Chapter 862 Obvious weakness of heart
At dinner, Jiang Qian had time to be busy outside for a day, so he specially invited Zhao Zongtong to the main courtyard for dinner.
Jiang Mo must accompany her, she is the most lively on the table on weekdays, but this time she is mostly "a thief", Jiang Mo was a little quiet throughout the whole process, and he didn't dare to raise his head, especially when facing Zhao Zongtong.
It's not that the whole family has eaten together, usually Zhao Zongtong usually helps Jiang Mo to pick up the vegetables today, and Jiang Mo is all smiling stupidly and accepts all the orders, but today Zhao Zongtong's chopsticks just fell into her bowl, and she was a little flustered.
Yes, the obvious panic is the kind of panic that has been tried to hide but can still be seen.
Zhao Zongtong knew it but smiled silently, as usual, but Jiang Qian and his wife were a little foggy, and once thought that Jiang Mo was uncomfortable.
Zhu Xi and Bai You, who were at the same table on the side, also looked confused, but they didn't dare to ask anything, so they could only bow their heads and eat.
After dinner, General Jiang and Zhao Zongtong had some official things to say, so they went to the study together.
Jiang Mo accompanied his mother Wu to see Xingfan's situation.
Zhu Sheng and Bai You stayed outside the study, and it was inevitable that they would be a little bored.
The two seemed to remember the strange appearance of the second master at the dinner table just now, and couldn't help muttering.
"Hey, what's wrong with the second master today, it's weird at noon, and it's even weird at dinner, Ichizhi bows his head, is it really unwell?" Bai You asked first.
"Huh...... Don't worry, looking at our master's reaction, the second master will definitely not be uncomfortable. "Zhu Sheng has a very good reason.
"Why?" Bai You looked confused.
"Huh...... If the second master is really unwell, where can we still worry about it, our master and second master will not appear on the dinner table today. Zhu Sheng glanced at Bai You.
"Well, yes, it makes sense, but, the second master's reaction is really strange, as if he is afraid of something." Bai Yu said confusedly.
"Well, I'm afraid." Zhu Sheng nodded.
"Yes, yes, yes, I'm afraid, but what is the second master afraid of?" Bai You really couldn't think of anything that could make the second master afraid now, after all, this was their grandfather's presence.
"Huh...... Your eyesight is usually in vain! I can't see this, the second master is probably afraid of our master. "Zhu Sheng's observations have always been meticulous.
"Huh? Are you kidding! The second master will be afraid of the master, cut, the master is the most painful for the second master! Bai You immediately shook his head and booed.
"This has nothing to do with whether the master hurts the second master or not, it must be that the second master has done something that he thinks he is sorry for, otherwise it won't be as quiet as at this dinner table." Zhu Sheng raised his eyebrows.
"What do you mean? Could it be because of the letter from King Wusun this day? Really jealous? That's all Bai You can think of.
"Huh...... Even if the master is jealous, it will be for a while, after all, the second master knows what the heart master knows best, I don't believe it, it is okay, obviously the second master is because of something else to provoke our master. Zhu Sheng analyzed.
"Yes...... The master doesn't look angry at all, and it's the same as before, it's very good to the second master? "This is what makes Bai You puzzled the most, obviously the second master is panicked, but their master is like a nobody, it seems that this matter can't be connected.
"Huh...... That means that the second master feels that he is wrong about this matter, but the master does not dislike it. Zhu Sheng looked like an old god again.
"Hey, let's tell me something I can understand!" When Bai You was in a hurry, he was the most impatient for Zhu Xi to say this kind of cloudy and misty words.
"Huh...... Note: Didn't you pay attention to the fact that the master has been touching his lips when he has nothing to do at noon? Zhu Sheng looked mysterious.
"Huh? Oh...... It's really true that you say that, in the afternoon, I will go in to return to official business, and the master touches his mouth from time to time, and, there is a strange smirk, I thought it was something wrong with me, could it be that the second master is what's wrong with the master? "White You was Allah who understood, but he didn't think much about it.
"Huh...... I can only ask the second master about this. Zhu Shu shrugged.
"Hey! You, you say, you dare! Bai You was almost surrounded by Zhu Xuan.
"I don't dare, but it doesn't seem like a bad thing." Zhu Xi felt that as long as it wasn't a bad thing, then they didn't need to worry about it, after all, the second master and the second master had their own little interests......
"Mother, I, I'm really fine, really."
"Isn't it really uncomfortable?" After reading Jiang Xingfan, Jiang Mo accompanied his mother Wu back to the main courtyard, and was asked all kinds of questions along the way, for fear that she was really unwell, Jiang Mo of course didn't want her mother to know her "hooligan" deeds, so she gave various explanations.
"Really, mother."
"But you haven't eaten much tonight, are you sure you're not sick?" Wu's mother's daughter, as Jiang Mo's mother, was naturally uneasy about her strange behavior tonight, and asked again and again.
"Mother, why didn't I eat properly, I ate a whole plate of dim sum alone in the afternoon, and now I am very full." Jiang Mo casually found an excuse to reluctantly block his mother's worries.
"You, how old are you, you still like to eat those little snacks, of course you don't have much appetite when you are full of dim sum, alas, ......" Wu Shi heard this and thought that she this girl had this little problem of greedy dim sum since she was a child, and she liked to eat before meals, and then she couldn't eat anything when it came to dinner.
She has educated her a lot about this, thinking that she is getting older and should have changed, but she didn't expect this to be the case this again, but it made Wu a little crying and laughing, and poked her forehead to relieve her anger......
"Well, then let's do it, General Jiang can do it freely, it's a good idea." In the study, the conversation between General Jiang and Zhao Zongtong was also coming to an end, and it didn't take long for General Jiang to send Zhao Zongtong out.
"Master."
"Well, General Jiang is not early at night, you can stay too, General Ben will go back by himself." Now Zhao Zongtong is also familiar with General Jiang, and he is polite when he looks at the sky.
"Huh...... Well, then it will not be far away. Originally, in his own mansion, the distance from one courtyard to another, the general was not so restrained, why did he see the outside like this, but he was full of response, hugged his fists and bowed again.
"Well, let's go." Zhao Zongtong turned around and took Zhu Xi and Bai You to say goodbye to General Jiang Qian, and then slowly walked out of the courtyard......
"Master, it's not a big deal, right?" After walking a few steps, Zhu Sheng became concerned first.
"Well, over the years, General Jiang has really buried him in this small Jincheng, and General Jiang can handle these things alone, I have nothing to worry about." Zhao Zongtong sighed a little.
"Alas, that's right, if General Jiang hadn't been seriously injured in order to save King Zongli, he couldn't go to the battlefield again, where would he have succumbed here, it's indeed a bit buried." Zhu Sheng also agreed.
"Master, didn't you think about helping General Jiang mobilize a few days ago, or ......" Bai You also asked
"Alas...... I had this intention, but General Jiang refused. Zhao Zongtong shook his head with a smile.
"Huh? Why? Could it be that General Jiang is nostalgic for this place? Bai Yu was puzzled.
"That's not it, General Jiang is an extremely good soldier, and naturally strictly abides by military orders, he is afraid of being disadvantageous to the girl, so he rejected my proposal." It is precisely because of this that Zhao Zongtong respects Jiang Qian and General Jiang even more.
"It's not good for the second master? General Jiang is not worried that he will rely on the second master to get up, which will ruin the reputation of you and the second master, so he ......" Bai You reacted.
"Well, exactly, I feel a little ashamed of his worries." Zhao Zongtong always felt that he was a little sorry for General Jiang.
"Oh...... It's no wonder that when you proposed the position of governor of Jincheng, General Jiang also politely refused, it turned out that it was because he was afraid of causing trouble to you and the second master, alas...... I thought that General Jiang was five big and three coarse, but now it seems that he is extremely thoughtful. Bai You also suddenly had respect in his heart.
"That's why I feel a little indebted to them.
The girl is their baby daughter, and she is already very reluctant, but now because of my relationship, he is very capable but he can't be reused, alas, ......" Zhao Zongtong was a little worried in his heart.
"Master, it's not like there's no way." Zhu Shu felt that there was still a solution to the matter.
"Little uncle?"
"Hey, second master?" The three of them were talking and they were about to arrive at the courtyard, but they caught a glimpse of the figure of the second master Jiang Mo at the small door of the hanging flowers, and Zhu Xi and Bai You were stunned first.
