Harue sneered angrily, "Do they remember the girl? The girl has been here for a year, except for the monthly money and silver and a few maids, has she ever written a letter to ask? Now the girls are fourteen years old, and they have reached the age of saying that they are married, and the capital has not sent someone to pick up the girl back to the mansion, I think they have long stopped treating the girl as a family member! ”

"What nonsense?" Chun Tao scolded her in a low voice, "The girl is the third lady of the third room, even if the old lady doesn't like it, then there is no reason not to treat the girl as a family member of the season, wait patiently, the capital always has to send someone to pick it up." ”

"I don't know what day I have to wait for, I don't think it's better not to go back, just live in this Zhuangzi all the time, anyway, they can't lack our money, the girl is still alive and comfortable here." Harueda snorted coldly.

"I'm angry again, the third young master is still in the Guogong Mansion, for the sake of the third young master, we have to go back." Chun Tao said helplessly.

Listening to the two girls whispering outside, Ji Yunyun lay in the warm quilt, and her thoughts returned to her previous life. In the previous life, after she saved the prince of King An, she threw him in the West Courtyard, so she didn't bother much. The little maids in the West Courtyard had never served in front of a serious master, and where did they know any precious clothes, they only treated him as an ordinary person. Later, Fu Bo saw that he couldn't remember that there was a shortage of people in Zhuangzi, and seeing that he had some strength, he asked him to do miscellaneous work in Zhuangzi, responsible for chores such as chopping wood and carrying water in the kitchen.

When I told myself at that time, I answered lightly and left it behind. Soon the capital sent someone to pick her up and return to the Gongfu, and she forgot about saving people. Later, the news of the disappearance of Prince An spread throughout the capital, and it didn't take long for the news that Prince An was found, she didn't care too much, thinking that it had nothing to do with herself, until Princess An suddenly asked her to go to King An's Mansion to thank her for saving her life, she was shocked to realize that the person she had inadvertently saved before was actually Prince An.

King An is the younger brother of the current emperor's mother, when he was young, he guarded the northern Xinjiang, brave and good at fighting, a few years ago, the northern Xinjiang was pacified, returned to the capital to hand over the military power, and became an idle prince. Princess An is the young lady of the Yongning Marquis Mansion, the old marquis once saved the life of the emperor on the battlefield when he was young, although he died, but the Yongning Marquis Mansion is still in favor.

Although she is the second lady of the Pingguo Mansion, but her mother is not liked by the old lady, her father for her mother, found an official position in Linzhou, and has been living in Linzhou with her mother, only taking her and her younger brother back to the capital during the New Year's holidays, so she is not close to everyone in the house. Later, her mother died, and her father took her and her younger brother back to the Guogong Mansion, and her father also died a few years later. Because she looks like her mother, the old lady doesn't like her, she has no support in the Guogong Mansion, and the only uncle who loves her is thousands of miles away in Yaozhou.

Because she saved her son, Princess An invited her to sit in King An's mansion from time to time, and not long after her uncle was transferred back to the capital from Yaozhou. Later, she was embarrassed several times, all thanks to Princess An's help.

Ji Yunyun lay in the quilt for a while, and Chun Tao and Chun Zhi came in to serve her to wash. After breakfast, the drizzle outside the window was still continuous, and a thin rain mist rose on the bluestone slab. Ji Yunyun wrote two notebooks, leaned on the soft couch to read, Chun Tao took a needle and thread, and did embroidery work with Chun Zhi.

Ji Yunyun absentmindedly flipped through the pages of the book, looking up at the window from time to time. She suddenly closed the scroll and got off the couch, "It's stuffy in the house, I'll go for a walk in the courtyard." ”

"I'll accompany the girl." Seeing that the rain outside was not heavy, Chunzhi put down the needle and thread in his hand, took the umbrella, stretched it out under the eaves, and the two stepped into the rain.

After walking along the bluestone slab for a while, and when he arrived at the pavilion by the lake, Ji Yunyun said to Chunzhi: "I'm a little thirsty, you go and make a pot of tea." ”

"Yes, girl." Haruka turned and went.

As soon as Chunzhi left, Ji Yunyun looked at the pavilion and saw a little maid passing by with an umbrella, beckoning to her for an umbrella, and walked out of the pavilion to the west courtyard.

There is an apricot blossom tree in the west courtyard, it was planted when the Zhuangzi was built in that year, the branches that have grown for decades are thick, the roots are deep and the leaves are luxuriant, and the apricot blossoms of the tree are scorching and blooming every year when the flowering period is full, such as rouge ten thousand points, and the red clouds are blooming.

The fine rain wet the dress, Ji Yunyun held an umbrella in one hand and a skirt in the other, and stepped into the west courtyard. The apricot blossoms were wet and fell to the ground, and she walked under the apricot blossom tree, and saw a tall figure in a blue robe standing under the porch opposite, removed the umbrella, and raised her head.

Standing under the corridor is Qi Cheng, the son of King An, although she often went in and out of King An's mansion at the request of Princess An in the previous life, she did not see this prince a few times. Although she saved him, she let the dignified prince do miscellaneous work in Zhuangzi, and she always felt a little weak when she thought about it, and the prince had a marriage contract with Sun Yingying, the daughter of Uncle Sun's uncle at that time, and she didn't dare to look at his face carefully in the few times they met.

Now take a closer look, Harueda is right, the prince has an excellent appearance, the outline is cold and handsome, the bridge of the nose is straight, and the eyes are deep and cold. I heard that he went to the army at the age of fourteen, and not only was he tall, but his shoulders and arms looked extraordinarily broad and powerful.

With such a look, it's no wonder that Sun Yingying didn't marry him. It's a pity that what is the use of good looks, the temperament is too cold and ruthless. In the previous life, less than a year after Sun Yingying married him, he united with the prince to confine Sun Yingying's cousin and the second prince, the concubine and Sun Guo's uncle were uprooted, the beheading of the Sun family, the exile of exile, Sun Yingying was confined in an abandoned mansion in King An's Mansion, and I heard that the situation was miserable.

treats his wife so ruthlessly, let alone to others. And he once asked him to do a miscellaneous servant, and the golden backer of King An's Mansion made her tremble and worried, for fear that one day the prince would want to settle accounts with her. At that time, she secretly swore that if she lived again, she would definitely offer him as a guest.

Now that he got what he wanted, Ji Yunyun looked up and down, and found that Chunyu and a few maids took good care of him, and nodded secretly with satisfaction. Qi Cheng was originally staring at the rain in the air and pondering, but Xu noticed that someone was coming in and raised his eyes to look at her.

Thinking of the days when he would have to rely on King An's Mansion in the future, Ji Yunyun hurriedly raised a smile at him.

In the hazy rain and mist, small and delicate apricot blossoms fluttered and fell from the branches, petals fell all over the paper umbrella, as well as Ji Yunyun's dress and shoulders. The apricot blossoms in the rain are moving, Ji Yunyun's posture is tinging, her eyebrows and eyes are crooked, and her smile is more soft and moving than the apricot blossoms.

Ji Yunyun was thinking about what to say to him, so she was close to the sound of Chunzhi outside the courtyard, Chunzhi didn't let her look at a strange man casually, seeing that she was here and would be nagging in her ear for a long time, Ji Yunyun hurriedly turned around and ran towards the outside of the courtyard.

Qi Cheng had been watching the girl in the red dress disappear at the gate of the courtyard, Chunyu opened the curtain and came out of the house, and saw him standing under the porch, the corners of his robe were splashed by the rain and he didn't know it, and hurriedly said: "This rain seems to be heavy, son, come into the house." ”

Qi Cheng retracted his gaze and turned around and entered the house.

March 12 is Ji Yunyun's father's sacrifice day, Aunt Lin asked Da Zhuang to prepare the carriage early in the morning, Ji Yunyun had breakfast, and took spring peaches and spring branches to Fu'an Temple to burn incense and worship.

She couldn't tell the people around her about her rebirth, so she knelt in front of the Buddha and silently confided in her father. After worshipping and coming out of Fu'an Temple, just after leaving the city gate on the way back, the carriage suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Chun Tao asked Da Zhuang.

"Girl, Chunyu and that son also came out." Da Zhuang replied.

Ji Yunyun lifted the curtain and looked out, the carriage stopped at the place where Qi Cheng had been saved last time, and Qi Cheng was frowning and looking around.

When Chunyu saw them, he hurriedly came over and saluted: "Girl, the son said that he wanted to come here to take a look and see if he could think of anything." ”

Ji Yunyun nodded and asked with concern, "What do you remember?" ”

Qi Cheng's eyes looked at her, and Chun Tao on the side saw it, and hurriedly pulled Ji Yunyun's sleeves, put down the curtain and left only a small slit, and said to Chunyu: "We and the girl will go back first." ”

After speaking, he ordered Da Zhuang to drive away.

In the evening, after dinner, Chun Tao and Chun Zhi waited for their girls to bathe. Ji Yunyun lazily leaned on the bathtub and closed her eyes to recuperate, the soaked green silk was scattered on her fair and round shoulders, in the steaming heat, her black hair and white skin and petal-like red and delicate lips were very good-looking, and the fourteen-year-old girl's figure had begun to appear graceful, and the beautiful little girl in the past had gradually grown into a delicate and beautiful beauty.

Looking at the girl's beauty day by day, Chun Tao is proud and worried, proud that even if she returns to the capital, her girl is also outstanding among the noble girls like clouds, worrying that this is not the capital, without heavy protection, the girl's beauty can only attract ill-intentioned covetousness.

I don't know when the Guogong Mansion will come to pick up the girl and return to the capital. Chun Tao looked down at the girl with an indifferent and carefree face in the bathtub, and thought worriedly.

Early the next morning, Ji Yunyun had breakfast, so he ordered Chun Tao and Chun Zhi to pack their luggage.

"Where does the girl want to go?" Harukeda asked curiously.

Ji Yunyun shook his head with a smile, blinked his eyes and said mysteriously: "I dreamed of my father last night, and my father said that my aunt sent someone to pick us up and go home." ”

Chun Tao and Chun Zhi looked at each other, and Chun Tao hesitated: "This ...... How can what you say in your dreams be true? ”

"How can you not take it seriously? Yesterday, I just worshiped my father, and this is my father's apparition. Ji Yunyun smiled and ordered, "Go and clean it up." ”

Chun Tao and Chun Zhi glanced at each other, and when they saw that the girl was insistent, they could only go down and clean it up in disbelief.

Ji Yunyun sat on the couch with her chin crooked, eight or nine days after the last father's sacrifice day, the Guogong Mansion came to take her back to the capital. She thought that the old lady had finally remembered her granddaughter, but later learned that it was the eldest aunt who said a few soft words for her in front of the old lady on her father's sacrifice day, which made the old lady relieved.

The eldest aunt is Miss Xiangfu, the lady in charge of the Guogong Mansion, who is dignified and stable and stern. The eldest uncle has a serious face and does not smile. She didn't see her uncle and aunt very much, and she was a little afraid of them since she was a child, thinking that they didn't look at her niece, whose parents died and was disliked by the old lady, but later she gradually understood that the eldest aunt and uncle were only strict on the surface, but they actually cared about her very much.
