August is almost over, and there are still two months left before the events in the previous life. This is already very tight for Jiang Si.
In the letter, Jiang Si did not ask whether Jiang Yi had ever saved anyone. Of course, it would be better to find out about such things in person.
The letter was delivered to the Zhu family, and soon after, Jiang Yi's reply was received.
Jiang Si finished reading the letter and rubbed the corners of his eyes.
Looks like I have to go out again.
In the letter, Jiang Yi mentioned that she would go to Baiyun Temple outside the city to burn incense the day after tomorrow, and asked her to meet there.
Compared to going to Zhu's house, it is naturally more convenient and comfortable for the two sisters to meet at Baiyun Temple.
Jiang Si quickly replied to Jiang Yi and waited patiently for the day after tomorrow.
Two days later, Ah Man sent a message to the front early in the morning to ask for a car. Not long after, he came back with a frustrated face and reported: "Miss, the big car in the mansion is used by the second wife, and the small car is used by the third wife and the third girl. There is no car left."
Jiang Si thought for a moment and said, "Just ask Lao Qin to go out and hire a cleaner car."
Lao Qin was very reliable and quickly hired a carriage to take Jiang Si and A Man, master and servant, to Baiyun Temple outside the city.
The sky was high and the clouds were light. Once outside the city, there were fewer hustle and bustle of pedestrians, and the world seemed even more vast.
Ah Man lifted a corner of the car window curtain, letting the cool autumn breeze blow on his cheeks, and happily enjoyed the scenery along the road.
"Girl, look at that wheat field. It's so golden, like a pile of gold. It's more beautiful than flowers."
Jiang Si, who had been sitting in the car with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and looked outside.
There are endless wheat fields beside the road. It is the season of harvest. The golden ears of wheat sway in the wind, like endless golden waves surging over and connecting with the blue sky. Looking at them makes people feel open-minded, and the farmer bending over and wielding a sickle in the wheat field looks even smaller.
Jiang Si seemed to be able to smell the fragrance of wheat and the sweat of farmers due to their hard work.
She likes this kind of scenery very much.
"Girl, look at the carriage in front, it seems to be the carriage from our house." Ah Man was sharp-eyed and pointed at a green-curtained carriage not far ahead and shouted.
Jiang Si looked carefully and found that it was indeed the larger carriage from the Dongping Marquis's Mansion.
"Where is the Second Madam going? She seems to be traveling with us." Ah Man muttered in confusion.
Jiang Si pondered for a moment and told Lao Qin: "Drive faster and get to Baiyun Temple as soon as possible."
Thinking about the recent misfortunes of the Second House, and the carriage that appeared in front, Jiang Si guessed that Xiao was most likely going to Baiyun Temple to burn incense. If Xiao ran into her elder sister, it would delay her conversation with her elder sister, so Jiang Si quickly made the decision to get there first.
Once I see my elder sister and ask her all the questions I need to ask, it won’t matter even if the Xiao family messes up the situation.
Lao Qin listened to Jiang's instructions and raised his whip: "Young lady, sit still."
The whip made a crisp sound in the air and landed on the horse's back. Soon the carriage sped up and overtook the carriage that Xiao was riding in.
At this time, Xiao was leaning over to look at the scenery outside. An inconspicuous carriage passed by, raising a cloud of dust. She hurriedly lowered the curtains, and her slightly relieved mood instantly became terrible.
Things have been going badly for me lately. Even when I look at the scenery outside, I still feel like I'm eating dirt. I wonder what kind of shabby stuff is in the carriage.
Lao Qin rode at full speed all the way and soon arrived at Baiyun Temple.
Ah Man leaned back and said with a smile: "Lao Qin, you are really good at driving a car. The car disappeared without a trace."
Without even raising his eyelids, Lao Qin said calmly, "Racing is not my strong point."
"So what are you best at?"
Old Qin sighed.
This little girl has such a bad memory. I've told you before that he is good at killing people.
"Ah Man, go and ask if the Zhu Mansion's car has arrived."
Upon hearing Jiang Si's instructions, Ah Man immediately put away his curiosity and ran to find the monk in charge of receiving guests to inquire about the news. He soon brought back the news that Jiang Yi had arrived.
A woman from a wealthy family like Jiang Yi would definitely book a guest room when she came to Baiyun Temple and stay for lunch.
Jiang Yi naturally would not stay in the guest room at this time. Jiang Si took A Man straight to the main hall, and sure enough, they saw a familiar figure kneeling in front of the majestic Buddha statue.
What surprised Jiang Si was that there was someone following Jiang Yi, who turned out to be her elder brother-in-law Zhu Ziyu.
At this time Jiang Yi stood up, raised her eyes and smiled faintly at Zhu Ziyu.
Jiang Si was standing not far away, looking at the perfect couple standing side by side and feeling somewhat confused.
Maybe she was going in the wrong direction, and her brother-in-law Zhu Ziyu was fine?
Jiang Si turned his gaze slightly and looked at Zhu Ziyu's face.
Zhu Ziyu was wearing a green robe today. He had a handsome face and an upright posture, and his every move exuded a strong scholarly air.
To be honest, Zhu Ziyu is a man who can really make women's hearts flutter.
What happened to Zhu Ziyu after his elder sister died in his previous life?
Jiang seemed to remember clearly that Zhu Ziyu had not remarried before she left the capital. Three years later, when she returned to the capital, she paid careful attention and found out that Zhu Ziyu had married a girl from an ordinary family a year ago.
As if sensing Jiang's gaze, Zhu Ziyu turned her head to meet her gaze. She was stunned at first, then revealed a gentle smile: "Yiniang, it's the fourth sister."
Jiang Yi suddenly turned around, surprise flashing in her eyes, and quickly walked over to hold Jiang Si: "Fourth sister, you are here."
Jiang Si quickly put away his thoughts and smiled: "I didn't expect my elder sister to be here."
She said this in a subtle way because she was not sure whether Jiang Yi had mentioned to Zhu Ziyu that they had an appointment.
The two sisters chatted for a while, and Zhu Ziyu said with interest: "You guys chat, I'll go to the front and take a look."
Jiang Si's eyes followed Zhu Ziyu's departing back. For the first time, he felt that a person's depth was so difficult to see.
From the perspective of etiquette, Zhu Ziyu can be called a gentleman.
But one thing is certain, doing more is better than doing nothing, and she will accept it even if it is a waste of effort.
"Fourth sister?" Jiang Yi was vaguely confused.
Jiang Si took Jiang Yi's hand and said, "Sister, let's just take a walk."
Jiang Yi pointed behind her and said, "Fourth sister, don't you want to bow?"
Jiang Si thought about it, walked to the cushion, knelt down and kowtowed sincerely, silently praying in his heart: Buddha, please bless my elder sister to be safe and peaceful, free from disasters and worries.
Jiang Si stood up, and Jiang Yi smiled and joked, "What did Fourth Sister ask for? Could it be a marriage?"
"Sister, don't talk nonsense." Jiang Si looked embarrassed.
Jiang Yi was a person with a gentle temperament. Seeing that his sister was shy, he couldn't bear to tease her anymore and asked about the situation in the Bo's Mansion.
The old trees in the temple provided shade, and it was already somewhat cool at this time. The further we walked, the fewer pilgrims there were.
Seeing that the time was almost right, Jiang Si pretended to be casual and said, "If I had known that my elder brother-in-law would accompany my elder sister to burn incense, I would not have joined in the fun."
"Don't talk nonsense." Jiang Yi blushed and pushed Jiang Si, explaining, "Originally I came here alone, but your brother-in-law happened to have nothing to do today, so he came with me."
