The weather is starting to get a little hot in May, especially since it's noon, and the sun is even hotter.

Ji Lang had heard the news that Ji Yanning was coming back early on, and when the guards returned to Liufu from the time they were in advance, they had already begun to wait at the gate of Chang'an City.

After waiting for more than an hour, he saw a team of people coming slowly, and the Yuanzi flag on the carriage made his eyes shine.

That's the team of the Yuan Mansion, and my sister should be with Yuan Jiaojiao.

"Little boy, the sun is so fierce, let's find a place to rest first. The official guarding the city gate saw that Ji Lang was not very old, and he was wearing the clothes of the Egret Academy, thinking that he was a pampered young man, so he kindly asked him to go to a cool place to rest his feet first.

Ji Lang shook his head and said, "Thank you uncle for your kindness, but I have already seen my sister's carriage!"

Hearing that this little boy was here to pick up his sister, several officials sighed even more, it was really a deep sister-brother relationship.

The carriage soon arrived at the city gate, and Ji Lang saw Yuan Wu riding a horse to protect the carriage, he waved his hand and shouted, "Uncle Yuan!"

Yuan Jiaojiao heard Ji Lang's voice, lifted the curtain of the carriage, and looked at it to see that it was really Ji Lang, she turned back to Ji Yanning and said, "Ji Lang actually climbed to the city gate to pick us up." ”

Yuan Wu quickly stopped the carriage.

Ji Yanning stepped down from the carriage, and Pearl saw that the day was a little big, so she held an umbrella for her.

Seeing Ji Yanning, Ji Lang rushed forward quickly, and the joy on his face couldn't be concealed before, so he stepped forward and hugged her.

"Sister, you're finally back!Lang'er misses you so much!" Ji Lang looked up at Ji Yanning, for fear that the sister in front of him would leave again.

Ji Yanning touched Ji Lang's head, I haven't seen her for a few days, Ji Lang has grown a lot taller, she said: "This sun is so hot, why did you run out, it's the same while waiting in the house." ”

When Ji Lang heard Ji Yanning say this, he sneered a little embarrassedly: "Because I still have to go to the academy today, but I want to come over and wait for my sister to come back, so I plan to see my sister at the gate of the city and go to the academy again." ”

Ji Yanning couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "So you didn't go to the academy in the morning?"

Ji Lang nodded honestly and said, "It doesn't matter if it's in the past now, I have already read the lesson that Mr. is going to teach today." ”

"Next time, don't skip class. Ji Yanning handed the umbrella in his hand to Ji Lang and said, "Hurry up and go to the academy, I brought you a gift, and you can see it when you come back in the evening." ”

Ji Lang nodded, didn't ask for Ji Yanning's umbrella, but took the horse, turned over, and quickly walked in the direction of Egret Academy.

Ji Yanning chuckled, then walked into the carriage and led the team to Liufu.

Not long after entering the city gate, Yuan Jiaojiao and Ji Yanning parted ways, Yuan Jiaojiao wanted to go back to Yuanfu, and then they went on different paths.

When Liu Changyuan heard the news of Ji Yanning's return, and when he walked out of the mansion, Ji Yanning happened to get out of the carriage.

"Cousin, you're finally back!

Ji Yanning saluted slightly: "Third cousin." ”

Liu Changyuan said: "Cousin, don't be polite, my father and mother are already waiting." ”

Ji Yanning bowed, and then followed Liu Changyuan into the Liu Mansion.

She followed Liu Changyuan to the main courtyard of the big house first and asked Liu Mu and An Shi to say goodbye.

Seeing Ji Yanning stepping into the lobby, he stepped forward and saluted Liu Mu and An in a proper manner: "Uncle, aunt, Yan Ning is back." ”

An Shi hurriedly stepped forward to help Ji Yanning up, his eyes were a little red, he hadn't seen him for nearly a year, and Ji Yanning looked more stable than before.

It's just that when she thought that it would take a long time for her to send back a letter when she happened along the way, she couldn't help but say: "I don't know if I came back with a word, it's really worrying to be outside for so long, and I sneaked the guards back, what if I encounter danger again!"

Ji Yanning said: "I know that my aunt is worried about me, didn't I come back well?"

An said: "I know we are worried that you are still running around!"

Ji Yanning's heart was warm, she knew that An was really worried about her.

"Not next time," she said. ”

"You dare to have a next time!" said Ahns, "you are not young now, and it is time to think about yourself." ”

Ji Yanning nodded and said, "Don't worry, aunt, Yan Ning knows it." ”

Liu Mu said: "Yan Ning has just come back, and he is tired of traveling, so he should go back and rest first, and talk about other things later, so there is no need to rush for a while." ”

An Shi just wanted to say something, but when he heard Liu Mu's words, he nodded and said, "Yes, you just came back, go back and rest first." ”

Ji Yanning bowed slightly, exited the lobby, and went back to his courtyard.

Looking at Ji Yanning's back as he left, An Shi sighed and said, "I see that Yan Ning is getting more and more ideas now, not everyone can make decisions for her, and I don't know if the Shen family's family affairs can be done." ”

Before, Shen Qingyi and Shen Shangshu came to ask for marriage, and Liu Yuan agreed.

Although An also felt that Shen Qingyi was a rare talent, he didn't know what Ji Yanning thought in his heart.

Liu Mu could see it: "When the Shen family came to ask for marriage, they said that if Yan Ning is not satisfied, this family business will be invalidated, and what they say will naturally be responsible for them, if Yan Ning doesn't like it, they will retreat." ”

An Shi said: "But looking at this Chang'an City, there are not many good sons who can be compared with Shen Qingyi, if you are based on this family, you probably won't be able to find such a good family." ”

Ji Yanning was born in a business, although it is said that there is a Liu family, but she is just a cousin of the Liu family, even if Liu Mu and himself love Ji Yanning no matter how much they love it, others can't look down on it, those high-ranking children take a fancy to Ji Yanning, either they want Ji Yanning to be a concubine, or they want to ask for a concubine in the house, for the money that Baochang remembers.

After all the calculations, it is really Shen Qingyi who is the best.

Liu Mu said: "As long as Yan Ning is happy, the family or anything is not so important." ”

Listening to her husband's words, An Shi was a little unhappy: "How can you say that it doesn't matter, if you marry someone with a low family, it will be bad after all, and let her be wronged in vain." ”

"With us here, we can still let others bully Yan Ning. Liu Mu looked at the worried An clan and said, "Why don't you go and find out Yan Ning's tone tomorrow, if she is willing to marry the Shen family, then what do you have to worry about?"

An nodded and said, "I'm not worried that Yan Ning will think that we are in charge of our own affairs, so we will be unhappy." ”

"Yan Ning is not that kind of person. Liu Mu still knows a little about his niece, he said, "She does things according to likes and dislikes, if she doesn't like the Shen family, she naturally won't complain about it." ”

An bowed her head and was relieved by her husband, but calmed down.

To be honest, she really wanted Ji Yanning to agree to this family business, the Shen family is good, and Shen Qingyi is the former champion with a bright future, and he personally came to the door to propose marriage, which shows his sincerity.

It is rare to find a few such men in Chang'an City.

But with such good conditions, An still vaguely felt that Ji Yanning would refuse.

I haven't seen her for nearly a year, Ji Yanning's appearance is becoming more and more bright, and at the same time, her temperament seems to be becoming more and more calm, and she can't see joy and anger in her eyes at all.

Ji Yanning returned to his courtyard, Ziyu happily greeted her, and finally saw her eldest lady's company, and her tears had already fallen.

"Miss. Ziyu's voice was a little choked, "The slave is finally looking forward to your return." ”

Ji Yanning stepped forward, wiped her tears, and said, "Are you happy to see me? Why are you still crying, in Liufu for so long, has anyone bullied you?"

Ziyu shook her head and said, "The slave maid is just too happy, no one dares to bully the slave maid." ”

Pearl smiled behind Ji Yanning and said, "Okay, if you cry again, the eldest lady and I will have to stand in the courtyard all the time." ”

Ziyu came back to her senses and said, "The slave knows that the eldest lady is coming back soon, so she has already cleaned up the yard properly, and the young lady will go back to the room to rest first." ”

Ji Yanning nodded and said, "Prepare water for me to take a bath first, I'm a little tired on the way." ”

Ziyu nodded hurriedly and said, "The slave knows, so I'll go and prepare it for the young lady." ”

After she finished speaking, she happily went in the direction of the side room.

Pearl couldn't help but laugh when she saw Ziyu's appearance of wind under her feet, and said to Ji Yanning: "It seems that Ziyu is really happy." ”

Ziyu has been following Ji Yanning since she was a child, and after so many years of friendship between master and servant, she is naturally worried about her.

Ji Yanning took a bath, her body was finally a lot more comfortable, the weather was a little hot, she changed into a goose yellow dress made of silk yarn, combed a simple bun, and looked down and generous, as if she came out of a painting.

"Miss is really getting better and better. Ziyu looked at Ji Yanning's face and said, "There are so many noble girls in Chang'an City, but the young lady is the best-looking." ”

Ji Yanning listened to her words, only regarded them as compliments, and said: "Just say this in our yard, don't say such things outside." ”

She knows that there is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the world, and it doesn't matter how this looks, but she doesn't want to be a "most" word.

Especially the noble girl in Chang'an is bored on weekdays, and likes to chat about some gossip and daily life, if you know that someone claims to be the best-looking person in Chang'an, I am afraid that it will cause a lot of unhappiness.

Ziyu said: "The slave and maid are naturally provincial, but they just told the truth. ”

Ji Yanning said: "I'm a little sleepy, you and Pearl go and sort out the things I brought back, and divide them to others, I have already divided the things in the Liu family's big room separately, and the rest of you want to go and get them to the second and third rooms, and give some gifts to each of them." Everyone in our yard has a share. ”

Ziyu nodded and said, "The slave knows." ”
