Chapter 17: Come with your mouth open
"Oh, it's my mother's birthday that is approaching, so I thought I could buy her something."
The young man smiled shyly at Jiang Liang, as if he was embarrassed.
Hearing this, Jiang Liang couldn't help but glance at the young man more, but he didn't expect him to be a filial child.
When the shopkeeper heard that they were here to patronize the business, his attitude was much more enthusiastic and he greeted them.
"This little brother, I don't know what I want to buy? In addition to ready-to-wear, we also sell fabrics, or handkerchiefs and sweat towels in our shop, you can choose. ”
The young man was stunned by the shopkeeper's series of questions, and couldn't help but look at Jiang Li, looking like he wanted her to help him.
Jiang Liang pretended not to understand, but instead cast his eyes on the girl called Jade Cicada, always feeling that the girl was quite hostile to her, and I don't know if it was her delusion.
"Sister Jade Cicada also heard that I was going to help my mother buy a birthday gift, so she came over and wanted to help me come up with ideas."
The young man noticed Jiang Li's gaze, as if he was afraid that she would misunderstand, and hurriedly explained.
His face flushed slightly, and he didn't dare to look at Jiang Li.
When Jiang Liang heard this, he felt a strange feeling in his heart, he didn't know why this young man had specially explained this to her, he just felt uncomfortable.
"Then you can pick and choose. Ah Yun and I have already picked up about the same, paid and left. ”
After Jiang Liang finished speaking, he picked up the new clothes he had liked before and was about to pay the bill and leave, and just as he was about to walk out of the shop, he heard the young man shouting behind him and stopped them.
"Ah Li, I heard that you are going to retire from the Zhao family?"
Jiang Liang nodded, thinking that this was not a secret, she had made a fuss when the Zhao family came that day, and it was estimated that not only in the village, but also in the town and people who were familiar with the Zhao family.
She looked up in surprise, and saw a flash of joy in the young man's eyes, and in addition to that, there was a little distressed look, which made her stunned.
The young man opened his mouth, and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the girl Jade Cicada on the side.
"What? Sister Ah, you actually want to quit the Zhao family? I see that you have bought so many new clothes, and you are preparing to marry into a big family! After all, with your family's situation, how can you afford to buy so many things, don't cheat the Zhao family's money......"
Jade Cicada said, pausing deliberately, implying that Jiang Liang had deceived the Zhao family's dowry.
"However, Sister Ah Li, it's right that you don't marry into the Zhao family, after all, there are rumors that the eldest son of the Zhao family is going to die, if you really marry in the past, if you accidentally become a widow, you may have to be sad in the future with such a name."
When Jiang Liang heard this, his eyes turned cold for a moment, and he glanced at the jade cicada.
If this girl doesn't have low emotional intelligence, she is deliberately looking for her fault!
When the young man heard this, he frowned suddenly, and reprimanded dissatisfiedly: "Cousin Jade Cicada, don't talk nonsense!" ”
The jade cicada raised her slightly dark face dissatisfied, and muttered unconvinced.
"Cousin! I'm doing this for the good of Sister Ah! She was dismissed and showed her head everywhere, which was not good in the first place. ”
"You still say!"
The young man was so angry that his face turned red when he heard the words of the jade cicada, and he wanted to explain to Jiang Li, but he was clumsy, and he didn't know how to comfort her.
Jiang Liang watched the two of them stalemate, but he didn't feel strange at all, this jade cicada was obviously her cousin's intention, but Luohua was intentionally ruthless, and the girl would be angry with her.
Unintentionally involved in this kind of turmoil, Jiang Liang hurriedly waved his hand to the young man and said, "If it's okay, we'll leave first." ”
said, didn't give the boy a chance, and pulled Jiang Yun away.
Although Jiang Liang sensed the hostility of the jade cicada, she didn't want to entangle with the other party too much, and the people who didn't matter to her were worth her time at all.
The moment Jiang Liang turned to leave, the corner of his eye caught a glimpse of the reluctance in the young man's eyes, and it wasn't until she walked away that the burning gaze disappeared.
She never looked back.
After walking a little farther, Jiang Liang quietly asked Jiang Yun, "Ah Yun, does Brother Lu have a good relationship with our family?" ”
"He's always been nice to us."
Jiang Yun was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then showed a mischievous smile. "But he's the best for the eldest sister, and he's good to me and the younger brother, but it's for the sake of your face, eldest sister......"
As soon as Jiang Liang heard her sister say this, she immediately felt a headache, Jiang Yun trusted her eldest sister very much, so as long as she asked questions, this sister would never hide anything from her.
However, knowing this truth, Jiang Liang was not happy at all.
The young man is really interested in Jiang Li, and loves the house and Wu, and even takes care of her younger siblings. However, even if the other party is really infatuated, she can't respond.
She wasn't his departed sweetheart at all.
And even if she wants to marry someone in the future, she won't marry the other party.
Jiang Liang didn't intend to provoke that young man at all, these things had nothing to do with her now, and the young man's infatuation was wrong after all.
"By the way, what is Brother Lu's big name? I couldn't remember it all of a sudden......"
Jiang Yun glanced at Jiang Liang in surprise when she heard this.
"Big sister, you won't really hit your head, will you? So many things I don't remember. Brother Lu's name is Lu Zongping! ”
As she spoke, Jiang Yun suddenly remembered something that she had neglected before. "No, when did you become literate, big sister?"
Jiang Yun was completely stunned by a huge amount of silver in Baiweiju before, and she forgot to ask her eldest sister how she was literate. Now she remembered it in hindsight.
Jiang Liang looked at his sister's clear eyes, and only felt a sense of emptiness.
"Actually, I have a secret to tell you......"
Her voice was extremely low, which immediately attracted Jiang Yun's curiosity, and she hurriedly nodded vigorously.
Under his sister's repeated assurances, Jiang Liang whispered: "I hit my head that day, didn't I faint for a while?" In my dream I met an old man with a white beard, who took pity on what I was going to do and said that he would help me through it. But, he said I had to pay a little bit. I don't know what the price I paid for, but the old man with the white beard taught me literacy and great cooking......"
Jiang Liang felt that the story she made up was very fake, but it was so fake that it scared people instead.
Jiang Yun couldn't understand why the eldest sister was suddenly literate and could still cook good dishes. Now it seems that the dream may be true.
"Is that white-bearded old man a god?"
Jiang Yun felt that the price paid by Jiang Liang was his previous memory and embroidery skills, if this was the case, everything would have a reasonable explanation.
"I don't know."
Jiang Liang shook his head with a sense of guilt, but no matter how smart Rao is Jiang Yun is, after all, she is only a twelve-year-old girl, and she quickly accepted this set of arguments.
It's still early before dark, and Jiang Liang doesn't plan to take his second sister home, anyway, now that he has money, he doesn't panic.
"Let's go, sister will take you to buy something delicious!"
