Just as he was talking with Eldest Miss Jiang, a maidservant passed on the message, "Second Miss is coming over!"
Look, this really is the right time to do so!" I smiled as I served tea and exchanged pleasantries with Eldest Miss Jiang.
"How can this child be so ignorant!" While moving out of the brick bed, Miss Jiang complained in a low voice, "I just got you back, why are you here now?"
So it was because of Eldest Miss Jiang that Second Miss Jiang had returned to the Madame's side just now.
"Elder sister!" Second Miss Jiang giggled as she lifted the curtain and entered the room. Without any hesitation, she squeezed in beside Eldest Miss Jiang and grabbed a peach blossom cake before stuffing it into her mouth.
"Sigh!" "No matter what, it's not as delicious as the food your house cooks!" Second Miss Jiang wrinkled her young face, took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and wiped her mouth. Let her bring it to cook for brother-in-law! "
I couldn't hold back my laughter. Big Miss Jiang's face reddened from her words. She reprimanded me in a low voice, "Not a small lady. What nonsense are you spouting all day!?"
"I'm not spouting nonsense!" Although her mouth said that it wasn't tasty, Second Miss Jiang still reached out to take the second piece. With a slurred voice, she said: "Why else would mother invite a chef to teach you how to cook?"
Big Miss Jiang was momentarily speechless. She stared at her younger sister for a long time, unable to think of a suitable sentence to say.
"Why didn't you play with them?" Seeing that the atmosphere between the two sisters was a little awkward, I hurriedly smiled and interrupted.
"What is there to play!" Second Miss Jiang sighed.
"It's not that there's nothing to play with, it's that I've been played by you all along!" Big Miss Jiang sighed as she served a cup of tea to her younger sister.
"Who asked them to steal my brother!" Second Miss Jiang rebutted with a righteous face, "I'm just giving them a small lesson!"
"Your words are too ridiculous!" Big Miss Jiang was so angered by her sister that she knocked on the table. "Are you the same when sister-in-law enters your house in the future?"
"Big brother is not interested in those mediocre fans of theirs!" Before she could say more, Second Miss Jiang had already become angry.
When the two of them talked about Sir Jiang in front of me, they were rather open and calm. Could it be that they still didn't know that Sir Jiang and I had a 'marriage agreement'?
"Are you here to gossip?" I was a little worried that she would accidentally lead the conversation to me, so I hurriedly changed the topic with a smile. "This time, you have left a bunch of people behind!"
"Aiya!" Second Miss Jiang looked a little upset. She dropped the pastries in her hands and said, "I came to invite you to go rowing!"
Boating?
Although Eldest Miss Xu was not intelligent, she had an unusually stubborn personality. Since the last time she knew she could see Young Master Jiang's study on a boat, she seemed to be particularly obsessed with paddling around the lake.
"Thank you for your good intentions!" I smiled and sipped my tea. "I won't be going in this hot weather."
"How can you not go?" Second Miss Jiang was both surprised and sad.
Surprise I can understand, young girls who do not like to play? But where did the sadness come from?
"Thank you for your kind intentions. I'm really afraid of the heat!" I fanned myself with my hands. "I am already very hot just sitting in this room, let alone running to the rising lake!"
"Do you want two maids to come in and fan you?" Miss Jiang asked with concern.
"Then what the hell did I tell you!" I smiled and teased Big Miss Jiang, "In that case, I'd rather be hot!"
"Then you can go! "Sister Yuanyuan and I will just stay in the room and talk." Eldest Miss Jiang was afraid that Second Miss Jiang's long absence would cause the other young ladies who came to complain, so she hurriedly sent her back home.
"Come with me!" Caught off guard, Second Miss Jiang suddenly jumped down from the brick bed and dragged me down, almost pulling me down. Without realizing it, she pulled me along as she said, "There's a good thing after all!"
Big Miss Jiang saw her sister's reckless behavior and her rude words. Afraid that I would make her angry, she quickly got off the brick bed and said while shuffling her shoes, "Let go of little sister Yang, what kind of manners is this?!"
Second Miss Jiang reluctantly let go of my hand and stared at me with a pair of pitiful eyes.
Look at her posture, she would never have done it if I hadn't gone with her.
"It's fine if it is as you say, but if it is really boring, I will seriously anger you!" I laughed and teased Second Miss Chiang and agreed to go with her.
Big Miss Jiang escorted the two of us to the entrance of the courtyard. She repeatedly reminded her sister not to be naughty and that she should be careful of falling into the water.
Unlike the great pleasure boat before, the two ebony boats were docked on the water. The four girls were wearing green clothes and stood in the stern of the boat with oars in their hands. The cool green color of the summer sky gave them a tinge of colourful landscape painting.
"Interesting!" Second Miss Jiang pulled my sleeve and bent down to whisper into my ear. "This is a method that my big brother came up with!"
This Young Master Jiang was truly all-pervading!
When it came to the division of the ships, the ladies were at odds again. There were a total of nine misses, Third Miss Xu was still young and was left on the shore under the care of her tits. Eldest Miss Xue said that she was seasick and was willing to sit on the shore with Third Miss Xu. Second Miss Xue had always followed her sister's lead and naturally stayed as well.
Second Miss Jiang meant me, her, and Miss Xue would ride together, and the remaining Miss Xue San, Eldest Miss Xu, and Second Miss Xu would ride together.
However, Miss Xu insisted on riding together with Second Miss Jiang, and we couldn't separate the Xu sisters. I hurriedly smiled and said, "Why don't Miss Xue and I and the two sisters from the Xu family exchange?"
"That won't do!" Just as I finished speaking, Second Miss Jiang interrupted me. "You have to come with me!"
"If elder sister exchanged with fourth sister Xue, how would younger sister feel?" Second Miss Xu had always been a good person, and now she was busy trying to smooth things over.
If it was Miss Xue Si's turn, Second Miss Jiang would have stopped talking.
Suddenly it seemed to me that this trip was not a simple one.
However, he didn't know if he could get off the boat in time.
"It's better if I trade with my sister!" I smiled and was about to walk over to Second Miss Xu's side, but was caught off guard when Second Miss Jiang pulled me over.
"Can I trouble fourth sister and elder sister Xu to exchange?" In the end, Second Miss Jiang had no choice but to compromise, but she was still unwilling to part with me.
I silently guessed that since there were still two young misses by my side, nothing bad should happen to them.
Although the boat maiden looked thin and frail, she was able to row the boat steadily without any shaking. However, the boat was narrow enough for only one person to stand on, and after Second Miss Jiang boarded the boat, she did not enter. At this moment, one could only hear her chattering happily with the boat maiden outside.
"Wah!" I never thought that big brother's residence would be so beautiful! " Right after Second Miss Jiang finished speaking, Eldest Miss Xu could no longer sit still. She stood up shakily and held onto the side of the boat, wanting to go out to take a look. "What?" "What?"
The boat jolted with her movements.
"She's really beautiful!" Eldest Miss Xu exclaimed from outside.
"Elder sister, let's go pick some flowers!" Second Miss Jiang's voice seemed to be much more passionate than usual, and there was even a hint of happiness in her voice.
"Okay ~" Big Miss Xu didn't hesitate at all. Being able to walk into the study of her beloved Young Master Jiang at such a close distance, one could tell the jubilation in her heart just from her voice.
"I don't think I'll go!"
I have no interest in going to Young Master Jiang's study on such a hot day.
"Then sister will stay here!" Unexpectedly, not only did Second Miss Jiang not forcefully pull me, she readily agreed.
Eldest Miss Xu was only thinking of getting to the shore quickly, so she didn't pay any attention to me. She just stood at the bow of the boat, urging the boat maiden to slide to the shore quickly.
I seemed to see Second Young Miss Jiang standing outside, bowing and blinking at me!
What the hell was this girl doing?
Am I seeing things?
"Little sister, there's no need to send me off!" Second Miss Jiang pulled Eldest Miss Xu along as she happily jumped off the side of the boat.
Second Miss Jiang and Eldest Miss Xu soon disappeared into the distance. Soon, one could faintly see two black dots moving along the shore.
"Miss, aren't you going to take a look at the bow?" Outside, the boat maiden's voice was clear and crisp, carrying a tone of tender-tone.
"No, I'm not as daring as you ladies. It would not be good if I fell down head first!" I smiled and shook my head, rejecting her good intentions. "Where are you from?"
"This slave is from Zhejiang Jiaxing!"
"Don't tell me Jiaxing doesn't have any rich people? Why do you have to come here to do business despite the heavy mountains and rivers? " I chatted with her as I looked out the window at the view.
"Your servant's house was in trouble and saved by the young noble. There were no seeds in the house. Since the young noble asked me if I wanted to be Lady Jiang's mother, your servant followed you here!"
The boat maiden's words were without sadness or joy, but from her words, I recalled the tragedy that happened back then.
With such an elegant scenery, the swaying boat, the breeze blowing from the water, and the lotus, why talk about such sorrows? I also closed my mouth and looked out at the scenery.
Now that he was sure that Miss Xue was interested in King Qi, what should he do next? As long as Miss Xue and King Qi were to act in an unofficial manner, the Xue Clan would never dare to send their virtuous and ungrateful daughter to the palace in order to leave any evidence behind. Second Miss Xue was born from a concubine, let alone Third Miss. Fifth Miss was too young, and only Fourth Miss was left to be used. This matter was completely prepared, and only the east wind was left.
However, Miss Xue had been raised in education and etiquette since she was young. She had always been virtuous and virtuous. Naturally, she was familiar with the teachings of a woman. Moreover, she was cautious by nature, so it was not easy to deceive her.
What's more, right now King Qi isn't here, he's just tricked her out. Do you want me to pretend to be a man and meet with her?
All of a sudden, a low-pitched sound rang out, as if something had gone through a thousand twists and turns. The sound entered his ears …
