Jie a husband is too arrogant

Chapter 91

After entering the teahouse, the waiter greeted him, "Both of you?"

Lan Zhihui nodded slightly, raised her skirt and walked upstairs.

Qin Xiang asked, "Did the two young masters come in just now?"

"Yes, yes, do you know each other?" the boy asked.

"Yes! Where are they?"

"At Jingzhuxuan, the younger one will lead the two up." The waiter smiled and led the two upstairs.

Several people went up to the second floor, and at a glance they saw Xiao Lie standing at the window of the corridor looking out.

Behind the tea house is a plum grove, which is just in bloom at this time, and the snow that falls at noon, falls on the six-petaled plum blossoms and turns into tiny ice crystals, which are brilliant and sparkling, surpassing thousands of beautiful scenery.

Xiao Lie and Su Jiu came here, attracted by the plum forest, they were standing here talking and admiring the scenery.

Lan Zhihui straightened her temples, pursed her red lips, walked up behind the two of them, lowered her head slightly, showing an elegant profile, and said softly, "What a coincidence, I met Your Highness."

Before she could finish her sentence, a clerk next to her was carrying a pot of hot water upstairs, with one foot on the last step of the wooden ladder, when suddenly a man came over from the opposite side and said in a panic, "Get out of the way, out of the way, Get out of the way!"

Like wolves, jackals and leopards chasing after him, he pushed the boy's shoulder and ran downstairs.

The little guy was pushed unexpectedly, his body was tilted, and he tripped over the foot that was still on the stairs, and he jumped forward, and the pot of hot water in his hand was splashed forward. go out.

Standing opposite are Su Jiu and Lan Zhihui, and behind Su Jiu is Xiao Lie.

Hearing the sound, Xiao Lie turned around and saw a flash of surprise in Lan Zhihui's eyes behind him, but without the slightest hesitation, he pulled Su Jiu into his arms and covered her under her body.

Su Jiu didn't know what happened, so she turned around suddenly.

Lan Zhihui saw that Xiao Lie had found herself, and also saw him protecting the young man next to him. At this moment, hot water had already splashed on her body. She was wearing a cloak, but she didn't feel hot, but the water splashed on her neck , flowing down the neck, shivered from the heat, screamed, and fell to the ground.

"Miss, miss!" Qin Xiang rushed over and hurriedly brushed the water off Lan Zhihui's body, "Are you scalded, where is it?"

Lan Zhihui stayed there in a daze, in a trance, and was extremely desperate for a moment.

Xiao Lie saw her, but he was only protecting the boy next to him, and he never gave her a single worried look...

Why can't we exchange for a memory after all the infatuation?
Lan Zhihui felt desolate, and felt that everything in the world had changed.

"Miss Lan?" Xiao Lie said lightly.

Lan Zhihui got up slowly, raised her head and was about to answer when she looked at the young man beside Xiao Lie, her expression changed drastically.

Su Jiu was also shocked when she saw Lan Zhihui, she didn't expect to meet her here.

Lan Zhihui stared at Su Jiu in a daze. Although she was dressed in a man's attire, and her eyebrows and complexion had changed a bit to make her look more heroic, she was Su Yuejiu!
The woman's mind was in a mess, how could the person with Xiao Lie be Su Yuejiu, how could she know Xiao Lie?
The important thing is to see how Xiao Lie was protecting her just now, the relationship is close, not just ordinary friends!
Seeing that Lan Zhihui's expression was not right, Xiao Lie asked again, "Did Miss Lan get burned?"

He asked a question, but he didn't step forward to help the woman up, it was just a polite sentence.

Then the little guy came over in a panic and helped Lan Zhie get up, "I didn't do it on purpose, Miss, did you get burned?"

Qin Xiang pushed the boy away, and said in disgust, "Don't touch our lady!"

Men and women don't know each other, so the young man just stepped forward to give him a hand, and when he heard Qin Xiang's scolding, he immediately took a step back and said in panic, "Damn it, young lady, as long as you don't get burned, you can beat and scold me as you like! "

Qin Xiang helped Lan Zhihui get up, and took a look at the guy, "How do you walk, if our lady is burned, you will be lightly beaten to death!"

"Yes, yes!" The boy bowed and apologized.

"Qinxiang, don't embarrass him, he didn't do it on purpose, and I'm fine!" Lan Zhihui's face was pale, but she still said dignifiedly and gently, nodded slightly to Xiao Lie, turned and walked downstairs .

Su Jiu looked at Xiao Lie curiously, "Do you know Lan Zhihui?"

Xiao Lie nodded lightly, "I met her a few times when she was still Miss Xiangfu."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and said, "It seems that this is indeed not a place to enjoy the scenery, let's go into the room and drink tea!"

Su Jiu glanced at the stairs again, Lan Zhihui was turning her head to look over, her body was hidden in the shadow of the corridor, her eyes were dark and obscure, when she saw Su Jiu looking over, she immediately turned her eyes, and slowly went downstairs.

Seeing that she didn't follow, Xiao Lie pulled her wrist and said with a low smile, "What the hell, let's go!"

"Oh!" Su Jiu responded and raised her heel.

Lan Zhihui walked out of the teahouse with Qin Xiang's support, her face pale and ugly, looking at the bustling crowd on the street, her eyes became deeper and deeper under the gloomy weather.

"Miss!" Qin Xiang worriedly supported her shoulder.

Lan Zhihui's eyes were gloomy, and she asked in a low voice, "Why is Su Yuejiu with His Highness?"

And she was still dressed as a man, did Ji Yuxian know?
What about Xiao Lie?Do you know Su Yuejiu's identity?
"You are obviously married to the eldest son, but you still seduce His Highness, you have no sense of shame!" Qin Liang snorted coldly.

Lan Zhihui's eyes were filled with snow, cold and cold, if Ji Yuxian knew that his wife was fooling around with men outside, would he pamper her like a baby?
A trace of inexplicable excitement suddenly rose in the woman's heart, wishing she could bring Ji Yuxian here immediately.

Do not!
Not yet, she needs to find a suitable opportunity to let them meet by themselves!
It's sure to be a lot of fun!
The cold light in the woman's eyes sank, and she regained her indifference and elegance, and stepped into the carriage, "Qinxiang, let's go back to the inn!"

……

After the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, it was the Shangyuan Lantern Festival in a blink of an eye.

During the festival, Su Jiu didn't go out. In the morning, she and Ji Yuxian learned to read the account book for half a day. In the afternoon, she went back to Qifengyuan to sleep for a while. After waking up, she drank a bowl of barley and red bean porridge made by the nanny. Madam Fan came in and said, " The Fourth Young Madam is here!"

Su Jiu entered the flower hall, and Chen Yuchan was waiting there, with a maid standing behind her.

The woman was wearing a hazy-colored fine-grained gauze jacket, a plain-colored pleated skirt, black hair tied to her temples, and only a gold and jade peacock-patterned waffle, elegant and beautiful, with a quiet face.
, on the wooden table next to his hand was a mahogany carved food box.

Seeing Su Jiu coming in, she immediately stood up, lowered her head and said respectfully, "My concubine pays my respects to Young Madam!"

"Sit down!" Su Jiu smiled lightly.

Chen Yuchan turned around and opened the food box, took out a gold-rimmed white porcelain plate with both hands, and put flower-shaped pastries with clear colors inside, placed it on the table beside Su Jiu, and said with a gentle smile,

"When I was at home, every Lantern Festival, my concubine's mother would make this kind of plum cake. The glutinous rice was ground into powder. The stuffing is sesame and white sugar, jujube paste and sweet-scented osmanthus. My mother said that after eating this plum cake, it will go smoothly for a year, and I specially made it for the young lady today, and I hope that the young lady will be happy for a year."

The woman spoke in a gentle and calm manner, her voice was soft and soft, and it was very comfortable to listen to.

The nanny hurriedly said, "The fourth young lady really has a heart!"

Su Jiu took a glutinous rice cake and put it in her mouth. It was soft and smooth in the mouth, with a moderate sweetness.

"Well, it's delicious!" Su Jiu laughed and said sincerely, "Thank you!"

Chen Yuchan shyly lowered her head, "Young Madam, as long as you like it!"

A servant poured tea, and Chen Yuchan brought it over and took a sip, then looked up at Su Jiu, "The street is very lively today, young madam, do you want to go to enjoy the lanterns at night?"

Su Jiu asked, "What's the fun?"

Chen Yuchan thought for a while, then smiled, "There will be lantern festivals, lantern riddle guessing, and lion dance juggling. Lantern riddle guessing is the most interesting, and you can get some prizes if you guess right."

Su Jiu looked at the sky outside, it was almost dark, she rolled her eyes, got up and smiled, "Then let's go now!"

Chen Yuchan froze for a moment, "Now?"

"Yes!" Su Jiu pulled Chen Yuchan out, "The road will be difficult to walk when it gets dark, so it's just right to go there now!"

Even if she was afraid of the dark road, she was clearly afraid that Ji Yuxian would not let her go out when it was dark. Ji Yuxian didn't know about it, and he couldn't find anyone when he went out.

She took big steps, Chen Yuchan usually took small square steps, how could she walk so fast, she was grabbed by her, and trotted all the way.

"Young lady, slow down, it's just evening, we'll be there in time!"

Just as the two of them left the door, Ji Yuxian happened to be walking towards him, with a sound of red toga, with a graceful posture, his black hair shining with rays of light, and his handsome face was charming.

Chen Yuchan stopped immediately, because she was walking in a hurry, her face was flushed, and she greeted her with blessings, "I have seen the young master before!"

Ji Yuxian's phoenix eyes lightly swept across the woman's face, and when they landed on Su Jiu, his eyes immediately softened, "Where are you going in a hurry?"

Su Jiudao, "Go out, don't come back for dinner tonight!"

"My lord, the young lady and my concubine are going out to enjoy the lantern festival!" Chen Yuchan explained softly.

"You are not allowed to go out without eating!" Ji Yuxian squinted his long and narrow phoenix eyes, with a smile on his lips, but his tone was domineering. Without waiting for Su Jiu to stare, he turned to Chen Yuchan and said softly, "Young Madam is not going, and you Go back to the hospital!"

Chen Yuchan immediately lowered her head, and said meekly, "Yes, I will resign!"

As soon as Chen Yuchan left, Su Jiu tilted her head and looked at the man coldly, "Did you say that I would be restricted by you when we cooperated?"

Do you want him to promise you when you go out?
When did she become his servant?
Ji Yuxian didn't seem to see the girl's angry face. He took a step forward and his tall body encased the girl under him. Junyan smiled and said in a pleasant voice, "There are many people on the street today, restaurants and even food stalls on the street are crowded. It’s full of people, where do you go out for dinner now?”

Su Jiu glanced at him, "I ate the plum cake, I'm not hungry!"

"Then you can't go out!" The man turned his back to the light, and the shimmering sunlight hit his side face. His facial features were handsome and three-dimensional, which was extraordinarily good-looking.

"You!" Su Jiu raised her head, looked at him angrily, and stretched out her hand to push him away. He wouldn't let her go out, but she wanted to go out anyway.

The outstretched arm was held by the man, and he gently moved it into his arms, hugging the girl full, lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead, and said with a low smile, "You are going out with others to enjoy the lanterns, who will accompany you later?" husband?"

Su Jiu was startled, raised her head and said, "Are you going out too?"

"As long as Madam is eating and doesn't get angry, let's go watch the lanterns, how about it?"

Su Jiu chuckled, and gave him a blank look, "It would have been better to say no earlier!"

Ji Yuxian lowered his head, kissed her lips lightly, and murmured, "Madam won't give me a chance to speak, if she gets angry, she will scare people to death!"

The warm breath sprayed on the eyebrows and eyes, even the heart was itchy, Su Jiu raised her eyebrows, "You deserve it!"

This sound of anger and anger fell in Ji Yuxian's ears, and half of her body felt numb, her eyes dimmed, and she picked her chin and kissed her down.

The two stood outside the gate of Qifengyuan, and the servants of Ji's mansion who came and went on the road avoided one after another. Jin Feng stood in the distance and shook his head, complaining in his heart, "My lord, if you don't fall in love, you'll be in heat everywhere.

After dinner, the two went out to watch the Lantern Festival on the street. As soon as the carriage left, Xie Yingren and Chen Yuchan also went out together.

During the Lantern Festival during the Lantern Festival, boudoir women who don’t go out much on weekdays, ladies and wives can go to the streets to enjoy the lanterns.

Xie Yingben sent someone to ask Ji Yuxian to go out together, and the servants came back to report that the young master and young lady had gone out.

Xie Ying's face was ugly, and she lost her temper with the servants, just when Ren Zhi'er came over, after persuading them for a while, the two were going to go out of the house together, when they went out, Ren Zhi'er suddenly said, "Invite the Fourth Young Madam!"

"What do you want her to do? She's a boring gourd. I get annoyed when I see her!" Xie Ying said with a cold face.

"My sister took us to watch the lanterns to show that you have the style of a mistress, unlike some people who only care about themselves and don't have the demeanor of being a mistress." Ren Zhier said flatteringly, then curled her lips and smiled, " Besides, if we meet Young Master on the road, Young Master might even praise you for your courtesy and magnanimity!"

These words are not close to the edge, Ren Zhi'er is talking nonsense, but just wants to bring one more person, so that Xie Ying will not be angry on herself.

But Xie Ying was delighted by Ren Zhier's flattering words, nodded and said, "Then call her here too!"

Chen Yuchan was afraid of Xie Ying and didn't dare not go, so the three of them went out together.

When we arrived at the street, there were already a sea of ​​people, all kinds of small vendors lined up on both sides of the long street, and the loud shouts of the stall owners were full of joy.

The ladies who usually don't go out all went to the street, riding sedan chairs and carriages, passing through the bustling pedestrians, the scent of fragrance blowing on the face, refreshing, attracting the men on the road to look at the carriage and yearn for it.

The most common lanterns on the street today are lanterns. Ordinary ones are made of paper and bamboo strips, expensive ones are made of colored glaze and silk.

Fireworks are blooming in the distance, and the trees are full of fire and silver flowers. They are gorgeous and dazzling, reflecting the festive smiling faces of passers-by, creating a prosperous and peaceful scene.

Su Jiu huddled in front of a lamp stand for guessing lantern riddles, watched others guessing lantern riddles, and gradually saw a little trick, and followed Queque to try.

At this time, the stall owner took out an eight-faced glazed lotus lantern and said loudly, "Everyone, thank you for your support. If you guess ten lantern riddles correctly today, the most expensive lotus lantern this year will be yours!"

The lamp has eight sides, painted with various auspicious patterns such as fairies, bats, flowers and plants. When the candles in the lamp are lit, the pictures on the eight sides begin to rotate slowly, colorful and amazing!
The crowd cheered and cheered.Su Jiu looked at the lamp with clear eyes,

Already ready to wipe the palm of your hand.

"Want that lamp?" Ji Yuxian asked with his head lowered while protecting the girl in his arms.

"I want to!" Su Jiu nodded, wanting to try even more, but she just learned characters and didn't read many books, so she might not be able to guess ten lantern riddles.

"Go if you want, I'm here!" Ji Yuxian smiled.

Su Jiu nodded, "Okay!"

At this time, many people have already gone up to guess the lantern riddles, and those who love to be lively are counting along. If they make a wrong question in the middle, they will be out of the game.

Su Jiu walked under a boat lantern, raised her hand and pointed, "This one!"

The boy immediately took out the note under the lamp and handed it to Su Jiu.

"Abandon the past after saying goodbye." Type one word.

Su Jiu rolled her eyes and immediately said, "Modest!"

"Congratulations, you got the first one right, please choose the next lantern riddle!" The boy put away the note and said with a warm smile.

Su Jiu chose another rabbit lamp.

"There is a mustache under the mouth", still typing a word.

This time it was easier, Su Jiu said without any hesitation, "Just"

"Correct answer, two answers! Please choose the next one!"

Ji Yuxian followed behind Su Jiu, seeing the smug expression on the girl's face, his eyes shone brightly, and he smiled deeply.

Su Jiuzheng was full of confidence, but frowned when she saw the third lantern riddle she had chosen.

"Water is not clean"

Ji Yuxian's long eyes glanced at the girl's pensive eyebrows, and he lightly drew a few strokes with his hand around her waist.

Su Jiu suddenly said, "Army!"

"Miss is smart!" The boy sighed and laughed, "Three questions are over, please choose here!"

It means that it is going to be enlarged!
With Ji Yuxian, Su Jiu stepped forward without fear.

The two passed five levels and killed six generals, and guessed seven correctly in one breath. The young man sang loudly, "Miss, please choose the last three questions!"

When he said that, everyone looked over.

The last three questions?It means that the eighth one has already been guessed, so amazing!
The first three questions are relatively easy, but the latter ones become more and more difficult. Some people guess five or six questions, which is already considered good.

Going up a step, there are ten lamps hanging on it, none of which have been removed, waiting for Su Jiu to choose.

Su Jiu raised his hand to choose a square lamp.

The little guy read aloud, "Question [-]. The crescent moon keeps rising to the clouds"

Su Jiu pondered deeply.

At this time, because at the end, even the shopkeeper and the lantern riddle guessers were watching them, Ji Yuxian couldn't help her anymore under everyone's gaze.

"Throw it away!" Su Jiu rolled her eyes and blurted out.

The crowd applauded!

Subconsciously, Su Jiu turned her head to look at Ji Yuxian, seeing him looking at her with long eyes, she smiled and nodded.

Su Jiu pursed her lips and smiled, and turned around to choose the ninth question.

"Ninth question, the spring water flows, the lights are dim, and the moon is in the sky, and the autumn is cold"

"Bai Dingxiang!" Su Jiu said immediately.

There was a burst of applause around.

"Please choose the last question!" said the boy.

At this moment, the stall owner also turned around, looking at Su Jiu expectantly.

For the last one, Su Jiu chose a carp lantern.

"The last question!" The little boy made a long noise on purpose, cleared his throat, and muttered, "We welcome guests from the north and the south in Beijing, type one word!"

Su Jiu was stunned for a moment, lowering her eyes in thought.

The people around also thought about it, some of them seemed to have already remembered it, and their faces were stunned, while others were like Su Jiu, frowning.

As time passed, Su Jiu still couldn't figure it out.

Ji Yuxian's expression was indifferent, and he was not in a hurry. The girl practiced calligraphy with him for a month or two, and she could guess so many, she was almost a "child prodigy". He knew that Su Jiu wouldn't care too much if she could guess the last one. .

Seeing that Su Jiu didn't guess it, the people around couldn't help but sweat for her, secretly anxious, it's the last question, it would be a pity if they didn't guess it.

However, no matter how noisy the surroundings were, Su Jiu kept her head down and thought quietly, without any anxiety in her eyes.

"Miss, did you guess it? The time is almost up!" the stall owner said kindly.

The little guy also looked at Su Jiu regretfully, and was about to read the answer when he heard the girl yell, "Gong!"

When the sound came out, the surroundings fell silent. Standing behind the girl, Ji Yuxian slowly pulled a begonia-like smile from the corner of his lips, looking at the girl's side face with burning eyes.

"Miss is really smart!" Before the boy could speak, the stall owner stepped forward, took down the eight-sided glazed lamp himself, and handed it to Su Jiu respectfully, "Miss, this is yours!"

Seeing Su Jiu and Ji Yuxian's demeanor and clothes, the stall owner knew that they were not ordinary people, so he happily and kindly gave the lamp away.

"Thank you!" Su Jiu smiled, held up the lamp and raised her eyebrows at Ji Yuxian.

Wait for the beauty to be like jade, and smile sweetly.

Ji Yuxian held her hand and left the lamp stand under the envious eyes of everyone.

After walking two steps, Su Jiu gave Ji Yuxian the glazed lamp in his hand, "Here!"

Ji Yuxian raised her phoenix eyes, "Give it to me?"

"Yeah!" Su Jiu stuffed the light pole into Ji Yuxian's hand, and said with a smile, "The two of us won it back, and this light belongs to you!"

Holding the lamp, Ji Yuxian chuckled, leaned over and whispered in Su Jiu's ear, "It doesn't matter who gives the lamp, anyway, you are mine too!"

Su Jiu's heart skipped a beat, and she raised her eyebrows and looked at him.

Regardless of still being on the street, Ji Yuxian tilted his head and kissed her on the forehead.

There was a lot of noise around, Su Jiu was suddenly a little embarrassed, she turned her head away and pretended to look at the things for sale next to her.

Seeing the girl dodging, Ji Yuxian smiled lightly, this stubborn rock finally opened up a little bit.

Su Jiu saw a mask seller next to her at a glance, picked out an evil mask and put it on, turned her head to Ji Yuxian and said viciously, "Are you afraid?"

The corners of Ji Yuxian's lips curled into a sarcasm, but he looked at Su Jiu with doting eyes.

Su Jiu glared at him, then picked up another fairy's and handed it to Ji Yuxian, "This is for you!"

Ji Yuxian frowned and stepped back, "No!"

"No, no!" The girl said domineeringly, pulled Ji Yuxian over, and stood on tiptoe to put the mask on the man.

Looking at the man's elegant and luxurious figure, but wearing a beautiful female mask, he couldn't help laughing.

Ji Yuxian frowned, and raised his hand to take it off, but Su Jiu hurriedly pressed it down, "Don't take it off, we all wear it!"

After all, he gave the stall owner a few coins and pulled Ji Yuxian to continue walking.

Ji Yuxian only showed a pair of eyes, thinking that he must be crazy to play around with her!
Fortunately, with the mask on, no one could recognize him!

The stewards and shopkeepers of Ji's mansion were probably drinking tea in the teahouse restaurant facing the street, and saw the always dignified and handsome Mr. Ji Chang wandering in the street wearing a fairy mask, a sip of tea could be sprayed ten feet away.Among the pedestrians, one of them was wearing an evil mask, and the other was wearing a fairy mask, walking in the crowd calmly.

After walking for nearly half a street, there was a dragon dance team coming in front of them. The crowd crowded, and immediately sent the two of them to both sides of the street. Su Jiu raised her head and saw that there seemed to be some excitement by the river, surrounded by a large group of people, and walked towards the river curiously. Walking, her figure was light and flexible, and soon disappeared, forgetting that there was another person behind her.

There are two groups of people by the river, one group is a performer, and in winter, they are shirtless and play with broken boulders on their chests, and the group next to them are singing operas. They set up a stage by the river and surrounded many people.

Su Jiu looked at the broken boulder for a while, and felt that it was meaningless, so she went to the side to listen to the excerpt.

Hua Mulan, the heroine sung in an excerpt, practiced martial arts and joined the army to fight against the enemy.

Su Jiuai stood for a while listening to this.

The opera was well sung, and there were more and more people around, blocking his sight, Su Jiu was tired from standing, she glanced at a thick willow with two people hugging beside her, jumped up, and half leaned on the branch to listen to the music Playing is very pleasant.Seeing a seller of melon seeds under the tree, he even bought a bag of melon seeds and listened to it while eating, but he had already forgotten about Ji Yuxian.

Time passed unknowingly, and after an hour, the battle scene gradually came to an end. Su Jiu stretched her waist, looked around, and found that everyone had already left.

It was getting colder at night, the hustle and bustle had passed, the candles were dying, and the pedestrians on the street had gone home, only a few people left.

She should go back too!

Thinking about going home, Su Jiu was startled suddenly, and only then remembered that she didn't come out alone.

What about Ji Yuxian?

Su Jiu hurriedly jumped down from the tree. Just as she was going to look for someone in the street, she suddenly stopped and turned around.

The lights were dim, and the man was leaning on the thick willow where she was watching the play, with the fairy mask on his head, and holding the glazed lamp she had won in his hand. The light was already dim, and the man didn't know he was here How long have you been waiting?
She was watching a show on a tree, and he has been waiting here for her?
Su Jiu's chest was suffocated, and an inexplicable feeling surged up, occupying her heart, slightly itchy, astringent pain.

She walked over lightly, and asked with some guilt, "You've been waiting for me here?"

The man took off the mask on his face, revealing an unparalleled handsome face, and smiled slowly, "Madam is here, of course I have to wait here for my husband."

Su Jiu stroked the mask in her hand, and explained, "I'm sorry, I..."

Ji Yuxian suddenly stretched out his hand to pull her into his arms, holding her tightly, and a deep magnetic voice sounded beside her ears, "Su Jiu, where I saw you, it doesn't matter if you forget me, I'm afraid that one day Day, I can't see you, but you forget me."

Su Jiu frowned and shook her head, "No way!"

Ji Yuxian chuckled, "Master Su must count on what he says!"

"En!" Su Jiu nodded heavily.

"If Madam forgets me one day, she will definitely look back, I'm right behind you!"

Su Jiu felt that Ji Yuxian was a bit strange today, although he would often say some inexplicable things.

After a gust of wind, the lamp in Ji Yuxian's hand went out, he got up and rubbed Su Jiu's face, "It's getting late, let's go home!"

Su Jiu grabbed his hand and smiled, "Go home!"

There were already few people on the street, and the cold wind was getting colder. Su Jiu held two masks in one hand, and Ji Yuxian held the glazed lamp in the other. They clasped both hands and walked slowly towards Ji's mansion.

After the Shangyuan Festival, the New Year's Eve has really passed. Whether it is the nobles and courtiers in the palace or the common people, they all start to enter the busy new year.

And the palace is gradually getting busy, preparing for the three-year spring.

A notice was also posted in Shengjing City, which stated the specific time of the test,

Candidates who meet the conditions for participating in Chunwei can register, as well as various documents required for registration.

The people who participated in the examination were happy and worried. Most of the happy people were students from the Imperial Academy and Baima Academy. The teachers in the college would help take care of everything. I just need to concentrate on studying and wait for the examination to come.What is worrying is that the students of ordinary colleges are not as knowledgeable as the students of the above two academies. The qualifications for the examination will have to wait for the Imperial College and the White Horse Academy to be screened before it is their turn. Can they be recommended by the teacher to enroll in the examination list? Also two said.

The juren who took part in the general examination were not only young people, but even young people under [-] were rare. Many people who passed the college examination and the rural examination were in their [-]s and [-]s, and there were even elderly people in their sixties.

Therefore, the qualifications to participate in the examination are also very important to them.

The topic of the examination has been raging for two days, and students from various places who participated in the examination have also entered Beijing one after another.

The inns of all sizes in Shengjing began to flourish.

The inn where Lan Zhihui and the maid Qinxiang lived also became crowded, with strangers coming in and out every day.

Some students went to Beijing alone to take part in the general examination, and some sons of rich families brought their servants, four or five servants, or followed the housekeeper and book boy. Of course, these people also stayed in the hotel when they came.

During the Lantern Festival, Lan Zhihui also went out to look at the lanterns, but when she came back, she caught a cold and fell ill intermittently for half a month, mainly due to her heart disease.

Just after dinner in the morning, there was a sound of footsteps and noise outside the door, as if someone had come to stay in the hotel again. Lan Zhihui was lying on the bed, with a look of disgust flashing between her brows, feeling irritable, she turned her head slightly to the inside.

After a while, the door squeaked, and Lan Zhihui immediately asked, "Is it Qinxiang?"

"Miss, it's me!" Qin Xiang responded with a slightly hoarse voice, Lan Zhihui was dizzy and didn't care.

Qin Xiang walked to the bed with the medicine bowl in her hand, and said in a low voice, "Miss, get up and drink the medicine!"

Lan Zhihui's face was haggard, her lips were chapped, and she said weakly with her eyes closed, "It's useless to eat it, I don't want to eat it!"

"Miss!" Qin Xiang put the pharmacy on the small table, sat on the side of the bed to help the girl, and persuaded, "The doctor said that the medicine can't be stopped, you should take it, and get better soon!"

Lan Zhihui sighed softly, stood up with her arms propped up, and leaned against the soft pillow behind her.

Qin Xiang pulled the quilt to the woman's waist, bent over to take the medicine.

The medicine was still hot, so she stirred it gently with a spoon and blew carefully.

Lan Zhihui's eyes fell on Qin Xiang's reddened eyes, and she was slightly taken aback, "Qin Xiang, are you crying?"

Qin Xiang hurriedly lowered her head, turned sideways, and said in a low voice, "No."

"You didn't cry, why are your eyes red, tell me, what's the matter?" Lan Zhihui coughed twice, stood up and held Qin Xiang's wrist.

"No, miss, don't ask any more!" Qin Xiang lowered her head and said in a muffled voice.

"What's the matter? Did someone bully you?" Lan Zhihui asked in shock.

"No!" Qin Xiang looked at the medicine bowl and shook her head.

"Don't make me worry, can you? Cough, cough, cough..." Lan Zhihui gasped, and coughed violently while leaning on the bed.

Qin Xiang hurriedly put down the medicine bowl and patted her on the back, "Miss, don't worry, I'll tell you, I'll tell you!"

Qin Xiang helped Lan Zhihui up, poured a glass of water for her to suppress her cough, then lowered her head and said, "We have been brewing medicine in the kitchen these days. Knowing that there are sick people living in the inn, I was afraid that I would get sick, so I checked out, and the manager wanted us to move out, what I said was ugly!"

After finishing speaking, he cursed angrily, "They are all snobbish people, they didn't treat us like this at the beginning, but now they know that Miss is not the owner of Yuyifang, so they changed their face, it really is a cold world!"

Lan Zhihui leaned against the soft quilt, her face turned pale, and she kept silent.

"Miss, don't be angry, it's not worth it to spoil yourself with these little people!" Qin Xiang saw that Lan Zhihui's face was not right, and hurriedly stroked her breasts.

Lan Zhihui had never suffered such hardship. When she was in Yuyifang, she lived in a loft by herself, with a bedroom, a study room, and an embroidery room dedicated to embroidery. All the rooms were decorated according to her preferences. Every decoration is priceless

.

Hundreds of embroiderers and servants in the workshop respected and respected her, courting her everywhere, and everything was appropriate.

When outsiders saw her, they would respectfully address her as Miss Lan.

How could she end up in such a situation now that she has nowhere to say, and is still rejected by others?Feeling resentful in her heart, blood surged up, and the woman covered her lips and coughed again.

Qin Xiang hurriedly brought over the medicine bowl, "Miss, you should drink the medicine first!"

With a strong wave of Lan Zhihui, the medicine bowl was thrown out, fell to the ground with a bang, and shattered.

"What am I doing alive when I'm in such a state?" The woman coughed and shouted hoarsely, then turned around and threw herself on the quilt, weeping.

"Miss, don't do this!" Qin Xiang hugged the woman's arm and cried bitterly, "I blame Su Yuejiu, it's all because after she married into Ji's mansion, the young master became obsessed with ghosts and no longer paid attention to the young lady, so the young lady left Yuyifang, the culprit It's her!"

Lan Zhihui fell on the bed, closed her eyes and said nothing, her face was ashen.

"Miss, you can't give up on the eldest son, you can't give up Yuyifang, these are all yours." Qin Xiang was unwilling to take the place of the master, "I will go to the Ji mansion to find the eldest son and tell him that you are sick. Come and pick up Miss back in person."

"Don't go, I will die, and I won't beg him!" Lan Zhihui said coldly.

"No, miss, you can't die, I'm going to find the eldest son, now!"

"I said, don't go to him!" Lan Zhihui said again, but the voice was not as decisive as before, as if angry.

"Miss, you don't need to worry about it. The servant girl went to tell the eldest son what happened last time and wronged the lady. It is all the servant's fault!" Qin Xiang said, stood up, covered Lan Zhihui with the quilt, turned and walked out.

Lan Zhihui lay on the brocade quilt, her hair was disheveled, tears flowed from her eyes, seeping into the brocade quilt, gradually getting wet.

It happened to be noon when Qin Xiang entered Ji's mansion. Yu Lao took her into the Izuyun Pavilion and said, "Miss, wait a moment, the young master is having lunch with the young lady, the old slave will report first!"

"No need for Yu Lao!" Qin Xiang had a pretty smile on her face, she was more polite than every time she came to Ji's mansion, "Since the young master is eating, the servants should not bother you, and it will not be too late when the young master finishes his meal!"

Yu Lao nodded, "That's fine, then please go to the flower hall to wait for the girl and the old slave!"

"Yes, thank you, Lao!" Qin Xiang smiled sweetly.

Qin Xiang waited in the flower hall for more than half an hour before seeing the door opened and Ji Yuxian walked in.

Qin Xiang immediately knelt down, "This servant is guilty, I'm here to ask the eldest son to punish me!"

Ji Yuxian's complexion was pale, and when the evil face was not smiling, it looked unpredictable. He walked slowly to the main seat and sat down, leaning lazily on the back of the chair, and asked softly, "What's the matter?"

Qin Xiang didn't dare to get up, knelt and turned half a circle to face Ji Yuxian, "My lord, the young lady got drunk at Fang Shu's banquet, it was done by the servant girl, the servant girl thought it was ordinary rice wine, and it was originally given to the young lady Warmers, I didn’t know that it was so strong. And our lady didn’t know about all this. Later, when I saw you angry, my servant was afraid and didn’t dare to say it, so our lady took it on my servant’s behalf. It’s all the servant’s fault, my lord Really wronged our lady."

The man hummed lightly, "I see!"

Qin Xiang was taken aback, and heard the man's perfunctory tone, frowning slightly, so she could only continue, "My lord, our young lady is sick, very sick, living in an inn is not comfortable, and the food is not good, the servant girl looked at her. My heart hurts, so I came here without telling our lady, and I beg you to forgive me, so that our lady can go back to Yuyifang again!"

Ji Yuxian looked up, "Sick?"

"Yes, very seriously ill!" Qin Xiang said immediately.

"Did you see the doctor?"

"Look, the doctor said it was wind-cold, but Miss has been drinking the medicine for more than ten days, but she still doesn't get better. The doctor said it's stagnation in the heart, and the breath is blocked in the chest, so she can't get better."

Ji Yuxian sneered, "Why is she angry? I didn't tell her to leave Yuyifang, but she wanted to leave."

Qin Xiang panicked, "No, our young lady is not angry with the young master, but blamed herself for not taking good care of the young lady that day, and because of a moment of confusion, the young master was angry."

"She really thinks that?" Ji Yuxian smirked, he knew the woman's arrogance all too well, maybe even if she killed her, she wouldn't blame herself.

"My eldest son, our young lady left Yuyifang without bringing anything. Now she is homeless, lying in bed sick, and she is also dismissed by the innkeeper. She has devoted all her efforts to Yuyifang. Now that she has ended up like this, the servant is really distressed! What's more, that It is indeed the servant's fault that Mrs. Ri Shao got drunk, and it has nothing to do with our lady. The servant dares to swear with his life that our lady is really wronged! If the eldest son is still angry, he will drive the servant out and let the lady go back to the workshop Let's go!" Qin Xiang cried sadly.

Ji Yuxian's eyes faded, but after a while, he said slowly, "The position of the master of Yuyifang is still vacant, you go back and tell your lady, if she wants to go back, she can go back now!"

Qin Xiang burst into tears of joy, "Yes, thank you Eldest Young Master for your kindness, this servant will tell Miss right now!"

"Go!" Ji Yuxian said lightly.

Qin Xiang knelt there without moving, and asked cautiously, "Will you not go to see our young lady with my servant?"

"I still have something to do, take care of her!" Ji Yuxian said softly.

"Yes!" Qin Xiang got up a little disappointed.

"Also," Ji Yuxian took a sip of tea and opened his mouth lightly, "Tell her that I let her go back to Yuyifang because of her ten years of painstaking efforts and our ten-year friendship in Yuyifang. I hope she will cherish it." , don’t pay it all in the end.”

Qin Xiang didn't seem to understand, nodded and said, "This servant will definitely tell Miss!"

Exiting respectfully, leaving the Ji Mansion, Qin Xiang hurried back to the inn.

　Thank you for the reward from my friends yesterday, more today!
