On the first day of the first lunar month, the Ji family gathered in the main hall, and several juniors kowtowed to Mrs. Ji one by one.

Old Mrs. Ji had a smile on her face, held a red envelope in her hand, and handed them to the juniors one by one.

After the junior finished the New Year's greeting, the family had breakfast together, and Ji Chengmu was sent by General Ji to take Ji Chengmo and go out to pay New Year's greetings.

Ji Ruhuan was still recuperating from her injuries, of course she couldn't go out, but General Ji saw that her daughter was in good spirits, so he also let her stay in the main hall, waiting for other juniors from relatives and friends to come to the house to pay New Year's greetings.

And this year, it is rare that Aunt Qing was actually left in the main hall, and the meaning of this is somewhat clear after a little thought.

Of course Ji Ruhuan is happy, if Aunt Qing is corrected, the second brother will be the eldest son, and the unknown eldest brother and Aunt Yun will have to stand aside in the future.

Mrs. Ji frowned slightly when she saw that her son had left Aunt Qing behind, but she didn't open her mouth to dismantle her son's platform on the spot, and she was dissatisfied and pressed in her heart.

Before anyone came to the door, Steward Wu hurriedly came in from the door, and after giving a salute, he said, "The little flower who disappeared in the north with Miss is back." ”

Ji Ruhuan stood up excitedly, "What about people?"

Steward Wu responded, "That girl must be in a hurry, a little embarrassed, the old slave let her take her down to freshen up first." ”

Old Madam Ji frowned and reprimanded, "Huan'er, pay attention to your appearance, just a girl." ”

Ji Ruhuan bent down and responded, "Huan'er knows her mistake." ”

After that, he sat back in his place in a proper manner.

General Ji opened his mouth and instructed Steward Wu, "Take people to the study in a while." ”

After speaking, he stood up and saluted the old lady Ji in the first place, "Mother, the child will go to the study first, and come back later." ”

Old Madam Ji's brows furrowed even tighter, and she reprimanded, "It's just a girl, and you can't meet in person." ”

General Ji probably also knew why his mother was unhappy, but he had to see it, so he had to explain, "That girl went to the north with Huan'er and disappeared, and now someone in the court is making a fuss about this, and my son must go and see it." ”

As soon as she heard that it was related to the court, Old Madam Ji didn't dare to say anything more, and waved her hand.

Ji Ruhuan watched her father leave, and also took the opportunity to stand up and said, "Grandmother, Huan'er is a little tired and wants to go back to rest." ”

Old Madam Ji's displeasure was almost written on her face, but Ji Ruhuan was still injured, and it was not easy to stop her, so she had to be allowed to go back.

Of course, Ji Ruhuan was not really tired, and as soon as he left the main hall, he walked quickly towards his father's study.

She went to the vicinity of her father's study, but she happened to meet Steward Wu coming over with Xiaohua.

Ji Ruhuan stepped forward excitedly, grabbed the little flower who was about to kneel down and salute her, looked up and down, and saw that everything was normal, and there were no missing arms or legs, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

On the side, Steward Wu opened his mouth to remind, "The general is still waiting in the study, and the young lady will take the girl in to see the general first." ”

Ji Ruhuan nodded, pulled the little lace to the study and asked, "Where have you been these days, why are you only coming back now?"

Xiaohua was about to answer, when General Ji's deep voice came from the study, "Let's talk about it first." ”

After entering the study, Steward Wu took the door of the study from the outside and guarded the door himself.

"The slave has seen the general, the young lady. ”

Xiaohua knelt down to salute, Ji Ruhuan stood aside and hurriedly stretched out his hand to help, but General Ji, who was sitting in the first place, took out the momentum of a general, and said in a majestic voice, "Ruhuan, come here." ”

Ji Ruhuan didn't know why, but she still obediently went over and stood beside her father.

General Ji looked at Xiaohua who was kneeling on the ground, and asked in a cold voice, "As Miss's personal maidservant, you can't take good care of Miss, and you haven't been missing for so long, are you guilty?"

Ji Ruhuan hurriedly opened her mouth to help, "Daddy, the situation was urgent at that time, and we had few people, so we could only act separately, so we got separated, how can you blame her." ”

General Ji replied, "What is the reason for being missing for so long, and actually coming back with all beards and tails? Since it's okay, I should have come back a long time ago." ”

The little flower knelt down and kowtowed, "The slave is guilty, it is the slave who failed to take care of the young lady." ”

General Ji looked at Xiaohua and scolded coldly, "To be honest, where have you been and what have you done these days?"

Ji Ruhuan thought about what her father said before, and the court was making a fuss about her disappearance, so she didn't stop her father's questioning, and also looked at Xiaohua kneeling in front of her.

"The slave maid was separated from the young lady and searched for it on the shore of the West Sea, but was found by the West Navy and seriously injured. ”

"I thought that I would die in the West Sea, but I didn't want to be rescued, so the slave was taken to an island, and it took me from a coma for several months before I woke up, and after the injury was healed, I hurried back. ”

General Ji continued to ask while observing Xiao Huabian, "Who saved you?

Xiaohua showed a puzzled look on her face, "The slave and maid don't know, the slave and the maid are also curious to ask, but the mother-in-law who took care of the slave and the maid said that if you want to live, don't ask around, but the slave and maid have inadvertently heard them talk about it, what is that island called, Wind Comes Island?"

General Ji suddenly spoke, "Penglai Island." ”

Xiaohua hurriedly answered, "Yes, it's called Penglai Island." ”

Ji Ruhuan looked at his father in surprise, "Daddy knows about Penglai Island, who is Penglai Island?"

General Ji's face became dark, and he answered, "Do you know the old man of Tianji?"

Ji Ruhuan responded, "Of course I know, the legendary characters, who doesn't know about this Zhongzhou Continent." ”

General Ji continued, "It is said that the old man of Tianji lived in seclusion on Penglai Island, but Penglai Island is extremely secret, and many people have traveled all over the West Sea in order to find the old man of Tianji, but they have not found any trace of Penglai Island. ”

The little flower replied, "When the slave was sent out of Penglai Island, she passed through a thick fog, and after getting out of that thick fog, when you look back, there is nothing, such a big island, as if it disappeared out of thin air." ”

Ji Ruhuan's eyes widened, "So magical?"

General Ji looked at Xiaohua, who was still kneeling on the ground, "Are you sure you were rescued by the people of Penglai Island?"

Xiaohua was a little hesitant, "The slave is not sure, but I have heard of it once, and the island is called Penglai Island." ”

General Ji continued to ask, "Who have you seen on that island?"

Xiaohua responded, "Just a mother-in-law who is over fifty years old, and a person who treats the slave maid's injuries, but the slave maid has never seen it, and every time that person comes, the slave and maid are blindfolded." ”

However, listening to the conversation between the man and the mother-in-law, it did not seem that they had completely good intentions in saving the slave and maid, and they still wanted to test the man's medical skills with the slave and maid. ”

Ji Ruhuan asked curiously, "Why?"

Xiaohua responded, "Because the slave heard the mother-in-law praise that person, 'This person actually let the fifth master save him, and the fifth master's medical skills are really getting more and more exquisite'." ”

"After the slave and maid were injured, the mother-in-law originally didn't want to let the slave and maid go, saying that the slave and maid wanted to leave there unless they died. ”

The slave thought that the young lady was still alive and dead, and refused to stay there, and was willing to die to leave, and then she didn't know what was going on, so the mother-in-law actually sent the slave and the maid back to the shore, and the slave and the maid heard that the young lady was still alive and had returned to Kyoto, so she rushed back. ”

General Ji sighed, "I didn't expect you to have such an adventure, get up." ”

Xiaohua stood up, "General Xie." ”

Ji Ruhuan said with a regretful face, "Didn't you go to Penglai Island and not be able to meet the old man of the Heavenly Machine? ”

General Ji replied, "Do you think that the old man of Tianji is so easy to see when he wants to?" Okay, I should also go to the main hall, you can take the young lady back to rest first." ”

Ji Ruhuan hurriedly said, "Daddy, didn't you say that the people in the court are making a fuss about Xiaohua's disappearance? Xiaohua is back now, it will be fine, right?"
