Jiang Shiyuan was startled: "Why are you looking at me like that? And why are you bringing up those old things for no reason?"
Jiang Shiyuan felt that Jiang Xingzhuo was quite right this day, but what was wrong? She said to come up again.
Jiang Xingzhuo gritted his teeth and said, "I'm just telling the truth. Could it be that what I said was false? I only told one of the things. I know more. For example, you walked barefoot in the winter when he was studying because you were afraid of disturbing him. For example, when he caught a cold, you went out in the rain to look for medicine for him. You were like a fool."
"I'm stupid, I told you..." Jiang Shiyuan paused and looked at him suspiciously: "Yes, what did I do, how do you know?"
"I, what do you care how I know that!"
Jiang Xingzhuo suddenly stopped, his face darkened, and he said angrily: "Hurry up, come back with me. My mother made you the sweet and crispy cookies you like to eat. I rode all the way here at full speed for a piece of cake, exhausted myself, and came to find you early in the morning, and you came here to have fun!"
Jiang Shiyuan fell silent for a moment, turned around and followed Jiang Xingzhuo back to the general's mansion.
Jiang Xingzhuo brought her large and small packages of shortbread made by Mrs. Jiang. Although they were successfully delivered to Jiang Shiyuan, they eventually broke into pieces.
When the paper package was opened, Jiang Xingzhuo's face darkened.
Jiang Shiyuan glared at him and scooped a spoonful with his spoon: "You are so considerate. You saved me from chewing it."
Jiang Xingzhuo chuckled.
What should I do? I’m so jealous of Master Pei.
…
Jiang Xingzhuo disappeared after delivering the things to her. Jiang Shiyuan sent things to the next door twice, but he was not seen.
After asking his personal guards, he learned that Jiang Xingzhuo had set up a small war zone in Bingzhou, and that he was going back to Beijing to fight in the East China Sea to wipe out the pirates and restore the East China Sea market.
He was busy negotiating with the Ministry of War and was not here to hang out.
Jiang Shiyuan did not see Jiang Xingzhuo, nor did he see Master Pei, and Master Pei was stranded in the palace without leaving.
Just like last time, Jiang Shiyuan was absent-minded the whole day because he didn't see anyone.
But it seems a little bit the same.
This time, it was my restless heart that felt like a butterfly had entered my chest, bumping here and flying there, making me feel itchy all day long, and the corners of my mouth seemed to be out of control, with my heart rising as soon as I noticed it.
It was the same with Pei Taifu. Although she didn't go to the palace, she had someone send her something, including a letter.
The things were the horse she had been longing for and a hibiscus flower from the imperial garden.
The gift of Sponge Cake was freshly washed and given a new saddle, which was shiny and oiled.
The hibiscus flower was also in full bloom, with a rich fragrance, and was paired with a white jade vase, the usual Pei style.
It is pleasing to the eye and worth the money.
Compared to the things, Pei Taifu's letter was much simpler, with only one sentence:
What else do you want? 】
Jiang Shiyuan took the letter and read it over and over again.
The last time I looked at it this way was when he gave my first comment 20 years ago.
One word: [stupid]
The word was even smudged, and it seemed that he wanted to write "stupid" at the beginning, but then he showed mercy and wrote "foolish" which sounded a little better.
Even so, she was still very angry and watched it over and over again.
Thinking of this, Jiang Shiyuan decided to write a letter back to Pei Che to reject him harshly.
After Jiang Shiyuan finished replying the letter while holding the cat, Hongdou took Song Gao for a walk in the yard, praising him highly.
"This horse is well-fed and tamed even better! I wonder which master tamed it. It's much more obedient than Chi Lian."
Upon hearing this, Chi Lian, who was standing by, snorted at Hong Dou politely, with saliva flying everywhere.
Hongdou quickly turned around to coax her: "Okay, okay, I was wrong, I was wrong, Chi Lian is the best."
Hongdou coaxed Chilian and turned to Jiang Shiyuan and said, "Miss, when will the master come to propose marriage again?"
Hongdou still feels resentful about her past mistakes, and she feels uneasy as long as the marriage has not been completed.
Jiang Shiyuan was stunned, but he didn't want to hide it, and said truthfully: "He didn't mention it."
Not only did he not mention it, but she also didn't mention it.
The two of them tacitly did not discuss this topic.
They seemed to be confirming something.
Hongdou was a little anxious, and Nanny Qin was even more anxious. She was so anxious that her mouth was bubbling these days.
The marriage was discussed in a hurry, but now half a month has passed and the wedding date is approaching, the Pei family's actions have all come to a halt.
Can you hurry up?
"Master Pei said that he was waiting for the young lady to nod. After all, you ran away that day."
Hongdou glanced at her young lady. Although she made a small mistake, it was mainly her young lady's fault.
What the Master cared about was not the letter, but the attitude of the young lady.
Looking at what the Master did over the past few days, it is not clear that he has always cared about the young lady.
Master Pei definitely loves his young lady. He must be waiting for her when he mentioned this.
Hongdou is sure.
"Taifu has been waiting for Miss for three years. Miss rejected him once three years ago and again a few days ago. No one else would dare to take such a risk."
Jiang Shiyuan was stunned, a little shaken, and a little hesitant: "What do you mean by waiting for three years? That day, the Grand Tutor was just giving me face. Others don't know about it, but do you know about it? The people who came to the palace three years ago didn't mention the marriage at all."
The emperor's order is as important as heaven. If she knew it was an appointed marriage, how could she dare to refuse?
"Even if it's an appointed marriage, it was my aunt who asked for it on my behalf. How could it be the Grand Tutor?"
Hongdou thought about it and wondered what the imperial concubine said when she sent someone to visit her three years ago.
It is said that the Pei family intends to marry into the Jiang family, and would like to ask what the young lady thinks?
The palace maid didn't even mention the word "arranged marriage". Perhaps the palace maid wanted to mention it, but the young lady refused too quickly, almost without hesitation.
"That was because you refused too quickly. You didn't even let me finish my words. The Imperial Concubine has always been kind to you. Seeing you resisting like this, she naturally dared not bring it up again."
Jiang Shiyuan felt extremely guilty. Not only did she not hear the word "granted marriage", she didn't even hear the name of the marriage partner.
"As for whether it was the Empress' request or the Imperial Tutor's, you can ask the Imperial Concubine when the young lady enters the palace again." Hongdou said.
Jiang Shiyuan had this idea.
Just like a pillow being delivered to someone who is sleepy, Jiang Shiyuan had just mentioned to Hongdou that he wanted to enter the palace when a message came from the gatehouse.
"Tomorrow, on the ninth princess' day, Imperial Concubine Lan will hold a special palace banquet and invite officials and their families in the capital to the palace for entertainment."
Jiang Shiyuan remembered Xie Ruoruo's wedding, but in previous years, even when she was a 15-year-old, Imperial Concubine Lan had arranged it for her. Who knew what she was going to do this time?
Jiang Shiyuan looked at the invitation sent from the palace quietly and was stunned for a while.
…
Yu Liang followed the instructions and sent the pine cakes that had been raised in the horse farm for many years and the flowers that the Grand Tutor had picked personally to the General's Mansion. He then returned to the palace with the reply from the future wife to report.
The pirates in the east were rampant. They had only intercepted the merchant ships of the Zhou Dynasty, but this time they went directly ashore, burning, killing, looting, and committing all kinds of evil.
The emperor was furious, and he summoned his ministers to discuss for two days, and finally formulated a set of policies to defeat the enemy.
The small side hall next to the imperial study——
Pei Che rubbed his brows, feeling a little tired.
Yu Liang pushed the door open and came in, handing over the letter.
Pei Che's brows suddenly perked up, and the corners of his lips curled up unconsciously.
Gently pulling out the letter from the envelope, shaking it open, I saw two big words written on it:
【Important】
The force of the words seems to be reflected in the back of the paper, which seems to interpret the author's incomparable steadfast will.
However, at the end of the letter, there was another line of small characters and another line of even smaller characters:
If you have some small things that take up space and are an eyesore, you might as well bring them to me so I can play with them. 】
[Note: It requires stone.] The cat plays with stones. 】
The signature is a cat's paw print.
Pei Che looked at the claw marks on the letter, and the corners of his mouth were already raised high.
