Chapter Seventy-Nine: Returning to Beijing (3)
Hearing Jiang Qi's question, Jiang Lin'er replied sluggishly: "No, how, how is it possible!" β
Listening to Jiang Lin'er's hesitation, Jiang Qi turned around and stared intently at her twinkling eyes and said, "Really? Then wait a minute, let my mother prepare three books and six ceremonies, and send them to Cai's mansion tomorrow morning, if you don't come to the door to propose marriage, Yan'er will say that your brother and I are unkind. β
Jiang Lin'er was so stunned by Jiang Qi's eyes that people didn't dare to look at each other, and only then did she say in a half-loud voice: "Brother, brother, or, maybe if, you can think about it again, Zhao Ji may not be as good as my brother thinks, and many things in this world will become." β
Regarding Jiang Lin'er's worries, Jiang Qi couldn't doubt it: "Impossible, I made a covenant with Zhao Ji a year ago, and we will definitely work together in this life." β
Seeing her brother's resolute look, Jiang Lin'er finally mustered up the courage to say what she had never dared to say: "Zhao Ji is already married!" β
"Marry γγγ who are you marrying!" After listening to the answer, Jiang Qi took a deep breath and spit out a few murderous words.
It was only at this moment that Jiang Qifang understood why he had been distracted these days. I couldn't help but ask, what's the matter, is it God's punishment for my repeated killings? When I go home, my lover either dies or marries another woman.
"It was not long after my brother was promoted to the captain of the Yue Cavalry, and the news of the marriage came out, but because of the chaos in Taiping Road, he didn't leave until he got married a few days ago." After speaking, Jiang Lin'er looked at her brother with great worry, although she couldn't bear it, she had to make it clear.
Not only her, but even her mother has been worried about this matter, since she asked today, Jiang Lin'er also knows that she can't hide, it's the same if she talks about it early or late.
However, Jiang Lin'er is still very worried when she looks at her brother's sharp eyes now, if he looks angry now, maybe she will be happier, after all, what kind of temper her brother has, she knows very well in her heart.
"Who are you married to??" Adjusting his mood, Jiang Qi continued to ask again, he wanted to know why his lover would leave him.
In fact, Jiang Qi also realized that there was a problem between himself and Cai Yan, and now Jiang Qi also regrets why Cai Yan didn't come to see him off when he went on the expedition, and he didn't ask.
"Hedong γγγγ" looked at his brother's blazing eyes, Jiang Lin'er said two words nervously.
"Wei Zhongdao!" Before Jiang Lin'er finished speaking, Jiang Qi understood who it was, the handsome young man who was sick and scared he saw in Yanshi.
However, mentioning Wei Zhongdao's name, Jiang Qi's long-lost memory once again popped up in his mind. In this inexplicable memory, Jiang Qi remembered Cai Zhaoji's other celebrity name 'Cai Wenji'.
At the same time, it is also clear that after she and Wei Zhongdao got married, Wei Zhongdao died of illness in less than a year, and then she will live a wandering half of her life.
Thinking of this, Jiang Qi's heart that had just died came to life, no matter what the reason was, he would never let Cai Yan marry someone else. After Jiang Qi was silent for a while, he suddenly asked, "When will you get married!" β
"Junior γγγγ junior high school" looked at her brother's gaze, Jiang Lin'er wanted not to say it, but she had to say it.
"The first day of junior high schoolγγγ hahaha, what a good day!" After listening to his sister's words, Jiang Qi laughed, this day is really good, the first day of junior high school is his birthday, it seems that this birthday is lively.
"Brother, are you okay?" Jiang Lin'er looked at her brother who suddenly laughed and hurriedly asked worriedly.
After laughing, Jiang Qi's face returned to normal, and he didn't continue the topic, and immediately changed his words: "It's okay, it's time for dinner, right?" Let's go and see Grandma and Luo'er. β
"It's fine, Shi'er! Serve the prince and change clothes, happy! Go and prepare a razor for the prince. Although she was a little worried, Jiang Lin'er hurriedly ordered the two maids who had just carried the brazier inside.
"Noγγγγγ"
Jiang Qi stepped out of the bathtub and looked at the scattered hair on the bronze mirror on the side, and said, "Li'er, this hair is a little too long for my brother, let's fix it together later, otherwise it won't look very energetic." β
Jiang Lin'er, who came up, forgot about her worries for the time being, brushed her brother's free hair, and said, "That's right, brother!" I heard my mother say that she would give her brother a crown ceremony after the year. β
Jiang Qi nodded and said that he knew, although men were generally twenty years old and crowned, but now that he was already a member of the imperial court of two thousand stones, it would be a little inappropriate if he did not perform the crown salute.
Then Jiang Qi thought that this sister is not young, and it is time to find a good family: "Well, I know, speaking of the crown salute, you are not young, you will be eighteen years later, it is said that you should find a mother-in-law after you are fifteen years old."
"Don't want it, it's good that Li'er has a brother and a mother!" was told by her brother, Jiang Lin'er had a headache when she remembered the few thresholds that had been broken by the matchmaker these days. Although there are many nobles, families, and young talents, none of them have entered the eyes of the law.
It's no wonder who let her have a good brother, those children who are usually invincible, compared with her brother in her eyes, don't even have the qualifications to lift shoes, how can she see it.
Regarding Jiang Lin'er's marriage, Jiang Qi is just a casual remark, to be honest, Jiang Qi is really reluctant to marry this well-behaved and lovely girl too early.
Besides, Jiang Qi is even a mess of himself now, how can he be qualified to talk about others. Jiang Qi smiled casually, then took the clean underwear and put it on and walked out of the bath.
came to the vanity of the outhouse, picked up the razor that had been prepared, looked at it in front of the bronze mirror for a long time, and touched the beard for a long time, Jiang Qi slowly shaved it off reluctantly.
For those who practice martial arts, long-term martial arts training requires a lot of meat and food supplements, and there is also a saying among the people that they are poor and rich in martial arts. However, a large amount of meat also makes the body of a martial arts practitioner develop quickly, although Jiang Qi is not yet eighteen years old, but this beard shaving has been done for two years, and now it is handy to shave.
Soon his bearded face was gone, and a well-defined cheek appeared in the bronze mirror.
As soon as the true face came out, the two maids who were waiting on the side looked at Jiang Qi's masculine and elegant handsome face in the bronze mirror, and their heartbeat unconsciously accelerated a lot. Especially when the corners of Jiang Qi's mouth showed a little upturned evil smile, the two of them were unconsciously stupid, and for a while, there was still a little bit of the cautious appearance when they just saw him.
"Ahemγγγ" Jiang Lin'er hurriedly made a fake cough, brought the two maids with spring water in their eyes back to reality, and then said: "Don't look at it, don't prepare a change of clothes for the prince yet." β
Then Jiang Lin'er said while combing Jiang Qi's hair: "It seems that my brother's good face is not small!" Even the little girl who was scared half to death just now has such a change. β
Jiang Qi carefully checked whether there was any residue on his face, and said: "Now I know why my brother needs a full beard on the battlefield, and his fierce appearance on the battlefield is much more useful than this little white face." Take several battles as an example, the sixth brother Yide, who is full of tiger beards in the army, has to defeat the enemy army first with the handsome Zilong every time. β
"But Li'er still prefers her brother's face like this, and she prefers others to call her brother Gongzi than to hear others call her General Qilin." For her brother's words, Jiang Lin'er smiled, and as she spoke, she tied the hair of the right length in her hand into a bun, and then wrapped a scarf embroidered with a goshawk and tied it, looked left and right, and nodded with satisfaction.
Since the two siblings reunited after a long absence, Jiang Lin'er's favorite thing to do is to tie her brother's hair, although there are many maids in the house now, but as long as she has nothing to do, she will definitely not pretend to others.
Hearing Jiang Lin'er's words, Jiang Qi couldn't help but say to himself in his heart: "I'm afraid it's impossible."
Jiang Qi, who had been tossed for a long time after half an hour, finally finished dressing, with a handsome face and tall heroic posture, he was definitely the best in the world.
A light-colored dark coat of exquisite workmanship indicates that he is rich, and the white knees and scarf add a touch of elegance to this luxury, but if you look closely, you can see that he has a faint sadness in his eyebrows.
"Squeak" As the door opened, a breath of cold air made Jiang Qi, who had just recovered, shrink his neck, stabilize his expression a little, and Jiang Qi took a step.
As Jiang Qi walked out of the door, the dense guards under the eaves saluted in unison: "Lord γγγγ"
Jiang Qihuan looked at the door, three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry everywhere he went, and he estimated that there were no less than thirty or forty people around this eaves alone, not to mention those outposts and secret sentries that could not be seen.
Seeing this, Jiang Qi couldn't help but smile bitterly, this guard was even tighter than the big tent guard of the Chinese army in his own army. However, Jiang Qi soon understood from the clothes that in addition to his own close guards, these guards also had many guards wearing the armor of the family's private soldiers.
Looking around, Jiang Qi finally stopped at the end of the corridor, where there was a person kneeling with his head hanging on his knees, and his body kept swinging, indicating that he had been kneeling for a long time.
Seeing Jiang Qi's gaze, Jiang Lin'er whispered in his ear and reminded: "Brother, Yan Ming has been kneeling there for a day and a night, General Yan has always blamed himself for his sister-in-law's death, saying that he failed his brother's entrustment and did not protect his sister-in-law, plus his brother suddenly fainted, Yan Ming blamed himself even more, and almost killed himself that day, but fortunately Uncle Da took the sword." Maybe my brother doesn't know that when my sister-in-law gave birth to Luo'er, Yan Ming also went to kidnap the imperial doctorγγγγγ"
Listening to his sister's slow narration, Jiang Qi was very comforted by what Yan Ming had done these days, especially when he heard that Yan Ming risked the crime of Zhulian and hijacked the imperial doctor's order to go to the mansion for treatment, Jiang Qi looked at him deeply. At this moment, in Jiang Qi's heart, Yan Ming has been included in the ranks of his henchmen.
As Jiang Lin'er finished speaking briefly, Jiang Qi walked quickly to the corridor and went straight to Yan Ming. It's just that when he got closer, Jiang Qi didn't help Yan Ming up with emotion, but shouted: "Get up!! β
For a while, Jiang Qi's roar with anger shook Yan Ming, who was about to lose consciousness on the ground, was instinctively startled, and then came to his senses.
Looking up at the gorgeously dressed and mighty young man in front of him, Yan Ming, who had just woken up, was stunned for a moment and then prostrate on the ground, and instantly said with tears in his eyes: "I have a humble duty entrusted by the lord, and I have not protected my wife, please give Yan a γγγγ to die."
For the guards, no matter whether they are on the battlefield or not, once their master lives and dies, they have to be buried by themselves, so Yan Ming feels that once the mother he protects dies, he naturally has to apologize for his sins with death.
"Get up γγγγγγ" Jiang Qi glanced at Yan Ming's iron armor that was still frosty, and did not agree to his request, but shouted again. Even though the voice was low this time, the guards around him felt terrified, especially Jiang Lin'er, who had just rushed over, and the hairs on his whole body stood up in an instant, as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
