Langui Town is still relatively far from Deng County, but fortunately, it will take half an hour to ride a carriage. It’s just dark and winter is again, and there are no people on the road. The air is very quiet, and the sound of horse hooves and the sound of wheels crushing the ground are particularly clear.

"A Cui is pregnant, your elder brother will be a father next year." Zhou sighed a little, "Time flies so fast."

When she said this, she glanced at the eldest daughter on the left.

Ji Wan lowered her eyes and said nothing.

Knowing that my mother must have thought of the Jiang family again, and the eldest son of the Jiang family. She had no idea about that before, but later she thought about it carefully. On the day they moved, Qiu was particularly enthusiastic and kept praising her, and probably had this consideration.

Qiu made a living under Mrs. Jiang's hands, but he never got Mrs. Jiang's new trust. He probably wanted to use this method to please Mrs. Jiang, and proved that he was indeed completely unambitious and reassured that the Jiang family was in her.

She doesn't care about what Mrs. Qiu is thinking about, nor can she care about it.

These days she has been busy making hawthorn cake and hawthorn slices, but she hasn't gone to the Jiang family. Instead, Jiang Ying came twice and took Guo Yan and his brother.

Mrs. Jiang gave her granddaughter some whisper. The second girl Jiang, who was ignorant of the world, finally got her a clue and began to examine Ji Wan's "future sister-in-law" for her brother. This can be easily seen in her words. For example, Jiang Ying would inadvertently ask her what books she had read, how to deal with business difficulties, and observe her temper. She also seemed to unintentionally praise her brother for being so good, such as a genius boy, a jade-like jade, who would be very happy in the future, who would marry Jiang Yuan in the future.

Even Guo Yan privately touched her tone.

At that time, Ji Wan was playing chess with her. Guo Li and Ji Rong were talking beside her. Ji Heng was eating pastries while watching the chess game. When Ji Wan won, he laughed, and then picked up the whole pastry from the plate and handed it to his sister for food. When Ji Wan lost, he pouted unhappily and then ate two pieces of pastries together.

"Yesterday, Lierye and I went to pay our respects to our grandmother. She also asked me what you are busy with recently, so why didn't you go to sit there. She liked the hawthorn cake you sent here very much, and she always praised you for your skillfulness and said that if you marry you in the future, you will be blessed."

Ji Wan understood what she meant and looked at her with anger, "What should I marry? I'm only thirteen years old, and it's still early. The things I make are for sale, and as long as I have money, I have good fortune."

Guo Yan heard that she had no meaning to Jiang Yuan, at least not now.

In fact, Guo Yan really hopes that Ji Wan will marry into the Jiang family.

Although Jiang Yuan is not her biological brother, she is not bad for her brothers, especially for Jiang Yue, who personally gave advice on her homework, and the two brothers have a very good relationship.

He looks good and has a good temper, and is also a promising person. He is simply a man and beautiful woman.

For selfishness, his mother has a good relationship with Zhou, and Ji Wan will become the hostess of the Jiang family in the future and will not treat her mother harshly.

Thinking of this, Guo Yan couldn't help but say good things to Jiang Yuan.

"When it comes to the hawthorn cake you made, it is really sweet and soft, and not as dry as ordinary pastries. Our family likes it very much. Even my brother, who has never been sour, praised it for its good taste and has eaten several pieces."

She smiled and said, "When it comes to the Jiang family brother, he is a child prodigy who is known in all corners of the country. He doesn't like to do business, and has been proficient in poetry and books since he was a child. He became a scholar at the age of ten. I heard that many families wanted to get engaged to the Jiang family at that time. But my grandmother had a high vision and didn't even look at any of them. The brother was diligent, calm and humble, and gentle and filial. My mother often said that her brother is so kind, she must marry him a beautiful and virtuous wife in the future."

Obviously, this "beautiful and virtuous wife" is Ji Wan.

Ji Wan just laughed and didn't answer.

Guo Yan was also tactful and did not continue this topic, and quietly played with her. As Jiang Yuan's stepmother, she knew that her thoughts were recognized by her mother-in-law, and Qiu also tried her best to promote this marriage in front of Zhou.

Zhou laughed at her and did not agree clearly.

Ji Wan thought about it for several days, and her initial repulsion gradually faded. Since she came, she would be at ease. From the beginning, she knew that no matter how sooner or later, she could not escape the fate of getting married.

Now that I heard the hints in my mother's words, she was silent for a long time and looked up and said, "My sister Yan came over yesterday. I saw that her purse was embroidered very delicately. Anyway, hawthorn is made by the chef at home, so I will have a few days of leisure. Tomorrow I will go to Jiangzhai and ask Sister Yan to give me some advice."

It is fake to ask the girl Hong, but it is real to want to see Jiang Yuan again.

She believed in her mother's vision, but after all, her mother had only seen Jiang Yuan once, and the good and bad things were just superficial.

At least it is related to her life, so she always has to examine herself to feel at ease. The ancients were not like modern times. After marriage, she could divorce. It was very difficult in ancient times and had a great impact on women. For the long-term plan, she had to be very cautious.

When Zhou heard this, he knew that his daughter had let go and nodded with a smile.

"Let Arong go with you. You sisters and you have a companion."

Ji Rong immediately smiled and came over, "Okay."

My mother did not allow them to go out at will on weekdays. She kept them at home every day. After a long time, she felt bored and wanted to go out for a walk.

Zhou touched her head and smiled and drank.

"The Jiang family is a big family and has very rules. Don't run around, do you know?"

Ji Rong nodded obediently, "I know, I will follow my sister and promise not to run around."

Ji Heng blinked his beautiful big eyes and joined in the fun, "Mom, I'm going too."

Zhou thought about it and finally agreed.

Ji Heng immediately jumped up happily, but forgot that he was still in the carriage. The carriage happened to be bumpy and he almost fell down.

Ji Wan quickly supported him, pulled his brother closer to his arms, and said angrily: "Be careful, if you fall, you will have to cry again."

The carriage suddenly stopped.

Ji Wan was surprised. Zhou was already asking the coachman, "What's wrong?"

The coachman hesitated and said, "Madam, there is a person walking on the ground, like a girl. I don't know if she is injured and unconscious."

In the middle of the night, someone suddenly lay down on the road?

Ji Wan's first reaction was to hit the car, so she immediately ordered: "Don't worry, go around."

Zhou frowned, "Let Mother Kong go and have a look."

"Mom, this is the official road. It's so dark, and there are basically no people on the road. How could a girl suddenly appear lying on the ground? It happened to be blocked in front of our carriage. This matter was very strange. We can't control it, be careful to cause trouble."

Ji Wan said calmly.

Zhou was originally full of sympathy, but after hearing what his daughter said, she felt that it made some sense.

"Let's go." After a pause, he added, "Go hurry up."

"yes."

As soon as the coachman finished speaking, the carriage galloped away.

The girl lying on the ground opened her eyes at this time and looked at the departing carriage incredible ways. She didn't expect it to be the result. Shouldn't they get off the car and say hello? Take her back and ask about her health care? Why did she leave like this?

After surprise, I became angry.

She took out a bamboo tube from her arms and put it in her mouth and blew it.

Not far ahead, a dozen men hiding their bodies by the terrain and the forest rushed out immediately. The shaky knife lit up in the darkness, which scared the coachman to tie the reins immediately, and his voice changed.

"Who are you? What are you going to do?"

"Stop talking nonsense, leave all your money, otherwise I will send you to the Hall of Hell."

In the car, Zhou and others had heard the movement outside. Ji Rong was so scared that her face turned pale. She subconsciously approached her mother's arms, looked at her sister who was holding her head in her arms, and trembled and said, "Sister, sister, what should we do now?"

"Don't panic, we'll take the servants out."

Zeng Fu and Zeng Lu are not a trainee, but Lu Feili and Qi Jiu sent a few people over to him. Because they were far away, Zhou brought two of them to follow him just in case. Unexpectedly, he really encountered a bandit.

At this time, the two of them had already fought with each other, and the sound of swords colliding in the dark was particularly harsh.

Listening to the sound, there are many people on the other side. Do the two servants in their own family have a chance of winning?

Ji Rong was so scared that she trembled all over and her eyes were filled with fear.

Ji Heng didn't know what was going on at first, but when she saw that she was so scared, she was also scared and started crying.

Ji Wan hurriedly comforted her: "Aheng won't cry, we will get home soon."

Ji Wan was not so optimistic about comforting her younger brother like this. She looked at her calm mother and listened carefully. Fortunately, there were no crying from a few maids in the carriage behind her. It was supposed that Mother Kong had comforted her.

She took out the simple crossbow she had made for hunting from her arms, took out a small box from under her seat, and put the sharpened wooden arrow on it.

"Awan."

Seeing that she was about to open the car door, Zhou suddenly spoke, his eyes full of disagreement and concern.

"Mom, we can't sit still and wait for death."

Ji Wan took a deep breath, "Don't worry, I'm right by the carriage, I won't go far."

"But…"

There are so many people on the other side, but they have no eyes on the sword, so if they hurt their daughter.

"It's okay, I'm a good deal."

Ji Wan pushed his younger brother to his mother, "Be good, don't cry or make trouble. After you go back, your sister will make you your favorite milk pudding."

Ji Heng still had tears on his face and whispered: "I want two."

"good."

Ji Wan successfully coaxed her younger brother, so she opened the car door and jumped down.

"Awan——"

It was too late for Zhou to stop him.

Just now, I only heard the sound in the carriage. Now I saw the real scene. Even though I was prepared, Ji Wan was so shocked that her legs were weak.

She really admired the calmness and calmness of the heroine in those novels when facing the fight. She had seen so many people in black injured, but attacked even more fiercely.

The two servants in my family are still intact for the time being, but they are obviously exhausted.

"Grand girl, come in quickly, it's dangerous here."

When the servant Yijia saw her coming out, he slashed and said, "I have already sent the signal just now, and the prince will come soon."

When he spoke, he was distracted. A man in black on the left was already slashing over with a big knife. Ji Wan suddenly lost her complexion and fired her crossbow in her hand.
