"The Queen is here? Then hurry back."
When Jiang Ling heard Zhou Ning'an return to the Zhou family and say he wanted to see her, she took Zhou Jing'an's hand and walked out.
How can I let the Queen wait?
A soft hand slipped into Zhou Jing'an's broad palm. He lowered his eyes to take a look, then quietly clenched his hand. He turned around somewhat embarrassedly and said goodbye to Jiang Lianshan and Meng Wanjie.
"We're leaving first. We'll come back another day to talk to Mom and Dad."
He turned to Jiang Yi and nodded, "Come visit me another day, big brother."
Jiang Lianshan and Meng Wanjie looked at their daughter who grabbed her son-in-law's hand without any reserve, and they looked at each other and laughed.
"You girl..." Meng Wanjie walked over and gave her some instructions, telling her to call the imperial physician if she felt unwell.
Jiang Ling nodded, "I know, Mom. I'm fine."
She pulled Zhou Jing'an out of the hall and said, "Dad and Mom, don't come out. I'll be back in a few days to have dinner with you."
"Okay, you don't have to worry about us. Just take care of yourself." Jiang Lianshan said with a smile.
Jiang Ling responded with a smile, and when she stepped out of the door, she quietly turned her head and winked at Jiang Yi, indicating that she would take care of his affairs.
"Ahem...take care of yourself." Jiang Yi looked uncomfortable and took two steps away.
Zhou Jing'an followed Jiang Ling and turned around to say goodbye to them.
Jiang Lianshan and the other two watched the two of them walk away hand in hand in the hall, with smiles in their eyes not diminishing.
The summer afternoon sun had lost its edge, casting a halo on the two of them, making the air around them blurry.
The graceful woman pulled him forward, and the elegant young man looked at her tenderly and kept asking her to slow down.
Meng Wanjie raised the corner of her mouth and took Jiang Lianshan's arm, "It's so nice to see the two of you."
"Yes." Jiang Lianshan held her hand and patted it.
Jiang Yi stood by the door, watching the two people's backs walking further and further away. Thinking that Zhou Jing'an treated his sister well and that his only sister was happy and healthy, he felt very satisfied in his heart.
Then he thought, I wonder if he and Yunyi can be like their parents, or like his sister and Zhou Jingan...
The sunlight shone behind his ears, burning them red.
-
Zhou Jing'an gently squeezed her hand and said softly, "Don't worry, Ling'er, walk slowly."
"The Queen is still waiting."
Jiang Ling walked forward, and when she reached the gate of the mansion, many servants and maids bowed politely to her.
"Hello, Miss. Hello, Uncle."
Jiang Ling replied with a smile, telling them not to be so polite.
During this time, Zhou Jing'an nodded beside her. When he lowered his eyes and saw the two people holding hands together, his face felt a little hot.
But along the way, he didn't think of letting go.
I don’t know if it’s because I’ve gotten used to Jiang Ling’s frequent displays of affection in public these days, or if it’s something else.
When Zhou Jing'an came, he rode a horse and asked someone to drive a carriage to pick her up. When he left, he consciously helped her into the carriage and followed her in.
"Oh, this is too soft." Jiang Ling sat down and stepped on the floor. There were three layers of blankets on it, and even the couch was covered with three layers of blankets.
Zhou Jing'an sat down next to her and habitually put his arm around her waist to protect her.
The carriage slowly went to Zhou's house.
"I think there's no need to pave the carriage so thickly, right?" Jiang Ling felt helpless.
When she walked on it, her feet sank halfway into it.
It was because the last time they were traveling, the carriage shook and she lost her balance and fell forward. Fortunately, Zhou Jingan was quick enough to hug her.
That really scared Zhou Jing'an.
After that, thicker blankets were laid in the carriage that Jiang Ling was riding in.
Zhou Jing'an shook his head. Although his tone was gentle, he was very determined: "Just in case, it's better to lay a thicker layer."
"Are you thirsty?" he asked.
Jiang Ling shook her head, took out the jujube wood box, and said to him with a smile, "Guess what this is?"
Zhou Jingan took a look and shook his head with a smile: "I don't know."
"This is the jewelry that Qingyu helped my brother get last time." Jiang Ling blinked ambiguously, "I finally know who my brother's sweetheart is."
"Oh?" Zhou Jing'an feigned curiosity and asked, "Who is it?"
Jiang Ling shook her head and put the box away. "I can't tell you. You'll know when the time comes."
"good."
Zhou Jing'an looked at her smiling face and saw that she was in a good mood, so he smiled too.
He is not interested in who Jiang Yi's sweetheart is, but he is happy as long as Jiang Ling is happy.
"Ling'er, what do you think of this modified carriage?"
Jiang Ling nodded, very satisfied: "Very good, very cool."
Because she was a playful person who always liked to go out for fun, in addition to this thick blanket, Zhou Jing'an also modified the carriage.
A compartment was installed under the carriage and ice was placed inside. Then, a strip of wooden board on both sides of the floor of the carriage was removed and replaced with a thin wooden board with strip holes.
By the way, a clever mechanism was added to the axle, and fans were installed in the partition connected to the axle. In this way, when the carriage moved, the fans would rotate, blowing the ice in the partition, and the cool air would float into the carriage through the holes.
Jiang Ling raised her hand and pinched his cheek, sparing no effort to encourage him: "My husband is really smart."
Zhou Jing'an held her hand and finally complained aggrievedly, "I haven't seen you for a day today. Ling'er, don't you miss me at all?"
"How can it be a whole day?" Jiang Ling blinked. "It's only half a day."
On weekdays, he would go out in the morning to handle official business, come back for lunch, and then go back to work again, not coming back until the evening when his shift was over.
