Chapter 157: Willingly
Seeing that the long arrow fell into the mouth of the pot like this, everyone present was dumbfounded.
Even Yuan Jiaojiao, who knew Ji Yanning's superb archery skills, looked like she had seen a ghost.
The blindfolded immortal carried the sword on his back!
"This fucking can be hit!" a boy brother stood up and exclaimed.
The others came back to their senses and clapped their hands.
Ji Yanning took off the blindfolded cloth towel, glanced back, and then smiled at everyone.
The corners of her eyes were crooked, full of stars, and she smiled as if the flowers around her were blooming, which made everyone can't help but wink.
But for a moment, she smiled again, saluted slightly, pointed to someone casually, and then left the garden with Yuan Jiaojiao under the pretext of going back to rest.
As soon as she got out of the garden, Yuan Jiaojiao couldn't help but ask: "Did you really throw the immortal sword on your back just now or was it lucky?"
"What do you say?" Ji Yanning asked her rhetorically.
"No!" Yuan Jiaojiao was extremely surprised, recalling the night when she came to save herself, Ji Yanning fired three arrows at once, each arrow was an arrow through the throat, it can be seen that Ji Yanning's archery skills are not comparable to ordinary people.
Yuan Jiaojiao couldn't help but sigh Fortunately, she was interested at the time and didn't become a mortal enemy with Ji Yanning, otherwise she could choose a hundred ways to die.
They were talking and walking in the direction of the courtyard where the ladies were, but they didn't expect to meet Duan Wufang.
Duan Wufang still had an expressionless face, and his eyes looked at Yuan Jiaojiao and Ji Yanning, as if he was waiting for them.
Yuan Jiaojiao frowned, planning to make a detour with Ji Yanning.
"Wait. Duan Wuflawless stopped them.
Yuan Jiaojiao said unhappily: "What's the matter?"
Duan Wuflaw ignored her, but looked at Ji Yanning: "Ji Yanning, what did you do to King Xuan?"
Ji Yanning was puzzled: "What you are asking is strange, he is a prince, I am just a few people's daughters, what can I do to him?"
Duan Wuflawless saw that her face was indifferent, and his face sank.
He knew that Rong Che liked Ji Yanning, otherwise he wouldn't be so attentive to her, but Ji Yanning seemed to be indifferent, and he didn't know what she said to Rong Che.
"If you have time, go to the Xuan Palace. Duan Wuflaw said.
Ji Yanning's eyes flashed slightly, and he said, "I'm not free." β
Duan Wufang sneered, exuding a chill all over his body.
He didn't say anything else, just gave them a cold look, turned and left.
Yuan Jiaojiao looked at his departing back and muttered in a low voice: "There's something wrong with him." β
Ji Yanning lowered his eyes, his face gradually darkened, he didn't say anything more, and continued to walk forward with Yuan Jiaojiao.
The ladies were chatting in the courtyard, Ji Yanning and Yuan Jiaojiao returned to An's side, and when they saw the two girls coming, the other ladies exchanged pleasantries.
"This is Miss Yuan, but she's a good child. One of the ladies looked at Yuan Jiaojiao, and there was a slight satisfaction in her eyes.
Yuan Jiaojiao just bowed her head slightly and did not answer.
There was a hint of a smile in Ji Yanning's eyes.
The lady in front of her has a good relationship with the Zuo Xiangfu, but I am afraid that it is negotiated with the Murong family, after all, how to say that Yuan Jiaojiao is also the biological daughter of the Murong family, if she can get married, not only can she have a relationship with the Yuan Mansion and the military generals' mansion, but the relationship with the Zuo Xiangfu is not much worse.
The other ladies didn't know the twists and turns.
So looking at Yuan Jiaojiao's gaze is also a little different.
Yuan Jiaojiao has never liked to deal with these ladies, and her face is a little cold.
Ji Yanning felt that there were eyes staring at her, and looked not far away, and saw a lady looking at her, she bowed her head slightly, which was a symbolic salute.
That was Mrs. Shen of the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Industry, that is, Shen Qingyi's aunt.
Her marriage contract with the Shen family has been dissolved, but she can't make enemies with Shen Shangshu, and there should still be etiquette.
Mrs. Shen also knew about Shen Qingyi, and heard that her sister-in-law canceled Shen Qingyi's marriage with two shops, because she didn't look down on the Ji family's merchant status, and felt that there were many promising sons from small households.
But the marriage contract was made by the old lady back then, and she got married in order to repay the Ji family's life-saving kindness, but she didn't expect it to become like this, and it also damaged the reputation of the Shen family, after all, the little girl's parents were bullied like this not long after their death, which is really unreasonable.
I didn't expect this girl to be the daughter of the Liu family, but now when I see it, she has a good temperament, and she doesn't have to be worse than other young ladies of the family.
Mrs. Shen smiled gently, and her impression of this little girl was not bad.
It's just a pity that I have no fate with Yi'er.
But with Yi'er's talent, maybe you can find a better one.
Ji Yanning naturally didn't know that Mrs. Shen had thought so much in her heart, she had stayed in this poetry meeting long enough, said hello to An's family, and left with Yuan Jiaojiao.
"Next time I am killed, I won't come to such a poetry meeting. As soon as she got into the carriage, Yuan Jiaojiao couldn't help but complain to Ji Yanning, "What Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Meng, and Mrs. Gu looked at me just now, just like the eyes of shopping around on the street!"
Ji Yanning couldn't help laughing.
"You're embarrassed to laugh!" Yuan Jiao puffed up squeamishly.
Ji Yanning said: "Mrs. Zhang's husband is your father's protΓ©gΓ©, and Mrs. Meng's husband is your father's subordinate, the Gu family and Murong Mansion have always had a relationship, maybe they are all the families that Mrs. Murong picked for you, and they think it's not bad, so they will let them get close to you." β
Yuan Jiaojiao sneered: "These people are so good, why didn't she keep it for Feng Pheasant!"
On weekdays, when she was angry, she would call Murong Yixue Feng Pheasant Niang, which was Murong Yixue's exclusive name before.
Ji Yanning said: "Murong Yixue seems to like the third prince, so naturally she doesn't look down on other people's families. β
"She doesn't like it, so she wants to give it to me? Yuan Jiaojiao said, "It's not their turn to call the shots in my family affairs." β
Ji Yanning raised her eyes and looked at her: "Mrs. Murong is also your biological mother, maybe she is more inclined to Murong Yixue directly in your sisters, but she can't deny her feelings for you, you have been away for so many years, she will feel a little guilty, and the person she picked for you is naturally attentive." β
Yuan Jiaojiao's eyes were slightly dark, don't look over.
She and Murong Yixue are twin sisters, but she almost died at the hands of Murong Yixue twice, if Rong Che hadn't arrived in time last time, I was afraid that she and Ji Yanning would have died unexpectedly, and even affected the people of the Yuan family, with such a thing, how could she forgive Murong Yixue.
However, her mother unreasonably wanted to keep Murong Yixue.
She didn't want Murong Yixue to die, she just wanted her to leave Chang'an, but her mother felt that such a humble request was excessive.
Compared with Murong Yixue's grievances, her life seems so insignificant!
Sometimes she even thinks that if she was really killed by Murong Yixue, would her mother still want to keep Murong Yixue......
As soon as she thought of this, her heart couldn't help but hurt.
That's why she wants to break off with Murong Mansion, which is good for everyone.
She looked at Ji Yanning: "Since they want to marry someone who is familiar with Murong Mansion, I don't want to! You say, who has the worst relationship with Murong Mansion, I have to think about it!"
Ji Yanning blinked and said: "Murong Zuoxiang has always been more upright, and his position is high, and the court and the central government naturally have few officials who have a dislike for him, but it is said that the military generals have always been difficult to get along with, and it is not groundless. Literati and warriors had different personalities and different concerns, so the Chinese military generals were the most likely to have different opinions. β
Yuan Jiaojiao heard her say such a big push, frowned and said, "Then who is the most discordant with Murong Mansion?"
Ji Yanning said: "Discord is not counted, but there are a few people who do not interact with each other, such as Dingbei Hou Mansion, Jinanbo Mansion, General Duan Mansion, General Liu Mansion and so on. There is no suitable age for a man to marry in Nanbo Mansion, but you should be familiar with Dingbei Hou Mansion and Duan General Mansion, that is, Xiao Shaobei and Duan Wuflawless, and the second son of General Liu's Mansion is also a young talent......"
Yuan Jiaojiao interrupted her: "Aren't these the ones my grandmother chose for me?"
Ji Yanning nodded her forehead: "Yes, because of your special status, whether it is a civil minister or a military general, almost all of them are up to you." After all, there are the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion and the Yuan Mansion behind them, and with such interests at the forefront, who can refuse such a temptation?"
After listening to Ji Yanning's words, Yuan Jiaojiao fell silent, and her face was a little ugly.
She has become the fragrant bait snatched by others?
Just because of her background?
Ji Yanning said: "I am telling you this, not to stimulate you, but to make you clear about your current situation and value, so as not to fall into other people's calculations." In this turbulent Chang'an, there are too few people who can be alone, those who have no value will be abandoned, and those who are valuable will be ruthlessly calculated, this is the reality. β
Yuan Jiaojiao looked at her: "Is there no sincerity if you remove the value?"
"Of course, there is, but compared to using each other, the sincerity of what you need is very small, so it is also precious. Ji Yanning said, "Otherwise, how can so many people respect the unrealistic love in those words?"
"Then we treat each other sincerely, right?" asked Yuan Jiaojiao again.
Ji Yanning lowered his eyes and chuckled, and shook his head: "No, have you forgotten why I kept you by my side in the first place? If you were just a thief, I probably wouldn't have paid attention to you. β
Yuan Jiaojiao pursed her lips and said, "That was the beginning, so what about now?"
"There is sincerity and use. Ji Yanning said, "I'm not a pure-hearted person. β
Yuan Jiaojiao looked at her: "It's okay, I'm willing." β
Ji Yanning spread his hands and looked embarrassed: "It's a pity that I can't marry you." β
Yuan Jiaojiao looked disgusted: "Who wants you to marry! The man who wants to marry this girl can line up from the Yuan Mansion to the gate of Chang'an City!"
Seeing her like this, Ji Yanning finally couldn't help laughing.
