Cure the cold-faced general by solving crimes

Chapter 70 He was frightened

When the lamp was turned on, Jiang Xihe gradually became clear from the chaos. Looking at his brother who was also staring at him under the lamp, Jiang Xihe's tears welled up again.

Jiang Xifeng smiled, took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his sister's eyes, and said slowly, "You have shed enough tears. From now on, it will be all joy. Brother will never let you cry again."

Jiang Xihe couldn't bear to blink, fearing that everything in front of him would turn into a dream the moment he blinked.

Jiang Xihe wiped away his tears fiercely and raised an arc at the corner of his mouth, "Brother, is it really you? I can't believe this is true, brother, brother, brother!"

Jiang Xihe screamed repeatedly, and Jiang Xifeng agreed firmly. The brother and sister seemed to have returned to their youth, and the sadness had never happened before.

Jiang Xifeng looked around. As soon as he returned home, he found that the house and yard of the old house had been tidied up. He asked with concern, "Xiaohe, did you tidy up the house? It took a lot of effort, right? Why did you think of repairing the house?"

Jiang Xifeng felt extremely guilty. When he left home, his sister put all the money in the family in his luggage. "Xiaohe, I'm sorry for you. When I left home, I hid some money in the cabinet. I thought I wrote to the academy to tell you, but it was only when I arrived at the academy that I discovered that you had brought all the money with me."

Jiang Xifeng's eyes turned red, "How have you spent the past six months?" He had a lot to ask.

Jiang Xihe also had a lot to say, so he confided to Jiang Xifeng the happy things first, "Brother, you still don't trust me because of my ability? We are from a poor family and have a rich life. Brother, how much property do we have now?"

Jiang Xifeng wanted to say that now that he is back and he will serve in the Hanlin Academy, their wealth can be doubled.

Jiang Xihe proudly held out two fingers, "Four hundred and sixty taels!" Even though Pei Zhizhao forced her to pay rent, Jiang Xihe enjoyed the gains.

Jiang Xifeng smiled and felt even more sorry for his sister.

"I earned all the money through my real skills. Brother, please feel free to use it."

Jiang Xifeng saw his sister immersed in pride, with a smile on her face.

He planned to tell Jiang Xihe tomorrow that he was the best girl in high school and the emperor had given him many things. When the time comes, Xiaohe would know how happy they would be if they knew how much their wealth had doubled.

Jiang Xihe had a thousand words to ask, "Brother, let's not talk about me for now. A lot of things have happened in the past few months. I will tell you one by one. Now I am very curious, how did brother turn danger into good fortune? Escape. A calamity?"

Jiang Xifeng lowered his eyes lightly, "Now that I think about it, I am really lucky. In early April, many students from our academy went to Beijing together. It happened to rain heavily when the boat was halfway through. I was at the stern of the boat and was the last to fall into the water. Fortunately, I hugged a bird on the side of the boat. Wooden oar, after I fainted, I drifted downstream with the current and was rescued by a fisherman on the Qingshui River."

Jiang Xihe thought of the scene at that time and endured his heartache, "At that time, the book boy came to Ping'an County to report his funeral, and I also fainted."

Jiang Xifeng patted the back of her hand and explained, "I had a high fever when I just woke up, and I forgot a lot of things. When I recovered, it happened to be the day of spring, so I borrowed a fast horse and hurried to Beijing. I wanted to send you a message. , and I’m afraid that I couldn’t explain clearly in the letter and make you worry, I’m afraid that you’ll come to the Qingshui River to look for me and we’ll pass by each other again, thinking about it again and again, I’m thinking that if everything is settled, I’ll come back.”

Jiang Xihe complained to his brother, "You don't know how sad I was back then."

"So as soon as the results came out, I hurried back home, just to avoid any mistakes. I sincerely apologize to you for this matter."

Jiang Xihe could also understand her brother's thoughts. As he said, if his brother had sent her a letter saying that he was still alive, Jiang Xihe would have packed her bags and gone to find her brother. "Xiaohe, the misery of the past is over. My brother promises you that he will never make you sad again. When I settle down in the capital, you can move here and enjoy life."

Jiang Xihe's eyes widened, "Brother wants me to come to Beijing?"

"Yes, I came back in a hurry. I didn't delay coming back to look for you after the results were released. When I return to Beijing, I will buy a house and a few girls, and you can live the life of a young lady. When my brother finds a good family, Let me tell you about your marriage."

Jiang Xihe thought about Pei Zhizhao, how could she go to Beijing? She can't leave him.

Jiang Xihe's face flushed, "I won't marry." If she wanted to marry, she would marry Pei Zhizhao, but how could she say these words?

"Brother, have you made plans? But I don't want to leave Ping'an County." Jiang Xihe tried to express her thoughts.

Jiang Xifeng persuaded her, "After dad left, we, brother and sister, depended on each other. Before I was studying, you made money to support me. Now that my brother has the ability to protect you, he will naturally give you the best life. You can rest assured and let your brother support you. Why?" Don’t you want to go to the capital with me?”

Jiang Xihe rubbed his little hands and murmured softly, "I want to be a lawyer, but there is no place for me in the capital."

Jiang Xifeng was stunned for a moment, then smiled and curled his lips, "My Xiaohe has ambitions. It's not difficult. This dynasty is civilized and there are female officials in the palace. If Xiaohe wants to be an official, my brother will support you to go to court."

Jiang Xihe secretly smacked her tongue. Her brother really allowed her to do whatever she wanted, but that was not her original intention. "Brother, what will happen to the family house when we move to the capital?"

"I plan to sell it, and the money from the sale will be left for you to use as a dowry. You will have the confidence to enter your husband's family in the future. My salary in the Hanlin Academy is enough to support our lives. My brother will make our lives better and better."

Jiang Xihe didn't know what to say. Her brother had even thought of this step. It was indeed beyond her expectation. If it weren't for Pei Zhizhao, she would definitely be happy with her brother's current arrangement. But now...

Jiang Xihe became depressed.

"Brother, when do you plan to stay and take up a post in Beijing?"

"The emperor has given me fifteen days of leave, plus the round trip. I can just go back to Beijing to take office at the end of the month. Starting tomorrow, we will sell the house and pack our bags. We will go back to Beijing as soon as possible. We still have to find a house and make arrangements there. Life."

Jiang Xihe didn't want to argue with his brother now, so he could only meet with Pei Zhizhao tomorrow to discuss a solution.

However, what if her brother insists on taking her to Beijing?

Or what if her brother disagrees with her being with Pei Zhizhao?

Thinking of this possibility, Jiang Xihe suddenly felt like a bucket of cold water had been poured on her, and her heart became more and more confused. On one side was her brother, and on the other was the person she liked. What if these two people didn't get along?

When Jiang Xihe was thinking wildly, Jiang Xifeng suddenly asked, "As a lawyer, don't you often deal with the county magistrate, that is, General Pingxi?"

Jiang Xihe's little face was startled, and he nodded vaguely, "Mr. Pei is very nice and helped me a lot. Look at our house. Last month, there was waterlogging in the west of the city. There was water in the house. Mr. Pei helped to repair it. Brother, right? Do you think it’s good too?”

Jiang Xifeng's expression darkened, "Oh? Then I will definitely visit him tomorrow. Thank you for his care."

Jiang Xihe introduced hurriedly, "Not only did Master Pei help me with this, Xiangzhu Academy was also rented to him. Master Pei asked me to collect a lot of rent. During my brother's absence, Master Pei took good care of me. He took care of me a few days ago. I went to Tongshan Mansion and they supported me in learning autopsy."

Jiang Xifeng was drinking tea when he choked on his throat. "Autopsy?" He was frightened.
