Chapter 38
"I do not want to go."

Jiang Ci stood on the stairs, and Jiang Yuanshan stood below to persuade him for a while.

"Aci, Qiancheng has given you so many books, can't you help him this time?"

Jiang Shu immediately took advantage of her weakness.

Seeing her hesitate, he continued: "Even if you don't want to marry him, you are still friends, aren't you?"

Jiang Yuanshan glared at him and told him not to talk nonsense.

And Jiang Ci was also shaken.

"Then I'll help him, but I don't want to get engaged."

Jiang Shu immediately stopped Dad Jiang who wanted to refute.

"Okay, let's go then."

When she left the front hall, Jiang Yuanshan questioned him: "Jiang Shu, what did you promise her?"

"Dad..." Jiang Shu sighed softly, "You are too anxious. Ah Ci has only seen Qiancheng a few times, and you are already planning to get married? Since both of them are engaged, are you still afraid of someone Will it be a hindrance? You have to give her time to accept it."

Father Jiang was wronged, but still snorted arrogantly and left the front hall.

In the Shuijing Pavilion, the largest venue and terrace outside the stage were all booked.

"What kind of banquet is this?"

Duan Yan'an, who had just come to look for Mr. Bai, stood on the verandah on the second floor and watched.

Gu Zhi's eyes froze for a moment, as if he suddenly remembered something.

"...Mr. Wen is going to entertain Xiaqian City."

"Why is there so much smoke in Xiaqian City?" He turned around and walked in.

"I heard that Lai Yan lived for a while, and...he seems to be engaged to the Jiang family."

Gu Zhi looked at the man who stopped suddenly, nodded and responded: "There have been rumors before, and the subordinates forgot to report it to the young commander."

"Did Jiang Yuanshan go north this time, and set up with Xia's family?"

"Yes."

Duan Yan'an walked back to the railing again, frowning, scanning the people coming and going outside the eaves.

"Mr. Wen didn't invite Jiang's family, but logically, Ms. Jiang is coming." Gu Zhi reported again from his side.

He didn't answer, but his expression was calm, as if he was thinking about something.

At this time, Xia Qiancheng had entered the Shuijing Pavilion together with Mr. Wen.

The guests who arrived first all stretched their necks to watch.

Lin Qiao directly pulled Wu Hanyan forward.

"Mr. Wen." After exchanging greetings, she looked at Xia Qiancheng, "Mr. Xia, I have admired you for a long time."

Xia Qiancheng nodded in return: "Miss Lin."

"Mr. Xia." Wu Hanyan also greeted gracefully, "Long time no see."

"Long time no see, Miss Wu."

Xia Qiancheng returned the salute with a smile. He always admired Wu Hanyan.

Not to be outdone, Mr. Wen called his daughter, Wen Wanchu.

"Wanchu, this is Qiancheng."

A woman with a traditional hairstyle came over, her appearance was as gentle as her name.

"Mr. Xia."

After the girl greeted her, she immediately lowered her eyes.

Lin Qiao looked at several people, guessed Mr. Wen's intention, and then took a step back.

"This Mr. Xia is really romantic..."

"Don't you know that he is already engaged to the Jiang family?"

"what?"

Lin Qiao's expression was the same as that of the stunned person. She turned her head to look at the two people who were talking.

"Engaged to the Jiang family?" She stepped forward and asked directly.

The woman was stunned for a moment before returning to her: "Yes, Boss Jiang made an appointment with the Xia family when he went north this time."

"Is it Jiang Ci?"

"The Jiang family only has one daughter, but it's her."

Another person responded: "Then Miss Jiang has a pair of peculiar golden pupils. I don't know how the Xia family agreed to it?"

"That's right, there were rumors of an engagement with Mr. Wen before, and it seems that because of this, Mr. Wen has not settled on this marriage for a long time..."

Lin Qiao listened to the conversation between the two with eyes full of surprise.

And because Jiang Ci stayed at home for a long time, when she arrived at Shuijing Pavilion, there were only a few people at the door.

As soon as she entered the main entrance, she could already hear the sound of the play opening.

"Excuse me, how is Mr. Wen's banquet going?"

The guard who was being questioned just stepped forward to show her the way, but when he saw the approaching figure, he backed away again.

"you want to go?"

Jiang Ci turned his head in response, and immediately stepped on the stone steps and ran towards him.

Duan Yan'an took the invitation card in her hand, flipped it open, and asked, "Are you going?"

"Jiang Shu asked me to help Mr. Xia...because he doesn't like Miss Wen."

He raised his hand to wipe away the rain and mist from her collar, and began to coax again: "If he doesn't like it, he can just refuse without your help."

"That's what I said too, but he said that he couldn't refuse Mr. Wen directly." She sighed deeply inexplicably.

Duan Yan'an leaned over and held her hand, leading her in the opposite direction.

"You don't have to worry about it."

Jiang Ci also followed him, but he was still worried in his heart.

The two walked through the veranda, stepped on the wooden stairs leading to the second floor, and reached the veranda on the second floor not far from the Wen family banquet.

The vermilion of the eaves porch is particularly conspicuous in the gloomy weather.

Jiang Ci looked back a few times, and asked anxiously: "Then what if Mr. Xia really needs help?"

He stopped at the sound, turned around, his expression darkened, he only took a step forward, and was already close to her.

Duan Yan'an slowly bent down to look at her at the same level, and slowly stroked her eyebrows with the other hand.

"Are you worried about him?"

Jiang Ci's heart trembled, and he immediately responded: "But he gave me a lot of books, shouldn't I help him?"

"It's just some books..." He seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and the gloom in his brows and eyes dissipated, "Where is it worth putting yourself in?"

"I don't want to be engaged..." When she thought of the engagement, she felt reluctant to part with him, and immediately hugged the person close to her, "If I want to marry Mr. Xia, I have to leave Yandu...but I don't want to go to Beidu .”

The hand he put on her waist slowly tightened gradually, and the other hand lightly placed on her back, patting her lightly.

In her heart, Duan Yan'an will always be her direction and reliance.Among the group of people surrounding her, Duan Yan'an was also the absolute winner.

"You don't need to leave Cigarettes...I will get rid of this relationship."

"Really?" Her eyes lit up suddenly, and she looked up at him, "Do you mean what you say?"

"Of course it counts." There was a smile in his eyes, like a spring breeze, trying to blow the flowers all over the mountain, "It's cold outside, let's go in first."

"it is good."

After walking through the eaves corridor, you enter the innermost pavilion, corresponding to vermilion and emerald green.The second floor of the building connects it with other pavilions and pavilions through several eaves corridors.

Entering the pavilion, you will be greeted by a gorgeous and spacious stage. In the compartments on each floor, there are people sitting and listening to the opera, and people coming and going in the corridor are people serving tea for the guests.

Duan Yan'an took her up to the third floor, and found the room specially reserved for Mr. Bai with ease.

When Gu Zhi saw the person approaching, he immediately stood up, saw Jiang Ci beside him, and was inexplicably relieved for the young marshal.

"Mr. Bai is inside."

He nodded slightly, then pushed the door open and entered.
