Chang'an City, Jiang Mansion.
Jiang Changming knelt in the ancestral hall with a face filled with regret. Mrs. Jiang sat beside her with a serious look on her face, as if she was very dissatisfied with this grandson whom she had always loved. I don’t know how long I had been kneeling, but Old Mrs. Jiang suddenly spoke——
"Do you know you were wrong!?"
"My grandson knows he was wrong."
"Where did you go wrong!?"
"My grandson should not be trapped in a dream and lose to Ji Yanghe!"
"waste!"
Old Mrs. Jiang was suddenly furious. He changed from his usual easy-going and kind attitude. Looking at this grandson who had made him very proud, his eyes were full of anger.
At this moment, Yaya suddenly appeared in the ancestral hall, looked at Jiang Changming who was kneeling on the ground and said, "Brother, please get up, stop kneeling!"
"Good boy Ya Ya, you go out first, brother should be punished..."
"Grandpa, don't punish my brother anymore, please -"
"snort--"
"grandfather--!"
Jiang Yaya felt sorry for her brother. At this moment, she knelt down to Mrs. Jiang, which made Jiang Changming feel very distressed for a moment.
"Get up, Fangya."
"If my brother doesn't get up, I won't get up either!"
Old Mrs. Jiang seemed to feel sorry for her granddaughter. He stood up from his seat with the help of crutches, walked slowly to Yaya, and helped her up with compassion. Then, he said to Jiang Changming: "Get up too."
Jiang Changming did not dare to disobey his grandfather's wishes and stood up obediently. Jiang Changming hurriedly stepped forward to help the old man, but Jiang Taigong pushed him away. Jiang Changming stood there awkwardly, as if he had been abandoned by the whole world.
Old Mrs. Jiang walked slowly towards the gate of the ancestral hall with the support of Ya Ya.
At this moment, the old lady's steps were extremely slow and staggering, as if he was much older at this moment.
Jiang Changming looked at his grandfather's leaving figure, feeling ashamed in his heart. He watched his grandfather walk to the door, and with difficulty he raised his left foot and was about to cross the threshold. Suddenly he stumbled, tripped over the threshold, and was about to fall. Jiang Changming was shocked when he saw this, and he was about to fly forward. He went to help grandpa, but this time he couldn't run fast no matter what, and couldn't even leave his feet off the ground. He could only watch grandpa fall down. Jiang Changming shouted desperately——
"grandfather--!"
After shouting, Jiang Changming sat up on the bed in shock, his heart beating extremely violently. He gasped for air, then touched his neck and found that the skirt of his clothes was already soaked with cold sweat.
Jiang Changming took a deep breath, and then let out a long sigh of relief. He worked hard to adjust his breathing, and his heartbeat slowly calmed down. Finally, he slowly closed his eyes and thought to himself——
It turns out that... it was just a dream.
Fortunately... it was just a dream.
...
The next morning, Jiang Changming woke up in confusion. Because he had been dreaming all night yesterday, he had not slept well all night, so he looked a little dazed.
Jiang Changming walked towards the hall and heard two women talking there. It seemed that the content of their conversation... also mentioned his own?
Before Jiang Changming could figure out what was going on, he heard a woman's voice coming into his ears——
"Ya Ya, this is the Hotan bracelet my father brought back to me from Tubo a few days ago. I saw it looked good, so I brought it to you."
"Ah, what a beautiful bracelet!" Yaya's surprised voice came from the hall, obviously shocked by such high quality.
In the hall, Yaya stared carefully at the jade treasure in the woman's palm with his big black eyes. I saw that this bracelet was bright in color and as warm as clouds. It was definitely not ordinary, so I naturally liked it. But just when she was about to reach out and touch the flawless white bracelet, she took her hand back and said, "Such a beautiful bracelet must be very precious. Sister, you should keep it for yourself..."
"Hey, what are you talking about? Why are you being polite to your sister?"
"Sister is one of the most beautiful women in the Central Plains. Beautiful jade matches a beauty. It is more suitable for such a beautiful jade to be in the hands of my sister..."
Yaya shook his head like a rattle, and the braid on his head also kept shaking.
"Your little mouth is so sweet!" The woman was obviously very pleased with Yaya's childish words. She smiled and said: "You are naturally beautiful. Who can't see that in a few years our Yaya will also be a beauty that everyone loves? She will definitely be more beautiful than my sister by then!"
After saying that, the woman took the initiative to cross her white and tender little arms to put the bracelet on her.
Although Yaya has seen countless gold and silver jewelry, this bracelet is really too beautiful and hard to see. For a moment, he was a little moved, and his hand was pulled by the woman.
Seeing that Yaya didn't resist, the woman felt happy, so she asked: "Yaya, is your brother in a good mood these days? After hearing that... that day, he...sister I've been worried about your brother being in a bad mood, so today..."
"As for Sister Laucui, my brother is indeed worried about something recently. He——"
Hearing this, Jiang Changming couldn't hide it anymore. He walked into the hall and coughed in a medium voice.
The two women in the hall were startled and stood up in unison.
Being caught by his brother for taking bribes, Yaya was a little embarrassed for a moment and didn't know what to say. Cui Qinglan, who was on the side, suddenly saw her sweetheart appear. She was even more embarrassed and didn't know what to say. Jiang Changming has always been dull about matters between men and women, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
The three of them just stood there, and the atmosphere was slightly awkward.
...
After a while, Ya Ya still had the idea and found a topic to break the awkward atmosphere——
"Brother, Sister Cui asked me to go out to play. I see that you have been depressed these days, so please go out with us too!"
"Yes...yes...Mr. Jiang, why don't you go out with us and travel around the mountains and see the water..."
Cui Qinglan's voice became weaker and weaker, and two red clouds suddenly appeared on her cheeks.
Hearing the two women singing in harmony, Jiang Changming couldn't help but look up at them. Cui Qinglan wore light makeup today. She was obviously dressed up carefully. She was naturally unparalleled and beautiful. At this moment, the natural and natural posture of a little girl was revealed, making her look pitiful and lovely.
His mind was as calm as Jiang Changming's, and he couldn't help but feel a little lost in thought.
Feeling Jiang Changming's gaze, Cui Qinglan became even more ashamed. She had seen this kind of man looking at her with a stupid look countless times, but this time it was different - the person she had longed for stood in front of her and looked at her blankly, and an inexplicable feeling flowed out of her heart instantly. Suddenly, it seemed that her soft heart was being stirred by something softer. Her throat was even a little thirsty, and the two red clouds on her face were even brighter. She was usually fearless, but now her eyes were not clear. He dared to look at Jiang Changming, lowered his head and looked away, his eyes sparkling, so shy.
"Brother? What do you think?"
Seeing Jiang Changming standing there, Yaya yelled at an inappropriate time, interrupting Jiang Changming's thoughts.
"Ah? What?" Jiang Changming suddenly realized that he was uneasy and couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. He quickly looked away and said, "Where did your bracelet come from?"
Seeing that her brother noticed the bracelet, Yaya hurriedly hid her hands behind her back and hesitated: "This, this bracelet, this bracelet was brought by Sister Cui. I saw it looked good, so I begged to let me wear it... ...".
"Then have you brought enough? When you have brought enough, return it to others. How did grandpa teach you on weekdays? You can't take away people's love." Jiang Changming suddenly educated Yaya in an old-fashioned way.
"oh……"
Yaya knew she was in the wrong and took off the bracelet with some reluctance.
Cui Qinglan was anxious and quickly explained: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter! If Sister Yaya likes it, just give it to her. I am also in love with her."
"Miss Cui is so kind and loving, I accept it with my heart! But the Jiang family has a very strict family tradition and no reward will be given without merit. If Yaya likes it, I will have people look for this bracelet. I hope Miss Cui will respect it."
"Can......"
Cui Qinglan was still about to explain, but she felt a tug on her wrist, and Yaya secretly pulled her sleeve, signaling her not to say any more.
Seeing that the bracelet was in Cui Qinglan's hand, Jiang Changming bowed slightly and turned to leave the hall.
Yaya saw this and shouted from behind: "Brother, it's about the trip..."
Jiang Changming stopped and suddenly turned around, first looking at Yaya.
Ya Ya was a little embarrassed to be stared at by Jiang Changming. How could Brother Xiao Jiujiu not know this in her heart, so she laughed shamelessly.
Jiang Changming felt helpless when he saw that his sister was so thick-skinned. He left his sister and turned to look at Cui Qinglan.
Seeing Jiang Changming looking at her, Cui Qinglan was a little at a loss, but she could clearly feel that this time Jiang Changming's eyes did not seem to have the... kind of obsession and intoxication just now. His eyes were very pure and calm, as if he was Looking at yourself is like making a formal explanation to yourself.
After a long time, Jiang Changming took a breath and prepared to respond.
Cui Qinglan's heart was in her throat, nervously waiting for the man in front of her to respond.
This moment is short...
This moment seems very long...
"Next time."
Jiang Changming dropped three words calmly, then turned and left without looking back, leaving Cui Qinglan standing stupidly in the hall.
The moment Jiang Changming's figure disappeared into the hall, Cui Qinglan's tears flowed down her cheeks unsatisfactorily, so pitiful.
Looking at his "cold-blooded" brother and the pitiful Cui Qinglan beside him, Ya Ya sighed inwardly like a little adult - Alas! This brother is really true. Sister Cui, this one-in-a-million beauty, is on par with you in appearance and family background. Even her cultivation is better than that of many men. The two of them were a match made in heaven, but why, how could they... Oh! It seems that the beautiful stories of men and women told in books and plays are not all taken for granted.
Yaya pursed her lips and shook her head. Then, she suddenly smiled and thought again——
In the future, I will definitely find a man who is more handsome and stronger than my brother! Hmm... It's just that there aren't many people in this world who can be as good as my brother, right? No, it definitely doesn’t exist! Hmm... Then just be about the same as my brother, or just a little bit worse than my brother! snort! If he dares to treat me like my brother did to Sister Cui, I will not... no... not pinch him to death!
