Chapter 011: A Chance Encounter
·
After all, Qiao felt sorry for her son. Because of Jiang Zhengmao's arbitrary decision, she slept in Jiang Miao's Jinxiuwu for five consecutive days. Jiang Zhengmao favored his wife as if she was life, so he naturally couldn't stand such neglect. But every time he came to see Qiao, he would always look cold and cold. Jiang Miao was stuck in the middle, and it was also in a dilemma. She didn't want her mother to be angry with her father, but she couldn't convince herself. Not to mention her mother, she was also angry.
On this day, Jiang Miao practiced the word for a while, and then looked up at him blankly as he saw his father coming again.
Jiang Zhengmao is tall and has the strength of a martial artist because he has been practicing martial arts for many years. However, he is more likely to be weak and elegant.
Jiang Miao felt distressed and said to Jiang Zhengmao: "Mom has gone to Aunt Third." Her attitude is not as close as before.
Jiang Zhengmao looked at his little daughter, with soft eyebrows, walked over, took his daughter's little hand and walked out.
The father and daughter, one tall and one short, one big and one small, walked a few steps in the yard.
Jiang Zhengmao asked, "Miaomiao is also angry with her father?"
"...Hmm." Jiang Miao nodded.
She was just like Qiao, and she was straightforward. She was angry and had nothing to hesitate at all. Maybe her father was angry because her third brother did something wrong to avoid responsibility, while Chen Ningzhi, a girl's house, was a serious matter because her brother broke her appearance. However, there was obviously another solution.
Jiang Miao raised her little face and said, "The third brother is still uncomfortable." Her third brother is careless and can't control her, but she also understands the importance of marriage. It's no wonder she is dissatisfied with it because she is decided for no reason.
Jiang Zhengmao's expression was solemn and he didn't say anything.
Jiang Miao spoke, "Dad, can my daughter go to the Chen family with my third brother tomorrow?"
Jiang Zhengmao never refused his daughter's request. He raised his hand and rubbed his daughter's little head and said, "Okay."
The next day, Jiang Miao and Jiang Chengyan went to the Chen family to apologize.
Jiang Chengyan suffered aggrieved and listless. When he saw Jiang Zhengmao, he just called out "Dad" lightly, and then he had no good expression. If it were normal, Jiang Zhengmao would have been annoyed when he saw his son being so big or small, but Jiang Zhengmao was isolated by the whole family these days and dared not get angry anymore.
Jiang Miao was carried onto the carriage by his elder brother Jiang Chengrang and sat on the cushion with Jiang Chengyan.
She lowered her eyes and looked at the table in front of her with some pastries and a plate of pine nuts.
Jiang Miao knew that the third brother loved to eat pine nuts, so he started peeling it.
Although Jiang Chengyan was sad, the sad mood has naturally improved a lot after several days. Today, this expression was actually specially for Jiang Zhengmao to see. Now he saw his sister peeling pine nuts, and he hurriedly snatched it from his sister's hand and muttered: "Miaomiao wants to eat, the third brother has peeled it for you."
The young boy was so serious and took his head down and started peeling up the pine nuts.
Jiang Miao's peeled several pine nuts reached Jiang Chengyan's mouth and said, "San brother, eat it."
It turned out to be for him.
Jiang Chengyan's movements were very moved and said, "Miaomiao is better, the third brother didn't love you in vain." He ate Matsuko Ren while talking.
Jiang Miao put her hands on her knees and smiled. She just peeled a few pine nuts, which was nothing. Besides, this incident happened because of her. If it hurts the third brother's life, she would never feel at ease in her life.
The brother and sister arrived at Chen's mansion.
After receiving the news, Cai clan cleaned up and immediately came out to meet people.
From a distance, I saw the two handsome and childish boys in the hall wearing dark green robes, full of heroic spirit. Cai knew that the three brothers in the eldest son of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion looked like each other, but only the third son loved green the most. After all, they would be son-in-law in the future. Cai naturally inquired about it these days. Now when he saw it, his mother-in-law liked the son-in-law the more he looked at his son-in-law. As for the little girl next to him, she was born with a neat and delicate double hanging bun, wearing a cherry red embroidered lotus spring shirt, a milky white flower-spread skirt, and a long life lock on her neck. Her face was fair and flawless, extremely delicate.
The Cai family knew that this was the only granddaughter of the Duke Zhenguo Mansion, the treasure of Duke Zhenguo.
The little girl who grew up with all her charms and charms inevitably became coquettish. At this moment, Cai began to worry about it. In the future, this sister-in-law was not easy to get along with. Cai thought for a moment, and then walked in after being reminded by the nanny beside her.
Jiang Chengyan and Jiang Miao called out.
But Jiang Chengyan's face was a little bad.
Cai originally liked this prospective son-in-law, but now he looked a little colder in his face.
Jiang Miao asked: "Is Sister Chen at home today?"
Jiang Miaoren is petite, a small one, and it makes people feel heart-warming. Cai looked down at her slightly, smiled at the corner of her mouth, and said, "Here, I'm having fun with Miss Huo in the yard."
Huo Xuan is the legitimate granddaughter of the Marquis of Pingjin Mansion. She has a noble status. Cai welcomes her daughter to interact with her. Every time Huo Xuan comes, she is polite.
Now that the children are still young, there is nothing to hide from. Cai immediately led the brother and sister to the backyard.
Cai and Chen Wuye live in Cuipingju, and Chen Ningzhi lives with her parents. After all, she is not like Jiang Miao. She has her own yard at a young age. Generally, girls from wealthy families can only have their own yard at the age of eleven or twelve.
Although Cai is a little snobbish, the housekeeper is a good one. Cuiping is managed by her in an orderly manner. The maids and nannies are also very polite.
In the yard, Chen Ningzhi and Huo Xuan were jumping rope together.
The two green maids each held the ends of the rope, Chen Ningzhi and Huo Xuan took turns to jump, with smiles on their faces, as if they were having fun.
Huo Xuan first saw the brothers and sisters of Cai and Jiang Chengyan, and hurriedly stopped. Chen Ningzhi followed Huo Xuan's gaze and smiled when she looked at Cai. The little girl lacked a front teeth, but she was still very cute when she smiled. After seeing Jiang Chengyan, Chen Ningzhi immediately smiled, with a fleshy little face a little unhappy.
Jiang Chengyan was the same. Standing in the distance, looking at Chen Ningzhi, his feet seemed to be stuck to the ground and could not walk immediately.
Jiang Miao had no choice but to follow Cai himself.
Although Huo Xuan knew that it was Jiang Chengyan who hurt Chen Ningzhi, the reasoning girl was still the reasoning girl and did not move to Nujiang Miao for this. When she saw Jiang Miao coming, she called someone enthusiastically.
But Chen Ningzhi's attitude is not so good. Chen Ningzhi has a generous personality and mostly looks like Chen Wuye, but her stubbornness is a bit like Cai's.
Cai smiled and said, "Azhi, you can play with Miss Jiang first, I'll make some delicious food for you." Since the two children have been married, it's a family. Cai naturally wants her daughter to get along well with her future sister-in-law. If she can become a good friend since childhood, then she will be able to marry her in the future. Cai's heart becomes more and more beautiful.
As soon as Cai left, there were only a few children left in the yard.
Jiang Chengyan stood straight under the willow tree not far away, and refused to come no matter what.
Jiang Miao lowered her eyes. Today, she came, so she was not just accompanying her third brother to compensate her.
She raised her little face and said to Chen Ningzhi: "Sister Chen, can I talk to you for a while?"
Huo Xuan is a smart girl. When she heard this, she smiled and went to the bathroom with an excuse.
Chen Ningzhi had a round face, which was rounder than an ordinary girl. Jiang Miao was thin, and it was even more obvious when compared to the two. The wound on Chen Ningzhi's forehead had not healed yet, but it had already scabbed. Looking at it, it was better than Jiang Miao had expected. Jiang Miao knew that her mother had given Jade Skin Ointment. The wound was applied with Jade Skin Ointment every day, and probably wouldn't leave any wounds.
Jiang Miao continued, "I heard from my mother that Sister Chen will marry my third brother in the future." The six-year-old girl's voice was tender and soft, and very pleasant.
Chen Ningzhi was only seven years old, but girls were naturally embarrassed about getting married. They hurriedly lowered their eyes and pouted and muttered, "I won't marry."
Jiang Miao asked, "Sister Chen hates my third brother?"
Chen Ningzhi said bluntly: "Only your third brother's bad temper is half as good as my cousin."
Jiang Miao was stunned when he heard this.
She naturally knew who "far cousin" Chen Ningzhi said was.
Cai Qingyuan is the son of a concubine from the Cai family and is a cousin with Chen Ningzhi. They have a good relationship since childhood. In the previous life, Chen Ningzhi married this cousin Cai Qingyuan. Although she was in the deep boudoir, she still knew some things. Cai despised Cai Qingyuan, a poor scholar, and had no future, and refused to marry her daughter to him. However, Chen Ningzhi was sincere to Cai Qingyuan and later begged Chen Wu. Although Chen Wu obeyed Cai's words on weekdays, she still made the two of them tough for the sake of her daughter's lifelong affairs. Cai was angry for a long time. Because of this, Chen Ningzhi did not love her son-in-law. However, Chen Ningzhi had no regrets when she married Cai Qingyuan. She only knew that the relationship was very good when the two got married. As for the subsequent events, she was no longer there, so naturally it was unknown.
She came today, holding a hint of luck.
Sure enough, although Chen Ningzhi is young, she has liked this cousin since she was a child.
Then this matter will be easy to deal with.
Jiang Miao asked deliberately: "Sister Chen, don't you want to marry my third brother?"
Seeing that Jiang Miao was friendly, Chen Ningzhi began to talk to her with a good attitude. After all, she was a little girl. Although she was angry before, she was also wise. She knew that she could only blame Jiang Chengyan for not venting Nujiang Miao in this matter.
She nodded and said bluntly: "Well, when I grow up, I want to marry my cousin Yuan, but I don't want to marry your brother. But my mother..." Chen Ningzhi was afraid of Cai. She was shocked that day, so she didn't say anything as she saw the parents of both sides verbally making a marriage.
Chen Ningzhi was not stupid and blinked and said, "Miaomiao, are you...what can you do?"
Jiang Miao looked at the little girl with a front teeth in front of her and thought she was so round and beautiful that she was very cute.
But after all, she is always selfish. She doesn't want her third brother to marry a girl she doesn't like in the future. Her father is too tyrannical. If it is not resolved, it will probably become a conflict between her parents. Now Chen Ningzhi hates her third brother, and only one Cai Qingyuan is in her eyes, that's the best.
Jiang Miao said: "If Sister Chen believes in me, just do it according to my method and keep the marriage between you and my brother unsuccessful." After all, the two families only made verbal agreements and had not passed any constitution, so it would be easier to terminate the engagement.
Chen Ningzhi's eyes were bright and happy, but the next moment she was strange: "...really?" Jiang Miao, who is still one year younger than her, could she come up with a way.
Jiang Miao knew that Chen Ningzhi was really unwilling to do so, so she winked at her. Chen Ningzhi held her ears and listened to Jiang Miao's idea, and then stretched her eyebrows and eyes the next moment.
·
After leaving Chen's mansion, Chen Ningzhi personally sent Jiang Miao, but she still ignored Jiang Chengyan beside Jiang Miao.
Cai saw that his daughter and Jiang Miao were having a good time, and he was also happy. Before leaving, he told Jiang Miao that she would come to play often in the future. After seeing someone go, Cai took his daughter's hand and asked while walking, "What did Miss Jiang say to you just now?"
Chen Ningzhi said in a sweet voice: "Miaomiao apologized for her third brother, and said that she would be the next birthday, so I'm going to go."
Cai nodded with a smile and said yes.
On the carriage, Jiang Chengyan had a handsome face drooping, and his heart was confused. He originally didn't like Chen Ningzhi, and thought that she was not only ugly, but also fat, but... Miaomiao seemed to like her very much. Jiang Chengyan held her slightly childish cheeks with both hands, and hesitated a little. Well, if Miaomiao liked it, Chen Ningzhi could actually be settled.
Jiang Miao didn't know what Jiang Chengyan was thinking, and just said that he was unhappy, so he suggested: "Third brother, there is a weapon shop in front of him. Didn't you say you wanted to buy a sword last time? Let's go and have a look?"
Jiang Chengyan wanted to nod, and the next moment he looked at Jiang Miao in confusion, his eyes very clear: "How did Miao Miao know?" He was referring to the weapons store.
Jiang Miao was stunned and smiled and said, "The third brother forgot. He went back to Prince Xuan's Mansion and left this one. I remember it once I saw it."
Jiang Chengyan knew that his sister had the ability to remember everything, so he didn't ask any more questions. He just raised his hand and rubbed his sister's little head and said, "Okay, then let's go and have a look."
The carriage from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion stopped in front of the weapons shop.
Jiang Chengyan hugged his sister down and walked in with his hands.
Jiang Chengyan has been practicing martial arts with Jiang Zhengmao since childhood. Although his martial arts skills are not as talented as his second brother Jiang Chengxu, they are much better than ordinary people. Boys naturally like kung fu. Now, Jiang Chengyan looks at the dazzling array of weapons displayed in the shop and stalked to the wall with a sword hanging.
Jiang Miao looked around and walked to the counter with his short legs.
Jiang Miao is short and naturally cannot see it.
I'm worried.
But the next moment, my body was picked up by someone.
The little man just sat steadily on the other person's shoulders.
Jiang Miao thought it was Jiang Chengyan, and immediately smiled, then looked down at the dagger displayed in front of the cabinet, and at first glance, he caught a dagger about two palms long, inlaid with rubies, and exquisitely crafted.
She raised her hand, picked up the dagger, looked at it carefully, and felt that it was very suitable for her eyes.
At this moment, a voice came from beside him: "...This dagger is not useful."
Um?
Jiang Miao paused her hand holding the dagger, turned her head to look at the person beside her, and when she saw the other party's face as bright as the breeze and moon, her eyes suddenly opened wide.
