Chapter 42: Finding Someone in the Rain
"Childe, how do you know that Yang Jing won't ask?" After accompanying Ji Ruyue to go shopping, Jiang Lian quickly rushed back to the bamboo courtyard.
Jiang Qiubai was lying on the recliner reading a book, looking lazy.
Hearing Jiang Lian's footsteps walking in, he lazily replied, "I don't know, I guessed too." ”
Jiang Lian approached with two pots of sake and sauced beef, willing to gamble and lose: "Childe, I figured it out, I shouldn't bet with you, how could I win you." With that, Jiang Lian let out a long sigh and sat down beside Jiang Qiubai.
"Childe, you don't know, Miss Na Ji is really a troublemaker, one moment shouting to find you, and another moment shouting to buy dresses and jewelry, I spent an afternoon with her today, and I feel more tired than following Childe to climb the mountain."
Jiang Lian complained as he poured the wine and tore open the paper bag.
The aroma of beef in sauce is fragrant.
Jiang Qiubai folded the scroll, folded it on the recliner, and sat up straight.
"You should go and say these things to my mother." Jiang Qiu smiled with white eyebrows, picked up the wine cup and sniffed it, his tone was full of ridicule.
"Who said that I didn't repay the lady, she just used the sentence 'That is the pearl of the prime minister's palm, and her temperament is naturally different from that of ordinary market women' and sent me away." Jiang Lian is not aggrieved.
No wonder Gongzi would rather be in the same courtyard with Yang Jing, a girl from the village in the market, but he would not like to say a word to the princess of the dynasty and the barbaric lady of the prime minister's family.
Jiang Lian understood this time, why his son-in-law didn't say a word when he heard that Miss Ji arrived in Liuzhou, and immediately moved out of Jiangfu, it turned out to be to hide from the two daughters.
No, it's too embarrassing to say that it's embarrassing to hide, it doesn't conform to the temperament of the son, it should be said to be avoiding.
Jiang Lian learned from Jiang Qiubai's wanton appearance, pinched a glass of wine, and drank it all.
"Ahem!" He rarely drank alcohol, and now he choked on tears.
"Drink slowly, don't waste it." Jiang Qiubai admonished.
Shiro has always drunk only when he has something upset.
Shiro has very few worries, and it is rare to encounter such a time, Jiang Lian also wants to take advantage of the wine to say a few words to Shiro.
"Shiro, tell me honestly, do you have a crush on that Yang Jing." Jiang Lian drank the wine, and his courage grew, and he actually used a questioning tone.
But he had to ask this question anyway.
Jiang Qiubai glanced at him, "Is this important?" ”
"Of course it is." Jiang Lian made a straight face and cried out for him, "Although this Yang Jing is a little different from the rumored slutty girl, who are you, son?" You are like the moon that day, and this Yang Jing is just a flower in the water, where can I compare with you. ”
"Huh." Jiang Qiubai was surprised.
Jiang Lian still kept a straight face.
"Ah Lian, your writing is really getting better and better." He put down the glass and applauded.
Jiang Lian's old face flushed, "Childe, don't make fun of me." ”
Jiang Qiubai took a bite of the sauce beef and took a small sip of wine.
Her long, fair-skinned fingers tapped on the tabletop.
Slowly read out:
"Guanyin Bodhisattva is wonderful,
Pure and solemn and tired.
The mighty red lotus is under his feet,
Wanwan autumn moon lock eyebrows.
The nectar in the bottle is always sprinkled,
The poplar branches in the hands do not count the autumn.
A thousand prayers are answered in a thousand places,
The bitter sea is often used as a boat for people. ”
"A woman who can write such a poem, I would like to see what she is capable of."
Summer is the rainy season.
When Yang Jing was about to walk out of the Liu family and place it in the third annex in Liuzhou City, a light rain suddenly fell in the sky.
She tightened her willow eyebrows and leaned her back against the eaves outside the courtyard gate to hide from the rain.
The anxiety in my heart slowly faded.
As far as she knew, the Liu family had placed a total of four courtyards in Liuzhou, and she had already completed three of them, which meant that there was still the smallest one left in the east of the city.
It was getting foggy.
Yang Jing waited for a while, lifted the hem of her clothes and rushed into the rain.
Time waits for no one, she must rush to the Liu family's courtyard before dark.
I don't know how long I walked, but fortunately it wasn't dark yet.
Yang Jing lightened her steps, turned into the path, and saw the subordinate guarding the door from a distance.
She withdrew her gaze and leaned against the wall.
The Liu family really hid here, and in order to avoid people's eyes, they even chose the smallest and most remote courtyard.
If you rashly break in at this time, not to mention that you can't get any good fruit to eat, maybe you may still be trapped here with Chunnon.
After thinking clearly about the pros and cons of the matter, Yang Jing closed her eyes and wiped the rain from her face.
Chunno, you wait for me.
She resolutely ran back, not daring to stop for a moment, until she ran into the familiar alleyway.
Shen Yao stood by the door with an umbrella, and when he saw someone staggering over, he hurriedly rushed forward.
He dragged Yang Jing under the umbrella, "I'm scared to death!" I thought something was wrong with you! ”
Yang Jing was washed cold and biting by the rain, she looked at Shen Yao, who was anxious and red-eyed, her nose was sour for no reason, and she choked up: "Chun Nong was captured by the Liu family, we have to find a way to save her." ”
The voice is clear and sweet, with a nasal voice unique to a girl.
Shen Yao knew that she had been hiding her true voice for so long.
"Let's talk about it first." He dragged her into the house.
in the house.
Piles of medicinal herbs have been sorted into the cabinet in an orderly manner, and the front bunk and the front bunk seem to be separated by a wall, but in fact, a door is left in the dark place to facilitate passage.
Shen Yao brought a coat from the house and draped it over her body, "I'll go boil some hot water to ward off the cold for you, you'll get sick if you go on like this." ”
Yang Jing sat quietly on the stool, as if she hadn't heard, motionless.
"If even you fall ill, who can save Chunnong?"
Speaking of this, she moved her numb hands and feet and slowly raised her head.
"You go and inquire, what's going on outside, and what happened to the grain merchants in Liuzhou who were named by the Liu family." Her voice was a little dry.
Shen Yao never expected that a little maid would have such a big impact on her.
He didn't know how to persuade him, so he had to nod and respond: "Okay, I'll inquire, you change your clothes first." ”
"Okay." She is also rarely well-behaved.
Shen Yao lifted the paper umbrella that was still dripping on the side, "I'm going, you wait at home for me to come back." He pushed the door open and took a deep peek inside.
Yang Jing watched him leave, got up and poured herself a cup of tea.
If Chunnong has three long and two short, she will never let go of the Liu family.
Thinking about it, she pursed her lips, pulled up her hair that was hanging down, pinned it with a wooden hairpin, and went back to the house.
Halfway up Baiyun Mountain.
Bamboo courtyard.
Jiang Qiubai pillowed his hands with his head down, closed his eyes and listened to the sound of raindrops falling on the raincloth.
Jiang Lian blushed and grabbed the white dove flying in the rain, took off the letterbox and looked at it, and walked towards the person behind him with a strange face.
"Childe, you guessed right again."
"Huh?" The man in the recliner snorted softly.
Jiang Lian handed the note to his eyes, "Yang Jing really found the Liu family's hiding place. Speaking of this, Jiang Lian was a little confused, "But she just stayed outside the house for a moment and left." ”
Jiang Qiubai opened his eyes, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes, "It seems that I underestimated her." ”
The smile on his lips deepened.
