Tremblingly, Ling Xiu handed her the invitation and said: "You dont have to strip him of his clothes anymore, we can enter Jiangs residence now."
Hua Yu was shocked and took over the letter, looked at it and exclaimed: "Is there such a good thing?"
"Yes." Ling Xiu nodded, her eyes shining with delight again, "It seems that young master Jiang is quite concerned about you, and actually sent a special invitation for you to come. He must be looking forward to your arrival!"
She was indeed worried about it, but did she really want her to go? Li Huaiyu shook his head. If that were the case, this letter should have been delivered long ago. Why send it at this hour when by rights she should have already left the manor?
Its better to say that Jiang Xiaoyao is going because of someone elses request rather than his own desire.
Received the post, Huai Yu dragged the unconscious house slave to the side of the wall and put his head down, then beckoned to Ling Xiu: "Lets go."
The sky was still a bit dark, and the official road was covered with a layer of misty fog. Lingxiu was just about to say that they shouldnt go find a carriage, when before she could even open her mouth, a very luxurious bronze-topped eight-treasured fragrance carriage appeared from afar and stopped beside them.
"Get in." A jade-boned fan lifted the car curtain, revealing Lu Jinghangs handsome face.
Li Huaiyu smiled and said: "I thought you overslept."
He reached out and pulled her up, Lu Jinghang said irritably: "Miss, weve been struggling for a while and its already the ugly hour, what sleep can I still get?"
As soon as she heard this, Lingxius hand slipped off the carriage shaft just as she was about to climb up, and she almost fell.
"Be careful." He reached out and pulled her into a steady seat on the carriage shaft, Huai Yu turned back to give Lu Jinghang a white eye, "You speak properly!"
"Hey, its the truth!" Lu Jinghang lifted the carriage curtain and didnt let go, his phoenix eyes full of ripples. "Wasnt it because you were busy picking out jewelry and clothes that we ended up leaving at midnight?"
Last night, Li Huaiyu was in a hurry to leave, but the clothes in his store didnt quite fit her size. There wasnt enough time to remake them, so Lu Jinghang could only alter the dresses to fit her size, which took several hours.
Since others were helping out so much, Yu naturally couldnt just pat his butt and leave, he could only grit his teeth and accompany him, thus they ended up staying until the ugly hour.
Ling Xiu let out a breath and said, "So thats how it is."
Lu Jinghang smiled and put down the curtain, looking up at Li Huaiyu sitting opposite him: "Are you all ready?"
"Ready." Huai Yu nodded, her eyes gleaming, "Once we arrive, well split up."
"Should I wait for you when leaving?"
"No need, theres white...my dad is here."
Nodding, Lu Jinghang unfolded his fan and smiled: "In case something goes wrong, remember to head west."
Lingxiu and Zhao Cai were sitting on the outer edge of the carriage, listening to the conversation between the two masters. They thought they were just talking about Bai Si Miss going to Jiang Fus house to show her face, and didnt think much of it.
However, Li Huaiyu in the carriage understood that Lu Jinghang was worried about her going to find Qing Si and getting into trouble, so he made an appointment with her to wait for her on the west side, and if she had any trouble, he could still help.
The birthday party of the young master of the Jiang family was not a big deal, but she had to put in so much effort for another important reason: to find out what happened to Qing Si.
Qing Si was in Jiang Xuanjins hands, not in the big prison, so she must be somewhere in the Jiang mansion. Taking advantage of this opportunity, she and Lu Jinghang discussed it for a while, and the two of them took action separately, carefully searching around the Jiang mansion.
The horseshoes clattered, and this group of people finally arrived at their destination before the third watch.
The sky was bright, and the entrance of Jiangs mansion was crowded with people. Carriages and sedan chairs were parked everywhere. As soon as Li Huaiyu got off the carriage, she saw a stone slab standing beside the gate, taller than a person.
It is an unpolished jade stone. The side facing the morning sun has been polished very smoothly, with four characters written on it in a flying dragon and dancing phoenix style.
Loyal and good for generations.
This was written by her father before his death, and he ordered eight horses to be used to bring it here, in order to show his respect for the Jiang family. The Jiang family also lived up to their reputation: the eldest son, Jiang Chong, excelled in martial arts, with outstanding military achievements; the second son, Jiang Shen, excelled in literature, with a talent that shook the nation.
As for the Third Young Master, its even more unthinkable. At 16 years old, he entered politics and now is the renowned Purple Sun Duke who personally eliminated the Dan Yang Long Princess, a scourge to the imperial court for many years.
With a faint smile, Li Huaiyu withdrew her gaze and followed Lu Jingxing into the main hall.
Today there were many guests, Jiang Chong brought Jiang Yan to the door to greet them, and the etiquette was very thorough.
"Congratulations!"
"Welcome! Please come in."
"This young master Jiangs demeanor is truly impressive! The Jiang family really has talented people emerging one after another! Haha!"
"Its too kind of you, not at all! Please come in."
Following his own fathers repeated greetings and courtesy, Jiang Yans face showed no impatience, but in his heart... he was already fed up to death!
These empty and hollow words, truly didnt have any meaning at all. Yet he had to listen, and couldnt show even a hint of displeasure. Its unknown whether today was his birthday or the day of his punishment.
Just as I was feeling depressed, two more people appeared in front of me.
"Mr. Lu." Jiang Chong bowed his hands, "Your esteemed presence is a great honor, I apologize for not welcoming you from afar."
"The general smiled." Lu Jinghang smiled and returned the courtesy, "Im honored to be invited, I dont know what to say."
"Where, where." Jiang Chong said politely, but didnt hear Jiang Yans response.
He looked slightly puzzled, and when he turned his head, he saw that his own son was staring blankly at the side of Lu Jinghang.
Whats he looking at? Following his gaze, Jiang Chong was shocked.
What a refined and elegant young lady, with a gentle expression, yet her demeanor is not inferior to the man beside her. As she meets his gaze, she calmly and unhurriedly makes a gesture of courtesy: "General, you are polite, Young Master Jiang, you are also polite."
Her hair was half down, her posture was elegant and dignified, he couldnt help but want to praise her a few words.
"Who is this?" Taking over the note handed by her maid beside her, Jiang Chong lowered his head to take a look, and his eyes sparkled slightly.
Jiang Yan didnt look at the post, but sensed that his father beside him had suddenly stopped speaking, thinking he had been rude somewhere, and hastily came back to himself and bowed his hands saying: "Please, after you."
Li Huaiyu nodded slightly and smiled faintly at him before following Lu Jinghang inside.
"Youre really good at pretending. The Jade Bone Fan unfolded, and Lu Jinghang covered his mouth and whispered, You look like a real person."
Li Huaiyu walked with his hands behind his back and laughed, revealing two canine teeth: "Do you think I grew up somewhere?"
Although she doesnt like to follow rules, it doesnt mean shes ignorant. She knows exactly what to do and when!
Jiang Yan looked at the distant back and thought that the peony on her skirt was really beautiful, and she hadnt seen many people who could wear this color well.
Jiang Chong looked at him and suddenly asked: "Did you send an invitation card to Miss Bai Si alone?"
Mentioning this matter, Jiang Yans face sank: "My brother-in-law asked me to send it, Ive already had someone send it. As for whether she comes or not, it has nothing to do with me."
Jiang Chong paused for a moment, looked at him, and then looked at the invitation in his hand.
This kid, didnt he completely fail to recognize who that girl was just now?
