Near noon, Jimo Mansion's luxury carriage stopped at the Huibin building near Wudesi.
Then, Chai Yan and Jimo Qiao entered the Huibin Building one after another.
As soon as he sat down at a table on the second floor, Jimo Qiao said with relief: "It took me a whole morning to finally buy all the things you need for winter. Oops, I'm exhausted...
....”
Chai Yan said gratefully: "If Miss Qiao helps me more, I won't suffer from the cold... To express my gratitude, I will treat you to this meal!"
In such a cold weather, if it weren't for Jimo Qiao's carriage, Chai Yan's legs would have been sore by now!
"Are you inviting? Well, you said it, I didn't take the opportunity to blackmail you!" When Jimo Qiao heard that Chai Yan said he wanted to treat, he immediately grabbed the conversation.
Although the Jimo family is not short of money, Jimoshu has a fixed limit on the amount of money his daughter can spend. It is not that Jimoshu gives his daughter little pocket money, but Jimoqiao also has many expenses. A meal at the Huibin House,
Naturally, she saves money whenever she can.
Chai Yan immediately complimented: "Well, I volunteered! It's a great honor to be able to treat Miss Qiao to dinner! Hahaha..."
"Flatterer..." Jimo Qiao immediately laughed and scolded, with a look of enjoyment on his face.
While they were joking, the waiter from the Huibin Building had already come over. Seeing that both of them were wearing the official uniforms of the Wude Department, they immediately became more careful with their words.
After ordering the food, as soon as the waiter walked away, Jimo Qiao asked: "By the way, I heard from my sister that you caught the murderer of the Huzhou House massacre?"
"Ah, yes..." Chai Yan said in surprise: "Did your sister also tell you about this?"
Jimo Qiao raised his lips slightly and said, "Didn't you say that the murderer was not in Huzhou? As soon as Gu Ling and I left, you caught the murderer. Hey, I don't understand. You were afraid that we would divide you.
What about the silver reward?"
Chai Yan spread his hands and said with a helpless expression: "Miss Qiao, I didn't know it was such a coincidence. The murderer came back at that time. Your sister and I almost hired a car to leave that day, but...
"
"Okay! Needless to say..." Jimo Qiao interrupted him and said: "My sister has already said this, and I am not here to accuse you today...
What I want to say is that I didn’t really believe it before, but now I probably believe it, you still have some real ability!”
"Chai Yan was flattered by Miss Qiao's compliment!" Chai Yan looked quite exaggerated.
At this time, the waiter brought the dishes to the table.
Jimo Qiao asked while eating: "Chai Yan, I've always wanted to ask you, did Uncle Gu recommend you to come to Wudesi?"
In private, Jimo Qiao always calls Gu Zhengbang Uncle Gu.
"Yes..." Chai Yan nodded, and then talked about Gu Zhengbang leaving him a letter of recommendation.
Jimo Qiao suddenly said: "No wonder Gu Ling didn't know about this. It turned out to be a letter secretly left by Uncle Gu for you."
Chai Yan nodded again.
Jimo Qiao suddenly got excited and came closer and said: "Hey, Chai Yan, I have nothing to do anyway. Tell me another story. The last episode of "The Swordsman" sounded good, but I wasn't very satisfied with the ending. You
Can you tell me another story with a happy ending..."
"Ah?" Chai Yan suddenly felt dizzy.
"Ah, what, I know you have other stories, hurry up, hurry up..." Jimo Qiao stared at Chai Yan with determination.
Chai Yan shook his head: "It's gone, it's gone, I really have nothing to say, it's really gone..."
Chai Yanxin said that this sister-in-law-to-be is addicted to listening to stories. Either she won't tell them, or she will spend two or three hours telling them, and her mouth will be worn out!
"Chai Yan, are you going to tell me?" Jimo Qiao frowned.
"What are you talking about? I have nothing to say." Chai Yan still pretended to be stupid.
Jimo Qiao was a little angry and threatened: "If you don't tell me, I will ask Uncle Cheng to take all the things in the car home! If you want to use them, you can buy new ones yourself!"
Chai Yan still shook his head and said harshly: "Miss Qiao, I really have no story to tell. Even if you take your things home, I have no story to tell you!"
Chai Yan is determined. Even if he makes another trip to buy quilts, I won't tell you a story. I don't want to bear that sin.
"You..." Jimo Qiao really couldn't do anything against Chai Yan for a moment, after all, the mouth was on his head.
"Come on, come on, hurry up and eat. The weather is so cold, it gets cold so fast!" As he spoke, Chai Yan had a faint smile of victory on his face.
Unexpectedly, Jimo Qiao suddenly raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, then tilted his head slightly and said slyly: "Chai Yan, if you don't tell me, I will tell daddy later that you are teasing me!"
As soon as these words came out, Chai Yan almost choked to death on the food in his mouth.
Chai Yan quickly put down his chopsticks and finally stopped coughing. He took a sip of tea and whispered: "Miss Qiao, when did I tease you? Don't frame a good person..."
Jimo Qiao said confidently: "False against a good person? You have forgotten what you told me, Che Zhen..."
"Stop it!" Chai Yan immediately raised his hand to stop it, and then cried in his heart: "Miss Qiao, let me tell you, can't I say it?"
"That's pretty much it!" Jimo Qiao immediately smiled proudly.
You will not live if you do your own evil!
Chai Yan smiled bitterly and said: "Then I will tell you another story from "The Eight Parts of the Dragon"..."
Except for Mr. Jin Yong's books, there really aren't many books that Chai Yan can speak fluently and freely.
"Wait a minute, is the ending of the story good?" Jimo Qiao was most concerned about this.
Chai Yan thought for a while and said: "Well...it's pretty good..."
"Okay, that's it!" Jimo Qiao decided and decided to listen to "The Eight Parts of the Dragon".
As soon as they told the story, the two of them lost track of time. The food was cold, and Uncle Cheng, who had been waiting for the lady for a long time, ran upstairs to find someone.
Chai Yan stopped temporarily, and after paying the bill, he accompanied Jimo Qiao down to the reception building.
Soon after, the carriage stopped outside the side entrance of Wudes.
Chai Yan was worried that he would not be able to carry away a lot of things in one go, but when he turned around, he found that Jimo Qiao had helped him get the rest, including a pair of heavy cotton boots.
Uncle Cheng was shocked. How could the dignified eldest daughter of the Jimo family carry shoes for a small official?
So Uncle Cheng hurried over and prepared to take the things from the lady's hands: "Miss, let me do it. This is too..."
"No, Uncle Cheng, you can go back and have a rest. I'll be staying at Wudesi in the afternoon, so there's no need for a car! Why are you standing there, let's go..."
After speaking to Uncle Cheng, Jimo Qiao urged Chai Yan into Wudesi.
Chai Yan laughed immediately. How could he not guess what Jimo Qiao was thinking...
Uncle Cheng froze on the spot in astonishment, looking at his young lady's back as she walked away, shaking his head and thinking to himself, where does this kid come from?
