Sitting by the firewood, Jiang Li said, "I'll do it."
The venison is to be cut and roasted. Kong Liu asked, "Second girl Jiang, do you need to help cut it down? What do you say, I'll cut it."
"No need." Before he finished speaking, he saw Jiang Li picking up the silver dagger set aside and cutting off a large piece of venison. Her movements are adept, and it's not like she has done this kind of thing for the first time. Seeing the surprised gaze from the people around him, Jiang Li was stunned, and said with a smile: "In the past when we were in Qingcheng Mountain, Tonger and I used to be like this, not the first time. Master Kong's kindness, Jiang Li, has taken her heart."
While passing the cut venison through a bamboo stick, she cooked it in the same way, and then cut off a piece, explaining to everyone: “In fact, the most important thing about roasting venison is to do it yourself. It doesn’t matter what shape it is, how it’s worn with a bamboo stick, or what it’s baked into. As long as you bake it yourself, you won’t feel bad at the end. After all, it’s not difficult."
Old General Ji was a little eager to try. Hearing Jiang Li's words, he immediately rolled up his sleeves and took a dagger, "Huo" cut off a large piece of venison. After all, I have been a general, and I can do it at one point, and it looks decent the first time I do it.
Wen Renyao and Kong Liu joined in the fun, and they both went to find their daggers to barbecue on their own. Ji Heng leaned aside, looked at Jiang Li, and suddenly said, "You just said that deliberately because you wanted to lighten the burden?"
Jiang Li was surprised: "Am I obvious?"
"It's not obvious," Ji Heng also smiled, "As long as you are not a fool, you can see it."
But even if it is a fool, probably everyone is happy to be this fool. The thing about roasting venison is actually the joy of hands-on. In addition, everyone barbecues, and the rest will involuntarily want to follow along. After a while, all of them sat on the shelf and turned over with a bamboo stick in their hands.
Ji Heng is the same, even if he sits on the floor, he doesn't look vulgar. For this group of people, Lu Ji has a celebrity style, and Kong Liu is like a grassy man in the rivers and lakes. General Ji is always strong and strong, and Situ Jiuyue is beautiful and mysterious. But Ji Heng was dressed in red and covered all the bamboo mats under him. He sat lazily, acting casually, but with a romantic mood.
It's like a group of people from all over the world, gathered together for their own reasons, sympathy and joyous drinking and talking, which is very fun.
Haitang can't eat these. The scars on her face are still not healed. You must pay more attention to eating. But she kept watching Jiang Li's movements blankly.
Jiang Li slowly flipped the bamboo stick. She was not as quick as Old General Ji, nor was she as cautious as Lu Ji. She was casual and safe, but she was doing the thing in front of her earnestly. A daughter of the first assistant didn't think there was anything wrong with this, but with a gentle smile, the eyes of the fire were especially bright.
The look, movement, and smile made her look gradually overlapped with the other person in Haitang's mind. She suddenly asked, "Where did Miss Jiang Er learn roast venison?"
Jiang Li glanced at her and smiled: "When I was young, I was sent to the nunnery for a period of time. The nunnery was not allowed to eat meat. When I was naughty, I bought venison from the hunter with the maid and secretly roasted it. , Think it was taught by the hunters."
"Is it the same for calling flowers and birds?" Haitang asked.
Jiang Li said, "Exactly."
"Why?" Lu Ji asked nonchalantly, "Girl Haitang thinks what's wrong?"
"No." Haitang shook his head blankly, and then his eyes became lost again, "My lady loved roast venison a long time ago."
"Mrs. Shen Xue Fangfei?" Lu Ji asked.
This name seemed to make Haitang uncomfortable, she frowned, nodded, but emphasized it again: "My lady."
"Isn't Mrs. Shen a talented woman in Yanjing City?" Wen Renyao asked, "Regardless of her character? Back then, when she and Mingyitang’s husband had a good relationship, I was lucky to see it once, but Very gentle and graceful. Maybe she can’t do the roasting of venison? Shen Zhuangyuan’s mansion is the most disciplined, how can I say?” He thought for a while, “Although he shouldn’t say right and wrong behind his back, Shen The mother of the champion, the rules are almost pedantic."
Jiang Li was stunned. This was the first time she heard such comments on Mother Shen from outsiders. When she was the daughter-in-law of the Shen family, although she was dissatisfied with Shen's mother, she thought that the mother-in-law in the world was like this. In other words, Yanjing and Tongxiang have different rules. Wen Renyao's words surprised her, but she agreed with it in her heart.
"My lady was always forced," Haitang couldn't help but said, "When I was never married back then, my lady often went to the forest to roast venison with her young master. It would be better to come to Yanjing City to be silent..." She died suddenly. Mouth, I probably know what Xue Fangfei's reputation is in Yanjing City now, so I can't say it anymore, so I won't say it.
Fortunately, the people in this yard may not be too interested in Xue Fangfei's affairs, and they soon turned their heads off. What Jiang Li was grateful for was that although they were not interested in Xue Fangfei, they did not seem to show disgust. Even Situ Jiuyue, who has been a little bit mean in speaking, is just indifferent.
"But Miss Jiang Er really understands a lot." Wen Renyao praised sincerely, "Most of the ladies in Yanjing City are all the same. Although they are beautiful, but after a long time, they think they are boring. And there are too many rules and regulations, this is not good, that is not good, it is still the refreshing girl Jiang Er, which is admirable."
Jiang Li said in his heart, it was not that she was refreshed, but that she had no right to refuse at all. She also thought that this would not work, and that would not work either, but if she wanted to ask others, she had to "do it" for everything.
The venison began to be roasted, and everyone sprinkled some coarse salt on it. In an instant, the aroma instantly dissipated. Wen Renyao exclaimed: "It's so fragrant, so fragrant!"
Jiang Li glanced at him and said, "Young Master Wenren can eat it."
Wen Renyao couldn't wait to pick up the bamboo stick and took a bite. The venison was piping hot, and he gasped and couldn't speak. But I also felt that the taste was very beautiful. It was obvious that only salt was sprinkled, but my lips and teeth were scented. It was the first time I had eaten such a delicious after such a long life.
Huanyu swallowed this piece of meat, Wen Renyao licked his lips, General Ji hurriedly asked, "How is it?"
"Okay!" Wen Renyao said only one word, and immediately immersed himself in eating the remaining venison.
As a result, everyone felt the taste, knowing that the venison wouldn't be unpalatable no matter how bad they were, and they all started to eat what they had. Suddenly, the yard was overflowing, and the hidden guards hiding in it screamed in unison.
Zhao Ke and Wen Ji looked at each other, and both saw the depression in each other's eyes. Although they are secret guards, they have never lacked silver, and sometimes even lived to be richer than the official young masters. I have seen a lot of the good things in the world with my master. I'm not a greedy person. How can I feel so hungry tonight? How can the plain-looking venison be so alluring...
Regardless, after tonight, they also find a time to secretly barbecue!
The venison on Ji Heng's hand was also roasted. The piece he cut was neither big nor small, nor small. But apart from Jiang Li, it is true that Ji Heng will cook. Because other people do not know how to cook for the first time, they are either too tender or too old. The reason why Wen Renyao thinks it is delicious is because they baked it personally, and there is this reason in it. But the deliciousness of Ji Heng grilled is really delicious.
The barbecue showed a golden color, hot and fragrant, and his posture was also elegant, he brought the meat to his mouth unhurriedly, and took a light bite to let people watch him eat and enjoy it.
"Second girl Jiang, why don't you eat it?" Wen Renyao saw that she was staring at Ji Heng instead of eating the barbecue in her hand, and asked, "Why, do you want to eat the portion in Aheng's hand?"
Ji Heng faintly turned, Jiang Li said hurriedly: "No." He took the venison in his hand and took a bite.
She is the official lady, and the roast venison sitting on the floor is already very out of the ordinary. It is probably even more unreasonable to bite and eat with the barbecue. But ginger pear made it very natural. She is not like Situ Jiuyue, she has the unique taste of the world, and she feels understandable what she does. At first, everything she did made people think that she shouldn't do it, but after she did it, people would think that she should do it.
The girl sits on the mat, her green robes are exceptionally clear, she holds the barbecue, smiles softly, with a bit of chic pleasure, which is especially comfortable.
"How about eating meat and not drinking alcohol?" Kong Liu said, "We should have a drink!"
"Have a drink!" Wen Renyao cheered.
Jiang Li: "..."
It's not that she has a bad drinker, it's just that after the first thing, she doesn't drink anymore. Seeing her hesitating expression, Lu Ji said, "Is the second Miss Jiang not good at drinking? If you are not good at drinking, you can drink fruit stuffed. The porcelain pot contains sherbet, which is not intoxicating."
"You don't know how to drink?" General Ji's eyes suddenly showed disappointment, as if Jiang Li had done something regrettable.
"Be drunk." Jiang Li said.
"Then don't drink, watch us drink." Situ Jiuyue said, and after that, he lifted a wine jar from the ground.
It is ginger and pear that drink the sherbet in a small porcelain cup, and others are the ones who receive the wine from the jar in the big bowl. But after all, we have to toast together.
"Auspicious New Year, everything goes well!" Kong Liu said gruffly. He is a vulgar person, these words are already literary words that he came up with after searching his stomach. No more.
Jiang Li raised his glass and touched everyone's wine bowls with a crisp sound. Some liquor was spilled out, and he could smell the clear aroma of the wine.
There is no wine in the sherbet, only a sweet taste, put the ginger pear in the cup. What surprised her was that she originally thought that an elegant person like Ji Heng should also use a small wine cup, but she never expected that he would also pick up the wine bowl and drink it all in one go.
Unlike Kong Liu's rough man, Ji Heng picked up a wine bowl, like a beauty holding a sword. There was a kind of coolness, but it made him look more charming. Jiang Li's thoughtfulness, generally speaking, is a temperament that can be seen from a person's behavior. But what Ji Heng did was always very contradictory. The deeper he understood, the less he found out.
"I think everyone is quite happy, Aheng," Old General Ji said suddenly: "Do you want to sing one?"
Ji Heng's smile faded suddenly, and Jiang Li could clearly feel that the body of the young man sitting next to him seemed to stiffen.
Wen Renyao didn't realize he was there, and said happily: "Sing one, sing one!"
"Sing... What are you singing?" Jiang Li couldn't help asking. As soon as he spoke, Ji Heng glanced at her faintly. Jiang Li immediately felt that she had said something wrong, but she didn't understand what she said wrong. Had to cover up the wine cup and lowered her head to drink the sherbet in the wine cup.
"We, Aheng, can sing," Old General Ji proudly said: "In the city of Yanjing, the one who sings best today is less than half of Aheng!"
Jiang Li: "..." She suspected that she had heard it wrong, but General Ji's voice was so loud, it was difficult for people to hear it wrong. So she again suspected that the wine they had just drunk was really strong, and once a bowl made Old General Ji drunk, she began to talk nonsense. But Old General Ji's expression was composed, not at all like a drunk appearance. So Jiang Li had to wonder if she herself was drunk, could sherbet also be intoxicating? There is clearly no smell of wine in it.
Jiang Li stared at the wine cup in his hand in a daze.
"He stayed with my master for a while." Wen Renyao saw Jiang Li's puzzlement and enthusiastically explained to Jiang Li, "My master's favorite is listening to the opera. Ah Heng was still young at that time, Master. I taught him how to sing. But we have never heard A Heng sing a play on weekdays, only once," Wen Renyao said, seemingly aftertaste, "Once A Heng was young and drunk, so he sang at the banquet. Get up, Jiang Er girl, Ah Heng's looks, this voice, if you start to sing, think about it, who in the world will not fall for him?"
Jiang Li asked: "Have you all finished listening?"
"Of course." Wen Renyao answered naturally.
These people are still alive, Jiang Li thought to himself. It can be seen that in Ji Heng's heart, these people are really regarded as his own. Otherwise, Jiang Li could almost imagine that Ji Heng would kill others without hesitation.
Because his eyes are like killing someone.
Ji Heng noticed Jiang Li’s gaze and turned his head. Jiang Li was a little numb when he saw him. He saw that the young man suddenly curled his lips and smiled. When he smiled, it was like wild flowers blooming all over the mountains in spring, which only made people feel dizzy. In his dizziness, his voice was cold, and he slowly said, "Do you want to listen too?"
Jiang Li was agitated: "I don't want to."
What a joke, she is not Wen Renyao, she doesn't want to die, she wants to live.
Hearing this, he felt that the incident was not big enough, and said: "Second Jiang, you have missed a major event. A Heng's voice, you should listen carefully. Listen. After that, I’m definitely not at a loss. But it’s probably been almost 20 years since I last listened to him sing." He said, and sighed deeply, "It's really nostalgic."
Twenty years ago? Na Ji Heng was just a four or five-year-old boy. In Jiang Li's heart, an exquisite, fine-looking young man appeared in Jiang Li's heart. Ji Heng who wanted to come at that time should also be wearing a red dress. But it's much smaller than the one in front of me. Not only that, when he sang, he was both immature and touching, and it was indeed beautiful to think about it.
Beauty is always pleasant.
Ji Heng smiled slightly, unfolded the fan, and shook it unhurriedly: "Have you said enough?"
On that fan, the flourishing peony opened in an instant, but at this moment it looked gloomy and murderous. I don't know if it was because of the fan in winter that it felt extremely cold. Even Wen Renyao's smile froze.
Wen Renyao gave a shock, as if all of a sudden he woke up, and said: "Huh? What did I just say? Don't remember, I'm probably drunk and dizzy..."
Jiang Li: "..."
But Wen Renyao pretended to be drunk and didn't accept this stubbornly anymore, and no one dared to take the initiative to touch this brow. Only Old General Ji dared, but Old General Ji wasn't really interested in singing and listening to operas, so he soon talked to Lu Ji about other things.
Jiang Li smiled at the corner of his mouth, and the smile at this time was quite sincere. I think Ji Heng is not terrible, even a little cute, because he thinks that a moody and serious murderer has such a soft childhood.
Of course, when tonight passes and the day comes, Ji Heng, who has become Su Guo Gong, will still be as cruel and cruel as before. There is no doubt that this single.
"You seem to be very happy?" Ji Heng's voice came from around, Jiang Li looked back at him, as long as he didn't talk about singing, Ji Heng was smiling again. She smiled and said, "It feels very lively, but there is nothing unhappy about it."
Ji Heng smiled lightly, noncommittal, just playing with the folding fan in his hand. Jiang Li thought for a while, and asked, "Master Guo seems to like this fan?"
"The life-saving things are of course very precious." Ji Heng replied.
Jiang Li deeply believed that she had seen the power of this fan with her own eyes. Not to mention that this is a killer weapon, but the gorgeousness of this fan is also very valuable. If ordinary people get this fan, they might pass it on as a family heirloom to future generations.
Ji Heng asked: "What about you? Isn't there anything precious?"
He was talking about "things" rather than "people". Jiang Li was stunned, and said, "No. There is no shortage of ordinary things in the house. As for weapons, they are not as special as the grandfather of the country." After a pause, he said again: "That's not right. I should still have something precious."
She took out the jade pendant hanging around her neck from the collar.
There is a chubby civet cat carved on the jade pendant, which Xue Huaiyuan personally carved for her. After marrying at the Shen family, he became an officialdom for Shen Yurong. Later, after she became Jiang Li and returned to Yanjing City, she asked Tonger to find a reason to take the jade pendant back from the pawnshop.
"This is my precious thing." She said.
Ji Heng glanced at the jade pendant, and suddenly said, "I have seen it."
"Yes." Ji Heng also picked it up.
"It looks unusual." Ji Heng said.
"It's very common, but it always feels special. Sometimes the precious things don't lie in how valuable it is, right?" Jiang Li replied with a smile, and carefully tucked the jade pendant back to the collar. For her, the reason why this piece of jade is precious is not only because it embodies Xue Huaiyuan's love for her daughter, but also because it reminds her of her name all the time.
She is Ali and Ari. It is Jiang Li and Xue Fangfei.
I can't forget who I am.
Ji Heng shrugged, picked up the wine bowl and took a sip. He looked very gentle and expensive, but the wine bowl was empty. The amount of alcohol seems to be very good, Jiang Li thought so in his heart, too, in a position like Ji Heng, if the amount of alcohol is not good, he will be drunk after a glass of wine, I am afraid that he has died thousands of times.
She concealed what she was thinking, and then picked up the porcelain cup in front of her, taking a small sip, it was so sweet.
The fire in the yard was warm and warm. In a strange place, it seemed that she could be a stranger. The hustle and bustle would hide some unnatural things, so that she didn't have to behave like Miss Jiang Er. Even if she used Xue Fangfei's original temperament, no one would find out.
After this late New Year's Eve dinner, everyone was stumbling except Jiangli.
Old General Ji took the lead in going back to the house to sleep. In fact, he was snoring thunderously halfway through the drink. It was Lu Ji and Kong Liu who helped him back to the room. Haitang also returned to the house early. After all, she didn't know the people in the Guogong Mansion very well, and her temperament was not as cheerful as before. In addition, the scars of the poisonous spider had to rest and recover earlier, and did not stay for long.
Wen Renyao was drunk and clamored to bet money with others. Situ Jiuyue smelled a piece of medicine for him, and fell down with a "clang". Situ Jiuyue walked away happily, and the secret guards of the Guogong Mansion had to carry Wen Renyao back.
In the yard, only Ji Heng and Jiang Li were left in an instant.
Ji Heng and Jiang Li were left alone. It was just because Wen Ji said, "My lord has told me that I have something to tell the girl, and my subordinates are waiting outside." So they left the yard with Zhao Ke.
Ji Heng's subordinates are very loyal, and the subordinates of the Guogong Mansion are obviously also very obedient to the master's orders. They said to wait, and there was no one in Nuo Da's courtyard in a moment. Jiang Li suspected that he didn't even have a bird or a worm. Apart from the two of them, the only living creatures were probably the gorgeous poisonous flowers in the flowerbed.
The banquet was removed, leaving only the table with Ji Heng and Jiang Li. The bonfire did not burn out, it was a bit smaller than before, but the yard was also much quieter than before. Therefore, instead of dimming, there is a kind of warmth after quiet.
Jiang Li asked: "Duke Guo?"
Ji Heng put his chin on one hand and looked at her with his cheeks, but he did not agree. Jiang Li looked closer, but was surprised to find that Ji Heng's eyes were slightly closed and he did not look at her.
"Duke Guo?" Jiang Li cried out hesitantly, but Ji Heng still didn't move.
Isn't it drunk? She couldn't help but look at the emptied wine jars under Ji Heng's feet. No matter how good the amount of alcohol was, she would have to be drunk if she continued to drink like this. The men who had just drunk had long since stopped fighting. Only Ji Heng was sober and self-assured. She was still sighing that Ji Heng was really not drunk for a thousand cups, and she didn't expect to have a reaction at this moment.
However, in order to determine if this person was really drunk or a prank, Jiang Li looked closer.
The youth's skin is fair and delicate, and even women are jealous when they look at it, and they don't know how to raise it. At this time, he had already dyed a shallow crimson, but it became more and more moving. The human face was peach blossom, but it was indescribable. Those eyes, which are always amorous on weekdays, are slightly closed at this moment, and the playful look inside cannot be seen. The long and gentle eyelashes hang down, showing a kind of gentleness that has never been before. His nose is tall and straight, his lips are a little bit bright, and the mole at the corner of his eye is even more coquettish than a peach blossom. Sitting in front of such a man, as gentle as a young man, but also confusing to think of a man, Jiang Li couldn't help but look a little ecstatic even though he was a man for two generations.
It is rumored that Ji Heng’s biological father, Ji Minghan, is a well-known cold-faced general, and her biological father, Yu Hongye’s beauty, is even more known as a "witch", which shows that both of them are rare beauties in the world. The combination of beauty and beauty will probably give birth to such a flawless man.
Jiang Li couldn't help thinking, but it was a pity that he had never seen these two people before, and I don't know what kind of demeanor it was. Looking at Ji Heng like this, I'm afraid the rumors can't describe half of this couple's elegance.
She sat and waited quietly for a while, wanting to wait for Ji Heng to wake up, but after waiting for a long time, there was no sign of Ji Heng waking up. Jiang Li wanted to get up to find Wen Ji and Zhao Ke, but in such a big yard, if she wanted to go out, she would have to leave Ji Heng alone here.
For some reason, Jiang Li always felt something wrong. Although in the eyes of others, Ji Heng is an omnipotent, powerful character that no one can deal with. But the longer I know Ji Heng, the deeper he understands. Although he is contradictory, there are still some ordinary people in him. In this world, no one is an omnipotent god.
Ji Heng had many enemies, which Jiang Li had known for a long time. Who knows if there are other people in the dark at this moment, it should be easy to know that Ji Heng is drunk, and others want his life in his sleep. Jiang Li cherishes her life very much because she died once, and she believes Ji Heng is the same. No matter what Ji Heng's purpose is and what he wants to do, as long as he dies and the strangeness stops abruptly, there is no "after".
Jiang Li wanted to take out the whistle, but found that the whistle was left in the house. Helpless, I had to continue to guard Ji Heng, and I don't know when Ji Heng will wake up. She looked back at Ji Heng again. Ji Heng in her sleep was like a fragile beauty. She couldn't help but feel soft and untied her cloak and put it on Ji Heng.
Falling asleep outside makes it easy to catch colds. She convinced herself that Ji Heng helped her many times, and she didn't have to worry about this little thing.
Sitting quietly next to him, it seems that time has become quiet. It is clear that the person sitting next to him is a dangerous person, but because the other party is drunk and knows nothing about it, there is no temptation to tit-for-tat, and there is no greedy with each other, and it is rare to sit for a while.
The sound of the watchman ringing the clock faintly came from outside, and Jiang Li's heart moved, the New Year's Eve has passed, and the new year has arrived.
She couldn't help but glanced at Ji Heng. Ji Heng didn't notice, Jiang Li thought to herself, she didn't expect to be Miss Jiang Er's first New Year with this person. If it were placed in the past, she would never believe that such a thing would happen. But in just half a year, everything has changed like the vicissitudes of life. People who originally trusted drew their swords at themselves, and those who had nothing to do with or even avoided, but sat with them to keep their years old.
This may be the mystery of fate!
She whispered and said softly: "Happy new year, Lord Guo."
The young man still closed his eyes, but the corners of his mouth seemed to be slightly raised, or his eyes were dazzled by an illusion. Jiang Li looked up to the sky, Xiaoxue had stopped, the last bonfire in the yard had burned out, and there was no excitement in the embers.
In any case, the past is over.
Wen Ji walked in from the outside, saw Jiang Li sitting beside Ji Heng, slightly startled, and said, "Ms. Jiang Er?"
"Huh?" Jiang Li stood up, "You happened to be here, Grandpa Guo seems to be drunk."
"Drunk?" Wen Ji frowned, "Why don't the girl come out and call her subordinates?"
"I'm afraid I will leave. It is dangerous for Lord Guo to stay here alone." Jiang Li explained.
Wen Ji choked. About what Jiang Li said was really hard for him to understand. Seeing him like this, Jiang Li also guessed what he was thinking, and said, "After all, he is drunk. I know he is very powerful, but he is also a mortal body. The government has made many enemies, if anyone takes this opportunity to come forward. It’s not good to come and ask for life, but if I hurt him, it’s not good. Although I don’t know how to martial arts, I can still shout. If something is wrong, I will naturally call someone. It’s just that I thought he would wake up soon. I never thought it seemed to be deeply drunk." Jiang Li smiled and said, "In this case, I am afraid that things will not be discussed tonight, and there is nothing to do. I will go back first, and I will visit again when I have a chance, or let Zhao Ke spread the word."
She has to leave now, stay here for too long, don't even think about rest tonight.
Wen Ji reminded: "Your cloak..."
"Almost forgot." Jiang Li picked up his cloak from Ji Heng, and smiled to Wen Ji: "But although he is deeply drunk, don't sleep well here. The city of Yanjing is windy and snowy, and the wind is cold. It's not a trivial matter, you can take him back to the house later."
Wen Ji said: "Zhao Ke sends you."
"Okay." Jiang Li said, "you don't have to send me off, I know the way out, Zhao Ke should wait outside. You stay here, your master can't miss someone, it's too dangerous."
She fastened the belt of the cloak, carried a lantern on the table with her hand, and left the yard.
Wen Ji looked at the girl's disappearing back, the snowy road was slippery, but she walked very steadily, neither fast nor slow, very determined. She is clearly a weak girl, but for some reason, she always feels powerful.
Jiang Li's figure disappeared and was no longer visible. Wen Ji turned his head and was about to wake Ji Heng, but when he saw the young man in red, he opened his eyes.
His eyes are clear, there is no trace of drunkenness, he is still the posture of his hand resting on his cheek, but he does not have the fragility and helplessness of the talent, as if everything is a human illusion.
"Master." Wen Ji said, there was no surprise in his words, as if he knew Ji Heng was not drunk.
Maybe it was, after all, this adult in the Guogong Mansion never allowed himself to get drunk. No matter when and where, being drunk will give people a chance to take advantage of it. I don't know how old he was, maybe it was the beginning of knowing the truth of everything, that he would live in lucidity forever, all the time.
"Let's go." Ji Heng stood up, turned and walked into the house.
In his ear, he was still thinking of the girl's words.
"I know he is very powerful, but in the end he is also a mortal body. The government has made a lot of enemies. If someone takes this opportunity to claim his life, it is not good if he is injured. Although I do not know martial arts, But you can still shout, if something is really wrong, people will naturally be called."
She wanted to protect him
I don't know if it is precious kindness or stupid innocence. If something really happens, where will she be given a chance to make others, naturally even she will be killed together. But the most surprising thing is that she thinks she is a mortal fetus and the most common among all living beings.
People fear him, look up to him, fear him, and rely on him. For a long time, they don't even remember him. He is just a person.
To protect him, apart from the secret guards, probably no one has said to him for decades, including his relatives. What he needs is growth and strength, not weakness.
But... Jiang Li said all this very naturally.
Ji Heng put away the fan and stopped thinking about it.
There seemed to be the warmth of her cloak on her body.
…
That night, Zhao Ke finally sent Jiang Li back to Jiang's house. The same as when going out, it was still the "back door" that no one noticed.
On the second day, Jiang Li got up late because of tossing in the Guogong's mansion the previous night. Tonger also laughed: "The girl slept so long last night, it's rare to sleep so well. The sound of firecrackers is everywhere outside. The slave and maid woke up when a cock called three times today, and slept like pancakes on the bed. Nothing."
Bai Xue and Tong'er didn't know that Jiang Li was not at the mansion last night. Instead, they went to the Guogong Mansion and even roasted venison with General Ji and a group of people.
But if this was told to them, it would be really shocking. Maybe others thought she was talking in a dream. After all, she could sneak out in the middle of the night to go to the Guogong Mansion and drink and eat meat with a group of people who are not very familiar. It's really not something that a lady of a big family can do, let alone a lady of a big family, a girl of a decent family, I am afraid that she would not have the guts.
Jiang Li shook his head, but for some reason, it was a little funny. It is strange that her status is much higher now than when she was a "Mrs. Shen", and logically speaking, there should be more rules. In fact, she is more free than before. It can be seen that sometimes identity is not a reason to imprison her own nature, talent is.
She was quite lucky this time.
Bai Xue said, "Girl, let's go and greet the old lady."
During the New Year, it is indispensable to greet Mrs. Jiang every morning. Maybe Mrs. Jiang also hopes to take this opportunity to repair the relationship with Jiang Li. Every pair of Jiang Li is also regarded as loving, but this excessive loving kindness makes Jiang Li a little uncomfortable.
She said: "Okay."
When I arrived at Night Fengtang, I saw Mrs. Jiang sitting in the hall. Jiang Bingji was being pulled by the nurse and sitting on a stool eating peanut candy. Since Ji Shuran left, Mrs. Jiang's discipline on Jiang Bingji has been much stricter. Jiang Bingji is a child after all. Although Ji Shuran loved him, he spent more time with the old lady. Therefore, although she was a little bit crooked, she was not as hopeless as Jiang Youyao. During this period of time, he also became regular, at least not as lawless as Jiang Li was when he first arrived at Jiang's Mansion.
Seeing Jiang Li's arrival, Mrs. Jiang spoke with Jiang Li for a while as usual. Jiang Yuyan was also there, sitting awkwardly on the side, speaking very little in silence. She is of this temperament, Mrs. Jiang takes it for granted, and treats her lightly. Although not harsh, but not affectionate either.
Only Jiang Youyao is late for the future.
"Why didn't Sanya come here?" Mrs. Jiang asked.
The maid beside me looked outside and said, "Xu is late, and the maids didn't report."
Mrs. Jiang frowned and said, "The more unruly!" She probably thought that Jiang Youyao was still angry because of the Ye family's visit yesterday, and deliberately didn't come to please peace.
Jiang Li smiled slightly and drank tea without rushing. She didn't bother to care about Jiang Youyao. If Jiang Youyao doesn't put away her original temperament, he will not deal with her, and sooner or later someone will deal with her.
"Go and see." Mrs. Jiang said to Pearl: "Give her'please' over her."
There was already a slight anger in Mrs. Jiang's voice.
Jiang Yuyan was even more frightened, a little at a loss, as if she wanted to leave, but she didn't know what reason to find. When hesitated, Jiang Jingrui and Jiang Jingyou also came. They don't have to go to school at the end of the new year. They have a rare freedom. Jiang Jingrui saw Jiang Li happily and said, "Oh, it's all here."
Lu Shi glanced around and smiled: "I'm afraid it's not all, why didn't you see You Yao?"
She just said that, right now Yang is not here, Ji Shuran is not here, no one talks to her. Lu Shi came to chat with Jiang Li, it was all trivial things, and there was nothing to say. Lu's also knew that now that Mrs. Jiang deliberately wants to make up for Jiang Li, and having a good relationship with Jiang Li will naturally make the old lady feel at ease. Can make the old lady happy, where can life be sad
Talking like this, after a while, Pearl came back. Jiang Li noticed that there was no one else behind Pearl—she did not "invite" Jiang Youyao.
Not only that, but as she got closer, Jiang Li also found that Pearl was in a hurry and her expression was flustered. She was the maid next to the old lady. She rarely looked so panicked when she was so panicked. I'm afraid something went wrong.
Sure enough, as soon as Pearl entered the night phoenix hall, she said: "Old lady, something has happened, the third lady is gone!"
"What's missing?" Mrs. Jiang frowned.
"The third lady is not in the house, she has left!"
"What does it mean to leave?" Lu's disapproval
