Chapter 245: Beyond Cloud City
Cloud City is the richest place in the world, and as the mansion of the city lord of Cloud City, it is naturally like a pile of gold and jade, but Ning Ge is a person who has been in the palace after all, so although Yun Yan's city lord's mansion is gorgeous and dazzling, it does not make Ning Ge too surprised.
"There are all kinds of characters in the Yun family, you have to deal with it carefully", Yun Yan kindly reminded, and then thought that Ning Ge was already very good if she didn't calculate others, how could someone calculate her, "Actually, I think this is a bit redundant." β
Ning Ge nodded, "Sort of." β
Yun Yan held the folding fan he said tightly, lest he do anything that would damage his image as a city lord.
Ning Ge walked beside Yun Yan step by step, taking in all the surprised eyes of everyone, thinking in his heart that maybe it was because Yun Yan didn't often bring women back, so there would be such an effect.
The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and a slight light flashed in his eyes, if this news reached the ears of Yun Yan's fiancΓ©e, I was afraid that this place would be lively again.
"Childe, are you back?"
A little girl with a maid's hair bun and a water-green embroidered skirt greeted her like a flying butterfly, and her eyes were full of joy when she looked at Yun Yan.
Ning Ge looked at the hand of the little girl who grabbed Yun Yan's sleeve, and knew silently in her heart, she was afraid that this little girl would fall in love with her master, but the two people with such a disparity in identity were afraid that there would be no good results.
"Didn't you call it Big Brother? Why can't I change it? Yun Yan rubbed the little girl's hair dotingly, looked at Ning Ge beside her and smiled faintly, "This is a girl named Ning Ge, she is my friend, and she will stay in the Yun family for a while." β
The little girl looked Ning Ge up and down with a pair of dark eyes, and suddenly laughed, "Childe's friend is a distinguished guest, you are drinking tea in the living room now, I will go and clean up the room for this girl!" β
"This girl ......"
Looking at the girl who flew away like a butterfly again, Yun Yan couldn't help but sigh dotingly, her eyes full of distress and pity.
"Since you like it, you might as well fight for it", Ning Ge said lightly, it is really not easy for people to meet someone they like in this life.
"I like it very much...... Yun Yan just opened his mouth, and suddenly understood the meaning of Ning Ge's words, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "You misunderstood, Qijiu is my cousin." β
"Huh?" Ning Ge looked at Yun Yan suspiciously, as if he wanted to find an answer, "But I see that Qijiu is wearing a dress that is obviously a pressure spring costume, you will never tell me that this is a rule unique to Cloud City, right?" β
Yun Yan's originally smiling face was covered with a faint layer of melancholy, "Naturally not, it's just because Qijiu's mother has a low status, so it's ......"
Can't finish Yun Yan's words, Ning Ge already understood the meaning of his words, this kind of thing is most common in the palace, the humble status of the mother of the prince or princess will always affect the future of his children, but no matter what, as long as it is the emperor's child, he can still enjoy the treatment that a prince or princess should have.
It's just that how did this Qijiu become the maid of Yun Xuan? Could it be that the rules of this Cloud City are even stricter than those of the Imperial Palace?
"Qijiu shouldn't be a maid", Ning Ge frowned, and there was even a faint reproach in his voice.
Yun Yan smiled helplessly, "I also feel sorry for her, but his name is not written into the family tree at all, how can you become a girl of the Yun family?" β
"What the hell is going on? Why do you say I'm getting more confused? Ning Ge frowned and stared at Yun Yan, his eyes were full of doubts, wondering if there were any strange rules in this Yun family.
Yun Yan sighed softly, "Qijiu's mother was originally just a rough girl in the kitchen, who was drunk and ruined by my uncle, and then she became pregnant and gave birth to a daughter, who is Qijiu. β
"Now that you have children, your uncle should always give someone an explanation, right? Even if he has a wife, it's okay to take the house and give it to a concubine, so at least Qijiu is still a girl", Ning Ge frowned, "It's not like your Yun family won't allow concubines, right?" β
Yun Yan saw that there was a faint flicker of small flames in Ning Ge's eyes, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching, "Of course concubines are allowed, my uncle originally had concubines, but he was ......"
"Just what?" Ning Ge frowned, staring at Yun Yan for an answer.
Yun Yan sighed, "It's just Qijiu's mother's appearance...... So my uncle always wanted to admit it, but he didn't admit it himself, how could the elders of the clan accept the identity of Qijiu as a girl from the Yun family, and Qijiu wanted to stay in the Yun family to accompany her mother, so she could only become the maid of the Yun family. β
Originally, it was something that had nothing to do with Ning Ge, but knowing that the girl who was as happy as a butterfly had such a life experience, Ning Ge only raised her heart and gritted her teeth and said, "So you let your sister be your maid?" β
"Do you think I'm willing?" Yun Yan glanced at Ning Ge and was speechless, in the eyes of this woman, is he so unreasonable?
"Facts speak louder than words!"
Yun Yan shook his head helplessly, "The fact is that no one else in the Yun family is close to Qijiu, and I am also worried that others will bully her because of her embarrassing status, so she can only stay by her side, and she is only willing to be close to me alone." β
Ning Ge was stunned for a moment, and nodded clearly, "Thinking about it this way, you should say good about Qijiu." β
"Anyway, she's my sister," Yun Yan said seriously, "but I can't keep her by my side all the time." β
"Why?" Ning Ge raised her eyebrows.
Yun Yan took a sip of tea before sighing leisurely, "Anyway, she is my sister, although it is reasonable for the elders of the clan to think that she is just a maid to serve me, but I always feel indebted in my heart." β
Ning Ge frowned, she saw that Izumo was definitely not acting, he really pitied this sister, thinking of this, the corners of Ning Ge's mouth rose slightly, and her eyes flashed brightly, "I'm okay with you?" β
"Huh? What do you mean? Yun Yan didn't react for a while to what Ning Ge's words meant, and couldn't help frowning.
"I just arrived in Cloud City, and I always need someone to help me with my life, I'm fine when I look at Qijiu", Ning Ge smiled faintly, looked at Yun Yan's uneasy eyes and added, "Don't worry, I won't really treat him as a girl." β
This arrangement couldn't be better, Ning Ge had just arrived in Cloud City, and he couldn't help her arrange everything, Qijiu had lived here since she was a child, and she was quite familiar with the Yun family and Cloud City, and it was a good thing to have her by Ning Ge's side.
It's just that......
Yun Yan frowned, looked at Ning Ge and said seriously, "Ning Ge, I am very happy that you say this, and I believe that you will be good to Qijiu, but I have always regarded her as a sister rather than a maid in my heart, so I can't treat her as an object and give it to you, I have to ask about the meaning of Qijiu in this matter, I hope you will forgive me." β
"Okay", Ning Ge should go down first, looking at Yun Yan's eyes full of appreciation, "I can see that you really regard Qijiu as your sister, then ask what Qijiu means!" β
"No need to ask, I agreed", as soon as I heard the crisp sound, I saw the aqua-green butterfly fly out, fluttering beside Ning Ge, pulling Ning Ge's sleeve, smiling with sunshine on her face, "I am willing to serve this girl." β
The corners of Yun Yan's mouth twitched, and he looked at Qijiu with pity and said with disgust, "You promised very quickly, aren't you afraid that the bad guys will sell you?" β
Ning Ge glanced at Yun Yan and said coldly, "Even if you want to sell it, you have to tie up the Cloud City Lord, I think you are still more valuable." β
Qijiu happily pulled Ningge's clothes and smiled happily, "Childe, as soon as I saw this girl, I liked it very much, and I was also very happy to be by her side, so you can promise Qijiu!" β
"It's good if you're happy," Yun Yan smiled faintly.
Ning Ge saw that Izumo Zhen really liked Qijiu's cousin, and gently patted the back of Qijiu's hand and smiled, "Now that I know your identity, you don't want to keep calling me girl, or can you call me sister?" β
Hearing this, Qijiu shook his head and said seriously: "Qijiu also knows his identity, so it's better to call the girl." β
Yun Yan glanced at Ning Ge helplessly, "See, this girl is this kind of character, very stubborn, but Ning Ge you really earned it if you got seventy-nine, you will find that she is a baby." β
"Oh?" Ning Ge smiled and raised her eyebrows, looked at Qijiu and smiled, "Really?" β
Qijiu was embarrassed by the two of them, and couldn't help but stomp his feet and pull Ning Ge's clothes, "Girl, don't talk to your son, I'll take you to see your bedroom, you see where there is something inappropriate, Qijiu can also be rearranged." β
Ning Ge smiled, winked at Yun Yan, and let Qijiu push her in the direction of the guest room.
The Yun family's guest room is also excellent, but the ornaments on the table are all valuable things, in addition to the extravagance everywhere, the vase on the windowsill has a bouquet of unknown lilac flowers in the vase that adds a lot of life to this room.
Ning Ge saw that there were still water droplets on the flowers, presumably Qijiu had just brought them to sprinkle with water, looked at the little girl who was sorting out her luggage and smiled, and said sincerely: "I like this room very much, Qijiu, thank you." β
Qijiu smiled with a red face, "If the girl likes it, I'm very happy." β
"I'll clean up those things myself, you can come and rest for a while", Ning Ge smiled faintly, it was really hard to arrange such a comfortable bedroom in such a short time.
"Girl, the texture of this jade bracelet is very good, it's a pity that it's broken", Qijiu frowned slightly, took the jade bracelet that Ning Ge put in the purse, and asked tentatively, "The girl carefully put this broken bracelet in the purse, I think this bracelet has a different meaning for the girl, right?" β
Ning Ge's eyes flashed with some sadness, and then he sighed softly, "It's a pity that it's broken." β
"Qijiu can be repaired", the little girl's eyes flashed brightly, like a spring in autumn, "Qijiu repaired the girl, and the girl can take it with her every day, wouldn't that be great?" β
"Really?" Ning Ge's eyes were full of surprise, if she could, then the regret in her heart could be reduced a little, Ning Ge looked at Qijiu and smiled, "It seems that Yun Yan is right, you are really a treasure, are you sure you can fix it?" β
Qijiu nodded seriously, "It's okay, it just takes some time, the girl isn't in a hurry, right?" β
Ning Ge smiled and shook his head, he originally thought that it would be broken if it was broken, but now he suddenly knew that it could be repaired, how could he be in a hurry?
"It's good for you to go and cultivate slowly, I'm not in a hurry", Ning Ge smiled, "Yun Yan is really willing to give you to me, did I earn it?" β
Qijiu's face turned even redder, holding a bracelet in his hand and lowering his head, and he whispered embarrassedly for a while: "That's the son making fun of Qijiu, don't take it seriously, girl." β
Ning Ge looked at Qijiu's innocent and lovely appearance, and his good impression of Yun Yan in his heart increased a few points, in a big family with complex personnel relations like the Yun family, Qijiu's embarrassing identity can still maintain such an innocent character, which must be inseparable from Yun Yan's careful care
