Chapter 842 Expedient measures
"Stop, who dares to trek into the county government?" The police guard at the gate stopped the two of them with a long spear.
"We come from Xianyang and have important letters to the county magistrate Jiang personally!"
"Xianyang...you two follow me!"
Master Xiao turned around and walked into the county government lobby. After muttering in Jiangbeiting's ear, Jiangbeiting looked up at the two strangers who were delivering the letter with a slightly serious expression and said, "I am Jiangbeiting, who is asking you to wait for the letter?"
"Mr. Jiang, the letter is here, you can tell at a glance!" A guard took out a hemp pulp and paper envelope from his arms and handed it over with his hands.
Looking at the several crooked calligraphy words "Jiang County Magistrate Kai Kai" on the envelope, Jiang Beiting shook his hands slightly and then showed a hint of joy on his face and waved his hand and said, "Two messengers follow me!"
There is a yard of more than ten acres behind the county government. The front yard is clearly divided into the back yard. The front yard is about seven or eight acres, and there is a small pond and a martial arts training ground. Because it is summer, the yard is lush and verdant.
A young man in his twenties was practicing swordsmanship in short hexagrams. There were several servants watching next to him, and cheers were heard one after another.
A girl in a long light blue dress sat under the shade of the tree by the pond, with willow eyebrows, phoenix eyes, beautiful cheeks, and extremely beautiful cheeks. She was holding a book in her hand, but her eyes fell on the dense layers of lotus leaves and lotus flowers that were pulling out their bones. She looked at the dragonflies flying in the sun, staring blankly at the movements next to her.
Jiang Beiting strode in, followed by two guards.
"Come here!" Jiang Beiting raised the letter in his hand.
The young man who was practicing swordsman immediately stopped and trotted over with sweat all over his face and said, "Dad, what are you asking for?"
Jiang Beiting pulled his son to a secluded place, opened the envelope and took out a piece of hemp pulp inside and whispered: "Marquis Qinghe has come to Pei County, and I just asked someone to send a letter, asking us to arrange a suitable identity for him without doubt..."
"Dad, why did the Queen Qinghe have so concealed? He is now famous all over the world. Isn't it that the people are swaying in the swaggering way to greet him..." Although Jiang Chuxing was also a little excited, he was full of doubts.
"Don't ask too much. This is the arrangement of the Qinghe Marquis. We will do it. Although Jiang has many relatives in Xianyang, it is a headache to give Qinghe Marquis a suitable identity. You should think about it quickly, otherwise it will be too late!"
"Relative..." Jiang Chuxing pinched his chin and thought for a while, then turned to look at his sister sitting by the pond in a daze.
"No!" Jiang Beiting's face turned black and rejected.
He knew his daughter's thoughts. He had been in Pei County for more than two years. The older his daughter grew, the more handsome she became, but she became more and more taciturn. She was unwilling to marry, so she would draw her sword and commit suicide when she was too anxious. The couple of Jiangbeiting dared not mention the word "blind date". Although the daughter was not very important, she was still her own relatives and could not really force her to die if she didn't marry her.
Jiang Chuxing naturally knew her sister's thoughts. There was only one person she was willing to marry in the world, but that person had already been famous and had a master. Moreover, the identities of the two parties were so different that it made the entire Jiang clan dare not expect to get involved in this relationship.
"Dad, this is the best identity, and it will never cause doubt, and if..."
Jiang Chuxing was still unwilling to give up creating this rare opportunity for his sister. In fact, he knew that even if he just met Chen Xu, his sister might not be so stupid every day. Since leaving Xianyang, Jiang Chuyue's changes made his brother heartbroken, but he couldn't help with anything. He could only watch her silence day by day. Only occasionally seeing some things about Qinghehou in the newspaper will show a little glory in his eyes, but anything except Chen Xu is redundant to her, as if there is no other existence in the world that can make her care about.
"Dad, why are you hesitating? The Queen of Qinghe may have arrived outside the city now, and it is just an external identity. The Queen of Qinghe will not care about it. Moreover, the Queen of Qinghe will not stay in Pei County for long, and she will leave after a few days. This time, the sister will no longer worry about it..." Jiang Chuxing continued to urge.
Jiang Beiting's face shook for a long time and couldn't help but sigh and said, "Okay, go and tell Yue'er about this, it's just a show. Let her cooperate with her and not be too willful. If something goes wrong, I really want to expel her from the house!"
"Dad don't worry, I'll talk to my younger sister now!"
Jiang Chuxing quickly read the letter again, then walked to the shade of the tree by the pond, waved his hand to drive away several nearby maids and servants.
"Three sisters!"
After waiting for a long time, Jiang Chuyue took back his dazed eyes and turned his head to look at Jiang Chuxing. He couldn't see too much emotion on his pretty cheeks. His lips were slightly dry, and there was an indelible loneliness and sorrow deep in his eyes.
"Second brother, what's the matter?" Jiang Chuyue spoke after a long time.
"There is someone you want to meet!" Jiang Chuxing hesitated and said.
"The person I want to meet... could it be Chen..." Jiang Chuyue's lonely eyes suddenly burst out with a radiance that had never been seen before, and she stood up in surprise, and her slender figure suddenly revealed.
"Be careful..." Jiang Chuxing quickly reached out and covered his sister's mouth, nodded seriously and said in a low voice: "It is Qinghe Hou. He needs a concealed identity when he secretly visited Pei County. We just discussed with his father and asked him to pretend to be your fiancé. His identity is the son of a Duke and Marquis' family in Xianyang, called Xu Cheng, but this is just a concealment. Dad reminds you not to act really..."
The book in Jiang Chuyue's hand fell to the ground with a squeak, and tears flowed down her cheeks.
"Second brother, is this true? He...he agreed?" Jiang Chuyue looked at her brother with tears in her face.
"The guard who came to deliver the letter from Qinghe Hou has not left yet, but you need your consent to this matter, and it is not appropriate to go to it. You need to decide immediately whether to do this. If you don't agree, my father and I will think of another solution immediately..."
"Second brother...I...I agree!" Jiang Chuyue nodded vigorously while crying.
"That's good. You should go back to the room to change clothes, wash and clean up, and go to greet Qinghe Hou with me later. Remember, his identity is your fiance, his surname is Xu Mingcheng..."
Jiang Chuxing didn't know if he had just told his sister to listen, because time was really too tight. After briefly speaking, he asked Jiang Chuyue to go back to wash and change clothes. Half an hour later, Jiang Chuxing rode a horse and escorted Jiang Chuyue's carriage out of the city with more than ten servants, and Chen Xu's two guards were also with him.
At the time of Shen, the setting sun shone on the shimmering lake. The fisherman who was returning late was yelling a trolley by the lake and towed the boat ashore. More than ten horses escorted a carriage and slowly came along the post road on the shore of the lake. Peixian County was close at hand, and the two-meter-high rammed earth walls and ancient city towers could be seen clearly.
"Sister, go forward boldly... go forward... don't turn around..."
Combined with the sound of the fisherman's trumpet, Chen Xu, who was riding on the horse, also shouted a rough song, which attracted the attention of the fishermen by the lake and pedestrians on the road. Everyone showed a strong interest in the vulgar song that the boy yelled. The farmers and fishermen carrying farm gear, fishing gear, and the fishermen even happily gave their thumbs up and shouted that the young man was singing well.
"Haha, thank you very much!" Chen Xu rode proudly on the horse and bowed to the farmers and fishermen on the roadside.
Hearing the familiar and unique song of Chen Xu coming from the evening breeze, a guard whispered to Jiang Chuxing: "Young Master Jiang, the marquis is here!"
"It's him... it's him..."
Jiang Chuyue, sitting in the carriage, listened to the familiar song that came vaguely, and instantly recalled the first intimate contact that had been recalled thousands of times in her heart.
It was also on that day that he was beaten up with his butt, and then he sang this song.
And a few years later, the song was like a devil who drove away in her heart.
He met him first, but he married Shui, princess, and Meng Wan...
He has married so many women, I wonder if he has ever thought of me...
The tears that could not be suppressed continued to fall along her fair cheeks. At the moment when the song came, she felt that she could no longer suppress the longing that was pressed in her heart, and she wanted to be hugged tightly in her arms, and from then on, she would never stop.
"Little sister, my son-in-law is coming soon!" Jiang Chuxing lifted the curtain to remind him, but found that his sister looked full of tears again, so he couldn't help but whisper: "Little sister, after this time, I hope you can really forget the marquis, and then find a husband to marry and live a peaceful and ordinary life. I finally persuaded my father to agree to this matter!"
"Don't worry, brother, I know what to do!" Jiang Chuyue nodded and slowly wiped away her tears. After waiting for a while, she pushed open the door and got out of the car. The light blue silk skirt blew in the evening breeze, and when she pressed against her slim body, she looked full of the beauty and temptation of a young girl.
Soon, a group of people kicked and stomped slowly from the shaking reeds. A young man in green clothes rode his horse in front, smiling and expressing his expression. The fields behind him were green, and the lake was shining, reflecting the afterglow of the sunset, like a lake of steaming flames, looking like floating from an unknown world.
"Hell~" Jiang Chuxing met with a horse's belly.
"Hey, Brother Jiang is also in Pei County. It seems that there is no need to find another guide these days!" Chen Xu rode on the horse happily and bowed to say hello.
"Chu Xing has seen his sister-in-law!" Jiang Chuxing quickly bowed and returned the gift.
Chen Xu almost fell from the horse's back and pulled the horse's reins and looked at Jiang Chuxing with horror: "Brother Jiang, don't joke around, when will I become your sister-in-law?"
Jiang Chuxing quickly rode his horse and walked with Chen Xu, and at the same time put his head in Chen Xu's ear and explained in a low voice.
Chen Xu looked at Jiang Chuxing with a black head, and smiled bitterly for a few times, "Brother Jiang is causing trouble for me? Your sister is like seeing an enemy when she sees me. Moreover, once this matter is spread, it will not be good for Miss Chu Yue..."
"The Marquis is so serious. This is just a temporary solution. The Marquis does not live in Pei County. When the Marquis leaves, no one will ask about it again. The sister-in-law also agreed to such an arrangement so as not to be suspicious."
Chen Xu looked up at a beautiful woman who seemed familiar but strange and stood by the carriage dozens of feet away. He couldn't help but ripples in his heart.
Three years have passed in a blink of an eye, and the willful girl that day has now become a graceful girl.
It’s a pity that such a beautiful girl has never been married. She seems to have a jade pendant she has worn, but she doesn’t know where she has left it now.
Chen Xu had slowly walked to the city gate with a random thought.
"Chu Yue pays homage to Xu Lang!" Jiang Chuyue bowed under him.
"We'll welcome my son-in-law!" A group of servants from the Jiang Mansion bowed together.
Chen Xu rode on the horse and glanced at Jiang Chuyue who suddenly became gentle and gentle, turned over and jumped off the horse's back and helped Jiang Chuyue up and said, "Don't use too much politeness, please wait for Sanniang for a long time. We came from Xianyang, so let's go to the city first!"
Jiang Chuyue was gently helped by Chen Xu, and her body trembled involuntarily, and her head turned blank in an instant.
