A few sparse starlights hit the gate of Jihong Embroidery Village, Jiang Xixi stood in front of the door with his burden, hesitated again and again, and finally gently knocked on it three times with his knuckles.
After a while, the door opened, she thought that the person who came would be the right ear, but she didn't think that Yan Niang's figure appeared in the middle of the two gates, she was neatly dressed, as if she knew that she was coming.
Jiang Xixi stared at her for a while, lowered her head and bit her lip, "Miss Yan, I'm here to say goodbye to you, tonight, I'm leaving Xin'an, I don't know when I'll see you next time." ” Yan Niang looked left and right before pulling her into the door, her star-like eyes glowing faintly in the darkness, "In order to escape the marriage, you have made up your mind to leave?"
” Jiang Xi stubbornly raised his neck and didn't let the tears in his eyes flow out, "I can't hide anything from the girl, but Yu Guoyan was born with an abnormal brain, and his temperament is cruel, it is said that he tortured the two wives before and after, how can I marry him willingly, no, even if he is a normal person, he has never met me, and he has never even said a word, so it is unwilling for me to marry him like this."
So now, running away is my only way out, girl, and I'll tell you only one of them, and you must keep it a secret for me. ” "You came here tonight just to tell me about your plans?"
Jiang Xixi wiped away her tears, took two steps back, and suddenly knelt down on her knees and bowed heavily to Yan Niang, "Miss Yan, my relatives died in the war when I was very young, Lord Cheng saved me from danger and raised me as an adult, he is also my brother and father, and he is my only concern in this world."
I know that the girl is full of chivalry, so I implore you here, if there is a day when there is a problem in Xin'anfu, I hope that the girl can take into account the little personal relationship between you and me, and help him, and I will remember the girl's kindness forever.
After saying that, she buried her head heavily, unwilling to get up for a long time.
Yan Niang bent down to help her up, the smile on her face that was often soaking disappeared, and was replaced by a solemnity that no one else had ever seen, "Miss Jiang, why do you think Master Cheng will need my help?"
” "Adults have two brothers and sisters-in-law, and two young sons around their knees, but," she slowly looked up, looking at the moon that had just poked her head out of the dark clouds, "I always felt that he was very lonely. ” "Lonely?"
"His heart is different from others, he is worried about the country and the people, and he is often afraid that justice will not exist, but Miss Yan, in such an officialdom, if she is dedicated to pursuing justice, how difficult it is.
Every time I see him worrying about the affairs of the country and the people's livelihood, I will hate myself for being useless, obviously by his side, but I can't help.
But now, it's impossible for me to even be by his side," she looked at Yan Niang, her tearful eyes suddenly lit up with hope, "But girl, you are different, you are resourceful, and you have helped adults solve so many difficult and miscellaneous cases, if you are willing to help him, I can leave with peace of mind." ” "Do you really believe me?"
Yan Niang looked at her directly, and her two jet-black eyes were shining.
Jiang Xixi rushed over to hold her hand, "Of course I believe you, Miss Yan, did you agree?"
She looked at Yan Niang, her eyes full of anticipation.
Before Yan Niang could answer, the courtyard door was suddenly pushed open, Jiang Xi was frightened, and the long sword in his hand had already been half drawn, but after seeing the figure of Qing Jun, he inserted it back again, "My lord?"
” "Let's go, the carriage is already waiting at the back door."
He stepped forward and pulled Jiang Xixi's burden.
Jiang Xixi grabbed the burden, and the two of them were like a tug-of-war, one left and one right, hanging a small package in the middle.
"I can go by myself, otherwise, it will affect the adults."
"The city gate is guarded by people from the imperial court, how can you get out?"
"I have my own methods, so I don't have to worry about them."
"Jiang Xixi, now, don't you listen to my words?"
Looking at each other, Cheng Muyou's eyes showed a terrifying light, and suddenly, the light disappeared, he dragged the burden over, and his voice became soft, "You are hiding in the carriage, I was going back to Bianliang to worship my ancestors, and they will not be suspicious." ” Jiang Xi still didn't move, his feet seemed to be on the ground.
Yan Niang stepped forward gently, "Miss Jiang, even if you go with Master Cheng, there is me here, don't worry, your escape from marriage will never affect Xin'an Mansion." ” "Miss Yan" "You just said you believed me, why did you change your mind now?"
Jiang Xixi glanced at her deeply, and finally nodded in agreement, and was just about to leave with Cheng Muyou, but a sachet was stuffed in his hand.
"It's raining out there, you take this thing for self-defense."
Her fingers were stained with Yan Niang's temperature, Jiang Xi almost wanted to shed tears, she wiped her eyes, and clasped her fists with both hands, "Girl, it's a pity to say goodbye, if there is fate, even if the sky is high and the road is far away, you and I can see you again." ” The backs of the two were hidden by the night, and the right ear came out of the house and walked next to Yan Niang, "Girl, Wang Jixun was beheaded, why did the court spread its anger on a small catcher." ” Yan Niang snorted coldly, "Xin'an Mansion will abandon Wang Jixun's head in the city, the people of the whole country know about it, and the people's hearts are excited for a while, it is said that even the streets and alleys of Bianliang are lit with firecrackers to celebrate, how can the emperor not know."
In order to cater to the will of the people and regain the hearts of the people, of course he couldn't take Xin'an Mansion on the surface, but rewarded Cheng Muyou a lot, but secretly, he couldn't swallow this breath, Cheng Muyou killed his wife and brother in front of the prison officials, how could he accept this result calmly, so he used the tricks that the emperors of all dynasties liked to make and give marriage. ” "If you can't embarrass a man, you can embarrass the woman he cherishes the most, and these emperors are yin enough."
The right ear was angry.
Yan Niang sighed, her gaze passed through the deep long night, "I expected that he would not give up, but I didn't expect that this catastrophe should happen to Miss Jiang, she is only sixteen years old, and she really shouldn't have suffered so much." ” "Sixteen years old, too young, not as old as a hair of mine." smashed his mouth with his right ear, plucked out a silver hair and threw it into the air, watching it fall slowly, "But the fate is unpredictable, her fate should be like this, girl, you don't blame yourself anymore." ” "Life?"
Yan Niang turned her head and walked towards the house, a sneer overflowing from the corner of her mouth, "I never believed in this thing, even if there is, I will go to meet it for a while to see who can fight whom." ” Horse-drawn carriages passed through the streets of Sinanseong, and the sound of horses' hooves was crisp and loud, breaking the silence of the long night.
Jiang Xixi gently lifted the curtain and looked at the familiar street scene outside, tears finally fell and fell on Xun'er's face in his arms.
The car turned a corner in front, a touch of vermilion was reflected outside the window, and in the hazy eyes of tears, Jiang Xixi saw a familiar figure, he was sitting on the side of the road, holding a thin human skin in his arms, and was gently humming a tune that could not be heard.
