So Hu Hu witnessed Jiang Ling's expression change in an instant.
Jiang Ling's eyebrows drooped in disappointment, and as he looked at the table full of delicious delicacies, he sighed softly, "I understand. You all can go down. I'll be alone for a while."
Zizhen wanted to persuade her a few more times, but she saw her young lady turned her head away uncomfortably, biting her lip and about to cry.
She and Xiaojia and the others went out and stood guard outside the private room.
Fox applauded: "Host, you must be able to change your face, just like that Sichuan Opera face-changing in your place?"
Jiang Ling raised her eyebrows proudly, picked up the chopsticks, picked up a large piece of braised pork and put it into her mouth. The meat was tender, sweet, salty and fragrant, and melted in her mouth. It was so delicious that it made her tongue tremble.
"It's delicious~" Jiang Ling squinted her eyes in enjoyment and filled her mouth with another mouthful of fragrant and soft rice.
Fox Fox was helpless, "Host, what do you think about the side quests?"
Jiang Ling propped up his chin and pondered for a moment: "How many days are left?"
"Five days." Foxy stretched out his hand and gestured with his five toes.
"Can it be postponed?" She picked up the chopsticks and took a bite of the stir-fried seasonal vegetables. It was sweet and not greasy, and delicious.
Huhu frowned as he pondered the feasibility of this matter, opened the system and began to search, and finally his eyes lit up, "Host, there is room for implementation!"
Jiang Ling raised her eyes: "Oh? What do you mean?"
Fox Fox introduced: "You can exchange conditions. For example, aren't the rewards for side quests clues and props that help the plot progress? The host can choose to exchange one of these in exchange for ten days of additional mission time."
Jiang Ling nodded to show that he understood, and then thought for only a second before saying, "Then trade the clue for ten days."
Fox Fox:?
"You want to change the host so easily? Aren't there still five days left? Don't you want to try again?"
Jiang Ling shook her head. "Didn't you see it all? He didn't even come when I invited him to dinner, so how could he possibly give me the hairpin?"
"I'm self-aware. I can make more plans in ten days and even set a trap to lure him into the game." Jiang Ling spread his hands.
Fox thought about it for a moment and said, "Okay, that's right."
After confirming it in the system, Jiang Ling clicked "Confirm" and it became officially effective, exchanging the clue for ten days of extra time.
After completing the task, Jiang Ling can only get props as a reward.
Jiang Ling said it didn't matter. She felt that with her intelligence, she could also infer the direction of the clues based on the props.
"Okay, stop working. Can you eat these? Let's eat some together." Jiang Ling rubbed Fox's head twice. It felt good.
Hu Hu hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay." Then he sat down very reluctantly and put a big piece of braised pork into his mouth. Then his big fox eyes lit up and his whole body was full of vitality.
Let’s talk about Zhou Jing’an.
After he came out of the imperial city a few days ago, he thought of Jiang Ling and what Feng Yu said from time to time.
Their relationship...
Has it reached the point where your friends misunderstand you?
Zhou Jing'an frowned slightly.
He himself does not want to devote himself wholeheartedly to the person in love. He is more concerned about the affairs of his family and country, and the people of the world. Now the Dagan Dynasty only looks calm on the surface, but there are undercurrents underneath.
He cannot and should not be distracted by those illusory things.
As for Shen Qingru, he had not yet reached the point of admiration for her. He just felt that among girls of the same age, she was the one he could talk to, had similar interests and personalities with, so he treated her as a good friend.
And now...
Jiang Ling.
Zhou Jing'an raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, trying to suppress the throbbing in his heart. He had to stop the budding impulse that was about to break through the soil and regain his calm.
Besides, it's not a good thing to be associated with him.
His status was high, and although the scenery he could see was wider and more beautiful, there were also many dangers following him like a shadow. His father and mother knew it, his elder sister knew it, and he also knew it.
It is very cold at high altitudes, and if a strong wind blows, you may fall off the cliff at any time.
Zhou Jing'an felt disappointed and decided to stay away from him. It would be better for both of them.
Jiang Ling had no idea that he had gone through so many twists and turns in his mind. He just thought that inviting him to a private dinner in front of his good friend, at the royal horse farm, and deliberately giving his name, and sending a maid who was familiar to him, all of this made it clear that Zhou Jing'an, who was calm and self-controlled and always considered his limits, could not agree to it.
If she knew that Zhou Jingan was already planning to stay away from her, she would only...
Stand up and applaud.
This was exactly what she wanted, it was like divine help.
When Jiang Ling finished eating a table full of delicious food and was lying on his back with Hu Hu, smiling foolishly with satisfaction, Zi Zhen came in and was stunned.
I was a little surprised. Shouldn't the young lady be very sad? Then...where are all the dishes on the table? Where did they go?
She secretly glanced at the lady's round belly.
Well, it's okay to turn grief and anger into appetite.
Just don't think too much.
-
In the next few days, Jiang Ling did nothing but sent another box of cakes to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Of course, it was returned intact.
Jiang Ling slept until noon every day in the mansion, got up to have lunch with his parents and brother, then took a nap, got up to play tossing pots, leaf cards and even Cuju with Zizhen, Luzhu and Xiaojia. In the evening, he read a storybook for a while, took a nice hot bath, and then fell asleep soundly.
The next day repeats the activities and procedures of the previous day.
In the eyes of everyone, Jiang Ling must have been heartbroken after being rejected twice in public by Zhou Jing'an, so she was depressed all day and didn't go out.
Zizhen and Luzhu also once doubted whether their young lady was sincere to Mr. Zhou.
If it wasn't sincere, then why did she write a letter every day confessing her love for Mr. Zhou, full of sad words? And let them keep it carefully.
If he was sincere, then why was he still laughing loudly and slamming the table because of his win at the card table, and proudly asking them for money with his hands on his hips after being rejected repeatedly?
Moreover, Jiang Ling's appetite was really good. Not to mention that he had no appetite, he simply ate with relish, gobbled up everything in no time, and devoured everything.
Good appetite...seems to have grown taller.
Jiang Ling didn't care about other people's opinions. In addition to eating, drinking and having fun every day, she also wrote a diary about Zhou Jing'an every day like completing homework. She also did one thing.
That means running around the martial arts training ground and doing horse stance every day.
The Prince of Jingnan's Mansion is full of military generals, so there is naturally no shortage of places to practice martial arts at home.
In fact, Jiang Ling started running since she learned horse riding last time.
Because she knew clearly how poor her physical fitness was.
For something to happen in the future, she must take care of her health, otherwise she might die.
While Jiang Ling was enjoying himself at home every day, time quietly came to mid-October and the results of the imperial examination came out.
