Chapter 44

Jiang Nuan had drunk too much at this time, squinted slightly and said: "Since we are friends, I would like to advise you two. Don't...don't go out for a walk alone at night."

"When did you sneak out for a walk?" Xu Chunjun never knew about it.

"This is too embarrassing. If it weren't for the wine to cover my face today, I still wouldn't dare to say it." Jiang Nuan said, covering her face.

"What's so funny, tell me quickly, let us also hear how you are ashamed." Xu Chunjun pushed her and Cui urged.

Jiang Nuan lay down on the table and laughed for a while, before saying: "On the way to Beijing, because I was bored and didn't want to drag other people to suffer together, I wanted to sneak outside at night when they were all asleep. Going to relax. That day I rested in an inn, and the moonlight was just right that night, so I climbed out the window. It was quiet outside, and it was cool and pleasant. I was thinking about things alone, walking slowly, unconsciously I entered a remote alley. A man came out of nowhere, with a knife in his hand, he came up behind me and said he wanted to borrow five taels of silver from me."

Xu Chunjun heard this and said, "You have met a villain!"

Jiang Nuan said: "Maybe so! But he is quite polite, and the dagger is not out of its sheath."

Cen Yunchu said: "Presumably this person's nature is not bad, but he just encountered difficulties."

Jiang Nuan took a sip of his wine and said: "He himself said so, and I had no other choice at the time. Thinking that money is just something outside of me, and it is more important to save my life, I handed him the money bag. Just take it and don't hurt me.

At that time, I had some scattered silver and a few golden melon seeds in my purse. He always had three or fifty taels together, but he really only took five taels and left. "

Xu Chunjun said: "If so, then he is not really used to being a thief."

Jiang Nuan said: "I thought so too. He also asked me where I was going, and I said I was going to Beijing. He said that he would definitely return the money to me, and told me to come out at this time when I passed through Daizhou. Everyone knows about the Lion Bridge. He will return the money to me when the time comes, and if I don’t go, I’ll have to forget it.”

Cen Yunchu heard it with great interest, and asked her: "Are you going to the appointment later?"

Jiang Nuan asked back: "What do you guess?"

Xu Cen and Xu Cen both said: "With your temperament, how can there be any reason not to go?"

Jiang Nuan patted the table and said, "Cough! You all know I'm stupid."

Both said: "No, it's just that you are straightforward."

Jiang Nuan smiled wryly and said, "Actually, I'm not short of the five liang of silver, but I'm just curious if that person is really trustworthy. I really went to Lion Bridge in the dark, and ended up humiliating myself."

Xu Cen and Xu Cen asked her: "What's the matter? Could it be that the man didn't go?"

Jiang Nuan said angrily: "That bastard, he really went. It's just that instead of returning the five taels of silver, he also snatched the rest!"

"Why... why?" Xu Chunjun asked.

Jiang Nuan said: "He didn't explain anything, he just said to borrow some more money. I don't even bother to blame him, I just blame myself for being stupid and trusting a thief! This is really shameful, and besides, I sneaked out by myself , I dare not tell anyone, but now I just vomit with the strength of alcohol, and I finally feel better."

Xu Chunjun patted her on the back and said: "Don't be so unprepared in the future, it's just a loss of money. It's a good fortune. Thinking about it is really frightening. If you really meet someone bad, you will regret it later." .”

Cen Yunchu drank the wine in his glass and said: "Everyone has a lesson, if you can trust me, don't judge by your appearance."

In fact, not only Xu Chunjun and Jiang Nuan knew about it, but I'm afraid no one in the whole capital didn't know about it.

Cen Yunchu was ridiculed and looked down upon by everyone just because he asked Zuo Zhengqing to look at him.

Although she is not afraid of these people's sarcastic remarks, the taste is not good after all.

This is her, if she were someone else, she would have committed suicide a long time ago.

Jiang Nuan didn't know what to say for a while, such a thing, it is inevitable to be sad if it is deep, but it is irrelevant if it is shallow, so I can only look at Xu Chunjun helplessly.

Xu Chunjun picked up the jug, filled the glasses of the three of them, and said to Cen Yunchu: "You are right. Fate is inherently illusory and unpredictable. If you are doomed at birth, it is useless to know earlier. If it is not doomed, those who foretell Prophets are all lies. What's more, people in the world are always based on virtue. Good causes and good results, evil deeds and evil rewards, there are also innocent disasters and uncoordinated virtues. That’s it with a clear conscience.”

Hearing Xu Chunjun's words, Cen Yunchu couldn't help but feel relieved, raised his glass and said: "This is reasonable, let me toast you."

Jiang Nuan also hurriedly picked up the cup and said, "What Sister Xu said is what I want to say, but unfortunately I'm stupid, so I'll have a drink with you."

After drinking, Jiang Nuan tilted her head and asked Xu Chunjun: "My good sister, do you have any lessons to tell us?"

Hearing this, Xu Chunjun slowly put down his wine glass and said: "My lesson, you two probably won't meet each other. I am a concubine in my family, and my family has already fallen. Be cautious everywhere, just for a little safety."

"Speaking of which, I only know your surname is Xu, what is the identity of your ancestor?" Cen Yunchu asked.

"There's nothing to lie about," Xu Chunjun responded indifferently, "My grandfather was a minister of official affairs in the previous dynasty."

Cen Yunchu couldn't help being stunned when he heard this, and said, "No wonder you have such insight, so you are Wen Zhenggong's granddaughter!"

Jiang Nuan said: "I have long guessed that my sister is from a famous family, but we only meet each other to see if we like each other. It doesn't matter."

"Yungui is defeated. It has been more than ten years since our family was confiscated and repatriated to our ancestral home," Xu Chunjun said with a smile, "My uncle and the others were able to return to Beijing to obey orders with the permission of the Holy Spirit the month before last."

Things in the officialdom are turbulent, not something these little girls can talk about too much.

Therefore, Cen Yunchu only said: "The reforms back then were indeed effective, but most of the reformers in the past did not end well. Since your uncle and the others have been pardoned and released, it is the beginning of your family's turnaround, and it will definitely be revived in the future."

"Thank you Jiyan." Xu Chunjun thanked him, and the topic stopped there.

At this time, the sun was already in the west, and the sunset was blazing, coating the bamboo forest with a layer of gold.

"It's getting late, and it's time for us to close our glasses." Xu Chunjun said with a smile.

So I asked Xiaoer to make sour bamboo shoot soup to sober up, and everyone drank a bowl.

Cen Yunchu said: "It's agreed that I'll be the host of this drink, you two don't fight with me."

Both Xu Chunjun and Jiang Nuan were well-mannered people, and they didn't refuse, just said: "Thank you very much, we will take turns to be hosts someday, let's get together again."

With the help of the maid, several people got out of the restaurant, got into the car, and went to their respective homes.
