Chapter 38: Compromise
Jiang Zitong shook his head, leaned over and picked up the glass bowl that rolled to the ground, fortunately there was a carpet on the ground, and the glass bowl was not broken: "Little girl, what do you know at such a young age?" ”
Gu Miao was sullen for a while, he was an ignorant little brat, and pouted angrily: "Don't talk about pulling it down, I'll tell my mother to go and send you home in a while." ”
"Don't tell your mother, I'll wait for Gu Xin to cover me and sneak out, so that your brother won't be scolded." Jiang Zitong very patiently picked up all the grapes scattered on the ground, and there was no abnormality on his face, and he was still as smart and cunning as usual.
"Where did you sneak out?" Jiang Zitong suddenly became so easy to speak, Gu Miao always felt that something was wrong.
"Go back to the Jiang family, otherwise where else can you go, don't delay, otherwise I really won't be able to go back when it's late, you hurry up and call your brother in!"
Gu Miao suddenly realized "oh", jumped out of bed all of a sudden, and hurriedly ran out of the room to find her brother, but she was not allowed to enter Gu Xin's room again, so she could only go back to the room in frustration.
After a while, she heard a knock on the door, and she rolled over and got out of bed, and opened her door, only to find that the door was empty, and there was a whole bowl of crystal grapes on the floor.
This Jiang Zitong, Gu Miao laughed out loud, picked up the grapes that night and went back to the room to eat.
On the outskirts of Yicheng, by the Shanghu Lake, there is an ancient village with a very long history, and a solemn and quaint courtyard is located in the center of the village. Passing through the private garden lined with pavilions, water pavilions, rockeries, and a five-bay hall, all the furniture is made of dark and high-quality nanmu, even the beams and pillars are no exception. The plaque furnishings are masterpieces, luxurious and magnificent.
"You rebel!" The gray-bearded old man of the Jiang family is already not confused, dressed in a neat and straight suit, holding a red sandalwood cane engraved with dragon patterns in his hand, a pair of gold-rimmed eyes loosely resting on his nose, and glaring angrily that he still has a stunning majesty.
"The father paid the debt to the son, and he made a mistake and was caught, but he asked me to help him pay it back." Jiang Zitong, who was kneeling on the ground, had a straight back, but there was a lot of disdain in his expression, and his tone was not humble or silent.
Old Man Jiang picked up the cane in his hand, and landed on Jiang Zitong's back with a "snap": "Is this what you should say for the Son of Man?" ”
Jiang Zi was given a crutch, but he bit his lower lip tightly and didn't make a call.
The old lady of the Jiang family on the side was already distressed, so she quickly hugged her grandson, and kept wiping the tears in her eyes with a handkerchief: "If you want to fight, hit me!" What to do with a child! It's not the child's fault in the first place, you didn't take care of your son yourself, and you made such a big mistake, but you want to beat your grandson. ”
The old man hated it when he saw this, the old woman spoiled the child like this, and her son and grandson were all spoiled by her, but now she blamed him for not taking care of his son. If his son is not angry, he also hates iron and steel, and he also feels sorry for his grandson's grievances, but now that the imperial capital is forced to do so, he can only grieve his grandson. How did their Jiang family fall to the point where they had to sacrifice their grandson's lifelong happiness to survive?
Thinking of this, the old man became more and more depressed, shook his hand and threw away the crutches in his hand, sat on the Nanmu chair, his dry and emaciated hands clenched into fists and hit the Nanmu table, silent, and the heavy crutches rolled down to the ground paved with Beijing bricks, making a clanging sound, and I don't know whether it was pleasant or alarming.
The old lady and Jiang Zi were both shocked, and such old men were not common for them. Jiang Zi has a sour nose, can you blame grandpa? The culprit is in the imperial capital, hmph, maybe he is still enjoying the wonderful taste of Xiangche BMW, which is sought after by everyone, but behind him is to exchange his lifelong happiness for being able to continue to enjoy that ethereal vanity.
Jiang Zitong comforted his grandmother, stood up, and held the old man's hand like the vicissitudes of an ancient tree, "Grandpa, I just agreed when I came back, but I have one condition." ”
He had no choice, his father Jianghuai was caught by someone for his inappropriate behavior, and he originally returned to Yicheng from the imperial capital to go to school to avoid the limelight. Now only the marriage between Tong Guò and the more powerful Chu family can keep his father and the Jiang family.
There are no eggs under the nest, and before he came back from the imperial capital, he felt that the attitudes of the people around him had changed, and his father had not had an accident, but there was a little rumor and it was like this. If the Jiang family falls, he and his younger brother don't know where the future is.
Old Man Jiang looked up, but saw those eyes that looked like himself, their eyes were burning, firm and calm, and they did not have the same perseverance as he should have at his age. This grandson is most like when he was younger.
He knew that his grandson had his own decision, and sighed: "Say it." ”
"I want to stay in Yicheng to go to school, and I won't go back to the imperial capital before the college entrance examination." He never wanted to go back to that environment, although the conditions in the imperial capital were good in all aspects, but he was so depressed there that he was going crazy. In the future, he will have to face his "fiancée" Chu Yuyuan, and he will be even more devastated.
How could Old Man Jiang not know his grandson's thoughts: "According to you, but I want to go back to get engaged during the winter vacation, the Chu family has set it, and the date has been set." ”
Jiang Zi was speechless at the same time, even if he ran away from home, he couldn't stop anything, everything was set.
"Grandpa, ...... in the future" He wanted to say that he would definitely find a way to get out of the marriage in the future, but he didn't say it, and who would know what happened in the future. If it didn't move, Chu Yuyuan himself regretted it.
Seeing this, Old Man Jiang could only sigh in his heart, what does this girl from the Chu family like about her grandson? Do you have to toss the ups and downs of such a city? But this time, thanks to the girl of the Chu family, she fell in love with her unsuccessful grandson, otherwise......
Besides, a few days later, the two brothers and sisters of the Gu family had breakfast together, Gu Xin whispered to Gu Miao that Jiang Zitong was about to get engaged, Gu Miao was so shocked that he forgot to chew the eggs in his mouth and swallowed them directly, almost choking to death.
He is two years younger than Gu Xin, he is only in the second year of junior high school, and he is about to get engaged? This life plan is too advanced, right? Thinking of him running away from home a few days ago, Gu Miao had an answer in his heart, and cast an inquiring glance at Gu Xin, only to see him close his eyes and nod vigorously.
Gu Miao's heart couldn't help but feel sympathy for Jiang Zitong, from her uncle and the classmates' comments about Jiang Ziyi, she only had a vague impression of the Jiang family. Jiang Zitong's father probably held a small official position in the imperial capital.
So what is the intention of a family like the Jiang family to set such a marriage for their children so early, it is nothing more than seeking marriage asylum, right? Thinking of Jiang Zitong's slightly unruly face like that, he must be very unwilling, right? No wonder he ran away from home......
However, this incident did not bring great changes to Gu Miao's life, and when he saw Jiang Zitong again, he was still so radiant and laughing, or even the same...... Bullying her all the same.
Early in the morning, Jiang Zitong appeared in their classroom:
"Gu Miao, why didn't you let Ah Yi give me your homework? Who made you lazy? ”
Gu Miao's sympathy for him in her heart was pitiful, like the remnant snow in the sun disappeared without a trace immediately, when she met such a plague god, she was worried about his fiancée.
"It's done! Here! Gu Miao stuffed the homework book into Jiang Zitong's hand with disdain.
"That's pretty much it." Jiang Zitong quickly looked through it and returned it to Gu Miao: "It's not bad, don't forget to ask Ah Yi to bring your homework back to me today!" ”
"Got it!"
"Take class, I'm leaving." Jiang Zitong threw up the school uniform and put it on his shoulders in a chic manner, and left.
Gu Miao had scolded Jiang Zitong back and forth thousands of times in her heart, but what she didn't notice was that although she was very reluctant, this matter seemed to have become her habit. In those days when Jiang Zitong was away, she had no confidence in her homework.
She didn't see it, Jiang Zitong turned her back and left, with a relaxed and happy smile on her face, sure enough, this little girl's aggrieved and bored expression was the best healing elixir!
