This conversation lasted for nearly an hour. Chai Yan sat with his back straight and his back and buttocks began to feel sore, but Mrs. Jimo did not get up to move.
With a smile on his face, Chai Yan thought to himself, my mother-in-law is too sure-footed. She hasn't stood still since she came here. Isn't she tired?
At this time, Jimo Qiao suddenly stood up and said to his mother: "Mom, my waist and back hurt after sitting for so long. How about my daughter accompany you for a walk in the garden? You can also let my sister and brother-in-law talk about it.
Whisper..."
After saying "brother-in-law", Yuan Yuan's face immediately turned red with embarrassment.
Yuan Yuan glared at Jimo Qiao slightly angrily and said, "Qiaoer, what are you yelling at?"
But Jimo Qiao didn't think there was any problem and said: "Sister, did I call you wrong? He is not brother-in-law, who is brother-in-law?"
"You..." Yuanyuan couldn't answer the question immediately, and his face and neck became even redder.
Mrs. Jimo seemed not to have heard the conversation between the two sisters, and slowly stood up and said: "Qiaoer, go with me for a walk and let them talk about themselves."
Jimo Qiao was very well-behaved. He quickly got up and held his mother's arm, and the two of them walked into the garden.
Chai Yan and Yuan Yuan immediately stood up and saw each other off. After Jimo Qiao accompanied his mother out of the pavilion, he turned to them and made a playful face with a smile.
Yuanyuan suddenly felt his face heat up, and immediately glared at Jimo Qiao angrily, but Jimo Qiao smiled even happier when he saw it.
After Jimo Qiao walked far away with his mother, Chai Yan suddenly turned around and said, "鸱鸱鸱, you are so beautiful today!"
Yuan Yuan wore a beautiful dress today, and also put on some makeup, jewelry and earrings. Her style was very different from usual.
Yuanyuan felt happy when she heard this, but she still lowered her head in embarrassment and said softly: "It's all Qiao'er, she must have made me dress like this..."
"It's good. It makes you look like a lady." Chai Yan nodded.
Yuan then asked: "Then do you think it's better to dress like this now or like that in the past?"
Chai Yan did not hesitate and said with a smile: "It's all good! It's better to be away from home, but it's good to be at home in the capital."
"Oh, you don't want to offend anyone." Yuan said.
Chai Yan glanced at Jimo Qiao, took a step closer, and asked in a low voice: "Do you miss me during this time?"
Yuanyuan didn't expect Chai Yan to ask so directly, and immediately turned away shyly, looking a little embarrassed.
Chai Yan smiled and walked around to Yuan's side, sticking his head out and continuing: "Madam, my husband, I'm asking you a question, what are you hiding from?"
Yuan Yuan said with a warm face and heartbeat: "What are you talking about? We haven't gotten married yet..."
Chai Yan said: "What does it matter? Getting married is a matter of time. Yesterday when I met the emperor, the emperor said that it won't take long for us to get married. It's a sure thing!"
As soon as the owl heard this, his heartbeat sped up.
In fact, these words are not new, but after Yuan Yuan heard what Chai Yan said with his own ears, he still couldn't control his mood.
Chai Yan said softly: "Yuan, do you know? I feel like I have walked for a long time on this journey back. Although it is only a month, it feels like I have been walking for a year."
"What you said is not that exaggerated. You just made it up." Yuan said.
"Who made this up?" Chai Yan suddenly became serious and said very seriously: "I am telling the truth!"
With that said, Chai Yan was about to take Yuan's hand, but as soon as his fingers touched the back of Yuan's hand, Yuan was so frightened that he ran away as if he was electrocuted. He looked at his mother in a panic and said in a suppressed voice:
"What are you doing? My mother is still over there. What should I do if I see her?"
Chai Yan also raised his eyes and glanced at Mrs. Jimo in the distance. At this time, Jimo Qiao was walking with her in the garden, with her back to him.
So Chai Yan said: "Don't be afraid, she has her back to us and we can't see her."
"That's not okay. You have to behave yourself today, understand?" Yuan Yuan is still very cautious. It's okay to let you take advantage when no one is watching. Now in front of mother and Qiaoer, you don't even think about it.
think.
Chai Yan nodded and said: "I understand! You are afraid that I will leave a bad impression on your mother... Okay, okay, I'll be honest, let's treat each other with respect, okay?"
Yuan Yuan frowned slightly and said: "If you can't take advantage with your hands, you have to take it back with your mouth, right? You're a guy..."
The term "respect each other as a guest" is always used between husband and wife, so that's why Yuan Yuan said this.
"Hehehe..." Chai Yan laughed a few times and said, "Madam, it's too awkward to stand. Sit down first. Let's talk slowly..."
So, the two of them sat down again and started chatting one after another.
In the garden, Jimo Qiao took a leisurely walk holding his mother's arm.
While the two were chatting, they would cast their gaze into the pavilion. Most of the scenes they saw were Chai Yan talking incessantly, and Yuan Yuan listening patiently with a happy face. The atmosphere seemed very harmonious.
Jimo Qiao said with envy: "Mom, look at how well my sister and brother-in-law match..."
Mrs. Jimo nodded slowly and said with a lot of emotion in her heart: "Yes, Mom is also happy for your sister. Your sister has suffered a lot in the past eighteen years, and now she can meet a man who she likes and who also likes her.
, is the happiest thing in the world."
Jimo Qiao nodded in agreement and said with a pout, "Mom, you are the most open-minded, unlike dad, who is stubborn and prejudiced!"
"Qiaoer, you think so because you are still young. When you have a husband and children in the future, you will understand how your father feels now." Mrs. Jimo said.
When it came to getting married, Jimo Qiao became shy. He hugged his mother's arm tightly, put his head close to her and said, "Mom, my daughter doesn't want to get married. She just wants to stay by her mother's side."
After laughing, Mrs. Jimo said: "You said this, don't wait until one day, you and your mother will argue and insist on getting married!"
Jimo Qiao stretched out his neck and raised his chin, and said with great determination: "Humph, that day will never happen!"
Mrs. Jimo felt very interesting looking at Jimo Qiao's appearance, but she just smiled and shook her head and did not continue the topic.
After a while, Jimo Qiao suddenly straightened up and asked in a low voice: "By the way, Mom, why did dad resign from the official position? Didn't he do a good job?"
Mrs. Jimo said calmly: "Your father said that he is tired of being an official. Now he just wants to be an idler and live a leisurely life of planting flowers and raising birds at home and going out for fishing and hunting."
"Oh, that's it..." Jimo Qiao nodded in agreement and didn't ask any more questions.
Then, Mrs. Jimo stopped and said, "By the way, it's getting late. Would you like someone to go to the kitchen and ask to see how the food is being prepared?"
"Okay, mother." Jimo Qiao agreed readily, and then hurried away.
After Jimo Qiao walked away, Mrs. Jimo turned to look at the two people who were still chatting happily in the pavilion. After a long time, she sighed softly and showed a happy smile.
