Zhong Yingzhen can't fight with her cousin for the sake of green clothes, maybe after the guests leave, A-Niang will punish her, but she dropped two teardrops, A-Niang was distressed, and kneeling in the ancestral hall to punish copying scriptures has become a joke.

She has been away from the capital for many years, and she wants to make a stunning appearance with the rare treasure fire avoidance beads, so that everyone knows that the Zhong family A Ying is still the most dazzling girl in the capital. I have planned in my heart, today I want to win the limelight in front of the two daughters of the Ji family, and I was confused by the second lady's light sentence that the beads are fake, Zhong Ying was annoyed and ashamed, she didn't think that the green clothes did anything wrong, but felt that this maid was indeed loyal and reliable.

The three girls froze on the ground, and the green clothes were hovering outside the bead curtain at the door of the bedroom with a red sandalwood box containing fire beads, as if they didn't want others to know where she kept the treasure.

When Ji Yao and the others came, the fire beads were taken out by Zhong Ying early in the morning and put on the table, and as soon as they entered the door, they didn't have time to drink the tea and show off her baby to everyone.

Ji Yao tugged at the sleeve of the second lady and took her out to enjoy the flowers, even if she didn't come out, she saw Zhong Ying with a black face and wanted to give an eviction order.

The second lady was holding back a fire in her heart, she was only a month younger than Ji Yao, so she didn't say anything in her heart, she was all about Sister A's long and Sister A's short. Zhong Ying is her cousin, she never calls Sister A, why do she have eyes on the top of her head, and treat her inappropriately. She couldn't swallow this breath, and as soon as she got out of Zhong Ying's yard, she shook off Ji Yao's hand and said that she was going to find her aunt to comment.

This stubborn donkey lost his temper, Ji Yao couldn't stop it, the good words were exhausted, and the second lady ** said: "Sister, you are afraid of being involved, you don't have to follow." Anyway, this matter is a private matter between the two nieces of the Liang family, and outsiders don't need to get involved in it. ”

Ji Yao was so angry that her heart, liver and lungs hurt, and she was busy working together for a long time, she was not a person inside and out. Really, when she's willing to take care of other people's.

"Go ahead, and don't blame me for not reminding you if you turn around and get punished. "Ji Yao is angry, and what should be mentioned is still to be pointed out.

The second lady didn't take the punishment to heart, but she thought that Ji Yao was verbose and reached out to cover her mouth with a handkerchief, and said impatiently: "I know, after talking for a long time, Sister will also find a place to rest for a while." After speaking, she was full of confidence and asked Mrs. Zhong for comment.

Ji Yao looked at the walking posture of the second lady striding meteor, and sighed secretly, just now when she persuaded the second lady, a touch of green clothes swept past them not far away, and also walked in the direction of the Zhong family's main courtyard.

Zhong Ying's wicked person sued first, and the second lady didn't get much benefit from taking advantage of it, not to mention that she also had a place to lose.

Ji Yao suddenly felt very tired, and said that she would go out as a guest, and see what she had done for most of the day, and she had never drunk a sip of tea, she instructed the maid next to her: "You go and help me get a pot of tea, and send it to the pavilion in the garden, don't forget that it is the hexagonal pavilion next to the bamboo forest, I will wait in the pavilion." ”

Ah Xiu saw that the girl's face was tired, probably because she wanted to be alone for a while, and she didn't say anything anymore.

Ji Yao left everyone behind, walked to the depths of the garden alone, bypassed the lotus pond, passed through the twists and turns of the deep rockery, and finally she came to a large pavilion lined with green bamboos.

In fact, just now, she could have put down her face to coax Zhong Ying to be happy, and she could also help the second lady turn the shape around, but she didn't want to. When she was not sensible, she always hoped that she would grow up one day, and when she really grew up and faced many hardships, she hoped that she could be willful and coquettish like when she was a child and said that A-Yao would not do it.

Thinking about it along the train of thought, she naturally recalled her grandfather's family and her parents who had passed away for many years, and the bits and pieces about them came to her heart, full of warmth and warmth, Ji Yao snorted lightly and found that she had unconsciously shed tears, she hurriedly took out a brocade hand, and when the hand that wiped her tears was raised in mid-air, a strange and nice voice behind her asked, "What's wrong with you?"

It was a man's voice, Ji Yao turned her head in shock, raised her hazy teary eyes to see the person clearly, a few steps away a young man stood with his arms crossed, his long eyebrows flew up, his eyes were as blue as the sky, although he had only seen two sides of his eyebrows, he still remembered it vividly, not to mention that Han Qi had a temperament that was very different from that of a noble son in the capital, cold and sharp, like a sword out of the sheath, which was unforgettable.

He pursed his lips and stared at her to ask for an understanding, Ji Yao was surprised: "It's you?"

Han Qi raised his eyebrows in reply, slowly walked through the bamboo forest to Ji Yao, and said quite unhappily, "Why are you crying again?"

This was the second time he had seen her cry, the last time she faced him with tears in her eyes in Wan'an Temple, she was calm and calm, with a hint of ruthlessness in her eyes, but once Ji Yao's fragility was seen in Han Qi's eyes.

Xu is weather was too hot, her little face was so white that there was no trace of blood, her expression was panicked as if she had nothing to rely on, and she was timid the moment she turned around, her eyes were full of tears, Chu Chu was pitiful, and it was no different from the delicate women that Han Qi had seen before.

She was always crying, and he was not happy.

Ji Yao wiped away two tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, neither denying nor admitting it, and asked softly, "My brother is here too?"

"Brother Song didn't come this time, he was fine. Han Qi's speech was short and concise, his voice was like a clear spring out of the valley, the quality was clear and floating, and it was clear.

Ji Yao glanced up at Han Qi's throat, wondering how his voice had changed so much in just a few months?

Han Qi saw that the dark eyes were dripping, and he smiled childishly, "I have taken the prescription prescribed by Doctor Gu, and it has only been three days, and it has become this voice." ”

He didn't mention that it was okay for Doctor Gu, but after mentioning it, Ji Yao thought that Han Qi was still a wanted criminal, and offered a reward of hundreds of gold, and I heard that the daughter-in-law of the Gu family moved back to her hometown in a sad way, and everyone in the house was talking about If Doctor Gu was still in the capital, the saint would not have died so early.

"There are announcements and portraits posted at the gate of the city, how did you get in?" Ji Yao showed a little curiosity.

Han Qi raised his chin proudly, and took out a crumpled piece of paper from his arms for Ji Yao to see, "What does the person on this painting look like me, saying that his voice is like a night owl, and your voice is so ugly when you listen to me." ”

The face of the person on the painting is terrifying, and there is a fierce look in his eyebrows, it is not very similar to Han Qi, Ji Yao shook her head, she originally wanted to say that your voice was not particularly ugly before, but this kind of unintentional words really couldn't open her mouth, thinking that she was going to laugh.

Seeing Ji Yao smiling slightly, the corners of his eyes were crooked, Han Qi's eyes lit up, and he took a step closer and asked, "In that room just now, you were really good-natured and allowed to be bullied." ”

In which house, Ji Yao was confused, and after she figured it out, she was even more surprised, "You were also in Ah Ying's yard just now?"

She found out that he was wearing the gray short shirt of the Zhong family's servant, the cuffs and trousers were a lot shorter, and the top was extremely ill-fitting.

Han Qi leaned on a green bamboo pole with a casual expression, "Brother Song asked me to do a serious thing and inquire about your current situation by the way, but I have been busy and have no time to go to Ji Mansion, I originally wanted to find time to see you in the past few days, but I met you at the Zhong family." ”

Song Shiyi Lang only said that he wanted to know how his cousin was doing, but he didn't say anything to let Han Qi sneak into Ji's mansion, and it was all pumpkins who instigated him to say that the girl had a hard time in the Guogong Mansion, she didn't need ice in summer, there was little charcoal in the house in winter, and she usually lacked clothes and clothing, and three meals a day were only enough to fill her stomach, and Mrs. Tai and the Diao slaves in the Zhenguo Mansion were looking for trouble and provoking......

That miserable, hearing this, Han Qi was suspicious, and planned to take a look at Brother Song in person.

Ji Yao's heart fluttered, she and A Xiu made an appointment to meet in the pavilion, estimating that they should also come, but she didn't dare to let others see Han Qi, she turned her head and walked to the depths of the bamboo forest, and beckoned the people behind her: "Follow me." ”

The Zhong family had been here too many times before, and Ji Yao was as familiar with this place as her own home, and walked along the almost unrecognizable path in the bamboo forest to a high wall, outside the wall was the back street of the house, if there was wind and grass, Han Qi could turn out of the house in a short time with kung fu.

The person in front of her was in a hurry, her skirt rustled across the grass, and her sideburns were flying with green silk, she looked back from time to time to see if he could keep up, Han Qi wanted to laugh and held back his laughter, he knew that she was doing this more than half of the time for Brother Song. In fact, it's all of them, it's just that Han Qi doesn't want to admit it.

"If the business is done, you leave the capital as soon as possible, and when you go back, it's okay to tell Brother Sù and I, so that he doesn't have to worry about it. "Ji Yao is serious and speaks like a teacher.

Han Qi sneered, his expression was full of urgency, he didn't tell her that he had been guarding the Zhong family for three or five days, and he had a clear understanding of the terrain and environment here, and he didn't tell her that he and Brother Song were doing a big thing, not just a big thing that lost his head.

"You ......" Ji Yao was a little annoyed, a person she didn't know why she thought about him everywhere.

"You know so well, when will the dagger you took me last time be returned? It is my father's relic, and there is no reason for outsiders to take it. After Ji Yao finished speaking, she turned her head to leave.

Seeing that she was leaving, Han Qi stretched out his long arm to block it, and grabbed her little hand in the palm of his hand, the tentacles were delicate and cold and soft as boneless, like white feathers crossing the bottom of his heart, as if he had done something wrong, he hurriedly let go of his hand.

Ji Yao was angry, this person was really, she didn't have time to spend time here with him, glared at him fiercely, and planned to leave.

"I'll pay you back. Han Qi shouted, seeing the light person in front of him, he turned his head with a little reluctance.

Ji Yao turned around, Han Qi took out something from his arms and stuffed it into her palm, lowered his voice and said, "Someone is coming, I'll leave." I didn't bring your dagger this time, so taking this one first is my return gift. ”

He was only a stone's throw away from her, and when he got close to Ji Yao, he could see beads of sweat on the bridge of Han Qiji's straight nose. She was extremely uncomfortable with being so close to a strange man, and subconsciously took a step back, and at Han Qi's serious look, he no longer smiled, but stared at her intently, his eyes were as blue as the sea, as if he had never seen her before.

Ji Yao lowered her head when she was watched, and when she heard Han Qi say that I went, she swept the afterglow to others walking along the wall in the direction of the outer courtyard, and she didn't look back at each other neatly.

Suddenly, Ji Yao was holding a hot potato in her hand, she was wearing a thin shirt in the summer, where should she hide things, and she thought about coming out for a long time for fear that Ah Xiu would be in a hurry, so she bit the brocade with her teeth and tore it into a long rope, which was used to tie the dagger to the calf under the skirt.

After doing this, she went back to the small pavilion outside the bamboo forest along the same road, Ah Xiu looked around outside the pavilion with an anxious face, and when she saw Ji Yao coming out, Ah Xiu almost cried, "Girl, something is wrong, why are you still hanging out." The people who haven't seen you for a long time have a heart for themselves, for fear that you will also have an accident. ”

"What's the matter?" Ji Yao felt that she was not surprised if she encountered anything again today.

"The fire beads were stolen, and the green clothes were killed in the bedroom of the Zhong family girl, bleeding all over the ground. Ah Xiu had palpitations when she spoke, patting her chest and glad that the girl came out of the room early in the morning.

When Ji Yao arrived outside Zhong Ying's courtyard, the inner and outer three floors were full of people, and the courtyard was full of crying. Mrs. Zhong comforted her frightened daughter, ordered that no one was allowed to enter or leave, and sent someone to Jingzhao Mansion to report the case, and sent her powerful henchmen into the palace to complain to the Empress Dowager Ji.

Busy and chaotic, Ji Yao and the others couldn't leave the house at this moment, for fear that the entourage would carry the real murderer, the daughter-in-law of the Zhong family led them to rest in the guest house, and waited for news after dinner.

Ji Yao later heard that there were nine bloody characters written on the snow-white walls of Zhong Ying's room - Pearl-stealing Killer Huaibei Han Qi!
