Chapter 55: Two Birds with One Stone
Jiang Qiubai withdrew his hand, and the distance between the two was also widened.
Yang Jing stiffened her neck, her eyes with a hint of justice and awe, "What's wrong?" Aren't you and me an unmarried couple? What's wrong with me touching you? β
Jiang Qiubai's eyes were staring at her, and the hands hidden in his sleeves had already pinched a corner and wrinkled.
It's not strange to touch it, he has always been taken advantage of by women with various excuses and reasons, and he has long been on guard, and today's appearance is really unexpected.
But strangely, his reaction was so great?
Jiang Qiubai lowered his eyelids, and a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, "It makes sense." With that, he stepped forward, and this time, he didn't pull her again.
Yang Jing naturally knew why, so she didn't say a word, and followed in small steps.
The atmosphere was really awkward.
I don't know where he's taking him?
Yang Jing followed him to the guest inn, then changed the carriage and marched to a cup of tea.
"Where are you taking me?" Jumping out of the carriage, she looked around.
There is a small remote courtyard as far as the eye can see, and there are two tall locust trees outside the courtyard, and the leaves cover the sky and the sun.
It looks like a suburb.
Jiang Qiubai then got out of the car, and the driver consciously drove the car aside.
He led her into the courtyard, "This is a courtyard I bought in Liuzhou. β
This courtyard looks the same as the Changjia courtyard from the outside, and I didn't expect to walk into it, but it is rich in connotation.
Two plots of land were set aside in the compound, with garlic sprouts and shallots planted on the left and broad beans planted on the right.
At your feet is a path paved with pebbles of various sizes and colors that leads to the courtyard.
Looking at the slender back in front of her, she was in a good mood and said, "It's really nice here." β
Isn't all this the idyllic life she has been dreaming of for a long time?
Walking into the inner courtyard again, there was a vague fragrance wafting from afar.
The courtyard is not large, but there are many bamboo tables and chairs in the courtyard, as well as bamboo racks for drying meat, which looks very interesting.
Jiang Qiubai pushed open the door.
A woman's voice came from inside, "Shiro." β
Jiang Qiubai was stunned, "Ah Zi? β
The woman he called Ah Zi walked over, and Yang Jing stood outside the courtyard and could vaguely see the swaying of the purple shirt from between the open doors and windows.
"It's rare for the eldest brother to come back, I'm afraid that he will cause you trouble, so I thought about coming over together and cleaning up by the way." The woman's voice explained softly.
"Shiro, here." This time it's a male voice.
Jiang Qiubai was about to talk, but saw that there was no one behind him, so he looked at the outer courtyard, "Why don't you come in?" β
Ah Zi turned his head and cast his gaze outward.
Yang Jing coldly confronted the woman in the room, the woman's gaze became cold, and she quickly looked away.
"Shiro is thirsty all the way here, I'll go pour tea for you."
She walked in slowly, nodded at the tall black-clothed man beside Jiang Qiubai, and only listened to him: "Could this be the person you want to introduce to me today?" β
Jiang Qiubai nodded and smiled: "This is the Yang family's Ajing, my fiancΓ©e." β
Turning his head, he said to her again, "This is my friend Gao Jin." β
"Gao Jin!" Yang Jing exclaimed when she heard this.
"You know?" Jiang Qiubai asked.
Yang Jing staggered her eyes, pursed her lips, and squeezed out a smile, "The tall man is famous, no one knows anyone, please forgive the little girl for being rude." β
Gao Jin.
She silently recited the name in her heart, and followed the two of them into the seat, but she didn't have the heart to listen to what they said.
She only knew that this Gao Jin was the eldest son of Gao Cheng, the Shangshu of the Liuzhou Military Department, who entered the military camp at a young age, was recommended to enter the court, and became a young general, so he was not prestigious.
But this person is not right, especially good at trickery, and belongs to a person who will not give up until he achieves his goal.
If she is not mistaken, in her previous life, it was this person who deceived Shen Yao from Jiang Qiubai's side, and then dedicated Shen Yao to the three princes, making him a forbidden person around the three princes, until he ascended to the throne of the crown prince, Shen Yao ordered someone to secretly assassinate the three princes and Gao Jin.
It's a pity that since then, Shen Yao has not been concentrating on serving the country and controlling the government, but has been uncertain, moody and takes pleasure in killing.
Thinking of this, Yang Jing was already like an arrow.
Ah Zi, the sister who was born in a high school, made a big table of dishes and was about to welcome them to the backyard to eat.
Jiang Qiubai stood up and deliberately walked slowly behind Gao Jin.
Looking at her with a pale face, he blocked the door, "What's wrong with you?" β
Raising her head, she said, "I, I'm a little uncomfortable, and I want to go back first." β
Jiang Qiubai didn't ask why, just pressed her aside, "You wait for me here." β
Yang Jing clenched her hands into fists and hid them in her sleeves, pricking up her ears to listen.
"Don't eat it? Shiro, is there something urgent? Gao Jin glanced at Yang Jing, who didn't come out, and asked in a low voice, but was still heard by Ah Zi, who was holding the soup on the side.
"Shiro, are you leaving?" Ah Zi was in a hurry, and the soup in his hand was sprinkled, "Ah! Immediately, his fingers were red.
But she didn't care, and looked at Jiang Qiubai.
"Ah Zi, are you okay?" Gao Jin said with concern, and pulled Jiang Qiubai aside, "Although my sister is a concubine, you have always known her intentions for you, this time she knew that you were coming, but she was specially busy for a long time to make this table of dishes." β
Jiang Qiubai smiled helplessly: "I have a marriage match now, where do I dare to delay your sister." β
"Shiro." Gao Jin looked at him with a complicated expression.
Jiang Qiubai's eyes were open, "You should know why I'm here today." There was a hint of resoluteness in his tone.
Gao Jin sighed, "I know. β
Jiang Qiubai patted Gao Jin on the shoulder and turned to leave.
Gao Jin looked at his dashing and departing back, anger surged to his mouth, but he didn't dare to speak.
"Let's go." Jiang Qiubai stretched out his palm to her.
She lowered her eyes and pulled it, and the two walked out of the courtyard hand in hand.
"Ajing, you know my brother-in-law, right?" Before getting into the carriage, Jiang Qiubai asked with a smile.
She glanced at the courtyard door and said with a smile: "It's better to be famous than to meet, someone is here to keep you." β
"Shiro stays!" Ah Zi was unwilling, chased him out, and as soon as he went out, he saw Jiang Qiubai behaving affectionately helping Yang Jing into the carriage.
Ah Zi walked quickly to the carriage.
"Shiro, I, I made the dish you like to eat."
Jiang Qiubai said: "Ah Zi, I'm really sorry, I have something to do today, let's come and taste your craftsmanship another day." β
As he spoke, he took a long step and was about to get into the car.
Ah Zi hurriedly reached out to pull it, but only pulled it to the corner of his sleeve.
"Shiro."
Jiang Qiubai was slightly stunned, looked at the hand on his sleeve, and squatted down on the carriage.
"Ah Zi, I'm going to marry a wife." He said in a cold voice.
"I know, the eldest brother told me, but Shiro ......" Biting his lip, Ah Zi said shamefully: "I just want to stay with you, even if I am a slave or a servant." β
The conversation between the two reached Yang Jing's ears without leakage.
She couldn't help but feel sad, it seemed that she was not the stupidest in her previous life, at least at that time, no matter how much she liked Liu Zisheng, she would never be able to say this.
