When Jiang Li finished singing, she didn't know herself, but she felt that Ji Heng, who was holding her, didn't move. She wanted to look up, and Ji Heng's voice rang from the top of her head. He said:" Don't move, just stay like this."
For some reason, at this moment, Jiang Li seemed to be able to capture some of his strange emotions. It was a strange Ji Heng, fragile and helpless.
She was silent and motionless.
The sunlight in autumn is not as warm as summer, and it is gentle and golden, slowly shining on them. She should actually push away Ji Heng's. If someone sees her, it will inevitably be troublesome if there is too much tongue. However, she did nothing.
When she needed help, Ji Heng helped her. Even if this help might disrupt his plan, he didn't care. If she is still stingy with a hug now, it is a bit ungrateful, and his embrace is not as cold as imagined, Jiang Li feels very good.
After a long, long time, Ji Heng fell asleep except Jiang Li, maintaining a posture, and when she felt tired, Ji Heng let go of her hand.
He looked at Jiang Li, his lips twitched, and said, "Little girl, you are so cute."
He seemed to be sincerely complimenting, not like teasing or flirting, so Jiang Li didn't feel shy, but just asked a little worried: "What's wrong with you? Did something happen?"
"No." Ji Heng groaned, "I just thought, when would it be more appropriate to see your father-in-law."
Jiang Li said: "You have the final say." She can go to Ye Mansion all the time, but Ji Heng is not necessarily. He wants to stare at Yin Zhan's movements, and he may not spend a lot of time in Yanjing City.
"Just a few days." Ji Heng said: "I will let Zhao Ke give you a message."
Jiang Li nodded, thought for a while, and said: "Yin family...what's the action over there?"
Ji Heng snorted: "I'm trying to stay in Yanjing, it seems that I can't hold back."
"Be careful."
"Relax." Ji Heng returned.
The brief warmth soon ended. Before Jiang Yuanbai returned, Ji Heng left Jiang Mansion. Although Jiang Yuanbai can't care about him now, he will be an uncle given by the emperor himself in the future. If he really wants to enter Jiang's house, he can just do it sternly. But maybe I don't want to speculate with Jiang Yuanbai, you come and I go, Ji Heng is also very happy.
When Tong'er and Bai Xue entered the room, they couldn't help but smile. Jiang Li asked, "What are you laughing at?"
"It’s said that Lord Guo has a vicious heart, and he doesn’t do anything evil. They didn’t see how the Lord Guo treated the girl. The servants felt that the prince of the Yin family was not as good as the son of the Lord. Gentle. Besides, the Yin family’s son is gentle to everyone, but the grandfather of the country is only gentle to the girl. The servants are happy for the girl, and the girl is right.” Tong'er said the old long string.
Jiang Li smiled: "You know a lot."
In her heart, the original anxiety and confusion were completely gone. The past has completely become the past. The care and caution, revenge and pain about Xue Fangfei are gone. She now likes herself very much now and has a brand new future.
Just thinking about when Ji Heng would go to see Xue Huaiyuan, Jiang Li was a little nervous for no reason. Will my father like someone like Ji Heng? After all, this person Ji Heng is too arrogant. What will happen to my father Ji Heng? If they are not in harmony, how will she resolve it
It's really a problem.
…
On the fifth day of October, the weather in Yanjing City was already very cool. Even early in the morning and evening, there are already shadows of early winter. Yanjing is close to the north. Early in winter, Jiang Li has lived here for a few years and has become accustomed to it. That morning, she had eaten, put on her clothes, and was about to go out.
Jiang Li plans to go to Ye Mansion. She and Ji Heng have made an appointment. Today, they will go to Ye Mansion to see Xue Huaiyuan. Before leaving the house, it started to rain lightly outside, one autumn rain and one cold one. Bai Xue went to pick up a cloak for Jiang Li before Jiang Li got on the carriage.
After getting on the carriage, Jiang Li couldn't help but worry a little when he thought of the next thing.
When Jiang Yuanbai and Ji Heng meet, Jiang Li is not worried. On weekdays, at the court banquet, Ji Heng and Jiang Yuanbai have already met, and Jiang Yuanbai also understands the matter of face. But Xue Huaiyuan was different. Back then, it was because he couldn't get used to the darkness of the officialdom that he resigned from the position of Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry. Ji Heng was used to being alone again on weekdays. With Xue Huaiyuan, he didn't know what to say. Xue Huaiyuan was righteous, righteous, and fair, and Ji Heng was two people at all. Jiang Li thought about it, but felt horrible. Although it might be better to have Xue Zhao, Xue Zhao often does bad things with good intentions, adding fuel to the fire.
Thinking about it this way, Jiang Li became more worried and urged the coachman several times, wishing to arrive at Ye Mansion earlier, what if Ji Heng from the province had arrived at Ye Mansion first and met Xue Huaiyuan first.
Seeing her anxious, Tonger felt strange, and said with comfort, "Girl, the road is slippery on rainy days, but I dare not walk too fast. Today we go out early, very abundant, not too late, Master Ye will not blame the girl. of."
Jiang Li smiled reluctantly, and finally saw the gate of Ye Mansion. The carriage driver took the reins, and the carriage stopped at the gate of Ye Mansion. Bai Xue got out of the carriage first, holding the umbrella, Tonger helped Jiang Li get out of the carriage, and the three of them walked to Ye Mansion together.
The concierge was familiar with opening the door for them, and Jiang Li asked, "Is anyone else here?"
Xiao Si was taken aback: "Others? No wow, isn't it the only lady who came here today?"
It seemed that Ji Heng and the others hadn't arrived yet, Jiang Li just breathed a sigh of relief, and the sound of a carriage rang at the door. This carriage is much larger than the Jiang family, and looks extremely gorgeous and colorful. Jiang Li looked over, the carriage curtain was lifted, and a familiar figure jumped out, followed by his jumping voice, "Miss Jiang, it's been a long time!"
Jiang Li was stunned, it turned out to be smelling far away.
Today is not Ji Heng here, what is Wen Renyao doing? Immediately afterwards, Jiang Li saw Wen Renyao behind him, a small head poked out, but it was Lin Yao who Jiang Li rescued from Huangzhou. Since Lin Yao followed Wen Renyao back to Yanjing City, Jiang Li has rarely seen him. I don’t know what Wen Renyao was pulling and tinkering with. Now he wears Daotong clothes at a young age, which is quite immortal. I got a little thinner when I went up, maybe it's taller.
Then, Situ Jiuyue jumped off the carriage, and then General Ji, and finally the carriage curtain was picked up by a beautiful hand, and Ji Heng slowly walked down from it.
Jiang Li was dumbfounded.
She really didn't know that Ji Heng was originally here alone, but why so many people suddenly changed. No wonder Jiang Li was stunned to use such a big carriage, and said, "This is... what's going on?"
The group of people first approached the gate of Ye's house, and no one saw it outside. Wen Ren Yaocai said: "Ms. Jiang Er, I heard that you and A Heng are married. I am very happy. Today A Heng is going to see your uncle Ye Jia. I think he is not good for him alone. As his friend and family member, We should also be there, otherwise, people would think that the government office is unmanned and alone, although it is indeed the case."
"Roll," General Ji shouted angrily: "How can there be no one in the Guogong's Mansion! Girl Jiang, I heard that you have a good relationship with your uncle, and your uncle is a hero of the world. I appreciate it! I came here specially! Look at him!"
Jiang Li looked at Situ Jiuyue with a look of suspicion. Situ Jiuyue said coldly, "I didn't come to see anyone. The wound on Xue Zhao's body still needs medication. I'll come and deliver the medicine. By the way, let’s take a look at the wound. New poison."
Jiang Li felt that this was weird. Situ Jiuyue was clearly doing good for Xue Zhao and doing good deeds. Why should I rush to deny her kindness, and instead emphasize that it was for "drug production." Jiang Li shook her head in her heart, only saying that Situ Jiuyue was a cold-hearted girl, and she was a little awkward about this matter, so she didn't want people to notice her kindness.
Ji Heng smiled and said, "They are all here to visit, let's go, Ari."
What he said was full of mockery. Jiang Li could think of the scene that, apart from Situ Jiuyue, this group of people was begging for nothing, picking up Ji Heng's carriage, and insisting on following the scene.
The little servant at the gate of Ye Mansion was also shocked. He never expected that the same lady who came to Ye's house as a guest would bring such a large group of people. However, this group of people seemed to be non-ordinary roles, and they didn't dare to neglect immediately, and they were eager to lead people while calling people to report.
Jiang Li found it weird. She and Ji Heng walked side by side and whispered: "Have you not persuaded them?"
"Persuaded." Ji Heng narrowed his eyes. "But don't you think this is better?"
Jiang Li stayed in a daze, only to understand what Ji Heng meant. From the perspective of Ji Heng herself, although Jiang Li knows that she is very good, not everyone has in-depth association with Ji Heng, and it is excusable not to know what Ji Heng's temperament is. But Ji Heng brought so many people here, and from the side he denied the rumor that Su Guo Gong was moody and did not do anything evil.
If he were such a person, he would never have relatives or friends around him. But General Ji, Wen Renyao, Situ Jiuyue, and even Lin Yao all came, which shows that Ji Heng is not as ruthless as the rumors, he loves and protects his own people.
And Wen Renyao is so noisy, maybe it can make everyone happy, Jiang Li can only think so.
Only when he walked to the Yefu courtyard, Ye Mingyu had arrived after hearing the news. He first looked at Jiang Li and said, "Ali, why didn't you come alone?" His eyes fell on Ji Heng suddenly. There is no sound again.
Every time I saw Ji Heng, Ye Mingyu was a man, and he would not be overwhelmed by Ji Heng's beauty. He was a person in the world, and he would only feel that the murderous intent on this person could not be covered, and it was extremely dangerous. Ye Mingyu was determined to give Jiang Li to such a dangerous person, but the imperial decree had been laid down, and they seemed to have no other way to deal with the merchant. He saw Old General Ji again, and he was immediately photographed by the righteousness and perseverance of General Ji.
After all, he is a general who has been on the battlefield.
Ye Shijie followed, his pace was slow, he saw Jiang Li and Ji Heng walking side by side, Jiang Li's trust in Ji Heng.
This is her most precious thing.
When the two parties met, they were a little embarrassed with each other, I don't know where to start. At this time, a happy voice broke the silence, and he said: "Sister... Miss Jiang Er! Doctor Situ!"
Situ Jiuyue's eyes moved, and Xue Zhao walked over from behind pushing the wheelchair. These days in Ye Mansion, he looked much happier than when he was in Guo Gong Mansion, with some youth-specific flying on his face. The smile is as warm as ever.
"Azhao," Jiang Li said, "Let's take a look at Uncle, and also want to see Mr. Xue and you."
Ye Mingyu murmured in his heart, Jiang Li would certainly welcome him to come to see him, but when he came to see him with such a bunch of unknown people, he was emotional. However, in front of the niece, these thoughts could not be expressed, so he squeezed out a particularly false smile and said: "Then you say first, I will let people go and see the kitchen."
He didn't want to talk to men who deceive little girls by their beauty!
Ye Mingyu left, and Ye Shijie smiled apologetically. In fact, he could also see that the people Jiang Li led were mainly to see Xue Huaiyuan. Although I don't know why, the relationship between Jiang Li and Xue's family is quite peculiar. Ye Shijie is a smart man, so he said: "I'll go see Sanshu, you can go to Mr. Xue first."
Jiang Li smiled at him gratefully.
Xue Huaiyuan was reading in the yard.
Xue Zhao was lively and followed Ye Mingyu to learn the whip technique during the day, so he knew Jiang Li was the first to come. Xue Huaiyuan was going to be late, and when he knew about it and wanted to come over, Jiang Li had already brought someone to him.
In front of other people, Jiang Li could only call him "Mr. Xue".
"Miss Jiang." Xue Huaiyuan said in a gentle voice, standing up, looking at the group of people in front of him, his eyes first fell on Ji Heng who was beside Jiang Li.
The face of the young man is really handsome and gorgeous. There is charm between his brows, but there is a trace of murderousness. The most important thing is that his eyes have a pair of amber and affectionate eyes, but there is no trace of chaos in them, so clear. It's almost cruel.
Only when he occasionally casts his eyes on Jiang Li, will there be a moment of tenderness.
In an instant, Xue Huaiyuan's view of Ji Heng changed.
He has lived for most of his life, and he has also brushed shoulders with the King of Yama. He has seen the sinister heart and the difficult life of people. Shen Yurong treated people kindly and politely, but he took pains to the person next to her pillow, while Ji Heng was so notorious that he showed Jiang Li the gentle side alone.
Any father is always happy to see his jewel-like daughter being cared for in the palm of his hand.
"You are Mr. Xue," Ji Heng said: "Ali often talks about you."
Everyone present was stunned, including Jiang Li's, looking at Ji Heng like a ghost. When did Ji Heng talk to people in such a courteous manner? Not to mention his own grandfather, but Ji Heng's smile towards Emperor Hong Xiao, I'm afraid they are all three-point lazy and casual.
Did you meet a fake Ji Heng? Jiang Li had this idea abruptly in her heart.
General Ji also seemed to be shocked by his grandson's remarks. He was shocked. In order to redeem his previous gaffe, he looked at Xue Huaiyuan and said, "Xue Shangshu, do you still remember the old man?"
When Xue Huaiyuan was Xue Lingyun, he was still very young, and Ji Donghan had not yet married his wife. At that time, General Jin Wu's reputation was still there. Although one was a civil servant and the other was a military officer, they all heard each other's names. General Jin Wu made great achievements, and Xue Lingyun built the canal to benefit the people.
But many years have passed, the death of the death, the scattered, and the meeting again, it is such a relationship.
Xue Huaiyuan said: "General Ji."
Old General Ji laughed: "I heard about you later. It was not easy for you to have a good time these years. Fortunately, this kid A Zhao is still alive, don’t you know, A Zhao was saved by my grandson. !"
Xue Huaiyuan knew about this a long time ago, but when he heard General Ji talk about it face-to-face, he still felt a little grateful, so he solemnly said to Ji Heng: "Thank you, Lord Guo, for saving his life. Zhao, don't thank you. ."
Xue Zhao hastily thanked him for this kind of thing, which he had already done when he was in the government office. Now that Ji Heng is already a prospective brother-in-law, he is a family, what's the point of visiting
Wen Renyao saw that he had never had a chance to interrupt, and was quite unwilling. He seized the opportunity to speak and said, "We are here today because of A Heng's affairs. Miss Jiang Er and A Heng's relationship, although It was given by the emperor, but we, Ah Heng, are not willing to be given to anyone. It is also very happy to be able to negotiate with Miss Jiang Er. A Heng himself is also very happy. We all know the origins of Miss Jiang Er and the Xue family. It’s so superficial and I value Mr. Xue very much, so I’ll take a look at it, so it’s easy for everyone to get to know him."
He giggled, his words and deeds were incompetent, so Ji Heng would have let him get out if it were on weekdays. However, today Ji Heng didn't say anything, just let Wenren talk nonsense.
Xue Huaiyuan felt satisfied again.
Jiang Li is already in the whirlpools, pros and cons, and dangers, and there is no way to change this. Moreover, Jiang Li made her own decision, no one could change it for her, even her father and brothers must respect her. But now it seems that Ahri's choice is not as bad as it seems.
Xue Huaiyuan didn't know who Ji Heng was, but he knew about the dispute with General Ji. Even if Ji Minghan is gone, the grandson raised by General Ji will inherit some of the qualities of the Ji family.
Old General Ji was actually very puzzled in his heart. This kind of thing that the family meets their relatives and talks with each other with a smile should happen in Jiang's family. After all, Jiang Li is the young lady of Jiang's family. However, Ji Heng never mentioned that he was going to Jiang's family. Instead, this time, he took the initiative to tell him that he would go to Ye's family together.
Go to Ye's house to see Jiang Li's uncle? This old general Ji could barely understand. After all, I heard that Jiang Li and her third uncle were very good, but when they arrived at the Ye family, Ye Mingyu only had a face-to-face meeting and disappeared. Instead, he was dragged to talk to Xue Huaiyuan. General Ji wasn't a fool either. It was obvious that he had come to see Xue Huaiyuan specially.
Jiang Li was better to Xue Huaiyuan than to Jiang Yuanbo. Old General Ji had also heard this, and he was very gloating at the time. He deserves it, Jiang Yuanbai is so old and cunning, but Jiang Li is extraordinarily upright and brave. Of course, he will be more involved with a good official like Xue Huaiyuan, but at the moment... This seems a bit too much, right
Old General Ji thought a thousand times, but he didn't show it at all on the face. Because he knew, no one would answer him even if he said it. It's nothing, it's always for the grandson to see his relatives. Seeing Jiang Yuanbai or Xue Huaiyuan makes no difference to him. Knowing that Jiang Yuanbai is not him who will howl and cry, so what does he care about, or let him go Bar!
Thinking about it this way, General Ji simply put aside the doubts in his heart, and Xue Huaiyuan went to the tea table in the room and sat down, drinking tea, and talking about the past years.
This time, they left other people in the yard instead.
Jiang Li was a little stunned, this was really beyond her expectation. It is possible that General Ji hadn't seen his deceased for a long time, but he rose up for a while, but Xue Huaiyuan became the person who spoke with him.
Jiang Li looked at Ji Heng helplessly, and Ji Heng smiled and said, "It's okay."
Jiang Li had to remain silent. Wen Renyao looked at Xue Zhao who was sitting in the wheelchair and asked him, "Master Xue, what are you holding in your hand, is it a whip?"
"Yeah." Xue Zhao said with a smile: "Master Ye San taught me a whip technique and gave me a whip. I will use this whip to practice martial arts. , But also protect the people you want to protect."
I can't stand up anymore, but I'm not optimistic. I keep saying that I want to protect others. Such people are really rare in the world. Xue Zhao didn't think there was anything at all. In his eyes, he couldn't even find a trace of darkness. He said: "I am not proficient in using this whip. When I become proficient in using it, I will change another one."
Situ Jiuyue looked at Xue Zhao, and suddenly remembered what Xue Zhao said about protection when he was in the Guogong Mansion.
She said: "This whip is not good."
Everyone looked at her suspiciously, and Xue Zhao also asked, "Why did Doctor Situ say that?"
"It's really hard to kill with a whip. In comparison, it's easier to kill with a sword. It's even harder to kill if you sit in a wheelchair and don't have as much strength as a standing person."
Wen Renyao sneered and said: "Situ, you are also a girl anyway, no matter how you say you are murdering. Our Young Master Xue likes to rob the rich and help the poor, punish the evil and promote the good, instead of killing people if they are not pleasing to the eye. the same."
Situ was taken aback in September, and she had heard the words "different from you" countless times in the past. She fled when she was young, and others said that she was different from other little girls and was too cold. When she killed people, others said that she was different from other doctors, like an executioner. But she didn't care about it once, and it's not the same when it's different, so what? But today's "different" sounds particularly harsh.
Her face gradually sank.
Jiang Li looked in his eyes and moved in his heart. He was about to turn the conversation over with a few words, but Xue Zhao spoke.
Xue Zhaodao: "But if you want to protect a person, you can't avoid killing. If you want to protect yourself, it doesn't matter if you kill."
He said this, but he looked at Situ Jiuyue with a smile, his eyes were kind and forgiving enough to melt the snow and ice.
Situ Jiuyue was startled.
"What I have determined since I was a child is the weak and the strong. I don't need others to save me. If it hurts me, I will kill whoever." Suddenly, that day, the conversation between myself and Xue Zhao appeared in Situ Jiuyue's mind.
She was telling the truth, so she deliberately frightened those people and made them hate her, which was just what she meant. But if it can be repeated, if she is still the princess of Molan, if there is no such turmoil, who wants to pick up a poisoned sword instead of a fragrant flower, who wants to live a life of nothingness and fear
She felt that she was not wrong, even if she was paranoid, hard-hearted, and indifferent, but she was forced by life. In order to survive, she turned herself from an innocent princess into such a demon that everyone must fear. People in the world feared her, cursed her, and regarded her as a snake, but no one tried to understand why.
It seemed that she was born to like killing people for fun.
But the boy in front of him, a boy who is completely different from her, dreams of traveling all over the famous mountains and rivers, punishing evil and promoting good spirited boy, let alone murder, maybe he has never done anything bad in his life, and he is as clean as a piece of white paper. But he was able to stand in front of her and say something close to understanding.
Just like light pulling people out of the dark, one word can save people.
Xue Zhao smiled and said: "If my whip can kill people, people around me don't have to kill people. When I am strong enough to protect those close to me, they don't have to take up knives to protect themselves. Doctor Situ." When he was called Situ, he stubbornly used the word "doctor", although Situ Jiuyue had always emphasized that she was not a doctor, she was a poisonous girl who would harm people.
Xue Zhao said: "Is there any way to make the whip the same as the dagger and sword?"
Situ Jiuyue was silent.
She knew that Xue Zhao was helping her. He was like taking care of an ordinary girl who was embarrassed and embarrassed, so that she would not be embarrassed or gaffe.
"Yes," she heard her own voice, "killing poison on the whip."
The poison is quenched on the whip, and if the whip hits a person, the person will be injured, but it is difficult to die. But seeing the poison of the blood sealing the throat can kill people instantly.
I really hate poison, but Xue Zhao laughed. He said, "Good idea, then I bother Dr. Situ, can you give me some poison?"
Wen Renyao didn't understand what Xue Zhao and Situ Jiuyue meant, but felt that the atmosphere between them was a bit strange. Jiang Li looked at this scene thoughtfully.
"Your brother is really a talent." Ji Heng stood behind Jiang Li, smiling.
"You also think..."
"Don't ask me," Ji Heng said, "It has nothing to do with me."
Jiang Li glared at him, she was a little suspicious, and she was not sure for a while, but when she looked at Xue Zhao and Situ Jiuyue, she felt that this was not bad. At this moment, General Ji walked out of the house. He was full of tea, flushed, and looked very happy. When he walked to Ji Heng's side, he patted Ji Heng's shoulder and said: "Smelly boy, Xue Shangshu called you in."
Jiang Li was surprised.
Wen Renyao was also surprised: "Mr. Xue asked Aheng to go in for what?"
"How do I know." General Ji was unhappy. "I'm not a woman with a long tongue. I'm still asking what he is going to say. Go ahead," he said impatiently: "What are you doing while standing."
Ji Heng went in.
