Chapter 256: Not as good as a single hair of yours, Master
Seeing Princess Yingmo’s mouth shape, Jiang Shouzhong’s pupils shrank slightly.
What does this woman mean?
Have you seen through my identity a long time ago?
Jiang Shouzhong suppressed his surprise, calmly looked away, and asked Zhou Wanyue: "I wonder why Your Highness came to see me?"
Zhou Wanyue smiled and said: "Didn't Wanyue say last time that she hoped to chat with Mr. Jiang if she had free time. If Mr. Jiang is inconvenient today, Wanyue will come back another day."
Obviously, the woman learned that The news announced by Wanshou Shanchuan dispelled the previous doubts.
After she couldn't wait for Jiang Shouzhong to come to her, she simply took the initiative.
She firmly believes that her personal charm will definitely win over Jiang Yi. After all, even a man as proud as Shangguan Yunjin could not escape from his grasp.
Jiang Shouzhong shook his head and said:
"It's not inconvenient, but the humble house where my master and I live is a bit crude, and I feel wronged by Your Highness the Princess."
Zhou Wan Yue opened her red lips, her eyebrows curved: "The Master of Dugu Mountain who can marry the best wife in the world, And the candidate for the future master of Longevity Mountain talks elegantly and drinks tea. Even though the house is simple, he is extremely honorable."
"I am ashamed of what your Highness said."
Jiang Shouzhong spoke modestly, but was speechless in his heart... You, the princess, are not very good at flattering you.
It is better to learn from the dog-licking master Jia.
But the other party came at the right time, and he also had some questions he wanted to ask.
"Master Jiang, just call me Wanyue. There is no princess outside, and Wanyue hates others calling me that." Zhou Wanyue continued to close the relationship.
"Miss Wanyue is special. Other women all hope to become royal relatives, but Miss Wanyue is the only one who dislikes her identity."
Jiang Shouzhong said with a smile.
Zhou Wanyue lowered her eyes and said quietly:
"People outside the city envy people within the city, and people within the city envy people outside the city. Sometimes the identity of this princess is just a shackle."
Jiang Shouzhong didn't know whether the other party was showing his true feelings or pretending to win sympathy. , but he was too sensible to continue on this topic.
Because the house was really not suitable for entertaining guests, Jiang Shouzhong simply moved the table under the locust tree in the courtyard and made some tea.
Princess Yingmo looked at the small courtyard and the vegetable garden for a while, then moved her eyes to Dugu Luoxue, who was sewing clothes, and joked with a smile: "I know you are master and apprentice, but if you don't know, still I thought you were a couple. The man farmed and the woman weaved, so it was a good fit."
"Yingmo!"
Zhou Wanyue's expression turned cold and she stared at Princess Yingmo displeasedly, "Don't talk nonsense!"
Princess Yingmo said oh and obediently picked up the cup and drank tea.
Zhou Wanyue smiled apologetically at Jiang Shouzhong: "I'm sorry, Mr. Jiang, this girl Yingmo likes to talk nonsense. She didn't mean to offend you."
"It doesn't matter."< br>
Jiang Shouzhong shook his head gently.
He really didn't have any bad feelings towards this princess.
The two Jiang Shouzhongs paused and said casually: "Speaking of which, I feel bad that Senior Brother Shangguan was removed from his candidate status. And I heard that the eldest princess and Shangguan Yunjin once-"
“It’s just rumors among the people.”
Before Jiang Shouzhong finished speaking, Zhou Wanyue’s expression showed a bit of helplessness and bitterness, “It’s just that Mr. Shangguan painted a painting for me, which caused people to Misunderstanding, mistakenly thought that I liked him.
At first, my father was very optimistic about Shangguan Yunjin and even forced me to go to Wanshou Mountain in the hope that we could develop some relationship, but in the end I disobeyed my father's arrangement. br>
Because I just want to find a man that I really like, and Mr. Shangguan is certainly good, but compared to Mr. Jiang..."
Zhou Wanyue paused for a moment, then realized that she had leaked what she was thinking, and pink cheeks appeared. Embarrassed and slightly blushing, he subconsciously held the teacup to his lips and took a sip.
At the same time, he quickly glanced at Jiang Shouzhong, lowered his head slightly, and pretended that he wanted to look but didn't dare to look. , the tangled little daughter's mood was that she wanted to explain but was afraid that the other party would misunderstand her.
Finally, she pretended to be calm and continued:
"In short, Mr. Shangguan and I have only met each other two or three times. .
Last time, the prince's younger brother begged me to go to the underground palace with Shangguan Yunjin to help him seize the dragon eggs, but I couldn't bear to agree.
At that time, Mr. Shangguan expressed his love for me, but I still refused... Perhaps because of this, Mr. Shangguan became frustrated and decadent, and his future was ruined. It was all my fault. ”
Zhou Wanyue blamed herself extremely.
Jiang Shouzhong listened and sneered secretly.
Should it be said or not, this eldest princess still has some rank.
First, he distanced himself from the relationship with Shangguan Yunjin, and realized that there were some things that Dugu Luoxue couldn't hide here, so he passed the blame on his father and younger brother.
There happens to be some ambiguity here and there.
Finally, he deliberately emphasized that Shangguan Yunjin showed love to her... the other party was a licker, but he was kind-hearted.
In short, the woman's meaning is very clear - even a talented person like Shangguan Yunjin was rejected, which shows how high my standards are and how valuable I am.
My kindness to you is your blessing for ten lifetimes.
Jiang Shouzhong was sarcastic in his heart, but he still comforted her with warm words on the surface:
"It's not your fault. After all, the eldest princess is such a beautiful woman, not to mention that senior brother Shangguan is infatuated with her. Uh... I'm just kidding, I'm afraid I am too. I’ll be fascinated by it.”
Well, you’re being ambiguous, right?
I play too.
Hearing the man's words, Zhou Wanyue's eyelashes trembled and the corners of her lips curled up slightly.
Jiang Shouzhong immediately said angrily: "It's just that the idle people in the world like entertainment so much. They always like to make up stories that they don't understand but think they are the truth. Little do they know that it has caused big trouble for the reputation of the princess. It's really... sigh !" Jiang Shouzhong sighed, looking resentful as the world was declining.
Zhou Wanyue's beautiful eyes were filled with light, and she said softly:
"It doesn't matter how the world misunderstands and slanders Wanyue, as long as Mr. Jiang does not look down on Wanyue, Wanyue is very happy, even if she suffers all kinds of grievances, she doesn't care."
Jiang Shouzhong said solemnly: "Don't worry, sir... Miss Wanyue, when I become the master of the mountain one day, I will definitely do it. Will prove Miss Wanyue’s reputation in front of the world.”
"Thank you, Mr. Jiang."
Looking at the man who seemed to be on top, Zhou Wanyue was grateful and a hint of sarcasm flashed in her eyes.
This Jiang Yi seems to be much easier to deal with than Shangguan Yunjin.
The two chatted for a while, and Jiang Shouzhong asked casually: "Miss Wanyue, are there any troops stationed in Qingzhou?"
Zhou Wanyue was startled and looked at him in confusion: "Mr. Jiang asked What do these do?”
Jiang Shouzhong said with a smile: "In Jinsexie two days ago, Miss Wu Xu said that two businessmen from Nanjin Kingdom were drunk and said that there was going to be a war and that there would be war in Qingzhou."
"War?"
Zhou Wanyue smiled and shook her head, "No, currently Nanjin Kingdom and Dazhou are still in an alliance. As long as Yan Rong is not destroyed, Nanjin Kingdom and Dazhou will never fight. "
Jiang Shouzhong said: "I'm just curious, if Nanjin Kingdom really comes, can it be defended here?"
Zhou Wanyue frowned and thought for a moment, and said softly:
< br>
"Currently, Qingzhou City has a city guard and a garrison. The city guard is responsible for guarding the city gates and walls, and there are about 700 people. The garrison has about 7,000 soldiers, and it is under the command of General Zhao Hezi.
< br>If there is a war, although there are not many soldiers garrisoned in Qingzhou, if they defend it, they can hold on for a while. What's more, there is a garrison about ten miles away from Qingzhou to supplement the troops of the Fengyu Pass border army, with about 60,000 people.
Once Qingzhou is trapped, this army will come to the rescue in time. In short, it is impossible for the Nanjin Kingdom to attack and besiege Qingzhou. "
Jiang Shou hit the target. Nodding, he suddenly asked: "What if rebels appear in Qingzhou?"
"Rebels?"
Zhou Wanyue had never thought about this problem and shook her head with a smile, "It is impossible for rebels to appear in Qingzhou, and it is impossible for rebels to appear in the entire continent. Now that the country is peaceful and stable, why rebel?
Besides, if there are really rebels, , it can only be the 7000 garrison of Zhao Hezi's Shanzi Camp. But Lord Zhao Hezi is loyal to the court, and anyone in Qingzhou may rebel, but he will not." >
Speaking of this, Zhou Wanyue suddenly changed the subject and asked tentatively: "Are Mr. Jiang and Miss Liu Wuxu... very familiar?"
"Oh, friend."
Jiang Shouzhong took out the sachet and explained with a smile, "Miss Wu Xu invited me several times before, and this sachet was a gift from her."
Zhou Wanyue's eyes flickered uncertainly.
She calmed down her emotions and said with a smile: "Miss Liu is the number one in Qingzhou, she is considered the most beautiful woman."
The woman's implication was very clear.
The other party is a prostitute. As a candidate for the future master of Longevity Mountain, it is inappropriate to hang out with such a person.
Jiang Shouzhong pretended not to hear it, but said sincerely: "Miss Liu is indeed beautiful, but Miss Wanyue is more beautiful and more elegant than her."
The words that were supposed to be compliments made Zhou Wanyue look cold and clenched her fists subconsciously.
A majestic princess of a country is actually compared with a prostitute!
What does it mean?
Am I also a prostitute?
Looking at the man's innocent, sincere, and heartfelt praise, Zhou Wanyue could only suppress her unhappiness.
The two chatted for a while, and Zhou Wanyue stood up to leave.
Before leaving, she suddenly took off a jade hairpin from her head and handed it to Jiang Shouzhong:
“Mr. Jiang, although this jade hairpin is not a valuable thing, Wanyue has been wearing it. , please accept it as a small gift from Wanyue."
Jiang Shouzhong quickly declined.
But in the end, at the woman’s insistence, she accepted the hosta.
"Don't worry, Miss Wanyue, I will keep it well."
Jiang Shouzhong's eyes were firm.
Zhou Wan's eyes were full of shyness and a smile, she nodded, got on the carriage and left.
Watching the carriage go away, Jiang Shouzhong murmured: "You want me to be a licking dog? I feel that Lao A is more suitable."
Recalling Zhou Wanyue's words, Jiang Shouzhong expressed his feelings towards the Qingzhou man named Zhao The commander-in-chief of Hezi became suspicious. Apparently something went wrong with this loyal martyr.
Back in the small courtyard, Dugu Luoxue said calmly: "That woman is not simple."
When Shangguan Yunjin was tricked by poisonous insects placed in her body, it was enough to show that this princess was ruthless. Although Jiang Shouzhong has a lot of acting parts, she still has to remind her.
“I understand, this kind of woman is not even as good as a hair on your head, master.”
Jiang Shouzhong smiled.
Dugu Luoxue said no more and was sewing clothes carefully.
But what she was thinking was:
Does the "hair" the other party said refer to hair? If it's not hair, then she's actually hairless.
