for him Do you want to stay in the Chu clan for a long time? "Sister Bao. How are you? Originally, he didn't want to be so alienated with her, but when he opened his mouth, he found that under Xie Ke's reserved face, he couldn't say anything about it.

Xie Ke nodded.

"Naturally, it's good, when did Cousin Qi come back? When to leave? I'll send you to the government school then? Xie Ke's performance was no different from usual, but Chu Qiyan's heart was sour, seven years, for seven years, he only remembered her.

Even if he didn't say it, she really couldn't feel it?

What's more, she is about to return to the Xie family, and she didn't give up on him at all before leaving? When he got home, she smiled and asked him when he was leaving, and said with a smile that she would see him off in person. Xie Ke, Sister Bao, doesn't she have him in her heart?

But......

But my mother's words were clear. The beautiful things he never dared to think about before are about to come true.

Mustering up courage, Chu Qiyan looked up at Xie Ke. "I only got home this morning and left three days later. Sister Bao, you ...... If you have time, you often go to the second room to play, and my mother always mentions you, and I think that if you have time, you will often visit my mother, and my mother will be very happy. ”

Although Xie Ke's face was the same as before, he couldn't help but feel a storm in his heart.

Chu Qiyan said that he was quite out of order, he was a young man, and he invited her to play at home, which was not out of proportion. If he was from a small family, it would be fine, but he was the second son of the Chu family. This is quite profound.

Xie Ke wondered if he had pretended to be confused as he had done before.

can think of the old lady Chu's words yesterday and stopped, plus today Chu Qiyan just returned and came to look for her. It seemed to be an unrelated matter, but Xie Ke obviously noticed something unusual.

Connecting several things in series, Xie Ke slowly raised his head, his eyes fixed on Chu Qiyan. That gaze was as clear as the bright moon in the sky, which made Chu Qiyan feel a little ashamed. Obviously looking forward to her looking at him, but she really looked at him seriously, but he felt like he was on pins and needles.

"Cousin Qi, I'm afraid that next time you return home, I will no longer be in the Chu family. Thanks to Cousin Qi's care over the past few years, I thank you here in advance. ”

Xie Ke got up and bowed down, Chu Qiyan was at a loss for a while, and he couldn't help him, and it didn't seem appropriate to receive this blessing. “…… Sister Bao, you don't have to be sad, Mother said...... You're only going back to Jian'an temporarily, and you'll be back soon. In a hurry, Chu Qiyan didn't choose to speak.

Xie Ke's face changed suddenly, and he got up and took a step back, widening the distance between him and Chu Qiyan.

"Cousin, please be careful."

“…… I didn't mean to, Sister Bao, I'll tell you the truth. My mother said...... Grandmother talked about us yesterday...... In short, you can return to the Xie family with peace of mind, and grandmother will send someone to the Xie family soon. ”

In the end, Chu Qiyan still failed to keep silent about everything as his mother told him.

In fact, he is not so unconcealable, but in front of Xie Ke, he feels that he is a frizzy boy. Xie Ke's face changed instantly, becoming pale and bloodless. This change frightened Chu Qiyan a lot, he had never seen Xie Ke lose his temper like this, he couldn't help but get up and stepped forward in a hurry, but Xie Ke took two steps back.

"Sister Bao......"

"Brother Qi'er, you can go with me to see my grandmother now, I have something to discuss with my grandmother." Xie Ke seemed to have made up his mind, and got up and was about to walk out. Chu Qiyan seemed to be shocked by Xie Ke, in his heart, Xie Ke has always been a gentle and quiet girl, when has he ever seen Xie Ke's emotions exposed. Chu Qiyan couldn't help but persuade. "Sister Bao, what do you have to do to see your grandmother...... Why do you want me to go with you? "Naturally, it's a matter of returning home."

"Why do you want me to accompany you?"

“…… If Cousin Qi doesn't want to, I'll go myself. "I can't say what I feel in my heart, but I'm disappointed. No matter how much Mrs. Chu loves her and pities her, she will ...... after all Chu Ke walked out of the yard, and Chu Qiyan finally caught up.

***

At the same time, Jian'an Xie's.

Xie Nian looked at the letter from Wangchuan with a happy face, his daughter Xie Ke has been in the Chu family for seven years, but there are only a handful of people who take the initiative to write to him. Xie Nian's face was filled with a bright smile because of this.

Cheng Shancai followed behind Xie Nian, and a few smiles finally appeared on his face that had not been happy for a long time.

For a few years, my grandfather has been suffering all day long, although his knowledge is getting more and more powerful, but this day is becoming more and more not like a day.

In the whole courtyard, except for a few mothers-in-law, there is not even a young woman, that is, Mrs. Xie chatters every day, and her own master seems to be iron-hearted, so he does not nod his head to remarry no matter what.

Every time Cheng Shancai saw the lights in his master's study burning all night, he felt a kind of worry that could not be dissolved. Since the sudden death of the fourth grandmother, my grandfather seems to have suddenly changed as a person. Originally, I was thinking about how to take the Qing girl into the house, but she never mentioned it since, the old lady was extremely dissatisfied with the Qing girl's background, but in the past few years, she couldn't help but be convinced, and even bluntly said that as long as the fourth master was willing to accept a woman, it was okay to be that Qing girl.

Compared with reputation, the old lady cares more about the inheritance of the Xie family, and is the heir of the fourth master.

Only Sister Bao'er's news can make me really happy.

What's more, this time it is Sister Bao's handwritten letter, which shows the cherished procedure of her grandfather......

Xie Nian cleaned his hands and opened Xie Ke's letter almost reverently......

The expression changed from the initial excitement to the final calm, until the final face was indifferent and cold. Cheng Shancai waited on the side and couldn't help but speak. "Master, what did my sister say in the letter?"

Although Wangchuan will send letters from his family every once in a while, most of them are from Mrs. Chu or Shui Qing Shuizhu.

Old Madam Chu's words were almost formulaic, and she simply said that Xie Ke was safe in Chu, but Shui Qing and Shui Zhu's letters could be written in detail, but after all, the two girls didn't read much, and the things they could write were limited. Today, I finally waited for Sister Bao'er's handwritten book, but for some reason her face was dark and cold, could it be that Sister Bao said something in the letter.

Xie Nian gently received the letter into the Nanmu box on the side.

Only then did he snort coldly and speak.

"Shancai, what do you say about the Chu Clan?"

Although Cheng Shancai didn't understand why the master asked this question, he still thought about it and replied respectfully. "The Chu family is a big family in Wangchuan, and the prestige in Wangchuan is not inferior to that of the Xie family in Jian'an. As for how...... The subordinates really think that the people of the Chu family can be handed over. "Communicability means that you can have fellowship with all your heart.

The last time I went to the Chu family to pick up the coffin of the fourth grandmother, the entire Xie family thought that the Chu family would definitely not give up on this matter...... But I didn't want the Chu family to be unreasonable and embarrassed the fourth master. just proposed to treat Sister Bao well......

It can be seen from this that the Chu clan is not a great traitor.

If it is put aside by the rich and noble family, the only concubine daughter dies, it is natural to be investigated, even if there are those who sue the official.

But the Chu family finally chose to settle the matter. This approach made Cheng Shancai admire from the bottom of his heart.

Regarding Cheng Shancai's response, Xie Nian did not seem surprised. He sighed softly again. "Sister Bao said in the letter that Old Madam Chu may be interested in matching her with Brother Qi......"

Cheng Shancai couldn't help but look nervous when he heard this.

Brother Qi, Chu Qiyan. The second son of the Chu family, although he is also a descendant, but he is from the second room, and he will not have the opportunity to inherit the Chu family business in the future.

Speaking of which, although he and his sister can be called childhood sweethearts, ...... "This seems a little inappropriate." And Mrs. Chu has this idea, shouldn't she discuss it privately with her master first? Why did Sister Bao notice it? ”

Marriage is about the right family, the words of the parents.

This elder who has never asked Sister Bao'er, the second has no parents' orders, and the third has no matchmaker's words, not to mention that Chu Qiyan is just the second son in the clan, and Sister Bao is the daughter of their Xie family.

What's more, Sister Bao's worth ......

Cheng Shancai intuitively felt that this was not a good family business.

Not only does Cheng Shancai think so, but even Xie Nian thinks so. If the Chu family raised his daughter for seven years, he would marry his daughter into the Chu family to repay this kindness, and he would rather go bankrupt than have his daughter's final destination in the Chu family.

It's not that the Chu family is bad, but from the bottom of his heart, Xie Nian is a little resistant to the Chu family...... What's more, he responded to all the requests put forward by the fourth master of Chu back then, that is, to let Sister Bao stay in the Chu family for seven years to avoid the bloody disaster, and he finally agreed.
