As soon as Bang Yue's feet landed, he was swept back again and again by a strong force before he could stand firmly, and Jiang Xiaoxiao was the only one who dared to be so arrogant and unscrupulous.

Sure enough, the girl in red was so angry that the corners of her eyes were pink, and there was a faint coldness in the moonlight: "Wen Bangyue, you are so bold, you dare to calculate me." ”

Bang Yue knew that Xue Wan was a smart person, she didn't expect it at the time, but now that she comes back to her senses, she probably understands what is going on.

Jiang Xiaoxiao. Jiang Zhongrong spit out a sentence in a low voice: "Do you really think I dare not beat you?" ”

"Brother, it was she who deliberately framed my mother."

Jiang Zhongrong saw that Xue Wan's mother and daughter were unhappy, and it was not a day or two days, at this moment, seeing Bang Yue being beaten, he couldn't bear to make his forehead bruises jump, if it weren't for his good cultivation that he never beat women, he really wanted to go up at this moment.

So even if he didn't say anything, he stopped Bang Yue behind him, and the meaning of protection was very obvious.

Bang Yue raised her hand and rubbed her cheek, it didn't seem to be solid, but the palm wind scratched her cheek painfully, so she licked her mouth and smiled happily: "Why did Miss come here." ”

Jiang Xiaoxiao stared at her viciously: "Of course I'm here to beat you slut, why did you hurt my mother, my mother said that you must have painted that thing." ”

"What's that?"

"Of course it's the lead white."

Bang Yue said in surprise: "Although I haven't done it, I'm really curious why Miss thinks it's me, I have no grievances with the eldest lady and Aunt Lan, not only that, that thing was mixed into the dye and used for painting, isn't it that Miss thinks that painting was made by me?" ”

Jiang Xiaoxiao was choked up, her face was blue and white, and she was stunned for a long time before she could hold back a sentence: "But my mother said ......"

"Then you listen to her."

Jiang Zhongrong interrupted her, glanced at her coldly, and pulled Bang Yue away.

Jiang Xiaoxiao was so angry that she jumped behind her, but no one knew.

Back in the courtyard, Jiang Zhongrong took out a bunch of medicine from under the bed and smeared it on her.

However, she disliked it: "Will you be, why don't I think it's not?" ”

"Less nonsense, will I have suffered fewer injuries before? I drugged it myself, but that woman actually dared to hit you. ”

Saying that, Jiang Zhongrong's eyes flashed a trace of gloom, and the loss flashed, even if Bang Yue saw it, he didn't go to investigate, but said: "It's the eldest lady's temper, it's not very painful, after all, this matter is successful, no matter what, your father will definitely have some ideas in his heart, what we need is time, you learn the ways of those predecessors, it will always be useful for doing business." ”

Jiang Zhongrong heard that there was something else in her words, and asked, "Are you going out these days?" ”

"It's the beginning of spring, Yuluo Pavilion is busy, Sister Haitang needs manpower, so I'm going to help for two days."

When Bang Yue left Yuluo Pavilion, Yu Haitang was very reasonable, not only agreed, but also gave her some entanglement, only said: "In fact, from the first time I saw you, I felt that you were extraordinary and vulgar, and it was not suitable to be blinded here. ”

said that Bang Yue almost cried, but in the end she smiled and said goodbye to everyone, saying that as long as she was free, she would help.

Jiang Zhongrong nodded when he heard this, and put the ointment down.

It's just that Bang Yue didn't know that the sprout of resentment in his heart began to grow gradually.

In the sixth year of the Apocalypse, on the ninth day of the third month of late spring, the warm sun in the east and the big water in the west, all things in the world recovered, which is a good season for spring.

Before that, after Bang Yue instructed the people in the courtyard to take care of Jiang Zhongrong's things, she hurriedly ran to the back garden, wanting to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the wind blowing the begonia flowers.

It's just that I just arrived there, and I saw Master Jiang sitting in the middle of the pavilion playing chess by himself, and there was a small servant waiting next to him, but he didn't say a word, which was very boring.

When Bang Yue was about to turn around and leave, she was stopped by Master Jiang: "Little girl, come here." ”

After making sure that there was no one around, only herself, she walked over quickly and saluted: "Master." ”

Master Jiang stopped patronizing to play chess, turned his head and said to the little guy: "Go and put on the food box rack, and then let the kitchen prepare some tea and snacks." ”

This look is for herself, but Bang Yue was taken aback, no matter how she says that her current identity is also a maid, it is unreasonable.

But Master Jiang ignored her crampedness and asked, "If you sit opposite me, I won't eat you, will you play chess?" ”

"Yes."

"Then sit down, don't be nervous, I'm just idle, I want to find someone to play chess with me, and it just so happens that you are here."

Bang Yue heard the easy-going in his voice, and gradually relaxed, under the old man's gaze, slowly sat down, and looked at the overall situation, and found that the pattern of this chess piece was very interesting, so she became interested.

Seeing this, Master Jiang threw a chess piece to her with his sleeves and asked, "What do you think of this chess game?" ”

"Take the right step, but there is still no way to live, but if you take the wrong step, it will be a dead end."

Master Jiang showed a surprised expression, and then raised his hand: "You come, if you win against me, the monthly money will be doubled this month." ”

Bang Yue couldn't help twitching the corners of her mouth, how could her little fox win an old fox, although she thought so, she still landed a chess piece, in the other party's air, it seemed that it was a sheep into the tiger's den, but it blocked one on the other party's way of life.

Master Jiang turned his admiring gaze again, nodded with satisfaction, and intercepted it with white chess.

Bang Yue remembered the crystal chess game she saw in Gu Mansion that day, although she only glanced at it, she probably had an impression that it seemed to be a chessboard of life and death.

Why?

What kind of chess game can touch the mechanism and give them the answers they want?

Bang Yue's eyes fell on the chess game, and she saw that her "eldest son" was about to intercept Master Jiang's "stand", so that the opponent's life door was completely blocked, but she was surrounded by the white chess that extended under Master Jiang and lost.

Master Jiang laughed, thinking that he was also nervous, and picked up the tea on the side and drank it.

Bang Yue laughed awkwardly, biting the mung bean cake silently.

"Not bad, little girl, I didn't expect you to play chess well, my old man almost fell in love with you."

"The master has won the award, in fact, before I came to Jiang's Mansion, I was Mr. Excerpt in the theater, when I wasn't writing plays, I learned everything, and over time I would learn more things."

"Oh?" Master Jiang asked curiously: "You used to write plays in the courtyard?" So how can you live in that kind of place......"

Bang Yue talked about the past, full of emotion, and saw that Master Jiang was also interested in listening to the story, so he opened the chatterbox: "Hey, life is compelling, I used to be very proud of myself in the theater, and I was still very proud of the ...... in the theater" said, and then the story of the theater was completely nagged.

"It's also to blame me for my straight temperament before, and I always acted in a momentary majesty, but in the end I was harmed by pride, so I can't blame them."

Master Jiang couldn't help but feel some sympathy for her: "Now the world is chaotic, and people's hearts are unpredictable. But it's not a bad thing that you're gone, people always have to go through something to grow up. Ay? I see that your behavior is also good, presumably your family background should be okay, why don't you stay at home honestly and wait for your parents to match? ”

Bang Yue has not spoken to her for too long, and Master Jiang is like an elder of hers, so that she can unscrupulously say something that has been buried in her heart for a long time.

"My family used to be rich and wealthy, but then because my father didn't marry the right person, my family was lonely." Bang Yue said, glanced at Master Jiang, "My biological mother died early, my father was a father and a mother, I was very blessed before the age of five, but since my stepmother passed the door, my father has changed, he often fights with his stepmother, and he is very ruthless, my stepmother was born very beautiful, although I was scared at that time, but I will desperately protect her, I even think my father is a bad person...... Later, my aunt told me that my father did it with her because she was not good to me. But I was young at the time, and I didn't think it would be good for me to skip meals or stand on penalties...... Later, the way she treated me changed, and she often punished me for not eating before I finished my schoolwork, or whipped me with wicker if I was disobedient, I didn't think it was harsh when I was a child, and when I grew up, I felt how much she didn't like me before. ”

Master Jiang gasped, his eyes full of displeasure: "Then your stepmother is too rampant, and your father can't control it?" ”

"A few years later, my stepmother gave birth to a younger brother, and she was very troublesome, so my father got used to it and didn't care. You said, on one side is your daughter, and on the other side is your wife, which side do you give? Of course, he gave up his daughter, and his wife originally valued money before marrying in. When I was eleven or twelve years old, my father's business continued to lose money, and my stepmother liked luxury, so she forced my father to change the big house, and also changed the Baoding car and horse, and my father's capital chain broke in order to support her. My stepmother felt that she had lost her marriage, disgusted that my father was incompetent, and was angry with me all the time, and she was not worth it for herself. You say, you are my father, who do you choose? There is a beloved wife who always thinks about reconciliation and separation, and this side is just a daughter, after all, the daughter is her own from beginning to end. ”

Master Jiang lamented and didn't speak, and Bang Yue continued.

"My father really loves my stepmother, in addition to bullying me, he still loves my stepmother very much, and he never spends money softly, but then he is still in the middle of the family, and he slowly loses the momentum of his youth, and even if he knows many things, he is powerless. I sometimes hate my father, but looking at his tired lamentation and old countenance, I pity him, who is to blame......"

Speaking of this, Wen Bangyue couldn't help sighing, her father was very strong before, but people often want a peaceful life when they reach middle age, and their temperament is also a lot gentler, so they often accommodate their wives for the sake of the family, but what happened later? What you get is still an inch, and the tiger falls in Pingyang and is bullied by dogs.

She knew that her father was not easy, and it was difficult to walk, so she didn't want to embarrass him more often, and would rather suffer some of her own.

Master Jiang frowned: "I didn't expect you to have such an easy time, I thought that your lively personality should be a harmonious family and a happy childhood." ”

Bang Yue spoke, and snorted when she heard the words: "It's just that I've experienced society, I'm used to accidents, and I've figured it out when I grow up, and besides, she doesn't like me anymore, and she can't bully me at will." She saw that I can earn money now, and her temperament has gradually improved, and sometimes her love for me is really like a mother's posture. If I hadn't told you these words today, I would have forgotten those tragic pasts......"

Bang Yue said and suddenly laughed, like a spring breeze but also distressing, "Actually, this parent is very important to the child, I have always felt that I have healed very well, and I feel that I am a sound person, but you don't know, today and now...... I have to sleep by the lamp at night, because as soon as the lights go out, I feel endless fear and panic, I am afraid of crying in the night, I am afraid of the dark wood house, I am afraid of hunger in the night...... As soon as the lights go out, an endless sense of insecurity surrounds me, and if I don't turn on the lights, I will only have insomnia all night...... I was really afraid that when I was a child, my stepmother broke in late at night and pulled me up from the bed to carry my daughter's rules, alas, it was really uncomfortable. ”

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.

Master Jiang quietly wiped the corners of his eyes, he suddenly felt that Bang Yue's life experience was so similar to his own son, he remembered that Xue Wan had not been in front of the door, he and Die'er took Jiang Zhongrong, who was half a little older, as well as his mother and father, and there were often laughter and laughter in the house, how much Xiao Zhongrong relied on himself at that time, the father and son were sleeping with each other, holding each other, and even feeding themselves when they ate.

At that time, he really spoiled Jiang Zhongrong as a pearl in the palm of his hand.

And then? Later, when Xue Wan got started, he gave half of the love he gave to Jiang Zhongrong to Xue Wan, and later, Die'er made Xue Wan angry, and almost died of heavy bleeding when she gave birth to Jiang Xiaoxiao, so he felt so guilty about her that she became more and more indulgent.

was so indulged that he listened to his subordinates say how Xue Wan abused Jiang Zhongrong, and he also turned a blind eye, as long as the matter was not serious, he pretended not to know.

Master Jiang often thought to himself; Men should be self-reliant, the tribulations of small winds and waves are nothing, and he also hopes that his son can be self-reliant and able to bear it, but love is in the wrong way.

Gradually, like Bang Yue's father, he forgot or got used to it, that woman bullied his child, and he even forgot that Jiang Zhongrong was his favorite son, and his biological mother Dieniang was also the woman he loved.

After listening to what happened to Bang Yue, Master Jiang suddenly felt that her stepmother was like Xue Wan, and her father was like ignoring himself.

Is Jiang Zhongrong also like Bang Yue, frightened in the middle of the night, and must sleep with the lamp in hand?

Thinking of this, Master Jiang felt a little distressed in his heart, like a silkworm cocoon, slowly surrounding his heart.

"Sir." Bang Yue called twice to no avail, then reached out and snapped his fingers in front of him: "Master! ”

Master Jiang blinked slowly, and seemed to come back to his senses: "Hmm! I'm listening. ”

Bang Yue sat up straight, and said: "Then the old man asked me if I would like to come, in fact, I don't need to come, I can still have food and clothing outside, you also know that I can mix in Yuluo Pavilion, and I have to rely on myself wherever I go...... But. She lowered her head deeply, her eyelashes fluttering, "But in the past, I once came to your house with the shopkeeper to send a velvet hairpin to the master's mother, and I saw Xiao Rong being pressed into the water tank by the master's mother, and the subordinates all watched, watching their young master being bullied, and treating him like that...... If it were me, I would definitely fight with her desperately, even if my father scolded me, I would beat her! But Xiao Rong won't fight back at all, such a clever child, being bullied by your wife is scared...... So I want to protect Xiaorong, I want to protect the former me, as soon as you ask me, I agreed without hesitation. ”

"Protect Banyan?"

"Yes, don't you think that Xiao Rong's background is very similar to mine? We are friends, when I was in trouble, he also helped me, often sent food to my family, even if it was a peach blossom cake that he was reluctant to eat, he had to leave it for me to eat, we have both close friendship and brothers, he was sorry for me, and I should treat him with all sincerity. ”

Master Jiang's upper lip touched his lower lip, and he didn't know what to remember, so he smiled: "You little girl, eccentric, you used to teach my old man a lesson here, what's wrong?" Fighting for Xiaorong? ”

"No, no." Bang Yue hurriedly denied: "How dare I tell the master, it's just to talk about what happened to me, I said too much, and I asked the master to punish me." ”

Master Jiang waved his hand very generously: "I asked, and I also asked you to play chess, and punishing you doesn't show that I am very unkind, who will dare to play chess with me in the future, but your words have really benefited me a lot, Xiao Rong can get to know you, I am really happy for him." ”

The last sentence was a high degree of recognition of her, which couldn't help but make her heart move, and she got up and said: "Thank you, Master." ”

"Don't be polite, it's not early this day, the begonia petals have fallen to the ground, it's time to find someone to clean them." Master Jiang said, slowly getting up: "I should also go back to feeding." ”

Bang Yue was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that Master Jiang had raised a parrot.

Then he smiled playfully: "Then the old man wants to play chess next time, and when someone knows about it, Bang Yue will come." ”

Master Jiang pointed at her, withdrew his hand and left, but the smile in his eyes was about to overflow.

Bang Yue was still smiling, but when she saw his fatherly doting smile, she thought of her father, who she hadn't seen for a long time, and immediately couldn't laugh, and went back to her senses with interest.

When she finished collecting the chess pieces, she heard the ancient bell of Songshan Temple ringing three times in the distance.

Jiang Zhongrong thought the same way, and planned to go out to find Bang Yue, who had been missing for an afternoon, to play with him, but he didn't expect the little girl to take a step faster, and he called first when he entered the gate of Long Academy: "Young Master, the master is looking for you." ”

"Study?"

"Xianyun Pavilion."

Xianyun Pavilion is a good place to watch the moon, usually Jiang Zhongrong never goes, and he will not go with Master Jiang, not to mention that this time Master Jiang took the initiative to invite him to go, he always felt strange in his heart, and began to guess what he wanted him to do in the past.

On the way to follow the little guy, I happened to meet Bang Yue who came back, and when Bang Yue heard him say this, she smiled meaningfully and patted him on the shoulder: "You go quickly." ”

Jiang Zhongrong glanced at her suspiciously: "Why do I always think that your smile is obscene, it's nothing good." ”

Bang Yue almost choked in her throat in one breath, and rolled her eyes: "You are living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain." ”

"Then you go with me."

"Just go."

It's just that Bang Yue went, but the little guy below stopped her, saying that the father and son wanted to talk considerately, and it was inconvenient for outsiders to be present.

Jiang Zhongrong had no choice but to climb up to Xianyun Pavilion by himself, and after sitting down, he looked down and found that Bang Yue was scratching his ears and cheeks, probably catching mosquitoes in early spring.

"What are you looking at?" Master Jiang suddenly asked.

Jiang Zhongrong suddenly retracted his attention and said in a low voice: "Back to my father, it's nothing." ”

But because of his actions and words, Master Jiang felt like he was suddenly stabbed by a needle, and his heart suddenly sank, and he was extremely distressed.

When did his favorite son become so restrained in front of him.
