Chapter 12 He came to invite her
Zhu Yuyan still remembers that this woman was surnamed Dong, and she has been following Xiao Jingyong to manage common affairs. Xiao Jingyong treats her very respectful and calls her "Grandma Dong".
This person is short, capable, and is particularly cheerful and neat. After she came in, she glanced at Zhu Yuyan quickly and saluted, "When my son Yan Yuan was in Beijing, the girl's sister was the fourth sister of my son, who was very caring about her. Who would have thought that she would have the chance to go all the way to Shangjing. Only then did the young master catch a river catfish and ask someone to cook it. She asked the girl and the third girl to go over for a meal."
Zhu Yuyan felt quite uncomfortable. Everyone had selfish intentions. If she was invited to come alone, she would be secretly happy and would inevitably have some hope, even if this hope was like a dream or a bubble. However, if Xiao Jingyong invited Zhu Yuyi again, even if they were a couple in their previous life, they would still be husband and wife.
The light in Zhu Yuyan's eyes soon disappeared again. She curled her lips slightly and was about to decline, but Zhu Yuyi jumped out and shouted sweetly, "Sister" and said, "Since it is Brother Xiao who invited us over, if it doesn't go over, will the eldest sister say that? After going to Shangjing, it will be a family in the future!"
Grandma Dong's eyes fell on Zhu Yuyan had a profound meaning, and she smiled and said, "It was the third girl who said that she would always meet in the future. Why not take advantage of today to get to know each other first!"
Zhu Yuyan had no choice but to agree. The two boats had to set up boards, which was quite stable. When Zhu Yuyi saw Xiao Jingyong's heart, she walked in front of him regardless of her age. Mrs. Dong followed Zhu Yuyan and saw her stepping onto the board, hesitated and hurriedly reached out to support her, "Miss, don't be afraid, my mother is here, so I will never let the girl make any mistakes."
Zhu Yuyan had to give up the idea of escaping at the battle. She looked at her feet carefully. Although the person was calm, she was still very worried and did not dare to look ahead. There was also a dark river water under her feet, with waves rolling up, making waves slapping on the shore. Even a slight shaking was magnified several times.
She seemed particularly nervous. On the opposite side, Zhu Yuyi and Xiao Jingyong stood side by side on the deck. Both of them looked at her, and their expressions were definitely different in their eyes. Zhu Yuyi smiled and said, "Brother Xiao, do you think my second sister is very brave?"
Xiao Jingyong glanced at her faintly, his hand was hanging beside him, his right hand gently twisted the jade belt around his waist, his phoenix eyes were cold, and the candlelight on the bows of the boats on both sides reflected in his dark eyes, as deep as a distant galaxy. When he saw Zhu Yuyan stepping over, his figure shaking, and he couldn't help but take a step forward, and his restrained hand was about to extend it.
Grandma Dong held her, and Zhu Yuyan held the railing at the bow of the boat, and was so shocked that she was covered in cold sweat. She raised her head and looked at Xiao Jingyong. The two of them met in the air. She pretended to be calm, and she could not even cover her panic in her eyes, which contained a little grievance, which was caused by her habits in her previous life.
Xiao Jingyong's heart felt like he was hit hard, and he felt a severe pain. Fortunately, Zhu Yuyan's eyes quickly moved away and Zhu Yuyi ran over, "Second sister, are you afraid of falling into the river? Do you know that you looked so funny when you came here just now? Fortunately, Brother Xiao and I are not outsiders!"
Xiao Jingyong frowned fiercely. Grandma Dong saw it next to her and said, "The third girl is a brave one. However, it is better to be more timid when walking on the river. Most of the drowning people are not afraid of water."
Zhu Yuyi was extremely unhappy when she heard this. She raised her chin and glanced at Grandma Dong, "You woman, you have such a long mouth. Did I talk to you?" She said, turned her head and complained to Xiao Jingyong, "Brother Xiao, you woman dare to curse me!"
Xiao Jingyong looked at Zhu Yuyan. His face obviously said unhappiness, but Zhu Yuyan only pretended not to see it, and even took a step back, obviously unwilling to get involved in this matter.
Xiao Jingyong was annoyed all of a sudden. He seemed to have returned to his previous life. After the relationship between him and her was exposed, his fourth uncle wanted to marry him. At that time, she was already his fourth uncle's concubine. She actually instructed her elder sister to personally persuade him to marry, and recommended his sister to him, Zhu Yuyi.
Many times, he wanted to look back and no longer love her, but all the warmth in that life came from her, and he was used to getting warmth from her. However, after his wedding, no matter how hard he fought with Zhu Yuyi, she ignored it and tried to stay out of it.
Just like today!
Xiao Jingyong's eyes suddenly became sharp. Zhu Yuyan could have felt that even after two lifetimes, she still felt his emotions at once. She was angry and impatient. This anger was coming for her.
Zhu Yuyan felt wronged, not that she annoyed him. As in the previous life, whenever the two of them had a conflict, he would settle the score with her. He would get angry in front of her and be very difficult to be coaxed.
Zhu Yuyi looked at Xiao Jingyong and Zhu Yuyan. She felt that although these two people didn't meet many times, they seemed to be particularly familiar with each other. Their middle was so close that water could not be poured into them. She didn't like this feeling very much.
Zhu Yuyan finally gave in and was unwilling to accommodate Xiao Jingyong too much. She had been the empress dowager for 47 years and had a graceful demeanor on her face. She smiled and her smile only appeared in a flash on her face. "Thank you with the kindness of Mr. Xiao, I invite my sisters to come and eat the river catfish. I have no choice but to give you a special gift, please accept it!"
After saying that, Zhu Yuyan took another step back. Behind her, Pearl came forward, holding a red sandalwood box about two feet long and inch wide in her hand. It was exquisitely carved and was extremely famous and precious just by looking at the appearance. She presented it to Xiao Jingyong.
Xiao Jingyong was hit hard again, and his figure shook for a moment. Fortunately, it was only a moment and quickly stabilized. When Grandma Dong reached out to the box, he was already one step faster. He personally took his hand and held it, pinched it, took a deep breath, and had recovered from his indifference. He handed it to Grandma Dong, "Put it back to my room!"
The three of them were eating in the main cabin. Xiao Jingyong sat in the main seat, Zhu Yuyan sat first in his left hand, and Zhu Yuyi sat in Zhu Yuyan's head. Therefore, Zhu Yuyi was a little dissatisfied. Xiao Jingyong just pretended that he did not see her dissatisfaction and raised his hand and said, "Please, don't be polite!"
The taste of the river catfish is still the same as before. Zhu Yuyan felt it when she took her first bite. She didn't expect that the chef had followed Xiao Jingyong at this moment. In her previous life, she never returned to Jingzhou again. When she was pregnant, she wanted to eat a bite of the river catfish. He didn't know where he knew it. He pulled ten carts of river catfish to go up to Beijing and raised it with water. He didn't know how many deaths along the way. In the end, there were more than ten living people left. He secretly sent one to the palace every day just to make a good meal.
At that time, the imperial physician said that she had severe morning sickness, insufficient support, and she could not protect her fetus, and she was at risk of miscarriage at any time.
