Jiang Lu entered the study, first put the hot tea on the table, and then bowed softly: "Father."
Jiang Qingshan looked at his daughter for the first time. Today she was wearing a silver rat coat and a plum-patterned skirt. She had a flowing bun and a white jade hairpin with plum blossoms pinned to her temples. She looked like a fairy descending to earth when she walked.
——This is the impression he has always had on this daughter.
Due to government affairs, he does not go back to his hometown often. Only his mother-in-law reports to him regularly every month about Jiang Lu. This daughter has been proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child, so he does not need to worry about it. This daughter is indeed growing up.
She became what he wanted, she was weak and beautiful. If Jiang Wu hadn't suddenly appeared, this daughter would have been the one he was proud of and the most useful one.
Jiang Lu looked at him and suddenly his eyes turned red: "Father, what sister just said is that she doesn't want to go with me to the lake tour in the afternoon. Now that I am in an awkward position, I'm afraid I won't be able to go this afternoon... It's just that in the afternoon, An Wang
I should go..."
Sure enough, when she mentioned Prince An, Jiang Qingshan's expression softened slightly. He paused and said, "She was just out of anger. Your brother will go there in the afternoon. Just ask him to see you off."
Jiang Lu nodded and suddenly said softly: "I was just outside the door and heard my sister and father arguing. I shouldn't have said anything about this. After all, I am in an awkward position now, but my sister has a straightforward temper and has always had her own way of doing things.
Yes, she is still at home, and my family will not be separated from her anymore, but my sister’s temperament must change.”
Jiang Qingshan sighed and said: "After all, she has been living outside for more than ten years, so it is normal for her to be more straightforward."
Jiang Lu's eyes flashed slightly, and he seemed to say casually: "It's a good thing to be straightforward, but this is the capital. Speaking of which, my daughter has heard some rumors, saying that her sister and the commander of the Jin Yiwei have an unusual relationship, and they are still flirting on the street.
.”
Jiang Qingshan suddenly turned around: "Are you telling the truth?"
Jiang Lu's eyes were full of innocence and confusion: "Does father not know about it at all? That's right. Such a trivial matter will not bother father. It is just some rumors that Fu Heng is very good to his sister. On the street
The two of them were fighting each other. Even now that my sister has recognized her identity, she still goes out to Beizhen Fusi every now and then, claiming to be handling cases, but in fact..."
She raised her eyelids anxiously, but hesitated to speak.
Jiang Qingshan almost fell down with anger. Does Jiang Wu know what she is doing?! Who does she think she is now, and what is Fu Heng's identity? Which one is better, the Duke's Palace or the Princess's Palace?
What's more, Fu Heng is also very eccentric. If Jiang Wu really marries him, I don't know what will happen in the future!
What's more, although the marriage has not yet been finalized, it is already close to ten. If the eldest princess's palace or the Duke's palace comes to interfere again at this time, the matter will be complicated.
He immediately said angrily: "After today, you will be responsible for teaching her etiquette!"
Jiang Lu pursed her lips and said, "Okay, sister's business is the family's business. I will definitely not let down my father's expectations."
As they talked, it was time to leave. At this time, Jiang Lucai suddenly asked: "Father, I... know about what you and your sister just said."
Jiang Qingshan was stunned: "What?"
Jiang Lu lowered his eyes: "In fact, I also knew about my life experience after my sister entered the house. But father, you don't have to worry. I am not my sister. I am not as desperate as her. My father has always been the object of my admiration.
Whether it's for my father, Pingxuanhou Mansion, or myself, I will work hard to fulfill my father's wishes."
Jiang Qingshan was also moved by these words: "She has analyzed the pros and cons so clearly, shouldn't you blame me like her?"
When he said this, he did not consider that Jiang Lu and Jiang Wu were different. Jiang Lu had changed her life in the past ten years, from a concubine to a legitimate daughter, and to a famous wealthy lady in the capital.
But Jiang Wu was not like this. She had been struggling in the market for sixteen years. It was her good luck that got Fu Heng's favor. Otherwise, she would not have died in that bluestone alley. According to the cowardly temperament of the original owner,
I'm afraid I can't stand others poking my spine like that.
Jiang Lucheng said sincerely: "Father is willing to let me have a place to live, so I am very grateful." What she said was both sad and painful. Even Jiang Qingshan was moved for a moment. This daughter was really thinking about it.
For the sake of the Hou Mansion.
He does not need to maintain a good father-daughter or father-son relationship with his children. For him, the thing he cares about most in his life is the glory of the Marquis Mansion, a position he spent half his life to win.
…
The carriage was arranged by the Song family and was very luxurious.
Jiang Wu didn't know how much time had passed, but he heard a shout from the driver outside, and the carriage staggered to a stop. Jiang Wu had already agreed with Song Qi that today was just a companionship, but he still had to pretend to be a little familiar outside.
appearance.
Several maids opened the curtain outside, and Jiang Wu got out of the car first. When she and Song Qi walked to the grassland on the shore, the ladies next to them were all admiring the beautiful scenery, and Jiang Wu and Song Qi... shot each other in unison.
A yawn.
Song Qi: "Why don't you let me practice swordsmanship?"
Jiang Wu nodded: "Why don't I read two more books on medical skills? Let's go further and don't run into us when they are exchanging business blows."
Just thinking about that scene makes me feel so embarrassed that my toes are on the ground.
It is now afternoon, and the blue lake water reflects the pale sky. There are people standing in twos and threes by the lake, some are reciting poems, some are playing the piano, calligraphy and painting. Jiang Wu and Song Qi looked at each other, and then walked to the side in tacit understanding.
went.
Jiang Wu sniffed: "When can we go on this lake tour?"
Song Qi said: "At least we have to wait until dark. The highlight is after dark."
Jiang Wu looked surprised: "It's still several hours before dark, so why are we sitting here so early in the morning? And don't you think they look like that kind of dating corner in the park?"
Song Qi: "Huh? Park? Dating Corner? What is it?"
Jiang Wu paused, "Forget it, it's nothing."
When the two of them were bored on the shore, they heard the boy who was singing outside not far away shouting in a long voice: "Master Fu, the Jinyi Guard, has arrived——"
The chatter and laughter stopped abruptly, and everyone immediately became quiet at this moment. Then the eyes from all over the place gathered together and fell on the person who was approaching through the woods.
Fu Heng's eyes were cold. He was still wearing a black robe today. Although he didn't have much expression on his face, just standing there was eye-catching enough.
The brave official lady wanted to take a step forward, but she didn't expect that Fu Heng didn't stop and didn't even look at the many people. Instead, he went straight towards Jiang and Song who were far away from the crowd.
