Jiang Nianjiao's shyness seemed to be contagious, which made Chen Jinghuai a little at a loss. If it weren't for the bronze complexion, Jiang Nianjiao would have noticed that the other party was also blushing.
And their performance was even more dramatic in Chen Changnian's eyes.
"How is it? Is my third brother not bad? Do you want to get to know each other now?" Chen Changnian lowered his voice and asked softly in Jiang Nianjiao's ear.
Jiang Nianjiao secretly thought about coloring words with a knife on her head.
He nodded silently.
And after nodding, she quickly found a reason for herself: according to the clues given by the tracking mirror, the person in front of her was probably related to the disappearance of her uncle. She approached him to find her uncle.
With the reason, she felt much calmer, and she even took the initiative to invite Chen Jinghuai, "Colonel Chen, would you like to come with me?"
While curling her long hair on her chest, she pretended to be bold and inviting, which undoubtedly hit the heart of the young man in front of her.
He opened his mouth, but couldn't say no.
But now he has to go see his aunt.
Just as he was about to speak, Chen Changnian quickly interrupted and said, "Third brother, just go with Miss Jiaojiao. My aunt is going to introduce you to her anyway."
As she spoke, she pushed her third brother in front of Jiang Nianjiao.
The reason why Chen Hongnian did this was really out of helplessness.
She knew her third brother's incomprehensible and charming side all too well.
After all, with their family background and her third brother's amazing beauty, if his third brother hadn't been too ignorant of style, he wouldn't have been reduced to the point where he didn't even book a wife in his weak years.
However, Chen Changnian obviously underestimated her brother's ability to be single based on his strength.
"There are many people in the palace who are confused. There is a difference between the sexes of the girl and me. If anyone sees and spreads any gossip, I am afraid it will damage the girl's reputation."
Fortunately, the girl who can play with Chen Changnian, a little devil in the world, is not an ordinary girl.
The girl next to her mustered up the courage to accept what the other person said, and probably gave up.
Jiang Nianjiao showed no shame at all. Instead, she smiled softly and praised Chen Jinghuai, "The captain is indeed a gentleman and thoughtful."
"Although I don't mind being gossiped about, but since the captain cares about this matter, let's find a place to hide from others."
Then her eyes wandered around, only to return to the original place and said, "I think this place is very hidden. How about we talk here?"
The girl in front of her clearly looked petite, delicate and weak. However, the words he said were quite forceful.
Are all the girls in the capital so bold?
He frowned and was about to speak.
Chen Yannian immediately interrupted Chen Jinghuai's words and just took it upon himself to accept the decision for him, "This place is indeed hidden enough."
Then Chen Yannian winked at him and hinted, and finally said openly, "You can just chat here without worries, I will keep an eye on you. I guarantee that not even a trace of what happened today will leak out."
After saying that, Chen Changnian jumped out of the flower forest without waiting for Chen Jinghuai's reaction.
It was hard for Chen Jinghuai to refuse at this time.
The peach blossoms are scorching in front of you, and the beauties are standing in the forest. It is clearly a beautiful scene on a good day.
Chen Jinghuai felt like he wanted to run away from the battlefield.
Jiang Nianjiao couldn't get straight to the point when she opened her mouth, so she could only say something else first. "I also heard that Yan Nian often mentioned Chen Xiaowei. She said that the Xiaowei was brave and good at fighting and used soldiers like a god. She also said that the Xiaowei was guarding Qiang. If there is no desert, those Qiang people will not dare to invade."
"Jiaojiao has admired heroes since she was a child, and she didn't expect to be lucky enough to meet a hero today. Jiaojiao is really happy in her heart, so she proposed to have a private meeting with Colonel Chen, and I hope the principal will not care about Jiaojiao's abruptness."
Naturally, eight out of ten sentences in Jiang Nianjiao's words were polite lies.
After all, Chen Changnian knew that she liked Zhao Yanzhen, so why would he mention his third brother, who was not good at words, in front of her.
It's just that Chen Jinghuai is a serious person, and he only takes Chen Changnian's words seriously, which makes him feel even more uncomfortable. "Jinghuai is not a hero. It is only my duty to garrison the Qiang Desert. A girl does not have to be a hero. If the girl does not give up, the girl You can also call me Jinghuai."
After the words fell, Jiang Nianjiao softly added, "Brother Jinghuai."
The girl's voice was like sugar dipped in honey. The soft tone and the tone of her voice that showed her affection were just as if a feather had fluttered across people's hearts.
Chen Jinghuai rarely got so close to the girls, so he seemed to be caught off guard and unable to resist.
Jiang Nianjiao could clearly see the blush on the bronze complexion of the handsome young man in front of her, but she still smiled and asked, "But does my title scare brother Jinghuai?"
Then she explained in a distressed low voice, "I saw Ah Qian calling you Third Brother, and I am one year younger than Ah Qian, so I thought of calling you Brother Jinghuai. Of course, if Brother Jinghuai minds, I I won’t call you that way anymore.”
Chen Jinghuai simply couldn't resist Jiang Nianjiao's attack.
Naturally, he would not choose to embarrass Jiang Nianjiao at this time. He seriously denied it and said, "I don't mind the girl's name. It's just that I've never been called brother by a girl other than A-Qian, so I'm not used to it."
Jiang Nianjiao had a smile on her face, but she was thinking in her heart that she was so shy just calling her brother, and she didn't know how she would behave if she called her brother by more intimate names in the future.
For some reason, Jiang Nianjiao had an almost evil expectation about this.
However, although she wanted to see the other person's reaction, she was also afraid that she would be too hasty and scare the other person. Jiang Nianjiao changed the subject, "Now that I call you brother Jinghuai, you can't call me girl anymore. I have a name. My close friends call me Gillian, and my brothers call me Jiaojiao.”
"Brother Jinghuai can call me by any name." Jiang Nianjiao said.
When she said this, Chen Jinghuai's face felt a little hot again.
Regardless of whether he is called Gillian or Jiaojiao, this title is a bit too intimate for a woman who is not related to him by blood.
But in the girl's expectant eyes, as clear as a deer in the forest, he finally chose a title that he thought was less ambiguous, "I'd better call Miss Jiang Gillian."
"Okay." Jiang Nianjiao responded briskly.
After narrowing the distance between them, Jiang Nianjiao no longer teased each other, but really turned the topic to the information she wanted to get. "I heard Aqian say that the place where brother Jinghuai is guarding is in Guanyuan Town, Yunzhou." ?”
This was not a confidential matter, so Chen Jinghuai nodded without much hesitation.
Jiang Nianjiao then asked, "Brother Jinghuai, can you tell me about Guanyuan Town?"
Chen Jinghuai felt strange that Jiang Nianjiao would be interested in such a barren land, but he still cooperated and asked, "What do you want to hear, girl?"
Jiang Nianjiao whispered, "Brother Jinghuai can just talk about the customs and customs of Guanyuan Town. For example, is Guanyuan Town particularly chaotic? Has anything worth mentioning happened recently?"
Hearing this, Chen Jinghuai finally said cautiously, "Why are you asking about this?"
Jiang Nianjiao was shocked when the other party warned her.
She suddenly remembered that her uncle's previous life's investigation into the embezzlement of military grain and grass seemed to have a lot to do with the Chen family.
Although Emperor Yong did not severely punish the Chen family's eldest brother at that time, he held the matter high and put it down gently.
But this incident caused dissatisfaction among the officials. When the Chen family was later liquidated, the backlash of the suppression that day became the heaviest straw in the Chen family's downfall.
And when she was in Jinghu Lake, she only saw her uncle's injury being treated by the young man in front of her, and she also remembered that the second wife of the Chen family was a decent person.
But they forgot that at this time, the eldest brother and the second brother of the Chen family had not yet completely broken up. No matter how upright the second brother of the Chen family was, if he knew about what his uncle was investigating, it would endanger the Chen family. So even if it would be good for them to find out this matter, the second roommate of the Chen family might not be able to hand over his uncle.
And no matter how upright Chen Jinghuai's style was, didn't he still help the third prince to enter the capital and seize the throne in the end?
The more Jiang Nianjiao thought about it, the more frightened she became. For the moment, she couldn't figure out where her uncle was.
After all, right now, there are conflicts and differences between the two families.
"I have never been to the border. I only thought that the land at the border was a barren land. I thought that the men who came there would be as desolate as that place. But today I met Brother Jinghuai and saw that Brother Jinghuai is so handsome and handsome. My heart I can't help but be curious about the place where brother Jinghuai lives." Jiang Nianjiao quickly hid her words and changed into a completely harmless little daughter's demeanor.
Chen Jinghuai lowered his eyes and looked at the petite girl in front of him, feeling a strange feeling in his heart.
Is she trying to show her favor?
Although it was his first time to meet Jiang Nianjiao, he was no stranger to Jiang Nianjiao. After all, his younger sister often mentioned that he had such a good friend in the capital in his letters.
There was a lot in the letter, and he secretly sketched her appearance when he was bored.
But when he saw her today, her smile seemed more alluring than he imagined.
Therefore, although his intuition was keenly aware that the little girl in front of him seemed to have other motives for approaching him, he still could not bear to embarrass her. "The border is not as good as the capital. It is very desolate, with scarce water sources and long yellow sand. In addition, there are Qiang desert people coming all year round." There were criminals and horse thieves ambushed them, making life very difficult for the local people.”
This kind of miserable situation is indeed something Jiang Nianjiao may not have experienced when he was at his lowest. In addition, Chen Jinghuai was obviously wary of him just now. Asking him deeply about Guanyuan Town at this time will inevitably make him suspicious.
If this irritated him, Jiang Nianjiao was really afraid that her uncle's life would be lost.
Therefore, Jiang Nianjiao stopped talking about this matter. Instead, he just kept the topic on the surface and said with a distressed look, "So, brother Jinghuai must have been working very hard in that bitter cold place."
Chen Jinghuai just shook his head, "It doesn't matter if you get used to it. Besides, it is my wish to protect the people. There are only a few people in this world who can get their wish. I am really lucky."
His tone was very normal but extremely sincere. One can't help but admire the person in front of him.
It seems that no matter how things change, the character of the second wife of the Chen family is still worth winning over.
But how to win over this person and how to keep his uncle still requires long-term planning.
