Chapter 86 Confession
Xie Yuan sent Jiang Mingyue directly to his home. At that time, Jiang Minghong was preparing to write an article. Looking at the two people who walked in together, he first glanced at their clasped hands, and then looked at his sister's smiling face. He lowered his eyes, that's all, just holding hands wasn't too much.
"Thank you, brother. You can sit wherever you like, or go to the study. I want to take a shower first."
"it is good!"
Xie Yuan let go of her hand, walked into the study, glanced at the Yu Gen brothers and sisters who were practicing calligraphy, walked to Jiang Minghong and sat down.
"How many articles have you written in the past few days?"
"One article a day!" Jiang Minghong handed Xie Yuan three articles that he thought were pretty good.
Jiang Mingyue came out with a change of clothes, glanced at the two people who got along very well, and entered the bathroom. She washed her hair with Pomegranate's help, and then came out of the bathroom.
In the study, Xie Yuan put down three articles.
"It seems that you have gained something from sitting with Shen Yu."
Jiang Minghong was a little shocked. Did he see this?
"In the past few days when you were away, he gave me guidance on writing articles every day, and also lent me a selection of Shen Daru's articles to review. I benefited a lot."
"Very good!"
Someone taught him, which made Xie Yuanle feel relaxed.
"If you repay your favor, you can invite him to your home as a guest in the future."
After saying this, Xie Yuan walked out of the study, came behind the girl, took the handkerchief from her hand, and wiped her hair.
Jiang Mingyue's hands are a little sore! She sat down obediently and let the man wipe her.
The girl's hair was black and shiny, as soft as fine silk. Xie Yuan played with it while wiping it.
"Wash your hair with Cha Ku?"
Xie Yuan had been to the south and knew that most people there used Cha Ku to wash their hair, but he didn't expect that Jiang Mingyue was still using Cha Ku after coming to Wanping for so long.
"Brother Xie is really well-informed."
Xie Yuan listened to her compliment and asked in a good mood: "Don't you like using soap locust?"
"Well, after washing my hair, it will be a bit astringent and not easy to smooth through. Unfortunately, I don't have much tea left in my hands. Even if I don't like it, I will use it in a while." Jiang Mingyue said distressedly.
"If you don't like it, don't use it. I'll make you something to wash your hair later."
"Brother Xie knows how to make shampoo?" Jiang Mingyue said with a hint of surprise in her voice.
"Shampoo? That's appropriate."
He paused and said, "I usually like reading. A few years ago, I occasionally saw a recipe for making shampoo in a miscellaneous book. I used to make it for my sister."
Sister Zhi was appreciated by Concubine Jing for her shampoo, and he did it frequently in those years. Later, when he went out to travel and his sister left the palace with the fifth prince, he stopped doing it now.
Jiang Mingyue felt that her hair was dry, turned around, and said in a sweet voice: "Brother Xie, you are good at studying, good at doing things, working, giving lectures, and making shampoo. You are so outstanding! Thinking of such an excellent you, He’s my fiancé, oh my! I’m so proud!”
Xie Yuan heard it funny, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly. At this time, Jiang Minghong came over and said, "It's time to eat."
Jiang Mingyue stood up quickly after hearing this, fixed her hair with a hairpin, and followed the two of them into the main hall.
In the kitchen, Su Niang looked back at Shiliu and Yu Xing'er and said, "Bring the food!"
"Yes!"
Jiang Mingyue was very happy that Xie Yuan was back, and pitied him for his hard work these days, so she specially brought out a small jar of wine.
"Drink some wine and have a good night's sleep."
Jiang Minghong took the wine jar from his sister's hand, stood up and poured wine for the two of them before sitting down.
Jiang Mingyue raised her wine glass and looked at the two of them: "Let's have a drink!"
Xie Yuan and Jiang Minghong picked up their wine glasses at the same time.
After a glass of wine, the three of them used their chopsticks. During this period, Jiang Mingyue would pick up a piece of food for the man from time to time. Of course, she did not forget to take care of her brother.
Seeing that she hadn't eaten much, Xie Yuan picked out the fish with chopsticks, put it in her bowl and said, "You eat it too!"
"Ok!"
The next thing is that you pick up the food for me, and I pick up the food for you, Jiang Minghong; "..." Suddenly I felt full just from eating dog food.
After dinner, he knew that his sister was going to give Xie Yuan a gift, so he immediately went to the study without disturbing the two of them again.
Jiang Mingyue returned to the bedroom and took out the brocade box and handed it to Xie Yuan.
"I wanted to give it to you after we got engaged, but I didn't expect it to be postponed until today. Let's see if you like it."
Xie Yuan opened the brocade box and looked at the hosta inside. Naturally, she liked it, but she probably spent a lot of money to buy this hairpin. Now that her family has a large population and daily expenses, she doesn't know if she has enough money to spend.
"Do you still have enough money in hand?"
Jiang Mingyue looked up at the man, wondering why he suddenly asked this.
"Didn't this hosta cost a lot of money?"
Without waiting for her answer, he continued, "Come home with me later, and I'll give you some money."
Jiang Mingyue felt sweet after hearing this. She looked at the man with a sweet smile: "We just got engaged, are you ready to support me?"
Xie Yuan looked into the little woman's sparkling peach blossom eyes and said softly, "Hmm."
Out of curiosity, Jiang Mingyue grabbed the man's arm, stood on tiptoes and leaned into his ear and whispered, "How much money has Brother Xie saved over the years?"
The woman's warm breath sprayed on his ears, and Xie Yuan felt a little itchy. The itch quickly spread along his ears to his heart.
He turned his head, brushed his slightly cold thin lips against the earlobe of the person in his arms and whispered, "More than thirty thousand."
When Jiang Mingyue heard this, her eyes widened in shock. Xie Yuan was usually too low-key. Although he was wearing an ordinary cotton robe, it was very simple to eat alone on weekdays. There was no way to tell that he was so capable. money.
"Then how much are you going to give me, Brother Xie?"
Xie Yuan pulled her to sit down; "I can give you everything I have."
"Are you willing?"
"Give it up!"
Jiang Mingyue covered her face and laughed happily.
"You also know that I usually spend money lavishly. Are you afraid that I will spend it all?"
"Money is an extraneous thing. If you don't have it anymore, just make it again."
Xie Yuan raised his hand and tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear and said, "I don't want you to be wronged in terms of money, and I can't bear to wrong you."
Jiang Mingyue's heart beat faster and faster uncontrollably, and the few words the man said made her blush and become elated.
"Thank you, brother, you are so kind!"
Xie Yuan said 'hmm'.
"Only good to you."
Seeing her so happy made him feel much better.
"Brother Xie, how did you earn so much money?"
Xie Yuan saw her interest and talked to her carefully.
"Since I gained fame, I no longer live beyond my means. I earned a little from writing books, a little while working as a staff member in the Yamen, and then the income from the drug store. Of course, these money only account for a small part, and the bulk of it is Over there at Jianghuai."
Jiang Mingyue asked in surprise: "Jianghuai?"
"Well, I passed by Jianghuai when I was traveling before and saved a few people. One of them was very good at doing business, but he had no capital. I gave him a sum of money as a shareholding. In the past two years, as his business grew bigger and bigger, I got The dividends are getting more and more, so the total is just over 30,000."
"Oh! What book did Brother Xie write? Can you still buy it in bookstores now?" Jiang Mingyue asked curiously.
"I can't buy it anymore!" Xie Yuan's eyes wandered for a moment and he immediately changed the subject.
