Chapter 364: The Dark Tide is surging

Ming Qing's words made Jiang Chengzi frown, she had thought that the old lady would look for her before she went to Chang'an, but she didn't expect it to be so soon. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"The old lady is looking for you at this time-" Li Ke couldn't figure it out.

Jiang Chengzi felt his displeasure and irritability, so he patted the back of his hand and said, "Don't worry. ”

"We just removed one of her arms, and we can't be sure we won't jump off the wall. Li Ke said coldly.

Jiang Chengzi smiled slightly, shook his head, and said, "You also like to laugh." If she is the one who jumps over the wall in a hurry, the person who controls the Yang family today is not her. ”

Li Ke was still a little irritable and said, "I'll go with you." ”

"Don't worry. Besides, you are not suitable to go with me. Now few people know that Ah Nian is the king of Shu. Jiang Chengzi consoled.

Li Ke paced back and forth in the room irritably, sighed and said, "Every time like this, I wish it would be the same as in my previous life, so it would be better to control it." However, if it is the same as in my previous life, I will not be able to let go of this heart. ”

Jiang Chengzi stepped forward and took his hand, pulled him to sit down on the cushion, and she knelt beside him, looking at him and smiling.

"What's wrong?" he was embarrassed by her, so he covered his face with his hand.

"Hah, I forgot I was wearing a mask. Jiang Chengzi quipped.

Li Ke was stunned for a moment, smiled "poof", slowly put his hand down, and said, "Okay, I'm not irritable." ”

When she saw him calm down, she obediently said "um", then looked at him and said very seriously, "Don't think about how you were in your previous life." Now, it is a gift from God that allows us to reunite in a new time and space with our memories, and people are still those people, but things are no longer the things of the previous life. ”

"I know. That's why I'm more worried. Li Ke's tone was still worried.

Jiang Chengzi comforted: "You don't have to worry. It was not unsurprising that the old lady came to me. ”

"But I didn't expect it to be so fast. Li Ke frowned.

"After all, she is old, and I am afraid that she will not be able to hold her breath. Jiang Chengzi smiled.

"Do you really think it's because she can't hold her breath?" Li Ke was still quite worried, "I think I should go with you." ”

"Trust me. She shook his hand vigorously and said, "I'll ask Mingqing to take you to the guest room to rest." When you wake up, I'll be back. ”

"Very well. Yang Shuyue smiled.

Ah Nian came back to his senses suddenly because of these words, and smiled a little embarrassedly.

Yang Shuyue was about to ask about the situation in the court, but he heard the little servant shouting outside through the screen: "Sixth master, the masters of the third and seventh rooms have brought the gentlemen to pay a visit, do you want to see them?"

"If you want to see them, you lead them to the main hall. Yang Shuyue got up and said very apologetically to Ah Nian, "Back to the ancestral house, there are always such trivial matters, I will go to socialize one or two, and when the sixth room is settled in Chang'an, I also ask General Ah Nian to move around often." ”

"Sixth Master is polite, if you have something to do, you can go and get busy, don't worry about me. Besides, with Miss Azhi here, she won't snub me, I just happened to taste the famous food and tea in Yipin Liufang. Ah Nian laughed.

Yang Shuyue got up to tidy up his clothes, and asked Yang Qingrang to come and get to know his uncles and brothers.

After the Yang father and son left, Jiang Chengzi and Ah Nian were left in the house. Jiang Chengzi raised his eyes to look at him at this time, and met his eyes. In the hazy light and shadow of the flower hall, there is an indescribable clarity in the eyes that turn back and forth in the dream. It seems to be a bright window shadow depicted in the yellowing novel of the Republic of China.

After looking at each other for a moment, she first looked away, came back to her senses, and said to Ming Qing, "You go and rest." ”

Ming Qing obediently retired, Jiang Chengzi washed his hands and burned incense, took the mountain spring and burned it on the stove, carefully took out his treasured Ming Qian green tea from the clay pot, and made a pot of tea for Ah Nian himself.

Ah Nian had been sitting in his seat before, but he finally felt that he was too far away from her, so he moved the mat and sat down face to face with her.

In the mist of tea, Jiang Chengzi took a cup of tea and handed it over, he stretched out his hand and asked in a low voice, "Thank you for your hard work." ”

"I'm not hard. It's you, who entered Chang'an after the winter solstice, and it was a battlefield where people killed people without seeing blood, so you worked hard. She replied with a smile.

Yes. Putting things right is not something he can do to set things right. This matter is related to the royal family, and it is also related to the interests of the emperor, and the emperor must approve it.

But how can we get the emperor's approval? Previously, Li Shimin found several waves of messengers to test the six rooms, especially Jiang Chengzi. And, judging from Li Shimin's attitude, he is actually very jealous of the Yang family's nine girls marrying the third prince Li Ke.

One is because she is too smart, and the other is because he is too powerful, which overshadows the prince and the princes who came out. Li Shimin had no way of estimating the energy and harm of the duo.

Listening to what Chai Lingwu said, Li Shimin seemed to have summoned her to the palace to serve. The last time Chai Shao came with the holy decree, it was also a loss to Chai Shao, who had always only looked at things and not the situation, so he could make a decision immediately and accept her as his goddaughter, which broke Li Shimin's thoughts.

Just these few things can give a glimpse of Li Shimin's opposition to her marriage with Li Ke. How difficult it would be to get his approval.

"It's okay, tea, salt, potatoes, sweet potatoes, you have a lot to do. In addition, the plan for preventing locust plagues and the strategy for water storage and water control that you have sorted out have made the Ministry of Industry breathtaking. The emperor loves talent, so he attaches great importance to this case. Ah Nian said lightly, and then drank the cup of tea in one gulp.

Jiang Chengzi smiled, took the teacup in his hand, and added a new cup of tea for him, Shi Shiran sat down, and then said helplessly: "You, do you want to hide it from me?"

"Ma'am, you blame me wrong. He slowly put down his teacup and said in a low voice.

"Whoever is your wife, don't shout. Jiang Chengzi panicked when he heard this.

But he laughed, lowered his business and said, "You!"

The short word "you" made Jiang Chengzi panic for no reason, she lowered her head, her breathing was chaotic again, and the crisp birdsong outside the window also made her feel thrilled.

"Ah Zhi. When he saw that she was bowing her head and not saying a word, he cried out in a low voice.

Jiang Chengzi nodded again and again, and he explained: "I am more with my mother in Chang'an, and occasionally I am called by my father to assist the Ministry of Industry in completing your plan to prevent locust plagues. So, I'm really not hard. ”

"The court is unpredictable. If you do this kind of thing, you will always be regarded as a thorn in the side. Originally, you have always kept a low profile, but because of me-" Jiang Chengzi was very sad. Li Ke has known his identity since he was a child, and has always adhered to his duty, trying not to make people suspicious, and getting rid of his mother and son. But since he met her, he has repeatedly violated the ban.

"I'm so forbearing, abiding by my duty, trying to keep a low profile, but I'm just recuperating, and I can keep you when I come to me for you. He said slowly.

Jiang Chengzi pursed his lips and looked up at him, he still had a smile on his lips, and said, "Since it is to protect you, then why do you stick to what means and what forms to use?"

After experiencing the scumbag's scheming and Yang Wang's concept of partnering and love, Jiang Chengzi was already very calm about the love of her children, but at this moment, when she heard this high-flying young man say this, she still couldn't help but wet her eyes with tears.

With tears in her eyes, she met his gaze, looked at his face in a silver mask, and choked up, "Thank you." ”

"Silly. He reached through the mist of tea and caressed her face, with great pity. Everyone in the world is right, and fate is unfair to him Li Ke. But he thinks that fate is the fairest for him, allowing him to meet the love that the world has been looking for and such a wonderful woman that no one can match.

Jiang Chengzi let his face touch his broad palm, like a lazy cat, and said in a lazy coquettish tone: "I'm just worried about you, but you are making fun of me." ”

"I'm distressed, the kind of distress I want to hold you in the palm of my hand. Where's the fun for you. He smiled, a little helpless.

Jiang Chengzi was embarrassed to hear it, so he was stunned for a moment, and then borrowed the tea to fade and try it with a new pot of autumn tea, which resolved the embarrassment.

When another pot of tea was brewed, she had calmly told him about their lives since the winter parting.

Her life is nothing more than what new discoveries she has made, what she has done to deal with the affairs of Shuzhong, and what new dishes and snacks she has made.

And his life is in Chang'an, the grand festivals in the court, and some customs. As for the affairs of the court, he mentioned very little.

Jiang Chengzi knew that he didn't want to worry about him, so she didn't ask.

When the two said this, a pot of tea faded again, Jiang Chengzi looked at the tea leaves in the cup, smiled, got up and took the finished refreshments.

When the refreshments were served, he pouted, pretended to be angry, and said, "Hmph, after I left Shuzhong, didn't you miss me?"

"How so. She replied in a low voice, thinking that he was a trap, but had to answer.

Sure enough, as soon as he heard it, he was happy, and asked in a low voice, "Madam, what do you think of me?"

Jiang Chengzi squinted at him, wanting to say the opposite but was reluctant, so he pursed his lips and plucked up the courage to say: "The ancients are like three autumns after a day. I am more to you than this. ”

When he heard this, his body stiffened and his breathing became heavy.

"Ah Zhi, sometimes I can't wait for you to grow up immediately, I have ten miles of red makeup with you, and flowers and candles in the cave room. Sometimes, I'm afraid that you will grow up too quickly, and I am not strong enough to protect you and let you do whatever you want. He said.

"Do whatever you want?" Jiang Chengzi wondered.

He laughed and said solemnly, "Yes." I want to spoil the people I love to do whatever they want and live their lives unbridled. lest she be exiled from pain, lest she be afraid. ”

Jiang Chengzi was first moved and restrained, and then the whole person let go, smiled, and said, "If you say, I will believe it." ”

A smile crossed his lips when he heard this.

Jiang Chengzi looked at him, put his hand on his mask, and said mischievously, "I really want to take a look." ”

He pressed her hand and gently took off his mask, Jiang Chengzi saw the face he thought about day and night, and at the same time felt that at this moment, the entire flower hall was bright.

He held her little hand, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were smiling, and when he saw that she was stunned, he quipped, "Have you seen enough?"

Jiang Chengzi shook his head and said, "I can't get enough of it." ”

He laughed, took her into his arms, and whispered: "Ah Zhi, my father also let me be an official at the beginning of the New Year, and I will be the governor of Yizhou in Chang'an." If you go to Chang'an this time, we can meet every day. ”

"Hmm. Jiang Chengzi is not reserved at all.

"I really want you to grow up quickly, so that I can watch you all the time. I also hold you when I sleep at night. Li Ke said bluntly.

Actually, what he said was a simple sleep, but Jiang Chengzi misunderstood, and the whole person was ashamed all of a sudden. Although he talked about marriage with that scumbag in his previous life, he adhered to the Jiang family's tradition and did not hand himself over to that scumbag. Or, she subconsciously listened to her brother's disdain to that scumbag.

Therefore, in her previous life, due to the development of the media, she knew a lot about men and women, but she only talked about it on paper.

Now, in this life, she is still young, and naturally she has never experienced personnel personally.

Therefore, when I heard him say sleep or something, I was so ashamed that I couldn't say a word, and my whole body was so stiff that I didn't know what to do.

Li Ke didn't realize it, he still hugged her, sighed to himself, and said: "I will be with you in the future, I have to take you wherever I am afraid." If I can't take you with me, I'm afraid I won't want to go. ”

If Li Ke said this kind of thing on weekdays, Jiang Chengzi would always joke, "Go to the palace to see your father, you dare not go?", but today, she was quietly in his arms.

Li Ke felt strange, so he looked down at her. She tried her best not to let him see her face, but he did. That face was so red.

She's shy!

Li Ke thought about it, and then suddenly realized that he was a little impure in an instant, so he hurriedly let go of her, put on the mask, sat down, coughed twice, and said: "When you arrive in Chang'an, I will take you to Zhongnan Mountain to play." There are a few places that are very tasty. ”

"Zhongnan Mountain? Are there many dignitaries and nobles who buy other businesses over there?" Jiang Chengzi's thinking jumped, and he thought of Wang Wei's song "Zhongnan Farewell".

Li Ke nodded, and said that the aristocratic officials who like to cultivate Buddhism and ask questions will put other businesses over there, and the number is not too many.

Jiang Chengzi thought of ending up in the south and leaving his business, and he thought that he had other plans after going to Chang'an. And Li Ke has changed the topic, saying that after Chai Lingwu returned to Chang'an, the whole person changed, and he really took over the business of the Chai family, and the first private restaurant has opened in Chang'an.

"What's the recipe?" Jiang Chengzi was quite surprised.

"It's not as good as your cooking skills, but in Chang'an City, there are no restaurants that can compare with it. Li Ke said.

"Then do you think Brother Wu can continue this business?" she asked.

Li Ke said with a smile: "The Chai clan is born to make money. Ah Wu has done two modes this time, and he is exploring. As a result, he opened two kinds of restaurants. One is high-quality and inexpensive, and the people can afford it, and the other is a high-end feast for dignitaries. ”

"He's a genius. Jiang Chengzi was sincerely admired. A child of a wealthy family, who has always behaved uninhibitedly and dissolutely, now focuses on business, and has a natural sensitivity and intuition for business. With this intuition, Chai Lingwu actually listed both business models to give it a try.

"He was no worse than his brother. Li Ke made a conclusion.

The two of them were about to talk about the backyard for a walk, when they heard Ming Qing whispering outside the house: "Ninth girl, the old lady ordered someone to invite you to go." (To be continued.) )
