Chapter 469: Encountering Feng Dai by chance
The news of Ji Yanning's return to Chang'an didn't make any waves, but it was just a cousin of the Liu family, and everyone didn't pay much attention to it.
Liu Qingyun of the third room of the Liu family has been out of the cabinet for two months, and now there is a girl's family left in the house, Liu Yunting is left, she didn't like Ji Yanning very much, but seeing that she came back this time and brought a gift to herself, she went to Ji Yanning's yard out of etiquette, chatted with her for a few words, and left.
Ji Yanning rested for two days, but received a post from the Shen family.
"No. Ji Yanning handed the post to Ziyu and said.
This post was written by Shen Qingyi's sister Shen Yanlan, saying that she had a small party and only invited a few friends from her boudoir, so she remembered Ji Yanning and asked her to come with her by the way.
Since Shen Qingyi won the champion and served in Chang'an, he also took his mother and sister to live in Chang'an together.
Ji Yanning didn't want to be involved with the Shen family, so he naturally rejected the post.
She didn't have to think about it, what was this Shen Yanlan fighting, the rift between the mother and daughter of the Shen family in Cangzhou was not so easy to resolve.
Seeing that the eldest lady rejected the Shen family's post without thinking about it, Ziyu said with some embarrassment: "Miss, this is specially sent by my uncle's wife, saying that it is better for Miss to deal with the people of the Shen family, after all, Miss and Shen Gongzi still have a marriage contract." β
Before Ji Yanning could speak, Pearl on the side said: "This family lady hasn't nodded yet, not to mention that His Royal Highness King Xuan is here, why should the young lady bother with the Shen family." β
Pearl can see clearly along the way, the prince is really interested in the young lady.
Ziyu nodded, and after thinking about it, it was much better for the young lady to be a princess than to marry the Shen family.
"Well, I'll go talk to my aunt myself. Ji Yanning said and turned his head to look at the pearl again, and said, "Let Ji Jiu prepare the carriage, I will go out later." β
The pearl bowed his head, and then went down to prepare.
Ji Yanning got up and took Ziyu in the direction of An's courtyard.
The subordinates in An's courtyard saw Ji Yanning coming, but they quickly walked into the house to report to their master.
"Yan Ning, why did you come here now?" An Shi was a little surprised.
Ji Yanning stepped forward and said, "I wanted to talk to my aunt, so I came over." β
Ahn waved her hand and asked her to be by her side.
Ji Yanning was as kind as a stream, walked forward slowly, and said, "Uncle, I heard that when I was away, my grandfather set me a family business. β
Hearing Ji Yanning mention the family matter, An Shi was slightly stunned, and then returned to his senses and said, "Yes." You've just come back, and I haven't had time to talk to you about it. β
Ji Yanning said: "Uncle, I don't want this family business. β
"Why?" When An heard Ji Yanning's words, although he was prepared in his heart, he was still a little puzzled, "That son of the Shen family is a good one, last year's champion Lang, and he was born in the Shi clan, and Shen Shangshu's nephew, this family business is the best." β
Ji Yanning said: "Yan Ning knows that my aunt is thinking about me, but what seems good to others may not be suitable for me, I also had a marriage contract with Shen Qingyi, but the Shen family withdrew after the death of my parents, and since I have already retired, there is no reason to continue." β
An Shi said: "Shen Gongzi has explained this matter, it is just a misunderstanding. β
"I know best if it's a misunderstanding. Ji Yanning said, "What's more, I don't want to marry into the Shen family." β
Seeing that Ji Yanning had made up her mind, An Shi was a little disappointed in her heart, she patted Ji Yanning's hand lightly, and said, "If you don't like this family business, it doesn't matter, just retreat." It's just that you're not young now, and now you're sixteen, and it's time to settle down your family, do you have someone you like?"
Ji Yanning's face was slightly red, but he still nodded honestly.
An Shi was a little surprised, and asked curiously, "Which family's son?"
Ji Yanning said: "King Xuan Rongche." β
"King Xuan?!" An Shi was a little surprised, pondered for a while, and said, "But King Xuan's status is noble, not to mention your current identity, even if you are the daughter of the Liu family, you may not be able to marry King Xuan." This palace is not so easy to enter, and even if you enter the palace, at most she is a concubine, and if you marry Shen Gongzi, she is a wife. β
An felt that Ji Yanning was a little whimsical.
Ji Yanning looked at An's surprised look and said with a smile: "I won't be a concubine, if King Xuan doesn't marry with the gift of a wife, then he won't marry." β
It was he who said that he would come to propose marriage in person, if it was just a concubine, she might as well not marry.
An Shi listened to Ji Yanning's words, and only felt that she was naΓ―ve.
"King Xuan is the last son of the first emperor, and his status is noble, but I'm afraid it's not so easy. An felt that Ji Yanning wanted to be stable on weekdays, not like a person who would say such things, but today made her feel a little surprised.
Ji Yanning said with a straight face: "Uncle, I'm not joking. β
An Shi was slightly stunned, looking at Ji Yanning's serious appearance, she could see that Ji Yanning was indeed not joking.
Ji Yanning said: "I came here today to tell my aunt that I will not agree to the Shen family's family business, and I also ask my aunt to tell my uncle and let him quit this family business for Yan Ning one day." β
Before An could say anything, Ji Yanning had already bowed and said, "Yan Ning has other things, so I won't bother my aunt, and I'll come over to say hello to my aunt when I have time." β
An Shi watched her salute in an orderly manner, just sighed lightly, and then said, "That's it, you go down." β
Ji Yanning bowed, turned around and left An's courtyard.
An Shi rubbed his forehead with his hand, a little helpless.
"Madam, why should you worry, the old slave thinks that Miss Biao seems to be very confident, and what she said should not be false. The grandmother beside An's side said.
An Shi said: "Where is the royal family so enterprising? Yan Ning has always been measured in his work, but he is still just a child. β
The grandmother said: "Miss Cousin is different from other boudoir girls, Madame doesn't need to worry so much, not to mention that Miss Cousin has a good appearance, a family background, and a good temperament, are you afraid that she won't be able to marry? β
An said: "I just want to find the best home for her." β
Mama smiled and said, "Don't worry, madam, old slave, Miss Biao is a blessed person." β
"I hope so. Ahn said.
She has two sons, and she has been thinking about how to have a daughter, she really regards Ji Yanning as her daughter, but she didn't expect this daughter to be different from other girls, and she doesn't need help from others at all.
After Ji Yanning came out of An's place, Pearl had already prepared the carriage.
She walked out the back door and got into the carriage to go to the Ji Mansion.
I haven't responded to Wenxu for a few days, I don't know how he is doing, but he is okay with his life in the Criminal Department?
The carriage stopped in front of Ji's house, she stepped on a low stool and walked down, and was about to walk into the house, but she heard someone stop her behind her.
"Miss Ji?" there was a slight hesitation in the woman's voice.
Ji Yanning turned her head and looked in the direction where the voice came from, and found that the person who called her was Feng Dai.
When Feng Dai saw Ji Yanning, her face was full of joy, and she walked forward with her maid: "Miss Ji, it's really you! β
Ji Yanning bowed slightly: "Long time no see." β
"You're here to find Ah Xu, right? He should still be in the Criminal Department at this time, and he has always come back late. Feng Dai said to Ji Yanning.
Ji Yanning listened to Feng Dai's words, raised her eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile: "It seems that Miss Feng knows Ah Xu's daily life very well. β
She knew that Ying Wenxu and Feng Dai had an intersection, when she and Ying Wenxu were hiding from the pursuit of the Zhongdebo Mansion, it was Feng Dai who helped him hide, and at that time, Ying Wenxu also helped him drive away the disciples who were pestering him.
Later, Ying Wenxu entered the Criminal Department, thanks to Feng Dai's father who threaded the needle in it.
But now it seems that during the time that Ji Yanning was not in Chang'an, Feng Dai and Ying Wenxu seemed to get along well.
Hearing Ji Yanning's words, Feng Dai laughed a little embarrassedly, but said: "Miss Ji and Ah Xu have both helped me and my father, so I sincerely treat you as friends. β
Ji Yanning nodded: "Miss Feng has a heart." β
"I happened to grow some vegetables at home, and because there were too many, I sent some to Axu. Feng Dai said and lifted the basket of vegetables in his hand.
Ji Yanning bowed his head and said, "Then let's come in together." β
She said and walked into the Ji Mansion with someone.
There are not many people in this Ji house, except for the little maid Ah Ren and the nurse who have been taking care of Ying Wenxu before, Ji Yanning also left two small maids and a cook in this courtyard.
After all, Ying Wenxu's identity is too special, and she doesn't want him to be too ostentatious.
"Miss. Seeing Ji Yanning coming, the little ones all stepped forward to salute.
Ji Yanning said: "No need to be polite, I just came to see Ah Xu." β
Ah Ren said: "I'll go to the Criminal Department to find the young master, if the young master knows that the eldest lady is coming, he will definitely be very happy." β
Ji Yanning nodded.
Ren went out happily.
Ying Wenxu became Ji Wenxu under the pseudonym, and on the bright side, he was Ji Yanning's distant cousin.
Feng Dai also handed over the vegetable basket in her hand to the cook, and then sat in the courtyard and talked.
"Miss Ji hasn't been in Chang'an for a few days, I thought you were back in Jiangzhou. Feng Dai said.
Ji Yanning said: "It's just some things in business, and it's common to go south and north." β
Feng Dai said enviously: "I really envy that you can go everywhere to other places, I have never left Chang'an." β
For as long as she can remember, she has been dependent on her father, who is just a small official in the criminal department, and takes care of the utensils on weekdays, so naturally she has little time to go to other places, and she is her father's only daughter, and her father naturally refuses to let her go out alone.
