Originally, he could reach Ji's Mansion in half an hour, but Li Chenyu always had to buy this and that all the way, and it took more than an hour before the carriage entered the side door. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

As soon as the carriage stopped, Li Chenyu jumped down and patted the pastry dregs in his hand.

"Yo, how can you catch the car, Liu Xi, that kid? Come on, come on, hard work. Lao Zhang on the concierge trotted over, the footstool in his hand was firmly placed on the ground, and he stepped on it and limped down.

The open road, in front of which is a rockery as a shadow wall, a slippery house on the right, a large cluster of Xiangfei bamboo on the left, a few small people come over quickly.

Li Chenyu looked around, really looking, without appreciation.

"Let's go."

Seeing her nodding, Ji Bai walked inside.

As he walked, he said: "In a few days, it will be my mother's sixtieth birthday, and there are a lot of relatives in this house, and I hurried back for this matter," at the end of his eyes, he glanced at the person with a straight posture and walked very rhythmically, and saw her expression faintly, "I can't walk away from this side of the house, and I don't know if you are still used to living in the algae garden?" ”

"Oh," Li Chen let out a long sigh and blinked a few times, "Your mother's birthday, the two of us flicked these empty paws over, I'm sorry, you should have said it earlier, and I'll make up the child's gift." ”

Saying this, Li Chenyu refused to leave, turned around and raised his chin to Zhao Banblind, "Did you bring any silver?" ”

Zhao Ban blindly subconsciously touched his sleeve pocket and shook his head, there were only a dozen taels of broken silver in it, this is the Ji Mansion, or their old lady's birthday, let alone giving gifts, they can't take it.

"Uh, I'm ...... My mother's birthday is four days later," Ji Bai sneered, he really didn't mean that, he just didn't have anything to say, and wanted to get closer to her.

"Four days later," Li Chenyu looked at Ji Bai and nodded, "I know." ”

Along the way, Ji Bai never spoke again.

The nine-song corridor, carved beams and painted columns, is full of wealth and glory, and it is more about the century-old heritage of the big family, which can be seen in the maid and the little maid, all the way, the maid and the little maid are all saluting and asking for peace, and no one looks at Li Chenyu Zhao with curious eyes.

Outer courtyard study.

Ji Mingde had already received the news that Li Chenyu was coming, and he sat in the study a quarter of an hour ago and waited, looking at the book and sipping tea, he had no impatience at all.

For him, this is a rare purity, in the capital, soaked in the yamen every day, and he is not idle all day. Now on his mother's birthday, he wants to rest for a few more days and take the opportunity to take a good look at Li Chenyu's personality.

"Fifth Uncle," Ji Li greeted him, saluting respectfully, with a pleasing smile on his bright face, "This is?" ”

"Hmm," Ji Bai nodded and glanced at Li Chenyu, "They were invited by me, what about Eleven them?" ”

"Don't mention it," Ji Li withdrew his gaze that looked like Li Chenyu and sighed, "You'll find out where your grandmother is later, those people, hmph, are in trouble again." He rolled his eyes, and then complained: "My head is going to be tossed big by them, and I have been playing them crazy these days, and my grandmother doesn't know how to manage them." ”

"It's ruthless in Beijing," Ji Bai smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "You just watch them play for a few days, and you can't play if you want to go back to Beijing, they just don't go out of line." ”

"Yes," Ji Li replied a little weakly, since he came back, he has become a child, and he ran out of the house without paying attention to those little ancestors, and he followed them with his legs.

"Let's get busy," Ji Li said goodbye, Ji Bai led them on, and talked about Ji Li's identity, "That is my eldest brother's eldest son, named Ji Li, and he is a child who knows how to measure himself." ”

Li Chenyu nodded, his eyes kept scanning around, and he didn't stay too long no matter where he was.

To be honest, she doesn't like Ji Mansion very much, she didn't say anything about the architecture, she only said that the few courtyards she walked through were just the right amount of delicacy in the atmosphere, and she gave 100 points.

The bad thing is that there are too many people, all the rules come to the face, everyone is well-behaved, the formulaic smile is like wearing a mask, there are waiters everywhere, and she is just a poor tourist.

Li Chenyu's legs were short but not slow, and Ji Bai took half a step after the mistake, and he arrived at the outer study after a while.

"Stand down."

Outside the study, Ji Bai ordered lightly.

Hearing this, Xi Yan and the other two people who followed him retired together.

Here it comes. Ji Mingde raised his eyes and looked at the door, and after a while, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Subconsciously, Ji Mingde straightened his sleeves, looked away at the door, and lowered his eyes to the book.

"Big brother," Ji Bai pushed the door in, arching his hand.

"I've seen my lord," Zhao Banblind glanced at it quickly, followed closely behind, and bowed.

Li Chenyu stood between the two of them and took a step forward before he saw Ji Mingde standing up with a smile on his face.

The face is fair, with fine lines at the corners of the eyes, the bearing is elegant, the figure is thin, I can't see the age, and the beard at the chin is quite elegant.

Ji Mingde was also looking at Li Chenyu, who was in his teens, his eyes were already deep, his face was exquisite, and his expression was faintly indifferent, not a good match.

"Your guests have come from afar, and Ji has missed the welcome," Ji Mingde smiled, stroked his beard, and made a gesture of please, "The two of you are please." ”

"You're welcome," Li Chenyu nodded, and he was not polite, following Ji Mingde's gesture and walked in.

Ji Bai glanced at Ji Mingde, who was smiling and silent, and stepped forward to lead Li Chenyu to sit down, and did not snub Zhao Ban Blind, and arranged them to sit together.

Li Chenyu glanced at the layout of the study, on her left was the bookshelf, the entire wall was occupied by books, and below the bookshelf was a long desk, and the shelf in the corner of the desk was full of brushes.

A few people sat down at the window, and when they turned their heads, they could see a pond in the window, with green lotus leaves on the water surface, and a few mandarin ducks swimming not far away.

Li Chenyu guessed that it might be mandarin ducks, because those ones were about the same length as ducks, and it was impossible for these elegant people to raise a few ducks in the pond.

Ji Bai followed her gaze and chuckled, "That's a mandarin duck, the emerald green on the forehead and the top of the head are the male birds, and the dark purple ones are the female birds, do you want to bring them over to take a closer look?" ”

Ji Mingde raised his eyebrows, when did his younger brother treat people so enthusiastically, this Li Chenyu seems to be really difficult to get along with, and even Yunchuan treats it so carefully.

"No," Li Chenyu's eyesight didn't need to be closer, she was also not interested in the mandarin duck of Raushzi, retracted her gaze, and got to the point, "I'll call you an adult." ”
