After hesitating, the two of them still stepped forward.

The man walked ahead.

When the old servant at the door saw that the man had come to the door, he stopped talking.

"...... are you?" One of the old servants asked, not showing a sluggish attitude because of their shabby clothes.

This is the style that Qingbo Pavilion and even the entire Kong clan have always had.

The man spoke crampedly and said, "My husband and wife are here to invite Miss Kong." ”

After the two old servants glanced at each other, they asked again, "Dare to ask what is the relationship between the two of you and my girl?" ”

The man seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then replied with a shy face: "As soon as the labor is heard, I will say that it is ...... Distant relatives are just that. ”

It's just that I don't know if Sister Sakura is willing to recognize him as a relative.

"Distant relatives." The old servant looked at the two of them intently for a moment.

……

Jiang Ying's side, halfway through the meal, I saw Ah Fei, who was guarding the door, walking in.

"Girl-" Ah Fei walked up to Jiang Ying, and blessed.

"What's wrong?"

They are all female dependents at this table, only the Zhuang family's Jiang Ying, Liang Wenqing, Hua Changjing and Song Chunyue's mother and daughter, and the female dependents of the Kong clan are all entertaining those noble ladies outside, Ah Fei knows that there is nothing that can not be said, so he said bluntly to Jiang Ying: "Uncle Qiu came to pass the word, saying that a couple came from outside, and the distant relatives of the girl who said it——"

"Distant relatives?" Without waiting for Jiang Ying to speak, Zhuang was stunned and said, "Where does Sister Ying have any distant relatives?" ”

Jiang Ying was also puzzled, but since she had found it, she wanted to see it. So he asked, "Qiu Bo invited someone in?" ”

"No, I don't." Ah Fei said: "Qiu Bo wanted to invite people in, but they didn't want to, they just said that they would wait at the door, and they just wanted to see the girl - and said that the girl should not worry, and it would not be too late to meet them after eating." ”

That being said, but now that you know it, if you don't see it, who will be able to live in peace in your heart?

"That's weird." Hua Changjing guessed: "Hearing this, it doesn't look like an impostor who came here. ”

If not, he wouldn't even be able to enter the gate of the Seichamikan.

"Not necessarily. Maybe it's just a trick. Liang Wenqing scooped up the sweet soup and put it in his mouth. He lifted his eyelids and said: "Anyway, you don't have any distant relatives, even if you really have, it must be far away, and it can't be further away - now I found it at your marriage banquet, and the eight achievements are related to Pan." It is okay not to see such people. ”

Song Chunyue didn't say whether she saw it or not. listened to Liang Wenqing's words. Just looked at Jiang Ying.

"I'd better go over and take a look." Jiang Ying thought about it and put down her chopsticks.

People haven't seen it yet, and everything they say is speculation.

Hanging in my heart. I don't feel safe to eat.

Anyway, this is in the Qingbo Pavilion, no matter what kind of thoughts people have in mind, there is nothing to be afraid of.

Yun Li hurriedly said: "The slave and maid will accompany the girl over." ”

Zhuang also got up and said to Jiang Ying: "If it is really a distant relative of Lao Shizi, maybe I will still recognize it—lest you be deceived by them then." ”

Jiang Ying thought about it, so she nodded and followed Zhuang's words, and the two of them took Yunli and left the Tuoyue Courtyard together.

The temple is the inner courtyard, and it is not close to the gate of the front yard from here.

On the way, Zhuang told Jiang Ying all the relatives of the Jiang family and Jiang Ying's maternal ancestor that he knew, but according to her, the two families were thin, and the people who knew Jiang Ying were basically not in the world.

The two walked all the way and talked all the way, and came to the gate.

The husband and wife were still waiting there and never left.

The old servant guarding the door saw Jiang Ying coming, and hurriedly took two steps into the door, "Girl." ”

Hearing the movement, the husband and wife hurriedly looked inside the door.

“…… How are you? Zhuang looked out the door, looked at the man, and suddenly exclaimed.

The man smiled wryly and looked at Jiang Ying.

Jiang Ying was stunned for a moment before she reacted: "Second uncle." ”

The person who came turned out to be Jiang Shipin.

Where are what distant relatives!

Hearing Jiang Ying call himself, Jiang Shipin was stunned, and said with a somewhat complicated expression: "It's hard for you to call me a second uncle...... The reason why he regarded himself as a distant relative was that he was afraid that his appearance would embarrass Jiang Ying, and secondly, Jiang Ying was afraid that he would refuse to recognize him as a second uncle.

Jiang Ying didn't care about this, and only asked, "You were released in advance?" ”

"Before that, thanks to Master Liang'......" Jiang Shipin said: "Plus I caught up with the five-year amnesty, and it has been out for more than two months." ”

Jiang Ying realized this, and was about to ask something more, but noticed that a gaze kept going back and forth on her.

This gaze is the woman from Jiang Shipin's side.

Jiang Ying recognized the person almost at a glance.

The blame is only on what happened at the ceremony, which is too profound for her.

This woman added a walnut bracelet to her that day, and slandered her Guo family.

Her behavior was not a serious crime, and it was not surprising that she was released after a few months.

As for her going with Jiang Shipin, it was also explained in the news that Jin Qitan heard earlier.

"Good you poisonous woman! It's you! The Zhuang family obviously recognized the person, but it was not as calm as Jiang Ying, and immediately put up his guard, stepped forward and said: "You almost ruined my sister Ying's etiquette before, and now you want to come here to make trouble at the wedding banquet?" What kind of grudge does my sister Sakura have against you!"

"Mrs. Liang misunderstood......" Guo Shi explained with embarrassment, "I came today only to apologize to Miss Jiang for the inappropriate behavior in the ceremony. And there is no other intention. ”

Zhuang looked at her suspiciously, and sneered: "Who knows what kind of trick this is." ”

I don't blame her for thinking too much, it's just that the situation at the ceremony that day, Rao still makes her afraid when she thinks about it to this day.

A daughter's lifelong reputation is almost ruined.

"Mrs. Liang really misunderstood Jin Niang...... Jiang Shipin sighed and explained: "Jin Niang told me about the ceremony. There's something wrong with her, but it's for me...... She didn't know what was going on, she just thought it was Sister Sakura who hurt me, so she acted like that. If Sister Sakura wants to blame, it will be counted on me. ”

Although Zhuang's opinion of Jiang Shipin changed slightly because he took the initiative to provide Jiang Shiyou's location before he was imprisoned, so that he was able to save Jiang Ying's life in time, he still couldn't completely let go of his guard in a short period of time.

Listening to what he said, I couldn't believe it all.

Jiang Ying had already gotten the truth from Jin Qi, so she didn't doubt Jiang Shipin's words at the moment, and was silent for a while. Only then did he ask, "Second Uncle came over today." Is it just to see me? ”

Jiang Shipin has already received the punishment she deserved from the beginning, and now that she is doing well, she doesn't want to care about the past anymore. Add to your worries in vain.

"I heard that you are engaged to the son of the Jin family. The second uncle wants to come and see you. Jiang Shipin said and looked at Guo again. said: "Jin Niang also feels guilty with you, and wants to take the opportunity to make amends with you in person." ”

Jiang Ying glanced at Guo Shi noncommittally, and saw that her face was full of shame and did not seem to be a fake. looked at ease with her conscience, and couldn't help but think of what Xie Jiarou said to her that day in the maple forest outside the city.

Guo's excesses were taken by Xie Jiarou's plan.

But these are no longer necessary to communicate with Guo Shi at the moment.

If she has no intentions, no matter how much others provoke her, it will be useless.

"That being the case, I see." Jiang Ying didn't want to say more, and finally glanced at the two of them, thinking of the 'husband and wife' that Ah Fei said when he passed it on, he couldn't help but have a plan in his heart.

Jiang Shipin and Guo Shi saw Jiang Ying turn around and leave, but they didn't quite understand what the phrase 'got it' meant.

Is it to forgive, or not to forgive?

Seeing that the Zhuang family also walked back to the door with the maid, Jiang Shipin couldn't help but call again: "Sister Ying'er......"

"Second Uncle has other things to do?"

Guo Shi pushed Jiang Shipin, and he trotted up and chased after Jiang Ying.

"I know that you are going to marry, and the second uncle should be prepared by you as a generous gift, but you also know the situation of the second uncle, and you really can't come up with anything decent...... Jiang Shipin took out a water-green bracelet from his arms, handed it to Jiang Ying, and said in a shameful tone: "Things are not good, it is a piece of the second uncle's heart." ”

Jiang Ying looked at his face that looked particularly dejected under the dim lantern, and after a pause, she reached out and took the thing.

Because it is placed close to the body, the bracelet still has some residual warmth.

"Thank you, Second Uncle."

"No thanks, thank you...... Jiang Shipin was obviously very happy, lowered his head, his eyes were slightly red, and said: "I became close to Jin Niang, and now I have a home, we plan to go to Xiangzhou, Jin Niang has done some small business over there before, and has some connections, so I can make a living...... I left the day after tomorrow. ”

His reputation in the capital is so bad that no one is willing to hire him, so he can only go to a place that no one knows and start over.

Jiang Ying roughly knew this, nodded and said, "That's fine." ”

"In the future, you will have to take care of yourself in the capital......"

"The second uncle is too."

Jiang Shipin nodded, as if there was nothing more to say, smiled and sighed, and then glanced at Jiang Ying one last time, and then turned around.

But Jiang Ying suddenly asked behind him, "Second Uncle came over on foot?" ”

Jiang Shipin didn't react for a while, only nodded and said with a smile: "Walking." ”

"Uncle Qiu, prepare a carriage to send the second uncle back."

"No, no need to ......" Jiang Shipin looked a little flattered, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "It's not far away, you don't need to send it." ”

Guo Shi was also busy refusing.

"Second uncle, don't shirk." Jiang Ying glanced at Qiu Bo again, he would make up his mind and immediately go down to prepare the car.

Jiang Shipin didn't say anything anymore, and finally smiled at Jiang Ying, turned around and walked down the steps, his eyes were already wet.

“……”

Zhuang sighed silently and said to Jiang Ying, "Let's go." ”

Jiang Ying nodded, and her figure gradually disappeared under the light and shadow inside the door.

……

After the meal, the guests said goodbye to Confuge and left the Qingbo Pavilion together.

According to the rules, Jiang Ying needed to stay in Qingbo Pavilion tonight, so that she didn't have to follow Zhuang Liang Ping and them back to Yushu Hutong, so she only sent a large family outside the gate, and watched the carriage drive away before turning around and going back with Kong Fu and Uncle Di.

"Did Grandpa eat too much tonight?" Jiang Ying saw that Kong Fu's face was festive red, and couldn't help but say, "You are so old, why don't you have any proportions?" ”

After that, he looked at Uncle Di again.

"I can't persuade you." Uncle Di's face was expressionless.

"Grandfather is happy today." Kong Fu laughed, obviously drunk, and spoke with a big tongue.

Jiang Ying wanted to laugh a little, but felt helpless.

This was the first time she had seen her husband drunk.

But he didn't dare to delay, so he asked Uncle Di to help Mr. go back to the room, and he went to the kitchen to cook sobering soup.

Fortunately, because of today's banquet guests, the kitchen prepared a decanting soup early, and now there is leftover, Jiang Ying warmed it up, so she asked the servant to hold a bowl and send it to Confu's room.

I remembered that I didn't see Shi Qing when I was sending off the guests just now, and I must have been drunk a lot, so I also sent a bowl of it.

When Yunli accompanied her back to the Tuoyue Courtyard, Jiang Ying was exhausted.

If it weren't for the support of the medicine prescribed by Fang Xinyuan, she was afraid that she would not be able to survive even half a day.

Fortunately, Ah Fei is very caring, and has already prepared bath water and clothes for her, and she can go to bed after just washing up.

But as soon as he came out of the barrel, he dried himself and changed into his middle coat, but he heard a message from a maid outside the door.

Ah Fei went to open the door, asked a few words and turned back, his little face full of surprise.

"What's wrong?"

"Quasi-uncle is here." Ah Fei's face turned red inexplicably, she had seen Jin Qi once, and vaguely remembered that he was a handsome character. But today's hiring, it stands to reason that the prospective aunt shouldn't have come.

Prospective uncle?

Jiang Ying was stunned for a moment before she realized that this new title referred to Jin Qi.

"Why are you here so late?" Yun Li was also quite surprised, and the action of helping Jiang Ying twist her hair was a pause, and asked, "Do you want to change your clothes and go to meet the girl?" ”

Jiang Ying immediately nodded, "Quickly help me get my clothes." ”

Jin Qi came to her at this time, afraid that there was something important.

Yun Li didn't know what she was thinking, but she saw Jiang Ying's movements in her clothes and shoes quickly, as if she was in a hurry, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Girl, slow down...... There's no hurry. ”

The prospective aunt can't run away for a while.

Of course, you can't open your mouth to say this, otherwise you will probably be blinded.

After taking a ribbon and tying her half-dried hair behind her head, Jiang Ying hurried to the flower hall.

Jin Qi was waiting there, and in the green jade tea bowl placed on the three-legged plum blossom table next to his elbow, there was a faint cloud of mist, which made him look much warmer than usual.

Hearing footsteps, Jin Qi turned his head.

When he went to the northwest, he always felt that Jiang Ying seemed to have grown taller, and now she was wearing a blue and white narrow-sleeved half-arm skirt, and she suddenly felt slim.

But seeing that her forehead hair was not yet dry, she thought that she was going to sleep after washing, so she bent her lips and said with a smile: "Am I late?" ”

"Haven't slept yet." Jiang Ying came to him, and before she could sit down, she said, "Is something wrong?" (To be continued.) )
