The Brocaded Tale of The Girl Si

The white horse has passed, and soon it will be July.

In July, the summer heat in the capital has not yet subsided, and people are shaking in the streets, and their clothes are about to get soaked, but according to the season, it is already early autumn.

In the early autumn, the sky is high, the clouds are light and sparse, the eyes are full of blue sky, and the sun is even hotter than the midsummer. People's mood is inexplicably brighter in such a season.

Jiang Si's mood is getting heavier every day.

The death of the second brother in the previous life was like a boulder pressing on her heart, and as that day got closer, she couldn't breathe.

After the death of Yong Changbo and his wife, she did not dare to act rashly.

It was an unforgettable lesson for her to understand that an inadvertent change can sometimes bring unpredictable doom.

Jiang Xi did not dare to risk his brother's life.

Rather than desperately preventing her second brother from going to the river on the day she died in her previous life, she would rather follow the trajectory of her previous life and save her second brother at the most critical moment.

It is impossible for her to be inseparable with her second brother all day long. Who knows if there will be a next time after stopping this river tour? or other unexpected accidents.

For Jiang Si, at least the information about the time and place of Jiang Zhan's death in the previous life is clear, which is much better than facing the unknown.

However, it is impossible to say that you are not panicking.

It's human nature to be concerned.

"Girl, you are getting thinner and thinner these days. Are you unable to eat in the hot weather?" Ah Qiao put a plate of dim sum on the table and persuaded, "The maid specially made cold fruit, you can try it."

Ah Qiao is a skilled maid, very talented in making dim sum, a plate of cool fruit, light green and light powder, wrapped in finely shredded coconut like a frost flower, looking at it in this hot weather will make people's appetite greatly increase.

Jiang Xi shook his head: "You and Aman can eat, just bring me a cup of honey water."

Ah Qiao was still waiting to persuade her, but seeing Jiang Shi's dignified expression, she had to give up her thoughts and turned around to serve the honey water.

Jiang Shi stood up and paced back and forth in the not-so-spacious room.

This is the day when the second brother and Yang Shengcai, the grandson of the Minister of Rites, painted a boat tour of the river.

Although I have thought about every detail over and over again, there must be no change in this matter from the development of the previous life, but until the news from Jiang Zhan's side, Jiang seems still unable to let go.

"Girl, girl—" Ah Man ran in from outside panting.

Just as Ah Qiao came over with the honey water, Jiang Si took the honey water and handed it to Ah Man.

Ah Man finished drinking in one breath, put the empty bowl back into Ah Qiao's hand, and said quickly, "Aji has heard news that someone has invited the second son to go to Jinshuihe to play."

Jiang Si bit her lip hard and kicked the little tadpole beside her feet angrily.

She knew that the second brother was someone who didn't remember to eat or fight, and as expected, he got involved with Yang Shengcai and the others.

After being annoyed, I felt a little more at ease.

Everything is developing according to the previous life, so she has the confidence to save the second brother.

"When will the second son go?"

"Said it was an appointment in the evening."

Jiang Si pursed her lips, and was determined to ask Jiang Zhan a few words, but she was worried that it would cause a change, so she had to suppress this urge abruptly, and ordered Aman to find Lao Qin.

The place to meet Lao Qin is a pavilion connecting the front yard and the back house.

Jiang Shi didn't wait long before Lao Qin was led over by Aman.

When he came to Jiang Si, Lao Qin saluted with his fists, and waited for orders without saying a word.

Lao Qin's attitude made Jiang Si extremely at ease.

Sometimes she needs someone as smart as A Fei to do things, and sometimes she needs someone like Lao Qin who can carry out her orders without compromise.

It's about the life and death of her brother, and she doesn't allow any mistakes.

"Old Qin, do you know Jinshuihe?"

Lao Qin shook his head.

He is not from the capital, and he chose to take root in the capital just because he had a thought in his heart, and he had never even heard of Jinshuihe.

"Then go and find out. I need you to be as familiar with the situation of Jinshui River as possible, and hire a boat to wait for me there." Jiang Si said to Lao Qin.

Lao Qin was not even surprised, and nodded immediately: "Don't worry, girl.

"

Jiang Si explained some more details, and finally said: "Old Qin, tonight's matter is very important to me, so please."

Lao Qin clasped his fists: "I will do my best to do what the girl told me."

Separated from Lao Qin, Jiang Si returned to Haitangju and started to pack up.

Ah Qiao had a bad premonition and asked tentatively, "Girl, are you going out again?"

Well, why did she use the word "again"?

"Yes, A-Man and I may be back tonight. A-Qiao, I will leave the matter in the yard to you. Be especially careful not to be found out that A-Man and I are not here."

Ah Qiao said bitterly, "Girl—"

This is the third time!

In the end, poor A Qiao didn't say anything to dissuade her, and after sending Jiang Si and A Man away, she silently recited Amitabha Buddha countless times.

If it goes on like this, she will become a vegetarian.

The Jinshui River is much quieter in the daytime. The most lively time is at night, when the willows are on the moon and the lights are bright. There are countless boats and boats roaming on the Jinshui River. There are faint sounds of music and laughter. The end of the fat powder fragrance.

This is the gentle township that the talented people yearn for, and it is also the gold-selling cave where the rich and powerful linger.

Jiang Si and Aman were both dressed in unremarkable clothes, quietly watching the exquisite painting boats parked on the bank gradually light up with red lanterns and slowly sailing towards the river.

"Girl." A low voice sounded, and Lao Qin rocked the boat to the shore.

In addition to those painting boats carved with dragons and phoenixes, Jinshui River also has many nimble boats, some of which are hawkers who shuttle between the boats and sell fresh fruit and snacks, and some are ordinary flower girls. to send business.

It's not just the rich who come to Jinshuihe.

Lao Qin rowed the boat skillfully, and was inconspicuous in these boats.

Jiang Si and Ah Man got on the boat.

A Man is a little strange: "Old Qin, I don't see that you can row a boat."

"Yeah." Lao Qin replied simply.

There was a river where he and Ximei grew up as childhood sweethearts. When they were young, they often played in the water with their companions. As for rowing, it was not difficult for him to master the kung fu.

"Girl, what should I do next?" Ah Man was eager to try.

Jiang Xi stared straight ahead.

There is a painting boat docked there, and the most gorgeous one is in sight.

At this moment, there are several young men talking and laughing and walking towards the painting boat. One of them is most familiar to her, and it is the second brother Jiang Zhan.

Aman's eyes widened slightly, and he yanked Jiang Si's sleeves: "Girl, the second son is here!"

At this time, Jiang Xi calmed down instead, and calmly ordered: "Old Qin, start the boat and follow the painting boat."

Lao Qin rowed the water waves with his oars without saying a word, and the boat quickly merged into the rushing boat flow and approached the painting boat.
