Chapter Twenty-Eight: Guarding in the Dark
Chapter 028: Guarding in the Dark
After three rounds of drinking, Jiang Dong'er kept looking at Su Xiaoman and Su Yu, as if envious, like a blessing, and sighed from time to time, as if he had something on his mind.
Jiang Dong'er is both civil and military, and he is undoubtedly the first person in Sanhe Town among the younger generation, what is he struggling with?
Su Xiaoman looked at Jiang Dong'er, and finally couldn't help asking: "Dong'er, I know you have something to say to us, since there is no more mustard between us, just say it if you have anything to say!" ”
Jiang Dong'er and Su Yu and Su Xiaoman resolved the misunderstanding, and the relationship between the three was better than before, but now Jiang Dong'er was confused, so he thought of Su Yu and Su Xiaoman for the first time.
Jiang Dong'er looked at Su Xiaoman and Su Yu, and then drank a big bowl of wine in one go, he didn't have any expression on his face, slowly stood up, and said slowly: "Among the four of us, Xiaoman is the smartest when he is young, and now he can see through my heart, so let's do it! I will tell you my suffering: Next month, I will get married!" Jiang Dong'er did not contain any joy when he said this, and even a little bitter, and it could be seen that he did not want to marry at all.
Su Yu was surprised: "What! You're about to get married!" Jiang Dong'er is eighteen years old this year, and Su Yu didn't believe that Jiang Dong'er would get married so early.
Jiang Dong'er nodded and said: "This is arranged for me by my father, after I get married, I will inherit the Jiang Mansion and the Jiang family's property, in fact, in fact, I don't want to get married at all now, it's just that I can't go against my father's wishes", Jiang Dong'er was full of bitterness and sorrow.
Su Xiaoman said: "You have always liked freedom, I know you don't want to get married now, since this is the case, I'm afraid you don't have a choice, I don't know which girl you want to marry?"
Jiang Dong'er said: "The daughter of the Zhao family...... Zhao Muqing. ”
There used to be four major families in Sanhe Town, the Jiang family, the Zhao family, the Chen family, and the Hu family, since Jiang Ling and Jiang Qi took over the Jiang family, the Jiang family is in full swing, and the Zhao family, the Chen family, and the Hu family have gradually declined, especially the Chen family and the Hu family, which have basically declined and lost their influence.
Although the Zhao family is weak, but still has a certain influence, looking at the entire Sanhe Town, the Zhao family is still the largest family in addition to the Jiang family, now the leader of the Zhao family is Zhao Zhonghua, Zhao Zhonghua has a son and a daughter, the son is Zhao Muke, in the recent martial arts competition he won the top six good results, and once entered Nanshan with Su Yu and others to hunt for treasures.
Zhao Zhonghua also has a daughter, it is Zhao Muqing, Zhao Muqing's handsome, not only knowledgeable, but also a female worker, in the eyes of others, Jiang Donger and Zhao Muqing can be regarded as a good match, talented and beautiful, and it is a match made in heaven.
Su Xiaoman and Su Yu knew that Jiang Dong'er didn't want to get married so early, and he didn't like Zhao Muqing, but these things had already been arranged by his parents, and he had no choice at all, so he came over to Su Xiaoman and Su Yu with wine today.
Su Yu said: "What a cruel thing it is to marry someone you don't like at all, wasting your youth, blaspheming your love, and leaving only hatred for the rest of your life." ”
"What a cruel thing it is to marry someone you don't like at all, to waste your youth, to desecrate your love, and to leave nothing but hatred for the rest of your life. 』
Su Xiaoman said: "Dong'er, whether you get married or not, the affection of the three of us will always be there, my brother and I will always be your best friends, by the way, and Jiang Jian, I believe he has forgiven you!"
Jiang Dong'er smiled and said, "I am so happy to play with you today, I have no regrets, I think that when I am lonely and lonely in the future, as long as I think of the time with you, I will be a lot happier."
"When I get married next month, I hope you don't come, for me, getting married is just a responsibility, and it has nothing to do with happiness, so I don't want to get your blessings. ”
Su Xiaoman recalled the time when the three of them had taken care of him, and thought of Jiang Dong'er's care for him, tears couldn't help but flow out, and he cried and said to Jiang Dong'er: "Dong'er, I'm sorry, thank you for your deep friendship with me all the time, but, but I only like my brother......"
Jiang Dong'er shook his head with a wry smile, and said to Su Xiaoman: "Xiaoman, you don't need to say this, I respect your choice, and I sincerely wish you well, I hope you can be happy." ”
Jiang Dong'er looked at Su Xiaoman for a long time, as if he had something to say, but he couldn't say anything, as if there was something unspeakable.
Seeing this, Su Xiaoman said to Jiang Dong'er: "Dong'er, at this moment, what else do you want?"
Jiang Dong'er looked at Su Xiaoman, stood for a long time, his throat moved, and finally spit out: "Xiaoman, can I hug you?"
Hearing Jiang Dong'er say this, Su Xiaoman was at a loss for a moment, and after a moment's struggle, he set his eyes on Su Yu, as if waiting for Su Yu's reaction.
Su Yu thought in his heart: Dong'er has a deep affection for Xiaoman, so why not hug it!
In modern society, for those who are indecent, even if they go to bed, it is not more than a thing, kissing each other, let alone just hugging.
Su Yu was open-minded and felt that this was nothing, so he looked at Su Xiaoman and nodded.
Su Xiaoman understood what Su Yu meant, slowly walked up to Jiang Dong'er, slowly raised his hands, hugged Jiang Dong'er tightly, and cried: "Dong'er, I'm sorry, I only have one life, and I can't give it generously to someone I don't love!"
Jiang Dong'er's arms were tightly placed on Su Xiaoman's back, and he spat softly: "I am very honored to have your understanding, and I am very grateful to be able to hold you so tightly, even if it is only for a moment." ”
Jiang Dong'er was extremely happy to be able to hold Su Xiaoman like this at this moment, and thought about it in his heart: It is my responsibility to marry the girl of the Zhao family and inherit the family industry, and what I really want to do is to protect you with my life.
I know that the people who protect you are not only Su Yu, not only me, but also Jiang Jian.
Jiang Jian's affection for you is a kind of brother's concern for his sister, which is a kind of righteous and bright guard;
And I am carrying the responsibility of the whole family, I can't protect you openly, but I can protect you secretly, in Three Rivers Town, no one can touch you, if one day you want to leave Three Rivers Town, I will also leave, as long as I exist for a day, no one in this world can touch you.
You don't need to be grateful, because it's all for my own sake.
In this era full of helplessness, protecting you is my greatest relief.
After a long while, Jiang Dong'er's hand slowly moved away from Su Xiaoman's body, and the three of them sat down again, and soon after Fang sat down, Jiang Dong'er took out three pills from his arms, handed them to Su Xiaoman, and said, "Xiaoman, I heard that you were not feeling well a few days ago, I have a few pills here, you can take them!"
Su Xiaoman hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I've recovered, you don't have to worry, as for this pill, I don't think I need it, you better keep it for yourself!"
Jiang Dong'er's face was a little serious, and he said lightly: "These pills are rare tonics, even if your body and bones have recovered, taking these pills is also very beneficial, you just take them." ”
Su Xiaoman said again: "Dong'er, I understand your kindness, but my illness has recovered, and I really don't need to take these pills." ”
Jiang Dong'er insisted: "Xiao Man, you are resigning in the third place, don't you don't believe me, worried that there is something wrong with this pill, and you dare not take it?"
"Where are the words", seeing Jiang Dong'er say this, Su Xiaoman couldn't refuse anymore, so he took the pill from Jiang Dong'er's hand while speaking, and took it in turn, seeing Su Xiaoman take the pill, Jiang Dong'er's mind finally relaxed.
It turned out that these three pills were not ordinary pills, but were extracted from the Panlong root, on the same day, when Uncle Su sent the Panlong root to Jiangfu, it happened that Jiang Dong'er was also there, Jiang Ling wanted to boil the Panlong root into juice for Jiang Dong'er to take, but Jiang Dong'er secretly changed the Panlong root, and exchanged the fake Panlong root for the real Panlong root, the fake Panlong root had been boiled into juice and was taken by Jiang Dong'er, and the real Panlong root had been refined into a pill, which were these three pills.
In fact, from the beginning, Jiang Dong'er never thought that he wanted to occupy Su Yu's Panlong Root, but he had to obey Jiang Ling and Jiang Kui's orders, so he made this decision.
Jiang Dong'er originally wanted to find an opportunity to give these three pills to Su Yu and let Su Yu take them by himself, but seeing that Su Yu and Su Xiaoman were no longer distinguishable from each other, it was not the same who took them, and Su Xiaoman had a cold a few days ago and his body was weak, so he gave these three pills to Su Xiaoman.
Everyone thought that Jiang Dong'er had taken this Panlong root, only Jiang Dong'er himself knew that he had given this Panlong root to his most important person, at this moment, seeing Su Xiaoman taking this Panlong root, Jiang Dong'er was also a lot happier, and the three of them chatted a lot.
The sky was getting dark, Jiang Dong'er stood up, a stiff smile appeared on his bitter face, and said: "It's not early, I should go back too, I told you the bitterness in my heart today, and I suddenly felt a lot easier, thank you." After Jiang Dong'er said this, he bowed to Su Yu and the others.
Jiang Dong'er was about to leave, Su Yu felt that Jiang Dong'er had drunk a lot of wine and was very worried about his safety, so he asked, "Why don't we send you!"
Jiang Dong'er didn't say anything, didn't even look back, just shook his hand.
Su Xiaoman said to Su Yu: "Although we can empathize with some things, we can never persuade them, so let's go down this road by himself!"
At this moment, Jiang Dong'er turned his head slowly and shouted loudly: "Su Yu, if one day you do something sorry for Xiao Man, I swear, I will never let you go!" Without waiting for Su Yu to say anything, Jiang Dong'er left after speaking.
Jiang Dong'er's figure gradually faded away, until it disappeared, Su Yu held Su Xiaoman tightly in his arms, and after a while, Su Yu said to Su Xiaoman: "Everyone only knows Jiang Dong'er's innate wealth and status, but they don't know the pain in his heart, all along, his bosom friends are only us and Jiang Jian, and his real loneliness and loneliness are only we can understand." ”
Su Xiaoman said: "He was born with a yearning for freedom, but living in a big family like the Jiang family, as Jiang Ling's only son, guarding the huge family industry, how can he be really free, I still remember that last year, he actually went down to the river to catch fish in the late autumn, this is his silent resistance, but even if Jiang Dong'er does this, Jiang Ling still doesn't understand." ”
Su Yu said: "Perhaps, Jiang Ling doesn't understand, but he doesn't want to understand." ”
Su Xiaoman said: "For the sake of the family industry, Jiang Ling is willing to sacrifice Dong'er's freedom and happiness, it's really too much!"
Su Yu said: "This is human nature!"
Su Yu stopped talking, Su Xiaoman didn't ask any more, and after a long while, the two packed up their things and walked back.
