Chapter 5 It's Dusk and I'm Alone

Faint and warm fragrance, like silk and mist. Jiang Xiaoyao woke up in a scent.

In a trance, I saw a carved mahogany bed, and a pale pink light gauze curtain hung down.

The rosewood bookcase, on the case, an elegant vase with a handful of vegetarian plums. There is also a simple and elegant wardrobe and dressing table......

The room was already lit up, a wisp of incense was rising, and the air was filled with a light fragrance. This is obviously the boudoir of the ancient lady.

Looking out the window, it was already dusk.

There was a moment of blankness in Jiang Yaoyao's mind, and he slowly recalled the border city crossing...... Ordered to be in danger, galloped back to Jidu in the starry night to report the news...... Finally, he succeeded in reporting the mission and fainted in front of the gate of Jidu City......

And at this moment, he is already in the imperial capital of the Great Qi State - Jidu City, which is the boudoir of the eldest lady Jiang Xiaoxiao in the general's mansion.

In a daze, I heard the sound of the bead curtain ringing.

A maid dressed in green with delicate eyebrows walked in from outside, saw Jiang Yaoyao who woke up, and said in surprise: "Miss, are you awake?" ”

Jiang Yaoyao, who was in a daze, asked in a daze: "What's wrong with me?" ”

The green-clothed maid's tone was extremely happy: "Miss, you have woken up, you went back to Jidu that day to report the news, fainted in front of the city gate, and have passed out for three days." ”

Jiang Yaoyao looked at the green-clothed maid - Xia Lan, who had followed Jiang Xiaoyao since she was a child, thought that she was already in the General's Mansion, so she wanted to inquire about the current situation at home:

"Xia Lan, how is my family in the past few days when I am sick?"

Xia Lan stepped forward and tucked the quilt for Jiang Yaoyao.

"Miss, in the past few days, Madame and Aunt Lan have sent people to see you every day, Madame ordered me and Yingchun to guard you day and night, as long as Mademoiselle wakes up, let us inform Madame immediately."

Before the words fell, the bead curtain outside the door was lifted, and a handsome girl in pink clothes walked in, this is what Xia Lan said about welcoming spring.

Yingchun saw that her young lady had woken up, and her eyes were red with joy: "Miss, you are awake, Xia Lan and I have been going crazy in the past few days." ”

Jiang Yaoyao saw their true feelings revealed, and his heart swelled with a little emotion.

Xia Lan also wiped away her tears gently, but immediately burst into laughter:

"Yingchun, let's not patronize Huanxi, the eldest lady has not eaten water and rice for three days, let the eldest lady get up and drink some porridge first, right? Miss, can you sit up? ”

Jiang Yaoyao nodded and sat up with the support of the two maids.

Yingchun Huan said happily: "Miss, wait a minute, I'll go and bring you porridge." ”

Yingchun turned around and ran, and after a while, he took the meal and came back.

Yingchun was serving Jiang Yaoyao to drink porridge, Yan's mother in the lady's room heard the news, Jiang Xiaoyao glanced at Xia Lan, Xia Lan hurriedly got up and went out, and intercepted Yan's mother in the outhouse.

"Mom, the eldest lady has rested."

Mother Yan waited for Xia Lan to finish speaking, and said lightly: "It's okay, it's okay for the eldest lady to wake up." ”

"Madame said that it was getting late today, so she would not come to see the eldest lady in person. Mrs. asked me to bring good bird's nest and ginseng, and let the eldest lady make up for her body. ”

Xia Lan hurriedly said; "Thank you, madam, mom has worked hard, Xia Lan sent you out."

Not long after Yan's mother left, the maid Huaxiu beside Aunt Lan came.

Hua Xiu was dressed in a light yellow shirt, with smart eyebrows and eyes.

She smiled and said, "My aunt was very happy when she heard that the eldest lady was good, but her body was bulky and inconvenient to come to visit in person. Now that the young lady has woken up, my aunt is relieved. ”

Xia Lan smiled and replied: "Thank you aunt for your concern, Miss is weak and has rested, Sister Huaxiu, please go back."

Xia Lan instructed the little girl in the outhouse to send Hua Xiu away, turned around and went back to the house, and said to Jiang Yaoyao indignantly:

"Aunt Lan is really getting more and more domineering! In the past, he was quite polite to the eldest lady, but since he was pregnant, he heard a fortune teller say that this baby must be a young master, so arrogant that he doesn't know who he is! ”

"Let's just say that this time the young lady came back to report that she fainted, and the lady invited a doctor, and came to visit in person, and also sent a lot of tonics."

"This Aunt Lan has never been here once, and she is still talking nonsense everywhere, saying that she doesn't believe that Miss can do such a big thing. As for saying that the saint still wants to be rewarded, it is even more impossible. ”

Jiang Yaoyao's eyes pondered when he heard this, and some fragmented fragments suddenly appeared in front of him.

The general has been fighting all the year round, and the motherless child is at home by himself, and the humiliation he once suffered is now vivid, like the sun burning.

Jiang Yaoyao clenched her fists slightly, pinched her palms lightly with her nails, and sneered secretly, this Aunt Lan, don't come to provoke me in the future.

The current Jiang Yaoyao will definitely no longer be a puffed bag at the mercy of others. In two days, when I am healthy, I will have a good understanding of this Aunt Lan.

After a few days of coma, Jiang Yaoyao was already moving freely. It's just that his face is still pale and he often gets dizzy.

When the sun is good, she will stand in the yard in a daze.

The small courtyard is elegant, and a few plum trees are enchanting, which reminds her of her own world, and there are also large plum blossoms in the park near her home......

A chill spread from the soles of his feet to his heart, Jiang Yaoyao tightened his cloak, and had a firm thought in his heart: I must go back!

"Miss, go back to the house and warm up, it's too cold outside."

Xia Lan's words made Jiang Yaoyao come back to her senses instantly, she nodded, turned around and walked towards the house.

Xia Lan untied Jiang Yaoyao's cloak, stuffed a hand stove in her hand, and picked up the charcoal fire in the house a little stronger, Jiang Yaoyao suddenly felt warm in the room.

"Yingchun, is the bird's nest stewed for the eldest lady good?" Xia Lan helped Jiang Yaoyao, who was dizzy from walking, and frowned at Yingchun, who had just entered the door.

Yingchun put down the needlework in his hand and left. Before he went out, he turned back again, and said with a smile on his face:

"There was a good news to say, the eldest lady came back to report the news in time, after the reinforcements went, they met with the general and broke the enemy army, and now the border war is suspended, I heard that the master will be able to return to Jidu in a few days."

Jiang Yaoyao was very happy when he heard this. The general escaped danger and made new contributions, and he also had his own share of credit in this.

Thinking that he led the crowd to break through and turn the tide, Jiang Xiaoxiao suddenly felt honored and honored.

Jiang Yaoyao's father, the general of the Great Qi State, Jiang Zonghan, the first-class protector of the country, had outstanding military achievements and was unsurpassed in the dynasty.

The general's wife is Sun Yun, the daughter of Sun He, the former squire of the military department.

In addition, there are two aunts. Jiang Yaoyao's mother, Aunt Lin, was weak and died of illness when Jiang Yaoyao was a child.

Another aunt, Lan Rujin, was pregnant for one month before the general's expedition, and the general has been on the expedition for half a year, and there will be two more months, and the family will be added to Ding.

A few days later, the general returned to Jidu.

The General's Mansion was jubilant, opening the middle door, sprinkling the courtyard, and waiting to welcome the General back to his home.

Jiang Yaoyao sat in front of the dressing mirror, and she gently stroked the face of the woman in the mirror.

This face looks exactly the same as Tang Bai, as if Jiang Yaoyao was Tang Bai's previous life.

The same looks, the same radiance.

It's just that there is a slight difference in clothing and head shape.

Jiang Yaoyao retracted thousands of thoughts in a trance, and if he came, he would be safe.

Then, today, let's get to know all the people we should face anew.

Jiang Yaoyao turned his head and smiled indifferently at Xia Lan: "Comb my hair." ”

The dressed girl's face is more delicate, and her pale face adds a touching charm.

Yingchun came in with a curtain: "Miss, there is news from the outer courtyard, the master has entered the palace to face the saint, and he will return to the house in a while, let's go to the front hall and wait." ”

In the front hall, Jiang Yaoyao saw the legendary lady and Aunt Lan, and after seeing the ceremony, Jiang Yaoyao looked at her two stepmothers.

The lady is graceful and luxurious, with a red robe with large sleeves and a golden phoenix hairpin inlaid with gems in her hair.

I haven't seen her for half a year, and my wife looks a little older. Her expression also became more and more indifferent and forbearing.

Think about it, I have been married for many years, I don't have a son and a half daughter, and there are a lot of unpleasant things, so I have to endure it if I don't want to.

Although Aunt Lan has a bit of a look, her expression is domineering. When the eyebrows are raised, the beautiful eyes flow.

Everyone who was swept by her gaze could feel her undisguised impertinence.

Aunt Lan's belly was already holding up her dress high, her hands were on her stomach, and she spoke extremely hard.

Looking at the arrogant Aunt Lan, Jiang Yaoyao smiled secretly in her heart: I want to see what you are capable of, let the horse come over!
