Chapter 308 Jiang Xuan, Let’s Forget It
Xiao Yan failed to get medicine and was scolded by Lu Qiniang.
While sleeping, Xiao Yan felt Lu Qinniang tossing and turning, and couldn't help but smile: "Don't think about it, I'll give you another month to think about it. Go to bed quickly, you're tired after a day."
"A month?" Lu Qiniang inexplicably blurred the focus of the question. "Are you busy with something recently?"
Xiao Yan was very impatient before, and he would bring up this matter every now and then almost every day.
How is it possible that this time it will last for a month?
"Well, something happened." Xiao Yan said, "I won't be back in the evenings for a few days. But Qi Niang, you have to pretend that I'm at home. If the children ask, just say that I left early and came back late, so they didn't see me."
"Why?" Lu Qiniang almost sat up, "Xiao Yan, tell me the truth. I'm a little panicked."
Why did she feel that Xiao Yan and Daya were acting a little strangely recently?
"I urged Daya to hurry up and embroider her dowry. She agreed, but when I came back, she hadn't touched a single stitch." Lu Qiniang said, "You were the same. There were two nights when I got up in the middle of the night to go to the restroom, and you weren't there."
She actually noticed...
But she didn't ask.
"Xiao Yan, are you going to be an official again?" Lu Qiniang asked, "Are you hiding something from me?"
"Not yet," Xiao Yan said. "The Emperor is a little suspicious of me because I used to be close to Prince Yan, but I'm trying to find a solution. Daya might be busy studying lately. She wants to try out the girls' school in April."
"She wants to go? But she's about to get married, so she can't be away for more than a few days. Besides, can she get in? She's only been studying for a few days."
"It doesn't say that married women can't go to school. Since she's interested, let her try."
The construction of the girls' school has begun, and it has become the hottest topic in the capital recently.
And it doesn't matter your background, as long as you pass the exam.
Lu Qiniang said, "Okay, let's give it a try. Erya and Sanya should go and try it together."
"Sanya is a little young, and she hasn't studied much. Erya is so busy making money that she doesn't want to go."
The daughters have distinct personalities.
Lu Qiniang could only respect their personal wishes.
Jiang Xuan's health recovered well, and by the end of March of the lunar calendar, he no longer needed anyone to support him.
The apricot blossoms in the yard were in bloom. Jiang Xuan stood in their shadow, the delicate jade petals brushing against his dark-black temples. A tree of spring clouds was shaking off, and suddenly a wind blew through the treetops, blowing up broken jade all over the ground.
Daya is still reading in the corridor, with her head slightly lowered, and the years are quiet and peaceful.
"Third Uncle, Third Uncle."
Jiang Xuan's knees suddenly sank.
Jiang Zhen, wearing a red silk gown embroidered with gold butterflies and crabapple blossoms, stumbled over and grabbed the corner of his snow-blue robe with his chubby little hands.
She raised her frosted face and reached out for a hug: "Uncle San, hold me."
Jiang Zhen, the youngest daughter of Mrs. Tan, the eldest wife, is only three years old this year and is the happy pill of the whole family.
The nurse hurriedly said: "Miss, Miss, let me hold you, the Third Master is not well yet——"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Xuan had already bent down and held his little niece in his arms, wiping the frosting off the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief. "Did you hide it from your mother again and cry and beg the nanny for candy?"
A face full of doting and tenderness, surprisingly, didn't conflict at all with his tough face.
Daya looked up at them and smiled.
It’s like, it’s like they already have the happiness of a family of three.
"Third Aunt." Jiang Zhen called out crisply.
"Call me Auntie." Jiang Xuan corrected her by tapping her little head.
"Oh, you have to wait until your aunt gets married before you can be called the third aunt. How about she get married today? I like to call her the third aunt." Jiang Zhen said.
Jiang Xuan looked at Daya with a smile that was a bit playful, "Third Uncle is looking forward to it too! But Third Uncle needs to get better soon, otherwise, he won't be able to ride to marry Aunt."
Jiang Zhen came to find Daya.
Daya found a red rope from somewhere and patiently taught her how to do it.
Mottled flower shadows filtered through the diamond-shaped lattice window. Jiang Zhen nestled in Daya's arms, his crabapple-red cuffs touching his goose-yellow spring shirt. His tender white fingers, guided by the slender white fingers, clumsily hooked the red rope.
Jiang Xuan also smiled, walked over and sat next to them, watching quietly.
After a while, Madam Yu had someone bring over a plate of freshly washed cherries. They were crystal clear, with water droplets hanging on them, and looked very tempting.
"Are the cherries so early this year?" Daya asked while feeding Jiang Zhen.
"There's a tree on the farm where my mother got her dowry. For some reason, it ripens ten days to half a month earlier than other trees. My mother treasures it very much and keeps it to give to others so they can enjoy a rare treat. I'm indebted to you today."
Daya smiled.
Madam Yu was a little confused, but she wasn't difficult to get along with.
At least, if the marriage could be successful, she was sure that she could coax Madam Yu into submission.
It’s a pity——
Jiang Zhen stayed here for more than an hour before being coaxed away by the wet nurse.
Before leaving, she didn't forget to lie in the nanny's arms and waved to the two of them, "Third Uncle and Third Aunt, see you later."
She forgot again that she shouldn't shout like that.
"Zhenzhen is very cute." Daya said with a smile.
Jiang Xuan turned his head to look at her, "You too."
Daya's eyebrows moved slightly, and she returned the look with a frank look, but there was a layer of tears in her eyes.
She said, "Jiang Xuan, your family is really good. Your parents are loving, your brothers love each other, and your sisters-in-law get along well."
Jiang Xuan suddenly felt something in his heart, and a heavy feeling came over him.
It was as if something was slowly flowing through the palm of my hand like quicksand.
He forced a smile and said, "Why are you talking about this all of a sudden?"
"Because I really don't want to." Daya said, "Jiang Xuan, let's forget about our marriage."
The bad news came so suddenly that there was no warning at all.
Clearly, just a moment ago, they were laughing and playing together, teasing Jiang Zhen and chatting happily.
Jiang Xuan was speechless for a long time.
It’s not that I don’t want to speak, but my throat feels like it’s clogged with cotton.
He finally spoke with difficulty, "If you want to cancel the engagement, then I respect you. But Zhaozhao, can you please tell me why? Don't lie to me. No matter what the reason is, it's fine. Even if it's because of my current physical condition. But I don't think that way. Don't make me guess. Just tell me the answer."
"I want to tell you." Daya said calmly, "You and I were together in the beginning because it was to help me hide from the Crown Prince. But I can't hide from Jiang Xuan after all."
I love you openly and unwaveringly.
When leaving, you must also be clear and aware of everything.
Love may leave regrets, but it leaves no doubts.
