Chapter 177: Worry
Zeng Yi retracted his gaze, his eyes sank, "I'm five years older than her." ”
This sentence seems to say nothing, and it seems to say everything.
The two have known each other for many years, but Jiang Xiuwen couldn't figure out what he meant by this sentence.
Jiang Xiuwen thought for a moment before he considered it and said, "Five years older is nothing, it's just that first, Ah Ling is not allowed to marry for three years, and Brother Shi Yue is already close to the age of the weak crown, three years later, she is seventeen years old, which is the right age for Fenghua, and your age, it is impossible to wait for three years, second, Ah Ling took over the Xue family's witch master, and he will definitely recruit his son-in-law to come to the door in the future, Shi Yue is a strategist who can be valued by the emperor's eldest grandson, and he will inevitably have a bright future in the future, how far is the distance between you and her?" ”
Zeng Yi was not displeased, but smiled heartily, "Do you say this when you meet people?" ”
Jiang Xiuwen said, "Naturally not, I am the eldest brother, and I have always been quite concerned about the younger brothers and sisters around me, Ah Ling's life, aunt, and father are very concerned, and I, as the elder brother, naturally have to pay attention to a few points." ”
As he spoke, Jiang Xiuwen said with emotion, "If it was the first time, you gave Qishan jade as a gift, I didn't think of anything else, then I just saw such a situation today, and I realized that you are very attentive to her, you and I have been friends for many years, and Ah Ling is my sister-in-law, I must remind me more." ”
Zeng Yi retracted his expression and suddenly spoke, "It's not what you think, there are some things that can't be said clearly in a few words." ”
This sentence shocked Jiang Xiuwen's heart, he was originally asking tentatively, but now this sentence can't continue, he was silent for a moment before he said, "You have always been calm and self-controlled, and I don't believe that you will do things regardless of the consequences." ”
Zeng Yi shook his head, "No matter how calm and self-controlled, there will always be a moment without scruples,"
This sentence seemed to have exhausted his thoughts.
looked at Jiang Xiuwen and frowned.
Zeng Yi put away his expression and said solemnly, "I know that you treat her like a brother and sister, Brother Jiang can rest assured, although I was born in a family of witch doctors, I read the book of sages, and I will never do anything rude and rude, and I will not do anything rude, and I will also die, Xue San's life is strange, I can only promise you that in this life, Zeng Yi will never do anything to hurt her, as for the reasons and others, Brother Jiang doesn't need to ask more." ”
Jiang Xiuwen looked at his expression, not like a lie.
The gentleman made a promise, and when he remembered this sentence, he knew that this old friend was afraid that it was really not a whim, so he didn't say more.
Jiang Xiuwen got into the carriage, Jiang Mingxu had been waiting for a while, "What did you say to that Mr. Zeng, why is this look." ”
Jiang Xiuwen hesitated for a moment, knowing that his father was very concerned about his cousin's lifelong events, and after thinking about it, he decided not to mention it first, "I'm just worried about Ah Ling, this time I took the initiative to ask for my life, if I arrived in the north and couldn't successfully pray for rain, how would it end up at that time, so I went to explore Brother Shiyue's tone." ”
Jiang Mingxu really didn't think of anything else, but he was relieved, "Ah Ling is young, even if she goes to the Northland, it is nothing more than being ridiculed, but you don't have to worry too much." ”
Jiang Xiuwen nodded, "Brother Shi Yue said the same thing. ”
Jiang Mingxu said, "This time I went to the Northland, at least for half a month, I will ask your daughter-in-law to go with you, just have a response." ”
Jiang Xiuwen also thought so, "Yes, father." ”
When Jiang Xiuwen went back, he told his wife about it.
Wang is very hearty, "At the beginning of the year, I was ready to wean Xiao Yue'er, at that time, it was cold, so it was postponed for a few months, two days ago, my mother-in-law told me that it was time to wean Xiao Yue'er, I was thinking about whether to go back to my mother's house to live for a few days, even so, I went with you, just to wean Xiao Yue'er, I always can't make up my mind." ”
Jiang Xiuwen made a gesture, "Thank you for your thoughtfulness." ”
Wang smiled, "I didn't do anything, you thank me like this, but it makes me uncomfortable." ”
After she finished speaking, she noticed that Jiang Xiuwen's expression was not as relaxed as usual, so she asked, "Husband, but what's the trouble?" ”
Jiang Xiuwen hesitated.
Wang smiled, "Why don't you say it, maybe I can solve your problems." ”
Jiang Xiuwen thought about it, and then said tentatively, "I noticed that Brother Shi Yue is right today."
After he said half a sentence, he stopped, and he always felt that it was ungentlemanly to say these things behind his back.
Wang had already laughed, and as soon as Jiang Xiuwen spoke, she had already guessed a rough idea, "You want to say that Mr. Zeng is quite interested in Sister Ah Ling!" ”
This time it was Jiang Xiuwen's turn to be surprised, "How do you know?" ”
Wang said with a smile, "Our woman is already careful, and that day he gave Qishan jade as a gift, but this Qishan jade is something that Sister Yan urgently needs, so I noticed something unusual." ”
Jiang Xiuwen sighed that his wife was careful, "But Ah Ling is young,"
Wang smiled, "Sister Ah Ling has an outstanding appearance, generous and decent manners, and is not like an ordinary woman's family, but ordinary men see that she is a little more powerful than a man, even if he looks at her outstanding appearance, he is afraid that he will also have a heart of retreat, and that Mr. Zeng has a deep friendship with her husband, and she does not look like a layman at first glance, as the saying goes, I pity each other, Mr. Zeng will take a fancy to our Sister A Ling, isn't this a normal thing?" I'm not surprised. ”
Jiang Xiuwen listened to her analysis like this, and felt very reasonable.
But there are still some doubts, "However, the two of them are far apart." ”
Wang pushed and bent down with a smile, "One is a husband's old friend, and the other is a cousin of the husband, I see that you are concerned about it." If you want me to say, things are man-made, if this Mr. Zeng has a heart, what the husband cares about is not a problem, husband, what is the result, given time, I will definitely know, and I can't come in a hurry. ”
After Wang's words were finished, Jiang Xiuwen's brows finally stretched slowly, "Thank you for your comfort." ”
Wang said with a smile, "When I went to the Northland this time, I just took a look at my husband to see if this Mr. Zeng was true or false." ”
said that Xue Ling had returned to Xue's house, and the news of going to the Northland had spread to all over the country.
When Mrs. Xue heard the news, she was more worried, "Ah Ling, have you really decided to go?" This north and south are thousands of miles apart, and if you don't go to a girl's house, no one will say anything. It's still too far away. ”
Xue Ling said with relief, "It's not far away, since it is ordered by the court, you always have to do your duty." Grandmother rest assured, Cousin Xiuwen also went with her. ”
She remembered that only the Jiang family went back then, and only the Jiang family was saved in the witch Gu disaster, and Xue Ling was not sure how much there was in it.
