Chapter 419 He Hu Visits
When Xie Jiaojiao learned that Princess Jiahui was going to marry a foreign prince, she was slightly stunned. She didn't expect Jiang Zhongren to be so efficient.
"So fast?"
When Jiang Weinan saw the wound on her face, he was furious.
"You still think it's fast? I think it's too slow! She's a princess, and her food, clothing and daily expenses are all provided by the people, but she insults and despises the common people. I think it should have been done a long time ago!"
Xie Jiaojiao did not respond, but if Jiahui really went to marry, then she would have no choice but to die.
After all, she was no longer a virgin. If she went to marry, it would just be a slap in the face of the Huns.
And once the Hun King finds out that she is married, he will probably send her to death early!
Cuizhu came in with a box in her hand.
"Madam, this is something that the eldest prince's wife sent. She said that if you apply it on the wound, it will regenerate tissue and stop bleeding without leaving any scars."
Jiang Weinan took it and was about to apply it on Xie Jiaojiao.
"No, I don't need to grow new flesh to stop bleeding. Keeping such a valuable thing may be useful in the future."
After saying that, he took it from Jiang Weinan's hand and put it away.
Jiang Weinan couldn't persuade her anyway, so he just let her do what she wanted.
Xie Jiaojiao stayed in the house for a few days and the wound on her face was almost healed.
It's almost New Year's Eve, and the showroom has sent some clothes for the New Year, so Xie Jiaojiao can try them on and modify them if there are any flaws.
Just as the people from the showroom left, the servants outside came in and said, "Master and Madam, there is another person named He Hu who wants to see you."
He Hu?
The two looked at each other and said, "Please let him in."
After a while, He Hu came.
The moment he appeared, Xie Jiaojiao and Jiang Weinan were both a little bit unconvinced.
He was wearing the simplest clothes and looked much older. His hair was tied up with a turban. He no longer looked as energetic as before.
Please have him take a seat.
"Why do you look like this?" Jiang Weinan asked.
He Hu smiled bitterly: "Is it a little hard to recognize?"
Jiang Weinan nodded slightly but then shook his head: "You have been away from home for more than a year, how have you been living?"
He Hu raised his hands, only to see that they were covered with frostbite and calluses.
"I used to think I was very powerful in the town and in Jiangbo City, but when I came to the capital, I found that I was nothing. I didn't have the blessing of my parents, I couldn't do accounting, I wasn't good at martial arts or literature, so I could only work as a laborer at the docks."
Jiang Weinan felt a little uncomfortable after listening to this. After all, this man was his childhood friend.
"Didn't you go find Yan'er?"
He Hu laughed bitterly again: "I have looked for her, but when I looked at her from afar, I realized the difference between her and me."
Li Yan'er was served by servants and maids whenever she went out, and the people who came and went were either rich or noble.
"I didn't know in Jiangbo City before, but her uncle, your uncle, is actually the prime minister of the dynasty! How can I be worthy of a rich girl like her in my current appearance? Moreover, in Jiangbo City, my family was obviously marrying up, but my mother and others..." In the end, he couldn't say any more. His family had wronged such a girl so much. If he were this girl, she would definitely not want to see him again.
Jiang Weinan patted his shoulder, sighed and said nothing.
"I was on my way back from the dock yesterday when I saw someone who looked like you from afar. Then I followed you and saw you enter the Prime Minister's Mansion. That's why I came to visit you today."
"Then do you want to go back to Jiangbo City with us? We will leave after the New Year."
He Hu shook his head: "No, I don't want to go back. I think I am fine now. I live by my own hands. Although life is a little hard, I live comfortably."
Also, here, as long as he is not discovered by Yan'er, he can secretly look at her. He will feel satisfied if he can look at her a few more times.
How could Jiang Weinan not know what he was thinking.
"Since you don't dare to recognize her, then what's the point of you staying here? Will you feel at ease and happy only if you see her get married and have children in the future?"
He Hu pursed his lips and said nothing.
Xie Jiaojiao glared at Jiang Weinan.
Jiang Weinan then let out a breath and changed the subject:
"Then do you have any message that you want us to take back to your parents?"
He Hu was silent for a while.
"There's nothing to bring. If they ask, just tell them I'm doing fine."
After He Hu finished speaking, he didn't sit for long and got up to say goodbye.
Jiang Weinan quickly took out a lot of silver bills and gave them to him.
But he refused.
He just smiled and said: "I may be a little poorer now, but I can still make a living."
After saying that, she pushed back the hand that was handing him the banknote and said, "Let's go."
After seeing the person leave, Xie Jiaojiao said, "I was wondering why I didn't hear Yan'er mention it. It turns out that he didn't go to meet her."
Jiang Weinan hugged her shoulders and said, "This is all his choice."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yan'er came running over.
this....
Li Yan'er just looked at them with a smile.
"What? Are you stupid?"
"Did you just come from outside?" Xie Jiaojiao asked.
Li Yaner nodded: "What's wrong?"
The two shook their heads and said nothing.
Li Yan'er pulled Xie Jiaojiao over and hugged her arm: "It's so cold, why are you standing outside? Mom asked the jewelry store to send a lot of new styles today, so I called over so you can pick some to match our new clothes."
Xie Jiaojiao let her pull her into the house, and the servant behind her quickly opened the box and let Xie Jiaojiao choose.
Looking at this scene and thinking about what He Hu had just said, Xie Jiaojiao was speechless for a moment.
Li Yan'er, however, held up a number of jewelries and tried them on her head, saying this one was pretty, then that one.
Xie Jiaojiao looked at her bright face and thought, maybe He Hu was right. It was okay in Jiangbo City, but if it were in the capital, there would be a world of difference between him and Li Yan'er.
Before the Chinese New Year, there was another heavy snowfall in the capital city, which turned the entire city white.
Jiang Zhongren's face became more serious day by day.
Talk to He Mengwan before going to bed at night.
"Our Majesty is really dying."
He Mengwan also looked worried.
"After the New Year, we should quickly send the Weinan family away. We can't let them get into trouble."
He Mengwan nodded: "I understand, don't worry, I have prepared these things long ago."
