When will he come back?
Jiang Shu frowned and calculated silently.
Yu Zheng left Beijing on May 11th, and today is May 29th. I'm afraid it will be a few more days.
"About ten days." Jiang Shu did not dare to say too little, fearing that Yu Zheng would not come back when the time came, and Jiang's father and Jiang's mother would have random thoughts again.
It doesn't matter when he comes back, what matters is Yu Zheng's attitude.
Jiang's father said with a solemn expression: "Life-long events are not a trivial matter. You have to think about it carefully and discuss it with him."
"Your father is right, but you can't be wronged without knowing it." Jiang's mother also said.
Their daughter may not marry into the royal family or become a princess, but she must not suffer any further injustice.
Looking at his parents with compassionate and worried faces, Jiang Shu nodded, pursed his lips and said, "My daughter understands."
It had been sunny for half a month, and then it started to rain on the first day of June.
There has been nothing important in the shop recently, so Jiang Shu didn't go out on rainy days.
In the evening two days later, the rain stopped and the sky cleared, and gorgeous clouds appeared on the horizon.
Jiang Shu lay in front of the window and couldn't help but think of the two sunsets he had seen with Yu Zheng.
She missed the sunset, and she missed Yu Zheng even more.
The peony that Yu Zheng gave her last time had already failed, and she buried it in the courtyard and became flower fertilizer.
It is now June, and the peony flowering period has passed. If you want to enjoy them again, you will have to wait until next year.
Jiang Shu was thinking wildly, and Jiang Ning quietly entered the room, sneaked up and patted her shoulder.
"Ah!" Jiang Shu, who was entranced, was startled.
Jiang Ning didn't expect her reaction to be so strong, and was frightened.
"Sister, what are you thinking about?"
Jiang Shu turned around and glared at him, stroking Dong Dong's beating chest and said, "I won't tell you."
"Oh, I know, you must be thinking about your lover." Jiang Ning winked, looking like he understood everything.
Jiang Shu's pretty face turned red instantly when he was told the central issue.
"Hey, I really miss my lover." Jiang Ning came closer and teased.
Jiang Shu said angrily, "If you keep talking, I'll kick you out."
"It's not just me who needs to go out, you also need to go out." Jiang Ning said, reaching out and pulling her up.
Jiang Shu was confused: "Where to go?"
Jiang Ning said angrily: "Eat! I can't get enough just thinking about my lover."
His sister, whose heart is full of her lover, is afraid that she will get married soon and will not have many days left to spend time with him.
Jiang Ning felt depressed and uncomfortable.
After dinner, Jiang Ning took Jiang Shu to play chess and chatted until Jiang Shu yawned sleepily before letting her go.
"Hurry up and get some rest. You have to get up early to go to school tomorrow." Jiang Shu warned with a yawn.
Jiang Ning smiled at her: "Tomorrow the academy starts its long holiday."
Jiang Shu was startled: "So you are torturing me on purpose, you brat."
Jiang Shu glared at Jiang Ning and walked out angrily.
Jiang Ning smiled and waved: "Sister, walk slowly and have a good sleep. I will wake you up early tomorrow morning."
Jiang Shu's legs trembled and he almost fell.
"Girl, be careful." Tan Yu held a lantern and led the way.
When the master and servant returned to Shutong Courtyard, Chu Yu had prepared hot water and was waiting for Jiang Shu to take a bath.
Jiang Shu was so sleepy that he almost fell asleep leaning against the bathtub.
After wiping off the water drops and putting on his pajamas, Jiang Shu went to bed and went to sleep.
Chu Yu extinguished the candles in the room, closed the door and left.
It was a hot summer day and the windows were open. The night breeze blew into the house, making Jiang Shu turn over comfortably.
The bed was facing the window. Jiang Shu, who was in a daze, heard a slight sound of landing and opened his eyes half asleep.
A thin black shadow slowly walked towards her.
Jiang Shu woke up suddenly and sat up in shock.
"Don't be afraid, girl, it's me." Leng Xing said hurriedly.
Jiang Shu's head was spinning and he asked confusedly: "What are you doing by climbing out of the window?"
Leng Xing never shows up on weekdays, even if she calls out, what happened tonight?
Leng Xing stamped his feet in front of the bed and whispered: "The master is back and wants to see the girl."
"Ah?" Jiang Shu's drowsiness disappeared immediately after hearing this, and he asked in a sober and slightly anxious voice: "Where is he?"
Leng Xing said: "I'll take the girl out to the secluded alley behind Jiang's house."
Jiang Shu got out of bed and put on his shoes. After walking two steps, he remembered that he was only wearing pajamas. He ran back in the dark, took the coat that Chu Yu put on the bedside and put it on.
In order not to disturb Chu Yu and the others, Leng Xing helped Jiang Shu climb out of the window, and finally used Qing Kung Fu to fly her over the courtyard wall, and landed in the back alley after a few ups and downs.
"The master is waiting for the girl in the car." Leng Xing pointed to the carriage parked in the alley.
Through the thin moonlight, Jiang Shu vaguely saw the carriage in the alley, and walked away happily.
Zhufeng sat on the car's shaft and dozed off. When he heard Jiang Shu's footsteps approaching, he opened his eyes and jumped out of the car. He put down the car seat, opened the car door, walked to the alley, and talked to Leng Xing.
Jiang Shu lifted up the hem of her skirt and stepped onto the carriage.
Just like last time, as soon as Jiang Shu got into the car door, he was pulled over by a strong arm.
The familiar embrace and the familiar scent of crisp cedar made Jiang Shumoming want to cry: "You're back."
The night was too dark and there were no lights in the car. Jiang Shu couldn't see Yu Zheng's face clearly, so he could only reach out and touch it.
Yu Zheng responded in a low voice and let her soft and warm hands roam around his face.
When Jiang Shu touched Yu Zheng's soft lips, he felt a strange heat flow from his fingertips to his whole body.
Yu Zheng grabbed her hand, pecked it lightly, then pulled it aside and covered her soft lips.
The two lips touched, and the emotions and longings that had been suppressed in his heart suddenly burst out. Jiang Shu took the initiative to wrap his arms around Yu Zheng's neck.
This move was a great encouragement to Yu Zheng. He put one arm around her waist and the other on the back of her head, gradually going deeper.
"Well -" Jiang Shu's delicate body trembled and she let out a cry.
This tender moan greatly stimulated Yu Zheng, and the kiss became more fierce, as if he wanted to tear the person in his arms into his belly.
The delicate lips hurt from being sucked, and Jiang Shu pushed painfully.
Yu Zheng reluctantly let go of her and panted against her forehead.
After a passionate kiss, Jiang Shu gasped for breath, and after a while he said, "Have you just arrived in Beijing?"
With Yu Zheng's temperament of restraining himself and returning to etiquette, he would not have chosen to see her so late if he had not returned late at night.
"Well, we just arrived." Yu Zheng's voice was low and hoarse, showing a bit of exhaustion.
A few days ago, he received a secret letter from Zhuiyun. After learning that Jiang Shu was being proposed to marry by various families, he was so anxious that he couldn't sleep at night.
He accelerated his plan to annihilate the bandits' nest and left the follow-up matters to Shen Changhuai and Zhou Bexu, while he rushed back to Beijing day and night.
Along the way, he stopped for a night at the inn and spent the rest in the car.
That night, Zhufeng and the accompanying guards couldn't hold on any longer, so they had no choice but to go to the inn to rest.
Rushing back to Beijing tonight, Yu Zheng asked the guards to go back to the palace to rest, and he and Zhufeng went directly to Jiang's house.
He wanted to see her and couldn't wait until midnight.
"But are you tired?" Hearing the tiredness in Yu Zheng's words, Jiang Shu asked warmly.
Yu Zheng hugged her tightly, buried his face in her neck and said, "I'm so anxious to see you that I haven't slept all day and all night."
Although I dozed off in the car on the way, I was so restless that I didn't fall asleep, and the bumpy carriage made it difficult to sleep at all.
"Why are you in such a hurry? I can't run." Jiang Shu felt distressed and a little funny.
Yu Zheng, who is usually reserved and calm, can be as willful as a child at times.
Yu Zheng gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "You won't run away. If I don't come back, you should be snatched away."
Yu Zheng never expected that he would just leave the capital to suppress a bandit, and his wife would almost be lost.
