The Ji family.

The courtyard where Ji Rongshu is located is an extremely remote courtyard in the Ji family's mansion, and the three-story Gothic building seems to be the residence of European nobles in the last century, with the ancient aristocratic heritage, but it is desolate and desolate.

But in fact, this is indeed the place chosen by the head of the Ji family for Ji Rongshu, far away from the hospitalization and the center of power. Ji Rongshu was thrown here almost as soon as he was born, and this place has all the memories of Ji Rongshu before he was ten years old.

The faint sound of the doorknob twisting was very clear in the silent room, Ji Rongshu stood by the window and looked out, the large seascape reflected his loneliness in the middle of nowhere.

Ji Rongshu always knew that this place never seemed to belong to him.

"Young Master, the Ancestor is just about to let you go over. Chu Qing, who had just entered the door, said respectfully.

Ji Rongshu didn't look back, looked at the sea view outside the window, and said lightly: "When can I leave?"

In fact, this trip back to the Ji family's home was ordered by the ancestor to return Ji Rongshu, and the Ji family usually has to return to their home one month before Chinese New Year's Eve to prepare for the Ji family's biggest festival of the year. The Ji family is a very traditional family, never has a foreign festival, not even the Gregorian calendar, all dates are all using the lunar calendar of country Z, so the New Year Festival is the most important festival of the Ji family.

But this year's leap November, that is to say, there are still more than two months to go to the lunar calendar of country Z, and it is too early to come back, and it is precisely like this that makes Ji Rongshu feel a little uneasy.

Hearing Ji Rongshu's words, Chu Qing said with some embarrassment: "The ancestor said that you can't leave until after the New Year." ”

Hearing this, Ji Rongshu's slender and white fingertips were pointed on the balcony, and the expression on his face became much lighter in an instant, and he paused, and said, "When my father and Xiu Chen came back, did you say anything to my grandfather?"

Not only Ji Rongshu is back, but the head of the Ji family, Ji Xiuchen and Ji Xiuchen, who are also members of the Ji family, and Wen Anning, who is half of the Ji family, are also back, but compared to Ji Rongshu's avoidance of guests, Ji Xiuchen and the head of the Ji family are happy to contact the relatives on the island.

"This ......" Chu Qing already felt a faint cold sweat dripping on his forehead, and said respectfully: "The head of the family and the second young master have seen the old ancestor, but I really don't know what his subordinates said. "He has been following the young master all day long, how could he know the movements in the old man's yard.

Ji Rongshu also had no intention of embarrassing Chu Qing, turned around and gently pressed his eyebrows, and said, "Let's go." ”

He knew that things were tricky from the beginning, but Ye Yunqing was such a proud woman, and he had to give her an upright identity. She bore him a child and gave herself to him, and he couldn't live up to her even the slightest.

Ji Rongshu's residence is the most remote on the island, and it is quite a part of the distance from the main courtyard in the center of the island, and when Ji Rongshu arrived, it was already twenty minutes later.

Chu Qing got out of the car first and opened the door for Ji Rongshu, and at the gate of the main courtyard, an old housekeeper with a somewhat rickety body was already waiting there.

"The eldest young master, the second young master and Miss Wen are here, and the old ancestor is inviting you over. The old butler smiled kindly, but it looked like a dried orange.

Ji Rongshu bowed slightly, in fact, when he was very young, the old housekeeper seemed to be so old, as if he had been just hanging on his breath, but until now this old housekeeper is still so old, old like a weathered rock, although it is already a thousand ravines, but it is still very solid standing there.

The old housekeeper smiled and led Ji Rongshu in.

The courtyard of the ancestors is also very old, the style is somewhat like the courtyard of the capital of the Z country, there is a pot of lotus flowers at each of the four corners of the courtyard, and the center is a large vat of blue and white porcelain, which raises several golden scales. The old man was dressed in a moon-white Tang suit, and he was obviously over seventy years old, but he still looked energetic, and his eyes were still sharp and energetic.

The old man picked up a handful of fish food from the silver plate held by the person on the side and sprinkled it into the tank, and in a blink of an eye, there was a scene of red carp and golden scales competing for food. The koi fish in it are already very large, but they are not crowded in this tank, and they are very lively and cute when they beat the water with their tails and put their heads out of the water.

Wen Anning watched from the side, and said when he saw this: "These carp raised by grandpa are all human, and when I fed them before, I refused to eat them, but now that grandpa feeds them, they are all scrambling to eat them." ”

"It's just your girl's sweet mouth. Old Man Ji smiled, didn't know what to think, and said, "These fish, but it's been a few years." "In fact, the koi fish in the old man's fish tank were raised before Ji Rongshu was born, and it has been nearly thirty years now.

"Grandpa, people are telling the truth. Wen Anning winked playfully and said in a coquettish voice, but there was inevitably a little flattering in her words. Wen Anning is just an orphan girl whose parents died, and all the people who can rely on in the Ji family are Old Man Ji.

Ji Rongshu had already walked not far away, and the old housekeeper opened his mouth to remind him: "Old ancestor, the eldest young master is here." ”

Hearing this, everyone turned around, only to see Ji Rongshu dressed in plain color, a cashmere jacket over his white shirt, washed jeans on the bottom, and his jade white face was clear and quiet, looking several years younger than Ji Xiuchen.

Old Man Ji looked at Ji Rongshu, compared to the rest of the Ji family, Ji Rongshu's noble and quiet aura raised in the golden jade made him love it even more.

The Ji family is too utilitarian.

"Grandfather. "Ji Rongshu saw that Old Man Ji was obviously different from others, compared to the head of the Ji family, Old Man Ji treated the two grandsons equally, when Ji Rongshu had the most sense of existence, only this grandfather could still remember him, so Old Man Ji can also be said to be the only relative in the Ji family in Ji Rongshu's heart.

Ji Rongshu stepped forward and took the fish food plate in the hands of his subordinates and stood on the side of Old Man Ji.

"You kid, you have been walking silently since you were a child. Old Man Ji snorted, but there was still a smile in his eyes.

Wen Anning's eyes lit up when she saw Ji Rongshu appear, but when she saw that Ji Rongshu's gaze did not fall on her from beginning to end, she slowly lowered her eyes.

Ji Xiuchen's attention on the side has always been on Wen Anning, how could he not notice Wen Anning's emotional changes, but he is not qualified to say anything to Ji Rongshu about such a thing. Ji Xiuchen nodded to Ji Rongshu and said, "Big brother." ”

Ji Rongshu nodded and did not speak.
