The girl raised her eyes and looked ahead, frowning slightly, with a disgust that could not be concealed at all.

Chu Huan still did not let go, raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Yuanyi, and said in a gentle voice: "Miss Jiang, why are you in such a hurry to leave?" Jiang Yuanyi's wrist was slender, as if it would be broken at any time. Chu Huan held it tightly, wishing he could break it.

Xiao Tuonong frowned tightly, stood up suddenly, and grabbed Chu Huan's collar. His voice was hoarse: "Let go."

In fact, he should not be surprised, isn't Chu Huan like this? He looks gentle and elegant, but in fact he is selfish and arrogant.

Jiang Yuanyi exhaled slowly, lowered her eyes and looked at Chu Huan, her eyes were cold and sarcastic: "Men and women should not touch each other, when did you become so rude?"

Chu Huan looked at her with warm eyes: "Then Miss Jiang, you know your manners again, riding with men in broad daylight..."

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Tuo grabbed him and punched him in the face.

With a heavy thud, Chu Huan instantly fell backwards, knocked on Xiaoqing's table, and barely stood up by holding the edge of the table.

Xiao Tuo pulled Jiang Yuanyi behind him and looked at him coldly: "Mr. Chu is already engaged to Concubine Zhao Gui's younger sister, so don't mess with my people anymore."

Chu Huan curled his lips and smiled: "Your people?"

He stood up straight and adjusted his sleeves: "Miss Jiang is not yet of age, and both parents don't know about it. It's not legitimate, so how can you say she is your person?"

Xiao Tuo smiled coldly and narrowed his eyes slightly: "When When I get there, I will propose marriage myself."

Chu Huan looked at Jiang Yuanyi, his expression serious, and said softly: "When the time comes, I will also go to the Jiang Mansion in person to propose marriage."

Jiang Yuanyi suddenly raised her eyes to look at Chu Huan, and felt her heart tremble violently. All the fear and hatred from the previous life surged up in an instant. She couldn't help but clench her hands tightly. Xiao Tuo noticed her intense emotions, bent down and raised his hands to hold the little girl in his arms.

He turned around and walked out, holding Jiang Yuanyi in his arms, his voice cold and sarcastic: "Dream on."

Chu Huan stood there, looking at Xiao Tuo's back and the pair of slender white hands around his neck, and threw the bowl hard on the ground, the porcelain bowl shattered all over the floor, the fine residue churned a few times on the stone brick floor, and it was completely quiet.

His face was full of undisguised coldness and gloom. What did I do to make you hate me so much.

...

Xiao Tuo walked out of a room holding Jiang Yuanyi, not letting go, staring at the front, without saying a word.

Jiang Yuanyi looked up at Xiao Tuo's slightly frowning brows, stretched out her little hand to poke him, and asked softly: "Are you angry?"

Walking out of the horse farm, you will pass a section of woods. At this time, the green leaves had just emerged from the earth-brown branches, and Xiao Tuo's black boots made a slight sound against the gravel on the road.

Xiao Qing and his group followed behind without daring to say a word.

Xiao Tuo walked to a big tree with a thick trunk and a canopy covering the sky. He put Jiang Yuanyi down, and his handsome face no longer had the usual smile. His lips were tightly pursed, and his eyes stared at her with burning eyes.

It was the first time that Jiang Yuanyi saw him like this. She leaned against the tree, raised her head and looked at him: "No..."

Before she finished speaking, her waist was suddenly held tightly by someone. The hand was as hot as an iron. Jiang Yuanyi widened her eyes in surprise, looking at the handsome eyebrows of the young man who suddenly approached her, and then her lips felt hot.

Xiao Tuo laid his hands on the girl's soft lips, and felt his whole body was hot, and his heart was so fast that it seemed to jump out.

He rubbed the girl's soft lips a few times in a clumsy way, and slightly stepped back, looking at Yuanyi's blushing face and slightly closed eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "You are mine."

Jiang Yuanyi slowly opened her eyes, and saw Xiao Tuo's eyes were deep, but gentle and hot.

Jiang Yuanyi reached out and gently stroked his wrinkled brows, and said softly: "Okay."

The girl's facial features were delicate as if they were carved, and her snow-white skin was now showing the most touching shyness, and the slightly red corners of her eyes reflected the watery peach blossom eyes, as if the peach blossoms were blooming, delicate and charming.

Facing his inexplicable jealousy, she was still gentle and bright. Xiao Tuo's Adam's apple moved, his hands tightened, and he pressed her to him, then buried his head in a kiss.

Jiang Yuanyi slowly raised her hands, hooked them around his neck, and responded softly.

In the grove full of spring, the couple leaned against the tree and kissed as if no one was around.

After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Tuo gently let her go, his ears turning red. He clenched his fist into his mouth and coughed lightly, then rubbed Yuanyi's hair, his voice gentle: "Yunsheng Pavilion has just released some new wine, do you want to try it?"

Jiang Yuanyi nodded gently: "Okay."

Jiang Yuanyi took the veil handed to her by Xiaoqing and put it on, then walked towards Yunsheng Pavilion with Xiao Tuo.

There were many people drinking in the afternoon, and there were still quite a few people sitting on the first floor of Yunsheng Pavilion.

A few people sat in the middle, talking about something with great excitement.

"The news is really intense recently..."

"What do you mean?"

Xiao Tuo was about to take Jiang Yuanyi upstairs to sit, but Jiang Yuanyi gently pulled his sleeve. Xiao Tuo turned around and saw Jiang Yuanyi pointing to the side. He didn't ask anything, but took Jiang Yuanyi over and sat down.

"Haven't you heard? Two more officials in the court have fallen. Just now, a large group of guards with swords went to search their homes and sealed the mansion gates.

" "Really?"

"I just saw it with my own eyes. How could it be false?"

"This time it's really different. The investigation is very strict."

The waiter brought up two jugs of wine. Xiao Tuo poured a glass and handed it to Jiang Yuanyi: "Don't think about it. Try it."

Jiang Yuanyi took the wine and took a sip. This wine was much spicier than peach wine. Jiang Yuanyi frowned because of the spiciness and grabbed Xiao Tuo's wrist: "You are teasing me..."

Xiao Tuo drank the wine in one gulp: "Try the strong liquor. It has a unique flavor."

Jiang Yuanyi saw that he didn't look like he was joking, so he took another sip. Sure enough, after the spiciness wore off, there was a unique mellow fragrance and sweetness.

The sky was dark, and the clouds piled up, blocking the edge and unable to disperse.

Jiang Yuanyi returned home at the hour of You.

As soon as she passed the hanging flower gate, she saw her parents sitting in the front hall with angry faces, and her sister kneeling in the hall.

Jiang Yuanyi hurriedly ran over with her skirt lifted, and lightly supported her sister's shoulders: "What's wrong?"

Jiang said angrily: "Your good-for-nothing sister ran out to have a secret meeting with Yuan Jiaqi! If I hadn't sent people to keep an eye on people, I would have caught you back early today. Do you know that you would be famous in this capital!"

Jiang Xirong buried her head and sobbed, probably because she was scolded, and did not dare to answer.

Jiang Yuanyi hurriedly walked to Jiang's side: "Mother, it's thanks to you that it didn't turn into a big disaster. Sister knows it in her heart."

Jiang slammed the table: "She knows?! If she knew, she would not sneak out on the day when so many young men came to propose marriage!"

Jiang Yuanyi put her small hand on Jiang's shoulder, kneading it gently, and said softly: "Mother, sister has a gentle and filial temperament, and her body is also weak. If she kneels on the cold and hard ground here for an hour, she won't be able to get up tomorrow. If someone comes to propose marriage tomorrow, it will be so bad."

She knelt down with her sister and waited for Xiaoqing to come in from the door.

She took the tea that Xiaoqing had brought and passed it to her mother: "This is the dew that my sister has been getting up at dawn these days to collect for you in this garden. Please have a taste."

Upon hearing this, Jiang's face relaxed, she lowered her eyes to glance at Jiang Xirong, and took the teacup.

Jiang Yuanyi hurried over to help Jiang Xirong up and blinked. Jiang Xirong stopped sobbing, picked up another cup, and passed it to Jiang's father: "Father..."

Jiang Nansheng sighed, took it and took a sip. The fragrance is mellow and lingering on the lips and teeth. It requires the freshest tea leaves and dew, which must have been carefully prepared.

Jiang Nansheng put down the teacup and said in a deep voice: "Rong'er, do you know you are wrong?"

Jiang Xirong hurriedly walked forward and knelt down: "Rong'er knows you are wrong."

Jiang Nansheng walked over and helped his daughter up: "My mother and I will definitely find a good family for you. You stay at home and don't let it happen again."

Jiang Xirong nodded.

Jiang Shi put the teacup on the table and knocked it on the table. Jiang Xirong turned her head and saw her mother's serious face: "The results will be announced in a few days. If Yuan Jiaqi passes the exam, it will be fine."

Jiang Shi turned her head to meet Jiang Xirong's soft eyes and said in a deep voice: "If not, he can't marry you."

Jiang Xirong's lips trembled, and she was about to say something, but Jiang Yuanyi pulled her to salute and then left the front hall.

On the path in the garden, Jiang Xirong thought of what her mother had just said and held back her sobs: "Yier, what should we do... Jiaqi didn't do well in the exam this time, mother... mother..."

Jiang Yuanyi quickly hugged her sister in her arms, patted her back gently, and whispered: "Leave it to me."

In this life, I will keep you safe and happy.

It has rained for two consecutive days in the capital. The stone slabs on the street have been washed clean by the rain, and many pedestrians pass by with oil-paper umbrellas. The rain dripped down along the eaves and fell on a young man with a dazed look.

He was wearing a royal blue brocade robe, but the clothes were a little sticky and dirty, and it looked like he hadn't taken care of it for some time. His hair was messy and sticky, and there was gray around his eyes. His expression was dazed and decadent.

He walked into Yunsheng Pavilion and went straight to the third floor.

The waiter who came over greeted him warmly: "Mr. Yao, what kind of wine do you want today?"

Yao Kang frowned and said hoarsely: "Give me ten bottles of the strongest wine."

The waiter was shocked for a few moments and hurried to get the wine.

Outside the pastry shop not far from Yunsheng Pavilion, a maid in light green clothes stood quietly, took the hot pastries handed over by the proprietress, turned around and walked out.

A few ragged little beggars came towards him, one of whom had dark eyes and a lively expression.

The little beggar walked past the door in a crowd and

knocked the cake out of the maid's hand. Xiaoqing squatted down and picked it up, whispering in the little beggar's ear: "You can start." The little beggar smiled and nodded, helped pick up the cake, handed it to the maid, and then ran away.

The rain in the capital was getting heavier and heavier. The dark clouds covered the sky and the sun, the wind was blowing and the rain was heavy, and the rain curtain was like a curtain. Some anecdotes, mixed in the noisy sound of dripping rain, gradually spread in every corner of the capital.

—————

Yunsheng Pavilion has welcomed wave after wave of guests. The waiter stood on the first floor in embarrassment and brought up a few jugs of wine.

The cashier at the door raised his chin upstairs and asked: "Are you still drinking?"

"Yes," the waiter sighed, "it's been two days, he's been drinking all day and he refuses to go back or pay." The cashier

narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Of course he doesn't dare to go back. He lost nearly 20,000 taels of silver in the casino. He will be beaten to death if he goes back."

20,000 taels of silver... The waiter put down the wine and walked to the counter: "Isn't the Yao family just a fifth-rank official? How can he afford to lose 20,000 taels..." The

cashier buried his head and clacked his abacus, and smiled, "So many corrupt officials have been dismissed recently. What else can it be? Corruption. I think that Yao Kang will harm the Yao family sooner or later. Now that the storm is so tense, he actually dares to gamble and lose so much money... really..." He bit his lip and clicked his tongue. After a few shouts, he looked up and snatched the tray from the waiter's hand: "Don't send it, maybe you can't pay."

The waiter frowned and came to his side: "Are you really not going to send it?"

As he was talking, two servants in dark green clothes came to the door and asked, "Is Young Master Yao here?"

The cashier raised his eyebrows, and the waiter hurriedly said, "Upstairs, upstairs! I'll take you there now."

In the private room on the third floor, Yao Kang was drunk and fell to the ground in a state of confusion, yelling incoherently: "Wine... give me wine... waiter!"

The door was opened with a "creak". When the two servants of the Yao Mansion saw their drunken young master, they hurried over to help him up and walked downstairs.

At this time, many people were sitting in the hall. When they saw Yao Kang lying limply on the two servants, their steps were unsteady, and they began to talk among themselves.

"Is this the Yao Kang who spent several days in the casino and lost tens of thousands of taels of silver?"

"Yes, he is really a spendthrift."

"This Yao family is only a fifth-rank official. No matter how much the emperor rewards and favors him, he is not so rich..."

"How can it be a reward from His Majesty? It is definitely greed!"

The servants were panicked when they heard this, and they quickly carried Yao Kang to the carriage.

In a daze, the charming female official dealt cards again. He glanced at the masked man opposite him, opened the dice cup in panic, and sure enough, he lost again.

Yao Kang cursed under his breath, then shouted, "Again!"

Suddenly, a basin of cold water was poured onto his face. Yao Kang woke up with a start. He saw his father standing in front of him with bloodshot eyes, holding a wooden basin in his hand. Seeing him wake up, he threw the basin at him and shouted angrily, "Do you know how much trouble you have caused?!"

Yao Kang's lips trembled, and he dared not reply. His mother was already kneeling under the eaves, sobbing and gasping for breath.

Lord Yao stepped forward and kicked Yao Kang on the shoulder, grabbing his collar, his voice gushing out from between his teeth: "Now the whole capital knows that you lost tens of thousands of taels in gambling, and the rumors are getting more and more outrageous, saying that I, Yao Mingyuan, are corrupt and accepting bribes! Do you know what the consequences of this are?!!"

Yao Kang's neck was shrunk, his lips were pale and trembling.

The author has something to say: Dear, you are not mistaken.

Ahhhh!

Finally finished writing about Yao Kang. Goodbye, Brother Kang~~

Thank you for the support of all the little angels.
