Chapter Seventy-Two: The Secret That Doesn't Explain
"Wu Xu'er went to Liyang, and one of her good little sisters was sick and was in a hurry to visit."
The glamorous woman carefully rummaged through the fruit bowl, picked out all the plums and held them in her palm, and then pushed the fruit bowl to Jiang Li with satisfaction, and said in surprise, "This dead girl didn't tell you!" ”
Jiang Wei thought that this beautiful woman was good at holding grudges, and it was really an eternal truth, and it was just a matter of not giving me plums, and she didn't even let go of her own people when she was ruthless. Fortunately, his face was already very thick, but he didn't hear the instigation in these words, took the fruit plate and grabbed a handful of melon seeds, and explained with a serious face, "It should be that day to accompany someone out to eat, but unfortunately I missed it, otherwise I would have to accompany her on a trip." I heard that this is bustling and bustling in Liyang City, but I have never been there. ”
Liu Xiaoxiao was very satisfied with the stunned look on Jiang Li's face, thinking that after all, she was the person Wu Xu'er liked, and it was kind to be able to come to find her, so she said with relief, "I'll be back in a few days, you can wait with peace of mind." ”
Jiang Li knocked on the melon seeds and claimed that it was. Thinking that it is also good to be a junior, you don't have to waste your energy to say so many things, as long as you pretend to be pure and cute.
But I heard Liu Xiaoxiao sigh, thinking that she knew that Jiang Li was a lazy guy, but her own Wu Su'er was also uneasy to say, these two got together, and in the final analysis, they may not be a good match, but I am afraid that there will be twists and turns in the future. She had the heart to say a few words as an unstable elder, but before she could speak, looking at Jiang Lise's shrunken face and being taught, how could she have half a point of sincerity, and those words that were said in vain were swallowed back, and only picked up some of the most important things to say.
"My Wu Su'er has always been pampered, and her temper is not good, especially when she has become famous over the years, those little temperaments have become more and more unreined, you have been getting along for some time, and you have a little feeling when you think about it. I don't talk much about her about this. Liu Xiaoxiao paused, and then said, "Wu Su'er is simple and kind by nature, and after getting along for a long time, she naturally knows that she is good, and if she is a little insufficient, she has to ask Xiaojiang Gongzi to bear with her." ”
Jiang Li nodded obediently.
Liu Xiaoxiao smiled with relief.
As an elder, Liu Xiaoxiao's admonition to young couples who have not yet married came to an abrupt end, Liu Xiaoxiao naturally has never had experience in this area, not to mention that the red sleeves have always been in love, and there are few topics about starting a family. What's more, the "niece and son-in-law" in front of him made it clear that you just say that I only listen, and it is already touching to be able to nod just right, but how to implement it is naturally another matter.
There was no in-depth interaction, and there were no new topics to continue without leaving a trace, and the atmosphere in the silent room was slightly awkward. Only the crackling sound of melon seeds, the intermittent rhythm sounded like an old drip, constantly reminding me that the silence at the moment was a little too long.
Liu Xiaoxiao frowned slightly, she looked at the empty table, thinking that most of the maids who delivered water today were still sleeping, otherwise they could make a tea and refill the water at this moment, so that they would not have nothing to do and nothing to say. She thought about it, so she picked two plums from the palm of her hand and handed them over.
Jiang Li sighed with relief, and while taking the plum, he didn't forget to give Liu Xiaoxiao the melon seeds in his hand.
After bartering, the relationship has obviously risen to a higher level. Thinking of the broken wooden strips outside the door that were smashed to the ground by himself, the culprit who destroyed half of the fence stopped the movement in his hand and said very interestingly, "Those outside, I'll go find someone to fix Aunt Liu when I go back." ”
Thinking about Liu Xiaoxiao's suspicion before, even if she really had no thief's heart and no thief's courage, Jiang Li quietly changed Miss Liu to Aunt Liu, to show that she was open-minded and had no dirty heart.
"There are already familiar carpenters in the building, and your Aunt Liu can still afford this bit of silver. If there is a real difficulty, I will go to you to help. Liu Xiaoxiao smiled faintly, thinking that after so much foreshadowing, it was time to get down to business. As if with all the habits that are customary because of inconvenience, she coughed vigorously and said seriously, "Let's get down to business." ”
Jiang Li sat upright, waiting to listen to the following.
"You didn't ask me, so I didn't talk about it."
"That's my fault." Jiang Li was slightly stunned and said angrily.
Now Jiang Li naturally knows that Liu Xiaoxiao is not a former Oiran with a good skin, originally thought that Liu Xiaoxiao would explain the origin of the teacher, how do you know that listening to Liu Xiaoxiao open her mouth will rely on herself, but there seems to be some truth in her words, Jiang Li thinks that beautiful women not only hold grudges, it seems that it is really as the book says, most of them are unreasonable.
"It's not all your fault, either. But you never thought to tell us about your own business. ”
Jiang Li looked ignorant, listening to Liu Xiaoxiao whispering and saying righteous words, thinking that this mountain of ironclad evidence was indeed difficult to refute, so he pressed down the tone of the previous slight play, and said again in an affirmative sentence, "It's my fault." ”
Liu Xiaoxiao smiled with her eyebrows, seeing that Jiang Li's answer was interesting, she probably also felt that her remarks were a bit too far-fetched, and she couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle out loud, giving up the idea of chasing after the victory. She thought for a moment and said seriously: "Actually, I made up a wonderful story just now, but now I don't want to talk about it, so I don't have to blame me for lying to you today." It's not like some people, they can't lie, but their skin is very thick. ”
Jiang Li guessed that this meant something to say, and it probably fell on a conversation on the mass grave in the west of the city that day. At this time, Liu Xiaoxiao pretended to be inadvertently re-mentioned, listening to the teasing meaning hidden in the gentle words, Jiang Li's face was not ashamed, as for bowing his head and admitting his mistake or something, it was even more difficult to think about it. He scratched his head, put on an extremely sincere look, and said with admiration, "I only know that Aunt Liu is beautiful and kind, but I didn't expect that her temperament is so straightforward, and she is really the character of an authentic southern Xinjiang woman." ”
The tip of Liu Xiaoxiao's nose wrinkled slightly, and let out a slight sneer, these words of praise came out of the mouth of this thief-eyed guy, and he didn't know how much to discount.
"Jiang Gongzi is also my benefactor, if it is deliberately deceiving, it is really unreasonable, it seems that I Liu Xiaoxiao is mean and unkind. It's just that I do have a bitterness that I can't explain. Liu Xiaoxiao sighed softly, stared at Jiang Li's eyes, and asked slowly and seriously: "If I don't say it, but I still hope that you believe me and believe that I have no ill will towards you, is it a bit difficult for a strong man?" ”
Jiang Li couldn't help but be slightly surprised when he saw that she said cautiously and honestly. Indeed, as Liu Xiaoxiao said earlier, you can send yourself away with a plausible reason, whether it is a family history that is passed on to a woman or a man, or a fall off a cliff to obtain an ancient inheritance, even if you just say which benefactor's grace back then, can you really trace it clearly?
Everyone has some secrets that they don't want to talk about, and even some things are not secrets in the first place, but they just don't want to tell others about them. Since Liu Xiaoxiao said that it was inconvenient to explain his own hardships, Jiang Li didn't ask any more. It is not a gentleman's work to make it difficult to force others in order to satisfy his curiosity; It is difficult for strong beauties, let alone men.
"Aunt Liu laughed, even if there is no relationship with Wu Xu'er, I have at least trust between people." Jiang Li thought about himself, a small fish and shrimp who had just come down the mountain, which was worth worrying about others. Not to mention that if Liu Xiaoxiao was really malicious, the small ball that was pressed on his forehead just now would have taken his life, why bother to talk about such a big chase in a twist and turn, patting his chest at the moment, and said with an awe-inspiring face, "What's more, I, Jiang Li, am such an upright and simple person." ”
Liu Xiaoxiao smiled, but she didn't see Jiang Li's self-selling and boastful appearance, but she secretly put down a stone in her heart. Earlier, she thought that Jiang Li's personality and temper seemed to be uninhibited and freewheeling, but not caring doesn't mean that there is no feeling, once such a person has a mustard, I am afraid that it will be more difficult to solve than ordinary people. So thinking that no matter the relationship between Wu Su'er and Jiang Li, or Jiang Li's detoxification grace to himself, there is no need to leave a dark thorn in his heart, not to mention that he and Wu Su'er not only never had the intention of harming him, but Wu Su'er even took the risk to do something, so why fabricate reasons, but it seems that he is a thief.
She stroked her chest and let out a long breath, "That's very good. I've always been worried that Mr. Jiang is blaming me. ”
Probably because the stone in his heart was too big and heavy, or maybe in order to better express the importance he attached to Jiang Li in his heart, Liu Xiaoxiao's movements on his hand were slightly exaggerated. Jiang Li was dumbfounded and watched the little green onion and pink hand rubbing and rubbing on the pair of mutton fat white jade-like half-exposed breasts, only to feel fascinated, only hating that hand was not born on himself.
Seeing that Jiang Li did not answer, Liu Xiaoxiao was slightly stunned. How shrewd and clever she is when she lives in the land of fireworks, looking at Jiang Li's eyes that dare not look more but are reluctant to look less, she immediately knows what is going on. Although he knew that the young man in front of him might not have any lustful thoughts, most of them were just curiosity unique to this age, two cherry red clouds still quietly floated on Liu Xiaoxiao's cheeks.
She quietly took off the overcoat that was stacked on the edge of the collapse and was about to put it on, but saw that Jiang Li was already sitting in danger at this moment, looking at the rest of the plum in her hand in a daze with a suspicious face, and couldn't help but quip, "The plum is better than me?" ”
These words were said very naturally, and there was no charm and flirtation in the tone, which purely belonged to the former Oiran of the Red Sleeved Building, who was indignant that he had just been defeated in front of the eyes of a hairy boy, so that he was teasing on a whim.
However, the guy in front of him had a normal face, as if he didn't understand the meaning of Liu Xiaoxiao's words, and just said to himself with a puzzled face, "Could it be because Wu Xu'er's little goblin doesn't like to eat acid?" ”
