When Jiang Weinan was about to reach the door, he stopped, took a deep breath, and walked to the door.
Seeing Xie Jiaojiao sitting on the doorstep of his house, thinking about something, she was dressed differently today than in the past. She was not like the usual village girl dress. She was wearing a pink dress today. She usually wore coarse linen clothes. The clothes were all dark, and Jiang Weinan coughed lightly.
Xie Jiaojiao immediately turned around and stood up, looking at him: "You're here."
Jiang Weinan saw that she had only changed her clothes today, but she looked better than before. However, maybe because of working all the year round, her skin was not as fair as those of young ladies from wealthy families, but it was not bad.
"You're looking for me?"
Xie Jiaojiao nodded: "I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Jiang Weinan was a little embarrassed.
Xie Jiaojiao was fine.
He walked up to him and asked, "Are you home alone today?"
"There is no one else in this house!"
Xie Jiaojiao nodded. She just saw someone coming out of the house and asked about it. It seemed that only Jiang Weinan lived in the Jiang family house.
"Are you free today?" Xie Jiaojiao looked at Jiang Weinan and asked.
When she asked, Jiang Weinan flicked back a piece of hair on his forehead: "I am very busy every day..."
But before he finished speaking, Xie Jiaojiao said: "Since you are busy, I will leave first."
Xie Jiaojiao turned around and left.
Jiang Weinan hurriedly pulled her shoulders: "I have free time today! I have free time!"
"Aren't you busy every day?"
Jiang Weinan wished he could slap himself twice.
"I think you are a bit stubborn!" Xie Jiaojiao looked at him with her arms folded.
Jiang Weinan turned away: "Then what do you want from me?"
Xie Jiaojiao took his arm.
"Just come with me!"
Jiang Weinan was pulled to the door of Qingfeng Tower by Xie Jiaojiao.
Jiang Weinan frowned: "Why did you bring me here?"
Xie Jiaojiao raised her feet and entered.
Jiang Weinan followed immediately. When he saw Shopkeeper Chen, he winked at Shopkeeper Chen.
Shopkeeper Chen didn't understand what he meant.
But what surprised him even more was how come the young master was in town at this time!
"Thank you, Miss Jiang!"
Xie Jiaojiao smiled and cupped her hands to Shopkeeper Chen: "Shopkeeper Chen, can I lend you the kitchen?"
Shopkeeper Chen immediately made a gesture of invitation.
Xie Jiaojiao turned back to Jiang Weinan and said, "Why don't you go upstairs and find a private room?"
Jiang Weinan looked at her: "You want to treat me to dinner?"
Xie Jiaojiao nodded.
Then went to the kitchen.
Jiang Weinan also wanted to follow, but Xie Jiaojiao waved her hand towards him: "Go upstairs, it'll be fine in a minute!"
Jiang Weinan reluctantly went upstairs.
Shopkeeper Chen followed immediately and arrived at the private room. While pouring tea for Jiang Weinan, he asked gossiping: "Why is the young master in town today, and why are he with Miss Xie?"
Jiang Weinan glanced at him, and shopkeeper Chen immediately fell silent.
Then he retreated and went to the kitchen.
Xie Jiaojiao is actually not very good at cooking, but when she met her father before, her mother cooked a lot of food.
"Thank you, miss." Shopkeeper Chen stepped forward.
"Shopkeeper Chen, did you delay your business?"
"No, no, there won't be much business during the Lantern Festival today."
"Miss Xie, do you want to cook for Master Jiang?"
Xie Jiaojiao nodded: "He treated me to a meal, so I treated him to a meal too."
When did the young master invite Miss Xie to eat?
Shopkeeper Chen was puzzled.
Xie Jiaojiao cooked two dishes in a few times, but when she tasted them, she felt disgusted.
Shopkeeper Chen looked on: "Why don't you let Chef Li make two for you?"
Xie Jiaojiao nodded immediately: "That's okay!"
Chef Li had long seen her wasting food and wanted to help, so he immediately took action.
Xie Jiaojiao saw the glutinous rice noodles next to her and started to make them again. Although she was not good at cooking, she could still make glutinous rice balls, the Lantern Festival. In the past, she would make them with her family during the Chinese New Year.
Seeing that there were peanuts in the kitchen, I used a stone mortar to turn them into fine powder and put them into the brown sugar in the kitchen.
This is the first time Shopkeeper Chen has seen her doing this.
Chef Li's food over there will be ready soon, and Xie Jiaojiao's glutinous rice balls here are almost ready too.
Xie Jiaojiao left some in the kitchen and gave Chef Li a penny to thank him for his help. Then she took the cutting board and brought the food to the private room upstairs.
Jiang Weinan was tired of waiting for a long time.
"If you don't come again, I will go to the kitchen to find you!"
Xie Jiaojiao smiled and said, "I've been waiting for a long time!"
Jiang Weinan pursed his lips and said nothing. She was obviously the one who asked him to come out. After she came out, she left him alone upstairs and waited for so long.
Xie Jiaojiao placed the dumplings and vegetables.
"You did it all?"
"Only the glutinous rice balls are made by me, and the other dishes are made by Chef Li!"
Jiang Weinan immediately looked at the glutinous rice balls in front of him.
"Would you like to try it?"
Jiang Weinan lowered his head and scooped one out with the white porcelain spoon in the bowl.
"Be careful of burning your mouth!"
After Xie Jiaojiao finished speaking, Jiang Weinan was already burned.
Xie Jiaojiao watched him grinning from being burned, covering her face with the cutting board, and couldn't help but chuckled to herself.
Jiang Weinan was a little embarrassed.
But after all, he swallowed it, and he didn’t taste it at all!
"Aren't you going to sit down?"
Xie Jiaojiao shook her head: "You treated me to snacks yesterday, and I treat you to a meal today. We are even."
After Xie Jiaojiao finished speaking, she put down her things and prepared to leave.
Jiang Weinan immediately felt unhappy, not only in his heart, but also in his eyes, and his whole person.
"Xie Jiaojiao, do you have to do this every time I give you something?"
"Is there anything wrong?"
Jiang Weinan didn't like her appearance, so he stood up and said angrily: "We are getting married in more than four months!"
As soon as she mentioned this, Xie Jiaojiao immediately said: "Young Master Jiang, you have been making trouble for so long! In fact, I also know that when you said you wanted to marry me, didn't you just want to torture me in the future? But look, what happened It’s been so long, is there any deep hatred between us? You really don’t need to use your life’s happiness to argue with a little person like me, right?”
"What do you mean?" Jiang Weinan stared at Xie Jiaojiao.
"It's now, and you still want to break off the engagement?"
Xie Jiaojiao nodded: "Our status is too different. You are the eldest young master, and I am just a peasant girl. I am really not a good match for each other!"
Just listen to a snap!
Jiang Weinan threw the spoon in his hand and smashed it!
Jiang Weinan stood up, ignored her, and walked away.
When the door was opened, Shopkeeper Chen outside the door was embarrassed.
"Jiang Weinan, you..." Xie Jiaojiao wanted to call him, but Jiang Weinan walked away.
Xie Jiaojiao put down the cutting board and hurriedly chased after him.
Shopkeeper Chen was behind, jumping anxiously: "Oh, Miss Xie, why don't you understand the young master's thoughts?"
Xie Jiaojiao caught up with Jiang Weinan: "How can you say a few words and still get angry!" Like a child.
Jiang Weinan looked at her: "Xie Jiaojiao! Are you really not understanding or are you pretending not to understand!"
Xie Jiaojiao also looked at him: "Is it possible that you really like me and want to marry me?"
The veins on Jiang Weinan's forehead popped out: "That's right! I just like you! I want to marry you!"
