Chapter 169 (1/2)
It's getting colder and colder.
It rained all night, and the air was fresh the next day. Angelica pushed open the window, the branches in front of the window still have the rain beads left by yesterday's night rain, crystal clear, hit xuan'er, fall to the bottom of the soil. The house was filled with the fragrance of the soil after the rain.
Jiang Ruan combed and ate early. When he let go to the window, the dew hurried into the room, put the Rose Crisp tea on the table, blinked and looked at Jiang Ruan. Suddenly, he whispered, ”girl, the eldest lady is gone.”
Jiang Ruan let out a ”grace” and sat down on the chair by the window. The Rose Crisp brought back by the dew looks very delicious. It emits a little pink. In the morning sun, it looks more and more moist and lovely. She slowly twist up a piece, white fingertips with dim sum, then show a little unique charming.
Dewdrop continued: ”the second lady is gone, and the fifth aunt is gone.”
Three people died in succession, but Jiang Ruan's expression did not change at all, as if he had expected the end. It seems that the eyes also flash a trace of boredom, but this look is too short, no one noticed.
”The spies under the Lord saw it with their own eyes,” Lu Zhu said anxiously. ”It was the second young master who took the men to find the second young lady, but somehow killed the second young lady. After returning to the house, she told the Lord that the second young lady had been taken away by mountain bandits and killed herself. As for the fifth aunt, she died by herself. ” Dewdrop thought: ”the eldest lady is a little strange. It is said that the second young master went to visit his wife in Chuang Tzu last night. In the middle of the night, he was found that a white silk had committed suicide. But for the time being, the master won't let us know. I don't know why
Jiang Ruan said faintly: ”it's not surprising that there are three people dead when they come to the mansion. The red tassel is nothing but an aunt. The sudden death of Jiang Fu's second daughter and his wife will inevitably lead to speculation. Now Jiang Fu has been rumored in Beijing. My father is so cautious that he will not add fuel to the fire at this time. ”
Dew suddenly realized: ”so it is. But why did the eldest lady commit suicide? And the second young master, in order to get rid of the second young lady, killed her. It's too much. ”
There was a trace of irony in Jiang Ruan's eyes, and his tone was chilling: ”he didn't do it to let Jiang Su Su get rid of him as soon as possible. He just didn't want Jiang Su Su to become a stumbling block in his official career. If Jiang Su Su lives for a day, he may become the evidence that he is criticized by others in the future. My second brother wants to climb up, and of course he will destroy the evidence himself. ”
The dew took a cool breath. She didn't expect so much. Because no matter how Jiang Chao and his sister treat Jiang Ruan, they always stand on the United Front, and their feelings are not fake. Who knows, it is really terrible that Jiang Chao can abandon his sister for his own selfish desire.
Although dewdrop was born in the market and had a wider knowledge than Angelica dahurica and forsythia, she was originally kind-hearted. She couldn't think of these dark things. She always held the view that human nature was originally good. Jiang Ruan is different. To a certain extent, she is extremely suspicious of human nature. She firmly believes that human nature is evil. Things that are hard to be considered by others come to her naturally.
She continued: ”as for the death of my wife, it was only provoked by my second brother. The second elder brother is also broken now, he is so regardless of the back road, obviously want to let go. I'm afraid it's going to be a big deal soon. ”
Lu Zhu was shocked when she heard Jiang Ruan's words and said, ”are they going to deal with the girl?”
”I'm afraid they don't move.” Jiang Ruan smile, but the smile in the eyes of dew is a little chilly, she said: ”I also want to see, this one, who is the winner.”
Dewdrop didn't speak. A moment later, she suddenly thought of something and said, ”girl, listen to Jin Er. In ten days, Lord Xiao will go to war.”
Jiang Ruan slightly meal, eyes down, ten days, so fast?
……
Xiao Shao is reading a book in his study. The military situation from the frontier is full of crises. Just looking at it makes people feel the tension of the situation. Jiang Xinzhi's whereabouts are unknown, Guan Lianghan is injured again, and the morale of the army is low. For some reason, piantianjin's team has changed its tactics many times, and hit unexpectedly. If it goes on like this, all the remaining troops will be destroyed.
On his left hand side is a map of marching array. Even if he is thousands of miles away, he has to control the whole situation. All the people in the world know the king of Jinying as a young hero. He is in charge of 300000 royal guards, but no one has ever seen his wisdom in strategizing. It will take more than a month to come and go from the capital to the border. Now we can only write down the defense methods for the time being, send them to the border, hold on for the time being, and kill the enemy when he comes to the battlefield.
There was no sound in the room, and all the royal guards retreated. He had not closed his eyes all night and studied the enemy's movements carefully. Up to now, he had nothing to eat.
The door was suddenly pushed open. Xiao Shao frowned. He smelled the aroma of food at the tip of his nose, but he was stunned when he saw the visitor. Jiang Ruan came by himself with snacks and porridge.
These days, although she lives in Jinying palace, they abide by the etiquette and never do anything beyond it. What's more, Xiao Shaoping never sees the end of the day. He runs outside in the daytime. When he comes back at night, he also studies military tactics. They seldom meet each other. Jiang Ruan was even more cold-blooded. He lived a comfortable life in King Jinying's mansion, but he didn't want to go out of the courtyard.Don't want to now Jiang Ruan personally came, Xiao Shaowei Zheng between, Jiang Ruan has come to him, dim sum and porridge down, said: ”the kitchen made sweet scented osmanthus cake and chicken porridge, not too sweet, I tasted, taste very good.” She did all this very naturally, as if she had done it thousands of times. Xiao Shao took a look at her and did not move.
”You didn't eat all day.” Jiang Ruan said, ”do you want to starve to death in your own house?”
Jiang ruanping always treats people gently, and always maintains a smile on her face, which makes her facial features vivid and bright. However, when you look at it carefully, the smile did not reach the bottom of your eyes, as if it was just an excellent mask, which made you feel faint alienation. But her emotional leakage is very rare, except for close people, even in the face of Jiang Xin, she is mostly comforting expression, never had any special unhappy expression.
In her heart, she is a person with distinct love and hate, but both love and hate are hidden under the expression of smile. This makes her smile a little intriguing. The same smile means different things. For example, at the moment, she is clearly smiling, but the anger and unhappiness in her eyes are finally seen by someone.
Xiao Shao ”Oh”, silently took the spoon in Jiang Ruan's hand, slowly scooped a mouthful of porridge and tasted it. On weekdays, he didn't think he had any special food, but today, for some reason, he felt very delicious. Xiao Shao was in a good mood and soon finished his porridge. That is to say, we have eaten up all the cakes that we don't usually eat.
Jiang Ruan was very satisfied with Xiao Shao's knowledge and interest. He sat down opposite him and said, ”I heard you are going to fight soon?”
She asked so stiffly, but Xiao Shao didn't feel anything wrong, and replied, ”well.”
”You. Be careful. ” Jiang Ruan thought about it, but he still asked. After all, she will marry the man in front of her. No matter how he is, it seems that Xiao Shao has been helping her unconditionally. This life she no longer easily believe people, Xiao Shao is an exception. She paused and said, ”I will guard Jinying palace for you.”
Xiao Shao was shocked by her words again and couldn't help looking up at her.
Xiao Shao knew what kind of person Jiang Ruan was. When he met her for the first time, Xiao Shao could see clearly that the girl was calm, resolute, ruthless and full of hostility. She seemed to have many secrets and sealed her heart stubbornly in a corner. It seems like a heartless person, but in fact it is not. She risked her life for Jiang Xinzhi and alienated herself in order to save the Zhao family. Even Xuan Pei, who was only once in the palace, would help. In fact, she is a very short guard, but she can protect too few people.
