Chapter 158

On the way back, tong'er almost couldn't help laughing on her face.

Jiang Li was helpless, "tong'er, take away the smile on your face."

"As long as I think of the tone of the man's voice just now, I always want to laugh." Tong'er said, "that man thought he had beaten the girl hard and was complacent. If he knew that he would sell the sweat BMW for 500 Liang silver to the girl, I don't know how much he would regret."

Jiang Li smiled: "this is the case in Dongshi. After the transaction, the silver goods are paid, and no one can go back on their words. If there is no eyesight, no one dares to buy things indiscriminately."

"Yes, yes, yes." Tong'er laughed and said, "our girls have golden eyes!"

She was so hearty that she didn't ask Jiang Li why she was convinced that the pony was a bloody BMW. As long as Jiang Li said yes, she believed it. How many people paid for shopping in Dongshi, especially those who went there for the first time. They didn't expect Jiang Li to go there for the first time and get such precious things.

"Dongshi is really a good place," tong'er smacked. "We'll go again if we have a chance in the future!"

The child, trying to play. Jiang Li shook her head.

"When you get back, brush the pony clean. You can't give it to general Ji badly." Jiang Li Dao.

"Save the slaves." Tong'er nodded, a little reluctant, "such a good horse..."

Jiang Li gently knocked her head: "so what? It only cost 500 liang of silver!"

"That's what I said." Tong'er laughed foolishly again.

When she returned to Jiang mansion, Jiang Li directly asked someone to take the pony back to Fangfei garden. The yard of Fangfei garden was large enough. She asked Bai Xue to take someone to wash the pony. As soon as she returned to the house, Qingfeng came to deliver the post and sent a message by the way. Jiang Yuanbai and old lady Jiang thought for a long time, and finally decided to let Jiang Li attend general Ji's birthday party.

It's exactly what Jiang Li thought.

She answered the post with a smile and let people go back to the Wanfeng hall to know for herself.

After a while, there was a sound of snow outside the yard. Let Jiang Li look over. Jiang Li walked out of the room and saw the servant girls gathered in the yard. In the middle, a light golden pony stood in the middle, proudly raising her head, majestic.

After washing the mud, the horse showed its own color, which turned out to be light gold. Its hair is extremely smooth and rich, but I don't know if it's because I didn't eat enough before, it doesn't look bright enough. Even so, this is a very handsome pony with a proud posture.

Tong'er looked at it and liked it very much. Zhao Ke, who was hiding in the dark, also saw this scene. He didn't see that the horse was a bloody BMW at a glance, but he could see that the horse was very good. Even in the stables of the government, it was also a very excellent horse. Since ancient times, heroes love Liangju. What he sees is also greedy. He wondered where Jiang Li found such a mount, but there were other horses left, so he could choose one.

Jiang Li walked to the pony. The pony glanced at her, and her eyes were still a little arrogant. Jiang Li reached out and touched its forehead, and the pony snorted softly.

The servant girls around laughed, and Bai Xue said, "girl, give it a name."

Jiang Li was about to speak. After thinking for a while, she shook her head and said, "well, this is a pony for general Ji. It's better for general Ji to name it himself."

"It's a boy!" White snow path.

"That would be better." Jiang Li touched the pony. "If it was a girl, wouldn't it be a tyrant to put it in the government house?"

Zhao Ke: "..."

What is a monster? Even the flowers and plants in their government are public, okay? It's time for more girls! Girls are outrageous when they are outside!

Everyone played with the pony for a while. It was getting late. Jiang Li asked people to look after the pony and went back to bed.

According to the post, general Ji's birthday is three days later. It suddenly occurred to her that she didn't know when Ji Heng's birthday was. It seems that I have never heard of his birthday party.

……

Soon, three days later.

This morning, it snowed lightly. Spring in Yanjing city comes very late. After the new year, it seems that this winter will go on for a long time. The snow is even bigger than that before the new year. The occasional sunshine has become a rarity.

Tong'er carefully selected clothes in the room. Seeing this, Jiang Li said, "just pick one at random."

"Isn't the girl going to the birthday party?" Tong'er laughed and said, "naturally, you have to choose a good-looking one."

"No need," answered Jiang Li. "There were no other ladies at the birthday party, and no one looked at them. On the contrary, it was in vain."

"That's not necessarily," tong'er shook his head. "Even so, general Ji and his highness Duke Su are also men. If the girl looks better, they will definitely appreciate the girl more."

Tong'er was naive. She just thought that as long as Jiang Li looked good, but it also showed that even tong'er was not alert to the people in the government. Ji Heng and old general Ji are not enemies worthy of vigilance in tong'er's heart.

Jiang Li thought for a while and smiled, "then you can choose."

It took a lot of time to choose clothes. Tong'er looked for jewelry to match Jiang Li for a long time. When all this is ready, it's time to go out. Snow White brought the sweat blood pony from the yard.

I don't know if it's Jiang Li's illusion. Pony's hair color is much brighter than when she bought it from Dongshi three days ago. It is also natural that people who buy horses just sell them and eat inferior food. After returning to Jiang's house, Jiang Li ordered the horse feeders to match the food and feed them on time all day. Eat well, the horse's light golden hair is more beautiful. Even if there is no sun today, standing in the yard, his whole body is like a light golden silk, emitting a bright luster.

What surprised Jiang Li most was that a small red cloth flower was pinned to the horse's ear by someone.

Jiang Li: "... What's the matter with this flower?"

Bai Xue said, "since this horse was given to the old general as a gift, the maid originally wanted to go to the warehouse to pick up a beautiful collar for the pony to wear. But the horse refused to wear it anyway. After wearing it, she always wanted to get it off. The maid had to take off the collar and think about it. It was better to find a flower to wear it, which looked like a gift."

Jiang Li couldn't laugh or cry.

The horse of a bloody BMW was originally arrogant, which was difficult for ordinary people to tame. Even when he was young, he didn't like to wear things like collars that bound people. But Snow White can even think of giving it another flower, which is really

The light golden pony was like a defeated rooster. It leaned down on its head dejectedly and didn't look at Jiang Li. I didn't know if it was because the flower in its ear was sulking. Jiang Li wanted to take it, but tong'er was already urging, "girl, people said that the carriage was waiting outside. Let's go out quickly."

Jiang Li said, "OK, come on." He temporarily forgot the flowers on the horse's head.

When I left the yard and walked outside the house, I met a rare person on the way.

Yang in the third room was walking to the house with Jiang Yuyan. Yang was still holding a silk handkerchief in his hand. Jiang Li glanced at it. It seemed that the silk handkerchief was not ordinary material, and the workmanship should not be that of an ordinary embroidery workshop. Jiang Yuyan saw her from a distance, so she slowed down her pace. When Jiang Li came in front of her, she said, "second sister."

"It's Ali." Yang Shi also saw her, and a not very warm smile appeared on her face, "where are you going in a hurry?"

Jiang Li calmly withdrew her eyes from Yang's silk handkerchief and said with a smile, "three aunts and four sisters." She was trying to find an excuse to pass by. Suddenly, an idea came to her mind, and she immediately laughed and said, "it's going to the government house for a banquet."

"The government?" Before Jiang Yuyan could say anything, Yang Shi first asked in surprise, "which government?"

"It's the Suguo mansion."

"Suguo mansion?" Yang Shi was stunned. "I haven't heard the post sent by the Duke of the state of Su in the mansion." She looked at Jiang Li with a sour tone, "the old lady didn't tell us about it." There are many banquet posts in the government. Unless it is absolutely necessary, Sanfang will not participate. Yang did not complain less about this matter, although Jiang Yuanxing was not born to old lady Jiang, at least his surname was Jiang. A family is so divided. Besides, it's cheaper to promote their own people than outsiders, isn't it? But Mr. Yuan insisted on putting on a look of life, and with generosity and ER Fang, he also wanted to make a style of being superior and not paying attention to San Fang.

"It is said that Duke Su is not a close person," Yang continued to look at him unintentionally. "When did he get better with our family? Was he close to the eldest brother?"

Jiang Li looked at her quietly. Her lips were smiling and her eyes were gentle, but she didn't say a word. After a long time, Yang Shi was also a little hairy by her eyes, so she asked, "ah Li, what are you doing with people like this?"

"I'm just thinking about how to answer the third aunt's words," Jiang Li said with a smile. "My father is not very familiar with the Duke of the state of Su. In fact, the post of the Duke of the state of Su was only given to me. Even my father and the old lady didn't receive the invitation, so it's natural that the third aunt and the fourth sister didn't receive the post. I'm the only one in the whole family who will go to the banquet."

At this moment, Yang Shi was really stunned, and Jiang Yuyan was also puzzled. Yang stammered, "what's going on here? How can the old lady rest assured that you go to the banquet with a girl? Besides, it doesn't make sense..."

"It's not," Jiang Li frowned lightly, as if she was very distressed. "But everyone in Yanjing knew the temperament of the Duke of Su. Even if I was the daughter of my father, I didn't dare to refuse the post of the Duke. I had to bite the bullet and go. Although I didn't know what the dragon's pool and tiger's den was from the front to the bottom, I had to take the overall situation into account for the sake of the yuan family."

Her words were half true and half false. It seemed that there was a sound beyond her words. Yang's eyelids jumped and he couldn't help raising his head and looking at Jiang Li. However, seeing Jiang Li's sincere expression, it seemed as if she had found a close relative to tell her recent troubles. There was no trace of Chengfu, and she didn't understand it.

Yang tentatively said, "but why did the government invite you alone? Could it be..." she took a step closer, "you're old enough to talk about marriage..." Yang also seemed to feel that it was inappropriate for him to talk to Jiang Li like this, and as soon as he said it, he quickly stopped.

Jiang Li lowered her head and said, "well, I don't know..."

This appearance is obviously very coquettish.

This is a miracle. Since Jiang Li returned to Yanjing city from Qingcheng Mountain, the Jiang family has more of her gentle, calm, and even cool to indifferent appearance, so this coyness and unnaturalness is particularly obvious.

Jiang Yuyan also stared at Jiang Li straight and didn't speak.

Jiang Li raised her head and was looking at Yang's eyes. For a moment, she seemed a little flustered and hurriedly said, "I'm almost too late now, so I won't talk to my third aunt in detail and go first." She leaned over and left Yang's and Jiang YuYan's side, as if in a panic, hurriedly ran away and couldn't wait.

Jiang Li's figure soon disappeared. Jiang Yuyan stood there. After a while, she whispered, "Mom, was the second sister lying just now?"

Yang Shi didn't speak, but frowned. After a while, he said, "although she doesn't tell a lie, there must be a problem if the government invites her alone!"

At the other end, Jiang Li was walking to the door of the mansion, and tonger helped her into the carriage.

Her coyness, coyness and unnaturalness have long disappeared, and her gentle and calm face has been replaced. Sitting in the carriage, she couldn't help laughing at the thought of her appearance just now. I don't know when, she has also become a person who can enter the play at any time, accurately controlling her joys and sorrows, and giving others what others want to see.

She had long felt that Sanfang was a little strange. The clothes of Jiang Yuyan and Yang Shi in Sanfang were much more extravagant than before. However, Jiang Yuanxing didn't get promoted, and Sanfang didn't do other small businesses. The improvement of Sanfang's life is too obvious. A large amount of silver must be needed.

Moreover, since Jiang yu'e married, Sanfang seemed not to mind the estrangement from the big room and the second room, and Jiang Yuanxing was even unwilling to pretend to be brother and sister Gong.

And the scandal of Ji shuran and Liu Wencai suddenly spread all over Yanjing city overnight. Jiang Yuanbai checked all the servants of the Jiang family and found no suspicious person. For a long time, many people believed that Jiang Li did it in order to revenge Ji shuran. However, Jiang Li knows whether to do it or not. Later, Jiang Li thought that in addition to the servants, the people from Sanfang were also present that day. If anyone in the Jiang family is divorced from the second room of the big room, is the third room absolutely the same?

Is Sanfang the traitor of the Jiang family? Jiang Li couldn't find any evidence until she saw Yang. She suddenly thought that she could try it with this matter.

Her shyness and coyness will mislead Yang. If Yang misunderstands something and tells someone about it, it will almost prove that Yang is in trouble.

The carriage set out. Jiang Li sat in it and looked at his fingertips.

I hope my suspicion is wrong.

But if it's right, it doesn't matter. It's just a poisonous tooth hidden in the Jiang mansion. After pulling it out, it's nothing.

……

At the gate of the government house, Zhao Ke is squatting in the yard and talking to Wen Ji.

He went out last night and had something to do. He returned to the government early this morning to recover his life, so he didn't go back to the Jiang family.

In the room inside, situ September was busy. When she got free, she made some new poisons. Haitang stood next to her and handed her the materials she needed from time to time.

Since Haitang's face was healed, she had nothing to do in the government, but she couldn't find anything to do. She simply became the servant of situ September. When situ was refining medicine in September, Begonia hit on one side.

Zhao Ke looked at the two people in the room, shook his head and sighed, "a good girl, why did she follow Miss situ?"

Is situ September beautiful? Naturally beautiful, her appearance can even rank in the top ten among women in Yanjing city. But it's too fierce. If you don't agree with her, you'll poison others. How dare others get close to her. And Haitang, among other things, the bodyguards of the government still admire her. Situ Jiujiu used the poison spider method of fighting poison with poison to cure the wound on Haitang's face. The people of the government knew the danger and pain of the poison spider. Begonia willing to accept it is already unexpected, she can endure, it is unexpected.

A girl's family can be so tough and brave that the bodyguards of the government all admire her. Some people are even very happy and go to confess to Haitang.

It's a pity that this beautiful girl, who has restored her original appearance, is very indifferent in her bones. She resolutely refused all the bodyguards who expressed love with her, and only said that she would not marry in this life. Everyone knew about Shen Yurong and Princess Yongning of the Shen family. They guessed that Haitang gave up eating because of choking because he saw through the man's hypocritical face, and secretly cursed Shen Yurong.

Wen Ji said, "don't talk nonsense. Go to the door quickly. Calculate the time. Miss Jiang Er is coming."

Zhao Ke spit out the grass in his mouth, "I'm not her subordinate, so I'm in charge of everything. If the Lord really likes her, why don't you just marry her back to your house?"

"Like! Like!" A burst of shouting came, scared Zhao Ke out of his wits. Looking up, Xiao Hong stood on the branch, staring at him like a mockery. The black and bright feathers were particularly prominent, saying, "like! Like!"

"Aunt, stop shouting." Zhao Ke wanted to cover his mouth, "if adults know I'm talking nonsense behind my back, they have to peel my skin, shut up!"

Xiao Hong screamed more vigorously, and her voice was loud. She fought with veteran Ji's army.

Zhao Ke had no choice but to wait for this broken bird to scream, he had to attract the whole people of the government. Thinking of the picture of Ji Chen smiling and asking himself what he said, Zhao Ke couldn't help but fight a cold war and said to Wen Ji, "then what, just look at it here, and I'll pick up Miss Jiang ER right away... Goodbye!" The sole of the foot slipped with oil.

Wen Ji took a deep breath, looked at Xiao Hong standing triumphantly on the tree, turned his head and left.

……

Jiang Li's carriage stopped at the gate of the government house.

The welcome boy saw Jiang Li, smiling more and more warmly. In a trance, Jiang Li felt that he was almost able to catch up with Ye Mingyu's boy. She let someone hold the pale gold pony, and the porter's boy was stunned and said, "Miss Jiang, this..."

"A birthday gift for general Ji," Jiang Li smiled, "just follow me into the house."

The boy was silly for a while and said, "Oh, good."

This young lady of the Jiang family is really different from ordinary people. No wonder adults are special to her.

Jiang Li and the person who led the way went to the government house. When they came to the flower garden, they saw a tall figure dancing a sword in an open space in front of the flower garden. Swordsmanship is excellent. I can only see the silver light shuttle like a dragon, and my body is vigorous. When I look at it again, I see that the person wearing a white cloth jacket with a red belt around his waist is not just general Ji. Who is it?

Judging from his sword technique, he can really see his former heroic posture. I just don't know if it's too hard. The sword Qi immediately took up many petals in the flower bed, and the petals fell down in droves. If you ignore old general Ji and stand in the flower rain and dance the sword, it's really a pleasing thing.

It's just that Jiang Li vaguely remembers that the flowers in this flower garden are carefully transplanted and maintained by Ji Hu at a high price. The government is very big, and it is not only this open space, but general Ji is practicing his sword here, which can be said to be very willful.

She stood quietly beside the flower bed. I don't know how long she waited. After general Ji finished dancing his sword, a young boy came up and said something in front of him, which should be to inform Jiang Li of his arrival. Old general Ji immediately turned around and came to Jiang Li with great strides.

"Old general." Jiang Li saluted him.

"Here you are." General Ji's expression was neither happy nor unhappy, but there was still some happiness after all. He said, "today is my birthday. I like the venison you roasted in the house last time, so I specially invite you to come today. You don't have to do it this time."

Jiang Li smiled reluctantly, "thank you, veteran general." She is not a servant of the government. Why should she come to the government to fulfill others' wishes when she has nothing to do?

General Ji's eyes coagulated and suddenly said, "good horse!" Step by step, walk behind Jiang Li.

Bai Xue is holding the pale golden pony. Jiang Li told Bai Xue not to put the pony near the flower bed. The flowers in the flower bed are poisonous. In case the pony is poisoned, something will happen.

"This is..." the old general walked to the pony, frowned slightly, and reached out to pet the pony's hair. The pony snorted, shook its head slightly, and kicked its front hoof.

"This is a birthday gift for the old general. I hope the old general doesn't dislike it." Jiang Li smiled slightly.

Dislike? How is that possible? At least from the appearance of old general Ji now, I can't see the word "dislike". I saw that his mouth was almost to his ears, and his face was smiling. It is the first time since Jiang Li met the old general that he has obviously shown such a happy appearance. He touched the pony's mane again, and his action was also cautious. He suddenly looked at Jiang Li and hesitated to ask any questions.

Jiang Li guessed what he wanted to ask and said, "it's a bloody BMW."

"Ouch!" The old general patted his thigh, "I said! This horse is a bloody BMW." Being affirmed by Jiang Li, his smile was more obvious, and he circled around the pony. It was like a lecherous man seeing a peerless beauty, and a greedy man seeing ten thousand liang of gold, and he couldn't put it down.

"I haven't seen a bloody BMW for many years. I want to say that my mount chasing the wind was also a good horse. Unfortunately, I was shot dead by the enemy when I was fighting with me. Later, I raised lightning and stayed with me until I finally died. It's a pity that I haven't been on the battlefield for many years. How can horses in the capital fight? With less blood, this horse is different. It looks different in my bones." As he spoke, he became sad again. "It's a pity that such a good horse can't go to the battlefield or walk around with the man who is going to bury half his body with me."

Since ancient times, famous generals are like beauties, and white heads are not allowed in the world. General dusk is as sad as beauty dusk.

However, Jiang Li's heart was completely calm. Although old general Ji sighed like this, he danced his sword in the flower bed in winter and went hunting for roast venison. He really didn't look like a person who "half of his body was buried".

Just saying this, there was another scream from a distance, mixed with people's footsteps. Jiang Li looked back and saw that Wen Renyao, Lu Ji and Kong Liu were coming from a distance. The last person to walk is naturally Ji Heng. I think the four of them were just together.

Kong Liu walked the fastest, his eyes fell on the pony, and he couldn't move his eyes. After approaching, he touched and looked again, causing the pony to hum impatiently.

"Old man, where did you get this good horse? It looks extraordinary!"

General Ji said proudly, "don't be greedy, sweat BMW. This is a birthday gift from girl Jiang to me. It's not your boy's share!"

Hearing that it was a bloody BMW, Lu Ji and Wen Renyao were surprised. Kong Liu looked at Jiang Li dumbly and said, "a bloody BMW?"

Yanjing city once produced a bloody BMW, which was also a gift from the surrounding small countries to the former Emperor. It was kept in the palace and served delicious. In addition, it was only heard in other people's rumors. Kong Liu was not stupid. After hearing what general Ji said, he took a closer look and knew that this was not a lie.

"My darling," Kong Liu couldn't help saying, "this is really eye watering." He looked at Jiang Li, "Miss Jiang Er is too big. Is this... What does Jiang Yuanfu mean?"

A BMW worth ten thousand taels of gold is not too much. Is Jiang Yuanbai such a generous person? The Jiang family had no contact with the government. It was impossible for Jiang Li to answer the post. The Jiang family still hesitated for a long time. But if Jiang Li had his own idea, even if Jiang Li was well-off, it seemed impossible for the Ye family to give Jiang Li such a generous gift.

"My father didn't know what gift I gave him. He thought it was just an ordinary tonic." Jiang Li smiled, "but Lord Kong doesn't have to praise it. This horse is not expensive. I still have the silver for the old general's horse."

She looked calm, not fake, as if she was still a little happy. Everyone around her was stunned, which was really weighty.

Ji Xuan's eyes narrowed, "geometry?"

"Not much, five hundred taels of silver." Jiang Li said with a smile.
