Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 968 Miss Ji said: Money is tight lately
It's not that he didn't see anything. When they were eating together, when the child was practicing calligraphy in front of him, and when he was touching him, he did see a few wounds on his fingertips. But he always subconsciously felt that children were more lively, and some bumps and bruises were inevitable. In addition, he had been practicing sword so hard these days, even though it was a wooden sword, it was inevitable.

That's why I never asked.

Unexpectedly, it was for carving a hairpin for myself.

The wood was ordinary sandalwood and the carving was unskilled, but Ji Wuyan guessed that before this, there must have been many broken, badly carved, and ugly hairpins discarded in some corner.

This kid! If you treat him well, he will want to hold his whole heart for you, just like holding this hairpin. Ji Wuyan held the wooden hairpin in her arms and said thank you, "Thank you. I like this gift very much... The girl will not forget Ji Feng's gift. It's just not suitable to bring it here. Let's go back and get it after dinner." How could she bear to lie to such a kid, how could she bear to let him feel disappointed?

Sure enough, the kid who just said it was okay, his eyes lit up instantly, "Really?"

"real."

The little guy likes martial arts, although his foundation is a little weak, Ji Wuyan doesn't want him to suffer too much to become a martial arts master, but he has been practicing with the wooden sword for so long, it's always okay to change to a better sword. I prepared it early in the morning, and I wanted to give it to him after getting up, but this kid hurriedly dragged her here when she was sleepy, so naturally she was delayed.

The child couldn't wait any longer, holding his chin and looking at Ji Wuyan, "Then let's eat quickly and go back after we're done!"

"This boy... No wonder he asked me before what kind of gift to give to a girl. I thought he was precocious and had chosen a girl from a certain family." Fortunately, she mentioned a hairpin... But it's true, this boy has always had only one "girl" in his mind. Fortunately, she mentioned a hairpin. If she had said something more complicated, what would this boy do? The old lady shook her head and laughed, "Go after you finish eating. I won't keep you here. The streets are lively today. Have fun. I don't know when I will come back next time... Come over to eat dumplings in the evening."

Before Ji Wuyan could swallow the bun in her mouth, Ji Feng, who was "eager to go home", pulled her out. She hurriedly grabbed another steamed bun in her hand, turned back and said as she walked, "Grandma, money is tight lately, so please give me a bigger red envelope tonight!" After that, she was dragged away, stumbling.

The old lady was left with no choice but to shake her head, indicating that she did not believe a word of it. "She is short of money? No one in the world is short of money, but it is not her turn, Ji Ning'er! Now she is crying poor to an old woman like me... How shameless!" She angrily called out the name on her family tree with her full name, showing great disgust.

Nanny Wang, who always smiled and helped out in the past, now touched the purse with a happy face. After a while, she belatedly said "Hmm?" and asked, "What did you say just now?"

The old lady choked and was extremely angry - what a ignorant look! Just a gold bracelet! Haven't I given her enough good things? Which one is not more precious than this bracelet? But she didn't want it and showed her unwillingness with her own actions! If it came to that dead girl, even if I gave her a piece of grass, I'm afraid she would have to take care of it every day, sheltering it from the wind and rain, watering it, and letting it bask in the sun!

dislike!

The old lady waved her hand and said, "Go, go, go, do your own thing. Don't hang around here, you're bothering me!"

Nanny Wang smiled and put the purse close to her body. She also checked it carefully and patted it. When she was about to leave, she paused slightly and asked hesitantly, "Today is New Year's Eve. Do you want to send some dumplings to the Fifth Elder?" After all, she is an elder of the Ji family. In the early years, they had seen each other in the old house. It was a bit unbearable to see her in such a situation now. The old lady also murmured and sighed, and said softly after a while, "Why mention her for no reason. She almost implicated our entire Ji family... Besides, I said it a long time ago that we don't care about this matter and just let Xiao Ning handle it. Even if Xiao Ning is determined to kill her, I don't care... This child needs prestige to be in charge of the Ji family. If I interfere, it will inevitably make the servants have other thoughts. Besides, keeping her alive now and waiting for her to die a hundred years later is the best ending."

Nanny Wang responded in a low voice, and then said, "This is the kindness of this old servant... I will go and prepare the New Year's Eve dinner tonight."

"Go."

……

Over there, Ji Feng got the first sharpened sword Ji Wuyan gave him, and he couldn't let it go. He held it in his arms all the time, telling everyone he met that it was a New Year's gift from the girl. Not only that, he even held it when he went out on the street. The sword was a little too long and too heavy for him now, but he didn't care at all. He just held it tightly in his arms at an angle, and had to be careful to avoid passers-by when walking.

If you accidentally bump into someone, you should apologize politely, but after apologizing, you have to praise, "This is the sword the girl gave me!"

Ji Wuyan smiled awkwardly at the side, but luckily the child was cute and polite when he apologized, calling her "sister" and "aunt" all the time, so no one really made things difficult for him.

In the end, because he bought too many New Year's goods and snacks, he could not carry the sword anymore, so he reluctantly handed it to Cen Yan behind him. Then he took two steps, looked back, took two more steps, and looked back again... for fear that the sword would grow wings and fly away.

Cen Yan rolled his eyes.

Ji Wuyan was helpless too. If she had known this would happen, she would have given it to him later... She slowed down her pace and asked Cen Yan, "I haven't seen Qingshan for a while. A few days ago, I saw a strange follower following my brother. Where is Qingshan?"

Cen Yan shook his head and said he didn't know, then said, "I haven't seen him for a while. Maybe he was sent out to do some important work. Recently, he was replaced by that guy. He is very dull and has a stern face all day long. He is even duller than Qingshan, and he doesn't even fight with his subordinates... I feel itchy. Don't mention it, I miss him a lot..."

As they were talking about Qingshan, the three of them returned to the gate and saw Qingshan just got off his horse. He didn't look tired, but his face was unusually pale, as if... as if he was injured.

Cen Yan was bold and slapped the man on the shoulder, causing Qingshan to stagger.

Cen Yan stared in astonishment at his palms, which had been lacking in exercise recently and even the calluses on his knuckles were beginning to fade. He then looked at Qingshan, who groaned and turned pale, and then he noticed something was wrong. "What's wrong? How can you be hurt?"

Qingshan shook his head and said no, he just said that he was attacked by a wild beast while out and suffered some minor injuries. Then he saluted Ji Wuyan and left to rest.
