Chapter 17: Acquaintances Again

Jiang Yan just glanced at it and lowered her head and didn't dare to look more, opened the red lacquered bamboo curtain to let everyone in, and the skirts of several female dependents passed in front of her in turn, and suddenly a pair of blue satin stone and blue bottom small court boots appeared in front of her. Jiang Yan subconsciously looked up, but saw a familiar side face.

Before she could react, the person had already entered the lobby of the main house. Jiang Yan stood at the door, secretly wondering in her heart, what day is this, how can you see acquaintances one by one.

Xie Jingxing's face was the most outstanding she had seen since she arrived in ancient times, and it was very recognizable, with a straight nose and thin lips, phoenix eyes and sword eyebrows, and a bit of coldness. Although he is still a teenager, he is already tough with silk, in the splendid land of the capital, even the men also have a bit of fat powder, the young ones are fine, and the older ones are too heavy in wine. For example, Jiafu has a lot of good skin in it, but it is slightly greasy, and this kind of heroic teenager is really rare.

So this will never be that she recognized the wrong person, Jiang Yan vaguely remembered that he said that he was also from a certain Hou Mansion in the capital. She thought that the two would not have the opportunity to meet again, and she didn't go out of her way to remember it, after a few months, how could she still remember what the Qing Hou was.

She comforted herself, who would go to see a maid if she didn't have anything to do, and when she saw someone who looked similar, she couldn't think of the person she saw two months ago, and maybe he had forgotten himself...... After doing this mental construction, she continued to be on duty as usual.

In the main hall, Jia Mu and the others had already seen each other and sat down, and Xie Liu, the mother of Qing'an Hou, pointed to Xie Jingxing and apologized to Jia's mother: "My little grandson heard that my mother and I were going to come to your mansion to enjoy the flowers, so I have to escort us over, please forgive me for the rudeness." ”

Jia Mu waved her hand again and again, "Where did you say!" It's too late for me to envy such filial children and grandchildren! If my family Baoyu can be so sensible as Xiao Gongzi Xie, I will be grateful. ”

Mrs. Hou smiled slightly: "You are too humble, I have always heard that Baoyu is the most filial to you." As he spoke, he asked where Baoyu was, and if he was fine, he would invite him over, "Let their brothers meet too." ”

Jia Mu instructed the mandarin duck: "Go and bring Baoyu over." ”

The mandarin duck retreated, and after a short time, he brought Baoyu over. Another greeting and courtesy, give up your seat.

Mrs. Lao Hou saw her grandson and Jia Baoyu whispering below, so she said to Jia's mother: "Our group of adults are here, and their children are restrained here, so it is better to let them play elsewhere." ”

As soon as she proposed, Jia's mother naturally did not refuse, so Jia Baoyu took Xie Jingxing to the east wing.

As soon as they stepped out, Jiang Yan lowered her head, for fear that something would leak the filling.

The Qing'an Marquis Mansion is hereditary, although Xie Jingxing is youngest son cannot inherit the title, but his grandmother is indeed the sister of the Empress Dowager and the current aunt, and he has always been the most loved by his grandmother, and it is not a problem to ask the emperor for a title at all. The family doesn't ask for it, he himself prefers to practice martial arts, and he doesn't read the Bagu article at all.

Although one yearns for the battlefield and the other likes to fight in the house, both of them are carefully raised at home, and they are not interested in economic careers, so they have common topics when they talk about the world.

That Jia's mother took Mrs. Qing'anhou's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to the garden to enjoy the peonies, and most of the maids in the house followed, leaving only a few to watch the house. Jiang Yan also wanted to follow, but she was despicable, she said before that she was not interested in the guests, there was no excuse to fight with others, and she couldn't slip away if she wanted to.

Xie Jingxing and Jia Baoyu were talking about the fact that he had just come back from Jinling City a few days ago and talked about some Jinling scenery. After waiting for a while, no one came, so he prepared to call another person.

He swept his eyes into the courtyard, and just saw Jiang Yan who was still standing at the door of the main house, and stretched out his hand to beckon her over, "Shuang'er, you go to my house to take a look, why haven't you come here for so long." ”

It's good to be on an errand in the elder's house, and it's easy to get acquainted with other masters. Like Baoyu, she is firmly controlled by a few big maids around her, and the little maids in the room don't say their names, and they don't even recognize their appearances. And on an errand in the old lady's house, you can see you every day when you ask for peace and dinner, and no matter how outstanding her appearance is, the little maid is also easy to leave an impression in the master's heart, which is also something that the maids in the old lady's room have always been very complacent.

But now Jiang Yan would rather not have this preferential treatment, just treat her as a passerby, there are not some mothers-in-law and maids over there, why do you call her.

She scolded and turned and went to the backyard. I hope I've found the painting over there.

Jiang Yan heard the movement inside before she arrived at Jiangyunxuan, she hurriedly walked in, there were paintings in the room, and they were messy, but the people inside didn't care about this, and they were busy surrounding Meiren.

"What's going on?" Jiang Yan grabbed a little maid beside her and asked, "Second Master Bao is waiting for Sister Meiren to bring the painting." ”

"Sister Meiren accidentally burned her hands, and she is applying medicine at this time."

What? Why is it still burned when you take a painting?

She went directly to the charmer and told Baoyu what she was going to paint.

Meiren was applying medicine, and said depressedly: "Don't mention it, our second master doesn't know where to put the painting, I was looking for it just now, and as soon as I turned around, I was burned by this reckless girl!" ”

She glanced hatefully at the maid next to her, who was standing with her head bowed and bent over, her face full of fear.

With tears in her eyes, the maid sobbed and explained, "I didn't know that my sister would suddenly come to the main house, and when the tea was cold, I thought about changing the pot to a hot one." ”

As soon as he said that he was charming, he was even more angry, "Then you will bring the big copper kettle directly?!" Where to learn the rules! ”

The attacker next to her hurriedly persuaded the flattering person to dissipate his anger, "I know about this, there are several places to drink hot water, but she is just too lazy to run a few times to pour water." Bao Erye is not here, and the little maids will inevitably be a little looser, but fortunately, they just touched it and became a little red, and it should be able to disappear tomorrow. ”

Mei Ren was about to speak, but she hurriedly said: "Let's not talk about the rest, Baoyu is still waiting for the painting there, what can I do?" ”

"I'm not going out and I'm going to be burned by her! I've seen it in the study, and I have to ask the second master. Meiren looked at Jiang Yan and said, "It just so happens that Shuang'er is here, go back to the second master and ask him where he put it?" ”

Jiang Yan could say anything, so she had to go back again.

Over there, Baoyu and Xie Jingxing had already talked about other topics, and they only frowned when they heard Jiang Yan's report, "That's it, I really can't remember," he explained to Xie Jingxing, "This was given to me by the old lady a long time ago, saying that although my ancestral home is in Jinling, I have never been there, and I can know one or two hometown scenery by looking at the paintings." I didn't expect it to be misplaced. ”

Xie Jingxing naturally said that he didn't care, he looked at Jiang Yan who was standing in the room waiting for Baoyu's gesture thoughtfully. I don't know if it's his delusion, but I always feel that this girl's head is pressed very low, as if she is afraid that others will see her face.

There are big rules in the big family, and the etiquette of the maids when they return to the matter is also trained, and they can't look directly at the master's face, but they can't let the master look at the back of your head.

He saw that the other maids of the Jia family were not so ignorant of the rules this morning, what is going on with this maid?

Baoyu had already waved her hand to signal Jiang Yan to retreat at this time, and she had just breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, but she heard Xie Jingxing's voice "Slow!" You look up".

Jiang Yan instantly ran over tens of thousands of alpacas in her heart, she stiffened, trying to raise her head with a natural expression, and at the same time made a puzzled look.

Her previous impression of Xie Jingxing was that although he was born rich and noble, he was a chivalrous and chivalrous young man, and she felt that he should not do this kind of behavior of looking at other people's maids in other people's homes, so although he knew that his behavior was inappropriate, he insisted on not showing his face, but she didn't expect that no matter how upright he was, he was also a prince and grandson, and he grew up like a little overlord, and it was nothing to look at a servant girl.

Xie Jingxing stared at her for a few seconds, then suddenly smiled, and Jia Baoyu asked in confusion beside him, "What's wrong, Brother Xie?" Is there something wrong with Shuang'er? ”

Jiang Yan secretly prayed that he didn't find anything wrong, but unfortunately there was little hope.

Sure enough, Xie Jingxing said: "It's nothing, it's just that this twin looks a bit like an old friend of mine." ”

Jiang Yan sighed in her heart, and thought about it, as long as she didn't admit that she was Jiang Yan, Xie Jingxing didn't have any evidence, besides, she had witnesses in the house every day, and she only went out on vacation for two days in total, so a short time was enough for her to come and go? Who can believe it! She has a full alibi. As long as Xie Jingxing knows, he will never suspect that she and Jiang Yan are the same person.

She was ready to wait for Xie Jingxing to ask, but who knew that what he asked was, "Do you have a brother?" ”

Ha?

Puzzled in her heart, Jiang Yan still replied normally: "No." ”

Now it was Xie Jingxing's turn to frown, "How could it not be?" ”

Jiang Yan rolled her eyes in her heart, what she said, don't I know how many people in my family are? Not only did I not have it in this world, but I didn't have it in my previous life!

"There is only one sister in the slave family, and there are two younger brothers and one sister below, and there is indeed no elder brother."

Jiang Yan was puzzled, he asked her if she had a brother to do? Do you think she and Jiang Yan are brother and sister?

Wait a minute! Jiang Yan remembered, when she said it casually, it seemed that she probably pressed her sister's life experience of being abducted.

Jiang Yan's eyes changed instantly when she looked at Xie Jingxing!

This is simply a good person who touched Dayu! A sentence from a stranger who met in Pingshui still remembered it two months later, not only remembering but also helping him find his sister.

But I don't know that an eight- or nine-year-old child walking alone in martial arts is even more impressive, coupled with his miserable background, this is not a modern era that has seen all kinds of miserable stories, let alone two months, Jiang Yan can definitely make Xie Jingxing remember for two years.

"Maybe you're too young to forget." Xie Jingxing still insisted on his opinion, isn't it that the dragon and phoenix fetus are so similar? It's like a mold carved out.

Jiang Yan wanted to know what he was thinking, and she would definitely tell him that the dragon and phoenix fetuses were fraternal twins, and it was normal to look like them.

Thankfully, she didn't know.

Now Jiang Yan can only smile, and she is embarrassed to complain about the kindness of others.
