Old Mrs. Xie was very surprised to see that Jin Nian came to Xie Mansion near evening.

She asked Jin Nian: "Today is your father's birthday, one less day to see your grandmother, can your grandmother still say that you can't do it?!" ”

As soon as he heard what his grandmother meant, his cousin didn't tell the house about him going into the water to save people, but I'm afraid he hasn't figured out anything yet!

Jin Nian sighed, stepped forward to hold her grandmother's arm, and asked a little unexpectedly: "Father's birthday ended early, why haven't you seen my cousin come back yet?" ”

She swept around the courtyard and didn't see Xie Qian's figure.

Hearing this, Mrs. Xie smiled: "Your cousin is a shallow drinker, and as soon as he comes back, he will lock himself in the house, I guess he will meet Zhou Gong at this moment!" ”

If you can still meet Zhou Gong, then it will be good! Jin Nian smiled reluctantly, if she knew what happened today, she didn't know if her grandmother would be able to bear it?

She was silent for a while, and then said: "My cousin went into the water to save people today, I think I am very tired......"

Old Mrs. Xie didn't care at first, but when she came back to what Jin Nian was talking about, she immediately asked nervously and loudly, "Who did your cousin save when he went into the water?" ”

Jin Nian looked up at the old lady and saw that her face was tight, so she had to lower her head and whisper, "Miss Xue of the Xue Mansion." She briefly told Xie Qian about going into the water to save people and Xue Xiucai forcing marriage.

When Shi Cai heard Jin Nian say that Xie Qian went into the water to save people, he had already guessed that Xie Qian was saving a girl's family, but when she heard Jin Nian say it with her own ears, it had already reached the point of forced marriage, and Mrs. Xie suddenly felt a breath in her chest, which pressed her almost out of breath.

In her selfish heart, she wanted to leave Xie Qian to Jin Nian, and she didn't want to burp other people among them......

There was silence in the room for a long time, and Mrs. Xie sighed and instructed the maids around her to invite Xie Qian and Mrs. Xie to come over and talk.

Jin Nian was also sullen, she brought her words, how to deal with it, it depends on the eldest aunt and grandmother.

She was a little uneasy in her heart, feeling like a little daughter-in-law who had not passed through the door, and she was wronged and asked her elders to come forward......

She was frightened by the thought of herself! Could it be that subconsciously, she really wants to marry her cousin?

Seeing that her face was not very good-looking, the old lady sighed in her heart, patted Jin Nian's hand and said, "Don't worry, there is a grandmother, those unrelated people, don't think about entering the door of my Xie family!" ”

The old lady's tone was resolute, and there was a rare gleam in her eyes.

Jin Nian tried hard to hook her lips and smiled, but the tip of her nose was a little sour, her grandmother always protected her unconditionally!

Xie Qian's heart was in turmoil, and he was practicing calligraphy in the study to meditate, and the maid came over and said that Miss Biao was here, and the old lady asked him to speak.

He put down his pen and stood up and sighed, retied his hair, and then went to Old Lady Xie's Cui Song Hall.

Old Lady Xie and Big Lady Xie both had calm faces, and Jin Nian sat down, looking at him with some concern.

Xie Qian clenched his fists.

Old Madam Xie was not happy, and motioned for him to sit down and speak: "We have heard about today's events, you are seventeen years old, how can you act so recklessly!" Before you go into the water to save people, don't you ask, is the person who fell into the water your cousin? Or, can't you find another woman who knows how to water? You're a tendon, but now you're fine, and you're getting into trouble......"

Xie Qian was silent, when he saw the scarlet clothes in the water, he was already confused in his heart, how could he still think so much?

Nowadays, no amount of talk will help! The old lady sighed: "I have discussed with your mother, the daughter of the Xue family must not enter the door of my Xie family, no matter how they press you, you must not nod, can you remember?" When this matter is over, your family affairs should also be settled quickly, so that those who are not inconsistent will not worry about it......"

Jin Nian suddenly felt embarrassed, she had to pretend that she didn't know anything, and looked up at the window, it was already twilight on the horizon.

Subconsciously, Xie Qian also looked at Jin Nian and saw that her face was a little unnatural.

Xie Qian's eyes flashed slightly, there is still hope after all!

Turning his head to look at Mrs. Xie, Xie Qian said softly: "Everything is arranged by grandmother!" ”

That night, Jin Nian did not stay in Xie Mansion, she persuaded the old lady to return to the Tong Governor's Mansion.

Seeing that she insisted, Mrs. Xie had to send Xie Qian to send her back.

The two cousins walked in the direction of the weeping flower gate one after the other, followed by several maids and mothers-in-law.

Xie Qian followed behind Jin Nian, he looked at Jin Nian's somewhat thin back in a little dazed, the autumn leaves under her feet, making a squeaking stamping sound, in the late autumn of the twilight, adding a little bit of sorrow.

Suddenly, Xie Qian felt uneasy, he tightened his hand that had been hidden in his cuffs, and caught up: "Cousin, I will take care of today's matter!" ”

Jin Nian stopped and pondered for a moment before saying, "I know!" ”

Although she had a light smile on her face, her expression did not relax at all.

"No, you don't know!" Xie Qian looked at her eyes, and his voice was low and urgent, "The wind blows at dusk, and the leaves fall on the branches." Dan's heart is inched, and the sorrow is unknown. ”

Jin Nian was stunned.

Xie Qian's gaze became hot: "What I said, do you know? ”

This "Qingxi Little Sister-in-law Song", although Jin Nian doesn't like to read, she also had longing for Gu Yanyi in her previous life, how can she not know?

She looked at Xie Qian, and saw that his face was apprehensive but full of enthusiasm, and there was a suspicious red touch at the base of his ears. Such an image is completely different from his usual temperament.

This was the first time that Jin Nian saw something different from family affection in Xie Qian's eyes.

Tender feelings!

She was a little confused, and she didn't know how to react.

Xie Qian instantly became annoyed, feeling that he was too Meng Lang, and he was worried that he had scared Jin Nian.

Without waiting for Jin Nian to speak, he said, "It's okay if you don't know, you just need to remember that I will take care of the matter!" ”

Jin Nian nodded stunned.

The cuckoo behind her was already dumbfounded, although she hadn't read any books, but she dimly felt that this was a poem expressing her admiration, she didn't want the young master to tell her heart to face to the young lady!

As soon as her thoughts turned, she thought of Gu Yanyi who was far away in Yangzhou, and her heart suddenly went up and down.

When Jin Nian returned to the Tongzhi Mansion, the wind lanterns were already lit up in the mansion. In the banquet room in the outer courtyard, there was also a mother-in-law who was cleaning the floor in the hall, and when she saw her coming back, she immediately saluted: "Miss is back?" The master is waiting for you in the study! ”

Jin Nian's heart was in a mess, she was thinking about what Xie Qian had just said. She didn't expect that in this life, Xie Qian would confess to her in person.

She thought of her and Xie Qian's respective marriages in her previous life, she had to be betrothed to Gu Yanyi, and Xie Qian was twenty-two years old when he decided on his teacher's daughter.

In his previous life, the elders also had the idea of kissing each other, but later, I don't know why, he and Xie Qian's relationship was never mentioned again.

Could it be that in their previous life, it was because of the existence of Xue Birong that their family affair did not come to fruition?

And what about this life? If Xue Birong's matter can be properly resolved, does she really want to marry Xie Qian, her cousin.

Seeing that she didn't speak, the mother-in-law reminded her again: "Miss, the master is waiting for you in the study!" ”

Jin Nian came back to her senses and looked up, the light in the study on the southeast side of the outer courtyard was still on, she quickly gathered her mind, tightened the cloak on her body and went to the outer study.
