Chapter 18: Reunion in the capital
There was nothing to say all the way, and a few days later, Ji Jingyang returned to the capital Ji Mansion with Ji Cunyan.
The brother and sister have been out for a long time this time, and they have left the capital or the weather of late winter and early spring, and now they can put refreshments on the patio of the house to chat and enjoy the moon.
Ji's mother Yao loves Ji Cunyan's daughter the most, and when her daughter was away, she specially made a new dress for her, and added a lot of her daughter's rouge gouache, jewelry and toys. At this moment, the mother and daughter are trying on clothes in the inner hall, and only Ji Jingyang and Ji Rufeng father and son are left in the patio.
"Fengdu's matter, how is it resolved?" The season is like the wind, and the season is like a season.
"There is a real person in charge, but there are no branches."
Ji Rufeng sighed.
"But the case of Suzhou is a little strange. I always felt that it was not that simple. ”
Ji Rufeng dragged the small plate in front of him, peeled the dried walnuts with his hands, and said lightly: "The person is dead, and there is no point in pursuing it." Even if His Majesty has some doubts in his heart, there is no proof of death now. Just put it on hold! ”
"The person who can use the poison pill to manipulate the Qinglin python must not be simple." Ji Jingyang said.
Ji Rufeng raised his eyes and glanced at his son, and said with a smile: "You have a longer view." ”
Ji Jingyang lowered his head and smiled.
Ji Rufeng said: "If there is one, there are two, and such a capable opponent will definitely make another move." Now the enemy is dark and I am clear, and let's not move! ”
The two were talking when they heard a brisk footstep behind them. Ji Cunyan jumped up and down in front of the two, and turned around in a small circle, saying, "Dad, third brother!" Isn't my new dress pretty? ”
Ji Jingyang didn't speak, but Ji Rufeng said: "The clothes made by your mother are naturally beautiful." ”
Ji's mother followed out of the inner hall and said with a smile: "If you have nothing to do, you can only do some needlework at home." The inside of this garment is lined with gold silk, which is the most sturdy, and it will not hurt if you bump into it casually. ”
Ji Jingyang said: "Isn't that one last year still lined with dragon scales?" ”
Ji Mu said: "The dragon scales are heavy, and the weather is hot, how uncomfortable are those clothes to wear?" It is still good for gold silk, soft and light. Catch Ming'er's mother to make one for you. ”
Ji Jingyang almost squirted out a sip of tea, and connected: "No need!" ”
Ji Rufeng pushed a small plate of peeled walnut kernels in front of Ji Cunyan and said, "You are your mother's pistachio, if you don't come back, your mother won't show your good-looking father." ”
Ji Cunyan grinned and sat down to eat a small snack.
Ji Mu frowned and said, "Huh? Is this dress a little shorter? ”
"It's not short." Ji Cun said.
"The skirt is a little shorter than I thought, maybe Yan'er has grown taller again, right?" Ji's mother pulled her daughter up and gestured for a while.
"Teenage children have been out for a few months, and it is common sense to grow taller." The season is like a wind duct.
"This skirt looks good when it grows here. No way. Tomorrow cut one more piece of cloth, and add a layer to you below, it looks better! ”
"Okay! Tomorrow, Yan'er will go to the cloth shop with her mother. It's been a long time since I've been to Shunyi Zhai, so I'm going to sell some snacks and come back. Let's go to Cuiyue Tower to see the jewelry! ”
The mother and daughter were very happy to see it, and they had already arranged a full plan for the next day of shopping.
The second day was sunny and it was a good day.
The most famous Huibin Building in the capital is also full today.
I heard that this Huibin Building is the property of the royal prince, and even the cooks have served the emperor in the imperial dining room, if you want to feast in the Huibin Building, it is not enough to have money, but also to have connections. Yes, entering and exiting the guest building has become a great pomp and circumstance for the dignitaries and nobles in the capital.
In the private room on the third floor today, there were several unusual guests.
Jian Shaolin pushed open the window facing the street in the private room and looked at the bustling street scene outside the window.
"Although the poison pill has not arrived, the two giant pythons have also been solved by Ling Gongzi. The Heavenly Master of the Zhang Family is indeed not easy to deal with, especially since the person who Ling Gongzi met was Zhang Yunchu, the head of the Heavenly Master of the Zhang Family. This humane law is profound and unfathomable, if Ling Gongzi encounters him again, he must be more vigilant. ”
"Thank you, Lord Song, for the point. Come, then the official will first salute Lord Song for a drink. Jian Wanchuan picked up his wine glass and said respectfully to the man in front of him.
Jian Shaolin was not good at socializing with these cups, but just looked at the scenery outside the window lightly. This is the most prosperous area in the capital, with many merchants and crowds of people, which is very lively.
Suddenly, he raised his eyebrows, and saw a girl in a pink shirt in the distance who was very eye-catching, and then took a closer look, isn't it Ji Cunyan, the daughter of the Ji family who had exterminated the snake demon with him in Suzhou City? She was carrying a few oilcloth-wrapped things in her hands, thinking that she was so delicious, it should be a snack, right?
Thinking of this, Jian Shaolin actually smiled helplessly and shook his head.
The beautiful woman beside her also carried a few small bags, and the maids and maids who followed behind her were all holding cloth food boxes and other things, and the group was the most common lady and lady in the capital to go shopping and buy things.
Ji Cunyan was still holding a string of half-eaten sugar gourds in her hand, and she said to Ji's mother: "Mother, everything has been bought, let's go back!" While Dad hasn't come home yet. ”
"Hmph, what's the matter, are you afraid that he will scold you for coming home late? There is a mother, he dares. ”
"No, I just want to see how my father and third brother look when they see our big bags and small bags, Dad's expression of daring to be angry and not daring to speak, and feeling sorry for the silver, is particularly interesting haha."
"Hahaha......"
The mother and daughter were talking when they heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance. The sound of the horse's hooves was tight and urgent, and in the blink of an eye, Ji Cunyan saw that the street in front of him was dusty, and in the next breath, a black horse had already galloped in front of him.
It is already inappropriate to run a horse in the middle of the city, and the horse is running so fast that the rider does not take the pedestrians on the road seriously at all, which is really hateful.
In front of Ji Cunyan's eyes, a little girl with pigtails and a piece of sesame candy in her hand was standing in the middle of the road. Her mother was not with her, she was a little person, and she did not know how to dodge, and she saw that the horse's hooves were about to step on her.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Ji Cunyan shook out the ink line in his hand, waved his wrist and threw it, the ink line tied the little girl's waist, Ji Cunyan tightened his elbow again, and then rescued the little girl from the horse's hooves.
The black steed was disturbed by the sound of bells entwined with ink threads, and its front hooves were raised, neighing, and nearly throwing the man from his horse.
This passer-by turned on their backs, and many small stalls and shops on the roadside were not spared. The little girl's mother rushed over from elsewhere, took her doll from Ji Cunyan's hand, and hurriedly thanked Ji Cunyan.
But the man who rode the horse was first angry, and he jumped off his horse with a whip in his hand, and shouted, "Who dares to astonish the great ride of Uncle Ben?" ”
Ji's mother wanted to speak, but Ji Cunyan took the first step forward and said, "Isn't it your aunt and me!" ”
The man's face was originally full of anger, but when he saw Ji Cunyan's beauty, his face immediately changed. He looked Ji Cunyan up and down for a long time before he smiled and said, "Where did the little girl come from, she is not so bold that she dares to block Uncle Ben's way." Do you know who Uncle Ben is? ”
"Where did the disciples come from, they are not small, and they dare to ride horses in the downtown area. If I sue you to the government, depending on who you are, it will be a big board. ”
"What a stinky girl! Uncle Ben looked at you a little bit of posture, yes and was a little polite to you, but you kicked your nose and put it in your face. If you look closely, this is a royal BMW! Who dares to pull me to the official? Now you immediately kneel down and apologize to me, and have a few drinks with me. Serve the uncle well, and see that I am happy, and then talk about whether to spare you or not! ”
Ji Cunyan only heard that his stomach was full of anger, and he said angrily: "What about Yuma?!" It's Tianlongwei, and I can say that I have broken the law. I'm going to tie you up right now! In broad daylight, the street is full of human witnesses, and this royal horse is the physical evidence, if any dog official does not accept your case, my aunt and grandmother will go to sue the royal complaint! ”
The people on the side of the road couldn't get used to the viciousness of that person in the city, but now that someone has come forward, they naturally echo it.
When the man saw that things were going to be serious, he became frightened, and he let go of his horsewhip, and he held the handle in his hand, and thought that if everyone did it, he would teach the untouchables a lesson with it.
At this time, the servant of the Ji family said to Ji's mother: "Madam, this is ...... It's not good to make a big fuss. You don't stop it? ”
Ji's mother said: "My baby daughter didn't say anything wrong, second didn't do anything wrong, and third...... This straw bale can't beat her, so why should I do it? ”
For a while, the situation was tense and on the verge of eruption.
At this time, a person suddenly appeared, blocked in front of Ji Cunyan with his body, and said to the whip-wielding man: "Uncle Cao Guo is good." ”
Everyone was stunned.
No wonder this person rode a royal horse and was unscrupulous in the downtown area, it turned out to be the emperor's brother-in-law!
Ji Cunyan frowned, pouted and looked at Uncle Cao Guo, and Jian Shaolin, who stopped him from clashing with Uncle Guo.
Uncle Cao Guo finally had a step down at this time, and he was even more relieved in his heart, but he still had a proud look on his face, and looked at Jian Shaolin in front of him and said, "Who are you?" ”
"In Xiaqin Heavenly Prison Lingtai Lang Jian Shaolin."
"Qin Tianjian? Qin Tianjian is a small yamen, and he dares to block Uncle Ben's way? ”
Jian Shaolin looked back at Ji Cunyan and said, "This is the young lady Ji Cunyan of the Xuanjing Hall Ji family compiled by Tianlong Wei. ”
"Tianlongwei has heard of it, what kind of yamen is Xuanjing Hall? I haven't heard of it, and it won't be a rich yamen, right? Uncle Cao Guo raised his head and continued with a look of deplorability from anyone.
Jian Shaolin smiled slightly and said, "The Ji family is indeed not a wealthy family, but the Miss Ji family, but they are familiar with the same person." Counting, or a childhood sweetheart? That person's name, Uncle Guo must have heard of it. ”
"Oh? Who? ”
"Tianlongwei, Luo Sinan."
Uncle Cao's arrogance was extinguished by this name at once.
"Locke...... Luo Sinan? Do you mean that Tianlongwei commanded Luo Sinan? ”
Jian Shaolin nodded and said, "Since everyone is an old acquaintance, this matter should be a misunderstanding, so it will be settled here, right?" ”
Uncle Cao Guo swallowed a few times and said, "Also...... That's fine, too! Just look at Commander Luo's face, after all, I also have a lot of friendship with Commander Luo! Hum! But girl, you have to remember, I will put this account on hold for the time being, and there will always be a time when you will have to pay it back! ”
After speaking, Uncle Cao Guo, who knew that he was at a loss, jumped on the horse and left in a hurry.
Seeing that he still dared to ride a horse in the downtown area, Ji Cunyan was angry, and just wanted to continue to step forward to teach him a lesson, but was stopped by Jian Shaolin raising his arm.
Jian Shaolin was very good at talking, and he said lightly: "Poor Kou Mo chase." ”
It can be regarded as giving Ji Cunyan a step down.
At this time, Ji's mother handed over the things she was carrying to her subordinates, and walked forward and said to Jian Shaolin: "Thank you Jian Gongzi for breaking the siege." ”
Jian Shaolin said to Ji's mother: "Mrs. Ji is good." I just took the liberty of it, and asked Mrs. not to mind. ”
"Where can it! If it weren't for Gongzi Jian's persuasion, my daughter would have made trouble with Uncle Cao Guo to the official mansion, but I'm afraid it would really be inseparable. ”
Jian Shaolin smiled slightly.
His smile was very good-looking, even Ji's mother was in a good mood, and she said to Jian Shaolin: "Since Jian Gongzi has relieved our mother and daughter, why don't we be the host, how about inviting Jian Gongzi to drink a glass of water and wine nearby?" ”
Jian Shaolin thought for a while and said, "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”
The three of them randomly picked a teahouse and sat down.
Ji Cunyan said to Jian Shaolin: "After Master Jian's case in Suzhou was completed, he walked really fast. Moved out of the post overnight? We wanted to go back to Beijing with you, but we came up empty. ”
Jian Shaolin said: "Jingzhong is a little urgent, so I'll come back after finishing the matter." You were hit by a big snake in Yishan County that day, were you seriously injured? ”
"It's okay! Skin trauma only. ”
Jian Shaolin nodded, looked at Ji Cunyan's ear again, and asked, "Your earrings ...... A new pair? ”
"Tell me more. Zhang Tianshi said that he put some heart protection spell on the earrings with me, and he didn't return me when he asked me for it. However, pomegranate color is no longer popular in the capital! Peach blossom style is now popular! That's right,. Ji Cunyan turned around and asked Ji's mother.
Ji's mother was drinking tea while looking at the young couple with a smile, and when she heard her daughter ask her, she replied with a smile: "Yes! Peach blossom! Spring is coming, and it is the season when the peach blossoms are in full bloom. Yes, and the peach blossom color is so wow! Men and women alike love it. ”
As a result, neither Ji Cunyan nor Jian Shaolin could hear the meaning of her words.
As soon as Jian Shaolin heard that the pomegranate earrings he had done were taken away by Zhang Yunchu, he already knew seven or eight points in his heart, and he also retracted the topic at this time.
Coming out of the teahouse, Ji's mother said to Ji Cunyan: "Don't say it, the peach blossoms in the dust-avoiding view are really effective." I just went to beg, and before I hung it on the bedside for you, your peach blossoms will be there. ”
"Huh? What peach blossoms? ”
"That young man Jane just now! looks so good-looking, this person can not pick out a single one among the thousands of gentlemen in the capital. ”
Ji Cunyan frowned and said, "Mother, what are you talking about?" Jian Shaolin? When you say this, aren't you afraid that the third brother will be jealous? The third brother is the dream of a girl in the capital. ”
"Your third brother's face, my mother has been looking at it for decades, so it's fresh to change your face. What do you think? That Childe Jane? ”
Ji Cun said: "It's not good. The fierce one won't laugh, and when he kills a demon, his hands are black, and people and ghosts will be afraid of him. ”
"Yikes! You are not a demon, and you are afraid of what he will do. Isn't your third brother's hands black? Didn't you say that you cut off the snake's head with a single sword and nail it to the ground? ”
"Then how can it be the same!"
"I don't think it's any different. He's so good-looking, good daughter, aren't you interesting to people? ”
Ji Cunyan shook his head.
"I think he's interesting to you. He remembers any little jewelry you bring. It's not like your dad. ”
"Haha! What happened to my dad? ”
"I, a pair of jade bracelets have been carved for half a month, and they are worn in front of his eyes every day, and he doesn't boast that the new bracelets are good-looking."
"Hahahaha......"
