Guan Jiyu almost fled the capital and left the capital.
The horse ran very fast, and her heart soared following the horse's footsteps. Guan Jiyu counted the days and found that he had only stayed in the Sixth Prince's Mansion for a month, which was not a long time. But to her, it was It seems like several long years have passed.
Finally, it's time to leave here.
As soon as she left the capital, Guan Jiyu felt hungry. She was in a hurry to leave in the palace and didn't even use the morning tea. Now her stomach was already growling. Guan Jiyu thought about the capital and Nanqin. There were no good restaurants on the connecting section of the road, so she rubbed her belly and rested for a while, thinking that she would wait for the carriage to drive into Nanqin and then find a place to eat.
Nanqin is originally a land of warm mist and rain, and this is the time when the rains are abundant in autumn. Sure enough, just after entering Nanqin land, it started to rain continuously outside, and everywhere it went was moist.
Guan Jiyu opened the car curtain and looked out at the scenery along the road.
When Jiang Qing brought her back from Beizhong, he took this road, but it was the coldest winter month at that time, a few months later than now. That day has already passed so long , but Guan Jiyu still clearly remembers the road he walked, the scenery he saw along the way, and Jiang Qing's appearance.
She was hungry at that time, and it wasn't until her stomach growled that Jiang Qing stopped the carriage and hurriedly got out of the carriage to buy sesame balls for her.
Sesame balls...
Guan Jiyu still remembered the taste of the first bite. Her mouth was filled with the aroma of sesame seeds, crispy on the outside and soft and waxy on the inside. So she stared out along the road until she reached that place, and then she called the driver. The carriage stopped: "Just stop here, I'll go down and have something to eat."
Sure enough, there was a small restaurant on the roadside. There was also a stall in front of the small restaurant. The owner was an aunt. The stall was very plain. It was just a longer wooden table with two pots on it, one of which was an oil pot. Sesame balls were being fried inside, and the aroma filled the air. Another pot was boiling water, and the water inside was already boiling. The aunt quickly grabbed a handful of noodles and threw them in. After boiling for a while, she threw in a few green vegetables. , then put it on the small square table aside and simply seasoned it, and a bowl of fragrant noodle soup was ready.
Seeing Guan Jiyu coming over, the aunt greeted her warmly: "Girl, sit inside."
Guan Jiyu responded: "Okay, please bring me a sesame dumpling and a bowl of noodle soup."
While scooping up the sesame balls in the frying pan, the aunt said, "Okay, I'll call you when it's ready, and you come out and serve it." The aunt explained as if it was normal: "There are too many people here, and I don't have time for one." After all, I just shouted and asked the guests to come out and serve it themselves."
Guan Jiyu said: "Okay, just call me when it's done."
As Guan Jiyu was about to walk in, the aunt put the prepared noodles on the table. Sure enough, she shouted loudly, and a strong man walked out and came over to take his noodles.
Guan Jiyu had been hungry for a long time. At this time, her hands and feet were numb, her heart was beating hard, and her eyes were blurred. Guan Jiyu looked at the strong man coming out of the house, and it turned into a double image. She felt like she was about to stand up. Unsteady, in a panic, I reached out to hold the table next to me, but accidentally touched the noodle bowl on the table.
She fell down uncontrollably, and the table became her life-saving straw. However, a bowl of prepared noodle soup was accidentally knocked over by Guan Jiyu. The noodles and noodle soup were scattered everywhere, and some noodle soup was spilled on the ground.
Guan Jiyu's hand was burned, and she was sobered.
But the strong man was irritated and cursed: "I've been waiting for so long, and I'm starving to death. I finally got the food in my mouth, and you just knocked me over all of a sudden?!"
The aunt saw that Guan Jiyu's hand was burnt red, and she exclaimed: "Ouch! My ancestors, first look at whether the person has been burned severely! If you are careful, no one is willing to deliberately overturn their job here.
It's over!" As he said that, he quickly took out the handkerchief used on the pot and wet it with water, and carefully wiped off the noodle soup on Guan Jiyu's hands.
But the strong man said reluctantly: "Are you careful? How could you be careless? As long as a normal person has a pair of eyes, who wouldn't be able to see such a big noodle bowl? I'm afraid he's not blind with his eyes open, right?"
Guan Jiyu bit his lip and said, "Brother, I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to offend you, but..."
"Just what?" The strong man crossed his arms and asked aggressively: "I want to see what reason you can come up with? It's a good road but you don't take it well. You are a girl and I should let you go.
Is it done?"
"It's because..." Guan Jiyu lowered her head in shame. Although everything was due to physical reasons, she didn't want to say it out loud.
In the days to come, she was unwilling to mention this fact over and over again.
"Humph, I knew you couldn't tell me a reason!" The strong man sneered and said, "You can forgive me if you want, but you have to pay me fifty taels of silver!"
He spread his hands and stretched out towards Guan Jiyu, but the aunt on the side couldn't stand it, and still urged in a loud voice: "Oh, hey! What's wrong! Let's do this, my guest, I will make you another bowl of noodles.
Okay? Let’s forget about it!”
"That won't work!" The strong man stretched out his hand reluctantly and said, "This is not about a bowl of noodles! She affected my mood for eating today. I came here happily thinking about eating a bowl of noodles, but she
You must have made me unhappy, and now I am unhappy. What can be more important than my mood? I don’t care, she must compensate for this!"
Guan Jiyu knew that the person in front of him must be a scoundrel or a gangster, and she was unlucky to meet him today. But she didn't have any strength in her hands. If it were before, she would never listen to so much nonsense from him...
Just as he was hesitating whether to take out the money, a voice came from inside the restaurant: "What a big statement. I want to see who's mood is worth fifty taels of silver?"
This voice floated out leisurely from inside, and Guan Jiyu lost her mind for a moment. She will never forget this voice in this world.
It was a very special voice, and the flamboyance and unruliness in the tone had not been worn away even after being in the military camp for so long.
Guan Jiyu hurriedly rubbed his eyes and looked towards the door.
Jiang Yingnian and Han Xu came out. They walked slowly one after the other, but neither of them seemed to recognize her.
Jiang Yingnian just frowned and looked at the brawny man who was making trouble, and said: "This brother, playing such tricks with a girl here, is too unmanly, right? As a man, you don't have to be upright.
, but it would be too boring to act like this."
The strong man was so angry that he raised his arms and stepped forward, about to attack Jiang Yingnian. Han Xu, who was standing behind, quickly blocked the way with a flash of shadow and stopped the strong man's arm with one hand.
Han Xu's face was calm, and he secretly exerted some strength on his hands. The strong man was so painful that he begged for mercy: "Good man, good man, I don't dare anymore. Just be noble and let me go!"
"Get out!" Han Xu flicked his hand, and the strong man was thrown to the ground.
The strong man did not dare to say another word, so he got up and left quickly.
Jiang Yingnian turned around inadvertently and said, "Girl, are you okay?" After looking at Guan Jiyu's face, he was obviously stunned.
Han Xu's eyes were obviously fixed, and then he asked tentatively: "Is it... Jiyu?"
It's not surprising that the two of them had this reaction. Even people who have known each other for many years would find it difficult to connect her with the Guan Jiyu of the past when they see Guan Jiyu's current description.
Today, she has changed her hair style and replaced her original Qingziying training uniform. The person standing in front of them has her hair styled like that of ordinary folk women, and her clothes are also chosen to match the red beads on her head.
She wore a set of crimson dresses. In addition to still using the name "Guan Jiyu", she was completely different from her original self.
Guan Jiyu heard that her heart was beating faster than when she was dizzy just now. She tried her best to suppress the waves tumbling in her heart, and smiled lightly: "Why, we haven't seen each other for more than a month, why don't you recognize me?
?」
"Ayu..." Jiang Yingnian called her name stupidly, and then he realized that the person in front of him was really the person he thought about day and night. He couldn't help but excitedly shouted: "Ayu!
Ayu! I’m not dreaming, am I?”
Guan Jiyu said with a smile:
"You didn't dream, it was really me."
After Jiang Yingnian shouted a few times, his eyes suddenly turned red. He grabbed Guan Jiyu's hand and whispered: "Ayu, where have you been? I searched around the capital for several times and couldn't find you.
, I thought there was no hope, but who knew I would meet you here?!"
Guan Jiyu lowered his head, was silent for a moment, and then said: "Why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be in the eastern camp? Does the general know about this coming? Don't let him know, otherwise he will definitely punish you!"
Jiang Yingnian snorted and said proudly: "Hey, this time, I really didn't run out secretly. The general personally told me to look for you. Don't turn a blind eye to you.
"
Han Xu nodded and expressed his affirmation. He also explained: "This time, the young master and I were ordered to garrison at the Yanjiang Corridor in the north. It was indeed approved by the general, so we came to the capital specifically to find you.
But we couldn't find him, so we went back to Nanqin to see the second young master at home. We originally planned to rest here, so we headed north."
While Han Xu was talking, Jiang Yingnian looked at Guan Jiyu carefully, looked at her from head to toe several times, and then sighed: "Ayu, you have lost weight, you have lost a lot of weight."
"Of course!" Guan Jiyu smiled and explained: "To be honest, the food outside is not delicious at all. I am not used to it, so naturally I can't eat a lot. But...have I really lost a lot of weight?"
"Of course!" Jiang Yingnian said dissatisfied: "This won't be allowed in the future. We in the Jiang Mansion don't promote "thinness is beauty"!"
Jiang Yingnian was slightly surprised when he saw the beads in Guan Jiyu's hair. He reached out and stroked her hair and said, "The beads on your head are quite pretty."
Han Xu glanced at Jiang Yingnian and reminded: "Sir, I haven't seen Ji Yu for a long time. Of course I have too much to say, but I have to sit down and talk. She hasn't had a bite of food yet."
Jiang Yingnian slapped his head and said: "Oh, I just got too happy! Okay, Ayu, let's go in and sit down and talk about it." He then asked his aunt, "Here are three more bowls of noodles!"
The aunt asked: "Young Master has just eaten two eyes of noodles, do you want to eat more?"
Jiang Yingnian said cheerfully: "I'm happy today, it doesn't hurt to eat more!"
