Chapter 92: I won't let her have her wish
Someone in the crowd recognized Jiang Lianzhi and recalled the rumors in Beijing.
It was said that this minister had come to ask for marriage before, so wasn't this a good opportunity for a hero to save the beauty? So they all made way for her.
The upstairs location is good, and Chen Yu can have a panoramic view of the scene on the street.
It is not a coincidence that although this herbal medicine shop is not the largest in Shengjing, it is the only way for Jiang Lian to return home.
The place she chose was so coincidental, and the time of her fainting was also so coincidental that Chen Yu had to doubt Chen Yan's motives.
This stupid sister regarded the Jiang family as her lifeline in her previous life and ran to the Jiang Mansion every day. It seems that she is still the same in this life and has not made much progress.
But Chen Yu was still not completely sure. What if there really were such coincidences in this world?
She reached out and grabbed a few peanuts from the small plate on the table and threw one into her mouth.
Jiang Lianzhi had already squatted downstairs beside Shen Yan. Since it was forbidden for men and women to touch each other, he did not take any action but just watched from the side.
The maid cried out of breath, "Sir, what can we do? Madam is seriously ill and now the young lady is left alone."
The crowd of onlookers were whispering to each other and sighing.
Jiang Lianzhi pondered and said, "Send him back to Shen's house first. Gao Jin, send someone to invite the doctor and go directly to Shen's house."
"Help your young lady up." Jiang Lianzhi said to the maid.
The maid tried to lift the person up but failed. She cried and blamed herself, "I am useless. If I had known earlier, I would have persuaded the young lady not to go to the general's tomb every day."
Jiang Lianzhi asked, "What are you going to do at General Shen's grave?"
The maid said, "Before, many people went to mourn, so the young lady didn't go to the general's tomb often. But now there are fewer people going there, and how many people still remember it? The young lady said she was afraid that they would be lonely, so she went to chat with them every day."
The maid's words were so moving that she cried.
Some people with shallow eye sockets in the crowd were already wiping away tears.
The maid added, "The young lady said that the eldest lady loves to be lively."
Jiang Lianzhi was distracted by the words "young lady loves to be lively".
He remembered that in the previous life, when Chen Yu first entered the Jiang Mansion, she was more lively and would occasionally play with the servants. Later, her mother scolded her all day long, and gradually she became quiet. He thought she liked quietness, but now thinking back, she originally loved excitement.
The more Jiang Lianzhi thought about it, the more distressed he felt, and his throat rolled violently.
He didn't believe that she was dead, but where was she?
Chen Yu really loves the hustle and bustle, and is currently lying on the windowsill watching.
want
If Chen Yan hadn't brought her up, she would have sighed that Chen Yan had used this trick well.
Not only did he clear himself of the previous bad reputation in public and gain a good reputation, but he also won Jiang Lianzhi's favor, killing two birds with one stone.
It seems that Chen Yan is trying her best to squeeze into the Jiang Mansion, but she doesn't know that the Jiang Mansion is not a good home. Not to mention there is a vicious mother-in-law, there is also Lin Qingli, who is Jiang Lianzhi's childhood sweetheart.
The person was still lying on the ground. Jiang Lianzhi thought for a moment and told Gao Jin: "Send Miss Shen to the carriage."
Gao Jin responded, rolled up his sleeves and was about to hug Chen Yan.
The maid hurriedly stopped him, "Sir, this is not good. After all, he is a servant, and a man."
There was no strict separation between men and women in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Women did not have to cover their faces when walking on the street, and they could sit at the same table with men. However, it was still inappropriate to let a servant get close to and hug her in public.
Chen Yu smiled. It was not appropriate for a servant to hold her, but would it be okay for Jiang Lianzhi to hold her? This girl had a good idea. She held her in public and blackmailed Jiang Lianzhi.
Chen Yu tossed the peanuts in her hand, wondering whether she should let them pair up.
But Chen Yan still dares to use her as a scapegoat now. It seems that her memory has not grown long enough.
There is a saying that goes, if I know that you are happy, then I will be unhappy. She refused to let Shen Yan get her wish.
Shen Yu threw another peanut into her mouth and kept one in her hand.
Without any further hesitation, he flicked his finger and a peanut shot out, hitting Chen Yan's waist.
Shen Yan groaned in pain and jumped up immediately.
The crowd exploded.
"Hey, wake up, wake up."
"Just wake up."
Chen Yan tried hard to hold back the pain, not knowing whether Jiang Lianzhi had noticed or not. She looked away from Jiang Lianzhi, not daring to look him in the eye.
Jiang Lianzhi stood up and said, "Since Miss Shen Er has woken up, please go back to the mansion on your own."
The maid helped Shen Yan up. Shen Yan covered her sleeves and coughed twice. "I don't know what happened just now. I felt dizzy all of a sudden."
The maidservant covered up for her, "Young lady has lost her appetite these past few days. She looks thinner. She didn't eat in the morning. It would be strange if she didn't faint. Young lady must eat well from now on."
"I see." Shen Yan said softly, and bowed to Jiang Lianzhi, "Thank you for the rescue, sir."
Jiang Lianzhi said calmly: "Since Miss Shen Er is not feeling well, you should return home earlier."
He looked at the inconspicuous peanut on the ground, then raised his head to look at the teahouse diagonally opposite. The windows on the second floor facing the street were half open.
Jiang Lianzhi walked towards the teahouse
Go, followed by Gao Jin, and go straight up the stairs.
The waiter hurriedly followed, "What kind of tea would you like to drink, sir? We also have a private room."
Jiang Lianzhi turned a deaf ear to him, walked along the corridor, calculated the position and stopped in front of a door, pointing at it.
"I want this one."
The waiter said, "Unfortunately, this room is already occupied. Why don't you choose another one?"
"I want this one." Jiang Lianzhi raised his hand and pushed open the door.
The waiter had no time to stop him and had to hide by the door.
Jiang Lianzhi glanced around. This was not considered a good teahouse in Shengjing. The decoration in the private room was simple and clear. There was only a man standing in front of the window.
The man standing in front of the window turned around, still holding a cup of tea in his hand, and said in an unhappy tone, "What are you doing? Can't you see that your young master is drinking tea here?"
The waiter apologized repeatedly: "Sorry, sorry, I will take this guest out right away."
"No need." Pei Chunli raised his hand to stop him, glanced at Jiang Lianzhi and said, "This is our famous Minister, Lord Jiang, would you like to stay for a cup of tea?"
Jiang Lianzhi smiled, "So it's the young marquis. Why are you interested in drinking tea here alone?"
Pei Chunli said nonchalantly: "I wasn't planning to drink tea, but when I saw someone fainted on the street, I came up alone to see what was happening. Lord Jiang is such a hero saving a beautiful girl, I really envy him."
Jiang Lianzhi lowered his eyes, "Then I won't disturb the young marquis from watching the fun. Jiang takes his leave."
The waiter closed the door and followed Jiang Lian downstairs.
When they reached the stairs, Jiang Lianzhi suddenly stopped and asked, "Was he the only one in that private room just now?"
The waiter replied, "Your Excellency, there is only one young marquis here. When he came, he hurriedly said he wanted to find the best seat, so I led him to that room."
Jiang Lianzhi nodded slightly and left.
"My lord, do you suspect it is Young Marquis Pei?" Gao Jin asked.
Jiang Lianzhi said: "If he is the only one in the room, then it must be him."
Gao Jin was puzzled, "But there are no peanuts in that room."
Jiang Lianzhi tilted his head and said, "Look back inside the store."
Gao Jin looked back and saw that this was the first floor of the teahouse. The lobby was full of tables, and there was a plate of peanuts on every table where there were guests.
Gao Jin immediately understood that many teahouses would provide such free snacks, and if they didn't, it would seem deliberate.
"No matter who it is, it means that person has no ill will towards us, and may even be giving us a kind reminder." Jiang Lianzhi looked up again.
"But if Pei Chunli is the only one here, it means he hides too deeply."
