When Jiang Yuegang followed Nie Zhao, she was extremely observant of his words in order not to make him angry. Now, although she no longer had to do this, she could still see his nervousness at the first glance.
Nie Zhao saw her eyes were worried and hesitated to speak. He knew that his emotions could easily affect her, so he quickly touched her two buns and said, "It's okay. Let's go. I'll take you to talk about the next question."
The most troublesome thing about raising a child is this. You have to try to maintain peace and stability in front of her at all times, so that she will not be like a frightened bird and become confused at every turn, especially when a child like Jiang Yue is handed over to her. Be extra careful already.
After waiting for two days, there was really no big move in Zhucheng. The people were as usual. Jiang Yue still went to school, but she also had her own thoughts. When the third brother asked her to hold the money box that day, she I tried it, and it felt light inside. The third brother spent all the money on fixing her hair and buying her new clothes, but the third brother probably won’t buy them for himself this year...
And when she taught arithmetic last night, she made her third brother very angry. When she woke up this morning, his face was all sallow, and she was really useless.
Jiang Yue held her chin, stared at the camphor tree outside the college window and sighed.
She sighed for the 108th time, and a figure stood in front of her. The boy was wearing the uniform of Qingyun Academy, but Jiang Yue saw that the embroidery on his chest was different from hers. It turned out that he was from Class A of Qinghe.
"Classmate Jiang Yue, are you still worried about arithmetic? I am a first-class student in arithmetic. If you need me, I can use my friendship as a classmate to help you..." The young man said shyly and scratched his head.
Jiang Yue finally laid her eyes on his face, a narrow and thin face, very handsome, with fair skin, a nose and eyes, which were straight and unbiased, with a high nose bridge, clear eyes, eyelashes It's long, and when you sweep it down, you look very innocent. At first glance, you can see that he is an honest and sincere person, and he looks the same as Jiang Yue.
Honest and sincere people are common, but honest and sincere people in Zhucheng are not common.
"I, my name is Rong Dainian." The other party said.
Before Jiang Yue asked anything, he revealed his family's wealth. His father was originally doing business in Zhucheng and passed away two and a half years ago. He lived with his mother. Before that, Nie Zhao helped his family collect debts from Liang Wansan. He just returned from his study tour last month.
Jiang Yue said "Oh~" in a long voice. She had the impression that when she first arrived in Zhucheng, the third brother turned out to be collecting debts for his family.
She frowned and looked at him, and his face turned red. Jiang Yue had an idea in her mind and asked him bluntly: "Do you like me?"
If she had said this to Jiang Yue who had just arrived in Zhucheng, she would have killed her head first, saying that this was simply unruly! But now Jiang Yue asked too frankly.
In fact, no matter how careful Nie Zhao was and set an example, the traces he would inadvertently reveal from time to time would be enough to influence Jiang Yue, such as directly asking Rong Dainian if he liked her.
Rong Dainian blushed even more, coughed slightly, and nodded.
He thought Jiang Yue was so special. She was very demure and melancholy just sitting there, as if she was about to break. She was different from others.
Jiang Yue thought this would be easy to handle. She patted the place next to her and said obediently: "Come on, then sit down and teach me the questions. Let's cultivate our relationship."
This is a good idea. Rong Dainian seems to be a good person. Although he is not as good-looking as his third brother, he is still very good. He likes her, and his family has quite a lot of money in business. If she marries him, he will definitely continue to give her money. Leave it to Shuxiu and let her go to school, then she won't have to drag her third brother down anymore, and she can even use Rong Dai's money to make new clothes for him.
When she can make money on her own, she will return the money to Rong Dainian.
But is this a lie? Did she deceive Rong Dainian's feelings?
Jiang Yue thought about it and remembered what Nie Zhao said: When dealing with others, it is impossible to treat each other with complete sincerity. As long as the other party does not suffer, it is already the best.
If she didn't use his money in vain, she would marry him as his wife. This was not cheating, Jiang Yue thought clearly.
Rong Dainian is indeed a good person, and he lectures very carefully, but for Jiang Yue, the effect is very little, not as useful as the example of the third brother cutting her into nine sections, but she still nodded, giving Rong Dainian a little confidence.
After all, it's important to cultivate relationships. Don't lose your popularity. If she doesn't know how, she should go back and ask her third brother.
When Nie Zhao came to pick up Jiang Yue, he always felt that the atmosphere was strange. He met a male student on the way, bowed to him with a red face, and then ran away quickly.
When he was studying as a child, he would often have people of the same sex fawning over him. He actually didn't think it was anything special, but Jiang Yue actually waved goodbye to the male student. He felt a buzz in his heart and felt bad.
But Jiang Yue was very generous and didn't look like he had anything to do with it. Although he was suspicious, he couldn't ask rashly.
It's rare that he is so entangled. Ask, Jiang Yue is a girl. If he makes a mistake and makes her cry, it means he doesn't trust her...
Nie Zhao thought about it and decided that it would be better to observe more.
On the way back, he held her hand, bought her a candied haws, and said in a subtle way: "If something happens to you, remember to tell me."
"Okay." Jiang Yue agreed wholeheartedly and handed the candied haws to him for the first bite. Nie looked at the hawthorns and saw that there were only six hawthorns in total. Jiang Yue was so greedy that her eyes gleamed, so she pushed it back.
"You can eat it yourself. Eat more, and you have to walk on horseback at night."
Learning martial arts is very difficult. Nie Zhao has learned the horse stance since he could walk. Without years of childhood skills, martial arts would not be good, so he did not intend to make Jiang Yue endure such hardship at the beginning. Shooting Kung Fu is enough for her to strengthen her body.
But now that the situation is unclear, he has a lot of worries in his heart. He thinks that even if he can't learn anything, he still needs some means of self-protection. He knows where to stab with the knife and kill people with the least effort. These methods are not the best, just in case.
He felt that he was becoming more and more like a harried woman with a sad face who only wanted to take care of her children. She was worried about this and that of her children, and one day she would have to grow old to worry about her appearance.
Jiang Yue's horse step on the first day was beyond Nie Zhao's expectations. He originally thought that half an hour would be a big deal, but he didn't expect that he would stand firm for half an hour before falling down.
What does half an hour mean? Even the strong men who kill pigs in the city may not be able to last this long. He is full of optimism about Jiang Yue's journey of practicing martial arts.
"Hey, it's pretty good," Nie Zhao hugged her shoulders, walked around her twice, kicked her calves, and sighed, "I just said where did all your food go? It turned out to be useful here. It’s not like I wasted all that food in vain.”
Jiang Yue was kicked by him and fell down with an "ouch". She lay on the ground and couldn't get up. With aggrieved eyes, she said, "Third brother, I can't hold on any longer. I want to eat."
"No, no, no, I think you can still hold on. Squat for another two-quarters of an hour." Nie Zhao kicked her as she fell to the ground. "Don't be ridiculous. Squat for another two-quarters of an hour. Do you want to learn how to use a sword? How to use a gun? I don't know. Let me teach you, it looks really cool when you play it." He coaxed.
The Nie family is not a high-ranking family. It was only in his grandfather's generation that he became a prince based on military merit. Therefore, his family had a lot of knowledge and knew a lot about swords, guns, swords and halberds. It was not until his father's generation that they really worshiped famous teachers, specialized in swordsmanship and marksmanship, and learned cloth. Formation of troops. Although Jiang Yue doesn't know how to be a female general, he probably has to teach her formation techniques.
Jiang Yue was still lying on the ground and simply closed her eyes: "I don't, third brother, didn't you say that just walking on horseback would be enough? Why do you have to learn so much?" She turned over, face down, and put herself Buried in snowdrifts.
She was really tired and her legs were shaking.
No matter what Nie Zhao said, she had no intention of getting up and would rather stay cold.
He shook his head, went into the kitchen, came back after a while, took out something, half-crouched next to Jiang Yue, placed it on her face and shook it.
apple! It’s the aroma of apples! There are apples!
Zhucheng is not suitable for growing fruits, so there are only some candied fruits, which shows how tempting a sweet and fresh apple is to Jiang Yue.
She swallowed, raised her head, and looked at Nie Zhao with bright eyes.
Nie Zhao gently wiped away the hair and snow on her cheeks: "Squat for another two-quarters of an hour..."
Before he could finish his words, Jiang Yue was already in a hurry to get up and brace herself.
Nie Zhao couldn't help but chuckle. It was really easy. An apple could coax her into walking for another two quarters of an hour. He would have a daughter in the future, and most of them would not be so well-behaved. I'm afraid she wouldn't be half as easy to coax.
Thinking of this, his smile couldn't help but slow down. He could barely survive by just collecting the down payment, but there was no need to think about it if he lived well. Jiang Yue could only see an apple, and her eyes would light up. If placed in Beijing, apples would be the least valuable thing.
She can't live like this forever if she follows him.
Nie Zhao couldn't help but touch the headband on Jiang Yue's hair. It was red and had no decoration at all. In the capital, a young lady of her age would not only be covered in embroidery and beading. , Hua Guang Yaocai, at least a few pieces of valuable jewelry, but she didn't care about anything.
When it comes to making money in a city, in addition to doing business, it is to join the army to earn heads. In addition to a fixed salary, a Leran head is worth a hundred coins. Although the city is relatively stable, there are constant frictions at the border. As long as he kills enough people, With a thousand people, Jiang Yue could save up her dowry. This was what he was best at. To be precise, this was what their family had been good at for generations.
In short, as long as he works harder, it will be easy to be promoted to centurion. If he buys a horse, leaves early and returns late, Jiang Yue's life will be much better. Now that the situation is unstable, he needs to save some money for the future.
Jiang Yue made two quarters of an hour's work, cut the apple in half, and gave the big one to Nie Zhao. After finishing the small one, he squinted his eyes with satisfaction. Nie Zhao took out the core of the half in his hand and handed it over again. Her: "Eat."
"No, third brother, you can eat it too." Jiang Yue pushed the apple back, but Nie Zhao stuffed it directly into her mouth.
"Eat it, you won't be able to eat only half an apple forever." Nie Zhao said quietly.
