Chapter 404 The Boy Returns
At night.
Miaomiao went to the princess's mansion next door.
She was going to stop the fight.
The princess was found out by her father that she had been brought into the palace. She was afraid of being scolded by her father and wanted to run away.
Daddy really understands Mommy.
The carriage had only gone a few steps when the princess was blocked by her father at the entrance of the alley and had to turn back.
Miaomiao went to the princess's residence, ready to explain on behalf of the princess' mother.
Because the moment she saw her uncle the prince, she understood why her mother brought her into the palace.
I guess he doesn't want to have any regrets.
Judging from the state of the Crown Prince's uncle, he probably doesn't have much time left.
Especially after she said those words of entrusting her child to him, she realized it.
The prince's fate seemed to be just as it was in his dream, beyond any possibility of change, and he could only survive.
Some people hope he lives, while others hope he dies.
Miaomiao felt an inexplicable sadness in her heart.
However, before Miaomiao could open her mouth to explain, her parents returned to the room, closed the door and started arguing inside.
Everyone has his or her own opinion, and no one can convince anyone else, and no one will give in to anyone else.
Daddy is a cautious and steady person. Although his words may seem casual, he has actually thought about them thousands of times in his mind.
He probably wouldn't take action unless there was an 80% chance of winning.
It was not in his plan for the mother and daughter to enter the palace.
It's too risky.
My mother is a lively person who likes adventure and excitement. She is also good at adapting to circumstances and changes her mind all the time.
As long as she is 60% sure, she would want to give it a try.
Both of them felt that their decision was right and neither of them was willing to give in.
They are a pair of happy enemies.
As they were arguing, they actually started bringing up old grudges.
This is a serious matter. People dare to say anything.
He revealed everything about the days when the two of them were so close...
Miaomiao and Xier were lying outside the window listening to the beginning when Nanny Feng called A Niang to take them away.
Nanny Feng's brows were twitching.
Oh my God!
She was troubled by all of them, big and small, so she could only send the servants away and guard the place herself.
Her princess was really acting like a spoiled child, and she had to provoke someone she shouldn't have provoked.
If the emperor knew about this, they would all have their heads chopped off.
But this little girl came to join in the fun and couldn't be driven away even if we shouted. We had no choice but to ask Madam Lu to come and deal with her.
When Lu Qingyao came over, she saw the little girl lying on the window with her ears stretched out, not moving at all.
She also went over to listen out of curiosity and heard faint sounds of quarreling inside.
"Yuqing, can you change your temper? Even for Miaomiao, be more restrained and stop acting so recklessly?"
"This is my personality, I can't change it. If you're afraid, stay away from us."
"What are you talking about? Miaomiao is my daughter. You are... Anyway, I will take all the responsibilities..."
Lu Qingyao: ...
These two people are indeed enemies.
It seems that Prime Minister Cui will not leave until he has coaxed the princess.
Then she reached out, grabbed her daughter's arm, and pulled her away.
"Jiang Miaomiao, eavesdropping on people's conversations is a bad habit, you have to change it... But what did you hear?" Lu Qingyao held the lantern in one hand and held her daughter with the other.
"No... you came here before I heard anything, Auntie."
"real?"
"Um……"
Miaomiao felt that her mother was in a better mood today.
He didn't ask any more questions, nor did he frown, and he walked with a brisk pace.
"Mother, what happy thing happened to you?"
Lu Qingyao smiled, "You'll know later."
I followed my mother back home.
Walking through the corridor and through the stained glass window, I saw a familiar figure under the flickering lights in the house.
Under the candlelight, she held a book in her hand, but her eyes were fixed on the young man at the door.
Miaomiao thought she had seen it wrong, rubbed her eyes, and quickened her pace to get closer.
Second brother?
It’s really the second brother who is back.
"Second brother..." Miaomiao was so excited that she let go of A Niang's hand and ran over.
Then she saw her second brother coming out to greet her.
The second brother was wearing a green robe, with his hair half tied up and draped around his waist, fluttering in the wind. He stood there looking forward to it.
His profile under the light looks like it was carved, with beautiful bone structure.
He perfectly inherited the advantages of Jiang Yunze and A Niang.
After shedding his childishness, he possesses the handsomeness of a young man, yet also has a sense of maturity that transcends his age.
He has a strong outline and deep eyes, making it hard to guess what he is thinking at the moment.
Miaomiao was a little dazed.
I don’t know what my second brother ate at my grandparents’ house.
He suddenly turned from a boy into a handsome young man, and his height soared to be much taller than A Niang.
I guess he’s about 1.7 meters tall.
It felt like he had become a different person, and she almost couldn't recognize him.
After Miaomiao confirmed that it was her second brother, she ran over and hugged him, "Second brother, when did you come back? Why didn't anyone tell me you were back?"
Being hugged by the little girl suddenly, Jiang Ziyan was stunned for a while before he reacted.
My sister is no longer a little brat.
He has also grown taller, and the change is so great that I almost didn't recognize him.
The impression I have of the little guy is still the same as when he was walking, a chubby little guy who even jumped as he walked.
I love to stick to him all the time, and I hate being drawn by him the most, especially childhood portraits.
It's her dark history.
When Jiang Ziyan thought about not having painted Miaomiao for two years, he felt like he had missed a lot.
A little regretful.
I grew up in the blink of an eye.
She has become a graceful young lady. She has lost her baby fat and her appearance has become even more outstanding.
Her eyebrows and eyes look more like Princess Yuqing.
Jiang Ziyan pulled his sister into the house, patted the little girl's head lovingly, squatted in front of her and said with a smile: "Brother wanted to give you a surprise, how about it, are you scared?"
Not long after his sister went next door, he came home. He had just showered, changed clothes and had dinner.
Although there had been speculation before that Miaomiao might be the daughter of Prime Minister Cui and Princess Yuqing.
But when I received Miaomiao's letter, she said she had found her biological parents.
Jiang Ziyan felt empty inside.
Sooner or later, my sister will have to return to her roots and go back to the Cui family.
He felt inexplicably lonely and held his sister's hands tighter.
"Brother, I miss you." Miaomiao hugged her brother's neck and leaned on his shoulder, feeling a little sour in her nose.
After my second brother left quietly without saying a word.
Miaomiao was angry and scared.
During these three years, she was always worried about her two brothers.
When they were not around, she would occasionally think of the dream in her previous life, the dream of the tragic death of her mother and brothers.
Especially after seeing the prince in the palace, she remembered it again and began to worry.
Uneasy.
So when she saw her second brother standing in front of her safe and sound, her emotions instantly went out of control.
Jiang Ziyan thought his sister was crying with joy, so he patted her back gently to comfort her.
Holding my sister in my arms at this moment, I feel that she has really grown up.
I am no longer that soft little ball. The past three years have been neither short nor long.
For him, it was very short.
It was so short that he could hardly adapt to his sister's growth.
During these three years, apart from locking himself in the room to study, he kept studying, regardless of the seasons. When he was tired, he would take out his sister's picture album to look at it.
When I look up at the starry sky at night, I wonder what my mother and sister are doing, and whether my elder brother and grandfather and uncles are safe at the border.
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye.
So when the list of successful candidates came out, he couldn't wait any longer and just wanted to return to the capital as soon as possible.
Miaomiao regained her composure and looked up at the handsome and bright face. "Second brother, what did you eat to grow so tall all of a sudden?"
Jiang Ziyan was stunned and laughed.
The little girl was very clever and he was a little bit unable to catch her at first.
He just scratched the tip of her nose out of habit.
When Miaomiao saw that her second brother was silent, she didn't know what to say. Maybe he had already said all the nagging in his usual letters.
My second brother seems to have changed and become less talkative.
If it were in the past, I would definitely chat with her, or ask her how her homework was going and whether she had practiced her calligraphy well.
But now, he just looked at her and smiled quietly.
Could it be that he has become stupid from reading too much?
Come to think of it, it's impossible. How could the person who wins the championship be a nerd?
Seeing A Niang and Aunt Xiu Xiu enter the house, Miao Miao withdrew her thoughts and asked, "Second brother, have Sister Qiao and brother-in-law returned to the Sun family?"
"No, they should still be on the way." Jiang Ziyan left Jiangzhou before them.
After learning about his sister's life experience, he also heard that the situation in the capital was serious.
He was really worried.
I rushed back as fast as I could.
In fact, there is another reason, which is to hide from people.
Lu Qingyao brought in some midnight snacks for her son. She was also curious about why her son came back first. Now they could take care of each other.
"Yan'er, did you encounter any trouble in Jiangzhou, or are you hiding from someone?"
Jiang Ziyan was stunned. "Mother, how did you know that?"
"You are my daughter, how could I not know?" Lu Qingyao smiled.
Her son is handsome, even better than Jiang Yunze. His character, appearance and talent are better than his father's.
With such good looks, he still won the first place.
The young ladies from various families are all chasing after Yan'er to marry her.
Now that my father has been rehabilitated and the Lu family has been revived, the entire bamboo shoot industry in Jiangzhou is hers again.
As the grandson of a great general, she didn't believe that Yan'er, the young master of Lu's family, was not liked by the people of Jiangzhou.
I'm afraid that all the officials, big and small, and families with daughters in Jiangzhou are waiting to find a husband for their daughter through the list.
As a result, he hid himself.
Jiang Ziyan helped her mother sit down and said solemnly, "Mom, there is something I want to tell you. Can you help me think of a solution?"
"Oh! What's the matter?" Lu Qingyao raised her eyebrows.
"Mother, you don't know. The officials in Jiangzhou are crazy. As soon as I finished the imperial examination, they blocked me outside the examination room. They all wanted to marry their daughters to me. Even those who were engaged came close to me. I was almost eaten alive by them..."
Xiuxiu almost spit out the tea she had just drunk. She wiped her mouth and asked, "Then how did you get away?"
"Brother, what next? Do you have any favorites?" Miaomiao came over and asked impatiently.
Jiang Ziyan rolled his eyes at her and continued to say to her mother, "I'll have them come to see me on the day the results are announced."
"So you sneaked away as soon as the results were announced, without waiting for your sister, and without taking the water route, and rushed back on horseback?" Lu Qingyao smiled and pursed her lips.
She really doesn't need to worry about the second child.
If it were the eldest brother, he would not be able to refuse, and he would probably bring back a lot of wives and concubines.
But I'm afraid that things like this will happen occasionally in the future.
Jiang Ziyan nodded, served his mother a cup of tea, and hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Mother, I don't want to get married so early, nor do I want to get engaged so early. If anyone comes to your house, can you help me reject them all? If it doesn't work out, just say that I have a hard life. The Taoist priest said that I have the appearance of a wife-killer..."
Lu Qingyao was so shocked that she almost sat on the ground, staring at her son, "What nonsense are you talking about? How can you use fate to make random comments? Rumors can melt gold. What if we really can't get married in the future?"
Jiang Miaomiao opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.
My second brother is really awesome too.
Others are afraid of not being able to get married, but he is afraid that girls will depend on him.
Who says good-looking people have no worries? There are many worries.
Jiang Ziyan smacked his lips and muttered with his head down, "Mom, even if we don't talk about fate, please help me push it all away, especially my father. I'm worried that he will arrange my marriage on his own initiative in order to curry favor with the powerful."
"Don't worry, mother is here. Jiang Yunze won't be able to use your marriage to climb up the social ladder." If her son hadn't reminded her, Lu Qingyao almost forgot about it.
Jiang Yunze no longer pretends to be shameless.
Feng'er's marriage has been decided, and it is to Princess Rong'an. I don't think he would dare to have any objection.
The most difficult one to deal with is Yan'er.
After the beginning of spring comes the Spring Examination. If one is lucky enough to be selected, the Palace Examination will follow.
By then, Jiang Yunze would probably be looking for a marriage partner for Yan'er everywhere.
It added a lot of trouble.
Miaomiao suddenly thought of what she had asked her father to do before. Her father said that it would be done before the Spring Examination.
She tugged at her second brother's sleeve and said, "Second brother, if your scumbag father is sent out to serve as an official, or is assigned abroad, and can't come back for three, four, or five years, will he be too busy to take care of your marriage?"
"Yes, yes, I almost forgot about this." Lu Qingyao hugged her daughter and kissed her again and again, "Miaomiao is really my sweetheart."
Miaomiao: ...
She knew that Prime Minister Cui had the ability, but she couldn't give anyone a chance to criticize her.
It would be best if Jiang Yunze made the mistake himself.
Right now, if we just catch Jiang Zijin, we might be able to use her to incriminate Jiang Yunze.
Whether it is being sent abroad or assigned abroad, it is a natural thing.
As long as you don't get in the way of your son, it's fine.
Lu Qingyao looked at Xiuxiu who was eating melon seeds on the side and said, "Xiu'er, go to that house again tomorrow and see if you can find any trace of Jiang Zijin."
"Sister, I'm afraid she ran away. This girl is always good at escaping." Xiuxiu has been there several times, but still found nothing.
Logically there should be a place like a secret room.
But a small secret room was found in the study, and nothing else.
Jiang Zijin seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth.
Miaomiao raised her little hand and said, "I want to go too."
"Miaomiao, where is your Xiaobai? Why don't you take Xiaobai with you? Xiaobai has a keen nose." When Jiang Ziyan came back, he found that Xiaobai was not at home.
Otherwise, I would be taking a nap in front of my sister right now.
Miaomiao said with a sad face, "Xiaobai has a wife and has forgotten his mother. He left with his wife. I will go to the suburbs to see if she is still there tomorrow."
Lu Qingyao looked at her son and said, "You haven't seen your grandmother since you came back, right? She always misses you. Take Miaomiao to see her tomorrow, and then go find Xiaobai."
"good……"
