Chapter 45
Zhao Xing woke up very early the next day, or in other words, he couldn't sleep because he tossed and turned last night.

The big bruises in front of him couldn't cover it, and he finally understood why the little girl put so much powder on her face the day she went to Ru Parallel Palace.

Before dawn, some light rain fell, the rain was as moist as silk, mixed with the fragrance of mud and flowers, and wrapped in the cold wind, it rushed towards the face, filled the nasal cavity, and penetrated into the internal organs.

People who understand it shudder, but the fragrance makes people feel comfortable.

This was a day of extreme conflict.

Zhao Xing deliberately changed his body into a straight dress, a gentleman with a dignified appearance, a magnolia orchid and a jade tree.

It is Jiang Wan's favorite color.

On the east side of the front yard of the county prince's mansion, there is a small courtyard dedicated to practicing martial arts.

There is a large open space, and dwarf bamboos are planted on the east side.

Zhao Xing sat in the main hall of the courtyard, the cup of tea was completely cold, he rubbed his hands, feeling stuffy, opened the window halfway, and let the cold wind pour in.

Later, he simply took off his silver fox cloak and put it on the back of the official hat chair.

Yesterday I spoke boldly at my elder brother's place, but since I entered the county prince's mansion today, I have been absent-minded.

How should he ask?

For the first time in his life, Zhao Xing felt at a loss.

For more than ten years, Zhuzhu treated him like an older brother.

She obviously has a second brother as a direct relative, but she has followed him since she was a child, calling her second brother softly and sweetly.

He was used to it, and everyone around them was used to it.

She is fourteen years old, and she will be a big girl who can marry soon, but no one has ever thought that Zhuzhu can marry him too.

How could she think about this herself?

would scare her...

Zhao Xingjian frowned deeply, and there was even a layer of anger between his brows.

It climbed up between the eyebrows from the bottom of my heart.

In fact, he can rely on her ignorance, coax her, and lie to her. Although he is not a good player in matters of love between men and women, he is still much better than her.

But he is not willing to...

Just when Zhao Xing was so erratic, even he couldn't make up his mind, when he raised his eyes, he saw the same big black and blue under Jiang Wan's eyes.

At that time, the first thought that flashed in his mind was that the little girl was really good and listened to him.

I told her last time, don't use powder to deceive yourself and others, she really listened to it.

When Jiang Wan came to see him looking irritable, her heart sank, guessing that he was doing it for a marriage gift.

She rarely saw an expression of impatience on Zhao Xing's face, so she even ignored his clothes today.

She stood at the door, her footsteps were slightly sluggish, and it was difficult for her to even smile for him.

Zhao Xing took a deep breath and slowly got up: "Did you sleep well?"

With her small hand behind her back, Jiang Wan pinched the tiger's mouth in her left hand.

She definitely looked at Zhao Xing and didn't say a word for a long time.

Zhao Xing was hiding something in his heart, and he really didn't know how to talk to her. After being stared at by her for a long time, he took the initiative to turn his eyes away, avoiding her almost scrutinizing gaze.

So Jiang Wan sighed.

Zhao Xing frowned even more: "Unhappy?"

Jiang Wan thought about it almost all night.

There is no way to speak frankly with others, but you can still talk about it with Zhao Xing.

If she said it well and had a softer attitude, he would believe that she didn't say she was willing to marry him out of anger.

But the problem is - because of her layout, some things in this life have been messed up. What happened to others has been forcibly changed. What about Zhao Xing?

She wanted to make amends, wanted to live a good life with Zhao Xing, but suddenly discovered yesterday that maybe God had arranged for her, and Zhao Xingjin also had another lover in his life?
She stayed by Zhao Xing's side to repay his kindness, so she couldn't ruin his good marriage in this life, right?

It was difficult to fall asleep after tossing and turning, and in the middle of the night, bits and pieces of sourness appeared in the tip of her heart, which was suppressed by herself.

Seeing him now, seeing his sad face, Jiang Wan hesitated even more.

She still didn't speak, Zhao Xing finally turned his face and looked at her again.

The little girl's complexion was not very good-looking. Although she was tightly wrapped, the cold wind blew all the way.

Zhao Xing stretched out his hand and put his hand on her forehead, and felt that the temperature was normal before he felt relieved: "If you haven't slept well, you won't practice today, go back and catch up on sleep, or you will feel very uncomfortable all day."

But he didn't mention a word about the marriage.

Jiang Wan's face became even weirder: "Second Brother, is there anything else you want to tell me?"

Zhao Xing squinted at her.

She breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, it was the same in previous lives.She didn't tell, he didn't ask, the two just misunderstood and missed each other.

She thought that she had a deep hatred with him, and he always thought that she was hard-hearted and would be warmed up by him sooner or later.

In the end, it was all for nothing.

Jiang Wan thought, these words, these things, there must be someone who picks his head and explains it first.

It's not that she doesn't know the reason for the bitterness in her heart, but if Zhao Xing is not destined to be with her in this life, she will certainly fulfill his life.

"I heard from my aunt yesterday that officials and saints are going to choose a concubine for my second brother."

Jiang Wan's small face was solemn, and his eyes were even more distant from the ancient well without waves.

I can't see happiness, and I can't see sadness.

She just stood there calmly, asking plainly.

Zhao Xing's heart tightened suddenly.

Her eyes are the most vivid, like deer falling into the mortal world, lively and clean, but now there is a filth in them.

"Yes." He nodded, the impulsiveness burst through his chest, and he kept spilling out, "The queen mother chose a few young ladies with good backgrounds, but I didn't think it would work, so I asked my elder brother to persuade me. Pearl Zhu, I..."

People say that being close to the hometown is timid.

He had no reason to think of the word.

The little girl I watched growing up, suddenly asked him one day, will you marry me, he really...

Jiang Wan had a panoramic view of the entanglements and contradictions in Zhao Xing's eyes, as well as the glimmer of hope hidden in them that was not easy to detect.

Her hanging heart and breath were all relieved at once.

It's great, Zhao Xing is still there, it seems that no matter how many things different from the previous life happened to other people, she and Zhao Xing still have a chance.

It can only be said that God treats her well.

Jiang Wan took half a step forward, getting closer to Zhao Xing.

The distance between the two was so close, she could even feel Zhao Xing's breathing suddenly heavy.

Then she laughed, and changed back to the charming, smart and cunning Jiang Wan: "A little lady who can catch the eyes of saints, no matter her background, appearance, character or talent, she must be worthy of second elder brother. The second elder brother doesn't like such a girl at all, then—"

She prolonged her tone, and when she was about to take another half step, Zhao Xing suddenly realized what she might be doing, and hurriedly took half a step back.

Jiang Wan stood still, no longer pressing forward, just raised his hand slightly, pulled Zhao Xing's wide sleeve, held it in his hand, and then raised his eyes to look at him.

There are small hooks in those eyes, with a blink, one's whole heart can be hooked away.

"Pei Guogong's daughter, Jiang's Awan, the Second Highness thinks, is it okay?"

Zhao Xing heard her voice as crisp as Ying's cry, so said.

 The second elder brother before seeing Zhuzhu: Although I am not a good player, I am better than her

  The second elder brother who was forced back half a step by Zhuzhu's initiative: I am not as good as her! !

  Zhao Yu: Another day when my younger brother is worthless

  Zhao Ran: It's too embarrassing to be molested by a 14-year-old girl
  Second brother:?So can any of you tell me who she learned this from?
  Zhuzhu: hook you, don’t need to learn, I can learn by myself
