The huge hall was quiet, only the sound of the rain outside the window and the sound of each other's breathing, and a faint ambiguous atmosphere floated.
The tip of her nose was full of man's breath and breath, Jiang Ningbao's blushing face was about to bleed, she nestled like an ostrich in Ding Guogong Xie Heng's arms, she could faintly hear the man's rapid heartbeat.
I didn't expect that the first time I threw myself into my arms...it would happen in such a situation, and it caught her by surprise.
Jiang Ningbao's heart was beating wildly.
Dingguo Gong Xie Heng was stunned by Jiang Ningbao's actions, and he couldn't help stretching out his big hands to actively wrap around the little girl's waist, and hugged the little girl tightly in his arms. If you look carefully, you can find him His big hands trembled slightly.
This is his little girl.
A little girl who always loves to tease him.
Holding the little girl's delicate and limp body, Duke Ding Xie Heng let out a satisfied sigh in his heart.
The little girl didn't go to Dingguo Mansion for the past two days. When she fell asleep at night, the little girl always appeared in his sleep and fell asleep with him, but when she woke up in the morning, there was nothing around her, only him.
For the first time, he felt lonely, and for the first time, he had the urge to advance the wedding date.
After finishing the official business today, it was already evening, and it was still raining heavily outside, but Duke Ding still couldn't help taking the initiative to visit the little girl by taking advantage of the medicinal wine.
Every part of the body is full of the temperature of a man, and every breath is full of the breath of a man. This is the first time that the Duke took the initiative to hug her, took the initiative to hug her...
Jiang Ningbao's heart was pounding like a deer, as if she was about to jump out, she slowly stretched out her hand, slowly and proactively, holding the man's broad and warm hand...
At the moment when his fingers were interlocked, Jiang Ningbao couldn't help thinking of holding his hand and growing old with him, and his body trembled slightly.
The two hugged each other motionlessly, listening to each other's heartbeat.
A gust of cool wind brought water vapor in from outside the window, instantly waking up the ambiguous atmosphere between the two of them, but Jiang Ningbao was still held tightly by Duke Ding, unable to move.
Jiang Ningbao's heartbeat has returned to normal. She raised her rouge-like face and stared at Ding Guogong's handsome and cold face with sharp eyes. She noticed a blush on the base of his ears. She pretended to be calm and made a joke. : "Grandpa, you hug me so tightly, and your ears are red."
"Um."
Dingguo Gong Xie Heng looked down at the little girl, a faint smile appeared in his eyes, but he did not let go of his big hand. The little girl's body was delicate and soft, and he was reluctant to let go.
Jiang Ningbao's eyes widened, and her eyes were full of accusations: "Master Guo, you have turned bad, did you read the indecent script?" In the past, the Duke of Guo was always the one who was teased by her, but now it seems to be the other way around.
Jiang Ningbao was dumbfounded.
"I learned from you." The little girl in the dream kept teasing him, and Duke Ding decided to tease him back in reality. It feels wonderful to take the initiative.
No wonder little girls always like to tease him.
Duke Ding thought secretly in his heart.
Dingguo Gong Xie Heng's sudden arrow, Jiang Ningbao was shocked. After the shock, she was proud, a sly look flashed in her eyes, she mustered up her courage, and suddenly stood on tiptoe and pecked his handsome face.
"Do you still dare to learn?"
The little girl's eyes are extremely bright, shining like stars, her eyes are full of cunning and provocation, the tenderness and moistness at that moment made Duke Ding Xie Heng's heart go weak, he lowered his head, and gently imprinted a smile on her hair. kiss.
"Don't dare."
Duke Ding's voice was low and hoarse.
She was kissed... hair was kissed.
It wasn't a cheek, but it was a kiss.
Jiang Ningbao's heartbeat was beating wildly again, and the blush that had finally faded on his face floated up again, like the most beautiful rosy clouds in the sky.
At this time, a slender and handsome man suddenly broke into the hall, accompanied by a warm and clear voice.
"Ningbao, brother is back."
When the handsome man came in, he saw a man and a woman hugging. The woman's face was his sister Ning Bao, and Jiang Jin was blown up.
"Ningbao, you... you... who is he?"
Jiang Ningbao obviously didn't expect his elder brother to come back at this time, and even broke into the hall. Wasn't someone guarding the door? Why didn't anyone communicate.
Thinking that he was hugging Duke Ding, Jiang Ningbao froze and blushed. This time, he was not ashamed, but embarrassed.
"Brother, you're back." Jiang Ningbao left Duke Ding's arms quite easily this time, pretending to be calm and showing a bright smile to his eldest brother.
The smile is full of joy.
Jiang Jin was wearing a light blue robe, with a touch of moisture on her body, and her scrutinizing eyes were fixed on the man who just hugged her sister. The man was tall, with a handsome and tough face, his eyes were cold and sharp, and there was a faint sense of terror Diffuse, the aura on his body is as sharp as a sharp blade about to be unsheathed, making it daunting.
This is not an easy man.
Jiang Jin felt palpitated for a while, and couldn't help but think of Duke Ding mentioned by his sister Ningbao in the letter. His eyes fell on a string of red sandalwood Buddha beads on the man's wrist. Could it be that the imposing man in front of him was the one mentioned by his sister in the letter? Her fiancé, the Duke Ding who has achieved great military exploits and is famous all over the world.
"Your Excellency is Duke Ding?"
Dingguo Gong Xie Heng nodded lightly, and tried his best to restrain his arrogance and evil spirit. This is the little girl's biological brother, and he will also be his eldest brother-in-law in the future.
"Brother, Lord Guo is my fiancé, and we are married by imperial decree." Jiang Ningbao held Duke Ding's hand and said with a smile, her soft face was full of joy.
Marriage was bestowed by the imperial decree, and they got married on the first day of May, so it was not out of the ordinary for them to just hug each other.
Jiang Jin, who knew her sister quite well, understood her sister's eyes, and was heartbroken for a while.
My sister can't help my brother.
Duke Dingguo Xie Heng's aura and evil spirit carried a strong sense of oppression. Ning Bao approached easily, and his face was as rosy as usual. It seems that his sister did not lie to him.
She was really not affected by Ding Guogong's evil spirit.
Jiang Jin is very proud of this, her sister is special and different.
But thinking of the scene of the two of them embracing each other just now, Jiang Jin immediately felt uncomfortable, especially now that her younger sister took the initiative to hold Ding Guogong's hand, and her sister was really snatched away by Ding Guogong.
Jiang Jin felt sour in her heart.
Thinking of the younger sister being wronged in the future, and the elder brother being unable to support the younger sister and seek justice, he couldn't help feeling sad.
Jiang Jin was sore and bitter in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, and she bowed her hands calmly to Duke Ding.
"I have seen the Duke!"
Duke Ding said in a low voice, with a touch of intimacy in his cold tone: "We will be a family from now on, so there is no need to be polite."
"Ningbao has not yet married the Duke, so the gift cannot be discarded."
A smile appeared on Jiang Jin's handsome face. He could hear the closeness in the words of the Duke of the State. Although this future brother-in-law is high and powerful, but with Duke Ding's character, he would definitely not retire like Xie Shizi. Destroy my sister's reputation.
Now that Ningbao is not married yet, Jiang Jin will not ignore the proper etiquette.
The only thing that confuses Jiang Jin is that Ding Guogong is the adoptive father of Ningbao's ex-fiancée, and Xie Shizi is said to be engaged to the eldest daughter of Marquis Anyuan.
Duke Ding Xie Heng: "..."
"Brother, it's raining so hard outside, why did you come back at this time." After being happy, Jiang Ningbao frowned and looked at her elder brother with disapproval.
What would she do if something happened along the way.
Hearing the concern in her sister's words, Jiang Jin's heart warmed up, and she smiled softly at her sister: "Brother knows it well, Ningbao doesn't have to worry about brother."
Jiang Ningbao also knew that her elder brother was eighteen years old and had always acted prudently, but she still couldn't help worrying that the roads were slippery in rainy days and accidents were prone to happen in ancient times.
"From now on, you are not allowed to drive on rainy days." Jiang Ningbao glared at him.
Seeing her younger sister staring at him, Jiang Jin nodded quickly: "Brother, I promise there will be no next time."
Only then did Jiang Ningbao smile, let go of Grandpa Guo's hand, walked to the tea table, poured a cup of hot tea for her elder brother and handed it to him: "Brother, drink a cup of hot tea to warm up your body."
"Thank you Ningbao."
Jiang Jin took the teacup with a smile and drank it down. After drinking a cup of hot tea, she felt that the cold air all over her body had dissipated a lot, and Ningbao still felt sorry for her brother.
Dingguo Gong Xie Heng watched silently from the side, his eyes kept on the little girl, his eyes softened.
The sky gradually darkened, and it was still pouring rain outside. Jiang Ningbao lit the red candles in the hall, and the whole hall instantly brightened.
At this time, Chunxi's voice sounded outside.
"Grandpa, third young master, girl, dinner is ready."
"Let's serve." Jiang Ningbao ordered in a warm voice. After finishing speaking, she looked back at her elder brother and waved to him, "Brother, it's just in time for you to come back. Let's have dinner together."
Jiang Jin: "..."
Besides Ningbao, who can eat at the same table as Duke Ding? Jiang Jin glanced at her younger sister resentfully. Jiang Ningbao obviously realized this too. She smiled shyly at her elder brother and asked the servants to add an extra dining table.
The servants filed in with dishes.
The dinner is prepared by the chef in the small kitchen in the yard. The meal is rich, with a proper mix of meat and vegetables, delicate and delicious, and full of aroma.
Jiang Ningbao and Dingguogong sat together, and the two had a meal intimately. From time to time, they heard Jiang Ningbao acting like a baby and asking Dingguogong to pick up food. Jiang Jin, the eldest brother who just came back, was sitting alone at a dining table While eating, he was dazzled by his sister and future brother-in-law not far away.
While it was delicious, Jiang Jin was tasteless.
It looks so pitiful.
Dingguo Gong Xie Heng was very happy in his heart, this is the little girl eating at the same dinner table with him, as for the future uncle, Dingguo Gong had already completely ignored him.
After dinner, it was already dark, and Jiang Ningbao was standing gracefully under the eaves of the corridor covered with lanterns. After reluctantly sending off Dingguo Gong Xie Heng, she still stood still, and Jiang Jin who was beside her said sourly: "Ning Bao, it's pitch black outside, and the figure of the Grand Duke is no longer visible, why are you still standing and looking, it's time to go back to the house."
Jiang Ningbao blushed slightly, glared at his elder brother in embarrassment, and turned back to the room. The eldest brother Jiang Jin was secretly amused, Shi Shiran followed in, sat on the chair and poured a cup of tea, and his handsome face was reflected by the candlelight. profile.
Chunxi served the third young master tea, melons and fruits, and then stepped aside with Chunle.
Jiang Ningbao sat next to her elder brother as usual, and told her elder brother Jiang Jin what had happened these days. After Jiang Jin listened carefully and attentively, a deep look flashed across her handsome face.
"Ningbao, you've done a good job. Although we are the only brothers and sisters left in the second room, we are not easy to bully. Wait for my brother to pass the exam this year, and then take the general examination next year. If you pass the exam, our second room will stand up. There is no need to look at Da Fang's face in the future."
"Well, I believe in brother." Jiang Ningbao nodded with a smile.
In the book, Jiang Jin was appointed by the sage to be Tanhualang in Yang Shuqing's previous life. Unfortunately, after Yang Shuqing's rebirth, her elder brother was framed by someone and became disabled and could no longer take the imperial examination.
What impressed Jiang Ningbao the most was what Yang Shuqing said after learning that his eldest brother was disabled: "It's a pity for Jiang Jin. If there is no such vicious sister as Jiang Ningbao, he should be the same as in his previous life. Everyone praises Tanhua Lang."
When Jiang Ningbao saw this sentence, he sneered in his heart. Without the intervention of Yang Shuqing's rebirth, how could the fate of 'Jiang Ningbao' and Jiang Jin have changed drastically.
It's really a cat crying and a mouse pretending to be merciful.
Seeing that her younger sister believed in him so much, Jiang Jin felt happy for a while, and became more and more determined to pass the provincial examination this year, but when she thought of the mess in the mansion, she couldn't help but said worriedly: "Ningbao, uncle has been lowered from coma. Regarding the official position and the Buddhist scriptures, my aunt will definitely let you go when she comes back, so be careful and don't talk about it."
In fact, Jiang Ningbao is smarter than Jiang Jin imagined, but in Jiang Jin's brother's heart, Ningbao is still that delicate and soft sister who needs to be cared for.
"Brother, as long as my aunt doesn't come back before I get married, there won't be any moths." Jiang Ningbao's eyes flashed a light, Zhang's every move in Qingshui Temple is under her control.
Now add an unconscious uncle.
"That's a good idea."
Jiang Jin smiled slightly, and looked at Ningbao with a look of relief. It seems that after some things, the younger sister has finally grown up. As long as Mrs. Zhang is not in the mansion, there is nothing to fear. The younger sister is protected by Duke Ding. There are still so many loyal people, it is extremely difficult to take advantage of the loopholes and design to frame Ningbao.
Grandmother is a person who puts her interests first. As long as Ningbao is Duke Ding's fiancée, even if she doesn't like her sister, she will protect her. The only person their brothers and sisters have to guard against is Dafang.
"Brother, I almost forgot. There are a few housemaids sent by your aunt in your yard. Be careful not to be tricked." Jiang Ningbao suddenly thought of this, and couldn't help being annoyed. I knew that my elder brother would come back so soon , she found a reason to get rid of the maidservants with ulterior motives in the eldest brother's yard.
Jiang Jin couldn't help laughing, and tapped her sister on the head: "Ningbao, you underestimate brother, is your brother so easy to be calculated?"
"I'm worried." Jiang Ningbao stared at her brother speechlessly.
"Okay, it's getting late, I'll go to Shoujintang to visit my grandmother first." Jiang Jin took a sip of tea, stood up and was about to leave, Jiang Ningbao hurriedly sent a few servants to her elder brother.
When the eldest brother Jiang Jin left and Jiang Ningbao returned to the house, Chunxi and Chunle hurriedly called someone to bring hot water. After taking a bath, Jiang Ningbao lay on the soft big bed and hadn't fallen asleep for a long time. As long as she closed her eyes, her mind would involuntarily appear In the scene of being held in the arms of the Duke, the breath of the Duke seems to be lingering on the tip of his nose.
That night, Dingguo Gong Xie Heng had a good night's sleep, but Jiang Ningbao had rare insomnia.
