A month later, it was almost the New Year. After Jiang Wu sent Mr. Yu away, she couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. She deeply felt that in this month, even her soul had probably been sublimated.
Now that it's the New Year's Eve, Aunt Chen comes to discuss the New Year's gift with her. Logically speaking, she is an unmarried daughter. Although Pingxuanhou Mansion is a Marquis' Mansion, there are not really many relatives, so the New Year's gift is given every year during the New Year.
, and there is no need to prepare too much.
Aunt Chen's visit today was just a formality, and Jiang Wu didn't take it to heart.
Aunt Chen's main purpose was to inquire about Jiang Wu's academic performance this month. On the surface, she came under the order of Pingxuanhou. After all, Pingxuanhou sometimes had a very strange feeling for his daughter.
Concerned, that is to say, on the surface he doesn't care much, but sometimes he will ask a few questions about Jiang Wu's schoolwork.
He couldn't ask Jiang Wu directly, so Aunt Chen took care of it for him.
Therefore, Aunt Chen went out of her way to greet her these days, but this could not cover up the faint gloating on her face when she heard Mr. Yu frankly say that her academic performance was mediocre.
Jiang Xuelan did not have the opportunity to study with Mr. Yu, which made her very angry.
Jiang Wu's patience with Aunt Chen has gradually run out. During this month of confinement, she has become more and more disgusted with the so-called inner house life. It's not about intrigues, but boredom - when she was in Beizhen Fusi, she often
There will be cases, even if she is not responsible for some cases, she can still chat with the school captains and government officials. However, in this deep courtyard, she does not want to go out. If she encounters Jiang Lu when she goes out, she will fall into the water.
It's not easy to explain myself.
She really couldn't figure out who gave her the name Jiang Lu. She knew how to jump into the water all day long.
Outside the door, Mo Hua knocked on the door and came in. He said that other courtyards had begun to post the words "Fu" and asked her if she wanted to post one too. Jiang Wu thought for a while and said casually: "You can play, I will just sleep."
Mo Hua knew that this mistress probably had not celebrated the Spring Festival before, so he would not force her to do it, and happily went out to play with the other girls.
It’s the Chinese New Year again, so fast.
What was I doing during the Chinese New Year last year? Jiang Wu held her chin and thought for a long time before she remembered that during the Chinese New Year last year, a damn criminal killed five people in a row on New Year's Eve, causing her to work overtime until four in the morning that night.
As soon as I got back, before I could get a full night's sleep, I was called up by the director for a meeting.
However, this happens every New Year, and Jiang Wu is used to it.
In the eyes of outsiders, she is the sweet girl of heaven and the recipient of a full scholarship from the Public Security University every year. But only she knows why she is so determined to practice forensic medicine because her parents are both police officers and both work on the job.
Died on duty.
She has planned a path for herself since she was very young. It is very likely that in the future, like her parents, she will die in a fight with a criminal. Unfortunately, she died suddenly before this goal was achieved.
Already.
Speaking of which, the police station had to hold a memorial service for her.
She rested her arms on the back of her head and slowly fell asleep.
As soon as she woke up, it was night. As expected, several red characters with the word "福" were pasted on the window. She stared at it for a while and stretched. Ging Guo opened the door and came in and asked, "Miss, are you awake?"
Want dinner?"
Jiang Wu thought for a while, "No need, I want to go out."
"Go... out?" Bai Guo was stunned and replied: "Today is New Year's Eve, people are already staying at home to watch the New Year's Eve."
Jiang Wu shrugged: "My confinement is over, and I remember that my father should be in the palace today."
Bai Guo saluted and said, "My master, as ordered by the palace early this morning, went to the palace to attend the palace banquet. Chen Yi seems to have just sent a slave to ask you if you want to go to their courtyard."
Jiang Wu shook his head: "Aunt Chen and Jiang Xuelan are deeply in love as mother and daughter. Why should I join in the fun? It's just a scene."
Ging Guo didn't say much, he just lowered his head.
Jiang Wu has made up his mind. Today is New Year's Eve. It is a good day. Since it is a good day, let alone stay in a nasty place.
When going out at this time, the fewer people who know the better, the better. Jiang Wu only asked Ging Guo to change her clothes. Although Ging Guo was not as smart as Mo Hua, she was luckily more simple-minded. She wouldn't even think twice about what she shouldn't have asked herself.
"Miss, it seems like it's going to snow outside."
"Is it snowing?" Jiang Wu stretched out her fingers towards the light blue short coat and changed it to... Fu Heng asked her to put on the black cloak he brought back that day.
Her skin is fair, and the cloak is very wide, which makes her small body look very cute.
Bai Guo looked at the cloak, paused and then said: "Girls' cloaks seem to be...this style."
Jiang Wu blinked and recalled that he actually didn't buy them all by himself, but by Fu Heng.
Sometimes, she would wear less when she went out. If Fu Heng saw it, he would give her his cloak. Over time, she got used to it and didn't even think about returning it. Over time, she already had four or five pieces here.
At first glance, Fu Heng's cloak looked similar in style. Anyway, it was all black, so she couldn't tell the difference.
It's just a little too big, so I think I'll have to find a tailor to change it some other time.
Indeed, even so, she never thought of giving one back to Fu Heng - anyway, Fu Heng's family was rich and he would not argue with her about a cloak.
The candlelight danced, and the figure reflected on the screen lowered his head slightly, with broken hair hanging casually on the side of his forehead, a straight tip of his nose, and a delicate chin. He looked as beautiful as a picture.
After everything was ready, Jiang Wu told Bai Guo not to tell anyone except the four maids that she was out.
Ginkgo nodded.
Jiang Wu's confinement has been lifted, so if she wants to go out, the concierge will not stop her. In addition, Jiang Wu's treatment of servants last time was obviously effective, so the concierge did not dare to embarrass her, and even asked her if she wanted to prepare a car.
.
"No need." The cool air hit his mouth and nose, and Jiang Wu felt refreshed, "I'll just walk."
The porter said uneasily: "Miss, I heard that things have not been very peaceful recently. Miss, you should ask me to prepare a carriage for you. Otherwise, if the master finds out and blames me, we will not be able to bear the burden of walking around."
Already."
Jiang Wu frowned: "It's not peaceful? What's going on?"
The concierge sighed and said: "The eldest lady doesn't know something. Recently, a murderer appeared in this city. He specializes in killing women in red at night. Two or three girls' families have already encountered misfortune. The eldest lady has her own destiny.
Yes, but the little ones really don’t dare to rest assured.”
