As soon as Qu Shunhua got into the carriage, he saw Zuo Guangshu with beautiful features. The gentle and smiling man next to him also came into view.
Dressed in a green shirt, sitting next to the young master of Dachu, he is not less elegant at all.
Qu Shunhua did a lot of things like getting into carriages and climbing through windows.
Not only herself, but also Zuo Guangshu is very used to it.
But it would be a little embarrassing if outsiders bumped into me.
After all, she is our daughter. Here's a lady from a famous family!
The Qu family has been a member of a thousand-year-old family, and she, Qu Shunhua, is a genius of the generation... How can this word be "shameful"?
At this moment.
Zuo Guangshu leaned against the back wall of the carriage, Jiang Wang leaned against the window, and Qu Shunhua half-bowed at the door, holding the curtain with one hand, the smile on his face frozen.
None of the three spoke.
Qu Shunhua remained silent because of embarrassment.
Zuo Guangshu was silent because while he was embarrassed, he had not thought about how to introduce Qu Shunhua to Jiang Wang. friend? Sister Qu?
Jiang Wang was silent because he didn't know what she wanted to do when she got into the carriage. He didn't know how she and Zuo Guangshu got along with each other... maybe they just gave her a high five and left?
The carriage fell into an eerie silence.
"Here he comes!" Jiang Wang spoke first.
He was not a good dancer, but now he was in front of his little brother. In such an embarrassing moment, he, as the elder brother, had to hold up the situation, so he reluctantly spoke out bravely...
Although this opening statement was a bit confusing, it finally broke the awkward silence.
Qu Shunhua reluctantly said: "Here we come."
"Qu Shunhua, right?" Jiang Wang asked.
"You know me?" Qu Shunhua raised his eyebrows.
It's not hard to guess.
So far, the only girl Zuo Guangshu has mentioned to him is Qu Shunhua.
Thinking about Xiao Guangshu's proud and shy temperament, he doesn't have many good friends. And to be able to break into the young father-in-law's carriage directly on the street, regardless of his feelings or status, it is extraordinary to think about it.
Except for Qu Shunhua, don't think about anyone else.
Jiang Wang smiled affectionately: "Xiao Guangshu always talks about you to me!"
These words seemed to break the distance and lighten the atmosphere in the car.
A smile broke out on Qu Shunhua's face. He sat down opposite Jiang Wang and said with a very dignified smile: "How did he mention it?"
Once the awkward atmosphere was gone, she sat down like this. This oval-faced beauty immediately showed her dignified and noble side.
No stage fright, generous and decent.
"What are you talking about!" Zuo Guangshu said in a panic.
Qu Shunhua turned around and said, "Don't speak yet!"
But then he remembered Jiang Wang's presence and smiled softly: "Let me talk to...Brother Jiang first."
She had also gone to watch the battle at Guanhe Terrace, so she naturally recognized the leader of the Yellow River. Not to mention that Zuo Guangshu always told her how Jiang Wang was doing...
After thinking about it for a moment, he realized that Jiang Wang was invited by Zuo Guangshu to help him in the Mountain and Sea Realm. Having seen Jiang Wang fight with her own eyes, she was naturally happy to see this happen.
But what she was most concerned about at this moment was how Xiao Guangshu was talking about her behind her back——
Of course, mentioning her often is a good thing, but there is still room for discussion as to how she should be mentioned.
"It's been mentioned so many times that I don't even know where to start." Jiang Wang said without blushing, his heart not beating: "One moment, it's beautiful and generous, another moment, it's about extraordinary talent, sometimes it's hard to find in the world, and sometimes it's lucky. ...My ears are almost numb!"
Qu Shunhua glanced at Zuo Guangshu shyly: "Why are you so unmodest when talking to Brother Jiang? You're so annoying!"
Zuo Guangshujun's face turned red and he wanted to deny it, but he still had reason after all... Denying it now seemed a bit like seeking death.
"I also thought before that this child's words were so exaggerated that he didn't seem to be telling the truth at all. How could there be such a person in the world?" Jiang Wang said in a sincere tone: "I didn't know until I saw you, Miss Qu, today. He’s already so humble!”
"Hey, this..." Qu Shunhua, who was so majestic in front of Zuo Guangshu, lowered his head shyly: "Brother Jiang, you make me feel embarrassed."
"I have a problem, that is, I can't hold back my inner thoughts." Jiang Wang gave Zuo Guangshu a look that said, "Brother, are you good to me?" and then said with a smile, "Okay, I'll go down and take a look around first. Enjoy the night view of Yingcheng. Give you two some space and have a good chat!"
"Hey, Brother Jiang, don't leave." Qu Shunhua said quickly: "I have nothing to do with Guangshu. I should leave after seeing you!"
"Besides..." She said with some embarrassment: "We are not married yet, so we are not a young couple. We have just been engaged since we were young..."
Zuo Guangshu's face was so red that he looked like he was about to bleed.
"We have been engaged since we were young, and we are in love with each other, and they are so well matched." Jiang Wang smiled and said, "Isn't that just a matter of time?"
Qu Shunhua's smile became brighter: "Brother Jiang, you are Guangshu's eldest brother, and that is my eldest brother. If you have anything to do in Yingcheng, just come to me!"
He looked back at Zuo Guangshu and said, "You guys have a rest today and let Brother Jiang meet his family. Find a time tomorrow and bring Brother Jiang to Huangliang Terrace, and I will arrange the reception banquet..."
Pushed him again: "Did you hear that?"
Only then did Zuo Guangshu say "Oh".
Qu Shunhua greeted Jiang Wang again: "Brother Jiang, come for a drink tomorrow! I'll leave now!"
Then he opened the curtain openly and left.
It really comes like thunder and goes like lightning.
Different from the noble ladies from aristocratic families that Jiang Wang met in Linzi, who were generally dignified and graceful, she had a romantic and unrestrained style of the children of Chu.
The window was still open. Jiang Wang looked out and saw that Qu Shunhua's carriage was parked next to it. It was as luxurious as Zuo Guangshu's. She lowered herself and sat in.
"Ah, what a good girl!"
Jiang Wang admired, looked at the carriage that was driving away, and then at Zuo Guangshu.
He looked at Zuo Guangshu and then at the carriage carrying Qu Shunhua away.
Zuo Guangshu's face turned red and he said angrily: "What are you looking at!"
Jiang Wang laughed, but said nothing more.
The little guy is thin-skinned, and if he continues to tease him, he might get angry.
…
…
The Huaiguo Duke's Mansion occupies a very large area. In Ying City, where every inch of land is at a premium, just this area can fully imagine the power of the owner of the mansion.
A pair of red jade lions stand in front of the door, majestic and beyond words.
Especially the lion's eyes are full of light, like a living creature.
When the young master of the Zuo family returned to the mansion, the Duke of Huai's mansion opened the door directly, and the guards lined up to greet him.
Jiang Wangcai got off the carriage and saw a beautiful middle-aged woman standing there.
He was dressed plainly, his manners were dignified, and there was nobility hidden in his brows, but he was not overbearing. It gives people a very friendly and gentle feeling.
Zuo Guangshu got off the carriage first and said very obediently: "Mom, this is Brother Jiang Wang and Jiang Xian who I invited to help with my boxing, the current leader of the Yellow River!"
Xiong Jingyu turned his gaze.
Jiang Wang stepped forward and saluted: "Jiang Wang, my junior, has met Her Royal Highness the Princess of Chu!"
He had done his homework in advance and knew that Zuo Guangshu's mother was the biological sister of the current Emperor of Chu, titled Princess Yuyun. You can't go wrong by calling it that.
Looking at the young man with tall body and extraordinary temperament in front of him, Xiong Jingyu's eyes were in a trance for a moment.
Her eldest son also served as the leader of the Yellow River...
But this trance quickly subsided.
Xiong Jingyu said softly: "You and Guangshu are friends, just call me aunt. Thank you for your hard work. You took good care of my family Guangshu in the Taixu Illusion Realm, and now you come all the way to help him."
"Where." Jiang Wangqian said: "In the Taixu Illusion Realm, Guangshu and I help each other and grow together. Furthermore, I myself also yearn for the Mountain and Sea Realm very much. Receiving the invitation is exactly what I want!"
"How are you adapting to the Purgatory of Mountains and Seas?" Xiong Jingyu asked again.
Jiang Wang glanced at Zuo Guangshu and smiled confidently: "Not bad."
Zuo Guangshu seemed to be dissatisfied with her mother's question and shouted from the side: "Can the helper I chose be any worse?"
However, Xiong Jingyu ignored him and only said to Jiang Wang: "That place is too miserable, and I'm really sorry for causing you to suffer along with it. Just rest well in the house these few days and recuperate your energy."
"Guangshu is practicing with me. It's not hard, aunt." Jiang Wang followed the good advice.
Xiong Jingyu said: "Did Guangshu tell you that his grandfather wanted to see you?"
"As I said." Jiang Wang said, "My husband is a hero of our time. I have admired him for a long time!"
Xiong Jingyu smiled slightly and felt a little more favorable towards this young man who was neither humble nor overbearing: "Grandpa Guangshu is waiting for you in the study. I will lead you there right now."
She patted Zuo Guangshu's forehead: "You can wait for a while."
"Why haven't you asked me to be present?" Zuo Guangshu immediately expressed his dissatisfaction: "Is there anything else about the Zuo family that I can't hear?"
"Your grandpa specially wants to talk to someone, does it look like you?" Xiong Jingyu turned him around: "Go, don't get in the way!"
Zuo Guangshu understood that his mother's attitude was irreversible, but he still shouted: "You can go and talk, but please tell my grandfather not to bully others!"
Xiong Jingyu couldn't help but glare at him: "How old is your grandpa? Do you think he is the same as you kids?"
Although Zuo Guangshu was joking.
Jiang Wang, however, felt guilty for some reason.
Children only think about who they want to bully, adults are murderers and hustlers...
If Duke Huai was really dissatisfied in person, how could his small body be able to bear it?
But after all, I can only follow Xiong Jingyu.
He was half a step behind, walking in the deep courtyard of Duke Huai's mansion.
Jiang Wang slowly calmed down his slightly anxious mood.
He could probably guess why Duke Huai wanted to see him.
The "Detailed Explanation of Fireworks Burning the City" sent by Zuo Guangshu has explained a lot.
Just as Master Ku Jue was able to find him through some kind of connection, it would not be difficult for a big man like Huai Guogong to capture the fate between him and Zuo Guanglie.
Zuo Xiao, Duke of the Huai Kingdom of Chu, had a very arrogant name. It is said that when he was young, he was also a fierce god. Later, when he reached a high position, he gradually began to cultivate his moral character.
Of course, he was famous for a long time. Nowadays, outside of Chu State, the bad reputation of human demons may not have spread widely.
But people who really know him will naturally not have such boring comparison thoughts.
Jiang Wang thought about Duke Huai's behavior in his mind, and weighed his attitude when he would speak.
Then suddenly I heard a sentence coming from the front——
"When he left... was it painful?"
The sound was too soft, as if it didn't sound at all.
But it really appeared in Jiang Wang's ears.
Jiang Wang didn't dare to look at her expression walking next to her, but he could feel the pain of this question.
Princess Yuyun of the Great Chu did not say her name, but Jiang Wang certainly knew...who that "he" was.
Not so painful...probably a mother's last comfort.
After thinking for a while, Jiang Wang said: "It's like a sun going out. He left very neatly and brilliantly."
"Like a sun..." Xiong Jingyu murmured.
She imagined such a gorgeous scene, and finally felt...that was the ending Guanglie would choose.
Then she stopped: "That's the study in front, Guangshu's grandfather is in it."
"Okay. Auntie Lao is here to see you off." Jiang Wang saluted her and walked forward alone.
This outstanding young figure in a green shirt is deeply imprinted in a mother's eyes.
The same leader of the Yellow River, the same peerless genius, the same young and promising...
But he's not him.
Probably because of the Qingyun Immortal Technique, Jiang Wang had a sense of immortality when he walked around.
But Zuo Guanglie was brilliant and dazzling.
Xiong Jingyu closed her eyes gently, and vaguely saw the back of the young man in the gorgeous flame robe, but after all, that back would never look back.
…
…
The door to the study room was open, and there was no one waiting on him.
Jiang Wang walked in cautiously and saw a thin old man sitting behind the desk, writing something quickly.
While writing, he said without raising his head: "Sit down."
Jiang Wang looked at it briefly and then sat on the big chair against the wall. There is a picture of hundreds of birds facing the phoenix hanging on the back. To the right is a tea stool, and beyond the tea stool is another chair.
The layout of the entire study can be called "simple", with no unnecessary decoration.
Duke Huai didn't mean to test Jiang Wang's temperament on purpose. He quickly put down the brush in his hand, pulled the file he had just finished writing to the upper right corner of the desk, and then raised his eyes to look over.
After all, a person's name is like a tree's shadow.
Jiang Wang shuddered subconsciously and moved his butt half unconsciously.
"Jiang Wang, leader of the Yellow River, I have wanted to see you for a long time." Duke Huai used these words as his opening remarks.
Jiang Wang turned around and looked over, and this time he could clearly see the face of Duke Huai of Chu——
Smooth and elegant, with a few fine lines imparted by time.
Although his appearance does not look too old, people can feel that he is an elder.
And his majesty is not obvious.
"It is an honor for this junior to be remembered by the Duke of our country." Jiang Wang said politely.
His respect for Zuo Xiao was not only because of his status as Duke Huai of Chu, but also because he was the grandfather of Zuo Guanglie and Zuo Guangshu.
Treat your friends' elders as elders.
Duke Huai looked at him quietly for a while, and then said: "Actually, I have some questions that I wanted to ask you, but later I felt that it was unnecessary to ask. No one is immune to regrets in life. I am no exception."
He sighed softly: "Child, I just want to see you now."
