Chapter 42: Night Comes
Guan Jiyu saw the person clearly, the confused expression on his face was fleeting, and his eyebrows were already stretched.
Xiao Qingyuan was still beside him, Guan Jiyu resisted this ridiculous remark, and didn't want to be defeated, and replied: "What? If this were my child, would you still want to be a godfather? β
Jiang Yingnian looked at Xiao Qingyuan carefully, and said loudly to Guan Jiyu: "It's a little similar to you, but I'm just joking, how old are you!" If the image is also like a sister, why take it so seriously. β
The corners of his mouth twitched, and his eyes were full of sly smiles, and he said, "If you have a child, what else should I be the godfather of Rausch?" It's only appropriate to be a father! β
Jiang Yingnian's joke, not only Guan Jiyu was dumbfounded when he heard it, but even Xiao Qingyuan on the side was shocked, looked at Guan Jiyu in disbelief, and said: "Oh my God, Lord Guan, you lover, you are wild enough to speak, enough to be a man!" β
Guan Jiyu was already embarrassed by Jiang Yingnian's sentence of "being a father", and was speechless when he heard Xiao Qingyuan's energetic "you lover".
"Ahem." Guan Jiyu coughed dryly, and hurriedly waved his hand to explain: "Xiao Qingyuan, this is Lord Jiang in the army, we are just colleagues, not what you said." β
Xiao Qingyuan didn't eat this, stepped forward and stared at Guan Jiyu's face carefully, and said in surprise: "Huh? Guan Daren, are you hot? Why did you blush all of a sudden? β
"Nothing." Guan Jiyu was almost overwhelmed by this child, so he changed the topic and asked Jiang Yingnian: "What are you doing running here alone so late?" How's the situation going in the east? Do you know that the Great General is here? β
Jiang Yingnian plucked out his ears and smiled helplessly: "Oh, I haven't heard you so nagging for a long time, it's really kind." β
He still looked relaxed and said, "Don't worry, I just saw that the situation in the east is quite stable at present, so I asked the general for a day off to come and see you." β
Guan Jiyu said uncomfortably: "Okay, you must be uncomfortable under the eyes of the general, so you want to sneak out and relax, and say that you want to take a day off to see me, where do I have that honor?" β
Jiang Yingnian saw that her face was full of disbelief, so she raised the black square box in her hand and said, "You still don't believe it, you'll know later." β
He waved his hand at Xiao Qingyuan on the side and said, "Child, don't listen to the adult's affairs so late, go back to sleep, I want to go out with you Guan for a while." β
Xiao Qingyuan pursed his lips, his eyes showed a look that saw through Xiao Jiujiu in his heart, and said: "Okay, okay, okay, it's the same person who has to work hard in the love field, so I won't bother you to work hard!" β
With that, she yawned and went back playfully.
Leaving Jiang Yingnian and Guan Jiyu in the night, he looked down at Guan Jiyu and said, "What, Lord Guan, can you follow me now?" β
"Where are you going?"
"You'll find out later, why are you still so romantic."
"Because there's no romance between me and you."
Guan Jiyu couldn't help Jiang Yingnian persuading and pulling her, there were soldiers keeping vigil at the door, and the impact of pulling and pulling was not good, so he went out with him.
The two of them walked all the way along the Yanjiang River promenade in the direction of the branch of the Helu Kingdom in the west, and Jiang Yingnian smacked his lips and sighed as he walked: "This is really no different from what Brother Helan said in the letter. β
Guan Jiyu said: "You won't pull me out in the middle of the night, just to check the terrain here with you, right?" β
Jiang Yingnian raised his eyebrows and said, "It's a shame that you are still the consul of the Yanjiang Corridor, isn't this the consciousness you should have?" β
Guan Jiyu said: "During this time, Helan has always been responsible for exploring the extension of the territory, and I am responsible for staying in the main city and taking care of some affairs in the city." β
Jiang Yingnian picked up a few wooden sticks, stopped and sat down on the spot, and said, "It's okay here." β
As he spoke, he placed the black square box in front of Guan Jiyu, raised his chin, and said, "Okay, now you can open it." β
Guan Jiyu pointed at himself and said, "Me?" β
Jiang Yingnian said: "Otherwise? Is there anyone else here besides you and me? β
Guan Jiyu had no choice but to squat down and carefully open the lid of the black box.
Originally, I was worried about whether this would be another prank by Jiang Yingnian, he loves to play tricks on people the most, in case he opened the lid and suddenly came out of something strange, it would not be good.
Guan Jiyu held his breath and gently lifted the lid, which contained a portion of food held in a porcelain bowl.
She didn't have to touch the bowl she was holding, she could already smell the sweet taste of glutinous rice.
Jiang Yingnian had already lit the fire and looked at her expression quietly with a smile.
Guan Jiyu really had a look of surprise on his face, and he raised his head with the square box and said to Jiang Yingnian: "It's eight treasure sweet rice!" Where did you get that? Is your food in the east already so good? β
Jiang Yingnian smiled low and said, "How is it possible, how can there be these things in the army?" It was the people of the eastern border pass who gave it to the general, and the general didn't like to eat these sweet and greasy things, so he gave it to me. β
He reached out and helped take it out and put it on the makeshift rack to heat it up. Said: "This is the only one, I think someone seems to like to eat it, so I am not embarrassed to swallow it alone." β
Guan Jiyu was surprised: "It takes half a day to come from the east, to say the least, you came so far just to deliver this eight-treasure sweet rice?" β
"Or else?" Jiang Yingnian's face was red by the firelight, and his eyebrows and eyes were even deeper and more handsome, and he said leisurely: "Fortunately, the weather is still cold at this time, otherwise this thing can't be put away, and it will spoil if you don't eat it in time." β
He said it very indifferently, Guan Jiyu was a little inexplicably moved when he heard it.
Jiang Yingnian turned over the firewood to make the fire burn more vigorously, and seeing that Guan Jiyu was silent for a long time, he glanced at her expression, found that she looked absent-minded and thoughtful, and asked, "What?" Speechless? β
Guan Jiyu glared at him and denied it: "What's this, you didn't do it yourself, if you made it yourself and sent it, maybe I can still be moved." β
"Okay." He kept turning the firewood in his hand, and said seriously: "Next time I have the opportunity to learn it, I will make it for you to eat." β
After the cold Babao sweet rice was heated, the rice fragrance became even stronger, and Guan Jiyu sighed: "Oh, how can I have this blessing, let our third son make it for me to eat?" β
She paused and said, "The eight-treasure sweet rice I gave you that year, didn't you even look at it at the end?" β
Jiang Yingnian didn't react for a moment, and wondered: "What? β
Guan Jiyu reminded: "That year, on your birthday, you were drunk and light. She coughed uncomfortably again, and said, "I didn't go empty-handed, and I don't know if you ate it." β
"Oh!" Jiang Yingnian suddenly realized, suddenly remembered this past, and affirmed: "Lao Tzu has eaten!" Why didn't you eat it?! β
Guan Jiyu teased: "There were so many people at that time, you didn't even look at it when I put it there, and then I got drunk and didn't know anything, who knows if you really ate it or fake it?" β
Jiang Yingnian's face flushed slightly, and he said firmly: "Lao Tzu will definitely eat it!" Who lied to you who is the grandson! β
"Uh-huh." Guan Jiyu shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said, "It seems to be already hot, don't you take it down?" β
Jiang Yingnian hurriedly took out a handkerchief from his arms, and carefully took it off with the bowl.
"Oops, forgot to get another empty bowl." Jiang Yingnian patted his head, and just ran out in a hurry as he pulled Guan Jiyu, and actually forgot to take the bowl.
Guan Jiyu pursed his lips and said, "There is only one pair of chopsticks in this food box...... How are we going to eat? β
"It's easy!" Jiang Yingnian picked up the chopsticks and said, "You eat with the end of the chopsticks, and I eat with the end of the chopsticks, and none of us will touch anyone." β
As he spoke, he picked up a chopstick head, stretched it out to Guan Jiyu's mouth, and said, "Open your mouthβ"
Guan Jiyu was naturally not used to such intimate movements, so he unconsciously dodged back, and said solemnly: "I'll come by myself." β
Jiang Yingnian had no choice but to hand her the chopsticks, and seeing that she had eaten two bites, she hurriedly snatched the chopsticks and said, "It's my turn, it's my turn!" β
He turned the chopsticks around, picked up a large chopstick head with the end of the chopstick, and ate it very sweetly: "I'm starving, and I finally ate this bite." β
After eating two bites, he picked it up with the end used by Guan Jiyu and handed it to her mouth, seeing that she still wanted to refuse, Jiang Yingnian urged: "Eat quickly, it's so cold, with your twisting work, this sweet rice has already been cold, how can you eat it." β
Seeing that she was still hesitant, Jiang Yingnian smiled helplessly and said, "Don't worry, I know your heart is not here with me, and I don't mean anything else." β
Guan Jiyu had no choice but to stretch out her head and eat the delicious food he gave her.
"What about me, what I gave you, whether you really ate it or fake it, I don't know!" Jiang Yingnian watched her finish eating, picked up a chopstick for herself, and complained while chewing.
Guan Jiyu said: "Are you blind?" Am I not eating? β
Jiang Yingnian took another big chopstick and put it in his mouth, and said vaguely: "It's not about this, just when I was in the camp in Beixin before, you suddenly fell ill at that time, and I was afraid that you would die of illness in Beixin!" β
"It took a lot of effort to get a lean chicken, and I asked the kitchen to get you chicken soup and put it at the door, and I forgot to ask you if you drank it?" Jiang Yingnian looked at the bowl, there was still the last date left, he picked up the date with his fingers and stuffed it directly into her mouth.
"This date is the sweetest, for you to eat."
The thing he inadvertently mentioned made Guan Jiyu's body cold, and soon, her body rebounded with an indescribable heat.
Startled? Mortified? Still embarrassed.
She didn't know, it was a mixed feeling.
He stuffed it into his mouth and said that the dates were indeed very sweet, soft and glutinous, Guan Jiyu chewed numbly, and his body regained its original consciousness.
For so long, she always thought that the cup of clear chicken soup was sent by Xiang Lincheng.
She would never have thought of the fragrance that she couldn't help but recall day and night, and she thought she would never forget the care and sincerity.
are all from Jiang Yingnian.
Guan Jiyu moved his neck with difficulty, and looked at Jiang Yingnian with a complicated expression.
Jiang Yingnian didn't notice her abnormality, and only said in slight surprise: "Won't it Guan Jiyu?" Are you so cold? If it weren't for the fact that you were sick to death, I wouldn't have secretly climbed over the wall to the back mountain in the middle of the night to catch chickens for you! β
He was still muttering: "But the snow was really heavy that night, you haven't been to the back mountain, you don't know how thick the snow is in the back mountain!" β
Guan Jiyu didn't notice it herself, and at this moment, she looked at the person in front of her carefully with a look that she had never seen before.
"The Year of the Silk." She searched hard in her mind and thanked seriously: "Thank you, actually, it's good when you don't hate it." β
Jiang Yingnian had just eaten the last bite of leftover rice, so he couldn't help but "poof" and said, "You can really do it, it's the first time I've heard someone thank someone so much." β
He glanced at Guan Jiyu speechlessly, and said, "When you are not annoying, you are also very likable." β
