auspicious time has come

Chapter 184 Is He Safe?
Hearing this, Heng Yu inevitably had a moment of speculation in his heart.

But there is no hesitation.

Since she came tonight, she was ready for everything.

Heng Yu followed the female envoy and left the table, heading towards Jiang Xuexi's residence.

On the way, Hengyu watched the surroundings without any trace, and never stopped to distinguish in her heart - the direction she was going to was indeed the residence of the female relatives in the dignified mansion.

Cuihuai followed behind her own girl, also paying attention carefully, not daring to relax at all.

Before the girl came, she had been told that she was in Jiang's mansion tonight, so she should not be careless at all, and she had to be vigilant everywhere.

But the journey was very peaceful, without any suspicious disturbances.

When Hengyu was invited into Jiang Xuexi's courtyard, a female messenger came out of the inner room with an empty medicine bowl.

Hengyu entered the room, and when the female envoy entered the inner room to communicate, only Jiang Xuexi's slightly weak voice came out through the bead curtain: "Madam Ji, please come in and talk."

As Heng Yu walked in, the two female envoys who were originally serving in the inner room withdrew and stood guard outside.

This obviously means to speak alone.

"Miss Ji, please sit down." Jiang Xuexi said softly.

After Hengyu sat down, she said slowly: "Miss Ji is invited here for two reasons... One is that there are more people today, and I have never had the opportunity to have a good talk with Lady Ji. .”

She said, with a somewhat apologetic face: "Such an unpleasant incident happened in the garden today. It is because I did not make proper arrangements. Lady Ji is wronged."

Facing those apologetic eyes, Heng Yu smiled: "Miss Jiang doesn't need to care about such small things, and I have never suffered a disadvantage, so why bother to talk about grievances. Besides, Miss Jiang has already done justice for me, hasn't she?"

Such a gentle girl, at that time in the garden, directly issued an order to drive away guests.

Jiang Xuexi looked at Hengyu when she heard the words, and said earnestly with a smile: "Miss Ji has a straightforward and open-minded temperament, which is really enviable and yearning."

As she spoke, the subject changed: "Speaking of which, Mrs. Ji is so smart, she must think it's a bit weird for me to suddenly organize this birthday banquet, right?"

When Hengyu heard this, she didn't deny it, and simply expressed her curiosity: "I thought that Miss Jiang should have a quiet temperament."

The curiosity shown by the girl made Jiang Xuexi smile a little deeper: "I didn't know if I was Xijing, after all, I didn't try to make a fuss, did I? In fact, this birthday party was held last year. After seeing Mrs. Ji, I gradually came up with ideas."

Heng Yu was quite surprised.

Is it because of her?

Seeing her expression, Jiang Xuexi sighed with self-pity and self-pity: "That's right, Mrs. Ji has a lot of friends, and her life is so fulfilling, so I don't have time to take the few words from last year to my heart... I think it's just me." Those who are sick, weak and idle will cherish it so much."

Heng Yu couldn't help laughing.

It turns out that Miss Jiang is so cute and lively.

But why did this sound so familiar to her?
It's like how Grandpa Bai accused her family, A Weng——

She also knew that although most of these words were meant as a joke, there was also a part or two of sincerity. The girl who had been ill for a long time and was trapped within the high wall was not only bound by her body, but when she suddenly came into contact with her "Alien", or indeed impressive.

"So Miss Jiang also wants to try this lively feeling?"

"Yes." Jiang Xuexi nodded and smiled, "That's why I invited so many people."

"Does Miss Jiang like this excitement?" Heng Yu asked with a smile.

Jiang Xuexi thought for a while, but shook her head: "It's lively, but it's really noisy..."

Heng Yu smiled: "Try it to know whether you like it or not, whether it suits you or not."

"I think so too." Speaking of this, Jiang Xuexi rarely showed a look of anticipation in his eyes: "In the past few months, I have listed a lot of things I want to try... Today's birthday party is a head start. one piece."

Facing the pair of pure eyes at this moment, at this moment Hengyu abandoned everything else, and said sincerely: "If there is anything I can help, Miss Jiang just ask."

Jiang Xuexi smiled and said in a low voice, "I'm just waiting for this sentence."

Heng Yu nodded and said with a smile: "Well, I can probably hear it."

Jiang Xuexi couldn't help but pursed her lips and laughed.

After a while, he said: "Since we will have to bother Mrs. Ji in the future, how about I brazenly call Mrs. Ji a little sister Heng?"

"Sister Jiang just yells as she pleases."

"After getting sister Heng's call, I feel that today's birthday banquet is really worth it." Jiang Xuexi said, and then sighed with a smile: "Although I know that sister Heng's call of sister is not for me alone. Yes, but I am satisfied."

Hengyu laughed: "Although there are more than one sister, but Sister Jiang is the only one."

Jiang Xuexi said: "Then when you meet a lady surnamed Jiang in the future, don't call her elder sister so easily, and remember to leave it to me alone."

Heng Yu came down, and when they finished speaking, they looked at each other and laughed out loud.

The two chatted happily, and at the same moment, Jiang Zhengfu, who was dealing with official business in the study, closed a folded official document, and asked the steward who had just come in to report, "Have all the previous guests left the house?"

"Going back to Lord Lang, we've been away for more than half of the time. The girl was a little tired, so she went back to the courtyard to rest first."

"Did you drink the medicine on time?"

"Lord, don't worry, just drink it." The steward paused and said, "There is just one thing worth mentioning... Before Lord Lang returned home today, Princess Jiayi came to the mansion."

Jiang Zhengfu's brows moved slightly: "Princess Jiayi? Xi'er shouldn't have sent a post to the East Palace."

"Yes, Princess Jiayi is not here by invitation, but for the second girl from the Ji family who is here today." The steward said: "According to the servants, Princess Jiayi worshiped the second girl from the Ji family as a teacher. "

"Teacher?" Jiang Zhengfu frowned after being stunned for a moment, "Your Highness the Crown Prince doesn't even know how to restrain the child if he is making such a fool of himself."

Knowing that the relationship between his lord and His Royal Highness has become more and more rigid in recent years, especially on the matter of Dingbei Hou, the voice of the steward unconsciously became more respectful: "... Xu thinks that he is just a princess anyway. , in addition to doting and doting, it is also more relaxed and casual in choosing a teacher."

Jiang Zhengfu's expression was stern: "What about the princess and the prince, they are all of the blood of the Tian family, how could they be so unruly."

"Master Lang is right." The manager changed the focus of the topic: "But having said that, I don't know how this second girl from the Ji family coaxed the favor of Princess Jiayi..."

coax?
A thought flashed across Jiang Zhengfu's eyes.

The steward said again: "Even the girl treats him differently. At this moment, Mrs. Ji Er is still talking to the girl."

Jiang Zhengfu narrowed his eyes slightly.

After a while, he whispered to the steward.

The cool night wind came in through the slightly opened window lattice, and along with the night wind, there was also a new moth that rushed towards the lantern.

The steward, with quick eyes and quick hands, swung up his sleeves and swooped down the unsightly moth.

……

"Sister Jiang hasn't said the second thing yet."

After the two chatted and laughed for a while, Heng Yu reminded.

Jiang Xuexi's eyes fell on her waist, and her smile subsided a little: "Actually, it's not a serious matter, I just think sister Heng's purse is very unique, and I want to ask if it was made by sister Heng. "

Hengyu's eyes flickered slightly.

There is not even a single embroidery on this purse, so it doesn't seem to be very eye-catching, right?
She said calmly, "I didn't make it, it's just an ordinary purse with some mosquito-repelling herbs in it."

Even though they did have a happy conversation just now, and she could sense the sincerity of this sister Jiang's friendship, she didn't think her precautions were completely unnecessary.

Even if this vigilance seems narrow, she must always maintain it, not just today.

This is Jiang Mansion.

And this purse, she got it from Xiao Mu.

Based on her position, she had to think a little more.

"Mosquito repellent purse..." Jiang Xuexi was even more stunned for a moment, and said in a daze: "I used to have an old friend, every spring and summer, he would make such a purse and give it to me, with the rope tied around the mouth The knot is exactly the same as Sister Heng's...it's quite a coincidence."

She first noticed the purse because of the knot.

Hengyu never expected to hear such a sentence.

old friend...

"The old friend who dare to ask Sister Jiang is..." she asked tentatively.

"I met him when I was young and grew up with me..." Jiang Xuexi's eyes gradually became distant: "It's just that I haven't seen him for many years, and I don't even know if he is still alive."

Heng Yu glanced down at the purse on her waist.

This purse is from the hands of military doctor Yan...

"So I want to take the liberty to ask my sister, where did you get this purse?" Jiang Xuexi looked extremely cautious when speaking, lowered her voice again and again, and there was irrepressible hope in her eyes: "To be honest, sister , my old friend... even if he is still in this world, I am afraid that it is not appropriate to reveal his past identity, I will keep my mouth shut as always, I just want to know... is he safe now?"

Looking at those eyes, Heng Yu hesitated for a moment, but still chose to remain rational.

"This purse was begged from a good friend. As for where it came from, I don't know yet." She said: "If this matter is very important to Sister Jiang, I will ask that good friend when I get back."

Her considerations are not only for herself, but also for Xiao Mu and Doctor Yan.

Even though she wouldn't be able to guess whether the Jiang family girl's move was a temptation with ulterior motives, but in any case, she couldn't make up her own mind and tell other people's life-and-death secrets without authorization.

Xiao Mu is a descendant of the Shi family, and Military Doctor Yan is also an old servant of the Shi family. Once an incident occurs, it will be a capital offense - and it can be heard that the Jiang family girl knows this very well.

But at the same time, she couldn't claim to deny and reject all possibilities for Doctor Yan, so she chose to leave a little room for reincarnation so that she could return the right to choose to Doctor Yan.

"Yes, it's very important..." Jiang Xuexi nodded, with a bit of earnestness in her eyes: "So please trouble sister Heng to find out for me."

Heng Yu nodded: "No matter what the result is, I will inform Sister Jiang as soon as possible."

Jiang Xuexi's eyes were slightly red, and she showed a smile: "Sister Heng, thank you very much."

Realizing that she couldn't suppress the ups and downs of emotions, Heng Yuxin had a guess and asked: "Dare to ask the person that Sister Jiang is looking for, whose name is it?"

"His surname is Yue, a single name." Jiang Xuexi's voice was extremely soft, as if he was carefully guarding an extremely important thing: "Sister Heng is so smart, she must be able to guess that this name should not be spread out. ..."

"Yes, I understand that this matter can only be heard secretly." Heng Yu said seriously: "Sister Jiang, don't worry, I will keep this secret."

Whether it is Doctor Yan or Sister Jiang, no matter which side's secret it is, she will keep it safe.

Yue Yan...

Heng Yu repeated the name in her heart, and she already had the answer in her heart.

After Hengyu bid farewell and left, Jiang Xuexi came to the dressing table and opened a locked dowry.

Inside is a bracelet made of foxtail grass, which has long since withered.

Under the bracelet, there is a new piece of paper.

The too slender hand took out the water rippled paper, took the Luo Zidai beside it, and gently crossed out the three words "birthday feast" on the first line.

Jiang Xuexi's fingers lightly landed on the last line.

Compared with other wishes, this line is written a bit longer——

Find Yue Yan, know that he is safe, and meet him.

……

After Hengyu came out of Jiang Xuexi's residence, she couldn't leave Jiang's mansion directly.

When she was walking to the front yard, a well-dressed man in charge stopped her, raised his hand in salute, and said to her——

"My lord intends to invite Mrs. Ji Er to tell her a story."

A look of surprise appeared on Hengyu's face: "Jiang Linggong wants to see me?"

"Yes, Mrs. Ji, please—" the steward raised his hand to signal.

Heng Yu raised his eyebrows slightly: "I haven't agreed to go yet, you Jiang's house is not going to ask the guests if they agree?"

A dandy must naturally look like a dandy.

Besides, she had to judge something from the other party's reaction.

"..." The steward obviously choked, and after a while he said: "It's because my words and deeds are not good enough, since I'm asking you, there's no reason to force it."

The girl didn't know if she was satisfied with the answer, so she asked again: "I don't know why Jiang Linggong wants to see me?"

"This... the master didn't say anything." For a while, the steward felt quite uncertain about the little girl, and dared not answer without authorization.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the other party raised his foot and wanted to leave.

This……

When the steward saw this and was about to talk again, he saw that the other party was walking in the direction he indicated when he asked for it.

"Let's go." The little girl said in a nonchalant tone without looking back.

"..." This unpredictable behavior confused the manager for a while, and he answered "Yes" after a while, and followed up to lead the way.

The steward stepped forward and knocked on the door of the outer study, and a solemn voice came from inside: "Come in."

Heng Yu clenched his sleeves slightly.

It hides the sleeve arrow made by Mr. Su, which can kill people with one blow.

The steward pushed the door open and she walked in.

The lights in the study are dimly lit.

Hengyu's gaze searched for a moment, before he saw the thin lead-colored figure standing in front of the bookshelf.

The owner of the back heard the footsteps, turned around, and a pair of majestic and restrained eyes looked at her accurately.

　good night everyone good night~
