Three days later, in the morning, when the Yin family's children were going to visit the house, after Jiang Li got up, tong'er was busy dressing her up.
Since old lady Jiang and Lushi have instructed, Jiang Li also has to dress up carefully today. Fortunately, the colors of the new clothes sent by Lu Shi were not particularly bright. I probably know that Jiang Li doesn't like to wear particularly bright colors. They are all clear and light, which is very suitable for Jiang Li. Therefore, Jiang Li took a look and didn't feel anything. Tong'er picked a hairpin earring matching the color of her clothes and put it on Jiang Li. Looking at the girl in the mirror, she sighed, "girl, now, there is really no shadow of the past."
Jiang Li looked at the girl in the mirror. It was strange that she had seen the child when she just woke up from Miss Jiang er's body. Sallow and emaciated, extremely thin, but still a child. Now, it's only a year and a half, and the childishness of children has completely faded, showing the green and touching of girls.
In fact, she should thank God for returning to a young lady from Xue Fangfei. She has a chance to start over again, and it seems that there are infinite possibilities in the future. Just like Lu Shi and old lady Jiang's idea, what a girl like her should do in the future is to go on being beautiful in such a leisurely manner, find a lover, sing harmoniously, and live a rich life.
But in the end, she is not the real Miss Jiang Er, and she doesn't want to be confined to the same day after day forever.
Jiang Li stood up and went out to the yard. The flowers in the yard are all in bloom. Since tong'er returned to Fangfei garden, she has worked hard to sprinkle flower seeds around the yard. In autumn and winter, she still doesn't think that when spring comes, flowers are rushing to open. Where is the depression of Jiang Li just arrived in Jiang mansion.
"Girl, what's up? The maid has already said that our life will get better and better." Tong'er laughed.
Jiang Li also smiled, "naturally."
She also hopes to get better and better.
While talking, Mingyue came over and said, "girl, the emerald sister beside the old lady has just come. It is said that the prince's son and the Lord of Pingyang County have arrived at the door. Please hurry over."
"So early?" Tong'er mumbled.
If such a person of high status goes to other people's houses as a guest, he always comes late to appear dignified. Of course, for the king of Xia Jun, the Jiang family is not a family that can be treated slowly. If his children really want to put on airs in the yuan family, Jiang Yuanbai may not be able to accept it.
Jiang Li was not afraid of seeing him anyway. She said, "let's go."
When I arrived at the gate of Wanfeng hall, I didn't have time to walk in, but I saw that at the end of the garden, there was a boy with people coming in from outside. Look at this, it should be the guest. Therefore, Jiang Li didn't go in any more, but stopped in front of the door and looked at the people.
Naturally, the visitor is a pair of men and women, namely Yin Zhan's son. On that day, Jiang Li met the two outstanding brothers and sisters in the street. The prince's son was dressed in white and extremely elegant. His appearance was beautiful and gentle as jade, which made the little servant girls of the yuan family couldn't help looking at him secretly with a red face. He is also good-natured, smiling all the time, as if he can tolerate everything.
The woman walking beside him is the love of Yin Zhiqing, the Lord of Pingyang County. Yan Zhiqing wore a scarlet gold crane pattern skirt and a large sleeved smoky shirt today. Her appearance is bright and bright, and the bright colors just set off her charm, making people feel that her beauty is aggressive. Her eyes are big and beautiful, and she also likes to have a smile, but compared with the smile of the prince's son, her smile is a little bright, warm and extraordinary.
Jiang Li looked at the woman in red and inexplicably thought of Ji Heng. Somehow, Jiang Li felt that the Pingyang County Lord wore such a red dress today, perhaps because she liked such dazzling colors, perhaps... Because of Ji Heng.
The two men came to Jiang Li, and Yan Zhiqing's footsteps suddenly stopped. Looking at Jiang Li, he frowned at first, probably feeling that Jiang Li looked familiar, and then "eh", as if he remembered who Jiang Li was, and was surprised.
Yan Zhili also stopped, and his eyes showed surprise.
Jiang Li smiled and said, "I'm Jiang Li, the second daughter of the Jiang family. A few days ago, the county Lord saved my friend in the street. We met."
Yan Zhiqing suddenly said, "so you are the second Miss Jiang Li!" She turned to see Yin Zhili.
Yin Zhili was also stunned, suddenly smiled, and said, "so we have already met, it's really predestined. Second miss, I'm Yan Zhili. You already know my sister's name."
Jiang Li also smiled, "I've seen the son of God."
They were talking outside the door, and Lu's voice rang out from inside, "Xiao Li, why don't you come in? Is it the prince and the county Lord?"
"Let's go in and talk." Jiang Li is on his way.
Yin Zhiqing and Yin Zhili nodded.
They entered the Wanfeng hall, and everyone in the room actually arrived. Jiang Yuanbai and Jiang Yuanping were also there. Jiang Li noticed that there was no other person behind Yin Zhili and Yan Zhiqing, that is, their father, general Zhaode Yin Zhan, did not come. This makes people wonder, if Jiang Yuanbai wants to make friends with the Yin family, why does Yin Zhan not appear, but let his sons and daughters come to the door?
At that end, old lady Jiang and Yin Zhili's brother and sister had begun to talk.
Jiang Li originally thought that the Yan family that Ji Heng targeted was naturally not a good person. Although it looked good on the surface, it was probably deep-seated. She also met many people with different appearances, including Shen Yurong, Xiao Deyin, and even Zhou Yanbang. However, the speech and behavior of the brother and sister should not be pretended, but formed naturally after years of infection. Yan Zhili's attitude was gentle and polite, and Yan Zhiqing seemed to be infected with some generals, and he was frank, but he was still a smart girl. At least in the chat with Mrs. Jiang, I didn't say a word that I shouldn't say or divulge. Come and go, it's all family fun.
Even Jiang Jingrui, the overlord in the second room, and Jiang Jingyou, who is obsessed with the books of sages, are also listening to them.
Jiang Li sighed in her heart. Old lady Jiang was old, and sometimes she would be confused when she asked a question. She said a question twice, but Yin Zhili seemed to be unaware of it, and patiently explained it again, with no impatience on her face.
So Lu's face was more satisfied. Jiang Li thought, if it weren't for the fact that Er Fang didn't have a daughter, there were only two sons, Jiang Jingrui and Jiang Jingyou, I'm afraid Lu himself would like to let Yin Zhili be her son-in-law.
Jiang Yuanping was better, talking with a smile, but Jiang Yuanbai didn't talk much today. He had been looking at Yin Zhili, and occasionally seemed to be thinking about something. Jiang Li knew clearly in her heart that what tong'er said was also right. Today, it was clear that she had come to see her "beloved", and it was obvious that this beloved had made no mistakes at least at present. Everyone in the family seemed very satisfied, except Jiang Li himself.
Yan Zhili and Yan Zhiqing are half brothers and sisters. Tong'er has already tried hard to help Jiang Li find out these days. Yan Zhili's mother died when she gave birth to Yan Zhili. A few years later, Yan Zhili's second string gave birth to Yan Zhiqing again. However, although they are not siblings of the same mother, their relationship is good. Yin Zhan was probably not biased, and the later sequel was not such a person as Ji shuran, so the family was harmonious.
Of course, if people think worse, that sequel is not Yan Zhili's opponent at all, and was eaten by Yan Zhili, so it is not impossible to fail to find a chance to start.
After talking and laughing for a while, old lady Jiang suddenly said, "you are all young people, second wench, Jing Rui, Jiang you. You can walk in the yard with the Shizi and the county Lord and talk. We elderly people chat with you. I'm afraid you'll feel bored after a long time."
Although Yin Zhili and Yin Zhiqing said they didn't mean it, Lu strongly advised that several young people still went out.
Jiang Li smiled, didn't say anything, and followed out. Today, in the evening Phoenix hall, from beginning to end, she was very silent, almost not as much as Jiang Jingyou said. She knew what Mrs. Jiang meant, but she just wanted her to get along with Yin Zhili for a while, but it was strange for the men and women who had not been out of the cabinet to stay together, so this added Yin Zhiqing, brother Jiang Jingrui.
In the eyes of the yuan family, not to mention Yin Zhan, but Yin Zhili himself, is probably very satisfactory. Even Jiang Li had to admit that Yin Zhili was indeed a pleasant person. When she was in Tongxiang, Jiang Li thought that Shen Yurong was the most gentle and talented person, but really speaking, Shen Yurong was still too much behind Yin Zhili.
Yan Zhiqing walked in front, I don't know if it was because she looked too good-looking. Even people like Jiang Jingrui who never cared about "men's and women's affairs" couldn't help looking at her frequently and taking the initiative to talk to Yan Zhiqing. Yan Zhiqing was very cheerful. Walking, Jiang Li suddenly found that she and Yin Zhili were left behind alone.
She was stunned at first, and then realized that everyone present today probably knew what Mrs. Jiang was up to, and was changing things to give them a chance to get along. Brother Jiang Jingrui, needless to say, the Lord of Pingyang County seems to hope that they can succeed.
Without the noise, Jiang Li's heart calmed down, so she simply slowed down and walked slowly in the garden.
Walking beside Yin Zhili, she was not at ease at all, and even could almost act as if this person did not exist. People are like this. If there is someone in their heart, they can't see others in their eyes. Yin Zhili is very good, but in Jiang Li's eyes, what does that have to do with her?
She was so indifferent that she became calm and calm in the eyes of Yan Zhili.
The young girl was wearing a green damask skirt, a green brocade spring shirt, a red bean hairpin, and two small sapphires hanging from her ears. The deep and shallow green makes her especially bright among the colorful flowers.
Her side face is small and delicate, which is different from that of the official lady. She is not like nurturing and caring for the beautiful flowers in the flower bed, but like a special plant growing by the stream in the valley. Her graceful posture does not exist to please anyone, and she is moving and comfortable.
"After coming to Yanjing City, I have heard many rumors about Miss Jiang er." Yin Zhili suddenly spoke.
His voice was also gentle. Jiang Li asked, "what rumors?"
"There are many rumors about the second young lady, but what impresses me most is the story of the second young lady taking Tongxiang county people to Beijing to fight Shishi grievance shares and settle grievances for xuehuaiyuan in Tongxiang county." He laughed and said, "I was surprised to hear this. There are such women in the world who want to see them very much, so I posted a post with Jiang Shoufu." Speaking of this, he said shyly, "I know it's a little abrupt, but it doesn't mean anything else. I just think such a woman is worth making friends with."
He smiled again, "I thought such a woman was warm and frank, just like my sister's feelings. I thought it was also for Sashuang girl. I didn't think it was you I saw in the street that day. To be honest, the second miss was different from what I imagined, but in this way, I also understood why the people of Yanjing city said the second miss like that."
Hearing this, Jiang Li became curious: "how did the people of Yanjing city say about me?"
"It is said that the second young lady of the Shoufu family is pure and lovely, pure and kind as a snow-white lotus. At first, I didn't believe it," he said. "I always think the girl in their rumors is too weak, and how to do so many bloody things. Now it seems... People can't judge by appearances, but I'm shortsighted."
His speaking posture is very comfortable, not slow, and there is no intention of attack. Admiration is admiration, curiosity is curiosity, there is no trace of forgery, and there is no deliberate compliment.
Jiang Li said with a smile, "that's what the people said about me."
"Very similar to the second miss."
"What?"
"Qingling is cute, lotus." He said.
Such an admiration as the jade childe, I think no matter which woman hears it, she will blush shyly. However, Jiang Li heard it and felt that she was laughing in her heart.
So, Yin Zhili didn't know her after all, he only saw his surface. For example, Ji Heng has reminded me twice and again that she is really cunning and not as docile as she looks.
"I heard that the second young lady also got" just with some cleverness "in the six arts school examination of mingyitang As Jiang Li spoke, another son fell in a flash. If he said casually, "the prince also knows that King Cheng's soldiers have recently arrived outside the city and are ready to start a rebellion."
Yin Zhili gave a hand, and he didn't seem to expect Jiang Li to suddenly talk about it, but he still answered in a warm voice, "I know this. My father came back to Beijing this time to arrest the rebels."
"Can general Zhaode subdue the rebels?" Jiang Li asked.
What she said was really a little naive, as if she didn't know how many soldiers Cheng Wang had and how many soldiers general Zhaode had. For her, there is only one "win or lose" in war, and she doesn't understand anything else.
Yan Zhili smiled, "don't worry, second lady. With her father, the rebels won't enter the city."
"Then general Zhaode seems to be stronger than King Cheng?" Jiang Li asked.
Yin Zhili just dropped a white son, smelled the words, looked up at Jiang Li.
The girl didn't seem to notice the color of the person opposite. She just took the sunspot and seemed to be seriously thinking about where to put it. He casually said, "general Zhaode thought that he would not only protect the city, but also have to exterminate the rebels. Otherwise, King Cheng's people have been circling outside the city. In this long run, people outside the city can't enter the city, and people in the city can't leave the city. It's inconvenient for everyone. In case King Cheng simply attacks other cities, isn't it recorded in history books, and there have been rebels who attacked half of the country and established themselves as king?"
"The second young lady is right to think so." Yan Zhili lowered his head again, and followed Jiang Li's fall. He fell quickly, unlike Jiang Li, who had to think, as if he had already calculated every step of the way. He said, "sooner or later, the rebels will be eliminated, but once the war begins, it will be the people who suffer." At this point, a dull color flashed in his eyes.
Jiang Li took a panoramic view of his pain and was surprised. It was said that the prince's son was a kind-hearted and compassionate man. Now it seems that it doesn't seem to be a lie. As a superior person, even as a person of higher status, he can never put himself in the shoes of the people, nor can he experience human suffering. Yin Zhili was able to think that the people involved in the war were different from others.
Jiang Li said, "the war is also to protect more people. This has nothing to do with the son of God. The son of God doesn't have to blame himself too much."
Yin Zhili also smiled: "my father often said that I have the kindness of women, which is not a good thing. The second young lady laughed."
"It's not a disgrace to be kind and righteous. The son of God doesn't have to say so." Jiang Li smiled and said, "the son of God is very good."
"You always call me Shizi Shizi. It's too much. We met on the street before, played chess together, and finally became friends." Yin Zhili said in a warm voice, "don't call me the son of the world in the future."
Jiang Li was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "master Yin."
Although he is better than the son of the world, he is not familiar with it. However, fortunately, Yin Zhili was not a person who could advance by an inch. On the contrary, he seemed to be very satisfied with Jiang Li's title and stopped mentioning Fangcai's words.
The two played chess seriously.
When playing chess, there was no one around to disturb them, not even a servant girl who poured tea, but it happened to be extraordinarily quiet. It can be thought that at the beginning, it was Yin Zhili's white son who prevailed. It seemed that every time he drove Jiang Li's sunspot to the extreme, and Jiang Li's sunspot could always survive. When they got down to the middle, Jiang Li's sunspot slowly caught up and swallowed some Baizi. The two were equally matched. So Yan Zhili's originally extremely fast action slowed down, and even stopped to think for a while.
Until the end.
The black and white chessmen each occupied half the sky. Jiang Li dropped the last one, raised his head and said with a smile, "I won."
She has always been a faint smile. Although she is gentle and polite, she always feels covered with something. At the moment, her smile is sincere from the bottom of her heart. The girl smiled like a flower, her eyes were bright, and the sunlight fell on her through the branches, which was particularly touching.
Yin Zhili was also stunned.
Then, he looked forward to it, suddenly shook his head and smiled, laughing and saying, "I thought I was a person with a firm goal, but now it seems that Miss Jiang Er is."
What seems to be a random chess game, in fact, the purpose is the same from beginning to end. She walked carefully and cautiously, not as comprehensive as Yin Zhili, but it seemed to take a long time to lay a net. When the net was laid, naturally nothing could be harvested, but she was not in a hurry. She waited patiently and waited patiently until the net was paved, and the prey walked over and killed them all the way.
What a gentle knife.
"I can't tell whether the second young lady's chess style is gentle or sharp." Yin Zhili smiled bitterly, "however, the second young lady is very powerful, and I am willing to lose."
Gentle or sharp? In Jiang Li's mind, a person's figure came up, just as she always wanted to ask, is he affectionate or fickle?
Jiang Li smiled, "master Yin is also very powerful."
His character depends on his character. In Yin Zhili's chess style, he can be seen more or less. Although mild, he is never cowardly. It should be impossible for anyone to seek advantage from him or cheat him.
Her words were sincere, and Yin Zhili also smiled. When they were about to get up, Yan Zhiqing's voice came over, and she said, "I've been looking for you for a long time, so I hid here to play chess." She glanced at Jiang Li and said to Yin Zhili, "don't you always have your eyes above the top? I want to play chess with you, don't you want to?"
"Your chess skills are too bad," Yin Zhili said with a headache, "and always repent of playing chess, you'd better play with yourself."
Yan Zhiqing snorted, but did not care about his words.
Jiang Jingrui and Jiang Jingyou followed behind, saw them and said, "it's getting late. I'm afraid the banquet will start. Go outside first."
Jiang Li nodded.
It was natural for her to walk with everyone, but as she walked, she felt her sleeve pulled. Looking back, it was Yin Zhiqing.
Jiang Li looked at her suspiciously.
Yan Zhiqing didn't move. After Yan Zhili and brother Jiang Jingrui walked forward and drew some distance from her, Yan Zhiqing looked at Jiang Li and seemed to hesitate, but after all, he whispered, "Miss Jiang, I have something to ask you."
Jiang Li faintly guessed the question she might ask, and a strange feeling floated in her heart. However, her face was as usual, and she only said, "county Lord, please speak."
"That day, my brother and I met you on the street of Yanjing city. Beside you, there is a young man in red. Who is that young man?"
Jiang Li stared at her.
Yan Zhiqing seemed a little embarrassed, and her cheeks were slightly red. In this way, she was as beautiful as peaches and plums. When she saw Jiang Li, she didn't answer, slightly frowned, and asked again, "Miss Jiang er?"
"That's Lord Su today." Jiang Li answered.
"Duke Su?" Yan Zhiqing was stunned. She might not be very familiar with the officials in Yanjing City, as if she had heard such a person for the first time, but soon she said, "I don't mean anything else. What's the relationship between the Duke Su and Miss Jiang er?"
This is really a little more than asking. Jiang Li doesn't know whether it's because the folk custom in the cloud is open, and the county Lord is so straight, or she said it deliberately. Jiang Li thought for a moment, then said: "just know each other, a little contact."
"Are you on good terms?"
Jiang Li shook her head, "not too good."
As soon as this word came out, Jiang Li swore that she saw Yan Zhiqing's eyes lit up. Yan Zhiqing immediately raised the corners of her mouth. When she laughed, she was particularly good-looking, and compared the surrounding scenery. Jiang Li inexplicably felt a little dazzling.
"We will live in Yanjing city in the future." Yan Zhiqing smiled and pointed to Jiang Li, "my brother doesn't often play chess with people and doesn't often get along with women so well. It seems that he appreciates you very much."
One by one, they all implied something. Jiang Li couldn't help laughing in her heart, but she still smiled and said, "the son of God is very good. It's Jiang Li's honor to be appreciated by the son of God."
