"Of course, our eldest lady lives in the capital now!" The maid said with a look of smugness and adoration.

"I see!" Xia Lingqiao nodded.

……

After walking around the yard for an afternoon, I didn't see Jiang Haochen, Xia Lingqiao was puzzled, why did you say that this person has never been seen?

"What is the girl looking for? It's better to tell the slave and the slave to help you find it. The little maid on the side looked at Xia Lingqiao, who was constantly looking around, and asked suspiciously.

"Don't call me girl, just call me Ling Qiao. Also, what about your son-in-law? I've been shopping all afternoon, why can't I see anyone? Xia Lingqiao listened to the little maid's cry of the girl on the left and the girl on the right, and her heart was very entangled, and she had a feeling that she was dumb and couldn't say what she was suffering from.

"Oh, so the girl is thinking about my son-in-law! My son-in-law is not in the house today. The little maid looked at Xia Lingqiao and said with a smile, with such an expression on her face, and there was a light in her eyes called I understand.

Xia Lingqiao suddenly realized when she looked at the maid, and she knew that the little maid was thinking wrong with such an expression and that flickering gaze. Xia Lingqiao didn't want to say more, so she asked directly, "When will your son-in-law come back?" ”

"I should be back in a few hours!" The little maid looked at the sky and said uncertainly.

"Hmmm! Then I'll go back to my room first. Xia Lingqiao nodded and said, turned around and walked to the guest room.

……

The blood-red sunset, slowly sinking in the scattered clouds, cast a rose-colored slanting light on the surface of the river, and dyed the river rose-colored. The evening view is intoxicating: the dew moistens the wilted flowers and plants, there is no wind, the surroundings are unusually peaceful, and the air is cool and pleasant.

Jiang Haochen and his entourage returned to the mansion in the afterglow of twilight......

"Yeyu, you go pack your things, and we'll leave for Beijing."

"Night Wind, you go and send a message to Beixiao to tell him that we will leave tomorrow morning, let him take care of it and leave together!"

After Jiang Haochen finished instructing them, he went back to the room to deal with affairs, and he didn't even eat.

……

After Jiang Haochen had dealt with all the things to be dealt with, he looked up and saw the stars outside the window like pearls, inlaid under the canopy, shining brightly. On such a quiet night, the insects in the shallow grass and the occasional dog barking will not break the beautiful atmosphere, but will give people the feeling of "the quieter the cicada noise forest, the more secluded the birdsong mountain".

"When you return to Beijing, you can calm down and take a good look at the night." Just when Jiang Haochen sighed that the night was so good, there was a knock on the door.

"Childe!" Xia Lingqiao's voice sounded outside the door.

"Come in!" Jiang Haochen heard Xia Lingqiao's voice and said after being puzzled for a moment.

"Childe, it's so late, you haven't eaten yet, I'll bring you some." Xia Lingqiao's voice was magnetic, gentle, and somewhat neutral, warm, like a warm sun.

"It turned out to be Miss Ling Qiao, why are you here? But what's the matter? Jiang Haochen looked at Xia Lingqiao, who was eating, and asked suspiciously.

"Oh, I'll go, what's the girl, I sound awkward, just call me Xia Lingqiao!" Xia Lingqiao sat on the chair next to him after putting down the food and said directly, he listened to the girl all afternoon, and he got goosebumps when he heard it.

"Uh~ Okay then, Ling Qiao." Jiang Haochen was stunned by Xia Lingqiao's sudden tone. Then he went on to ask, "Why are you here so late?" ”

When Xia Lingqiao heard Jiang Haochen's question, she touched her nose uncomfortably, thinking about how to tell him that she was not a woman.

Jiang Haochen looked at Xia Lingqiao's expression of wanting to say something but not knowing how to speak, and was puzzled. Is this question that difficult to answer?

Just when Jiang Haochen was puzzled, Xia Lingqiao suddenly got up and walked in front of him, clasped her fists with both hands and saluted him, "Thank you for the life-saving grace of Childe, if I can help in the future, as long as Childe says it, I will definitely help!" ”

"It doesn't have to be like this, it's also a matter of saving you." Jiang Haochen said disappreciatively.

Xia Lingqiao then said: "I see that Childe hasn't eaten yet, so I will send some food over, and by the way, I will say goodbye to Childe." ”

"Resignation? Are you leaving? But you're not done yet! Xia Ling's words were interrupted by Jiang Haochen before he finished speaking.

"Yes, I'm going to leave early tomorrow morning to go to Kyoto to find a friend, and the injuries on my body are not serious, just some skin injuries. And ......"

Xia Lingqiao was interrupted again in the middle of her words......

"Since you're leaving tomorrow, why don't you come with us! We'll leave tomorrow morning. What else can I say on the road, it's so late now, Ling Qiao, it's not good for a girl's house to be in my room for too long, it will affect your reputation! ”

"In that case, let's say it on the road, these meals are going to be cold too, you can eat them while they're hot!" Xia Lingqiao had no choice but to do it when she saw Jiang Haochen say this, and planned to find a time to say it on the road.
