221 The Jiang family has a daughter
The Mengyi Stone was pawned by a beggar. The pawnshop owner couldn't tell what kind of stone it was made of, so he put it aside.
Hundreds of years have passed, and the Mengyi Stone has been passed around several times, and finally fell into the hands of an old Taoist with a white beard. Although the old Taoist did not know the function of the Mengyi Stone, he found that the stone could dispel evil spirits, so he kept it with him.
Until Lao Tao traveled to Liang Jing, he met the daughter of a large family who was haunted by evil spirits. He felt pity for the world and could not bear the torture of evil spirits, so he made the Mengyi Stone into a hanging chain and hung it around the girl's neck.
Sure enough, after a while, the evil spirit in the girl's body was expelled. From then on, the little girl's health gradually improved. Seeing that she was safe, the Taoist priest relaxed and continued to wander.
The girl's name was Jiang Ling'er. Ever since she wore the Mengyi Stone, she had never been ill, let alone evil spirits. It wasn't until the Lantern Festival when Jiang Ling'er was fifteen years old that she finally got her father's permission and could go play on the street.
On the night of the Lantern Festival, the lanterns were put on, and the city of Liang Jing was filled with light, just like daytime.
Jiang Ling'er is lively by nature, and she shuttles among the crowd wearing a mask bought from a stall. The servants behind her can't keep up.
Among the crowd, two young men in white clothes walked towards them. Jiang Ling'er was about to run when she accidentally bumped into them and her mask accidentally fell to the ground.
Jiang Ling'er sat on the ground and looked at the two teenagers blankly.
With distant eyebrows, starry eyes, braided teeth, and red lips, she couldn't think of any better words to describe these two young men.
"Girl, girl, are you okay?" The younger boy waved his hand in front of Jiang Ling'er and asked.
Jiang Ling'er wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth with her hand without leaving any trace, and shook her head dreamily.
When the young man saw this, he secretly exclaimed, and turned to ask his brother:
"Brother, what should we do? We seem to have knocked someone stupid."
Fortunately, the Jiang family's servants rushed to the rescue. They apologized profusely, helped Jiang Ling'er up, and were about to drag her away.
Jiang Ling'er was unhappy. She wanted to get acquainted with the two young masters, but she wanted to be harmed by the servant. But she also wanted to show her gentle side in front of the young man and could not scold the servant.
In the end, she had no choice but to leave her name behind the pull of her servants:
"Jiang Ling'er of the Jiang family of Liang Jing, I hope we can meet again in the future!"
The two teenagers laughed and shook their heads. The younger boy seemed to have thought of something, picked up the mask, and played with it in his hand.
On the way back, Jiang Ling'er complained that the servants were ruining her good deeds. The servants also had their own troubles. Mr. Jiang had told him that he must bring the young lady back to his house before Haishi. They were just servants, how could they dare to disobey?
"Oh, with the reputation of our Jiang family in Liang Jing, I dare to walk sideways in the city even at midnight. Who dares to make a mistake?"
Jiang Linger closed her ears and complained.
At home, I always listen to my father nagging me, saying that it is not safe for girls to go wild outside. It is hard to have a lively day, and they have to send people to follow me.
Jiang Ling'er asked the servants: "By the way, which two young masters did you recognize just now?"
She felt that according to the habits of her own servants, it was impossible to be so humble to the common people, bowing and apologizing at the same time.
One of the servants said:
"Miss, you have been staying in the mansion before, so it is normal that you don't know them. The two just now are the third and fourth sons of the Wei family of Liang Jing's Tianlin mansion."
Jiang Ling'er nodded thoughtfully. Although she didn't go out, the Wei family of Tianlin Mansion still knew about it. The Wei family had a high reputation in Liang Jing, and the head of the family, Wei Jiye, was awarded the invincible general by the palace after he defeated the Ling army outside the pass.
title.
This invincible general had four sons and one daughter. His eldest son, Wei Linzi, and his second son, Wei Linbo, often went north on expeditions. Perhaps they inherited their father's crown of bravery and returned home in triumph every time.
The third son Wei Linjue and the fourth son Wei Linggong were still teenagers and had never been on the battlefield.
The servant said that today they met the third and fourth sons of the Wei family, namely Wei Linjue and Wei Linggong. Jiang Ling'er smiled playfully and murmured in a low voice:
"Mr. Wei Lin? I didn't expect that the famous general would become so handsome."
Early the next morning, Jiang Ling'er went to wait at the entrance of Tianlin Mansion. Just as she wished, she met Duke Lin Lin of Wei as he was about to go out.
Duke Lin of Wei thought Jiang Ling'er was here to get the mask, so he asked his servants to get the mask and return it to her.
Unexpectedly, after Jiang Ling'er got the mask back, she still refused to give up. Wei Linggong's heart skipped a beat and he panicked. He thought to himself: "Could this girl have other plans?"
In this way, Jiang Ling'er became Duke Wei Lin's follower all morning, and no matter how hard he moved, he could not get rid of Jiang Ling'er.
On the contrary, it was Jiang Ling'er who followed Wei Lingong alone, chattering as if he had endless things to say.
In the end, Wei Linggong had no choice but to go back to his mansion to escape. He thought that her mask had been taken away and the matter would be over. But what he didn't expect was that the next day, when he walked out of the mansion, Jiang Ling'er's figure appeared in his sight again.
.
"Good morning, Young Master Wei!"
Jiang Ling'er greeted her elegantly and politely. Her face was full of joy, as if she had passed by Tianlin Mansion by chance, and her eyes revealed surprise (surprise)!
Duke Lin of Wei had no choice but to retreat inside and close the door of Tianlin Mansion.
"Eh? Mr. Wei, don't leave!" Seeing Wei Lingong retreating again, Jiang Ling'er hurriedly chased up the steps, but was stopped by two soldiers. She stamped her feet angrily.
From then on, Jiang Ling'er stood at the door of Tianlin Mansion every morning, sometimes squatting when she got tired from standing.
Wei Linggong also avoided this follower from the beginning, and then slowly accepted this follower. He rarely spoke. Every time after Jiang Ling'er finished speaking, he would reply lightly: "Yeah!"
Over time, both of them became accustomed to such exchanges. The first thing Wei Linggong did when he went out every day was to look around to see if Jiang Ling'er was there.
Until one day, there was drizzle in the sky, and Jiang Ling'er, who had gotten up early in the morning, sat under the eaves with her little head propped up in a daze.
After Jiang's father saw it, he called the servant who usually followed Jiang Ling'er and asked, "What's wrong with you girl?"
The servant answered truthfully:
"It's God's fault. In the past month, Miss has been going to Tianlin Mansion every morning to play with the young master of the Wei family. Today happened to be the day we went there, and Miss can't get out."
After hearing this, Jiang's father nodded. The Wei family of Tianlin Mansion was a well-known family. It was not a big deal for the children to communicate with each other. It was just that his daughter looked absent-minded, and it seemed more like she had fallen in love with the young master.
If the other party can fall in love with his own girl, it would be fine, and he would be considered a high achiever. If the other party doesn't like her, he will only suffer from the unrequited love of his daughter.
Thinking of this, Jiang's father sighed heavily. He would have to find a time to mention this matter to General Wei some other day to see how he viewed this issue.
Jiang Ling'er sat under the eaves, seemed to have figured out something, then ran back to the room, took out the oil-paper umbrella and was about to go out.
After Jiang's father saw it, he hurriedly stopped him and scolded:
"It's raining so hard, where are you going? You don't have to worry about getting cold."
Jiang Linger smiled and avoided her father, ran out of the door, then turned back and said:
"Don't worry! I've never been sick even though I've grown up. Besides, I can take care of myself. I'll go to the west of the city and come back."
“You can’t stay in college if you’re a female student!”
Jiang's father hurriedly walked back and forth, mumbling incessantly. Then he called a few servants and asked them to follow Jiang Ling'er closely to ensure that nothing happened.
Jiang Ling'er held up an oil-paper umbrella and ran towards the west of the city. Tianlin Mansion was not in the west of the city. She was going to a training ground in the city. After getting along with Wei Lingong for a month, she knew that Wei Lingong
I go to the training ground three days a week to practice martial arts.
I just don’t know if he will go there if it rains today.
