After Jiang Ai finished speaking, he left the dilapidated house angrily.

Qiao Qixin calmly patted the quilt, saw Liu Zhan looking at herself, and said, "What? You think I'm talking nonsense?"

Liu Zhan shook his head, "No, I just think that you are a little fierce to Jiang Ai."

"Is this fierce? I just want him to look at his heart." Qiao Qixin turned around and hung the quilt on the railing, "You should have also found out, he is just using the name of "justifying the family" to make trouble for Ling Dark."

"Of course, Darkness isn't a good thing." Qiao Qixin added.

Liu Zhan lowered his eyes, thought for a moment and chose to support Qiao Qixin's idea.

"So what do you think should be done?" Liu Zhan asked.

Qiao Qixin patted the quilt and wiped the sweat on her forehead and said, "This bill should be released before the banquet held in Lingdi, and you can take advantage of the dark night to paste a copy of the bill on the bulletin board."

"It's just that I don't think many people care."

Liu Zhan nodded.

Indeed, as Qiao Qixin said, the Jiang City Lord is already an elder.

Now the people in the city have already changed generations, and no one cares whether the city lord of the previous generation is corrupt or clean.

Unless his children will be lords of the city. That's not good, because the descendants have the blood of corrupt officials, so the people can't accept it.

Qiao Qixin looked at the quilt hanging on the pole, "Seriously, I don't quite understand why Jiang Ai insists on this righteous name, in my opinion, it doesn't matter if it's right or not, anyway, it's all about giving yourself a comfort, as if you know that your father is not a corrupt official, so others have to know."

"It feels like, twisted vanity."

When Liu Zhan heard this, he raised his eyes and looked at Qiao Qixin, "Have you ever heard a sentence called, one is prosperous and one is lost."

"Of course I did," said Georgette, shrugging her shoulders, "but isn't that among her peers?" It's not the same as we're talking about."

"No, it's one." Liu Zhan looked at Qiao Qixin seriously and said, "A family, one is prosperous and one is lost, and the same is true for the family."

"I don't understand what you mean by vanity, but it seems to me that Jiang Ai's desire to vindicate his father's name is not twisted."

"I think 'filial piety' is more appropriate than comfort."

Qiao Qixin was stunned for a moment, and just wanted to ask why, but she remembered that the people here want to save face, not a guy like her who is happy to wander around without fame or fortune.

"Ah...... "Georgette pressed the tip of her tongue to her cheek, "you go on."

"Although the Jiang City Lord is not capable, he is also a Qing official after all."

"A generation of clean officials has been slandered as corrupt officials, which is an insult."

"But I also think you're right, because no one cares whether the Jiang City Lord is greedy or honest, but it is precisely because no one cares that Jiang Ai needs to correct the name of the Jiang City Lord under Jiuquan and defend himself."

"Wait a minute," Qiao Qixin raised her hand, "no one cares anymore, why bother to justify it?" No one cares if you correct your name, do you?"

"Is it because no one cares, that the sin of corruption must be taken off from the top?" Liu Zhan looked at Qiao Qixin and seriously sorted out her thoughts.

"Jiang City Lord is innocent, Jiang Ai justified his name, but he just gave him justice, and it doesn't matter who cares about this justice and who doesn't."

"People live for a lifetime, and all they seek is the word balance."

"If it is a clean official, it should not be accused of being a corrupt official, and if it is a corrupt official, it should not be a clean official's reputation, it should not be remembered for a hundred years, and it should be remembered for thousands of years."

"What you gain and what you lose should be balanced."

Hearing this, Qiao Qixin held her cheeks and looked at the ground.

Both were silent for a long time.

"I see what you mean." Qiao Qixin suddenly spoke, "But I don't understand."

Liu Zhan was stunned for a moment, ready to reason with Qiao Qixin again.

Qiao Qixin raised her hand to say no, "Liu Zhan, you also know that I am a lonely man without a father

My mother has no relatives, so I can't understand what you said."

"In my mind, as long as I am comfortable, any reputation is a floating cloud."

Suddenly, Qiao Qixin laughed, "You should know this, if I care about fame, I can't enter Dali Temple, and it is impossible to be on an equal footing with you here."

"Georgette, I don't care about all that red tape."

This is the first time that Liu Zhan has called Qiao Qixin's name.

Qiao Qixin hissed, tilted her head to look at Liu Zhan, and chuckled, "Don't suddenly call me by my name, it's scary, I thought I had done something bad and was discovered."

"It's more formal." Liu Zhan lowered his eyes and said, "I don't care about all that red tape."

Liu Zhan repeated persistently.

"Got it, Liu Zhan." Qiao Qixin replied.

She tilted her head to look at the door, "When is Jiang Ai coming?" I have to apologize to him, those words just now trampled on his filial piety. But ......"

Qiao Qixin's tone changed, and she whispered to Liu Zhan, "I still think he has an old grudge against Ling Dark."

As soon as the words fell, the courtyard door of the small dilapidated house was opened.

Qiao Qixin hurriedly turned her head to look over, huh, Jiang Ai.

She blinked, looking at Jiang Ai's face to determine if he had heard the whisper she had just said to Liu Zhan.

It seems that there is none, but why is Jiang Ai's face so dark, and she quarrels with others outside?

Just as I was guessing, a smell of roast chicken suddenly wafted over.

Before I could think about it, my body reacted first.

Qiao Qixin's upper body tilted and looked behind Jiang Ai.

Sure enough, it was a lotus leaf bun with roast chicken.

Jiang Ai didn't speak, and then he saw that the roast chicken hidden behind him was discovered by Qiao Qixin, and he didn't want to talk anymore.

He came to Qiao Qixin and Liu Zhan with a straight face, and put the roast chicken on the stone table in front of them.

Liu Zhan saw that Qiao Qixin was staring at the roast chicken and didn't speak, so he quietly kicked her.

"Huh?" Qiao Qixin subconsciously looked at Liu Zhan, and saw Liu Zhan squeezing her eyebrows at herself, and was stunned for a while before she realized what Liu Zhan meant.

She looked at Jiang Ai and said seriously, "I'm sorry Jiang Ai, what I said just now was too subjective, slandering and misunderstanding your filial piety, I apologize to you."

Jiang Ai was stunned for a moment, then looked at Liu Zhan.

Liu Zhan shrugged his shoulders and said not to look at him.

Jiang Ai retracted his gaze, looked at Qiao Qixin, and said, "Lord Liu asked you to say that?"

Georgette: "Huh?" sighed, feeling that Jiang Ai was sarcastic about himself, and immediately said, "No, the apology is what I want to say, Liu Zhan just told me something."

"That's right." Jiang Ai lowered his eyes and opened the lotus leaf wrapped in the roast chicken, and an even richer aroma wandered around in the air.

"For us?" In front of the food, Qiao Qixin didn't care whether she had a conflict with Jiang Ai or not, she asked cheekily, and her hands were even more cheeky, and she had already pulled a chicken leg down.

The oil of the chicken leg dripped down directly, and Qiao Qixin hurriedly stuffed the chicken leg into her mouth.

Liu Zhan tore a chicken wing for Jiang Ai, and he tore a piece of chicken himself.

Jiang Ai didn't eat the chicken wings when she held it, but looked at Qiao Qixin, hesitantly as if she had something to say.

"I don't have any money, you ask him for it." Qiao Qixin pointed to Liu Zhan on the side.

"It's a joke, I don't want money, I want ......."

Jiang Ai hesitated for a long time, and finally spoke, "I want to say, what you just said is very right."

Qiao Qixin, who was gnawing on the chicken legs, was stunned for a moment, and a drop of oil slipped off the corner of her mouth.

"What?" Qiao Qixin thought she had misheard.

"You're right that I just had an old enmity with Ling Dark."

Jiang Ai lowered his eyes and slowly talked about the past.

"That year, Ling Dian and I were still classmates......

——

"Hey, hey, hey! Jiang Ai, stop reading, you've been reading for a day!" Ling Di leaned on the window and shouted

Road.

"If you don't read it, you can't do it...... I'm about to take the exam, and if I fail, my dad will get angry." Jiang Ai covered her head with a sad face, and her eyes did not leave the book.

Ling Dian shook his legs, "If you get angry, you get angry, besides, isn't your father very good-tempered?" What are you afraid of, will it be like my father and mother, and if you can't take the test, you will go back to eat fried meat with bamboo shoots?"

"You don't understand...... Jiang Ai held his temples and complained, "Although my father doesn't beat me, if I don't go back after the exam, he will keep a straight face and sigh when eating."

"I'd rather my dad beat me—" Jiang Ai wailed in pain.

Ling Dian kicked his feet, turned the window to Jiang Ai's desk, and said, "Doesn't your father just want you to feel guilty like that!" Don't eat this set! Walk! Let's go out and play! If he doesn't do well in the test, he can't do it well, and if he wants to sigh, let him sigh!"

"Huh?" Jiang Ai looked at Ling Di in embarrassment, "This is not good...... The Master taught us to be filial......

"Oh, how old are we, isn't it normal to love to play, and it doesn't mean that playing means that we are not filial." Ling Di waved his hand, not understanding Jiang Ai's worries.

"Can ......"

"But what, don't do it, let's go dig out the eggs." Ling Dian rubbed his hands excitedly, "Let me tell you, I just found a forest, and there are many bird's nests in it, and I must be able to dig out a lot of things."

Jiang Ai swallowed, looked around, and then looked at Ling Dian curiously and fearfully, "Really?"

"Of course it's true! Let's go!" Ling Dian saw that Jiang Ai had loosened somewhat, and immediately pulled his arm and took him out of his head.

Jiang Ai was half-pushed by Ling Di and brought to the woods he said.

"It's really big here." Jiang Ai was shocked by the tall and dense woods in front of him, and let go of Ling Du's sleeves.

Ling Dian crossed his hands on his hips and said proudly, "I said it, it's big here, look over there."

Jiang Ai looked over Ling Di's hand and saw a huge bird's nest.

"Such a big nest!" Jiang Ai couldn't help but scream.

"yes, yes! That's the first thing I saw when I first found out!" Ling Dian looked at the bird's nest, full of spirits like a general galloping across the field.

"I'm ready to conquer it! What about you!" Ling Dian looked at Jiang Ai.

Jiang Ai was a little stammered with excitement, "What, how to conquer?"

"I'm going to climb up!" Ling pointed to the tall bird's nest.

"Climb, climb?!" Jiang Ai's volume couldn't be controlled, and he was a little snorted.

"That's right!" Ling Dian affirmed, and sent an invitation to Jiang Ai, "How is it? Do you want to come with me?"

Jiang Ai looked up at the tall bird's nest, excited, but he still didn't dare to let him climb. Chinese Net

He hesitated, and he didn't give Ling Di an answer.

Ling Dian acquiesced that he didn't dare, so he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, then you can witness it to me below!" When we get back, let's show off in front of the others!"

Hearing this, Jiang Ai nodded vigorously.

Ling Di left Jiang Ai with a dashing back, came to the big tree alone, and then rolled up the sleeves of his clothes, and climbed out in an instant.

"Dang, beware!" Jiang Ai looked down at Ling Di, excited and very scared and worried at the same time.

If you fall, it hurts......

Jiang Ai thought worriedly.
