Xie Ling couldn't help but laugh.
After dinner, Qianniang and Jiang Wanyi rushed to clean up.
The two of them lived in Gu's house and had nothing to do on weekdays, so they were particularly diligent about this kind of thing.
While helping to clean up, Xie Ling thought that she should find something for them to do, otherwise the two of them would be too bored on weekdays.
And Song, such wonderful embroidery work cannot be wasted.
While they were cleaning up here, Gu Wei was about to help when he was suddenly pulled aside by Ji Ke.
The reason why housework is exclusive to women in these families is that men have to clean up the table after dinner and cannot sit idle.
Ji Ke, a strong man of eight feet tall, was hesitant and it was only after Gu Wei slapped him in the face that he spoke his true feelings.
"General, who is your Xiaoqian?"
Gu Wei raised his eyebrows, "What are you planning, kid? She's your sister-in-law, I dare not say anything more. If you want to ask anything, go ask your sister-in-law yourself."
Ji Ke looked at Gu Wei aggrievedly, and finally went to find Xie Ling.
Xie Ling washed her hands and asked, "What's wrong?"
Ji Ke didn't dare to be shy in front of Xie Ling. He straightened his back, put his hands close to his trouser seams, and said loudly like a soldier reporting to the general: "Madam, I want to ask about Xiao Qian! How I treated her, how I treated her..."
Tough guys can also be tender-hearted. When Ji Ke said this, a blush appeared on his dark face.
"I'm in love with you!"
Xie Ling frowned, a little surprised, "You are talking about Qianniang, right? It's only the first day you met her, how come you have already fallen in love with her?"
Ji Ke scratched his head. "No, I saw her before when I came to Gu's house. She was sitting on the corridor, sewing clothes for her child, and she showed me the way.
Later, when Uncle Qizhu and I were working on wood, the sun was so strong, and she stood by to hold an umbrella for us and pour water for us. She was so gentle. I asked Uncle Qizhu, and he said her husband had passed away a long time ago. I believe I can take good care of her and the children.
Xie Ling felt more at ease when she heard this. Judging from Ji Ke's words, he was at least not a frivolous person.
After a moment's silence, Xie Ling said, "Qianniang has a miserable life. I have no right to tell you about her past, but if you want to win her heart, give her the best and most sincere things, and see if you can beat her."
Ji Ke's face was filled with ecstasy, "So, Madam agrees that I can pursue her?"
Xie Ling chuckled: "A gentleman loves a beautiful lady, so why should I disagree with her?"
After he finished speaking, he realized that this was ancient times with strict etiquette and laws. Ji Ke probably thought Qianniang was his servant, so she came to ask for help from him.
She went on to explain: "Qianniang is my good friend, not my servant. She is a free person."
Ji Ke nodded vigorously, turned around and saw Qianniang carrying dishes and chopsticks, so he happily went to help.
