388: Reckoning
As soon as Gu Zaili heard the name of Jinqi, her face was unconsciously happy, but it was just for a moment, but it became complicated again.
The second son of Jin wants to see her?
Gu Zaili looked at Jiang Ying.
"Jin ...... Why did the second son of Jin also come? Although Jiang Ying's performance was not obvious, the surprise in her eyes still couldn't be hidden.
She hadn't seen Brother Jin for a few days.
Song Yuanju's explanation is very serious and she is cooperating, and she is only looking forward to a chance to "meet" every day, even if she doesn't speak, it is good to meet each other.
But why did Brother Jin suddenly come here to find her?
also asked people to come and invite her directly......
Is this another waywardness?
Does Brother Song know about this?
Got any whining?
Jiang Ying thought about it for a while, because she thought that Gu Zaili was still there, so she didn't want to ask any more, so she only pretended to be puzzled and asked, "It's so late, I don't know if the second son of Jin is in such a hurry to see me, is there something urgent?" ”
This is naturally a disguise, just to prevent Gu Zaili from being too suspicious.
Hua Changjing saw her intentions, so she smiled and agreed: "What else is there to urge, Bacheng is still for the matter that I didn't talk to Mr. Kong about last time-"
Yes?
Jiang Ying was really puzzled this time, and looked at Hua Changjing with a puzzled expression.
How could she not know that there was anything between Brother Jin and her grandfather that had not been discussed?
"Ahem......" Hua Changjing blinked at her quickly, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, as if he was disgusted with her stupidity.
She's helping her lie, okay?
"Oh...... Be. Jiang Ying reacted very ashamedly, and looked at the messenger with a slightly messy face. Q: "Is that so?" ”
There was a hint in his eyes.
"Yes......" The other party was very cooperative, but the doubts in his eyes were deeper.
It doesn't matter, he's just a messenger anyway.
"Shall I go and take a look?" Jiang Ying coughed and looked at Hua Changjing again.
"Let's go-" Hua Chang explained quietly: "Come back early after the matter is discussed, Shi Qing and I are waiting for you here." ”
"Then I'll be out of company first."
Hua Changjing nodded, and Gu Zaili watched Jiang Ying leave the room with her and the entourage who led the way.
"The relationship between Miss Jiang and the second son of Jin seems to be not bad?"
As soon as Jiang Ying's front foot left, Gu Zaili asked Hua Changjing tentatively.
Hua Changjing smiled noncommittally and said, "Everyone in the world knows that the Jin family and the Kong family have had a close relationship in recent years, and Ah Ying is the only granddaughter under Mr. Kong's knees. The two families come and go. It should be normal for her to be familiar with the second son of Jin, right? ”
was asked by her such a casual sentence, and Gu Zaili's next words were unspeakable.
Thinking about Jin Qi again, it is clear that in this Lingxi Garden, the two of them are so close. But she had no reason to see him. Or even wait a little longer. He would meet Jiang Ying, and she had no way of knowing what the two would say.
What's more. This Jiang Ying also admitted in front of her that she also likes the second son of Jin-
This feeling was terrible, and Gu Zaili felt as if a boulder had been pressed down on her heart, making her breathless.
Picked up a glass of wine and ate it with his head up, the hot wine crossed his throat, and he ate so violently that he almost choked out his tears.
Hua Changjing glanced at her thoughtfully and asked, "Miss Deng Er, what's wrong?" Why do you look like you have something on your mind? ”
"What's on your mind?" Gu Zaili smiled with a complicated face, and said, "It's just that I'm worried that my brother will eat too much wine at the Jin Grand Prince's place, and he won't talk nonsense without measure."
After that, he dipped his cuffs in two drops of wine on his lips, got up and said, "I really can't rest assured that he has a reckless temperament, I'll go over and see the peace of mind." ”
Hua Changjing naturally nodded.
Gu Zaili left the table and walked out of the inner room, and happened to collide with Shi Qing, who came back from Mr. Lingxi.
"Miss Deng Er." Shi Qing smiled and saluted.
Gu Zaili smiled back reluctantly, and when she saw Shi Qing sideways and get out of the way, she raised her foot and stepped over the threshold.
"Why did I go out this time, and everyone left."
Shi Qing came to the inner room and saw that Hua Changjing was the only one left, and said with a smile.
"Let's not talk about anyone else." Hua Changjing put away her smile slightly, looked at Shi Qing and asked, "What are you doing when you go out?" ”
"Me?" Shi Qing was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed and said, "Didn't Fang Cai say it?" I went to Mr. Lingxi. ”
Hua Changjing let out an "oh" and asked again, "Who did you go to see?" ”
"Go to Mr. Lingxi, who else can you see besides Mr. Lingxi?" Shi Qing asked with a smile.
"I don't know." Hua Changjing retracted the gaze on his face and said lightly: "For example, what about a beautiful woman like Miss Tang Yue?" ”
"Ah Mei...... Where did you think of this? Shi Qing's expression became a little uncomfortable.
"What are you doing standing there?" Hua Changjing pointed to the position on his side and said, "Sit down and talk about it—tell me if I'm thinking too much." ”
Shi Qing was slightly stunned, trying to identify something from her face, but Hua Changjing had an expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and it was really impossible to guess whether she was angry or joking.
I couldn't be sure for a while, so I sat down next to Hua Chang as I said.
"This is the girl who 'broke the bowels of the moon and the earth and the clouds, and who appreciates Gu Fang' in her heart, right?" Hua Changjing leaned on the table with one hand, leaned sideways and asked Shi Qing's cheek.
"Uh......?" Shi Qing's temples jumped suddenly.
I still remember that Hua Changjing was angry with him for the first time, just because of the sentence on the letter, 'The moon and the earth and the clouds are secretly broken, and the confidant who appreciates Gu Fang' -
"Yes and no?" Seeing that he was silent, Hua Changjing asked again.
Shi Qing nodded with a sneering face, "...... Be. ”
After that, he hurriedly explained: "But Miss Tang Yue and I have always been just bosom friends who have been friends with music, and nothing else-as for the previous letter, it was also a misunderstanding...... That poem. It's just her new songwriting. ”
"But you bosom friend doesn't seem to want to just see you as a bosom friend." Hua Changjing's fingers on his cheek tapped lightly on his face.
"Where did you hear that?" Shi Qing coughed, probably confused, so he had to say: "I just went to Mr. Lingxi's place, and I did happen to see Miss Tang Yue, but it was just an ordinary greeting...... Miss Tang Yue also talked about you--praising your generous manners, words and deeds are very beautiful in everyone's demeanor. ”
"Praise me?"
"Hmm...... I also said that I was really blessed in my last life to be able to marry such a good girl as you. Shi Qing stretched out his hand and put his arm around her shoulder, and said with a smile on his face.
Hua Changjing stretched out a hand between the two of them, and asked suspiciously, "Really?" ”
"If there is a half-sentence fabrication. May I be damned-" Shi Qing solemnly said.
Hua Changjing couldn't help but laugh.
A moment later. "Oh...... Then you tell her on my behalf, and I also wish her a wishful husband as soon as possible. After saying that, he buried his head in Shi Qing's arms, and quietly pursed his lips and smiled, and the knot in his heart for several months was finally relieved.
……
"Haven't you arrived yet?"
Follow the entourage to meet Jiang Ying of Jinqi. I felt as if I had passed from one end of Lingxi Xiaoyuan to the other.
This doesn't look much from the outside. The backyard is actually a hole. This road has been extraordinarily long.
The attendant who led the way replied, "Soon, it's ahead—"
As he spoke, he stretched out his finger forward. Jiang Ying looked in the direction of his finger, and sure enough, he saw a small attic rising on the flat ground not far away, and the second floor of the attic was shining with the light of the lights.
Jiang Ying secretly wondered in her heart, thinking that Brother Jin wanted to see her, and he would have to spend so much time?
But after thinking about it, Song Yuanju told her last time that now is the critical time, and the relationship between her and Brother Jin should not be known by too many people for the time being-presumably Brother Jin is doing this in order to hide people's eyes, right?
Jiang Ying was relieved, followed the entourage all the way, and soon came to the attic.
There are no guards in front of the attic, but it is a consistent style.
"Brother Song isn't there either?"
There was no illuminated candle on the first floor of the attic, the light was a little dim, Jiang Ying carried her skirt to the second floor, and asked casually because she didn't see Song Yuanju.
"It doesn't seem to be." The attendant paused, his tone faintly uncertain.
Jiang Ying's pace slowed down a little inexplicably, and she asked again, "What about Big Brother Zhou?" Didn't you come either? ”
"No, the master sent him to run errands." The tone of the entourage was much more decisive this time.
"What about Commander Fu?"
"I didn't come either—" The attendant seemed to think that Jiang Ying had too many questions, and couldn't help but be a little impatient.
Jiang Ying stopped abruptly.
Looking up at the two hall doors on the second floor, which were facing the staircase and the hole was open, the lights were bright and even a little dazzling.
"Miss Jiang?"
The attendant who was walking in front did not hear the footsteps that followed, and turned back in confusion.
In the darkness, Jiang Ying met his face that suddenly turned back, and was shocked to realize that there was a flash of vigilance in his eyes.
Jiang Ying's hands in her skirt were suddenly clenched, and her face was tense.
"Who is your master?"
What Brother Zhou and Commander Fu she asked just now were all tentative words from her nonsense, and there was no such person around Brother Jin at all!
But the other party neither saw through nor corrected it, and even replied firmly that she said that this false person was sent by Brother Jin to do something...... It's a lie!
Jiang Ying took a step back with one hand and held on to the railing of the staircase.
The man turned around and suddenly began to descend the stairs!
"Knock knock—"
The man's footsteps were quick and heavy.
Jiang Ying was horrified, so she ran downstairs.
The man followed.
"Boom!"
Jiang Ying had just run to the first floor, and the door of the attic was suddenly closed tightly from the outside!
Jiang Ying was in a dilemma, and when she was in a panic, she suddenly heard a drunken laughter from the second floor.
"Haha, I really asked my father to guess correctly - Mr. Kong's granddaughter is blind, and no one has taken a fancy to it, but she has taken a fancy to that low-born evil seed!"
Jiang Ying's body stiffened.
It's Jinmi!
And...... Listening to the meaning of his words, Jin Yuming had already noticed something?
Jin Yuming ......!
That man is not as mediocre and dull as he seems...... The tragic fate of Brother Jin in his previous life was because he was secretly at his mercy!
In the mouth of Brother Jin, this person is even more terrifying than the treacherous and cold-blooded Duke Jin!
Could it be that this is the "critical moment" that Song Yuanju said?
Blame her for being careless!
But Jin Mi went to great lengths to trick her here, is it really just to verify the relationship between her and Brother Jin?
Jiang Ying was shocked for a while, and suddenly heard Jin Mi on the second floor drunken and said: "Invite Miss Jiang upstairs, there are some words, this son wants to ask Miss Jiang in person-"
……
After Gu Zaili left Hua Changjing, she went straight to the second private room on the left hand side of the stairs on the second floor.
As soon as I came to the door, before I pushed the door in, I heard the noisy drunken laughter and scolding of the men through the door panel.
Lingxi Xiaoyuan was originally a clean place, but it was all tainted by this squirrel!
Gu Zaili scolded in her heart, and because she was in a bad mood, she unceremoniously pushed open the door.
As soon as the door was pushed open, there was a strong smell of wine and flesh coming to her nose, Gu Zaili frowned tightly, her eyes searched among the men who were wandering around, chasing the skeletons with wine glasses and jugs, and said angrily: "Deng Lungu! ”
"Hey, hey! Is it the second sister of the Deng family? ”
"Deng San Fat, your second sister is here!"
The untidy fat boy was pushed out by several young people in an unstable shape, and he was carrying an erhu that he found out of nowhere, his big round face was red, his eyes were very hard to open, and he had to score seven or eight points if he was drunk.
"Look at your virtue! Let Dad know, I'll have to punish you severely! Come home with me! Gu Zaili grabbed him by the collar and dragged people out.
"You...... Let go! The fat boy struggled away, frowned, and cursed with a big tongue: "What are you pulling me for!" Jin, Jin Dagongzi is still watching! Shame is not ashamed...... To go home, you go back by yourself! ”
"Where else is there a Jin prince!" Gu Zaili looked around and didn't see Jin Mi's figure, "Go back with me immediately!" ”
"I don't!"
The two sisters and brothers of the Deng family had a dispute, and a friend of the fat boy came forward to persuade him, saying: "Second sister Deng, you can spare Lungu this time, he just ate more wine, and he didn't cause trouble—but he also coaxed the eldest prince of Jin to be very happy!" The eldest prince of Jin went to the back to sober up, and he will return in about a moment, if he can't see Lungu when he comes back, don't you think we are rude? If you blame it, I'm afraid it won't be easy to do, right? ”
After he said this, Gu Zaili couldn't help but hesitate a little.
Although she is not used to Jin Mi's style, the identity of the other party is there, and it is indeed not something that their Deng family can offend.
But his younger brother is so drunk......
"If Second Sister Deng is not worried about Lungu, just hand him over to me, and the younger brother hereby assures you that after they disperse, they will personally send Lungu back to the house!" The young man slapped his chest, but he looked sober, but he didn't drink much.
Seeing this, the others also gathered around to persuade them.
"Then I'll leave this stinky boy in your care—" Gu Zaili finally compromised, and said, "But you have to watch carefully, don't let him get into trouble!" ”
"That's nature, that's nature!"
"Second Sister Deng, don't worry!"
After getting everyone's assurance, Gu Zaili told her younger brother again, and then she didn't want to stay in this smoky place for a while.
After leaving the box, I wanted to go back to Hua Changjing, but at the entrance of the stairs on the road, I stopped by a ghost.
After much hesitation, she walked towards the boy who was guarding the staircase.
"About half a pillar of incense, can you see the girl in the red dress with me passing by with a man who looks like an entourage?" Gu Zaili asked the waiter. (To be continued......)
