Half in the river wind, half in the clouds

Mother Jiang stayed awake all night, and went to the Shen residence early the next morning. She held a closed-door meeting with Mrs. Shen for half a day. It was unknown what the two talked about. After returning, Mother Jiang issued the following instructions:

First, Jiang Feng was confined to his house indefinitely, and was not allowed to meet Shen Guxing privately or go out. Second, the management of servants was strengthened, they were required to do more and talk less, stay at home less, and do a good job of environmental control. Third, a fast horse was sent to send a letter to Liangzhou.

Jiang's mother was like facing a formidable enemy. Naturally, she had a falling out with Mrs. Shen and was also worried. Shen Guxing still couldn't handle his old mother who was devoted to Buddhism and lived in harmony with the world.

She was confined in a yard, knowing nothing and being able to do nothing.

Youran was transferred away by Jiang's mother and replaced by a newly bought maid. The little maid worked quickly but was very quiet. Jiang Feng seemed to have his ears cut off and had no news at all.

Fortunately, Chu Yan was staying here as a guest, and the two of them gradually became familiar with each other, and they actually got along more and more harmoniously, and the previous hostility disappeared. The reason was that because of Jiang Feng and Shen Guxing's incident, Chu Yan let down his guard and accepted the fact that Jiang Feng and Guan Shanyun did not have a romantic relationship.

If we are not rivals in love, of course we can be friends.

During the time when they were together, Jiang Feng learned about the love story of Chu Yan and Guan Shanyun. In the story Chu Yan told, they went to Mount Emei together, and watched the half-moon and the green river from the top of the peak; they slept on the painted boat in the Jiangnan area with willows, painted bridges, and green curtains; they stayed in the countryside and talked about love under the stars; they stayed in a farmer's house and talked about farming with the owner over wine...

Guan Shanyun didn't mind her humble background. She was willing to travel the world with Guan Shanyun. Through constant departures and encounters, through repeated journeys and companionship, they eventually upgraded from physical partners to soul mates.

Jiang Feng suddenly realized that Chu Yan was the close friend that Guan Shanyun had repeatedly mentioned! Jiang Feng had always thought that he was a rough man, and even doubted Guan Shanyun's sexual orientation!

Jiang Feng was envious, how could she not be envious? ! Such a life was one of the directions in her life plan.

But she was still full of hope. She believed in Shen Guxing and they would definitely have a happy life.

Seeing Jiang Feng's yearning expression, Chu Yan said after a long while, "I come from a humble background, and I have only heard of kings, princes, generals and ministers in operas. They are no different from gods. The first time I met the Prince of Zhongshan, I felt like a god descended from heaven. He is of noble status, handsome, and values ​​you so much that he is willing to risk his life for you. How could Ah Feng not like such a person?"

This is the conventional thinking of this era! Jiang Feng was surprised by Chu Yan's frankness, so he smiled and said, "Does it mean that I have to like him just because he is a prince? According to this logic, if a prince, a crown prince, or an emperor, in short, someone more powerful than him, falls in love with me one day, should I also like someone else? In that case, my mother will not only spank me, but even throw me into the Yellow River to feed the fishes will not satisfy her hatred."

Chu Yan was dumbfounded by Jiang Feng's twisted theory. Seeing this, Jiang Feng laughed and said, "Does Li Longye like you now? Will you also abandon your elder brother?"

Chu Yan heard Jiang Feng's teasing and said shyly: "Little hoof, don't talk nonsense! How could the prince like me!?"

Jiang Feng clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Why not? Sister is as beautiful as a flower, like a fairy from heaven, and people will never forget her. But it's in vain for him to like her. You and big brother have similar interests and your relationship is stronger than gold, and you will never be separated again."

Chu Yan's face was as red as an apple. She was stunned for a moment and pretended to be angry: "I was kind enough to accompany you to relieve your boredom, but you made fun of me. I will pay attention to you again!"

Jiang Feng climbed up Chu Yan's arm and said with a smile: "Good sister-in-law, thank you for coming to accompany me. I won't dare to do it again!"

Chu Yan's face turned red when she heard this. She was anxious, angry and embarrassed. She stood up and said, "You keep talking nonsense. I'll tell my aunt!"

Seeing that Chu Yan was really anxious, Jiang Feng quickly pulled her back and said flatteringly, “Mother is so fierce, dear sister, please spare my life!”

Chu Yan was not really angry. Seeing Jiang Feng begging her, she sat down again and said, "It's not impossible to spare you this time. Your handwriting is beautiful. Can you teach me?"

Jiang Feng said with a smile: "Sister is studious, and I am not talented but I like to be a teacher, so I am happy to obey you!"

Chu Yan cupped his hands and said, "Then I will pay homage to you, Master."

Jiang Feng pretended to stroke his beard and said with a smile: "This boy is teachable."

Chu Yan was very talented. After just a few days, he was able to write the hairpin flower small regular script. The two of them were even more interested. They studied together every day and were in a trance for several days. When the gossip in the Beijing circle that "Shen Guxing, who was obsessed with the Chang'an girl, confessed his love to the country girl" was rampant, Jiang Feng was still completely unaware.

Jiang Zuo was confined in the palace for a month. One day, he finally came back with a piece of news: Shen Guxing was dismissed from office.

The whole family fell silent and looked at Jiang Feng together.

Jiang Feng expected this result. She was moved by Shen Guxing's persistence, but also felt wronged and helpless for his sacrifice. He was such a strong and motivated person. He started learning at the age of three, studied poetry and books, and never stopped from winter to summer. He had a bright future in front of him. Did he really give up?

Seeing that Jiang Feng was unhappy, Jiang Zuo took her to visit Qujiang River during the day off. Jiang's mother refused at first, but when she heard that Zhang Yuyue was going too, she agreed.

She will eventually grow old, and Jiang Zuo has a future. It is also a guarantee to let my daughter cultivate more feelings with her future sister-in-law.

In the carriage, seeing that he was in good spirits, Jiang Zuo said, "You two caused a big disaster, but you didn't take it to heart. There has been chaos outside these days. Princess Cheng'an fainted in front of His Majesty, the Queen issued two edicts in succession to reprimand her, and Madam Shen was so frightened that she was bedridden. Look at your mother, how many of her hairs have turned white because of you these days!"

Jiang Feng stuffed a large mouthful of Yunpian Gao fiercely, and before he could swallow it, he puffed his cheeks and muttered, "We didn't do anything treasonous! Brother, the hard battle is still ahead! If I don't think about it, the saliva of Chang'an City can drown me. It's just that mother and Madam Shen are worried."

Jiang Zuo saw that Jiang Feng was always obsessed with food and clothing, and could remain calm in the face of such a big thing. He was exactly the same as that person and they were a good match. Jiang Zuo couldn't help but sneer.

Jiang Feng immediately raised his eyebrows: "Brother, you are making fun of me! You are riding a donkey but don't know the hardship of driving a donkey. How can everyone in the world be like you and Sister Yue Yue, who can become husband and wife just because they love each other?"

Jiang Zuo was speechless for a moment, but after thinking about it, it was indeed as his younger sister said, liking a woman and being able to marry her was a blessing. He couldn't help but worry about the ill-fated couple, so he said, "Yi Ye has the same idea as you. He has more experience and is more calm in dealing with things. Unlike you, who is usually so smart, this time you were not only beaten, but also put in solitary confinement."

While eating heartily, Jiang Feng said pitifully, "I am so sad that my mother treated me like this. I thought she would tie me up, shave my head, and send me to a nunnery."

Jiang Feng also freed up his hands to perform various actions such as "tying" and "cutting".

Jiang Zuo was furious and cursed, "You mischievous ghost! It's just a pity for Aunt Shen. She was persuaded to propose marriage, but the next day she received an imperial edict reprimanding her. That's not all. I don't know who told her about the Prince of Zhongshan, and then Yi Ye was dismissed from office. She was so anxious that she fainted."

Jiang Feng suddenly felt that all kinds of food were tasteless. She put down the shortbread in a sullen manner and said leisurely, "Aunt Shen has devoted all her efforts to Yi Ye. Even the princess is not happy with her love for her son! How much more so for me! He...is in a difficult situation, right?"

"Whether he is difficult or not, we'll know when we meet him and ask him." Jiang Zuo said with a smile.

Shen Guxing actually went boating in the river as well!

Jiang Feng was pleasantly surprised when he heard this. His eyes brightened up again. He didn't care that the carriage was narrow. He pulled Jiang Zuo's arm over and said coquettishly, "It's so great to have a brother like this!"

Jiang Zuo shook his head helplessly, but heard the little girl humming a tune. It was cheerful, but the lyrics were really hard to understand: Oh, buy Preda Preda, hold me short, love tiger oil.

Jiang Zuo knew that she had been worried lately, so he ignored her as it was a rare opportunity for her to relax and just closed his eyes to rest.
