Standing at the gate of the empty Qing'an Courtyard, Ji Er looked at the back of the man standing outside the threshold and quietly looking at the courtyard, with some mixed feelings.

Ji Mo said that he hadn't come to see Ji Qingyuan and them for a while, not for a while.

It's one year, three months, and eighteen days.

As the old man of the Ji family, Ji Er's brain is not bright. But he was favored by the old head of the Ji family and sent to his only son, and even served as the housekeeper of the National Teacher's Mansion, all because his memory is better than ordinary people.

He remembers everything Ji Mo has done and everyone he has met since he was a child.

Maybe it's because he's getting older, and he's always thinking about a lot of things lately.

It is said that people become old and fine, but in fact, Ji Er didn't think he was much wiser when he got older.

Old people just know more secrets than young people.

For example, he remembered the time when Ji Mo came to Qing'an Courtyard every time.

I also remember what Ji Mo himself may have forgotten, when he carried Ji Qingyuan back to his study, the initial appearance when he got along with his son.

Ji Qingyuan is Ji Mo's first son, and it was just a full moon when he came to the National Teacher's Mansion, and the National Teacher's Mansion was only built at that time, and many of the courtyards that are now available are not available now.

For example, Cheong'an Temple.

Qing'an Courtyard is named after Ji Qingyuan and Ji Ange, as the name suggests, it was built after Ji Ange also came to the National Teacher's Mansion.

Before Ji Ange was born, Ji Qingyuan had actually been living by Ji Mo's side.

"Qingyuan and his sister, who allowed them to go out?" Looking at the empty courtyard, Ji Er heard the man in front of him ask coldly.

The man's voice was cold, so cold that it didn't look like he was calling for his own child.

Even, since he returned home, Ji Mo was reluctant to mention Ji Ange's name even once.

Ji Mo doesn't like Ji Ange, and he doesn't like her name.

However, looking at the back of the man in front of him, Ji Er felt a trace of embarrassment in his heart.

"Eldest son, if you really want to go out, sir, you know, the formation outside this courtyard is not used to stop them." Ji Er bowed down behind Ji Mo and said.

The old man bent down deeply, feeling the sudden cold power of the person in front of him, but what appeared in front of him was the helpless look of the young man who had just known that he had become a father.

Twenty years have passed.

Twenty years ago, the resolute woman left the child and left, but the master suddenly had a child in the house before marrying his relatives, and it suddenly became a mess.

Because Ji Mo himself only has a servant and a scholar to serve, not to mention the hostess, there is not even a maid in the National Teacher's Mansion. The sudden blow caught a group of rough men in the National Teacher's Mansion off guard.

Ji Er, as the only old man who is more serious, hurriedly ran out to find a nurse for Ji Qingyuan, as for the little master, who will take it for the time being...... Then he can only leave it to his father to solve.

And when he found someone sweating profusely and returned to the National Teacher's Mansion, he saw an extremely strange scene.

Ji Mo sat in the study and meditated, the child was on his lap, and the two of them stared at each other like this.

For a long time, this was the daily life of the father and son.

Ji Qingyuan, who has already reached the crown, may not know that the first period of his life was not brought by his subordinates at all.

Before Ji Qingyuan was sensible, before Ji Qingyuan didn't remember, Ji Mo could put him on his lap and watch him motionless all day.

"Second Uncle Ji, why didn't he cry?"

"Childe...... The little boy is asleep......"

"Second Uncle Ji, do you say he looks like me?"

Ji Er remembered that he looked at the face of the child in swaddling clothes, and nodded not too disobediently, "Like you, like you." ”

And even at that time, he didn't expect that Ji Qingyuan would be so similar to Ji Mo later.

Maybe it's because Ji Qingyuan is the only child who was brought up by Ji Mo.

However, all this changed as Ji Qingyuan grew up.

Ji Qingyuan's identity was not recognized by Ji Mo's father, the head of the Ji family, and was not included in the Ji family tree. This is destined that Ji Qingyuan can only be an illegitimate child in his life.

The Qin State won more and more battles in the north, and Ji Qingyuan's biological mother's status in front of the crown prince of the Qin State became higher and higher.

There are also more and more rumors about that woman and Emperor Ying.

Some people even say that the woman has already entered Emperor Ying's harem.

Ji Mo became more and more silent and cold, and he became more and more cold towards Ji Qingyuan.

Ji Er still remembered that Ji Mo once stared at the face of the baby on his lap and asked, "Second Uncle Ji, this is her own child, she will always come back to see him." ”

He nodded.

In fact, Lin Shubai did not appear often.

But he doesn't know if the two have been in contact in private.

Although he is Ji Mo's side, Ji Er does not fully understand the matter between Ji Mo and Lin Shubai.

After all, he didn't know how Ji Qingyuan came here......

And after Ji Qingyuan was three years old, Ji Mo found someone to take him and let him move out of his study, Ji Er originally thought that Ji Mo and Lin Shubai had already broken off.

However, Ji Ange appeared later.

Well, the old man really doesn't understand what is going on between men and women.

However, he couldn't understand Ji Mo's feelings for Lin Shubai, but Ji Mo's dislike for another girl, Ji Er remembered it clearly.

Because this disgust has never changed from beginning to end.

Ji Mo stood outside the Qing'an Courtyard and didn't go in, but the man's eyes brushed over the grass and trees in the courtyard.

He looked at the chessboard carved on the ground, at the many more dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen, and at the ornaments made by women hanging on the window edge of the west courtyard, and his eyes became darker and darker.

Ji Er's heart sank more and more as he looked at him.

Just by looking at these traces, you can know how many happy times this courtyard has.

However, he didn't know what these traces looked like in Ji Mo's eyes.

"You said before that Kaki wanted to change the place for that woman." Ji Mo stood at the gate of the courtyard and said lightly, "What, does Jiashu like her very much?" ”

Ji Er was stunned, how should he answer this?

However, the more frightening problem was yet to come.

"You can't answer, then I'll ask a different question," Ji Mo asked lightly.

"Does Qingyuan like her very much?" The man spoke quietly, and there was an emotion in his eyes that Ji Er couldn't understand, "Like her so much that as long as she appears, his eyes will be nailed to her?" ”

Like her to the point that whenever she appears, the eyes are nailed to her.

The man's voice was calm, but Ji Er felt a chill in his back when he heard it.

It's all about asking something.

Ask Ji Jiashu how he feels about that woman, he can understand, after all, Ji Jiashu and that girl have a marriage contract, and this marriage contract was arranged by Ji Mo himself, and it is understandable to ask about the real relationship between the two.

But how to ask the question differently...... It was actually changed to Ji Qingyuan?

Can these two brothers be the same?

Ji Er was stunned and looked at the man in front of him who asked this sentence with an expressionless face, so he was actually asking now......

What is the relationship between the future brother-in-law and the eldest brother?

Anyway, it's a terrible question.

Like her to the point that whenever she shows up, the eyes are nailed to her...... It's like I've seen it countless times.

Ji Er looked at the back of the man in front of him, his heart beating like a drum.

What did he remember?

He...... Guessed what?
