Chapter 337 Night Talk
"Why is Aunt Lin here alone now, without even a girl by her side?"
After sitting down, Jia Qiang asked with a warm smile while pouring tea for Daiyu.
Before Daiyu could speak, she saw Qingwen looking at Jia Qiang in horror. Her pretty face immediately turned red. Then she couldn't help it anymore, covered her mouth with an embroidered handkerchief, and started to giggle.
Ru Ning Chao Lu's starry eyes looked at Jia Qiang with a smile, and motioned for him to explain himself.
Jia Qiang first took a look at Daiyu's bright eyes and felt that she looked more beautiful when she smiled than when she cried.
When he sheds tears, he is certainly pitiful, but when he smiles brightly, he can laugh deep into his heart.
As a second-generation human being, he actually hides too much darkness deep in his heart, but Jia Qiang feels that these smiling eyes can look into his heart and purify for him those negative memories that will affect his temperament...
It was not until Daiyu glared at him that Jia Qiang turned to look at Qingwen and said, "If you are curious, go back and ask Xiangling yourself. But to be honest, does the master need to explain to you how he does things?"
Qingwen's face suddenly changed. She didn't dare to look at Jia Qiang's clear eyes, so she asked Daiyu, "What do you want to eat, girl?"
Daiyu waved her hand and said with a smile: "No need... Qingwen, your father is a closed disciple of my father, so you call me junior sister. But he and I are also distant relatives who came out of the fifth service. Do you understand?"
Qingwen was stunned when she heard this, and then said: "The girl is a hundred times better than our father! We are lucky to have the girl here!"
After that, he turned around and left angrily.
Jia Qiang ignored her. If he could coax a girl with such a temper, he would have been single for twenty-five or six years in his previous life...
Daiyu looked amused and said to Jia Qiang: "If others have a pretty maid with such a color, they must be pampered. But you will bully others, which will make you very popular."
Jia Qiang shook her head and said: "It's not like you don't know me. I'm face-blind. How much do I care about good looks? As long as I'm not ugly and have a kind heart, it's fine. If anyone can have a pure and kind heart like Aunt Lin, , even if she is born a salt-free woman, I still respect her."
Daiyu's heart felt a little numb after hearing what he said, and she said angrily: "You are such a nice person, how come you are now your sister and now your aunt? It's weird..."
Jia Qiang smiled and stopped bullying her. She nodded and asked for the third time: "Why is my sister here now?"
Daiyu looked at him angrily and said with a sound like gold beads falling on a jade plate, "If it's not about tomorrow's business, why else?"
Jia Qiang chuckled and said, "I haven't seen you for a day, maybe you miss me?"
"Pooh!"
This low-pitched spitting sound was obviously not Daiyu's. Jia Qiang turned around with a black line on her forehead and saw Qingwen coming in from outside with a pot of new tea, as if nothing had happened and she looked upright.
Daiyu really found this girl really interesting, of course, maybe because Qingwen was not targeting her.
Daiyu has seen many girls, all kinds of girls, but she has never seen such a bold one without any scheming or evil intentions.
However, isn’t this a bit bold and a bit presumptuous?
Brother Qiang may be really angry this time...
As expected, Jia Qiang frowned and looked at Qingwen.
Qingwen was a bachelor. She pretended to be innocent for a long time, but when she realized that she might not be able to hide it, she decisively admitted her mistake and said, "Sir, it was my fault. I couldn't hold back just now, and I didn't do it on purpose."
Jia Qiang laughed angrily and said, "Can't hold it back? What do you mean, you didn't spit on purpose, but on your heart?"
Qingwen didn't tell lies, so she remained silent.
Then, isn't it shameless?
Daiyu smiled at the side and said: "Okay, okay, why are you so angry with a girl?" Then she said to Qingwen: "Go and naughty you."
Qingwen smiled at Daiyu and said, "I invite you to have some new tea. What I just had was the leftover tea from the morning. How can you eat this because you are so delicate?"
After that, he turned around and left without provoking Jia Qiang again.
Daiyu looked at her back and was stunned. Jia Qiang waited for a long time and asked, "What's the matter?"
Daiyu felt a little sad and said: "If I were a girl like her, I might have the same temperament as her."
Jia Qiang doubted: "That shouldn't be the case. Sister Lin has a very smart mind. How could she be like this?"
Daiyu shook her head and said: "It turns out that when I was alone in Jia's house, I was very sensitive. I always felt that others treated me differently, so they must have hidden malice in their hearts and made fun of me. Therefore, I used many harsh words. Now that I think about it, , but it’s just me who is overly concerned. Qingwen... I have a strong heart. Even though I am a slave, I don’t necessarily think that I am inferior in my heart. That joke just now, if it were other sisters, you would only laugh. That’s all?”
Jia Qiang said hurriedly: "Even if Qingwen made this joke, I would not really blame her. Not only her, I have never deliberately belittled any girl in my daily life. I am not a domineering and frivolous person... "
Seeing that he was so eager to explain, Daiyu looked at him angrily and said, "I don't know yet? I just want to advise you. Mr. Mo deliberately provokes this girl. She may not be as careless as she appears. Okay, so what? Just tell me. Are you really going to use thirty big yellow sheep to entertain foreign guests tomorrow?"
When it comes to business, Daiyu is still very serious: "Don't be angry?"
Jia Qiang Nahan said: "Zhiqi? Why should I be angry... Oh, you said Qingwen, I have stopped being angry a long time ago!"
"Pooh!"
Daiyu could no longer maintain her serious look. She spat and warned, "If you keep joking, I'll get annoyed!"
Jia Qiang had no choice but to say: "I really don't know what anger you are talking about this time..."
Daiyu was startled when she heard this, then smiled and said: "It's best if you don't get angry. Tomorrow is your grand banquet. It's a serious matter. You..."
Jia Qiang understood, waved her hand and said: "What did I think it was? It turns out that I am here to act as a lobbyist for the old lady. Sister Lin, don't worry, I won't be angry, but tomorrow is your birthday party!"
Daiyu said anxiously: "The old lady has put a lot of effort into your affairs. I can't bear to have more children? Good Qiang'er, don't be angry!"
Jia Qiang chuckled, looked at her and said: "Don't worry, how could I deliberately do something bad and spoil the old lady's mind? I guarantee that the things ahead will be handled beautifully! However, the highlight will definitely be behind tomorrow. , I have prepared a big gift for you, keep it to make everyone stunned!"
When Daiyu heard this, her heart immediately moved, but she still shook her head and said: "There are so many orders coming tomorrow, how can I show up? It is only serious that you do your job well, I am not a newborn this year..."
Jia Qiang said warmly: "No matter what I say about the Yin family, I still owe you. In fact, if I really resigned and gave way to the title that day, with my arrangements in Yangzhou, we can still live freely. It's just that my identity and The situation does not allow me to risk my life. If I were not named Jia, I would not be able to meet you, aunt."
When Daiyu heard this, her eyes were so soft that they almost melted, and she whispered softly: "I understand your heart. If you really want you to resign and give up your title, then I will become a sinner. Besides, the old lady She has loved me for several years, but in the end, because of me, her big event was ruined. Wouldn’t she be sad and ruined? It’s fine just like this... Will the girl from the Yin family come tomorrow? "
Jia Qiang frowned slightly when she heard this, then relaxed her eyebrows and said with a smile: "Why is she here? No matter what, we must avoid suspicion."
Daiyu shook her head, unwilling to cause trouble, and stopped mentioning the matter. She suddenly tilted her head, looked at Jia Qiang and said with a smile: "Brother Qiang, what kind of birth gift have you prepared? Why don't you let me know in advance?" See? After I finish my business tomorrow, I will go back home to serve my father, but I can’t stay any longer."
Seeing the cunning look in her starry eyes, Jia Qiang laughed and said: "You can't see that gift right now, but there are two things to see, but we have to wait until tomorrow. I will send it to the Lin Mansion and let Mr. Aunt Mei, let’s take a look together. Good things should only be viewed by the whole family.”
Daiyu wrinkled her nose, knowing that she couldn't let Jia Qiang take it out for a look in advance, so she said: "Anyway, I'll do all the serious things tomorrow, and the rest will be long."
Jia Qiang smiled lazily and said: "You still don't trust me? When have I not counted the words I said to you?"
Daiyu looked at him, smiled angrily, and said, "Then you should rest earlier, I'll go back."
Jia Qiang said hurriedly: "I'll send you there..."
Daiyu said with a smile: "It's only a few steps away and it's in your house, so why should you worry? This morning, Bao Yatou dared to go shopping alone."
Jia Qiang laughed dryly and said: "It's not that I'm worried, but I just want to accompany you for a walk. Besides, Baoyu still hangs on, right? I'll go over and take him back to Xifu!"
…
Bu Zheng Fang, a large mansion not far from the Lin Mansion, was the residence of Jing Chaoyun, the foreman of the current dynasty, the military master, who had been in charge of the second dynasty, Jing Chaoyun.
Jing Chaoyun is also a very ethical official. At least on the surface, his personal morality is almost impeccable.
On weekdays, few officials can visit his official residence.
He won't meet you for private matters, but for official matters you can go to the government office.
This is one of the reasons why Emperor Long'an could not remove him even though he was extremely impatient with him...
But tonight, a visitor came to Jing Mansion.
The reason why he was not turned away was because the visitors were Jing Chaoyun's sister-in-law's family.
Jing Chaoyun had only one sister in his life. He was originally married in his hometown. After he became a widow, he was taken to Beijing. Later, he married Zhao Dongshan of the famous Zhao family in Suzhou and became his second wife.
Today, Zhao Dongshan serves as the censor of Zuodu of the Ducha Yuan.
High position and authority!
In the past, Zhao Dongshan rarely came to Jing Chaoyun's house except during the New Year holidays.
Firstly, it is to avoid suspicion, and secondly, it is because of righteousness.
The Zhao family is a famous family in Suzhou and is extremely wealthy. The Zhao family has a prosperous cloth name, one of the eight largest cloth names in the world.
He also comes from a serious family background, so he can get married, but he doesn't have to be a lackey.
The Zhao family has its own family, so it is no worse than the Jing family, and is even richer...
However, today, even though it is not the New Year's Day, Zhao Dongshan is still here.
In the study room of the Jing family, Zhao Dongshan looked extremely ugly. He looked at Jing Chaoyun and said in a very sad and angry tone: "Brother, that Li Ling was so stupid that he even got addicted to ransacking the Wu family. After he ransacked the Wu family, he pointed the finger at me, Zhao." Home! He thinks I don’t know that Xiuyiwei’s gossip is in my house? In the past, he turned a blind eye and just pretended not to know. But recently he found that those gossips have become more serious and even sent people to his hometown in Suzhou! He thought What is he doing? What does he want to do? Is his behavior something that an emperor should do?"
Jing Chaoyun frowned when he heard this, looked at Zhao Dongshan with his eyes, and said slowly: "Zhida, you didn't tell me the truth. I have known the Emperor since I went to Qiandi. It has been more than twenty years now. He is I can only understand what kind of temper you have. If you are not guilty of a serious crime, Xiuyiwei will never be like this! And you must be alarmist. If you really get to this point, can you still go out and come to my house? Tell me! What the hell is hiding in your heart that makes you so frightened?!"
At the end of the story, Jing Chaoyun was so shocked and furious that he looked at his brother-in-law and wanted to strangle him to death with his own hands!
How can it be such a small thing to make a person who usually attaches great importance to official authority and maintain dignity even in front of him be afraid like this?
