Nine-fold lotus of the famous family

Chapter 583 Shi Yong returns to Beijing and meets his cousin for the first time (1)
In August, the weather was getting hotter and hotter. It was at this time that Shi Yong finally brought Hai Lanzhu and his son to Shangjing.

After Princess Minfu and Ji Chongyu got married last year, the King of Xiliang left Shangjing. Shi Yong also asked someone to send a letter to Hai Lanzhu's mother and son, but Hai Lanzhu replied that he did not want to come to Shangjing.

Shi Yong discussed with Ji Chonglian's siblings again, and then decided to rush back to Xiliang in person. He finally persuaded Hai Lanzhu to come over, but he still didn't dare to tell her the truth along the way.

Shi Yong's current status is the head of the bodyguard of Princess Minfu, so he naturally moved to live in the Ji residence next to the general's mansion.

For Hai Lanzhu's arrival, Princess Minfu specially asked someone to clean up a side courtyard for them to live in. In the two courtyards, the outer courtyard is for Shi Yong to handle affairs, and the inner courtyard is the residence of their family. Spacious and comfortable.

After Hai Lanzhu and her children arrived, Ji Chonglian also wanted to visit them, but she couldn't find a reasonable excuse. After much deliberation, she decided to write a letter to her eldest aunt Ji Minghui in Danyang, maybe waiting for them After the party came to Shangjing, her relationship with Hai Lanzhu also made some progress.

Princess Minfu knew Hai Lanzhu well before, and I heard that before Hai Lanzhu got married, she was Princess Minfu's female companion for a period of time, and she only served Princess Minfu in Xiliang's court. Learning all kinds of court etiquette, even those boring female reds and spells, the relationship between the two is both friends and sisters, which is naturally much closer than ordinary people.

Hai Lanzhu was also very happy to see Princess Minfu again, but her attitude became a little restrained when she saw Ji Chongyu. Obviously she was still resistant to Daning people, at least she would not take the initiative to contact and communicate with them.

In the yard where their family lived, even the maids and daughters were from Xiliang, and the people from Daning were always excluded.

Shi Yong also had a headache about this situation, so he couldn't help but come to Ji Chonglian to discuss whether he should confess his identity to Hai Lanzhu in advance?

"It's not the time yet."

After careful consideration, Ji Chonglian still denied Shi Yong's idea, "Anyway, my cousin has just arrived in Shangjing, and she is still living next to us. If you say that, I'm afraid she will return to Xiliang immediately, and maybe she will return to Xiliang soon. Wouldn't come here, wouldn't my cousin regret it for the rest of his life?"

"Although that's what I said, it's not a solution to procrastinate this day after day," Shi Yong sat on the bench annoyed, with his hands inserted into his thick black hair, his face was irritated, "It's not like you don't know Mother's temperament, this letter has been sent back to Danyang, I'm afraid they will go to Shangjing soon, I'm afraid that the people who can't bear it will be replaced by them."

"Besides, there is still a risk for me to stay in Shangjing. Although Princess Minfu will protect me from being harmed by Xiliang, I am afraid that Hai Lanzhu will learn the truth from others. At that time, she will only Blame my deceit, I am afraid you will never forgive me in this life!"

This is what Shi Yong is really worried about will happen, so his mood is more urgent than anyone else.

Ji Chonglian pursed her lips, "Then... how sure is big cousin?"

Shi Yong glanced at Ji Chonglian and sighed: "To be honest, I'm only [-]% sure. After all, we have been husband and wife for so many years. After all, we have some affection. I know her temperament. I would rather Fragmented jade is not complete... But we met many Daning people on the way to the capital, all kinds of people, some good and some bad, Hai Lanzhu even taught a lesson to save a woman who was whipped by her husband I thought about that man, so I think she didn't completely reject the Daning people, what she hated was the war that took her brother's life!"

Ji Chonglian took Shi Yong's words and followed him: "The men who fight are all men, but women are on the side of the weak, so she will sympathize with women, regardless of national boundaries and races."

Shi Yong raised his eyes abruptly, and his eyes burst into brilliance, and a bold proposal popped up in his mind, "It's my cousin who thinks clearly, if... if you tell her the truth, will you Would it be easier for her to accept?"

"This……"

Ji Chonglian suddenly felt a little embarrassed, "I'm not familiar with my cousin, if I tell her as a stranger, I'm afraid it will arouse her disgust..."

Hearing what Ji Chonglian said, Shi Yong immediately became depressed again.

Ji Chonglian sighed in her heart, and said again: "However, during this period of time, I will find a way to get acquainted with my cousin, and when she no longer rejects me, I will find a suitable opportunity to talk to her about it. ?"

Shi Yong nodded in surprise, "This is the best."

He really didn't want to hide anything from Hai Lanzhu anymore. The couple faced each other day and night, and keeping such a secret in their hearts was undoubtedly a torment for him.

In fact, he was also afraid of the consequences if the facts were revealed, but he couldn't hide Hai Lanzhu's life and deceive the one he loved, and he would never feel better.

Now that she agreed to Shi Yong's matter, Ji Chonglian had no choice but to take active actions. Fortunately, Princess Minfu cooperated with her, and everything went as if it was really an accident and a coincidence.

On this day, Ji Chonglian took Sister Shuang to Ji's residence, and also brought the crushed smoothie she made by herself. In the hot summer, eating a spoonful of crushed smoothie mixed with fruit juice will cool down from the skin to the bottom of the heart. The feeling is undoubtedly a kind of enjoyment.

Sister Shuang was hungry all the way after walking, her eyes looked at Ji Chonglian pitifully, almost drooling.

Ji Chonglian smiled and gave Sister Shuang a look, and said: "Don't forget what we are here for today, if you can become good friends with Meng Sha, mother will cook better food for you in the future!"

"Mother, don't worry!" Sister Shuang's eyes lit up, and she immediately patted her chest to reassure: "Isn't he my cousin? I will let him, I will never bully him, and I will make him happy. From now on, come and play with me on your own initiative!"

Ji Chonglian pinched Sister Shuang's little face, "Sister Shuang, be good, if it is true as you said, I will reward you when I go back!"

When it came to Princess Minfu, Hai Lanzhu was there with her child, and she was surprised to see Ji Chonglian for a while. She who was still sitting hurriedly stood up, and pulled Meng Sha back to the side.

"It turns out that my sister is here!"

Princess Minfu looked at Ji Chonglian with a flash of eyes, and greeted her with a smile, "And Sister Shuang, Aunt misses you so much!" Then he hugged Sister Shuang for a long time. .

Ji Chonglian smiled and said: "I made some crushed smoothies in the room, and I brought you some because it was too hot. Unfortunately, you have guests here." She looked at Hai Lanzhu calmly as she spoke. Come.

She was wearing a sea and sky blue long dress with tulle on the outside, like water mist floating on the sea, giving people a hazy feeling. Hai Lanzhu's face was round and her eyes were big It was very dark, with bright red lips, and there were even two faint dimples on both sides of her cheeks. Maybe when she smiled, the dimples were deeper. She was as youthful and unrestrained as a girl, and she couldn't match the maturity and beauty that Ji Chonglian imagined.
