Shu Yao wrinkled her nose, feeling that the fragrance seemed a little familiar, she thought for a moment, and said the words she had thought up: "My name is Wei Jiao. I'm recruiting relatives today, is it for you?"

Jiang Zian's smile was slightly bitter, and he sighed and said, "Miss Wei doesn't know something... I didn't intend to get married, and I had no choice but to hold this banquet. My grandfather passed away three years ago, and my grandmother also suffered from a serious illness. It has become more serious recently. Not only was he unable to get out of bed, but his mind became more and more confused, so my father wanted to find a good marriage for my brother and sister, and to make my grandmother happy. I couldn't get away, so I asked my son Ruo to show up for me."

His tone was gentle, his words were sincere, and he didn't seem to be fake.Chun Rui's expression on the side also relaxed a little, and said, "Jiang Langjun, our lady..."

"My lord, my lord! Slow down, my lord!"

The steward's voice was no longer the same as before, full of panic, but he took a step back, the door had already been pushed open, and several people in the courtyard turned their heads.

The young man who broke in suddenly was wearing a black round-neck robe, with handsome features, but a pair of dark eyes were cold and dull, making people daunting.

Jiang Zian seemed suspicious, he took a few steps forward, looked at the steward, "This is..."

"I also think it's strange," Li Mingji's lips curled up into a cold and indifferent smile, "My fiancée was taken to someone else's mansion after just going out for a stroll, what does Jiang Lang mean?"

Chunrui: Wei, fiancee?He is so brave!
The steward didn't expect that things would develop in this direction, so he hurriedly explained to Jiang Zian: "Mr. Da Lang, this is Commander-in-Chief, the imperial envoy sent by His Majesty to tour Yangzhou to the south."

Commander?Officials from the capital?

A look of confusion flashed across Jiang Zian's eyes.That's right, a little lady like Wei Jiao is not something that ordinary people can raise, not to mention that her surname is Wei, he should have thought of it... But at that time in the attic, when he bumped into the clear and clean eyes of the little lady, he suddenly fell in love with her. changed my mind...

Li Mingji's patience was exhausted.It was about Shu Yao, he had no interest in acting at all, so he took the little princess back now.

But the little princess took his hand and laughed "puchi".

"Idiot Li Mingji."

The raised ending sound was a little smug, it was the cute little expression she would show when she felt she was victorious.Li Mingji raised his eyebrows, Shu Yao pulled him, motioned him to bend down, and whispered something in his ear.

Li Mingji was slightly taken aback, and glanced at Jiang Zian, feeling ashamed in his heart.

If he cared about it, it would be chaotic, and he ignored these details.

His gaze was still cold, and he wrapped one hand around Shu Yao's waist in an intimate gesture of absolute possession, "I'm afraid my fiancée and Jiang Lang have some misunderstandings. Jiang Lang, excuse me?"

Chunrui stared closely at Li Mingji's hand: Now that he's not in the capital, Guard Li is getting more and more arrogant, does he dare to do this in front of His Majesty?Why didn't the princess stop him!
Xu didn't expect such an oolong to happen, Jiang Zi'an also kept silent, nodded and said: "Okay. Please come with me, both of you. Uncle Lian, you go out first."

First, he was provoked by this little lady, and then when he met officials from the capital, he almost smashed the door of the Jiang family's house.One must know that in Yangzhou, who would dare to provoke the Jiang family?It's just the people in the capital, they really can't afford to mess with them.

He could only say: "Yes."

Passing through the courtyard, several people walked into the Ming Hall. Jiang Zian picked up the teapot and poured two cups of hot tea for the two of them, "Please sit down."

Shu Yao was tired from walking a long time ago, so she patted Li Mingji's hand to signal him to let go, and sat down by herself.Li Mingji didn't move, and looked at Jiang Zian indifferently, "What does Mrs. Jiang want to do, can I say it now?"

Chunrui, who was just about to pinch Shu Yao's shoulders, was taken aback for a moment, then glanced at Li Mingji in disbelief, Mrs. Jiang?Did he call the wrong person?
Jiang Zian, or Jiang Ziruo's face showed a little bit of astonishment. After a while, she came back to her senses, wiped her face with her sleeve vigorously, wiped off the small mole, deliberately thickened eyebrows, and the powder on her face, and smiled, "" How did Miss Wei find out?"

Shu Yao was waiting for Jiang Ziruo to ask her, she curled her lips after smelling it, "It's incense. You smoked the incense from the goose pear tent, right?"

This is the new fragrance that Shu Yao got to know while visiting Yangzhou city yesterday.Goose pears are pitted and steamed together with agarwood and sandalwood, so that the fragrance has both the sweetness of goose pears and the tranquility of sandalwood, which has the effect of calming the nerves and enlightening one's senses.In addition, the fragrance lasts for a long time, sweet but not vulgar, and it is very popular among women in Yangzhou recently.

Before Miss Jiang came down from the attic, Shu Yao smelled this faint fragrance on her body, and then approached this small courtyard, and smelled the same scent on Jiang Zian.However, ordinary people may not be able to recognize it. Shu Yao was used to seeing rare treasures, rouge and gouache in the palace since she was a child. She has a keen sense of smell and can even smell the blood on Li Mingji's body, so she remembered the smell of incense.

After returning from Dongguan Street, Jiang Ziruo changed his clothes, tied his chest and tied his hair, put on padded boots, and took the medicine that could make his voice hoarse. After some preparations, he came to see Shu Yao, but nothing happened. Think of the stuffing on the incense.

Jiang Ziruo squeezed the center of his brows, and regretted, "Today, I used goose pear balm because I washed and dressed for the running water mat. If I had known this, I wouldn't have wiped it on."

She didn't like the things of those young ladies at first, so she almost went to the attic in a Hu suit, but was persuaded by the maid beside her, so she decided to settle for the next best thing, put on a swirling skirt that was easy to ride on, and applied balm.This attire really didn't suit her.

Chunrui comforted: "You can't say that, it's mainly because you met our lady."

Jiang Ziruo laughed, and apologized to Shu Yao again, "Miss Wei, I really don't intend to get married, and neither does my elder brother. Please don't misunderstand me. This time, I really have no choice but to ask Miss Wei to help you." A favor, I will be rewarded afterward."

Li Mingji didn't speak, just looked at her calmly, those calm black eyes seemed to have the power to understand people's hearts.Thinking of his identity, Jiang Ziruo was silent for a moment, hesitant to speak.

She knew that her words didn't carry much weight. Neither the gentleman nor Mrs. Wei looked like people who were short of money. They might be more powerful than she imagined. How could they put a mere Jiang family in their place? In eyes?She is another woman...

Even Shu Yao could see Jiang Ziruo's complicated mood, "Then where did your brother go? Why do you have to pretend?"

Jiang Ziruo lowered his eyes: "I don't know either."

"The Jiang family started with water transportation. My elder brother and I walked along the docks and canals with my father when we were young. After the floods in the south, my father took the lead in becoming a boatman and became the richest man in Yangzhou by relying on water transportation. The time in Jiangfu was longer, and my elder brother sailed with his father. Last month, my elder brother went north with a fleet alone, and he has not returned yet."
