As the sun rises, the coolness on the top of the mountain is gradually replaced by heat.
Jiang Ying glanced at his brother's face subconsciously.
Because Mu Wanbai deliberately raised the volume, everyone around her could hear what she said!
The ladies who were good friends with her giggled behind their handkerchiefs and pretended to congratulate her. "Congratulations, Miss Mu! When the wedding is held, we should all take a good look at what the groom looks like."
"Haha, can the groom come? Maybe he has a disability and needs to be carried home in a sedan chair."
Naturally, Mu Zijin was not happy with this. She was so angry that her face turned red. She suddenly stepped forward and slapped the man who had spoken hard in the face before anyone could react.
With full aura, "Shut up! You have no right to interfere in our Mu family's affairs! Even if I, Mu Zijin, want to marry the old man, it must be done by my parents and the matchmaker. You are not my parent, nor the matchmaker, and it is presumptuous to discuss the affairs of my Mu family!"
After being hit, he stood there in a daze, his mouth wide open, unable to recover.
Because they followed Mu Wanbai to bully Mu Zijin more than once or twice. According to her usual temperament, she was timid and would not resist at all. Even if she was angry, she would just look unhappy at most.
But unexpectedly, this time she actually took action directly, catching everyone off guard.
"You...you dare to hit me? Look, I will not let you take both of my hands off!" After being beaten, the girl cried out and asked the accompanying maid Xiao Dian to retaliate against Mu Zijin.
Mu Zijin was also very angry about what she did just now. In addition, she had been close to Jiang Ying these days and had been infected with some female gangster habits, so she taught her a lesson without thinking.
She was surrounded by the other side's two maids, two servants, and guards, and she suddenly felt flustered.
In the Jiang family, except for the old man and the old sisters who went out, the rest were there. Seeing this, they naturally wanted to help Mu Zijin, especially Jiang Yuanchen.
The group was moving forward, and it seemed that they could not catch up. Jiang Yuanyi bent down, picked up a stone and hit a boy's wrist accurately, preventing him from grabbing Mu Zijin's shoulder. At the same time, two girls, one in red and one in purple, got ahead of the Jiang family, squeezed into the group and stood on Mu Zijin's side.
Lu Yanran was full of heroic spirit. She grabbed a maid's hand and swung her hard, almost throwing her to the ground.
Shen Xiaoxiao was even cuter. She scattered a bag full of golden beans on the ground. The maids and guards had never seen such wealth before, so they immediately rushed to the ground and scrambled for them.
In this way, with the two of them protecting Mu Zijin, the latter did not suffer any loss.
In a blink of an eye, Jiang Ying and his two brothers arrived together. Yan Zhuo did not follow to join in the fun. He carried his son to each tent to show off. It was also quite enjoyable to listen to his son's inner thoughts and get some advice.
As soon as Jiang Ying showed up, Shen Xiaoxiao was the first to be excited, "Sister Jiang, thank you so much for last time. If it weren't for you, I might never wake up in this life!"
Shen Xiaoxiao really didn't expect that the elders always said that the capital was full of crises, but it shouldn't be the case that not even a blade of grass could be touched on the mountains outside Beijing, right?
The result is really weird!
He left home vertically and entered the capital horizontally.
If her sister hadn't asked Madam Jiang to treat her by chance, she wouldn't know when she would wake up!
Sleeping grass, Shen Xiaoxiao remember this! When you return home from the capital, you must pick a few more and bring them back to let your relatives and friends in your hometown see them!
"It's just a small favor. You've thanked me many times and given me many gifts. There's no need to be like this." Jiang Ying laughed. This Shen Xiaoxiao was indeed frank, cute and generous.
In essence, he is the same as Jiang Yuanlang.
No wonder they cherished each other in their previous life and should have been together, but Jiang Yuanlang's early death ended this fate.
Seeing Jiang Ying and his brothers coming over, Mu Wanbai and the others stepped back unconsciously, and several of the ladies looked extremely unnatural.
There are both the embarrassment of being caught and the shyness of the girls, with faces turning red and white, and white and blue. It is very exciting.
"Do you know each other?" Jiang Ying looked at Lu Yanran, Mu Zijin and Shen Xiaoxiao who were standing in a formation. Well, don't mention it, these will be her sisters-in-law in the future. Now they are helping each other even before they marry into the Jiang family and become sisters-in-law. After they become sisters-in-law officially, their relationship will definitely be similar.
"Cough cough." Lu Yanran suddenly coughed and unconsciously glanced at Jiang Yuanyi's face.
She was embarrassed to say that she was not familiar with Mu Zijin before. It was Jiang Yuanyi who mentioned it during a chat, saying that his brother, the top scholar, seemed to have a crush on the concubine's daughter of the Mu family. As the legitimate son of the Jiang family, who was also the top scholar, the legitimate daughter of the Mu family was already strong, let alone the concubine's daughter.
However, if Jiang Yuanchen really likes her, he, as the eldest brother, will not object. He even told his future wife to keep an eye on her, as she is Mu Zijin's friend, so he should consider the other person's feelings. When Mu Wanbai and Mu Xiaoxiao want to have a dispute, he will also think twice.
As for Shen Xiaoxiao, it was purely a coincidence, because Lu Yanran had just performed a sword dance in the group, and she saw that the thief liked it and was envious, so she took the initiative to make friends with Lu Yanran.
They originally wanted to go talk to Jiang Ying together, but who knew they would run into Mu Zijin halfway. Thinking of Jiang Yuanyi's entrustment, Lu Yanran naturally would not stand idly by.
"When I see an enemy on the road, I draw my sword to help. Like sister Lu, I hate the fact that the majority bullies the minority. Also, she relies on her status as a legitimate daughter to not take illegitimate children seriously." Shen Xiaoxiao spoke with a clear and pleasant voice. "I heard that Mr. Mu Ge is a senior of the upright school with outstanding character, but I never thought that the legitimate daughter educated by his family would be so superficial.
Even we, a family of merchants, know that we are connected as brothers. No matter how much we quarrel during the day, we still unite to face the outside world at the critical moment. But Miss Mu is so unpleasant in her words and deeds that I can't stand this path anymore!
Why, Miss Mu's marriage is not going well, and Miss Mu and Miss Mu are at odds with each other, but what good can they get?"
If money is involved, Shen Xiaoxiao will do her best!
This is her specialty.
With just a few words, she pointed out Mu Wanbai's meanness. The mother and daughter sold the concubine's daughter together, and even if they benefited from it, they brought it out so blatantly in broad daylight? Aren't you afraid of being tongue-tied?
"Wanbai, I have something to do at home. I'll leave first."
"Wanbai, the hunt will begin soon. I'm going to go see how the brothers are preparing."
Sure enough, Shen Xiaoxiao's fighting power was too strong, and Mu Wanbai and her friends all found excuses to leave.
When she was the only one confronting everyone, Mu Wanbai's face turned pale and her expression was stiff. "This... This is not my decision. Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Wan Bai, your parents chose a family for you. On the surface, it seems normal, but in fact, it is really for your consideration. Who caused your reputation to be ruined by falling into the water before? Your parents just want to find a better family for you. Is that okay?"
Mu Wanbai pressed him with every question, even if it meant risking her life. Jiang Yuanchen would never marry Mu Wanbai. What a joke! She was just a concubine's daughter. She would not be of any help to his future career!
After saying that, she turned around and was about to leave. She didn't want to argue with Jiang Ying and the others because if they had more power, she would definitely suffer.
However, at this moment, Jiang Yuanchen did not hesitate at all, and stepped forward to Mu Wanbai and bowed earnestly at a 90-degree angle, "Ms. Mu, although I did act out of urgency when I rescued you from the water last time, I, Jiang Yuanchen, am willing to take the responsibility. I also mentioned this to Mu and Mu Da before, but they refused to believe it.
Then I will say it again today. I, Jiang Yuanchen, am willing to marry Miss Muru. After the autumn hunt is over, I will ask my grandmother to invite Baoshan to come to my house. By then, I hope Miss Muru will firmly believe in her own heart and not worry about other things. "
Originally, Jiang Yuanchen wanted to go to the Mu family to propose marriage after getting his exam results next spring. This would be legitimate and reasonable, and would also bring honor to Mu Zijin.
But now that things have come to this, it doesn't matter if I make an appointment in advance.
In short, he is very confident in Chunquan.
Jiang Ying finally understood from what he said for a long time that her brother really liked her family, especially the last sentence. It was not that he was reassuring Mu Zijin, but that he wanted Mu Zijin to reassure him, right?
Mu Wanbai clenched her hands into fists, and was so angry that she almost vomited blood. She glared at Jiang Yuanchen and Mu Zijin fiercely before leaving in a rage!
On the high platform outside the main tent in the middle of the venue, Eunuch Huang's shouting was extremely penetrating.
No, it was to gather everyone together to listen to the emperor's speech.
When Jiang Ying turned around, she saw Yan Zhuo holding his son and walking towards her with a smile on his face.
When he got closer, he whispered in her ear, "Ying'er, guess what I just did?"
