While waiting for Wen Xiao to wash up, Jiang Miao stood in the courtyard and looked up at the laurel tree with luxuriant branches.

When Jiang Miao heard that the sound of water inside had stopped, she was about to step forward, but she didn't want to hear such a sentence.

Jiang Miao was taken aback for a moment, then said softly:

"Then you stay here later, and I will fetch it for you."

"...But, the clothes on the carriage have not been washed yet."

Wen Xiao said in a low voice, her face was flushed, and she was about to cry out of anxiety while sitting in the bathtub. What is the difference between her saying this and seduction?

But Jiang Miao didn't think about anything else, she just remained silent for a while, and then said:

"I don't have much time to stay here, but I also have a few changes of clothes, but it takes a long time, do you mind..."

"I do not mind!"

Wen Xiao said something quickly, and then wanted to bite off his tongue in annoyance.

There is a folk saying: "If you can wear a pair of trousers if you are good", it is enough to show that you have a deep relationship, but I want to wear adult clothes today, but I have treated adults like that before.

"My lord, woo, I..."

Wen Xiao wanted to say something, but she didn't want to hear only the sound of footsteps that were fading away. She huddled herself in the bathtub, slid her fingers across the water, and bit her lower lip tightly.

If I still associate with adults with the idea that I can have a good time with them before, then I can barely maintain my heart.

But after discovering her true thoughts, she didn't know how to treat the adults. She always felt that if she was too casual, she would despise the adults.

Wen Xiao was sitting in the bathtub, feeling that the water was a bit cold, and was about to stand up, when there was a knock on the door outside, scaring her back to sit down again.

"I brought the clothes, do you want me to bring them in for you?"

There are no maids in the mansion, only Jiang Miao and Lin Shu, Lin Shu just went to the group room to rest after sweeping the yard.

At this moment, Jiang Miao is the only one who can bring the clothes in.

Wen Xiao rested her fingers on the edge of the tub, clenched tightly, her nails were a little white, she stared straight at the water, hesitating in her heart.

Although I know that the adult and I are both women, but if I think about meeting the adult frankly for a while, I will feel awkward in my heart.

Seemingly aware of Wen Xiao's thoughts, Jiang Miao knocked on the door again, then said with a light smile:

"I didn't bring it in for you, so why don't you come out and get it yourself?

Besides, when I was bathing in the lake, you had never seen it before, and for the sake of fairness, it should be you and me..."

"Okay! My lord, don't say any more! My lord, my lord, just bring it in!"

Wen Xiao called out loudly, then quickly covered his mouth, and sank himself into the water.

That time when the adults were bathing in the lake, she didn't intend to watch it, but she was called so ambiguous by the adults, as if, as if she was a lustful girl.

"Then I'm in."

Jiang Miao naturally heard Wen Xiao's anger from embarrassment, and then she gently pushed the door and walked in.

The bathroom in the mansion was completely made with modern decoration, and it was the layout drawn by Jiang Miao in her leisure time at the border.

Later, Jiang Miao came back once or twice by chance, and thought it was quite useful.

Push the door open and enter, the bathtub inside is covered by a layer of light gauze, and the gauze hanging here is a one-inch moon shadow gauze, which looks vague and hazy from here.

And Wen Xiao was embarrassingly burying himself in the water right now, leaving only the back of his head with loose black hair for Jiang Miao to see.

From the moment Wen Xiao heard the door being pushed open with a creak, his heart was directly raised in his throat. Next, is the adult going to directly bring in the clothes as she said?

Then, should I raise my head? If I raise my head, won't I be seen by adults?

Wen Xiao bit her lip tangled, but couldn't help letting out a little breath, so that a few bubbles floated on the surface of the water.

Wen Xiao was suffering in his heart at the moment, thinking wildly, but he didn't want Jiang Miao to be in no hurry to act because she was already on her own territory.

Jiang Miao just put the tray with clothes on the ground first, then turned around and went out to close the door.

"I was joking with you just now, it's really timid."

After hearing this, Wen Xiao jumped out of the water, staring at the tightly closed door with a pair of beautiful eyes.

That angry gaze seemed to be burning through the door.

My lord is so wicked!

So bullying!

Wen Xiao angrily changed into her clothes. Jiang Miao thought about the appropriate clothes inside, but she lacked the bellyband which is the most suitable for women.

However, thinking about the status of an adult, Wen Xiao felt relieved.

After all, as an adult, it would be bad if people saw him wearing a bellyband, not to mention she had seen the equipment that an adult was wearing...

Thinking about it this way, Wen Xiao's mind resurfaced the question that he had thought in his mind at the beginning:

An adult is so big, but restrained so hard, isn't he really afraid of being out of breath?

But if I really asked, my lord would kill me to silence me, right?

Wen Xiao pouted his lips and thought wildly in his mind. After dressing himself, he pushed the door and went out, while Jiang Miao was standing under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree watching the ants move.

"grown ups."

Wen Xiao's anger dissipated instantly the moment he saw the red figure again.

"Have you finished your bath?"

Jiang Miao looked up, then froze in place.

Jiang Miao only loves red, so most of her clothes are red in public, and the clothes Wen Xiao just showed were her own two years ago.

But it was a little smaller compared to myself now, but it was just right for Wen Xiao to put it on.

Wen Xiao was born delicate and charming, so she only dresses elegantly on weekdays. Even if she has an unparalleled beauty, it only makes people feel glamorous, and there is also a faint plum-like arrogance that makes people dare not climb high.

But at this moment, she put on the same red dress as Jiang Miao, making that already beautiful face even more beautiful, like a blooming, bright and splendid flower.

In this narrow three-entry courtyard, it is as dazzling as a moon and a pearl, which truly corresponds to what Jiang Miao said before, the bright moon in the heart, the pearl in the palm, it is not an exaggeration to cherish it more than life.

Jiang Miao let out a breath slowly, with a smile in her eyes, then walked towards Wen Xiao:

"I never thought that you would be so suitable for red, it's extremely beautiful."

What Jiang Miao said was the truth, but Wen Xiao's ears couldn't help but blush. Sir, are you implying something?

Wen Xiao couldn't help lowering her head, not daring to speak, just now the red figure under the osmanthus tree really surprised her eyes, that straight figure was like a sword that could break through the sky and cut through the sky, it was daunting, but I couldn't help trembling in my heart.

Wen Xiao couldn't help covering his chest lightly to cover himself, just now the agitation in his chest.

At this moment, I was wearing an adult's old clothes. Although I had never had the scent that fascinated me, the slight smell of saponins still made people blush.

"Big, my lord was joking."

Wen Xiao blushed and dripped blood, his ears trembled slightly, and said in a low voice.

Jiang Miao naturally saw that Wen Xiao was shy, and she couldn't help raising her eyebrows slightly, but she never thought that the child would be so shy so easily.

"No kidding, you look really beautiful in red."

Jiang Miao spoke seriously, but the scene when she first met the child in this life appeared in her mind.

At that time, the child was wearing a bright red wedding dress and a phoenix crown, sitting in the sedan chair. When the bandit's head fell to the ground, she didn't even bat an eyelid.

Even at that juncture, she could calmly wipe away the drop of blood from her eyelids.

In fact, from that moment on, Jiang Miao asserted that this woman was extraordinary, but she didn't want to go around, she turned out to be the person he had been looking for.

But at that time, I only had the idea of ​​looking for the child in my heart, so I didn't think about the scene that surprised the eyeballs that day. Now that I think about it carefully, Jiang Miao can't help feeling regretful, regretting that the original self didn't look more often.

However, there is still a chance, the wedding dresses worn by the children at that time, and she, sooner or later, will let the children marry themselves with beautiful red makeup.

Wen Xiao raised his eyes and Jiang Miao looked at each other, they stared for a long time, but in the end it was Wen Xiao who looked away in embarrassment.

It's not that she doubts the authenticity of the adults' words, it's just that the adults' praise really makes people feel shy.

Jiang Miao simply didn't hold on to this matter, and after Wen Xiao finished washing, she asked Uncle Lin to ask a nearby restaurant to deliver a table of meals.

While waiting, Cui Ming and his party also arrived.

Jiang Miao took Wen Xiao to order her dowry and betrothal gifts. Cui Ming and the others did not come to the inner courtyard, but put the things in the front yard, so when Jiang Miao and Wen Xiao passed by, a group of people were already there Sit there and lean on it.

Today's Jiang Miao did not care about their slack.

Jiang Miao walked up to a few Xi Teng with a warm smile and asked someone to open the lid.

Although the Huaihou Mansion is very perfunctory, there are still a lot of gold and silver items, antique calligraphy and paintings in the five boxes.

It would be enough to spend some money, but Wen Xiao didn't even look at it. Instead, he opened a box that was not too full, and there was a small box inside. He hugged him.

"This is something my father left for me before she left. She said that it contains my mother's belongings and the dowry she prepared for me earlier, but it can only be opened after I get married."

Wen Xiao talked to Jiang Miao in a soft voice, and she paused after she finished speaking, she didn't know why she had to explain like an adult.

Jiang Miao did not notice the strangeness of Wen Xiao, but instead looked at the rest of the boxes:

"Then how do you deal with these betrothal gifts? Huaihou Mansion's inconsistency is the interest I collected for you. You can spend it with peace of mind, and I will take care of the rest for you."

Wen Xiao frowned subconsciously when he heard this, and glanced at the betrothal gifts in disgust:

"I'm afraid I'll get my hands dirty when I use their stuff, so I don't want it! Give it to your lord!"

Jiang Miao was a little dumbfounded:

"This is a dowry gift from the Huaihou Mansion. Although I have asked for it now as the interest for them to bully you, isn't it a little bad for you to give it to me?"

Wen Xiao felt a little awkward when she heard Jiang Miao's words. She thought about it and said:

"Since that's the case, all these things will be exchanged for gold and silver. Now that wars are raging, these gold and silver can be used as military expenses for your lord. It can be regarded as a good thing that Huaihou Mansion has done to benefit the people."

"Why put gold on their faces? You are obviously kind."

Jiang Miaoru said without any objection.

After all, although she begged for the things from the Huaihou Mansion for the child, she also felt uncomfortable when she thought that there were so many things from the Huaihou Mansion around the child.

The left and right children gave these things to themselves as military expenses, and it would be good if they gave her more when the time came.

"Didn't you hear what the girl said? It's not too late to deal with it."

After Cui Ming and the others waited for the order, they immediately arranged it in an orderly manner, which seemed to be very skillful.

It's just that Cui Ming ordered people to arrange to dispose of the things and sell them, but he winked at Jiang Miao:

"I can't see it, General! I said, why did you protect Miss Wen so much before? It turns out that you have already treated Miss Wen on our way..."

No wonder the lord was able to give such an important bamboo whistle to Miss Wen at that time. It turned out that he had fallen in love with her a long time ago!

Hey, that's what's wrong with Maotou Xiaozi, he's not stable at all, he just gave away the most important treasure in his hands.

Jiang Miao frowned when she heard the words, and glared at Cui Ming:

"Don't talk nonsense!"

After hearing this, Wen Xiao frowned and smiled once in his eyes.

"My lord, Master Cui and the others are also tired all the way, let them eat and rest first."

With Wen Xiao's interruption, Jiang Miao stopped admonishing Cui Ming:

"Okay, I've had a hard time traveling the past few days. I've already asked people to book a banquet at Qingyue Tower. You can take them there!"

"okay!"

Cui Ming originally thought that he would not be able to run away after scolding today, but he did not expect that the lord would listen to Miss Wen like this, and immediately responded loudly, and before leaving, he even gave Jiang Miao a wink.

At that time, Jiang Miao was so angry that she directly grabbed a leaf from the osmanthus tree and flew towards it, brushed past Cui Ming's ear like a knife, and nailed it straight to stop it, Cui Ming was scared and ran away.

"They are soldiers who are good at talking, you, don't take it to heart."

"Don't worry, my lord, I won't blame Master Cui."

There is even a trace of joy in my heart, even Lord Cui said that, does that mean that the adult also likes me?

Wen Xiao and Jiang Miao had dinner in the flower hall. The weather in summer looked like a child's face. It didn't take long before the sky became overcast, and then there were bursts of muffled thunder.

"Just now I saw the ants moving, so I knew it was going to rain."

Looking at the gloomy sky outside, Wen Xiao smiled palely and stiffly.

"Yes, yes, summer is always rainy..."

Having said that, Wen Xiao put down his chopsticks and stopped moving. Seeing that Wen Xiao was not going to eat any more, Jiang Miao speeded up and delivered a few mouthfuls of rice, and sent the food on the table into the in the mouth.

But although Jiang Miao was fast, she was not in a panic, she seemed to be eating well.

Seeing Jiang Miao's delicious food, Wen Xiao subconsciously salivated, and just when she was about to take two more bites, there was a loud thunder outside, accompanied by a flash of lightning, which brightened Wen Xiao's pale complexion.

After Jiang Miao finished her meal, she looked up and found that Wen Xiao's expression was not right. She thought she was cold, so she poured a pot of hot tea for her.

"Is it cold? Drink some hot tea to warm up your body."

Wen Xiao slowly responded, but fortunately, the terrifying thunderclap was only for a moment, and after that, Wen Xiao gradually calmed down.

And at this time, it was not too early.

I don't know if it's because of the rain, but today's evening is extraordinarily dark, usually at this time you can faintly see the road ahead, but today it is not, so Jiang Miao took the lamp and sent Wen Xiao to the East Wing .

"The things here are all cleaned up by me in the past two days, and the quilt is also freshly dried. You are tired from the journey these two days, so go to bed early."

"My lord, my lord will soon return to the Marquis Mansion when the rainstorm is coming soon?"

Leaning against the door frame, Wen Xiao asked Jiang Miao with lowered eyes, but couldn't help clenching her hands in her sleeves.

Jiang Miao didn't know what Wen Xiao meant, but she was also afraid that the child would be uneasy when the child arrived for the first time today, so she shook her head:

"Today I won't go back to the Marquis Mansion, I will live in the main house, if you need anything, just come to me."

"Oh, good, good..."

Wen Xiao wrung her fingers and said nah na.

Seeing that the child did not intend to continue talking to her, Jiang Miao turned around and walked towards the main room without stopping.

Thinking of all the tossing and tossing today, the child is also tired.

After Wen Xiao waited for Jiang Miao to leave, she looked straight at Jiang Miao's back, and when the door of the main room closed, she pursed her lips and closed the door.

Wen Xiao was lying on the bed. The quilt was made of pure cotton, fluffy and soft, and smelled like sunshine. It was extremely comfortable to cover.

The window on the side was half-opened. Wen Xiao leaned against the bed and looked up. Even though the oil lamp was already lit inside the room, it was still dark outside.

Suddenly, there was thunder, accompanied by a bolt of lightning, and there was a bang, which made Wen Xiao sit up straight from the bed in fright.

Then, the dark sky crackled with heavy rain.Let Wen Xiao stare blankly.

Wen Xiao is afraid of thunder.

Dad died on such a...day of lightning, thunder, and heavy rain.

At that moment on the Thunder Hall, Dad was still looking at him, and then he swallowed his breath.

Wen Xiao shrank himself into the quilt, wrapped it tightly, even buried his head in it, but even so, he couldn't cover the thunder in his ears.

When I was in the theatrical troupe, everyone crowded into one room in threes and fives, so even though there was thunder and lightning, even though Wen Xiao was timid, when he thought of having someone by his side, he wasn't so scared anymore.

But not here.

None of them.

Wen Xiao hesitated on the spot for a long time, and then when another loud thunder sounded, he got up from the bed tremblingly, put on the embroidered shoes, and ran directly to the main room without even holding an umbrella.

Jiang Miao didn't save her right now, instead, she bent over the desk, picked up the military book and studied it carefully, no matter which world she was in, she never stopped her pace of learning.

Although I have special means in certain things, if I don't learn, I will make no progress in the future, and sooner or later there will be a day of failure.

She is not afraid of failure, but she cannot fail.

There was lightning and thunder outside, but inside the house Jiang Miao read with an oil lamp as if she couldn't hear it, and felt peaceful.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk-"

And at this moment, there was a hasty knock on the door.

Uncle Lin usually wouldn't come here at this time, and there was only one person who could find him at this moment. Jiang Miao quickly put down the book of war in her hand, walked over quickly, and opened the door.

Outside the door, Wen Xiao's hair was still covered with a layer of moisture. She didn't even wear a coat, only a light undershirt. She was wet and stood outside the door with a pale face.

Jiang Miao looked at Wen Xiao, and saw that her eyes were full of panic, her bright red lips had also turned pale, and the embroidered shoes on her feet had been stepped on by muddy water, which looked extremely muddy.

"What happened? It's cold outside, you, do you want to come in?"

Jiang Miao hesitated to send out the invitation, but she didn't dare to let the child in directly, she was afraid of scaring people away.

But Wen Xiao was not afraid. Hearing what Wen Xiao said, he got into the house directly.

Jiang Miao was stunned on the spot, thinking that the child who was quite alienated from her before would be delivered directly to her door, and she didn't know why.

But although she was puzzled, Jiang Miao didn't say much, she just closed the door and turned around to look.

Seeing Wen Xiao, the water was dripping on her body at this moment, and she stood there without saying a word.

Jiang Miao has always been very patient with Wen Xiao, but when she saw Wen Xiao's appearance, she immediately felt distressed, and quickly went to the cabinet to find a set of underwear she had worn before.

"What's the matter? Come here in such a hurry, it's raining so hard outside, how wet are your clothes?"

Jiang Miao couldn't help muttering, and then took another dry towel over:

"It's already late, there's no hot water in the room, you should dry off the water first and change your clothes."

Wen Xiao stiffly took the dry towel from Jiang Miao's hand, and then she froze on the spot as if struck by lightning.

She didn't know what kind of demon she was. Although she was afraid of thunder, there was no reason to go into someone's room at night.

Seeing Wen Xiao not moving, Jiang Miao couldn't help but shook her head with a low smile, the child was shy.

"Don't be afraid, I just don't look at you. I'll turn around, you change your clothes first, or you'll get a cold if you're careful."

Jiang Miao said yes, then turned around and went directly to the window.

After finally arriving at a popular house, Wen Xiao also breathed a sigh of relief, and prepared to change out of his drenched underwear.

But unexpectedly, there was another loud thunder outside the door, Wen Xiao trembled in fright, the dry towel in his hand fell to the ground, he rushed over and hugged Jiang Miao with hands and feet.

But at this moment, Wen Xiao's voice trembled directly, out of shape, and tears welled up in his eyes in panic:

"Big, my lord! I'm afraid! Woohoo, I'm afraid!"

Jiang Miao never thought that the fearless child who was once favored by her would be afraid of a little thunder in this life.

At this moment, the child's delicate and slightly warm body.She nestled directly in her arms, her underwear was already soaked, even Jiang Miao's was a little wet, their bodies were tightly pressed together, Wen Xiao was terrified, and held Jiang Miao Hold tight.

Jiang Miao sighed helplessly, then stretched out her hand to grab the child, and directly hugged the child into her arms, walked over, picked up a dry towel, and slowly wiped it for Wen Xiao:

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

There are not many words, but it makes people feel at ease.

Wen Xiao curled up obediently in Jiang Miao's arms, letting Jiang Miao dry the water droplets on her black hair.

Soon Jiang Miao dried Wen Xiao's hair, and then she let go of Wen Xiao.

"Listen to me, you have to change your clothes now, otherwise if you wear wet clothes for a long time, you will definitely get a wind chill when the cold air enters your body."

Wen Xiao was suddenly stripped away from Jiang Miao's warm embrace, and immediately wanted to shake his head in repulsion to refuse.

"Be obedient, or do you want me to take it off for you?"
