Chapter 169: Attending the Birthday Banquet
First of all, the people of Jiang's Mansion ruled out that Su Lan had just taken a suffocation, and the old lady had not given a good face in the past few days, in fact, the old lady had already guessed that there were definitely people in the second room who had been kidnapped by Jiang Wanxiu by Jiang Yang's thieves, so she warned Su Lan no less than a few times, and she did not take more responsibility because Lan was pregnant for five months.
White Qingqing? A brave and unscrupulous person, those killers are not good at first glance, and it is estimated that she does not have the ability to hire them.
Now it's possible that someone from outside the house!
Zhang Xiyue saw her thinking, and felt distressed again, finally Jiang Wanxiu sent Zhang Xiyue and the old lady away, Jiang Wanxiu went to Jiang Yu again, and gave him the talisman she asked for, and after a while of greetings between the two, Jiang Wanxiu returned to Fang Aixuan at night, and fell asleep quietly on the bed, on this day, she was too tired.
But she could not relax, and for the sake of her loved ones, she had to fight against everything.......
Three days later, Jiang Wanxiu's assassination has faded, ushering in the birthday of the old lady of the Leng family, and inviting the people of the official eunuchs, the old man of the Leng family is Jiang Chao's official, of course, the Jiang family will inevitably go to congratulate.
Jiang Mansion has been beautiful recently, Jiang Wanxiu is a top-grade lady, and the other two ladies of the Jiang family have also been named high-grade girls, and they are qualified to enter the Fengnu Academy, and Jiang Yu was also named the general of Xirong, and he will follow King Jing, so it is inevitable that he will show his ambitions in the future and glorify his ancestors.
As soon as the carriage of the Jiang Mansion stopped in front of the Jiang Mansion, the old lady Leng came to greet him in person, and those guests basically came to the Jiang Mansion, and they all greeted each other with smiling faces.
"Qingqing, Wanwen, Sister Wanxiu......" Leng Jinshuang stepped forward affectionately, grabbed Jiang Wanwen with one hand, and prepared to pull Jiang Wanxiu with the other, but she dodged without a trace.
Leng Jinshuang's face stiffened slightly, but he still smiled: "But I look forward to you, a few days ago, my uncle sent a lot of fashionable jewelry from Jiangnan, you can see if you like it." ”
"Wanxiu." Li Ting came with her father, and when she got out of the carriage, she saw Jiang Wanxiu, and her smile was even brighter.
Jiang Wanxiu said lightly to Leng Jinshuang: "Thank you Miss Leng for your kindness, I won't go." ”
Leng Jinshuang wanted to say something, but Bai Qingqing snorted coldly and said, "Sister Jinshuang, let's go, don't worry about her." ”
Leng Jinshuang was pulled away by Bai Qingqing, but when she saw Jiang Yu coming, her footsteps didn't move.
Jiang Yu came with Gu Haomo, and when Gu Haomo saw her, he smiled like a second fool.
"Sister Wanxiu." The young man laughed heartily and said in a concerned tone, "Are your injuries healed?" I want to see you, but we're going to the frontier with your brother soon, and we still have a lot to do......"
The smile on Jiang Wanxiu's face condensed slightly, and then smiled, as if to hide the sadness in her heart.
"When are you going?"
Although she knew that he would leave sooner or later, Jiang Wanxiu was still reluctant.
Jiang Yu raised his hand to pull up the broken hair on her sideburns, pursed his lips and smiled.
"Reluctant to me?"
Jiang Wanxiu nodded without hesitation.
The smile on the corner of Jiang Yu's mouth was a little bitter, how could he want to leave her, but the burden on his shoulders, from the day he decided to carry it, he could only go one way to the end.
"Don't worry, if there is nothing to do before the year, I will rush back to celebrate the New Year with you."
Leng Jinshuang walked over, his eyes fell on Jiang Yu, flashed slightly, and said in a soft voice: "Brother Yu, I heard that you are leaving Kyoto, Jinshuang is very sad." ”
When the people around heard this, their eyes wandered on Jiang Yu and Leng Jinshuang, as if they smelled something unusual.
Jiang Yu frowned slightly, and said coldly: "The man has ambitions in all directions, and he can only live a comfortable life." ”
Leng Jinshuang smiled on the side and said: "Yes, yes, if my brother is really ambitious, I really didn't read it wrong." ”
Those who didn't know the inside story only thought that Leng Jinshuang meant to praise Jiang Yu, but a few people who knew the inside story had a little unclear on their faces.
"I heard that Old Madam Jiang intends to marry Miss Leng to Jiang Yu, is this true?"
"But this Miss Leng family and Jiang Yu are very good matches...... Have they decided on this family matter? ”
"No, I haven't heard of it."
Li Ting listened to their words, her expression slightly darkened.
Leng Jinshuang's face was a little ugly, and when she thought of something, she still didn't leave embarrassed, but gathered around Jiang Wanxiu and Jiang Yu, as if they had a good relationship.
"Sister Wanxiu, you haven't been to Lengfu, there is a lotus pond in our back garden, I'll take you to pick lotus flowers."
Leng Jinshuang directly pulled Jiang Wanxiu away, and several other ladies also followed.
Li Ting came to Jiang Wanxiu's side and hesitated: "Wanxiu, your brother, do you really want to marry Leng Jinshuang?" ”
"Who said that?" Jiang Wanxiu smiled, "My brother doesn't like her again." ”
"But ......" Li Ting twisted the handkerchief in her hand, "They say that marriage is a big deal, but it is the words of the matchmaker at the behest of his parents, so he doesn't care if he agrees or disagrees......"
Jiang Wanxiu's tone was light, "Only he can decide my brother's marriage." ”
This time, no one could force him.
Li Ting was a little relieved at this time, but when she raised her head, she met Jiang Wanxiu's teasing gaze.
"Ah Ting, you ...... Do you like my brother? ”
Li Ting's face instantly turned red, "I ......"
Seeing her shyness, Jiang Wanxiu smiled and teased: "If you like it, you like it, if you don't like it, you don't like it, what are you blushing for?" ”
Li Ting looked up at Jiang Yu's back and muttered, "I like it, he's so good, who doesn't like it?" ”
Jiang Wanxiu pursed her lips and smiled, "My brother has a somewhat indifferent temperament, and he has never been pretentious about treating people, but if it is someone he cares about, he will definitely do everything he can to protect her and love her." ”
Li Ting looked at her enviously, "Your brother is so good to you......"
In Li Ting's view, Jiang Wanxiu is the person Jiang Yu holds in her heart.
When will I be that person?
Hearing this, Jiang Wanxiu hooked her lips and smiled, turning her head to look at her, "Do you want to be my sister-in-law?" ”
Li Ting was stunned for a moment, realized what Jiang Wanxiu was talking about, and her breath was suffocated.
There was a woman's crisp laughter behind him, and the corners of Jiang Yu's mouth couldn't help but smile.
"Jiang Yu." Gu Haomo took a step closer and smiled sheepishly, "What I told you last time, how did you think about it?" ”
Hearing this, Jiang Yu frowned, "What's the matter?" ”
"I'll be your brother-in-law!"
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Yu's brows furrowed even deeper, and he said coldly: "There is no door!" ”
"Huh?" Gu Haomo was unhappy, "Am I not good?" Am I not good-looking? Or am I not high enough? Not rich enough? Or ......"
"She doesn't like you." Jiang Yu's tone was light, who Jiang Wanxiu was pretending to be in his heart, he could see it clearly than anyone else.
Gu Haomo froze, scratched his head, and said unconvinced: "Sister Wanxiu doesn't know me yet, how do you know that she doesn't like me?" ”
Jiang Yu could feel that Gu Haomo was really interested in Jiang Wanxiu, otherwise he wouldn't have asked him three times or twice.
Sighing lightly, Jiang Yu said: "Gu Haomo, she is a delicate flower in the capital, she can't stand the bitter cold of the frontier, whether she marries you, stays alone in the capital, or goes with you, I won't agree." ”
Gu Haomo's face froze, with a little loss.
There is a large lotus pond in the back garden of Jiang's house, and this season, the lotus flowers in the pond are almost gradually gone.
The boat was ready, those ladies rushed on the boat with interest, Jiang Wanxiu helped Li Ting to stand on the boat, the boat shook a little, and Li Ting was so frightened that she grabbed Jiang Wanxiu's hand.
Immediately, Li Ting looked a little apprehensive, "Wanxiu, can you swim?" ”
Jiang Wanxiu shook her head, winked at her, and smiled: "What are you afraid of?" If you really fall, don't you have a chance to let my brother be a hero to save the United States? ”
Hearing this, Li Ting blushed and patted her in shame.
"Sister Wanxiu." Leng Jinshuang beckoned to her, "There are many lotus flowers here, come over quickly......"
Seeing this, Li Ting muttered: "Why is this Leng Jinshuang so enthusiastic about you?" ”
Hearing this, Jiang Wanxiu's eyes flashed slightly, what trick does this Leng Jinshuang want to do?
Leng Jinshuang glanced at the person who was rocking the oar, and the latter understood.
When the two boats were approaching, Leng Jinshuang stood up and walked towards Jiang Wanxiu's boat, and suddenly the hull of the boat shook, and Leng Jinshuang was so frightened that she grabbed Jiang Wanxiu, who was closest to her.
Jiang Wanxiu didn't expect her to suddenly catch herself, and the boat was unstable, so she couldn't break free of her for a while, and the two of them actually fell into the water together.
"Plop!"
There was a loud sound of falling water, which frightened the people around.
"Ahh Someone overboard! ”
"Someone! Come and help! ”
Jiang Yu, who was near the lotus pond, had been paying attention to Jiang Wanxiu, and when he saw her falling into the water, he jumped in without thinking about it, and quickly swam towards Jiang Wanxiu.
Jiang Wanxiu sank in the pond and choked on a few mouthfuls of water before she felt a tightness on her waist, and the whole person was carried out of the water by Jiang Yu.
"Ahem!"
Jiang Yu sent Jiang Wanxiu to the boat, and Jiang Wanxiu coughed violently.
Li Ting's face turned pale and patted her on the back.
"Wanxiu, are you okay?"
Jiang Wanxiu shook her head and coughed heavily.
"Save ...... Help me! ”
Leng Jinshuang's cry for help came from behind, and someone shouted: "Miss Leng is still in the water!" ”
Jiang Yu held his hands and was about to get on the boat, but seeing that Leng Jinshuang was still struggling in the water, he hesitated, but still swam over, scooped her up directly, and threw it to the frightened ladies.
With a "bang", Jiang Yu got on the boat and looked at her nervously.
"Wanxiu, how do you feel?"
Jiang Wanxiu shook her head, her face a little pale.
Her clothes were dirty and soaked, clinging to her body, and the pale pink inside was faintly visible.
Seeing this, Jiang Yu took off his robe without hesitation and wrapped it around her.
Leng Jinshuang looked at Jiang Yu's care for Jiang Wanxiu, a trace of light flashed in her eyes, her face was pale, and she looked a little weak, but she still said, "Sister Wanxiu, are you okay?" I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, your clothes are wet, so let's go change them first. ”
When the boat docked, Leng Wenhua and Gu Haomo immediately surrounded them.
Seeing that several people were soaked, Leng Wenhua hurriedly said: "Jiang Yu, your clothes are also wet, I'll take you to change your clothes first." ”
Jiang Yu looked at Jiang Wanxiu, obviously worried about her.
Seeing Jiang Yu's thoughts, Li Ting hurriedly comforted: "Brother Jiang Yu, don't worry, I will take care of Wan Xiu." ”
Hearing this, Jiang Yu nodded, turned his head to Leng Wenhua and said, "It's troublesome." ”
The subordinates of Jiang's mansion led Jiang Wanxiu to a small courtyard and said, "Miss Jiang, the water has been prepared, you bathe first, and the slave maid will prepare the clothes." ”
Jiang Wanxiu wanted to take a bath, but Li Ting couldn't follow, so she waited outside.
