Chapter 634 Fate

Jiangnan.

The Lantern Festival is the most lively festival of the year.

Jiang Yan stayed in the inner house for a long time, thinking of moving very quietly, and wanted to go out for fun on the Lantern Festival.

For this reason, she specially prepared a lot of rhetoric, just to persuade Zhou Jin to let her go out.

Having been with Zhou Jin for several years, Jiang Yan vaguely guessed what he was doing.

But she's smart, she never asks, pretends she doesn't know anything.

In the first month, Zhou Jin was very busy and only came once.

Jiang Yan seized the opportunity and served Zhou Jin with care and tenderness at first.

Then, while he was happy, he made a request to go out during the Lantern Festival.

"I heard that this year's Lantern Festival, the government has added a lantern project, which is very amazing. I have never seen a lantern before, and I am very yearning for it. Young master, can you allow me to go out for fun on the Lantern Festival? There are maids and women guarding, my concubine Be sure to come back."

Zhou Jin squinted her eyes, seemingly enjoying herself lazily, but in fact her mind was running at high speed.

Suddenly hearing that Jiang Yan was going out for the Lantern Festival, he opened his eyes and stared at her inexplicably.

Jiang Yan's heart trembled immediately after being stared at by him.

She called out cautiously, "Master?"

Zhou Jin took her hand and asked, "Want to go out?"

Jiang Yan nodded cautiously, "If the young master disagrees, just be a concubine and never say anything."

Zhou Jin smiled and pinched her cheek.

"Do you know why my son has kept you by my side for so many years?"

Jiang Yan shook her head honestly.

Zhou Jin didn't show off, and directly explained Jiang Yan's doubts, "Because you are very knowledgeable. Over the years, there have been so many women around me, and you are the most knowledgeable one. In order to reward your knowledge, I promise you, You have half a day to go out during the Lantern Festival. You must come back before the gate is closed. Otherwise, you know the consequences."

Jiang Yan shuddered for a moment, and then she looked ecstatic.

"Young master agrees to my going out? Thank you, young master, you are so kind to me!"

Jiang Yan wept with joy.

It's not easy for a woman who is a pirate leader to go out for a while.

No wonder Jiang Yan was so excited.

As soon as she is happy, she will repay Zhou Jin.

The best way to repay, of course, is to use your own body.

However, Zhou Jin lacked interest and pushed her away.

Jiang Yan looked confused, what did she do wrong?

"My lord?" She looked timid, like a frightened deer.

Zhou Jin was expressionless, and directly asked someone to come in to take care of washing and dressing.

Jiang Yan hurriedly hid under the quilt, only showing one head.

After getting dressed, Zhou Jin turned around and gave her a serious look, "I will come to visit you again when I am free next month."

Jiang Yan nodded timidly, "My concubine sent the young master out."

"It's cold outside, you don't need to get up."

Zhou Jin looked outside the door, and the bright red lanterns hung high under the eaves, illuminating the yard brightly.

He snorted coldly, his mood turned from sunny to cloudy, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.

Jiang Yan was so frightened that she didn't dare to breathe out.

The young master is good at everything, but his temper is unpredictable. When it's good, it can pamper people to heaven, but when it's bad, it can't recognize people.

Zhou Jin looked at her, "After the Lantern Festival, don't go out. It's not peaceful outside recently."

Jiang Yan nodded honestly.

She didn't dare to ask how it was not peaceful outside.

She felt safe outside.

Under the rule of the government, the common people live and work in peace and contentment.

Zhou Jin took people with her, and went out against the cold wind, leaking fluid.

...

It's the Lantern Festival in a blink of an eye.

Jiang Yan dressed up and was beaming, ready to go out.

But the old woman stopped her, took a square scarf, "please hang it on both ears, lady, to cover her face."

Jiang Yan looked at the square scarf in the mother-in-law's hand with disgust, "Master has agreed for me to go out."

"Young Master agrees with the lady to go out, but he didn't say that the lady can show her face outside. If the lady refuses to cover her face, then don't go out."

Jiang Yan stared at the old woman viciously, old bastard. If it was in the palace, she would have ordered the execution of this blind woman long ago, so it would not be her turn to be arrogant.

The mother-in-law held up a square scarf with a firm attitude.

If Jiang Yan didn't wear a square scarf, the courtyard door wouldn't open. Don't even think about going out today.

Jiang Yan gritted her teeth, and took off the jade bracelet on her wrist, "Tonight's Lantern Festival, can you let me show my face? This jade bracelet, I'll give you a drink."

The mother-in-law glanced at the jade bracelet, and smiled sarcastically, "Madam, you know, what will happen if I tell the young master this scene?"

Jiang Yan snorted, put the jade bracelet on her wrist again, grabbed the square scarf again, hung it over her ears, and covered her face.

"It's okay like this."

The mother-in-law nodded, "The lady can go out now. Go early and return early."

Jiang Yan turned her head and left, followed by her mother-in-law. The servant girls and guards followed suit.

It was still daytime, and the streets were already crowded with people. It seemed like the whole town was out.

Jiang Yan is as happy as a swallow in spring, just like her name.

She was crowded in the crowd, curious about everything she saw, and wanted to buy everything she saw.

Soon, the servant girl's hands were full, all the messy things she bought. Even the guards were not spared, with things she bought hanging on them.

Only the mother-in-law has empty hands.

Jiang Yan didn't have the guts to hand over the items she bought to her mother-in-law.

I was tired from shopping, and it was still a while before dark, so I found a teahouse to sit down and rest.

She spent a lot of money and asked for a window seat on the second floor.

Looking down from the heights, watching the people coming and going on the street, I finally feel a little bit of life.

She stretched her waist, her face was relaxed at first, but in a blink of an eye her expression froze, her eyes widened, as if she had seen a ghost.

"Quick, quick, close the window. Quick!"

Jiang Yan was terrified to death.

The servant girl didn't know why, but she followed orders and closed all the windows.

Jiang Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, leaned over to the window, and stared outside through the crack of the window.

That's right, that's right, she did not admit the wrong person, it was indeed Chen Dachang.

How could Chen Dachang be in Jiangnan?

Is Chen Dachang not dead?

Even if he survived, he shouldn't have appeared in Jiangnan.

Jiang Yan felt uneasy, feeling terrified.

Seeing her former acquaintances, can she still hide her past identity?

If Zhou Jin knew that she was a concubine who had escaped from the palace, would she still be spared?

Jiang Yan clenched her fists tightly, and her palms were already sweating.

Chen Dachang took his young man and godson along on the streets of Jiangnan.

"The scenery here is very different from the capital."

Even women's dress, there are many differences.

Not to mention the local customs, eating habits, climate, landforms and so on.

Withdrawing from the south to the north, these words clearly explain the difference between the north and the south.

Chen Dachang suddenly raised his head and looked in a certain direction.

"Boss, what happened?"

Chen Dachang's current identity is the general manager of the Jiangnan branch of Sihai Commercial Bank. Known as the Grand Master.

Chen Dachang had a half-smile, "If there is nothing wrong with our family, I am afraid there are acquaintances here. Just now I kept staring at our family, my eyes were very hot."

For people like Chen Dachang, the six senses are extremely sharp. Being able to stand out in the palace and get to the top position naturally has extraordinary abilities.

For example, the sensitivity to danger, the sensitivity to the eyes of others.

"This tea house, our house looks good. Come in with our house and have a cup of tea."

"Listen to the chief executive."

Chen Dachang walked into the teahouse first, and asked for a private room on the second floor at a high price.

A group of people went up to the second floor.

Chen Dachang glanced at the door of a certain private room with a half-smile in his eyes.

"Guest officer, the private room you want is here."

"Oh!"

Chen Dachang was quite satisfied, it was just next door.

In the private room, Jiang Yan was already in a cold sweat.

Found it, found it!

Chen Dachang must have discovered her.

Having lived in the palace for so many years, Jiang Yan still has some understanding of Chen Dachang.

This old slave is not so good at other skills, but his ability to recognize people is first-class. As long as you have met people, you will still remember them many years later.

How to do?

Chen Dachang came upstairs, what should she do?

She peeked behind the door.

Chen Dachang went into the private room next door.

She also saw Chen Dachang's godson.

Chen Dachang is very capable, escaped by himself, and brought out his godson by the way.

Jiang Yan gritted her teeth and put on a face mask. Even the veiled hat she hated the most was on her head.

"The tea is full, let's go."

"Is the lady leaving now? Didn't she say she wanted to stay here to watch the lanterns?" The servant girl didn't want to leave yet.

It's a pity that it's rare to go out and not see the lanterns.

Seeing that the sky was about to darken, the lanterns were about to be lit. It's a pity to leave at this time.

Jiang Yan stared, "I'll leave as soon as I say, what are you doing with so much nonsense? Are you the master or am I the master?"

The servant girl pouted and kept silent, deeply aggrieved.

"Just listen to the lady, let's go."

This time, the mother-in-law was rarely on Jiang Yan's side.

Jiang Yan closed the window and peeked at it, which was obviously weird.

She wanted to leave, but the mother-in-law didn't stop her. I just want to see what Jiang Yan sells.

A group of people opened the door and went downstairs.

Jiang Yan almost ran away from the tea house and mixed into the crowd.

On the second floor of the teahouse, a window was opened.

Chen Dachang sipped his tea, watching Jiang Yan's back as he went away.

Jiang Yan felt a gaze behind him, like a shadow, cold and full of danger.

She didn't dare to look back, she just hoped to leave this place quickly.

Today is really unlucky, how could I meet Chen Dachang, the god of plague.

"Boss, do you want to send someone to follow?"

Chen Dachang nodded, "Send someone to follow her to see where she lives. It's really interesting. I never expected to meet acquaintances in Jiangnan."

"The chief executive recognized the other party?"

"Our family is too familiar with that back view. If we are familiar with it, we can describe it casually. Do you think our family can't recognize it? I didn't expect that she didn't die. But our family can come to Jiangnan alive. She is not dead. Not surprising."

Chen Dachang had a half-smile, obviously he had recognized Jiang Yan as the owner of the back view.

After all, they are all old acquaintances in the palace, and Chen Dachang's ability to recognize people is first-class.

It is not uncommon to recognize Jiang Yan by virtue of a back view.

What is strange is that these two people can meet in Jiangnan after many years.

"it's fate!"

Chen Dachang laughed, thinking it was very interesting.

He was already looking forward to the moment when the old acquaintances officially met, and it must be very interesting to think about it.

Jiang Yan didn't find it interesting to meet old acquaintances at all, only felt terror.

As the sky darkened, various lanterns were lit on the street, making the atmosphere more lively.

However, Jiang Yan no longer wanted to appreciate the lanterns and join in the fun.

Now she just wants to go back quickly, hide, stay away from the crowd, stay away from the cold and dangerous eyes.

The servant girl tried several times to stay and wanted to stay longer, but was ruthlessly rejected by Jiang Yan.

"Either follow me back, or get out."

She had a tough attitude, and the servant girl looked at the mother-in-law begging for help.

The mother-in-law said coldly, "Listen to the lady."

A group of people squeezed out of the crowd, got on a donkey cart, and set off for home.

Little did they know, there was already an extra tail behind.

The donkey cart dangled, walking in the alleys paved with stone slabs in the south of the Yangtze River.

The trip was safe and sound, without any accidents, and finally returned to the house in the suburbs.

Back in the familiar bedroom, Jiang Yan's hanging heart finally settled down.

She took a deep breath and wiped her forehead, only to realize that she was already covered in cold sweat. It was sticky and sticky to the skin, and it was terribly uncomfortable.

Jiang Yan told the maid, "Prepare hot water, I want to wash up."

The maid's mouth is so high that she can hang a soy sauce bottle.

Jiang Yan pinched the corner of the servant girl's mouth, "It's really getting more and more unruly. In the past, someone like you..."

"What will happen to a servant like this? The lady said it."

Jiang Yan sneered, "I'm too lazy to tell you, and you wouldn't understand if I did."

If it is in the palace, such a maid is not qualified to enter the palace at all. Even if he was lucky enough to enter the palace, he would have died eight hundred times long ago.

Eight hundred times, eight hundred times!

Soaking in the hot water, Jiang Yan's whole body relaxed.

The atmosphere was good, but she had a nightmare.

In the dream, Chen Dachang came to the door, like a ghost asking for his life.

She was frightened half to death, and woke up alive.

"Ma'am, are you okay?"

Jiang Yan shook her head, "I'm fine."

It must be thinking by day and dreaming at night.

It is impossible for Chen Dachang to really come to him.

Jiang Yan kept persuading herself.

Jiangnan is so big and has such a large population, so you can find someone casually.

"Help me up."

I wiped my whole body clean, and changed into an inner garment made of water machine cotton cloth from North Real Estate, which is extremely comfortable.

What is water machine cotton cloth?

It is said that cotton cloth is produced in the north now, and the loom is driven by water, and the cotton cloth produced is dense, soft and soft, which is much better than the cotton cloth woven by traditional looms.

More importantly, the cotton cloth woven by hydraulic looms is even cheaper.

From the north to the south of the Yangtze River, the cotton cloth can be cheaper by two cents per foot for such a long journey.

It can be seen how low the cost is.

It is heard that the local textile chamber of commerce in Jiangnan is discussing countermeasures, either strictly prohibiting Beidi cotton cloth from entering Jiangnan, or directly purchasing Beidi's hydraulic looms.

In Jiangnan water town, hydraulic looms are very useful in Jiangnan.

Jiang Yan shook her head to get rid of these useless information.

No matter how the Textile Chamber of Commerce decides and how it intends to compete with Beidi Cotton Cloth, it has nothing to do with her.

The Northland is even more distant from her.

She will never return to the Northland in her life.

Now the real killer is Chen Dachang.

What is Chen Dachang doing now?
