The brother and sister looked at each other, hope ignited in their eyes, and they immediately kowtowed to express their gratitude. Jiang Zhixu also came over, and the two siblings immediately knelt down to express their gratitude: "Thank you very much, benefactor. My name is Xia Heng, and my name is Xia Ning."
Jiang Zhixu asked Jiayi to accompany the brother and sister to bury their parents and pack their luggage.
The couple turned around and went back to the theater, ordered a song "Peach Blossom Fan", and then leisurely ate snacks and fruits.
Just as Jin Linlin was dozing off while listening to the opera, a loud noise suddenly came from next door. The sound sounded strangely familiar.
In the next box, Ouyang Jin and Jiang Shuyan were arguing fiercely. They had been at odds with each other since childhood. Both came from wealthy families and had titles at home. After going to school, they competed with each other in academic performance. Now they have the same official position, both are fourth-rank civil servants, and are nicknamed "The Two Heroes of the Capital".
This is really a case of enemies meeting on a narrow road. When Jin Linlin heard that it was these two people, she immediately became interested. She was already quite interested in the villains and important supporting characters in this book, so she immediately pulled Jiang Zhixu closer and tiptoed to listen.
Ouyang Jin laughed and said, "Jiang Shuyan, you can only show off in this theater." Jiang Shuyan was not to be outdone and retorted, "Ouyang Jin, stop pretending here. How great do you think you are?" The two of them went back and forth, neither of them giving in. The scene was really lively.
Jiang Shuyan was alone, while Ouyang Jin had several friends. Seeing this, Jiang Shuyan shouted at the top of his voice:
"Jiaojiao, they bullied me!"
Before he could finish his words, Cao Jiao stood at the door of the box. Her voice was icy: "Who let you into my box?"
At this time, Jin Linlin and Jiang Zhixu heard the crackling sound of fighting. They went out to see that all of Ouyang Jin's friends were kicked out, and Ouyang Jin also slowly retreated.
Ouyang Jin looked at Cao Jiao, clenching his fists tightly. It had been more than three years since they last saw each other. He thought he had already forgotten the girl dressed as a man, but he didn't expect that he still couldn't.
The book says that before Cao Jiao came of age, she often dressed as a man and performed heroic deeds on the streets. She was an old acquaintance of both Ouyang Jin and Jiang Shuyan. After Cao Jiao married Jiang Shuyan, Ouyang Jin was depressed for a while.
"Cao Jiao, we're already so familiar with each other, why make things so awkward?"
"Ouyang Jin, you were the one who started the trouble. Don't you feel embarrassed that so many people are bullying him? If it weren't for the fact that we know each other, you would have been carried home too."
As Cao Jiao spoke, her eyes were still fixed on Jiang Shuyan, and her thoughts were written all over her face.
Jiang Shuyan helped her massage her shoulders with a flattering look on his face, and did not forget to show off to Ouyang Jin, but when he saw the look in Ouyang Jin's eyes when he looked at Cao Jiao, he quickly protected Cao Jiao behind him.
Jin Linlin watched with gusto, muttering to herself, "This male lead is too childish!" These two seem so composed in official circles, so why are they so noisy in private?
After returning to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, Jin Linlin settled the brother and sister, letting her brother help Jiang Zhixu with affairs, while her sister followed Madam Cai to learn business. Madam Cai was currently busy managing her dowry shop.
