: Mouth is short of mouth

Although Qiao Zhi didn't understand some terms, she still understood the general meaning of Jiang Sheng. She was a little eager to try it, but she was worried: "But this will cost a lot of money. I don't want to tell my mother and the others..."

Her monthly income is only five or six taels of silver.

Jiang Sheng recalled his own painting shop: "It costs about a hundred taels to rent a shop, and you also need to hire a waiter... But these are not important, I do have the money."

"If you are willing, I will go investigate. It shouldn't be a simple matter."

In fact, there are still many uncertainties, the first of which is whether any girls are willing to write storybooks like Qiao Zhi?

Will people who can’t afford books have the leisure to read them? If not, will they lose money?

With Qiao Zhi's approval, Jiang Sheng took it to heart.

When the two of them came out of Qiao Zhi's yard and were about to go find Mrs. Hou and the others, they happened to see Qiao Jiang getting ready to go out.

Qiao Zhi shouted: "Xiao Jiang."

Qiao Jiang stopped and tilted her head: "Sister, cousin Jiang Sheng."

"Where are you going in the first lunar month?" Qiao Zhi wondered.

The school isn't even in session at this time.

Qiao Jiang paused and hesitated: "I...you'd better not ask."

Seeing that he hesitated to speak, Qiao Zhi frowned and thought for a moment, then his eyes widened in disbelief: "What have you done?!"

"Xiao Jiang." Qiao Zhi took a breath and advised in a deep voice, "If you have anything, tell your uncle or aunt. Don't carry it yourself. It will be too late by the time something big happens."

Qiao Jiang was stunned for a moment and shook her head: "Sister, what are you thinking about?"

"I, cough..." he said coyly, "I went to play chess with Jiang Yunsheng."

who?

"Huh——"

Qiao Zhi patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief: "I wonder what the big deal is. Could it be that our two families became enemies because we were not married?"

Qiao Jiang should be so cautious.

Qiao Jiang pursed her lips: "I just think this... is not very appropriate."

Qiao Zhi tilted his head and looked at him, the tassels on his bun swaying slightly: "Then you still want to find him?"

Qiao Jiang was stunned.

Qiao Zhi chuckled: "Don't take this matter to heart. My father and uncle are still officials in the same court as Mr. Jiang. In the future, our brothers may become colleagues with Mr. Jiang."

"Besides, Mr. Jiang is not a treacherous or evil person. You can interact with him as you like."

Qiao Jiang asked tentatively: "Then why did you..."

Before he finished speaking, Qiao Zhi had already understood what he meant and pretended to be profound: "It's just fate."

Destined or not?

This was not something his sister could say.

Qiao Jiang looked at Qiao Zhi strangely, and after a moment said, "Then I'll leave first."

"Go ahead."

Seeing Qiao Jiang turn around and leave, Qiao Zhi grabbed Jiang Sheng and left. As he walked, he complained: "I was scared to death, but the first person who disliked Young Master Jiang was Xiao Jiang. Why do we have such a good relationship with him now?"

Already?"

She said and shook her head: "It's really the nature of a child."

Some time ago, her mother and aunt joked that if the wedding day came to the Jiang family, Jiang Yunsheng would definitely be blocked by all kinds of strange problems Qiao Jiang came up with.

On the other side, Qiao Jiang went straight to Youmingzhai after leaving the house, and Jiang Yunsheng made an appointment to meet him there.

The streets were still a little deserted in the first month of the year, including Youmingzhai. Qiao Jiang arrived at the private room where they often went. After opening the door, Jiang Yunsheng was already sitting at the table. There were black and white chess pieces in a wooden chess jar.

Jiang Yunsheng tilted his head when he heard the noise, and when he saw Qiao Jiang wearing new clothes, the corners of his lips raised: "Hey, we're finally here."

He joked: "I'm still wondering if your delay in arriving is because our family doesn't pay attention to your sister, so you are too lazy to deal with me."

Qiao Jiang closed the door and walked over, picked up the white jade chess piece and took the best position on the chessboard: "I met my sister before going out. She asked me where I was going, so I wasted some time."

While talking, Qiao Jiang seemed to be looking at the chessboard, but her peripheral vision was completely focused on Jiang Yunsheng's face.

But what disappointed him was that the other party still had that unserious smile and no other expression of urgency or curiosity.

Qiao Jiang confirmed and asked: "Jiang Yunsheng, is it true that the matter between you and my sister was blown away?"

Jiang Yunsheng spread his hands: "Are you relieved now?"

Qiao Jiang sat down opposite and said hesitantly: "Actually, I think you are..."

He reluctantly said: "It's okay, not too bad."

He now even feels that it would be good if his sister really married Jiang Yunsheng. At least the Jiang Yunsheng he has come into contact with these days is not like the playboy among his classmates.

He is good-looking and upright. I have never seen him go to any messy places or have any sneaky habits.

No one is worthy of his sister anyway, so Jiang Yunsheng can do this.

Then Jiang Yunsheng said with a smile: "So?"

Qiao Jiang looked away: "So even if you can't become my brother-in-law, I still have you as my friend!"

Jiang Yunsheng leaned back on the chair behind him and said, "Qiao Zhi is not the only one in your family."

Qiao Jiang's eyes widened after she realized what she was saying, and she shouted: "What do you mean by that?!"

I praised him just now! No wonder none of my classmates had a good impression of him, he was too arrogant.

Jiang Yunsheng was innocent: "Literally."

Seeing that Qiao Jiang was still glaring at him, he stretched out his hand to push him back on the chair, and said with a smile: "Calm down, calm down, just say it casually, it's not the first day you have met me."

Qiao Jiang:……

"Jiang Yunsheng." He was silent, but still couldn't help but ask, "Have you really never been beaten for arrogance in your life?"

Jiang Yunsheng laughed loudly: "Yes, but they can't beat me."

Qiao Jiangning choked.

Forget it, it's better to blow it off. If there is a quarrel in the future, his sister may not be able to quarrel with Jiang Yunsheng.

Well, he can't help, and he can't make any noise.

So Qiao Jiang said expressionlessly: "So you deserve not to have a wife."

Let Jiang Yunsheng die alone, thank you.

Hearing this, Jiang Yunsheng shouted: "Make it seem like you are married."

Qiao Jiang said with disgust: "I didn't marry a wife because I was still young. What about you?"

"Fourth Young Master Qiao, I am only six years older than you."

He is a man of talent, graceful and graceful, and is in his prime.

Qiao Jiang nodded in approval: "Yes, six years old."

"Let me analyze the concept of six years old for you." Qiao Jiang clapped her fingers, "When you were fifteen years old, your mother arranged for you to have a marriage, but I was only nine years old and still playing in the mud."

"My eldest brother celebrates the 24th of the New Year. My sister-in-law will give my eldest brother a baby this year. If you are like my eldest brother, you will already be a father in three years. I am not even a child yet...

…”

Jiang Yunsheng didn't say anything in response at first, but he said meaningfully after hearing the last sentence: "If you don't reach the top, you are not necessarily a child, and if you reach the top, you are not necessarily a child."

Qiao Jiang was confused: "What?"

"cough."

For some reason, Jiang Yunsheng suddenly wanted to laugh. He held his stomach and leaned on the chair. He waved his hands to suppress his laughter and said, "It's okay. You continue talking."
