Chai Yan said: "It's not true, it's just a cover-up."
Jimo Qiao was unwilling: "It's not even true. You are only a few years older than me, and you want to be my master?"
Chai Yan said: "Xiao Qiao, before we set off, our father told you to listen to me all the way. Why did you disobey me at the beginning?"
Jimo Qiao pursed his lips, turned his head and said, "Anyway, you can't let me call you master."
Chai Yan had no choice but to think about it and said: "Well, let's carry the gourd on your back and the three of us will call you master before we get to Jiezhou. Is that okay?"
"No! I'm a girl, how can I have the nerve to carry such a big gourd? It's so ugly." Jimo Qiao was reluctant.
Chai Yan was delighted and asked, "Didn't you like that gourd just now? Why do you think it's ugly now?"
Jimo Qiao explained: "I didn't say the gourd was ugly. What I said was that it would be ugly if I carried the gourd on my back."
Chai Yan frowned and thought for a while, then said: "Since the gourd is not ugly, then you are ugly?"
"You are ugly!" Jimo Qiao said immediately.
Immediately afterwards, Jimo Qiao explained again: "I mean that I don't match that gourd, and they don't look good together. Do you understand what I mean?"
Chai Yan nodded and said with a smile: "I understand, but this gourd is prepared for masters. Either you carry it and I call you master, or I carry it and you call me master. Choose one."
Jimo Qiao said loudly: "You carry the gourd, but I won't shout, Master."
"Hey! You little girl..." Chai Yan was speechless.
Jimo Qiao thought for a while and said, "It's okay to call you senior brother, but there's no way to call you master anyway."
Chai Yan looked at Jimo Qiao, nodded and said, "I'm afraid of you, so let's just be my senior brother."
Jimo Qiao's face softened a little after hearing this, and he turned around and said, "I'm hungry, let's find a place to eat."
With that said, Jimo Qiao got on the carriage and got into the carriage.
Chai Yan then turned to greet Cheng Jiu and Yu Tie to set off.
When Cheng Jiu passed by Chai Yan, he suddenly turned around and asked softly: "Sir, what about me? Should I also call you senior brother?"
Chai Yan glared and said, "Who said that? Call me Master!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chai Yan wanted to get on the carriage.
Cheng Jiu grabbed Chai Yan and whispered: "No, sir, listen to me..."
Chai Yan could only look at Cheng Jiu and wait for him to continue.
"Sir, don't get me wrong. I have no objection to calling you master, but the problem is that Miss Qiao calls you senior brother. So after all, don't I have to call her uncle?" Cheng Jiu whispered.
Cheng Jiu felt that calling this little girl Jimo Qiao his uncle would be a big disadvantage.
Chai Yan understood what Cheng Jiu meant and said, "You're not the only one calling me that, not Yu Tie..."
At this point, Chai Yan suddenly stopped because he suddenly remembered that Yu Tie couldn't call anyone.
Cheng Jiu took the opportunity to say: "Sir, if we are not on this journey to Jiezhou, I'd better call you Senior Brother first. I'm so much older than Miss Qiao, so let me call her Senior Uncle. I really...
.It’s very awkward, sir......"
Chai Yan was silent for a moment, then nodded and said with a smile: "Isn't it just a title? There are so many things!"
"Thank you so much... ah no, thank you senior brother!" Cheng Jiu said.
"Let's go!" Chai Yan waved his hand with a smile and immediately boarded the carriage.
After a while, the carriage left the woods and drove onto the official road again.
............
In the driving car, Chai Yan told Jimo Qiao many details that needed to be paid attention to along the way, and patiently taught her the "Tai Chi Yin and Yang Seal" gestures.
Jimo Qiao was quite serious at first, but then she lost her temper after talking for a long time. She either asked if the place to eat was there or where was the place to spend the night.
Chai Yan saw that she was really hungry, so he took out some dry food from his bag, handed it over and said, "If you're hungry, eat something first. I'm not sure how long it will be before I see a restaurant for eating."
Jimo Qiao didn't mind it at all, he took the dry food and ate it with big mouthfuls.
Chai Yan reminded: "Can you eat slowly? No one will fight with you. Don't choke to death before you get to Jiezhou!"
"Bah, bah, bah, can you say something nice? Can you stop making me angry all the time?" Jimo Qiao rolled his eyes at Chai Yan.
Chai Yan sighed secretly and said: "Xiao Qiao, do you know? Your sister eats much more gracefully than you. Can't you imitate her? Chew carefully and swallow slowly..."
"Why do you care so much? I didn't hinder you." Jimo Qiao said disdainfully.
Chai Yan immediately sat up straighter and said righteously: "Why is it not in the way? There is an obstacle!"
Jimo Qiao stopped immediately, raised his head and asked: "That's strange, then I want to hear, how did I hinder you?"
Chai Yan straightened his gaze and posture, and said matter-of-factly: "Hey, look, you and your sister look the same. If you always eat ravenously, I will easily compare you to your sister."
It's confusing, let's put it this way... Anyway, you look very much like your sister when you're not talking, so you'd better stop eating like this, it will mess up her beautiful image in my mind."
Jimo Qiao suddenly became a little unhappy, stopped eating, and said in a low voice: "After talking for a long time, you just want to say that I am not as good as my sister. Just say it straight away, no need to beat around the bush."
"No, that's not what I meant. I just...just made a small suggestion. Why are you angry? Girls should be more polite, don't you think so?" Chai Yan said with a smile.
.
Jimo Qiao ignored Chai Yan and stopped talking, but then his eating movements did improve significantly and slowed down significantly.
Chai Yan was afraid that he would make too many mistakes, so he simply kept quiet, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Unexpectedly, not long after he closed his eyes, Chai Yan noticed someone touching his toes.
When he opened his eyes, he saw Jimo Qiao staring at him with a frown on his face.
"What's wrong?" Chai Yan asked.
Jimo Qiao said unhappily: "I've already chewed my food carefully, what else do you want?"
Chai Yan felt that he had been wronged and asked with a confused expression: "I...what happened to me? I didn't do anything..."
"Then why are you closing your eyes? Is the way I eat so annoying to you?" Jimo Qiao said angrily.
As soon as these words came out, Chai Yan rolled his eyes and was quite speechless.
"Sister-in-law, since when have I ever thought you were an eyesore? You are the eldest daughter of Jimo who is loved by everyone. Even if you give me 10,000 pieces of courage, I won't dare to dislike you!"
At this time, Chai Yan was almost ready to bow.
Jimo Qiao was still a little angry at first, but Chai Yan's helpless look instantly amused her.
Seeing Chai Yan say this, Jimo Qiao suddenly became less angry. She suppressed her laughter, took a hard bite of food, and said seriously: "Chat with me, don't pretend to be dead."
Chai Yan didn't want to cause her trouble, so he nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, I listen to you, my aunt..."
"That's pretty much it!" Jimo Qiao nodded proudly, and then said: "Okay, let's get started..."
Chai Yan felt helpless and asked: "Sister-in-law, what do you want to talk about?"
Jimo Qiao thought for a while and said: "How about you tell me a story, but you are not allowed to talk nonsense to me, you must be serious!"
"Okay, okay, I'll tell you seriously, okay, let me think about it..." Chai Yan began to think.
Outside the car curtain, on the driver's seat.
At this time, Cheng Jiu and Yu Tie were trying hard to suppress their laughter. After all, they were only separated by a curtain. They couldn't help but hear the conversation in the car just now.
Cheng Jiu winked at Yu Tie Da and gestured with his movements, probably saying: Look, your Excellency must have suffered a lot along the way!
Yu Tie understood it at a glance, and immediately nodded vigorously, and the smile at the corner of his mouth became even wider.
