Xiao Qinghuan

Chapter 44

Yelan is more candle-lit, relatively like a dream.

Although this candlelight did not know whether it led to life, it really attracted the person he wanted to see.

Yan Qing stared blankly at Jiang Xiaohan walking towards him, feeling like he was in a dream.

Jiang Xiaohan's clothes today are not quite similar to those in the past. He does not wear a crown, his long hair is tied high with a headband, and the black clothes on his body are embroidered with white cranes with silk threads of the same color. The movement is faintly visible.If you don't look carefully, you may think it is the cloud pattern left by the crane's wings.

There are fine silver wristbands buckled on his wrists, and the girdle is tightly gathered around his waist, outlining his slender waistline.At a glance, although he is in good spirits, he seems to have lost weight.

The long sword was worn by his side, and the pitch-black sword body blended with his clothes, making him look majestic and heroic. Looking from a distance, he was even sharper than Jiang Ying.

Jiang Xiaohan seemed to have come here in a hurry, his long hair was stuck to his back shoulders, a little wet.

Yan Qing didn't seem to understand why Jiang Xiaohan suddenly appeared in such a mountain village a hundred miles away from Pingjiang Mansion, and he was stunned at the door, which was rare.

Jiang Xiaohan walked in front of him, stretched out his hand and waved in front of his eyes: "Return to God."

Yan Qing's whole body froze, and belatedly realized that she had been staring at Jiang Xiaohan since just now, and subconsciously looked away, her ears turned slightly red.

Jiang Xiaohan looked at him funny: "What's the matter, I haven't seen you in half a month, don't you know me?"

"Why are you...cough." Yan Qing cleared his throat, and managed to regain his voice: "Why are you here?"

It's really not his fault for losing his composure, even if a person who was communicating with him a hundred miles away in the morning suddenly appeared in front of him, his reaction was quite normal.

In addition, Jiang Xiaohan seems to be very eye-catching wherever he goes. The majestic jade lion did not suppress his limelight at all, on the contrary, it made him even more heroic.

"I miss you." Jiang Xiaohan seemed to say something that couldn't be more natural, he bent his eyes, looked at Yan Qing with a smile, and added: "That's why I came."

With the help of the candlelight at the door, Yan Qing saw the blackness in Jiang Xiaohan's eyes, and he frowned almost invisible: "You write to me every day, telling me to eat well and rest early, you haven't rested for a few days, okay? "

Jiang Xiaohan was taken aback for a moment, obviously realizing that he had made an omission. He touched his nose, turned around, and turned around to grab the horse that had been thrown a few steps away in a hurry.

The Jade Lion was quite human, and would not run away even after letting go of the reins. It stood obediently where it was, and when it saw Jiang Xiaohan approaching, it even arched its head towards Jiang Xiaohan's shoulders quite affectionately.

"There are too many things going on in Pingjiang City, and that old guy Wen Zui caused me a lot of trouble." Jiang Xiaohan felt that he was at fault, and walked over leading the horse, laughing flatteringly: "The quality of the officials in the government office varies from good to bad, and Wei Shen He's a military commander, so he's bound to be a little hectic."

Yan Qing had a look of disapproval, but it's a pity that Mr. Jiang is really resourceful and decisive, and before Yan Qing could say anything, he made a small fuss first, which gave him a lot of face.

The jade lion pawed the ground obediently, tilted its head to look at its master, seemed to weigh the situation, then lowered its head obediently and rubbed Yan Qing's hand.

Yan Qing finally lost her temper after being quarreled by this master and servant, she could only shake her head helplessly, and the corners of her lips curled slightly.

"It's a joke." Jiang Xiaohan exaggeratedly let out a sigh of relief, and patted the Jade Lion's neck: "Sure enough, you still have a big face."

"Nonsense." Yan Qing pursed his lips and tried to put on a serious expression. Unfortunately, since he saw Jiang Xiaohan, his eyes had turned into puddles of water. Even if he barely showed a stern look, it was not lethal.

Jiang Xiaohan looked at him, and felt that he had been sleepless for several nights, as if it was just for this moment, that even the fatigue on his body was swept away in a short time.

After Wen Zui collapsed, Pingjiang Mansion became a complete mess. He had to deal with the reporting and daily affairs scheduling of the surrounding counties, and also sent letters to Jingzhong to explain the situation one by one.Even if he knew that this was a trap that Ning Yu had thrown for him, he still had to pretend not to know it, jumped in with gritted teeth, and pleaded guilty in fear, which took a lot of effort.

During those long nights, when the candles were dimly lit, he could always think of the bowl of wonton noodles that he ate in the alley when he insisted on dragging Yan Qing to Wangchun Pavilion for a visit.A few days ago, Jiang Xiaohan couldn't sleep day and night, and Jiang Xiaohan even went there twice by himself, but he always felt that the noodles that he thought were like delicacies had become tasteless.It was only later that he suddenly realized that the noodles were not important, it was just that there was one less person around to eat noodles with him.

Jiang Xiaohan has lived for 27 years. Although he has never married or married a wife due to the ups and downs of the court and family mourning, he considers himself not a fool.

In the rainy night in Pingjiang City, when he thought of Yan Qing for the first time without warning, he already understood that he had Yan Qing in his heart—maybe even earlier, when he took himself with him. From the moment he took off the jade pendant for many years from his waist, he might have been moved.

Pingjiang mansion travels to and from the capital, even if it is light riding a fast horse, it takes three days to run day and night. Jiang Xiaohan sent three urgent letters back to Beijing overnight, and worked day and night to properly manage the internal and external affairs of Pingjiang mansion. Finally, on the sixth day In the evening, I received a letter from Jingzhong.

Not surprisingly, the reply letter was approved by Ning Yu, and it was full of long-winded bureaucratic accents. First, he expressed regret for the situation, and then praised Jiang Xiaohan for his calmness in the face of danger. In the end, he sold his personal favor and only wrote the matter of Wen Zui lightly as "" Accident", this is the final conclusion.

After receiving the reply letter, the affairs of the Pingjiang Mansion can be considered to be temporarily over.Jiang Mo persuaded him to go deeper, and he would have time to leave the next day, but Jiang Xiaohan couldn't wait for a moment, so he just left the affairs of the city to Wei Shen, and rode out of the city by himself.

It was not yet dark when he left the city, and it was raining lightly at Pingjiang Mansion. He galloped across the country road in the twilight, and the rain hit his body, so he found a rare pleasure.

But Jiang Xiaohan wouldn't be so stupid as to rush to show off all his thoughts. Mr. Jiang has always been strategizing. Now that he knows his own intentions, the rest must be done step by step and gradually figured out.

Seeing that the two of them had been silent at the same time for some reason from the very beginning, Jade Lion got a little anxious and bowed his head to Yan Qing again.

Jiang Xiaohan pulled the reins and gave a light reprimand. The Jade Lion lowered his head aggrievedly, and stomped the horse's hooves on the ground.

Yan Qing felt amused: "What are you training it for?"

"It saw you for the first time, and it was looking for you to eat." Jiang Xiaohan tied the jade lion to the horse stool in the yard, and patted its back and neck as comfort: "The horse grass here is not fresh. , I will feed you when I return to camp tomorrow."

This is Jiang Xiaohan's horse, of course he has the final say, Yan Qing has no objection, but the jade lion stares at him with a pair of watery eyes, which looks a little pitiful.

Jiang Xiaohan tied up his horse, and walked towards Yan Qing again, cutting off the eyes of the man and the horse.

"Forget about horses." Jiang Xiaohan rubbed his stomach pretendingly: "I came all the way, but the water and rice haven't come in yet. How is it? Is there anything to eat?"
