The family dinner of the Yin family's brothers and sisters in the yuan family was a treat. The brothers and sisters spoke very interesting, interesting, polite and patient. At that time, the former Emperor asked general Zhaode to go to such a bitter and cold place in the northwest, which was certainly not a good place to go. But when Jiang Yuanping at the table asked about their life in the clouds, there was no resentment or unwillingness in the tone of the brother and sister, but they enjoyed it, as if they were very satisfied with their life.
There are few people who are content and happy in the world, and few people who can enjoy themselves in bitterness. Seeing the satisfaction in the eyes of old lady Jiang and Lu, Jiang Li became more and more silent.
Yin Zhili didn't deliberately close to her, and he was very friendly to her, but he also maintained a polite position, as if he were treating a friend, so that life would not be disgusted. Jiang Li knows this feeling, just like Ye Shijie and Wen Renyao to her, even Yin Zhili can do better and more comfortable than them.
Just the difference between friends and husbands, Jiang Li still understands.
When it was getting late, the Yin family brothers and sisters were going to leave. Jiang Li sent their brother and sister out. When they returned to the late Phoenix hall, only old lady Jiang and Lu were there.
Old lady Jiang waved, "second girl, you come."
Jiang Li walked into the house.
In fact, she knew what Mrs. Jiang was going to say. All the men in the room left, naturally because it was inconvenient to listen to what they were going to say.
Lu Shi looked at Jiang Li and asked happily, "Xiao Li, this prince of the county, when he saw him today, he really deserved his reputation. He was not only born with a talent, but also gentle and polite. He looked like a good child, mom, don't you think so?"
"The king of Xia County is really good at teaching his children. These children are excellent." Old lady Jiang looked at Jiang Li, "second girl, what kind of person do you think the prince is?"
Jiang Li said faintly, "grandma, what kind of person is the prince's son? Does it have anything to do with me?"
The two people in the room were stunned. Bai Xue and Tong Er standing by the door looked at each other.
Lu Shi coughed softly and said, "Xiao Li, you've always been smart. Why are you confused in this matter? Why does the prince have nothing to do with you, you..." next, she didn't know what to say. There's nothing wrong with eight words. Really speaking, if something goes wrong, wouldn't it delay Jiang Li's reputation in vain?
However, Mr. Jiang saw a clue. Jiang Li is so smart that she can't see the intention of the Jiang family, and she asks like this. It is extremely abnormal. You should know that although Jiang Li is stubborn in her bones, she is at least docile and obedient in appearance on weekdays, and her happiness and anger are not in her face. Even in no matter how bad the situation is, she can be calm and smiling. Old lady Jiang is interested in Jiang Li's calm.
Today, she didn't even have a gentle smile on the surface, and almost clearly resisted.
Why is this?
Old lady Jiang asked in a warm voice, "then, second girl, what do you think is wrong with the prince's son?"
"Grandma, as I said, whether the prince is good or not has nothing to do with me, and I don't have to judge him." Jiang Li's tone was still calm, but with an imperceptible coldness, she said: "however, standing at the end of the yuan family, it is not suitable to have too much contact with the Yan family. Your Majesty was already suspicious of the yuan family, and now no one can see the current momentum of the Yan family. Be careful to sail for thousands of years, I still feel that the yuan family should not ask for trouble."
After saying this, Lu Shi was stunned. She said, "Oh, Xiao Li, what you said is too much... How can it be so powerful..." Jiang Yuanping didn't say this to her. She thought Jiang Li was a little alarmist, but looking at Jiang Li didn't look like a liar, she subconsciously believed it a little, so she stopped talking and just looked at old lady Jiang at a loss.
Old lady Jiang looked at Jiang Li deeply for a long time, and then said, "second girl, are you really thinking of the yuan family when you say these words?"
"Grandma doesn't believe it, and I can't help it."
"I'm just afraid you've got a mind you shouldn't have." Lao Fu Jiang is humane.
Jiang Li smiled and didn't refute, which was meaningless. Even if the yuan family really wanted her to marry Yin Zhili, Jiang Li also believed that it should not be hurried to make a statement at this time, at least wait until after Cheng Wang, and see what Yan Zhan's attitude was.
What if... Yin Zhan is the next king?
Jiang Li's heart, I do not know why suddenly came up with such an idea, she was startled by her idea, and quickly suppressed it. Fortunately, no one found what she was thinking.
Old lady Jiang was silent for a moment and said, "go back first."
Jiang Li nodded and turned to leave. Old Mrs. Jiang's voice came from behind. She said, "remember, you are the daughter of the Jiang family. Your surname is Jiang."
Jiang Li's heart cooled again when she heard the words. It seems that in a rich family, you always put the honor of the family first, so your life should be sacrificed. Not to mention what the real Miss Jiang Er would choose, today's Jiang Li is no longer the real Miss Jiang er. If you really want to trace back the daughter surnamed Jiang, Qingcheng Mountain, which was neglected a year ago, died in the cold after falling into the water.
She took Miss Jiang er's body, helped Miss Jiang Er clear away the unwarranted charges, found out the murderer of Ye Zhenzhen, and helped the Ye family get out of trouble. But she doesn't owe the yuan family anything. Naturally, she doesn't have to pay for her life for the yuan family.
Jiang Li turned and walked out of the evening Phoenix hall.
Old lady Jiang looked at her back and sighed softly.
This granddaughter is more stubborn than she thought, probably because Jiang Li didn't completely forgive the misunderstanding and neglect of the yuan family, and she didn't have deep feelings for the yuan family. It seems to think for the sake of the yuan family, just because of her kindness, but with this kindness, the child will definitely not agree to ask her to go through fire and water for the yuan family. She will only turn around and leave, just like now.
Lu asked cautiously: "Mom, doesn't Xiao Li like the prince of the county? I think this prince of the county is really good. Looking at Yanjing City, I can't find a better person than this child. At present, Xiao Li is also at the age of marriage. I think the prince is also very good to Xiao Li. If Xiao Li misses this opportunity, I'm afraid she will be taken first. I'm her aunt, and I can't hurt her? Mom, besides, I see you today Here comes the son of God. He's really a good man, isn't he? Why doesn't she like it? "
"Yes." Old lady Jiang looked far away. "Why doesn't she like it?"
Outside, Jiang Li silently returned to Fangfei garden all the way.
Bai Xue and tong'er didn't dare to make a sound. After the door was closed, tong'er suddenly said, "in fact, it's natural for a girl to dislike that son."
Bai Xue and Jiang Li turned to look at tong'er together.
Tong'er said righteously: "I think the Duke of China treats our girls better, looks better, and has more money than their family. They were still in the clouds before. The Duke of China is from Yanjing. Compared with our girls, of course, the Duke of China is more compatible with our girls." Seeing that Jiang Li didn't make a sound to stop, she became bolder and walked up to Jiang Li and said seriously, "girl, even if the old lady, the second lady, the master, the second master, the second young master and the third young master all think that the prince of the county is good, and if the girl thinks that the Duke of the country is good, she thinks she is weak, and there are slaves, slaves also think that the Duke of the country is good, and there is white snow, white snow, don't you think so?"
Bai Xue nodded hurriedly, "the maid thought the LORD was very good."
The two servant girls were probably afraid of Jiang Li's depression, and then doubted their eyes. They tried hard to prove that Jiang Li's eyes were right, which made Jiang Li dumbfounded.
She can't hide from the people around her. Since tong'er and Bai Xue think so, she is also lazy to correct.
"Not for this reason." Jiang Li Dao.
Tong'er asked, "what's the reason?"
"This Yan Family..." Jiang Li said, "I always think there may be something to hide."
……
In a spacious house in Yanjing City, someone was talking.
The man sitting in the study is now over 40 years old. He is tall and very handsome. His complexion is dark, and he looks powerful, but there is a wonderful elegance, which weakens his valiant temperament. His facial features are distinct and excellent, which is somewhat similar to the young man standing in front of him.
This is Xia Jun Wang, the famous Zhaode general Yin Zhan.
When he speaks, he always smiles with a half smile, and he is also very frank. Patting Yin Zhili on the shoulder, he asked, "Zhili, did you ever see the second miss of the yuan family when you went to the yuan mansion today?"
"Yes." Yan Zhiqing on one side interrupted, "Dad, the second Miss Jiang, we had met a few days ago. At that time, a child fell from their carriage and was saved by me. She also thanked me. Today, she went to the Jiang family and heard that she called herself the second miss. I was also surprised."
"Oh?" Yin Zhan was a little surprised, "have you met? It's fate."
"Isn't it?" Yan Zhiqing said, "people like my brother actually played a whole game of chess with Miss Jiang er. It's amazing. I think this Miss Jiang Er is likely to enter our Yan family."
Yan Zhan smiled, "is it, Li?"
"Miss Jiang's chess skills are very good, and she beats me." Yan Zhili laughed.
"Beat you?" Yin Zhan was surprised, and then smiled and said, "it seems that this second Miss Jiang is really smart. Since she was the first in the six arts school examination, it can be seen that there is no shortage of talent, and she is willing to help strangers who met by chance complain about their grievances, it can be seen that there is courage and chivalry. She just doesn't know her appearance..."
"The appearance is also good," Yin Zhiqing said, "although it's not particularly excellent, it's also good-looking. If your brother likes it, it's OK."
"Love." Yin Zhili stopped her nonsense.
Yan Zhiqing was silent. Yan Zhan looked at Yan Zhili and smiled, as if he had seen Yan Zhili's mind, and Yan Zhili's face was slightly red. Fortunately, Yan Zhiqing on one side had opened his mouth and asked, "Dad, do you know the Duke of Su in Yanjing?"
"Duke Su?" Yin Zhili was stunned and immediately said, "is it Ji Heng, the son of general Jin Wu?"
Yan Zhan's face changed and asked Yan Zhiqing, "what do you ask him to do?"
"I heard someone mention this name in the Jiang family today, and I was just curious. It turned out that the name of Duke Su was Ji Heng. Dad, what kind of person is he? Since he is the son of a general, is he also a general?"
She asked urgently, and Yin Zhan, who had always been patient, did not have a good temper to answer her this time. Instead, he said, "don't ask these things. Instead, how did the yuan family mention Ji Heng? Did the yuan family have any contacts with him?"
Yin Zhili asked, "love, did you really hear it in the yuan family?"
Naturally, Yan Zhiqing can't be said to be what he saw in the street that day. So taking the initiative to inquire about a strange man can't help but attract Yin Zhan's attention. Besides, she thought that Jiang Li himself and Ji Peng walked together, and said that they were not too familiar with Ji Peng, presumably because of the relationship between the Jiang family, Ji Peng and Jiang Li had contacts. In this way, the Jiang family must have something to do with Ji Heng, and Yin Zhan is right to ask. She said, "it's true."
Yan Zhan's face gradually hardened, and after a while, he said to Yan Zhili, "don't worry about these things first, Zhili, you come closer to Miss Jiang Er, and take care of the things you told you before."
Yan Zhili's eyes moved, and then he said, "I know, Dad."
……
Seeing off the Yin family's brothers and sisters in the daytime, Jiang Li couldn't sleep at night.
The idea of the Jiang family is so obvious that Jiang Li has to consider future problems. If Jiang Yuanbai would listen to her, she would naturally persuade the yuan family not to have contact with the Yin family for the time being, so as not to be calculated. But if the yuan family insists on going their own way, Jiang Li is not willing to be tied to the yuan family.
You should know that she is not alone now, and her father xuehuaiyuan. If Jiang Li is also harmed because of the Jiang family, what should Xue Huaiyuan do? It's impossible to say that it will also affect Xue Huaiyuan and the Ye family. Jiang Li thought about it and thought about it, but she didn't feel right. Why don't you go to the mansion at sunrise, confess to Xue Huaiyuan, and then explain to Ye Mingyu that Yan capital is not suitable for staying for a long time, and find another way to live and fly away early. As soon as the matter of Cheng Wang is over, everyone will quickly pack up and run away. It has nothing to do with them to let this head turn upside down and flood Jinshan.
At that time, she took her father and ye Mingyu to travel around the Jianghu, but it was also a wish that Xue Zhao had not fulfilled in those years.
Thinking of Xue Zhao, Jiang Li's heart sank again. Even if she wants to leave, she also wants to bring Xue Zhao back to her hometown and settle down. Otherwise, when she and Xue Huaiyuan leave, Xue Zhao will really stay alone in Yanjing city.
After thinking about it, Jiang Li felt bored in her heart. She simply put on her clothes, stood up and walked to the yard.
The moonlight was like water, and the shadow of the trees was reflected on the bluestone ground, blurred and soft. The wind made the shadows of the trees rustle, the spring breeze at night was still cool, and the chill of winter had not completely subsided.
She walked slowly in the yard. Suddenly, she saw something rustling in the grass beside the flower bed. Jiang Li was stunned. When she came closer, she saw a man squatting on the ground with his back to himself, as if pulling grass, and didn't know what he was doing.
"You..." Jiang Li just said a word, and the man turned around with a thrill. Jiang Li was startled and said, "Zhao Ke?"
"Hey, second miss," Zhao Ke replied, "long time no see."
"Why are you here?" Jiang Li was surprised that Zhao Ke had left the Jiang family a long time ago. Maybe Ji Chen had finished what he was told to do in the Jiang family, or maybe the current Jiang family had no effect on Ji Chen, so naturally there was no need to find someone to follow. So she was surprised to see Zhao Ke suddenly appear in front of her eyes. Jiang Li asked, "what are you doing here in the middle of the night? It's not just to pull weeds here."
Zhao Ke coughed softly, stood up and said, "second lady, your excellency asked me to come and see if anything happened in the first auxiliary house."
"What happened?" Jiang Li wondered, not knowing why, "what's the matter?"
Zhao Ke scratched his head, "I don't know, maybe just let me see if the second young lady is in trouble."
Jiang Li was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "thank you for your kindness." What is this? A lot of care in the dark? Jiang Li can't tell why. She replied, "but nothing special happened. I'm fine, too."
Zhao Ke looked at Jiang Li, looking a little strange, as if he wanted to say something, but it was hard to say. At last, he suddenly sighed and said, "by the way, the adult also said that if Miss Jiang Er didn't fall asleep, she could go to the government house."
Jiang Li was surprised.
"The second young lady doesn't seem to be asleep now, so do you want to go to the government house?"
Jiang Li couldn't laugh or cry, and he downplayed this kind of thing, like going to his own garden, only people from the government. She did have something to ask Ji Heng about the Yin family. But it was also because of the Yin family that she had some concerns in her heart. Jiang Li said to Zhao Ke, "yes, but you should know that general Zhaode returned to Beijing recently and came to the Jiang family today. I don't know the relationship between general Zhaode and your family, but it's always good to be more careful. If we leave the house now, will we be found by Yin Zhan's people?"
Zhao Ke: "second miss, don't worry about this. Yin Zhan hasn't returned to Yanjing for many years, and the paths of Yanjing may not be all clear. The road we take will be enough to cover the second miss and won't be found by anyone. But the second miss's vigilance is really a good thing. With the Yin family, it's best to keep an eye on it."
Zhao Ke usually speaks and does things according to Ji Heng's instructions, and rarely publishes his own opinions. Today is the first time to instruct Jiang Li in his own tone. Jiang Li thought it was very unusual. Almost once again, Ji Chen's goal was Yan Zhan, because even his men knew it.
Ji Heng and Yin Zhan will oppose each other sooner or later. Jiang Li feels a little confused. She can't participate in the past time and knows little about general Zhaode. Therefore, she really can't guess what happened between the government and general Zhaode in the past.
Maybe she can ask a clue tonight.
Thinking like this, Jiang Li nodded and said, "in that case, I want to go to the government. Please."
Zhao Ke said, "don't worry, second lady, come with me."
……
Speaking of it, Jiang Li hasn't set foot in the government for a long time. Before and after being abducted to Huangzhou, she didn't take the initiative to come here, and Ji Heng didn't take the initiative to let her go. Think about it. The last time I was with general Ji Wenyao, they roasted venison in the courtyard of the government, it seemed to be a matter of my previous life.
Zhao Ke drove the carriage to walk at night. He didn't know whether the horse's hooves were wrapped in cloth, and he couldn't hear a sound. Jiang Li guessed that it was to be on guard against someone coming out to check at night, but it wasn't like this in the past. The difference between now and the past is nothing more than a general Zhaode.
Jiang Li became more and more curious. She didn't know what grudges this general Zhaode had with the government. You know, when Yin Zhan went to the northwest, Ji He might not have been born, or he was just a toddler. Naturally, it was impossible to have any disagreement with Ji He. If you think about it, it was mostly with Ji He's father, general Jin Wu's generation.
But Ji Minghan and Yin Zhan are rumored to have a good relationship, aren't they?
Jiang Li had doubts in her heart until the carriage stopped at the gate of the government house. The guard at the door saw Jiang Li, his eyes lit up and grinned at Jiang Li.
The bodyguards of the government are all very good-looking, but they don't talk much at ordinary times. The bodyguard grinned and looked a little silly. Zhao Ke looked down on him and said, "what are you laughing at?"
"Miss Jiang Er hasn't come for a long time." The bodyguard opened the door and said, "please come in."
Jiang Li had a strange feeling in her heart, and Zhao Ke also felt something wrong, but they didn't think much and walked in.
Along the way, I didn't see many servants. After all, it was late at night, and they all went to bed. Not everyone is a servant with a task like Zhao Ke.
When he reached the flower bed, Zhao Ke said, "here we are."
Jiang Li said, "I haven't seen the Lord."
"Over there." Zhao Ke motioned her to look.
At the edge of the flower bed, there was a man. Because he was not standing, and the flowers and plants around him were tall, Jiang Li didn't see it for a while. So she walked a few steps closer and saw Ji Heng half kneeling on the ground, with a shovel in one hand, digging.
Jiang Li was surprised, "how did your adult become a gardener by himself?"
Zhao Ke didn't answer, maybe he didn't know why. Jiang Li thought, this man was on a whim, planting flowers in his yard in the middle of the night. She approached, and Ji Chen was probably afraid that the soil on the ground would stain her clothes. She didn't wear a robe, but only a black lining. Seeing Jiang Li, he laughed and said, "here you are."
"What kind of precious flower is this?" Jiang Li asked, "it's worth planting by the Lord himself."
"It's not a very expensive flower." As he said, he continued to dig the earth. Jiang Li saw that what was lying around him was not a flower seedling, but a tree seedling. I can't see what kind of tree it is, just as tall as a child.
Jiang Li also planted trees in Tongxiang with Xue Huaiyuan and Xue Zhao when she was a child. Therefore, it can be seen at a glance that Ji Heng may have planted trees for the first time. The method is really wrong. The key is that he is still leisurely, as if he doesn't care very much. He plays with it casually, and doesn't know that he will grow old forever.
People's leisure and leisure really happen all the time. Jiang Lishi couldn't look down, rolled up her sleeves and said, "you let go, I'll come."
Ji Heng loosened her hand, and Jiang Li took over the small shovel. She dug faster than Ji Heng, and her actions were familiar. She soon dug a small pit, which was just the size of two tree roots. Ji Heng looked at her with a smile and thought.
"Have you planted trees before?"
"Planted." Jiang Li said, "I planted an apricot tree in the yard with my father, but it was a pity that it died in a few months. Later, I planted a grape, which grew well. In autumn, my father wanted to give these grapes to others."
If the Jiang family were here, they would probably be confused. When did Jiang Li and Jiang Yuanbai plant trees together? Besides, the young lady of the rich family would not do it herself. But in front of him was Ji Heng, who knew that she had been Xue Fangfei. There was no need to hide many things. He understood.
Ji Heng laughed as expected. He said, "interesting."
"I didn't expect that the Lord of the country would be so interested in planting flowers late at night," she suddenly thought of something and turned to ask, "you won't ask me to come at night, just help you plant trees?"
"Why?" Ji Heng said lazily, "I was going to plant it myself, but you seem to be very experienced."
Jiang Li stopped talking. She dug the deep pit, asked Zhao Ke to get a pot of cold water, poured a little water into the pit, and asked Ji Heng to hold the sapling with her and put it in the pit to straighten it before filling the soil.
Wen Ji didn't know when he also came to the yard. Looking at Ji Heng and Jiang Li, he asked Zhao Ke, "what are adults doing?"
"Plant trees with Miss Jiang er." Zhao Ke hugged his arm and said, "Miss Jiang Er is really capable. Look at the way she grows trees, she is more familiar than you and I. she is not uncomfortable at all. Do you think we are too incompetent, or Miss Jiang Er is too strange?"
Wen Ji doesn't speak.
In the flower bed, Ji Heng filled the last piece of soil and asked Jiang Li, "is that all right?"
"Water it again." Jiang Li said.
She took the kettle and poured it again carefully and leisurely. She was sure to pour all the saplings through. Then she put down the kettle and said, "that's good."
At night, her forehead exuded blood and glistening sweat. Planting trees was not an easy thing, and she didn't pretend with a shovel. She really used her strength. She was different from those girls who pretended to be delicate and soft at any time. Although she was very tired, she still insisted on it, which was more vitality than those people.
Ji Heng smiled: "maybe when you grow up, it will grow up."
He was talking about saplings.
Jiang Li turned to look at the sapling. The branches and leaves of the sapling were green, swaying and swaying. It seemed that there was life in a moment. In this colorful flower bed, it was not the brightest one, but it seemed to be the most vibrant one.
Jiang Li looked at it and said, "I just don't know where I was when it grew up."
Ji Xuan looked at her, and the girl's tone was really disappointed. She could still hear some reluctance and confusion, as if she had made a decision to go away immediately. However, before she left, she was a little reluctant.
She turned her head, looked at Ji Heng and said, "now we can talk about the reason why you called me over tonight."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
The family dinner of the Yin family's brothers and sisters in the yuan family was a treat. The brothers and sisters spoke very interesting, interesting, polite and patient. At that time, the former Emperor asked general Zhaode to go to such a bitter and cold place in the northwest, which was certainly not a good place to go.

When it was getting late, the Yin family brothers and sisters were going to leave. Jiang Li sent their brother and sister out. When they returned to the late Phoenix hall, only old lady Jiang and Lu were there.

In fact, she knew what Mrs. Jiang was going to say. All the men in the room left, naturally because it was inconvenient to listen to what they were going to say.
Lu Shi looked at Jiang Li and asked happily, "Xiao Li, this prince of the county, when he saw him today, he really deserved his reputation. He was not only born with a talent, but also gentle and polite. He looked like a good child, mom, don't you think so?"
"The king of Xia County is really good at teaching his children. These children are excellent." Old lady Jiang looked at Jiang Li, "second girl, what kind of person do you think the prince is?"
Jiang Li said faintly, "grandma, what kind of person is the prince's son? Does it have anything to do with me?"
The two people in the room were stunned. Bai Xue and Tong Er standing by the door looked at each other.
Lu Shi coughed softly and said, "Xiao Li, you've always been smart. Why are you confused in this matter? Why does the prince have nothing to do with you, you..." next, she didn't know what to say. There's nothing wrong with eight words. Really speaking, if something goes wrong, wouldn't it delay Jiang Li's reputation in vain?

"Grandma, as I said, whether the prince is good or not has nothing to do with me, and I don't have to judge him."

Be careful to sail for thousands of years, I still feel that the yuan family should not ask for trouble."
After saying this, Lu Shi was stunned. She said, "Oh, Xiao Li, what you said is too much... How can it be so powerful..." Jiang Yuanping didn't say this to her. She thought Jiang Li was a little alarmist, but looking at Jiang Li didn't look like a liar, she subconsciously believed it a little, so she stopped talking and just looked at old lady Jiang at a loss.
Old lady Jiang looked at Jiang Li deeply for a long time, and then said, "second girl, are you really thinking of the yuan family when you say these words?"

What if... Yin Zhan is the next king?
Jiang Li's heart, I do not know why suddenly came up with such an idea, she was startled by her idea, and quickly suppressed it. Fortunately, no one found what she was thinking.
Old lady Jiang was silent for a moment and said, "go back first."
Jiang Li nodded and turned to leave. Old Mrs. Jiang's voice came from behind. She said, "remember, you are the daughter of the Jiang family. Your surname is Jiang."
Jiang Li's heart cooled again when she heard the words. It seems that in a rich family, you always put the honor of the family first, so your life should be sacrificed.

It seems to think for the sake of the yuan family, just because of her kindness, but with this kindness, the child will definitely not agree to ask her to go through fire and water for the yuan family. She will only turn around and leave, just like now.
Lu asked cautiously: "Mom, doesn't Xiao Li like the prince of the county? I think this prince of the county is really good. Looking at Yanjing City, I can't find a better person than this child. At present, Xiao Li is also at the age of marriage. I think the prince is also very good to Xiao Li. If Xiao Li misses this opportunity, I'm afraid she will be taken first. I'm her aunt, and I can't hurt her? Mom, besides, I see you today Here comes the son of God. He's really a good man, isn't he? Why doesn't she like it? "
"Yes." Old lady Jiang looked far away. "Why doesn't she like it?"

Seeing that Jiang Li didn't make a sound to stop, she became bolder and walked up to Jiang Li and said seriously, "girl, even if the old lady, the second lady, the master, the second master, the second young master and the third young master all think that the prince of the county is good, and if the girl thinks that the Duke of the country is good, she thinks she is weak, and there are slaves, slaves also think that the Duke of the country is good, and there is white snow, white snow, don't you think so?"
Bai Xue nodded hurriedly, "the maid thought the LORD was very good."
The two servant girls were probably afraid of Jiang Li's depression, and then doubted their eyes. They tried hard to prove that Jiang Li's eyes were right, which made Jiang Li dumbfounded.
She can't hide from the people around her. Since tong'er and Bai Xue think so, she is also lazy to correct.
"Not for this reason." Jiang Li Dao.
Tong'er asked, "what's the reason?"
"This Yan Family..." Jiang Li said, "I always think there may be something to hide."
……
In a spacious house in Yanjing City, someone was talking.
The man sitting in the study is now over 40 years old. He is tall and very handsome. His complexion is dark, and he looks powerful, but there is a wonderful elegance, which weakens his valiant temperament. His facial features are distinct and excellent, which is somewhat similar to the young man standing in front of him.
This is Xia Jun Wang, the famous Zhaode general Yin Zhan.
When he speaks, he always smiles with a half smile, and he is also very frank. Patting Yin Zhili on the shoulder, he asked, "Zhili, did you ever see the second miss of the yuan family when you went to the yuan mansion today?"
"Yes." Yan Zhiqing on one side interrupted, "Dad, the second Miss Jiang, we had met a few days ago. At that time, a child fell from their carriage and was saved by me. She also thanked me. Today, she went to the Jiang family and heard that she called herself the second miss. I was also surprised."
"Oh?" Yin Zhan was a little surprised, "have you met? It's fate."
"Isn't it?" Yan Zhiqing said, "people like my brother actually played a whole game of chess with Miss Jiang er. It's amazing. I think this Miss Jiang Er is likely to enter our Yan family."
Yan Zhan smiled, "is it, Li?"
"Miss Jiang's chess skills are very good, and she beats me." Yan Zhili laughed.
"Beat you?" Yin Zhan was surprised, and then smiled and said, "it seems that this second Miss Jiang is really smart. Since she was the first in the six arts school examination, it can be seen that there is no shortage of talent, and she is willing to help strangers who met by chance complain about their grievances, it can be seen that there is courage and chivalry. She just doesn't know her appearance..."
"The appearance is also good," Yin Zhiqing said, "although it's not particularly excellent, it's also good-looking. If your brother likes it, it's OK."
"Love." Yin Zhili stopped her nonsense.
Yan Zhiqing was silent. Yan Zhan looked at Yan Zhili and smiled, as if he had seen Yan Zhili's mind, and Yan Zhili's face was slightly red. Fortunately, Yan Zhiqing on one side had opened his mouth and asked, "Dad, do you know the Duke of Su in Yanjing?"
"Duke Su?" Yin Zhili was stunned and immediately said, "is it Ji Heng, the son of general Jin Wu?"
Yan Zhan's face changed and asked Yan Zhiqing, "what do you ask him to do?"
"I heard someone mention this name in the Jiang family today, and I was just curious. It turned out that the name of Duke Su was Ji Heng. Dad, what kind of person is he? Since he is the son of a general, is he also a general?"
She asked urgently, and Yin Zhan, who had always been patient, did not have a good temper to answer her this time. Instead, he said, "don't ask these things. Instead, how did the yuan family mention Ji Heng? Did the yuan family have any contacts with him?"
Yin Zhili asked, "love, did you really hear it in the yuan family?"
Naturally, Yan Zhiqing can't be said to be what he saw in the street that day. So taking the initiative to inquire about a strange man can't help but attract Yin Zhan's attention. Besides, she thought that Jiang Li himself and Ji Peng walked together, and said that they were not too familiar with Ji Peng, presumably because of the relationship between the Jiang family, Ji Peng and Jiang Li had contacts. In this way, the Jiang family must have something to do with Ji Heng, and Yin Zhan is right to ask. She said, "it's true."
Yan Zhan's face gradually hardened, and after a while, he said to Yan Zhili, "don't worry about these things first, Zhili, you come closer to Miss Jiang Er, and take care of the things you told you before."
Yan Zhili's eyes moved, and then he said, "I know, Dad."
……
Seeing off the Yin family's brothers and sisters in the daytime, Jiang Li couldn't sleep at night.
The idea of the Jiang family is so obvious that Jiang Li has to consider future problems. If Jiang Yuanbai would listen to her, she would naturally persuade the yuan family not to have contact with the Yin family for the time being, so as not to be calculated. But if the yuan family insists on going their own way, Jiang Li is not willing to be tied to the yuan family.
You should know that she is not alone now, and her father xuehuaiyuan. If Jiang Li is also harmed because of the Jiang family, what should Xue Huaiyuan do? It's impossible to say that it will also affect Xue Huaiyuan and the Ye family. Jiang Li thought about it and thought about it, but she didn't feel right. Why don't you go to the mansion at sunrise, confess to Xue Huaiyuan, and then explain to Ye Mingyu that Yan capital is not suitable for staying for a long time, and find another way to live and fly away early. As soon as the matter of Cheng Wang is over, everyone will quickly pack up and run away. It has nothing to do with them to let this head turn upside down and flood Jinshan.
At that time, she took her father and ye Mingyu to travel around the Jianghu, but it was also a wish that Xue Zhao had not fulfilled in those years.
Thinking of Xue Zhao, Jiang Li's heart sank again. Even if she wants to leave, she also wants to bring Xue Zhao back to her hometown and settle down. Otherwise, when she and Xue Huaiyuan leave, Xue Zhao will really stay alone in Yanjing city.
After thinking about it, Jiang Li felt bored in her heart. She simply put on her clothes, stood up and walked to the yard.
The moonlight was like water, and the shadow of the trees was reflected on the bluestone ground, blurred and soft. The wind made the shadows of the trees rustle, the spring breeze at night was still cool, and the chill of winter had not completely subsided.
She walked slowly in the yard. Suddenly, she saw something rustling in the grass beside the flower bed. Jiang Li was stunned. When she came closer, she saw a man squatting on the ground with his back to himself, as if pulling grass, and didn't know what he was doing.
"You..." Jiang Li just said a word, and the man turned around with a thrill. Jiang Li was startled and said, "Zhao Ke?"
"Hey, second miss," Zhao Ke replied, "long time no see."
"Why are you here?" Jiang Li was surprised that Zhao Ke had left the Jiang family a long time ago. Maybe Ji Chen had finished what he was told to do in the Jiang family, or maybe the current Jiang family had no effect on Ji Chen, so naturally there was no need to find someone to follow. So she was surprised to see Zhao Ke suddenly appear in front of her eyes. Jiang Li asked, "what are you doing here in the middle of the night? It's not just to pull weeds here."
Zhao Ke coughed softly, stood up and said, "second lady, your excellency asked me to come and see if anything happened in the first auxiliary house."
"What happened?" Jiang Li wondered, not knowing why, "what's the matter?"
Zhao Ke scratched his head, "I don't know, maybe just let me see if the second young lady is in trouble."
Jiang Li was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "thank you for your kindness." What is this? A lot of care in the dark? Jiang Li can't tell why. She replied, "but nothing special happened. I'm fine, too."
Zhao Ke looked at Jiang Li, looking a little strange, as if he wanted to say something, but it was hard to say. At last, he suddenly sighed and said, "by the way, the adult also said that if Miss Jiang Er didn't fall asleep, she could go to the government house."
Jiang Li was surprised.
"The second young lady doesn't seem to be asleep now, so do you want to go to the government house?"
Jiang Li couldn't laugh or cry, and he downplayed this kind of thing, like going to his own garden, only people from the government. She did have something to ask Ji Heng about the Yin family. But it was also because of the Yin family that she had some concerns in her heart. Jiang Li said to Zhao Ke, "yes, but you should know that general Zhaode returned to Beijing recently and came to the Jiang family today. I don't know the relationship between general Zhaode and your family, but it's always good to be more careful. If we leave the house now, will we be found by Yin Zhan's people?"
Zhao Ke: "second miss, don't worry about this. Yin Zhan hasn't returned to Yanjing for many years, and the paths of Yanjing may not be all clear. The road we take will be enough to cover the second miss and won't be found by anyone. But the second miss's vigilance is really a good thing. With the Yin family, it's best to keep an eye on it."
Zhao Ke usually speaks and does things according to Ji Heng's instructions, and rarely publishes his own opinions. Today is the first time to instruct Jiang Li in his own tone. Jiang Li thought it was very unusual. Almost once again, Ji Chen's goal was Yan Zhan, because even his men knew it.
Ji Heng and Yin Zhan will oppose each other sooner or later. Jiang Li feels a little confused. She can't participate in the past time and knows little about general Zhaode. Therefore, she really can't guess what happened between the government and general Zhaode in the past.
Maybe she can ask a clue tonight.
Thinking like this, Jiang Li nodded and said, "in that case, I want to go to the government. Please."
Zhao Ke said, "don't worry, second lady, come with me."
……
Speaking of it, Jiang Li hasn't set foot in the government for a long time. Before and after being abducted to Huangzhou, she didn't take the initiative to come here, and Ji Heng didn't take the initiative to let her go. Think about it. The last time I was with general Ji Wenyao, they roasted venison in the courtyard of the government, it seemed to be a matter of my previous life.
Zhao Ke drove the carriage to walk at night. He didn't know whether the horse's hooves were wrapped in cloth, and he couldn't hear a sound. Jiang Li guessed that it was to be on guard against someone coming out to check at night, but it wasn't like this in the past. The difference between now and the past is nothing more than a general Zhaode.
Jiang Li became more and more curious. She didn't know what grudges this general Zhaode had with the government. You know, when Yin Zhan went to the northwest, Ji He might not have been born, or he was just a toddler. Naturally, it was impossible to have any disagreement with Ji He. If you think about it, it was mostly with Ji He's father, general Jin Wu's generation.
But Ji Minghan and Yin Zhan are rumored to have a good relationship, aren't they?
Jiang Li had doubts in her heart until the carriage stopped at the gate of the government house. The guard at the door saw Jiang Li, his eyes lit up and grinned at Jiang Li.
The bodyguards of the government are all very good-looking, but they don't talk much at ordinary times. The bodyguard grinned and looked a little silly. Zhao Ke looked down on him and said, "what are you laughing at?"
"Miss Jiang Er hasn't come for a long time." The bodyguard opened the door and said, "please come in."
Jiang Li had a strange feeling in her heart, and Zhao Ke also felt something wrong, but they didn't think much and walked in.
Along the way, I didn't see many servants. After all, it was late at night, and they all went to bed. Not everyone is a servant with a task like Zhao Ke.
When he reached the flower bed, Zhao Ke said, "here we are."
Jiang Li said, "I haven't seen the Lord."
"Over there." Zhao Ke motioned her to look.
At the edge of the flower bed, there was a man. Because he was not standing, and the flowers and plants around him were tall, Jiang Li didn't see it for a while. So she walked a few steps closer and saw Ji Heng half kneeling on the ground, with a shovel in one hand, digging.
Jiang Li was surprised, "how did your adult become a gardener by himself?"
Zhao Ke didn't answer, maybe he didn't know why. Jiang Li thought, this man was on a whim, planting flowers in his yard in the middle of the night. She approached, and Ji Chen was probably afraid that the soil on the ground would stain her clothes. She didn't wear a robe, but only a black lining. Seeing Jiang Li, he laughed and said, "here you are."
"What kind of precious flower is this?" Jiang Li asked, "it's worth planting by the Lord himself."
"It's not a very expensive flower." As he said, he continued to dig the earth. Jiang Li saw that what was lying around him was not a flower seedling, but a tree seedling. I can't see what kind of tree it is, just as tall as a child.
Jiang Li also planted trees in Tongxiang with Xue Huaiyuan and Xue Zhao when she was a child. Therefore, it can be seen at a glance that Ji Heng may have planted trees for the first time. The method is really wrong. The key is that he is still leisurely, as if he doesn't care very much. He plays with it casually, and doesn't know that he will grow old forever.
People's leisure and leisure really happen all the time. Jiang Lishi couldn't look down, rolled up her sleeves and said, "you let go, I'll come."
Ji Heng loosened her hand, and Jiang Li took over the small shovel. She dug faster than Ji Heng, and her actions were familiar. She soon dug a small pit, which was just the size of two tree roots. Ji Heng looked at her with a smile and thought.
"Have you planted trees before?"
"Planted." Jiang Li said, "I planted an apricot tree in the yard with my father, but it was a pity that it died in a few months. Later, I planted a grape, which grew well. In autumn, my father wanted to give these grapes to others."
If the Jiang family were here, they would probably be confused. When did Jiang Li and Jiang Yuanbai plant trees together? Besides, the young lady of the rich family would not do it herself. But in front of him was Ji Heng, who knew that she had been Xue Fangfei. There was no need to hide many things. He understood.
Ji Heng laughed as expected. He said, "interesting."
"I didn't expect that the Lord of the country would be so interested in planting flowers late at night," she suddenly thought of something and turned to ask, "you won't ask me to come at night, just help you plant trees?"
"Why?" Ji Heng said lazily, "I was going to plant it myself, but you seem to be very experienced."
Jiang Li stopped talking. She dug the deep pit, asked Zhao Ke to get a pot of cold water, poured a little water into the pit, and asked Ji Heng to hold the sapling with her and put it in the pit to straighten it before filling the soil.
Wen Ji didn't know when he also came to the yard. Looking at Ji Heng and Jiang Li, he asked Zhao Ke, "what are adults doing?"
"Plant trees with Miss Jiang er." Zhao Ke hugged his arm and said, "Miss Jiang Er is really capable. Look at the way she grows trees, she is more familiar than you and I. she is not uncomfortable at all. Do you think we are too incompetent, or Miss Jiang Er is too strange?"
Wen Ji doesn't speak.
In the flower bed, Ji Heng filled the last piece of soil and asked Jiang Li, "is that all right?"
"Water it again." Jiang Li said.
She took the kettle and poured it again carefully and leisurely. She was sure to pour all the saplings through. Then she put down the kettle and said, "that's good."
At night, her forehead exuded blood and glistening sweat. Planting trees was not an easy thing, and she didn't pretend with a shovel. She really used her strength. She was different from those girls who pretended to be delicate and soft at any time. Although she was very tired, she still insisted on it, which was more vitality than those people.
Ji Heng smiled: "maybe when you grow up, it will grow up."
He was talking about saplings.
Jiang Li turned to look at the sapling. The branches and leaves of the sapling were green, swaying and swaying. It seemed that there was life in a moment. In this colorful flower bed, it was not the brightest one, but it seemed to be the most vibrant one.
Jiang Li looked at it and said, "I just don't know where I was when it grew up."
Ji Xuan looked at her, and the girl's tone was really disappointed. She could still hear some reluctance and confusion, as if she had made a decision to go away immediately. However, before she left, she was a little reluctant.
She turned her head, looked at Ji Heng and said, "now we can talk about the reason why you called me over tonight."
The family dinner of the Yin family's brothers and sisters in the yuan family was a treat. The brothers and sisters spoke very interesting, interesting, polite and patient. At that time, the former Emperor asked general Zhaode to go to such a bitter and cold place in the northwest, which was certainly not a good place to go. But when Jiang Yuanping at the table asked about their life in the clouds, there was no resentment or unwillingness in the tone of the brother and sister, but they enjoyed it, as if they were very satisfied with their life.There are few people who are content and happy in the world, and few people who can enjoy themselves in bitterness. Seeing the satisfaction in the eyes of old lady Jiang and Lu, Jiang Li became more and more silent.Yin Zhili didn't deliberately close to her, and he was very friendly to her, but he also maintained a polite position, as if he were treating a friend, so that life would not be disgusted. Jiang Li knows this feeling, just like Ye Shijie and Wen Renyao to her, even Yin Zhili can do better and more comfortable than them.Just the difference between friends and husbands, Jiang Li still understands.When it was getting late, the Yin family brothers and sisters were going to leave. Jiang Li sent their brother and sister out. When they returned to the late Phoenix hall, only old lady Jiang and Lu were there.Old lady Jiang waved, "second girl, you come."Jiang Li walked into the house.In fact, she knew what Mrs. Jiang was going to say. All the men in the room left, naturally because it was inconvenient to listen to what they were going to say.Lu Shi looked at Jiang Li and asked happily, "Xiao Li, this prince of the county, when he saw him today, he really deserved his reputation. He was not only born with a talent, but also gentle and polite. He looked like a good child, mom, don't you think so?""The king of Xia County is really good at teaching his children. These children are excellent." Old lady Jiang looked at Jiang Li, "second girl, what kind of person do you think the prince is?"Jiang Li said faintly, "grandma, what kind of person is the prince's son? Does it have anything to do with me?"The two people in the room were stunned. Bai Xue and Tong Er standing by the door looked at each other.Lu Shi coughed softly and said, "Xiao Li, you've always been smart. Why are you confused in this matter? Why does the prince have nothing to do with you, you..." next, she didn't know what to say. There's nothing wrong with eight words. Really speaking, if something goes wrong, wouldn't it delay Jiang Li's reputation in vain?However, Mr. Jiang saw a clue. Jiang Li is so smart that she can't see the intention of the Jiang family, and she asks like this. It is extremely abnormal. You should know that although Jiang Li is stubborn in her bones, she is at least docile and obedient in appearance on weekdays, and her happiness and anger are not in her face. Even in no matter how bad the situation is, she can be calm and smiling. Old lady Jiang is interested in Jiang Li's calm.Today, she didn't even have a gentle smile on the surface, and almost clearly resisted.Why is this?Old lady Jiang asked in a warm voice, "then, second girl, what do you think is wrong with the prince's son?""Grandma, as I said, whether the prince is good or not has nothing to do with me, and I don't have to judge him." Jiang Li's tone was still calm, but with an imperceptible coldness, she said: "however, standing at the end of the yuan family, it is not suitable to have too much contact with the Yan family. Your Majesty was already suspicious of the yuan family, and now no one can see the current momentum of the Yan family. Be careful to sail for thousands of years, I still feel that the yuan family should not ask for trouble."After saying this, Lu Shi was stunned. She said, "Oh, Xiao Li, what you said is too much... How can it be so powerful..." Jiang Yuanping didn't say this to her. She thought Jiang Li was a little alarmist, but looking at Jiang Li didn't look like a liar, she subconsciously believed it a little, so she stopped talking and just looked at old lady Jiang at a loss.Old lady Jiang looked at Jiang Li deeply for a long time, and then said, "second girl, are you really thinking of the yuan family when you say these words?""Grandma doesn't believe it, and I can't help it.""I'm just afraid you've got a mind you shouldn't have." Lao Fu Jiang is humane.Jiang Li smiled and didn't refute, which was meaningless. Even if the yuan family really wanted her to marry Yin Zhili, Jiang Li also believed that it should not be hurried to make a statement at this time, at least wait until after Cheng Wang, and see what Yan Zhan's attitude was.What if... Yin Zhan is the next king?Jiang Li's heart, I do not know why suddenly came up with such an idea, she was startled by her idea, and quickly suppressed it. Fortunately, no one found what she was thinking.Old lady Jiang was silent for a moment and said, "go back first."Jiang Li nodded and turned to leave. Old Mrs. Jiang's voice came from behind. She said, "remember, you are the daughter of the Jiang family. Your surname is Jiang."Jiang Li's heart cooled again when she heard the words. It seems that in a rich family, you always put the honor of the family first, so your life should be sacrificed. Not to mention what the real Miss Jiang Er would choose, today's Jiang Li is no longer the real Miss Jiang er. If you really want to trace back the daughter surnamed Jiang, Qingcheng Mountain, which was neglected a year ago, died in the cold after falling into the water.She took Miss Jiang er's body, helped Miss Jiang Er clear away the unwarranted charges, found out the murderer of Ye Zhenzhen, and helped the Ye family get out of trouble. But she doesn't owe the yuan family anything. Naturally, she doesn't have to pay for her life for the yuan family.Jiang Li turned and walked out of the evening Phoenix hall.Old lady Jiang looked at her back and sighed softly.This granddaughter is more stubborn than she thought, probably because Jiang Li didn't completely forgive the misunderstanding and neglect of the yuan family, and she didn't have deep feelings for the yuan family. It seems to think for the sake of the yuan family, just because of her kindness, but with this kindness, the child will definitely not agree to ask her to go through fire and water for the yuan family. She will only turn around and leave, just like now.Lu asked cautiously: "Mom, doesn't Xiao Li like the prince of the county? I think this prince of the county is really good. Looking at Yanjing City, I can't find a better person than this child. At present, Xiao Li is also at the age of marriage. I think the prince is also very good to Xiao Li. If Xiao Li misses this opportunity, I'm afraid she will be taken first. I'm her aunt, and I can't hurt her? Mom, besides, I see you today Here comes the son of God. He's really a good man, isn't he? Why doesn't she like it? ""Yes." Old lady Jiang looked far away. "Why doesn't she like it?"Outside, Jiang Li silently returned to Fangfei garden all the way.Bai Xue and tong'er didn't dare to make a sound. After the door was closed, tong'er suddenly said, "in fact, it's natural for a girl to dislike that son."Bai Xue and Jiang Li turned to look at tong'er together.Tong'er said righteously: "I think the Duke of China treats our girls better, looks better, and has more money than their family. They were still in the clouds before. The Duke of China is from Yanjing. Compared with our girls, of course, the Duke of China is more compatible with our girls." Seeing that Jiang Li didn't make a sound to stop, she became bolder and walked up to Jiang Li and said seriously, "girl, even if the old lady, the second lady, the master, the second master, the second young master and the third young master all think that the prince of the county is good, and if the girl thinks that the Duke of the country is good, she thinks she is weak, and there are slaves, slaves also think that the Duke of the country is good, and there is white snow, white snow, don't you think so?"Bai Xue nodded hurriedly, "the maid thought the LORD was very good."The two servant girls were probably afraid of Jiang Li's depression, and then doubted their eyes. They tried hard to prove that Jiang Li's eyes were right, which made Jiang Li dumbfounded.She can't hide from the people around her. Since tong'er and Bai Xue think so, she is also lazy to correct."Not for this reason." Jiang Li Dao.Tong'er asked, "what's the reason?""This Yan Family..." Jiang Li said, "I always think there may be something to hide."In a spacious house in Yanjing City, someone was talking.The man sitting in the study is now over 40 years old. He is tall and very handsome. His complexion is dark, and he looks powerful, but there is a wonderful elegance, which weakens his valiant temperament.

Jiang Li was surprised that Zhao Ke had left the Jiang family a long time ago. Maybe Ji Chen had finished what he was told to do in the Jiang family, or maybe the current Jiang family had no effect on Ji Chen, so naturally there was no need to find someone to follow. So she was surprised to see Zhao Ke suddenly appear in front of her eyes. Jiang Li asked, "what are you doing here in the middle of the night?

Jiang Li wondered, not knowing why, "what's the matter?"Zhao Ke scratched his head, "I don't know, maybe just let me see if the second young lady is in trouble."Jiang Li was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "thank you for your kindness." What is this? A lot of care in the dark? Jiang Li can't tell why. She replied, "but nothing special happened. I'm fine, too."Zhao Ke looked at Jiang Li, looking a little strange, as if he wanted to say something, but it was hard to say. At last, he suddenly sighed and said, "by the way, the adult also said that if Miss Jiang Er didn't fall asleep, she could go to the government house."Jiang Li was surprised."The second young lady doesn't seem to be asleep now, so do you want to go to the government house?"Jiang Li couldn't laugh or cry, and he downplayed this kind of thing, like going to his own garden, only people from the government. She did have something to ask Ji Heng about the Yin family. But it was also because of the Yin family that she had some concerns in her heart. Jiang Li said to Zhao Ke, "yes, but you should know that general Zhaode returned to Beijing recently and came to the Jiang family today. I don't know the relationship between general Zhaode and your family, but it's always good to be more careful. If we leave the house now, will we be found by Yin Zhan's people?"Zhao Ke: "second miss, don't worry about this. Yin Zhan hasn't returned to Yanjing for many years, and the paths of Yanjing may not be all clear. The road we take will be enough to cover the second miss and won't be found by anyone. But the second miss's vigilance is really a good thing. With the Yin family, it's best to keep an eye on it."Zhao Ke usually speaks and does things according to Ji Heng's instructions, and rarely publishes his own opinions. Today is the first time to instruct Jiang Li in his own tone. Jiang Li thought it was very unusual. Almost once again, Ji Chen's goal was Yan Zhan, because even his men knew it.Ji Heng and Yin Zhan will oppose each other sooner or later. Jiang Li feels a little confused. She can't participate in the past time and knows little about general Zhaode. Therefore, she really can't guess what happened between the government and general Zhaode in the past.Maybe she can ask a clue tonight.Thinking like this, Jiang Li nodded and said, "in that case, I want to go to the government. Please."Zhao Ke said, "don't worry, second lady, come with me."Speaking of it, Jiang Li hasn't set foot in the government for a long time. Before and after being abducted to Huangzhou, she didn't take the initiative to come here, and Ji Heng didn't take the initiative to let her go. Think about it. The last time I was with general Ji Wenyao, they roasted venison in the courtyard of the government, it seemed to be a matter of my previous life.Zhao Ke drove the carriage to walk at night. He didn't know whether the horse's hooves were wrapped in cloth, and he couldn't hear a sound. Jiang Li guessed that it was to be on guard against someone coming out to check at night, but it wasn't like this in the past. The difference between now and the past is nothing more than a general Zhaode.Jiang Li became more and more curious. She didn't know what grudges this general Zhaode had with the government. You know, when Yin Zhan went to the northwest, Ji He might not have been born, or he was just a toddler. Naturally, it was impossible to have any disagreement with Ji He. If you think about it, it was mostly with Ji He's father, general Jin Wu's generation.But Ji Minghan and Yin Zhan are rumored to have a good relationship, aren't they?Jiang Li had doubts in her heart until the carriage stopped at the gate of the government house. The guard at the door saw Jiang Li, his eyes lit up and grinned at Jiang Li.The bodyguards of the government are all very good-looking, but they don't talk much at ordinary times. The bodyguard grinned and looked a little silly. Zhao Ke looked down on him and said, "what are you laughing at?""Miss Jiang Er hasn't come for a long time." The bodyguard opened the door and said, "please come in."Jiang Li had a strange feeling in her heart, and Zhao Ke also felt something wrong, but they didn't think much and walked in.Along the way, I didn't see many servants. After all, it was late at night, and they all went to bed. Not everyone is a servant with a task like Zhao Ke.When he reached the flower bed, Zhao Ke said, "here we are."Jiang Li said, "I haven't seen the Lord.""Over there." Zhao Ke motioned her to look.At the edge of the flower bed, there was a man. Because he was not standing, and the flowers and plants around him were tall, Jiang Li didn't see it for a while. So she walked a few steps closer and saw Ji Heng half kneeling on the ground, with a shovel in one hand, digging.Jiang Li was surprised, "how did your adult become a gardener by himself?"Zhao Ke didn't answer, maybe he didn't know why. Jiang Li thought, this man was on a whim, planting flowers in his yard in the middle of the night. She approached, and Ji Chen was probably afraid that the soil on the ground would stain her clothes. She didn't wear a robe, but only a black lining. Seeing Jiang Li, he laughed and said, "here you are.""What kind of precious flower is this?" Jiang Li asked, "it's worth planting by the Lord himself.""It's not a very expensive flower." As he said, he continued to dig the earth. Jiang Li saw that what was lying around him was not a flower seedling, but a tree seedling. I can't see what kind of tree it is, just as tall as a child.Jiang Li also planted trees in Tongxiang with Xue Huaiyuan and Xue Zhao when she was a child. Therefore, it can be seen at a glance that Ji Heng may have planted trees for the first time. The method is really wrong. The key is that he is still leisurely, as if he doesn't care very much. He plays with it casually, and doesn't know that he will grow old forever.People's leisure and leisure really happen all the time. Jiang Lishi couldn't look down, rolled up her sleeves and said, "you let go, I'll come."Ji Heng loosened her hand, and Jiang Li took over the small shovel. She dug faster than Ji Heng, and her actions were familiar. She soon dug a small pit, which was just the size of two tree roots. Ji Heng looked at her with a smile and thought."Have you planted trees before?""Planted." Jiang Li said, "I planted an apricot tree in the yard with my father, but it was a pity that it died in a few months. Later, I planted a grape, which grew well. In autumn, my father wanted to give these grapes to others."If the Jiang family were here, they would probably be confused. When did Jiang Li and Jiang Yuanbai plant trees together? Besides, the young lady of the rich family would not do it herself. But in front of him was Ji Heng, who knew that she had been Xue Fangfei. There was no need to hide many things. He understood.Ji Heng laughed as expected. He said, "interesting.""I didn't expect that the Lord of the country would be so interested in planting flowers late at night," she suddenly thought of something and turned to ask, "you won't ask me to come at night, just help you plant trees?""Why?" Ji Heng said lazily, "I was going to plant it myself, but you seem to be very experienced."Jiang Li stopped talking. She dug the deep pit, asked Zhao Ke to get a pot of cold water, poured a little water into the pit, and asked Ji Heng to hold the sapling with her and put it in the pit to straighten it before filling the soil.Wen Ji didn't know when he also came to the yard. Looking at Ji Heng and Jiang Li, he asked Zhao Ke, "what are adults doing?""Plant trees with Miss Jiang er." Zhao Ke hugged his arm and said, "Miss Jiang Er is really capable. Look at the way she grows trees, she is more familiar than you and I. she is not uncomfortable at all. Do you think we are too incompetent, or Miss Jiang Er is too strange?"Wen Ji doesn't speak.In the flower bed, Ji Heng filled the last piece of soil and asked Jiang Li, "is that all right?""Water it again." Jiang Li said.She took the kettle and poured it again carefully and leisurely. She was sure to pour all the saplings through. Then she put down the kettle and said, "that's good."At night, her forehead exuded blood and glistening sweat. Planting trees was not an easy thing, and she didn't pretend with a shovel. She really used her strength. She was different from those girls who pretended to be delicate and soft at any time. Although she was very tired, she still insisted on it, which was more vitality than those people.Ji Heng smiled: "maybe when you grow up, it will grow up."He was talking about saplings.Jiang Li turned to look at the sapling. The branches and leaves of the sapling were green, swaying and swaying. It seemed that there was life in a moment. In this colorful flower bed, it was not the brightest one, but it seemed to be the most vibrant one.Jiang Li looked at it and said, "I just don't know where I was when it grew up."Ji Xuan looked at her, and the girl's tone was really disappointed. She could still hear some reluctance and confusion, as if she had made a decision to go away immediately. However, before she left, she was a little reluctant.She turned her head, looked at Ji Heng and said, "now we can talk about the reason why you called me over tonight."
