Chapter 152: A Moment of Peace
Among the maids with heads and faces, in addition to these two sent by the eldest lady, there is also Ning Xiang who relies on Lao Tzu Niang's momentum, this one is arrogant and heartless; There is also a person named Shuyu, I heard that he was born in a declining scholarly family, and when he answered Gui Mingyue's words, he was cold and indifferent, with a little bit of clarity.
There are also two maids who are waiting in this west courtyard as early as Gui Mingyue enters the door, called Suqin and ink painting, this time these two are very clean, and they have always been in peace. Because he is well versed in the temperament of the eldest young master, Su Rili only knows to bury his head on duty, and never touch the brows of the eldest young master, and it is Ji Yunyi who has kept them until now.
As for the mother-in-law, in addition to Lao Qiu's family, there is also Mrs. Zhang, who is in cahoots with her, and the other two, Mrs. Bian and Mrs. Cheng, are too deeply hidden, and I can't see where they came from once......
Ji Yunyi listened to Gui Mingyue's analysis, and said: "Mrs. Cheng can be wooed, although she is the same as the old Qiu family, she is from the eldest lady's side, but because the eldest lady is too vicious, something happened inside, causing her to have a grudge against the eldest lady, and she is not as obedient as she seems." ”
It turned out that this mother-in-law was the same as Lao Qiu's family before, serving under the eldest lady, although she was not as favored and valued as Grandma Yuan and Lao Qiu's family, but she was also a grandmother with a head and a face.
However, she has a daughter, who is beautiful and beautiful, and was once taken by the Hou Ye and almost ruined.
It was precisely because of this incident that the eldest lady disliked it, and assigned the daughter of the mother-in-law to a distant relative of the eldest lady who was quite wealthy, but who knew that the person was a fool after marrying.
Although Mrs. Cheng didn't dare to disrespect the eldest lady on her face, she hated it in her heart, and in private, the head of Mrs. Cheng scolded the eldest lady for her viciousness and cruelty, which harmed their daughter's life...... These words were also heard by Ji Yunyi by chance, and after a little inquiry, it became clear.
"What about Mrs. Bian?" Gui Mingyue couldn't help but ask curiously.
Ji Yunyi shook his head, thought for a moment and said, "The identity of this Bian Pozi is very mysterious, and I haven't found out for the time being, but I suspect that she is from the old lady's side." ”
"Old lady?" Ji Yunlang thought of the iron-blooded and majestic old lady who was not angry but mighty, and everyone in the Jihou Mansion respected her, and even the eldest lady did not dare to disobey. Fortunately, she still has some affection and protection for her eldest brother Ji Yunyi, the eldest grandson, otherwise with the ruthlessness of Mrs. Ji, Ji Yunyi would have been poisoned when she was young.
"I haven't seen this old lady since I entered the door, what kind of person is she?" Why is it that when everyone mentions it, they look shocked and scared? Gui Mingyue asked.
Ji Yunyi's feelings for his grandmother are also complicated, she was more intimate when she was young, and she also listened to her teachings to be an excellent and obedient eldest son. Until I saw that she personally sent her aunt to Zhuangzi, and connived at those women to mutilate the legs of her younger brother Ji Yunlang.
I remember that at that time, I was young and incompetent and looked at my younger brother who was dying with blood, and told that every day should not be called the earth and the earth to be unspiritual, and went to find my father, he was hugging the soft fragrant red jade, and complained that he had swept his Yaxing, and kicked him out. could only kneel in the ice and snow, begging her grandmother to come forward to administer justice, but she was indifferent with a rosary in her hand, and she didn't come forward in the end, and Ji Yunyi was cold since then.
I was chilled by the whole Hou Mansion, and at the same time hated my incompetent self, but fortunately, I had an adventure later, and he gradually became stronger.
Gui Mingyue had heard Yun Lang talk about this vaguely, but listening to Ji Yunyi today, wisps of heartache and sadness gushed out uncontrollably in his heart, and finally spread into a trend, God knows how much the two brothers suffered in such a cold and emotionless family at that time.
Gui Mingyue didn't expect her tears to pour out of her eyes in an instant.
When Ji Yunyi saw her crying, she was suddenly a little anxious and a little moved, and hurriedly wiped her tears. The mouth said, "Don't cry, don't cry, it's over, it's all over." ”
Ji Yunlang saw the interaction between the two, and he was also in tears, he was happy for the eldest brother in his heart, happy that the eldest brother had finally found his own happiness. He wasn't sure about other women, but if it was his sister, he would definitely be happy!
Everyone didn't speak, in this cool night in early autumn, the scent of osmanthus flowers outside penetrated the carved window lattice, and Ji Yunyi stroked Gui Mingyue's back one by one, allowing her to calm down.
It also calmed down the fluctuations in his heart, he didn't expect that someone would cry for the tribulations of his childhood, this feeling was indescribable and warm, and some of it made him at a loss. However, the slightly upturned corners of his mouth and his eyes as deep as the starry sky on an autumn night revealed the joy in his heart.
"When I sent someone to search their house today, I found some stolen goods that had not yet been disposed of, including the pearl of the night." Seeing that Gui Mingyue gradually calmed down, Ji Yunyi's beautiful voice came slowly again.
These stolen goods show that they have not been stealing the contents of the treasury for a long time. The night pearl must have been stolen just on the day of the banquet, and it was hastily left in the house before it could be given away.
"How did they get those things?" Ji Yunlang couldn't help but ask in wonder, did he know that the silver pendant girl who kept the key to the treasury was a very cautious and rigorous person.
"They didn't go through the main entrance." Ji Yunyi frowned and said: "I was careless, I have lived here for so long, and I didn't know that there was a secret door in that warehouse!" This secret door is set up quite hidden, ordinary people can't notice it at all, the secret door leads to the outer wall of the Hou Mansion, and it is very verifiable where they stole other things to go. ”
"Since there is a secret door, according to the nature of those people, they should have come to steal it all a long time ago, how could they wait until now?" Gui Mingyue couldn't help but ask suspiciously.
"What if they didn't find out about the existence of this secret door until later?" Ji Yunlang said coldly.
Ji Yunyi also looked cold, so the person who knew this secret door must be the old man in the mansion, and the old man in the mansion has the strength to know everything in the mansion......
"Could it be the old lady?" Gui Mingyue was a spirit, and said: "She told the eldest lady about the existence of this secret door, but why did she want to harm me?" ”
After all, I haven't even seen each other.
"Big brother, is this secret door still there?" Ji Yunlang said: "It should be blocked quickly to prevent future troubles." ”
"No way!" Gui Mingyue and Ji Yunyi said at the same time.
"Ah, you're trying to pretend you didn't find this secret door, so that the thieves will fall into the trap!" Ji Yunlang immediately understood.
Ji Yunyi nodded, stroked his shoulder, and said, "It's late at night, let's rest early." ”
After speaking, he took Gui Mingyue's hand, and the couple went back to the room.
Ji Yunlang smiled and shook his head, who said that the ancients were subtle, and his eldest brother dared to show his love to his sister blatantly, regardless of who was before or after.
In the main bedroom of the West Courtyard.
"Look at what you see, don't sleep yet." Gui Mingyue scolded Ji Yunyi angrily at Ji Yunyi's handsome face and anger.
The tone was indeed soft and squeamish that she had never noticed.
Ji Yunyi chuckled, and Gui Mingyue was even more ashamed, so she had to turn over and ignore him anymore.
In the past few days, he has never consciously gone to sleep in the study, and he lies in the bedroom every day. And Gui Mingyue was soft on him in his heart, and he couldn't say the cruel words to drive him out.
It's just that he was quite honest in the first half of the night, obediently falling asleep with the quilt, and in the second half of the night, he was not so conscious, and he hugged Gui Mingyue with long hands and feet, and treated it as a brocade quilt under the general half-pressed under him, and slept soundly!
Although he has a face that is more stunning than a woman, but how strong his body is, and he is a person who practices martial arts, every time Gui Mingyue can't breathe and can't break free, he is angry enough, and he hammers him twice, and his lips are slightly upturned in his sleep, thinking that Gui Mingyue tickles him.
Fortunately, Gui Mingyue has always been at ease with what she encounters, telling herself that slowly, she will get used to it. Arms, can't twist thighs.
Just as Gui Mingyue fell asleep, Ji Yunyi's sad voice came from the outside of the bed: "Why do you have to wait until you are eighteen years old, Yue'er, do you want to suffocate to death?" I see you've grown up again lately, and it's just the right size for a pigeon......"
Before he could finish speaking, there was a "poof", and Gui Mingyue kicked him off the bed with all her strength.
"Oops," Ji Yunyi grinned as he clutched his arm in pain.
"Huh" little look, you just pretend, Gui Mingyue didn't care about him anymore, turned over and went to sleep.
For a long time, Ji Yunyi hasn't gone up yet, and Gui Mingyue can't help but be a little worried in her heart, she won't really fall, the bed is obviously not high.
couldn't help but turn over again, and opened half of his eyes slightly to aim at him on the ground.
was facing a pair of eyes full of bright smiles, and before he could see Ji Yunyi's movements, his body was lifted into his arms.
Because of the huge difference in body shape between the two, Ji Yunyi sat cross-legged on the bed, like holding a baby, returning Mingyue's head to his neck socket, one hand holding her waist, and patting her back with one hand.
"Sleep." Ji Yunyi said softly.
For as long as I can remember, it is the first time that I have been slapped to sleep like a child, and Gui Mingyue feels novel and a little embarrassed.
It's just that it's really good to fall asleep!
Rare tranquility, a good night's sleep.
What broke the warm and quiet sleep of the husband and wife was the anxious shouting of a little maid outside.
"The eldest young master, the eldest young grandmother, please help, Hongluan, she is hanging!"
I heard Grandma Jiang and others blocking this bold maid.
What the?
Gui Mingyue woke up with a spirit, Ji Yunyi saw that Gui Mingyue was disturbed, and immediately frowned angrily, and scolded: "Bold slave, get out!" ”
Gui Mingyue was already sleepless at this time, at this time, Jin Qi'er and tortoiseshell came in to serve Gui Mingyue to wash, and Yin Shen'er let people stuff cotton in the mouth of the maid who entered the yard and yelled loudly to disturb the young grandmother's dream.
"What's going on?" Gui Mingyue asked as she dressed.
"It's not Hongluan's Nizi, she was beaten yesterday and lost face, and she hanged herself early in the morning today."
"Did you save it?" Gui Mingyue frowned.
"Heh, I'm looking for a doctor to save it, how can I not be saved, I was found just after hanging. I really want to die, a hundred ways to die last night can fulfill her, why is it so noisy this morning. Jin Qi'er was furious.
