071: Sangkook is here
Ji Hongye couldn't put it down, and explained: "This is made by Sogdian craftsmen from the Western Regions, it looks small on the outside, but the space inside is large enough to make people feel depressed and breathless." β
"I'll try. "Nalan Jinxiu will wear it on his head when he takes it.
Ji Hongye sat up and stretched out his hand to put it on for her.
Nalan Jinxiu looked at him through the light veil and said, "Third brother, you said that if you wear this to go out, will it be more eye-catching?"
Ji Hongye nodded and agreed: "Some aristocratic ladies and ladies have to wear them when they go out, but they don't know that the more they are like that, the easier it is to be targeted by people with intentions." β
Nalan Jinxiu thought of his previous life, Tongzong Xuanyi always wore men's clothes when he went out, and he always hugged him when he went out with his mother. She thought that Long Yi was not here today, and there was that incident a few days ago, so she asked in a low voice: "Is Ji Xiaobai okay?"
After finishing speaking, he also pointed at Ji Hongye's forehead with his index finger. She always felt that Ji Xiaobai was so pure that she couldn't be more pure white. It's really insecure to let such a deceitful person protect himself!
Ji Hongye saw that she suspected that Ji Xiaobai had something wrong with her brain, and couldn't help laughing: "You can do it." β
Once bitten by a snake, he was afraid of the well rope for ten years. The third brother is in charge of punishment, and he is a person who does not rub sand in his eyes, and he doesn't know how many enemies there are. She didn't want to have another last time.
"Don't worry, since that incident, I've gotten used to going out with the shadow guards. β
Shadow guards are the kind of guards like shadows, who follow their masters wherever they go, and their master's words and deeds are under their noses. She suddenly felt as if she was being watched, and took her hand off his forehead.
"They shouldn't be watching, they won't be watching. β
What shouldn't they see? She obviously didn't do anything, the third brother is a nerd, Nalan Jinxiu suddenly didn't want to talk to him.
Ji Hongye took her hand and asked her to continue rubbing it, and comforted: "I have already asked people to book a private room in Yetan Building, it is very quiet, you only wear a hat when you go upstairs." β
Nalan Jinxiu nodded. After getting out of the car, he really put on a hat and followed Ji Hongye, very well-behaved and obedient.
Some people's encounters are destined in the dark, and on this day, at this hour, Zong Xuanyi also happened to come to Yetan Tower.
He and Chen Zhi had just arrived at the Yetan Building, and when they stepped on the stairs and were about to go up, they saw the other side of the stairs where the food was served knocked over the plate.
The manager of the training was very fierce, and said in a gloomy voice: "We can't afford to offend the noble man inside, you actually knocked over his soup with your carelessness, are you waiting to peel the skin?"
The boy, who looked to be thirteen or fourteen years old, was so frightened that he couldn't stand up, and knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
The steward still didn't let go, still threatening: "You mud legs, when you see a beautiful woman at a young age, you are fluttering, and you don't know what you do." I'll give you to that noble man now, and you can explain it to others to see if they will let you go!"
"Steward Liu, don't hand me over, I'll ask Master Lu in the kitchen to make another one now." β
"What are you kidding? Our bird's nest in Yetanlou is served with winter melon, rolled in tender chicken soup, and the jade color is the best. What about that girl? She just added wolfberries, red dates, and longan, and stewed them in a jade bowl. There is only one copy in the kitchen, and there is no stock at all, no matter how fast Master Lu is, he can't do it at this time!"
Zong Xuanyi paused, and some words became clear in his mind:
"Bird's nest to Qing Zhiwen, it can't be greasy and mixed, and it can't be strung with martial arts. The bird's nest of winter melon in Ye Tan Lou is very good, with softness and softness, and the bird's nest is made of jade color. It's a pity that after all, it still robbed the taste of bird's nest. β
"Madame, ...... Tell me how you want to do it?"
"Naturally, it is served in a jade bowl, and it is good to stew it through water, and the water naturally needs to be used from the heavenly spring or dew. β
There was no one in the world who ate bird's nest like her, at least he had never seen it. He knew that people could not be resurrected after death, and he never believed in ghosts and gods, but he suddenly couldn't help but want to go and see that girl. Zong Xuanyi said coldly to Chen Zhi behind him: "Go and ask, where are the guests?"
Chen Zhi came back soon and replied respectfully: "Lord Bingxiangguo, it's the Lan Room." β
Zong Xuanyi strode upstairs and unceremoniously pushed open the door of the orchid room. Ji Xiaobai was guarding the door and was about to stop him, but he was dragged by Chen Zhi.
"Ji Shangshu is so Yaxing. His words didn't sound very polite, because he didn't like Shen Qingzheng, a proud protΓ©gΓ©, very much. Without the support of a strong background, he is a second-class member of the imperial court at a young age, and his intelligence and ability definitely do not need to be questioned.
He likes smart people, but if he is a smart person who is not controlled, it is not as good as being a fool. Because people are stupid to be at the mercy of others, smart people are prone to dissent. Take precautions, lest one day be stumbling upon the calculations of the wise.
Nalan Jinxiu heard Zong Xuanyi's voice and looked up, seeing that he was wearing a dark blue shirt, with wide sleeves fluttering, and an indifferent expression, which described him a lot. He doesn't seem to have changed much from before, and it doesn't seem to be the same anymore, power is a thing, and after a long time, people will naturally change.
Zong Xuanyi walked in and sat down, and he didn't see anyone outside the table, he was upright and dignified, but it made Nalan Jinxiu feel oppressed inexplicably. She knows all the dirty things he did to climb to today's position.
It is precisely because of the clarity that I am afraid. From clinging to her father, being her teacher, to marrying her in the name of love, the Nalan family disappeared completely...... One by one, she was as fierce and deep as a devil, and if he found out that she was not dead, she would probably have to die again.
Ji Hongye lowered his head to pick up vegetables for her, but he didn't raise his head, but said lightly: "There are female dependents here, and the lower officials will not leave the Xiangguo Lord." β
Zong Xuanyi raised his head and said, "What's wrong with Ji Shangshu, do you want to be like me when you get out of the court?"
His tone was dignified, which could not be said to be polite, and even had a sense of coercion, which made people very uncomfortable.
Nalan Jinxiu went to see Ji Hongye and found that his face sank like water. The third brother is proud, very proud, and naturally doesn't like to talk to people like this.
Looking at Zong Xuanyi's attitude, they are probably not the same faction in the court. She doesn't understand the things in officialdom, and it's useless to listen to them. She stretched out her hand and pulled the corner of Ji Hongye's clothes, and whispered, "Third brother, I'll wait for you over there." β
The guests who come to Ye Tan Lou are either rich or expensive, so the decoration here is luxurious enough. There are not only places for people to rest, but also places for study and gambling money for people to have fun. Nalan Jinxiu was going to stay inside, after all, she was a woman who had not been out of the pavilion and it was inconvenient for her to see a foreign man.
Before Ji Hongye could say anything, Zong Xuanyi suddenly raised his head and stared at her face, his tone was still cold and arrogant: "Slow, I have something to ask you." β
At this time, even Ji Hongye, who was thoughtful and never refused to confront him head-on, was unwilling. He laughed, but the smile didn't reach the bottom of his eyes, he only looked at Zong Xuanyi and said, "The female dependents don't see the foreign man, I don't know what Lord Xiangguo is doing to stop her?"
"I don't know whose daughter she is?"
"Naturally, the official family. β
"Oh, I haven't heard that Ji Shangshu is married, and she hasn't combed the woman's hair, isn't it...... Your sister-in-law?"
Ji Hongye is so keen, Zong Xuanyi pays too much attention to Nalan Jinxiu, and he has to guard against it. He looked at her and said, "Xiangguo actually asked, and the lower official told the truth, she is not a sister, but my wife who has not passed the door." β
Zong Xuanyi's expression was even more interesting, and he seemed to be smiling: "I haven't heard that Ji Shangshu has a marriage contract, I only know that every once in a while, there are court officials who want to give you their daughter and sister, who made Ji Shangshu hot at a young age." β
Nalan Jinxiu only felt that the third brother was indifferent, and it was reasonable to lie, but she didn't know that when she was born, the two of them had such an oral marriage contract.
"The marriage contract was made orally by the elders of both parties when they were young, and if it was not a mutual agreement, it would not be counted, so it was not announced. β
Zong Xuanyi's eyes narrowed, making his handsome face a little more gloomy: "Since that's the case, I won't take the favor of others, but...... I still have a question to ask in front of Ji Shangshu. β
"Ask whatever you want. "Zong Xuanyi is all over the world, and Nalan Jinxiu doesn't want the third brother to be in a stalemate with him.
Ji Hongye didn't say anything, as if he had acquiesced. With his understanding of Nalan Jinxiu, she can't cope with it, and she will never be strong.
Zong Xuanyi looked at her and saw that she was dressed plainly and beautifully, looking much more stable than her actual age. looks very good, but it doesn't surprise him, with his current status, he wants as many beautiful women. His heart had long since died with that person, and he was not interested in anyone.
How many women in this world admire him, but in front of him, they can't say a word. Unexpectedly, this little girl is not very old but has commendable courage, and she still wants to help her lover out of the siege. I can't see that Ji Hongye, a scholar who pinched the pen, was a little blessed.
Zong Xuanyi hummed lightly, and after a long time, he said, "Why do you want to do that for bird's nest?"
Nalan Jinxiu couldn't answer like she had done and brought trouble to herself out of thin air. She thought about it sideways, and was ready to pretend to be stupid to the end, "I'm not in good health, and the doctor told me to use a bird's nest on an empty stomach every morning." If you add too much food, you won't be able to eat it, so you can make do with it, and over time you will feel that it tastes good. β
Zong Xuanyi chuckled, not in pleasure, but more like mockery. Ji Hongye frowned, and just wanted to say something, but was held by Nalan Jinxiu's arm. She was surprisingly calm, as if she didn't hear the sarcasm in Zong Xuanyi's laughter.
With Nalan Jinxiu living with Zong Xuanyi for many years, he understands him, he is good at attacking the heart, and he has always been particularly persistent about what he wants to know. Most of the methods used are to provoke the other party first, and then wait for the other party to show their flaws.
Even those who are wary of him make themselves look calm and unfazed, with no weaknesses exposed. He can always find the entry point that ordinary people can't tolerate, and make you mess up.
So, she decided to play dumb to the end.
(PS: The front is high-minded, and a large number of memories are coming.) οΌ
