Chapter Twenty-Eight: Ji Zhai
Located outside the palace of Chang'an City from west to east two or three miles of road, close to the suburbs of the city there is an unmanned scenic spot, here the scenery is beautiful, the air is fresh, next to the lake, the edge of the woods, like a paradise is located in the corner of the lively and prosperous Chang'an City, it is rare, and the Ji Mansion is built here - a clean and smooth road along the long stone steps winding up, the winding path is quiet, the trees stand in a forest, lush, to the flat land to look at the field of vision, you can see that there is a house that has just been repaired not far away, there is the word "Ji House" on it.

It is said that as a captive of a foreign country, it is necessary to snicker at a place that can live like a paradise, but Ji Xuan, who was not expected to be happy all the way down, happy to spend nothing, and nodded again and again, suddenly twisted his brows into a pimple, turned around and left, only because of the name "Xiangu Corridor": it is named after a long corridor on the side of the outer house that twists and turns like a girl's tenderness.
Ji Xuan complained that he had "calculated" for Qi Guojun, and rolled up his sleeves to ask Fu Xuan for an explanation, and asked him what he meant, but fortunately, several guards stood far away at that time, and only Jin Xi, Li Xue, Murong Shu and others were present, otherwise I don't know what kind of moth to make.
The "three-person wall" finally stopped Ji Xuan and continued to look around - in fact, the layout of the house is quite attractive, the rockery with heavy mountains and pillars separates the outer house from the inner house, and the small bridge flows directly to the building in the building on the opposite bank, and the nine-curved corridor surrounds the period; The inner house is quite spacious, it is not a problem to live for three or four people, and the two main houses are set up elegantly and chic, and it is refreshing to see this scene, the corners of Ji Xuan's drooping mouth were reluctantly mentioned.
Several people sat on the ground in the wing room where Ji Xuan lived, and the two palace maids and three guards stood on both sides of the door.
"You can be content," Jin Xi sneered at Ji Xuan: "Finally got rid of us and lived in such a good place, this is all Your Majesty's grace." ”
Several people heard that this was said to the guards and palace maids by the door, and Li Xue echoed and took the opportunity to sarcastically:
"This is just the right place for you to live, surrounded by beautiful women every day, and no one cares about you when you are drunk and dreaming of death."
Ji Xuan's eyes narrowed, and he swung his fist away, but was stopped by Murong Shu's white and tender little hand, and grinned slightly:
"Brother Ji, the gentleman doesn't move his mouth."
Murong Shu was authorized by Fu Xuan to come to the house with Ji Xuan and others, and if he was satisfied, he could live immediately.
Ji Xuan didn't look at Murong Shu, only stared at Li Xue with his eyes, and sneered: "Did I say I was a gentleman?" ”
I still wanted to shake off Murong Shu's hand, but I couldn't shake it off after a few struggles, so I turned my head in surprise and suspicion:
"When did you have that kind of strength?" You can hear the gnashing of teeth.
Murong Shu looked at Jin Xi triumphantly, and didn't need to say anything.
Ji Xuan was unwilling to let go, turned his head and shouted at the guards who were standing by the door stupidly as if watching his jokes:
"Are you dead? Can't make tea! ”
One of the palace maids woke up like a dream, and said closely: "I'm sorry, Mr. Ji, you only said that you came to see the house with General Jin today, and you didn't say that you officially moved in, Your Majesty instructed that you can prepare the necessities only after the house is ready, there is nothing to improve and Mr. Ji is satisfied, so——"
"When I move in, the first thing is to 'improve' your brains," Ji Xuan said unceremoniously, "Don't buy it yet." ”
The two palace maids and the three guards looked at each other, and finally compromised, and one of the guards said:
"It's all the negligence of the subordinates, so it's all for you, but here's ......"
Jin Xi understood the meaning of the guard's words: This house can't be without their people.
"Five of you, one to boil water, two to buy tea, and two to stay in the outer courtyard." Jin Xi commanded quietly.
"Yes." Several people left in unison and brought the door.
Li Xue walked to the door, listened attentively, and made sure that there was no movement, so she sat back in her place.
"Shu'er, I've wronged you in Dali Temple these days." Jin Xi looked at Murong Shu who was sitting opposite him very gently.
"Don't be aggrieved, Shu'er is happy to see Brother Jin again." Murong Shu's innocent smile is less heroic than Murong Jin, but she has the cuteness and frankness of her daughter's family.
"Your Highness, tell us what your plans are next." Li Xue looked a little impatient.
Jin Xi raised his head lightly to indicate "not busy", and Murong Shu smiled again: "Shu'er, Brother Jin has good news for you." ”
Murong Shu's clever eyes flashed, and then he said, "Brother Jin has seen my sister." ”
"Shu'er is so smart!" Jin Xi raised his lips sincerely and praised, "It seems that I won't be able to hide anything from you in the future." ”
"Then why didn't Brother Jin bring his sister to see him today?" Murong Shu's smiling face showed disappointment.
"Shu'er is not in a hurry," Jin Xi said softly, "Brother Jin just wants to wait for you to settle down before bringing her to see you, and besides, this is what I promised her." ”
"You two talked?" Murong Shu's eyes lit up, with a little playfulness.
Jin Xi was panicked by Murong Shu's peculiar inquiring expression, as if his mind had been seen through.
"Speaking of which, Princess Jin is very worried about Shu'er's sister." Jin Xi never mentioned Murong Jin's words to warn him.
"Of course, since I was a child, the second sister treated me the best and loved me the most," Murong Shu smiled at happy memories, and suddenly changed the topic and asked Jin Xi, "You just said this, didn't say anything else?" ”
"Yes." Jin Xi's mouth was tight.
"Did Brother Jin tell his sister about when he was a child?" Murong Shu was a little anxious.
"No," Jin Xi replied quietly, concisely, seeing that Murong Shu was about to ask again, "Shu'er, right now, Brother Jin has more important things to complete, and Princess Jin is the same, can you understand?" ”
Although Murong Shu didn't understand much, she nodded obediently.
"Shu'er, Brother Jin understands your intentions and thank you, but now is really not the time to say this, can you promise me not to say anything to Princess Jin?"
"Yes!" Murong Shu replied solemnly.
"It's ruthless! Enough! Ji Xuan shook his fan and said without a head or tail.
"Ji Xuan, do you think I am ruthless to Princess Jin?" Jin Xi glanced at Ji Xuan lightly, just like his words, there was no emotion, but it made people feel the weight in his words.
"I mean you're ruthless enough to yourself," Ji Xuan responded lazily, "I haven't had any contact for more than ten years, just because of the obsession in my heart, it's so easy to see now, I can pretend that I don't know each other, and I can really bear it." ”
"What if I can't help it?" Jin Xi asked quickly, and his tone was a little heavy.
"I really don't understand, why can't you tell her?" Ji Xuan also became serious, "Could it be that saying it will hinder your future plans from coming true!" ”
"Tell her what?" Jin Xi looked apologetic, as if explaining, and as if introspective, "When the country of Xieguo was ruined, Da Jin was watching from the wall and failed to help in time, and now I am a prisoner of the country of Qi with her, and I haven't done a thing for her before and after, but I went to tell her about these things about the love of children, don't you think it's ridiculous?" ”
"Your Highness, it's not what you want to do on the wall, and the current situation in various countries is complicated, Your Majesty must have his considerations," Li Xue couldn't help but say protectively, "However, I think if His Royal Highness had made it clear to His Majesty early on that he was obsessed with Princess Xie, maybe—"
