"How long are you going to stay when you come back this time?" Xiao Hechuan took out a cigarette and handed it to Xiao Wenjie, but Xiao Wenjie smiled and said to Xiao Hechuan, "Uncle Jiu, quit early." ”

"Quit well," Xiao Hechuan bowed slightly, and ignited one himself.

"I came back this time mainly to see grandma, and then to see Yueyue, although there is no shortage of doctors in the house, but I still want to see them in person, and I feel more down-to-earth." After Xiao Wenjie finished speaking, a smile appeared on Qingjun's face, and he said, "I'll go back next month, Uncle Jiu, I met a very good girl in the south." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Hechuan became a little interested, and he flicked the cigarette ash, "The kid is talking about a girlfriend?" ”

Xiao Wenjie nodded, "She's very brave, but ......"

"But what?"

"I'm afraid my dad won't agree." The smile on the corner of Xiao Wenjie's lips disappeared, he knew better than anyone about his family, as the eldest grandson of the Xiao family, it was extremely rare for his grandmother and father to choose to study medicine by him, he would no longer have extravagant hopes, and he hoped that his grandmother and father would allow him to decide on his own marriage.

"He's the oldest," Xiao Hechuan didn't care, "It's you who marry, not him." ”

Xiao Wenjie smiled and said, "Uncle Jiu, my girlfriend is three years older than me. ”

"The female junior holds the gold brick, not bad, boy, where did you find this good thing?" Xiao Hechuan extinguished his cigarette and joked to his nephew.

Xiao Wenjie was a little surprised by Xiao Hechuan's teasing, and simply changed the topic, "Don't always talk about me, Uncle Jiu, how are you?" ”

"What can I do, old ways."

Xiao Wenjie learned from his sister's letter that Xiao Hechuan had met a Miss Qin, but listening to Xiao Hechuan's words, it seemed that there was no such thing, "That Miss Qin? ”

"Ordinary friends, we've had dinner together a few times."

"Grandma doesn't rush you?"

"Urge." Xiao Hechuan nodded.

"You don't have a favorite?"

Xiao Hechuan didn't speak, what could he say? Say I like your sister-in-law, and marry your sister-in-law to you as an aunt?

He felt that his hands were a little itchy, and he wanted to slap himself again, he had obviously made up his mind not to hit Youqing, but he still couldn't help thinking of her.

In the small garden, Youqing was sitting under the flower stand reading a book, and when she saw Xiao Hechuan, Youqing's eyes flashed with joy, and she got up to greet him, "Uncle Jiu, you're back." ”

"Hmm." Xiao Hechuan glanced at her, and suddenly felt that he was quite funny, not only funny, but also a little naïve, he made so many scenes for himself, and even went to Jinling, but this girl didn't know anything, he himself was quite deep in the play.

Youqing walked to the stone table and poured a cup of tea for Xiao Hechuan.

Xiao Hechuan was also not polite, took a sip of it, and then asked, "What is the name of the moon next to you, and how is the servant?" ”

"It's good," Youqing's voice was soft, it was indeed very good, since Xiao Hechuan stood up for her that day, the people were much more careful about her.

She looked at Xiao Hechuan in front of her and whispered, "Uncle Jiu, you look like you've lost a little weight." ”

"Really?" Xiao Hechuan touched his face, but he was not thin, he had a person in his heart, close at hand, but far away from the end of the world.

"This is what I asked you from Pilu Temple in Jinling, Yueyue also has it, you are safe and sound." Xiao Hechuan took out a peace buckle and gave it to Youqing, this time he didn't give anything expensive, he thought she shouldn't have a reason to return it.

"Thank you, Uncle Nine. I also have something to give you. Youqing's eyes were shining, she generously accepted the safety buckle, and smiled with Xiao Hechuan to speak.

"Give it to me?" Xiao Hechuan was a little surprised, he looked at Youqing and nodded, asking him to wait here, and he ran back to the house to get a pair of knitted gloves.

"This is for you, although you don't need it yet, but Mama said that winter in Jincheng comes early, and you often have to practice guns, so I knitted a pair of gloves for you." There was a slight shyness in Youqing's clear eyes, not the kind of girl Huaichun, but the shyness that she purely felt that she had accepted such a valuable thing from others, but she could only use such a pair of gloves to return the gift.

Xiao Hechuan's dark eyes were deep, and she didn't speak for a moment, the smile on the corner of Youqing's lips slowly faded, she lowered her hand, and said with some uneasiness, "Uncle Jiu, don't you need it?" It doesn't matter if you don't need it, I'll see if there's anything else next time......"

"Give it to me." Xiao Hechuan stretched out his hand to her, he touched the pair of gloves, not to mention, the weaving is really good, and the wool used is also good, soft and warm.

"Thank you, little niece." Xiao Hechuan glanced at Youqing, he felt that he couldn't stay any longer, but he stopped before he had taken a few steps, he turned to look at Youqing and asked, "Has Yi Shikai been pestering you recently?" He's going to pester you again, remember to tell me. ”

"Oh, he, he didn't pester me." Youqing avoided his gaze, only feeling a little weak in her heart.

"Okay." Xiao Hechuan didn't say anything more and left Xiaoyuan.

Looking at his back, Youqing's heart was pounding, and she blushed at her lying.

"Ninth Master."

Li Changfa entered the office.

"What's the matter?" Xiao Hechuan glanced at him.

Li Changfa leaned down slightly, lowered his voice and said, "My subordinates have checked, Miss Youqing has met with Yi Shikai several times these days, and people have seen them in parks and theaters. It is said that ......"

"What do you say?"

"It is said that the Overseer and his wife also know about this."

Xiao Hechuan's eyes sank, he nodded, and said to Li Changfa, "Got it, you go down." ”

Afternoon.

The Overseer's palace was quiet.

Wearing a pair of soft-soled embroidered shoes, Youqing quietly walked around the back garden and walked in the direction of the back door.

She is wearing a very beautiful today, a white embroidered blouse, with a blue skirt, which was given to her by Xiao Wenyue before, she asked a tailor to change it, and the dresses are more fitting, outlining the girl's slender figure, her black hair is like ink, her skin is like cream, and the whole person is indescribably delicate.

Her steps were very light, as if she was afraid of being seen, until she saw the back door, Youqing breathed a sigh of relief, and before she stepped forward, a clear male voice came from behind, "Little niece." ”

Youqing's heart tightened, she looked back and saw Xiao Hechuan's figure.

"Uncle Nine?" Youqing was like a child who had been caught, and panic flashed in her eyes.

"Where are you going?" Xiao Hechuan approached Youqing, looked into her eyes and asked.

"I ...... I'm going to see my classmates......"

"See classmates or see Yi Shikai?" Xiao Hechuan's dark eyes were deep.

Youqing was silent and lowered her head.
