Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 37 Another name?

The first time I saw Ji Wuyan was in the night of Zhongyuan. This girl directed and acted in a play that was not very good, and even full of loopholes, so the little girl couldn't understand clearly.

She is a woman who is a little clever but not very wise.

This was Ning Xiuyuan's first impression.However, that surname... made him a little concerned, so he took advantage of the affairs of Fengchenju and the Yang family to test it again, and by the way disturbed the muddy water in the apparently calm pool of the imperial capital.

Cold, rational, and proud, with the shrewdness of a businessman in his bones, every gain and loss is clearly calculated, and he is so delicate that he is almost meticulous. This is Ning Xiuyuan's later impression.

Shrewdness is the essence of the Ji family, while delicacy is the inheritance of the Shangguan family.

The Ji family... has too many secrets, and it is rare for a descendant of the Ji family to appear, so Ning Xiuyuan naturally wants to find out.

But, seeing each other this time, it was different.Some... interesting.

So, by accident, she agreed to the old lady's so-called "care", and even broke the silence when she saw the gate of the White Mansion approaching.

He said, "Miss Ji...since we've met each other for a while, there's no need to call her 'Master Ning, Master Ning', it's too unfamiliar...Why don't you call me another name?"

The deliberately lowered voice is more confusing than Fuxiqin's chants.

Ji Wuyan lowered her head and twitched the corners of her mouth, never meeting Ning Xiuyuan's gaze, "Master Ning was joking, we... are not really acquaintances, but just a few encounters, my little girl really dare not." Going over the line."

"Furthermore, you are my lord emperor, and it is most appropriate to call him 'Lord Ning'."

"The old lady asked me to take care of you. She also said that she asked you to treat Bai Xing as your elder brother... Bai Xing and I are brothers. If he hears you being so respectful and polite to me in the future, he might think that I did it on purpose. Putting on airs... If it is because of this, it will not be good to have a relationship with me..."

Bai Xing, who was sneaking somewhere with Lu Jiangjiang, sneezed loudly, sucked his nose, and looked up at the sky. There was no wind, no clouds, and it was sunny... It doesn't seem like the weather is cold...

Ji Wuyan only felt pain in his head, but he really didn't understand how calling him "Lord Ning" would affect his brotherhood with Bai Xing?

If you really want to commit a crime, there is nothing to worry about.

She bit her back teeth again, endured the throbbing of her temples, and asked patiently, "Then... what Lord Yining meant, what should my little girl call you, so that I won't cause you and your brother Bai Gongzi to become estranged?" Woolen cloth?"

Obviously, he was gnashing his teeth, but he still looked docile and bullying.

It really looks like a kitten with teeth and claws.

"I just heard from you that there is an elder brother, and now the Bai family and Bai Xing are also counted as one. I happen to be the third one. I thought it would be appropriate for you to call me third brother, but it's just that you don't want to come because of your temper. "Ning Xiuyuan looked at the gate a few steps away and stopped, looked down at Ji Wuyan, his eyes flickered darkly, "No, just follow Bai Xing and call me... Third Master."

Third brother?

Thanks to Ning Xiuyuan's words, Ji Wuyan can be sure that if he dares to call Ning Xiuyuan "Third Brother" in public, he will instantly become the target of the entire Yanjing City!

He knew that he couldn't shout out no matter what, it just seemed like he was going for the next best thing, and it was hard for him to refuse the "second" after he backed down.

Really every word has some thoughts.

"Although my daughter came to Yanjing City for the first time, I have heard about the name of the third master of Ningguo Duke's Mansion... Even the identity of Mr. Bai wants to call you the third master. How dare my daughter go up there. It's just that the adults looked at the old lady. The little girl dared to follow Mr. Bai and call you, Third Master Ning."

As she said that, she bent down and gave a slight salute, "Master Ning, you go first, my little girl is here waiting for Miss Shen and the others."

Although the title has been changed, the etiquette is still considerate, and the demeanor clearly wants to distance himself from himself... Ning Xiuyuan saw everything in his eyes, but he also knew that the rabbit was in a hurry. Biting, I can't wait to find out the secrets of the Ji family from Ji Wuyan...

He just nodded, "So, let's take a step ahead." Then, he turned and left with his hands behind his back. When he went out, he looked back and saw Ji Wuyan bowing his head and saluting.

The edge is exhausted.

It's just... How many people can match the sharpness of breaking gold and cracking stones in the majestic piano sound at that time?
……

Ji Wuyan stood inside the door and waited for a while, but before Shen Luoxin and Ruoshui came back, she asked the servant, and said that she had just watched the two go to the small lake. The location by the small lake.

Ji Wuyan was stunned for a moment—that direction was not the direction from the door to the flower hall. If something was really lost, it would absolutely be impossible to throw it there. Searching around the house like headless chickens.

Thinking of this, Ji Wuyan didn't look any further, just thanked her, and went back to the carriage to wait. After a while, Ruoshui came out talking and laughing, followed by the thoughtful Shen Luoxin.

"The weather is very hot. I think you will have a drink when you come back. Here, one cup for each... The sour plum soup made by Ziqiu is truly amazing." Ji Wuyan pushed the two of them before ordering the carriage to go back to Fengchenju.

Shen Luoxin seemed a little hesitant to speak, but because of Ruoshui's presence, she opened her mouth, but didn't say anything.

Ruoshui, who had retrieved the jade pendant, seemed to be in a good mood, and talked a lot more than usual, from the magnificence of the Bai family, to the rumors about the Bai Xing, to the entrance of Fengchenju, there was still something to say.

……

White House.

Lu Jiangjiang really wanted to go to the flower hall to see the excitement. After all, Ning Xiuyuan had already gone, so it must be right for him to follow.But he was really lost, even to an unknown corner, and he didn't even see a servant who could lead the way.

By the time Bai Xing found him, he had given up struggling and prepared to sleep under the tree.

Lu Jiangjiang was thinking about the flower hall, but Young Master Bai obviously didn't want to go there anymore. The hot, sticky, almost eager eyes of those girls on him made people feel extremely uncomfortable.

The two went back to the waterside courtyard to drink.

After drinking for three rounds, Bai Xing talked about Fengchenju's Ji Wuyan, shaking his head and laughing, "I thought Fengchenju was praised too much, but now I feel... just this one song deserves all the praise. It's just a pity, I don't see it , those eyes are... seductive."

Lu Jiangjiang swayed leisurely with half a jar of wine in his arms, shaking his head and thinking, he was obviously drunk, and his voice sounded like a dream, "If you want me to say... I'm afraid no one can compare to that person in terms of appearance and charm. .”
