Chapter 188

 The matter of Qian Yuanwai's matchmaking between his daughter and Jiang Li has to start from last night.

After Jiang Feihua's matter was dealt with last night, Yuan Wai and Mrs. Qian returned to the room, but they did not feel sleepy at all.

For the past few days, they have been worried every day and have been sleepless all night, fearing that Jiang Feihua would come to the house and kidnap their daughter. Qian Yuanwai instructed the family members to guard the door day and night, and Mrs. Qian stayed with Qian Qingqing directly.

They also thought about taking their daughter to leave here quickly, but they were afraid that they would be intercepted by Jiang Feihua halfway, which would be even more dangerous. Now that the matter is resolved, although I can't sleep, it is no longer because of worry, but because of joy.

The husband and wife chatted for a long time, praising Jiang Li and Xuan Qing to the sky, lamenting that they had really accumulated a lot of blessings in their previous life, and only have such two noble people to help them in this life.

Chatting and chatting, Mrs. Qian suddenly mentioned that Jiang Li is not only a good-looking person, but also has a good heart. I don't know which daughter is so lucky. If her daughter can choose such a good husband in the future, she will be relieved.

When Qian Yuan heard it, he felt that her words were reasonable, and thought for a while, guessing that Jiang Li might not be married yet. If his daughter was interested, he would have the cheek to ask Jiang Li tomorrow to inquire.

Mrs. Qian thinks it is feasible. Their Qian family has a great business. They don't need a son-in-law to be the icing on the cake. They only need him to be of pure character and to be nice to his daughter. Jiang Li meets all the conditions. .

So early the next morning, Mrs. Qian went to find out what Qian Qingqing said. When Qian Qingqing heard her mention Jiang Li, her face turned red, so Mrs. Qian naturally understood her intentions.

Jiang Li is a talented person and is her savior. It is normal for her to have an interest in Jiang Li. As a past person, Mrs. Qian understands it very well.

So there was a scene during lunch, Qian Yuanwai inquired about Jiang Li's situation at home.

Qian Yuanwai heard Jiang Li say he didn't have a wife, so he couldn't close his mouth with laughter, so he immediately matched him and his daughter, but Xuan Qing broke the chopsticks before Jiang Li said the words. .

The four pairs of eyes on the table gathered on Xuan Qing's body. Xuan Qing calmly put half the chopsticks in his hand on the table, and said calmly, "Hands are shaking."

Jiang Li: "..." The shaking was a bit violent.

When Qian Yuan heard what Xuan Qing said, he hurriedly called his servants over: "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 he finished speaking, he left the table first. After walking a few steps, he found that Jiang Li hadn't followed. Looking back, he saw Jiang Li was still sitting on the stool, holding a piece of fried fish balls in his mouth, his face was right. Satisfaction of food.

Xuan Qing: "..."

Jiang Li swallowed the fish balls in his mouth and saw Xuan Qing looking at him with a dark face, so he said innocently: "What are you looking at me for? You are full, I haven't I'm full." The

implication is that if you want to go, you go first, I won't go.

Xuan Qing: "..."

Qian Yuan saw that the atmosphere between the two seemed a little sharp, not as harmonious as yesterday. Although he felt strange, he didn't want to ask questions, so he stood up and said to Xuan Qing, "Master Xuan Qing. , it's still early, why don't you sit down for a while? I'll let someone make you a cup of tea."

Xuan Qing saw Jiang Li sitting at the dining table with a calm look, talking to Qian Qingqing while eating, and he didn't know what to do. As if he was suffocating, he felt uncomfortable, even more uncomfortable than what Qian Yuanwai said that he wanted to give Qian Qingqing to Jiang Li.

It was the first time in his life that he experienced this feeling, and he couldn't figure out why, but he felt that the anger in his heart was getting bigger and bigger, which made him want to leave immediately, but he couldn't move his feet.

Seeing him standing still, Qian Yuan was a little embarrassed. He looked left and right, not knowing what to do for a while, and looked at Xuan Qing: "Master Xuan Qing..."

Xuan Qing's face was cold, and he turned around and was about to leave. , and heard Jiang Li's voice coming from behind: "By the way, Mr. Qian, what did you tell me just now?"

"Oh oh." Seeing that he took the initiative to mention it, Qian Yuan went on to say, "That's right, my family Qingqing..."

As soon as he started talking, Xuanqing who said he was going to leave suddenly turned around and walked back. He sat down and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment: "Master Xuanqing, you are..."

Xuan Qing didn't answer, but just lowered his eyes and looked at the chopsticks that were broken in two at his hand, the meaning was self-evident.

Qian Yuanwai quickly reacted. Although he didn't know why he suddenly went back and forth, and his face was a little worse than before, he hurriedly asked someone to prepare chopsticks for him again.

As for Jiang Li, who was sitting next to him, the corners of his lips slightly raised an arc, but it quickly dissipated, and no one noticed.

Only the system bound to him, after sensing the change in his mood, asked aloud: "Master host, are you in a better mood?"

"Is it alright." Jiang Li smiled in his heart. I picked up the braised lion head in front of me and took a bite, and found that the taste was a bit better than the one I had just now.

There was an accident that Xuan Qing wanted to leave the table in the middle, and the atmosphere that followed was not as happy as it was at the beginning, but a little more embarrassing.

Mr. Qian couldn't tell what was wrong, but he always felt that this meal was not very comfortable, as if his neck was cold.

After the meal, Mrs. Qian and Qian Qingqing went back to the room. Staff outside Qian made tea, and then they brought up what happened just now and asked Jiang Li how he felt about it.

Jiang Li declined his good intentions, saying that he has no intention of starting a family at present, and just wants to go back to his hometown to manage the inn for his father, and ignore the rest for the time being.

From the outside, Qian Yuan saw that he said it resolutely. Although it was a pity in his heart, he did not force him. He just said that his daughter was not lucky.

"Miss Qian is gentle, kind and considerate, it's because I'm not lucky." Jiang Li said with a smile.

Mr. Qian shook his head with a smile, and instructed the housekeeper to bring over the silver note prepared early in the morning, and handed it to Jiang Li: "You and Master Xuanqing need to use silver taels for food and clothing along the way, which is from Qian. Please don't refuse." What

he said was very true, and Jiang Li did not refuse. After accepting the bank note and thanking him, he stood up and said, "There is a banquet in the world

. Yuanwai also stood up and cupped his hands: "Sir, walk slowly."

After saying goodbye to Qian Yuanwai, Jiang Li and Xuanqing left Qian's house and returned to the inn to pick up their luggage.

Arriving in the room, Jiang Li was not in a hurry to get the things, but divided the bank note given by Qian clerk into two, and handed a large portion of it to Xuan Qing.

Xuan Qing was lowering his head to pack his clothes, when he saw this, he stopped what he was doing and looked up at him: "What do you mean?"

Jiang Li said: "This is a thank you gift from Qian Yuanwai. It was mainly your credit for catching Jiang Feihua last night. Some should belong to you."

"I don't need it." Xuan Qing frowned slightly, and was a little displeased with his behavior that seemed to be clear between the two. When he mentioned taking money from the cottage yesterday, Jiang Li also said that the money was put there. Anyway, the two of them lived together, and whoever took it was the same.

Jiang Li put the silver note directly into his bag and said, "That's not good. You need to pay for food, accommodation and travel on

the road. You can't do it." "What do you mean?" Together.

Jiang Li smiled and said in a relaxed tone: "I was robbed by the bandits back then, thanks to Master Xuan Qing for saving my life, Jiang Li will keep it in mind, I've been following you for the past few days. It's already healed, so I won't cause you any trouble."

Xuan Qing found that he even addressed himself from a friendly "little master" to a polite "Master Xuanqing", clearly wanting to part ways with himself.

Listening to the words in his mouth, the smile that did not reach the bottom of his eyes, and the pretended relaxed tone, Xuan Qing pursed his lips and said, "I didn't think so."

"Really? That's an honor." Jiang Li nodded, and didn't dwell on this topic any more, but put another banknote in his hand into his bag.

Xuan Qing asked: "What's the meaning of this?"

Jiang Li explained: "You saved my life, and I naturally want to repay you. But I have nothing, and I only have what I earned yesterday. I've given it all to you, and I hope you don't dislike it."

Before that, Jiang Li's repayment was obviously to bring Xuanqing back to Qingshui Town, take him to play in the mountains and water, and cook him the vegetarian food he is good at. Hearing this in Xuan Qing's ears, he meant to clear things up.

Xuan Qing's face sank, staring at the silver note in front of him, his hands in his sleeves slowly clenched into fists unconsciously.

He only felt that there was a sudden surge of anger in his heart, like water droplets gathered in all directions, and instantly condensed into a stormy river.

It was a mood swing he had never experienced before.

Jiang Li saw him pursing his lips and didn't say a word. He remembered the indifference when he closed his eyes last night. It was as if his heart had been pierced by a needle. Zhong wanted to ask him aloud why he had to forget that his anger suddenly swept through his heart every time, squeezing the air in his chest into a ball, with nowhere to vent.

But he couldn't open his mouth. The person in front of him was his lover, but he was also a little monk who sat down at the Buddha to eat fast and recite Buddha since he was a child. He didn't understand emotions or the world.

So who can you blame? After all, he is nothing but a lonely soul from another world.

Some powerlessly closed his eyes, Jiang Li forcefully suppressed the emotions that were overturning the river, gave Xuan Qing a deep look, said "take care", then turned around to pick up his baggage and walked towards the door.

He walked extremely slowly, as if every step seemed to carry a prayer, but with every step, the prayers in his heart seemed to be smashed to pieces, and when his hand touched the door, they were almost crushed by himself. trampled.

Jiang Li took a deep breath, reached out and pushed open the door, and stepped out of the threshold.

However, at the moment when the soles of his feet landed, Xuan Qing's voice came from behind: "I'll go back with you."

- I'll go back with you.

The simple five words are so light, but they seem to be scalding hot again with a heart that can cool people down, bringing together the broken prayers 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 beside him, and said in a low voice, "I'll go back to Qingshui Town with you."

After a long silence between the two, Jiang Li's lips finally lifted, and he replied in a low voice: " Alright ."

Xuan Qing stared at the shallow smile on his lips for a while, he didn't know why he made this decision, but looking at the person in front of him, he felt that it was the right choice.

After the two packed up, they left the inn.

This time, instead of walking, they hired a carriage.

Inside the carriage, Xuan Qing sat on the side, folded his hands, and recited the scriptures daily; Jiang Li, on the other hand, leaned on the small tea table, seemingly closing his eyes and resting his mind, but was actually chatting with the system.

"Master host, if the male protagonist didn't say anything just now, do you really want to go alone?" the system asked.

"Let's go, why don't you go?" Jiang Li asked back, "Are you still waiting for him to leave me for dinner?"

"But aren't you afraid? If he is really indifferent."

"Afraid, how could he not be afraid." Jiang Li smiled Said, "But I want to bet once. I don't believe he will forget me so cleanly. It turns out that I won the bet."

If Xuan Qing didn't make a sound at that time, he would indeed leave, but he would come back, not for the sake of Raiders, but for their own heart and commitment to love. He believed that if their identities were swapped, the lover would also chase after him forever.

"Indeed, congratulations to the host." The system said happily, "Then will you continue the strategy?"

"Well, it can be said to continue the strategy, or it can be said to not be attacked." The

system: "What do you mean?"

Jiang Li Explain to it a little bit: "Sometimes it is the best way to retreat. His current status is too special, and the education he received since he was a child is different from that of ordinary people. In our eyes, the relationship between men and women is the second It's a normal thing, but it's different for monks. It's something they can't touch. I'm robbing Buddha right now, and I can't push it step by step like before, it will only backfire like last night."

The system understood: "Does it mean letting nature take its course?"

"It's really smart," Jiang Li boasted.

While they were chatting, the driver who was driving outside suddenly made a "squeak" and the carriage stopped.

Xuan Qing and Jiang Li opened their eyes at the same time, Xuan Qing was close to the door curtain, he leaned forward, reached out and lifted the door curtain and looked out.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Li came over and wanted to see what happened, but Xuan Qing put down the door curtain and said, "It's okay. The driver, go."

However, just after he finished speaking, a voice came from outside the door curtain. A female voice: "Mr. Jiang, are you in the car?"

This was Qian Qingqing's voice. Jiang Li immediately heard it. He turned to look at Xuanqing, only to find that he closed his eyes again and said, "It has nothing to do with me. , I don't know anything".

Jiang Li: "..." What

about the monks who agreed not to lie? ?
