Three days later, when the children of the Yin family were about to visit the mansion, after Jiang Li got up, Tong'er was busy dressing her up.
Now that Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Lu have both asked, Jiang Li has to dress up today. Fortunately, the colors of the new clothes that Lu Shi sent were not particularly bright. I probably know that ginger pears do not like to wear particularly bright colors. They are all light and light, which is very suitable for ginger pears. So Jiang Li took a look and didn't think there was anything. Tonger picked up hairpin earrings that matched the color of the clothes and put them on Jiang Li, looked at the girl in the mirror, and exclaimed: "The girl is really no longer the same as before."
Jiang Li looked at the girl in the mirror. It was strange that when she just woke up from Miss Jiang Er's body, she had also seen the child's appearance. The face is thin and thin, but he is still a child. Now it has only been a year and a half, and the childishness that belongs to the child has completely faded, showing the young girl's youthfulness and moving.
In fact, she should be grateful to God. She returned to a young lady from Xue Fangfei. She had a chance again in her life, and it seemed that the future also had infinite possibilities. Just like Lu's and Mrs. Jiang's idea, what a girl like her has to do in the future is to be so unhurriedly beautiful, to find a beloved person, to live in harmony, and to live a life of wealth and wealth.
But after all, she is not the real Miss Jiang, nor does she want to be imprisoned forever in the same days day after day.
Jiang Li stood up and walked out to the courtyard. The flowers in the yard are all blooming. Since Tonger returned to Fangfeiyuan, he has been working hard to sprinkle flower seeds around the yard. In autumn and winter, I still don’t feel that when spring comes, the flowers are vying to bloom. Where is Jiang Ligang? In Jiang's Mansion, there were depressions everywhere.
"Girl, how about it? The slave and maid had already said that, our days will pass the better." Tonger smiled.
Jiang Li also smiled: "Naturally."
She also hopes to get better and better.
While speaking, Mingyue came over and said: "Girl, the sister emerald beside the old lady just came, saying that the emperor's son, the county lord of Pingyang, has already arrived at the door, so you can go there quickly."
"So early?" Tonger murmured.
Such a high-status person will always be late to appear as honorable when he visits other people's homes. Of course, for the King Xia, the Jiang family is not someone who can be slow. If his sons and daughters really want to put on airs in Jiang's house, Jiang Yuanbai might not be able to accept it.
After all, Jiang Li is not afraid of meeting, she said: "Let's go."
When I arrived at the entrance of Wanfengtang, before I had time to walk in, I saw that at the end of the garden, a small servant walked in with someone from the outside. Look at this, it should be a guest. Therefore, Jiang Li didn't go inside any more, but stopped in front of the door and looked at the people coming.
The person here is naturally a pair of men and women, the sons of Yin Zhan, the outstanding pair of brothers and sisters Jiang Li met on the street that day. Shizi, the county prince, was dressed in white and was very elegant. He was so handsome and gentle as a jade that the little maid of the Jiang family couldn't help but peek at him with a blushing face. He also has a good temperament, smiling all the time, as if he can tolerate everything.
The woman walking beside him was Yin Zhiqing, the head of Pingyang County. Today, Yin Zhiqing wore a bright red pierced gold crane pattern skirt and a smoky sleeve shirt. Her appearance is bright and bright, and the bright colors just match her aura, making people feel that she is beautiful and aggressive. Her eyes are big and charming, and she also likes to smile, but compared with the smile of Shizi, her smile is a bit radiant and enthusiastic.
Looking at the woman's red dress, Jiang Li thought of Ji Heng inexplicably. For some reason, Jiang Li felt that the county owner of Pingyang wore such a red dress today, perhaps because she originally liked such eye-catching colors, perhaps... because of Ji Heng.
When the two walked in front of Jiang Li, Yin Zhiqing's footsteps suddenly stopped. Looking at Jiang Li, they frowned at first, probably thinking that Jiang Li was familiar, and then "Huh", as if remembering who Jiang Li was. Startled.
Yin Zhili also stopped, showing an unexpected look.
Jiang Li smiled slightly and said, "I am Jiang Li, the second lady in the Jiang family's house. I was on the street a few days ago. The county lord saved my friend. We met."
Yin Zhiqing suddenly said, "So you are the second Miss Jiang Jiang Li!" She turned to look at Yin Zhili.
Yin Zhili was also stunned, and suddenly laughed, and said, "So we have seen it a long time ago. It's really destined. The second lady is in Yin Zhili. You already know my sister's name."
Jiang Li also smiled: "I have seen the son."
They were talking outside the door, and Lu's voice rang from inside, "Little Li, why don't you come in, are the elder son and the county lord here?"
"Let's go in and talk about it." Jiang Li said.
Yin Zhiqing and Yin Zhili nodded.
A few of them entered the night phoenix hall, and everyone in the room was there. Jiang Yuanbai and Jiang Yuanping were also there. Jiang Li noticed that there were no other people behind Yin Zhili and Yin Zhiqing, that is to say, their father, General Zhaode Yin Zhan did not come. This is puzzling. If Jiang Yuanbai wanted to make friends with the Yin family, why didn't Yin Zhan show up, but let his sons and daughters come to the door
At the other end, Mrs. Jiang and brother Yin Zhili had already begun to talk.
Jiang Li originally thought that the Yin family that Ji Heng was targeting was naturally not a good person. She also met many people with different appearances, Shen Yurong, Xiao Deyin, and even Zhou Yanbang. However, the speech and behavior of the brothers and sisters shouldn't be pretend, but the natural formation of the infection over the years. Yin Zhili's attitude was gentle and polite, but Yin Zhiqing seemed to be contaminated with the straightforwardness that some generals can only have. She spoke a little bluntly, but she was still a smart girl. At least in chatting with Mrs. Jiang, what shouldn't be said, what shouldn't be divulged, not a word was said. Coming and going are all homely fun.
Even the overlord Jiang Jingrui in the second room and Jiang Jingyou, who is obsessed with sage books, listened to them intently.
Jiang Li sighed secretly in her heart. Mrs. Jiang is getting older. Sometimes when she asks a question, she will inevitably be confused. She said a question twice, but Yin Zhili seemed to be unaware of it, and patiently explained it again. There was no impatient expression on his face.
As a result, Lu's face became more satisfied, Jiang Li thought, if it weren't because Erfang didn't have a daughter, only Jiang Jingrui and Jiang Jingyou had two sons, I'm afraid that Lu himself would want Yin Zhili to be her son-in-law.
Jiang Yuanping was okay, speaking with a smile, but Jiang Yuanbai didn't say much today. He kept looking at Yin Zhili, occasionally as if thinking about something. Jiang Li knew everything in her heart. I'm afraid that what Tonger said was correct. Today, she clearly came to show her the "beloved". Obviously, this beloved has not made any mistakes at least so far. Everyone in the family sees. They were all satisfied, except Jiang Li herself.
Yin Zhili and Yin Zhiqing are half brothers and sisters. In the past few days, Tong'er has worked hard to help Jiang Li find out clearly. Yin Zhili's mother died when Yin Zhili was born. A few years later, Yin Zhili's Xuxian gave birth again. Yin Zhiqing. However, although the two are not brothers and sisters of the same mother, their relationship is pretty good. Yin Zhan was probably not partial, and the subsequent continuation was not like Ji Shuran. This was the reason for family harmony.
Of course, if people think more badly, that Suixian is not Yin Zhili's opponent at all, and he was eaten to death by Yin Zhili, so it is not impossible to fail to find a chance to start.
After talking and laughing for a while, Mrs. Jiang suddenly said: "You are all young people, Er girl, Jing Rui, Jiang You, you accompany the son and the county owner to walk in the yard and talk. We are getting old. People chat with you for a long time, I'm afraid you will find it boring."
Although Yin Zhili and Yin Zhiqing did not mean this, as soon as Lu Shi tried to persuade them, several young people went out.
Jiang Li smiled and said nothing, and went out afterwards. Today in Wanfengtang, from beginning to end, she was very silent, almost not as much as Jiang Jingyou said. She knew what Mrs. Jiang meant, but she wanted her to get along with Yin Zhili for a while, but it was strange that the men and women who had not left the pavilion stayed together, so this added the feeling of Yin, brother Jiang Jingrui.
In the eyes of the Jiang family, not mentioning Yin Zhan's father, Yin Zhili alone is probably very satisfying. Even Jiang Li had to admit that Yin Zhili was indeed a likable person. When he was in Tongxiang that year, Jiang Li thought Shen Yurong was the most gentle and talented person, but really speaking, Shen Yurong was still far behind Yin Zhili.
Yin Zhiqing walked in front. I wonder if it was because she was so good-looking. Even someone like Jiang Jingrui who never wanted to "do things between men and women" could not help but look at her frequently and take the initiative to speak to Yin Zhiqing. Yin Zhiqing was very hearty. As he walked, Jiang Li suddenly found that he and Yin Zhili were left alone behind.
She was stunned at first, and then she realized that everyone present today probably knows what Mrs. Jiang's idea is, and they are giving them a chance to get along with each other. Brother Jiang Jingrui doesn't need to say, the Pingyang county head also seems to hope they can make it.
Without the noisiness, Jiang Li's heart calmed down, and he simply slowed down his steps and walked slowly in the garden.
Walking beside Yin Zhili, she was not uncomfortable at all, and it could even be said that she could almost treat this person as if she did not exist. People are like this. If there is someone in his heart, he won't see other people in his eyes. Yin Zhili is very good, but in Jiang Li's eyes, what does that have to do with her
She was so indifferent, falling into Yin Zhili's eyes, she became calm and calm.
The young girl was wearing a dark green soft satin dress and a bicolor brocade shirt. The hairpin was red bean hairpin, and there were two small sapphires hanging around her ears. The shades of green made her especially brave in the crowd.
Her profile is small and delicate, which is different from that of the official lady. She is not like a splendid delicate flower growing in a flowerbed, but like a special plant growing beside a stream in a valley. She has a slim posture that does not exist to please anyone, and is touching and comfortable.
"After coming to Yanjing City, I have heard many rumors about Miss Jiang Er." Yin Zhili said suddenly.
His voice was also gentle, Jiang Li asked: "What rumor?"
"There are many rumors about the second lady, but what impressed me the most is that the second lady brought Tongxiang county citizens to Beijing to fight the stone lions and sing the wronged shares, and the story of the redress for Xue Huaiyuan, the county town of Tongxiang." He laughed and said: "I heard about this. Then, I felt very surprised. There is still such a woman in the world. I really want to see him, so I handed it a post with Jiang Shoufu." At this point, he said confidently: "I know this is a bit abrupt, but it doesn't mean anything else. I just feel that such a woman is very worthy of friendship."
He laughed again, "I thought such a woman was about warm and straightforward, just like my sister's affection. I thought it was also a sassy girl. I never thought that I saw it today, but it was on the street that day. I saw you on the street. To be honest, the second lady is different from what I expected, but in this way, I also understand why the people of Yanjing City say that the second lady is like that."
Hearing this, Jiang Li became curious: "How did the people of Yanjing City say about me?"
"Speaking of the second young lady from the Shoufu's family is pure and lovely, pure and kind as a snow-white lotus. At first I didn't believe it," he said, "I always feel that the girl in their rumor is too weak. How can I do so much? Bloody thing. Now it seems... people can’t look good, but I’m short-sighted.”
The posture of his speech is very comfortable, not rushing, and there is no intention of attacking, admiration is admiration, curiosity is curiosity, and there is no trace of falsehood, and there is no deliberate flattery.
Jiang Li smiled and said, "It turns out that the people said this to me."
"It's very similar to the second lady."
"what?"
"Qingling is lovely, lotus," he said.
Such a praise from Master Ruyu, no matter which woman heard it, she would be shy and blush. But Jiang Li had heard it, and only felt amused in her heart.
Therefore, Yin Zhili still didn't understand her, he only saw the surface of himself. Take Ji Heng, for example, reminded her repeatedly that she was really cunning, not as docile as she seemed.
"I heard that the second lady also won the first place in Mingyitang's Six Arts School exam." Yin Zhili said: "It's difficult."
"If Shi Zi is also in the school exam, Shi Zi can also get the first place." Jiang Li replied.
According to the news that Tonger heard, this princess prince was also both civil and military, almost omnipotent, and there was nothing he was not good at. Jiang Li does not doubt.
"It's a pity that I was not there on that day, otherwise I would be able to see the grace of the second lady. It's really a pity." Yin Zhili smiled and said, "I really hope that I will have a chance in the future."
Jiang Li smiled slightly: "There are not a few people in the world who are better than me. Naturally, the world can see the best, but that's not me."
There seemed to be other meanings in the meaning of her words. Yin Zhili looked at Jiang Li, Jiang Li looked calm, he thought for a while and stopped talking. At this time, they walked to the stone table in the yard. There were chess boards and chess pieces on the stone table. Yin Zhili asked, "Second lady, can you play a game?"
"Okay." Jiang Li said.
They sat down at the stone table. The stone table was under the tree, and between the branches and leaves, small sunlight sprinkled on the expectation, turning into scattered gold.
Yin Zhili made a "please" gesture to Jiang Li, and Jiang Li chose Heizi. Yin Zhili chose Baizi.
Heizi goes first.
Jiang Li may have not played chess with anyone for a long time. Xue Zhao didn't like chess, but Xue Huaiyuan liked it very much. When she was young, Xue Huaiyuan took Xue Fangfei to accompany her to play chess, abruptly turning a stinky chess basket into a master. In the few years when she first married to the Shen family, Shen Yurong also liked to play chess with her, and she once had the gentle elegance of "gambling books are so much ink fragrant", but she was consumed by more and more cumbersome things later.
Later, she became Jiang Li, all devoted to revenge, and there was no one who could play against her. Ji Heng doesn't seem to like to play chess, at least Ji Heng has never played with her, so Yin Zhili can be regarded as the first person to play against her in her free time after she became Jiang Li.
Yin Zhili's chess style is very gentle, but he walks firmly step by step. In contrast, Jiang Li's chess pieces look a little unruly, like a little crappy. But the person who won the first place in the Six Arts, how can they not know anything about chess. Yin Zhili sighed and said, "The second lady's chess path is ingenious."
"It's just a little cleverness." Jiang Li's time of speaking, he fell into a sudden, and said casually: "The son also knows that the king's soldiers have recently arrived outside the city and are ready to rebel."
Yin Zhili had a meal, and it seemed that Jiang Li didn't expect Jiang Li to talk about it suddenly, but he still replied softly: "I know about this. My father came back to Beijing this time by order to arrest the rebels."
"Can General Zhaode subdue the rebels?" Jiang Li asked.
What she said was really naive, as if she didn't know how many soldiers and horses became a king, and how many soldiers under General Zhaode were. For her, there is only one "win or lose" in a war, and she doesn't understand the rest.
Yin Zhili smiled: "Second Miss, don't worry, the rebels won't enter the city if there is a father."
"That General Zhaode seems to be stronger than King Cheng?" Jiang Li asked.
Yin Zhili only dropped a white child, and when he heard the words, he raised his head and looked at Jiang Li.
The girl didn't seem to notice the different color of the person opposite, she just held the sunspot, and seemed to be thinking about where to go. He said casually: "General Zhaode thinks that he will not only protect the city, but also destroy the rebels. Otherwise, the king has been circling outside the city. If things go on like this for a long time, people outside the city cannot enter the city. People in the city Can’t get out of the city. It’s not convenient for everyone. In case Cheng Wang simply went to attack another city. Isn’t there a record in the history books, there was also a case of rebels attacking half of the country and becoming a king?"
"The second lady is right to think so." Yin Zhili lowered his head again, and followed Jiang Li's son and followed him. His move was very fast, unlike Jiang Li, who had to think about it, as if he had already calculated it. Every step of the way is mediocre. He said: "Sooner or later the rebels will be eliminated, but once the war starts, the people who suffer will be the people." When he said this, a trace of pain flashed in his eyes.
Jiang Li saw his pain in his eyes and was astonished. Rumor has it that the prince of the county is a kind-hearted and compassionate person, but now it does not seem like a lie. As a high-ranking person, even a higher-ranking person, you can't always put yourself in the place for the sake of the people, nor can you understand the suffering of the world. However, Yin Zhili was able to think about the people affected by the war, which is different from the others.
Jiang Li said: "War is also to protect more people. This has nothing to do with the son. The son does not have to blame himself too much."
Yin Zhili also laughed: "My father always said that I have the benevolence of a woman, which is not a good thing. The second lady laughed."
"It's not a shame to have benevolence and righteousness. The elder son doesn't have to say that." Jiang Li smiled and said, "The elder son is very good."
"You always call me the son of the elder, it's too exciting. We met on the street before and played chess together, and we are friends." Yin Zhili said Wen: "Don't call me the eldest son in the future."
Jiang Li was stunned for a moment, then hesitated for a while before saying, "Master Yin."
Although he was better than the prince, he didn't know where to go. But fortunately, Yin Zhili is not a man who can make an inch. On the contrary, he seems to be very satisfied with Jiang Li's name, so he won't mention the words just now.
The two played chess seriously.
There was no one around to bother them when they were playing chess, and there was not even a maid serving tea, but it happened to be exceptionally clean. It can be thought that in the beginning, it was Yin Zhili's white son who had the upper hand. It seemed that Jiang Li's black son was driven to an extinction every time, and Jiang Li's black son could always survive from an extinction. When he reached the middle, Jiang Li's black son slowly caught up and swallowed some of the white son. The two were evenly matched. As a result, Yin Zhili's original extremely fast movements also slowed down, and even stopped to think for a while.
Until the end.
The black and white chess pieces each occupy half of the sky, Jiang Li dropped the last piece, raised his head, and said with a smile: "Win."
She has always had a faint smile. Although she is docile and polite, she always feels covered with something. The smile at this moment is genuine and sincere. The girl smiled like a flower, her eyes were bright, and the sunlight fell on her through the branches, which was particularly moving.
Yin Zhili was also stunned.
Immediately, he looked at Expectation and suddenly shook his head and smiled, and said while laughing: "I thought I was a person with a firm goal, but now it seems that Miss Jiang Er is."
It looks like a sloppy and unbounded chess path, but in fact, there is one goal from beginning to end. She walked carefully and carefully, not as comprehensive as Yin Zhili, but it seemed like it took a long time to lay a net. When laying the net, she naturally couldn't get anything, but she was not in a hurry and waited patiently, and waited until the net was laid. The prey walked over and killed it all the way without leaving a piece of armor.
What a gentle knife.
"I can't tell whether the second lady's chess style is gentle or sharp." Yin Zhili smiled bitterly, "However, the second lady is very powerful, I am willing to go downhill."
Gentle or sharp? In Jiang Li's mind, there was a figure of a person, just as she always wanted to ask, is he sentimental or unkind
Jiang Li smiled and said, "Master Yin is also very good."
Chess quality depends on personality, and Yin Zhili's chess style can more or less see his shadow. Although gentle, but not cowardly, if anyone wants to seek advantage from him or deceive him, it shouldn't be possible.
She said this sincerely, and Yin Zhili also smiled. When the two were about to get up, Yin Zhiqing's voice came over, and she said: "I have been looking for you for a long time, but I was hiding here to play chess." She glanced at Jiang Li and said to Yin Zhili again: " Don’t you always have eyes higher than the top, I want to play chess with you, don’t you want to?"
"Your chess skills are too bad," Yin Zhili said with a headache, "and always regret chess, let's play with yourself."
Yin Zhiqing snorted, but didn't care about what he said.
Jiang Jingrui and Jiang Jingyou followed them, and when they saw them, they said, "It's not too early. I'm afraid the banquet will start. Let's go outside first."
Jiang Li nodded.
She naturally walked with everyone, but as she walked, she felt that her sleeve was pulled a bit, but when she looked back, she felt very affectionate.
Jiang Li looked at her suspiciously.
Yin Zhiqing did not move. After Yin Zhili and Jiang Jingrui brothers walked forward, and after some distance from her, Yin Zhiqing looked at Jiang Li, seemingly hesitant, but after all he asked in a low voice: "Jiang Second lady, I want to ask you something."
Jiang Li faintly guessed the question she might want to ask, and a strange feeling floated in her heart, but her complexion remained as usual, and she said, "The county owner, please."
"That day, my brother and I met you on the streets of Yanjing City. Next to you, there was a young man in red. Dare to ask who that young man is?"
Jiang Li stared at her.
Yin Zhiqing seemed a little embarrassed, her cheeks were reddening slightly, so she looked like a peach and plum. Seeing Jiang Li not answering, she frowned slightly, and asked again: "Miss Jiang Er?"
"That's Lord Suguo today." Jiang Li replied.
"Duke Su?" Yin Zhiqing was stunned for a moment. She may be unfamiliar with the officials of Yanjing City. She seemed to have heard of such a person for the first time. But soon, she said, "I have nothing to do. What is the meaning of that Lord Su, what is the relationship with Miss Jiang Er?"
This is really an overstatement of the question. Jiang Li doesn't know if it is because the original folk customs are open in the cloud, the county owner is also so direct, or she said it deliberately. Jiang Li thought about it for a moment, and then said, "I just know each other, and have some contacts."
"Do you have a good relationship?"
Jiang Li shook his head: "Not too good."
As soon as he said this, Jiang Li swore that he saw Yin Zhiqing's eyes light up. Yin Zhiqing suddenly raised the corners of her mouth. When she laughed, she looked very beautiful, comparing the surrounding scenery, Jiang Li felt a little dazzling inexplicably.
"In the future, we will live in Yanjing City." Yin Zhiqing smiled and pointed to Jiang Liyi: "My brother doesn't often play chess with people, and doesn't often get along with women so well. It seems that he admires you very much. ."
One or two, both came to suggest something. Jiang Li couldn't help but laugh in his heart, but still smiled on his face: "The son is very good, and it is Jiang Li's honor to be appreciated by the son."
