Because of the scruples of Nalan Jinxiu's body, they stopped and stopped along the way, and when Ji Hongye and his party arrived in Jinling, it was already ten days later.

Nalan Jinxiu lifted the curtain of the car, looked at the flashing scenery outside the window, and was very ironed. In the final analysis, it is still the best hometown, every grass and tree in Jinling City, and the customs and customs are all familiar and loved by her. Her happy mood gradually became nervous as the carriage moved forward.

She was very familiar with Ji Fu, and it stands to reason that she shouldn't be nervous. It's just that now that she has been away for so long, and she is back as the third brother's fiancée, she always feels that it is not the same as before, and she doesn't even know what kind of state to face the people in Jifu, so she is very worried in her heart.

Ji Hongye, who was leaning on the couch to read a book, caught a glimpse of her nervous appearance out of the corner of his eye, accepted the book, and beckoned to her.

Nalan Jinxiu sat down against him, played with the jade pendant around his waist, and said as if unintentionally: "Third brother, are we going back to the mansion directly?"

"Hmm. Ji Hongye replied lightly, knowing that she was uneasy in her heart, so he touched her hair soothingly, "You grew up in the mansion since you were a child, so there is nothing to be afraid of." And the yard has been rebuilt, although there is still a gate, but it usually looks like two families, and no one will disturb you. ”

"Rebuild?" Nalan Jinxiu looked up from his arms and looked at him puzzled.

"I bought the yard adjacent to our house and renovated it. ”

"Isn't that nice place for you?"

"I can't live there anymore, I didn't have a family before, so I didn't have so many concerns. Now that he is going to marry a wife, it stands to reason that he wants to go out and establish a house by himself. But you also know that I am the only sister-in-law in Jifu, and I must live with my father and grandmother, so I can only buy the adjacent one and open a small door from it. ”

The main reason is that Ji Hongye didn't say it, he was afraid that there would be too many aunts in the house, and she was too young to deal with the affairs of the inner house. In this way, from the outside, there is no separation, but from the inside, they live separately and have nothing to do with each other. He can send someone to guard the yard tightly, even if those aunts are difficult, they can't disturb her peace.

Nalan Jinxiu remembered that the courtyard on the edge of the Ji Mansion was very good, and he was not sure why it was abandoned. She had heard that it was originally the mansion of a high-ranking official, and later he was transferred out of Jinling, and the courtyard was empty, but this is also hearsay, not true.

She thought that repairing a house is a big deal, and it can't be done in a short period of time, so she couldn't help asking, "When did you ask people to repair it?"

"When I set off from Jinling. ”

Nalan Jinxiu was stunned, when he went to Northern Xinjiang, he didn't know if he could bring her back, had he already made so many plans? She suddenly remembered that when he first arrived in Northern Xinjiang, she had avoided him, and now that she thought about it, she seemed to be a little sorry for him.

Ji Hongye touched the top of her head gently, but the words he said were not even soft: "I knew that I would definitely use it." ”

Nalan Jinxiu was speechless, I really don't know where he got his confidence! After thinking about it, he felt that he was obviously making fun of himself. She didn't want to pay attention to him, and she knew that her third brother seemed to be gentle on his face, and it was best to speak, but in fact, he didn't suffer at all.

Ji Hongye hugged her waist, regardless of whether she wanted to or not, let her lean on her chest, and said in a low voice: "I will definitely see a lot of people when I go back, you just say that you are uncomfortable and need to rest, don't grieve yourself." ”

Nalan Jinxiu didn't speak, and she didn't agree with the third brother's approach in her heart. With his current status, people from all over the Ji Mansion naturally want to respect him and want to get close to him. Today is an opportunity to perform, how can those people let it go?

And if she behaves too reservedly, she will definitely be said to be unsightly. He is now in a high position, and in addition to having a good official reputation, his reputation is also extremely important. She didn't want to be his helper, she just wanted not to cause him trouble.

Ji Hongye saw that she didn't answer, so he knew what she was thinking, he lowered his head and pecked him on the cheek, and his tone was doting: "Don't think too much, you are the wife of a second-class member of the imperial court, and you will have a destiny after marriage, and you can do things by temperament." ”

In terms of commandment, Ningguo is different from other countries. For example, the wives of Nanchu are all to be given by the Holy Emperor, while in the Ning Dynasty, where the position of a second-rank member or above, the main wife will be from the husband's level and have the same grade of fate.

The decree of the Ning Dynasty not only had a fortune, but also entered the palace on a specific day and was taught by the queen to be a wife. Nalan Jinxiu felt a pain in his head when he thought of this, and felt that it was better to hang the title of county lord for freedom. She doesn't like the palace, so you have strict rules, and you have to walk on thin ice as soon as you enter

The two didn't feel that time was fast when they were talking, and they arrived at the door of Jifu in a blink of an eye. Nalan Jinxiu was helped out of the carriage by Ji Hongye, looking at the huge mansion, thinking of the day he left, and looking back, he saw such a scene.

At that time, she was still thinking that she would never come back in her life, but she never thought that a few months later, she would stand on this land again. This feeling, like a lifetime away, made her freeze for a while, and she forgot to move forward.

Ji Hongye saw that she didn't move, turned around, stretched out his hand to her, and said, "Ah Jin, go home." ”

Nalan Jinxiu put her hand in his palm and let him lead her on the stone path, looking at his back, and remembering the first time he held himself like this. It was only two years ago, but she felt as if many years had passed.

It was dark at that time, and he led her all the way back to the courtyard, and she was grateful to him in her heart. Later, whenever he was free, he always stayed by her side every inch, afraid that she would be afraid of the dark and that her medical practice would be discovered.

She understands his pampering and care, in Jinling City, she has always been alone, but she knows very well in her heart that she has always been under his wing, but as long as the third brother is there, no one will be able to bully her. So, she gradually got used to relying on him and fell in love with him.

In the future, she will live here with him, Xu Jinsheng is just a person with the title of county lord, but I am afraid that there is no family to rely on. Even if Xu Jince has the heart to protect each other, after all, they are thousands of miles away. Here, the only person she can rely on is him, and if she can't even rely on her husband in her husband's house, it will be very terrible for a woman.

She should be able to rely on the third brother wholeheartedly!

Looking at his back, the corners of her mouth gradually rose, thinking about what to do so much, she just had to protect herself and not cause trouble to him. If there is really trouble coming to the door, her third brother will definitely settle it for her, which she has never doubted.

Walking Ji Hongye suddenly stopped, Nalan Jinxiu was still thinking about things, and he didn't notice it for a while, and almost hit his back. She looked up at him puzzled, and he was helpless: "Don't be nervous, relax, it's all people, not flood beasts." ”

Nalan Jinxiu found out that they had arrived at her grandmother's yard. Thinking that there will be a lot of people here for a while, if it is the usual, she will definitely not be afraid, but now she really has the mentality of an ugly daughter-in-law who wants to see her in-laws. For a while, I was worried in my heart, and I was so panicked that the six gods had no master.

My grandmother said that my uncle had always disagreed with the third brother's affair with her, and I didn't know what kind of attitude it would be this time, if he spoke coldly, what would she do? Of course, she could only endure it and bear it silently, anyway, the third brother's decision, even the uncle couldn't influence it.

"I always thought that you were not afraid of heaven and earth, but it turned out that there were times when you were timid. Ji Hongye said with a smile.

"It's not timid, it's just that I don't know how to deal with it, and I always feel a little embarrassed. ”

"What's so embarrassing?"

"Don't you think the way we got married is a little too special? Ordinary people want to take a pick, ask for a name, Najib, invite a date, and welcome in person, but we are directly married, and there is no transition in my heart, I can't help but be nervous. ”

Ji Hongye smiled even more on his lips: "The red tape implemented by the Ministry of Rites is just tossing people, and in the end, it is not to take the bride back home." ”

Nalan Jinxiu was amused by his words, and she didn't know how others would feel after hearing the third brother's words. Especially the Ministry of Rites, who is an official in the same dynasty as him, if you know about it, don't make him angry. But I have to admit that she is not so nervous now.

"When you're ready, let's go inside. Ji Hongye looked at her inquiringly.

Nalan Jinxiu's hand was withdrawn from his hand, and his sleeves were neatly arranged, and he took a deep breath before nodding.

Ji Hongye gave her a haircut on her sideburns, and then walked ahead of her and entered the courtyard. He is tall in life, and his steps are also big, even if he walks slowly, he walks very quickly, but at this time he walks very slowly, obviously very close to her. Nalan Jinxiu followed him in small steps and entered the courtyard.

When the two of them entered the gate, there were already small servants who went to the courtyards to pass through, and at this time, Mrs. Ji's courtyard was actually full of people standing in half of the courtyard. Nalan Jinxiu looked at it with his eyes and found that it was really complete, even Ji Fan, who didn't often show up, came with Ji Liu, who had eyes above the top.

"But it's back, and I can't even sleep when I think about it, I'm afraid I'm too old to wait to see you. Old Madam Ji has always been solemn in front of people, but at this time, she anxiously rushed out two steps, holding Nalan Jinxiu's hand tightly, her eyes shining with tears.

Nalan Jinxiu felt the dryness and warmth of her hands, and the memories that belonged to Xu Jinsheng came out again. She came to Ji Mansion when she was very young, and it was this old man who took care of her gently with these hands. I once carefully combed her hair, and also patted and coaxed her to sleep, but at that time these hands were much softer than now.

The years are unforgiving, her grandmother is really old, she suddenly felt a sour nose, her eyes were red, and she choked up: "Grandmother, Sheng'er is back to you......"
