Marriage of the Di Daughter

Zhao Ke came very quickly.

It was probably unexpected that before midnight, Jiang Li blew his whistle. He should still be doing other things, with snowflakes and grass residues outside. Standing in front of the window, he said, "miss two."

"Zhao Ke, there is something I want you to do." Jiang Li looks at him.

Zhao Ke couldn't help but be stunned. When Jiang Li came to call him, he put on a reasonable and confident appearance. Zhao Ke was also unwilling at the beginning, but later he became numb. Adults have ordered him to just obey. What else can he say?

But today's Miss Jiang Er almost has a sincere meaning in her tone. Her expression was not as natural as before. On the contrary, she was a little anxious and prayed.

Although the people who came out of the government were as hard hearted as iron, Zhao Ke sighed in his heart when he saw Jiang Li's eyes. No wonder such a ruthless person as an adult would indulge Miss Jiang Er many times. When the young lady showed a look of prayer, it would make people feel an illusion that as long as the Buddha refused her, it would be an unforgivable sin.

"Your Excellency has ordered, and my subordinates just do what the second Miss asks." Zhao Ke answered mechanically. No matter what he thinks inside, he can't show it.

"My servant girl Bai Xue, whose hometown is Zaohua village, can you go... Or can you find someone to go to Zaohua village to pick up a girl named Haitang for me and return to Yanjing city?"

Zhao Ke looked at Jiang Li in doubt. Where is Zaohua village? He has never been to such a strange place to perform tasks, and Jiang Li's request is even more incredible, to pick up a girl? He is not a coachman! Now Miss Jiang Er even let him do it with the coachman? But the monthly silver of the government did not increase!

"This matter... Subordinates have to ask adults." Zhao Kedao.

Jiang Li knew it clearly. She knew that Zhao Ke would tell Ji Heng about it. In fact, everything she asked Zhao Ke to do would eventually spread to Ji Heng's ears. After all, Ji Heng was Zhao Ke's master. But this time, once the matter of Begonia was known by Ji Heng, with the wisdom of that man, he may not find any clues.

At least she doesn't seem to have nothing to do with the Xue family. Maybe Ji Heng has long known about this matter.

More lice don't itch, more debt don't worry, at this time, Jiang Li instead gave birth to a broken pot of courage, she said: "random."

Zhao Ke was surprised again. Since Miss Jiang Er didn't let others do it, but let the people of the government do it, it must be a very confidential thing. But I'm not afraid to be known by Ji Heng. Has the adult and Miss Jiang Er become so familiar? Wait, has Miss Jiang Er also become the subordinate of the adult? Naturally, there is no need to hide anything between the subordinate and the master.

Jiang Li didn't know that there were so many tricks in the guard's heart in front of her. She only said, "no matter how you tell your master, once your master agrees, please pick her up in the shortest time. On the way, you may encounter an enemy chasing her, and maybe the opponent's array is not small. Please be careful and protect the safety of Haitang."

What she said was serious. At the beginning, Zhao Ke, who was not serious at all, also felt Jiang Li's tension. He realized that this matter was probably a very important thing for Jiang Li, and he didn't dare to underestimate it at the moment. "My subordinates know that I'll tell you tonight and repay Miss Jiang Er tomorrow morning."

Jiang Li nodded.

Zhao Ke disappeared out of the window. Bai Xue and tong'er didn't know what had happened. They just tried to watch the wind and guard the doors and windows. A strange man appeared in the Miss yard, and it was said that something was going to happen.

Jiang Li closed the window and covered the wind and snow outside the window. Her heart beat fast.

If everything goes well, if Zhao Ke can leave, soon, at most ten days later, she can see Begonia.

Her former sister.

……

In the government house, soon, Wen Ji got the news from Zhao Ke and told Ji He the matter word for word.

Lu Ji was in Ji Chen's study, discussing things with Ji Chen. Hearing the words, he said, "why doesn't Miss Jiang Er mention it here in the daytime, but blows a whistle when she goes back in the evening?"

"It is said that I got a letter at night and made a temporary decision." Wen Ji replied.

"Begonia..." Ji Xuan sat on the chair, his red robe reached the ground, and the dark lights lit up the gold thread at the corner of the robe, like an overflow of colorful, he put a finger on the stationery, seemingly unconsciously tapping, and said after a moment: "Zhao Ke stays in the Jiang family, Wenji, how many people do you pick and let people go to Zaohua village."

Wenji took orders and left.

After Wen Ji left, Lu Ji stroked his beard and said strangely, "what does this Begonia have to do with Miss Jiang er? If Tongxiang is still in Xiangyang at least, and the Ye family is also in Xiangyang, Miss Jiang Er can also have a relationship with Tongxiang, but Zaohua village... Is really irrelevant."

Besides, hearing the name, Lu Ji searched in his mind. He had never heard of it before. He thought it was a farm in a small town. Jiang Li's request, which is so serious, will certainly not be so simple. Speaking of it, it was the same last time in Tongxiang. Qiongzhi in xihualou also seemed to have nothing to do with Jiang Li, but Jiang Li learned about Xue Huaiyuan's situation only with qiongzhi's message.

It seems that she always knows something others don't know. In that case, the Begonia that Jiang Li keeps in mind may also be related to something important.

"You'll know when they arrive." Ji Jiman didn't care. Suddenly, he thought of something and asked, "is there anything happening over there?"

"Recently, the court officials have been interviewed frequently, and the spies have come to report and discuss the conspiracy. But the interior is divided into two factions, one advocates forcing the palace, and the other advocates slowly seeking it. There is a stalemate for a time."

"The stalemate won't last long." Ji Hong chuckled, "he's not so patient."

"If after the end of the new year, next year, at most one more year, Cheng Wang raised his case, will adults intervene..." Lu Ji asked. What he asked was not very clear. In fact, he followed Ji Heng for a long time, but sometimes what Ji Heng thought in his heart, and Lu Ji looked at the next layout vaguely.

"No, he can't win." The young man lazily played with the folding fan in his hand. When the folding fan was opened and closed, the colorful peonies were in full bloom one after another, reflecting his face more and more colorful. He smiled thoughtfully: "the little emperor waited for so many years, just wait for that day."

"I'll wait for that day, too." He looked out of the window. There was thick ink outside the window. He could hear the wind blowing. His amber eyes were also dark by the night, or maybe the mood in his eyes was darkened.

His voice is still gentle, but in the tenderness, there is a kind of bone cutting coldness.

"Wait for the snake to come out of the hole."

……

The next day, Jiang Li, who got the news of Zhao Ke, was finally relieved. Ji Xuan promised to send someone to pick up Haitang for her.

Last night's tossing and turning, I didn't sleep all night. Today, I finally feel like I'm taking off the burden. Jiang Li sat down at the stone table in the yard and watched the two little maids sweeping the snow.

She realized that since she went to Tongxiang, her relationship with Ji Heng had become a state of neither enemy nor friend. He kept asking for his life, so Jiang Li didn't worry too much when facing him. Now think about it, many things are done so smoothly only with the help of Tommy.

Whether it's Jiang yu'e or Xue Huaiyuan, Taoist Chongxu and the current Begonia, Ji Hong has a hand in every one of them. The person who didn't enter the play originally, but always accompanied her in the play. Jiang Li was not a person with a heart of stone. On the contrary, Xue Huaiyuan taught her to repay her kindness since childhood. She saw what Ji Heng had done, and her attitude was neither cold nor hot. She just wanted to protect herself. After all, the situation is too complicated now, and Ji Heng is not simple.

If you owe a favor, you must pay it back. For the time being, she didn't know what she could do to help Ji Heng with her meager strength. But thinking that if Ji Heng really had difficulties in the future, she would not hide. This has nothing to do with her life in Ji Heng's hands, just simple thanks.

If Yongning and shenyurong were punished, she would really have no regrets except Xue Huaiyuan.

In the Jiang mansion, while Jiang Li is relaxed, there is one person who is not so relaxed. This person is Jiang Youyao in Yao Guangzhu.

Since Ji shuran's death, Jiang Youyao's life has fallen from birth to the ground. The servants of the Jiang family didn't say whether they were steering in the wind, but the servants of the whole house knew what Ji shuran did that day. Naturally, they wouldn't have a good face for Ji shuran's daughter. Although she didn't neglect the etiquette on weekdays, Jiang Youyao clearly saw them looking at herself with deep eyes several times. She knew what the look was, a look of contempt and contempt.

Jiang Youyao was almost mad. She had a willful attack as before, and several servants who didn't look good were severely scolded by Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Yuanbai. In the past, Jiang Youyao was arrogant and self willed, and she was only regarded as an innocent young daughter. Now, with Ji shuran's example, people will inevitably combine Jiang Youyao's actions with Ji shuran's malicious nature. If Jiang Youyao also learned Ji shuran's malicious nature, her actions would not be willful.

For Jiang Youyao, it's because of Ji shuran's relationship between Jiang Yuanbai and old lady Jiang, they no longer love her or even dislike her. Everyone in the whole yuan family looked down on her. In fact, not to mention her, even old lady Jiang no longer spoiled Jiang Bingji and became strict - her offspring could not grow crooked from the root, and Ji was the best example.

Under such circumstances, Jiang Youyao lives like a year.

She once wrote a letter to the Ji family, hoping that Ji Yanlin would have someone take her back to the Ji family. Since the Jiang family doesn't like to see her, the Ji family can naturally help her. But she didn't reply the letter for a long time. Jiang Youyao suspected that the letter was stopped by the old lady. She can't do anything. There are rumors everywhere outside. It is also said that she is not Jiang Yuanbai's daughter, but the illegitimate son of Ji shuran and Liu Wencai. Pile by pile, making Jiang Youyao almost suffocate.

At this time, she even envied Jiang yu'e, who was a concubine of Zhou Yanbang, the Marquis of Ningyuan. Even if you are a concubine, you can marry your sweetheart. Zhou Yanbang is so gentle that he will be considerate of himself and comfort himself. Thinking of this, Jiang Youyao couldn't help hating Jiang Li. If Jiang Li and Jiang yu'e hadn't conspired at the beginning, how could she be robbed of the marriage by Jiang yu'e? It would have been her own! Jiang Li stole her favorite from the Jiang family, killed her mother, and let Jiang yu'e occupy the magpie's nest. She should die!

Looking at Jiang Youyao's face, the servant girl beside Jiang Youyao was also a little afraid. These days, Jiang Youyao's temperament has changed greatly, and she is prone to beating and scolding servants. Although the old lady and the old master ordered her, Jiang Youyao can still punish servants at will in her yard.

"I'm going out." The servant girl who was doing things carefully suddenly saw Jiang Youyao stand up from her chair and say such a sentence.

"Miss, it's not easy to go out of the house now..." Silver Flower reminded.

Jiang Youyao, in particular, was forbidden. Because there are rumors about Jiang Youyao and Ji shuran outside, if Jiang Youyao goes out, it will inevitably cause a storm of words. Unable to afford to hide, the Jiang family asked Jiang Youyao not to go out for the time being and stay in the house.

But in the eyes of Jiang Youyao, the yuan family did this simply because Ji shuran's anger was transferred to her.

"If you stay in this house again, you still don't know if you're destined." Jiang Youyao sneered and said, "now everyone doesn't pay attention to me. How can I remember that I'm the third miss of the Jiang family? If I stay in the house again, I will be like aunt Hu in those days, forgotten and become a waste in the future!"

Jinhua moved her lips. In fact, she thought it was only temporary now. As long as Jiang Youyao was clever, the master would still love her daughter. After all, those who have been raised around for so many years will not say that there is no emotion without emotion, and the master is soft hearted. As long as this period of time passes, Jiang Youyao will soon be able to return to the previous days.

But she didn't dare to say this. Jiang Youyao had his own idea and said everything for nothing. Maybe she will touch Jiang Youyao's pain, so she just asked, "where do you want to go?"

"Naturally, it's the Ji family." Jiang Youyao frowned, "now my letters have been stopped. My grandfather and they don't know that I suffer in the yuan family. As long as I escape from the house and go to the Ji family, I'll never come back. After all, the Ji family is no worse than the yuan family. My aunt is even more the empress of the palace. No one dares to bully me when my aunt is in charge for me. What's the anger here!"

Jinhua and Yinhua looked at each other. Jiang Youyao was spoiled by Ji shuran. She didn't know anything about anything outside. She always thought that people in the world would always revolve around her. As everyone knows, the Ji family now dare not even go to the Jiang family's door. How can Jiang Youyao stay in the Ji family forever.

"Miss, I'll wait a few more days. These days, the concierge in the house is too strict. I'm afraid I can't find an opportunity." Jinhua advised.

"It won't be long before the new year's pass. The new year's pass government always has to buy, and there are many things to do. Then it will be my opportunity." She glanced at her two servant girls coldly again: "don't have any other thoughts, you two. Your deed of betrayal is still in my hand. If it doesn't succeed, it's leaked..." her eyes flashed in a vicious way, which was exactly the same as Ji shuran.

The two servant girls couldn't help shivering in their hearts, hurriedly knelt down to show their loyalty, and dared not say anything.

……

After the winter solstice, less than a month later, it is the new year.

Even if too many things have happened to the Jiang family in the past six months, and even people have died, the official career of the two brothers Jiang Yuanbai is not very smooth, and the Jiang family is also treated as a joke outside, but this year, it is still going to pass.

Up and down the house, unconsciously began to get busy. The pearls and emeralds of Wanfeng hall came several times and asked Jiang Li when to go out to pick jewelry in the jewelry store. Jiang Li has no special love for jewelry and doesn't want to go again after she has been there once. Old lady Jiang asked a tailor to come to fangfeiyuan to cut clothes for Jiang Li to make new clothes. Jiang Li Xiaode wanted to compensate her.

Speaking of cutting clothes, there was another time during this period when Mr. Jiang took her to a banquet, a family dinner for the official family. Jiang Li wore the clothes made of Tao Shuiwen, which was newly released by the Ye family. At that time, she attracted the attention of a group of expensive ladies, who took her to ask where to buy the clothes. Jiang Li took advantage of the situation to say the name of the Ye family in Xiangyang. Not long after this, ye Mingyu received a letter from Xiangyang, saying that the current supply of Tao Shuiwen of the Ye family was in short supply, and many garment shops in Yanjing city came to order materials. Ye's textile factory is almost working day and night these days.

When hearing Ye Mingyu talk about it, Jiang Li was very happy. At least the antique satins of the Ye family have declined, and the rising of Tao Shui Wen, the difficulties of the Ye family are over. Mrs. Ye's body is gradually getting better, and everything is developing in a good way. Even Xue Huaiyuan became more and more energetic day by day under the treatment of situ September. Now he can recognize people and call their names.

This year, it seems that it is not difficult to endure. It seems that many things can be solved without any difficulties.

On the 15th day after the winter solstice, Begonia came back.

Zhao Ke stood in front of Jiang Li's window and said, "now people are in the government house. I'm afraid it will attract attention in the Jiang family. There is someone watching at the door of the Ye family. The second Miss wants to see Haitang. The adult said that she can go to the government house."

Jiang Li: "... I'm afraid it will attract attention."

"It doesn't matter, the adult said, the second Miss wants to go, and no one will find out before midnight." Zhao Ke said simply, but Jiang Li had a headache.

"How can I get out late at night?" Jiang Li asked, hoping that the people in front of him could consider some practical problems. She is the young lady of the Shoufu family. How can she go out in the middle of the night or go to the government. Unless she has lightness skills like Ye Mingyu, is masked, and can't trace, that's good.

"Don't worry about this second young lady. Everything is arranged by her subordinates." Zhao Ke is very confident.

Jiang Li looked at Zhao Ke carefully for a while. Zhao Ke looked a little embarrassed and bowed his head. Only then did she determine that the bodyguard in front of him was not joking and really proposed such a solution. She still wanted to struggle, so she asked, "can't there be any other way? In fact, we can meet in the restaurant on the street."

"The person the second lady is looking for is very distrustful of others, and even now, she remains vigilant against us." Zhao Ke replied, "if we hadn't subdued her, she would run away."

"You subdued her?" Jiang Li was surprised, "didn't you tell her that the person looking for her wouldn't hurt her, but came to help her?"

"Yes." Zhao Ke shrugged, "but she didn't believe it."

Jiang Li's heart gradually sank. Haitang was so alert to others that he refused to believe anything. It can be seen that something really happened. At least what happened will make it so. Now, she can't care about anything else. The top priority is to see Haitang first, comfort her, and figure out what happened after she and Du Juan ran out after her death.

Jiang Li said, "well, I'll go to the government tonight. I don't know if it's convenient for the government?"

Zhao Ke raised his head in surprise and agreed so soon? He thought that Miss Jiang Er would have to struggle for a long time before agreeing. After all, it was still late at night when a young lady went to the mansion of a strange man, and everyone would struggle to change

Once. But it's not right to think about it. After all, adults are Duke su. Which woman in Beiyan doesn't like Duke Su is really in case something might happen, Miss Jiang Er won't lose, and even made a profit.

In this way, the surprise in Zhao Ke's eyes faded cleanly in an instant, with a clear face and said, "OK, I'll report it to you now."

Jiang Li nodded.

Zhao Ke left, Jiang Li saw him leave, didn't close the window, just looked at the vast expanse of white outside the window, and she didn't know whether she was happy or sad.

I'm glad that the Begonia is still there. Now I'm going to meet my old friend at first sight. Sadly, times have changed, things have changed, and Haitang can't recognize her, and she can't recognize Haitang rashly. Each other has suffered a great blow, and they are no longer the carefree girls of that year.

Tong'er stood beside Jiang Li and asked in a low voice, "is the girl going to the government tonight?"

Jiang Li looked at tong'er. She said, "I'm going to the government house and I'm very close to Ji Heng. What do you think? Or," she looked at Bai Xue again: "what do you think?"

This is the first time she has talked with the two servant girls so seriously. For tong'er and Bai Xue, what Jiang Li did, many times they don't understand why. Even tong'er, who grew up with Jiang Li since childhood, was confused about Jiang Li's inexplicable emergence of many related people.

Tong'er stammered, "what, what? Don't you want slaves, girls?" Her eyes were red, as if she were going to cry the next moment.

Jiang Li was stunned. On the contrary, she was made to laugh and cry by tong'er, so she stretched out her hand to close the window. Qingfengmingyue was guarding the door outside. She sat down in the chair, sighed, and said, "I think you can see that these days after me, my side is not peaceful, even full of danger. What I want to do may offend the dignitaries in Yanjing City, and maybe it's hard to protect myself." After a pause, she said, "you are the closest person around me. I don't want to deceive you. I can only tell you that what I want to do in the future may be more shocking. Compared with it, going to the government late at night is a trivial matter. Can you accept it?"

Snow White thought for a while and asked, "what if you don't accept it?"

Tong'er hurriedly pulled Bai Xue's sleeve, but Bai Xue was not moved. She was such a straightforward person. One said one and two said two, which seemed to be really confused about Jiang Li's answer.

"If you don't accept it, you can't stay by my side, not only because you're afraid of hurting you, but also because you can't help." Jiang Li was very calm, but her calm did not make people feel uncomfortable or selfish. Instead, she felt that what she said was sincere. She said, "I hope people around me can help, even if it's just a small favor. After all, there are too many dangers to face in the future, and I don't want to lose now. As for what I can repay you..." she thought, "Money and property, of course, is not a problem, but important things, I will sincerely treat you."

The most rare thing in the world is sincerity.

Tong'er bit her lip, and there was a cry in her voice. She stepped forward and said, "girl, no matter what you want to do, slaves have followed you since childhood. If you don't want slaves, slaves have nowhere to go. Girl is in danger in the future, tong'er will save the master if she gives up her life. This is the way of master and servant... Slaves will always follow you!"

Jiang Li didn't have time to speak, so she heard Bai Xue also say, "so are slaves." She is clumsy and inarticulate, and she doesn't talk much, but her four words are sonorous and powerful, and she can hear her determination.

Jiang Li looked at the two girls and felt a little distressed and moved in her heart. Haitang reminded her that what she did was dangerous and would affect people around her at any time. Without the knowledge of the people around him, just like Xue Fangfei in those days, Princess Yongning seized the opportunity to harm Xue Zhao and Xue Huaiyuan. Although tong'er and Bai Xue cannot understand why she did this, they must know what they are facing.

If they can't bear such consequences, they should leave as soon as possible and don't get involved in the whirlpool of right and wrong.

And they all chose to stay.

"Girl, no matter what you face, you will never be alone." White snow path.

Jiang Li smiled, "yes." She has two loyal servant girls and the love of the Ye family. Although Jiang Yuanbai and Jiang Laofu are selfish, they feel guilty for her in the end. Now the traces belonging to Xue Fangfei have been erased, but those belonging to Jiang Li are being found one by one.

After talking with tong'er Bai Xue, she finally calmed tong'er down. Next, Jiang Li didn't do much. As usual, she looked at writing in the yard, or drank tea and listened to the servant girls chatting, and waited attentively for the night to fall.

At night, the noise of people could no longer be heard everywhere in Yanjing city. When the wind was low, a lamp in the yard of Jiang Li was still burning a weak light. When the maid came to urge it for several times, the lamp in the yard also went out. It should be that the master fell asleep.

But in fact, Jiang Li didn't fall asleep. She sat upright in front of her desk. There was no moon in the sky, only thick clouds. The only light was a lantern hanging on a tree in the yard. The lantern shines on the ground, shining the snow white. Everything is quiet, and the whole yuan family has no sound.

I don't know how long it took, when Jiang Li was almost dozing off, there was a sudden noise outside the window.

Someone is tapping on the window.

Jiang Li was stunned, thinking that it should be Zhao Ke. Subconsciously, she went to pull the window. She didn't expect the visitor to look this way, so Jiang Li opened the window over the desk and saw a gorgeous face.

Ji Hong is here.
