Chapter 31: Frightened
When Ji Nianjin thought of this, she didn't know what to do, the more anxious she was, the more the answer in her heart was to play a game of hide and seek with her, so that she couldn't catch it, and she couldn't catch it. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
She knew, she had a gut in her heart telling her that she would soon know the connection, and it was useless to be anxious now.
"Madam, please be relieved, this is the capital, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, those people dare not mess around, besides, I now have an entourage and other officials from the yamen when I go in and out, Madame can rest assured."
Ji Yunlian had a tender face, reached out and held one of Mei's hands, the warm palm, which made Mei's heart settle down, but immediately thought that Ji Nianjin was still by his side, and acting like this would only make his daughter laugh.
Mei Shi hurriedly withdrew his hand and glared at Ji Yunlian.
Ji Nianjin smiled, leaned over, saluted Ji Yun's face and Mei's face, and said:
"When my father goes out in the future, he should bring more people with him, and he should not be careless. The hour was not early, my father and mother rested early, and Jin'er retired. ”
As he spoke, he smiled at Mei and walked out of the main room with Bai Zhi.
Outside the house, Bai Lan was waiting here, and when she saw Ji Nianjin coming out, she hurriedly lit up the lantern and protected Ji Nianjin in the middle with Bai Zhi.
Passing through the corridor on the east side of Qingxin Courtyard and walking towards the back door, the mother-in-law guarding the door respectfully sent Ji Nianjin out of the door and locked the courtyard door.
Ji Nianjin took advantage of the faintly bright lantern light in Bai Lan's hand and slowly walked in the direction of the Hibiscus Courtyard.
At first, Ji Nianjin didn't care, but after walking a distance, Ji Nianjin looked behind her suspiciously, she always felt that there seemed to be something behind her.
"Girl, what's wrong? But feeling cold? ”
Bai Zhi asked, she was also like Ji Nianjian, looking behind her, except for the two red lanterns on the back door of the Qingxin Courtyard in the distance, which were gently swaying in the wind, there was nothing else.
"It's okay, let's go quickly."
Ji Nianjin had doubts in her heart, but wondered if she had too much heart, so she continued to walk indifferently.
In her previous life, she didn't believe in ghosts, but in this life, she could be reborn, so she couldn't help but not believe that there was something in this underworld, although she didn't believe it, but there was still awe in her heart, so she asked Bai Zhi and Bai Lan to speed up their pace, and not far in front of them was a corner of the plum garden.
When you turn around the plum garden, you will see a section of the courtyard wall of the hibiscus courtyard.
In the cold night, the fragrance in the plum garden was more obvious, and bursts of fragrance came, making people smell and be sober, which also made Ji Nianjin feel more and more that there seemed to be something following them behind them.
Ji Nianjin subconsciously turned around, but found nothing, in the clear night sky, the moon was semicircular, bright and shining, which made people see it really.
"Girl, what's wrong?"
This time, even Bai Lan was a little puzzled, she followed Ji Nianjin's example, stretched out her head, and looked at the sky.
"Girl, the moon is half round, and the old lady's birthday is getting closer and closer."
Bai Lan was a little happy, if there is any happy event in the Hou Mansion, those of them who are subordinates will always get a lot of rewards, and after following Ji Nianjin's side, such rewards will be even more.
Bai Lan is not happy because she has been rewarded, but she can bring the reward home, so that her Lao Tzu Niang is also happy, her Lao Tzu is fine, it is her mother, she will be satisfied, her mother is satisfied, she will not be able to have a few days to stop.
"Yes, it's fifteen in a few days, and the old lady's birthday is coming."
Ji Nianjin didn't say anything, turned around, and continued to walk forward, maybe she had been nervous for several days and had a delusion.
There was no more words along the way, and Ji Nianjin finally returned to the hibiscus courtyard.
Entering the main room, Bai Lan and Bai Zhi fetched water and made the bed one by one, and worked hard for a while, waiting until Ji Nianjin was washed, sitting in front of the dresser, looking at themselves in the mirror and stunned.
"Girl, tonight is the slave and maid on duty, what else does the girl have to order?"
Bai Zhi stood behind Ji Nianjin, scattered Ji Nianjin's hair, and draped it straight behind him.
"There's nothing else, just light a lamp and put it here."
"Girl, in recent days, the girl has been much better, and she has not had nightmares like before at night, otherwise, after this period of time, we will also go to the Jing'an Temple outside the city to offer incense, maybe it is the blessing of the Bodhisattva, so that the girl will be better every day."
Bai Zhi was a little happy, as if after returning home from the prince, Ji Nianjin would not have nightmares. She was a maid, of course, she was happy to see Ji Nianjin, first, to thank the Bodhisattva for his blessing, and secondly, to let Ji Nianjin go out to relax.
"Okay, when the house is not busy, I'll go talk to my mother. Okay, that's it, you go and rest too, I'll call you if there's something. ”
Ji Nianjin smiled, Bai Zhi's thoughts, she understood, this girl was changing her way to make her comfortable.
Bai Zhi saluted gently, put down the water-pink veil on the door of the moon cave in the west room, and withdrew.
Ji Nianjin looked at herself in the mirror, although she was still weak, but the strength in her eyes was different, she would definitely not let Sanfang harm the big house again, her father wanted to protect it, her mother wanted to protect it, and she wanted the Hou Mansion to stay away from disputes.
got up, Ji Nianjin was about to go to bed to rest, when he heard the south window suddenly lifted, followed by a slight noise.
Ji Nianjin was startled, and when she turned around, she was frightened by the figure in front of her.
A figure wrapped in black is staring at Ji Nianjin with a pair of big shining eyes!
The face of the person who came was covered with a black scarf, and he couldn't see his face clearly, Ji Nianjin could only see that the person had a pair of rich eyebrows, and eyes that were as bright as stars under the eyebrows.
Dressed in black, the texture is high-quality, and the cuffs and collar are finely rolled with a few circles of patterns. The figure is tall, with only one head, with a white hosta to stand up his hair, and a black purse embroidered with a few green bamboos and a ring-shaped jade pendant with a big red knot hangs around his waist.
What made Ji Nianjin even more scared was that there was a long sword behind the man's waist.
The person who came didn't move, just glanced at Ji Nianjin's bedroom inside and out, as if he felt that there was another person outside, and then picked up a chess piece in the chess box on the Huanghuali long case under the south window, stretched out his hand and bounced out.
"No...
Ji Nianjin just wanted to shout, but the man stepped forward a few steps to cover his mouth.
With her eyes wide open and her face full of fear, Ji Nianjin was completely panicked, this is so good, how could a thief enter her hibiscus courtyard and go straight into her bedroom?
Could it be that the ghost of the third room is doing it again?
"Woo. Whining.. ”
Ji Nianjin's mouth was covered, and between his mouth and nose, there was a strange man's breath, which made Ji Nianjin's struggle more obvious.
"Don't scream, I'll let go, I promise, I won't hurt you! The maid outside was fine, I just put her to sleep. ”
The man explained.
Ji Nianjin's eyes flashed wide, her eyes were slightly red, and she didn't dare to act rashly when she didn't know the identity of this person.
"Miss Ji, you believe me!"
Seeing that Ji Nianjin didn't speak, and didn't even react, the man in black was a little anxious, and there wasn't much time left for him.
The voice of the man in black made Ji Nianjin a little dazed, she seemed to have heard it somewhere, and those eyes also made her a little familiar.
But in this life, she has never been out of the Hou Mansion, except for the people in the mansion, she doesn't know anyone else at all, where does this familiarity come from?
The eyes of the man in black were sincere, which made Ji Nianjin believe it for no reason, she nodded lightly, and the hand that covered her really let go.
Just now, Ji Nianjin really didn't see clearly, how could this person fly to his side from under the south window so quickly, and accurately cover his mouth?
"Who are you? You scared me! This is the Fu'an Hou Mansion, if you know each other, please leave quickly, this is the backyard of the back house, not everyone can come! ”
Ji Nianjin straightened her waist, even if she was scared, she couldn't let this person see it!
