Chapter 6 Chapter 6 Sister, you won’t be angry, right?
After the banquet was over, Jiang Wu immediately stood up and walked out, because she really didn't want to stay here for a moment.
When she walked into the room, she saw someone waiting for her under a tree not far away.
He wore a green robe with wide sleeves and had picturesque features, looking like an immortal.
It makes one sigh that the beauty of the whole garden cannot compare to that of one person.
The moment he walked towards her, stepping on the ground full of floating light and gold, Jiang Wu heard her heart beating violently and uncontrollably.
Again and again, the sound was so loud that it seemed as if everyone could hear it, and then he subconsciously denied it. He thought he was here to wait for Shen Tingxue, so how could she become such a self-indulgent person?
She walked over quickly, looked up, and asked, "Why are you here?"
"I thought your party was about to end, so I came to pick you up." The man raised his hand to pick up a petal that had gotten stuck in her hair. "Did anything happen during the party?"
"No." Jiang Wu took a step back and shook her head. These things were hers, so she decided not to bother him with them. Even if she did, he would just think she was useless.
And since it concerns Shen Tingxue, he will definitely stand on Shen Tingxue's side and scold her for being vicious and full of lies. If she doesn't say anything, Xie Ji won't ask any more questions.
Only after getting on the carriage did Jiang Wu notice the new person in it.
"My carriage broke down, so I wanted Master to give me a ride." Shen Tingxue, sitting in the carriage, smiled softly, with a hint of provocation, "Sister Jiang, you shouldn't mind me sitting in the carriage, right?"
"No." The carriage was not hers, so how could she make the decision?
After entering the carriage, Jiang Wu sat in the corner to reduce his presence, but his mind was paying attention to the two people who were talking.
The dream didn't specify when they were together, she only knew that it seemed to be one day. Her husband finally realized that his feelings for Shen Tingxue were beyond the control of even worldly constraints, and he also blamed her for taking his place as his wife.
If he really resented her for taking his place as wife, why did he marry her in the first place?
In the end, it was just because she was a stepping stone for them to test their true love, and I blamed the author of this story for the stupid plot. Since they were in love, why did they have to use an innocent woman to highlight the preciousness of their love?
When Jiang Wu was daydreaming, a cup of tea was handed to her, "It's hot, it's just right to drink a cup of cold tea to calm your mind." The sound of broken jade and falling snow on branches, he had a very beautiful voice.
Shen Tingxue's coquettish voice sounded, "Master poured tea for Sister Jiang, so I want some too. You can't be partial."
Jiang Wu took the tea, took a sip, and found it was sweet.
It wasn't the sweetness in my heart, but the sweetness of sugar cubes added to tea that stimulated my taste buds. In my ears was Shen Tingxue's innocent displeasure, "Master, how could you secretly faint while I was away? Don't you regard Xue'er as your disciple? You said before that Xue'er is your favorite disciple. Could it be that you were lying to me?"
Xie Ji reluctantly withdrew his wrist from being held, "Sit down."
"Master, this is a gift I brought you after my trip. See if you like it." Shen Tingxue, who was scolded, was not annoyed. Instead, she took out the prepared rosewood box and handed it over with a smile. "Originally, I wanted to send it to your house, but when I heard that Master would come to attend the 100-day banquet of the eldest princess's grandson today, I brought it here."
"That's thoughtful." Xie Ji took the gift box without refusing, but put it aside without opening it.
Shen Tingxue said coquettishly in dissatisfaction: "Master, don't you open it and see what I gave you? I know that Master doesn't like to open gifts in front of others, but Sister Jiang is not someone else, so I also want to know whether you like the gift I gave you."
After she finished speaking, she turned her head and looked at Jiang Wu. Even though she was smiling, there was still a look of arrogance in her eyes that looked down on others. "Sister Jiang, aren't you curious about what gift I gave to Master?"
Speaking of curiosity, Jiang Wu was naturally curious, because she remembered that when Xie Ji celebrated his birthday in her dream, Shen Tingxue gave him a bellyband in the gift box that she had worn but not washed.
Afterwards, she stuck out her tongue and apologized coquettishly, "I think the maid put it in the wrong place. Master, you know I am sometimes confused about small things."
After that, the two of them were like dry firewood and a burning passion, not knowing what heaven and earth meant. Even the bellyband was wrapped in his hands after Shen Tingxue returned home, and he was so hot that he imagined he had touched her pretty face.
After Xie Ji opened the box, he saw a small round object forged from black iron lying inside. It looked like a ring but was smaller in size, and there were plum petals carved on the edge.
Shen Tingxue proudly introduced it, "This is called a ring. I know the teacher likes plum blossoms, and the plum blossoms on it are all drawn and designed by me. Originally, I wanted to have a craftsman make it with the blueprint, but then I thought, this is a gift from me to the teacher, so naturally I have to make it myself to make it more valuable and show how much I care about the teacher."
ring.
Jiang Wu knew that her husband and Shen Tingxue in her dream had a pair of rings, which were said to be worn by couples who were engaged. Because of them, they had become popular for a while.
The husband didn't know the meaning of the ring at first, but after he found out, he believed that Shen Tingxue loved him deeply. The ring not only became a token of their love, but also a thing to liven up their relationship.
Because it will appear between the biting lips and teeth, on the slender fingertips stained with moisture, tied at the top with a red rope, accompanied by the low, hoarse gasps he makes when he can no longer suppress his breath.
When Jiang Wu was distracted, Shen Tingxue's voice continued, "Master, please try it on to see if it fits. If it doesn't fit, then my sin will be really great."
Jiang Wu's gaze then fell on the ring. There was never a single ring, but a pair. The female ring should be on Shen Tingxue.
Then her eyes fell on the man holding the ring, or rather, on the exposed, thin wrist bone that looked cold and fragile. She seemed to be afraid to think that such a self-disciplined and prudent old man would hold the ring in his mouth and wander around her body, causing her to tremble.
Xie Ji picked up the ring with his slender bony fingers, but did not put it on as Shen Tingxue expected. Instead, he put it back into the box and closed it. "I like this gift very much. It's thoughtful."
"Master said he likes it, why don't you try it on?" Shen Tingxue was dissatisfied and took his arm and acted coquettishly, "Master doesn't even want to try it, how can I know whether you like it or not."
"Why did the princess insist on my husband wearing that thing called a ring? Does it have any special meaning?" Jiang Wu's puzzled voice interrupted, and even the carriage became a little quieter.
Shen Tingxue raised her head from her arm around her master, with disgust and contempt for her, "There is no special meaning, I just want to see if it is suitable for Master to wear, that's all."
Then she knocked her head in regret and stuck out her tongue in a very innocent way, "Sister Jiang, I forgot to bring you a gift. It's also Master's fault that he didn't remind me. You shouldn't be angry with me or hate me, right?"
"No." Jiang Wu knew that she would not give him a gift, but he was relieved to see that she did not pester him to wear the ring.
But when he was halfway through sighing, his fingertips suddenly tightened and he thought of something.
Why would she stop him? They already had feelings for each other, but they couldn't be together openly because of their relationship as master and disciple. He must have been delighted to receive a ring made by his beloved, and his refusal to wear it was simply because he was worried he couldn't suppress his feelings for her and that she would interfere.
unlucky.
As the carriage stopped, Shen Tingxue left reluctantly, “Master, I’ll go back first. Xue’er will come to visit you again tomorrow.”
Although Shen Tingxue is gone, the rich fragrance she left behind is still there.
Just like Jiang Wu knew, no matter how she tried to stop them, they would still be together in the end.
As the carriage started moving again, Jiang Wu's eyes began to glance at the box containing the ring from time to time.
"Do you like it?" Xie Ji, who was holding the scroll, put down his hand and asked casually.
"No, it's just that it's the first time I've seen a ring, and it feels very strange." The main thing is that she gave it to her husband so openly in front of her, his wife. Doesn't she feel ashamed?
Or do people in that world have no sense of shame?
Xie Ji thought she liked it, and after a moment's hesitation, he said, "If you like it, I'll have someone send one to you tomorrow."
Before Jiang Wu could understand what he meant, the carriage suddenly stopped and the driver's voice came from outside, "Sir, we've arrived."
"Aren't we going back home?" Jiang Wu, who lifted the curtain and walked out, noticed that the carriage was not parked at the door of the mansion.
"Come down."
