Of course, Ji Yao didn't know that Song Shiyi Lang secretly beat Xiao Jiujiu, and she returned to Ji's Mansion after explaining the matter of Gu Shenyi, Xiao Liang's family was not at home, and Mrs. Tai did her best, and she had already started complaining a few days ago. She wondered, what is there to fight for such a broken family, the house slaves in charge of three or four hundred people are considered to have glory on the face, and now there are less than forty slaves up and down the family, and they can't get it on the table at all, what is the point of Mrs. Tai being in charge?
Probably people are too idle, and they have to find something to do.
Ji Yao has been very idle recently, she can have the kung fu to pick up the needle and money work, embroidering a handkerchief in her hand, thinking of the mandarin duck she saw in the third lady's house in the morning, she called the manager and asked: "In the past few days, has Lord Wang of Xiaowei been home, or has the third sister gone out?"
The steward shook his head, the people guarding the gate were all his cronies, and he would not miss any visitor's information, nor would he forget which master of the family went out.
"That's it, no matter who comes to find the third sister recently, they can't say that they can't say it, and the reason is that you can make it up at will, and you really can't push it on me. If the third sister wants to go out, she is not allowed to go out, and I am also responsible for it. Ji Yao made up her mind to force her sister, and also forced the people who circled around the Ji family.
The third lady didn't want to think about it, those people flattered her to please her, was it really just because she was good-looking? She would marry as the nominal niece of the Song family in the future, taking advantage of the Song family and Ji Yao, and she would also play with her careful thoughts, Ji Yao would be cured, so as not to cause trouble to herself in the future.
Although the manager didn't quite understand, he still nodded in response.
Within ten days, the third lady was detained as a bird in a cage, and she couldn't fly out if she wanted to, her wings fluttered and fanned on the bird cage, she was so anxious that she couldn't sit still, she came to find Ji Yao, and when she entered the door, she didn't speak but cried, and only after crying enough did she complain: "Why doesn't Sister let me go out, all over the house, the second sister runs to Jingyihou all day long, and Sister Ah is too, she can go wherever she wants." I'm the only one with a low status, and even the minions who guard the door have to look down on me. ”
"Who said you were low? Who looked down on you, say it, and I will be angry for you. Ji Yao asked rhetorically, "It's also for your good not to let you go out, it's messy outside, whoever you want to see, you can also be in the house, and the garden in the west is also flat like a thing, although it is almost winter The trees are yellow, and the flowers are gone, but the pavilion and water pavilion are all available, and they will not be slow to treat guests." ”
"But you're blocking them from the door. The third lady blurted out, quite resentful.
Ji Yao looked at her sister quietly, this was the first time their sisters had quarreled in their lives, different from the quarrel with the second lady in the past, she and the third lady really had a disagreement.
"It's all some subordinates who are in charge, why did I let them in, which family's Langjun wants to come to the door, Jifu welcomes it with an open door, not only me, but Mrs. Tai must also be happy. Ji Yao deliberately mentioned Mrs. Tai.
The third lady was a little empty, and withdrew her gaze from her sister. She was also thinking, why didn't those Lang Jun come to the door in person, and others didn't care, why didn't Wang Shilang hear from him.
Thinking of this, the third lady's cheeks were slightly red, and she weakly put forward a message, "I want to send someone to send a letter to Brother Wang, I don't know if it's feasible?"
"It's feasible!" Ji Yao replied simply, thinking that Wang Shilang was in the mood to pay attention to you at this moment, and even if he treated the third lady sincerely, even if the third lady really wanted to separate from herself, she would happily find a way to tie the marriage line for the two.
Ten days have passed, and the third lady sent someone to send three letters, all of which were her henchmen and maidservants who went to Wang's house to act as messengers, and even once handed them into Wang Shilang's hands, but the people still didn't show up, and they didn't send back a word.
She was doing needlework in the house day and night, and she was about to fall down, and she firmly believed that her vision was right, Wang Lang was not not not coming, but the time had not come.
*****
Ji Yao got up early to go to Liang's house, and heard a joke on the road: it was said that the Shangxiao guards in the capital gathered to gamble and drink flower wine at night, and when the Son of Heaven was urgently summoned, half of the high-grade commanders did not even wear hats, and they were untidy, drunk, and drunk, and the queen mother was furious on the spot and ordered to punish the commander of the guard.
Pumpkin has nothing to do recently, and he is not at home all day long in the teahouse in the market, and when he talks about the queen mother's anger, it seems that he has seen it with his own eyes, and his every move is vivid.
Ji Yao pursed her lips and smiled, flicked the pumpkin's little head, and said softly: "After returning home today, you and your mother will pack your luggage and go back to Luoyang, if you don't leave, the weather will get colder and colder, and it will be difficult to snow on the road." ”
Pumpkin winked and said he was reluctant to go.
"Go ahead, bring him a letter for me, and say that I'm all right, and don't worry. Ji Yao looked out of the car and said softly.
The pumpkin almost shed tears, he was really reluctant, from childhood to adulthood, the girl didn't treat him like a master and a house slave, more often like a sister hurting her brother, she wanted to leave him a copy of any good thing.
Anu shook her head and was so happy that the little plague god was finally leaving, and she set off a cannon to celebrate.
Pumpkin is so angry, he is a little man who doesn't fight with a little woman, hum!
When he got out of the car, the tearful little pumpkin was grabbed by someone on the top of his head, and the tears he held back flowed down.
"What, are you really crying?" Song Shiyi Lang was very amused, loosened the pumpkin's bun, took out a piece of plum candy from his sleeve and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Brother!" Ji Yao sighed, Song Shiyilang's itchy hands and troublemaking problems just can't be changed, and being a guest at the Liang family is so impertinent.
Song Shiyi Lang patted the pumpkin's little head and explained with a smile: "I'll talk to Jingyihou about something serious, what about you?"
"Talk to Sister Liang. Ji Yao looked at Song Shiyilang, who was walking side by side, and a thought came to her heart, and asked, "Brother, you come to me in a while, I have something to tell you." ”
Song Shiyi Lang was surprised for a moment, Ah Yao had something urgent to say in the Liang family. However, in this era, the prevention of men and women is not very strict, and the entrance control of the front and rear houses is relaxed, as long as there are slaves around them, it is common for noble men and women to meet and drink and feast at will. He nodded in response, and followed the Liang family steward to the outer study.
Ji Yao went to Liang Hengli's room and pounced on it, and heard the maid say that she wanted to be quiet for a while, so she went to the lake alone to relax.
There was a faint fragrance in the room, Ji Yao sniffed hard, and asked, "It's still the Xiao family's incense, a little bit is really durable." ”
"It's not. Liang Hengli's maidservant Yew replied, smiling and said, "Those have long been used up, Mrs. Xiao came to visit Mrs. a few days ago, and when she left, she put down a large box of incense, which is enough for a few years." ”
It was not Xiao Shu, but Mrs. Xiao, who was unexpectedly Ji Yao.
The Xiao family is really interesting, holding Zhong Ying, the big Sikong beloved daughter, with one hand on the other, and on the other hand, sending incense and protecting flowers, trying his best against Liang Hengli, which one will be true?
Ji Yao walked through the small leaves with colorful leaves, a thick layer of dead leaves rustled under her feet, and a few presumptuous laughter in the distance reached her ears, she looked at the past, Liang Hengli and three or five concubines and sisters stood in a pile, looking as if they were blocking the way.
"Big lady, ouch, look at your clothes, a lot of work has been put into them. It's really hot, one day you don't want to wear it, let my little Siniang try it out. "This is a favored concubine of Jingyi Hou talking, she has a son and two daughters, and her son was born immediately after Liang Hengwen, the two are only one year apart, and they have also grown into a half-grown teenager who can be good at martial arts.
"Sister, you don't agree, but say it. The other girl in the room chuckled.
The other person covered his mouth and smiled: "You are really confused, if only she could talk...... Sister"
"What are you doing?" Ji Yao really couldn't listen to it, and walked over to save Liang Hengli.
It was not of much use, and the concubines and concubines present dispersed in a hurry.
What happened today is not an accident, after Liang Hengwen was injured, there was a buoyant atmosphere in this mansion, and I am afraid that Jing Yihou will not be able to suppress it.
Liang Hengli's momentum as a concubine can't be used at all, even if she speaks clearly, it's useless, if Brother Ah survives, he will become crippled, and the position of the son of the world will change sooner or later, and her and Ah Niang's confidence will only get weaker and weaker in the future.
She waved her hand and sat weakly on the stone bench, the clothes she wore were so wide that she couldn't see the shape, her cheeks were sunken, her eye sockets were deep, and she could no longer find the bright and beautiful beauty of the past.
"Sister", Ji Yao half-hugged Liang Hengli's shoulders to comfort her, but it seemed to have little effect.
After a while, Liang Hengli held Ji Yao's hand tightly, as if asking her if she had ever been to see her brother, but what was the use of seeing it. Brother closed his teeth every day, and when he drank water and took medicine, he had to pry open his mouth with a few strong men to pour it down, and it was useless for Ah Yao to go, he closed his ears and rejected everything in the outside world.
"Sister, you have to get better, Brother Liang is injured and can't protect you, so you will protect him. Ji Yao was moved by Liang Hengli's situation, and made up her mind to do something, she walked out and said, "Don't go anywhere, wait for me here, someone wants to see you." ”
Running to the stream, she almost slipped on a piece of moss, and her body was so out of control that she fell to the ground, and one arm helped her. Ji Yao looked up and saw that it was Xiao Shu who was carrying one hand on her back and only supported her with one arm.
Seeing her stand up straight, he also let go of his arm, smiled and nodded, and his smile was like a spring breeze blowing through the cordial warmth.
Because of Zhong Ying's relationship, Ji Yao didn't have a good impression of Xiao Shu, but she didn't reject it, and the two separated after greeting each other.
******
Song Shiyilang, who had just finished discussing business with Marquis Jingyi, was startled by Ji Yao in a hurry, thinking that something was wrong with her, and followed her footsteps to the back house, and when he was about to reach the lake, he couldn't help but ask: "A-Yao, what's wrong, panic." ”
"Brother, Marquis Jingyi is not a concubine, then you and the Liang family can also marry. Compared with the Wei family's lady, the Liang family's sister is more virtuous, and her inability to speak is only temporary. Brother, would you like her all the time? She's always liked you, maybe she'll get better if you go. Ji Yao said Liang Hengli's thoughts for the first time, and she hoped that Song Shiyi Lang could help with this.
Song Shiyilang stood in place and was slightly stunned, he saw that no one on the left and right leaned over and said: "I never thought of marrying the Liang family, according to the current situation, it is a matter of course to make friends with the Marquis of Jingyi, and there is no need to marry the daughter of the Liang family in one more move." ”
"Brother", Ji Yao tugged at his sleeve and begged, "You went to talk to Sister A, not for anything else, just for the good treatment of their brothers and sisters in the past few years, and the Liang family's brother took care of the cousins and nieces in the Teaching Division." You don't have to make a commitment to her, as long as she can speak, it's a good deed. ”
Seeing that she said pitifully, Song Shiyi Lang sighed, his stupid cousin, when he was scheming, he was not lost to an adult, but he was stupid and bubbling.
He stared at Ji Yao's pleading eyes, and said helplessly: "Okay, just this time, I don't care if it has an effect." ”
Afraid that Song Shiyi Lang would play tricks, Ji Yao half-pushed him forward. Walking across the small bamboo bridge and through the withered flowers, Song Shiyi Lang stopped in the deciduous forest and refused to move forward. Ji Yao pushed him, he reached for his back and pulled Ji Yao out, pointing not far away for her to see.
After mottled dead leaves, Liang Hengli sat with her head slightly hooked, a strand of broken hair between her temples was blown, and her thin figure looked particularly pitiful.
Her side Xiao Shu picked up a fallen leaf in her hair for her, and didn't speak, just stared at Liang Hengli, with love written in her eyes.
Xiao Shu is like a rich god of the moon, and he can be regarded as the first son of the family in Beijing. He thought how he treated Zhong Ying, and Ji Yao had also watched from the sidelines, but he was not as affectionate as in front of him.
It is said that the heart can't deceive itself, and the eyes often betray a person's true emotions.
Ji Yao is a precocious person, she has experienced the first prince's affection for her by the nurse, and she also knows that Liang Hengwen can't expose his emotions when he is facing her, and Han Qi, every time he looks at her, he can't wait to look at her.
Xiao Shu treats Zhong Ying more like a student facing an exam paper, and is not even as interested in Ji Yao as Zhong Yi.
She chuckled in her heart, with the Zhong family here, what should she do about this.
Over there, Xiao Shu half-squatted in front of Liang Hengli's lap and didn't know what he was talking about, and the hem of his clothes was swept on the ground and covered with dust. I don't know which of his words moved Liang Hengli, she raised her head to look at him, and Xiao Shu nodded.
Song Shiyi Lang pulled Ji Yao out quietly and said with a smile: "It's better this way." ”
Ji Yao was silent, perhaps!
After coming out, sitting in the car, only two of them brother and sister, Song Shiyi Lang handed over a few pieces of rune paper and the hexagram of the warlock, and said casually: "I found someone to make it up, saying that your life is hard and it is not suitable to marry early, but I hope to make the Zhong family retreat." But don't take it to heart, Brother I can't come up with a next step. It was not as easy as expected to go against the Zhong family, and the Liang family was helped by him to the side of the saint with one hand, once he had a different heart, he said that the fall was not so bad. Brother is also because of the alliance with the Zhong family, and he asks himself if the Liang family is closer to him. ”
Ji Yao took the hexagram, her face was full of sorrow, she was not worried about her future, she was worried about Song Shiyilang's situation.
Song Shiyi Lang smiled bitterly, lifted the curtain and looked out of the car, the capital guards carried a sword past their car, he had never liked the affairs of temples, and he was forced to be trapped here.
"Ah Yao, it's not a bad thing that someone can treat you sincerely, if you have the chance, follow Ah Qi. You want to be rich and let him fight for you, you want peace, let him lay a peace for you. Song Shiyi Lang lowered the curtain, his voice was low and deep, and his words were firm.
Ji Yao was very surprised, Brother Ah had always disapproved of the matter between her and Han Qi, and suddenly changed his mind, could it be that something big was going on outside.
The mountain rain is about to come, and the wind is full of buildings, Song Shiyi Lang clasped the jade wrench on his finger without saying a word, and his expression was far away.
Thousands of miles away, Han Qi rubbed his feverish ears, it must have been Brother Song scolding him behind his back again, Ah Yao's ears weren't so burning when he thought about him.

Ji Yao paid too much to the third lady, so she was even more careful, and she also wanted to pull a hand to make a final attempt
