Shen Congqian brought the sweet soup he made himself to pick up the star tower. This time, she didn't force Nalan Jinxiu to listen to the lives of those sons who came to propose, but intentionally or unintentionally mentioned Jinling.

Nalan Jinxiu didn't doubt him, she only thought that she had been out for a long time and missed her homeland. In fact, she doesn't miss it, after all, it is the place where she grew up, and she is homesick, which is inevitable.

"It's almost the Begging Festival, and when the time comes, there will be many people going to put river lanterns on the edge of the moat, and that scene is beautiful. Shen Congqian was full of longing, and then asked with some gossip: "Have you ever let it go?"

"Nope. ”

"Why not?"

"There are a lot of people. She remembers the day when the moat would be crowded. Daddy and Auntie always say that every few years there will be people who fall into the river because of crowding, although the people in Jinling City are well versed in water, but it is not very good to look wet up. So, although she was curious, she didn't participate once.

"Then you don't know what everyone puts the river lantern for, right?"

"Didn't you say you could make a wish?"

"Well, it is said that on the day of the begging festival, the daughter's house puts a river lantern, and sincerity will move the river god, and there will be a response. ”

Nalan Jinxiu was amused by Shen Congqian's pious appearance: "Could it be that you still believe this?"

Girls always have a wonderful expectation of love in their hearts, so they rush to put the river lanterns. ”

Nalan Jinxiu thought that marriage is somewhat predetermined and somewhat artificial. Who you will meet in your destiny and whether you will like him or not is providential, and how much you can pay for it, and whether you are willing to give everything to wait, this is man-made. The two are indispensable, and where can a river lamp achieve it?

"You grew up in Ji Mansion since you were a child, and you should be very familiar with Ji Ge, so do you know that he is the object of many girls in Jinling City?"

Nalan Jinxiu nodded, she knew this. Every time he appeared in the market with him, there would be groups of little girls looking at him. But it's just a matter of private admiration, and there seems to be no one else who can really chase after him on the bright side, except for Cheng Ruosu.

Shen Congqian didn't know if it was intentional or a coincidence, but he just talked about Cheng Ruosu. It's nothing more than those talented women who are very compatible. I don't know how many people have said this, Nalan Jinxiu heard it so that her ears were almost calloused, and she would mind at first, but after a long time, she became insensitive.

What's more, she has nothing to do with the third brother now, not to mention that he has no feelings for Cheng Ruosu, even if they are really happy, what does it have to do with her? No matter how uncomfortable she is, she is not qualified to mind. And the status of the ninth princess is noble, how can Cheng Ruosu be compared.

Shen Congqian was already testing her, and seeing that her face was calm, she really looked disheartened with Ji Hongye, and her heart was a little more peaceful. Lang is affectionate, and the concubine has no intention, so she is easy to start. If the two really have a good relationship and have the same heart, then she just wants to separate, and I'm afraid there is no chance.

"I received a letter from home yesterday, talking about the marriage of the ninth princess, but I'm afraid it's ......"

Nalan Jinxiu's eyebrows furrowed, and he couldn't help asking, "What?"

"The news that Qin Tianjian came out said that Ji Ge Lao and the Ninth Princess did not agree, and if it was light, the husband and wife would not be harmonious, and if it was serious, it would affect the fortunes of the country, and I am afraid that this marriage will be over. ”

Nalan Jinxiu didn't have a taste in her heart, she thought that the ninth princess would marry the third brother, after all, it was a holy marriage, royal majesty, who would dare to refuse. But if this marriage is really going to be annulled, then ...... The third brother......

Shen Congqian looked at Nalan Jinxiu's blank eyes, and what was in his heart gradually became clear. The calm she had just now was all faked, but in fact, she was thinking about Ji Hongye in her heart. When she wanted to see it clearly, she saw that Nalan Jinxiu's eyes had become dim again, as if what she said had nothing to do with her.

Shen Congqian knew that a person like Xu Jinsheng, who was born with supreme glory, was very proud in his bones. She used to be in love with Ji Hongye, but in the end, because of the marriage given by the saint, she became the superfluous one. said that she left, it is better to say that Ji Hongye chose the former between the ninth princess and her, which is a knot for ordinary people, let alone a proud daughter like her?

"You better go back and rest, I want to be alone for a while. "Nalan Jinxiu is starting to pick people up.

Shen Congqian naturally will not leave his face dead. Moreover, the purpose of her coming today was to leave a seed of doubt in Nalan Jinxiu's heart, making her think that Ji Hongye was retreating because she had no chance with the Ninth Princess. Now that she has figured out what Nalan Jinxiu is thinking, she also has a plan, and she has to think about it when she goes back, and she must deploy the countermeasures before Ji Hongye and his party arrive in Northern Xinjiang.

Shen Congqian left, and Nalan Jinxiu's ears were completely quiet, but his heart was a mess. At this time, Ruyi came over and poured her a cup of hot tea, and her tone was not good: "I don't know what kind of heart our lady has?" The county lord should not listen to her nonsense, the third young master has a deep affection for you, and when he asked you to return to the northern Xinjiang, it was also because of the marriage given by the saint, he was afraid of hurting you, so he did that. Now, he's on his way ......"

"Ruyi, where did you put the tea leaves after making tea?" Before Ruyi's words could be finished, he was interrupted by Ji Xiang.

Nalan Jinxiu glanced at Jixiang lightly, and said to Ruyi: "You go on, ignore her." Whoever is on the way here, you will make it clear to me. ”

Ruyi also realized that he had lost his words, poked there, and couldn't say a word. Nalan Jinxiu had no choice but to go to see Jixiang again, and saw that Jixiang was busy wiping the vase at hand, so he said: "That's not the job you should do, since you don't let Ruyi say it, then you say it." ”

Jixiang was questioned by her like this, and suddenly panicked, and with a shake of his hand, the vase fell to the ground and shattered. She lowered her head and said, "The slave and maid are clumsy and break things, so the slave and maid will clean up." ”

"Don't move!" Nalan Jinxiu's voice became more stern: "These fragments will be cleaned up in a while, I'm asking you, are you planning to never answer?"

"The slave didn't dare. ”

"Don't you dare? I don't think there's anything you don't dare to do. Now tell me, 'Who are you?"

Ji Xiang Ruyi saw that she was really angry, and knelt in front of her side by side.

Nalan Jinxiu saw that the two of them lowered their heads, but they still didn't plan to tell her the truth, and suddenly became even more angry. She pointed at the two of them and said, "Since you don't want to say it, then let me tell you, you are the people who the third brother planted beside me, aren't you?"

Ji Xiang Ruyi didn't answer, but his head hung lower. Nalan Jinxiu had already understood their acquiescence, she was sitting on the chair, but now her fingers were tightly gripping the armrests on both sides of the chair, and her face was ugly.

When she left Jinling, her whole heart was almost not herself, as if it was frozen through by sharp ice. She tried to struggle out, but she was stabbed with a thousand holes. It hurts and it hurts, it hurts and it hurts, it can't struggle, it can't melt, it can't do both.

She struggled to hold on, and only in front of auspicious Ruyi did she dare to show a little bit of vulnerability.

But now that I think about it, how ridiculous she was, and she was abandoned, and she still had to be tormented by the memories of the past, and she had to show the eyes and ears that the man had planted beside her, and then it reached the ears of that person, and it all became a joke.

She was suddenly furious. As a human being in two lives, what she hates most is abandonment and betrayal, because she has suffered in this area, and in the end she even took her life. So, she desperately needs someone who can make herself feel safe. That's why she cherishes everyone who is good to her so much. For Mu Li, it is even more auspicious.

But why did she forget, auspicious Ruyi, she was the maid of the Ji family, and she only served her on the orders of her grandmother, and she had no friendship with her. Or, there is a little affection, but it still can't compare to their master.

"Let's go out!" Nalan Jinxiu stood up and walked to the bed, she was a little sleepy and wanted to sleep for a while.

Ji Xiang Ruyi has been with her for so long, and he also understands her temperament. In the past, no matter how big the trouble was, she didn't really get angry with them. And now, she's really angry. She is like this, she doesn't want to say anything when she is angry, and she looks very lazy, as if she wants to hibernate.

"County Lord......"

"Get out. ”

"County lord, listen to the slave maid's explanation. The reason why the slave maid agreed to tell the third young master about your every move is that the third young master is sincere to you, and you ......"

Jixiang had to explain in a hurry that she was really afraid that the county lord would be angry, not that she was worried about what she would do to her and Jixiang Ruyi. Instead, I was worried that she was angry with herself. She is almost in her early days, and at this time she is most afraid of getting angry, otherwise she will have a stomachache. The county lord will be in unbearable pain every time he is small, and the climate in northern Xinjiang is cold and cold, and her current problem is even worse, and she can suffer less by careful maintenance.

"Get out!" Nalan Jinxiu lay down with her back to the outside, she didn't want to hear their explanations now, or even to hear their voices.

Ji Xiang Ruyi didn't want to go out, but she was afraid of making her even more angry, so she had to stay outside the door one left and one right. Thinking that the county lord would not be angry for a while, and when they needed to serve, they could still react immediately.

Nalan Jinxiu closed her eyes, she wanted to sleep for a while, because her heart was so chaotic, she needed to be quiet, she needed to think about it. But there is something in my heart, and it is not so easy to fall asleep.

Although Ruyi didn't finish what she said just now, she also knew that the third brother must have come. If his marriage to the Ninth Princess was really as Shen Congqian said, it was only a few days ago. Did he really come here for her in such a hurry? She didn't doubt it at all, but now she wasn't sure.
