Chapter 723: The Master Next Door
Zhao Dahu's jaw dropped in shock, "What do you mean...... Does the Queen Mother know you're here?! ”
Ji Yushen glanced at him lightly, noncommittal.
Zhao Dahu understood this reaction.
He relented and thought for a moment, "Wait, you let me sort it out...... What you mean is that now the Queen Mother knows that you have come back to life and that you are here. She knew it, but she ...... Didn't want to see you? ”
The corners of Ji Yushen's mouth hooked up an arc that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
It's like a laugh, but it's bitter.
Zhao Dahu suddenly felt a little sad.
Originally, Ji Yushen learned that Su Youyi had been taking care of Li Qianyue all along, so he was ecstatic, saying that Su Youyi had him in her heart, so she would take care of his son like this.
That was the first time Zhao Dahu had known him for so many years and was crazy with joy when he saw him.
But now, Su Youyi clearly knew that he was still alive and knew that he was in the capital, but she didn't see him......
No wonder Ji Yushen is still staying in this courtyard.
He was a rough man, accustomed to a rough voice, and suddenly felt a little helpless, "Brother Ji, you, don't be discouraged." Maybe that Duofu was too careless and didn't have time to find someone to check, maybe the Queen Mother didn't know that you were alive! ”
Ji Yu smiled deeply and said nothing.
Duofu can be the father-in-law of Su Youyi's side, so he is naturally not such a careless person.
If the people serving in the palace had been careless, they would have died so long ago that they couldn't find their bones.
Zhao Dahu also seemed to feel that his reason was too far-fetched, so he had to say: "Maybe, maybe the Queen Mother doesn't want to see you, but she is not free for a while?" I think...... She shouldn't have another man. ”
Ji Yushen couldn't cry or laugh, "Are you persuading me, or do you think I'm not annoying enough?" ”
Zhao Dahu knew that he had said the wrong thing, no matter how he said it, he couldn't say it, forget it, wouldn't he be able to say it?
He walked out gloomily, "I'll go and see if Aunt Zhou's dinner is ready......
Zhao Dahu walked out, and silence returned to the room.
Ji Yushen leaned back in his chair and looked out the window at the mottled shadows of the trees, the tall plane trees fell fine spots of light, and from time to time the wind blew the trees, and the light and shadow swayed.
Those shadows blown by the wind stretch from time to time, stretching the scene and memories together.
He watched in a daze, his thoughts were so entangled that the image of a woman suddenly appeared in his mind, dressed in ordinary coarse cloth clothes, sitting in front of the window of a low house in a bad alley, sewing clothes for him with a needle in her hand.
That was after he had just been hit by Tanhua.
Later, it was said in the palace that Su Youyi was not good at needlework, so she never embroidered and tailored clothes herself, even if she occasionally did some needlework, it was very simple.
Only he knew how skillful Su Youyi's hands were, and he had cut too many neat clothes......
Can't you really go back to those?
……
Ji Yushen stays in his yard on weekdays, although he rarely goes out, the gate of the yard is always open.
The area is quiet, many courtyards are even empty, there are few pedestrians, and in the summer, when you open the courtyard door, there is a gentle breeze, which is very suitable for reading in the shade of the trees.
Ji Yushen was always reading under the tree in the courtyard, and looked out of the courtyard door from time to time, but he didn't know what he was looking at.
Today, he rarely stepped out of his yard.
Looking outside, there were no pedestrians in the long alleyway, and he had nowhere to go, so he turned to the front of the opposite courtyard.
In the past, Li Qianyue's courtyard was closed by the door, but this year he became familiar with the opposite door, and when he saw that the courtyard door was often open, they also learned like this.
In this way, it is more convenient for the servants of the two families to come back from grocery shopping, or if they have something to say.
Ji Yushen knocked on the wooden courtyard door.
There was no one in the yard, and someone came out of the house when he heard a knock on the door, and he was stunned when he saw Ji Yushen, "Are you...... Oops, it's the master of the door, right? ”
The two families have been in contact for a year, and they have seen Ji Yushen, but because they have seen little and he doesn't go out, Sister-in-law Zheng didn't react for a while.
She looked at Ji Yushen with a bright eye.
What a young and personable son!
At such an age, he accumulated a lot of family business in Lingnan, and became an imperial merchant within a few months of entering the capital, and he was very generous to ordinary neighbors like them.
Such a good man, where can he find another one?
Sister-in-law Zheng hurriedly beckoned him into the house to sit, poured him tea, and asked people to come to the ceremony, "The lord next door is here, come quickly, please ask the little boy to come out and see him!" ”
The courtyard is full of slaves, and there is only one master, Li Qianyue, although it is small, he has to come forward to meet the distinguished guests.
Everyone hurried out, and they were very surprised to see that it was Ji Yushen coming.
An'er took Li Qianyue out, and the little child Tong opened a pair of round eyes and looked at Ji Yushen fixedly-
"Daddy is here."
Burst.
Everyone burst into laughter.
"The little boy has learned to read and write now, why is it still unclear? This is the old man next door, not Daddy! ”
"I don't know what the fate of the master and our little boy is, it's been a year, and the little boy still doesn't forget to call you daddy!"
"But then again, the old man and our little boy are really a little similar, especially the eyes and eyebrows! Isn't there really any relative? ”
Everyone said it as a joke, only Ji Yushen and An'er didn't laugh.
Ji Yushen glanced at Li Qianyue at this time.
The child was born a little like him, with deep eyebrows, but the child is still young, and the outline is not very clear.
But the lower half of his face looks more like Li Ziyue, his lips are slightly pink, and on a boy's face, he inevitably looks a little more feminine.
Fortunately, he is young, and when he grows up, this soft characteristic will probably make him look more handsome.
At this moment, the child's eyes fell on him.
This is a smart child, from the first time he saw Ji Yushen a year ago, he knew that this was his father.
Although he never hugged himself or kissed himself when he was a child, he ......
A father is a father.
Ji Yushen put down the teacup, "I heard that your little boy is studying now, I just have nothing to do and want to come and see, I don't know how many books the little boy has read now?" ”
Li Qianyue is very well-behaved, although everyone else is laughing at him, but he only has Ji Yushen in his eyes.
Hearing Ji Yushen ask him what he had read, he also took out the seriousness of an ordinary child being tortured by his father, put his hand behind him, and said with a glance: "I have read the three-character scripture, the surname of a hundred families, and now I am reading a thousand poems." I'll recite one to my father, okay? ”
It's still Daddy.
This time, everyone couldn't laugh, looking at Li Qianyue's serious little expression, and then thinking that he had no parents and only slaves as companions since he was a child......
But the people were sad.
