Chapter 204: Untie the knot
In the front hall, Qin Hao was telling Li about what had happened in the past few days, and Li was very happy to hear it.
When Jiang Xi walked over, he saw Jiang Qian hiding at the door of the room and looking inside.
"Why don't you go in?" Just now, she felt that something was wrong, and after thinking about it, she realized that there was no Jiang Qian by Qin Hao's side. This girl, why did she suddenly hide here and not go in to meet people.
Jiang Qian was obviously frightened, and when she turned around, her face was panicked that had not been hidden.
"Auntie...... Girl. ”
"Not going in?" Jiang Xi asked again, Jiang Qian was stunned for a moment, and finally shook her head, "I won't go in, girl, go in quickly." ”
Jiang Xi glanced at Jiang Qian deeply, remembering the scene when Qin Hao came back just now, and now she was talking in the house, she immediately understood Jiang Qian's thoughts.
"Well, think about it yourself." Stepping forward, I walked directly into the antechamber.
Behind him, Lianzi glanced at Jiang Qian in confusion, and asked in a low voice, "Qin Hao's sons are back, why don't you really go in?" ”
Before Jiang Qian could answer, she saw Jiang Xi enter the house and hurriedly followed.
As soon as Jiang Xi came in, he immediately attracted the attention of Li and Qin Hao, and Qin Hao also glanced behind her twice, but he didn't see the person he was thinking about, so he retracted his eyes a little reluctantly.
"Xi'er, come and sit down and listen to your brother's exam this time, it's interesting!"
Li Shi was full of smiles, and he didn't notice the loneliness that suddenly flashed in Qin Hao's eyes. She has never been out of town, and she rarely hears people mention things outside, but the interesting things Qin Hao told this time really attracted her.
Jiang Xi saw it, and Qin Hao also wanted to see Jiang Qian. It's just that maybe because he went to the county seat once, and it was another child exam, once he passed the exam, he would be a showman, and the whole person looked quite different from before, and the momentum began to gather slowly.
Jiang Qian has been talking about Qin Hao for the past few days, worried that he will not have a good time outside, and that he will encounter some trouble in the exam. I looked forward to his return all day long, but when I saw him, I didn't dare to come forward to see him and tell him about the pain of parting.
Perhaps, this is the so-called homesickness.
This matter still needs the two of them to find a time to explain it clearly, so that Qin Hao can give Jiang Qian a certain sense of security. It is difficult for others to play a role in this, at most, it is to provide them with an opportunity to open their hearts.
In the evening, Li personally cooked, made a West Lake vinegar fish, a braised fat sausage, a stir-fried pork liver, a dry pot pork ribs, and a large pot of hoof flower soup, and baked two flatbreads.
It can be regarded as a sumptuous dinner, in order to wash the dust for Qin Hao.
Jiang Xi also entered the kitchen, the pork ribs and hoof flower soup were made by her and Lianzi, and Jiang Qian was called by her to get something, but in fact, it was to create an opportunity for her and Qin Hao to talk.
"Mother, the last time I came back, you didn't do this to entertain me, and you were too partial." While cooking, Jiang Xi said to Li coquettishly.
Li also knew that she was joking, and glanced over, "You still feel eccentric, when did your mother not cook you what you want to eat." Besides, your brother is going out to take the exam this time, and you are still jealous of him. ”
"Hehe, I'm just kidding."
Li Shi baked the cake and began to stir-fry, the movements in his hands were fast, and his mouth did not stop, he lowered his voice and asked secretly: "Xi'er, do you say that Hao'er can be admitted this time?" ”
Because there is no son, only a daughter like Jiang Xi, the old man in the family is also gone, Jiang Chengze and the Hong family have also been punished, and the Li family treats Qin Hao as his own son in his heart.
She asked this, not to let Qin Hao help them carry forward the Jiang family, but to simply care about Qin Hao. She knew what kind of effort Qin Hao had put into this exam, and if she failed, it would be a big blow to Qin Hao.
Jiang Xi didn't dare to answer the question asked by the Li family, but she remembered Qin Hao's talent and hard work, and still nodded: "I think Brother Qin Hao should be able to be admitted." Mother, no matter what happens these days, let's not put pressure on him, and don't ask about it, and wait for the results to come out.
Brother Qin Hao is only thirteen years old now, he is still young, and he will have a lot of time to fight for it in the future, even if he fails, it is nothing. If you pass the exam, we should not make a big deal about it, so as not to put more pressure on him. ”
"I know, I'm not just talking to you, I didn't even discuss this with Xing'er."
Speaking of apricots, Jiangxi's family is about to usher in a happy event, that is, Xing'er's wedding. The time is set for August 28, which is a good day, and there are still three days to go. In the past few days, the Li family rarely asks Xing'er to do things, and almost always makes her prepare for her marriage.
Xing'er is an idle person, she has to say that she has nothing to prepare for her marriage, and she doesn't like to cheat and play tricks, so she still stares at the cellar and the canning workshop next door.
The other party's dowry was sent before the fifteenth, a total of three boxes of things, most of them were wooden furniture and some knick-knacks, and two horses, which were not very good, plus five taels of broken silver.
Compared with today's Jiang family, although these things seem very simple, according to the carpenter's family background, being able to produce such a dowry is enough to show the importance of the girl Xing'er.
Moreover, whether these dowries are placed in the village or in the town, they can be regarded as valuable.
When the three boxes of things were delivered, the connivance was Xing'er, and she almost couldn't hold back her tears. She has lived alone in the world for all these years, but fortunately she met such a master's family, and she was willing to find her in-law so carefully. Now that her in-laws have also shown sincerity, they really want to accept her as a daughter-in-law in the past, and she can't help but be happy.
She is the eldest girl next to the Li family, and she is the oldest girl in the family, Jiang Xi and the Li family have discussed to prepare a dowry for her.
Since the carpenter's family sent three boxes of things, their family could not be less, and the same three boxes of things went back to the past, but they contained the Jiang family's fine wine, the best satin in the shop, the porcelain fired in the county, a complete set of silver jewelry, an acre of fine paddy fields, and twenty taels of silver.
Of course, Xing'er's deed of sale and the certificate of slavery were handed over to her by Jiang Xi himself, and she watched her burn them.
If it weren't for the fear that outsiders would make irresponsible remarks about the carpenter's family, Jiangxi would want to accompany some more things over. The contribution that Apricot has made in this family is not small, and it is enough to be treated like this.
It's just that she is worried that marrying too much will be bad for Xing'er, in the village and town, there will always be people who chew the root of their tongues, if they talk all day long that the carpenter's family marries Xing'er for their Jiang family's money, it will definitely anger the carpenter's family, and it will not be good for Xing'er to gain a firm foothold in her mother-in-law's family in the future.
……
At this moment, in Qin Hao's study, Jiang Qian lowered her head, not daring to raise her eyes to look at the man in front of her who was becoming more and more stylish.
"Qin ...... Childe, I really have something urgent, the girl asked me to take this inkstone, she wants to use it now, you better get out of the way. ”
Trapped in the corner by Qin Hao, Jiang Qian's face was so ashamed that it was about to drip water.
Listening to Jiang Qian's words, Qin Hao's face changed, and his brows suddenly furrowed.
"You call me Childe? Xiaoqian, when did we become so rusty? I've only been to the county seat once, and your name for me has changed. You tell me why you didn't show up when I came back, I know that Xi'er and Niang will not object to this matter, you tell me what the reason is! ”
"I didn't ...... There's no reason for it, it's just that I think ......."
"What do you think!" Qin Hao pressed forward step by step, and he had to ask this matter clearly.
Jiang Qian lowered her head again, bit her lower lip and said, "I feel that I am becoming less and less worthy of you...... Yes! What are you doing! ”
Before she could finish speaking, she was hugged by Qin Hao. Qin Hao buried his head in her shoulder, and his deep voice came out: "There is nothing that is not worthy of accompaniment, do you remember when I first came here, I was not even a little girl." If that's the case, I'm not worthy of you.
If it weren't for your encouragement, how could I become the young master of the Jiang family now, without your support by my side, I might not be able to study anymore. No matter whether I can be admitted this time or not, and no matter what kind of identity and status I will have in the future, the only thing that cannot change is my gratitude to Xi'er and my mother, and my liking for you.
Xiaoqian, promise me that you won't be able to think like this again in the future, okay? ”
Qin Hao's voice seemed to have magical power, and Jiang Qian's heartache was instantly healed. She hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"Well, I won't think about it again."
"That's right, I will never forget what I said today, this is an oath, an oath I made to you. In the future, no matter what time you encounter, don't think too much, you and I will always be on your side. ”
Jiang Qian burst into tears and laughed, and reached out to hug Qin Hao as well.
"Qin Hao, you're so good."
"Fool."
When they appeared in the kitchen together, Jiang Xi and Li glanced at each other and knew that the misunderstanding between them had been solved.
Jiang Xi looked at Jiang Qian, coughed, and asked, "What about the inkstone I wanted, why didn't I bring it over?" ”
Jiang Qian was stunned for a moment, just now she and Qin Hao were warm, and they completely forgot about it.
"I'll go right away...... What are you holding me for. She was about to leave, but her arm was grabbed by Qin Hao, and she asked with a puzzled look when she turned around.
Qin Hao laughed out loud and gently buttoned her little head.
"Can't you see it, Xi'er is joking with you, how can she use an inkstone like this now."
When Qin Hao said this, Jiang Qian also reacted quickly, glared at Jiang Xi and snorted dissatisfiedly: "Girl, you know that you are joking with me." ”
