When I woke up, it was past noon.

Jia Qiang opened her somewhat puffy eyes and twisted her neck, which was a little sore due to her improper sleeping position.

"Huh?"

As soon as Jia Qiang twisted her neck and tilted her head to the side of the bed, she saw a girl in a soft silver light lily skirt, sitting quietly by the window.

Holding a needle punch in her hand, she slowly embroidered something......

But I don't know if she was too focused or distracted, Jia Qiang woke up, but she didn't find it.

Jia Qiang was not in a hurry, so she turned her face sideways, quietly looking at the girl who was shrouded in mist by the sunlight that penetrated the window screen in the afternoon.

A faint doubt floated in his heart, he had only come to Jiangnan for refuge to escape the monstrous waves that had unintentionally arisen in the capital.

Escorting the girl in front of me is just a last resort and can't refuse.

His heart also stopped at Jinmen.

Why, now that I have unknowingly boarded the Lin family's ship, even life and death are about to be tied together?

Is it because she cares about him?

But her concern for him is only because of her kindness.

Was it her help to him?

Perhaps, without her help, how could his father have been impressed by him?

Without the help of her and her father, he would have spent more than ten times as much energy and time as he does today if he wanted to open up the situation in Yangzhou.

Thinking of this, Jia Qiang suddenly remembered a word:

Beauty is gracious.

Although in the education received in the previous life, the word faith has long been missing.

Even the word integrity has faltered.

However, the virtue of dripping water and reciprocating with springs still seems to be flowing in the blood of our nation and has never faded.

Perhaps, this has something to do with the fact that our people are living too hard......

However, no matter what, at least here in Jia Qiang, he is a human being, and he will not treat everyone who has helped him lightly.

Especially those who really helped him......

Why did he treat Xue Pan differently, in addition to the fact that Xue Jiafeng's name itself is of great use, it is because Xue Pan helped him at the beginning, just because he felt that others were not bad, so he did it easily.

Although it is just a convenient one, it does not contain any utilitarian color, and Jia Qiang naturally remembers this kind of help.

And others, such as Feng Ziying of the Shenwu General's Mansion, such as Wang Shouzhong of Hengsheng Buxing, such as Hua'an of the Huai'an Hou Mansion, befriended them, in a sense, they all have the color of utilitarian transactions, so Jia Qiang will intersect emotionally, point to the end, where the boundary is, and distinguish clearly.

After coming to Yangzhou, Xu Zhen helped him, although he only said a fair word.

Lin Ruhai helped him, Aunt Mei helped him, and the Qi family has also helped him now......

But all of these people, to a greater or lesser extent, have something else in mind.

Including Lin Ruhai and Aunt Mei.

Of course, they didn't have malicious intentions, and Jia Qiang was genuinely grateful to them.

It's just that compared with the sincerity of the girl in front of her, which is as clear as crystal, it is different after all.

"Ahem...... What do you see? ”

Daiyu didn't know when she stopped the female red in her hand, turned her head to look at Jia Qiang, and saw that he was stunned when she looked at her, her pretty face was flying, she endured it for a long time, and finally couldn't help it, and asked after coughing.

Jia Qiang came back to her senses, but she was not embarrassed, he smiled, and said, "You are still strangely interesting, are you so good-looking, and you are not allowed to be seen?" ”

Daiyu's heart jumped when she heard this, her face was hot at first, and then her face sank again, and she said, "Brother Qiang, you dare to disrespect me?" I'm going to tell Daddy! ”

Jia Qiang sighed, turned her head over, put her hands behind her head, looked at the carvings on the roof beams, curled the corners of her mouth and smiled: "Aunt Lin's words are too hurtful, if I don't respect you, what am I busy with these days?" Isn't it because I respect you too much and don't want you to worry about my uncle's body, so I run more errands and work hard? Who knows, I would have lit the moon in my heart, but the bright moon regarded me as a ditch. ”

"Phew!"

When Daiyu heard this, she was still worried that Jia Qiang was really sad, and after hearing his last two crooked sentences in a long tone, she put her heart down and sneered: "You are becoming more and more naughty, it was only when you were a stable person, who knows, who knows that it is becoming more and more different now." ”

Jia Qiang sighed and asked casually, "What is Aunt Lin embroidering?" ”

Seeing that he was so annoying, Daiyu always changed the topic as she wanted, stared at Jia Qiang and snorted, but still replied: "I didn't embroider anything, but I just saw that everyone has a purse for it, and you are pitiful, so I embroidered one, just to pass the time." ”

Jia Qiang put down her arms, raised her neck and glanced at a cyan purse held in Daiyu's hand, embroidered with green bamboo on the eaves, delicate and fresh, so she smiled: "Excellent, excellent, with this elegance, the purse contains gold and silver vulgar things, which can also offset the cheesiness." ”

Daiyu glanced at him, stepped forward and handed him the purse, seeing that although he still had a lazy smile on his face, the tiredness between his eyebrows and eyes was still clearly visible, and after hesitating, she said softly: "Brother Qiang, you saved my father, and now you are working hard for him, I haven't thanked you yet." ”

Jia Qiang smiled, took the purse from Daiyu's hand, looked at it carefully, shook it in his hand, and said, "This, it's enough as a thank you gift." ”

Daiyu shook her head slowly, looked at Jia Qiang with black and white starry eyes, and said: "Auntie said, you are a good minister appointed by the Emperor Taishang, and it is because of this that my father and the prince of the middle of the mountain want you to be a knife and cut through the difficult situation in Jiangnan for them." When you come forward and stand in front, they are much lighter. It's just that it's hard to do both things in the world, and it's easier for them, but you have to be hated by the powerful behind you. Brother Qiang, you will complain about me, it is because of me that the old lady asked you to come to Yangzhou......"

Seeing Daiyu's faintly red eyes blaming herself, Jia Qiang laughed softly: "Aunt Lin, you think a little lightly about your aunt and grandfather-in-law and Han Banshan. Although they did take advantage of me, because my appearance did relieve some pressure on my uncle and Han Banshan, but they did not do it for their personal fame and fortune. Even if they have this kind of thinking, the original intention of their promotion is not for the sake of high-ranking officials, on the contrary, they are asking for hardship, because what they are doing is something that I don't even want to think about.

As for me, compared with them, I am much more petty and can't sacrifice myself for the country and the people, but I can still bear some hatred and share some pressure for them. Especially my grandparents, he is not only my parent, but also my teacher. In the future, I will also take a dip under his big tree.

So Aunt Lin, you don't have to think about it. If you really let my grandfather boil it these days, his body and bones will inevitably be affected, and his body will be damaged, and at that time there will be a time for you to cry when you see the sky. Right now...... It's okay to just laugh secretly. ”

"Phew!"

Jia Qiang's righteousness washed away the guilt in Daiyu's heart, and then listening to him joke like this, Daiyu said angrily: "I really don't know the hearts of good people!" When I came back, I told my father to let him assign you more so that you could share more and bear more. At that point, I had nothing to laugh at. ”

Jia Qiang said "yo", raised her hand and admitted: "I'm ambushed, Aunt Lin can spare me...... Are you willing to do this kind of thing? Let me tell you, this kind of thing is just pulling the tiger skin as a banner, and the fox is fake and the tiger is the dog fighting the human power, which is not interesting at all, I ...... What happened to you? ”

Seeing that Daiyu suddenly embroidered a handkerchief to cover her face, a pair of thin fragrant shoulders trembled and trembled, so she asked helplessly.

Unexpectedly, when he asked, Daiyu trembled even more, stopped suddenly, did not put down the handkerchief, turned around and walked to the table in a few steps, and continued to lie on the table......

Jia Qiang was helpless, lay down again, and waited for others to finish laughing.

After a long while, I saw Lin Daiyu raise her head with a red face, her eyes were like water, and she looked at Jia Qiang panting and said, "Dog...... Dog fights? ”

Jia Qiang shook her head and sighed, and said compassionately: "Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs." In the universe, you and I are just dogs...... What's so funny? ”

Daiyu looked at Jia Qiang with a strange face, and said, "You...... How do you interpret this sentence? You...... Do you still want to take the exam?! ”

It was difficult to say all the words, and after hiding his face with an embroidered handkerchief and laughing twice, he suddenly removed the handkerchief, and glared at Jia Qiang with a blushing face: "You did it on purpose!" ”

Jia Qiang pretended to be puzzled: "What is it deliberate? ”

On Daiyu's pretty face, the corners of her mouth curved slightly, but she still said seriously: "Deliberately make people laugh, you treat me as a stupid Xiangling!" ”

Jia Qiangqi said: "It's not good to make people laugh, so I make you cry every day?" ”

Daiyu sneered: "Do you think you can make me cry?" ”

A strange and smug smile appeared on Jia Qiang's face, raised her eyebrows, and did not speak.

This virtue made Dai Yu grit her teeth angrily, took a step closer, and said with majesty in her starry eyes that seemed to contain morning dew: "What bad thoughts do you have, how do you want to make me cry, say it quickly, otherwise you should be careful!" ”

Jia Qiang raised her eyebrows again, smiled hehe, and said, "Give you a punch a day, and I guarantee that you will cry!" Hahaha! ”

Daiyu looked at him expressionlessly, then silently turned around, walked to the wall, and then removed the wild duck feather duster hanging on it......

Jia Qiang said "ouch", quickly got up and folded her hands and begged for mercy: "Good aunt, I was wrong, I was wrong, I shouldn't laugh with you." If Aunt Lin asks me again in the future, I promise not to tell a joke. ”

Daiyu looked sideways and said, "Do you really know it's wrong?" ”

Jia Qiang Zhengse promised: "I know, I know, how can I give you a punch every day, and I have to give you a punch every three or five times...... Hahaha! ”

Before he finished speaking, he laughed and ran away.

"Brother Qiang, you stand for me!"

Dai Yuqi's pretty face turned red, and she chased after her with a wild duck feather duster.

Jia Qiang jumped out of the room and ran outside under the verandah, but stopped without taking two steps.

He raised his hands and walked back, and said to Lin Daiyu who chased him: "Okay, okay, I'm down, Aunt Lin will spare me this time." ”

Daiyu shook the wild duck feather duster in her hand, and said with a smile: "I can't spare you today!" ”

Jia Qiang said with a smile: "It's easy to beat and scold, let's go first." ”

Dai Yuqi said: "Can't fight here?" Do you want to pick a feng shui treasure? ”

Jia Qiang laughed softly: "It's too cold outside, Aunt Lin is carefully caught cold and dyed with wind cold, let's go in." ”

“……”

Daiyu was stunned when she heard this, and looked at Jia Qiang quietly.

Jia Qiang smiled, stretched out her hand, and said, "Please!" ”

Daiyu pursed her lips and smiled, glanced at him, turned around and entered the room, followed by Jia Qiang......

At the end of the verandah, Xiangling hid behind the gable, thought about it in embarrassment, and finally decided not to go in and disturb it......

Moreover, you can't let Zijuan come!

Thinking of this, she simply walked to Daiyu's room and went to talk to Zijuan for a while.

She didn't like to be stubborn with Zijuan, so she went to find Lin Chu to play tricks, but at this moment, she was going to go to the soup for Jia Qiang!

Xiangling's figure is faintly tragic!
