When Ji Liyou woke up the next day, the storyteller was no longer around him, and the wound on his waist was no longer there. He vaguely remembered that the storyteller had a long conversation with him. He asked the storyteller many things, but in detail I think about it, but I can't remember anything.
Ji Liyou cursed secretly, "You broke your promise and promised not to erase my memory."
Jie Li outside has been waiting for now, "Sir, madam, please come over."
Ji Liyou asked himself why Ji Shanjing's mother had never spoken to her, so why did she want to go to him today.
Could it be that Ji Shanjing was confusing right and wrong and saying that he had hurt him
When he arrived in the front yard, he saw Mrs. Ji waiting for him.
Ji Liyou couldn't help but wonder if he really wanted to cause trouble for him.
"Come to me, come closer and let me see."
Ji Liyou had no choice but to approach slowly and heard her say to the ladies, "Look at how exquisite this child is. He looks like a beautiful child. If he hadn't been raised in a foreign county since he was a child, he would have become famous in Liangzhu. .”
Mrs. Mu looked at Ji Liyou and felt that this young master's eyes were like stars, his eyebrows were like distant mountains, and he looked like a talented man, so she kept praising Ji Liyou to Mrs. Ji.
Ji Liyou had never seen such a battle before. Maybe he was looking for a marriage for him, and it was inconvenient for him to offend Mrs. Ji, so he had to hang his head low, but he was constantly thinking about countermeasures in his heart.
These ladies were all noble ladies from aristocratic families. One of them was wearing a Ruyi brocade dress with a sea cloud pattern. Ji Liyou could tell at a glance that it was expensive. Sanqi Tea House could not afford such a brocade dress even if it kept accepting customers for a month. , and saw these ladies wearing dragon buns and hair on their temples like cicada wings. Even though they were no longer young, they could not hide the nobility of these ladies.
Ji Liyou was not afraid of Mrs. Ji, he was just embarrassed to be picked on by these ladies.
But Ji Liyou had to admit that he always felt a sense of oppression when facing Mrs. Ji. She smiled gracefully and didn't say anything out of the ordinary, but Ji Liyou was flustered for no reason.
Soon someone from the Meng family asked Ji Liyou's birthday and horoscope.
The Mu family joked that they were interested in marrying the little girl from the Meng family, and everyone laughed.
Ji Liyou also heard the wife of the Mu family saying to the Meng family, "Wanjuan, think twice. If others know that you have married your daughter to a child with no official title, who knows what you are saying about your girl behind your back?" gossip."
Mrs. Mu's words made sense, but Mrs. Meng was somewhat repelled. She was even thinking about how to comfort her daughter and let her find another husband.
"This child has been used to living in the wilds since he was a child. No one has ever taken care of him. He lost his mother at a young age and his father didn't stay around for a few more years. How pitiful."
Madam Ji was originally speaking to the ladies, but her eyes kept glancing at Ji Liyou.
Ji Liyou understood what she meant. She just wanted to use the mouths of these women to tell the fact that he was of humble status. She wanted him to understand that Liangzhu was not the place he should come from, and that the aristocratic family was by no means as simple as he imagined. .
After hearing this, Ji Liyou smiled slightly, neither humble nor arrogant, "If we want to marry Liyou today, then Liyou must first thank Madam for this great kindness, but Madam said a few things wrong. Didn't I grow up in the wild?" The eldest child is not undisciplined. I have a father and a master. I have written poems and written articles since I was a child, followed the etiquette of aristocratic families, rode horses and archery, and never missed a beat. Thank you madam for loving Liyou, but Liyou is not a poor child. "He didn't lower his head when he said these words. He raised his head and spoke every word clearly.
She wanted to humiliate him, but he was helpless.
"Although you are a good boy, everything depends on your fate. I will not let you leave Liangzhu and return to the remote place of Bolu. From now on, you will stay in Ji Mansion and help your brother. He is busy with affairs on weekdays. If Remember to remind him if he forgets something." When she said this, Mrs. Ji, like an ordinary mother, could not hide her worries.
Ji Liyou was about to say that he would not stay in Liangzhu longer and would leave on his own after his grandmother's birthday party.
Mrs. Ji suddenly asked, "Do you have a girl you like in your heart?"
Ji Liyou shook his head, "No, Liyou hasn't thought about starting a family yet."
Madam Ji smiled and said, "Go and invite the princess to meet Liyou. Our Princess Tangshuo is so innocent and innocent. Liyou will definitely like her when she meets her."
Ji Liyou frowned and thought to himself, "Princess Tangshuo has a noble status and has been in love with Ji Shanjing for a long time. Why did his mother push the princess to him?"
After waiting for a while, I saw Ran Ran coming with gentle steps.
Ran Ran and Ji Liyou had just faced each other yesterday, and Ji Shanjing had hurt him again because of her. When they met again, Ran Ran was extremely embarrassed.
After saying a few words, Ran Ran clearly sensed what Mrs. Ji meant. She said displeasedly, "I didn't sleep well last night. If Madam is fine, I would like to go back to rest early, so there is no need to salute."
When Ji Liyou saw her turning her face away, she suppressed her smile and said, "If Madam is fine, Liyou will leave first."
It was a pity that Mrs. Ji saw that the two people did not make eye contact. She thought that most of the women from the aristocratic family were attracted by Ji Liyou's face, and Princess Tangshuo would also like it. Unexpectedly, Princess Tangshuo didn't even look at it. .
She had no choice but to let Ji Liyou go with a stiff face.
As soon as Ji Liyou left, most of the ladies dispersed. They all saw that Princess Tangshuo was not happy, and few of them really wanted to marry their noble daughter to such a young man raised in another county.
Only Mrs. Mu is still there, and she has always been on good terms with Mrs. Ji. "I think that although this child is young, he is not inferior in his conduct. I am afraid that even those who are slightly older than him are not as stable as her."
"This is within my expectation. He grew up outside. He became the head of the Boluji family early, so he is naturally a somewhat responsible child. But did you see it? I just hit the mark on his pain points. , when he faced me, he had that cruel energy hidden in his heart, but his face looked calm." Mrs. Ji said.
"Aren't you afraid that this child will usurp Shan Jing's power in the future? You will regret it later."
Mrs. Ji smiled proudly, "He is a smart man. No matter how high his status is, he has to keep his head down in front of Shan Jing. Besides, Shan Jing is not only the eldest son, but also the current head of the Ji family. There is an old lady behind him after all. Support me." She almost gritted her teeth when she said the word "support me."
"Madam, what you said is wrong. This time the old lady brought him back to Liangzhu, there have been subtle changes. After all, he is a child raised in Bolu, but don't forget that he is your son who was once the chief minister of Liangzhu. No matter how bad the grandson my husband's father left in Bolu is, Shanjing and he have the same grandfather." Mrs. Mu just wanted to remind her, but when she said it, it sounded a bit threatening.
Mrs. Ji sighed, "I don't want the old lady to ignore right from wrong and do everything according to her own temper. He has to understand who is the backbone of the family now. Without my son, it would be difficult for the Ji family to gain a foothold in the court."
Mrs. Mu nodded, "Actually, I think the old lady treated this child unusually, and it might be because of his face. I heard from several people in the Mu family who had met Ji Cheng that they met Ji Li at Meng's house that day. Worry, I’m really shocked, this kid is actually 89% similar to Ji Cheng.”
Ji Liyou didn't want to stay in Ji's Mansion for a moment longer, but he hadn't thought about leaving yet. There were too many puzzles in Liangzhu, and he always felt like there were hands controlling him behind him, as if there were countless thin lines behind him. The man was pulling the puppet string behind his back.
Ji Liyou only hopes that when he finds out, all this will not have anything to do with the storyteller.
He wanted to go to the inn to find the storyteller, but learned that he was not at the inn. Ji Liyou wondered where he had gone. Did he know anyone else in Liangzhu
He had no choice but to hold his breath and wander around Liangzhu by himself. The bell on his hand rang, causing several men to look at him.
A man named Meng Lang saw him wearing a silver bell and said with a smile, "Young gentleman, why don't we go out front and play together?"
Ji Liyou had nothing to do. He crossed his fingers and said deliberately, "Let's do this. If anyone can take me away, I will follow him."
Naturally, he was confident that these people would never be able to sway him. He had been practicing basic skills for many years, and his lower body was extremely stable. Most people were no match for him.
Just when one of them was really going to touch his hand, a folding fan suddenly broke the man's hand. The pain made him curse, who was the blind person who hit him with something.
The owner of the fan said without anger or laughter, "Get out of here."
When a few people were about to take action, Ji Liyou persuaded them, "If another hundred people come, they won't be able to defeat him."
Seeing that he was really calm and unsteady, everyone was frightened and ran away.
Ji Liyou sneered, "I don't have the courage to be a thief, but I have a thief's heart."
"When I came to Liangzhu, I didn't cause any trouble, but it was you who caused trouble all day long." The storyteller walked in front of him without looking back. He seemed to be angry.
Jie Li came to meet Ji Liyou soon, handed him the shortbread he wanted to eat and said, "Master, this is the last one."
"Well, thank you." Ji Liyou said.
"Did you heal the injury on my waist yesterday?"
"Could it be the person next to you?"
Xie Li suddenly heard him mentioning himself and pointed to his nose, "Me? I didn't treat the young master. I didn't know that the young master was injured until he came back. I don't know how he was injured?"
Ji Liyou said it was okay, "I was just scratched by a branch."
Xie Li nodded, "You have to be careful even in the mansion. Last night, when it was almost night, I heard that the master of the house was injured by a tile on the eaves and he bled a lot. It was such a sudden disaster. Sir, tell me, do you have to do it on weekdays as well?" Be careful?"
Ji Liyou scratched his brows and glanced at the storyteller, "Yes, of course I have to be careful. If the passing deity becomes unhappy one day, a spell will kill me."
The storyteller turned around and glared at him.
He spread his hands and said, "I'm talking nonsense, why are you staring at me?"
While they were talking, someone called Ji Liyou's name on the street.
The storyteller clenched his fan bone for no reason.
Princess Tangshuo ran over, sweating profusely and her face flushed. Ji Liyou's eyes flashed, and the figure of another woman seemed to flash across her eyes.
"Brother Liyou, I have something to say to you."
Ji Liyou nodded, "If you have anything to do, tell me now."
Princess Tangshuo looked at the two insignificant outsiders.
Ji Li said worriedly, "These two are our own people. Whatever you want to say, say it as soon as possible, otherwise your kind and respectful brother will see me and think I'm trying to trick you."
Ran Ran said no, "Brother Shanjing saw me talking to someone else for the first time. I promised him that I would not talk to strange men unless necessary."
Ji Liyou's eyes were startled. He didn't expect Ji Shanjing to have such a strong possessiveness in his bones. It seemed that he was not only narrow-minded about his position as the head of the family, but also about this girl.
"Then it's not necessary now. You don't have to talk to me." Ji Liyou said deliberately.
The storyteller scratched his head with a fan, as if he was tired of waiting.
"What do you want to say, say it quickly." Ji Liyou said.
"Brother Shanjing hurt you, I'm sorry for him, he didn't mean it."
Ji Liyou teased her, "The sword stabbed me on the waist. Can I still do it from now on... But it's all within his sword's reach. Fortunately, I dodge quickly."
Ran Ran asked, "Can there be anything?"
"Forget it, your Shanjing brother might cut my brains off if he hears it. In short, I received your apology, but I don't accept it."
Ran Ran was reluctant, "Then how can you forgive him and me?"
Ji Liyou thought of a trick and asked Ran Ran to put his ear closer.
"Let's do this. You ask the man in green to buy you a piece of pastry, and I will forgive you."
Ran Ran nodded, "Isn't this very simple?"
She walked up to the storyteller and gave him a tael of gold, "Master, can you buy a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake for me? The rest of the gold will be yours."
The storyteller stirred the gold with his fan, but said nothing.
Ranran said impatiently, "How about I give you another ten taels of gold?"
The storyteller said, "Princess Tangshuo is too generous. A cake only costs a few pennies. The princess actually wants to give me ten taels of gold. How dare I accept it?"
Ran Ran was shocked, "Do you know my identity?"
The storyteller didn't answer her, but said to Ji Liyou, "Stop teasing people, let's go."
Ji Liyou patted Ran Ran's head and said, "Go back, I was teasing you just now. I'm not angry and I'm not hurt badly. You don't have to blame yourself. I won't hate Ji Shanjing for this. You can rest assured." "
Ran Ran muttered, "I didn't do this just to respect my brother."
"Then what are you doing for?" Ji Liyou asked unintentionally as he walked a few steps away.
Ran Ran suddenly said, "I'm worried that you will be sad and think that he and I are bullying you."
Ji Liyou paused, "Aren't you bullying me?"
"I didn't think about it that way. I like you and I never thought about hurting you."
Ji Li smiled sadly, "You said you like it to me, does Ji Shanjing know?"
Ran Ran explained, "It's not like that, just... like friends."
Ji Liyou walked back to her, "I was still angry this morning, but you are so sincere, how can I still be angry?"
Ran Ran smiled, showing her waxy white teeth, "Have you really forgiven me and Brother Shanjing?"
"I only said I forgive you, but I didn't say I forgive him unless he apologized to me personally."
Ran Ran sighed, "This is a big deal. Brother Shanjing will not admit that he was wrong, even if he really did something wrong."
Ji Liyou smiled and said, "In this aspect, he is quite similar to a certain person."
"Who?" Ran Ran asked.
Ji Liyou imitated Master Ying's teaching style and said, "Children should not inquire about adults' affairs."
She nodded, "Oh, I understand."
Seeing how cute she was, Ji Liyou touched her head again.
