As soon as Qu Shunhua got into the carriage, she saw the handsome Zuo Guangshu. The man with a gentle smile next to him also came into her sight.
He was dressed in a green robe, sitting next to the young duke of Chu, but he didn't lose to him at all.
Qu Shunhua had done a lot of things like climbing into carriages and windows.
Not only herself, but also Zuo Guangshu had been used to it.
But it was inevitably a little embarrassing to be seen by outsiders.
After all, she was the daughter of a big family. She was a lady from a big family!
The Qu Family was a thousand-year-old family, and Qu Shunhua was born in Tianjiao … How could the word "embarrassing" describe her?
At this moment.
Zuo Guangshu was leaning against the back wall of the carriage, Jiang Wang was leaning against the window, and Qu Shunhua was leaning against the door with one hand holding the curtain. The smile on her face froze.
The three of them didn't speak.
Qu Shunhua was silent because of embarrassment.
Zuo Guangshu was silent because he was embarrassed and didn't know how to introduce Qu Shunhua to Jiang Wang. Friend? Sister of the Qu Family?
Jiang Wang was silent because he didn't know what she wanted to do by getting into the carriage, and he didn't know how she and Zuo Guangshu usually got along … Maybe they just clapped hands and left?
Just like that, the carriage fell into a strange silence.
"You're here!" Jiang Wang was the first to speak.
He wasn't a person who liked to show off, but at least he was in front of his younger brother now. At such an awkward moment, as the elder brother, he had to support the situation, so he reluctantly and bravely spoke …
Although this opening speech was a little confusing, it broke the awkward silence after all.
Qu Shunhua reluctantly said, "Yes."
"Qu Shunhua, right?" Jiang Wang asked.
"You know me?" Qu Shunhua raised her eyebrows.
It wasn't hard to guess.
So far, the only girl Zuo Guangshu had mentioned in front of him was Qu Shunhua.
With Little Guangshu's proud and shy temperament, he probably didn't have many good friends with girls. And the girl who could directly break into the young duke's carriage on the street must be extraordinary, whether in terms of relationship or identity.
Except for Qu Shunhua, there was no one else.
Jiang Wang smiled kindly. "Little Guangshu always mentions you to me!"
This sentence seemed to break the distance between them and lighten the atmosphere in the carriage.
A smile bloomed on Qu Shunhua's face. He took the opportunity to sit opposite Jiang Wang and said with a dignified smile, "How did he propose it?"
Once the awkward atmosphere was gone, she sat down. This oval-faced beauty immediately revealed her dignified and noble side.
She did not have stage fright at all. She was generous and appropriate.
"What are you talking about?" Zuo Guangshu asked in a fluster.
Qu Shunhua turned his head. "Don't say anything!"
But then she remembered that Jiang Wang was present. She smiled gently and said, "Let me … have a chat with Big Brother Jiang first."
She had also been to the Riverview Platform to watch the battle, so she naturally recognized the Yellow River Champion. Not to mention, Zuo Guangshu always told her about Jiang Wang …
After thinking about it for a bit, he understood that Jiang Wang had been invited by Zuo Guangshu to help him in the Mountain and Sea Realm. Having seen Jiang Wang fight with her own eyes, she was naturally happy to see this.
But what she cared about the most was how Little Guangshu talked about her behind her back.
Of course, it was a good thing to mention her often, but there was still room for discussion as to how he should mention her.
"He mentioned her so many times that I don't even know where to start." Jiang Wang said without blushing, "One moment he said she was beautiful and generous, the next he said she was extremely talented, the next he said she was rare in the world, and the next he said she was lucky … I've heard so much!"
Qu Shunhua shyly glanced at Zuo Guangshu. "Why aren't you modest when you talk to Big Brother Jiang? You're so annoying! "
Zuo Guangshu's handsome face turned red. He wanted to deny it, but after all, he was still rational … If he denied it now, he would be suspected of courting death.
"I also thought that this child's words were very exaggerated. It didn't seem like he was telling the truth at all. How can there be such a person in the world? " Jiang Wang said sincerely, "After seeing Miss Qu today, I realized that he was already very modest!"
"Well, well …" Qu Shunhua, who was awe-inspiring in front of Zuo Guangshu, lowered her head shyly. "Big Brother Jiang, you're making me embarrassed."
"I have a problem, that is, I can't keep my thoughts to myself." Jiang Wang gave Zuo Guangshu a look that said, "Is your brother good to you?" and then smiled. "Okay, I'll go down and take a walk to enjoy the night view of Ying City. I'll give you two some space to have a good chat! "
"Hey, Big Brother Jiang, don't go." Qu Shunhua hurriedly said, "I don't have anything to do with Guangshu. I'll go after seeing him!"
"Besides …" She said with some embarrassment, "We're not married yet, so we're not a couple. We've only been engaged since we were young … "
Zuo Guangshu's face turned even redder, as if blood was about to drip out.
"You've been engaged since you were young, and you're in love with each other. You're such a good match." Jiang Wang smiled. "It's just a matter of time!"
Qu Shunhua's smile grew brighter. "Big Brother Jiang, you're Guangshu's big brother, so you're my big brother too. If you need anything in Ying City, just look for me!"
She looked back at Zuo Guangshu and said, "You guys take a rest today and let Big Brother Jiang meet his family. Tomorrow, find a time to bring Big Brother Jiang to Yellow Millet Terrace. I'll arrange a welcome banquet … "
She pushed him again. "Did you hear that?"
Only then did Zuo Guangshu say, "Oh."
Qu Shunhua called out to Jiang Wang again. "Big Brother Jiang, come for a drink tomorrow! I'll take my leave now! "
Then she lifted the curtain and left.
She came like a sudden clap of thunder and left like a flash of lightning.
She was different from the gentle and graceful ladies of aristocratic families that Jiang Wang had seen in Linzi, but she had her own romantic charm.
The window was still open. Jiang Wang looked out. Qu Shunhua's carriage was parked next to it. It was as luxurious as Zuo Guangshu's. She lowered her body and got in.
"Ah, what a good girl!"
Jiang Wang praised. He looked at the departing carriage and then at Zuo Guangshu.
He looked at Zuo Guangshu and then at the departing carriage with Qu Shunhua.
Zuo Guangshu blushed and said angrily, "What are you looking at!"
Jiang Wang chuckled but did not say anything else.
The little girl was thin-skinned. If he continued to tease her, she might explode.
…
…
Duke Huai Public House occupied a large area. In Ying City, where every inch of land was worth an inch of gold, just this area alone was enough to show the power of the owner of the house.
A pair of red jade lions stood in front of the door, majestic and noble.
Especially the eyes of the lions, which were overflowing with light, as if they were alive.
When the young duke of Zuo family returned, Duke Huai Public House opened the door directly and the guards lined up to welcome him.
As soon as Jiang Wang got out of the carriage, he saw a beautiful middle-aged woman standing there elegantly.
She was dressed plainly and had a dignified bearing. There was an air of nobility between her eyebrows, but it was not overbearing. Instead, she gave off a very warm and gentle feeling.
Zuo Guangshu got out of the carriage first and said obediently, "Mother, this is Jiang Wang. He's my helper, Brother Jiang Xian, the current champion of the Yellow River!"
Xiong Jingyu turned to look at him.
Jiang Wang bowed first and said, "Junior Jiang Wang greets Princess Royal of Chu!"
He had done his homework in advance and knew that Zuo Guangshu's mother was the sister of the current emperor of Chu. Her title was Princess Royal Yu Yun. This was the most appropriate way to address her.
Looking at the tall and handsome young man with an extraordinary temperament, Xiong Jingyu's eyes were in a trance for a moment.
Her eldest son was also the champion of the Yellow River …
But this absent-mindedness quickly faded away.
Xiong Jingyu said softly, "You and Guangshu are friends, so you can just call me aunt. Thank you for taking care of my Guangshu in the Great Illusionary Land, and now you've come all the way to help him. "
"It's nothing," Jiang Wang said modestly, "In the Great Illusionary Land, Guangshu and I helped each other and grew together. Besides, I also yearned for the Mountain Sea Realm. Receiving an invitation is exactly what I wanted! "
"How are you adapting to the Mountain Sea Purgatory?" Xiong Jingyu asked again.
Jiang Wang glanced at Zuo Guangshu and smiled confidently, "Not bad."
Zuo Guangshu seemed to be very dissatisfied with his mother's question and shouted, "How can the helper I chose be bad?"
But Xiong Jingyu ignored him and only said to Jiang Wang, "That place is too bitter. Auntie is really sorry for implicating you to suffer with me. Rest well in the residence for a few days and save your energy. "
"Guangshu is cultivating with me. It's not hard, aunt." Jiang Wang readily agreed.
Xiong Jingyu said, "Did Guangshu tell you that his grandfather wants to see you?"
"He did." Jiang Wang said, "My husband is a hero. I've admired him for a long time!"
Xiong Jingyu smiled slightly. She had a good impression of this neither servile nor overbearing young man, "Guangshu's grandfather is waiting for you in the study. I'll take you there."
She patted Zuo Guangshu's head, "You wait."
"Why didn't you ask me to be there?" Zuo Guangshu immediately expressed his dissatisfaction, "Is there anything in the Zuo Family that I can't hear?"
"Your grandfather wants to talk to someone. Do you think it's because of you?" Xiong Jingyu turned him around, "Go away, don't get in the way!"
Zuo Guangshu understood that his mother's attitude was irreversible, but he still shouted, "It's okay to talk, but you can't let my grandfather bully people!"
Xiong Jingyu couldn't help but stare at him, "How old is your grandfather? Do you think he's like you children?"
Zuo Guangshu was joking.
Jiang Wang inexplicably felt a little guilty.
Only children want to bully people. Adults want to kill people and rob them …
In front of Duke Huai, if he really had any dissatisfaction, how could his small body bear it?
But after all, he could only follow Xiong Jingyu.
Half a body's length behind, walking in the deep courtyard of Duke Huai's Mansion.
Jiang Wang slowly calmed his slightly nervous mood.
He could probably guess why Duke Huai wanted to see him.
Zuo Guangshu's 《Detailed Explanation of Flame Flower Burning the City》 had already explained a lot.
Just like Master Ku Jue could find him through some kind of connection, for a big shot like Duke Huai, it wouldn't be difficult to catch the fate between him and Zuo Guanglie.
Duke Huai of Great Chu was quite arrogant. It was said that when he was young, he was also a demon. Later, when he was in a high position, he gradually began to cultivate his body and mind.
Of course, he had been famous for a long time. Today, outside of the Chu Country, maybe his notoriety wasn't as widespread as that of the Human Demon.
But people who really knew him naturally wouldn't have such boring thoughts.
Jiang Wang thought about Duke Huai's style of doing things in his heart, weighing his attitude when speaking.
Suddenly, he heard a sentence from the front.
"When he left … was he in pain?"
This voice was too soft, as if it didn't sound.
But it was real, and it appeared in Jiang Wang's ears.
Jiang Wang didn't dare to look at her expression, but he could feel the pain of this question.
This Princess Yu Yun of Great Chu didn't say her name, but Jiang Wang certainly knew … who that "he" was.
Not so painful … was probably a mother's last comfort.
Thinking about it, Jiang Wang said: "Like a sun extinguished. He left very simply, and very brilliantly. "
"Like a sun …" Xiong Jingyu murmured.
She imagined such a gorgeous scene, and finally felt … that it was the ending Guang Lie would choose.
Then she stopped: "The study in front, Guang Shu's grandfather is inside."
"Good. I'll have to trouble Auntie to send me off. "Jiang Wang bowed to her, and then walked forward alone.
The back of this outstanding young man, in a blue robe, was deeply imprinted in the eyes of a mother.
The same head of the Yellow River, the same peerless Tianjiao, the same young and promising person …
But he wasn't him.
Probably because of the Heaven Ascending Immortal Technique, Jiang Wang had a very immortal aura when he walked.
But Zuo Guanglie was brilliant and dazzling.
Xiong Jingyu gently closed her eyes, and vaguely saw the back of that young man in a gorgeous flame robe, but that back didn't look back.
… …
… …
The door of the study was open, and there were no servants waiting on him.
Jiang Wang cautiously walked in, and saw a thin old man sitting behind a desk, writing something with a brush.
While writing, he didn't raise his head and said: "Sit."
Jiang Wang looked around, and then sat on a big chair leaning against the wall. Behind him hung a picture of a hundred birds looking up to a phoenix, and on his right hand side was a tea stool, and on the other side was another chair.
The layout of the whole study could be described as "simple", and there were no superfluous decorations.
Duke Huai didn't mean to deliberately test Jiang Wang's temperament. He quickly put down the brush in his hand, pulled the file that he had just finished to the upper right corner of the desk, and then raised his head to look at him.
After all, a person's name was like a tree's shadow.
Jiang Wang subconsciously shivered, and his butt unconsciously moved half of his body.
"Head of the Yellow River, Jiang Wang, I've been wanting to see you for a long time." Duke Huai opened his mouth with this sentence.
Jiang Wang turned his head, and this time he clearly saw the face of Duke Huai of the Great Chu —
Bright, clean, and elegant, with a few fine lines given by time.
Although he didn't look too old, people could feel that he was an elder.
And his majesty was not obvious.
"It's my honor to be remembered by Duke Huai," Jiang Wang said politely.
His respect for Zuo Xiao was not only because of his identity as Duke Huai of the Great Chu, but also because he was the grandfather of Zuo Guanglie and Zuo Guangshu.
For the elders of friends, they should be treated as elders.
Duke Huai quietly looked at him for a while, and then said: "In fact, I have some questions to ask you, but later I felt that it was unnecessary to ask. In life, no one can avoid regret. I'm no exception. "
He sighed: "Child, I just want to see you now."
