I saw a lively and cute little girl with a few pigtails and a light blue skirt. Her face was flushed, and under her curved eyebrows, her pair of watery little eyes were particularly bright, and she ran over happily.
Yi Yuan blinked his eyes and watched the little girl run into the living room. He first called Uncle Yi, then took Master Jiang's hand and said coquettishly: "Grandpa, Grandpa, Brother Yuan hasn't come to play with me for a long time. Now, you and Uncle Yi chat slowly, and we go out to play for a while."
"Really? How do I remember: I took you to Uncle Yi's house a few days ago and played for a long time, and you even broke a vase." Master Jiang said with a smile.
"Ignore you, bad grandpa! Ning Ning didn't break the vase. It was... sister Yi Wei broke it. You can't blame Xiao Ning'er." The little girl pouted, His eyes flashed, and then he spoke confidently, decisively betraying sister Yi Wei who was not present. Then he broke away from grandpa's hand, picked up Yi Yuan, and the two of them ran out of the backyard happily.
Master Jiang said "Oh", a little helpless, and watched the two children leave with a kind face. Yi Zheng beside him laughed.
The two children got along well and had played together since childhood.
Master Jiang summoned the old housekeeper Zhishan, made a pot of hot water, opened the osmanthus tea leaves wrapped in oil paper, took out some and put them into two jade cups, then poured hot water on them, and a light fragrance suddenly appeared. Diffuse all around.
Then he told the old housekeeper to go to the front yard to take care of the two children.
A gentle breeze, mixed with wisps of cold air, hit the bamboo leaves, making a rustling sound.
Six years ago, Master Jiang took Jiang Xiaoning, who was just one month old, and fled to the vicinity of Qingmu City. They exhausted all their strength and fainted on the roadside. He happened to be bumped into by Yi Zheng who was passing by and rescued.
Master Jiang's original name is Jiang Wenzheng. He comes from a family in Pingyuan City. He is erudite and knowledgeable.
Pingyuan City is located 1,200 miles east of Aoki City. The terrain is relatively flat. There are dozens of towns and villages around it. The land is fertile and the population is large.
The Jiang family has been in Pingyuan City for hundreds of years and has a collection of thousands of books. The most famous one is the "Pingyuan Academy" run by the Jiang family, which has cultivated many scholars.
Children of wealthy families have special private schools to teach them. After years of training, those who like to be officials will be recommended to become officials; those who like to run businesses will have a variety of shops in the family for them to choose from; those who like to continue learning will have thousands of books to study at will. The most important thing is that the aristocratic family owns a large amount of land, coupled with a collection of thousands of books, this is the fundamental reason why the aristocratic family can be passed down for a long time.
Most people live by renting farmland from aristocratic families. Fortunately, most of the land in Canglong County is relatively fertile and the weather is good, so people can still live a relatively prosperous life.
As one of the aristocratic families in Pingyuan City, the Jiang family has a high reputation in Pingyuan City for teaching and educating people. The academy not only has a large number of disciples from aristocratic families studying there, but also accepts ordinary people to study.
As the dean of this academy, Master Jiang is upright and treats all disciples equally, whether they are disciples from aristocratic families or ordinary people. Therefore, he has a high reputation in Pingyuan City and is loved by aristocratic families and common people.
Master Jiang has a son, named Jiang Ziyuan, who has been clever and clever since he was a child. As an adult, he became famous throughout Pingyuan City for his literary talent and his own opinions on governance.
There are thirty-six main cities in the entire Qinglong County, and Qingyang City is the largest.
As the seat of the governor of Qinglong County, Qingyang City has a large population. The entire main city has streets crisscrossing each other, numerous shops, and numerous wealthy and aristocratic families.
Back then, Jiang Ziyuan was dressed in white, with a sword hanging from his waist and a red fat horse at his feet. He traveled all the way to Qingyang City and made countless girls fall in love with him.
It happened to be the time for the Qingyang City National College Entrance Examination. Jiang Ziyuan signed up to participate and was delighted to win the top prize.
After meeting the county governor later, the county governor sighed that he had great talent and gave him a Zhuangyuan Mansion with the county magistrate of Qingyang City.
During the dinner, Jiang Ziyuan was also able to cope with the situation with ease, and his elegant and unrestrained demeanor made the governor's daughter who was observing in the dark very happy.
Later, the two happened to meet each other, and they were very satisfied with each other and secretly fell in love. After Jiang Ziyuan asked a matchmaker to introduce him, the two got married.
When Jiang Ziyuan was the magistrate of Qingyang County, he said: the officials were honest, fair and honest, and the people under their rule lived and worked in peace and contentment.
Therefore, he secretly offended many people. Naturally, some people are happy, and some people are secretly dissatisfied.
As long as those who are dissatisfied do not lose too many interests, they will not care too much and can only grit their teeth secretly. The face of the county governor must still be given.
Seven years ago, a series of missing children suddenly occurred, causing great panic among the people.
Careful investigation revealed that most of the missing children belonged to ordinary people in surrounding villages and towns.
Jiang Ziyuan said: The investigating agents must pay attention and find out the cause as soon as possible.
The father-in-law told Jiang Ziyuan privately not to take it seriously and to investigate slowly. After a long time, it will be settled. Things like this happen every year, sometimes more and sometimes less. Don't take it to heart, as long as most people can get by.
Jiang Ziyuan felt helpless, but he didn't want to just watch and remain indifferent. Relying on his good martial arts skills, he investigated carefully in secret, and finally found some clues... and then received a warning from a stranger.
Jiang Ziyuan was secretly vigilant and never appeared again during a hunt for human traffickers.
The father-in-law, the county governor, secretly sent Jiang Xiaoning, who was just one month old, to the Jiang family in Pingyuan City to tell her what had happened. That was the end of it.
Then, the disciples from the aristocratic families in Pingyuan Academy dropped out one after another, leaving only a dozen disciples from poor families.
Jiang Wenzheng was disheartened, resigned as the clan leader, and left Pingyuan City with his granddaughter. However, he was chased by unknown people and fled all the way to the vicinity of Qingmu City. He exhausted his energy and fainted, but was rescued by Yi Zheng.
Yi Zheng had been to Pingyuan City before and had heard about Master Jiang's name, so he took Master Jiang to settle in Funiu Town.
Taking a sip of tea, with the fragrance lingering in his mouth, Yi Zheng said slowly: "The weather is getting colder and colder. It is estimated that heavy snow will fall in two or three days."
