Time passed day by day, and nine days have passed since I met Haitang that day.
In these nine days, Haitang also taught Situ Jiuyue to use poisonous spiders to heal the scars on Haitang’s face, just as Situ Jiuyue said. Haitang didn't explain the hardship of the process, but when Zhao Ke, who came to report the news, he still had some unbearable expressions on his face.
It can be seen that it is really painful.
Haitang still endured it. The first seven days of poisonous spider treatment was the hardest time. During these seven days, Haitang did not scratch the wound with his hand, and it was considered safe. As long as there are no more branches in the future, it will not be long before he can return to his original appearance.
The hardships that have been eaten are not in vain but have excellent results, which is always a happy thing. In this brief joy, Miss Jiang Er welcomed the first New Year after eight years in Yanjing City.
Early in the morning, Jiang Li put on a new dress made by a tailor, with a green satin pinch on the outer skirt, and a bixia cloud-patterned smoky water skirt. She usually likes plain colors, so the colors of the clothes are not bright, but the materials are all high-quality, and the workmanship is also very pleasant. In the past six months, she has been a little longer and taller than before. She is curvy and beautiful, and she is a bright color that is rare in the city of Yanjing.
Tong'er put the sandalwood lotus silver hairpin on Jiang Li's hair bun, looked at the mirror, she was quite satisfied, and said: "It's done, let's look at it, girl."
Jiang Li looked at the girl in the mirror, still strange. But now she no longer rejects the identity of Miss Jiang Er, and seems to have accepted this fact from the bottom of her heart, and has become familiar with this new identity in the more than half a year of getting along.
She said: "Let's go, go to the night Fengtang to greet the old lady."
At the beginning of the new year, I want to greet the old lady.
In Wanfengtang, the Jiang family gathered together, and because it was New Year, everyone had a smile on their faces. Except for Jiang Youyao, Jiang Bingji was young and didn't know anything about it, but Jiang Youyao couldn't be happy anyway. She didn't understand, why did the Jiang family still laugh when her mother died? During the years in Jiang's family, Ji Shuran had no credit and hard work. The friendship that had been with him for more than ten years disappeared in one day. The Jiang family is too affectionate!
She used to blame all the problems on others, but she didn't want to think about what Ji Shuran did. Not to mention being sad for Ji Shuran, even if Ji Shuran is dead, everyone else will scream for death. Jiang Youyao showed all her unhappiness on her face, but Mrs. Jiang was even more disappointed. This granddaughter was stubborn and unsure about it or not. It seems that Ji Shuran had been taken care of by Ji Shuran many years ago. Sadly, they had not noticed it at that time. , So as to become the temperament of today.
Mrs. Jiang planned to dry Jiang Youyao for a while, so she talked to the Lu family and ignored Jiang Youyao. Jiang Yuanbai was also talking to Jiang Yuanping about the past few days. Jiang Youyao only felt that she had been isolated by the Jiang family, and she was shaking with anger.
At this moment, Jiang Li came in.
As soon as Jiang Li came in, he greeted Mrs. Jiang and his party in turn. Mrs. Jiang accepted it happily, and took the purse with silver ankles from the maid and put it in Jiang Li's hand. Lu Shi also gave her a purse. Jiang Youyao saw with sharp eyes that the pouch Lu Shi gave to Jiang Li was larger than the one she gave her.
It was a nest of snakes and rats, embarrassed and evil, Jiang Youyao thought bitterly in her heart, if Jiang Li hadn't killed her mother at the beginning, Lu would not have taken over the control of the family. Maybe Lu's colluded with Jiang Li a long time ago, just to kill Ji Shuran!
Jiang Yuanping also smiled and said a few words with Jiang Li. He is a man, and he always looks like a smile on weekdays, but he is actually a smiling tiger. But for his niece, there was some kind of love from the elders. Especially Jiang Li showed extraordinary wisdom, which made Jiang Yuanping more satisfied. Having a wise niece is more beneficial to the family than having a stupid niece, at least not to get into trouble everywhere.
Sanfang Yang also gave Jiang Li purse. Jiang Li thought that Sanfang didn't have much money, and he wouldn't give it much. But the purse was heavy and subconsciously, Jiang Li looked at Yang and was surprised to find that Yang's clothes were much more expensive than before.
The third room is the most embarrassing room in Jiang's family. Mrs. Jiang doesn't care about them. Yang's dowry is not generous, and it all depends on Jiang Yuanxing's salary. The salary is barely enough for the family. It is precisely because of this that Jiang Yu'e would please Ji Shuran's mother and daughter, hoping to get some "gifts."
But right now... Jiang Li saw Jiang Yuyan. The clothes of Jiang Yuyan were made by Mrs. Jiang. The clothes are fresh, but the gilt cloud-shaped agate hairpin on her head is not a gift from Mrs. Jiang. This hairpin is about It also costs a hundred taels of silver, which is not a small expense for Sanfang.
Seeing Jiang Li staring at herself in a daze, Jiang Yuyan asked timidly: "Second sister, what's wrong?"
"It's okay." Jiang Li laughed, "I just think the hairpin on Sister Si's head is pretty."
Yang's eyes turned, and he laughed first, "Where did A Li say? You haven't seen any good jewellery. You are afraid that Yuyan is a hairpin."
Mrs. Jiang frowned slightly, Yang's words were clearly meant for her. The daughters of the Jiang family, the daughter of the three-bedroom, dressed the most. But so what? She didn't like Jiang Yuanxing at all. If Jiang Yuanxing's mother weren't the trouble, why would she be separated from Mrs. Jiang? They have the skills in the three rooms, so they can naturally climb up, and she will never stop them. But without the ability, she wouldn't be able to support it either.
Jiang Li smiled and said: "Although the hairpin is not a perfect hairpin, but it is extremely commensurate with the fourth sister, so I was dumbfounded."
Jiang Yuyan blushed and lowered her head. Her appearance is really not outstanding among the Jiang family's daughters, but she can be regarded as pretty when she is dressed up. Jiang Li's praise made her feel at a loss.
What else does the Yang family say, Mrs. Jiang has already looked at Jiang Li and said, "Liyatou, when will Master Ye San and Shijie come over?"
Jiang Li smiled and said, "It should be soon."
"The Ye family?" Jiang Youyao's voice changed slightly, "How come they come?"
"This year, Cousin Ye and his third uncle are both celebrating the New Year in Yanjing City. My father said that since they are his own family, it is better to have a new year together." Jiang Li said in a warm voice.
Jiang Youyao sneered: "What kind of family is this!"
"Youyao!" Jiang Yuanbai said solemnly, his tone was too harsh, and Jiang Youyao stopped talking immediately. It's just that he was very unconvinced in his heart. Neither the Ye family nor the Jiang family had contacted for many years. how? Now that their mother is dead, they want to rush to build a good relationship with the Jiang family again? Even if Ji Shuran is dead, now it is the Ji family that is in-laws with the Jiang family, not the Ye family! If the Ye family can come, why can't the Ji family come
This is clearly a person taking the tea to cool!
Jiang Youyao felt a sense of sadness suddenly in her heart, and she only felt that she had become a lonely person in Jiang's family, and no one wanted to see him. The more proud Jiang Li was, the more she hated her. If she weren't in the house, once she got the chance, she would have to take revenge with Jiang Li!
Seeing her gritted teeth, Jiang Li knew what Jiang Youyao was thinking at the moment and shook her head in her heart. But this time Jiang Yuanbai asked her to invite Ye Shijie and Ye Mingyu to Jiang Mansion, and she was surprised to teach Jiang Li. For Ye Shijie, this is a good thing. With Jiang Yuanbai's help, Ye Shijie's official road will be smoother. The officialdom is no longer innocent, and only by standing at a sufficient height can you protect the people you want to protect. Ye Shijie still needs to protect the Ye family, as long as he doesn't violate his conscience and takes some shortcuts, it's okay.
Although Ye Shijie and Ye Mingyu both expressed that they were reluctant to come, Jiang Li said something badly, and finally moved them both.
As he was talking, the young man came to report that the Ye Family Master and Young Master came.
Ye Mingyu and Ye Shijie not only came by themselves, but also brought Xue Huaiyuan with them. At first sight of Xue Huaiyuan, the Jiang family was a little stunned. Ye Shijie said frankly: "Old Xue is in Ye Mansion by himself. I'm not relieved. It's better to bring him with him. Father Xue is much better now. Hey, so is Mr. Jiang. Officials, speaking of it, Mr. Xue was also a good official in the past. You can talk more, maybe Mr. Jiang can get some inspiration."
Ye Mingyu would choke on Jiang Yuanbo as soon as he saw him. Jiang Yuanbo also knew that it was absolutely impossible to reason with this person. Therefore, he just snorted and ignored him.
As for Xue Huaiyuan, come here. Furthermore, as Ye Mingyu said, he looked a lot better, and stood quietly on the side, just not talking.
Therefore, although the Jiang family lost a few people during the reunion dinner, there were also a few more people.
At the dinner table, Mrs. Jiang asked about Ye Shijie's current situation with concern. Although Ye Shijie didn't have a good impression of the Jiang family in his heart, he was better than Ye Mingyuli in the end. He also answered all Mrs. Jiang's questions, very decently. A talented young man with a boundless future and knows how to advance and retreat. The two brothers Jiang Yuanbai and Jiang Yuanping appear to be satisfied with their faces.
Jiang Li noticed that Jiang Yuyan, who hadn't raised her head for a long time, looked at Ye Shijie frequently today. Although she looked vaguely, she was caught by Jiang Li after all.
Jiang Li was thoughtful and couldn't help looking at Ye Shijie.
Ye Shijie was originally born handsome and heroic, and his age is the best age, although he is now only a member of the household, he is a real fat man. Besides, I heard that His Majesty also likes him very much, and there are still many opportunities to go up in the future.
There are so many teenagers like this that girls like. It's just... If Jiang Yuyan really liked Ye Shijie, it would be impossible. As a result, the Ye family will never have an in-law relationship with the Jiang family anymore. Having already lost a daughter in the Jiang family, it is impossible to lose another grandson. Secondly, Mrs. Jiang would not agree, Jiang Yuyan was just the daughter of a concubine. Three is also the most important point, Jiang Li did not see the slightest affection in Ye Shijie's eyes.
Ye Shijie had no intention of Jiang Yuyan, then this thing would not happen anyway.
Maybe she saw Ye Shijie's eyes too focused, and Ye Shijie felt it too. Looking up, she happened to collide with Jiang Li's eyes, and she couldn't help but be taken aback. Jiang Li smiled, lowered his head and continued to eat. But the two of them met with each other's eyes, but it fell into the eyes of others.
Jiang Yuanbai frowned slightly, Ye Mingyu was happy, but Jiang Yuyan's expression turned sad for an instant.
Jiang Youyao said: "Second Sister and Cousin Ye seem to be very close, which is really enviable. Seeing each other every three to five times, it can be seen that it is sincere and kind."
"Three girls." Mrs. Jiang said calmly, "If you feel uncomfortable, the maid can help you back."
Jiang Youyao stared at Mrs. Jiang incredulously, and that's it on weekdays. In front of outsiders, Mrs. Jiang was so merciless! She just couldn't understand Jiang Li, Jiang Yuanbai and the old lady were holding Ye Shijie like this, they didn't know, and they really thought Ye Shijie was something extraordinary. It was just a white body from a merchant background, and luckily got lucky to become a Zhima official, so it was so incredible.
She was so angry that she threw her chopsticks, and the grievances she had experienced in the past few days erupted together, saying: "You Yao is indeed uncomfortable, so I won't accompany you, go back first!" She let the maid send her back to the room with anger.
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
Jiang Yuanbai sighed and said, "My daughter is spoiled by me. Let everyone laugh."
"No laugh, it's good." Ye Mingyu smiled and said without a smile: "It's just that this pamperedness is best treated equally. Our A Li's temperament is not spoiled at first glance, and it makes people feel distressed to be sensible, so I laughed."
Jiang Yuanbai was silenced by Ye Mingyu again, but he knew that he was wrong about Jiang Li, so he didn't say anything more.
A meal is considered complete at least on the surface. In the afternoon, Mrs. Jiang continued to chat with Ye Mingyu's uncle and nephew, Lu's and Jiang Yuanbai's brothers were also accompanied. In the evening, everyone had let off the firecrackers, and it was time to go back home.
Before returning home, Ye Mingyu and Ye Shijie went to Jiangli Yard to talk for a while.
Ye Mingyu asked Jiang Li: "How do I think Mrs. Jiang and your father have treated you so much better this time? Did they do anything excessive to compensate you?"
Ye Mingyu suddenly looked at him with a big smile, but he was actually a rough but subtle person. This time, Mrs. Jiang and Yuanbo Jiang’s enthusiasm for Jiang Li was naturally noticed. He didn't know the inner story of Ye Zhenzhen's death. He simply thought that the Jiang family was guilty because of the misconduct that Jiang Li had committed to Ji Shuran's miscarriage, but he felt that he had done too much.
Just feel guilty for this, as long as you treat Jiang Li alone. But this attitude is also intriguing for their original palm jewel Jiang Youyao. Could it be that Jiang Youyao is really the illegitimate child of the Jiang family, that's why? Ye Mingyu thought of this, and said to Jiang Li, "Ali, let me ask you something, is Jiang Youyao your father's daughter?"
Jiang Li: "..."
She said helplessly, "Where did you think of it, uncle."
"Then they are doing weird things, so people can't help but think about it." Ye Mingyu muttered.
Ye Shijie also found it strange, but he didn't ask much. For this cousin, Ye Shijie knew very well that Jiang Li had her own ideas, and no one could persecute her about things she didn't want to say.
"Cousin Ye." When Ye Shijie was a god, Jiang Li suddenly called his name. Ye Shijie turned around and said, "What's the matter?"
Jiang Li hesitated for a moment, thinking about the look Jiang Yuyan looked at Ye Shijie at the dinner table before, and wondering whether to remind Ye Shijie. Unexpectedly, her coy expression fell in Ye Mingyu's eyes. Ye Mingyu was overjoyed and said, "You talk, I'll go out first." He pulled Xue Huaiyuan out.
Jiang Li and Ye Shijie were left in the yard, and Ye Shijie felt a little uncomfortable for no reason. Seeing that Ye Mingyu was gone, Jiang Li felt that there was nothing he could do without talking, so he said: "Cousin Ye, you have to beware of the fourth sister."
"Jiang Si?" Ye Shijie was taken aback, "What do you mean?"
"I think... Fourth Sister seems to like you very much." When Jiang Li said this, she was a little embarrassed, but thinking about taking precautions before it happened, she simply said it all out of her mind, "In fact, the fourth sister is pretty good on weekdays. , It’s just a little courage. But I don’t worry, the Jiang family’s three rooms are a bit weird recently. At the palace banquet before, Jiang Yu’e calculated you and me, I was always afraid of repeating the same mistakes and repeating their old tricks. Although this is a little bit of a villain It’s a gentleman's belly. But it’s not a bad thing to be careful about everything, and you don’t want to be entangled in troubles."
Jiang Li stopped talking and didn't say more, but I believe that with Ye Shijie's mind, he also understands what she means. There is Jiang Yu'e in Sanfang, although Jiang Yuyan has never done anything bad now, it is inevitable to be fooled, or to imitate Jiang Yu'e, or to be given advice by the Yang family.
For Jiang Yuyan, really wanting to climb Ye Shijie is definitely a good relationship. Not to mention that Ye Shijie has an official position now, and will be even more prosperous in the future. Even the wealth of the Ye family is enough to make people jealous. Although most people always look down on the smell of copper from the merchants, being in a merchant, worrying about food and clothing, is also a good thing that many people can't ask for.
After listening to Jiang Li's words, Ye Shijie said: "I know, I will watch out for Jiang Si."
Jiang Li nodded and heard Ye Shijie ask again: "I heard San Shu said that you have been very close to Su Guo Gong recently?"
Jiang Li was startled, Ye Shijie was too busy on weekdays, and Ye Shijie was not there every time Jiang Li went to Ye's house. The same is true for Situ Jiuyue, so there is not much time for Ye Shijie and Ji Heng to collide directly. But it doesn't mean he doesn't know.
"Duke Guo helped me." Jiang Li replied with a smile.
Ye Shijie said, "You have to be careful, Ji Heng has a deep mind. If he wants to use you to control Jiang's family, it might not be good." During the court meeting last time, Cheng Wang threatened Jiang Li, and it was Ji Heng who helped Jiang Li to break the siege. Ye Shijie still remembers that at that time, he felt strange to his heart, why Ji Heng would make an appearance for Jiang Li. Later, after hearing Ye Mingyu say it several times, Ye Shijie had a strange feeling that the relationship between Jiang Li and Ji Heng was not as simple as it seemed.
Jiang Li said, "I know."
She only said "I know", but did not say promise to listen to Ye Shijie. Be careful of Ji Heng, Ye Shijie felt an uncomfortable feeling in her heart for some reason. He disliked his feeling, and said: "In this case, I have nothing else to say. Now go back to the house with Sanshu." After a pause, he added another sentence, "If you have any trouble, You can come to Ye Mansion and talk to us. Although I do not have the position of Su Guo Gong, I will not harm you."
Jiang Li bent her eyes: "Thank you Cousin Ye."
Her smile felt a little dazzling in Ye Shijie's eyes. I don't know if it was avoiding or what, Ye Shijie immediately turned his head and stopped talking, and went out with Ye Mingyu.
The Ye family went back and took Xue Huaiyuan away. After letting go of the firecrackers, there was a little talk in Wan Fengtang for a while. Mrs. Jiang was getting older, and she was exhausted soon, and she said she would go back to sleep. There are only a few juniors left in the hall. Jiang Jingrui clamored to keep the year old, but Jiang Jingyou refused to go back to rest, and would wake up to read the book tomorrow morning. Jiang Li was not willing to keep the year old, there was really nothing to say. It's better to go back to the yard to sort out how to deal with Xiao Deyin.
After holding on for a while, Jiang Jingrui, who had previously clamored to keep his years old, also nodded straight. Jiang Li stood up and said to Lu's: "Second aunt, I also feel tired, so I won't be with me today, I want to go to rest first."
"If you don't keep it, don't keep it." Lu Shi also felt a little boring, not knowing it was because of a few fewer people or something. It was Ji Shuran who hated him before, but now he is also kind, and there is one more person to make fun, but now he can't make fun anymore.
Lu Shi smiled and said, "I'm going to rest too. Let's talk about it tomorrow morning."
In the night phoenix hall, it became empty in an instant. It was only one hour before the end of the New Year and New Year, Jiang Li and Tonger walked to Fangfeiyuan together. Tonger murmured: "I thought that when I arrived in Yanjing City, there would be a lot of excitement when returning home for the New Year. How can it be seen now that it is not as good as before?"
With so many things happening one after another these days, who can really be happy with no distraction. It can be held in the daytime, but at night, it is inevitable to be sad. They simply hid themselves in their own rooms and fell asleep. Whenever dawned, the new year would be good.
Jiang Li smiled and said: "What's the matter, aren't you still with me? Besides, what does the excitement have to do with us? At least now, I'm better dressed and warmer than in the temple. People know enough."
"Indeed," Bai Xue said with a smile: "People want to be content. When the servants are on the Zhuangzi, the excitement is lively, but the family can eat a bowl of radishes in one night, and sometimes they have to be hungry. Happy about this. You have to fill your stomach first. A family is separated but it's going well. It is better than a family starving to death together."
Jiang Li smiled, saying that it is not rough or rough. It is this truth that if people want to live, there is hope for everything.
When I returned to Fangfeiyuan, Qingfeng Mingyue was holding the red biscuits made for the maids in the kitchen. I heard that after eating one, everything is going well in the new year and no worries.
Mingyue said to Jiang Li, "Girl, the biggest one is on the table in the room. Remember to eat. After eating, everything will go well for the coming year."
Jiang Li couldn't help but laugh when she heard the maids talking and laughing outside. When she walked into the room and saw the red cake on the table, she couldn't laugh again.
The red biscuits occupies almost half of the table, and the ginger pear can't be eaten anyway. If she really eats this to get the peace and success of the coming year, then she still don't want to eat it. I'm afraid that after eating, this year will not be safe without waiting for the coming year.
She pushed the red cake aside, walked to the desk and sat down, thinking of the dessert Ji Heng had made before. I don’t know if the Guogong’s Mansion will make red cakes tonight, if it does, whether Ji Heng cooks it. If it was Ji Heng's red cake, it would be much more delicate and lovely than the one before, and it would have a much better taste. If you can eat it safely and smoothly, then one of the red cakes made by Ji Heng is also okay.
Jiang Li was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that he was thinking about it again, couldn't help but smile and shook his head. I have been staying with Ye Mingyu for a long time, and even the thoughts have become very similar. Why did you want to go here somehow? If Ji Heng knew what she was thinking about now, he wouldn't help her anymore.
Suddenly, Jiang Li's gaze caught a person who seemed to be standing behind her. She was taken aback, and immediately turned around to look. She saw Zhao Ke standing behind her, looking at herself innocently.
"Why are you here?" Jiang Li was surprised. On weekdays, when she asks Zhao Ke about something, she always blows the whistle, so Zhao Ke will not come uninvited. And when he came, he was standing outside the window and would never enter the house.
Zhao Ke said, "Duke Guo asked his subordinates to come and pick you up."
"Pick me?" Jiang Li was taken aback: "Where to go?"
"Go to the Guogong Mansion." Zhao Ke's answer was taken for granted.
"now
"now."
It's good, big night, or New Year's Eve, why suddenly let her go to the Guogong Mansion? Could it be... Jiang Li was shocked, could it be that Haitang had an accident? She immediately looked at Zhao Ke nervously: "What's the matter? Has Haitang's wounds changed? Is she okay?"
Zhao Ke looked at her inexplicably: "Girl Haitang? Girl Haitang is okay."
When Jiang Li heard this, she was greatly relieved, and then she asked in confusion: "Since there is nothing wrong, why do you want me to go to the Guogong Mansion now, but is there anything important for the Lord Guo to discuss with me?"
"Is it important?" Zhao Ke tilted his head and said, "That's right. When Miss Jiang Er went to the mansion some time ago, she promised to go to the mansion to roast venison. Today, the old general has prepared all the ingredients and crops. Okay, just waiting for Miss Jiang Er to go."
Jiang Li: "..."
She couldn't speak for a while, and then said after a moment: "Now? I want to go to the Guogong Mansion to roast venison?" Don't Ji Heng be a fool!
"What's the problem with this?" Zhao Ke's tone was as straightforward as his master's, so that people couldn't argue with him, and he even suspected that he did something wrong. Zhao Ke said: "The old general has been waiting for this for a long time, and finally gathered everything together. Everyone is very busy on weekdays. Tonight, everyone is here before they are willing to start baking."
"Everyone?" Jiang Li grasped the key in Zhao Ke's words.
"Prince Wenren, Miss Situ, Master Lu, Master Kong, Old General..." Zhao Ke said, "You've all seen it last time."
She did meet them last time, and last time they were also the same group of people who made claims and said that they had promised them to help roast venison, and now they have turned this claim into reality.
"Master Guo said that Miss Jiang Er wants to repay him, now is an opportunity." Zhao Ke said the last sentence.
Jiang Li: "...I will go."
…
It was not an easy task to escape from Jiang's Mansion without Ji Heng by the side.
Although Zhao Ke had already arranged everything, Jiang Li still felt a little uneasy when he went out from the back door. Fortunately, Ji Heng's black sedan chair had stopped outside, and Jiang Li saw that there was no one around, so he went up. After sitting up, I felt something wrong again. This is Ji Heng's sedan chair. On weekdays, I think Ji Heng sits alone. At this moment, being seated by her, I feel a little seductive inexplicably.
If this is seen by others, I am afraid that it will not be clear if it jumps to the Yellow River.
But since it's already out, you don't need to stick to it. No one knows it anyway, no one knows once tonight is over. Since Ji Heng had brought the sedan chair over, he obviously didn't care about it either.
Thinking of this, Jiang Li became calm and generous again.
It's just that... She is still a little speechless. On such a New Year's Eve, it is really shocking to be taken out of the house by a sedan chair and go to someone else's house to roast venison. Although she is not really the first assistant daughter, and she does not have the arrogance of aristocratic women, this is not unusual even for ordinary women.
Why is this? Or in other words, the people who were with Ji Heng, no matter how far away they were, Lu Ji, or the old General Ji Situ Jiuyue, were all self-willed and reckless people like Ji Heng. Whatever you want to do, you must do it. After all, things are gathered in groups and people are divided into groups. She should have understood this a long time ago.
Because Tong'er and Bai Xue were not by his side, Jiang Li could only sit on the sedan chair alone and think wildly. In the sedan chair, hot tea and snacks were prepared intimately, just like when Ji Heng was there, but the ginger pear at this moment really didn't have the intention to spend a little bit of it.
With such a puzzled mood, the sedan chair finally came to the gate of the Guogong Mansion.
Because today is New Year's Eve, most of the streets are empty. Like the tired bird coming home, on the annual reunion day, people always want to stay with their families and welcome the coming of the new year.
The same is true for Guogong Mansion, the number of red lanterns on the eaves has doubled unknowingly. When I saw it last time, there weren't that many. And because Ji Hengxi was so luxurious, the lantern was dyed red with the finest tencel silk cloth, the candlelight inside flickered, and the lantern shone with a tiny luster. There are also the tassels hanging under the lights, which are made of yellow crystal stone. In the snowy night, the row of lanterns under the gate is also gorgeous and makes people unable to stop.
Zhao Ke said: "Miss Jiang Er, please."
Jiang Li then retracted his gaze and stepped into the gate of the Guogong Mansion.
The subordinates of the Guogong Mansion are probably very strange. Unlike Jiang Mansion, Jiang Mansion's subordinates can be seen everywhere, and it seems that everyone is very polite and follows the rules. In the Guogong's mansion, the young men were busy with their own affairs, and did not bow to others when they met. However, Jiang Li guessed that this was because the master of the Guogong Mansion was General Ji Heng and Old General Ji, so the following people would only salute the two grandparents. As for others, in the eyes of this bastard, it is not worth the trouble.
The subordinate is as arrogant as the master, Jiang Li thought.
The official residence of Nuo Da, seems to be much warmer than outside, I don't know if the relationship between earth and dragon is used. It's because of the colorfulness that makes people feel spring in their eyes, and my heart warms up. Zhao Ke took Jiang Li through the front hall, across the corridor, to the backyard, stopped at the entrance of the courtyard, and said: "Here."
Jiang Li looked up.
Along the way, apart from the hanging lanterns in the Guogong's mansion, there were no lights in the room. Except for the faint lanterns, it was extremely quiet, as if everyone had fallen asleep. However, when I arrived in this yard, it seemed that I had suddenly walked into a new world, and my eyes suddenly brightened.
Only a clearing was swept out in the snow, and the clearing was filled with firewood, and the flames were burning vigorously, reflecting the snow in the entire yard red. Some sparks splashed out, like stars falling on the ground, disappearing in a blink of an eye, but the enthusiasm stayed.
The vocals are mixed in, making everything lively. In an instant, the originally gorgeous and exquisite mansion suddenly gave birth to infinite smoke. Everyone is alive in it.
Jiang Li walked a few steps forward, and saw Situ Jiuyue standing in front of the fire, frowning as if thinking about something. Only then did Jiang Li see clearly that beside the fire, there were indeed a pile of sharpened bamboo sticks. As expected, they had prepared everything they needed to prepare, just as they had said.
Jiang Li couldn't laugh or cry.
Wen Ren leaned close to Situ Jiuyue and seemed to be asking Situ Jiuyue's question. But apparently Situ September was not in high spirits. Kong Liu and the old General Ji, who was wearing a thin single-coat, were gesticulating fists, as if they were going to learn from each other. Lu Ji stood far away. He was a gentleman, and he was still quite separated from roasting venison. Stay away from the fresh venison that was put aside, as if avoiding it. Haitang is very quiet. She is now in the Guogong Mansion and has a relationship with Jiang Li. It may be because of this reason that she is also here tonight. Just sitting on the side, with a veil, I don't know what I'm thinking.
Jiang Li thought it was a little bit novel, the government office was completely different from what she had imagined. In fact, Jiang Li had already felt it when she came here last time. It is hard to imagine that Ji Heng, who is sober-minded and moody, will live in such an atmosphere. She thought that the environment Ji Heng was in was full of fighting, intrigue, and intrigue.
But it's not necessarily anymore, not all people are as they seem to be on the surface. These things in front of me are probably on the surface, she hasn't really walked in yet, after all, she doesn't really understand Ji Heng.
Just when she thought so, Zhao Ke suddenly said: "My lord is here."
Jiang Li followed Zhao Ke's gaze and looked back.
In the snowy night, his red clothes are particularly conspicuous. Jiang Li is always strange. Men in the world don't wear red clothes. They always feel that red may be a favorite color for women. Pian Ji Heng always likes to wear it, not only wearing it, but also wearing it very nicely. There is no trace of powdery air, although he was born extremely beautiful, but the beauty of love is like his gold folding fan with gorgeous peonies, no matter how beautiful, it is also a murderous weapon.
He slowly walked to Jiang Li.
Jiang Li looked at him and said with a smile: "Master Guo."
"Don't laugh if you don't want to laugh," he said, "I know you don't want to come."
Jiang Li: "... nothing."
"When talking about duplicity, no one can do it better than a woman." His beautiful eyes are like some kind of gem in the night, making people want to keep staring at them, "Although you are not a woman... but you do Yes, it’s one of the best."
"If this is considered to be a compliment from the grandpa, then I will accept it." Jiang Li said frankly, "but tonight, the grandpa actually did not invite me to come, right? I think it was General Ji’s idea, the grandpa. I couldn't help but teach Zhao Ke to bring me here?"
Ji Heng said: "Since you know, you shouldn't blame me."
"I didn't complain about Lord Guo." Jiang Li chuckled. Jiang Li knew what General Ji's temperament was. The moody Ji Heng had nothing to do in front of Old General Ji, and it was interesting to think about it.
"Don't think it's funny," Ji Heng looked at her with a smile, "You'll understand later."
Jiang Li's smile stopped abruptly. He was about to say something. Wenren looked over here and suddenly found that they had already arrived. She shouted: "Second girl Jiang, Ah Heng, why don't you say anything when you come. Come here, just wait for the two of you!"
Ji Heng's smile became sharp in an instant. Seeing Wen Renyao's gaze, Jiang Li couldn't help feeling a little cold. She couldn't help wondering, what gave Wen Renyao such courage to let him ignore any look in Ji Heng's eyes
Hey, this is probably the brilliance of their "Xianxianmen"!
Jiang Li and Ji Heng walked towards them. The bonfire was a bit more prosperous than before. They got closer, and they could hear the "cracking" sound of Mars, which looked very lively at night.
"Girl Jiang!" Old General Ji exasperatedly said: "Everything is ready for you! Don't you know how to roast venison? Come on!"
This old man had the same virtue as Ji Heng, as if others were born to listen to what he said. Perhaps this is a common problem of generals? To give orders, all you need to do is to obey. Jiang Li's appointment came over, and first glanced at the venison. The deer should have been hunted fresh. The fur has been shed quickly, but it was not divided carefully, and a large piece was placed in a silver basin.
Jiang Li asked: "Is this a new hunter?"
"Of course." General Ji looked up triumphantly: "The old man hunted it himself, and it took an hour to find this one!"
Jiang Li: "... The old general is really old and strong."
There are venison, bamboo skewers, and seasonings. Even the old general Yu Ji actually found a bunch of birds. I don't know where they found them. He asked Jiang Li to call them flowers and birds. Of course, so many people shouldn't just eat roast venison. Bamboo mats have already been spread in the snow. There is also a floor mat under the bamboo mat, and a warm fur on the top of the bamboo mat.
On the bamboo mat, there is a long table. The table is already full
