Chapter 42: Like a sun extinguished (additional update for the monthly ticket of 16,000!)(1/2)
As soon as Qu Shunhua got into the carriage, he saw the handsome Zuo Guangshu. The gentle and smiling man next to him also came into view.
Wearing an outstanding green shirt, sitting next to the young master of Dachu, he is not less elegant at all.
Qu Shunhua did a lot of things like getting into carriages and climbing through windows.
Not only herself, but also Zuo Guangshu is very used to it.
But it would be a little embarrassing if outsiders bumped into me.
After all, she is our daughter, a lady from a famous family!
The Qu family has a thousand-year-old family, and she, Qu Shunhua, is a genius of the generation... How can this word "shame" be so bad?
At this moment.
Zuo Guangshu leaned against the back wall of the carriage, Jiang Wang leaned against the window, and Qu Shunhua half-bowed at the door, holding the curtain with one hand, and the smile on his face solidified.
None of the three people spoke.
Qu Shunhua remained silent because he was embarrassed.
Zuo Guangshu was silent because while he was embarrassed, he had not thought about how to introduce Qu Shunhua to Jiang Wang. Friend? Sister of the Qu family?
Jiang Wang was silent because he didn't know what she wanted to do when she got into the carriage, or how she and Zuo Guangshu usually got along... maybe they just gave her a high five and left?
The carriage fell into an eerie silence.
"Here we come!" Jiang Wang spoke first.
He was not a person who was good at dancing, but now he was in front of his younger brother. At such an embarrassing moment, as the elder brother, he had to hold up the scene, so he reluctantly spoke out bravely...
Although this opening statement was a bit confusing, it finally broke the awkward silence.
Qu Shunhua reluctantly said: "Here we come."
"Qu Shunhua, right?" Jiang Wang asked.
"You know me?" Qu Shunhua raised his eyebrows.
It's not hard to guess.
So far, the only girl Zuo Guangshu has mentioned to him is Qu Shunhua.
I think that with Xiao Guangshu's proud and shy temperament, he didn't have many girls to make friends with. But for someone to be able to break into the young master's carriage directly on the street, regardless of his relationship or status, it was extraordinary.
Except for Qu Shunhua, don’t think about anyone else.
Jiang Wang smiled affectionately: "Xiao Guangshu always talks about you to me!"
These words seemed to break the distance and lighten the atmosphere in the carriage.
A smile broke out on Qu Shunhua's face, he sat down opposite Jiang Wang, and said with a very dignified smile: "How did he mention it?"
As soon as the awkward atmosphere was gone, she sat down like this. This oval-faced beauty suddenly showed her dignified and noble side.
No stage fright, generous and decent.
"What are you talking about!" Zuo Guangshu said in a panic.
Qu Shunhua turned his head and said, "Don't speak yet!"
But then he remembered Jiang Wang's presence and smiled softly: "Let me talk to...Brother Jiang first."
She had also gone to watch the battle at Guanhe Terrace, so she naturally recognized the leader of the Yellow River. Not to mention that Zuo Guangshu always told her about Jiang Wang...
After thinking about it for a moment, she realized that Jiang Wang was invited by Zuo Guangshu to help him in the Mountain and Sea Realm. Having seen Jiang Wang fight with her own eyes, she was naturally happy to see this happen.
But what she was most concerned about at this time was how Xiao Guangshu talked about her behind her back.
Of course, mentioning her often is a good thing, but there is still room for discussion as to how she should be mentioned.
"It's been mentioned so many times that I don't even know where to start." Jiang Wang said without blushing, his heart not beating: "Sometimes it's beautiful and generous, sometimes it's about extraordinary talent, sometimes it's hard to find in the world, sometimes it's lucky.
...My ears are almost numb!"
Qu Shunhua glanced at Zuo Guangshu shyly: "Why are you so unmodest when talking to Brother Jiang? You're so annoying!"
Zuo Guangshujun's face turned red and he wanted to deny it, but he still had reason after all... Denying it now seemed a bit like seeking death.
"I also thought before that this child's words were so exaggerated that he didn't seem to be telling the truth at all. How could there be such a person in the world?" Jiang Wang said in a sincere tone: "I didn't know until I saw you, Miss Qu, today.
He’s already so humble!”
"Hey, this..." Qu Shunhua, who was so majestic in front of Zuo Guangshu, lowered his head shyly: "Brother Jiang, you make me feel embarrassed."
"I have a problem, that is, I can't hold back my inner thoughts." Jiang Wang gave Zuo Guangshu a look that said, "Brother, are you good to me?" and then said with a smile, "Okay, I'll go down and look around first.
Enjoy the night view of Yingcheng. Give you two some space and have a good chat!"
"Hey, Brother Jiang, don't leave." Qu Shunhua said quickly: "I have nothing to do with Guangshu. It's time to leave after we meet him!"
"Besides..." She said with some embarrassment: "We are not married yet, so we are not a young couple. We have just been engaged since we were young..."
Zuo Guangshu's face was so red that he looked like he was about to bleed.
"We have been engaged since we were young, and we are in love with each other, and they are so well matched." Jiang Wang smiled and said, "Isn't it just a matter of time?"
Qu Shunhua's smile became brighter: "Brother Jiang, you are Guangshu's eldest brother, and that is my eldest brother. If you have anything to do in Yingcheng, just come to me!"
He turned back and looked at Zuo Guangshu and said, "You guys have a rest today and let Brother Jiang meet his family. Find a time tomorrow and bring Brother Jiang to Huangliang Terrace, and I will arrange the reception banquet..."
Pushed him again: "Did you hear that?"
Only then did Zuo Guangshu say "Oh".
Qu Shunhua greeted Jiang Wang again: "Brother Jiang, come for a drink tomorrow! I'll leave first now!"
Then he opened the curtain openly and left.
It really comes like thunder and goes like lightning.
Different from the ladies from aristocratic families that Jiang Wang met in Linzi, who were generally dignified and graceful, she had a romantic and unrestrained style of the children of Chu.
The window was still open. Jiang Wang looked out and saw that Qu Shunhua's carriage was parked next to it. It was as luxurious as Zuo Guangshu's. She lowered herself and got in.
"Ah, what a good girl!"
Jiang Wang admired, looked at the carriage that was driving away, and then at Zuo Guangshu.
He looked at Zuo Guangshu and then at the carriage carrying Qu Shunhua away.
Zuo Guangshu's face turned red and he said angrily: "What are you looking at!"
Jiang Wang laughed, but said nothing more.
This little guy is thin-skinned. If he continues to tease me, he might get angry.
…
…
The Huaiguo Duke's Mansion occupies a very large area. In the city of Ying where every inch of land is at a premium, just this area can make one imagine the power of the owner of the mansion.
A pair of red jade lions stand in front of the door, majestic and priceless.
Especially the lion's eyes are full of light, like a living creature.
When the young master of the Zuo family returned to the mansion, the gate of the Duke of Huai's mansion was opened directly, and the guards lined up to greet him.
Jiang Wangcai got off the carriage and saw a beautiful middle-aged woman standing there.
He is dressed plainly, has a dignified manner, and has a noble air between his eyebrows, but he is not overbearing. On the contrary, he gives people a very friendly and gentle feeling.
Zuo Guangshu got off the carriage first, and said very obediently: "Mom, this is Brother Jiang Wang and Jiang Xian who I invited to help with my boxing, the current leader of the Yellow River!"
Xiong Jingyu turned his gaze.
Jiang Wangxian walked forward and saluted: "Jiang Wang, my junior, has met Her Royal Highness the Princess of Chu!"
He had done his homework in advance and knew that Zuo Guangshu's mother was the biological sister of the current Emperor of Chu, titled Princess Yuyun. It would be the most unmistakeable to call her this way.
Looking at the young man with tall body and extraordinary temperament in front of him, Xiong Jingyu's eyes were in a trance for a moment.
Her eldest son also served as the leader of the Yellow River...
But this trance quickly subsided.
Xiong Jingyu said softly: "You and Guangshu are friends, just call me aunt. Thank you for your hard work. You took good care of my family Guangshu in the Taixu Illusion Realm, and now you come all the way to help him."
"Where." Jiang Wangqian said: "In the Taixu Illusion Realm, Guangshu and I help each other and grow together. Furthermore, I myself also yearn for the mountain and sea realm. I received the invitation, which is exactly what I wanted!"
"How are you adapting to the Purgatory of Mountains and Seas?" Xiong Jingyu asked again.
Jiang Wang glanced at Zuo Guangshu and smiled confidently: "Not bad."
Zuo Guangshu seemed very dissatisfied with her mother's question and shouted from the side: "Can the helper I chose be any worse?"
Xiong Jingyu ignored him, and only said to Jiang Wang: "That place is too miserable, and I'm really sorry that I've caused you to suffer along with it. I'm just going to have a good rest at the house these days to recuperate my energy."
"Guangshu is practicing with me. It's not hard, Auntie." Jiang Wang followed the good advice.
Xiong Jingyu said: "Did Guangshu tell you that his grandfather wanted to see you?"
"As I said." Jiang Wang said: "My husband is a hero of our time. I have admired him for a long time!"
