Through the heavy smoke waves and green willow color, Hong Yan saw Ji Erlan standing with an umbrella on the shore of Gushui in a plain body, looking at the golden palace and jade que on the lake island. What is she thinking, is she thinking about crossing the prince? Hong Yan frowned, and as soon as the finger holding the curtain loosened, the pattern on the curtain blocked the view. He got out of the carriage steadily, and walked slowly towards the place where the beautiful woman was standing.
"Miss Ji, I haven't seen you for many days."
The slanting wind lifted his hair, Ji Erlan slowly turned his head, and chuckled: "It turned out to be Gongzi Hong, you are polite." β
As soon as he said hello, Ji Erlan turned around and continued to look at the thick clouds in the sky, without any intention of talking to the other party, as if he didn't know that Hong Yan was bothering to marry him at this time.
Hong Yan didn't look annoyed, and said good-naturedly: "It seems that Miss Ji doesn't think that she is a person who can be acquainted. β
Ji Erlan was puzzled, there was a little annoyance between his eyebrows and eyes, as if he was a little unhappy that he disturbed his view, and said: "Where is the son, I am usually good at the inside, I don't know you well, and I have never intersected, but where to talk about intersecting or not?" β
Hong Yan looked ashamed and said: "Miss Ji is different from ordinary women, everyone in the capital knows it. I have heard about it and admire it very much. The matter of asking for marriage is really abrupt, and it is understandable for Miss Ji to blame Hong in her heart. But Hong only begged the girl for her favor, and hoped that the girl would forgive. β
Ji Erlan looked back. In the light willow green, Hong Yan stood as light as a mist and clouds, his face was clear to the extreme, and there seemed to be a thousand anxious eyes between his eyes, like sparkling water. If he said this to any woman, I am afraid that the other party will be drawn into this whirlpool, and suffocated on the spot because of the depth of his affection. But in Ji Erlan's heart, there was only endless ridicule. She gently lifted the corners of her lips and said, "Childe's words are serious......"
Hong Yan saw that her face was not gloomy, but she didn't wait for her to say that she was not to blame, and her heart was even more confused. "Miss Ji means ......"
Ji Erlan glanced at Tang Nian, who was waiting not far away, and Tang Nian immediately stepped forward to take the paper umbrella in her hand. Said softly, "Is the girl going back?" β
Ji Erlan glanced at her, turned her face to Hong Yan and said, "Since you know that I am different from ordinary women, I will also tell you directly." In this life and this life, I only want to have a couple for the rest of my life, and if I can't achieve what I want, I'd rather lack ...... Don't overdo it. She smiled and said, "Young Master Hong, you can do it?" β
Hong Yan's eyes were full of surprise, he didn't expect Ji Erlan to be so outspoken. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Tang Niansheng's expression of being hurt, and his heart also surged.
Ji Erlan knew it, but he didn't break it, and then said: "If you insist, I won't obstruct it, but you should know my methods, if one day, you betray me, or if the woman next to you has ulterior motives, I will make her die a miserable death, and I will never hesitate to destroy your jade tree." She walked a few steps lightly, walked in a little away from Hong Yan, folded her hands slightly, and said: "You and I have no feelings, so I hope you don't blame me for ignoring your face, so I will take my own way, so I will leave first." β
Ji Erlan left after speaking, without giving Hong Yan extra time to think about it. Hong Yan said: "Miss Ji, let's stay first." β
Ji Erlan stood still, turned around, and asked, "Childe still has something?"
"Miss Ji said this, do you not want to marry me as a wife?"
Ji Erlan ignored Hong Yan's Gu left and right and said to him, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that the dignified Yuanlang couldn't understand what I said." β
Hong Yan is worthy of being a ghost fox, not only did he not get angry when he heard this, but he smiled. Ji Erlan knew that this was a manifestation of Hong Yan's aroused interest and fighting spirit. She looked at Hong Yan silently, and Hong Yan said, "That is the case, Hong makes an oath here." If Miss Deji is his wife, he will guard you for the rest of your life. Otherwise......"
"Otherwise...... Everything you care about and people will lose ......" Ji Erlan said mercilessly, continuing Hong Yan's oath.
The hand in Hong Yan's sleeve trembled, then returned to normal, lowered his eyes and smiled, repeated what Ji Erlan said, and said, "In this way, is Miss Ji willing to marry Hong?" β
Ji Erlan turned her back, and her eyes fell on Tang Nian's face as if she were nothing, only to see her lips trembling slightly, pale as paper, like a ruined withered flower, abrupt and desolate. She asked out loud, "Tang Nian, are you feeling unwell?" β
Tang Nian's soft body trembled and knelt in front of Ji Erlan, and said in a soft tone: "The slave maid had a little cold last night, and she just blew the wind, which will be a little unbearable. It was the slave's fault for disturbing the girl's interest. β
Ji Erlan lowered her eyelids and looked at her, and said, "I'm tired too, since that's the case, let's go back now." β
Dui Chun said on the side: "The things that the girl just ordered in Yongjiafang will be used for the banquet in the palace tomorrow night, so it is better to take them back as soon as possible, and if there is any inappropriate place, you can change it." β
Ji Erlan looked at Tang Nian and said, "Tang Nian is weak, so she can't let her drag her sick body to follow us." Let's send her back first. β
Twilight said, "In this way, it will be late. She thought for a while, and then said: "The prince is not far from there, why don't you go and borrow a carriage, let's go in two ways, you are tired and go back to the house first, and the slave and maid will go to fetch things for you." β
Ji Erlan was just about to nod, but Hong Yan said on the side: "If you don't dislike it, please also ask this girl to sit in the carriage, and I want to visit the house in the next meeting, and it won't take long to go to Yongjiafang." β
Hong Yan's face was sincere, and Ji Erlan hesitated: "It's better not to trouble Hong Gongzi." β
Hong Yan said: "Miss Ji should not be polite, no matter how you say it, before the next spring, she often goes to the house to disturb, what is such a trivial matter." β
Ji Erlan had no choice but to say: "Yuexi, you go with Duchun, follow Gongzi Hong, don't make trouble for others." β
"Yes, don't worry, girl."
Seeing that Ji Erlan's carriage was far away, Hong Yan let Yuexi and Duchun sit in the carriage, and he himself sat on the carriage with the coachman, and said, "Which store are the two girls going to?" β
Duchun and Yuexi glanced at each other and said, "It's just to go to the two shops to pick up things, and it's not far apart, from here to Yongjiafang, from Tongji Fang, you only need to pass through Liyu Lane, and you can go directly to the front of the store." β
Hong Yan agreed, and the carriage went in the direction of Tongjifang.
Originally, there were not many wealthy families living in Tongjifang, but because of its close proximity to Yongjiafang, some people gradually opened their shops, making the street market in this area also lively. Passing through Koi Alley, Moonrest and Twilight get off the bus in front of a shop called Yanyu Pavilion. Twilight said, "Wait a minute, let's go and go back." β
Hong Yan politely arched his hand, signaling that it didn't matter.
In front of the shop, a plain dark gray curtain carriage passed by. Somehow, the original intact transverse wheel between the wheels cracked with a click. The carriage stopped in place for a moment, and could no longer move for half a minute. The street was not very spacious, Hong Yan's attention was attracted, and he only heard a calm and old voice coming from the car: "What's the matter?" β
Hong Yan was stunned, then narrowed his eyes and hid behind his carriage. Although he didn't have much contact with his grandfather, he could still hear that this voice was Yan Shicheng's.
Yan Shicheng heard the reason from the coachman and asked, "How long will it take to repair it?" β
The coachman was embarrassed: "Master, I am afraid that such a situation will not be used for a while." β
Yan Shicheng paused, immediately got out of the carriage, the whole person was tightly covered by a hood, and instructed the person in charge around him to say, "Anyway, it's not far, I'll go over by myself." You go and rent a carriage and wait for me in the alley across the house. β
"Yes, sir, the villain will go."
Yan Shicheng did not hesitate, tightened his cloak and turned around and entered the deep alley.
Hong Yan saw Yan Shicheng walking farther and farther, looked inside the shop, the moon breath and twilight spring had not come out yet, carefully stretched out his left foot and drew a half circle on the ground, and then lowered his eyes and regained his look.
In the store, Twilight and the store picked up things, rummaged through them, and sat in the store and waited. This shop is next to the street, with a faΓ§ade to the south and a partition window to the west. The moon rests against the window, quietly waiting for the code.
While...... While......
There were two rhythmic taps on the window, and the corners of Yuexi's mouth flashed with a smile, and she raised her head and asked Twilight, "Twilight, are you okay?" People are still waiting outside. β
Seeing the moon's eyes, Twilight immediately accepted the contents of the brocade box, handed the purse to the store, and said, "Okay, okay!" Let's go. β
The two of them got out of the shop, got into the carriage as if nothing happened, pointed the way and went to another shop for a long time, and then went back to Jifu. After thanking Hong Yan repeatedly, the two hurriedly returned to the empty mountain building.
Ji Erlan was waiting for them in the house, and when she saw the two coming back, she smiled and said, "How is it?" β
Yuexi said: "The slave heard two soft noises through the window, Yuechen must have seen someone." I'll be able to call the girl back in a moment. β
"Hmm......" Ji Erlan responded, thinking about what Hong Yan said to her by Gushui today, and felt more and more disgusted. If a person has no bottom line, the hypocrisy will not even be able to distinguish between the true and the false! She snorted coldly, shook off those bad emotions, and said, "It's easy to get cough in spring, and today I boiled a lot of pear paste in the twilight rain, and you should also drink a bowl of it." β
Twilight Chun smiled, "The girl's body is so good, these things are actually cheap slaves." β
Ji Erlan smiled: "In short, you can't lose yourself." β
While a few people were talking, Yuechen came to the door and said, "Girl, Yuechen asks to see you." β
"Come in."
Yuechen followed Ji Erlan to do a few things, although she still didn't see how powerful the other party was, but she had a little understanding of her temperament, and inexplicably felt that Ji Erlan was a glorious person, and her actions made people unconsciously convinced, and looked at her differently. He said respectfully: "The subordinates have been staring in the dark, and after Hong Yan saw Yan Xiang, he hesitated for a moment, stretched out his left foot and drew a half circle on the ground, and then there was no other movement." But the subordinates noticed that there was a breath nearby that followed Yan Xiang. β
"In other words, there is indeed someone behind Hong Yan who is manipulating something."
