The marriage between Jiang Nianjiao and Chen Jinghuai was quickly withdrawn at the end of June.
Soon after, Chen Jing, who had stayed in the capital for a long time, returned to Yunzhou again.
As soon as the dust settled on the marriage, the rumors about her and Zhao Yanzhen gradually faded away.
The topic of conversation after dinner had already changed to the news that Guanyuan Town had been invaded by a Qiang desert force, and that Tingwei Gao Yizhong had returned from Yunzhou.
Gao Yizhong came back safely, and the Gao family and his aunt were naturally happy and reassured.
But when some people are happy, some are sad.
With Gao Yizhong's safe return to Beijing, the facts of the grain embezzlement case gradually became clear.
And every piece of that case points directly to a group of officials who have been wooed by the Chen family to enrich their own pockets.
This happened to Jiang Nianjiao in her previous life, so she was not surprised by this case.
And she remembered that because the old man of the Chen family was still alive, it was also to prepare a bigger counterattack for the next storm of the Chen family.
Emperor Yong only suppressed the matter when all his officials tried to trace the matter. Only a series of officers directly involved in the embezzlement of grain and grass were dealt with.
In addition to greatly weakening the Chen family's strength, this also created greater trouble for the Chen family when it was liquidated.
Only this time, except for the case of the Chen family embezzling grain and grass.
The attack on Gao Yizhong at the border also involved another shocking story.
That is, there are women from the Qiang Desert in the imperial court of Yongdi. And the wife-in-law plans to cooperate with the Qiangmo people inside and outside.
Therefore, although the case of embezzling grain and grass has a major impact, compared with the case of smuggling with the enemy, the case of grain and grass seems to be a trivial matter.
In addition, the Chen family now only focuses on the imperial court, so the Chen family can only divert trouble to the east and demand a thorough investigation of who is colluding with the Qiangmo people.
This case has never happened before, considering that the uncle was rescued by Chen Jinghuai, and Chen Jinghuai cooperated with Zhao Yanzhen in his previous life. Jiang Nianjiao naturally suspected that today's situation was probably related to Zhao Yanzhen.
However, she was not a member of the imperial court, and she did not know much about the specific situation in the imperial court.
In addition, during this period of time, while she was taking care of the affairs of the Jiang family, she also had to worry about Tsodrup's condition and deal with the partners her aunt would choose for her from time to time.
Therefore, she is very busy every day and has little time to chat with others about the general trend of the game.
Moreover, not only the Jiang family's own dowry, but also most of the Jiang family's property, under the control of Yu Se, is in collusion with those black-robed Qiangmo people.
Therefore, Jiang Nianjiao felt dizzy every day. The only good news about this period of time was that Cuozhu's condition was cured by Uncle Cuiqiao, and her disease was not contagious.
However, Cuozhu was not destined to be someone to be trifled with. After she recovered from her illness and saw Jiang Nianjiao, the first thing she did was accuse Jiang Nianjiao of being dishonest and reneging on his word. She obviously promised to find Brother Nada for her, but she ran away first.
Jiang Nianjiao has always suspected that the brother Nada mentioned by Cuozhu is probably the same person as the prince Nada who sticks to his friend Chen Changnian all day long.
And seeing that Chen Hongnian was getting closer and closer to Nanada, Jiang Nianjiao was also worried that Chen Hongnian had met some scumbag, so she did her best to agree to Cuozhu's request.
She was only guaranteed to see her brother Nada, but how? That is not something Tsodrup can know.
Early July is Chen Changnian's birthday, but compared to his little niece, Chen Changnian's birthday is much shabbier.
It even seemed that because of a dispute with her two sisters-in-law, she decided to celebrate her birthday this year at a tavern in Kangpingfang.
Naturally, Jiang Nianjiao had a deep memory of that tavern. After all, when Chen Hongnian fought for his master Mo Xia, he also offended the local tyrant. Later, she also heard Chen Changnian mention that time that she almost couldn't escape.
Although Jiang Nianjiao's last marriage to Chen Jinghuai fell through, it did not affect their relationship.
Therefore, Jiang Nianjiao is also on the list of invitees.
Jiang Nianjiao saw that Jiang Zhi seemed to be depressed because of her mother's affairs during this period, and her own rumors had affected her marriage, so she also decided to take Jiang Zhi out to relax.
When we arrived at a tavern in Kangpingfang,
The completely smashed tavern in Chuna seemed to have been renovated, and it was even bigger than before.
The boss is still the same boss as before, and the style is still the same as before. The lobby is bustling with people, the seats are full of guests, and the Qiang desert dancers are dancing exotic dances on the small stage in front.
Even the waiters who solicit customers in the shop are Qiangmo beauties. As soon as a Qiangmo beauty saw two ladies with rich clothes coming to the inn, she immediately rushed to greet them. Come to dine?”
Jiang Nianjiao directly handed the invitation letter from Chen Changnian to the Qiangmo beauty, and the beauty immediately led the two of them through the lobby to the second floor.
It was obviously the first time for Jiang Zhi to come to this kind of place. When she walked through the lobby, she only looked hesitant and timid.
In addition, most of the people here are men, so even if there are female guests, they are dressed like men.
It is very rare for Jiang Nianjiao and Jiang Zhi to look like boudoir girls.
Although they had covered their faces with curtains, it was obvious from their figures that they were both beauties, so some people's eyes would be bold enough to fall on them.
Jiang Nianjiao was used to this scene and didn't take it seriously.
Only Jiang Zhi seemed a little scared.
She hid behind Jiang Nianjiao and whispered, "Sister, I'm a little scared, why don't we go back?"
"Whatever you're afraid of, it's here. Besides, there's someone protecting you, so it'll be fine."
Jiang Nianjiao comforted Jiang Zhi while leading her to the second floor.
When they arrived on the second floor, the Qiangmo beauty only took them to the east wing where they had booked last time.
Pushing open the door to the east wing, Jiang Nianjiao thought that the only other guest this time would be Mo Xia.
I didn't want to push the door open, but I saw that besides Mo Xia, there were several more male guests inside. Among them, in addition to Nada, whom Jiang Nianjiao had met last time, there was also a strange man.
The man was dressed in black attire, with long hair tied high on his head, sharp eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and a heroic appearance. However, although this man is handsome, he is the kind of irritable person who is not easy to mess with at first sight.
His brows were cold, like a sharp blade that had just been sharpened, and it felt like it was about to cut someone at any time.
Jiang Zhi didn't know whether she was frightened by the man or saw a male guest in the room, so she hesitated for a moment.
Chen Yannian obviously didn't understand Jiang Zhi's concerns, after all, she was used to being casual. It was not a boudoir girl's pretense, so when she saw the two of them arriving, although she had little interaction with Jiang Zhi, she still greeted her very enthusiastically, "You are here, come and sit down quickly! Let's open the table soon." Now, I’ll just wait for you.”
Jiang Nianjiao was not one to be coy. When she saw this, she just took off her curtain hat and handed it to the maid aside, and then prepared to go and sit down.
But Jiang Zhi timidly pulled Jiang Nianjiao's sleeve and said, "Sister, how about we go back?"
Although her voice was very small, everyone in the room obviously still heard it.
Fortunately, Chen Changnian still gave him face and joked, "Xiao Jiangzhi, you're here now and you still want to leave. Are you afraid that I'll eat you?"
While she was talking, she got up and pushed Jiang Zhi into the room.
Jiang Zhi couldn't say anything more.
The people in the house are also taking care of Jiang Zhi. Mo Xia even asked Jiang Zhi to sit next to her.
Later, Jiang Nianjiao sat down next to Jiang Zhi after Jiang Zhi took her seat.
With her sister by her side, and the woman next to her seemed very kind, Jiang Zhi took off her hat and handed it to the maid next to her.
After they were about to take their seats, Mo Xia suddenly looked at Jiang Zhi and asked Jiang Nianjiao, "Miss Jiang, I wonder who this is?"
Jiang Nianjiao quickly took the initiative to introduce, "This is my roommate Jiang Zhi."
Mo Xia smiled and nodded, then said, "The two of you look different."
Jiang Nianjiao explained, "Azhi and I were not born from the same mother."
Mo Xia stopped asking any more questions.
Seeing that Mo Xia asked Jiang Zhi, Jiang Nianjiao naturally asked the name of the cool guy opposite Chen Changnian.
When Chen Yannian saw Jiang Nianjiao asking about that person, she didn't know what her thoughts were. She just laughed and said, "You don't even know him? Last time we drank in this tavern, I was almost beaten to death by the iron flame mad lion. good
He helped me block the opponent's attack! "
Jiang Nianjiao was very drunk in the pub that day, how could she know this.
Seeing Jiang Nianjiao's confused look, Chen Changnian finally remembered that when they were making trouble, Jiang Nianjiao didn't come out at all.
Therefore, she stopped mentioning the events of that day and simply said briefly, "This is my little daughter-in-law, Yan Ziqing."
However, Chen Changnian's explanation made Jiang Nianjiao even more confused. "What kind of wife? Are you engaged? Why didn't you tell me what happened?"
However, although Jiang Nianjiao was blaming her, she heard that Chen Changnian had a little wife, even though this cool guy was not the type to offend at first glance.
But rather than having any disputes with Nada, she was still more happy to see Chen Changnian and Yan Ziqing together.
Brother Ku's face suddenly turned black. "Who is her wife? We have nothing to do with it."
When Chen Yannian heard this, he laughed even more wildly, which made Jiang Nianjiao even more confused.
"Why aren't you my little wife? When we played against each other in Guanyuan Town, when were you not my loser? The loser is a prisoner. I just let you be my little wife. , and I gave you all my trophies for safekeeping, what? Have I still wronged you? "
Listening to their bickering, Jiang Nianjiao probably guessed that the two of them were childhood sweethearts.
However, Chen Hongnian's little bamboo horse was obviously a little awkward. He just snorted, "I let you go on purpose, otherwise you would still be crying every day with your three-legged cat skills."
It's a pity that Chen Hongnian was obviously not stimulated at all by Yan Ziqing's words. On the contrary, she happily distorted the meaning of Yan Ziqing's words: "So you lost to me on purpose just to be my little wife?"
