C317

The next morning, after changing into a plain white suit, I took Jiayi to my grandmother's yard.

At the end of the meal, their father accompanied their grandmother to eat breakfast. Grandmother should have been the one to personally deliver Mother's coffin outside the Second Gate, but Grandmother claimed that the weather was very cold and her knees had become so old that it was hard for her to walk. In place of her old family, Hongyu and Mother Du were sent to the Second Gate, and Zhou Baumu was sent to the Second Gate in place of Aunt Chen.

Standing inside the door, I repeatedly reminded Zhou Bailu to take good care of Aunt Chen and not cause any trouble. The people from the Zhou family nodded their heads in agreement.

Hong Yu, who was standing to one side, pulled at Zhou Baili Mu's hand and said with a smile, "Big sister Zhou is so meticulous and meticulous, you don't have to worry. What kind of pearl would you like to find?"

I teased her with a smile and winked at Lan Zhi, who was standing to one side.

Lan Zhi nodded her head repeatedly, indicating that she still remembered my orders from last night. He would definitely try his best to maintain the general situation of the family.

I sighed and helped Lan out of the car.

Good, good, bad. It couldn't possibly be held in their hands for the rest of their lives, so all they could do was let them do as they pleased.

Aunt Wang had already gotten into the car and was sitting on the inside, smiling at me with her curved eyebrows.

Although Aunt Wang and I were close relatives, we didn't spend much time together. Sitting together like we did today, this was the first time, and we couldn't help but feel a little awkward. We looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

I turned sideways and lifted the curtain of the carriage to look out at the view.

Since they were a convoy that sent off spirits, they naturally did not move quickly. Along the East Street, there were many families that were close to each other that set up a sacrificial tent by the side of the road, which was presided over by servants. They burned some paper money and tied up flowers and horses to send their woes to the living. There were even families that were close to each other. They would raise their spirit banners to send him off as a show of the good relations between the two families.

Since I didn't have anything to say, I asked Aunt Wang to come over to my side. While I was giving her pointers about the various houses, I was also commenting about which ones' sheds were built neatly and which families' paper and mannequins were wrapped in bright colors.

When they arrived at the Jiang family's shrine, Aunt Wang exclaimed in surprise and pointed outside, laughing. "This one is quite strange. There's a young noble standing there, looking rather unkempt!"

My heart skipped a beat as I quickly looked out.

Jiang Ming was holding a bowl of paper-covered plum blossoms. The bright red plum blossoms had taken advantage of his face as they looked like the moon in spring. What a wonderful 'Young Master' looked like blood and was filled with love. When he saw me looking at him, he quickly straightened his back, adjusted his belt, and gave me a distant smile.

I remembered, in the teahouse, I was locked in his embrace, my palm touching his belt, the feeling of the jade cloud pattern on my palm …

I threw down the curtain and shut out his smile.

Aunt Wang looked at me and smiled. She held a pot in front of me and poured me a cup of tea. "The brazier in this car is too hot!"

I accepted the tea and casually said, "Is that so? Why can't I feel it? "

After taking a sip of tea, I finally understood the meaning of Aunt Wang's words and hurriedly touched my face.

It was boiling hot indeed.

The atmosphere in the carriage became even more awkward.

It was impossible for me to just sit there. I couldn't even open the curtains, so I just sat there awkwardly. In my heart, I silently cursed Jiang Ming a thousand times for being a bastard.

Aunt Wang tilted her head and gave me a sidelong glance before refilling her cup of tea. She handed it over to me and smiled. "Next month is your birthday. Miss is already thirteen years old. It's time for us to talk about marriage, and consider the major events of our marriage. "

I took the tea in silence and didn't answer.

Aunt Wang didn't seem to want my answer, but continued to speak. "I suppose that the young master from before is the Jiang Family's eldest young master? What a handsome young master. "It's such a cold day and you still came running over. It can be seen that you are a loyal child …"

Aunt Wang purposely wrote the words "empathy and righteousness" on the paper, and her eyes were full of expectation when she looked at me.

I lifted my teacup to hide my bitter smile.

Mother! I envy you.

You've had such a rough life and you're used to seeing the dirtiest people in the world. How can you maintain such an innocent heart?

Back then, you yourself had also married into the Lu Family because you felt wronged. How could you not know that whether it was for men or women, this marriage was never decided by the young men and women's likes and dislikes?

Young Master Jiang has a hundred and twenty thousand points of sincerity towards me, but his family doesn't agree, so what can I do? What can he do?

After a while, the carriage rumbled as it moved forward. Aunt Wang kept on telling me that a woman can't always stay at home. Don't think that your brother was brought up personally and will be good to her in the future …

As I listened, I actually fell asleep for a while. Unknowingly, I fell asleep.

Suddenly, the carriage lurched to a halt and I couldn't help but lean forward. If it weren't for Aunt Wang's quick reaction and grabbing onto me, I would have lost more than just a teapot.

I woke up from my stupor and saw that Aunt Wang's face was filled with panic. I quickly comforted her and patted her hand. "Mother, you sit here. I'll go ask what's going on."

When Aunt Wang heard me call her 'Mother', she couldn't help but show a bit of panic on her face.

It made my heart ache.

This was when his mother was still alive and was being controlled. He was scared.

Just as I was about to get up, Aunt Wang suddenly pushed me down and said sternly, "The coachmen outside are all men. You're a young lady who hasn't left the pavilion yet, how can you talk to them? I'll go take a look!"

Without waiting for a reply, Aunt Wang took her veil and jumped out of the car.

After waiting for a long time, I still couldn't see Aunt Wang back, but I could faintly hear some quarreling sounds coming from the wind. I couldn't hear them clearly, so I pulled aside the curtain of the carriage and stuck my head out to see.

As the clatter of hooves approached, I pulled my head back.

There were two "dang dang" sounds coming from the carriage. The white curtain of the carriage moved, and a bright object fell into the carriage through the seams. It twirled around two times before stopping at my feet.

I picked it up and saw that it was a papaya shaped pendant made of gold wire.

Besides Jiang Ming, there was no one else who was so bored.

With a wave of my hand, I threw the scented pendant out of the window.

Without any sound of him landing on the ground, I curled my lips and am definitely picked up by that fellow.

Two "dang dang" sounds came from the side of the carriage.

I lifted the curtain of the carriage and snappily said, "Young master, it's best if you don't give me such a boring thing!"

Jiang Ming, who was riding on his horse, nodded his head. He first spread his hands towards me, then opened up his outer clothes. Inside, it was completely empty. How about … I'll just give myself to you! "

I spat at him and said, "Stop talking like that!" He then pointed to the back of the procession and said, "Aren't you here to send off the sacrifices? Then why aren't you just obediently following behind me? If you're fine, why did you run over to the pile of female servants? "

Jiang Ming smiled. With a trace of elegance in his eyes, he forcefully pushed back that red plum blossom.

He pointed back and said: "You are too stupid!" You are at the end yourself, do you know? "

Startled, I followed his directions and looked behind me.

Since when did the car I was riding become the last one?

I frowned.

Due to my great filial piety, it was inconvenient for me to preside over the response from the road sacrifice. In addition, as I was an unmarried girl after all, it was hard for me to show my face outside. She accompanied the family letter, randomly arranging the various matters. At this moment, my car suddenly swerved. Something must have gone wrong at Lan Lan's place.

I turned to get out of the car.

"Sigh!" "Sigh!" As soon as I put down the curtain, a metal pincer suddenly came in and gripped my shoulder tightly. Jiang Ming bent his body and brought his face close to mine as he scolded me with a frown, "Did you not see me?" What can't you ask me? "He still wants to go down by himself!"

I cursed silently in my heart.

He really was a man!

Don't you know how strong your hands are?

It was so painful!

It was only when I frowned at his hand on my shoulder that he realized it wasn't right to do so. He gave me an embarrassed smile, retracted his hand, and patted my shoulder as if to flatten his wrinkled shirt. He flattered me: "I'm sorry! "I didn't expect that the clothes of your girl's house would be so expensive. Just a slight touch and it will be ruined!"

Could it be that my shoulder is not as important as a piece of clothing?

I wanted to vomit blood from his anger.

And, in his eyes, am I, for the sake of a suit of clothes?

I didn't want to waste my breath on him so I fiercely glared at him. "Didn't you say that you wanted me to ask you about something? Then tell me quickly! "Stop wasting your breath here, it's not annoying at all!"

Jiang Ming chuckled. He leaned his face closer to the window and said with a smile, "So now you … "Are you not angry with me anymore?"

I watched him on his horse, his buttocks sticking out as he tried to get closer to the carriage, and thought to myself.

That's right, if I were to use that silver hairpin of mine and ruthlessly stab it one hundred and two hundred times into your buttocks, I might not be angry with you anymore.

I might even be happy!

A soft breeze suddenly blew in front of him. Jiang Ming sighed, "Luckily, you didn't get angry. With your glare, I was almost scared to death!"

I looked at him coldly.

Riding on a big horse, wearing a crescent-moon-white wave-tattooed robe, with a white jade hairpin on his head, with a face full of... Such a vulgar smile!

And he was scared to death!

Look at his face full of smiles, it's better if he was happy to death!

I coldly snorted. "Are you going to say it or not!?" "If you don't tell me, I'm going to get off!"

No matter how hard I try, I have to break my record in front of him.

As long as I was with him, no matter what I said, this guy would talk to himself and bring me to the topic he wanted to talk about.

Actually, I don't like the feeling of losing control.

"I'll say it!" I say! " Seeing that I was annoyed, Jiang Ming didn't beat around the bush anymore. He pointed to the front with the horsewhip and said, "The servant girl beside you came over just now. She probably told the coachman to drive the carriage slowly and let the other two pass first. In the end, not long after the two cars passed by, a group of people suddenly appeared in front of them and surrounded them.

One of the two cars behind me had a maid in it and the other had a mother in it.

I looked around and was shocked to find that none of the faces around me were faces I recognized.

Jiang Ming understood my expression and quickly comforted, "These are my personal guards."

The so-called private guards were guards who grew up together and were mostly used by military generals. Jian An Jiang's family was a family of martial generals. It wasn't strange for the young master of the second branch family to raise eight personal guards.

However, even though Jiang Ming's personal guards all wore the clothes of servants, they moved in a neat and orderly manner. The sounds of horse hooves could be heard in unison, and even when they were holding onto their cages tightly and resting, they still bent their arms over their waists.

This was no ordinary guard, but a tiger general brought up from the battlefield.

In my previous life, I followed Xuelang to the city gate to watch over the prisoners. Old General Gu maintained this posture as he rode past. I even laughed and whispered with Xuelang, saying that this person was really stupid. He could have been very relaxed, but he still carried it. Was he tired?

Xue Lang told me that this was because the soldiers of the Charge Battalion were used to wearing sabers at their waists. Old General Gu, who came from a long background, climbed up from the soldiers to fight them. This posture allowed him to draw his sabre from his waist whenever he wanted to charge forward.

I couldn't help but frown and blame Jiang Ming: "How can you bring these people out? People like me can see that they are not normal, not to mention a knowledgeable person! Does your father know that you are so ostentatious? "

Jiang Ming raised his eyebrows as if he didn't care and said with a smile, "Of course I'm here to protect you!" He then giggled as he came closer, suddenly extending his hand and said, "I just found out that you care about me so much! "Don't worry, these people will only listen to my orders. My father won't care!"

Startled by his sudden action, I quickly pulled back, but he only ran his hand through my hair and brushed the hair that had been lifted by the wind from one side of my face.

His palm was slightly callused from holding the reins all year round, and as it slid across my cheek, I felt a rough, warm sensation on the surface of my skin.

Maybe I was too lonely, or maybe I really fell in love with this bright young man. I was stunned for a long time before I realized that I should avoid him.

At that time, his fingers had already touched my lips. I don't know if it was because the sunlight outside made my eyes go blurry, but a kind of peach color appeared on his face. His eyes were slightly squinted, and he had an intoxicated expression.

This person … He was shameless to the extreme!

I knocked his hand off and felt angry at myself. I shouldn't have gone into a daze, but my brain felt like it was filled with paste. I cursed silently as I thought, "What a useless person! How could he do such a thing in front of so many people!"

After being struck by my attack, Jiang Ming looked as if he had woken up from a dream. He turned his face away and muttered something to himself.

"What did you say?"

I glared at him.

"It's nothing!" Jiang Ming suddenly raised his arm to wipe his face and straightened his body on the horse. Without looking at me, he said in a serious tone, "It's the Lu family's second and third master who are coming. They also brought a green carriage behind them. I think it's a lady's carriage."

I nodded and smiled.

Although Jiang Ming avoided my eyes, his expression couldn't be hidden. At first, it was just a little bit pink. But now, it's as red as if he's drunk.

I suddenly felt that this kind of him was very cute.

I asked him, leaning out of the window.

"What did you just say?"
