While Jingheng asked the doorman to go in and call Sanbao, Qin Xiaoxiao quickly coaxed his father: "Dad, Brother Li hasn't seen Sanbao for a long time, so I took this opportunity to come over and see him. I really have no other intention. You

Don’t be angry, okay?”

Qin Shan glared at her and said in a rough voice: "No matter whether this kid has other intentions or not, he sneaked into our carriage and stayed with a big girl like you. This is what a serious person would do.

Son?"

Qin Xiaoxiao screamed in her heart that it was going to be bad, and couldn't help but defend Jingheng: "Dad, Brother Li is not who you said. Just look at him and see that he doesn't have any of the habits of a playboy. He rode in the same carriage with me.

It was also because we were so familiar that he didn’t think too much about it.”

"Okay, okay, don't speak for him. I already know what kind of person he is." Qin Shan waved his hands a little irritably, not wanting to continue arguing with his daughter.

He knew that Jingheng could not do anything to his daughter under his nose, and normally his reaction would not be so big. But last night, he was frightened by his own speculation, which made him feel strongly uneasy, so when he saw

Jing Heng only became angry when he got off the carriage.

When Qin Xiaoxiao saw this, she didn't dare to say anything anymore. She stared at the door of the academy, hoping that Sanbao would come out quickly.

As she wished, Sanbao came out after a while. When he saw his uncle and Xiaoxiao, who came to visit her again, the tiredness on his face disappeared and he walked over quickly: "Uncle, Xiaoxiao."

When he saw Jing Heng walking up to him, he was slightly surprised and greeted him: "Mr. Jing, you are here too."

Jing Heng nodded in response and his eyes stayed on him for a moment.

The two hadn't seen each other for half a year, but when they met, he realized that Sanbao had grown a lot taller, and his appearance gradually lost his childlike appearance. Standing next to Xiaoxiao, he looked more like his elder brother.

Thinking that he and Xiaoxiao would get married in the future and Sanbao would be his brother-in-law, he gave Sanbao a rare kind smile.

Sanbao was greatly frightened and quickly smiled back, suspecting that Mr. Jing, whose eyes were born with eyes on the top of his head, had changed his gender.

In the past, as long as Xiaoxiao was around, he could not see anyone else. But when he was a child, he always pestered Xiaoxiao, and Xiaoxiao often quarreled with him for himself. When Xiaoxiao was no longer around, he was often harassed.

He is fierce.

Qin Xiaoxiao didn't know the various thoughts that popped up in the minds of these two people in the blink of an eye. She took out a large package from the carriage and handed it to Sanbao? She carefully warned: "Grandma and the others made this for you.

Don't be reluctant to wear cotton-padded clothes and shoes. Don't wear old clothes from previous years? They can't keep up with your length."

Sanbao took the baggage, feeling warm in his heart. He asked one more question: "Last year I heard that you wanted to learn to make clothes. I wonder if these clothes, shoes and socks have your skills."

Jingheng didn’t know about this yet? His eyes towards Sanbao became unfriendly: He hadn’t gotten any needlework from Xiaoxiao? He hadn’t even seen him!

"This...I haven't learned this yet? I'll definitely do it for you after I learn it!" Qin Xiaoxiao looked embarrassed and couldn't wait to bring this topic to an end.

"Hahahaha, you kid, there's nothing you can't do!" Qin Shan laughed, exposing the embarrassing things his daughter had done: "A few days ago, your grandfather's sleeves were torn, and she wanted to express her filial piety to your grandfather.

I sewed it for your grandpa, but the whole sleeve was sewn into a ball in a few strokes. Is she afraid that we would laugh at us? She used scissors to cut it open and sewed it again, but let her cut it with scissors? Your grandpa’s whole sleeve was gone!"

"Pfft~" Jing Heng and San Bao both burst into laughter. You can imagine Qin Xiaoxiao staring at the broken clothes with great pain.

"Dad, have you ever exposed your daughter's shortcomings like this?" Qin Xiaoxiao was so irritated by the teasing looks from Jingheng and Sanbao that she stomped her feet in embarrassment.

"It's okay, it's okay. My daughter is so smart, she will learn to sew sleeves sooner or later." Qin Shan patted her head and smiled again: "It doesn't matter if she can't learn it. Your grandma and your mother can't make clothes in the future.

Let’s just pay someone else to do it.”

Qin Xiaoxiao became more and more depressed and didn't want to talk to her father who kept laughing at her.

Before learning to make clothes, she never thought that it looked easy but was difficult to make. She was obviously very serious, but the things she made were just unsightly, and she didn't know why it was like this.

Seeing that his daughter was really angry, Qin Shan did not dare to tease her anymore. He took out a money bag from his pocket and handed it to Sanbao: "Your father asked me to give this to you. You can use it first. Don't treat yourself badly."

Sanbao refused and said, "There is still a lot of money left from Xiaoxiao last time. It will be enough until the end of the year. Uncle, please don't give me any more."

"You kid, why are you so polite to your own father? He is willing to give it to you, so feel free to accept it boldly."

Qin Shanhu put the money bag into Sanbao's hand with a strong face, then patted his shoulder and encouraged him: "Study hard, your eldest brother is not doing his job properly, and your second brother has a stupid head, so your parents are counting on you."

Sanbao held the money bag tightly and nodded gently: "Uncle, I understand."

His parents don't like him, they never have any expectations for him, and they don't care whether he can bring glory to his ancestors. His annual expenses for repairs, food, clothing, housing and transportation are either given by his eldest brother, his second brother, or by his grandfather, uncle, and third uncle. They almost

If you don't know how to ask, it's impossible for you to take the initiative to give money.

Except for Xiaoxiao, every time other people gave him money, they would say it was from them. Firstly, they did not want him to be burdened, and secondly, they wanted to ease the relationship between father, son and mother. He had not exposed it in these years because he did not want them to worry and embarrass him.

"It's getting late, it's time for us to leave. You have to take care of yourself, don't waste your time studying, and whenever you are free, go home and stay for a few days, so that your grandparents will not always think about you." Qin Shan reminded Sanbao.

, waving his hand to let him in.

Sanbao responded with a smile, hugged the big package and said goodbye to Qin Xiaoxiao and Jingheng.

Seeing him go in, Qin Shan urged Qin Xiaoxiao to get on the carriage. Qin Xiaoxiao glanced at Jing Heng, lifted up her skirt and got up obediently.

Jing Heng was not polite and wanted to follow her when she sat down, but Qin Shan grabbed her.

Qin Shan patted the driver's seat which was not very spacious, waved his riding whip and said with a smile: "Mr. Jing, it's very boring for me to drive alone. I feel sorry for you to sit here and chat with me."

Jing Heng's handsome face clearly showed his displeasure. But today is different from the past. Who makes him think about being someone's son-in-law? No matter how unhappy he is, he can only endure it and sit stiffly in a row with Qin Shan.

Qin Xiaoxiao saw his aggrieved expression through the crack in the door, and couldn't help laughing out loud for a moment. She hurriedly covered her mouth, but unfortunately it was too late, and the laughter passed through the thin door panel and reached Jing Heng's ears.

inside.

This heartless look made Jingheng very upset, but he couldn't do anything to her. He could only pretend not to hear, thinking that sooner or later he would make up for it and see if she dared to laugh at him.

Qin Shan didn't notice his daughter's laughter. Seeing that Jing Heng's face was not good-looking, he felt very good and started chatting with him seriously: "Master Jing is now nineteen. I wonder when I can hear your birthday."

Good news about marriage.”

In the carriage, Qin Xiaoxiao pricked up his ears unconsciously, wanting to hear what Brother Li had to say, but worried that his father would notice if he spilled the beans.

Jing Heng moved his fingers on his lap, and for the first time he felt nervous in front of Qin Shan: "Come on, Uncle Qin will hear you soon."

Qin Shan seemed to be interested and laughed loudly and said, "It seems Mr. Jing has found someone he likes. Congratulations."

As he spoke, he sighed quietly, and his tone became dull: "It's easier to get married to an Erlang like Mr. Jing. If you delay for a few years, you won't be afraid of missing out on the marriage event. You can't do it with a smile. She is a girl, and her flowering period is only two or three years old."

Year, her aunt and I must hurry up and finalize her marriage as soon as possible, so that your aunt and I can feel at ease."

Jing Heng didn't care if he was lying, and said sincerely: "Uncle Qin, I think so too."

Qin Shan choked, not sure whether he was talking about wanting to get married as soon as possible, or hoping that they could get married to his daughter as soon as possible, or even another possibility that he couldn't accept: "Yeah, yes, you can get married soon."

, Her Royal Highness the Princess can rest assured as soon as possible."

Jing Heng nodded: "Yes, my mother mentioned it a long time ago. It's just that I didn't see my intentions clearly at that time and almost missed my God-given fate. Fortunately, it was still too late."

Qin Xiaoxiao blushed. It turns out that Her Royal Highness the Princess has already seen Brother Li's thoughts?

In contrast, the ominous premonition in the heart of Qin Shan, the old father, became stronger and stronger, so strong that he did not want to continue this topic. But he wanted to find out as if he was masochistic, so he held back his breath and continued: "With your

If you are from a well-matched family, you will be able to save a lot of trouble."

Jing Heng said calmly: "It is important to be of the right family, but the princess's house does not need to rely on in-laws to raise its family status, and I do not need support from my in-laws' family. Family background is not important."

This may seem arrogant to a person, but it became a fact for him. Looking at the entire Tianhe Dynasty, except for Emperor Yuanhe and the Empress Dowager, no one has a higher status than the Princess Protector, even the current crown prince.

The grade is only comparable to it.

"Say, that makes sense." Qin Shan had nothing to say. It was impossible for him to ask him so loudly whose girl he wanted to marry. It was difficult for him to ask, let alone he didn't dare to ask.

Seeing this, Jing Heng breathed a sigh of relief and quietly glanced into the carriage, although he couldn't see anything.

Qin Xiaoxiao met his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that Brother Li would ignore him and directly tell her father about the marriage proposal in a month. She was sure that her father would put Brother Li on the street without saying anything.

Kick off the carriage.

The atmosphere suddenly fell silent. The three of them were thinking about their own things and no one spoke. When the carriage arrived at the inn where the father and daughter stayed, Jing Heng took the initiative to say without Qin Shan saying anything: "It's getting late, so I won't go in and disturb you."

I'll come back tomorrow to take you out of the city."

The father and daughter planned to visit Qin Shumo at Li's house early tomorrow morning and leave after giving him the things they brought. They did not plan to stay at Li's house for a long time so that they could return to Qingshan Village tomorrow evening.

"No, Brother Li. You have to be on duty at the household department tomorrow, so you don't need to come and see us off." Qin Xiaoxiao refused. From an angle that Qin Shan couldn't see, she winked at Jingheng and signaled him not to go too far.

Jing Heng didn't want her to be worried, so he had to agree: "I'll ask the cook to make some food tonight, and I'll have the stone delivered tomorrow morning, and you and Uncle Qin can take it with you to eat on the road."

This was not the first time. Qin Xiaoxiao was not polite to him and said with a smile: "I want to eat the almond paste and Baifu dumplings made by Aunt Yang."

As soon as he saw her greedy look, Jing Heng couldn't help but want to pinch her face. But it was nothing to do such an action before, but now it seemed frivolous. He put his hands into fists and put them to his lips and coughed, with a clear tone.

With a hint of pampering: "Okay."

Qin Xiaoxiao was satisfied. When his father looked grim, he pushed him: "You should leave quickly. If you are late, you won't be able to catch up with dinner."

"Well, let's go." Jing Heng felt reluctant to leave. He had just received her response and wished he could stay together all the time. However, reality did not allow it, so he could only separate from her temporarily.

"Okay, stop looking." Seeing his daughter looking at the back of the brat, Qin Shan pulled her into the inn with a tigerish face: "When his wife comes through, I don't want to see you two interacting. There will be no need for her in the future.

Don’t go to him for trouble."

Qin Xiaoxiao felt guilty and did not dare to say no: "Dad, I understand."

Qin Shan said happily: "It's good to know. You may not get used to it at first, but over time you will realize that you can still live without him."

Qin Xiaoxiao continued to nod: "Yeah, dad is right, I listen to dad."

Qin Shan touched his daughter's head and felt satisfied.

Early the next morning, the father and daughter just went downstairs and saw Shi Shi waiting in the lobby. He was carrying a three-tiered food box, which was mostly filled with the almond paste and Baifu dumplings that Qin Xiaoxiao wanted.

Both of these are sweets, so I put in several sour, salty and spicy snacks to prevent her from getting tired of them. The food box was so full that I was afraid that she would not be able to finish it all the way from the capital to her home.
