Concubine Sheng Chong

Chapter 19

Jiang Jinyan was a little dazed. In her previous life, she first met Xu Junyan in Anguo Gong's mansion two years later.

At that time, Xu Junya, the second young lady of the Xu family, was a talented and beautiful girl in Luoyang City's aristocratic circle, and she liked to hold all kinds of tea parties and flower parties.

That time when she and Jiang Jinqian went to Xu's house to appreciate chrysanthemums, a poodle accidentally snatched her lenght. She didn't say anything, and chased to the bamboo forest by the lake alone, but met Xu Junyan who was practicing sword.

He was dressed in an indigo blue plain silk robe, obviously very handsome and elegant, but because he was holding a sword, he looked a little fierce, but he didn't have the rigid lines like Fang Licheng's, and he was a little speechless in the bamboo forest. It was so elegant that he stopped his sword when he saw someone behind him.

When she saw the man holding the sword, she was so frightened that she couldn't speak for a moment, and pointed to the lemma in the dog's mouth.

Unexpectedly, when Xu Junyan saw her, he raised the corner of his mouth and threw the sword over. The lingpa was nailed to the ground by the sword, and the poodle was not afraid, and ran towards Xu Junyan wagging its head and tail.

But she was terribly frightened, she was crying but still stood stubbornly where she was, Xu Junyan panicked, put away the joke, and picked up the torn handkerchief from the ground.

Jiang Jinyan just gave him a hard look, and ran away without even taking the handkerchief. It was only later that he remembered how a woman could throw away her personal belongings at will, and regretted it for a long time.

Who knew that on the day when she and Ji Ji came with the gift, there was a box made of mahogany and pinched with gold thread, inside was an exquisite hairpin with emerald clouds inlaid with gold beads, and the torn veil was placed underneath.

But she has been jealous of Xu Junyan since then, and she didn't have a little friendship with him until Xu Junyan helped her many times, but since Zhou Chengrui appeared in her sight, she avoided Xu Junyan far away.

Jiang Jinyan put away his thoughts, "Please ask Third Young Master Xu to go to the library in the outer courtyard, I'll be there in a while."

Jiang Wei agreed and withdrew.

Jiang Jinyan said goodbye to his two cousins, and took Xueyan to the outer courtyard.

Fang Lijin glanced at Fang Licheng with great interest, "Clear water comes out of hibiscus..."

Fang Licheng didn't pay attention to him, he always said that he couldn't stand this younger brother, that he was a scholar who was useless, but he felt that scholars were sharp-tongued.

Fang Lijin shut his mouth and followed after seeing that he lost interest.

At this time, Xu Junyan was standing in front of the chair of the huanghuali grand master, looking at a pair of words in the flower hall of the library building.

The sound of the night moon and the music of the piano, the spring breeze, the singing of the birds and the fragrance of the flowers, but there is no elegance in his heart. He just finished the affairs of the Ministry of War, and his first thought was to come to the Jing'an Hou Mansion to see her.

When he learned about Jiang Jinyan's situation from Jiang Wei, and also heard that Jiang Wei had followed Jiang Jinyan's orders, he decided to come here.

After Jiang Jinyan told Xue Yan to guard the corridor, he turned around the Chaoshou verandah and vaguely saw a tall and straight figure in the flower hall wearing a moon-white robe with dark patterns and tufted flowers.

He couldn't even reach his shoulders, Jiang Jinyan's pace became slower and slower, and he didn't even dare to move forward.

Xu Junyan is a martial arts practitioner with excellent hearing. He turned around when he heard footsteps, and he saw Jiang Jinyan wrapped in filial piety.

Jiang Jinyan's whole body seemed to be painted in white, making her hair and eyes darker, and this vast expanse of white couldn't suppress her brilliance.

Jiang Jinyan remembered that this should be the first time he saw him, so he quickly lowered his head, stepped over the threshold and stood far away.

After saluting, she lowered her head and glanced at his clean, unstained robes, wondering what such a handsome and extraordinary person would look like on the battlefield.

A trace of disappointment flashed in Xu Junyan's eyes, did he no longer remember himself?

Jiang Jinyan made up his mind, and then said: "Master Xu San came to the Hou's Mansion today to express his condolences?" This was the best opening Jiang Jinyan could come up with.

Xu Junyan looked at her calmly alienated and guarded, his eyes darkened, and then disappeared in an instant. He nodded, "By the way, I want Miss Jiang to explain my doubts to me."

His voice was a little cold, which made Jiang Jinyan feel at ease. It was a strange feeling, as if he was familiar with the crispness and fallen leaves of autumn.

Jiang Jinyan didn't dare to raise her head. She always remembered the deepness of those eyes. When she went to propose marriage for Jiang Jinqian in her previous life, Xu Junyan also stood in front of her spotless. His eyes were so deep that she never dared to look at them again.

"Master Xu may be overthinking, I'm just speculating."

Xu Junyan raised the corner of his mouth, "Oh?" He said and took a step in her direction, Jiang Jinyan raised his head suddenly, like a frightened deer.

Xu Junyan paused, "It seems that Miss Jiang is not interested in the identities of those bandits. It seems that I have come here for nothing."

Jiang Jinyan fully heard the banter in his tone, yes, it was banter, not suspicion, where did he come from.

Jiang Jinyan stirred the handkerchief in his hand, he really wanted to know if he had any evidence in his hand, but he also felt that he didn't know how to respond to his jokes, and she felt guilty for him all her life.

Jiang Jinyan took a step back calmly before opening his mouth.
