Chapter Forty-Nine: Jinhua

Although she knew that there would be no one outside, she still tapped the door vigorously and asked for help outside: "Yes...... Anyone? Someone is locked up in this house, is there anyone who will open the door? ”

She screamed several times in a row, but there was no movement outside, she could not retreat, and in some despair she felt that the snake had crawled to her feet again, and the door behind her was suddenly opened, and she fell into the arms of the comer.

Before she had time to see who it was, she hugged her arm tightly and screamed in panic: "Get them away, get them all away." ”

The visitor reached out to block her gaze, locked the door again, and led her into the courtyard, away from the room she had just had.

Ji Yunyun crouched in the man's arms for a while before she came back from her panic, the person in front of her was obviously a man, she hurriedly let go of the person, took two steps back and saw that it was Qi Cheng.

The little face of the girl in front of her was pale with fright, and there were tears on her eyelashes like a crow's feather, Qi Cheng took out a handkerchief from his arms and handed it over, and said softly: "Wipe it." ”

Ji Yunyun reacted that she was scared and cried, took the handkerchief and wiped her tears, choked up and asked, "Why are you here?" ”

“…… Elapse. Qi Cheng thought for a moment and replied.

"Pass?" It was the same perfunctory answer as last time, Ji Yunyun didn't believe it, and after the fright, she was full of anger, she asked Qi Cheng angrily, "Did Sun Yingying let people lead me?" She was also in the bamboo forest last time, right? ”

Unexpectedly, she actually guessed it, Qi Cheng looked at her with a little surprise in his eyes, "Why do you think so?" ”

"When I went back to the capital, I didn't offend anyone, except for Sun Yingying." Ji Yunyun gritted her teeth and looked at Qi Cheng accusingly, "Did you also know that it was Sun Yingying early on?" ”

Both times happened to arrive to save her, she didn't believe that he didn't know that Sun Yingying did it.

Qi Chengzheng didn't know what to say, so he suddenly looked up at the courtyard door, pulled up Ji Yunyun and pushed open a door at random, and hid in.

"Don't talk, there's someone outside." He leaned into Ji Yunyun's ear and whispered.

Ji Yunyun opened her mouth, "No, ......" There was a sound of footsteps at the gate of the courtyard, and Qi Cheng stretched out his big palm to cover her mouth. Ji Yunyun's eyes widened, and he stretched out his hand to break his hand away, but he was restrained into his arms.

The person in his arms was honest, Qi Cheng looked out through the crack in the door, and there were two people dressed as small servants standing in the courtyard, they listened to the movement at the door of the room just now, and then whispered: "Why is there no movement here?" Aren't people locked up inside? You can't be scared out, right? ”

The two talked for a while, gently opened the lock, but pushed each other and no one dared to open the door.

Qi Cheng looked down for a while, and saw the person in his arms glaring at him with a pair of bright and clear eyes, with a faint fear and water in his eyes. He thought that she had a shadow in the room just now, and lowered his head and whispered in her ear: "There are no snakes in this house, it is safe, and when the people outside are gone, we will go out." ”

The houses in this yard are not safe! Ji Yunyun yelled at him with grief and indignation in his heart, but he couldn't speak when he firmly covered his mouth, so he could only use his eyes to complain, but he misunderstood him again.

There was a rustling sound in the house again, Ji Yunyun blinked in fear and hid in Qi Cheng's arms.

Qi Cheng also heard the voice, he glanced back, straightened his shoulders, there were snakes in this room.

The two people in the courtyard were still pushing and shoving, and seeing that the person in his arms was trembling slightly with fear, Qi Cheng paused, removed the big palm covering her mouth, patted her lightly on the back, and said in a low voice: "Don't be afraid." ”

Ji Yunyun buried his head in the chest of the person in front of him, listening to his whispers in his ear, the beating heart that was originally scared gradually calmed down.

The two people in the courtyard finally opened the door, took a quick look and closed it, looking at each other in surprise, "Why are people gone?" ”

"Go back and tell the girl." The two locked the door and hurried out of the courtyard.

Seeing that they were gone, Qi Cheng was supposed to open the door and let the person in his arms go out, but when he looked down at the person in his arms holding him dependently, he faintly didn't want to let go.

Ji Yunyun noticed that the rustling sound in the house was getting closer and closer, and he paid attention to the outside distractedly, only to find that the sound of talking in the courtyard was gone.

"Are the people gone?" She raised her head from Qi Cheng's arms, turned slightly sideways and looked out through the crack in the door, the person was no longer there.

Who knows if the snakes here are venomous or not, and a bite will be terrible. Ji Yunyun hurriedly pushed open the door and broke free from Qi Cheng's arms.

Qi Cheng looked at his arm for a while, and walked out after her.

The two didn't dare to stay in the courtyard, they came out and walked for a while, and faintly saw a figure in front of them, Qi Cheng stopped and said, "The banquet in the front yard is about to start, Miss Ji, let's go, I'll go first." ”

Ji Yunyun looked at him suspiciously, "Why don't you go to the front yard together?" ”

"No, no." After Qi Cheng finished speaking, he paused and explained: "I left early and came back quietly. ”

Ji Yunyun understood, her eyebrows sank, and she asked the question just now: "The prince knew early in the morning that it was Sun Yingying who did it?" ”

Qi Cheng didn't want to lie to her, so he was silent for a moment and admitted, "I know." Yingying attacked Miss Ji twice, all because of me. ”

It's still Yingying, and it's really affectionate. Ji Yunyun thought a little sour in his heart, and asked angrily: "Why didn't the prince explain it clearly to Sun Yingying?" I didn't deliberately get close to the son. ”

"Miss Ji should also be able to see that she is not a character who can listen to explanations." Qi Cheng paused after speaking, and promised: "Miss Ji, don't worry, I won't let her hurt you." ”

"If she wants to hurt me, can you still get there in time every time?" Ji Yunyun flicked his sleeves and said, "I'm not a bully, you let her wait." ”

After speaking, she stopped looking at Qi Cheng, turned around and strode away.

Qi Cheng watched her walk away and saw someone coming this way, so he had no choice but to leave.

Ji Yunyun did what he said, and when he returned from Chongenbo Mansion, he began to think about how to deal with Sun Yingying. In the last life, she was bullied by Sun Yingying miserably, and in this life, she doesn't plan to swallow her anger anymore, the Sun family has not fallen yet, and she can't make big ways to punish her, and it's okay to make some small ways to tease her.

After autumn, it rained a few times, Zhou Fu accidentally fell, the child was almost bad, Ji Yunshu was very worried, and when the rain stopped, he invited Ji Yunyun to go to Fahua Temple to pray for Zhou Fu and the child.

The two arrived at the temple and sat in the Zen temple after praying for blessings. Today, there are many young girls in the temple, and after the incense, they all go to the back mountain gate of the Zen Temple, and Chun Tao said with a smile: "It seems that the Jinhua in the back mountain has bloomed, and the girls are going to ask for marriage." ”

There is a legend in Fahua Temple, it is said that there is a kind of Jin flower in the back mountain, which only blooms for a month after the first autumn rain every year, this flower is beautiful and difficult to find, but once you find it, you can quickly meet the person you like, and the person you want to marry, and live a happy life for a lifetime. It is said to be very effective, so every year after the autumn rains, there will be many young unmarried girls, to the back mountain of Fahua Temple to look for Jinhua, just to meet the person of choice.

Ji Yunyun's heart moved when she heard this, touched Ji Yunshu's arm and said, "Big sister, let's also go to the back mountain to find Jinhua, I heard that it is very effective." ”

"Yes, yes, girl, just this month a year, let's go and look for it, maybe we can find it, and the girl will soon be able to meet the person she likes." Ying'er nodded again and again beside her, after the marriage between her girl and Young Master Zhou was canceled, there were other sons who showed favor to her girl, but her girls didn't care too much, she hoped that her girl would forget Young Master Zhou quickly and find the person she liked.

Ji Yunshu was also moved by what they said, so he and Ji Yunyun went to the back mountain gate with the girls in the temple.

The back mountain is quite large, and no one knows where Jinhua grows, and the girls who came out of the temple are scattered. Ji Yunyun and Ji Yunshu looked as if they were walking, occasionally opening the bushes to find carefully. The two maids, Chun Tao and Ying'er, also looked very carefully, and carefully turned over between the grass and branches, for fear of missing it.

"You two girls, looking so seriously, do you also want to meet the person you like soon to marry?" Ji Yunyun smiled and teased Chun Tao and Ying'er.

"No, we're looking for two girls." Chun Tao said with a smile.

Several people looked for a while, but found nothing except the wild flowers in the mountains, and saw that they were a little far away from the mountain gate, and they were about to go deep into the forest, Ji Yunshu stopped and said: "This Jinhua is really difficult to find, forget it, don't look for it, it's not safe to go inside." ”

"I haven't seen it all the way, so it can't be in this forest, right?" Ji Yunyun looked into the forest.

"Even if you can't look for it inside, who knows what's inside, let's go, go back." Ji Yunshu pulled her, called the two maids, and walked back.

There are many paths and trails in the mountains, and they have long forgotten the way they came, and found a new way to go to the faintly visible mountain gate.

It rained two days ago, the fallen leaves on the ground were full of water and stepped on the feet soft, Ji Yunyun and Ji Yunshu walked carefully with their skirts, Chun Tao and Ying'er walked behind them, and suddenly "poof", Ji Yunshu's feet stepped on the quagmire covered by the fallen leaves.

"Big sister." Ji Yunyun hurriedly supported her, Ji Yunshu took out her feet, and her embroidered shoes were already covered with muddy water.

Jinhua didn't find it, but stained her shoes, and Ji Yunshu was a little helpless.

"Girl, put on my shoes." Ying'er hurriedly squatted down and took off her girl's shoes and socks, wiped the girl's feet with a handkerchief, and then took off her shoes.

"And what do you do?" Ji Yunshu frowned, her shoes were already dirty and couldn't be worn, could she let Ying'er be barefoot?

"You accompany the eldest sister to wait here, and I'll go back to the temple and ask." Ji Yunyun left Ji Yunshu and Ying'er in the same place, and took Chun Tao back to the temple at a faster pace.

Ying'er looked left and right, and saw that there was a thick tree next to it that fell to the ground, and there was a flat and dry place on it where people could sit, so she said to Ji Yunshu: "Girl, I'll help you go over and sit down." ”

Ji Yunshu didn't wear Ying'er's shoes, barefoot, supported Ying'er, and jumped to the wood with one foot.

Ying'er took out a handkerchief and put it on the flat and dry place of the trees, and helped Ji Yunshu to sit down. Ji Yun straightened the hem of her skirt to cover her feet, and looked at the trees under her casually, as if they had been eaten down by insects, some places were already covered with moss, and there were clusters of fat mushrooms and weeds growing on the ground, she glanced at the mushroom pile, suddenly paused, bent down and pulled the mushrooms with her hands.
