When Jian Yu woke up, she was no longer sleepy. When she heard the protest from her stomach, she called Hongmei and asked the chef to bring food.
It happened to be noon, and Jian Yu wanted to have lunch before going to catch up on her sleep.
When my grandfather comes back in the evening, my acting must be as realistic as the one in front of the Queen Mother, otherwise my grandfather will see it!
With these thoughts in mind, before Jian Yu could even move her chopsticks, she saw Hongmei running back, panting slightly, as she just walked out: "Miss, the master is back! He is coming to our yard."
When Taifu Jian came back to the mansion, he first asked the housekeeper to take Rong Xiao to the guest room to rest, and then went straight to Jian Yu's courtyard.
Jian Yu looked at the table full of food, and her first reaction was to take a few bites quickly. As a woman who lost her beloved, she must have no appetite. In front of her grandfather, she couldn't eat this meal.
After she rearranged the dishes she had messed up, it looked as full as the ones served. Jian Yu drank tea and rinsed her mouth. When she heard the footsteps getting closer, she said to Hongmei: "Remove this food." Come on, I have no appetite."
"An'an, how can your body not be without food?"
Taifu Jian's voice came from outside, and his tone was full of disapproval. An'an was Jian Yu's nickname. Taifu Jian chose it, which means peace and quiet.
"Grandpa!" Jian Yu pretended to be surprised and stood up to greet him.
Jian Yu came to Shengjing from Jiangnan for only half a month, and she only met Taifu Jian once. Then Taifu Jian took the prince out of Shengjing, and this was the second time.
So it's normal to be a little excited. Before she was ten years old, Jian Yu lived in Taifu's Mansion. When other juniors saw Taifu, they had to greet Taifu in a polite manner. But Jian Yu could sit on Taifu Jian's neck and ride a horse and say hello. Frame child.
Even after not seeing each other for many years, the grandfather and grandson reunited again and remained close, as if they had never been separated.
The grandfather and grandson often communicated with each other, and the little trinkets brought from Jiangnan from time to time were Jian Yu's filial piety to her grandfather. Taifu Jian was very useful, and they were all kept in a box and no outsiders were allowed to touch them.
"An'an, what's going on with the marriage grant? Why is it said that you asked for it?"
At this moment, Mrs. Jian had a solemn face and a gentle tone. He was never willing to lose his temper towards his granddaughter.
"Grandpa, Prince Jing is dead, wuwuwuwu..."
No need to explain anything, just cry at the beginning.
Mrs. Jian's face was tense for a second. Seeing her granddaughter looking so sad, she quickly stepped forward to comfort her: "An'an, don't cry. Grandpa is here. Tell him what is going on. If the sky falls, he will hold up... "
Jian Yu, who was pretending to cry at first, now sheds more tears. When the original owner died, the person she felt most ashamed of, besides her parents, was her grandfather who treated her so well.
"Grandpa, this is what happened..."
Jian Yu talked about what happened in the palace, but the content was not true. She first expressed the grievances she encountered in the palace, and then heard the bad news of Prince Jing's death, and was heartbroken and did something wrong, etc.
Finally, she told her admiration for Prince Jing in more detail, but she told others simply. When she told her grandfather, Jian Yu told her the reason why she was attracted and the process of deep-rooted love.
As a "reader" who has read countless novels, it is too easy for Jian Yu to make up a reason for her love.
Mrs. Jian was successfully deceived after hearing her granddaughter's words. The most lethal part was the last sentence.
"Grandpa, my granddaughter knows that she is unlucky. If she marries someone else and has a child, and then dies, what will happen if my child has no mother? Just allow me to be willful and ask me to marry the person I like, even if I die, No regrets…”
Having said this, Mrs. Jian sighed and shook his head.
"Chi'er, you look like my grandmother, and your temperament is similar to her..." Taifu Jian seemed to remember his old friend through Jian Yu.
"That's all, it's up to you, leave everything to Grandpa, just be happy."
Listening to Mrs. Jian's answer, Jian Yu couldn't hold back the tears she had just stopped. A good man like his grandfather did not end well in the end. He became ill and died in a strange way.
"Grandpa, An An also wants to protect you." Jian Yu said in a hoarse voice, word for word.
Mrs. Jian smiled and said yes, but regarded her granddaughter's words as childish.
After staying in Jian Yu's yard for a long time, he finally left after seeing his granddaughter eating half a bowl of rice.
Jian Yu knew that she had passed the test with her grandfather. She called Hongmei who was waiting outside the door to come in and asked her grandfather why he came back early.
When Mrs. Jian came over just now, she sent Hongmei out to find out if her grandfather could come back early because of her matter, but she found that there were knife scratches under her grandfather's robe and blood stains on the edges of his shoes.
"Miss, someone from the Ministry of Justice just came to ask questions. Our Tutor met an assassin!"
"There was also a young man who came back with the Taifu. That man seemed to have saved the Taifu."
In addition to her great strength, Hongmei also has the advantage of being good at asking for information. Her innocent face doesn't seem to be offensive at all, and she often tells what she wants to know in a cliché.
"The old lady is going to have a family dinner tonight to thank the knight."
Jian Yu was thoughtful, could this assassin be related to the heroine? Originally, Jian Yu wanted to tell her grandfather about her encounter with the assassin at night, but now that she thought about it, she might as well meet the assassin herself and ask him about it. If there were any clues, she could eliminate the danger around her grandfather.
In the evening, Jian Yu attended the family dinner. She also wanted to thank the knight who saved her grandfather.
It was a family banquet, and the generosity of men and women in the Zhou Dynasty was not so strict, so two large tables were placed in the courtyard, one on the left and one on the right as they passed by.
The men of the family sit with the guests at the left table, while the female guests sit at the right table.
When the Grand Tutor was speaking in honor of his benefactor, the female guests also stood up and toasted with wine.
Jian Yu sat aside and secretly observed the young master of the Rong family who had saved her grandfather. He was ordinary-looking, not handsome, with some pockmarks on his face, and his skin was not very good, but his words and deeds were elegant and his temperament was outstanding. He is a son well-trained by his family.
I heard the old lady say that the other party was a member of the Rong family, and her familiar tone suggested that there should be no problem with her identity.
Jian Yu withdrew her gaze and stopped paying attention. Then, her eyes froze.
Why does the Zhu Chai that Mr. Rong dropped from his sleeves look so familiar to? Watching the other party pick it up, twist it around his fingers, and stuff it into his chest again, Jian Yu felt a little short of breath.
This is the "love token" that bitch assassin took from her! Of course Jian Yu recognized her own hairpin. It was specially made for her by a jewelry shop for her birthday last year. It is the only one in the world!
Jian Yu, who didn't dare to look anymore, was in shock. The other party did it on purpose! Let her find out on purpose! People with strong martial arts skills are most alert to sight, and this person must have noticed it, so that's why he was like this.
Not only did the assassin sneak into the house, but he also became a guest? ! Jian Yu calmed down and told herself to calm down.
Realizing that Jian Yu was no longer looking this way, the smile in Zhou Jinyan's eyes deepened, and he seemed to have seen clearly.
