Chapter 37: Confessed

Li Qiuchi sat next to him with a face full of enjoyment, eating ice watermelon with Erlang's legs crossed, and said leisurely, "Don't say it so ugly, it's obviously a kind of exercise for you, think about it, if one day you go to live somewhere else alone, don't you cook by yourself?" ”

"No, I have my own money, why do I have to cook by myself?"

Li Qiuchi choked, and then said in hatred, "Don't you have a day when the mountains and rivers are exhausted?" ”

"No, it won't." Chu Jinrong glanced at Li Qiuchi while cutting vegetables. The look in his eyes seemed to say, you can tell it.

Li Qiuchi twitched the corners of his mouth and smiled flatteringly, "Don't be like this, we are people who have a marriage contract." ”

Chu Jinrong: "Hehe." ”

Half a month has passed in a blink of an eye, and when Xie Niang saw that every day, Chu Jinrong always circled around Li Qiuchi, and suddenly felt jealous in her heart.

This night, she found a suitable time and knocked on Li Qiuchi's door.

Li Qiuchi happened to be tossing and turning, sleeping lightly, and got up when she heard the knock on the door, she slowly opened the door, but saw Xie Niang standing at the door, very cramped.

Li Qiuchi was a little puzzled, "Xie Niang?" ”

Xie Niang saw Li Qiuchi, her eyes flashed with joy, she quietly looked at Li Qiuchi's handsome face, there was a moment of panic, and her heart beat very fast. Thinking of what she was going to say later, she blushed to the back of her ears.

Li Qiuchi saw Xie Niang's shy face, and was surprised in his heart, "It's so late, what's the matter?" ”

She lowered her head, her hands so cramped that she didn't know where to put them, "Can you stay and be the shopkeeper of my sweetwater shop?" ”

"Huh??" Li Qiuchi was stunned for a moment, she was ...... Confessed?

Xie Niang in front of her still lowered her head, almost burying her head in the ground, her face was as red as if cooked.

Li Qiuchi coughed dryly, "I'm leaving." ”

Xie Niang raised her head suddenly, "What?" You're leaving? She looked at her anxiously, "How can you go?" Sweetwater Shop still needs you! ”

Li Qiuchi raised his eyebrows, "I passed on the recipe to you, I also taught the method, and the source of customers has been stabilized, you just need to do it, it makes no difference whether I keep it or not." ”

"But, but ......" Xie Niang frowned, trying to think of a reason, but she heard Li Qiuchi sigh, and they had only been together for two months, saying that there was no emotion, it was fake. She patted Xie Niang's shoulder, "Xie Niang, there is no banquet in the world." ”

Hearing this, Xie Niang's tears suddenly fell, "So you don't plan to stay?" ”

Li Qiuchi nodded and replied decisively, "Yes." ”

Xie Niang staggered back two steps, hid her face and wept, and left Li Qiuchi's room quickly.

Li Qiuchi looked at the direction in which Xie Niang left and frowned.

"This walk, I'm afraid it will break the girl's heart." Suddenly, a chuckle sounded, and Chu Jinrong walked out of the shadows.

Li Qiuchi didn't look back, looked into the distance, and narrowed his eyes, "You always have to go." ”

Chu Jinrong smiled lightly and didn't say anything more.

In the past few days, the two of them have been discussing the way to leave, Li Qiuchi put down all the things in hand, and some matters of attention were also explained to Xie Niang's two brothers. is as delicate as Xie Niang, and naturally she also noticed Li Qiuchi's abnormality, every time she saw Li Qiuchi, she avoided it and never looked for her again.

Early one morning, the sound of cannonballs and suona on the street was endless, and the crowd was surging, with red makeup for ten miles, which looked very lively.

Li Qiuchi also took advantage of the excitement to come out and see, it turned out that the bride was married! Her eyes narrowed with laughter, this battle was really lively.

The crowd was buzzing.

"Whose bride is this? How can there be such a big battle? ”

"You don't know yet? This is the palm bead of the newly appointed county commander-in-law marrying Jia Yuanwai in the east of the city, I heard that this palm bead has a good name in the entire capital, and the family background is still very prominent! If you want me to say, blessed is the son-in-law of this county order. ”

"Twin Joints...... If it is true, we ordinary people can only covet it. Let's live a good life. ”

After watching for a while, Li Qiuchi lost interest, and wanted to go back to the house to continue to think of a way to escape, when the bride walked in in a red wedding dress, and the maidservant next to her said in a pretty voice: "Boss, I want a bowl of water." ”

Xie Niang hurriedly walked out, refilled a bowl of water and put it on the table, smiling, "The guest officer uses it slowly." ”

The bride thanked her softly and began to drink, the hijab on her head was still on, and she couldn't see the emotions of the people inside, but she could tell from the vague outline that she was a beautiful person.

The maid looked at the bride with worry in her voice, "Miss, if you really don't like this marriage, then it's better to run away from the marriage, the slave and maid really can't see you so disgraced all day long." ”

The bride smiled sadly, but her melodious voice was choked, "Run? How do I escape? It's all their people out there. ”

Li Qiuchi raised his eyebrows when he heard their conversation at the door, the bride who didn't want to get married? Perhaps, this is a good time to escape.

The handmaiden was silent.

After a while, the bride finished drinking the water in the bowl.

"Miss, it's time for us to go." The maidservant said softly.

The bride's hand holding the bowl stiffened, she slowly let go of the bowl, and was helped up by the maidservant to get up and about to leave.

"Stay!" Li Qiuchi suddenly shouted.

The bride and the maidservant turned around slowly, but saw Li Qiuchi walking quickly and pulling the bride away, the maid was startled and scolded sharply, "Bold maniac!" What are you going to do to our lady? ”

Li Qiuchi then remembered that she was dressed as a man, she helped her forehead, and hurriedly let go of the hand holding the bride, and lowered her voice, "Follow me." ”

The maidservant vigilantly guarded the bride, "What are you going to do with you?" If you do this again, I'll call someone! ”

"Jingru." The bride's faint voice sounded, Jingru immediately rested her anger, she looked back at the bride, her voice worried, "Miss, let's go." ”

The bride didn't say anything, and bowed in front of Li Qiuchi, her voice earnest, "Ask Gongzi to help me." ”
