Guan Jiyu remembered that the snow in Beizhong was very heavy that winter. After the competition, she had no chance to become a "night whistle". She stood outside the gate of the capital with a small baggage in her hand. The baggage contained her only clothes.
Old clothes and two taels of silver given by the government.
It happened that Jiang Qing came to the capital to discuss matters. When Jiang Qing got off the sedan chair, he saw her at the door. When he was about to leave the capital after finishing the conversation and having dinner, she still refused to leave.
Jiang Qing obviously noticed her. Guan Jiyu looked at Jiang Qing and the servant at the gate of the capital and whispered a few words, then waved to the servant, and then waved to her.
He called her: "Come here."
She said nothing and did not move her feet.
"I see how Mr. Du has become a bit picky in the past two years. How many rations of food can a child eat? Not to mention such an outstanding child." He joked with a hearty laugh, without any concern that this was the grandson of the capital.
door.
"I am Jiang Qing, the head of the Nanqin Jiang family. If you have nowhere to go, why not just follow me." He was wearing a white fox fur cloak and standing not far away with a smile. Guan Jiyu stared at him and felt
It doesn't seem that cold anymore in the wind and snow.
She will always remember Jiang Qing's appearance that day. He was not angry and intimidating, and his thick cloak could not hide his majestic figure. It seemed that he must have a wife and children in his thirties.
He must be the best husband and the best father.
Guan Jiyu was sitting side by side with him in the carriage. She had no father or mother, and she didn't know why such thoughts flashed through her head.
Maybe it was when she said to him hesitantly, "You picked me up, but you can't throw me away again", she got his firm answer.
He said: "As long as you don't do anything extremely evil, I won't."
"You have to think carefully, I have nothing, I will give you this little life." She hurriedly confirmed again.
"No, I will keep my word and will never abandon you." He still looked firm.
Jiang Qing not only picked her up after being discarded, but also picked up her dignity.
As the carriage drove south, her body became warmer and warmer. It turned out that after leaving Beizhong, this place turned out to be such a world!
Guan Jiyu glanced at Jiang Qing who was taking a nap, and couldn't help but curiously opened the sedan curtain, looking at the scenery outside all the way.
The carriage passed through the bustling capital city, and she secretly longed for the prosperity. Going further south and entering Nanqin for the first time, she saw a scene of misty mist and rain. Pedestrians on the road were either walking slowly holding oil-paper umbrellas, or welcoming people.
Walking quickly in the drizzle was a common sight in Nanqin, but she watched it with relish.
When we were approaching Jiangfu, the sun had already come out.
Her stomach growled loudly, awakening Jiang Qing. Guan Jiyu blushed with embarrassment, lowered his head and stared at his toes in embarrassment.
Jiang Qing didn't laugh at her. He quickly called the driver to stop and got off the carriage.
When he came up again, he had two more sesame balls in his hands.
"Eat some sesame balls first to suppress your hunger, and wait until there are ready-made meals at home."
She took a bite of the sesame dough, then silently took out the two taels of silver that the government sent her from her bag and handed it to Jiang Qing: "Here you go. I forgot to mention that besides my little life, I still have money, a full two taels.
It was given by the capital."
Jiang Qing was stunned for a moment, not knowing what she meant. She whispered: "If I follow you, all my things will be yours."
After hearing this, his eyes widened deliberately, and he pretended to be surprised and said: "That's so much money! Why don't you store it carefully? Don't expose your wealth to others. It's time to worry about your money."
After saying that, he couldn't help laughing, as if he was very happy, and said: "What a silly boy, don't get me wrong, I, Mr. Jiang, don't want your property because of it."
The Jiang Mansion is naturally built in a grand manner. Compared with the luxury of Beizhong Capital, it has more of Nanqin's unique gentle and elegant atmosphere. There are no female relatives in the mansion. The few women are just a few serving maids and women.
Although Ji Yu was curious, he didn't dare to ask any more questions.
After the meal, Jiang Qing took her straight to Qingzi Camp, "If you know Kung Fu, you will be a member of Qingzi Camp from now on." His voice was very calm, which made her feel at ease.
"My second brother Jiang Xian concentrates on poetry and calligraphy. He spends his time in the study room reviewing his lessons. I hope he can successfully obtain the honors and enter Beijing as he wishes." When mentioning the second son Jiang Xian, Jiang Qing looked like a patriarch with high hopes, and then continued
He changed the subject: "As for my third brother Jiang Yingnian, Ying is usually out of shape. Not long ago he asked me to escort him to the capital to find a master for him to learn riding and shooting. He is not good at poetry, writing and literature.
The man's family has no choice but to let him practice martial arts."
Jiang Qing introduced his family members carefully. It is not difficult to see that the second young master Jiang Xian makes him worry-free and is also his pride. Although the third young master Jiang Yingnian gives him a headache, when he mentions him, Jiang Qing has a look on his face.
Unconcealable pampering.
He casually chatted with her about daily life without any distance, which made Guan Jiyu's heart settle again. She no longer had to worry about having nowhere to live. She had a new home, the brothers in Qingziying were very polite, and the military doctor also
I got her some new medicine and told her to take it.
Is he following the example of Du Yuanqiao? Du Yuanqiao's subordinates have private camps, and so does the Nanqin family.
But these are not important. No matter where she is allowed to stay, she will be happy. Her life should belong to Jiang Qing. As long as he is happy, she will be willing to do whatever he asks her to do.
The most important thing is that she needs to get in good health as soon as possible. She must be better than everyone in the camp in Duyuanqiao Mansion.
It wasn't for herself, she was doing it to give Jiang Qing a break.
Now when he thinks back to what happened in the past, Guan Jiyu only feels pain.
The kind of pain does not lie in the physical pain, but comes from the subtle invisible pain deep in the soul.
She was only fourteen years old that year, and when she thought she had no way out in life, Jiang Qing appeared. He picked up her, a poor cat that had been abandoned and was about to become a stray, saving her from the pain of being homeless.
That year, she vowed to fight for his life and protect him, didn't she?
The head of the family, who was only 30 years old, completely bid farewell to this world because of her mistakes.
The shortage of troops on the front line has always been a major issue in the Xuli Dynasty. The last instruction before the death of the late emperor a few years ago was still to increase troops for the northern front line. As the son of an aristocratic family, Jiang Qing trained the Qingzi Camp.
For the country, all his efforts were for this family. In his short life, he worked for the country and his family, but not for himself.
Not long ago, she asked Jiang Qing why he didn't find a marriage for himself. No matter whether he had a wife, the family had to have a mistress to take care of it.
But Jiang Qing smiled and shook his head and said: "Right now, A Xian is ill and in bed, and there are many things going on in the mansion and Qingziying. I'm afraid I don't have time to think about these things, and I don't want any girl to just come into my Jiang Mansion."
The door will have to share this for me, I can only wait..."
People who do good things throughout their lives never think about themselves until they die.
Guan Jiyu closed his eyes, his pillow was wet.
Jiang Yingnian was planning to go to Beizhong in person. After the troops from Guan Jiyu were sent to investigate, before he could even leave, people from Beizhong had already arrived first.
Moreover, the people who came were not ordinary servants from the mansion, but Du Yuanqiao came in person.
When Guan Jiyu was called to the hall, Du Yuanqiao and Zhan Feng had been sitting there for a long time. Jiang Xian, also dressed in white mourning clothes, sat with a pale face on the main seat where Jiang Qing used to sit, entertaining this fellow sufferer.
The head of the family.
Seeing that Jiang Yingnian was there, she pretended to be calm and composed, bowed respectfully to Du Yuanqiao and said, "I have met the head of the Du family."
Du Yuanqiao nodded, but before he could say anything, Jiang Yingnian spoke up first: "Brother Du Shi, upon hearing the news of my sister-in-law's passing, everyone in our house was extremely sad. Even Guan Jiyu, a man with a foreign surname in my house, couldn't bear it.
I can’t help but feel sad for you, my old master.”
When Guan Jiyu heard this, he couldn't help but raise his head and glare at him fiercely.
Jiang Xian glanced at Duyuanqiao and saw that his expression was normal, so he felt relieved and coughed, saying, "Ah Ying, please don't be rude."
Guan Jiyu knew that he had been ridiculed, but he did not feel sorry for himself. He was just vaguely sad for Jiang Qing and Du Yuanqiao.
With such a result, Jiang Yingnian is still in such a weird mood? Jiang Qing's death in the north is really sad, but although Du Yuanqiao survived, the current situation is not much better. That night was chaotic.
There was a fire in the tent in the middle camp, and Mrs. Du unfortunately died in the fire. He also lost his first wife. He probably had too much sadness that he needed to hide in his heart.
Zhan Feng, who was standing behind Duyuan Bridge, said: "What the young master said is beyond the pale. Considering the friendship between our Du and Jiang families, when the head of the Jiang family passes away, all of us servants in the Du family are also grieved. Guan Jiyu once upon a time
She came from the capital, and her heartbreak is no different from our heartbreak over the death of the head of the Jiang family."
Jiang Yingnian ignored him, leaned back on the chair casually, and continued to say to Du Yuanqiao: "Brother Du Shi must be very good at raising dogs, right? You can teach me someday. I think the one trained by you is
If you are more loyal than one, you will bite others."
Du Yuanqiao patiently listened to his innuendo and didn't care. "I used to hear Brother Jiang mention that the younger brother in the family is funny. I just thought of him as a child. I didn't expect that Yingnian would grow up to be an adult so quickly.
I don't understand what you are saying. What is the best way to raise a dog? Brother Jiang once asked for a dog in Beizhong and said he would give it to you. I think it has grown into a large dog now."
Jiang Yingnian curled his lips and said, "That dog has been dead for a long time. It was killed by a more ferocious dog. It's very boring."
Seeing this, Jiang Xian coughed heavily again, and scolded with a solemn expression: "Okay Aying, brother Du Shi is here to discuss important matters this time. If you have nothing to do, please leave first."
Jiang Yingnian knew that he shouldn't say more at this time, so he went out angrily.
"What? The general Xiang concentration camp is going to take the school test again?" Jiang Yingnian said in surprise: "How can we take the school test? In the past, the eldest brother took the brothers from the Qingzi camp, but now the eldest brother...
.What’s more, Du Yuanqiao has said that he will withdraw from this exam, so what are we going to do?”
Jiang Xian frowned and said: "The capital has already submitted a temporary withdrawal request to the general's office before us. Now the war with the Guyi Kingdom in the north is still in a stalemate. The military camp is in urgent need of reinforcements. We have to go...
..."
"This old fox, taking advantage of the fact that the capital is close to Xiangjun camp, has thrown all the problems to us." Jiang Yingnian thought for a while and continued: "But it's okay, I am worried that I won't have the chance to avenge my brother, and Xiangjun camp will expand its troops.
I will naturally go to the school for the exam."
Jiang Xian looked unconvinced and said in surprise: "You want to go in person? You must not do it. Ah Ying, I will reorganize the Qingzi camp and count out a few elite representatives for Ji Yu to take there. As for you, you are still staying here.
In the house."
When Jiang Yingnian heard this, he immediately became anxious.
"Oh, second brother! I know you don't believe in my kung fu, so I will naturally bring Han Xu with me. Don't you trust Guan Jiyu to take the Qingziying brothers to Beizhong? Don't forget, she
My old master is in Beizhong."
Jiang Xian said: "Ah Ying, I know you have opinions about Ji Yu because of the death of eldest brother, but after all, she is the person that eldest brother has always valued, and she was also injured this time. What's more, she is only seventeen years old, so she is still young.
There won’t be too many cities.”
Jiang Xian coughed a few times, stroked his heart and said, "Ah Ying, you are too worried."
