41. First encounter with the heroine of the original book
Jiang Xingmeng and his party were almost strolling, so they found an inn to rest.
Dinner was a Lantern Festival, Jiang Xingmeng hadn't eaten such a hot Lantern Festival for a long time - most of the dishes at the palace banquet were cooled before the banquet began, which not only tasted bad, but also was not conducive to digestion.
She was almost moved to tears.
At night, she and Luo Shuanghan lived in a room, and the two sisters were lying on the bed, whispering.
Luo Shuanghan touched Jiang Xingmeng's head, and said earnestly: "Senior sister knows, Xiaomeng has matters and secrets, but no matter what, I just want you to be happy and relaxed." ”
Jiang Xingmeng revealed a face outside the quilt, blinked when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Senior sister has a lot of secrets and thoughts." ”
Luo Shuanghan was silent for a moment, and then said helplessly: "What is my secret...... Nothing more than ...... That's it, it's nothing. ”
Jiang Xingmeng: "......? ”
No, it's a big night, sister, do you think I usually sleep too peacefully?
Do you have to hang your appetite before bedtime?
However, she didn't dig deeper, after living in the deep palace for so many years, she had already developed the benefits of pretending to be confused, so she just yawned and said obediently: "Then senior sister, good night." ”
Luo Shuanghan: "......? ”
Yes? She is still waiting for the little sister to ask! Why is it good night?
Jiang Xingmeng was unaware of Luo Shuanghan's chagrin, and soon fell asleep.
In my sleep, the bustling lantern festival, the world that never sleeps, and the noisy long street...... Jiang Xingmeng vaguely saw his imperial brother.
She saw Jiang Ci standing on the street of Long Street, and said to her with a smile: "Mianmian, when Brother is not there, are you obedient?" ”
She desperately pushed away the crowd and threw herself into Jiang Ci's arms, crying and laughing: "Brother Huang! Sleep is very good and obedient......"
Luo Shuanghan couldn't sleep, firstly, because his cultivation was high and he didn't need sleep, and secondly, he was still struggling with "why didn't the little junior sister ask", turning over and over, very annoyed.
But I suddenly heard Jiang Xingmeng cry: "Mianmian is very good, Mianmian is very obedient......"
Some choked.
Luo Shuanghan was stunned, then took Jiang Xingmeng in his arms and patted her back gently, and soon, Jiang Xingmeng settled down and slept soundly again.
Luo Shuanghan thought in his heart while carefully folding the quilt for Jiang Xingmeng.
It turns out that the little sister's small character is sleep.
She couldn't help but laugh - it sounded good.
……
On the second day, Jiang Xingmeng and Luo Shuanghan came to the lobby of the inn early in the morning, drinking tea while waiting for Nan Zhixiang and Yu Qingge to come down, and then set off for the sword mound together.
The two were whispering, and suddenly heard a commotion outside the inn, Jiang Xingmeng tilted his head, and the words "I want to eat melons" were written in his eyes.
Luo Shuanghan couldn't help but smile and asked her, "Want to see it?" ”
Jiang Xingmeng nodded, shook his head again, and looked at Luo Shuanghan with some regret: "Although I really want to see it, we still have to hurry, so we can't delay time." ”
Luo Shuanghan said: "It's okay, they haven't come down yet-I guess this excitement is what you want to see." ”
Jiang Xingmeng was stunned.
Luo Shuanghan raised his eyebrows: "If I heard correctly, it should be the Lin family and the Xie family that have a conflict." ”
Luo Shuanghan is in the Transformation Period, and it is not surprising that he can hear their conversation.
It's just that......
Jiang Xingmeng lowered his voice and asked, "But Xie Heng, Xie Xing's family, and the Lin family in Shenbi City?" ”
Luo Shuanghan nodded, and also lowered his voice: "It sounds like it has something to do with the marriage contract." ”
Jiang Xingmeng said very naturally: "It's nothing more than that Lin Qingwan and Xie Heng have a marriage contract, but Lin Qingwan has a wish by her side, the Xie family and the Lin family feel that the marriage may not be guaranteed, but they don't want to take responsibility for themselves, so there is a conflict......
After a pause, she suddenly frowned, a little puzzled: "But although Lin Qingwan is a very bad person, she is very smart, she has been going back and forth between Xie Heng and Zhu Ye for so long, and there is no bad news coming out, there is no reason for the incident to happen suddenly." ”
Lin Qingwan can pedal two boats for so long without overturning, naturally she has the ability, and she won't be stupid, how could it happen suddenly?
Or is it ...... Someone is getting in the way?
Jiang Xingmeng was silent, rubbing the teacup, and fell into thought, but soon, she didn't have the heart to continue to think deeply.
The two sides of the Lin family and the Xie family began to push each other, and while retreating into the inn, they shouted and scolded each other, and they were about to fight.
Jiang Xingmeng had no intention of participating in the conflict between the two families, and pulled Luo Shuanghan to silently take half a step back, so that those people would not touch him.
But just because she doesn't look for trouble doesn't mean that things won't find her.
Soon, a petite girl surrounded by everyone in the Lin family looked around, and when she saw Jiang Xingmeng, she was stunned, and a trace of displeasure and jealousy quickly crossed her eyes.
She bit her lip, suddenly pointed at Jiang Xingmeng, and said, "Please also ask this Taoist friend to be a witness!" ”
Jiang Xingmeng: "......? ”
She silently took a step to the side, looking around with the others in the hall, pretending not to notice that the girl was referring to her.
Girl: "......"
She took a deep breath and said, "That fellow Daoist who wears a blue skirt with a Ling Xuan bun, please come and testify." ”
Jiang Xingmeng tore off his Ling Xuan bun three or two times, and used the shawl as a coat to cover the style and color of the clothes on his body.
Then he continued to look around, looking interested.
Everyone: "......"
looks like a very beautiful little girl, why is she still involved in covering her ears and stealing the bell?
The girl also saw that Jiang Xingmeng was unwilling, but she still insisted on pointing at Jiang Xingmeng: "You, come here." ”
Jiang Xingmeng really couldn't escape now.
She glanced at the girl, about fifteen or sixteen years old, who was delicate and lovely, who looked very protective, and who had an innocent look that made people not disgusted at all.
Jiang Xingmeng gasped, and then said helplessly: "This Taoist friend said, what kind of witness?" ”
The girl's eyes flashed, and then she pointed to the girl in the middle of the Xie family opposite, and said loudly: "The matter between me and Xie Jinlian does not need to involve the Lin and Xie families, I want to solve this matter alone with Xie Jinlian, and before the matter is resolved, the Lin and Xie families cannot lend a hand to the two of us." ”
Xie Jinlian? Jiang Xing dreamed about it, but he didn't find this name in the original book, so he didn't have any problem.
So she laughed with interest: "Okay, I promised, but ...... Why are you arguing? ”
Before the girl here could speak, Xie Jinlian over there choked up, and said with red eyes: "My brother Xie Heng and her cousin Lin Qingwan have a marriage contract, but Lin Qingwan has ruined the marriage of the Xie and Lin families, I found Lin Qingwan and wanted an explanation, but I didn't want Lin Qingyan to defend Lin Qingwan in every possible way......"
…… Wait, Lin Qingyan?
Jiang Xingmeng looked at Xie Jinlian in shock, and asked the girl tremblingly: "...... Are you Lin Qingyan? ”
