Chapter 32: Passers-by in the Ancient World 6
Lin Jing came to offer tea to Jiang Mingzhi.
She was alone, and no one knew where Jiang Sheng had gone.
Jiang Mingzhi looked at Lin Jing in silence.
Lin Jing also looked at Jiang Mingzhi calmly.
The atmosphere between the two was particularly strange. Lin Jing quietly served tea, while Jiang Mingzhi drank tea in silence.
Without saying a word.
Ke Xiaoxia secretly looked at the two of them from the side and felt that they were somehow similar.
Jiang Sheng, on the contrary, is not like Jiang Ming at all.
Whether it's appearance or personality.
Could it be that Lin Jing is Jiang Mingzhi’s biological son?
It could also be her biological daughter.
Although Lin Jing has a flat chest and is tall and has long legs, this does not mean that she is a man.
In short, there must be something fishy between these two people.
The overall situation is very complicated. Ke Xiaoxia decides not to think too much and just quietly be a little maid who knows nothing.
After quietly serving tea, Lin Jing spoke: "Father, if you have nothing else to say, Xiao Xia and I will take our leave."
"I will arrange other maids for you."
"What does this mean, father?" There was a hint of displeasure in the light tone.
Jiang Mingzhi said calmly, "Sheng'er likes her."
"So what? Father agreed to give Xiao Xia to me yesterday."
"Besides, father knows that I don't need any maids."
Lin Jing's tone was respectful, but his words showed that he was unwilling to give in.
Jiang Mingzhi's face darkened: "Lin Jing, recognize your current identity."
"As your daughter-in-law, is it too much to want a maid?"
"You and Sheng'er just got married, and Sheng'er likes her..."
"It's okay. I'm not a stingy person and I don't mind it."
Neither of them was willing to give in.
In comparison, Lin Jing is clearly better.
Who made Jiang Mingzhi speak up yesterday and agree to give the person to Lin Jing?
The reason Jiang Mingzhi gave today was a little far-fetched.
Especially after Lin Jing said she didn't mind.
But it is of course impossible to say that there are no loopholes.
After all, this is the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Jiang Mingzhi is the master of this mansion.
His communication with Lin Jing was too equal.
Comparing the conversations between Jiang Mingzhi and Jiang Sheng, it is easy to see the difference.
Ke Xiaoxia stood aside with her head lowered, her thoughts complicated.
Now, she can basically be sure that Lin Jing is not only a man, but also most likely the male protagonist, and his identity must be extraordinary.
In the end, Lin Jing took Ke Xiaoxia away.
But Jiang Mingzhi couldn't bear to see Lin Jing doing well, so he forced Lin Jing and Jiang Sheng to live in the same room.
Lin Jing said she didn't care.
Jiang Sheng, who was taken back by Jiang Mingzhi, was stunned.
"You want me to sleep in the same room with Lin Jing? Is Jiang Mingzhi afraid that I will die too late?"
Jiang Sheng didn't want to.
Unfortunately, the struggle was in vain.
Jiang Sheng wanted to find Ke Xiaoxia to cry to, but Lin Jing directly pulled Ke Xiaoxia to her side and warned Jiang Sheng.
"Behave yourself, I won't hit you."
Jiang Sheng ignored Lin Jing and just looked at Ke Xiaoxia pitifully.
Ke Xiaoxia gave him a helpless look.
Jiang Sheng thought that even he was clearly arranged, not to mention Xiao Xia, so he shrank into a corner and became autistic.
*
Lin Jing's life is relatively regular. She practices sword in the morning and reads in the afternoon.
When practicing sword, Ke Xiaoxia and Lu Ying were watching from the side, and Jiang Sheng, who was huddled in the corner and autistic, also looked over.
Luying was used to it and wasn't very interested. After watching for a while she went back to embroidering a handkerchief.
Ke Xiaoxia was watching very intently.
The beauty is like jade, and the sword is like a rainbow.
The movement of swinging the sword is smooth, powerful and full of rhythm.
In the sunlight, the sword light flickered, and the figures and sword shadows intertwined, like a beautiful painting.
Ke Xiaoxia was extremely fascinated by it.
The opposite of Ke Xiaoxia was Jiang Sheng, who watched with gritted teeth.
Especially after noticing that Ke Xiaoxia was fascinated by the show, Jiang Sheng couldn't help but grit his teeth.
He felt that Lin Jing was like a peacock spreading its tail, deliberately attracting other people's attention.
It's just some fancy sword moves, he can do that too!
Jiang Sheng's gnashing of teeth didn't affect others at all.
After Lin Jing finished his move, he walked straight towards Ke Xiaoxia.
Perhaps because of the sword practice, Lin Jing's voice was a little hoarse: "Do you want to learn?"
After being stunned for a moment, Ke Xiaoxia nodded immediately: "Yes, I want to learn."
Lin Jing rubbed Ke Xiaoxia's head and said with a hint of smile in his voice: "I will teach you slowly in the future."
Jiang Sheng stared at Lin Jing's actions.
He also wants to rub Xiao Xia’s head!
After practicing sword, Lin Jing went to wash up.
Lu Ying looked at Ke Xiaoxia sympathetically and said, "Why are you so depressed? Practicing sword skills is so tiring. You must have been fooled by the way the young lady practiced sword skills."
Ke Xiaoxia smiled but said nothing. She just wanted to learn one more skill.
In the afternoon, Lin Jing went to the study to read, and Jiang Sheng squatted on the ground teasing ants.
Ke Xiaoxia is learning embroidery with Luying.
Born into a poor family in this life, she was sold to the Jiang Mansion and worked in the kitchen, so naturally she had no chance to learn embroidery.
Now that she has the opportunity to learn, Ke Xiaoxia will certainly not let it go.
However, Ke Xiaoxia really does not have Luying's talent.
After embroidering for a long time, I only managed to embroider a crooked flower, which looked very ugly.
Lu Ying smiled and said, "It's already very good. When the young lady was embroidering, I don't know how many times she pricked her hand. In the end, the handkerchief was torn and she didn't succeed in embroidering it."
Ke Xiaoxia was somewhat comforted.
She asked Luying: "What about you? How long did you spend embroidering for the first time?"
Luying was embarrassed: "Half an hour."
Feeling like an arrow shot through his heart, Ke Xiaoxia silently gave Lu Ying a thumbs up and praised: "You are really amazing."
Luying covered her face and ran away.
Jiang Sheng, who was originally teasing the ants, immediately came over when he saw this.
He stared at the handkerchief in Ke Xiaoxia's hand and said, "I just happen to be in need of a handkerchief."
Ke Xiaoxia: “…”
"Master, the flowers I embroidered don't look very good."
"It's okay, I'm not that superficial."
Ke Xiaoxia spoke up, and Jiang Sheng took it as a promise to give him the handkerchief. He took the handkerchief from Ke Xiaoxia, looked at it, nodded with satisfaction and said, "Not bad, I like it very much."
After saying that, he folded it neatly and stuffed it into his chest.
Ke Xiaoxia was speechless.
When he looked up, he met Lin Jing's gaze in the study again.
Ke Xiaoxia smiled politely.
Lin Jing lowered his eyes and continued reading.
Jiang Sheng touched the handkerchief on his chest and felt his heart blossom with joy.
This is the handkerchief Xiaoxia specially embroidered for him.
Jiang Sheng's good mood lasted until bedtime.
Jiang Mingzhi forced Jiang Sheng and Lin Jing to sleep in the same room, so Jiang Sheng naturally had no way to escape.
Jiang Sheng had already accepted his fate.
Sleeping in a room does not mean sleeping in a bed. Just sleep there. At most, he can sleep on the bed and Lin Jing can sleep on the couch.
It’s a beautiful imagination.
Reality is cruel.
Jiang Sheng stared at Lin Jing and said in disbelief: "Why would Xiao Xia want to sleep with you?!"
Even if they need to sleep, it should be him and Xiao Xia...
