"Speak quickly!"

The old man urged her, as if he wouldn't give up until she got an answer.

Xuan Ming's expression was very difficult: "This, this... I will discuss it with my mother in detail tonight."

"Why? Tell me now!" The old lady held Xie Jiajia's hand with one hand and grabbed Xuan Ming's sleeve with the other, "Are you dissatisfied?"

"Jiajia likes you very much, and I also like her very much. I think she is the most suitable wife for you."

"Obviously, you can't throw away the girl who liked you before because you are rich and dislike the poor. You can't do this. Mother won't allow it."

"..." Xuan Ming has two heads.

What is this all about? !

When did Miss Xie San like him?
Why does he dislike the poor and love the rich?

My mother is getting more and more confused now, and she talks incoherently.

He could still coax him patiently for a while about other things, but this matter... the person involved was right there, so how could Xuan Ming open his eyes and tell lies?
But he knew his mother's temperament very well. If he didn't go along with her coaxing, he would probably keep holding on to this matter.

Xuan Ming glanced at Xie Jiajia quickly, with a bit of embarrassment in his eyes.

Xie Jiajia smiled.

The old lady who could make her happy all afternoon with her eloquent tongue could not say a word now, and she insisted on seeing how he would solve the problem.

"Obviously, you are talking!"

The old lady was urging again.

Xuan Ming coughed dryly and tried to help her away, but she held Xie Jiajia still and squeezed their hands together.

Xuan Ming: "Mother..."

He now even doubted whether Xie Jiajia had said something nonsense to her mother in the afternoon, which made her behave like this.

You can't blame him for being suspicious.

This woman Xie Jiajia is very different from ordinary ladies.

Despite her usual smile, she would occasionally do outrageous things, such as her mind-numbing story books, and the last time the two of them ended up in the wilderness together.

Her groping hands and darting eyes!
"Mingming, why don't you agree!"

When an old woman is sick, she is like a child. When she wants candy, she must be given candy, otherwise she will become anxious, which will be bad.

When Xie Jiajia saw this situation, she knew that she could no longer watch the excitement, and quickly smiled and comforted: "It's not that he doesn't agree, he's just shy."

"is it?"

The old lady squinted her eyes and looked at Xuan Ming.

Xuan Ming hesitated to speak, glanced at Xie Jiajia quickly, and said vaguely "Hmm".

Xie Jiajia continued to lie with open eyes: "Obviously he has a deep love for me and loves me like a treasure. He wants to marry me home early. How could he not agree? It's just that there are so many people now, and he is embarrassed."

"Don't rush him, let's go to the front to eat."

"Oh, oh, that's good." The old lady nodded, let go of Xuan Ming's hand, and followed Xie Jiajia forward, "Then when will you get married? When will you have children? Do you plan to have a boy or a girl?"

Xuan Ming watched Xie Jiajia and his mother's backs go away, and vaguely heard Xie Jiajia's precise answers.

"It will take a while. As for the child, it's hard to say. It depends on fate."

The veins on Xuanming's forehead bulged and jumped.

He was so arrogant and said everything!
But... my mother was really made happy by this nonsense, and walked away with a smile.

Xuan Ming took a deep breath, turned around, and saw that all the servants in the yard had complicated expressions and were looking around.

Xuan Ming said coldly: "Miss Xie San is trying to make the old lady happy. You should all keep your mouths shut and don't talk nonsense outside and tarnish other people's honors."

The servants quickly said "yes".

In the past, Xuanming would spend a long time with his mother when he returned home every day.

Today, with Xie Jiajia, there is no need for him.

Xie Jiajia ate with the old lady and then took care of the old lady to sleep.The old lady went out today, and after a lot of hard work in the afternoon, she was naturally tired. She fell asleep shortly after lying down.

When Xie Jiajia came out of the old lady's room, she twisted her neck and moved her arms in an unsightly manner.

She was very tired this afternoon.

"Thank you."

In the darkness of the courtyard, a tall figure stood there, and suddenly made a sound that startled Xie Jiajia.

Xie Jiajia patted her chest and whispered: "Can't you stand in a place with a little light and talk? Do you know that if you scare someone, you will scare them to death? Fortunately, my neck is strong, otherwise it would be twisted if I was scared by you like this. what to do?"

Xuan Ming: "..."

He came out of the darkness and stopped in the courtyard.

The lanterns were swinging lightly in the corridor, and the dim light shone on Xuan Ming's face, making it even more clear-cut, as sharp and angular as if carved with a knife or an axe.

"My mother is sick, so she sometimes says some incomprehensible things." Xuan Ming said in a nonchalant way: "This afternoon... don't mind what my mother said."

"What words?"

Xie Jiajia raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "The old lady said a lot this afternoon, I don't even know what part you are talking about."

Xuan Ming knew just by looking at her eyes that Xie Jiajia clearly knew it, but she just pretended not to know how to tease him.

He skipped it and pretended not to hear what Xie Jiajia said, "I'm very grateful that you stayed with your mother today. It's getting late. I'll send someone to take you home."

"Do you just thank others with your mouth?" Xie Jiajia said with a smile, "Why don't you give me some real thank you gifts or something?"

Xuan Ming paused and said, "I'll prepare a gift and send it over tomorrow."

"I don't want gifts."

"...then do you want me to help you with something?"

Xuan Ming is a very direct person. This is what he understood from the literal meaning, so he asked about it.

When I think about it, Xie Jiajia is not a very loving and kind-hearted girl... It's not that she is not loving or kind, but she is not like a fairy or saint who does good deeds without asking for anything in return.

Thinking of this, Xuan Ming felt much less cramped.

He still likes to come and go, and doesn't like to owe others, "Just tell me, if I can do it, I won't have any problems."

"You're quite direct."

Xie Jiajia took two steps closer with a smile.

Xuan Ming frowned slightly and subconsciously took two steps back.

Xie Jiajia was silent for a moment, "Why are you hiding? Will I eat you?"

Xuan Ming coughed and turned away and said, "Speak right there, I can hear you."

"..."

Xie Jiajia smiled angrily, "Okay, I don't lack anything, but my inspiration is not very good recently."

"Want to ask me about military matters?"

"Not this time." Xie Jiajia said, "I have to draw a sketch recently and there is no reference."

Xuan Ming frowned again, thought for a moment and said, "So what you're saying is that you want to draw something and you want me to help you find a reference?"

"That's what I mean." Xie Jiajia subconsciously raised her feet to take two steps closer.

This distance is so far.

And because the light was dim, I couldn't see Xuan Ming's eyes as he spoke.

This way you can't figure out what he's thinking.

It’s also hard to choose the right wording.

But just as he lifted his feet, he remembered the way Xuan Ming subconsciously took two steps back, and Xie Jiajia dropped her heels again, "But I don't want you to find a reference for me, I want you to be my reference." (End of Chapter)
