The way back took half an hour longer than when I came, and when I arrived at Fu'an City, the sun was about to set, and the entire western edge was dyed red, and the light of the sunset seemed to cross a layer of golden veil. Su Qing said goodbye to Jiang Shining and the others after entering the city gate.

Jiang Shining picked up the curtain of the car, watched Su Qing slowly disappear into the crowd, then put down the curtain, and said to himself: "The person is a good person, but I don't know what the family background is?"

Song Jun frowned, "What are you talking about?"

A hint of cunning flashed in Jiang Shining's eyes, and he straightened his face and said, "Choose a son-in-law for you, and see if it's the right one." ”

Song Jun's face immediately turned red, but he couldn't get angry, "What are you talking about, my father has his own opinion on this matter." ”

Jiang Shining smiled, she held Song Jun's hand, and said solemnly: "Then you have to like it, Song Jun, no matter who that person is, as long as you treat you well and give you good, it is good." ”

Jiang Shining didn't want Song Jun to be bound by a piece of paper like himself.

When Jiang Shining returned home, he was also bumped into by his father Jiang He, who had just returned home, the father and daughter stared at each other at the gate, Jiang He was still wearing an official uniform, his body was slightly thin, and his sideburns and hair were black and white.

Under Jiang He's stern gaze, Jiang Shining retracted his feet on the threshold, stood up in a proper manner, saluted Jiang He, and called his father.

Jiang He nodded and asked, "What are you doing, only coming back now?"

"I went to Shanyin Temple with Song Jun. ”

When Jiang He heard this, his cheeks moved, and his gray short beard straightened into a line, Jiang He took out the majesty of being a father and said: "Girls still don't go out to show their faces, they are all people who are about to get married, don't let people see jokes." ”

Although Jiang Shining was dissatisfied in his heart, he still nodded and agreed.

Jiang He didn't speak again, turned around and walked towards the courtyard. Jiang Shining also followed.

After Jiang Shining returned to the room, he found that he was missing a tassel hairpin, and subconsciously rummaged in the room, but to no avail, only to realize that it should have been left outside.

If you lose a hairpin, it's nothing, if you lose it, you lose it, but this hairpin is a pair, Jiang Shining likes it too, and now there is one less, Jiang Shining had to pull off the tassel hairpin on the other side of the hair and reinsert it in the hair.

At dinner, the family sits around and eats their own with the etiquette of eating without saying a word.

Jiang Shining ate relatively quickly, when she put down the dishes and chopsticks and was about to leave the table, Jiang He also put down the chopsticks at this time, and he said to Chen: "The matter of buying a dowry for Shining will be handled by you, and you can't treat Shining badly in this matter." ”

Chan nodded.

"Tomorrow, the palace will send someone to teach Shining to learn the etiquette of the palace, and then Shining will cooperate well and learn to learn. Jiang He said to Jiang Shining again.

Jiang Shining also nodded, and then retreated from the table.

On the way back to the room, Jiang Susu held Chen's arm, the lights in the corridor were swaying, and the surroundings were quiet.

Jiang Susu remembered his father's words and couldn't help asking: "Mother, I heard that Jiang Shining's mother left a lot of dowry when she died, did Jiang Shining bring these over?"

Chen snorted.

Seeing that Chen responded, the unbalanced trend in Jiang Susu's heart rose again.

"That's nice. ”

Chen Shi heard the sourness in Jiang Susu's tone, and glanced at Jiang Susu in disarray.

"We can't move the things left by the Liang family, just follow the girl, you don't want to think about it, when you first got married, your father wanted to marry you, and it was only after your mother said that your father agreed to marry the girl. ”

Jiang Susu thought about it, and her heart was a little more balanced.

"When I got married, it should have been Jiang Shining in front, she was older than me, how could there be a reason for me to marry first. Mother, if I get married, my dowry can't be less than Jiang Shining, I want to be beautiful. ”

"I can't give anything to your mother, I want a dowry, and then I will go and say good things to your father. ”

Jiang Susu stopped in a huff after hearing this, and Chen also stopped, Jiang Susu stomped on the spot with a small temperament, and said aggrievedly: "Dad doesn't care about me, there is Jiang Shining in the front, Jiang Yong in the back, I am the easiest to be forgotten by you in the middle." ”

Chen poked Jiang Susu's brain and scolded: "Who said that your father doesn't care about you." You cultivate your beautiful temperament well, and in the future, you will marry the prince and the princess, and your father will give less in the dowry?"

Hearing this, Jiang Susu was in a good mood and pillowed Chen's arm.

Ying Wu tried the water temperature, and it was just right, so he called Jiang Shining to take a bath. When Jiang Shining undressed, Ying Wu was waiting outside the screen.

Jiang Shining sat in the bathtub, the water covered with red rose petals.

Ying Wu got Jiang Shining's summons before he went over to scrub Jiang Shining's body.

When the water temperature was cooler, Ying Wu added hot water to it.

"Miss, the slave maid heard that the third prince was grounded. ”

Jiang Shining didn't react after hearing this, and said in a cold tone: "When has the third prince been lifted?"

However, the East Palace has been established, and the prince has been given the title to move out of the palace when he is an adult, and the three princes have already passed adulthood, but they have not been titled, and now they still live in the palace in the east and west.

"There is no power like the third prince, and the young lady will be wronged if she wants to marry her. ”

"There is nothing wronged that is not wronged. Jiang Shining said, and the latter words were not spoken. It is not uncommon for the three princes to be unfavored, because they are confined to the most remote courtyards in the West Five for many years, few people have seen the three princes, so there are some rumors. One is that the three princes have hidden diseases; the other is about the biological mother of the three princes, the biological mother of the three princes was originally a noble concubine, who was deeply favored by the emperor because of her beauty, and was scolded by the world as a disaster for the country and the people, but disappeared after giving birth to the three princes. I heard that the emperor saw the three princes and thought about people as soon as he saw them, so he simply sent the three princes to a place where he couldn't see them.

In Jiang Shining's view, the emperor's desire to protect the three princes is far more important than other reasons, even if it is not, according to the three princes' non-fighting nature, the peace of life obtained is Jiang Shining's best protection.

After bathing, Jiang Shining dressed herself, and when the clothes were over her shoulders, Jiang Shining looked at herself in the bronze mirror, she reached out and stroked her left shoulder, and there were two dark red birthmarks on the skin touched by her fingertips.

There was wind outside, the peach blossoms in the yard had fallen, the moon was shining in the sky, and the crows squatting on the roof were messy by the night wind, but they still couldn't bear the sleepiness, their little brains were lowered, and their long beaks were buried in black feathers.

At this moment, a wild cat jumped on the roof, looked around, stared at the crow not far away, and then tiptoed past.

Just when the wild cat got closer and closer, ready to pounce on him, the crow was excited at this time, raised his head and saw that a cat had flown towards him, the crow instantly exploded, turned into a human form in the air, and suddenly staged a big change of life, so frightened that the wild cat that only had to succeed in mid-air timely retracted its four paws, the cat's body rebounded a foot away, let out a frightened cat meow, and then did not know where to escape.

And the crow, who was frightened by the cat and turned into a human form, was obviously frightened, although it was hanging its body, but in a lying position, its whole body was shrunk. Dressed in a black brocade dress, his long hair was pulled up, and a white hairpin was pinned, he was clearly a handsome young man, but he soon fell down, smashed a big hole in the roof, and fell down, just falling into the bath bucket that Jiang Shining had just washed, and the water splashed everywhere.

Jiang Shining and Ying Wu heard the voice, raised their heads and glanced at each other, and then ran to check one after the other, but they were both dumbfounded. There was a big hole in the roof of the house, and the night breeze was whirling in, and the bath tub was surrounded by tiles and water stains, and I don't know what had fallen on it.

"Miss, look at it!" Ying Wu pointed to the bath tub.

Jiang Shining looked in the direction pointed by Ying Wu, and saw a soaked crow floating calmly on the water, with a pair of wings spread, paddling like an oar, paddling the petals to the side.

Jiang Shining recognized this crow, as Song Jun said, the pinch of white hair on the top of the crow's head was very conspicuous, and it was indeed distinguishable at a glance.

Ying Wu checked it, except for the bird, there were no other suspicious objects at the scene, and he couldn't help but exclaim in his heart, what kind of strange bird is this?

"Ying Wu, go find a cage. Jiang Shining instructed Ying Wu, but his eyes stared intently at the crow.

And the crow was stared at by Jiang Shining, and seemed to understand Jiang Shining's words, and wanted to fan his wings to run away, but his feathers were soaked and he couldn't fly, but he fluttered a few times in vain in the water.

Ying Wu quickly brought up a bird cage and appeared, Jiang Shining made a look, and Ying Wu understood. Ying Wu rolled up his sleeves and walked towards the trembling crow in a dry posture, even if the crow wanted to hide, it was not lifted by Ying Wu's neck!

The dignified crow spirit was lifted by a little human girl's crow neck, and it was lifted effortlessly! Ah, the demon name he created single-handedly is to be destroyed in his emptiness...... No, it's on a bare lower belly!

Ying Wu seemed to have found something, raised the crow in front of him a few points, and said very curiously: "It seems that this is an old crow, miss, you see, the hair under its belly has fallen out." ”

Jiang Shining glanced at it, helplessly helped her forehead, and the girl who was still shy about crows when she was a child arrived at twilight, but she lifted the crow's neck to study it carefully, and the little girl's playfulness was suddenly exposed.

The poor crow, dripping with water, did not struggle anymore, but did what it did with its wings spread out, and protected its hairlessness.

Jiang Shining reminded: "Ying Wu, you light, don't kill it." ”

Ying Wu answered, turned around and put the crow in the cage.

The crow plopped in the cage, and immediately stood up in an orderly manner, and when he realized that something was wrong, he immediately changed to squatting again, and hid his paws with his little belly.

Ying Wu approached the bird's cage and enlarged his whole face in the crow's sight, which probably didn't see it, and hid its head in the feathers.
