Chapter Fifty-Six: Together
The carriage entered Yunyang County, and Ji Yunyun asked him, "I'm at the place, where are you going?" Why don't you go and hire a new carriage? ”
Qi Cheng lifted the curtain and looked outside, and when he saw that it was Yunyang County, he frowned and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”
Seeing that his face was still a little unpleasant, Ji Yunyun replied obediently: "My grandmother is going to have a big birthday, and I invited a gentleman to carve the Jade Buddha, I will come and take a look." ”
Qi Cheng's heart moved, remembering what Mr. Fu told him that day, he asked, "The gentleman you invited is surnamed Fang?" ”
Ji Yunyun nodded, "Well, yes." She was a little surprised in her heart, Qi Cheng had known Mr. Fang so early?
"I haven't seen him in a long time, so I'm going to check it out." Lowering the car curtain, Qi Cheng leaned against the car wall.
…… What about your own business? Ji Yunyun muttered in her heart, but she saw that Qi Cheng was in a bad mood today and didn't want to provoke him, so she only swallowed the words into her stomach and told the coachman to continue to Mr. Fang's house.
When I arrived at the door of Mr. Fang's house, the courtyard door was open, and Mr. Fang was not at home. Chun Tao helped her girl get out of the carriage, straightened her cloak for her girl, and said, "I'll go to the river to look for it, it's windy outside, and the girl will stay in the yard." ”
Chun Tao went out to find Mr. Fang, Ji Yunyun instructed the coachman to move a few jars of wine from the carriage to the courtyard, and she and Qi Cheng stood under the eaves of the main house.
The cold wind was blowing one after another, Mr. Fang's yard was leaking, Ji Yunyun stood with her cloak wrapped in a cloak for a while, and her hands were cold, seeing that her pink little face was a little red by the wind, Qi Cheng stood in front of her and helped her block some of the cold wind.
At his stop, the two were a little close, Ji Yunyun looked up at him, remembered and asked, "How did you know Mr. Fang?" ”
"I've asked him to help carve jade before." Qi Cheng explained briefly, seeing that her exposed ears were blown red by the cold wind, she frowned and turned around and pushed the door behind her.
Ji Yunyun saw it and said beside him, "What are you going to do?" Isn't it okay to push the door of someone else's house like this? ”
"It's he who doesn't lock the door." The door was unlocked, Qi Cheng opened the door and pushed Ji Yunyun into the house.
There was still a charcoal fire burning in the house, and the tea was still warm, so I don't think anyone had been out for long. Ji Yunyun stood and rubbed his hands, Qi Cheng had already found two clean teacups and came out, poured a cup of tea and handed it to her, "Warm up." ”
"Thank you." Ji Yunyun stretched out his hand to take it, and his cold fingertips touched Qi Cheng's warm palm, Qi Cheng covered it with his backhand without thinking about it, and frowned: "So cold?" ”
Ji Yunyun was stunned for a moment, only feeling that the hand he was holding the teacup was surrounded by warmth in the palm of his hand and the back of his hand, and the temperature of Qi Cheng's palm was even higher than the tea in the cup.
"Where's the girl?" Footsteps sounded outside the door, and Chun Tao asked the coachman in the yard.
"Hey, so much wine, I want to thank you girl." Mr. Fang's cheerful voice came in from outside.
Qi Cheng withdrew his hand, Ji Yunyun also hurriedly clenched the teacup and turned to look at the door, Mr. Fang pushed the door in the wine jar and came in.
"Who is this......?" Seeing that there was an unfamiliar man in the room, Mr. Fang was stunned for a moment, then remembered, frowned and said angrily: "Oh, it's you, what are you doing here?" I told you last time, don't think I'll help you carve jade in three years. ”
I don't know how he provoked Mr. Fang last time. Ji Yunyun glanced at Qi Cheng, smiled at the other gentleman and said, "He came with me, not to ask Mr. to carve jade." ”
"That'll be fine." Mr. Fang snorted coldly, turned his head and hugged the wine jar in his arms and smiled at Ji Yunyun, "Girl, the wine you sent is good, the Jade Buddha has already been carved out of the prototype, I'll take you to see it." ”
With that, he put the wine jar on the table like a treasure and walked to the next room.
The weather was cold, Mr. Fang moved all the jade materials in the courtyard to the next room, and on the cleanest table was the jade material that Ji Yunyun had brought over, and there was already a shallow and vague prototype of a layer of jade Buddha, Mr. Fang swore that it would not take a month to complete.
After coming out of the room, Ji Yunyun was about to say goodbye to Mr. Fang, and the little girl who led Ji Yunyun last time suddenly ran in from outside in a panic, standing in the yard and crying, "Uncle Fang, Uncle Fang, go and see my sister, my sister accidentally fell into the river and has been unconscious since she was rescued." ”
Mr. Fang heard this and hurriedly walked outside with her, Ji Yunyun hesitated for a moment and looked at Qi Cheng, Qi Cheng's eyebrows moved slightly and she was about to speak, she had already followed, Qi Cheng had to follow.
The mothers of the two little girls in the courtyard next door were anxiously waiting in front of the little daughter's bed, and when they saw Mr. Fang coming, they said anxiously: "Uncle Fang, take a look at my family." ”
The little girl had already changed her clothes, wrapped in a dry quilt, her eyes were closed, her lips were white, Mr. Fang stepped forward and probed her forehead, and said decisively: "I want to send it to the old man and call a carriage." ”
"I'll send you there." Her carriage happened to be outside, and Ji Yunyun said loudly.
Mr. Fang hurriedly carried the little girl into the carriage, and then sat in front with the coachman to lead the way, Ji Yunyun sat in the carriage, and the little girl's mother sobbed and thanked her, "Thank you, girl." ”
"It's fine." Ji Yunyun bowed slightly, looking at the unconscious little girl with some concern.
When he arrived at the place, Mr. Fang jumped out of the carriage and hurriedly kicked open the door of the yard with the little girl in his arms, and shouted loudly into the courtyard: "Old man, old man! ”
The man quickly pushed open the door and came out, clasped his hands in his sleeves and said unhappily: "Why are you screaming so loudly? ”
Ji Yunyun glanced at the visitor and found that it was the man who saw him fishing with Mr. Fang by the river that day.
"You've fallen into the river, take a look." Mr. Fang hugged the little girl tightly into the door and said anxiously.
Mr. Fu hurriedly took his hand out of his sleeve and walked to the bedside to check the little girl carefully.
"Go to the carriage and wait." Ji Yunyun waited in the courtyard, and when she saw that the cold wind blew her white jade-like earlobes red, Qi Cheng frowned and said, motioning for Chun Tao to take her back to the carriage first.
Mr. Fu happened to come out of the room, and when he heard what he said, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and his eyes moved from him to Ji Yunyun next to him.
"Sir, how is the little girl?" Seeing him come out, Ji Yunyun hurriedly asked.
"I rescued it in time, it's not a big deal, just take a few doses of medicine." Mr. Fu looked her up and down meaningfully and said.
"Since it's okay, we can go." Qi Cheng glanced at him lightly, reached out and grabbed Ji Yunyun's arm and strode towards the gate of the courtyard.
Watching a few people get into the carriage and leave, Mr. Fu touched his chin and thought, no wonder he urged him and Sun Yingying's marriage last time, he hesitated, it turned out that there was such a beautiful girl around him, and he didn't know which lady in the capital could attract people like him to be moved.
When he came out of Yunyang County, he went back to the capital, and until he was about to enter the city gate, Qi Chengdu had been sitting in the carriage steadily, and he didn't hear him say that he wanted to get off. Ji Yunyun asked him in confusion, "Aren't you in trouble?" How did you come back together? ”
"Little things don't matter." Qi Cheng said casually, lifted the curtain to take a look, and quickly put it down.
"What's wrong?" Ji Yunyun asked him suspiciously.
Qi Cheng looked at her with a tense face, "Yingying is outside." ”
Ji Yunyun's eyes widened, and he heard a woman's scolding voice outside, "It was he who rushed over and hit the carriage by himself, and now he is lying here trying to blackmail us?" I won't ask whose carriage it is, and if I block the road, be careful to put you in prison!" ”
The road in front was blocked by Sun Yingying's carriage, and their carriage also stopped, Ji Yunyun carefully picked up the curtain and looked outside, and saw a man lying in the middle of the road, covering his legs and seemed to be in extreme pain, and there was a woman kneeling next to him, wiping her tears and panicking faces, both of them were coarse cloth clothes, and it could be seen that they were just ordinary people.
Someone in the crowd of onlookers recognized the badge hanging on Sun Yingying's carriage and whispered a few words in the ears of the two in the middle of the road, and wanted to help move the injured man to the side of the road. When she heard about the owner of the carriage, the woman hurriedly got up from the ground and let her go to the side of the road.
"You know each other!" Sun Yingying's maid Bishui snorted coldly, lowered the curtain of the window, and the carriage left quickly.
As soon as her carriage left, the crowd of onlookers comforted the women and men on the side of the road.
"You guys had bad luck today and ran into the eldest girl of my uncle's family in this country. This eldest girl is favored by Sun Guifei in the palace, and she is usually the most arrogant and domineering, who dares to offend her in this capital. You don't know from out of town, we see this girl's carriage on weekdays, we have to make a detour, and we are afraid that something will happen. ”
"Yes, although it was obviously her carriage that was too fast and hit the person, who called her a girl from Uncle Guo's family. We, the ordinary people, can't afford to offend, and we can only consider ourselves unlucky. There's a Keats clinic in front of you, so take someone to see it, and the leg hit is not serious. ”
The woman thanked the man and walked away. The crowd of onlookers dispersed while talking.
"This eldest girl of the Sun family has a really good life, no one can take care of such arrogance and domineering."
"No, I heard that she will be the princess of King An's Mansion in the future, and no one will be able to control it in the future."
"The prince of Na'an is blind, there are so many beautiful girls in the capital, why do you want to marry her as the princess?"
"Shhh
Ji Yunyun originally frowned and listened, but when she heard this, she couldn't help but burst out laughing, Qi Cheng glanced at her expressionlessly, and reached out to open the curtain of the window.
"What do you do? Didn't you just say a word, you really want to arrest people in prison? Ji Yunyun hurriedly grabbed his arm and motioned to Chun Tao to let the coachman leave here.
"Talking about the royal family and nobles, of course it should be arrested." Qi Cheng snorted coldly, saying so, but he still let the coachman drive the carriage away without lifting the curtain.
"And that's right." Ji Yunyun muttered quietly, still holding his arm with both hands.
Qi Cheng frowned, and pinched her wrist with his backhand, "Huh? What did you just say? ”
