   Chapter 1056 When to propose marriage

  The wind is different in ten miles, and the customs are different in a hundred miles. Suzhou and Kang'an, where many ethnic groups live, are separated by three thousand miles and have very different customs.

   Jiang Liu, who disguised himself as a local brother and sister with his brother, covered half of his face with a cloak, and stared at the dazzling array of goods on the street with a pair of dazzling peach eyes.

   I like this, buy it!

   That looks good, buy it!

  I have never eaten this before, try it!

   That one smells good, try it too!

  In the private room facing the street on the second floor of the tea house, Pijia's calm eyes moved slowly with Jiang Liu.

  The guard behind him reported the news in a low voice, "The fourth young master was beaten twenty sticks by Jiang Feng and sent to the Suzhou prison. He will be sent to the border city to serve in a few days."

   Seeing Jiang Liu put a piece of roast mutton into Jiang Ling's mouth with a bamboo stick, Pijia said with a gloomy look, "Suzhou prison is heavily guarded, and it will not be too late to rescue him after he is sent to the border town."

  The guard hesitated for a moment, "Fourth Young Master, he..."

  Piga said calmly, "There is a bell in the field, he can't suffer much in Suzhou Houya. But if the errand given by the khan can't be done, your heads will be chopped off and fed to the wolf."

   The guards shivered with fright, bowing their heads and not daring to persuade them any more.

  Piga asked again, "Has Reheman's reply arrived yet?"

  The other guard shook his head, "Reheman helped Teng Li win the throne of King Changhe. At this time, he was in full swing, and he was afraid that he would not easily reveal the whereabouts of the army rations."

"No matter how powerful it is, it's just a tortoise curled up in Yongchang City that dare not show its head." Watching Jiang Liu pull down his cloak and put a sour jujube into the small and bright red mouth, the delicate little face was wrinkled with sourness. In a ball, even so, she still looks very cute and agile.

  Piga's eyes darkened, not to blame that fool Geluo rushing to grab someone, he now wants to grab this little girl back and keep it in a cage.

   "Go to Yongchang tomorrow."

   The guard quickly persuaded, "Yongchang is not peaceful, or should his subordinates lead people to take Reheman back to Turks?"

   "The food is in Suzhou, what's the use of taking him back?" When Ren Lingsheng looked up, Pijia turned around and walked out.

"elder brother?"

  Jiang Ling retracted his eyes, saw Liu'er holding a naive little wooden man in his hand, and said with a smile, "You don't need to buy this, I'll go back and carve an exact one for you."

Thinking of the delicate peach wood hairpin that his brother gave him this time, Jiang Liu immediately put the little wooden man back on the stall, pulled his brother's sleeves and walked forward, "There is a flower market in front, let's buy some unique flower seeds and roots here. , to send it back to my grandmother."

   When Jiang Ling walked forward, he whispered to Jiang Cai, "Piga is upstairs, send someone to follow him."

  Jiang Cai nodded, "It's dangerous here, young master, will you take the sixth girl back to the yamen first?"

   Looking at Liu'er's glowing peach blossom pupils, Jiang Ling refused without thinking, "It's okay."

  Jiang Liu had a great time shopping today. When he returned to Suzhou Houya, there was a table full of gadgets he bought. Before she could put her things away, Qin Bai quickly ran into the room to announce the good news, "Girl, girl, the second young master is back!"

   Jiang Liu heard the words, turned around and ran out. She has been in Suzhou for half a year and has yet to see Brother Erlang.

   Jiang Erlang, who had just entered the yamen, saw a fiery little man rushing towards him. He changed his gentle smile and revealed a big smile, "Sixth sister!"

  I haven't seen you for two years. The second brother has grown taller and stronger, but his gentle eyes have not changed at all. Jiang Liu smiled and folded his fists in salute, "Little sister greets General Jiang."

   Jiang Erlang is the only Jiang family member who has been crowned with the title of "General". He raised his hand and rubbed his sister's little head, "Sixth sister has grown taller and more beautiful."

   Jiang Erlang raised his eyes to look at Xiaolu again, and as expected, seeing Jiang Ling walking out, he smiled slightly, "When did Brother Ling come back?"

   "The day before yesterday. I heard from the strategist that the second brother has made another military exploits. Tonight we will have a good life to celebrate." Jiang Ling smiled heartily, he and Jiang Erlang had also been missing for several months.

   Compared with Jiang Ling's, his own military exploits pale in comparison to Jiang Ling's, but Jiang Erlang is content with his exploits and coming back alive. He raised his hand and tapped Jiang Ling's shoulder, "I brought kumiss, and the second uncle and I will not be drunk tonight."

   Jiang Liu said immediately, "I want to drink too."

   Jiang Erlang smiled, "You have to ask the second uncle. Let's go, go back to the house and see what good things the second brother brought you."

   Seeing the guard behind the second brother holding a one-foot-square wooden box, Jiang Liu's eyes brightened.

   Back in the main room, Jiang Liu opened the box and found that there were stones of different sizes and shapes, or unpolished jade. She picked up a piece and weighed it and asked, "Second brother, what kind of jade is this?"

  Jiang Erlang smiled and said, "This is the Gobi stone. I picked it up when I was free. Two boxes were sent back to Beijing for the third uncle to enjoy, and one box was left for you to relieve your boredom."

   Their third uncle, Jiang Huai, likes strange stones the most. Jiang Liu also liked the beautiful color of the Gobi stone, "Uncle Three must be very happy when he received the stone. These stones are so beautiful. Look at this one, does it look like a bird that has just broken its shell?"

   "After a little polishing, it's more like." Jiang Erlang got up, "I'll go to change clothes to meet the second uncle, and then come back to find you."

"Okay, my father is in the former ya study room, second brother, hurry up and come back." Jiang Liu sent Jiang Erlang out of the hospital, then ran back to the box, turned his head to Jiang Ling while playing with stones and said with a smile, "Brother and second brother, One plays woodcarving and the other picks up rocks."

  The frontier soldiers, every time they come back alive from the battlefield, they will be very homesick. At this time, always find something to kill the time, so that it will not be too difficult. Jiang Ling pulled out a fist-sized fiery red Gobi stone, compared it with Jiang Liubainen's hand, and said with a smile, "I can not only carve wood, but also stone, Liu'er would like a jade bracelet of this color. ?"

   "I don't want to." Jiang Liu immediately refused.

   Carving stone is more laborious and more likely to hurt hands than carving wood. My brother is already tired enough to lead a war. He should rest when he is free. There is no need to compete with a stone.

  How could Jiang Ling not understand her thoughts? He held a stone and smiled, "There should be a jade shop in Suzhou city. Let's go around when we have free time in the second and third days of junior high school, and pick something that catches our eyes."

  Jiang Liu responded immediately, and said happily, "Okay. If there are beautiful ones, buy more and bring them back to Kang'an as gifts. The particularly beautiful ones are kept as a dowry for my sister."

  Jiang Ling clenched the crystal clear red stone in his hand and said, "Keep the most beautiful one for me."

   "Do you keep it as a dowry?" Jiang Liu joked.

   "Yes." Jiang Ling replied softly. Keep it for you as a dowry.

   After Jiang Erlang returned, the Jiang family in Suzhou gathered. Jiang Erye took his nephew and adopted son to drink in the evening, under the pretense that he wanted to practice their drinking.

  Unsurprisingly, both of them were defeated by Jiang Erye. Jiang Erye took another sip of wine, shook his head and sighed, "The two of them still have to practice, it's too far behind."

   "Dad, the wine hurts a lot." Jiang Liuphen, who didn't catch a sip of wine, asked to send the second brother and brother back to the room to rest.

   After being helped to the wing, the "drunk" two woke up. Jiang Erlang walked vainly to the table and sat down, took a sip of sober tea and asked, "When is Brother Ling going to propose marriage to my second uncle?"
