Guo Xiaoxiao took Jiang Zhiyuan to the shops where she and Xiaolan went during the day. Barbecue, baked cakes, hibiscus tea, squirrel osmanthus fish, Fengzhen noodles, marinated dried tofu, Tibetan mutton, take turns.

"Have you eaten all of these things?" He looked at Guo Xiaoxiao's skillful appearance when ordering, so he asked.

"That's right." Guo Xiaoxiao helped Xiao Er bring the dishes to the table, "Squirrel Guiyu and Fengzhen noodles are the signature dishes of this restaurant, you can eat them quickly." I'll take you to another store in a moment. ”

"Ah, and?"

"Hmm." Guo Xiaoxiao said vividly, "As long as you have a demand, they will supply it, and it will close at ten o'clock in the evening." ”

Jiang Zhiyuan suddenly discovered another shortcoming of her, that is, spending money without blinking.

Under Guo Xiaoxiao's strong recommendation, Jiang Zhiyuan went to try a few dishes from other restaurants. barely ate a few bites, but Guo Xiaoxiao urged him to eat more, and he was afraid of wasting, so he also ate until the wall came out.

Guo Xiaoxiao didn't eat much, because he enjoyed eating during the day and was a little tired.

Yangzhou has the Wan Lake of "autumn water and the sky is the same color", and Suzhou also has a lake, which is called "reflecting the moon".

After eating, Guo Xiaoxiao took Jiang Zhiyuan to Yingyue Lake for a walk.

Guo Xiaoxiao said: "Are you happy? ”

She also asked Xiaolan this question during the day.

Jiang Zhiyuan took a breath and said with a smile: "Happy, too happy." ”

Guo Xiaoxiao smiled in embarrassment, and suddenly remembered Xiaolan. During the day, she took a fancy to a jewelry store's Jin Bu Shao, but the store said that there was only one sample in the Jin Bu Shao store, and the brand-new goods needed to be picked up in the warehouse, so Guo Xiaoxiao waited for a while.

Guo Xiaoxiao had no time to wait, so he personally signed the order and asked Xiaolan to pick it up afterwards. Xiaolan should have already gotten the silver step shake at this time, she can't find Guo Xiaoxiao, and now she doesn't know where to go.

Jiang Zhiyuan was not worried about Jiang Feng, because this was not the first time he had looked for Guo Xiaoxiao. If Jiang Feng can't find it, he will go back to the inn in the middle of the night.

The things that Jiang Fan explained have been completed today, and the remaining days can be played in Suzhou.

It has been half a month since Guo Qianqian's last marriage, Jiang Zhiyuan suddenly stopped and said, "Xiaoxiao." ”

Guo Xiaoxiao looked back at him.

"The seventh day of next month will be your birthday, right?"

It's already June, and her birthday is the seventh day of the seventh month.

"Well, what's wrong?" She asked.

"If you do the math, you should be eighteen years old this year."

"yes, I'm a year older."

"When you celebrate your eighteenth birthday, I'll propose to my uncle, how about it?"

"I ......"

"You don't have to rush to answer me." He lowered his head, "Isn't it the seventh day of the seventh month?" Think about it first. ”

He interrupted him because he was afraid that what he would hear was not the answer he wanted. What if, if she doesn't want to, how will it end?

Guo Xiaoxiao thought for a while and said, "I, I'll tell you now." ”

"No, don't say ......," he said eagerly.

Guo Xiaoxiao looked at him nervously: "That...... Let's not talk about it. ”

"......No," he added.

"No what?" Guo Xiaoxiao lowered his head and looked at the ground, "Do you mean it or not?" ”

He himself was tormented, fearing that her words would upset him, and at the same time desperate for answers.

After a while, he said, "You still say it." ”

Guo Xiaoxiao looked up at him: "You are very good to me." ”

Are you good to me? What do you mean? Is it to issue a good person card?

She continued: "But I don't want to marry right now. ”

"Why?" He persuaded, "You're already married, aren't you?" ”

"However, there is no sooner or later to get married, only what you want and what you don't want, isn't it?" She asked rhetorically.

"I'm your cousin, you're my cousin, and it's only natural that we'll get married."

"So you want to marry me because I'm your cousin?"

"No, no, no." "That's not what I meant," he explained. ”

He stepped forward and took her hand and said, "I mean, I want to be with you, I want to protect you. ”

Guo Xiaoxiao let go of his hand, took a step back, and said: "However, Xiaoxiao wants to be a heroine of the world, the kind of heroine who does not need the protection of others, and can also protect others." ”

His eyes suddenly dimmed, and after a while, he asked softly, "Then you...... Can you answer me a question? ”

"Say it."

"You, do you like me?"

Guo Xiaoxiao put his hands on his abdomen, looking very restrained. She thought for a moment, and her voice became low: "Self...... I like it. ”

Hearing Guo Xiaoxiao's words, he seemed to have a thousand pounds of heavy stones in his chest that fell to the ground in an instant.

"Truth?" He'll have to make sure again.

"Truth."

"No kidding?"

"No kidding."

He stepped forward and hugged Guo Xiaoxiao and said, "That's fine, even if you don't agree to marry me now, it doesn't matter, I know it's enough for you to have me in your heart." ”

Guo Xiaoxiao leaned on him, his chin resting on his shoulder. That's not what she thinks in her heart. Once upon a time, it was said that you like white cats, but you chose black cats. The person you marry must not be the person you love the most.

These words were like a spell wrapped around many people, and she was afraid, and she was one of them. Moreover, the parents are still alive. Guo Qianqian is already married, if she leaves home again, her parents can still enjoy the joy of family under their children's knees!

The dark clouds around the moon converged and dispersed, and the dark incense floated, and Jiang Zhiyuan suddenly remembered that he hadn't given the wonton money yet. Guo Xiaoxiao said that he didn't need to give it, he had missed it anyway.

Jiang Zhiyuan didn't think so, as the commander of Yangzhou's officials, he couldn't defraud the people of their money, so he specially walked back to the wonton stall to make up the money to the boss.

The boss smiled: "You are quite trustworthy!" ”

Jiang Zhiyuan said: "I went to find my cousin in a hurry before, and I forgot it in a hurry, I'm really sorry." ”

The boss smiled, it was forgiven, and when he saw Jiang Zhiyuan holding Guo Xiaoxiao, he never let go of his hand. The boss teased: "Is this the girl? ”

"Exactly."

"What a blessing the lad." The boss wiped the sweat from his head and poured the raw wonton into the pot, "Live a good life, I'll be busy with mine first." ”

Jiang Zhiyuan couldn't help laughing, but was poked by Guo Xiaoxiao on an elbow. Guo Xiaoxiao turned around and walked in the direction of the inn, and Jiang Zhiyuan hurriedly caught up.

"What's wrong? Out of sorts? Jiang Zhi said from afar.

"I know, I still ask."

"Ahem." He feigned a cough and secretly took her hand.

She was touched by him, and just as she tried to take it back, he grabbed her tightly.

"Follow me." He whispered in her ear, "Don't get lost." ”

Guo Xiaoxiao puffed out his cheeks and was pulled away by him.

When the two returned to the inn, it was already late. As soon as Xiaolan saw Guo Xiaoxiao, she began to be anxious, for fear that Guo Xiaoxiao would be abducted. Guo Xiaoxiao smiled and comforted her, walked back to the room with Xiaolan, and didn't forget to make a grimace at Jiang Zhiyuan when he left.

Guo Qianqian has been married to Hanfu for more than half a month, and she has to go back to Guofu as usual, commonly known as "returning to the door". But Guo Qianqian heard Xiaocui say that Guo Xiaoxiao was not in Guo's mansion and went to Suzhou with Jiang Zhiyuan, so Guo Qianqian didn't want to go back.

Since marrying into the Han Mansion, those maids have been talking about her all day long, especially gossiping about her concubine's identity. Guo Qianqian missed the days in Guo's mansion very much, but she didn't dare to say it to Master Guo and Mrs. Guo, but somehow, she felt that Guo Xiaoxiao was more kind.

Her hatred for Guo Xiaoxiao in the past is not so deep, after all, she insisted on marrying Han Tianlei at the beginning. If she hadn't married Han Tianlei, she wouldn't have to be pointed at now.

She has one thing in common with Guo Xiaoxiao, that is, she can't sit still, so she stays in one place for a long time, and she wants to go out for a walk. On this day, she and Xiaocui took a walk in the Dark Incense Pavilion of the Han Mansion. This is the library of the Han Mansion, Guo Qianqian walked up the wooden ladder, and her steps were slow and light. After walking a few steps, I heard the two maids of the Dark Fragrance Pavilion cleaning and arranging the books talking.

One of the maids with two pigtails said: "Hey, you say, what kind of trick did this young lady use to fascinate our young master?" ”

Another maid with tearful moles in her eyes said: "No, I heard that the one who was going to marry our young master was not the current one, it was the eldest lady of Guo Mansion." ”

The maid with two pigtails said again: "Ah! So who is this now? ”

"It's the concubine raised by Aunt Guo's house."

"Alas, no wonder the old man looks down on her, where is this concubine comparable to Miss Yan!"

"Don't say it, Sister Sister is indeed not as good as Sister Yan, but there is one thing that is better than Sister Yan."

When the maid with the tear mole said this, Guo Qianqian straightened her ears.

I only heard the maid laugh and said: "It's the fox charm that seduces people's husbands, ahahaha." ”

The two of them burst into laughter.

Xiaocui stepped forward to vent her anger for Guo Qianqian, but was stopped by Guo Qianqian. Xiao Cui retreated, although she didn't say anything, but she was as angry as Guo Qianqian.

The two maids were still giggling and talking about Guo Qianqian's rhyme, Guo Qianqian was not in the mood to listen to it anymore, turned around and went downstairs, Xiaocui hurriedly followed, holding her hand and leaving together.

The two of them walked out of the Dark Fragrance Pavilion, and after a few steps, Xiao Cui finally couldn't help it: "Young lady, those two maids dare to say that about you, the slave maid really can't wait to rush up and give them a few slaps." ”

", two!" Guo Qianqian said viciously.

"Young lady, if you don't clean them up, I'm afraid that they will ignore you even more in the future."

"Of course you have to clean up! When will the young master come back? ”

"The young master went to the woods on the outskirts of the city to hunt birds, and it is estimated that he will not be able to come back until evening."

"Bird hunting, bird hunting again, it's been a few days." Guo Qianqian's face was angry.

"You extinguish the fire, why don't you go to the outskirts of the city to find the young master?"

"This ......," Guo Qianqian felt inappropriate.

"If you leave it until the evening before you say it, the young master thinks that this matter is not important, and it is very likely that he will prevaricate casually."

"Kind of makes sense." Guo Xiaoxiao turned around and said, "You go and prepare the carriage." ”

"Yes."

After a while, the two of them rode to the outskirts of the city in a carriage.
