When Jiang Rao climbed up the wall, the two round buns on both sides of his head shook unsteadily.
There was a little sweat on his cheeks.
Just as she was about to find the right spot to jump down, she felt a black figure in front of her, which made her shake and almost fell.
Fortunately, she was riding on the wall and holding on to it.
"Why are you here?"
She tilted her head and shouted at the figure.
When she swayed just now, Rong Ting's breathing was tight.
His arms were already leaning forward to catch her.
But as she hugged the wall, stabilized her body, and retreated back calmly.
The tension and anxiety in the bottom of the eyes also returned to the calm and calm.
"Come to find you." He said softly.
However, Jiang Rao caught sight of the movement of his shoulders retreating, and the flash of fear in his eyes.
She frowned.
What are you afraid of
She thought about it carefully, and finally when she saw his hands clenched into fists and placed on his knees, she suddenly realized.
The last time she fell from the wall of his house and hit him, she was hit by someone directly, and her legs were almost lost.
This will change her, and she is also afraid to see the culprit who almost killed her half life on the wall again.
Understandable and understandable.
Jiang Rao knew it in her heart, and shouted at him, "Stay away first, so that I can jump down."
After jumping down, it was very close to him.
The night breeze is cool, with the aroma of saponins.
Jiang Rao stabilized her body, touched the tip of her sweaty nose in the cold wind, "Why didn't you escape?"
She was worried that his legs were not good enough to move around, but she heard a faint sound—
"There's nothing to hide from."
Rong Ting retracted his sleeves, his eyes were deep, like cold stars.
His deep gaze stayed on her face for a moment, as if examining something carefully.
Jiang Rao touched her face in confusion, thinking that he might have come to her because of her broken appointment, and explained, "I didn't mean not to see you today, I was banned by my father for a day, originally I wanted to write The letter told you about it."
Jiang Ping, who climbed out of the wall at the other end, was riding on the top of the wall, waving the letter in his hand.
"Young master, it's the villain who forgot to send it to you, and it's the villain's fault."
After speaking, Jiang Ping jumped down.
This time, Rong Ting stepped back unceremoniously and withdrew a certain distance.
The action is crisp and neat.
…
Jiang Rao felt guilty and asked Rong Ting, "Did you wait for me for a long time today?"
"soon."
His words were very concise and his pupils were clear, but she could vaguely see a little bit of grievance in his eyes.
He may have waited a long time.
Jiang Rao's conscience was uneasy, and she promised earnestly, "I won't let you wait that long again."
Rong Ting raised his eyes to look at her, his gaze was heavy, "Don't lie to me."
"Will not."
Jiang Rao feels even more that Rong Ting is a person who can take advantage of his appearance.
Every demeanor and every movement is pitiful.
It made her want to reach out and rub it more and more.
…
Fourth Master Jiang didn't know that his daughter had escaped over the wall. When chatting with Jiang Qinshi at night, he said worriedly, "I've been grounded for Niannian today, will you call her...in a bad mood."
Jiang Qin couldn't help laughing, "Why does my concubine feel that the master's punishment of Nian Nian is punishing herself. I see that Nian Nian eats and sleeps well by herself, but the master has been thinking here and there, messing around. Worry."
"What's wrong with worrying? Niannian is the treasure we worked so hard to get."
Four years before Jiang Qinshi married him, although their husband and wife had a good relationship, Jiang Qinshi's stomach did not move. She sought medical advice and did not conceive until the fifth year. Finally, she finally hoped for a child. It was still him The daughter he wanted so much, if he didn't take good care of it, he felt wronged for himself who had been looking forward to it for four years and waited for four years!
Fourth Master Jiang thought for a while, he had to talk to his precious lump, put on a coat and got up from the couch, raised a lamp, and strode to Jiang Rao's courtyard.
When he was about to arrive, he looked at the dimly lit courtyard and frowned.
It was a little too quiet inside, as if no one was there.
He frowned, strode forward in confusion, and pushed open the courtyard door, only to see a few maidservants who were unfamiliar.
"Where's the girl?"
The maids looked at each other in blank dismay.
The girl told them before she left not to reveal where she went.
But the girl didn't teach them what they should answer if the master asked him!
Who would have thought that the master would come
Fourth Master Jiang sensed that something was wrong, anger gradually gathered in his eyes, his voice cooled down and he asked again, "Where's the girl?"
Finally, there was a servant girl who couldn't hold back the suppressed atmosphere, "Girl, she..."
Fourth Master Jiang sullenly.
"father!"
Panting, Jiang Rao appeared in front of Fourth Master Jiang.
After saying goodbye to Rong Ting just now, when she came back from the backyard, she saw the door of her yard open from a distance, and her father was standing in the yard.
This feeling is exactly the same as when I was caught by my dad when I was lazily sleeping in embroidery class when I was a child.
Even better.
Jiang Rao rushed back immediately, extremely anxious, lowered her eyes and lowered her head, "Daddy, why are you here so late?"
"And don't tell my daughter." She muttered, "My daughter can also go to meet Daddy."
Her heart was beating wildly.
Just now, Rong Ting told her that he didn't wait long today, but he had a worried look on his face, which made her feel guilty, so she invited Rong Ting to stay at her house on the grounds of Lu Yuan.
But because of his leg injury, he didn't agree, and she felt a little guilty. Now it seems that it's a good thing he didn't agree.
Otherwise, if her father bumps into her, his legs may be injured again.
"Hypocritical." Although Fourth Master Jiang said so, his expression improved a lot when he saw her, but he was still slightly suspicious, "Where did you go crazy? The soles of your shoes are covered with mud."
Jiang Rao lowered her eyes and glanced at the soles of her shoes, and sure enough they got mud on them. She smiled unnaturally, "Daddy, I just went to the lotus pond in the backyard to enjoy the flowers."
"The flowers in the backyard haven't bloomed yet, what flowers do you admire?"
Jiang Rao immediately changed her words, "Appreciate the bamboo."
Fourth Master Jiang glanced at her, and then at Ming Shao and Jiang Ping behind her. He always felt that there was something weird about it, but he couldn't put it into words.
I wanted to turn around and leave, but suddenly remembered the purpose of this trip.
He turned around, "Daddy grounds you for a day today..."
Jiang Rao listened attentively.
Fourth Master Jiang thought about his purpose of not wanting to make his daughter angry, and after thinking about it, he didn't know how to say it. He was silent for a while, and decided to use the words he had thought up along the way when he came.
"Actually, grounding you was originally your mother's idea. She said she would ground you for a few more days, but with Daddy and I interceding for you, it became a day."
Jiang Rao: "Huh?"
Fourth Master Jiang calmly said, "Yes."
He was very satisfied with his clever rhetoric.
The sword goes slanted, and the misfortune is diverted to the east.
Except for the risk of being locked up in the study, there is nothing bad about it.
Jiang Rao couldn't help laughing.
If there is no report from her brother, she might still believe it.
But now, who is daddy lying to...
She endured it, knowing that he was afraid that she would get angry, and said obediently: "Father, my daughter knows her mistake, and I won't be angry with you."
Fourth Master Jiang heaved a sigh of relief, and heard his daughter hold back a smile and say: "But if Daddy talks like this, if mother hears it, she will be angry."
Seeing that she hadn't been fooled, Fourth Master Jiang coughed, "Don't tell your mother."
He became serious, "We know every year that Daddy grounded you not only because of your late return."
He had the expression of an old father who was worried again, "Nian Nian got closer and closer to that boy in the west of the city, and he didn't even go home. Daddy thought of the scene of Nian Nian getting married in the future. I felt uncomfortable. Grounding you is also a reminder, girls, be careful and reserved."
Jiang Rao almost choked to death from the air.
Dad can also imagine the distance between going shopping and her getting married.
"Actually, when you were just born, you almost made a baby kiss with a Ninth Prince."
Fourth Master Jiang's tone gradually became serious.
Jiang Rao was taken aback.
It was the first time she had heard of it.
"But I refused, and the marriage has not been settled."
She breathed a sigh of relief.
He was originally a free agent, but he suddenly heard that he had already arranged a marriage with someone, which caught him off guard.
"Women's marriage is originally the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. But I don't like this set of rules. I always think that every year's husband must be sincerely liked every year, so that every year will be happy in the future."
Jiang Rao was a little touched, and heard Fourth Master Jiang sigh again, "But today, I feel that if I really meet someone I like every year, I still have to check to see if he is a good person. This is the order of the parents, the matchmaker's order." There seems to be some truth in that.”
Jiang Rao: "..."
Seeing that her father was worried, she raised her hand and smoothed the "Chuan" between his eyebrows, "Daddy, you think too soon."

She is still so young, how can she think carefully about what her future husband will look like.
She was suddenly curious, "Dad just refused the marriage with the Ninth Prince just because I might not like it?"
"It's not just that." Fourth Master Jiang said, "The Ninth Prince was born of a court lady, and his family background is too low. Recently, there is no news about him at all. Whether he is dead or alive... is uncertain."
Jiang Rao sighed sadly when he heard it, "He is so pitiful."
…
the next day. station.
Jiang Rao, wearing a conical hat and inconspicuous clothes, has been waiting here.
His eyes swept over the people entering the city one by one.
But no one is similar to the person in her dream.
Wait until noon.
The day was dazzling, and the post staff changed shifts. Jiang Ping asked Jiang Rao, "Girl, do you want to go back and rest for a while?"
Jiang Rao covered her yawn with her hands, and said wearily, "I can't go."
Only she knew what the man in Tsing Yi and his horse looked like in the dream.
At the city gate, there was a sound of horseshoes.
Jiang Rao swept away his tired look, and his eyes lit up.
Tsing Yi, brown horse... is the person in her dream.
She got up and walked to the man in Tsing Yi, "Where do the officials come from?"
The man in Tsing Yi gave her a vigilant look, but did not answer.
But the post officials in the station were all arranged by Jiang Ping yesterday, and immediately followed her words and asked, "Where did they come from?"
The man in Tsing Yi could only say: "Ci County."
lie.
Jiang Rao squinted her eyes, she was obviously from Jinling.
But he smiled, "Another foreigner."
She turned her head, pretending to be careless, and said to a postman next to her, "This foreigner is not familiar with our Ye city's climate, so accidents are easy to happen. The fire in the west of the city was very big a few days ago."
The post officials who had been bribed by Jiang Rao also echoed, "Light an open fire at night, the sky here is dry, and it is easy to catch fire."
But when the man in Tsing Yi heard the west of the city, his ears became sharp, "Is there a fire in the west of the city?"
"Yes, the fire is burning very well. Whoever came, the house is completely destroyed."
The post official said, "The house of the young master of Jinling who was recuperating here was destroyed, and everyone was almost gone."
Some post officials spoke, and it seemed that their words were particularly credible.
The face of the man in Tsing Yi changed immediately.
"Then where is he now?" He asked anxiously.
Post official: "It's pitiful to live in a dilapidated house in the east of the city."
Jiang Rao: "Which room?"
The man in Tsing Yi also pricked up his ears to listen.
Post official: "The one by the stream."
Jiang Rao: "Oh, I see."
The man in Tsing Yi was anxious, "I don't know!"
"The official is going to find him?" Jiang Rao did a great job of acting, pretending to be surprised, "Then I will show you the way."
The man in Tsing Yi was naturally extremely happy, waiting for Jiang Rao to go first, but seeing him not moving for a long time, he spread his arms towards him instead.
The man in Tsing Yi realized it, and gave Jiang Rao some silver taels from his pocket.
Holding the broken silver in the palm of his hand, Jiang Rao smiled mischievously, and the pear dimple appeared, looking more and more like a little money fanatic who has an eye for money.
She was the first to stand up and move forward.
Seeing that she was greedy for money, the man in Tsing Yi lost all suspicion and followed her.
In the east of the city, those servants with strong martial arts arranged by Jiang Rao are full of food and drink, waiting for them to arrive.
…
Not far away, there is a pair of eyes, watching the man in Tsing Yi and Jiang Rao having a happy conversation, the eyes are getting colder and colder.
Rong Ting's figure was hidden under a tree.
He remained silent and looked towards the station.
He recognized the man in Tsing Yi, with a snake encircled by a silver thread on the corner of his clothes. dead man—
It's the people around the queen.
Watching the dead man hand over the money to Jiang Rao.
Rong Ting lowered his eyes, his gaze condensed.
