Chapter 11: The House
Lu Yan was frightened awake.
Sitting up suddenly, looking at the darkness in front of her and the bed curtain gently dancing in the darkness, it took Lu Yan a long time to come back to her senses.
She looked up and wiped her forehead, in exchange for wet marks all over her hands.
Nightmares!
Lu Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
She felt that Xu had such a dream because the figure of the lady she saw in Zhiyuan's study during the day was a bit similar to Ji Qing.
Although it was a dream, Ji Qing's eyes in the end made Lu Yan a little uneasy.
Then......
Did Ji Qing know that she was going to tell the whistle?
No, it can't be!
From beginning to end, she didn't show up herself, she just quietly followed behind Ji Qing, and the matter of suing the official was also borrowed from the little beggar's mouth, how could Ji Qing know that it was her?
After several times of self-comfort, Lu Yan finally relaxed completely.
Because of this dream, Lu Yan thought of Ji Qing, and then thought of the people who were exiled from the Ji family.
She knew that the rest of the Jingningbo Mansion was looking forward to the return of the Ji family, and the reason why Ning Hao asked to marry her in the first place was also because of this thought.
No one knew that Lu Yan, who was supposed to be the closest to the Ji family, didn't want the Ji family to return to Beijing at all.
Regarding Ning Hao's thoughts, Lu Yan sneered even more.
Counting on the Ji family, he didn't want to think about it, the adult men of the Ji family had already been beheaded, even if there were still two men, one was ten years old and the other was only five years old, and now they are only twenty and fifteen years old.
Even if the Ji family really returns to the capital, it depends on whether anyone can afford the lintel of the Ji family, if Ji Lang and Ji Rui have been growing up in the Ji family in the past, they may be very good now, but in the past ten years, they have been exiled thousands of miles away, what else can they do?
Is it difficult for the Ji family to succeed and live by pointing to the guilt and gratitude of the new emperor to the Ji family?
Besides, it has been four years since the new emperor ascended the throne, but he has never mentioned the matter of reversing the case for the Ji family, who knows what the new emperor thinks, and who knows that the new emperor really wants to let the Ji family return to Beijing?
Thinking of this, Lu Yan felt even more at ease.
This peace of mind, drowsiness naturally followed.
Closing her eyes, before Lu Yan fell asleep, her last thought was, the Ji family, don't go back to Beijing, just stay in those thousands of miles away for the rest of your life.
……
A dreamless night.
When Ji Qing opened his eyes, he saw the book placed next to his pillow.
Gently stroking the book cover, she exhaled softly.
put away the books first, and then Ji Qing called the maids to come in to serve and freshen up, and then ordered someone to prepare the car, and waited until he had breakfast to deal with the affairs in the house, and then took Honeysuckle and Holly out together.
Holly was a little excited: "Master, where are you going today?" ”
Ji Qing rarely goes out, Honeysuckle and Holly occasionally go out of the house on orders, but there are not many opportunities to go out, and now they go out with Ji Qing for two days in a row, not to mention Holly, even the calm Honeysuckle is difficult to hide his heart.
Ji Qing was amused by Holly: "Go and sell your girl!" ”
"Master!" Holly stomps.
Ji Qing couldn't help laughing.
As they spoke, the three of them had already arrived at the Hanging Flower Gate, and then boarded the carriage and left.
Not long after the carriage left the second gate, a woman in a peach-pink dress caught up, looked at the carriage that had gone away through the hanging flower door that had not yet been closed, and stomped her feet a little unwillingly.
Behind her, two maids quickly caught up: "Girl, you better go back quickly, the grandmother who taught you the rules is almost here, if you don't see you......"
The woman, that is, the dancing girl Li Niang who was brought back by He Zhang, glared at the maid who spoke when she heard the words.
She originally thought that she was given a congratulatory chapter by An Guogong, and was taken back to Hefu by Hezhang, and she should live a good life from now on, where could she have thought that it would be a few days since she came to Hefu, not to mention becoming He Zhang's concubine as she thought, and even He Zhang's face was never seen again.
Also, what kind of Ruyi lady is in this He Mansion, she is obviously a nameless and undivided person, but she really put on a score of being a housewife, and even let people teach her the rules!
As long as Li Niang thinks of this, she can't get angry.
What is hateful is that the people of this He Mansion really treat Mrs. Ruyi as a serious lady, even these two little maids are always staring at her, if it weren't for these two maids dragging their feet, she would definitely pull Mrs. Ruyi and make her faceless!
was stared at by the two maids, no matter how unwilling Li Niang was, she could only go back to the yard where she lived with hatred.
……
After Ji Qing boarded the carriage, he told the coachman where he was going today.
"Xinghua Hutong in the west of the city." Ji Qing said.
Both honeysuckle and holly could see the joy in Ji Qing's eyes.
But......
Xinghua Hutong, what's there?
Ji Qing saw the curiosity on the faces of the two maids, and didn't want to hide it: "Xinghua Hutong, there is my house there." ”
If Honeysuckle and Holly were willing, Ji Qing wanted to leave the He Mansion with them.
That being the case, of course, there is no need to hide it.
Besides, it's not something to hide.
Even if Ji Qing wants to leave the He Mansion, it will be a dignified departure, not a sneaky one, so why hide it?
Although Honeysuckle and Holly have been by Ji Qing's side for so many years, the two of them don't actually have any understanding of Ji Qing's past.
He Fu was also in the west of the city, not far from Xinghua Hutong, and it didn't take long for the carriage to gradually stop.
"Madam, Xinghua Hutong has arrived." The coachman is on the outer road.
Honeysuckle and Holly got out of the carriage first, and then helped Ji Qing down.
Ji Qing looked at the surrounding environment.
The capital has always had the saying that the east is rich and the west is noble, and the dignitaries in the court are summoned by the emperor for convenience, so they live in the west of the imperial city.
This Xinghua Hutong is naturally the same.
Ji Qing got out of the carriage and walked all the way towards his house, and saw that every household along the way had a door outside the door, and there were pairs on the lintel, which showed that these people were all official eunuchs.
Not long after, Ji Qing stopped in front of a house with two maids.
This house looks a little old, even a little dilapidated, even the red paint on the two pillars outside the gate is a little peeling, but you can still vaguely see the scenery of this house in the early years.
"Madame, is this your house?" Holly couldn't help but ask.
The two maids have also stayed in the He Mansion for so many years, so they can naturally see from some subtleties that this house is not ordinary, and it is precisely because of this that the two of them are so confused.
