As soon as Hang Baiqiu walked away, Mrs. Hang asked the maid next to her: "Xiao Tao, how is this young man dressed and what does he look like?"
Xiao Tao said softly: "Back to the old lady, she looks like she is a scholar, her manners are very gentle, and her appearance can be considered handsome, but there is a wine gourd hanging on her waist, which seems a bit out of place."
Mrs. Hang laughed after hearing this: "The person who stayed overnight a few nights ago is him, right?"
Xiao Tao thought for a while and said: "It should be him. I remember the wine gourd..."
Just as she was talking, Hang Baiqiu came back. She took Xiaotao's position, supported her grandma and walked out of the stable, saying: "Grandma, it's cold outside, you should stay in the house..."
Mrs. Hang touched her granddaughter's hand and asked kindly: "Qiu'er, whose son is this young man named Chai Yan just now?"
When Chai Yan introduced himself just now, Mrs. Hang secretly remembered his name.
Hang Baiqiu felt embarrassed when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Grandma, what are you talking about? This man is just a clerk of Wude Department, and in terms of it, he is just a subordinate of Qiu'er. He is not from any family.
Young Master! Grandma, it’s not what you think..."
Mrs. Hang was blinded and bright-eyed. She immediately curled her lips, patted the back of her granddaughter's hand and said, "Do you think it's easy to trick grandma if she can't see you? If he was your subordinate, why did he call himself a junior just now instead of a humble subordinate?"
of?"
"He..." Hang Baiqiu was speechless for a moment, and then said: "He...he doesn't understand the rules the most, and talks nonsense all day long..."
Old Mrs. Hang smiled and said: "Since it's not what grandma thought, then why do you feel guilty and rush to drive people away? It's so rude..."
Hang Baiqiu immediately looked embarrassed. When Xiao Tao next to him saw the young lady's appearance, he immediately covered his mouth and snickered.
Hang Baiqiu glared hard at Xiao Tao and said frankly: "Grandma, since you don't believe what Qiu'er said, there's nothing Qiu'er can do! In short, I just took him out on business these days, not what you think, grandma.
son........"
After saying that, Hang Baiqiu pouted.
"On business?" Mrs. Hang asked, "Where are you on business?"
Hang Baiqiu said seriously: "Grandma, it's not like you don't know our rules. I can't talk nonsense about these things!"
"Okay, okay, grandma, just don't ask..."
Mrs. Hang knew her granddaughter's temper very well. When she saw this, she stopped asking questions and said patiently: "Qiu'er, you are already a grown-up. You fight and kill every day. Who wants to marry you?"
Hang Baiqiu said stubbornly: "Grandma, how many times have Qiu'er told you that Qiu'er doesn't plan to get married? Qiu'er will stay with grandma and take care of you all the time!"
Although Hang Mansion is large, it is sparsely populated. Currently, only Hang Baiqiu and Mrs. Hang are left. Hang Baiqiu's grandfather and parents are no longer alive.
"Silly girl, how can your daughter's family stay unmarried for the rest of her life?" Mrs. Hang said with deep emotion: "Qiu'er, grandma doesn't need you to go against your wishes and marry those dandy sons of high officials. If you have someone you like in your heart,
Now, just tell grandma the truth. As long as that person has good character and treats you well, grandma will not object..."
Hang Baiqiu's face burned like fire when he was told that. He lowered his head in shame and said, "Grandma, there's no one I like in Qiu'er. No..."
When she said this, a man's face appeared uncontrollably in Hang Baiqiu's mind. She was so frightened that she quickly shook her head to get rid of this terrible picture!
As for Chai Yan, he went straight to Wudesi after leaving Hang Baiqiu's house.
As soon as we returned to Ceku Courtyard, Jimo Qiao came to the door...
"Chai Yan, where have you been these past few days?"
Jimo Qiao was very angry. She came here three times in the past few days, and every time she saw the courtyard door was closed and locked.
Chai Yan couldn't elaborate, so he could only say: "I have something to do at the moment, and I know you have to come to me, so I rushed back as soon as I finished the work! By the way, you came to me in such a hurry, have you made arrangements to see your sister?
Already?"
Jimo Qiao shook his head and said: "No, dad has been staying at home recently, and my sister can't leave the house. I'm afraid I won't be able to create opportunities for you recently."
"Ah?" Chai Yan's shoulders slumped after hearing this, and his expression was very disappointed: "Jimo Qiao, you promised me this, you have to find a way!"
Jimo Qiao said anxiously: "Yes! I promised you, but...but my father won't go out, what can I do?"
Chai Yan glanced at Jimo Qiao, shook his head, turned around and walked to the dormitory at the back.
Jimo Qiao thought Chai Yan was angry, so he chased after him and said, "Hey, hey, why did you get angry so quickly? I didn't say I wouldn't help, so why not just wait a little longer? It's not like my dad won't go out in the future.
Already..."
Chai Yan turned around and said: "You think I am you, so easy to get angry!"
After saying that, Chai Yan walked into the dormitory, and then a voice came from the dormitory: "I am changing clothes, please don't come and peek!"
"Hey, who wants to peek at you?" Jimo Qiao replied angrily, turned around and sat down in the yard.
After a while, Chai Yan came out in clean clothes and said: "Hey, when will your father allow your sister to go out and walk around freely? It's not a problem to keep her under house arrest like this!"
"I don't know..." After Jimo Qiao shook his head, he suddenly thought of something and said immediately: "But I heard from my mother that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will hold a banquet in the mansion in a few days, and my parents will take me and
Let’s go to the banquet with my sister!”
"Going to a banquet? What banquet?" Chai Yan was surprised.
"I don't know, my mother didn't say anything," Jimo Qiao said.
Chai Yan asked again: "When?"
Jimo Qiao counted the days on his fingers and replied: "Seven days later!"
Seven days later...Chai Yan secretly wrote down the date.
"What are you thinking about?" Jimo Qiao glanced at Chai Yan twice and shouted: "Hey, aren't you making some crooked ideas?"
"No...what bad idea could I have?" Chai Yan immediately denied it.
But the more Chai Yan said this, the more Jimo Qiao didn't believe it, and hurriedly warned: "Chai Yan, please don't come and go. The Prince's Mansion is not a place that ordinary people can enter and exit. If you come and go, you will be arrested and beheaded."
!His Royal Highness is not as easy to talk to as you think..."
Chai Yan nodded secretly in his heart, he was right! The prince is indeed not very easy to talk to...
Chai Yan said with a normal expression: "What are you worrying about? I'm not stupid! I can't see your sister now, but that doesn't mean I won't be able to see you in the future. I won't break into the prince's mansion, but..."
Jimo Qiao was just about to let go when he heard Chai Yan say "but" and immediately became nervous: "But what?"
