Damn Desire to Win and Lose
Jiang Huaice looked at her trembling eyelashes and felt a pain in his heart. When he broke through the city gate with her body in his arms that day, what he saw was the Changping Marquis Mansion that had been burned down by a fire.
She must have watched the flames devour everything with her own eyes, and then was carried to the tower in despair.
"Don't be afraid."
He comforted her, and Shen Zhiyi slowly opened her eyes. She was not afraid of fire, but she was afraid of seeing herself again, living a life that was so unsatisfactory.
Xiao Zian lowered the fire with a smile. This small incident did not disturb the interest of several people. The smell of meat continued to spread, and Shen Shaoqing sprinkled seasonings on the fish, which immediately made everyone's appetites increase.
As soon as Meng Xuan'an picked up a skewer of grilled fish, he saw Jiang Huaice also picking up a skewer. They both handed it to Shen Zhiyi at the same time. The man chuckled softly: "I'm afraid Mr. Meng's fish isn't cooked yet. "
His string of fish was competing with the fish in Meng Xuanan's hand, and he almost squeezed the fish's head off. Neither of them would give in. The two strings of fish were swaying in front of Shen Zhiyi, shaking her. Dizziness.
The girl took the fish in their hands with a straight face, then stopped the two of them, and pushed it further, fearing that what she would eat would be a lump of fish paste in her mouth.
"Zhizhi, last time I said that the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is beautiful. It is a water town and there are flowers."
Meng Xuan'an was only halfway through his words when he was interrupted again by Jiang Huaice. He flipped the fish on the shelf and snorted coldly: "Speaking of scenery, I think the frontier fortress has a unique flavor. You can enjoy the lonely smoke of the desert described by our ancestors. The sun sets over the long river.”
"What the Marquis said is true. In Dayong, we have to thank the generals like Marquis who protect our family and the country. This is why we have the capital to sit here and discuss the scenery everywhere."
Meng Xuan'an did not refute Jiang Huaice's words. Instead, he followed him and praised him first, and then said: "But the northwest is too far and the wind and sand are too strong. Women like Zhi Zhi may prefer Tingzhou to pick white apples. The scenery of Jiangnan Spring at sunset.”
When it comes to the literati poems in sages' books, Jiang Huaice is slightly inferior to Meng Xuan'an. After all, he is a military officer, and what he is best at is the use of troops.
Listening to Meng Xuanan's words, Jiang Huaice felt that he was competing with him. This damn desire to win, if he was questioned here, wouldn't Zhizhi look down on him?
"No matter how beautiful the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is, it will be boring if you see too much, but you can't see enough of the vast landscape in the northwest. It's just like the road under your feet. How can you only walk this small area?"
Doesn't his insinuation mean that Meng Xuan'an will never be able to get out of the circle he is in in this life? Meng Xuan'an lowered his head and smiled back at him: "Thousands of miles can be accomplished in a small space. A talented person has been reading the books of saints since he was a child. , I have already understood the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains described by the saint."
"You guys, are you done?"
Seeing that Jiang Huaice was about to open his mouth to speak again, Shen Zhiyi threw the branch on the ground and said something to stop him. The three people opposite him were already looking like they were eating melons, watching these two people talking to each other.
The girl stood up and took advantage of Jiang Huaice's unpreparedness to leave. Shen Shaowei also dropped the fish in his hand and followed her. The remaining Shen Shaoqing and Xiao Zian saw that the atmosphere was not good and hurriedly walked aside to chat.
Before Shen Shaoqing left, he didn't forget to get some skewers of grilled fish for his third brother. He held the fish basket in one hand and the grilled fish in the other as he walked quickly.
Suddenly, only Jiang Huaice and Meng Xuan'an were left by the river. The man's hand touched the crossbow in his sleeve, he raised his eyes and looked at Meng Xuan'an and said leisurely: "Mr. Meng, don't covet things that don't belong to you."
"What do you mean by what the Marquis said? What do you mean by something that doesn't belong to me? How do you know I can't get it before we fight for it?"
Meng Xuan'an's face was not showy, and his gaze on Jiang Huaice was not inferior at all. Although he was dressed simply, Jiang Huaice felt that he was a very deep man, and that he was not someone who could see through at a glance.
"Then give it a try, Master Meng. Whoever loses will never appear in front of her again."
Jiang Huaice looked at Meng Xuanan with only cold eyes, as cold as frost, as cold as wind and snow, and his eyes were a bit dangerous, as if a hunter was giving a warning to the enemy who wanted to get close to his prey.
He stood up and left. Meng Xuanan sat on the same spot, raised his head slightly and murmured: "I didn't want to fight at first, but now I want to give it a try."
Shen Zhiyi walked quickly, Shen Shaowei followed her behind, shouted out, and saw several luxuriously dressed women walking towards her. The one at the head had her hair tied up with a gold hairpin, and her clothes were made of fine brocade. He stopped Shen Zhiyi with a proud look on his face.
"Are you Shen Zhiyi? That concubine of the Shen family?"
Shang Junhua looked at Shen Zhiyi and had to admit that she was quite pretty. Apart from this, she couldn't see how she could attract brother Minghuai.
"The princess is talking to you, are you mute?"
Shen Zhiyi naturally knew Shang Junhua, who was her number one enemy in her previous life. Before Shang Junhua could say a second sentence, the daughter of an aristocratic family who wanted to please Shang Junhua made an accusation first.
"Does the princess have anything to do with me?"
The little girl was slightly taller than Shang Junhua, and she still had some momentum when she stood there. Shang Junhua was so angry when he saw her like this that he reached out and pushed her to the ground.
"How can you talk to this princess? You don't even have any etiquette or respect. Is this what the Shen family taught you?"
Shen Zhiyi staggered and fell to the ground. Seeing this, Shen Shaowei hurriedly stepped forward to help her. Holding back her anger, she looked up at Shang Junhua and said, "The princess is bullying the minister's daughter like this. She is not afraid of being raped by your Majesty or the Queen." Do you know?"
There are many noble people in this hunting ground. Under such a public gaze, Shang Junhua is not afraid at all. Who makes his father a prince and his aunt a noble concubine?
"Minister?"
Shang Junhua seemed to have heard something funny. He covered his mouth and laughed: "But a doctor really thinks of himself as a minister? This princess is bullying you, what can you do?"
She said arrogant words. Shen Zhiyi held his sister's hand and stood up unsteadily, then fell towards Shang Junhua. The little girl took advantage of everyone's exclaims and panic to take the bottle of Itchy. All the powder poured into Shang Junhua's cuffs.
Shen Zhiyi fell on Shang Junhua, closed his eyes tightly, and looked like he had fainted. Shen Shaonan, who happened to be patrolling, saw this scene, hugged his sister and ran to the camp. As for Shang Junhua, who saved her There are too many people there.
"Okay Third Brother, I'm fine. I was just pretending."
Before arriving at the camp, Shen Zhiyi opened his eyes and blinked. Shen Shaonan and Shen Shaowei breathed a sigh of relief. Shen Shaowei tapped her forehead with his hand: "You, you are not allowed to go out for these two days. That Shang Junhua is very vengeful, so I won’t save you from being bullied again.”
"I know, I'll be staying in the camp these days."
Anyway, Shang Junhua had to stay in the camp for at least three or four days. The bottle of itching powder was specially prepared for her, and she didn't expect to use it so early.
On the other side of Jiang Huaice's camp, Guo Lun told Jiang Huaice what happened today. The man made fists with his hands and chuckled, then said: "Go catch two non-venomous snakes and put them in Shang Junhua's camp."
"ah?"
Guo Lun thought he was hallucinating and said, "That's Princess Hengyang. Who dares to offend that shrew?" Jiang Huaice threw the book in his hand and asked, "What, are you deaf?"
Before Jiang Huaice could say the rest of his words, Guo Lun responded repeatedly, "It's really terrible to leave this place of right and wrong, and I really can't afford to offend Miss Shen Si's father when he meets her."
Meng Xuanan: Zhizhi likes it.
What Jiang Huaice heard in his ears was: blah blah blah, it's all farts.
