Xiayi let the old Cangtou who was guarding the house open a wing room in the outer courtyard. Although the house didn't live, it had everything.

Pull off the white cloth that used to cover the dust, and you can live in it with a little cleaning.

"Make do with it first. I'll send some clean bedding later." Xia Yi settles down Qiao an and then leaves in a hurry. After all, she and Xiaoyue still have something important to do.

Joan was very satisfied with this house, but he still expressed his worry: "Miss Xiayi, don't you really have to report with your wife? You lent me this place without permission? "

"Since I dare to lend you this place, I'm sure I'm quite sure." Xia Yi looked at Qiao an and said with a smile, "it's better to think about how to deal with the imperial examination in March than to worry about me."

Said, Xiayi will take Xiaoyue and Lanyi to leave.

Joanne followed him all the way out, watching him in the alley

They are far away.

"Young master... Is this miss Xiayi the one you often talk about?" Small Si Mo dye stands behind Qiao an, thinking about feet, looking at the figure of several people in the distance, some say to themselves.

After hearing this, Qiao an covered Mo Ran's mouth with a nervous face, and looked back and forth to make sure that there was no one else in the alley. Then she relaxed her way: "can you just talk nonsense in the street?"

Knowing that he had said something wrong, Mo ran hushed quickly.

In their time, talking about a girl will bring great trouble to each other.

After returning to the mansion, Xia Yi talked to Jiang Wan about it.

"So he should have come to enko this year?" As soon as Jiang Wan talked about Qiao an, she thought that he was red and swollen by Lanyi, and she couldn't help laughing, "but why didn't he live in Maoer alley?"

Xia Yi then told Jiang Wan the reason that Qiao an told him, Jiang Wan

Wan thought of Joanne's rebellious nature, but thought it was something he would do.

"Since he wants to keep it from the other side, let's take it as if we don't know." Jiang Wan also ordered Xia Yi to say, "only you let people send some food every other period of time, and let us make the best of our friendship."

Xia Yi answered with a smile.

That night, Jiang Wan told Xiao Ruixuan about Qiao an's entry into Beijing. Xiao Ruixuan said with a smile: "I didn't expect that he had entered Beijing so early. I thought he would come here at the end of the month. He was afraid that he would start from Jiangnan just after the 15th day of the first month."

After calculating the time, Jiang Wan thought it was true, so he couldn't help laughing and said, "I didn't expect that this time, he would care so much!"

However, Xiao Ruixuan sighed: "he has to take care of himself. Since Qiao's retirement, there has been no official in the court. Before, Qiao's family could make a living with Yu en, but this kind of human relationship was used once less than once. What's more, the Qiao family had experienced the separation of clans before, and their vitality was greatly damaged. If no one could stand up at this time

Come on, I'm afraid the Qiao family will decline. "

Fortunately, Joanne's generation also gave him such a scholar.

Jiang Wan could not help feeling.

After about seven or eight days, one day Lanyi mysteriously found Jiang Wan and said, "madam, Qiao an said that she wants to see you." At the moment, Jiang Wan was painting fine brushwork in front of a bunch of camellia flowers in the garden. When she heard the words, she stopped her pen and looked at Lanyi in a puzzled way: "did he say what it was for?"

Lanyi shook his head: "he didn't want to say, just said he wanted to see you."

Jiang Wan made some mistakes when she heard this.

She knows Joanne, but he's a stranger anyway.

How can you want to see yourself for no reason?

Jiang Wan told Xiao Ruixuan about this doubt.

"See you?" Xiao Ruixuan also felt a little surprised, "is it that he has something to ask for?"

Besides, Xiao Ruixuan can't think of any reason why Qiao an wants to see Jiang Wan.

"Do I see it or not?" Jiang Wan was also a bit uncertain.

"In two days, it's time for me to rest." Xiao Ruixuan thought for a moment and said, "I'll go and have a look with you."

Thinking of Xiao Ruixuan's company, Jiang Wan thought it would be better.

On that day, Xiao Ruixuan changed her face, and Jiang Wan also put on a curtain and went out of the house. After meeting Qiao an, they chatted for a while, but suddenly fell into an awkward situation.

Because Qiao an invited them to come, Jiang Wan and Xiao Ruixuan just drank tea quietly, waiting for Qiao an to speak first.

Just now, the warm atmosphere suddenly cooled down, making Joanne a little uneasy.

He first looked at Xiayi and Lanyi behind Jiang Wan, and then stammered with Jiang Wan: "I don't know if madam can go ahead

Back to the people around you? "

Jiang Wan looked at him in surprise, but as soon as he thought of the secret he might have to tell himself, he asked Xiayi and Lanyi to step down first.

"Well, just say what you want." After Xiayi and Lanyi left, Jiang Wan said to Qiao an with a pleasant face.

As soon as her voice fell, a magpie flew down from the eaves and landed on the plum blossom branch outside their house.

Qiao an, who also saw this scene, seemed to be greatly inspired. He took a breath secretly, and then said firmly to Jiang Wan, "I want to ask my wife to give me miss Xiayi!"

Jiang Wan, who had heard this for the first time, blinked unexpectedly. He thought he had heard something wrong, and then turned to Xiao Ruixuan to check.

Xiao Ruixuan, who has been stroking the tea in the cup with the tea cover in front of the cup, stops his action and looks at Qiao an unexpectedly.

"Do you know what you just said?" Xiao Ruixuan put it down

He took the tea cup in his hand and looked coldly at Joan.

"I know!" Joanne lowered his head a little embarrassed before, but when he spoke, his heart was not afraid, but firmly raised his head, "I want to ask you two to give me miss Xiayi."

Unexpectedly, Xiao Ruixuan stood up and looked at Qiao an with arrogant eyes. He said, "we are very happy to receive you in the capital, but I don't think you have the idea of the people around us! We also said that you are not the same as before. I didn't expect that you were still the apprentice you met in Qiantang at that time! "“ No, it's not! " As soon as Qiao an heard this, he quickly explained, "I never dare to blaspheme Miss Xiayi. It's just because last time I left Quanzhou, I thought about it day and night and couldn't sleep!"

"I had warned myself that Miss Xiayi was not the one I could think of, but I felt that if I didn't fight for something in life, I would only leave my regret. But if you have won, even if you can't, you can be proud when you get old

"Well, at least I've worked hard for it..." Joanne said, with a touch of firmness in his eyes that he didn't realize.
