rich concubine

Chapter 681 Deep love and deep connection
The sky was clear just now, but soon it began to rain lightly.

The rain was not heavy, and it was expected to stop soon. Rong Yi was worried that the horse would get wet, so the considerate Bao'er quickly said, "The nobleman's horse has been led to a nearby place, so it won't get wet."

Rong Yi smiled at her, and Bao'er asked again: "Your Majesty, would you like something to eat? There is a chef in the shop who specializes in making pastries, and they have various flavors."

After shopping for so long, she was indeed a little hungry. She glanced at Jiang Shunxiao and said, "Let's have some of your store's specialty pastries."

Bao'er immediately went down to prepare and became quiet for a while.

There were no guests on the second floor at the moment. Most of them took the carriage and went home when they saw that the weather was not right.

Only Jiang Shunxiao and Rong Yi were still calmly sitting by the window drinking.

Rong Yi held her chin and looked out the window. Although there was drizzle, it was still bright and the air was a little fresher, not so stuffy.

She looked at the purple clothes on Jiang Shunxiao's body and suddenly remembered the first time she saw him since he returned to Beijing. He was sitting here, reportedly choosing a set of jewelry for his soon-to-be-married wife.

At that time, Master Hao also revealed to her that the set of jewelry was not much worse than the treasure of the store, which showed that the general valued his future wife.

And she was... timid at that time. She felt scared when she looked at the majestic future uncle. After all, he was a young hero who had returned from the battlefield for ten years, and his style was indeed not that of her at that time. Dare to look directly.

Recalling the past, Rong Yi sighed, it was just fate that played a trick on people...

He did have the intention to live a good life at the beginning, and marrying the lady was not just for his father's order. At that time, he only wanted to treat the lady well.

It's a pity that neither of them had the right time. At that time, the young lady was in a daze, and she still kept things secret from her at first. By the time she found out, it was too late, and she had already been involved in the situation, and she couldn't do it innocently. of outsiders.

If it were revealed that the young lady had given up on Chen Huo from the beginning, maybe everything would not be like this now. They should respect each other as guests, love and respect each other, and stay together for the rest of their lives.

Then there would be nothing wrong with me and my two children.

Seeing her looking sad in the rain, Jiang Shunxiao asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Rong Yi turned her head to look at him, bit her lip, and said, "Do you know when I first met you?"

He looked calm. Rong Yi thought he would say it was after the young lady married into the palace, but he asked instead: "Then do you know when I saw you?"

Rong Yi paused for a moment before spitting out the answer. Unexpectedly, he shook his head and smiled, pointing downstairs.

Rong Yi didn't understand it for a while. After a while, she understood it and said in surprise: "Did you see me then?"

Jiang Shunxiao nodded.

In fact, when I saw her that day, I didn't have a particularly deep impression except that my eyes lit up. But later on, when I had a relationship with her and recalled the past events with her, that scene suddenly reflected in my mind. .

It turned out that at that time, that shocking aspect was destined to be her.

I also recalled that at that time, I was shopping for jewelry for my future wife (although I was sitting here and told the people here to choose a good set), but it was indeed a fate.Unexpectedly, the wife who was about to get married was not a good match, but the little girl who was so shocked at first became a fire in his heart, burning warmly. Suddenly one day the fire spread, and he could not control himself...

In other words, everything is God's will.

People who are deeply in love are destined to meet each other sooner, and just one look can last a lifetime.

Therefore, this is one of the reasons why he brought Rong Yi to Jubaozhai today.

When the two met for the first time, they both had their own thoughts, and now they want to make up for the shortcomings at that time...

He suddenly said: "You seem to be afraid of me from the beginning?"

Although it was true, Rong Yi still did not admit it directly and only asked: "Why do you say that?"

He said: "When I came downstairs, you were sitting behind the curtain, and you were still talking to people outside. When you heard that I was coming down, you quickly lowered the curtain. You were still shaking, weren't you afraid of something? "

He remembers this so clearly? ?
Rong Yi was ashamed, she said: "You returned to Beijing for the first time and became famous all over the world. Everyone knows that you, General Ning Wei, are so popular that you are a god. Naturally, I respect and fear you, but in fact, I am more respectful than fearful. Because you are the patron saint of the allies!"

Patronus?
This statement was new, but he still said with a straight face: "Those ten years were not my fault alone. Those seniors who were older than me and my comrades who fought side by side, if they hadn't taught me real kung fu on the battlefield, they would have fought to the death with me. Attacking, I’m afraid I won’t be where I am now.”

Why does Meng Guo value a young general so much now? Is it really because those old generals are not useful, or the emperor does not fully trust him?
No, it's just a name, publicized so that everyone knows that Meng has talented people. Maybe there is something wrong with the internal affairs, but there is real fresh blood in the military and politics.

A young, brave, and invincible general can also calm the anxious people in Meng. After all, the wars in those years were always endless. The big countries wanted to take advantage of the chaos, and other small tribes also wanted to take advantage of it. Join in the fun.

No matter how big the country is, it cannot withstand repeated wars, and this war lasted for ten years.

Apart from these factors, what is more important is Jiang Shunxiao's own ability. Otherwise, there are so many young generals, and he would not be the only one to take the honorable title.

His eyes paused slightly, looking at Rong Yi's gentle and carefree expression, and said: "You are afraid of seeing me, not because you are afraid of General Ning Wei's reputation, right? If it were before, I would have believed this, but after spending so long with you, it is I don’t think this is your temperament.”

Rong Yi looked at him with a faint smile. After a long silence, she said, "It's certainly not just because of this. It's just that right now, I don't want to find out the reason."

Hearing what she said, Jiang Shunxiao stopped asking. By chance, Bao'er came up with pastries. The pastries were probably freshly made and were still steaming.

One of them was round and glutinous, looking round and cute.

Seeing her looking at the plate of pastries, Bao'er quickly asked someone to fill a basin of warm water and ask Rong Yi to clean her hands. He said, "After you clean your hands, please just eat these glutinous dumplings. The glutinous dumplings are the specialty of our store and are extremely soft." It is glutinous and sweet in the mouth, but if you use chopsticks, it may not be easy to pick it up."

Outside, Rong Yi rarely grabs something to eat directly with her hands, but now that there is no one around, the glutinous dumplings really make people salivate. After Rong Yi cleaned her hands, she picked up a piece generously and felt it. The meaning behind Bao'er's words.

The glutinous dough was so soft that people dared not squeeze it hard, so Rong Yi had no choice but to drag it with one hand and slowly bring it to his mouth with the other.
