After Ji Yunyuan agreed to teach Ji Yunting kung fu, in order to prevent the eldest uncle and the old lady from finding out, he secretly made an appointment in the Splendid Courtyard, and Ji Yunyun covered for them. On this day, Ji Yunyun had nothing to do after getting up, thinking that Ji Yunting would come over with Ji Yunyuan after school, she was about to go to the small kitchen to make some small pastries for them, and Chunzhi came in from outside the courtyard in a hurry.

"Girl, girl!" She shouted as she ran, as if someone was chasing after her.

"Slow down, slow down, what's the hurry?" Ji Yunyun stood under the corridor and beckoned to her, helplessly.

"Uncle...... Uncle has returned to Beijing! Harueda ran out of breath and shouted happily out of breath.

"What?" Ji Yunyun was stunned for a moment, "Uncle is back?" ”

Chunzhi nodded vigorously, "Well, I heard it on the street, the prefect of Yaozhou, Lord Yan Kuanyan, it's not my uncle!" ”

She clearly remembered that her uncle in the previous life only returned to the capital in early October, and now it is only halfway through July, how can she come back early? Ji Yunyun was stunned for a while, and Chun Tao shook her arm happily beside her, "Girl, my uncle is back, let's go and take a look." ”

Ji Yunyun came back to his senses and hurriedly ordered: "Go and let someone prepare the carriage, and I'll go and change my clothes." ”

After the incident of the mountain bandits, the girls in the house had to inform the Zhou family when they left the house, Ji Yunyun changed her clothes, and asked people to go to the eldest aunt to inform them, and then hurriedly went to the door to get on the carriage and go to the Yan family's house.

The ancestors of the Yan family were all scholars, and there were also several people who were officials in the court, and there were prime ministers in their heyday. However, by the time of Ji Yunyun's maternal grandfather's generation, the Yan family had declined, and there was only one idle position in the Hanlin Academy. Therefore, the old lady has always looked down on the Yan family, and when her father married her mother, the old lady did not agree.

The Yan family has always been thin, her maternal grandfather and grandmother, only her mother and uncle two children, maternal grandmother died at an early age, her uncle married, her mother married into the Guogong Mansion, and within two years her maternal grandfather also died of serious illness. Later, her mother went to Linzhou with her father, and her uncle soon left the capital with a family to serve in Yaozhou, Linzhou and Yaozhou are not far away, and the two families exchange letters very frequently, every year either the aunt also takes her cousin and cousin to Linzhou, or her mother takes her and her younger brother to live in Yaozhou.

When the uncle's family left the capital, they took all the housekeepers away, leaving only a few servants with inconvenient hands and feet to guard the house. When I arrived at the door of the Yan family's house, I saw several carriages parked in the distance, and several small maids were moving their luggage down. As soon as the carriage was stable, Ji Yunyun couldn't wait to get out of the carriage and hurriedly ran to the door.

Yun Bo, the old housekeeper at the door, was directing the luggage, and saw a girl hurrying over, and was about to ask when he heard her ask, "Where is my uncle and aunt?" ”

"Miss Table!" Yun Bo was stunned, saw the face of the girl in front of him, shouted in surprise, and then said with a smile: "The master went to the palace, and the lady and the young master are cleaning up the house in the backyard." ”

Ji Yunyun listened and trotted to the backyard, the Yan family's house is not big, only three entrances, she often came when she was young, and when she arrived at the backyard, she saw her aunt Zhang standing under the porch, instructing the maids to come and go to clean up the house.

"Auntie!" She shouted, and ran towards Zhang with her skirt.

When Zhang heard the shout, he turned to look at her, saw her face clearly, and took two steps towards her in surprise, "Yun'er." ”

When she arrived in front of her, Ji Yunyun was still thinking about the number of etiquette, and just as she was about to salute, she was stopped by Zhang's hand and looked at her in surprise, "We just came back, how did you know?" Let my aunt take a good look, I haven't seen her for a few years, and she has grown into a big girl, and she is getting better and better-looking. ”

Ji Yunyun also happily held Zhang's hand, since her mother died, her father took her and her younger brother back to the capital, because the distance was far away, the two families had not met again.

Yan Xiao and Yan Shuangshuang in the next room heard the movement and came out to see Ji Yunyun, Yan Shuangshuang shouted happily, "Cousin! So he ran over and hugged her.

"Cousin!" Ji Yunyun also hugged Yan Shuangshuang and smiled happily, although she was called Yan Shuangshuang's cousin, in fact, Yan Shuangshuang was only a few months older than her. The last time we met, Yan Shuangshuang was still a childish little girl like her, and now she has grown into a big girl.

"Cousin!" Yan Xiao followed behind Yan Shuangshuang, looked at the familiar and unfamiliar girl in front of him, and shouted with bright eyes.

"Cousin!" Ji Yunyun let go of Yan Shuangshuang and looked at Yan Xiao with a smile. Yan Xiao is three years older than her, she has loved to play with Yan Shuangshuang behind Yan Xiao's ass since she was a child, this cousin is also very good to her, and she thinks about her for anything delicious and fun. The last time we met, Yan Xiao was about the same height as her, and now that Yan Xiao has grown in size, he is already a head taller than her, and she wants to look up at him.

"I wanted to call you over tomorrow when the house was cleaned up, but I didn't expect you to come over now." Zhang looked at her with a happy smile and asked, "What about Ting'er?" ”

"He's still in school, not out of school." Ji Yunyun replied with a smile, and then asked, "I didn't hear the letter, why did my uncle and aunt suddenly come back from Yaozhou?" ”

"The emperor summoned him back, Lord Wang resigned and returned to his hometown not long ago when he was old, and the emperor seems to have intended for him to take over the post of Shaoqing of Dali Temple." Zhang said.

Ji Yunyun's doubts deepened, after the resignation of Lord Wang in the previous life, the position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple was taken over by the eldest young master of the Sun family, and later the wrong case was tried before his position was demoted and his uncle was called back to take over. Now why did he skip the link of the eldest young master of the Sun family and directly call his uncle back?

"The house hasn't been cleaned up yet, there's not even a place to sit, cousin, let's go walk around the streets." Yan Shuangshuang grabbed Ji Yunyun's arm and proposed with great interest. The capital is much more prosperous than Yaozhou, and when she came back to take the carriage through the street, she wanted to go out for a walk, and her cousin was familiar with the capital, so she could take her for a good walk.

"Go, don't come back too late, Xiao'er go out together and take care of the two younger sisters." Zhang smiled and let them out.

"Brother, let's go." Yan Shuangshuang happily held Ji Yunyun, Yan Xiao followed behind, and the three of them happily got into the carriage and went out.

The last time she was in the capital, Yan Shuangshuang didn't have any memory, but now it's strange to see everything in the capital, pulling Ji Yunyun to shop after shop, buying a lot of gadgets, Yan Xiao followed behind the two younger sisters, responsible for paying the silver and carrying things.

Yan Shuangshuang was selecting cloth in the silk shop, and Ji Yunyun saw a stall selling bamboo utensils outside the door, so he went out and walked to the stall, his eyes stopped on a bamboo flute. She remembered what happened when she was a child, when she was a child, Yan Xiao played a good flute, every time the two of them were fighting, Yan Xiao would play the flute to admit her mistake, she picked up the bamboo flute to play, and saw Yan Xiao coming out behind her, turned around and asked with a smile: "Cousin, do you think this bamboo flute looks like the one you often played when you were a child?" ”

Yan Xiao took it and looked at it, and said with a smile: "Like, I haven't played the bamboo flute much since you returned to the capital, and the bamboo flute has long been gone." ”

"I'll give you this bamboo flute, and I'll play it to me later." After Ji Yunyun finished speaking, he took out the silver and bought the bamboo flute and handed it to Yan Xiao.

"Okay, I'll blow it to you later." Yan Xiao took the bamboo flute, and when he saw Ji Yunyun's smiling eyebrows and eyes, as if he had looked at the little girl who had followed him before, he couldn't help but reach out and rub her hair like when he was a child.

Qi Cheng and Zhao Yan, the son of the Marquis of Yongning, came back from the racecourse on the outskirts of the city, and rode slowly on the street, Zhao Yan glanced back at the carriage following behind, pulled the horse rope closer to Qi Cheng, and asked in a low voice: "I said, do you really plan to marry Sun Yingying?" I heard that Concubine Sun Guifei has mentioned your marriage to the Sun family several times in the emperor's precedence, if you don't want to marry Sun Yingying, make plans as soon as possible, so as not to get married by the holy decree. ”

"I'm measured." Qi Cheng said lightly.

"What's your measure?" Zhao Yan rolled his eyes and was anxious for him, "Then Sun Yingying is easy to marry home?" If you like it, it's fine, and you don't like it. The Sun family is anxious to marry Sun Yingying to you, but they just take a fancy to the Anwangfu behind you, and want to use the Anwangfu to let the second prince replace the crown prince. Don't you know these truths, and you still want to marry Sun Yingying? ”

Qi Cheng pursed his lips and remained silent, of course he knew these truths, but he wanted to marry Sun Yingying just to reassure the second prince and the Sun family and eliminate the vigilance against him, and his and the prince's plan was going smoothly in secret. It's just that he doesn't plan to let anyone other than the palace and the crown prince know, even Zhao Yan can't, the more people who know, the more complicated it will be.

He was about to casually start a topic to overshadow Zhao Yan's question, when he suddenly saw a familiar figure standing in front of a bamboo stall opposite, and his eyes couldn't help but sink slightly.

Zhao Yan saw that he didn't know what to stare at for a long time and didn't reply, followed his gaze, raised his eyebrows and said: "Isn't that the second girl of the Ji family on the other side, after hearing about the mountain bandits, the Guogong Mansion didn't let a few girls in the mansion go out at will, why is she on the street today, and there are no guards around her?" Who was the man next to her? Why haven't I seen it in the capital? looks very close to Miss Ji, won't she be Miss Ji's sweetheart? ”

His wife Zhou Fu has a good relationship with Ji Yunyun, and she has been to the Yongning Marquis Mansion with Ji Yunshu a few times, so Zhao Yan knows her. However, he hadn't heard Zhou Fu say anything about Ji Yunyun's sweetheart, and was about to go to the carriage to let Zhou Fu take a look, when he saw Qi Cheng still staring at the other side, his face seemed to be a little unpleasant, and he couldn't help but have a strange thought flashing in his heart.

"Ahem, speaking of which, this season girl is almost fifteen, and she has reached the age when she should be married. Among so many noble girls in the capital, the appearance of the second girl of the Ji family can also be regarded as outstanding, and when the time comes, there must be an endless stream of people who go to the Guogong Mansion to propose marriage. I don't know which family's son will marry her home in the end. Zhao Yan opened his mouth meaningfully while observing Qi Cheng's face.

"You are already a relative, and you still praise other girls, if you let your cousin-in-law know, will she let you go?" Qi Cheng clenched the horse rope in his hand and turned his head to glance at him.

Zhao Yan was choked all of a sudden, and looked at the carriage behind him with a weak heart, just as the curtain of the carriage was opened, Zhou Fu poked his head out of it, he hurriedly turned the horse's head and ran over, and asked with concern: "What is Madam doing when you come out?" ”
