Chapter 2 - The Mansion of the Ji Family
Ji Liang walked in the direction of home according to his memory, and the girl who was saved by him followed closely behind him, for fear that if he fell behind, he would really be beaten by the wrench given by his benefactor to amnesia.
Ji Liang pulled his clothes a little uncomfortably, and the blood stains on his body and clothes began to become sticky, and the smell of rust rushed to his nose, which made him very uncomfortable.
Although he could quickly find a bathhouse to change his clothes, Ji Liang still cautiously did not choose to say this, after all, he was the eldest son of Na Wenxiang. It is inevitable that people will recognize it, and seeing the blood stains on this body may cause some trouble.
Ji Liang did not take the main road leading to the main gate of the palace, but walked through a remote bamboo forest, leading to the high wall of the courtyard at the back.
That is, a few years ago, the teacher climbed out of the wall.
"Hmm...... It should be nearby......."
Ji Liang was looking for a ladder at this time, a wooden ladder that was used by Mr. Teacher to climb over the wall a few years ago, and then hidden by himself.
It's just that now the bright moon is hanging high, and there is no torch in his hand, and those who can't see their five fingers can only try their luck.
Fortunately, Ji Liang was lucky, and he tripped over a ladder hidden in the grass after walking a few steps.
......
After setting up the ladder, Ji Liang turned his head to look at the girl standing obediently on the side, and kindly reminded: "You are waiting for me here." Of course, if you want to run, you can do it, but in the bamboo forest behind you, there are few lonely ghosts that have been eaten by wild dogs. β
If it is said that there are dogs and wolves in the bamboo forest, the girl is not very afraid, but if it is said that there are ghosts........
The girl's body trembled subconsciously, and then nodded her head like pounding garlic, indicating that she would never run away.
As for whether there are lonely souls and wild ghosts, Ji Liang himself doesn't know.
Climb the ladder with your hands and feet, sit on the wall and put the ladder back and put it down, Ji Liang's movements are very fast, and after a while his figure disappears from the girl's sight.
The cold wind swished, and the shallow moonlight made the girl's figure stretch on the ground. Now there is a radius of several hundred meters beyond the wall, not to mention people, not even a single livestock.
Now that Ji Liang is gone, only the girl is left. Nervously swallowed her saliva, and looked back timidly, the deep bamboo forest was like a bloody mouth, so frightened that the girl hurriedly turned her head back and didn't dare to look again, closed her eyes tightly, and her flat body was clinging to the wall, seeking a sense of security that did not exist.
At this moment, the bamboo forest behind him rustled in vain, and a shadow lying on the ground rushed towards the girl at a very fast speedββ!
"Hoo ββ!"
At the last moment, the firelight suddenly lit up, and I saw Ji Liang, who had changed into clothes, just climbed up the wall with a torch.
The bright light of the fire illuminated the place where the girl stood, and immediately the shadow no longer dared to approach, so she had to leave and hide in the depths of the bamboo forest again, and the blood-red eyes stared at the person in front of her with unwillingness and hatred.
Feeling the lights around her, the girl looked up in surprise, only to see a familiar and unfamiliar handsome face under the light of the fire, and a moon-white scholar in the moonlight set off the extraordinary cold temperament of the young man.
βemmmmβ
The girl tilted her head and asked, "Who are you?"
Ji Liang took out a wrench from his sleeve and shook it in front of her eyes.
The girl who woke up suddenly was frightened again: "Hug, hug, sorry benefactor...."
"What a benefactor. My name is Ji Liang, and you will call me Ji Gongzi in the future... Forget it, you can call me Liang Gongzi or Young Master Ji in the future. β
Speaking of this, Ji Liang then remembered that it had been a long time, and he still didn't know who the girl's surname was.
Ji Liang rubbed his chin, is it really a year of working as a worker that has consumed his nature. Otherwise, if it were changed to before, it is estimated that the child's name will be thought of now.
"What's your name?
"Back to Young Master Ji's words, the little woman's surname is Tu, her name is Yun, Tu Yun. β
Surname [Tu]?
It's a rare name.
Ji Liang nodded: "Then I'll call you Xiaoyun in the future." β
"I'll take you into the house in a moment and get a job as a handmaid. You'll earn more money a month than you used to sell candy on the street. β
Speaking of this, Ji Liang paused.
"Of course, as I said before, you can also choose to be beaten by me until you lose your memory. After all, Young Master Ben has never liked the difficulty of being strong. β
At this time, Tu Yun's good-looking eyes had begun to shine with stars, he originally thought that there would be no pie in the sky, but he didn't expect it to really hit his head today, and it was a big pie.
was first saved by his benefactor, but the benefactor also found himself a job that was too good to be good.
You must know that as a maid in the Ji family's palace, a month's monthly money can be more than what you earn by selling sugar for a year, no, there is a lot more!
"How?"
Tu Yun immediately nodded his head with joy: "Mmmmmmmm!!"
......
"That's good. Talk about your parents. β
"It was gone when I was a kid. β
"What about my brothers and sisters?"
"There's a younger brother, his name isβ"
A master and a servant, the two of them just walked and chatted without a word. When he came back to his senses, he had already walked into the palace.
Not only Tu Yun, who had never seen the world, but even Ji Liang, who had seen some "big scenes", had to be amazed by the scene in front of him.
Outside the courtyard, the powder wall is encircled, the green willow hangs around, there are three hanging flower gatehouses, and the verandah is copied on all sides. In the courtyard, the Yong road is connected, the mountains and stones are embellished, and the four-character plaque of "Anfu Kangtai" is hung on the five hugging buildings.
Thousands of households, extremely prosperous.
Today, there are thirteen princes in Dalong, of which there are only four kings with different surnames, and the Ji family is one of them. Today's Dalong Wenxiang, Ji Ziwen, who ranks first among civil officials, is now Ji Liang's grandfather.
Although he is already in his prime, he is still the right-hand man of today's saint and has won his trust, so the palace of the Ji family has a place.
With such a scale and magnificence, it is second only to the palace when looking at the whole country, which is enough to see the grace of the saint to the Ji family.
Just when Ji Liang and Tu Yun were surprised by the scene in front of them, a white-haired old man slowly greeted them.
The old man's name is Tong Yanlu, and he is the chief housekeeper of the Ji family's palace. In this Anping Palace, everything up and down has been handled by him, and he has not even made a single mistake in the fifty years he has been in office, and he is the most trusted person of the head of the family, Ji Ziwen.
In my memory, I once heard my mother say that this great housekeeper was a powerful martial artist when he was young.
It's just that now that I look at it, it's probably just a rumor.
Dozens of steps away, when the old man walked half a stick of incense, he was so anxious that Ji Liang almost wanted to help him over.
"Young Master Ji Liang, you're back. β
The old butler was clasped around his waist and leaned on a cane. With a kind face and respectful demeanor, he did not act like a slave bully at all because this eldest young master was a well-known waste.
Seeing that the old man was still about to bend down and salute him, Ji Liang hurriedly stopped him, for fear that this old antique at home would hurt his body, and he couldn't afford anything when he first came to the other world.
Tong Yanlu smiled slightly, and when he raised his head, he happened to see the punch wound on the left side of Ji Liang's face: "Ah, what is your face?"
"Ah, this. Ji Liang learned the temperament of the former owner of his body, and smiled, "It's okay, it's okay." I was accidentally punched by a thug. β
"Of course, sir, I naturally beat them up. As he spoke, Ji Liang slammed his fist.
Tu Yun, who was standing on the side, bowed his head obediently, and silently complained in his heart: That's not just a fat beating.......
Now that his master has beaten others, he, who is a housekeeper, doesn't need to be nosy anymore, and looked at the girl who was following the young master and asked, "Then who is this?"
"Oh she, little beggar picked up on the road. Grandpa Tong, just look at the arrangement. Anyway, I'm almost hungry, is the rice cooked?"
Ji Liang said it lightly, as if he had picked up a puppy on the road. Tu Yun, who was so angry that his temper had always been mild, was a little itchy for a while.
Tong Yanlu smiled and said nothing, he was not surprised by this for a long time. Thinking about the punch in the young master's face, it has something to do with this little girl.
You must know that most of the servants in this palace were brought back from outside by the eldest young master. From the master who was in charge of the money account, to the servants who cooked and washed the vegetables in the house, there were all kinds of people.
But I don't know if Ji Liang has a good eye for people, or if these people all have the heart of knowing the grace of encounter, and they do everything with all their hearts, which is much better than those specially hired from outside. It was also because of this that grandmother acquiesced to Ji Liang's behavior.
Tong Yanlu nodded respectfully: "The old slave understands." The dinner has been prepared, and all the young masters and ladies are already waiting for you in the hall. β
"Oh, no, just ask the kitchen to bring the food to my house. Ji Liang scratched his head and explained humbly, "You also know that this was punched by the thugs, and it was so shameless for the younger brothers and sisters to see." β
It is naturally false to say that he has no face, but in fact, Ji Liang wants to take advantage of the time tonight to get familiar with this new body, so as not to show his stuffing when he meets his family.
And, he still needs to figure out one more thing-
That's when the alley is the time, why the wrench appeared in his hand inexplicably.
