Chapter 68: Nightfall
Cao Xingyu, the prince of Changxing, stood not far away, with a light smile on the corner of his mouth and a faint look in his eyes.
The peony is bright, the flowers are fragrant, and the ginger seems to stand in it, only to feel a cold air rising from the bottom of my heart.
Jiang Qiao almost instinctively stepped forward half a step forward and blocked Jiang Qi behind him: "It turned out to be my brother-in-law, and my fourth sister and I were enjoying the flowers." ”
Cao Xingyu chuckled, his eyes were dotted with gold in the sun, and he looked unusually kind: "This peony flower is indeed better than the side of it, and the two sisters appreciate it slowly." ”
He walked forward step by step.
The copper hairpin in the sleeve is hard and cold, against the soft skin of the girl.
Jiang Ru's hand holding the copper hairpin tightened, and he looked at Cao Xingyu approaching coldly.
Cao Xingyu is thin, and there is a pitiful beauty of weakness under the background of the moon-white robe.
Who would have thought that such a person would do such an unreasonable thing?
Well-dressed beasts.
This word suddenly flashed through Jiang Ru's mind, and those fears that had risen uncontrollably because of the shadows of his previous life suddenly vanished, and only firmness remained.
She must peel off the skin of this beast and prevent him from harming innocent women again!
Cao Xingyu approached, but did not walk in front of the two, but went in the other direction after some distance from the peony bush.
There is nothing wrong with it, it seems like an ordinary coincidence.
Cao Xingyu gradually walked away and did not look back.
Jiang Qiao looked at the moon-white background for a moment, pursed her lips, turned her head to Jiang Qi, and said, "What did you do just now?" ”
Jiang Yi's expression had already returned to normal, and he said with a smile: "The sudden appearance of the prince shocked me, and I subconsciously threw the hairpin." ”
"Throw it away?" Jiang Qiao swept around, "Where did you throw it?" ”
Jiang seemed to point casually: "It seems to be over there." ”
She pointed to a bush, and Jiang Qiao lost interest: "Forget it, don't say it's a copper hairpin, even if it's a gold hairpin or a silver hairpin, you can't ask for this kind of thing you picked up." ”
Cao Xingyu's sudden appearance obviously swept Jiang Qiao's interest in appreciating the flowers: "Let's go, go to the pavilion on the rockery to find the second sister and them." ”
"Okay." Jiang seemed to be unable to dig the soil under the peony flowers at this time, so he had to nod his head according to the urge to find out.
Jiang Qiao took two steps forward and paused, as if talking to herself: "It's really strange that such a copper hairpin has fallen next to this peony flower." ”
Jiang who followed behind seemed to be dumbfounded.
Jiang Qiao is thick and fine, and sure enough, no one is a fool.
There are stone tables and stone benches in the Bayin Pavilion on the rockery, which is a good place to enjoy the cool in summer, and because it stands high, it can take in the beautiful scenery in the Houfu Garden.
Just now, Cao Xingyu met Jiang Xiang and the two in the garden.
Jiang Qian didn't even raise her eyelids at this, holding a cup of tea and tasting it slowly.
Jiang Pei was anxious to please Jiang Qian, and pointed out with one hand: "The fourth sister is really good-looking, standing in the peony bushes, she is really more delicate than flowers." ”
The second brother-in-law, Sven Neixiu, is also a noble Changxing Hou Shizi, and he can be regarded as a rare son-in-law, so she doesn't believe that the second sister is not nervous.
You must know that with the ginger-like appearance, let alone a man, even the woman can't help but take a look at it when she sees it.
Jiang Qian put the teacup on the stone table, and instead of looking at Jiang Pei in the flowers under the mountain, she looked at Jiang Pei fixedly.
Jiang Pei gradually felt a little uncomfortable, and he didn't know where he said something wrong.
Jiang Qian smiled suddenly: "Yes, don't say that among our sisters, even if you look at the capital, it is difficult to find anyone who can surpass the fourth sister in appearance." ”
She said and glanced at Jiang Yi, who was walking this way: "There is such a sister who looks better than Luoshen, and it is an honor to be a sister." ”
She has nothing to feel guilty about, Cao Xingyu is originally a pervert, once she targets a woman who has to get her hands on it, she will blame Jiang for being too attractive, but she has no relatives to rely on in the Anguo Mansion.
Seeing that Jiang seemed to be about to come to the pavilion as the two of them climbed the stairs, Jiang Pei smiled, not daring to talk nonsense anymore, and the dissatisfaction with Jiang Qian in his heart rose a little more.
The second sister has a good background and is well married, but she really doesn't have back pain when she stands and talks.
Everyone has a love for beauty, she doesn't believe that her second brother-in-law will not be moved if she has more contact with Jiang, and at that time let's see how the second sister cries.
Jiang Pei thought maliciously in his heart, as if he had seen something happen, and he was very happy.
"Why don't you two sisters play for a while?"
Jiang Qiao took the lead and sat on the stone bench at will, enjoying the coolness of the high place: "Although the peony flower is beautiful, I can't stand the strong fragrance after staying for a long time, so I just came up to breathe." ”
Jiang Qianyao glanced at the beautiful peony flowers, and showed a meaningful smile: "Yes, no matter how good the scenery is, I don't think it's special to see too much, but this peony flower is really worth seeing." ”
The sisters sat in the Bayin Pavilion for a while, and Jiang Qian took a few people back to their residence and arranged for the maid to lead the Jiang Yi sisters to rest.
"The east and west courtyards of the Shizi Institute have been empty, and before the sisters came, I had ordered someone to clean up the two courtyards, the third sister and the fourth sister lived in the east courtyard, and the fifth sister and the sixth sister lived in the west courtyard, do you think this is good?"
Without waiting for the others to speak, Jiang Pei preemptively said, "We all listen to the arrangement of the second sister." The second sister is really blessed, she has been married to her brother-in-law for a few years, and her brother-in-law doesn't even have a concubine. ”
Jiang Qian glanced at Jiang Pei, just smiled, and ordered the maid to lead the four of them down to rest.
Jiang Pei's face was sneering, and he felt more and more uncomfortable.
It's strange to say, she got a lot of benefits with her sweet mouth in front of her mother-in-law, why did she hit a wall everywhere when she came to the second sister?
What she said was obviously a woman's pride.
Jiang seemed to take in Jiang Pei's entanglements, and almost laughed out loud.
Poor Jiang Pei didn't know the inside story, and blindly flattered Jiang Qian and the Hou Shizi of Changxing, but he didn't know that every word was a slap in Jiang Qian's face.
The east cross courtyard of the Shizi Institute is not large, but it is better than quiet and elegant, at this time a begonia tree in the corner of the courtyard has passed the flowering period and has just produced green fruits.
"The bedding and bed tents in the east and west rooms have been replaced, which of the two girls lives in the east and west rooms?" The maid in Tsing Yi who led the two over asked with a smile.
"Where does the third sister want to stay?" There is no difference between the east and the west for Jiang Xiang.
Jiang Qiao's words were unexpected by Jiang Qi: "Why bother so much, I just sleep with my fourth sister." ”
The maid in Tsing Yi was also stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but look at Jiang.
"I'm used to sleeping alone ......"
Jiang Qiao grabbed Jiang's hand and said pitifully: "I'm a little unaccustomed to changing places at first, and I have to have a familiar person to sleep peacefully." Fourth sister, let me sleep with you. ”
Jiang seemed to think of Jiang Qiao's inadvertent protection in the garden, and almost couldn't help nodding, but when he thought of Jiang Qian's and his wife's hearts, he suddenly hardened, shook his head and said, "I'm still used to sleeping alone." ”
"In that case, I'll stay in the East Room."
During the day, the wind was calm, and soon it was time to hold the lamp, Jiang seemed to be dressed neatly and crooked on the couch to read a book after washing, but he listened to the footsteps from far and near, and finally stopped outside the door curtain.
