Chapter 221: On the banks of the Jinshui River

The white horse passed through the gap, and it was soon July.

The summer heat in the capital in July has not subsided, and people go to the streets to shake their clothes, and their clothes are about to be soaked, but it is already early autumn according to the season.

In early autumn, the sky is high, the clouds are light and sparse, and the eyes are full of large expanses of blue and the sun is hotter than the height of summer, and people's mood is inexplicably brighter in such a season.

Jiang's mood is getting heavier and heavier day by day.

The death of the second brother in her previous life was like a boulder pressing on her heart, and as that day got closer and closer, she couldn't breathe.

After experiencing the death of Yongchangbo and his wife, she did not dare to act rashly.

It was a hard lesson to learn that a casual change can sometimes lead to unpredictable doom.

Jiang didn't seem to dare to risk his brother's life.

Rather than desperately preventing her second brother from swimming in the river on the day he died in her previous life, she was willing to follow the trajectory of her previous life and save her second brother at the most critical moment.

It is impossible for her to be inseparable from her second brother all day long, who knows if there will be a next time if she stops this river trip? Or other accidents that can't be prevented.

For Jiang Yi, at least the time and place of Jiang Zhan's death in his previous life are clear, which is much better than facing the unknown.

However, it is impossible to say that there is no panic in your heart.

Concern is chaos, this is human nature.

"Girl, you're getting thinner and thinner these days, can't you eat in the heat?" Ah Qiao put a plate of dim sum on the table and persuaded, "The maid specially made a cold fruit, you can taste it." ”

Ah Qiao is a clever maid, very talented in making dim sum, a plate of preserved fruit light green and light powder, wrapped in fine shredded coconut like frost flowers, in this hot weather to look at it makes people appetite great.

Jiang seemed to shake his head: "You and Ah Man eat, just bring me a cup of honey water." ”

Ah Qiao still had to be persuaded again, and seeing that Jiang seemed to have a solemn expression, he had to dispel his thoughts and turned around to serve honey.

Jiang seemed to stand up and paced back and forth in the not-so-spacious room.

This day is the day when the second brother and Yang Shengcai, the grandson of the Ministry of Rites, painted a boat and cruised the river.

Although he had thought about every detail repeatedly, there was definitely no change from the development of his previous life in this matter, but he couldn't wait for the news from Jiang Zhan's side, Jiang still couldn't put his mind at ease.

"Girl, girl—" Ah Man ran in from outside, panting.

Just as Ah Qiao came over with honey water, Jiang seemed to take the honey and handed it to Ah Man.

Ah Man drank it in one go, stuffed the empty bowl back into Ah Qiao's hand, and said quickly: "Aji has sent news that someone has asked the second son to go to Jinshui River to play. ”

Jiang seemed to bite his lip hard, and kicked the small pestle at his feet in anger.

She knew that the second brother was a person who didn't remember to eat or fight, and sure enough, he still got involved with Yang Shengcai and others.

After being annoyed, I felt a little relieved.

If everything is really developing according to her previous life, then she will have the confidence to save her second brother.

"When is the second son going?"

"I said I made an appointment for the evening."

Jiang seemed to purse his lips, and had the heart to go to Jiang Zhan to give him a few words, but he was worried that it would cause an accident, so he had to suppress this impulse and tell Ah Man to find Lao Qin.

The place to meet Lao Qin is a pavilion that connects the front yard with the back house.

Jiang didn't seem to have waited long, and Lao Qin was led over by A Man.

Coming to Jiang Ru, Lao Qin clasped his fists and saluted, waiting for orders without saying a word.

Lao Qin's attitude made Jiang seem extremely relieved.

Sometimes she needs someone as clever as Ah Fei to do things, and sometimes she needs someone like Lao Qin to carry out her orders to the letter.

It's a matter of life and death for her brother, and she doesn't allow any mistakes.

"Lao Qin, do you know the Jinshui River?"

Lao Qin shook his head.

He is not from the capital, and he chose to take root in the capital just because he had a thought in his heart, and he had never even heard of Jinshuihe.

"Then you can go and find out, I need you to be as familiar with the situation as possible in the Jinshui River, and hire a boat to wait for me there." Jiang seemed to say to Lao Qin.

Lao Qin wasn't even surprised, and immediately nodded: "Don't worry, girl." ”

Jiang seemed to talk about some details, and finally said: "Old Qin, tonight's matter is very important to me, so please." ”

Lao Qin clenched his fists: "I will do my best to do what the girl explains." ”

Separated from Lao Qin, Jiang Qi returned to the Begonia House and began to pack his things.

Ah Qiao had a bad premonition, and asked tentatively, "Girl, are you going out again?" ”

Well, why did she use the word "again"?

"Yes, Ah Man and I may come back late tonight. Ah Qiao, the affairs of the yard will be left to you, especially be careful not to be found out that I and Ah Man are not there. ”

Ah Qiao's mouth was bitter: "Girl-"

This is the third time!

In the end, poor Ah Qiao didn't say a word of dissuasion, and after sending Jiang Qi and Ah Man away, he silently recited Amitabha Buddha countless times.

If this continues, she will have to believe in Buddhism and become a vegetarian.

The banks of the Jinshui River are much more deserted during the day, the most lively time is at night, the willows on the moon, the lights are bright, countless pleasure boats wander on the Jinshui River, faintly there is music and laughter, and there is the fragrance of fat powder sent to people's noses with the wind.

This is the gentle township that the talented people yearn for, and it is also the gold cave where the powerful linger, and the nightless sky on the bank of the Jinshui River is the description of this grand scene.

Jiang Yi and Ah Man were both dressed inconspicuously, quietly watching the exquisite painting boats docked on the shore gradually light up with red lanterns and begin to slowly sail towards the river.

"Girl." A deep voice sounded, and Lao Qin rocked the boat to the shore.

In addition to those painting boats that carve dragons and phoenixes, there are also many dexterous boats, some of which are vendors who sell fresh fruit snacks between the boats, and some are flower girls with ordinary appearances.

It's not just the rich who come to Jinshui River to enjoy themselves.

Lao Qin rowed skillfully in the boats, and there was nothing inconspicuous hidden in these boats.

Jiang seemed to get on the boat with Ah Man.

Ah Man was a little curious: "Old Qin, I don't see that you can still row." ”

"Hmm." Lao Qin replied simply.

There is a river where he and his sister's childhood sweetheart grew up, and when he was young, he played in the water with his companions, and as for rowing, it is not difficult for him to master kung fu.

"Girl, what should I do next?" Ah Man was eager to try.

Jiang seemed to be staring intently ahead.

There is a painting boat docked there, and it is the most gorgeous one as far as the eye can see.

At this moment, a few young men walked towards the painting boat with a smile, and one of them made her the most familiar to her, it was the second brother Jiang Zhan.

Ah Man's eyes widened slightly, and he pulled Jiang Ru's sleeve: "Girl, the second son is here!" ”

At this time, Jiang seemed to calm down, and calmly ordered: "Old Qin, drive the boat and follow behind that painting boat." ”

Lao Qin didn't say a word and rowed the water waves with his oars, and the boat quickly merged into the shuttle-like boat flow and approached the painting boat.
