Chapter 67: The Test Has Just Begun

Jiang Zhiyuan was categorical, turned around and returned to the Sibai Pavilion.

"Stop!" Master Jiang shouted.

"Does my father have any other commands?" He stopped.

Master Jiang walked up the stairs and came to Jiang Zhiyuan's side: "If you still have a relationship with the Guo family, don't stalemate anymore." ”

"What does my father mean by that?" Jiang Zhiyuan turned his face slightly.

"Are you really for your own career?"

"Or else?" His eyes on Lord Shangjiang.

"You are usually smart and logical, why can't you figure it out at this juncture?" Master Jiang said bitterly, "Let me ask you, what is the status of our family in Yangzhou City?" ”

"Does my father look down on the Guo family as a merchant family?" He frowned.

"I'm confused!" Master Jiang scolded, "Can my father be the same as those snobs?" ”

Master Jiang carefully persuaded: "I am the parent official of Yangzhou City, and the Guo family is a businessman who does business. During the reign of the first emperor, collusion between officials and businessmen was strictly prohibited, don't you know? ”

The father said this, and the son also thought about it, but the father is a fair and honest official, and since he asked about it, he has never used his power for personal gain, and he has always handled cases fairly and justly. How could they collude with businessmen? ”

"You and I know it, but those outsiders don't. Those who love to tell right and wrong can always make something out of nothing. If you marry Xiao Xiao and the relationship between the two families is known, if one day someone falls into the handle, I can't even tell if I have a mouth. ”

"Those of them who like to play with right and wrong, let them do it! It would be good for my father to have a clear conscience. ”

Master Jiang sighed: "My son is still too young. If you want to add sin, why should you do it? ”

"What is my father worried about these things? This is groundless. Jiang Zhiyuan entered the Sibai Pavilion and said when he closed the door, "Father, rest early." ”

Master Jiang knows his temperament, and it will definitely not work hard to be tough. The most important thing now is to prepare the dowry for marriage, the marriage has been decided, even if Jiang Zhiyuan wants to regret it, it is useless. Lord Jiang treats Jiang Zhiyuan like a frog boiled in warm water, and he has to take his time to make him soften.

Let him make trouble, Guo Xiaoxiao must have been disheartened at this time, as long as Guo Xiaoxiao lets go, will the day of compromise be far away from Jiang Zhiyuan?

Jiang Zhiyuan lay on the bed, thinking carefully. The letter sent to Lord Hai before was not sent by the post post, but by the small servants in the house, but I didn't expect it to be intercepted by Lord Jiang. Today, Lantian intercepted Guo Xiaoxiao's letter again, who else in this mansion can be his confidant?

One by one, they were afraid of Lord Jiang's rights, and they obeyed him on the surface, but secretly obeyed Lord Jiang's arrangement, no wonder his letter could not be sent. Looks like he's going to have to make a trip himself.

Jiang Zhiyuan stole Lord Jiang's private seal and wrote a letter of repentance in the name of Lord Jiang. The previous one was intercepted, it was not written in the name of Master Jiang, even if it was sent, it would be useless.

He wrote another letter and handed it to Jiang Feng, asking Jiang Feng to personally send it to Guo's mansion. The other little guys couldn't believe it anymore. He knew that Master Jiang was already preparing for the dowry, and without further ado, he rushed to Suzhou the next day.

A small servant ran to the yamen to report to Lord Jiang, saying that Jiang Zhiyuan had gone to Suzhou, and Lord Jiang immediately sent someone to arrest Jiang Zhiyuan. Jiang Feng is Jiang Zhiyuan's confidant, and Lord Jiang detains Jiang Feng in the mansion.

Jiang Feng couldn't go out, and none of the people in the family dared to go to Guo's mansion to deliver letters. Jiang Feng was so anxious to walk around in the attic, except for eating and going to the toilet every day, Jiang Feng couldn't see anyone else. In this way, Jiang Feng spent a day in the attic.

On the first day of the second lunar month, that is, the day after Jiang Feng was imprisoned, the maid brought food to Jiang Feng. Jiang Zhiyuan's nurse, Aunt Qiong, began to wander in the courtyard again.

When Jiang Feng saw Aunt Qiong, he had a flash of inspiration and went out of the attic under the pretext of going to the toilet. There were four servants, two of whom followed him to the hut, and two of whom guarded the door of the attic.

Aunt Qiong was wandering around, crazy, no one paid attention to her, but she could walk around the Jiang Mansion at will.

Jiang Feng was agile behind him, and it was okay to deal with the two of them. He knocked the two little guys unconscious and walked into the courtyard to talk to Aunt Joan.

"Here you go, send this thing to someone." Jiang Feng shoved the letter into her hand.

Aunt Joan looked at him blankly and smiled stupidly.

"Remember that girl last time?" Jiang Feng squeezed his eyebrows and described to her, "The eyes are very beautiful, they look smart, remember?" ”

Aunt Joan nodded violently.

"Put it away, don't let people see it, you must deliver it."

Jiang Feng watched her put the letter into her clothes, and then returned to the attic with confidence. The two knocked down little guys soon woke up, and together with the two guards in the attic, they began to look around for Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng made a gesture to escape, deliberately attracting the little guy. The four servants escorted Jiang Feng back to the attic and re-imprisoned him.

It is not difficult for Jiang Feng to escape, these little guys are not his opponents, but as soon as he escapes, Lord Jiang knows that the four little guys can't control him, and will send more people to watch him, and he really can't escape at that time.

Moreover, as soon as he escaped, Lord Jiang knew that he must have gone to do something for Jiang Zhiyuan, and when he was discovered by Lord Jiang, good things turned into bad things.

Now he pins his hopes on that crazy Aunt Joan, and he is sure. Although Aunt Qiong's brain is a little unclear, she still knows how to recognize the way and people. As soon as Jiang Feng said that goose-egg-faced and watery girl, Aunt Qiong knew it at once.

Even though the little guys had concerns in their hearts, they couldn't find out that they were tired, and Jiang Feng didn't run, so they were helpless.

Aunt Qiong got the letter and left the Jiang Mansion, her legs and feet were very neat, and she soon arrived at the Guo Mansion. She knocked vigorously at the door, and a servant came to open the door, and when she saw her in disarray, she did not want to see her.

"Where did you call Hanako? This is not the place you should be, go fast! ”

"Don't don't, this little brother, I'm looking for the eldest lady." Aunt Joan stepped forward to stop him and wouldn't let him close the door.

"Miss, is it what you want to see? Hurry up, or I'll hit you with a broom. ”

"Hey, little brother, I'm ...... I'm looking for Miss Xiaolan, I have something important to tell her. Aunt Qiong took out a little bit of broken silver from her arms and gave it to the little girl, "The little brother is tired of passing it on his behalf." ”

The little servant looked around and quickly accepted the broken silver: "You wait outside the door first." ”

Aunt Joan took a few steps back and watched the little girl close the door. After a while, Xiaolan really came.

Aunt Qiong stepped forward and handed the letter to Xiaolan: "This is what Jiang Feng asked me to hand over to you, and I will hand it over to the eldest lady." ”

When Xiaolan heard that Jiang Feng had sent it, she hurriedly pulled her aside and said softly, "Are you?" ”

Xiaolan looked at her and felt a little familiar, but she couldn't remember who it was.

"I'm ...... The old mother of Jiangfu. ”

"I can't accept this letter." Xiaolan returned the letter.

"Miss Xiaolan, you must accept it!" Aunt Qiong closed her hand holding the letter, "It's about the marriage of the two families, please accept it." ”

Xiaolan remembered what Mrs. Guo said, and from now on, she could no longer match Jiang Zhiyuan and Guo Xiaoxiao, so she decided to refuse. But looking at the old mother's appearance, if Xiaolan didn't accept the letter, the old mother would not leave.

"Okay, take it, you go quickly, there are many people here."

Aunt Qiong left the gate of Guo's mansion, hid in one place and watched Xiaolan hide the letter in her arms, and then entered Guo's mansion before leaving.

Guo Xiaoxiao barely took some decoction last night, and he was falling asleep at this time.

Xiaolan returned to the wing, didn't dare to make a sound, and quietly hid the letter under the collapsed mattress. Guo Xiaoxiao was very sick and didn't notice it.

Xiaolan stepped forward to cover the corner of Guo Xiaoxiao, and said in her heart: Miss, don't blame me, I'm doing this for Miss's good. Knowing that there will be no result, you can't hit it again. Today's young lady is trapped by love, and she is seriously ill, and all the black smoke and miasma will dissipate with this serious illness. In the Ming Dynasty, Miss was light again.

Guo Xiaoxiao's illness is very serious, and he is often so sick that he talks nonsense. Xiaolan trembled with fright and hurriedly called Mrs. Guo. Mrs. Guo couldn't hear what she was saying, so she could only ask for a doctor.

The doctor said that she was sick and anxious, weak and weak, not physically ill but mentally ill. When the heart disease is cured, the body disease will also be healed.

Mrs. Guo was so anxious that she hid her face and cried, and rushed to Guo Xiaoxiao's bed: "Xiaoxiao, are you asking for your mother's life?" You're getting better, mother, please get better! ”

Master Guo also came to see a few times, since he has a heart disease, no matter how good the doctor in the world is, there is no other way, Master Guo sighed again and again.

This illness was a combination of cold and fever, which did not heal for many days, and gradually, even the coughing lung disease came out; In addition, she is not cold-tolerant, and she has never suffered any hardships on weekdays, so she can't bear this disease at all, and she is almost running out of oil.

The pain of a heartache is no weaker than a flesh wound. The body is already suffering from a vicious disease, and at this time, the heartache is getting deeper and deeper, which is even worse, and the winter is cold!

Mrs. Guo washed her face with tears every day, and Xiaolan quietly handed over the letter sent by Aunt Qiong to Mrs. Guo. Mrs. Guo didn't want to open it at all, so she just asked Xiaolan to throw it in a charcoal basin and burn it.

"When he comes back in the future, he will not be seen!"

Xiaolan lowered her head, glanced at Guo Xiaoxiao who was sleeping on the bed, squatted down and lit the envelope.

The best cure for a wound is time, and beyond that, it is to fall in love with another person.

When the situation is at its worst, can it be any worse? The worst-case scenario is nothing more than God taking her life. However, God's test of her has just begun, how could she be allowed to die so easily!

Yes, God still won't let her go.

If the husband is obscene and rainy, it will not open for months. The spring rain lingered for half a month, bathing the land of Yangzhou, red flowers, and green Jiangnan. The swallows return to their nests, and the kale outside the east wing grows excellently.

The spring breeze blows, the roller blinds on the verandah flutter with it, and the wind chimes make a tinkling sound. The snow had already stopped, turned into ice water on the ground, and dissipated into gas.

Xiaolan opened the doors and windows, and fresh air poured into the room.

The melodious song of the birds reached her ears, and the faint smell of lilacs came from the tip of her nose, and she slowly opened her eyes, and something was shaking in the haze. Is that a sachet embroidered with a peach blossom pattern?

I'm so tired, my whole body hurts, so I'd better close my eyes and rest.

Someone was crying in his ears, but he was crying and laughing again, and there seemed to be a lot of people around.

"Miss, it's awake!"
