Chapter 64: Straight Man Jiang
Hao Jian was sitting upright in the study, and there was a knock on the door, thinking that it should be Bai Jinxiu, so he got up and opened the door, it was Bai Jinxiu who was still dressed as a man in white.
"White girl, please come in." Hao Jian smiled and made an inviting gesture.
"Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief." Bai Jinxiu glanced at him, sneered, and came in generously and sat on the chair opposite the bookcase.
Hao Jian turned around and sat down, and his own maid brought the teacup.
"White girl, I came to you today because there is a big event that belongs to you." Hao Jian got straight to the point.
"Big deal? What big things can I, a woman with a lack of heart and eyes, Master Hao can't make a mistake. Bai Jinxiu snorted coldly when she heard this, and teased.
Hao Jianxin said that this woman is really careful, and she still remembers it for herself, but he has a request for others today, so he can only smile and say: "There were many misunderstandings in the past, but now I know that the white girl is a chivalrous heroine, I admire it very much." And during this time, you have worked really hard and helped me a lot, and I will remember this in my heart. ”
Stretching out his hand and not hitting the smiling person, Hao Jian's unprecedented attitude was so good, and Bai Jinxiu was not good enough to put on a cold face again, and his expression softened a little, showing some of the cuteness of a girl.
"Hmph, don't pinch me with these words. Say, what's the matter? Having said that, the tone was much softer than before.
"Here's the thing." Hao Jian talked about the matter in general.
"The red-clad cannon? The Tartars actually have a cannon? Is the message confirmed? Bai Jinxiu was really surprised when she heard the news, and her face became solemn.
"Seventy or eighty percent sure, otherwise the Tartars will not suddenly start the idea of the fortified city of Datong." Hao Jian said.
"What do you want me to do?" Bai Jinxiu groaned.
"Inform the Datong defenders of this news, and only when you go to Bai Maiden, they will believe in the reliability of the news." Although Hao Jian didn't say it explicitly, the implication was that he had already indicated that he knew the identity of her disciple of the White Cloud Sect.
"Do you know who I am?" Bai Jinxiu's color changed slightly, and her voice instantly became a little more severe.
"Bai girl and calm, I also heard the military advisor talk about the Baiyun Sect and only guessed a little, I admire the purpose and style of your sect very much, there is no doubt about this." Hao Jian hurriedly expressed his attitude, for fear that this girl would be angry and unlucky.
Bai Jinxiu's color was a little dark, and he stared at Hao Jian for a while before looking away, and Hao Jian's heart was furious.
"I was ordered by my master to go down the mountain to practice, and by the way, I will monitor the world, and you are not allowed to reveal my identity."
"Of course, my character is evident, you can rest assured." Hao Jian hurriedly patted his chest and said.
"Okay, without further ado, I'll leave now, tell them sooner, and be prepared sooner." Bai Jinxiu glanced at Hao Jian, as if he was not very confident about his character, but he still expressed his position simply.
The white girl is quick to talk, Hao admires. I sent the girl out of the valley. Hao Jian was overjoyed, got up and said loudly.
Bai Jinxiu glanced at him, but did not object, got up and went out, Hao Jian hurriedly followed.
After all, she is a woman, and this trip is hundreds of miles, and it is possible to meet Tartars, and the dedication is not small, so it is a matter of giving it away.
Hao Jian took Bai Mu and others, and the little girl Xiaowen also came to see off her miss, and the group led the horse out of the village.
The little girl Xiaowen pulled her young lady and chattered for a long time, but Bai Jinxiu seemed to be a little absent-minded, and glanced at Hao Jian from time to time.
Hao Jian didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that this matter had been settled, and his heart could be more relaxed, he couldn't help patting his chest, and suddenly felt a little awkward, this time he remembered that he still had a few pieces of women's jewelry hidden in his clothes, which he took from Hai Dongqing's grotto last time, and at that time he thought that it might be useful to give gifts or something, but he forgot about it in the past few days.
casually took out a piece of jewelry from his arms, glanced at it, it seemed to be a pair of bird-shaped jade earrings, fine workmanship, small and exquisite, and not tacky, glanced at the white brocade of a man's dress in the distance, and his heart moved, so he strode forward.
"White girl, there are many risks along the way, I hope to take care of yourself, I hope that the journey will be smooth and you will return safely. This thing is my family heirloom, and it's useless for me to keep it, so I'll give it to you as a small gift, hoping that you won't shirk it, in order to show my heart. ”
Hao Jian's expression was extremely serious, his tone was solemn, and he handed the jade earrings in his hand to Bai Jinxiu.
He didn't dare to say that he took it from Hai Dongqing, for fear that Bai Jinxiu would dislike it and not accept it, so he made up a family heirloom temporarily.
His original intention of giving gifts is actually very simple, that is, he can't ask people to do things with empty mouths and white teeth, but he has to give people some benefits. It just so happened that he was carrying this thing, and this thing was for women, and Bai Jinxiu was for women, so he casually made up a reason.
Of course, in order not to let Bai Jinxiu see his weakness, he used his plastic surgery-like acting skills.
I have to say that he is a typical straight man idea.
Bai Jinxiu listened to Hao Jian's words, and couldn't help but be stunned, looked down at the jade earrings in his hand, and was stunned for a while.
"Ah, Miss, these earrings are so beautiful, the birds on them should be a pair of mandarin ducks playing in the water." Xiaowen, the little maid on the side, looked at the jade earrings and exhaled softly.
Hearing the word mandarin duck, Bai Jinxiu's fair face instantly turned red.
Although she has always liked to dress up as a man, it is just for convenience, and she is still a real daughter's family in her bones.
Of course she knows what the mandarin duck represents, and what a man suddenly gives a woman mandarin duck earrings is of course extremely obvious.
And this is the first time she has received such a gift from a man, and it is a man who makes her annoying and curious.
She thought a lot in an instant, thinking of the misunderstanding she had with this guy when she first met, the anger she felt when this guy saved her and belittled herself, the loneliness of this guy humming his hometown song to the night sky that night, and the change in attitude when she talked to herself just now.
Women are magical creatures who are good at association, and these things have no connection at all in Hao Jian's eyes, but this gift-giving scene made this little woman who had only heard the love of men and women in the story suddenly connect these things, and came to a conclusion that made her ashamed, annoyed and overwhelmed.
"Is this nasty guy interested in me?"
It was this conjecture that made her not know what to do for a while, and the expression on her face was both shy, annoyed, and a little overwhelmed.
However, Hao Jian, a straight man from modern society, only felt a little inappropriate after hearing Xiaowen say that this was a mandarin duck earring, but he didn't think it was such a big deal.
Modern people give gifts to each other, not necessarily boyfriend and girlfriend, but also between friends of the opposite sex. Besides, in Hao Jian's opinion, an earring is not a private gift.
Therefore, he saw that Bai Jinxiu did not accept it, and said with a smile: "White girl, you don't have to be polite to me, you can accept it, this is a little bit of my heart." My mother told me at the beginning, let me meet the first good-looking girl I will give to her, I keep it for myself is really useless, as the saying goes, the sword is with the hero, the earrings are given to the beauty. The white girl is such a beautiful big girl, she looks good compared to what Bingbing and Mi Mi, and she is absolutely beautiful when she wears these earrings. ”
Hao Jian is definitely running a train with a mouthful of, and he was used to being poor with girls in his previous life, so he didn't expect how much of a wave his nonsense would stir up in the girl's heart.
Bai Jinxiu listened to Hao Jian's nonsense, her face turned even redder, and she looked at the many people around her who were looking at them, feeling that if she didn't accept it, this muddy person didn't know what else to say, looking at Hao Jian's outstretched hand, she lowered her head, gritted her teeth, grabbed it and stuffed it into her arms, and threw down a sentence in a voice that she could only hear clearly: "I'll take it for you first." ”
Then he turned his head and trotted a few steps, jumped lightly on the horse's back, gently clamped the horse's belly, and the horse ran out under the crotch.
"Miss, have a safe journey, come back early." The little girl Xiaowen waved goodbye to her in the back, but she didn't know that her young lady was now messing around with Hao Jian's words just now, and she couldn't take care of her at all.
Hao Jian looked at the beautiful woman who had gone away, but he was completely unaware of the thoughts that others had turned over the river and the sea, and only knew that he had one less thing to worry about, and his mood was much more comfortable.
