Chapter 23: Gangnam

"Miss Jiang."

The man, still wearing the clothes of the palace guards, hurriedly dismounted and read the holy decree.

"What is this?" Jiang Moxi knelt down in confusion and gave her the holy decree?

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said, the border is urgent, I can't bear to see the general not see his daughter getting married, and the special marriage period is postponed, so I admire this."

Jiang Moxi stretched out his hand to take the holy decree, originally said that he would wait for Jiang Mu to return to Beijing and then start preparing for marriage, this holy decree said that the border was in an emergency, and Jiang Mu, who had already arrived in the capital, had to turn around and go back to the bitter cold land of Xinjiang.

Obviously, if he was a little faster, or he could come in, he would be able to see Jiang Moxi who had been waiting at the gate of the city.

But I just left.

Jiang Moxi couldn't say what she felt in her heart now, she felt a little empty, she originally thought that she would be able to meet her long-awaited father today, but she didn't expect to be happy again in vain.

The emperor didn't want Jiang Mu not to see his only daughter getting married, so he sent her this holy decree, Jiang Moxi naturally had no objections, she also wanted Jiang Mu to watch her get married.

"If you let me meet my father, just meet me." He was silent for a long time holding the holy decree, and then opened his mouth with difficulty.

Didn't you say that you were already in the capital, it was always okay not to go back to the general's mansion to see you, if he didn't allow it, Jiang Moxi was ready to rush out of the capital by himself, and he would always be able to see him.

The guard couldn't bear to look at her expectant gaze, so he helped the person up from the ground, thinking about how to say it to make Jiang Moxi feel better, "Miss Jiang, it's not that your subordinates won't let you meet with the general, it's just that the general has already left." ”

After a pause, he said, "Actually, I left this afternoon, the emperor sent someone to the general's palace to send you a holy decree, but I didn't find you, so I knew that you waited at the city gate for an afternoon, although I was in a hurry this time, but my subordinates thought that it shouldn't take long for the general to come back again." ”

He can only persuade like this, if he puts himself in his shoes, he should only miss his father more than Jiang Moxi.

Jiang Moxi was disheartened and was about to ride back to the General's Mansion, but was stopped by the guards again.

"By the way, the subordinate forgot to tell you just now that although the general did not come back, he brought you a letter and a child, you wait here for a while, you should be here soon."

Hearing this, the first thing Jiang Moxi noticed was not the letter, but the one his father sent back, child?

After going on the expedition for so long, even a child was born?

Jiang Moxi's eyes were also seen by the guards, and he hurriedly explained, "It's not what you think, that kid heard that it was a little child that the general met on the side of the road when he was in a battle, and he was already five or six years old. ”

Hearing this, Jiang Moxi relieved herself, she was five or six years old, it couldn't be a child born to Jiang Mu and another woman, but even if it was, then she actually didn't have any ideas.

Since Emu brought people back, then take care of them yourself.

Jiang Moxi was waiting here, and the guards were also waiting with him, until there was a sound of cars outside the city, Jiang Moxi suddenly looked over, but only saw the horseman.

"Phew!"

Mavle Horse, first got out of the car and saluted Jiang Moxi, and then turned around and went to the side of the carriage, the night was too dark, Jiang Moxi couldn't see the inside of the carriage, only to see that the groom should have asked the people inside for something, and wanted to carry people down.

The latter should have been rejected, and the groom only stood respectfully on the side, waiting for the people inside to come out.

Jiang Moxi just watched, and the older child slowly got out of the carriage.

It's a little boy, not long enough to reach her waist height, although his appearance can be seen to be handsome in the future, but his facial features are not like Jiang Mu at all.

Jiang Moxi breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably, raised his feet and walked to the little boy's side, squatting down.

After getting out of the carriage just now, the boy stood there motionless, and when he saw Jiang Moxi, he didn't go over, nor did he speak, but only stood fixedly.

"Miss Jiang, this is a child picked up by the general on the battlefield, his name is Jiang Nan, his personality is withdrawn and he doesn't like to talk, but his temperament is very good, he is a good child."

Seeing Jiang Moxi coming over, the groom motioned to Jiang Moxi to talk to him about something, and only listened to the groom's earnest explanation for the child, afraid that Jiang Moxi would think that Jiang Nanxi didn't like her, so he wouldn't pay too much attention to Jiangnan.

"I know, this is the child brought back by my father, I will naturally take good care of him, don't worry."

From the groom's words, she also learned that after the child was picked up, the general had no time to take care of him when he went to the battlefield, so he was taken care of by this groom, so there was also affection.

Jiang Moxi sighed, indicating that he would treat this child well, and as soon as he turned around, he found Jiang Nan hiding next to the carriage, only showing his head, looking at her quietly.

The woman was so cute by this child that she interrupted the conversation with her mother, and walked over with her feet slowly, squatting down and looking at Jiang Nan, according to the groom, the child was just timid and recognized.

"Your name is Jiangnan, isn't it?" Jiang Moxi put his voice soft and soft, for fear of scaring this little guy.

Jiang Nan nodded almost uncheckably, and did not speak.

"Are you hungry when you arrive so late, go home with your sister, is it okay for my sister to cook food for Jiangnan?"

Jiang Moxi stretched out his hand and put it in front of Jiang Nan, waiting for Jiang Nan's action.

The little guy seemed to be a little hesitant, relying on the need to turn back to the groom, and seeing the groom nodding, he slowly put his hand on Jiang Moxi's hand.

Jiang Moxi, who saw Jiangnan's actions, smiled even more happily, she likes children herself, and the child sent back by Jiang Mu is still so cute at this time, so she naturally wants to take it back and pet it well.

At this time, the General's Mansion was brightly lit, and Mama Li and the others did not know the news that the general would not return, and the entire General's Mansion was full of joy.

Seeing that Jiang Moxi was back, Mama Li, who was guarding the door, hurriedly greeted her.

"Miss, are you back, General?"

looked behind Jiang Moxi, but did not see Jiang Mu's figure, and said suspiciously.

It stands to reason that Miss is back, the general shouldn't be so late, and besides, Mama Li shifted her gaze downward, this kid...

Looking at Mama Li's increasingly puzzled gaze, Jiang Moxi opened his mouth to explain, "Father is not coming back, Bendu is almost in the capital, but the border is in a hurry, and he went in a hurry, only to send back this child and a letter to me." ”

I was afraid that Mama Li would want to misunderstand like herself, "This child's name is Jiang Nan, and he is a child that his father picked up from the battlefield. ”

Mama Li also likes children, she grew up watching Jiang Moxi, and now there is a small one, and she happily stepped forward to see Jiangnan, but she didn't expect that the child who was obedient just now avoided Mama Li's hand and wanted to touch him, hiding behind Jiang Moxi and not coming out.

Mama Li was not annoyed, and said with a smile, "This child is quite afraid of birth." ”

beckoned Jiang Moxi to go back to his house again, since Jiang Mu didn't come back today, then these things were also withdrawn, but fortunately, I knew that Jiang Mu would come back later, and the meals he cooked were all hot, and he didn't need to reheat them.

Back in the bedroom, Jiang Moxi withdrew everyone and sat at the dinner table with Jiang Nan, she was afraid that Jiang Nan would not dare to eat when she saw so many people.

"What Jiangnan likes to eat, my sister will clip it for you."

Jiang Moxi held chopsticks and waited for Jiang Nan to speak.

"Sister, I won't pick it."

Jiang Nan glanced at the dishes on the table, then looked at Jiang Moxi and spoke softly.

The child's unique voice is so well-behaved, and under the reflection of the candlelight, Jiangnan's facial features look particularly exquisite, and Jiang Moxi's heart is almost melted when he sees it.

The frontier is bitterly cold, and the things I eat on weekdays are all thin soup and little water, and the little guys are used to eating them, so where will they pick.

This made Jiang Moxi feel distressed again, and hurriedly sandwiched all the good things on the table into the Jiangnan bowl, and the little guy couldn't even eat it, so he stopped.

After dinner, Jiang Moxi called someone to remove everything, Jiang Nan took out a letter from his arms, the little guy's hand was still too small, and he took an envelope bigger than his hand and handed it to Jiang Moxi.

On the envelope is written Mo Xi personally opened, which is Jiang Mu's handwriting.

Before Jiang Moxi opened the envelope, his nose was sour, and he had the urge to cry.

Hesitantly opened the letter, it was densely packed with words, and every stroke was full of Jiang Mu's thoughts and guilt about her, but if he knew that the person who saw this letter was her, not the original one, would he be sad and go crazy.

By the candlelight, Jiang Moxi read the letter slowly and solemnly, folded it well, stuffed it back into the envelope, and put it at the bottom of the jewelry box.

I felt a little cold on my face, and I didn't know where I saw it, and her tears couldn't be stopped.

Jiang Moxi just wanted to go to find a handkerchief to wipe his tears, but his face was covered by a fleshy little hand.

Jiang Nan should have done this kind of thing for the first time, and he was a little rusty and clumsy, holding Jiang Moxi's shoulder with one hand to prevent himself from falling, and holding a handkerchief with the other hand to wipe away the tears on Jiang Moxi's face.

There are still words in his mouth, "Sister, don't cry, Daddy misses you very much, he will tell me every day that he misses you very much." ”

Children still don't understand what they say, so they just say that.

The simple words that Jiang Moxi had to stop almost flowed out again, and Jiang Moxi was forced to hold back.

"Okay, sister doesn't cry." Jiang Moxi pulled out an awkward smile, rubbed Jiang Nan's head, and spoke in a slightly nasal voice.

Jiang Nan came to a strange place and didn't dare to sleep alone, so Jiang Moxi pulled him to sleep together, lying on the couch, Jiang Moxi asked softly.

"Jiangnan, do you remember your former relatives? Is it gone, or? ”

She didn't mean anything else when she asked, that is, if one day, Jiang Nan and they both had feelings, and at this time, a group of people who said that they were Jiangnan's relatives came to have children, and this kind of thing was not impossible.
