Ji Hongxuan and Ji Honghuan came back, and as soon as they entered Jinling, they were about to be made marquis, so Ji Mansion naturally wanted to hold a banquet to celebrate. The two of them naturally became the focus of the crowd.

Although Ji Hongxuan has a cheerful personality, he is far less good at dancing than Ji Honghuan with long sleeves. He didn't like this kind of scene the most, it was better to win the battle and drink with the soldiers.

After three rounds of drinking, he excused himself to come out to breathe. Walking from the brightly lit place to the quiet place, the moonlight is just right, and the courtyard in front of you is different from the bustling noise of other places, and it is actually a little quiet.

He looked at the word "Jinyuan" on the plaque in a daze, and smiled faintly at the end. No wonder he felt comfortable as soon as he came, it turned out that he had come here unconsciously.

The third brother was just at the banquet, because it was a family banquet, and the female dependents had arrived, only she said that she was sick and did not attend. I'm afraid that she still minds what he said before, and she can't treat it with a normal heart.

Ji Hongxuan stood in front of the door for a while, thinking that this should be the closest distance between them. In the end, he was ready to leave.

As soon as he had taken two steps, he heard someone behind him, and the man said, "Since we have already come here, why should we not enter the door?" ”

Ji Hongxuan turned his head and saw Ji Hongye standing behind him. He scratched his hair a little crampedly, and said, "Third brother, I, I'm still not going in." ”

"Meet her! Tell her about the northern frontier, and she should be happy. Ji Hongye's demeanor was very calm, and he couldn't hear any emotion.

Ji Hongxuan couldn't see through what the third brother was planning, he felt that it was impossible for the third brother not to mind, he loved Ah Jin's matter. How angry the third brother was at the beginning, he remembered it.

"Why don't you come in yet?" Ji Hongye walked to the door, and when he saw that Ji Hongxuan was still standing still, he turned around and asked.

Ji Hongxuan was stunned for a moment, then reacted and strode to follow Ji Hongye. When I entered the courtyard, I saw a row of lanterns hanging under the porch, which was very bright, and the whole courtyard was bright.

The people who were waiting in the front yard were all small servants, and when they saw Ji Hongye, they respectfully called the third master. Holding a lantern in his hand, he led the two to the backyard. When he reached the archway, the little guy stopped.

The path leading from the arch to the backyard is brightly lit with lanterns hanging every few steps. The roads are all paved with cobblestones. Ji Hongxuan is not very used to it, and he is a little awkward when he walks.

Ji Hongye glanced at him who was grinning lightly, and his tone was light: "Ah Jin said that such a road can promote blood circulation, and it is best to take off your shoes and socks and walk barefoot." ”

Ji Hongxuan didn't grin anymore, but smiled heartily: "I don't know why she has so many strange ideas, could it be stupid?"

"I don't know. Ji Hongye replied, but he concluded in his heart that Nalan Jinxiu would not bluff people.

Walking further inside, I heard the sound of the piano, but the person who played the piano always played the wrong beat. When I arrived in the backyard, I saw Nalan Jinxiu instructing Ruyi to play the piano.

She has always been impatient, but time has honed her piano skills a lot. Even if it can't be called the best, it can't be compared with the average lady.

Of course, this is still implicitly said, from Ji Hongye's point of view, he has not seen any woman with piano skills better than her. This should be what he taught well, and she is also diligent.

"Don't be in such a hurry, this place can't be fast. And playing the piano is to calm down, why are you playing in such a hurry?" Nalan Jinxiu put her fingers on Ruyi's forehead, her face full of resentment.

"Slaves and maids usually have to be fast when they work, and if they are grinding, the master is not to blame. "Wishful and pitiful.

"Your master is me, when did I blame you?" Nalan Jinxiu simply sat on the other side of the table and guided nearby.

Ji Hongxuan looked at Nalan Jinxiu, he always silently put her in his heart, not daring to think about it, for fear of being noticed by others, and for fear of being bitter in his heart. How can you not be sad if you can't love it?

She looks more mature than before, her height has not changed much, but her face is becoming more and more prominent. Even this kind of pale color clothes can't restrain her bright air, and she is thrillingly beautiful.

She is always different when she is around the third brother, and this difference is not very obvious, but those who are familiar with her can find it. In front of outsiders, she is always a little cold, especially when she is in the army.

And at this point, she looked softer, and this softness was fatal to him. Although she was sitting on the table now, and her demeanor was not dignified, it did not hinder her elegance at all.

By the third brother's side, she must have lived a very comfortable life. A twenty-year-old woman is the most beautiful time, and when she is pampered by her beloved, she will naturally become more and more beautiful and dazzling.

Ji Hongxuan felt that his Jin'er had grown up and become beautiful, but it was a pity that these changes in her had nothing to do with him. For him, he can only be the spectator in her life.

Thinking like this, my heart ached. The third brother is keen, he is afraid of being seen, so he can only turn his eyes away and not look at Nalan Jinxiu.

At this time, Ruyi saw Ji Hongye and Ji Hongxuan, quickly stood up, made a blessing, and retreated far away.

Nalan Jinxiu didn't expect the third brother to bring someone here, it was still Ji Hongxuan. Ever since she knew his intentions, she had always deliberately avoided them. What I am afraid of is that he will be discovered by someone with a heart, and he is interested in his sister-in-law, which will ruin his reputation and delay his future.

"Why did you come back so early?" said to Ji Hongye.

Ji Hongye walked slowly to her side, still in a very soft tone: "I drank some wine during the banquet, I had a little headache, come out to breathe." ”

Nalan Jinxiu sank his cheeks at an angle that only Ji Hongye could see, and whispered, "You always have a headache and can't drink." ”

Hui Ji will be hurt, he is using his brain excessively.

Ji Hongye laughed in a low voice, took her hand and walked to Ji Hongxuan's side, and said softly: "The fifth brother and the sixth brother just came back from Northern Xinjiang, bring him to meet you." ”

Nalan Jinxiu smiled first, and then bowed slightly at Ji Hongxuan, even if it was a greeting.

Ji Hongxuan felt her alienation, and his eyes were gloomy, but he quickly covered it up. He arched his hands slightly, leaned over and saluted: "Ask the third sister-in-law." ”

The title of "third sister-in-law" suddenly widened the distance between them. Neither of them is used to it, but they can recognize it in their hearts, this is their identity, of course, there is nothing that they can't accept.

Ji Hongye watched from the sidelines, and he already understood in his heart that Ah Jin knew the thoughts of the sixth brother. It's better to know, Ah Jin is mature and can naturally handle it well. He walked up to Nalan Jinxiu and whispered, "Go to the bedroom and get the tea." ”

The tea leaves in the bedroom were obtained by Ji Hongye from the Red Leaf Temple. It was planted by Founder and picked by hand, and the quantity is very rare.

Nalan Jinxiu liked this tea very much, although there were only two small cans, but they were all put in the bedroom. Ji Hongye is usually reluctant to drink, leaving her alone.

She obediently went to get tea, but when she came back, she found that the maidservant had already made tea for Ji Hongye and Ji Hongxuan. Her tea is still the only one who drinks it.

"Brother asked me to bring you something. As he spoke, Ji Hongxuan took out a brocade bag from his chest and handed it to Nalan Jinxiu.

Nalan Jinxiu opened it and found that it was a jade plaque, and it was inlaid with gold on the outside. She put it in her hand and looked at it carefully, and found that the jade was a fine mutton fat white jade, and there was also a word engraved on it - Sheng.

Nalan Jinxiu looked up at Ji Hongxuan and asked puzzledly: "Is this ......" She had a guess in her heart, but she wasn't sure if it was.

"My brother asked people to rebuild the jade plate, and the jade plate in your hand is used to prove your identity. The elder brother said that when he cleans up Beiyan and finds his sister-in-law, he will come to Jinling to pick you up. ”

Jade Disc is another name for genealogy, and historically only the head of the family has the right to edit it. Xu Jince did this to let everyone know that Xu Jinsheng was not an outsider, nor was he his father's pearl in the sea.

She is the county lord of Zhenbei Wangfu and his sister Xu Jince. No one will question it in the future, and no one will dare to question it.

He did this for a greater purpose, that is, those who coveted the Shocking Cloud Order and wanted to attack Nalan Jinxiu were enemies of his Zhenbei Palace.

"Brother, do you have any news of leaving Ge?" Nalan Jinxiu certainly understood his intentions, but she was more concerned about Lige, and there was a hint of urgency in the tone of her questioning.

"Not yet. Ji Hongxuan's tone was also full of regret, Xu Jince was crazy in order to find Lige, he could see it clearly. He hoped that nothing would happen to him, otherwise, his brother would really be finished.

Nalan Jinxiu frowned: "How can a good person disappear out of thin air, is it ignoring something?"

"I've been looking very carefully, even the people from the Northern Yan Royal Court, the elder brother has personally interrogated him. Everyone said that Tuoba Tao didn't kill his sister-in-law, and how his sister-in-law escaped from their sight, they still haven't figured it out. ”

"Gotta find it. ”

"My brother also said that you have to see people in life and corpses in death. As long as he doesn't find it for a day, he can't give up. The elder brother also said that if you still can't find it after half a year, he will come to pick you up. ”

Ji Hongxuan is usually quite smart, but sometimes he is a little big. For example, now, all the words he said were in front of Ji Hongye, and he kept saying that he wanted to take away other people's wives, and he was still the third brother he respected and loved. He didn't see anything wrong with it himself.

Ji Hongye was the most calm, and he couldn't see anything on his face at this time, he just poured himself a cup of tea and drank it slowly.

Ji Hongxuan inadvertently touched his third brother's eyes, cold. He suddenly sobered up, and didn't dare to say anything more, so he could only bury his head in tea. But now he is flustered, and he can choke himself when he drinks tea.

He coughed violently, and Ji Hongye said slowly on the side: "My wife will naturally stay by my side until I am old." No one wants to take her, and she doesn't want to leave me. ”
