Chapter 176: The Capital
The next step is to rush non-stop.
Half a month later, Jiang Yao and Ji Huaiye finally arrived in the capital.
The carriage entered the capital and stopped directly outside Duanfu.
Ji Huaiye and Jiang Yao got out of the carriage one after another.
I saw an old man who looked like a housekeeper waiting at the door.
When I saw Ji Huaiye, I was happy.
The old man almost trotted over, and Ji Huaiye hurriedly supported him.
"Uncle Duan!"
"Huaiye, I haven't seen you for a few years, it's changed a lot." Duan Bo looked Ji Huaiye up and down all over his body, and said with satisfaction.
The eyes are full of love for the younger generations.
Duan Bo's gaze fell on Jiang Yao.
Ji Huaiye introduced: "Uncle Duan, this is Jiang Yao, the person I like, and my fiancΓ©e. β
Jiang Yao showed a well-behaved smile and called sweetly: "Uncle Duan." β
Duan Bo suddenly showed a kind smile.
"Huaiye will also have a sweetheart, I thought Huaiye didn't know what he liked." Duan Bo teased.
Ji Huaiye didn't speak, just looked at Jiang Yao's eyes with gentleness.
Jiang Yao also had a smile on her face, as if she was a little embarrassed.
"Uncle Duan, the teacher is ......," Ji Huaiye asked.
"Oh, master," Duan Bo's brows furrowed when he said Taifu Duan, "You're tired of traveling, come in first, wash up, and I'll take you to see the master." β
The family always has rules, and at all times, it is necessary to pay attention to grooming and etiquette.
Ji Huaiye's appearance is indeed a little sloppy.
Although he was anxious, he also waited patiently and went to the courtyard where he was staying.
Although Ji Huaiye and Jiang Yao have a marriage contract, they are not married, and they are not a real husband and wife.
Therefore, Duan Bo thoughtfully arranged for them in two courtyards.
One courtyard is for male guests and the other courtyard is for female guests.
Ji Huaiye tidied up, shaved off his stubble, tied up his long clean hair, and changed into incense clothes, and then went to see Mrs. Duan.
Jiang Yao also washed up.
Duan Bo was very thoughtful, and specially allocated her a few capable maids to serve her.
After Jiang Yao washed up, she originally wanted to visit the Taifu, Ji Huaiye's mentor.
"Miss Jiang, the housekeeper said that Master Ji and the master are catching up, let the slaves and maids take you around the mansion."
The maid had a baby fat face and smiled cutely.
Jiang Yao thought about it in her heart, and this is indeed the truth.
They are masters and apprentices, like father and son, no matter what Taifu Duan's health is, whether he and Ji Huaiye are catching up or meeting for the last time.
It seems inappropriate to take the initiative to go by yourself.
Unless Mrs. Duan takes the initiative to see herself.
Jiang Yao didn't get too entangled in this, and followed the maid to arrest him in Duanfu.
This section of the mansion is large, according to the maid, this mansion is given by the saint today.
Duan Taifu once taught the current saint, and then saved the car, and the saint gave the prince a mansion, and even the door plaque on the door was inscribed by the current saint himself.
It can be seen from this that this Duan Taifu is favored.
However, the companion is like a tiger, even though he was so favored and had such a close relationship with the emperor.
was still degraded for a while, and almost died in a foreign country.
Jiang Yao couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
Suddenly, Jiang Yao suddenly stopped.
Behind a courtyard, it turned out to be a peach blossom forest.
At this time, it is the time when the peach blossoms are in full bloom, and they are red, like a fairyland.
Jiang Yao stared at the peach blossom forest.
"This is the peach blossom planted by the young lady." The maid hurriedly said, "Girl, do you want to take a walk in this peach blossom forest?" β
Jiang Yao nodded and walked into the peach blossom forest.
A gust of wind blew, and the red petals fell, like a rain of peach blossoms.
Jiang Yao was in the middle of it, and for a moment he felt that he had forgotten what it was.
"Miss, I'll take it down for you."
"No need, this peach tree is too tall."
Jiang Yao suddenly heard two voices in front of him.
She walked in the direction of the voice.
I saw that under a peach blossom tree, there were two people, a young lady dressed and a maid dressed up.
Jiang Yao looked at her, the young lady was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a small pink face, she didn't seem to be in good health, and she had a light and elegant temperament.
She looked up at the kite under the peach tree, as if she was a little reluctant, but she still stopped the maid from climbing the tree.
The maid beside Jiang Yao immediately saluted when she saw the girl.
"Miss."
Jiang Yao thought, it seems that this is Miss Duan.
Miss Duan looked at Jiang Yao and was a little surprised.
The maid hurriedly said, "This is Miss Jiang." β
"It turned out to be a guest." Miss Duan looked at Jiang Yao, a little shy.
Jiang Yao looked up at the kite: "I'll help you get it." β
"You don't have to ......"
As soon as Miss Duan's words fell, Jiang Yao had already risen in the wind, and when she fell back to the ground, she already had an extra kite in her hand.
Jiang Yao found that the kite was quite delicate, and the person who made the kite was also quite skillful.
Jiang Yao handed the kite to Miss Duan.
Miss Duan was a little stunned, but quickly came back to her senses, took the kite, and thanked her.
Miss Duan was a little shy and invited Jiang Yao into the courtyard for tea.
Jiang Yao was bored and interested in this shy and beautiful Miss Duan, so she nodded and followed her into the courtyard.
Miss Duan made flower tea for Jiang Yao.
Jiang Yao watched her cook tea, and the beauty cooked tea, not a landscape.
After cooking, Jiang Yao took a sip, which was full of fragrance.
Jiang Yao is actually a layman, and he is not interested in elegant things such as drinking tea.
However, drinking this tea also brings out a little interest.
Miss Duan was a little happy to see that Jiang Yao loved tea.
Starting from hobbies, the two gradually chatted.
Jiang Yao knew a lot about her from Miss Duan's mouth.
She loves peach blossoms and loves to cook tea.
Because of her poor health, her father planted a peach blossom forest for her.
However, her father's desire to control seems to be somewhat strong.
When her father was belittled, she wanted to follow, but her father forcibly stayed in Beijing.
Everyone said that her Duan family had lost power, and the sisters who had come and gone in the past were all alienated from her.
Even the subordinates are a little sluggish.
She has a soft personality, she doesn't seem to care, she endures everything, but in fact, she still cares about these things.
Jiang Yao can see that this is a small stuffy gourd.
"You can't always be bored with troubles, if you have to say it, your heart will feel better." Jiang Yao said.
Miss Duan stuck out her tongue, rarely showing her playful side.
"There's no one to talk to. By the way, sister, you are your father's guest, do you want to live in Duanfu for a long time? β
Miss Duan asked, blinking at Jiang Yao with some expectation in her eyes.
"I came with Huaiye to visit Mrs. Duan, and when he left, I will leave whenever he wants." Jiang Yao said.
"Sister and Brother Huaiye are here?" Miss Duan was a little surprised, hesitated, and asked, "Sister and Brother Huaiye are ......?"
"Three media and six hires, about to get married." Jiang Yao said.
Miss Duan was stunned for a moment, and the light in her eyes was a little dim.
After that, he was not so close to Jiang Yao.
Jiang Yao quickly noticed.
Could it be that this young lady also likes Ji Huaiye?
