On the second day, Jin Qing came home from outside, and was horrified to see Jiang Chen standing in his yard with his sleeves rolled, helping Mama Liu water the vegetable garden, the hem of the blue silk blouse was rolled high into the waistband of his trousers, and the well-made mille-feuille black boots and trouser legs were also stained with a lot of mud.

Jin Qing put down the medicine box and walked over in surprise, "What are you doing here?" ”

Jiang Chen looked back at Jinqing, smiled brightly, showed a mouthful of white teeth, raised the water scoop in his hand, and said, "Can't you see this?" Watering! ”

Jin Qing was choked suddenly, of course she could see that it was watering, and the point of the problem was why the eldest young master of the Jiang family came to her house to water the vegetable patch.

"How's your grandma?" Jin Qing thought that she had come to see his grandmother.

"It's good, I said that my neck hurt and I didn't hurt it anymore, and I praised you for your good medical skills!" Jiang Chen wiped his sweat and said.

Jin Qing looked at the sweat marks and mud on his clothes, pulled Mama Liu aside, frowned and said, "Why do you let him work?" ”

Mama Liu glanced at Jiang Chen, who was full of interest, and spread her hands with a smile, "What do I want him to do, this little brother has carried a bunch of things, and as soon as he comes in, he yells to find you, I said that you are not there, he will wait at home, and when he sees me watering, he has to come to help me." He muttered in a low voice: "I'm doing a favor at all, and Cai Miao doesn't know how many of them were trampled to death by him." ”

Jin Qing's face was full of black lines when she listened, and she looked at Mama Liu's hand, there were two bags in the corner of the wall, and there was a strip of pork belly on the bag.

is quite dissatisfied with Jiang Chen, but looking at Mama Liu's smiling appearance, I am afraid that I like Jiang Chen's healthy and sunny young man.

"Jiang Chen, come here!" Jin Qing squinted her eyes and beckoned to Jiang Chen, what the hell is this person going to do, it doesn't look like something happened to his grandmother when he comes.

Jiang Chen ran over, and the tall man stood in front of Jin Qing, who barely reached his shoulder.

Seeing that Jin Qing's eyes kept looking at the things he put in the corner, Jiang Chen scratched his head embarrassedly and smiled: "I heard that Agua Na Boy said that you just moved over, and I thought that the things were not well prepared, so I sent some rice noodles over." ”

As if he was afraid that Jinqing would refuse, Jiang Chen said hurriedly: "Don't be polite to me, we are all friends, you cured my grandmother, I have to thank you well!" ”

Jin Qing nodded at him gratefully and said with a smile: "Aren't you the boss, do I dare not accept your things?" ”

Jiang Chen looked at Jin Qing's white and red smiling face, his eyebrows and eyes were crooked, like the crescent moon of the crescent moon, his heart moved, Bai Jun's face also floated a trace of crimson, but he said: "I came to inform you, my grandmother is home to live, you don't have to go to the teahouse tomorrow, just go to my house." ”

"In this way, in fact, you don't need it, your guy will definitely tell me when I go to the teahouse tomorrow." Jin Qing said with a smile.

"What do those guys know!" Jiang Chen muttered. Mama Liu, who was eavesdropping on the side, only hated to scratch the wall, Jinqing, this girl, is she really stupid or deliberate......

Jiang Chen's home is in the west of the city, three or four streets away from where Jin Qing lives, Jin Qing was a little surprised, the Jiang family's yard is not big, but it is a carved fence and painted building, flowers and trees are sparse, and the verandah arch is a unique view.

When Jin Qing went for the first time, she looked at the colorful flowers and trees in the courtyard and was a little distracted, the Jiang family was born in a businessman, but this courtyard did not smell of copper, and it was quite elegant.

The little maid who led Jin Qing into the door looked at Jin Qing's intent, straightened her chest and said proudly: "This garden is beautiful, right?" It's all arranged by my wife, and everyone who has seen it says it's good! ”

Jin Qing smiled and nodded, "Elegant and exquisite, there is no cave." ”

Seeing Jin Qing's sincerity, the little maid approached Jin Qing and lowered her voice and said, "That's not it, my wife was a young lady from an official eunuch family before, and she was literate and literate!" ”

Jin Qing was slightly surprised, in the eyes of the Tang people, although the businessman is rich, he is somewhat unpopular, and not many officials and eunuchs are willing to marry the businessman.

It's just that the bends in this are not about Jin Qing's business, and Jin Qing has no intention of inquiring about other people's gossip, so he only smiled and said: "I see, your lady is really a good lady." ”

The little maid smiled like a proud smile, and took Jinqing to the old lady's residence.

In Jinqing's opinion, Mrs. Jiang is not a good servant, at the age of fifty or sixty, a dark and thin old lady, her eyes are very shrewd, and her temper is big enough, Jinqing often scolds her for the maid, and in the face of Jinqing, she is more polite.

During this time, the relationship between Jinqing and Jiang Xing improved, every time Jinqing just finished changing the medicine for the old lady and went out of the room, the enthusiastic Jiang Xing had to pull Jinqing to chatter non-stop. Jin Qing also learned a lot about Chang'an City through Jiang Xing.

Once Jin Qing came out of Jiang's house, Jiang Xing had to send her home, the reason was that she had nothing to do to talk to Jin Qing, Jin Qing couldn't cry or laugh, so she had to be sent by her little girl.

However, as soon as I walked on the West Street of Chang'an City, a few teenage girls walked over, pointed at Jiang Xing and covered her mouth and smiled: "Yo, this is not Xiao Kunlun!" ”

Jiang Xingqi's face turned red, pursed her lips without saying a word, and stubbornly pulled Jin Qing to run forward quickly, until she ran away from this group of little girls, and then stopped.

Without waiting for Jin Qing to ask, Jiang Xing shouted first: "I'm not just a little darker than them, why do you always laugh at me!" ”

Jin Qing was puzzled when she heard it, "Why do they call you Xiao Kunlun?" ”

Jiang Xing stared at Jin Qing suspiciously, and saw that Jin Qing was indeed puzzled, so he reluctantly explained: "Haven't you seen Kunlun Nu?" It is said that it was sold from far away, and when they saw that I was black, they called me Xiao Kunlun to humiliate me! ”

Jin Qing almost laughed out loud, the group of little girls just now, looking at the dress, estimated that they were also rich ladies who were familiar with the Jiang family, but it seemed that the relationship was average, no wonder Jiang Xing always had so much to say when she saw her, it turned out that she had no friends.

"I wanted to apply powder, and when I did, it would be white, but my mother wouldn't let me, saying that I was too young." Jiang Xing spoke sullenly.

The powder of this era is also called lead powder, and the whitening ingredient in it is lead dioxide, which is very harmful to the human body. In Jin Qing's opinion, the ladies of the Tang Dynasty always like to paint their faces like white faces, which is ugly.

"You're not too dark." Jin Qing comforted that Jiang Xing was lively and active, she couldn't be idle every day, and the skin on her face was a healthy wheat color, but in this era when her face was as beautiful as white paper, she was really not beautiful.

Jin Qing thought of the method passed on by the girls in the dormitory in college days, and said: "It's better to try washing your face with loofah water every day, it will turn white after a long time." ”

"So you can wash your face?" Jiang Xing grabbed Jinqing's sleeve and asked excitedly but incredulously.

"Hmm." Jin Qing nodded. Loofahs are also quite common in Chang'an, and they are planted in the backyards of most people's walls, so it is not difficult to find.

Sending Jin Qing home, Jiang Xing rushed back, Jin Qing looked at her running fast with the maid, and couldn't help but laugh secretly, this little girl must be in a hurry to go home to wash the loofah water.

In less than a month, Mrs. Jiang's neck was almost better, but after all, she was old, and her neck could not be restored to before, and it looked a little crooked compared to ordinary people.

Master Jiang knew that he couldn't ask for too much, so he thanked Jin Qing for his kindness, and stuffed a silver ingot of about two taels to Jin Qing, and Jin Qing didn't shirk it, she didn't come to Chang'an for a long time, and there were many places to use money. And Mrs. Jiang didn't see her again until the end, it seemed that she really had a stiff relationship with Mrs. Jiang.

Jin Qing saw that the old lady's neck injury was healed, so he removed the fixer for the old lady, carefully checked it to see that there was no problem, and then said goodbye and left, Jiang Chen stood at the door and looked at Jin Qing's distant back, not moving for a while.

Jiang Xing, who had already understood the matter, poked his brother with a wicked smile, "What's the matter, Young Master Jiang has taken a fancy to someone's family?" ”

Jiang Chen came back to his senses at this time, Bai Jun's face burned into a piece, and he made a gesture to beat her, scolding: "What does the little girl know, talk nonsense!" ”

Jiang Xing smiled, dodging her brother's fist, sure that Jiang Chen was reluctant to hit her, stuck out her tongue and grimaced, and said: "I think Sister Jinqing is very good, I like her very much, she wants to be my sister-in-law, then it couldn't be better!" ”

After speaking, Jiang Xing was afraid that her brother would beat her, so she ran out of the smoke for a long time.

Jiang Chen blushed with a handsome face, pretended to be angry, pointed at Jiang Xing and stammered: "Look at me if I don't tell my mother, what do you learn on weekdays, and when the time comes, my mother will let you learn female training and female precepts!" ”

Jiang Xing smiled evilly and clapped her hands, "Hey, as soon as I said that I would marry my daughter-in-law, my eldest brother blushed!" My mother is reluctant to let me learn, but you, haven't been studying for a few days? Mother still expects you to give him a top score! ”

As soon as he talked about the top prize in the exam, Jiang Chen immediately looked like a deflated ball, listless, "What kind of champion is the exam, where am I the material for studying!" ”

Jiang Xing hurriedly glanced left and right, "Brother, don't talk nonsense, let my mother hear it and scold you again." ”

Jiang Chen squatted on the ground and muttered: "My mother heard me say this, my father wants me to learn to do business, and my mother wants me to study and take the top prize, so I don't ask what I want to do." ”

Jiang Xing squatted in front of her brother curiously and asked, "Then what do you want to do?" ”

Jiang Chen came to the spirit, and said with a dance: "I want to join the army!" Be a general like Meng Jun! Kill the enemy to serve the country and make contributions! ”

Twelve-year-old Jiang Xing scoffed at her brother's lofty ideals, "Come on, do you still want to be like General Meng Xiao?" Daddy is just your son, what should you do if you want to go to the army? ”

The frustrated young man Jiang Chen was very melancholy, squatting on the ground and looking at the sky with his face in his hands, "I know, so I just thought about it, and I didn't say I was going!" ”
