After listening to Yue Shuhua's words, Jiang Ran blinked his eyes, his dark eyebrows twitched twice, and answered very gently.
Yue Shuhua's red lips raised slightly, and after responding with a smile, he turned his eyes to Tang Ji again: "Listen to my sister's advice, you really must not go to the northwest, otherwise you may risk your life there. What will you do if something happens to you?
?”
Tang Ji exhaled, and then replied: "Sister Yue, don't you feel at ease when I do something?"
"You..." Yue Shuhua wanted to persuade him again, but remembering the boy's stubborn temper, he finally swallowed the words and sighed: "Well, since you have decided, I will stop you.
It doesn’t help either.”
Tang Ji drank all the water in the teacup in one gulp, raised his sleeves, thought about it for a moment, and then asked: "Sister Yue, do you know Xiao Tian?"
"We know each other." Yue Shuhua did not hide anything, adjusted his sitting posture, and continued: "You should know that there are two directors of the Jianghai Chamber of Commerce. One is you, and the other is Xiao Tian. His original name is Xiao Yong, and he used to be
The Jianghu thief was injured by the imperial guards six years ago because he sneaked into the palace to steal treasures. He was rescued by me through some strange combination of circumstances. Since then, he has been working for me. I was worried that you would encounter trouble in Kyoto, so I sent
He is protecting you secretly."
Sure enough!
Tang Ji was not very surprised, because he didn't have many friends in this world, and he could count them on his fingers who would send people to protect him secretly. He had guessed it was Yue Shuhua before, but now he just confirmed it.
She smiled lightly, cupped her hands and replied, "Thank you, Sister Yue."
"You are my brother, why are you being polite to me?" Yue Shuhua waved his hand nonchalantly.
Tang Ji thought for a moment and asked, "Then, besides Xiao Tian, didn't you send anyone else?"
Yue Shuhua shook his head: "I heard that you have established a foothold in Kyoto and haven't sent anyone over again. What's wrong?"
"It's nothing. I always felt like someone was following me secretly before. I thought it was you who sent me!" Tang Ji answered in a covert manner. From this point of view, the man in black he met yesterday was another group of people, but he
I really can't think of anyone else who would protect me secretly, and I can't help but feel a bit confused.
Yue Shuhua heard from Zhou Qingwan before that the master also sent Tianyi Guards to protect Tang Ji, but the matter had passed, so he stopped talking about this topic and turned to Jiang Ran: "Okay, let's go try on clothes.
, I asked someone to make it with the newly received Xueyun gauze, which costs fifty taels per foot in Huaizhou City!"
Jiang Ran glanced at Tang Ji and nodded immediately.
"Hahaha, Sister Yue spent a lot of money." Tang Ji also knew that Yue Shuhua had a habit of giving Ranran clothes. He stood up with a smile, stretched his muscles twice, and added: "In this case, you go try on the clothes first, and I will
Go prepare dinner, Sister Yue, will you stay for dinner?"
Yue Shuhua folded his hands on his chest and said in a charming voice: "This is natural! Let's not talk about my hard work in helping you take care of the shop. Even if I come to you just after entering the city, you have to treat me to a good meal!"
...
After dinner, Yue Shuhua chatted with Jiang Ran for a long time, and did not leave until curfew was approaching.
Tang Ji and Jiang Ran put her on the carriage and returned to the courtyard. The latter's steps were very light. He raised his hand and patted his head twice: "Ah, it's so late. I should let Sister Yue stay for a while."
Late.”
"It's okay, it's only a few blocks away anyway." Tang Ji replied casually, and then slowed down and walked parallel to her. He noticed the skirt on her body and stared sideways. This dress was based on snow white, and the shoulder part was
The layer is beige, the neckline is rounded and inlaid with pearls, and the cuffs are designed like wavers. Together with the lines, decorations, etc. of the whole body, it brings out Jiang Ran's pure white and flawless temperament, which is enough to show that it is valuable.
He smiled calmly and said, "Should I say it or not, this outfit really suits you."
Seeing this scene, Jiu'er who was following behind stopped. She knew that her uncle wanted to be alone with the young lady again, so she sneered and yawned, preparing to wash up and go to bed.
Tang Ji took Jiang Ran all the way to the backyard, and the two stopped on the path.
Just at this time, the breeze blew, and the sweet-scented osmanthus was scattered all over the grassland on the southeast side, and the fragrance was revealed. In addition, the maple leaves began to turn red, and the chrysanthemums, hibiscus, begonias, etc. were blooming or in bud around them.
Waiting also dances with the wind.
Tang Ji put his arm around Jiang Ran's shoulders and sighed: "You said you like red maple, but it's a pity that I can't accompany you to see it turn red."
Jiang Ran shook his head and leaned his head on his shoulder: "The red maples turn red every year, and you promised to stay with me forever, how could you not see it? It's not like they won't open next year, and who said that we
We can’t watch it together... Hasn’t His Majesty not yet agreed to let you go to the northwest?”
Having said that, Tianxuan said it was done, so there shouldn't be any surprises. Tang Ji held her hand and put it on his cheek: "I have already discussed it with Li Yu. You will move in after I leave."
You can live in Prince You's Mansion or go to the Song family. Didn't you go there with Song Yao last time? Aunt Song quite likes you, and I believe no one would dare to bully you."
"I'm not going anywhere. Ji Ranju is our home." Jiang Ran caressed his cheek gently, and the ring in his hand shone brightly under the moonlight.
Tang Ji had expected that she would say this, touched her long hair, and said: "Well, I will listen to you. I will take Mr. Sun with me to the northwest this time, but I also told Ye Xiao that
Many masters will come over in two days, and I also asked him to try to find a master-level master for me, so that you can be safe..."
But before he finished speaking, Jiang Ran turned around and covered his mouth, then took a small step forward, looked at his light red lips, and kissed him slowly, from indifferent to wild, from
Calm to hot...
Soon, Tang Ji took over the initiative again and deepened the kiss.
Under the moonlight, a pair of figures hugged each other, enjoying this short yet long romance.
