Xie Chengchou looked at Jiang Wan with a smile: "Miss Jiang, please don't worry, I don't have the slightest malice towards you." I just want to get to know the girl. ”

Jiang Wan didn't believe Xie Chengchou's words. I just want to know her, so I go to such great lengths to find her, who will believe it when I say it?

But at this time, she could only follow Xie Chengchou's words and say: "In this case, now that we have met, Mr. Xie will please go back." My father and mother are cowardly, and you have already scared them. ”

Xie Chengchou hurriedly said: "I am too anxious in the next place, and I really didn't think it through." I will make amends to them in a moment. ”

"Master Xie, don't make amends, if you make amends, it will only make my father and mother panic even more." Jiang Wan said.

Xie Chengchou suddenly said: "What Miss Jiang said is true." It's just Miss Jiang, I didn't finish what I said before, I came here to get to know the girl, and I also want to propose to the girl's family. ”

Jiang Wan looked dazed: "...... What? ”

Xie Chengchou said: "I am very fond of the girl and want to spend this life with the girl." ”

Jiang Wan blinked, a little confused. Although when they met for the second time, Xie Chengchou had mentioned that he wanted to make a personal promise, but how could she take it seriously? He must have said that on purpose because of her golden finger - she thought so at the time, and now that she heard him mention the idea of marrying her again, she still thought that he was so behaving because of her golden finger.

Jiang Wan was just about to speak, when she saw Xie Chengchou's gaze suddenly look behind her. She frowned and turned around, and saw Pei You standing at the gate of the courtyard, his face pale.

Xie Chengchou squinted at Pei You for a while, and saw that he was dressed as a scholar, and suddenly remembered that Xu Tucai said that the person next door to Jiang Wan's house suffered because he walked around her house more often...... I guess that's the one.

Seeing that he was discovered, Pei You looked panicked and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry...... Miss Jiang, I didn't know you had a guest, so I'm sorry. ”

After he finished speaking, he turned his head to leave, Jiang Wan hurriedly took two steps and shouted, "Mr. Pei! ”

Pei You turned his head with a reluctant smile on his face: "I'll come back to Aunt Feng later." ”

Jiang Wan saw that his gaze was evasive, and she thought that the words that Xie Chengchou just said just now were afraid that he had heard them, so she knew that he had misunderstood something, but now that Xie Chengchou was present, she still had to send him away first, and Pei You could only talk about it later.

"I know, I'll talk to my mother in a moment." Jiang Wan said.

Pei You glanced at her quickly, bowed his head and said, "Thank you." Then he hurried away.

Jiang Wan felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, and when she turned her head, she saw that Xie Chengchou's inquiring gaze fell on Pei You's back, and she moved a step sideways to block Xie Chengchou's sight.

Xie Chengchou retracted his gaze and said with a smile: "Presumably this is the person who lives next door to your house, right?" ”

"It's him." Jiang Wan looked vigilant, "Gongzi Xie really knows the situation of my family. ”

Seeing Jiang Wan's displeasure, Xie Chengchou hurriedly said: "Please don't misunderstand Miss Jiang, I really have no ill will towards Miss Jiang in the future, this matter is just heard from Xu Tucai." I only learned about Miss Jiang's residence last night, and I came here early this morning, even if I wanted to check the details of the girl's house, I didn't have time. ”

Jiang Wan didn't expect Xie Chengchou to be so frank when he spoke, and she didn't know whether to believe his words for a while. Xie Chengchou's treatment of Rona let her know that others are not bad, but everyone is greedy, who knows what kind of idea he will make for her golden finger?

But then again, even if he really wanted to beat her, she couldn't resist at all now.

"Gongzi Xie, what do you want?" Jiang Wan said.

Xie Chengchou's face was frank: "I have already said below, I want to marry a girl." ”

Jiang Wan said: "Gongzi Xie, since Xu Tucai sued you and me about the situation, then he must have also sued you, my Kefu's life, right?" ”

Xie Chengchou nodded: "He did say it." ”

"Then you still ......"

"That's just nonsense." Xie Chengchou said with a smile, "I have always disbelieved in those strange and chaotic things. ”

Jiang Wan was a little surprised, she thought that in this era, Kefu's life, basically everyone would believe it, but she didn't expect Xie Chengchou to not believe it, it sounded like he was still an ancient version of an atheist!

Jiang Wan felt a little kind for a while, after all, it was really rare to meet an atheist in ancient times, but at the same time, she was still wary of him. The fact that she has a golden finger is originally just her business, and now there is a half-understood Xie Chengchou, which makes her very insecure.

After thinking about it, she still didn't want to have too much to do with him.

"Gongzi Xie, my Kefu's life is true." Jiang Wan said sincerely, "My first two fiancés' families died tragically because of this, and even Xu Daniu in the village broke his leg because of this. Gongzi Xie, I don't want to hurt you, you better go back. ”

Xie Chengchou's eyes lit up slightly, and at this moment he finally confirmed that the reason why she ran so fast when she saw him after the second time was because she didn't want to bother her. Such a kind and sincere girl, he really admires and loves it!

"Miss Jiang, you are really a pure and good person." Xie Chengchou said, his eyes burning, "It's just that the girl doesn't have to be afraid of hurting me, the so-called Kefu is really just nonsense, your first two fiancés died in natural disasters**, but they don't have the blessing to marry you." Miss Jiang, please rest assured, life is hard in the next day, and the girl can't hurt me. ”

Jiang Wan didn't expect that she would say that Xie Chengchou didn't flinch at all, stared at his sincere gaze for a while, and said, "But Gongzi Xie, I don't want to marry you, as the son of the magistrate, you can't marry forcibly, right?" ”

Xie Chengchou hurriedly said: "Miss Jiang's words are serious, my father will naturally not agree to me messing around." If Miss Jiang is unwilling to marry me, I will not force her. It is an honor to meet the girl. It's just that...... I have a reluctant request, and I ask the girl to agree. ”

"Since Gongzi Xie already knows that it is a reluctant invitation, there is no need to say it." Jiang Wan was not polite.

Xie Chengchou was a little embarrassed on his face, but he still laughed and said, "Why should Miss Jiang be like this? Why not let me tell you about it? ”

"I don't want to hear it." Jiang Wan said.

Xie Chengchou frowned slightly, a little helpless, and couldn't help laughing after a while: "Miss Jiang, I'm really glad that I came to find you today." The girl is more interesting than I thought, and it will be a great joy in life to be married to you. ”

Jiang Wan was a little helpless, what about the subtlety of the ancients? In this Xie Gongzi, why didn't she see it at all!

"Gongzi Xie, please respect yourself." Jiang Wan said.

Xie Chengchou was stunned for a moment, then said apologetically: "What Miss Jiang said is that I shouldn't be so revealing my heart and make Miss Jiang embarrassed." ”

Jiang Wan thought to herself, she didn't feel embarrassed at all, okay......

"Master Xie, if you want to thank me for my previous kindness, there are other ways, this 'promise by example' is better to forget it." Jiang Wan said slowly, she gradually realized that it might not be as difficult as she imagined to deal with Xie Chengchou. Although he said that he wanted to marry her, when she disagreed, he didn't seem to care, which shows that the so-called marrying her is not resolute, and it is likely that he just said it casually. If he really spoke as well as he appeared, she would have wanted to have a good relationship with him. After all, the other party is the son of the county, if she can make friends with him, then it will obviously be much easier for her to make a fortune in the county in the future, and she can enjoy the shade with her back against the big tree.

Jiang Wan had many thoughts flashing through her mind for a moment, and continued: "Gongzi Xie is worried about how I learned that you are jealous of others? ”

Some things must be made clear, so it is better for her to take the initiative.

Xie Chengchou said sincerely: "It's a little worried. It's just that after he saw her real person, he felt that it was irrelevant, and his heart was now full of friendship with Jiang Wan, since she didn't want to marry, then he would be a gentleman with her. He had a gut feeling that if it seemed strange to another woman, she would not disappoint him.

But he didn't really think it at the moment, and when he heard that she wanted to confess, he wanted to hear it too.

"Then I'll tell the truth to Gongzi Xie." Jiang Wan said, "Actually, I don't know why this happened, it's just that when I met Gongzi Xie that day, I happened to see some pictures, so I was able to remind Gongzi of you." I haven't seen it since. ”

Jiang Wan basically told the truth, but she concealed the picture that she had seen Pei You being admitted to the imperial examination in the future, and because of this, Xie Chengchou misunderstood, her golden finger could only be used once.

Xie Chengchou's eyes lit up slightly: "In this way, you and I are destined?" ”

Jiang Wan didn't expect Xie Chengchou to be so understanding, and hurriedly said: "Gongzi Xie, I'm just afraid that you are favored by heaven, and God doesn't want you to die young, so I borrowed my mouth to help you get out of danger." ”

Xie Chengchou said: "No matter what, I should also thank Miss Jiang." Since Miss Jiang doesn't want to marry me, I ask Miss Jiang to make any requests, and I will fulfill it for the girl. ”

Jiang Wan asked tentatively, "What if I ask you not to come to me again in the future?" ”

Xie Chengchou looked calm: "I can't agree to this." Miss Jiang, you can change it again. ”

Jiang Wan was a little speechless, he asked her to put forward the conditions casually, she mentioned it, he said no, she mentioned it again, he could say no, what's the point?

"I haven't thought about it yet, can Gongzi Xie allow me to mention it in the future?" Jiang Wan asked.

Xie Chengchou looked happy: "That's naturally okay." "Doesn't it mean that from this day onwards he will be able to befriend her? Naturally, he was pleased.

"Then Mr. Xie...... I won't send you. Jiang Wan said.

Xie Chengchou saw her send off the guests so decisively, and his heart was really a little depressed. Thinking that as the son of Zhixian County, he was invincible in Changping County, but he never thought that he would touch a nail in her. If it was someone else, I heard that he wanted to marry her, I am afraid that he would have been happily married, right? It's just that she always seems to be quite repulsive to him, which really makes him a little sad. But if you really want to talk about it, this is one of the reasons why she is so attractive to him.

"This jade pendant, please accept it from Miss Jiang." Xie Chengchou took off the jade pendant from his waist and handed it over, "If the girl encounters something difficult in the future, even if she comes to the mansion to find me, I will definitely solve the girl's problems." ”

Jiang Wan thought about it, then took it and said, "Then thank you so much, Childe." ”

Seeing her take it, Xie Chengchou smiled on his face: "Yes, then I'll go back first, take care of the girl, and see you again in the future." ”

"Gongzi Xie also take care." Jiang Wan said with a smile.

Xie Chengchou called Xie An, and the latter hurriedly walked out of the house, and followed Xie Chengchou into the carriage and left.

Jiang Wan held the jade pendant, thinking about what happened just now, and was still a little dazed. She thought that the sky was going to fall when Xie Chengchou found her, who knew that Xie Chengchou was so easy to speak, and the reason why she had always been worried was gone, and she had another golden finger - if anyone dared to bully her family in the future, as long as Xie Chengchou's name was reported, who would dare not give her family face?

When Xie Chengchou's carriage passed Pei You's house, he suddenly asked Xie An to stop, and when he turned around, he saw that Jiang Wan didn't come out to pay attention to this side, so he got out of the carriage.

Pei You was standing in the courtyard in a daze, when he heard the movement at the door, he thought it was Jiang Wan coming, and turned his head happily, but saw that the person who came turned out to be a guest of Jiang Wan's family.

I saw Xie Chengchou arching his hand and smiling: "Mr. Pei, under Xie Chengchou, the magistrate of Changping County is the father of the family." ”

Xie Chengchou has always been proud of his identity, and he never forgot to mention his father when he went out to report his home, but his habit, in Pei You's opinion, is a deterrent.

Pei You was shocked in his heart, he didn't expect that the person who went to Jiang Wan's house to propose marriage turned out to be the son of the Zhixian family, and he suddenly felt a hot face. Previously, when he went to Jiang Wan's house, he accidentally heard this Gongzi Xie proposing to Jiang Wan, and at that time he only felt that the six gods had no master.

Although he and Wanwan are in love, but between them, there is a mother who stands in the way, and at this moment he can't even confess to his mother, and he can't reveal his true heart in front of anyone. But this son who came to propose marriage, when he didn't know his identity before, Pei You felt that the other party was either rich or noble, and his temperament was outstanding, and now that he learned that the other party was the son of the county, he couldn't help but feel a trace of inferiority in his heart - Gongzi Xie has a good family background and fearless courage, but he has nothing, Wanwan...... What should Wanwan think of him? When any woman faces him and Gongzi Xie, she will choose Gongzi Xie......

Pei You said: "Gongzi Xie, Xiaosheng Pei You, I really dare not take the title of 'Mr.' ”

Xie Chengchou said with a smile: "Since Miss Jiang calls you Mr. Pei, there is nothing wrong with me following her to call you the same." ”

Xie Chengchou's intimacy with Jiang Wan in his tone made Pei You lower his gaze, and his heart was gloomy for a while.

Xie Chengchou said: "I proposed to Miss Jiang just now, but unfortunately she didn't agree. ”

Pei You pricked up his ears and listened to his words, and when he said this, he couldn't help but be happy in his heart.

Xie Chengchou smiled a little meaningfully: "Come to think of it, one of the reasons why Miss Jiang refused to agree is Mr. Pei." ”

Pei You was taken aback, looked up at Xie Chengchou in surprise, and stammered a little: "Xie, Gongzi Xie, why do you say this?" ”

Xie Chengchou opened the fan with a snap, fanned it, closed it again, and nodded his eyes: "Naturally, I saw it below." ”

Pei You's pale look when he heard the conversation between the two, and Jiang Wan's demeanor when facing Pei You, was actually enough to show that Xie Chengchou's ability to observe words and emotions has always been not weak, so he naturally guessed one or two.

Pei You's face turned red, and he didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

Xie Chengchou smiled and said, "Mr. Pei, come to think of it, you haven't talked about your relationship with Miss Jiang to outsiders, right?" Even, you haven't even figured out between the two of you? ”

Pei You was naturally reluctant to talk to a stranger about his relationship with Jiang Wan, so he only said embarrassedly: "Gongzi Xie ......"

Xie Chengchou didn't let him finish, only smiled: "Mr. Pei, I won't beat around the bush." Although Miss Jiang did not agree to marry me, I did not give up. Come to think of it, sincerely, the gold and stone are open, and I can always get Miss Jiang to agree to marry me in the future. ”

Pei You was stunned, and after a moment of silence, he said, "I don't know what Gongzi Xie means by telling me this?" ”

"I don't mean anything else, just make a statement." Xie Chengchou smiled, "If you can retreat from the difficulties, then it would be great." If you don't want to, I just put a little more effort into it, and I can always make Miss Jiang fall in love with me and marry me voluntarily. ”

Pei You's face turned slightly pale, is this county magistrate threatening him?

Xie Chengchou seemed to see through him, and still smiled: "Mr. Pei, don't worry, I am a frank person." In the matter of Miss Jiang, you and I have our own abilities, and I will not use my identity to suppress you. ”

Pei You didn't respond to him, but there seemed to be a little more uncertainty in his eyes.

Xie Chengchou smiled, said goodbye, and got into the carriage and left. After such a conversation, he felt that this Mr. Pei was not afraid at all, and his heart was naturally very happy.

Jiang Wan couldn't have imagined that Xie Chengchou would go to Pei You after leaving her house, and after Xie Chengchou's carriage left, she saw Xu Tucai also walking out of her house.

Seeing her, Xu Tucai's expression was a little complicated, at this moment Xie Chengchou had already left, he hesitated for a long time and then said worriedly: "Miss Jiang, I used to be wrong, and I was confused for a while, so I ...... You have a lot of adults, don't worry about me, okay? ”

Jiang Wan looked at him with a sneer. This Xu Tucai's weakness at the moment is just because he saw that she was friendly with Xie Chengchou and was afraid that she would deal with him, where is he sincerely repentant?

She seemed to be unconsciously fiddling with the jade pendant in her hand, Xu Tucai's eyes couldn't help but look into her hand, and recognized that it was worn by Xie Chengchou before, and her pupils shrank.

"It's okay if I don't care." Jiang Wan lowered her head and said, "As long as your mouth is tight enough." ”

Xu Tucai said repeatedly: "Miss Jiang, please rest assured! I've always had a very tight mouth! ”

"That'll be fine." Jiang Wan tugged at the corners of her mouth, her eyes swept behind him, and she saw that her father and brother had come out, and she hurriedly greeted her, "Dad, mother!" ”

Seeing this, Xu Tucai hurriedly left first.

Xu Fenggu grabbed Jiang Wan's hand and asked anxiously, "Wanwan, what is the matter with Gongzi Xie coming to find you?" ”

"Mother, don't worry, it's not a bad thing." Jiang Wan smiled, "Haven't I been to the county several times before?" Once, I helped one of Xie Gongzi's confidantes, and I didn't leave my name at the time, but I didn't expect him to find him and say that he wanted to repay the favor. ”

Xu Fenggu looked surprised, and at the same time felt a little dizzy when she was hit by a pie: "The prince of the county said that he wanted to repay the favor?" ”

"Mother, look, this is the jade pendant he gave me, saying that if there is trouble in the future, you can go to him." Jiang Wan smiled, "Mother, from now on, we will also have a backer!" ”

Xu Fenggu still looked incredulous, and it took a long time before she said: "Fang Cai is really scared to death, my mother still thinks that you provoked the people of the government!" ”

"Mother, why are you a troublemaker when your daughter is a troublemaker?" Jiang Wan sneered, "From now on, Gongzi Xie will be our backer, let's go to the county to do business, and we don't have to be afraid of those ruffians anymore!" ”

When Xu Fenggu heard Jiang Wan say this, she smiled on her face. This kind of pie in the sky can even fall to her house - she doesn't doubt Jiang Wan's words, she feels that Jiang Wan doesn't need to lie about this matter at all, and isn't that Gongzi Xie already gone? That is the best testimony to her words, otherwise if she offends Gongzi Xie, how can she be good now!

Jiang Funian didn't care so much about having an extra backer, knowing that his daughter didn't get into trouble, his face relaxed.

Jiang Gu, who just knew something, was full of worries, and knew that this was not a good time to ask questions, so he had to stop talking.

When Xu Fenggu and Jiang Funian didn't pull Jiang Wan to say anything, Jiang Gu pulled Jiang Wan to the side.

"Sister, that day, didn't Gongzi Xie still want to arrest you as his concubine?" Jiang Gu still remembered that day he was arrested by Xie Chengchou because of Rona, and he finally escaped with great difficulty, and he really couldn't believe what Jiang Wan explained before.

Jiang Wan then remembered what she casually explained when Jiang Gu asked her why the county magistrate wanted to arrest her, and coughed: "I said it casually that day, don't believe it." ”

Jiang Gu glared at her in shock: "You, what are you talking nonsense?" ”

Jiang Wan nodded: "Otherwise, if what I said that day is true, Gongzi Xie would have taken me away at this time, how could he talk to me in a good voice, and leave a jade pendant for me." ”

Jiang Gu felt that he was a little hurt, in vain he was so worried that Jiang Wan would be taken away by Xie Chengchou as a concubine, but he didn't expect it to be fake.

Jiang Wan rubbed his head vigorously and said comfortingly: "Xiao Er, I'm sorry, my sister was not good before, and my sister shouldn't lie to you." At that time, I just thought that more things were better than less things, so I lied casually, thinking that I would not have any more intersections with Gongzi Xie, but I didn't expect him to be so persistent in finding him. How about you forgive your sister? ”

Seeing Jiang Wan apologize to herself so solemnly, Jiang Gu was embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "Sister, I understand, I forgive my sister!" ”

"That's good." Jiang Wan rubbed Jiang Gu's head.

After pacifying Jiang Gu, Jiang Wan went out of the courtyard and prepared to find Pei You. If he misunderstood, she couldn't let him continue to misunderstand.
