"Brother Ziqi doesn't know, over the years, He Ning has been looking forward to seeing Brother Ziqi again one day, the days are counted, and he naturally remembers it clearly." The tips of Jian He's sideburns also kept dancing with the amplitude of her speech, and the whole person looked very cute, "After standing outside the Shangshu Mansion for so long, doesn't Brother Ziqi plan to let He Ning enter the mansion?" ”

Jian Hening's whole person seemed well-behaved and sensible, when she said that, Ji Ziqi couldn't help but blush a little, she had forgotten Jian Hening all these years, but she didn't expect her to keep thinking about herself.

"Come on in." Ji Ziqi turned sideways and raised his hand to let them in, then turned his head and ordered, "Ah Tong, let someone help Miss Jian carry the luggage in." ”

Jian Hening looked at Ji Ziqi with a smile, and then said: "Brother Ziqi really has the appearance of Lord Shangshu, He Ning is really happy for Brother Ziqi." ”

Ji Ziqi smiled, and while leading her inside, he said, "It's just a matter of being famous, He Ning shouldn't make fun of me with this anymore." ”

"What's the matter, here in He Ning, Brother Ziqi is the most powerful." Jian Hening followed behind Ji Ziqi and said with a smile.

Ji Ziqi smiled awkwardly, no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't imagine that the person who came would be Jian Hening, and asked: "The letter at home said that you came to the capital to study, right?" When you were five years old, you had to read and memorize poems by yourself, but you didn't think that after many years, you were still so tireless, Jane's was a talented girl, and I thought that my uncle and aunt should be gratified. ”

Jian Hening raised her hand to cover her mouth and smiled, and said: "Brother Ziqi, don't make fun of He Ning, He Ning is only a shallow learner, and has only read some of the Four Books and Five Classics. ”

Ji Ziqi smiled, led her to the front hall, instructed her subordinates to serve tea and snacks, and then sat down and said, "So, Sister He Ning is here to go to the capital for something else?" ”

Jian He paused and said with a smile: "I can't hide anything from Brother Ziqi." ”

Ji Ziqi looked at her, moved the snacks sent by his subordinates to her side, and asked, "Didn't you hide from your uncle and aunt and come here in the name of a study tour?" ”

Ji Ziqi wanted to ask her if she was here to find her sweetheart, but she couldn't ask, which would still seem very abrupt to Jian Hening, who had only been in touch with each other.

Thinking of only one side, Ji Ziqi couldn't help but think of Concubine Shen again, no, it was Shen Shu.

Ji Ziqi recalled that at that time, under the osmanthus tree, Shen Shu raised her head and asked herself to call her maiden name, which was extremely distressing.

From the distant Danqi to Shangjing, he was kept in captivity in a golden cage and lost his freedom forever.

At the beginning, Danqi's desolation was so desolate that the great desert that could not be seen could not allow Shen Shu to fly freely, and the small Shangjing Palace was also difficult for her.

Why did you think of her again?

Ji Ziqi shook his head secretly, and then looked at Jian Hening.

The smile on Jian Hening's face never stopped, she looked at Ji Ziqi, and when she asked this, she shook her head and said, "He Ning is very well-behaved, so she won't do this." This is what Uncle Ji meant......"

When Ji Ziqi heard this, he felt that something was not right, and he frowned and asked, "What's going on at home?" ”

Jian Hening looked at Ji Ziqi, who was frowning, and said with some hesitation: "Uncle Ji...... said that Brother Ziqi's age was time to get married...... He Ning ......"

Jian Hening's face turned red when she said this, she turned to the maid behind her, Ah Xiu, and said, "Ah Xiu, take the letter written by Uncle Ji in my box and show it to Brother Ziqi." ”

Ah Xiu bowed her head and curtsied: "Yes, Miss." ”

After saying that, he turned around and went to get the letter that he wanted to show to Ziqi's brother.

When Ah Xiu went to get the letter, Ji Ziqi kept looking at the door without speaking, his hand was on the corner of the table, holding it tightly.

Jian Hening looked at him cautiously, there was a trace of hesitation and worry in his eyes, the handkerchief in his hand had already been tightly twisted by his fingers, and the white teeth like a shell bit his lip slightly, it was difficult for a man not to be moved when he looked at Jian Hening.

But Ji Ziqi just wanted to see the letter, and wanted to know what decision his uncle and uncle had made for him, so he forced Jian Hening over, and lied to himself that it was a study tour? If you knew so, you shouldn't have promised it.

Jian Hening bit her lip and looked at Ji Ziqi, she was a little apprehensive in her heart, she naturally knew about this matter, and wanted to come to Ji's uncle and uncle because she was worried that Ji Ziqi was reluctant, so she said that the children of old friends in the family came to study and asked Ji Ziqi to help receive it.

There was nothing wrong with it, but after Jian Hening said this, it made Ji Ziqi a little scared, he was worried that something would happen that he didn't want to see.

Ji Ziqi looked out the door anxiously, thinking about when Ah Xiu would be able to bring the letter to him, and when he thought of his uncle and uncle at home deceiving him, his heart was a little depressed.

The salutes were all taken by Ah Tong to the garden prepared for Jian Hening and them, and it would take some time to come to Ah Xiu to find them, Ji Ziqi had no intention of anything else at this time, just watched when Ah Xiu would come back outside the door.

Jian Hening looked at Ji Ziqi, with some apprehension in his heart, and he didn't know how to tell him, thinking that he hadn't seen him in the past thirteen years, and the former brother Ziqi had changed.

Thinking of this, Jian Hening couldn't help but feel a little lonely, but when she thought of the elders in the family, she agreed...... I don't want to think too much.

"Brother Ziqi." Jian Hening called him with a smile, "I'm afraid it will take some time for Ah Xiu to come and go, let's chat, maybe time can pass faster." ”

Ji Ziqi came back to his senses, looked at Jian Hening, and thought that he seemed to be rude, so he nodded and apologized: "It's okay, it's my rudeness, Miss Jian has come all the way, and I'll take you to Ruyi Lou in the capital to eat after a while, the mandarin fish there is a famous food, I heard that the chef is from Jiangnan, and he makes an authentic Jiangnan famous spot, which we can't eat in the northwest." ”

Jian Hening's smile froze on her face, Ji Ziqi didn't look at her directly, and after saying a word, she drifted her eyes away from other places, from the beginning of "Sister Hening" to today's "Miss Jane", Jian Hening could feel the indifference of Ji Ziqi's words and behavior.

Is this because of your own literacy or something else? Jian Hening doesn't have to think much to know, Ji Ziqi is a smart person, even if he doesn't see that letter from home, he will know that his uncle and uncle let Jian Hening come all the way to Shangjing for a girl's family, and he also said in the previous letter that he was here to study.

At the beginning, Ji Ziqi didn't think too much, he just thought that he was a child of an unfamiliar old friend, and it was useless to say his name, but when his uncle said such a thing, he knew from the beginning that Ji Ziqi would not agree, so he lied to him in the name of studying abroad.

But Jian Hening seemed to be a little anxious, as soon as she thought that the other party was Brother Ziqi who she had been thinking about for thirteen years, she couldn't hold back the joy in her heart, and wanted to tell Brother Ziqi about this joy, thinking that he would also be happy, but who knows, the result is still the same as what Ji's uncle and uncle said.

No, as soon as he finished speaking, Ji Ziqi was busy drawing a relationship with himself, and the words were not as intimate as Fang Cai.

Jian Hening thought about it for a while, and then said with a smile: "The famous food that can make Brother Ziqi praise endlessly, He Ning must taste it." ”

Ji Ziqi nodded with a polite smile, then lowered his head and took a sip of tea, his fingers kept knocking on the table, thinking about how Ah Xiu couldn't pay it back, although he knew it, but he still wanted to see what was written on the letter.

Jian Hening paused, and then asked with a smile: "Brother Ziqi, do you still remember that when He Ning went to the Ji family mansion as a guest thirteen years ago, in the plum garden in the mansion, what was the poem that He Ning pestered Brother Ziqi's brother?" ”

The memory of that little half a month has been playing in a loop in Jian Hening's mind for thirteen years, and in these thirteen years, she has dreamed more than once of the scene in the Plum Garden, thinking that one day she can return to that day.

When her father told her that Uncle Ji intended to give her promise to Ji Ziqi, Jian Hening's whole person was a little fluttering, she didn't know whether this was true or false, until she returned to Ji's mansion, Ji's uncles and uncles personally told Jian Hening that they had intended to match the two of them together when they were young, but they were too young to say anything to them.

When Jian Hening knew about this, she didn't sleep well for three days and three nights, she only felt that God favored her too much, and she was able to marry herself to Brother Ziqi, who she longed for......

When she decided to come to Beijing alone to find Ji Ziqi, her father and mother were very worried, but Ji's uncle and uncle were very anxious about Ji Ziqi's marriage, so they hurriedly wrote a letter to inform Ji Ziqi, but they did not explain to him in the letter.

Ji Ziqi listened to Jian Hening's words, and thought about it seriously, his memory is very good, he was seven years old thirteen years ago, and he still remembers it clearly, but he knows very clearly at this time that Jian Hening wants to be close, so he subconsciously shook his head and said: "I can't remember the things thirteen years ago, I can't remember it clearly, did I teach it?" I vaguely remember that Ziming was still present at the time, maybe it was taught by Ziming. ”

Ji Ziming is the son of his uncle, who is the same age as Ji Ziqi, and is also one of the children in the family who has the best relationship with Ji Ziqi.

Jian Hening smiled and said: "I don't think Brother Ziqi remembers, but He Ning remembers clearly, at that time, Brother Ziqi was still holding He Ning's hand, and taught He Ning to write that poem by hand, but He Ning was stupid, and his hand couldn't hold the pen at that time, and splashed ink on Brother Ziqi's clothes." ”

Jian Hening worked hard to remind Ji Ziqi of some things back then, she didn't believe that Ji Ziqi didn't remember, she hadn't seen her for thirteen years, and he could call his name at the first sight when he saw him, which made Jian Hening really not believe that Ji Ziqi had forgotten the things that had been in place back then.

Ji Ziqi looked at her and smiled politely: "Miss Jian has a good memory, you still remember such a long time, it's really troublesome." ”

"No, it's not that He Ning has a good memory, it's about Brother Ziqi, He Ning doesn't dare to forget." Jian Hening hurriedly said.

She doesn't want to look very powerful in front of Ji Ziqi, she would rather be stupid, and she also wants to show her admiration in front of Ji Ziqi, she hasn't seen her for thirteen years, this feeling is unattainable for ordinary people, Jian Hening has been missing Ji Ziqi for half of her life, but the sweetheart in front of her is unknown.

The literati are not good at these, and the words are not so obvious, in Ji Ziqi's heart, the vague love, the ambiguous tenderness, is the taste of love.

Ji Ziqi didn't speak, after glancing at Jian Hening, he lowered his head, looking at the tea in his hand, unfortunately the tea in the bowl was all drunk by himself......

"That poem He Ning still remembers now." Jian Hening looked at Ji Ziqi and didn't speak, so he hurriedly said, "It's the poet Wang Wei's "Red Beans", red beans are born in the southern country, and a few branches are sent in spring. May you pick more, this thing is the most lovely. After returning home, He Ning also memorized poems about red beans, Wen Tingjun's "Willow Branches" was lit at the bottom of the well and the deep candle Yi, and the Gonglang Long Line Mo Go. Exquisite dice and red beans, lovesick to the bone, I don't know ......"

Jian Hening watched Ji Ziqi say these two poems, the smile in her eyes turned into a little tenderness, she looked at Ji Ziqi and asked, "Brother Ziqi, don't you still understand He Ning's intentions?" ”

Jian Hening was menacing, and he showed his thirteen years of affection and discernment in a row, for fear that Ji Ziqi would not feel it.

But at this time, Ji Ziqi was restless, he didn't dare to respond in the face of Jian Hening's offensive, for fear of disappointing his sweetheart......

At this time, Ah Xiu walked in, holding the letter in his hand, which was the letter from Ji's uncle and uncle to Ji Ziqi.

Jian Hening stood up, took the letter from Ah Xiu's hand, and said: "Brother Ziqi, Ji's uncle and uncle all intended to marry He Ning and his brother as his wife when we were children, and He Ning also liked Brother Ziqi, this is the token that Uncle Uncle gave to his brother, He Ning came this time for Brother Ziqi, if you don't believe it, you can take it apart and take a look." ”

Jian Hening couldn't wait for Ji Ziqi to know what the relationship between them would be in the future, and all the horrors along the way poured out at this moment.

Ji Ziqi doesn't need to read it to know what the letter says, his parents died when he was a child, and it was Ji's uncle and uncle who raised him, and Ji Ziqi listened to them for everything, they let themselves come to the capital, and they came, and they were used to arranging everything for Ji Ziqi, but Ji Ziqi couldn't agree to this matter.

Ji Ziqi took the letter, then put it on the table, pressed it with his hand, and didn't want to open it, he looked at Jian Hening and said: "He Ning, I didn't know about this matter before, and my uncle and uncle never told me, how can marriage be a child's play?" You must not waste your life for the sake of childhood jokes. ”

"He Ning didn't!" Jian Hening said anxiously, "He Ning is very serious!" He Ning likes Brother Ziqi, and she has liked it since thirteen years ago! ”
