All-Rounded Strategy Game - Chapter 188
The matter of the member of Qian’s matchmaking between his own daughter and Jiang Li must start from last night.
After handling Jiang Feihua’s affairs last night, although Yuan Yuanwai and Madam Qian returned to the room, they did not feel sleepy at all.
In the past few days, they were worried and could not sleep through the night, fearing that Jiang Feihua would come to the door and take their daughter away. Qianwai ordered Jiading to guard at the door day and night, and Madam Qian directly accompanied Qian Qingqing’s room.
They also thought about leaving here quickly with their daughter, but they were afraid of being intercepted by Jiang Feihua in the middle, which would make it even more dangerous. Now that the matter is resolved, even though I can’t fall asleep, it is no longer because of worry, but because of happiness.
The husband and wife have been nagging for a long time, boasting Jiang Li and Xuanqing to the sky, and lamenting that they really have accumulated blessings in their previous life. Only in this life have such two nobles help.
While chatting, Mrs. Qian suddenly mentioned that Jiang Li is more than a talented person, and she has a good heart. I don’t know which girl is so blessed. If her daughter can choose such a good husband in the future, she will be relieved.
Upon hearing this, Member Qian felt that she was right. He thought about it and guessed that Jiang Li might not be married. If his daughter is interested, he will cheekily go to Jiang Li to inquire about it tomorrow.
Mrs. Qian thinks it is feasible. Their Qian family has a big business. They don’t need a son-in-law to be the icing on the cake. They only need him to be pure in character and be good to his daughters. Jiang Li meets all the conditions. He is the first choice and should not be missed. .
So early the next morning, Mrs. Qian went to check Qian Qingqing’s tone. Qian Qingqing’s face blushed when she heard about Jiang Li. In this way, Madam Qian naturally understood her intentions.
Jiang Li is a talented person, and she is her lifesaver. She would be interested in Jiang Li, but it is normal. Mrs. Qian, as a person over here, understands very well.
So when there was lunch, the member of Qian asked about Jiang Li’s situation at home.
When the member of Qian heard Jiang Li said that he did not marry a wife, his mouth could not be closed with a smile, and he immediately matched him with his daughter. But Jiang Li hadn’t said anything, but Xuanqing broke his chopsticks. .
Four pairs of eyes gathered on Xuan Qing on the table, and Xuan Qing put half of the chopsticks in her hand on the table quietly, and said calmly, “Hands are shaking.”
Jiang Li: “…” It was shaking a bit badly.
Member Qian outside heard Xuan Qing’s words, and hurriedly greeted the next person: “Hurry up and bring a pair of chopsticks to Master Xuan Qing.”
“No, I’m full.” Xuan Qing stood up from the stool and said to Jiang Li, “Let’s go.”
After speaking, he took the lead to leave the table. After walking a few steps, he found that Jiang Li did not follow. When he looked back, he saw that Jiang Li was still sitting on the stool with a piece of fried fish **** in his mouth. His face was right. Food satisfaction.
Xuan Qing: “…”
Jiang Li swallowed the fish ball in his mouth and saw Xuan Qing looking at him with a black face, so he said innocently: “What are you looking at me for? You are full, I am not full yet.”
The implication is that if you want to go, you go first, and I will not go.
Xuan Qing: “…”
Member Qian saw that the atmosphere between the two seemed a bit sharp, not as harmonious as yesterday. Although he felt strange, but he was not easy to ask, he stood up and said to Xuan Qing, “Master Xuan Qing, it’s too early. Sit for a while? I’ll have someone make you a cup of tea.”
Xuan Qing saw Jiang Li sitting at the dining table in a relaxed and calm manner, and while eating while talking to Qian Qingqing, she felt sulking in her heart for some reason, and she felt uncomfortable. It would still be uncomfortable to give Qian Qingqing to Jiang Li.
This feeling was the first time he had experienced this in his lifetime, and he couldn’t figure out why. He just felt that the aura in his heart was getting bigger and bigger, and it made him want to leave immediately, but he couldn’t move half of his feet.
Seeing him standing still, Qian Yuan was a little embarrassed. He looked left and right. For a while, he didn’t know what to do. He looked at Xuan Qing, “Master Xuan Qing…”
Xuan Qing calmed down, flung his sleeves and turned around to leave, and heard Jiang Li’s voice from behind: “By the way, the money member, what did you tell me just now?”
“Oh oh.” When the member of Qian looked at him taking the initiative to mention it, he also continued, “That’s it, my family is young…”
As soon as he started talking, he saw Xuan Qing, who was about to leave, suddenly turned around and walked back, sat down in the seat just now, and couldn’t help but stunned: “Master Xuan Qing, you are…”
Xuan Qing didn’t answer, but just looked down at the chopsticks that had been broken in two, and the meaning was self-evident.
Qianwai quickly reacted, although he didn’t know how he suddenly returned, and his face was a little worse than before, he quickly asked someone to prepare his chopsticks again.
As for Jiang Li, who was sitting next to him, the corners of his lips raised slightly, but they disappeared quickly, and no one noticed.
Only the system bound with him, after sensing the change in his mood, asked out aloud: “Master host, are you in a better mood?”
“It’s okay.” Jiang Li smiled from the bottom of his heart, took a bite of the braised lion head in front of him, and found that the taste was a bit better than what he had just eaten.
There was an accident that Xuanqing wanted to leave midway, and the atmosphere that followed was not as happy as it was at the beginning, but a little bit more embarrassing.
The staff member Qian couldn’t tell what was wrong, but he always felt that the meal was not very comfortable, as if his neck was cold.
After the meal, Madam Qian and Qian Qingqing went back to the room, and the staff outside the Qian asked someone to make tea before they brought up the matter again and asked Jiang Liyi what he was doing.
Jiang Li declined his kind intentions, saying that he had no idea of starting a family at the moment, and just wanted to go back to his hometown to manage the inn for his father, and he would not consider the rest for the time being.
The member of Qian looked at him resolutely, although it was a pity in his heart, but he did not force him, only that his daughter was not lucky.
“Miss Qian is gentle and considerate. It’s because I have no luck.” Jiang Li smiled.
Qian Wai smiled and shook his head. He ordered the butler to bring the banknotes prepared early in the morning and handed them to Jiang Li: “You and Master Xuanqing need to use silver taels for food and clothing along the way. This is Qian’s. Don’t refuse to say anything about it.”
What he said was so true that Jiang Li did not refuse. After receiving the bank note and thanking him, he stood up and said, “The world is full of banquets. Outside the Qian, I’m leaving.”
Member Qian also stood up and arched his hands: “Mr. Go slowly.”
After saying goodbye to Qian Yuanwai, Jiang Li and Xuan Qing left Qian Mansion and returned to the inn to take their luggage.
When he arrived in the room, Jiang Li was not in a hurry to get things, but divided the banknotes given by the money clerk into two, and handed a large amount to Xuan Qing.
Xuan Qing was bowing her head to pack her clothes, stopped the movement when she saw it, and looked up at him: “What do you mean?”
Jiang Li said, “This is a thank you gift from a member of the money. The main reason for catching Jiang Feihua last night was your credit. This should be yours.”
“I don’t need it.” Xuan Qing frowned, and was a little displeased with his behavior that seemed to be clear between the two. When Ming Ming mentioned taking money from the cottage yesterday, Jiang Li also said that the money should be released to him. There, anyway, two people eat and live together, and everyone is the same.
Jiang Li directly put the bank note into his bag and said, “That’s not good. You need to spend money on food, lodging, and transportation on the road. You can’t stop it.”
“What do you mean?” Xuan Qing heard what he meant, and didn’t plan to travel together.
Jiang Li smiled and said in a relaxed tone: “I was robbed by bandits at the beginning. Thanks to Master Xuanqing who saved my life, Jiang Li remembered that he has followed you with his face in the past few days. I must be bothered by you. I am not right. My injury is right now. It’s already done, so I won’t trouble you anymore.”
Xuan Qing discovered that he had even changed his name from an intimate “little master” to a polite “Master Xuanqing”, and he clearly wanted to part ways with him.
Listening to the words in his mouth, as well as his unsightly smile, and pretentiously relaxed tone, Xuan Qing pursed his lips and said, “I didn’t think so.”
“Really? That’s an honor.” Jiang Li nodded, and did not spend any more time on this topic, but put another banknote in his hand into his bag.
Xuan Qing asked, “What does this mean?”
Jiang Li explained: “You saved my life, and I naturally want to repay you. But I don’t have any long-term possessions. I only have the things I earned yesterday. Now I give it all to you. I hope you don’t dislike it. “
Prior to this, Jiang Li’s repayment was obviously to bring Xuanqing back to Qingshui Town, take him to travel around the mountains and water, and cook him a vegetarian diet he was good at. Now what he said was in Xuanqing’s ears, he wanted to The meaning of Liangqing.
Xuanqing’s complexion sank, staring at the silver ticket in front of him, and the hands placed in his sleeves slowly clenched into fists unconsciously.
He only felt that there seemed to be a burst of anger suddenly growing in his heart, like drops of water that gathered from all directions, instantly condensed into a turbulent river.
It was a mood swing he hadn’t experienced before.
Jiang Li watched him press his lips without saying a word. He remembered the indifference and mercilessness when he closed his eyes last night. His heart seemed to have been pierced by a needle. A kind of painful pain spread, causing his chest to rise and fall sharply. I wanted to ask him why he had to forget his anger every time. The anger swept through his heart suddenly, squeezing the air in his chest into a ball, and there was nowhere to vent.
But he couldn’t speak. The person in front of him was his lover, but he was also a young monk who had sat down and eaten the Buddha since he was a child. He didn’t understand feelings and the world, and he couldn’t be blamed for this.
So who can I blame? After all, he was just a lonely soul from another world.
He closed his eyes weakly, Jiang Li forcefully suppressed those feelings of overwhelming, took a deep look at Xuan Qing, said “take care”, then turned around and picked up his baggage, and walked to the door.
He walked extremely slowly, as if every step seemed to be with prayers, but every step he took, the hopes in his heart seemed to be crushed, and when his hand touched the door, they were almost by himself. Trampled out.
Jiang Li took a deep breath, stretched his hand to push the door open, and raised his foot to step out of the threshold.
However, at the moment when the soles of his feet landed, Xuanqing’s voice came from behind: “I will go back with you.”
—I’ll go back with you.
The five simple words are so light, but they are as hot as warming with a heart that can cool people again, bringing together the broken hopes just now.
Jiang Li listened to the footsteps coming from behind, and for a moment, he even had the urge to cry.
The man followed from behind, stopped by his side, and said in a low voice: “I will return to Qingshui Town with you.”
There was a long silence between the two, Jiang Li finally raised the corners of his lips and replied in a low voice, “Okay.”
Xuan Qing stared at his lips with a small smile for a long time. He didn’t know why he made this decision, but when he looked at the person in front of him, he felt that this was the right choice.
After the two had packed up, they left the inn.
Instead of walking this time, they hired a carriage.
In the carriage, Xuanqing sat on one side with her hands folded and chanted daily; Jiang Li, on the contrary, leaned on the small tea table, seemingly closing his eyes and resting, but in fact chatting with the system.
“Host host, if the hero didn’t say anything just now, do you really want to leave alone?” the system asked.
“Go, why don’t you go?” Jiang Li asked, “Are you waiting for him to keep me for dinner?”
“But aren’t you afraid? What if he is really indifferent.”
“I’m afraid, how can I not be afraid.” Jiang Li smiled, “but I want to bet once. I don’t believe that he will forget me so cleanly. It turns out that I won the bet.”
If Xuan Qing did not say anything, he would indeed leave, but he would come back, not for the strategy, but for his own heart and his promise to his lover. He believes that if their identities are swapped, their lovers will also chase themselves for life.
“It’s true, congratulations to the host.” The system said happily, “Then you still continue the strategy?”
“Well, it can be said to continue the strategy, or it can be said to be no strategy.”
System: “What do you mean?”
Jiang Li explained to it a little bit: “Sometimes the best way to advance is to retreat. His current status is too special. The education he received since childhood is different from ordinary people. The love between men and women is in our eyes. It’s normal, but it’s different for monks. It’s something they can’t touch. Now I’m robbing the Buddha, so I can’t press hard like I did before. It will only be counterproductive like last night. .”
The system understands: “That means letting it go?”
“Really smart.” Jiang Li boasted.
They were chatting when the coachman driving outside suddenly “called” and the carriage stopped.
Xuan Qing and Jiang Li opened their eyes at the same time, Xuan Qing was close to the curtain, he leaned forward, stretched out his hand to open the curtain and looked out.
“What’s the matter?” Jiang Li leaned over, trying to see what happened, but Xuan Qing lowered the curtain and said, “It’s okay. Coachman, let’s go.”
However, as soon as he finished speaking, a female voice came from outside the curtain: “Mr. Jiang, are you in the car?”
This was Qian Qingqing’s voice. Jiang Li heard it right away. He turned his head to look at Xuan Qing, only to find that he closed his eyes again and looked like “It has nothing to do with me, I don’t know anything”.
Jiang Li: “…”
The monks who have said that they don’t stop talking? ?
