Chapter 14 Don't be at peace
Ji Nai hugged half a bowl of noodles, completely devoid of decency, and devoured it.
Lan Xi'er really couldn't stand it, so she found some hot water and poured it into the noodles, which looked tasteless, but at least they weren't cold.
Ji Nai looked up at Lan Xi'er, nodded in thanks, and continued to eat.
Lan Xi'er brought another plate of pastries to Nakia, but Nakia didn't seem to accept Ji Nai's downcast, and sat next to her sister, quietly watching everything in front of her, not eating or drinking.
After Ji Nai finished eating the noodles, Lan Xi'er poured some hot water into her bowl again.
"Thank you." After Ji Nai finished speaking, he blew the water in the bowl, drank half a bowl, and then sprinkled the water on his hands, wiped his face, and straightened his hair.
Lan Xi'er looked surprised, if she didn't know Ji Nai, no matter what others said, she wouldn't believe that she was the great fortune in this mansion. She is the eldest uncle's big Gege, although she is a concubine, she is also married to Fei Yingdong to be a great fortune, when she got married, she was definitely called the scenery of the city.
"Thank you." Ji Nai, who had made up his makeup, thanked him again, although he was in tattered clothes, his hair was neatly combed, and he looked a little energetic.
Lan Xi'er nodded with a smile, but she didn't know what to say, she was the great fortune in this mansion, but she thanked herself again and again, Lan Xi'er seemed to feel something, and her heart was inexplicably sad.
"It's really here." In a word, the three people in the room were startled. A small door was pushed open, and several people suddenly poured in, Yue Tuo, Du Zhi, Du Du, Guo Huan, and even Yue Qi, Jing Da, and Min Yue.
Ji Nai got up slowly, and the whole person took half a step back stupidly. Nakia was also timid, so she hurriedly got up and stood beside her sister.
Yue Tuo looked clear, glanced at Lan Xi'er, pursed his lips and smiled lightly, but Du Zhi looked at Lan Xi'er helplessly and with a headache, he really couldn't afford to mess with this girl since he was a child.
Lan Xi'er just swept a group of people lightly, and suddenly saw that Guo Huan and Du Du were still looking at her with affectionate faces, she was bored in her heart, frowned, snorted coldly, withdrew her eyes, raised the teacup in front of her, and took a sip.
Nakia looked at the big cousins in the room, and then looked at her sister, and saw that she was still sitting steadily, and for a moment felt that it was absolutely wrong for Eniang to say that her sister was cowardly and afraid of things, these four cousins are the most favored in the family now, and they appeared together at this moment, and my sister could still look indifferent, and the momentum was definitely no less than Eniang's domineering. He glared at Jingda behind him proudly, raised his head and sat down with his sister.
"Sister Ji Nai, why are you here?" Yue Qi ran to Ji Nai enthusiastically, and when she wanted to hold her hand with both hands, Ji Nai subconsciously took a step back, her eyes were a little distant, and she lowered her head. Yue Qi was obviously stunned by Ji Nai's reaction, standing awkwardly to the side, and lost his movements.
"Ji Nai, why are you here? You are the great blessing of the house, you should go to the vigil. ”
This is obviously a bit reproachful, but Guo Huan is surprisingly gentle when he says it, he himself looks like a gentleman who is as warm as jade, but his almost pale face is obviously sickly.
Ji Nai didn't know if she heard Guohuan's voice, she lost her calmness just now, and tears welled up in her eyes, but she still didn't answer.
"One day husband and wife for 100 days, you five-year husband and wife, there should always be kindness, how can you send him on the last journey." Guo Huan slowly walked to Ji Nai's side, and his voice was softer.
"It turns out that Brother Guohuan is also emotional, I thought you were just putting your interests first." Lan Xi'er's eyes were full of coldness, looking at the gentle and elegant Guohuan.
"Xi'er."
Guo Huan turned around and looked at Lan Xi'er, his eyes were full of pain, and his whole body was even trembling. That sentence Xi'er seemed to break his heart.
Lan Xi'er looked at such a national huan, knowing that he had been weak and sick since he was a child, and he couldn't bear it in his heart, so he sighed lightly, put away the chill in his eyes, and stopped looking at him.
Du Du clenched his hands, and he trembled a little, but he didn't dare to look up at Lan Xi'er again.
"I'm not going, I'm not going anywhere." Suddenly, Ji Nai yelled heartbreakingly, retreating while shouting, and when there was no way to retreat, he squatted on the ground and cried and shook his head.
Lan Xi'er was also taken aback by this sudden situation, and stood up and looked at it at a loss, because she didn't know what happened to Ji Nai, in fact, there was only half a bowl of noodles between them.
"What's wrong with you? Sister Ji Nai. Yue Qi hurriedly walked over, squatted down, and gently soothed Ji Nai's back.
"You didn't see her covered in filth, she must have suffered a lot of grievances." Nakia glared at Yue Qi, and shook her face angrily.
Lan Xi'er has always known that her sister is spoiled by Eniang, she has always been arrogant and unreasonable, and she has never looked down on Yue Qi, even if she is already a concubine.
Seeing that Yue Qi's face was already displeased, Lan Xi'er hurriedly dragged her sister and said slowly: "When we saw her, we were very embarrassed. ”
"Ji Nai, is someone bullying you?" Guo Huan took a few steps closer, looking at Ji Nai's embarrassment, but there seemed to be more helplessness in his eyes.
Guo Huan's words were to the point, although Ji Nai didn't speak, his tears were like beads falling off the line, and he couldn't stop falling down, and the whole person trembled.
"Sister." This crying, Nakia was a little frightened, and looked up at her sister.
Lan Xi'er held her in her arms, shook her head gently, and motioned for her not to speak. In this way, no one spoke in the room, only the crying and sobbing of Ji Nai. Gradually, gradually, it subsided.
"Auntie, we all know that you are sad, but Marfa is here in a blink of an eye, if we don't go to the mourning hall, then we can all go directly to see Fei Yingdong today." Du's tone was obviously a little impatient.
"This will make people think that she is your aunt and grandmother who loves the Xinjue Luo family, the great blessing of the Guerjia clan."
Lan Xi'er snorted coldly, it turned out that Guo Luomafa was coming, no wonder these eldest sons and grandchildren would deign to come to the backyard to find Ji Nai in person, how could they care about the life or death of a concubine, but they all need to guard Fei Yingdong's spirit, Ji Nai is a great blessing in Guerjia, but he is not above the mourning hall, Guo Luomafa will be furious when he knows it. As Ji Nai's brothers, they must all be implicated. The first thing that came to mind between the brothers and sisters in this mansion was the calculation of interests, and Lan Xi'er only felt a chill in her heart.
Du Tuo, who has been stubborn by Lan Xi'er since he was a child, only felt that his scalp was numb, and looked at Yue Tuo with his eyes full of help, but Yue Tuo just shook his head, raised his hand and touched his nose, blocking the light smile at the corner of his mouth.
This is Lan Xi'er, when the character of hoeing the strong and helping the weak comes up, he never cares about it. Don't say it's them, I'm afraid that Marfa is here, if Lan Xi'er thinks that Ji Nai is pitiful, he will also say a few words.
It's just that when Yue Tuo turned his head to look at Ji Nai, the gentleness in his eyes just now had turned into a chill.
"Sister Ji Nai, if someone bullies you, you tell us." Yue Qi's enthusiasm has not been extinguished. Still trying to communicate with Ji Nai.
Du Zhi sighed lightly, looked at himself Fujin, frowned, and when his eyes stopped on Ji Nai's body again, there was a disdain in his eyes.
"I'm not going, I'm not going, they're all bullying me." Ji Nai seemed to have been under a spell, and his eyes were gone, just repeating this sentence.
"In that case, let's go back first, and let Ji Nai stabilize his emotions." Yue Tuo glanced at Ji Nai with cold eyes, and his tone did not have the slightest warmth.
As soon as Yue Tuo's words fell, the four masters turned around and wanted to leave together.
"Don't go, don't go, brother, don't go. They all bullied me. Ji Nai suddenly cried loudly again. Although he was still crouching in place, the content of what he said finally changed.
Lan Xi'er suddenly felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't say it. These four masters have had some friendship with her since they were children, so they still know their temperament. Just when the four masters turned to look at Ji Nai at the same time, Lan Xi'er caught the same emotion on their faces, which was disgust, without a trace of pity.
The mansion is indifferent everywhere, and they have all been exposed to it since childhood. Even when she was sent to kiss, Du Du and Guohuan ignored her. Although Lan Xi'er had resentment and hatred in her heart, she still believed that they were by no means ruthless people. So what is the indifference and helplessness of these people aimed at at this moment? Lan Xi'er cautiously put her eyes back on Ji Nai, could this be the problem.
Ji Nai was still crying, and she neither went with them nor let them go.
Guo Huan finally sighed lightly: "How about this, you go to the wake with us first, my brothers are here, no one will bully you, after the funeral, how about you go back home with me?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the women in the house were shocked, Guo Huan was going to take his married sister home, the key is that the husband is still cold.
I thought Ji Nai would cry even more, but she just looked at Du Du silently, although there were tears on her face, there was an expectation in her eyes, she didn't refuse, she didn't answer.
Lan Xi'er knew it in her heart, after all, the one who could call the shots in that mansion was of course Du Du, who was the eldest brother.
After a while, Du Du nodded, agreeing with Guo Huan's idea.
Ji Nai breathed a sigh of relief, and as everyone walked out of the house, just when they walked out of the door, the light smile that flashed at the corner of the side face made Lan Xi'er incredibly stunned.
"Sister." Nakia saw that everyone had gone out, and her sister was stunned again. Her sister is good at everything, but she likes to be stunned.
Lan Xi'er nodded and led her sister out of the room, this room, she really didn't want to come in again.
At the door, Yue Tuo waited aside, saw her come out, and greeted her, with a shallow smile on his face.
Lan Xi'er also saw that at the bend not far away, Min Yue was pulling Jingda, who looked unwilling, and walked farther and farther.
"Sister, I'm going to find E-Niang." Nakia let go of her sister's hand and ran away, and before she ran, she didn't forget to smile evilly, looked at herself, and then at Yue Tuo.
Lan Xi'er really felt that this sister knew more than she thought. When he raised his eyes to see Yue Tuo, the smile on his face became gentler.
"Brother Yuetuo, let's watch a good show." Lan Xi'er looked at Yue Tuo's smile and unconsciously pursed her mouth. This time, she was put to good use by Ji Nai, and it was all in Yue Tuo's eyes.
"Yo, the perception is not bad. Before the person had gone far, Xi'er noticed it. Yue Tuo nodded and chuckled, his eyes even more charming because of his smile.
"Is this the legendary bitter meat trick?" Lan Xi'er glanced at Yue Tuo. "But why do you want to show me?" Looking at the empty courtyard in front of him, his eyes were confused.
"Do you really not know, or do you not want to know?" Yue Tuo suddenly looked at Lan Xi'er with a straight face.
"Because of Du Du and Guohuan." Lan Xi'er snorted coldly, the elder brother and Taiji of the Xinjueluo family, are they really unable to hide.
"She is a concubine, so she naturally knows that after the funeral, her brothers will not ask her whether she is alive or dead, and she is lucky to be trapped in this mansion, and the only thing in the second half of her life is to survive. If you are unlucky, you won't be out for a few days, and it will be rumored that Dafujin will be martyred in this mansion. ”
Lan Xi'er looked at Yue Tuo calmly, such stories are commonplace in the mansion. At the beginning, Ji Nai relied on the holy decree of Marfa to descend into the great fortune of this mansion out of thin air, and the original blessings in the mansion were naturally unconvinced. When Fei Yingdong was alive, he always had to give some face and would not touch her, but now that Fei Yingdong is gone, how can those Fujin people be willing to keep her to get a piece of the pie.
"Yes, if you are alone, even if you can live in peace, I am afraid that the road ahead will be frightening step by step." Lan Xi'er bit her lip and sighed lightly.
"So her best and only option is to go home with Du Du and them. Her husband had just died, so she naturally couldn't take the initiative to ask to leave this mansion. Du Du has no feelings for Ji Nai, even if they have deep feelings, they will not take the initiative to take her home, after all, it is unreasonable. So she had to use bitter tricks to make her look like she was being abused, this is the most useful way to take her out of the Gualga Mansion, of course, she wants to attract the attention of Du Du and them without making a big deal about it, if she can satisfy both points, you Lan Xi'er is more suitable than herself. ”
Lan Xi'er smiled bitterly and shook her head, shouldn't she thank Ji Nai for looking up to herself so much. Yes, the most plausible reason for leaving this mansion now is that she was abused. And the abuse can't be Zhang Yang, after all, the people in the house didn't touch her.
If Guo Luomafa knew that Ji Nai didn't go to the vigil and was still taken away by her, she Lan Xi'er could also go to see Fei Yingdong. So whether it is Du Du or Guohuan, when they know that she took Ji Nai, they will not make a big publicity.
Lan Xi'er raised her eyes and looked at Yue Tuo again, and suddenly felt very sure that even if Yue Tuo and Du Zhi knew about this matter first, they would definitely handle it carefully. So Ji Nai wrote and directed a good show.
"You could have seen it early in the morning." Lan Xi'er propped up her eyes and looked at Yue Tuo listlessly.
"Ji Nai is the last person to see Fei Yingdong, Marfa will definitely see her, the people in the house will not move her at this time, not to mention that we are all here, and they don't have the courage." When Yue Tuo spit out the last few words, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a domineering aura emanated, which was the domineering spirit of the king.
Lan Xi'er shook her head, Yue Tuo and they were all in the mourning hall, there was indeed no one in this mansion who dared to touch Ji Nai, so the bitter meat plan didn't work at all, and she didn't go to the vigil, so it all fell on her. If you want to go home safely and smoothly with Du Du, it is simply wishful thinking. And everything is different when Ji Nai finds herself, and it is precisely because she is involved that Du Du and they will solve her problem privately.
Whether it is Du Du or Guo Huan, she is not willing to implicate her Lan Xi'er, so she will definitely agree to Ji Nai's request, think about it, you know that what Ji Nai wants most is to leave Guarjia Mansion, and in fact, Guo Huan did this. This is a gamble, the bet is love, but it is not between their brothers and sisters, but Du Du and Guohuan's love for her Lan Xi'er.
Lan Xi'er glanced at Yue Tuo deeply with a pair of bright eyes, thinking of his sentence "They are all here, and the people in the mansion dare not touch Ji Nai", and said with a sneer on the corner of his mouth: "It turns out that the four words of love for Xinjueluo in this bone and blood are not useless." ”
Yue Tuo chuckled, knowing that she was sarcastic about them, yes, if any of them really cared about Ji Nai, she didn't have to go to such a great length. It's just that Yue Tuo sighed lightly, the difference between the concubines and the concubines is something that they have recognized since they were children, and they have long been ingrained in their hearts. Even hot blood can't warm the innate indifference. It can even be said that they didn't care about Ji Nai, but they didn't realize that they should take care of Ji Nai's affairs from the beginning.
"Isn't this her home?" Lan Xi'er looked at the sky. There was a hint of sadness in his eyes.
"There's no nostalgia here." Yue Tuo sighed lightly, a trace of sadness welled up in his eyes, and looked around at the shocking white cloth. He quickly shook his head, and when he looked at Lan Xi'er again, his eyes had returned to the gentleness they had just now.
"Fei Ying Dongrong Ma has been a hero all his life, and now that his bones are not cold, his pillow man has begun to make all kinds of calculations, hmph, won't this pillow man have a disturbed conscience?"
"In this kind of big mansion, who is not not at ease, interests first. When people are talking about interests, there will be feelings when people are gone, and for them, peace of mind is a kind of ethereal at all. ”
Yue Tuo's words made Lan Xi'er feel a chill. A pair of eyes gently lowered his eyelashes, and asked softly unconsciously:
"Interests come first, including marriage?"
Yue Tuo knew that she was not a calculating person since she was a child, and at that moment she understood what she meant, a trace of ripples set off in her heart, a pair of eyes, amber eyes were bottomless, as if she wanted to suck Lan Xi'er in front of her into her eyes. Said slowly: "You should understand that when the interests are mutually reinforcing, marriage is the most straightforward combination. ”
Lan Xi'er raised her head and looked at Yue Tuo, in her delicate face and calm eyes, sometimes it was complicated, sometimes it was very simple, she wanted to see it clearly.
The two of them looked at each other like this, and there was some affection in their eyes, looming.
Lan Xi'er finally avoided Yue Tuo's eyes, and shook her head lightly: "Didn't you say that Guo Luomafa is coming, you better hurry back to the mourning hall." ”
Yue Tuo saw that she suddenly changed the topic, and felt a little lost in his heart, looked at her deeply, and finally nodded. Under the moonlight, her eyes were even brighter, dressed in white, fresh and elegant, fluttering like a fairy, and the feelings that had clearly been exuded in her eyes made his heart throb. Yue Tuo took another step closer in front of Lan Xi'er, stroked her hair, lowered his head and kissed her lightly on the forehead.
Lan Xi'er only felt a cold forehead, trembling in her heart, and looked at Yue Tuo in disbelief, but seeing that he was handsome, she smiled affectionately and said softly: "The side Fujin in this mansion is not good, don't run around, go to the third aunt." After speaking, she nodded stupidly, smiled softly, and turned to leave.
Lan Xi'er only felt that her body and mind were hot, and she couldn't calm down for a long time looking at that figure......
