I trade my property for my wife

After returning the gift, Wen Linglong said: "Well, today is the right time. Tonight there will be a dance banquet to entertain the nobles from the capital. You wait here first, and I will call Mr. Yi." tea, and went out.

Every time Jiang Xingchen came here, he would look for Wen Linglong first, because he had a good appearance and attracted girls.Treat people politely, behave decently without being frivolous, Wen Linglong noticed.Jiang Xingchen knew a thing or two about music theory, and after chatting back and forth a few times, he knew that she was here to find friends, so he got acquainted and made friends.

After a while, Wen Linglong came back with a man in his thirties behind him.The man was wearing a brocade robe with creeper patterns, handsome and bright eyes under his brows, and a tall and elegant figure. He was a man of literary talent at first glance.

Seeing the man coming in, Jiang Xingchen got up and walked over quickly, bowed and said, "Hello, sir." The gentleman nodded and saw that there was someone more in the room, and asked Jiang Xingchen with his eyes.Jiang Xingchen repeated the introduction just now, then turned around and said softly to Xiao Jingyin: "This is Mr. Yi Xiangzhao, my art of war teacher."

After examining Yi Xiangzhao, Xiao Jingyin said in a soft voice, "People in the deep forest don't know, but the bright moon comes to take pictures, sir, a good name."

Yi Xiangzhao was also like Wen Linglong, when he heard Xiao Jingyin's voice, he looked at Xiao Jingyin a few more times and said, "Mr. Jing is too much."

Jiang Xingchen coughed lightly to break the delicate atmosphere and said to Wen Linglong: "My cousin was rushed by me this morning, and he didn't have time to have breakfast when he came here, so please trouble Miss Wen to order some food for my cousin to eat." belly."

Wen Linglong understood and withdrew, and food was ordered after a while.There were multiple suites inside the room, which were divided into two rooms. After Xiao Jingyin was arranged, Jiang Xingchen and Yi Xiangzhao went to one of the inner rooms.

By the time Jiang Xingchen felt hungry, it was already noon.The grunt had already reminded her many times, but she didn't pay attention.When I came out, I felt hungry.After leaving the room, Xiao Jingyin was nowhere to be seen, and even Qin Ling was not there, so Jiang Xingchen left the room.

Hearing the melodious and slow sound of the piano not far away, when I first heard it, I felt that I was beside the gurgling water of the mountain stream.After listening to it carefully, I feel that the affection in the song collides with my heart a little bit, which makes people feel comfortable but also a little sad.

Looking for the sound of the piano, I saw Xiao Jingyin's figure at the pavilion in the courtyard.She was originally fair and charming, but at this time she was wearing a jade crown and a white brocade robe surrounded by golden silk, which made her temperament even more graceful and elegant, which made people want to take a few more glances.Jiang Xingchen stood upright on the spot and did not step forward. While enjoying the sound of nature, he wanted to see more of the beauty who played such a fairy music.

Xiao Jingyin looked up at where Jiang Xingchen was, thinking she was aware of it. Jiang Xingchen was standing under the shade of a tree in a blue brocade robe.As the breeze blew the branches and trembled, the figure that should have been covered by the greenery was exposed to the sun, appearing and disappearing from time to time, extremely dazzling.

The two looked at each other for a moment, and smiled at each other.Before Xiao Jingyin got up, Jiang Xingchen walked over slowly, stared at him for a few moments, and said with a smile, "It's really time for it to come out. Such a heavenly voice will feast Xingchen's ears."

Xiao Jingyin was stunned for a moment when he heard Jiang Xingchen's praise, then he got up and said with a slightly cautious face: "Your brother Miao praises you." He raised his eyes to meet Jiang Xingchen's undisguised admiration.

When the two looked at each other, Wen Linglong who was beside her smiled lightly and said, "Both of you have the best piano skills I've ever heard."

Jiang Xingchen smiled modestly: "How dare Xingchen's crude skills be compared with the two of you."

Xiao Jingyin raised her eyebrows and said: "I have never heard the sound of my virtuous brother's piano, if I have a chance, I would like to ask for advice."

After exchanging pleasantries and compliments, the few of them went back to the room.After lunch, Jiang Xingchen and Yi Xiangzhao entered the inner room again, and Xiao Jingyin looked at the furnishings in the room boredly.Qin Ling was also by his side, and Jiang Xingchen had told Qin Ling not to leave Xiao Jingyin at every step. Although Xiao Jingyin's martial arts were also good, this was a romantic place after all, and nothing could go wrong.

Seeing that Xiao Jingyin was bored sitting, Wen Linglong invited, "Young master Jing is so good at playing the piano, if you don't mind, why don't you come with me to the front hall to teach you a lesson or two?"

Xiao Jingyin wanted to refuse, but Wen Linglong said again: "Mr. Jiang once presented a high-quality guqin to Deyilou, Mr. Jing, don't you want to appreciate it?"

Xiao Jingyin loved music, especially the Guqin, so she agreed after being attracted by Wen Linglong.Although Qin Ling felt something was wrong, he followed Xiao Jingyin to the front hall without making a sound to stop it.

Jiang Xingchen stayed in the inner room for several more hours, and when he left the room, the lights outside were already brightly lit.He couldn't find Xiao Jingyin when he went to the courtyard, so he couldn't help feeling a little worried.While thinking about it, the girl Qiu Rou met in the front hall came to look for Jiang Xingchen, saw Jiang Xingchen's worried face, and said: "Sister asked me to inform Young Master Jiang, she and Young Master Jing are playing the piano in the front hall, if Jiang Xingchen When the young master is free, he will go to the front hall to look for them."

Jiang Xingchen bowed and said, "I've troubled Miss Qiurou to lead the way."

Jiang Xingchen followed Miss Qiurou to the front hall, and saw Xiao Jingyin standing beside Wen Linglong on the second floor.Listening to the music, he squinted his eyes slightly as if intoxicated, leaned on the railing to listen, and tapped his fingers with the music from time to time, looking very comfortable.

In the hall, the singing and dancing area is surrounded by a crowd of people watching.Jiang Xingchen thought of Wen Linglong saying that there would be nobles from the capital tonight, so he looked up and looked around, only to find that there were people sitting on chairs on the second floor to watch.However, one of them didn't look at the dancer downstairs, looking for that person's gaze, it happened to be Xiao Jingyin's position.

Jiang Xingchen frowned, thinking that the person from the capital, could it be that this person recognized the princess?Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated to walk up to the stairs, but before reaching the second floor, he heard a man screaming.

Jiang Xingchen walked up quickly, and saw a fat and greasy man lying beside Xiao Jingyin.The man was pinned to the ground because his palm was pierced by a sword, and he couldn't get up.There was a young man beside him. Seeing Jiang Xingchen approaching, Xiao Jingyin immediately moved to her side.

Jiang Xingchen also shielded Xiao Jingyin behind him without any trace. After Jiang Xingchen figured it out, he realized that the man on the ground wanted to take advantage of Xiao Jingyin when she went upstairs just now. Come over, pierced the sword through the man's palm and set it on the ground.

Although this brothel is dominated by female prostitutes, there are also some people who like masculinity, or those who cater to both sexes, and there are also male prostitutes in Deyilou.When the man on the ground saw Xiao Jingyin's handsome face and beautiful figure, he became lustful.Unexpectedly, the palm of his hand was pierced and fixed on the ground before he touched it.

Xiao Jingyin frowned, showing displeasure, and stood behind Jiang Xingchen.The young man looked at them with a frown. Although Jiang Xingchen had doubts that this person was too vicious, he still said politely: "Thank you, brother, for your help just now. Tonight's drink will be included in my account. It is a thank you." Grace, in the future..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard the young man refuse in a cold voice: "No need." After casting a glance at Jiang Xingchen, he said, "Are you Jiang Xingchen?"

Jiang Xingchen was surprised when he heard this person calling his name directly, and then glanced at Xiao Jingyin.Xiao Jingyin's face was as cold as ice in the cellar at this time, Jiang Xingchen thought, do they know each other?

Seeing Xiao Jingyin's displeasure, Jiang Xingchen's tone lost his previous politeness, and he said calmly, "Yes, brother knows me?"

The young man said again: "I will go to your house tomorrow." He was speaking to Jiang Xingchen, but his eyes were fixed on Xiao Jingyin.

Jiang Xingchen saw that this person looked so arrogant, but he really helped them just now. Although he was displeased at this moment, he still asked politely: "I don't know which son is Xiongtai?"

The young man said: "Liu Haogan in the residence of General Liu in the capital."

General Liu Yongnian was stationed at the border all the year round. Although he didn't have much military exploits, he was loyal to Xiao Guo. Later, because of his advanced age, Xiao Huang gave him a mansion to return to the capital to retire.

Liu Haoqian is the only male of Liu Yong's grandchildren. He heard that he went to the border a few years ago and contributed a lot to the war in the Eastern Region.He was named a general, and now that the war has stabilized, he should have come back to visit his relatives, but Jiang Xingchen was a little puzzled by appearing here.

The Jiang family has nothing to do with the officials, let alone the army. I don't know why he wanted to visit, but seeing him staring at Xiao Jingyin and telling his name directly, the two must know each other, and They came for Xiao Jingyin.

Jiang Xingchen looked sideways at Xiao Jingyin, but Xiao Jingyin still frowned and remained silent.

Jiang Xingchen said in a deep voice without humility: "It turns out that it is General Liu's family, General Liu. Jiang has been rude, and he will be waiting for you tomorrow."

Liu Haogan just said: "En." He drew his sword and left, his eyes were still on Xiao Jingyin when he turned around.

After Jiang Xingchen stared at Liu Haoqian's leaving figure, he looked down at the greasy man lying on the ground crying and said coldly to Qin Ling: "Ask where the things belong to, and send them back to take care of them."

Although Jiang Xingchen was kind, but he took care of his insiders. This person committed the crime of Xiao Jingyin, who she valued very much. What would happen to him? The family's business might not be able to continue here.

On the way back with Jiang Xingchen and Xiao Jingyin, Xiao Jingyin remained silent.Although his face was not as cold as before, but he looked extremely bored. He seemed to be reminded of something from the past, which made Jiang Xingchen unavoidably worried, and asked softly, "The princess knows Liu Haogan?"

Hearing Jiang Xingchen's voice, Xiao Jingyin raised his head and lowered his eyes, nodded slowly, "I know."

Jiang Xingchen knew in his heart that Liu Haoqian must have recognized Xiao Jingyin before he knew himself.At that time, Xiao Jingyin's identity was not exposed, and Xiao Jingyin did not show any surprise when he went to the brothel in men's clothing.

It's just that this person's attitude towards Jiang Xingchen was arrogant and unkind, but towards Xiao Jingyin...that kind of look reminded Jiang Xingchen of Xiao Jingyin's expression when he made an appointment with him before marriage.Could this be the person the princess liked before?What's the matter with him appearing here?Why did the princess look like she didn't want to pay attention to Liu Haogan?

Back in Jiang's residence, Xiao Jingyin excused herself from being unwell and did not have dinner with Jiang Xingchen, and went back to her bedroom by herself.Jiang Xingchen became more certain of his previous guess.

In the middle of the night, after Jiang Xingchen sorted out the content of the art of war he had learned today, he got up and went back to the bedroom. He saw Xiao Jingyin sitting on a chair, reading an unknown book in his hand, but the paper remained on the first page without flipping. one page.

Jiang Xingchen coughed lightly, and said softly: "The princess was surprised today. It's my fault. I don't have to go tomorrow. Master has something urgent to go back to the Eastern Region." Then he said, "It's late at night, go to bed and rest. , Tomorrow Liu Shen will be a guest at the residence."

Xiao Jingyin raised her eyes to look at Jiang Xingchen when she coughed lightly, and heard her say that Liu Haogan would come tomorrow, subconsciously frowned, bowed her head for a moment, and said: "I won't be gone tomorrow, just say I'm unwell .”

When Jiang Xingchen heard Xiao Jingyin say this, he didn't ask any further questions, and still said softly, "Okay."

Jiang Xingchen lay on the small bed, wondering if Xiao Jingyin really didn't want to see him or was it because he couldn't see him?If the two are still in love... Thinking of this, Jiang Xingchen felt inexplicably uncomfortable, the inner clamor filled his ears, making it difficult to fall asleep.

She turned over a few times to comfort herself, the princess didn't give Liu Hao a good face, so she didn't like it at all.After hinting like this, he fell asleep in a daze.
