Chapter 33: The Qin Family (1)
Everyone trembled and muttered.
Ji An felt as if he was really ten years younger, and came to Ci'an Hall in high spirits, and when Mrs. Ji saw him like this, she just shook her head helplessly, and she didn't break it.
The two of them also had breakfast happily, and after the meal, Ji An personally served Mrs. Ji to rinse her mouth, and hesitated for a while before saying: "Mother, my son will help you go to the yard for a walk, and it will be good for your health to consume food after dinner." β
In the end, it is the only son, and Mrs. Ji's heart is soft and she no longer has a cold face: "I'm old and don't like to move, you can go yourself." β
Ji An was no longer reluctant, he went out to open Ji Quan, and walked to the courtyard alone, deviating from the route as he walked.
"Star fruit, you stay and clean up the house, Qingmei will follow me to the old lady's side in a while." Xiang Meiran put down the eyebrows in his hand and looked at the two little maids with a smile.
Mrs. Ji arranged Xiang Meizhi in the wing room on the west side, and also gave her two little maids, one named star fruit and the other Qingmei, both of whom were fifteen or sixteen years old.
"It's too polite to the girl, the old lady originally asked the slaves and maids to serve the girl, if the girl has everything, just order the slaves and maids directly." Carambola bent over, very respectful.
"Then there will be labor." Xiang Meiran no longer shirked it, and took Qingmei's hand and walked towards the main courtyard where the old lady lived.
"Girl, that figure seems to be my master." Qingmei pointed to a cyan figure under the peach tree not far away, and then shook her head: "It's just that this style of dressing is not very similar." β
Xiang Meizhi frowned slightly, and was about to make a detour, but the cyan figure walked closer in a few steps.
"Xiang girl." Ji An spoke gently.
Qingmei was startled, and hurriedly bowed her head and saluted.
Xiang Meiran was also stunned when she saw Ji An's dress, she was still wearing a green coat today, but with two more laces, standing with Ji An at the moment seemed to be a couple.
"Mei Ran has seen Xiangye, thank you Xiangye for saving me yesterday." Xiang Xiang reacted to the eyebrow dye and bowed generously.
"It's not enough to worry about trivial things, just don't blame Ji for being abrupt." Ji An was an awe-inspiring gentleman on his face, and he was very proud in his heart, and getting along with Xiang Meiran like this made him feel very comfortable and comfortable, as if the whole person had become younger.
"How could it be, it was the eyebrow dyeing accidentally, the adult just rubbed the eyebrow dye." Xiang Meiran's tone was gentle, tactful and beautiful, like a small insect crawling through Ji An's heart, crispy and numb.
"Xiang girl, where are you going?" Ji An talked to Xiang Meiran vigorously.
"Thanks to the old lady's mercy, I stayed in the house for a few more days, and I was about to go to thank the old lady, so I wouldn't disturb the adults to visit the garden." Shi Yili was about to leave, and Ji Quan ran over out of breath in front of him.
"Master, someone from the Suguo Mansion is here, and it is the prince and his wife and General Qin, as well as the two sons."
"What did you say?" Ji An's brows furrowed, the momentum of the whole person changed, and the elegant appearance of the suitable talent disappeared without a trace, faintly remembering what the eldest daughter said yesterday, and secretly saying that it was not good in his heart.
Xiang Meiran saw that his face was different, and the hand holding Qingmei lowered his neck slightly, and a glimmer of light crossed his autumn-like eyes.
"Have you told the old lady?" Ji An wiped the sweat from his forehead, and was really scared of these two brothers-in-law in his heart, Qin Heng, the son of the world, is okay, they are all foxes for thousands of years, and you can still deal with your comings and goings.
But this Qin Lie Qin Second Master is a bastard, not to mention his short temper, because he has been in the army all the year round, with some military ruffians, and his temperament is straightforward, what do you say, no matter what kind of face is not faceless, it is normal to kick you if you don't agree with a word, last time I scolded him in front of everyone and scolded him bloody, and it was known to everyone, so that he went to court every day with the strange eyes of his colleagues during that time, and he was very aggrieved.
But the Suguo Mansion has a very high prestige in the army, and is deeply loved by the people, even the emperor treats them very favorably, and insulting the prime minister of the dynasty is only a few reprimands.
"The servant had already seen the old lady before he came." Ji Quandao.
Ji An turned to look at Xiang Meiran, and lowered his voice: "Miss Xiang doesn't have to go over today, let's have a good rest in the courtyard, I will explain your mind to her when I see my mother in a while." β
"Then there is Master Lao, and the eyebrow dye will retire first." Xiang Meiran didn't ask much, and obediently took Qingmei back to his room.
Ji An was very satisfied with her calm appearance, and waited for Xiang Meiran to walk a distance before hurriedly turning around and walking out.
In the main hall of the Ji Mansion, the atmosphere was a little weird, Qin Heng, the prince of Suguo, and his wife Ran sat on one side with solemn faces, and they didn't drink the tea on the table.
Ran is the only daughter of Ran Jinmao, the secretary of the ministry, with a delicate appearance, always with a gentle bookish atmosphere, she and Ji Guan's mother Qin is handkerchief, and then became a concubine, the relationship is even more intimate, I learned about Ji Wan from her husband, and I was distressed and angry, no matter what, I had to take a look to feel at ease, and I really couldn't take their sisters and brothers back to the Suguo Mansion to raise.
"Why hasn't this kid Ji An come yet, isn't he scared and afraid to see anyone." Qin Lie couldn't sit still, and he walked back and forth in the hall dozens of times without seeing anyone coming, and he was already very dissatisfied.
Hou was on the side of the little guy who heard him call his master's name by name and surname, and he was so shocked that he was messy in the wind, and he couldn't wait to shrink himself, how dare he answer.
"Second uncle, don't be impatient." Qin Zhao is Qin Heng's eldest son, he looks more like Ran, with fair skin, gentle eyebrows and eyes, and a faint smile always on the corner of his mouth, which makes people unconsciously warm their hearts when they see it.
Qin Can still looked like a hanger, crossed Erlang's legs, rolled his eyes and reclined on the chair without love, with a dog's tail grass in his mouth, if he hadn't been forced by his mother, he wouldn't have come to see that nasty ghost, today he also asked Lu Ming to go hunting together, alas!
"I don't know where my cousin Ji Guan and cousin Ji Ran are, why haven't I seen them for so long." Qin Zhao's tone was gentle, and he asked the little guy who was waiting on the side unhurriedly.
The little guy was stunned by his gentle attitude, but he was not as nervous as he was just now: "It's the slave's negligence, the slave is going to invite the little master, it's justβ"
Qin Lie saw that she couldn't say a reason for a long time, so he stopped his steps and interrupted him impatiently, and shouted: "It's just what, hurry up, it's annoying." β
His voice was already loud, his face was dark, and his eyes were like copper bells at the moment, so roared, the little guy was so frightened that he was about to cry, how dare he hide it, and his smile was more ugly than crying: "The eldest lady is grounded, the master does not let anyone see the eldest lady, and the slave does not dare to disobey the master's orders privately, and I ask for forgiveness from the lord." β
