In the early morning of April 12, the sound of horses' hooves on the official road was far away, and the corners of the young man's moonlit brocade robe were stained with a thin layer of dust.

Ji Wan squinted slightly, the light and shadow filtered through the willow leaves before she was willing to fall on the shoulders of the child, she had never seen such a beautiful man, fair skin, clean and slender hands, and even the nails were full of refreshing breath.

Qi Jia lowered his head sideways, with a string of small leaf sandalwood beads hanging on the placket of his snow-white clothes, and walked in front of Ji Juan by mistake and got into the carriage.

Behind the Xuanqing curtain, his moist jade voice sounded: "Don't you leave yet?" ”

Ji Wan came back to his senses and hurriedly followed.

She was about to get into the carriage, but was stopped by a round-faced maid: "The girl will sit behind us." ”

It turned out that there was an inconspicuous black painted flat-topped carriage behind it.

The carriage staggered back to the city, and the maids around Qi Gongzi were very well-behaved, and they were silent all the way, which saved Ji Wan a lot of thoughts.

Changqing also seemed to be a little uncomfortable, swept away the liveliness and activity in the past, and sat next to Ji Juan like a little daughter-in-law.

Yin Chi wanted to leave Zhao State for a few days, the second lady had the excuse to stay a few more days and not leave for the time being, the eldest lady was also going back this time, and there was Ji Yan's matter before, and finally the sixteenth master decided to let her live temporarily in the mansion of Prince Qi.

I heard that Qi Gongzi is Yin Chi's best friend, but after a few faces, Ji Juan's impression of him is that Gongzi Ruyu, he promised to let him stay in Qi Mansion until Yin Chi comes back, presumably as long as he doesn't cause trouble, this day will not be too difficult.

The carriage stopped in front of the three gates, the maids got out of the carriage in an orderly manner, and Changqing couldn't help but ask: "Girl, do you say that the sixteenth master's family is rich or the Qi Gongzi's family is rich?" ”

Ji Juan smiled and glanced at Changqing, "Keep up, think about what to do with these." ”

She only knows that the Yin family is not in the Zhao country, but the Qi family is the Zhao family, how can this be compared?

Qi Jia had already gotten out of the carriage, the maid and maid bowed down to smooth the wrinkles on his clothes, and Ji Wan stood aside obediently and waited.

Such an ordinary little girl, I don't know what Yin Chi thinks, I don't feel at ease in the Yin Mansion, and I have to entrust it to his mansion before leaving.

In the afterglow, Ji Juan suddenly discovered a strange phenomenon.

The maids around Qi Gongzi all have a wooden hairpin on their heads, including hibiscus flowers, hibiscus, and peonies, each with its own shape, and the wood used is also different.

It wasn't until she heard their names that Ji Juan suddenly realized.

It turned out that the flowers on their heads were their names, Hibiscus and Hibiscus were the two little girls who looked like they were sitting opposite her, and Peony was the one who stopped her earlier.

"Nine girls, still not keeping up?"

Nine girls? Ji Wan came back to his senses and smiled.

In the carriage, the eldest lady closed her eyes tiredly.

The personal mother gently rubbed her legs for her, "Madame's body has not been good these days, why don't you let the sixteenth master go back first, let's follow behind slowly." ”

Yin He raised his eyes and thought thoughtfully: "No need, this matter is not trivial, it is better to rush back as soon as possible." ”

After speaking, he turned his head, "Aunt He, what do you say about Jiu'er?" ”

Aunt He's heart trembled when she heard this, why did the eldest lady mention this, the eldest lady was very disgusted with Jiu'er before, but now she suddenly asked, how can she say it.

Why did he smile and said ambiguously: "The dim sum made by Jiu'er is very good." ”

Speaking of this, Yin He suddenly felt a little hungry, and said with a smile: "The dim sum in the box, Jiu'er said that there is a red date sour milk cake, take it out and take a look." ”

Seeing that she didn't ask anymore, Aunt He breathed a sigh of relief and went to get the box.

Compared with the ease in the carriage behind, Du Sheng, who was riding a horse and followed behind Yin Chi, made a draft in his heart with a bitter face.

"Master, it's been a morning, let's rest, our stomachs are beating gongs and drums!"

Yin Chi didn't look back, and his voice came from the tailwind: "Don't you have dry food in your baggage?" ”

Seeing that he slowed down, Du Sheng hurriedly chased after him, and said with a smile: "Master, didn't Jiu'er pretend to have a lot of snacks in your ......?"

Before he finished speaking, he felt choked, looked at his own grandfather's expression, consciously stopped the conversation, raised the dry cake in his hand, and squinted his eyes: "Hey, it's so fragrant!" ”

Zhao Guo Bianjing, the mansion of the Qi family.

The concubine of Yunyang Bofu, the fugitive concubine of the King of the South, and the little cook of the sixteenth master of the Yin family...... Qi Jia's expression became more and more complicated, looking at the news sent back by the spies, and then at the harmless beautiful girl in front of her, she was speechless for a while.

"Qi Gongzi, I don't know what I can do?"

waited for a long time, and finally Ji Juan spoke first.

She thought that Qi Gongzi would still arrange her in the kitchen, but she didn't want his thin lips to move slightly, and his voice was low: "The yard near the back garden is empty, you can live there for the time being." ”

What does this mean...... She doesn't have to do anything?

Looking at the small courtyard in front of him, as well as a large wasteland with the back garden, Changqing opened his mouth wide and couldn't speak for a long time.

Peony still looked iron-faced and selfless, and said with a glance: "This Tibetan Pavilion is the residence of the Nine Girls." ”

Hide...... Tender...... Pavilion!!

Ji Juan's expression gradually distorted, looking back at Changqing, so did Changqing.

"Peony girl, the name of this Tibetan Pavilion is really a bit chic!"

Changqing smiled and smiled, and Peony showed disdain, and raised her voice slightly: "This is what our old lady took it." ”

"Old lady?" Evergreen Ji Wan spoke in unison.

Peony patiently explained: "The old lady lives in the Qinghua Courtyard in front of the garden, and this courtyard is where the old lady and the young lady lived before. ”

Changqing's smile was unwavering on his face, and he said with a smile: "Your old lady is really ingenious. ”

Peony snorted coldly and didn't answer.

Ji Juan was overjoyed, turned around and looked around, and sure enough, he saw a small kitchen behind this Tibetan Pavilion, although it had not been used for a long time, but the cleaning project was not large.

She is now living in someone's house, and Ji Juan doesn't want to cause trouble to others, so she told Peony her thoughts euphemistically.

"You want to cook your own food?!"

Peony looked at Ji Xuan, who obviously looked like a young lady in front of her, and it was incomprehensible.

Seeing her looking at herself, Ji Juan lowered her head, she was wearing a goose-yellow narrow-sleeved dark pattern skirt today, with a pair of ordinary folded apricot white embroidered shoes at her feet, and a double-ring bun on her head, but it was not strange.

"Okay...... I'll go back and ask Childe. ”

Changqing was puzzled at first, and then laughed: "Girl! With such a big yard, can we make barbecue? ”

Ji Wan hurriedly made a silent action, "Be quiet, let people hear the joke!" ”

You must know that the ladies and ladies of the Bianjing family don't eat barbecue and other things, but they have to walk in a proper manner, which she only learned after she went to the Grange.

Qi Jia heard that the girl who lived in his house wanted to cook in the Zangjiao Pavilion by herself, so she agreed without thinking too much.

During the day, Changqing went to the big kitchen to get the ingredients, and Ji Juan ate in the Tibetan Pavilion by himself, living in the courtyard of Nuoda, and there were no picky people to spoil the fun, not to mention how happy it was these days.

Keep the charcoal that has been burned in the past few days, but after eight or nine days, there will be a full sack.

On this day, Changqing went to the kitchen to get a piece of fine pork belly and came back, Ji Wan rubbed the fat and thin meat, nodded with satisfaction, raised his hand and dropped the knife, but in a moment, the pork belly became an even thin slice.

The spices were marinated and set aside, and the leftover vegetables of the past few days came out.

After an afternoon of fighting, the master and servant cut out a handful of bamboo skewers and skewered the meat and vegetables, but the sky was already dark.

Looking at the polished three-legged carved hollow copper furnace, the master and servant looked at each other and smiled.

This...... It's kind of making the best use of everything!

The charcoal fire was lit, and Changqing jumped to carry a lantern, and put a log in the ground, and hung the lantern on a wooden stick.

Suddenly, the pork belly began to be heated and bubbled out of oil, marinated for an afternoon, the meat has already tasted, and the aroma is already compelling when it is half-cooked.

Just as Changqing was gearing up to start, a cough suddenly sounded outside the courtyard!
