Chapter 45: The Old Man Meets
Although this wedding banquet is very lively, for Jiang Xiaoyu, it is still a laborious thing to deal with so many people with other scheming intentions, the smile on her face became more and more stiff, she only sighed silently in her heart, the life of a person is by no means a wishful life, at least among these people who are approaching you, those are sincere, those are other plans, who can guarantee that they can be absolutely clear?
"Tired?" Zhao Ling secretly grabbed Jiang Xiaoyu's hand under the table and asked softly.
"When I was young, I didn't think much of it, but now the more I know about your life, the more I admire you, and you are able to play well in these essences, you are indeed very set!" Jiang Xiaoyu said softly.
"No way!" Zhao Ling smiled bitterly, "The second child is too straightforward, he doesn't like these vainness and grievances, only I can do these things!" But you also have to get used to it this morning, after all, you will have to be my virtuous helper in the future, I will envelop these men, and the lady of their family is a role that cannot be ignored! β
He paused and said, "Today, you can find an excuse to go back and rest first, what if you are afraid that you will be frightened by this kind of life once and dare not marry me?" β
"I'll go first, you can do it yourself!"
Everyone only looked at these two people biting their ears in front of everyone, just as if they didn't see it, and they were still staggered, but their eyes still couldn't help but sweep over, is this world aesthetically different from ordinary people or is there something about this Miss Jiang that has not been known by the world?
Jiang Xiaoyu left the table under the pretext of being unwell, and was about to go back to Jiang's house, but when he was walking in the direction of the gate, he happened to meet the two sisters Jiang Youran.
"The eldest sister is out of the limelight today!" Jiang Youran said mockingly, "Generally, only women in the wind and dust will accompany guests to sit with men, and the eldest sister is really informal, but it's a pity that it is difficult for me and Yiran to be blinded!" β
"So, I'm sorry for you!" Jiang Xiaoyu smiled faintly, "The prince forcibly pulled me into the table, and I can't refuse, but it's still his no, you see if it's good, I'll go and let him apologize to you, causing the two sisters to be gossiped!" β
"Second sister is just a joke, eldest sister, your prime minister has a good boat in his belly, don't take it to heart!" Jiang Yiran smiled slowly, "The prince has always acted uninhibitedly, since you brought your sister to the table, naturally you will not mind the gossip of unexpected people, seeing that my sister and the prince have a deep relationship, we are also very happy for our sister as sisters!" β
She paused, tidied up her sleeves, took a step forward and said: "Some of our sisters, and some relatives want to know the eldest sister, but the eldest sister has never been able to sit with us, which makes them so disappointed, and now I happen to meet my sister, my sister might as well have a few glasses of wine with them, and let them know the eldest sister!" β
Jiang Xiaoyu rubbed his temples and said with a smile: "I'm really sorry, I'm a little uncomfortable, I've already told Shizi and my grandfather, I'm going to go back to the house to rest now!" β
"Sister, you have eaten and drunk too much with the male guests, and now you don't look down on those female guests in the backyard?" Jiang Youran said sarcastically.
"I am indeed unwell, I have already told my grandfather and the prince before leaving the table, if I tell them that I am not feeling well, but turn around and eat with you, am I not deceiving them?" Jiang Xiaoyu smiled coldly, she raised her eyebrows, and said coldly, "Besides, what if I just don't want to?" β
"You!"
In the angry eyes of the two sisters, Jiang Xiaoyu said lightly: "I'll leave first, you can drink slowly, the two sisters show off their wisdom and offend those guests, you can treat me as a sister!" β
Yan Yan has been pulling Yueyue, afraid that there are too many people here and she will be separated, today the prince of the world's attitude towards her young lady she saw in her eyes the whole time, looking at the admiration of those people, she also felt honored, stepped forward and said with a smile: "The relationship between Miss and the son is getting better and better, no wonder the second miss and the third miss are jealous!" The more unpleasant they speak, the more uncomfortable they feel! β
"This girl is getting smarter and smarter!" Jiang Xiaoyu smiled and flicked on Yan Yan's head, Zhao Ling said that the marriage between the two would be clear in five days, and he didn't know what preparations he had made.
Yueyue asked with a puzzled face, "Who is the prince?" Isn't it amazing? β
"That's right, it's very powerful, it's a man that all women in the Great Zhou want to marry!" Yan Yan said proudly.
"Ahh It's so powerful, then Yanyan, do you also want to marry the prince? Yueyue asked innocently.
Yan Yan blushed, hurriedly waved her hand and said: "Yueyue, don't talk nonsense, the prince is Miss's fiancΓ©, I don't dare to be delusional, there is absolutely no such thought!" β
Jiang Xiaoyu smiled lowly: "Yanyan, Yueyue has learned too fast, I'm afraid that you won't be her opponent soon!" β
After sending the two away, Jiang Xiaoyu had just left for a while, and a maid stepped forward again, saluted and asked, "Is it Miss Jiang?" Our lady wants to invite Miss Jiang to meet! β
Yan Yan hurriedly said, "Who is your young lady!" β
"Our young lady said that she and Miss Jiang were acquaintances many years ago, and she should have come in person, but her identity today is a little special, and it is a little inconvenient to come, so I hope Miss Jiang can move!" The maid lowered her eyes and said.
Who is the young lady of her family Jiang Xiaoyu has a number in her heart, and she is also impressed by this maid, when Qi Qiaoyan made a big fuss before marriage, it was this little girl who followed her.
After thinking for a while, Miss Jiang said, "Okay, I haven't seen you for a long time, and it's time to reminisce about the past." Please lead the way! β
The maid was obviously relieved, bowed down and said, "Miss Jiang, please!" β
Jiang Xiaoyu and the three of them followed the maid to the new house prepared for the newlyweds in the inner courtyard, and Yan Yan asked in a low voice, "Miss, is the person who wants to see you today's bride?" β
"It's probably her, I'm a young friend with her, it's okay, you and Yueyue are waiting for me here!" Jiang Xiaoyu said, and then entered the new house.
In a red and jubilant room, Qi Qiaoyan was still wearing the phoenix crown and xia veil, sitting on the bed, looking a little worried.
"Look at your sad face, is it because you are waiting for the groom or because you are waiting for me?" Jiang Xiaoyu asked with a smile, she looked at the bride from beginning to end, leaned on the edge of the dresser, hugged her arms and said, "Although I haven't seen you for ten years, you are almost no different from when you were a child!" β
"You're very different from when you were younger!" Qi Qiaoyan raised her eyes and looked at Jiang Xiaoyu fixedly and said, "I almost didn't recognize you!" I think that although you have lived in the past ten years, you have not lived a satisfactory life. Seeing you now, I'd rather you died ten years ago! β
"It's a pity, I'm still alive!" Jiang Xiaoyu smiled bitterly, "Ten years, not only have we grown up, but even many things have changed, and the vicissitudes of life are often in an instant, isn't it?" β
"When I didn't get married, I heard about you and the son, I really didn't expect it, ten years of going around and around, you are still together, I remember when you were a child, you loved to chase after him, every time you talk about you will become his wife in the future, you are frowning, and now you can finally get your wish, it can be seen that sometimes, living, even if it is a humiliating life, is not necessarily a bad thing!"
"If you don't think it's a bad thing, you can try my life for the past ten years!" Jiang Xiaoyu smiled mockingly.
"What does it have to do with me? Don't hate me, you know! Qi Qiaoyan said, "I'm still very happy to see you!" β
The smile on the corner of her mouth never unfolded, but was solemn and worried, thought about it, and continued to ask, "Will you take revenge?" For your grandfather? β
"Who knows!" Jiang Xiaoyu looked at the floating clouds outside the window, "It's like I didn't know that you would marry into the Qin family today!" β
"You will get revenge, because I know you!" Qi Qiaoyan bit her lip and said, "If you choose revenge, I will stand on the opposite side of you, this is determined by my identity, just as your identity makes you have no choice!" β
"Are you seeing me today to declare war on me?" Jiang Xiaoyu withdrew his gaze, looked at Qi Qiaoyan calmly and asked.
Qi Qiaoyan smiled bitterly, was silent for a moment and said: "I thought I could persuade you with the sisterhood that still existed between us, but I gave up the moment you entered the door, it was indeed a vicissitudes of life, we can't go back, I won't persuade it, I don't like to hide it, so I'm still straightforward to show my attitude!" β
"I understand your attitude, and I won't embarrass you!" Jiang Xiaoyu walked towards the door, paused by the door again, turned around and smiled, "The place where you made trouble before the worship hall is really only you dare to make it, I admire it, even if it is the vicissitudes of life, your appearance and your temperament have not changed, I am very happy!" β
Jiang Xiaoyu left slowly, although Yan Yan wondered how the young lady could know the bride, but seeing that Jiang Xiaoyu's face seemed to be a little sad, she didn't ask much.
In addition to the Qin Mansion, the carriage of the Jiang family was waiting on the street, the coachman did not expect Jiang Xiaoyu to disperse so quickly, and was chatting with a few coachmen from other mansions on the stone steps, Yan Yan hurriedly went to call someone, and Jiang Xiaoyu got into the car first.
As soon as he opened the curtain, Jiang Xiaoyu paused for a moment, frowned and asked, "Is Lin Gongzi waiting for me?" β
Lin Xuan put his hands behind his head, raised his eyelids lazily, yawned slightly, and said, "Not bad!" β
Jiang Xiaoyu got into the carriage and asked, "Then what is Gongzi Lin for?" β
"I don't want to ask when your master will come to the capital, my little sister's condition has been a little recurrent in the past two days, and I, as a brother, look a little distressed!" Lin Xuan said lightly.
"My master's whereabouts have always been erratic, I can't say for sure when I will be able to come to the capital, but one thing I can be sure of is that my master should not miss the wedding of his closed disciple, right?" Jiang Xiaoyu smiled lightly.
Lin Xuan straightened up, his eyes narrowed slightly: "You mean that the day you marry Zhao Ling, he will appear?" He dragged his chin and thought for a while: "In this way, you and Zhao Ling have to get married as soon as possible!" But looking at Zhao Ling's recent spring breeze smug appearance, I'm afraid it's a good thing to move forward! β
