Chapter 51: Playing with Green Plums around the Bed 12



Lan Xiu didn't quite understand what "a few days" meant. She thought over and over whether she should tell the young lady or the lady about this, but in the end she believed Jiang Yi to some extent.

She also wanted to see what would happen in a few days.

Lan Xiu sat next to Yan Yiming and pulled the quilt for her. Looking at her young lady's appearance, she suddenly felt that it was no wonder that the young master was also attracted to her.

Now Jiang Yi is highly regarded in the mansion, and everyone calls him Young Master every day. Lan Xiu almost forgot that Young Master is not actually Jiang's biological son.

She had never thought about it in this regard before, but now that she knew what the young master was thinking, Lan Xiu couldn't help but look at Jiang Yi from a different perspective. After this look, she felt that, apart from his poor family background, the young master was actually much better than any other young master.

Needless to say, he is good to his own young lady. Lan Xiu doesn't believe that there is any other man in the world who cares about his young lady more than the young master. As for appearance, although Lan Xiu has not met many men, among all the men in the Jiang Mansion, none of them can compare to the young master.

Furthermore, he is talented. He passed the imperial examination and became a scholar at the age of thirteen. Even the master said that he was a rare and talented young man with great intelligence. The young master also worked hard and was many times more diligent than the other young masters in the mansion. I heard from the young lady that next year will be the provincial examination held every three years. The young master plans to take the examination. If he passes, he will become a juren!

Lan Xiu chats with the young lady on weekdays. The young lady said that since ancient times, no one like the young master who has been outstanding since childhood would be mediocre. Most of them are high-ranking officials and famous families. The young master is young now, but who knows what will happen in a few years?

After thinking about it, Lan Xiu actually felt that the young master was no worse than the third son of the county magistrate's family.

The third young master's true background is unknown. Now he seems to like the young lady, but who knows what will happen in the future. The young lady is in poor health and has to take medicine all year round. She is sick from time to time. What if the Jiang family bullies her for a long time?

In this world, apart from the master and his wife, the only other person who can treat the young lady so well is the young master.

Lan Xiu opened the window in a daze, sat for a while and then went out. Xiao Pingguo, who had been holding it in for so long, finally saw that there was no one around, and immediately woke Yan Yiming up from his sleep excitedly.

Yan Yiming was woken up, sighed helplessly, covered his eyes and asked it in a muffled voice, "What did you see when you went out to play..."

Little Apple was bored because Yan Yiming was asleep, and now she couldn't check Jiang Yi's recent situation through the system like before. So she floated out to see what Jiang Yi was doing, and she actually found something interesting.

"The Third Master Jiang was unwilling to give up until he saw you, so he wandered around the back garden for a long time, and happened to run into Jiang Yi." Little Apple found it funny when she said this, "The Third Master Jiang thought Jiang Yi was his future brother-in-law and ran over to talk to him. Before he left, he asked Jiang Yi to give you a hairpin, but Jiang Yi threw him into the lake."

Yan Yiming couldn't help but chuckle into his pillow, "This Mr. Jiang is simply being teased by him."

"Who said it wasn't?" Little Apple sighed, and after a long while she remembered that she hadn't finished speaking and continued, "Hey, later, Jiang Yi came to see you, but you were sleeping, hehe..."

Yan Yiming raised his eyebrows. Xiaopingguo's tone must have been a problem. However, he thought about it and guessed most of it. "Why, are you taking advantage of me?"

"Hehe, it's not cheap. This child is so innocent that he even kisses the corners of the mouth." Little Apple felt sorry, "I thought he would..."

Yan Yiming turned over and glanced at Xiao Pingguo helplessly, "Jiang Yi is not Jian Yuyan, so experienced. Besides, he is still a teenager, so his thoughts are purer."

"Young people's hearts are not pure at all," Little Apple disagreed, "But among the four male protagonists, Jiang Yi is the one with the purest feelings. By the way, Lan Xiu came in just now and saw it, but was sent away by Jiang Yi."

"Just see it, we'll know sooner or later." She got out of bed, put on her shoes, and slowly walked to the dressing table to comb her hair. "Maybe it will be one of these few days."

The host's guess was always right. Jiang Yi said the same thing. Little Apple sighed. She felt a little sleepy after following Jiang Yi for a long time. She turned around and turned off the phone to catch up on her sleep.

Nearly a month had passed since Mrs. Jiang came to the Jiang Mansion. Mrs. Jiang was still a little worried. She heard rumors outside that the young lady of the Jiang family had congenital heart disease. She found an excuse and asked a doctor she trusted to personally diagnose Yan Yiming. The doctor said that it was not congenital heart disease and it would not be a fatal disease as long as she took good care of herself.

Afterwards, Mrs. Jiang came again in person and asked someone to get Yan Yiming's horoscope. In two days, the marriage could be settled.

Everyone in the Jiang family was happy. The Jiang family was in a festive mood because they were going to hold a wedding. Mrs. Jiang had gradually become familiar with Mrs. Jiang over the past few days. The two of them often went to the theater and drank tea together. They always got along very well. Only once did they meet another lady in the theater, and Mrs. Jiang's face suddenly looked a little embarrassed.

Mrs. Jiang really didn't expect to meet the Zhou family together with Mrs. Jiang. Miss Zhou was the daughter-in-law she had chosen for her son. Although she didn't say it explicitly, she knew it very well.

Who would have thought that his son would fall in love with Yan Yiming like a madman.

Mrs. Jiang was feeling a little dazed all the way, always feeling that something was going to happen. When she and her maids passed a stall, an old man with white hair and silver beard suddenly shouted, "Stop."

Mrs. Jiang paused and looked him up and down before realizing that he was a fortune teller.

Mrs. Jiang believed in fate. Seeing him look like an immortal, she felt really flustered and uncomfortable. After thinking for a while, she walked over and asked, "Where did the old gentleman come from?"

"I have no where to go but I just came to congratulate you on the happy event that happened in your mansion recently."

Although the Jiang and Jiang families have almost decided on the marriage, outsiders still don't know about it. Mrs. Jiang's heart moved slightly and she believed it a little, but she still pretended not to know and asked in a low voice, "I don't know where the happiness comes from?"

"It's a happy wedding."

Madam Jiang and the maid looked at each other. Madam Jiang bowed and said she was ashamed. Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she took the paper next to the Yin-Yang master, wrote a few words on it, and handed it to him, "To be honest, sir, it is the son of our family who is getting married. I would like to trouble you to take a look and see if these two horoscopes are compatible."

The Yin-Yang master took the two pieces of paper, compared them, picked up the paper with Yan Yiming's birth characters, looked at it carefully for a moment, and then frowned.

Mrs. Jiang suddenly felt a little uneasy, "Is there anything wrong with this horoscope?"

"This is a premature death," the Yin-Yang master said slowly, "a premature death means a short life. This person's eight characters are all cold, the water is cold and the earth is wet. He is weak and uses seals, but when money breaks the seals, he will die young. His qi is turbid and his spirit is dry. This is a short life. May I ask, madam, does this person suffer from a deficiency disease?"

Mrs. Jiang's expression changed drastically.

Mr. Yin Yang glanced at Mrs. Jiang and continued, "Besides that, this person is born with a wood blood deficiency disease, and this fate is determined by the emperor."

"…What does this mean…"

"Destined to be childless."

There was no more color on Mrs. Jiang's face.

She knew Yan Yiming was weak, but she didn't expect that he wouldn't live long, and most importantly... he was destined to be childless...

Mr. Yin Yang was curious, "I have never seen such a weak destiny, but I wonder where did you get it from?"

Mrs. Jiang put her hand over her heart and spoke bitterly after a long time, "This is my son's destiny."

"This..." Mr. Yin Yang slowly stroked his long beard and said after pondering for a moment, "I calculated that Madam will be very happy in the near future, so maybe Madam has made a mistake about your son's marriage?"

Wrong?

"If I'm not wrong, this must be your son's four pillars. The official star is weak, but the sun star is strong. If there is a wealth star, then there will be a crown star."

If there is a Fortune Star, then there will be a Crown Star. Mrs. Jiang repeated this sentence many times and murmured, "But there are Fortune Stars in more than one place."

"There is a girl in the east, with abundant gold and abundant water. As for the rest, I cannot say more."

There is a girl in the east...

East.

The Jiang family is in the west, not in the east, and there is a daughter of the fortune star in the east. Isn’t that the Zhou family that was chosen for my son before?

Mrs. Jiang left in a daze, so she did not see the Yin-Yang master go up to the teahouse after Mrs. Jiang left. When he reappeared, he was no longer wearing the long robe, and left chatting and laughing with a tall and handsome young man.

When she returned to the Jiang Mansion again, Mrs. Jiang was no longer as enthusiastic as before. Looking at her happy little son, she really didn't know how to start the conversation. She could only talk to Mr. Jiang about the matter at night.

Mr. Jiang was half-believing and half-doubting, but he would rather believe it than not, so he asked someone to go to Zhou's house to secretly inquire about the Zhou girl's horoscope and send it to him for calculation.

The Jiang family had no idea about this.

Many days passed in a blink of an eye, and Mrs. Jiang finally realized that the Jiang family didn't seem to come as often as before. She couldn't help feeling a little puzzled, and sent people to ask, but no one could get the reason.

Everything has its reasons. Mrs. Jiang had sensed something was wrong, but because of the status of the Jiang family, it was not easy for her to ask directly. After listening to Mr. Jiang, she waited patiently for another three days.

But unexpectedly, the next day, the news that Third Master Jiang got drunk and accidentally had an affair with the daughter of the Zhou family spread throughout Luoyang. It was said that there were so many people present that day that there was no time to hide it.

Mrs. Jiang was shocked. Although she was ready to no longer have any connection with the Jiang family, she had never thought of exchanging her son's reputation for it. How...how could such a thing happen!

It was the Jiang family who deceived first, and now, it suddenly became the Jiang family's fault.

Mrs. Jiang fell back on her chair in a daze. Looking at her son who was brought back, she was so angry that she wanted to beat him up, but seeing that he also looked dazed and didn't understand what was going on, she finally retracted the slap.

Forget it. Fortunately, it is the daughter of Zhou family and not someone else. Since it is destiny, I will formally tell the Jiang family and clear myself from it from now on.
