Jiang Nianjiao would naturally not object to Zhao Yanzhen's proposal.
The two of them strolled towards Xilai Street in the east of the city.
Although the name of Xilai Street sounds festive, however, because this is not a commercial street, but there is a Taoist temple nearby, so the walk along the way is quite deserted.
The red light reflects the moonlight in the sky, and even the bustling avenue is coated with a cold feeling.
But even so, there are still some sporadic lovers and couples walking towards the marriage tree on the street.
I guess they were also planning to hang the concentric knot.
When the two of them followed the crowd into a small garden open to the Taoist temple, they could see a low tree full of pink leaves in a large altar in the courtyard. And the branches are covered with concentric knots. The concentrically knotted tassels swayed with the breeze when the wind passed by, and they turned out to be really beautiful.
As you get closer, you can see that the tree is hollow for some reason, and there is a statue of Yue Lao under the hollow tree. People often offer sacrifices under the statue to pray for marriage.
When Jiang Nianjiao and Zhao Yanzhen arrived, several young couples were kneeling under the statue.
Fortunately, although orchids are planted around the marriage tree, there is more than one stone path in front of the altar, so the words "Concentric Knot" need to be hung. They can also pass through other trails.
The two of them chose a deserted path and walked there. Unexpectedly, as soon as they walked onto the path, they saw a young man standing in the orchid grass, looking up at a stone on the tree as if looking at a stone. Concentric knot.
Because the young master was really handsome, and he also showed a certain aura of nobility. Although he was not as handsome as Zhao Yanzhen, she couldn't help but take another look at the young master.
At the same time, she was only thinking secretly about whose family this infatuated young man belonged to.
Not wanting to be caught by Zhao Yanzhen just by looking at her, he softly called "Jiaojiao."
This sound brought Jiang Nianjiao back to her senses.
When he saw Jiang Nianjiao looking at him in confusion, Zhao Yanzhen just smiled and said, "Where do you think we can hang out?"
Jiang Nianjiao took a quick look and realized that the marriage tree was indeed densely packed with things like marriage knots and concentric knots.
She looked over and saw an empty space in the direction where the infatuated young man was standing.
So she pointed to the branch, "How about we go hang it there?"
Zhao Yanzhen glanced at the still motionless young master subtly, and suddenly smiled and said, "That's fine."
Then he took the initiative to lead Jiang Nianjiao into this shabby orchid flower bed that had been trampled on for a long time.
When he arrived at the young master, Zhao Yanzhen only said, "Can this young master give way? My wife and I want to tie the knot of unity here."...
I don't know if it was Jiang Nianjiao's misunderstanding, but she always felt that Zhao Yanzhen seemed to have deliberately added an accent when he mentioned the word "lady".
After hearing Zhao Yanzhen's words, the infatuated young man seemed to have come back to his senses. He glanced at Jiang Nianjiao and Zhao Yanzhen, and for some reason his expression seemed to be in a trance, as if he had seen the past from them.
But he didn't say anything, he just gave up his position with a wry smile.
But even so, he was still staring at the concentric knot, so Jiang Nianjiao and Zhao Yanzhen seemed to be watching him when they were hanging the concentric knot.
Zhao Yanzhen didn't care about this. He just put the concentric knot into Jiang Nianjiao's hand and said, "How about Jiaojiao hang the concentric knot on the tree for me."
Jiang Nianjiao silently glanced at the marriage tree, which, although low, was still two or three heads taller than herself, couldn't help but fall into silence.
There wasn't even a stool here, so she couldn't reach the branch even if she raised her toes.
Zhao Yanzhen asked himself to do the same thing. Wasn't he just trying to embarrass himself?
While Jiang Nianjiao was complaining in her heart, Zhao Yanzhen suddenly hugged Jiang Nianjiao.
Jiang Nianjiao panicked for a moment, then realized what she was doing.
With Zhao Yanzhen holding her, she finally reached for the branch.
Then she only carefully prepared to hang the knot between herself and Zhao Yanzhen next to the infatuated young man, but she saw a line of small words written on the knot next to it: Xu Zhilan, a letter girl.
Xu Zhilan is Miss Xu’s eldest daughter
Name, when did this young lady from the Xu family come here to hang this thing? Isn’t it true that although she longs for someone she likes, she still doesn’t have one?
Could it be that, as the old man said, his cousin and Miss Xu came together to hang a knot on the marriage tree in the east of the city.
But according to his cousin's temperament, which can only see Su Zhirou, it is extremely ridiculous to think that he would hang this thing with Miss Xu.
When Jiang Nianjiao felt strange, Zhao Yanzhen couldn't help but urge, "Jiaojiao, haven't you hung up yet?"
Jiang Nianjiao could only say, "It's already hung up."
After hearing her words, Zhao Yanzhen put Jiang Nianjiao down.
After being put down, Jiang Nianjiao couldn't help but subconsciously looked in the direction of the infatuated young man, only to see that the infatuated young man was no longer where he was.
A young couple behind him seemed a little envious when they saw Zhao Yanzhen holding Jiang Nianjiao to tie the knot. The woman behind just said coquettishly, "Ms. sir, I also want to tie our knot myself."
The man behind him and the woman were obviously at the time when the newlyweds were having sex. When the woman was acting coquettish, there was no way the man should not respond. He only said with great tenderness, "It's all my wife, but we should find someone who can do it now." That’s the place to hang the knot of hearts.”
After saying this, the young couple behind them just looked for a place to hang the knot of love.
Jiang Nianjiao's eyes were still looking around at this time. Zhao Yanzhen thought that Jiang Nianjiao seemed to be paying more attention to the infatuated young man from just now. At this time, he naturally thought that Jiang Nianjiao was still looking at the infatuated young man. He couldn't help but asked unhappily, " What is Jiaojiao looking at?"
Seeing that no one was paying attention to their side, Jiang Nianjiao could not help but lower her voice and said, "Can you help me remove the concentric knot that the young master was looking at just now?"
Hearing that it was indeed related to the young master, Zhao Yanzhen smiled and said, "Jiaojiao has been looking at him since just now. Don't I look good?"
When speaking, he only raised Jiang Nianjiao's chin and asked.
Only then did Jiang Nianjiao realize that she was jealous of her golden thighs. She chuckled, "Of course you look good, but I don't want that concentric knot just to keep it for myself. You'll know after you take it off and take a look."
Hearing this, Zhao Yanzhen took off the concentric knot with suspicion. There was also a line of clear small characters written on the concentric knot woven with red silk thread. One side said the letter girl Xu Zhilan, and the other side said the letter man Ye Jintian.
When he saw Xu Zhilan, he naturally understood.
When he saw Ye Jintian, a trace of cruelty flashed across his eyes.
Jiang Nianjiao failed to capture his fleeting emotion and only asked, "How is it? Is there anyone else's name written on the back of this concentric knot?"
When Zhao Yanzhen heard this, he naturally turned the other side to Jiang Nianjiao. Jiang Nianjiao naturally did not know Ye Jintian, but thinking of Ye Huaizhi, whom she had been in contact with recently, she couldn't help but muttered in a low voice, "There are quite a few people named Ye."
"There aren't many people with the surname Ye. It's because we were unlucky, or they were unlucky." Zhao Yanzhen said lightly.
After saying this, he just pulled Jiang Nianjiao and prepared to leave.
Unexpectedly, the system suddenly issued a danger warning at this time.
Even Jiang Nianjiao couldn't help but trembled from the warning. Zhao Yanzhen couldn't help but curiously asked, "What's wrong with Jiaojiao?"
Jiang Nianjiao immediately waved her hand and said, "Nothing, let's go."
There was silence on the road after that, and Jiang Nianjiao could hear the system frantically warning: "Host! The male protagonist Zhao Nianze is also in danger at this moment. Go and save him quickly! If something happens to him, the plot will be over and you will die too!"
When Jiang Nianjiao heard that Zhao Nianze was also in danger, Jiang Nianjiao couldn't help but have the urge to curse.
These two are really more cheating than the other. Even if you go on a date, you have to wipe their butts.
Did her cousin go out without thinking? When he goes out to look for someone, doesn't he know how to bring more guards?
Although Jiang Nianjiao was madly insulting her cousin in her heart, she also knew that she and them were connected by fate, and it was useless to say anything at this time.
Therefore, Jiang Nianjiao only calmed down and talked to the system, "You asked me to find my cousin. You have to provide me with a clue, right? I don't even know where he went now."
The system feels aggrieved
"How do I know? There was no such plot in the previous plot. You and the person next to you have messed up the plot now. I don't know how the plot is going to develop."
Hearing the system start to blame, Jiang Nianjiao said angrily, "You mean to blame me?"
The system didn't answer, but cried loudly in Jiang Nianjiao's mind. It was an unpleasant mechanical sound, but now it sounded like a broken gong. Jiang Nianjiao felt extremely irritated, and she silently yelled in her heart, "That's really it." What's the use of you? Stop crying. If you cry again, I won't go find anyone."
After being threatened like this by Jiang Nianjiao, the system really stopped crying, but because it suddenly stopped crying, the system's hiccups could only be heard from time to time in Jiang Nianjiao's mind.
Jiang Nianjiao could only listen to the system hiccupping and look at Zhao Yanzhen beside her.
She remembered that Zhao Nianze did not come out to drink with him later, and it was Zhao Yanzhen and his brother-in-law who found someone to drink in his place.
And since Zhao Yanzhen can get the note left by Miss Xu, I'm afraid Zhao Nianze has already had an affair with Zhao Yanzhen.
So thinking of this, Jiang Nianjiao just asked Zhao Yanzhen, "When my cousin left the palace today, did he take the initiative to tell you the matter?"
Seeing Jiang Nianjiao ask this, Zhao Yanzhen chuckled, "How is that possible? It's not like you don't know what my relationship is with him. If he knew that I knew this today, I'm afraid he wouldn't know how afraid he is of me."
"After he discovered that Su Zhirou was missing today, he went out to look for her alone. He had no time to arrange the rest of the matter. It was his housekeeper who was in a hurry to deal with the aftermath after he left."
