This is a place Ji Jiaqian has always liked. She eats delicately. She has always been haunted by dignitaries.
She put on a gauze hat and was supported by hongluan into the carriage, her heart jumping.
The tassel is winked by Ji Jiaqian. Instead of following the carriage, she turns around to buy her favorite snack.
At Fulai restaurant, Ji Jiaqian sends hongluan to Zhiwei restaurant to buy a box of yunpiangao.
Fulai restaurant in the west, Zhiwei building in the East, back and forth for a full hour.
When the tassel came, hongluan left step by step.
Ji Jiaqian picked the usual private room. On the top floor, she would not be disturbed when she served.
Tassels in the outside to raise the curtain, a man wearing a black hat stepped in from the outside, did not say first smile: "how so eager to call me, my sister-in-law did not miss me?"
Head down, tassels quietly cover the door, guard the door vigilantly.
Ji Jiaqian took Ji Keran's gauze cap, took his arm and worried: "I didn't expect that the reputation of Er wench was spoiled by the Lin family. If you accept her, wouldn't you be implicated?"
"I thought it was a big change. It turned out it was just a trivial matter. My aunt scared me a lot." Ji Ke ran patted the back of her hand and said with a smile: "if I don't take people back to Hou's house, if I don't pay attention to my family, I will be more passive."
He always believed that everything was in his hands, so that nothing could go wrong.
Gu Yunyan is a big trouble. It's a disaster to stay outside. It's better to stare under her own eyes.
The Marquis's house is like an iron bucket. It's hard to get the news out. If Gu Yunyan wants to make any trouble, she has to weigh it over.
Seeing that he had an idea in his heart and was not caught off guard, Ji Jiaqian was a little relieved: "I'm not worried about ran Lang, so I rushed here? I wish you had a sense of propriety in your heart, and I don't have to mind my own business. "
"What did you say? I thought you were still angry and would not talk to me any more." Ji Keran took her shoulder and gave her a gentle smile.
, as like as two peas, he was not a 28 year old girl. Somehow, he saw how almost all Ji Ji ran looked like his father.
Ji Keran did not look like the eldest lady at all. On the contrary, he was his dead father. If not, how could Ji Jiaqian be easily taken away by him?
"Don't worry, I'll take care of it. What's Mr. Gu's attitude? He has agreed to it? " Ji Keran helped her to sit down at the table, and personally brought Ji Jiaqian a chopstick of her favorite dishes.
Ji Jiaqian smiles and nods: "the master has no other choice. There are so many masters in charge of the family."
If not, how could master Gu easily compromise and let Gu Yunyan really be a little concubine?
She frowned again: "when such an unruly girl entered the Marquis's house, she had to annoy her mother and scold ran Lang for a few words. I'm afraid the Marquis is also unhappy. Has ranlang figured out how to persuade the elder
Ji Keran nodded slightly: "since I have promised, I can't go back. Otherwise, if it's spread out, it will only say that I'm back. If you just bring people in, everyone will think that I'm broad-minded and have some true feelings for the two girls who care for the family. "
This is the way of the world. Everyone spits at Gu Yunyan, but does not accuse Lin Yushi and Yan Zhengnan of how unruly it is to secretly associate with Gu Yunyan. At most, when they laugh, they make fun of each other. They say they are just romantic, but they are fooled by a girl.
Similarly, Gu Yunyan was despised, but Ji Keran agreed to go back on his words, for fear that many people would turn around and accuse him of being a heartbreaker.
Anyway, Houfu doesn't mind having more chopsticks. It doesn't matter to have one more Gu Yunyan.
At that time, everyone will only say that Ji Keran is sincere to Gu Yunyan. In order to bring people in, not willing to let her suffer, but also the appearance of the ordinary three girls also marry over, it is clear that do not want to Gu Yunyan suffer a little injustice.
I don't know that Ji Keran's goal has never been Gu Yunyan, but Gu Yunkuai!
What's wrong with getting what you want and having a good reputation?
Ji Keran's mouth curved slightly and poured wine for Ji Jiaqian. She waved her hand and said politely, "I'll have to go back to my house later, so I won't get drunk in the daytime."
"I'm more and more careful, but just one or two cups of osmanthus wine. Even if Mr. Gu smelled it, how dare you say I'm not?"
Seeing that he was not happy, Ji Jiaqian hesitated for a moment. She didn't dare to spoil Ji Keran's interest. She lowered her head and sipped the sweet scented osmanthus wine. She only felt warm in her stomach. The whole person was in a trance: "good wine, it's 30 years of wine."
"I've been really good for 30 years. If not for a big price, the shopkeeper would not give up. This was meant to be poured for his daughter when she got married. Who knows that the eldest daughter drank half of it when she got married, and the younger daughter died before she grew up. The rest of the sweet scented osmanthus wine is still buried in the backyard, and only a small bottle is taken out when you meet a distinguished guest occasionally. " Ji Keran narrowed his eyes, smelled the wine, and looked intoxicated."Such a good thing needs to be drunk by people who appreciate it, so as not to waste 30 years."
Ji Jiaqian was so happy that she drank half a pot again and again. Then she felt dizzy. She stood up and felt that the sky was spinning around and Ji Keran held her tightly in her arms.
"My sister-in-law is drunk, and my beauty is drunk. I can't see enough of her."
Hearing the speech, Ji Jiaqian said with a bitter smile: "Xu Niang is half old, and her beauty is no longer beautiful. I'm afraid that in two years' time, I won't be able to see in ran Lang's eyes. "
The beauty of a woman is only ten years. It's gone. No matter how you dress up, it's impossible to find back the amazing time of that year.
Ji Keran helped her to lie down on the soft couch and said with a smile, "my sister-in-law is my sister-in-law. No matter what happens, I'm white haired. I'm also happy."
Ji Jiaqian was happy and soft. She didn't know whether she was so happy or drunk that she was like lying on cotton. She couldn't find a solid place.
She closed her eyes and soon fell asleep. Ji Keran sat in front of the couch, waiting for Ji Jiaqian to fall asleep. She raised her hand, opened her skirt with her fingertips, and landed on the gold lock hanging on Ji Jiaqian's chest.
The golden lock is half a slap big and heavy. It is said that Mrs. Hou liked her daughter and was beaten before she was born. It took a full month to complete it.
The golden lock is carved with large auspicious clouds and small Sanskrit. These are the words of blessing. Ji Keran remembered them at the first sight. He turned back and wrote them on the paper. They were divided into four parts and secretly asked the eminent monks to come.
But he sent people to ask all the craftsmen in Beijing, and no one knew what Sanskrit was.
This is strange. Where on earth did Mrs. Hou invite craftsmen to carve such Sanskrit gold locks?
In particular, Ji Jiaqian once mentioned that Mrs. Hou asked her to hide the gold lock, so she could not be easily seen. This aroused Ji Keran's curiosity more and more. What kind of secret on the gold lock was Mrs. Hou so secretive?
It was the closeness between them that made Ji Keran see it by accident. But Ji Jiaqian won't let him touch it. Now that people are so drunk, Ji Keran can finally pick up the golden lock and look at it carefully.
He took a little bit of white mud from his waist and stuffed it into the lock hole.
The gold lock is not like an ordinary one. It's two fingers thick. You can't tell what's hidden in it.
After the white mud was filled, Ji Keran took out the porcelain bottle and poured a few drops of liquid medicine into it.
In the twinkling of an eye, the white mud solidified like ice, just like a lock.
He laughed. The key made of white mud turned and the lock opened with a click.
There was something hidden in the lock, only to disappoint Ji Keran. It's an ordinary wooden card, not much bigger than a bead. There are a few words on it, but it's Sanskrit.
Ji Keran looked at it, but did not recognize it.
It was just the faint fragrance that surprised him. It was not a kind of incense that ordinary people could afford. It seemed that he had smelled it somewhere. Ji Keran couldn't remember it for a moment.
Just pondering, the voice of tassels comes from outside, she seems to send hongluan back from outside to the kitchen to help get things.
Kirran knew that he had to leave at once.
Reluctantly, he looked at the small wooden card in his hand. He gritted his teeth and put it in his arms to fasten the lock again. The debris of the white mud was cleaned up and checked again. There was no trace left. Then he got up and went to the corner of the room. He turned the vase on the wooden frame. The wooden frame moved to the left quietly. Ji Keran flashed in.
After he went in, the wooden frame returned to its original state again, as if it had never moved.
Hongluan came back with a snack, but the tassel sent her to the kitchen to bring some small dishes.
This should be a restaurant boy's business. How can she go?
It's a pity that by Ji Jiaqian's side, although both Liusu and hongluan are first-class servant girls, Liusu has been around Ji Jiaqian for the longest time and is favored. Hongluan dares not listen to her.
As soon as hongluan leaves, tassel knocks on the door twice, but there is no response.
She then gently opened the door and peeped in. See gauze inside only Ji Jiaqian seems to be drunk, drunk but slant on the couch. The other one is missing.
Liusu understands that there is a secret road hidden in this restaurant, but where, except Ji Jiaqian, only Ji Keran knows.
Now that Ji Keran has gone, she can be relieved. At least she won't let Hong Luan see the clue.
Hongluan came back soon and put the snacks and vegetables on the table. When she saw Ji Jiaqian asleep, she even breathed a little less.
She suddenly "Yi" a, low voice ask tassel way: "elder sister, madam's gold lock how come outside?"
As soon as she saw the tassel, she felt a thump in her heart, but she said as if nothing had happened: "it may be very hot. My wife pulled her collar and accidentally revealed the gold lock."
She sideways to block the sight of hongluan, and goes forward to put the gold lock on Ji Jiaqian's chest back into the profane clothes.
