Chapter 287 Clues (1)
The tailoring is elegant and open, and a bit casual. Compared with the flowers and plants carefully treated by the ladies and concubines in the yard of Jiang's mansion, such a simple scenery seems to be more likely to touch her heart.
Xiao Shao's back was as lonely and elegant as ever, but he walked a little slow for some reason. Jiang Ruan looked at the garden scenery along the way and didn't notice when Xiao Shao had stopped. He accidentally hit Xiao Shao's back.
“…”
What Xiao Shao turned his head and saw was Jiang Ruan rubbing his forehead. He was tall, with long hands and long legs. Jiang Ruan had just reached his chest. It was rare to see her making such a mistake. The action of rubbing his forehead reminded Xiao Shao of a sika deer cub raised in the back mountain when he was a disciple of Canaan Mountain, which made people couldn't help but want to touch its head.
In fact, Xiao Shao did this. The furry touch on his palm suddenly made his mood, which had been a little unhappy earlier, and he lowered his eyes but met Jiang Ruan's somewhat stunned gaze. He coughed lightly and withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened.
"The Empress Dowager decided to give her a marriage." Jiang Ruan was straight to the point, but she didn't even say much else, and went straight to the point: "Do you have anything to say to me?"
"If Jiang Xinzhi was defeated, if Xuan Li and Xuan Hua wanted to fight for the military power of Jiang Xinzhi and Guan Lianghan, they would inevitably send troops to reinforce. Now most of the military generals in the court are divided into two factions, and Xuan Li's people are Xuan Lang's people. The Zhao family should not move rashly. Although the Western Rong bowed down and surrendered, this year it seemed to have ambition. Once the troops left, the Western Rong might have abnormal movements. Southern Xinjiang is already difficult, and internal and external troubles are at that time, Da Jin may have a great crisis." Xiao Shao paused and looked at her and said, "Xuan Li has a heart for you. If he gets engaged with him, the Zhao family will be held hostage. Jiang Xinzhi will be controlled by him even if he is still alive. If the wind is wrong, you will be the only one who is pushed out." His eyes were as dark as ink and he said lightly: "Your situation is very difficult, I want to protect you."
"Xiao Shao, don't you understand what I said?" Jiang Ruan said: "I don't want protection, I want to take revenge."
"I'll help you." Xiao Shao said.
"You are not afraid that I am the witch of the country." Jiang Ruan smiled softly.
"I owe you a life, now this life is yours." Xiao Shao said solemnly: "I won't stop you."
"This is how you repay others' life-saving grace?" Jiang Ruan asked: "Whoever saves you, will you agree to marry?"
"You are the first one." The young man's eyebrows were picturesque, his posture was cold but affectionate, and his eyes were filled with a little bit of indulgence that he didn't know. Like the silent nectar of spring rain that moistened the objects, his voice was slightly hoarse: "You are the only one."
Luzhu stood outside the pavilion, looking at the two people talking from afar, and was so worried that he pulled off more than a dozen hairs: "Can this... work?"
A figure suddenly hung upside down from the crossbar and appeared in front of her. Dewdrop was startled and screamed, but saw the man quickly turning around and standing in front of her. Without thinking, he reached out to cover her mouth: "Shh, whisper, don't disturb the master!"
Dewzhu looked at Jin Er in front of him hatefully and said angrily: "Dengtu!"
Jin Er then let her go: "What a disciple? I am a heroic and handsome man, and countless women admire him... Oh, don't leave!"
Luzhu walked away without looking back. Jin Er wanted to chase him, but was blocked by a person. It was Jin San. Jin Sanyi flirted with long hair, and she was full of charm: "What? Try to please the little girl?"
"What are you talking nonsense?" Jin Er waved his hand, picked a piece of grass and held it in his mouth: "It's boring."
"You are a veteran of the Flowers, and there will be times when you miss it." Jin San mysteriously approached Jin Er's ear and said with a smile: "You have to be careful. The Jinyiwei in the mansion is very eyeing the little girl. The maids around the young lady are now popular. Besides, Lu Zhu is cute, and there are so many people who want to start. Don't say that brother didn't remind you." After that, he jumped and disappeared from Jin Er.
Jin Er's expression was complicated and stiff for a while before he spitting out the grass in his mouth and stride forward.
On the tree, Jin San held a basin and rubbed his hands: "Come on, come on, come on, see if Jin Er will miss this time, buy big on small, hey, bet quickly, it will be too late if it is too late."
In any case, the quiet and deserted Prince Jinying's mansion was much more lively because of the arrival of Jiang Ruan and his group. Jin Si attributed this matter to the fact that there were too few women in Prince Jinying's mansion. Even the women and maids in the Jinyiwei in the mansion had only ten people, and they could only watch but not eat.
Except for Tianzhu, the maids brought by the young lady each had their own characteristics. For a time, the Jinyiwei and the young boys who had been eating for more than ten years were ready to try. Luzhu Lianqiao was almost flattered at the Jinying Palace. Either this guard sent a box of snacks or that guard sent a handful of flowers. The strange Luzhu complained: "All subordinates are smart, why are the landlords so unintentional?"
Although the master was not good at it, he could not hold back a group of lively and enthusiastic subordinates. For example, this night, Jiang Ruan should have gone back, but as soon as he went out, he heard Butler Lin exaggeratedly shouting: "Oh, this god is killed, who broke the young lady's carriage? Oh, this horse looks like it's a tragedy, so he hurried to find a veterinarian to see the horse." After that, he ran over with a sorry look on his face and apologized to Jiang Ruan: "Mrs. I'm really sorry, that carriage is broken. There are no other carriages in our mansion, and this horse also needs to rest. Besides, the young lady must see that this day, it must change the weather. If it rains heavily, what if something happens? Oh, it's the old slave who is talking nonsense, how could there be an accident? But it's better to be safer, right?"
Luzhu listened to Butler Lin's rambling speechlessly, how could this horse have a bad stomach at this critical moment? Isn't it a joke that the Jinying Mansion has no carriage? Also, the weather is bright and the stars are sparse, so where is the momentum of changing the sky? Butler Lin's intention is too obvious. Butler Lin is quite satisfied with Butler Lin's actions, at least it means that the whole Jinying Mansion still attaches great importance to his own girl? He followed Butler Lin's words: "Yes, girl, it's late at night now, so it's probably unsafe on the road."
It was clearly still in the evening, and it was late at night. Bai Zhi and Lian Qiao were listening to dew-drawn nonsense, so they simply did it without knowing it.
Finally, Tianzhu walked over with a solemn look on his face and said to Jiang Ruan: "Miss, the Empress Dowager asked the aunt in the palace to send an imperial edict, saying that it would be late tonight, and the girl would rest in the Jinying Mansion."
“…”
Even the empress dowager has moved out. Did you take the boudoir to heart?
Fortunately, although I was resting in the palace of Jinying, I didn’t see Xiao Shao all night, which saved me a lot of embarrassment. However, Dew Duck was disappointed for a while, feeling that Xiao Shao was not there on such a rare night, and I was really grateful.
