Chapter 6: The Past
"Miss, I think it's better to call the master and tell him, right?"
Chu Qing was pruning flowers in the garden, and turned to look at the woman who was leaning on the wisteria cushioned chaise longue with pearl powder on her face. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
A few days ago, Miss suffered outside thanks to the Fifth Master Zhong, but since it was a matter of the master's request, and the friendship was here, she didn't have to prick up her ears to listen to the root of the wall, but she vaguely heard that the man in the ink robe seemed to be the Fifth Master Zhong, and it was not in a blink of an eye, and the two strange men who entered the door later seemed to be old friends with the Miss, but she had never heard the Miss say that in Los Angeles except for the lady and brother who had never met before, there were people next to her, and she couldn't help but pay attention to it when she should have retreated secretly, and she didn't listen, although the man who had been greeting the young lady was dressed as a rich man, she had never seen such a handsome son, but how could she treat her young lady like thisShe listened to the conversation in shock, but fortunately the young lady coped with it easily, thinking of this, her inner pride could not help but arise spontaneously, and she turned her head to see the young lady lying on the rattan chair and closed her eyes and ignored what she had just said, she sighed as if she was relieved.
"Miss!" Chu Qing's sharp mouth big scissors clicked, "How can the young master of the Jing family be so insidious and cunning when he looks at the back of a talent? He knows the whereabouts of his wife but keeps silent, and wants you to sign a contract to give him his life, and he wants you to go to his Hongmen banquet tonight! Where is this kind and kind to welcome distinguished guests? That is obviously a person with heart and eyes on the tip of his hair!"
Look! Chu Qing, this girl sees this person innocently! He will pretend to be confused, I don't know where in the world there is a thicker person than this thick-skinned!
Yan Jiujiu muttered in her heart, she got up and looked at the angry Chu Qing, and glanced at the pile of scattered broken branches and leaves, "I see where you are pruning flowers and plants? Obviously you don't want them to live, let me tell you that you cut this tea flower..."
"Hmph! Let them bully my young lady, I will cut them! Cut off their lifeline and make them cut off their children and grandchildren, and they will not die well!" Chu Qing blurted out along with Yan Jiujiu's words, a string of words similar to the idiom solitaire.
Yan Jiujiu couldn't cry or laugh, "You save them from being so bad, why do you want to take these flowers and plants out of me, where did you cut off the preserved fruits we got from to eat after a while, and where did you go to enjoy the garden?" Besides, Yan Jiujiu sneered and laughed, "No matter how much you hate people, you can't cut off the root of people's lives, this kind of lack of virtue and damage to yin gong can't be done by the people of our Jin family!"
Chu Qingqi came to her mind, where did she know what she said unconsciously Raushzi, and she slowly recalled it when she heard the words, she touched her cheeks hot, thinking that Xia Yun had dyed half of her little face.
"Miss!" Chu Qing stomped her feet, but the scissors in her hand stopped, "I must call the manor about this matter!
Chu Qing's mind was pure, and the emotions in his heart were written on his face, Yan Jiujiu's fingertips stopped pressing the pearl powder on his face, and sighed: "I know that you are devoted to me, but I can't rely on my family for everything! In the past, I always thought that the press conference held at Dewey Manor that day was my own courage, but when I returned to Los Angeles, I slowly figured it out, if it weren't for the authority of Dewey Manor in the empire on which the sun never sets, the support of Princess Victoria, and the protection of Henry...... Why can't the reporter who was reluctant to fight back against me? Is it taking advantage of the situation to oppress people, but this is difficult to convince the public after all.....
Chu Qing came forward and smacked her mouth, in her opinion, her young lady has suffered a lot since she was a child in this market, and she returned to the manor a few years ago, which is worthy of her name, and those people are just red-eyed and complaining!
At the moment, he exhaled angrily: "It was inappropriate for you to only bring me and Mother Chen here, and now you don't ask me to tell the master about these things! This is a good saying, 'The yellow plum rolls three times when it lands, and the green plum will be broken when it lands', the master is also thinking about you, you are the only eldest lady in Dewey Manor, the heart of the master, if you go wrong again, what should you do if you ask us?"
Yan Jiujiu knocked Chu Qing's forehead when he saw this, and said with a smile: "Silly girl! In your eyes, your young lady is so capable? Isn't there still Zhong Wuye? Father Zhou Quan has already secretly arranged it, you, you..." She nodded at the crying girl again, "I'm not going to die? Do you seem to be crying and mourning and don't you want me to come back?"
"But...," Chu Qing wiped her face and was about to say.
"Alright!" the graceful woman stood up, "Come with me to change your clothes and dress up, it's up to you whether your young lady can dominate the Jing family today!"
"Are you wearing a dress or a skirt today?"
"Jacket skirt, the Jing family is a century-old family, he may not accept all Western culture, it's better to be low-key, but the skirt is not too plain, lest people think we are snubbing...."
Saying that, Chu Qing followed Yan Jiujiu and went up to the second floor.
----------------------
The eldest wife of the Jing family is well-known for her kindness and generosity in Los Angeles, in addition to the newly built mansion of Yan Jiujiu, there are dozens of families living in this Mao'er Hutong, because the night road is dark, the eldest wife of the Jing family actually asked the craftsman to remove the door from beginning to end of the Mao'er Hutong regardless of the installation of a glass-covered street lamp every fifty meters, whenever night falls this Hutong is just as bright as day, the Hutong of Los Angeles is extended in all directions, so those ordinary people who are worried about the thieves are willing to walk from this Mao'er Hutong, and there are grateful people who go to the door of Jing's house to always thank the old man who guards the door, so this night Mao'er Hutong is brightly lit, and the door is like a city。
Yan Jiujiu took Chu Qing and followed the Jing family's big housekeeper on the stone steps of the Jing family's golden pillar gate, she looked back at the end of the alley where the lights were lit, and the lights were empty, she secretly sighed, the Jing family is worthy of being a century-old family, and it has always been consistent in the matter of blessing the people, which is difficult for many people to do.
The pedestrians were in a hurry, and some people looked at Yan Jiujiu, and couldn't help but stop and point to people talking about where this came from, and the distinguished guests actually asked the Jing family to sweep the alley and open the main door, so a grand welcome.
"Miss, I'll help you!"
Yan Jiujiu waved his hand at Chu Qing, smiled on his chin, and walked into the door of the Jing family very dignifiedly.
Yan Jiujiu and his entourage were surrounded by the maid and the lady and led by the chief manager through a few garden view doors, the verdant trees in front of them gradually receded, the scenery suddenly opened up, there was a hole in the sky, the twists and turns of the hand-copying verandah hung with octagonal glazed ink painting lamps, the hazy moon-like light sprinkled on the lake surface exuded a glowing luster, the koi in the water floated and sunk, from a distance it was a picture of a cage in the fairy clouds, but this has not yet arrived at the restaurant, Yan Jiujiu while walking secretly looking at the scenery all the way, carved with bats and flowers hanging down, glazed painted partition door...... Pavilions, strange rocks, everything, and Dewey Manor is indeed comparable, Yan Jiujiu secretly praised, but found that the lights in the east were exceptionally bright, and he couldn't help but look at it twice.
The meticulous chief manager hurriedly said: "Recently, the mansion is expanding, because some work has to be completed overnight. ”
Yan Jiujiu nodded, the mansion of the Jing Mansion lived for a hundred years with their surname, and the light was really far away from her location, it turned out that what she saw so far was only the tip of the iceberg of the Jing family.
"Miss Jin, please!" The chief manager sent Jin Qixuan and his party to a small bridge and stopped, she looked along the fingertips of the chief manager, and saw that at the end of the bridge was a pavilion in the middle of the lake, and there were two men and two women in the pavilion, surrounded by serving maids.
"I'm tired!" she took Chu Qing back and stepped on the small bridge, not far from the lake pavilion is very small compared to this world, although it is not clear to see the appearance of the people in the pavilion, but the brocade clothes and jade silk, the color is very pleasant, but she can't help but give birth to a touch of 'flower red willow green banquet pontoon' melancholy, if the mother is still there.
Although she was melancholy in her heart, her face did not change and her heart did not beat, and she slowly paced to the Huxin Pavilion, the blurred faces of the four people gradually became clear, Jing Shilang She recognized it when she turned into ashes, and it was naturally his parents who were sitting, who was this one over there?
She looked at it and couldn't help but exclaim, "Mother!"
The elegant woman showed no surprise, as if she already knew it was her, she pinched her handkerchief and waved her hand, "Peg! Come and sit down! Don't let your aunt and uncle and cousin wait!"
Yan Jiujiu was dumbfounded, his legs seemed to be stepping on cotton, and he walked to his mother in despair, was the woman with a ruddy complexion and luxuriously dressed as his mother?
She looked back at Jing Shilang again, and saw that he had a faint look..... He's always faint!
Look at the husband and wife again, they are all kind and pleasant.
What the hell is going on? Why did she suddenly pop up with an aunt and cousin?
She looked around in a daze, and then stared at Shi Huaizhen in a daze, "Mother...... I thought you were ..... I thought I'd never see you again!"
Saying that, she and Shi Huaizhen hugged each other, Shi Huaizhen gently patted her heart and said, "Mother, thanks to your aunt and uncle for taking care of ...... over the years," he said, letting go of Yan Jiujiu and pointing at Shi Yunlan and his wife: "I have never mentioned your aunt and uncle to you..... Mother herself young parents died, no other relatives in the family, standing alone, that day there are nobles in the clan to the grange, the mother is planting seedlings with the aunt next to him, but the noble man saw that he couldn't bear to bring my orphan girl to this Los Angeles Shi family, since then I have been with your aunt, and then I met your father......" Speaking of this, Shi Huaizhen and Shi Yunlan were a little moved, "Our ancestors and your aunt's lineage are originally neighbors in the same bay and have no blood relationship..... Your grandfather regards me as his own, and I have a share of what Yunlan has since I was a child, but your grandfather has already driven the crane westward, and the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop..... Now there is no way to repay ....."
Tears fell as she spoke, and Shi Yunlan was also teary in her eyes, and the old man Jing Ming'an couldn't stand it anymore, and hurriedly said: "Qixuan finally came back today, what are you two crying for?" Shi Lang.... Talk to your cousin...."
After that, he beckoned the maid to pass the food.
Yan Jiujiu is now innocent in her heart, she doesn't know that her mother and the Jing family still have such a relationship, but why is Jing Shilang's mother so angry at the door of Mi Xing that day, which must be a deep estrangement, as for how to turn the war into jade silk after that, she doesn't want to know......
Some things are just between saying and not saying.
She sighed, and squinted at Jing Shilang in a blink of an eye, although she was not related by blood, how could the person she didn't like to see become her cousin?
Thinking about her, she looked at him carefully, wearing a sapphire blue three-dimensional tailoring suit, already with a long figure, this ingenious version lined him like a fairy boy who was not stained with mortal dust, she swept the stitches with her eyes, it was very clean and neat, I don't know which hand it came from?
Thinking about it, she secretly looked at herself again, wearing a two-gold hundred butterflies wearing a flower, water and blue brocade cross-placket skirt, and the lifelike golden butterfly seemed to be about to fly under the light.
She secretly sighed to herself, although they are the same color, how do you look at it, how do you not match like a golden boy and a girl!
How could she suddenly think of such a mess!
While stroking her head, her gaze stayed on a line of small words under Jing Shilang's breast pocket, and she felt a little familiar, but it seemed like .....
“Lily.Kim!”
Isn't that her name? The clothes she makes have the designer's name written on them.....
She watched her mother and the three of them talking and laughing, and quietly leaned towards the casual Jing Shilang and asked, "Why are you wearing the clothes I made!?"
"Of course you did it. That Jing Shi Lang said slowly.
Yan Jiujiu glared at him angrily, seeing that his complexion was as quiet as the stars of this moon, and his heart was even more angry.
"How did you find out about me?"
Jing Shilang looked at Yan Jiujiu's hostile eyes, and only felt more interesting, she was always so alert and intelligent....
"The clothes you make are well-known at home and abroad, and I have no reason not to wear such good clothes, right?" he took another sip of wine, reached out and put some stir-fried beef with sauce into Yan Jiujiu's plate, "Eat more meat, and you don't look like a woman at all when you are so thin." ”
"You ....." Yan Jiujiu always felt that there was something in Jing Shilang's words, "You don't talk about the topic, you know that my mother is fine, why do you want to lie to me?"
She shoved the piece of beef into her mouth and chewed it hatefully.
"Will you come back then?"
The moonlight is like a wash, Jing Shilang didn't look at Yan Jiujiu when he said this, he looked at the moon lightly with a wine bottle, as if raising a glass to invite the bright moon, the melancholy water blue seemed to be full of loneliness, only rushing to his face, Yan Jiujiu was a little sad.
Lonely? She shook her head, how could he be lonely? How could Wen Xiang Nephrite be lonely all day long?
"Do you care if I come back or not?" Yan Jiujiu smacked his lips and said, "I live a chic and comfortable life on days when the sun never sets!
"Chic and comfortable?" Jing Shilang suddenly turned his head and looked at her seriously, "And that Henry?"
"How do you know about Henry?" Yan Jiujiu exclaimed, "You sent someone to check on me again?"
"Have you forgotten that we still signed a one-year contract?" Jing Shilang suddenly smiled and sandwiched some more dishes for her.
"You... You...."
Yan Jiujiu was angry and stuffed Jing Shilang's food into her mouth, and she gritted her teeth and chewed, as if it was Jing Shilang in her mouth.
She really can't wait to cut him with a thousand knives and break his body into thousands of pieces!
Thinking that she slapped Jing Shilang's chest with a slap, this undoubtedly attracted the attention of the three mothers.
She was stunned for a moment, no matter how dark Jing Shilang's face was, she gently stroked Jing Shilang's chest while squeezing the smiling faces of the three elders opposite, and said, "Cousin, this dress was designed by me, I didn't expect him to wear it like this....."
"Oh..... There is such a coincidence in the world, this is really fate!"
Shi Yunlan smiled, and her mother and Jing Mingan also nodded with satisfaction.
Gratified?
Yan Jiujiu thought about it, but a faint voice came from his ears, "I didn't expect my cousin to have such a habit?
Yan Jiujiu turned around, only to see Jing Shilang's gaze resting on her hand that was caressing his chest, she suddenly understood, and quickly withdrew her hand as if she had been electrocuted.
There was a low, shallow laugh in my ears.
"......" Yan Jiujiu was so ashamed that he just wanted to find a hole to drill down at the moment.
