Chapter 522
"Brother Zi Qi doesn't know. Over the years, He Ning has been looking forward to seeing brother Zi Qi again one day. The days pass by, so naturally he remembers them clearly." The tips of Jian He Ning's hair on her temples also followed her words.
The non-stop dancing made the whole person look extremely cute, "After standing outside the Shangshu's Mansion for so long, brother Ziqi, don't you plan to let He Ning in?"
Jian Hening seemed to be well-behaved and sensible. When she said those words, Ji Ziqi couldn't help but blush a little. He had forgotten about Jian Hening all these years, but he didn't expect that she would still miss him.
"Come in quickly." Ji Ziqi turned sideways and raised his hand to let them in. He turned around and ordered: "A Tong, have someone help Miss Jian move the luggage in."
Jian Hening looked at Ji Ziqi with a smile, and then said: "Brother Ziqi really looks like a minister. He Ning is really happy for brother Ziqi."
Ji Ziqi smiled, and while leading her inside, he said, "It's just a matter of a famous watch. He Ning, don't tease me about it anymore."
"No way, here in He Ning, brother Zi Qi is the most powerful." Jian He Ning followed behind Ji Zi Qi and said with a smile.
Ji Ziqi smiled awkwardly. He never thought that the person coming would be Jian Hening, and asked: "The letter from home said that you came to the capital to study, right? When you were five years old, you had to read and recite poems by yourself.
Unexpectedly, after so many years, she is still working so tirelessly. Jane has given birth to a talented girl, so I think my uncle and aunt should be happy."
Jian He Ning raised her hand to cover her mouth and smiled, saying: "Brother Zi Qi, don't make fun of He Ning. He Ning has little talent and knowledge. He has only read some Four Books and Five Classics. If we talk about talent and learning, Brother Zi Qi is the most powerful. Now that we see him
, He is already the number one scholar in the imperial examination, He Ning would like to congratulate brother Ziqi here."
Ji Ziqi smiled, led her to the front hall, ordered the servants to bring tea and snacks, then sat down and said: "So, sister He Ning came to the capital for other reasons?"
Jian Hening paused and said with a smile, "I can't hide anything from brother Zi Qi."
Ji Ziqi looked at her, moved the snacks sent by the servants to her side, and asked: "Could it be that you came here in the name of study tour without telling your uncle and aunt?"
Ji Ziqi wanted to ask her if she was here to find her sweetheart, but she had no way of asking. This would still seem very abrupt to Jian Hening, who had only met her once.
Thinking that they had only met once, Ji Ziqi couldn't help but think of Concubine Shen again. No, it was Shen Shu.
Ji Ziqi recalled the way Shen Shu raised her head and asked him to call her by her best name under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree. It was extremely heartbreaking.
After arriving in Shangjing from the distant Danhong, he was now a hawk imprisoned in a golden cage, forever losing his freedom.
Back then, Danlong was so desolate that even the vast desert as far as the eye could see could not allow Shen Shu to fly freely. The small palace in Beijing was also difficult for her.
Why do you think of her again?
Ji Ziqi shook his head secretly, and then looked at Jian Hening.
The smile on Jian Hening's face never stopped. She looked at Ji Ziqi. When asked about this sentence, she shook her head and said: "He Ning is very obedient and would not do this. This is Ji's
What uncle means..."
When Ji Ziqi heard this, he felt that something was not good. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "What happened at home?"
Jian Hening looked at Ji Ziqi, who was frowning, and said with some hesitation: "Uncle Ji... said that brother Ziqi is old enough to get married... He Ning..."
Jian Hening's face turned red when she said this. She turned around and said to the maid Axiu behind her: "Axiu, take the letter written by Uncle Ji from my box and show it to Brother Ziqi."
Axiu bowed her head and curtsied: "Yes, Miss."
After saying that, he turned around to get the letter that he wanted to show to brother Ziqi.
When Axiu went to get the letter, Ji Ziqi kept looking at the door without saying anything. He put his hand on the corner of the table and held it tightly.
Jian Hening looked at him carefully, with a hint of hesitation and worry in her eyes. The handkerchief in her hand had already been tightly twisted by her fingers. Her shell-white teeth bit her lip slightly. It was a man looking at Jian Hening.
It's hard not to be tempted by his appearance.
But Ji Ziqi only wanted to read the letter and know what decisions his uncles and uncles at home had made for him, so he forced Jian Hening to come over and lied to himself that he was on a study tour? He should not have agreed if he had known this.
Jian Hening bit her lip and looked at Ji Ziqi, feeling a little uneasy in her heart. She naturally knew about this matter. She thought that Ji's uncles were worried that Ji Ziqi would not be willing to come, so they said that he was the child of an old friend of the family.
Come for a study tour and ask Ji Ziqi to help with the reception.
There was nothing wrong with it at first, but what Jian Hening said made Ji Ziqi a little scared. He was worried that something he didn't want to see would happen.
Ji Ziqi looked at the door anxiously, wondering when Axiu would bring the letter to him. When he thought of his uncles and uncles at home, he felt depressed.
After saluting, A Tong took them to the garden prepared for Jian Hening and the others. It would take some time to find A Xiu. Ji Ziqi had no intention of doing anything else at this time and only watched outside the door when A Xiu would come back.
Jian Hening looked at Ji Ziqi, feeling a little uneasy in her heart. She didn't know how to tell him. Thinking about it after not seeing him for thirteen years, the former brother Ziqi had changed after all.
Thinking of this, Jian Hening felt a little lonely, but when she thought that the elders in the family had agreed... she didn't think too much.
"Brother Ziqi." Jian Hening called him with a smile, "I'm afraid it will take some time for Axiu to come and go. Maybe if we chat, time will pass faster."
Ji Ziqi came back to his senses and looked at Jian Hening. Thinking that he seemed to have been rude just now, he nodded and apologized: "Okay, I was rude. Miss Jian came all the way here. I will take you to rest later."
Let’s go dine at Ruyilou in Shangjing City. The mandarin fish there is a famous delicacy. I heard that the chef is from the south of the Yangtze River and makes authentic Jiangnan delicacies that we can’t eat in the northwest."
Jian Hening's smile froze on her face. Ji Ziqi didn't look directly at her. After saying a word, his eyes drifted to other places. From the beginning of "Sister Hening" to now "Miss Jian"
", Jian Hening could feel the indifference in Ji Ziqi's words and actions.
Is this because of her own quality or something else? Jian Hening knew it without thinking too much. Ji Ziqi is a smart man. Even if he didn't see the letter from home, he would have known that his uncle asked Jian Hening to live with a girl.
Why did you come all the way to Beijing? In the previous letter, you said you were here for a study tour.
At first, Ji Ziqi didn't think too much. He just thought it was the child of an old friend whom he was not familiar with. Even if he said his name, it was useless. But when his uncle said such words, he knew from the beginning that Ji Ziqi would not agree, so
I lied to him in the name of study tour.
But Jian Hening seemed a little anxious. When she thought that the other person was her brother Zi Qi, whom she had been thinking about for thirteen years, she couldn't hold back the joy in her heart. She wanted to tell her brother Zi Qi about her joy.
I thought he would also be happy, but who knew, the result was still the same as Ji's uncle said.
No, as soon as he finished speaking, Ji Ziqi was busy establishing a clear relationship with himself, and his words were not as intimate as before.
Jian Hening just thought about it, and then said with a smile: "He Ning will definitely try the famous food that makes brother Ziqi praise him endlessly."
Ji Ziqi smiled politely and nodded, then lowered his head and took a sip of tea. He kept tapping his fingers on the table, wondering why Axiu didn't come over. Although he knew it, he still wanted to read the letter.
What exactly was written?
Jian He Ning paused, and then asked with a smile: "Brother Zi Qi, do you still remember that when He Ning went to Ji's house as a guest thirteen years ago, He Ning pestered Zi Qi in the Luomei Garden of the house?
What is that poem that my brother taught me?"
The memory of that little half month has been playing on a loop in Jian Hening's mind for thirteen years. During these thirteen years, she has dreamed of the scene in Luomei Garden more than once, thinking that one day she could return to that scene again.
Go in the days.
When her father told her that Uncle Ji's uncle intended to betroth her to Ji Ziqi, Jian Hening felt a little elated. She didn't know whether it was true or not until she returned to Ji's house.
, Ji's uncles personally told Jian Hening that they had intended to bring the two of them together when they were young, but they were too young and did not tell them.
When Jian Hening found out about this, she didn't sleep well for three days and three nights. She just felt that God was so lucky to her that she could betrothed to her beloved brother Zi Qi...
When she decided to come to Beijing alone to find Ji Ziqi, her parents were very worried, but Ji's uncles and uncles were very anxious about Ji Ziqi's marriage, so they also hurriedly wrote a letter to inform Ji Ziqi, but there was nothing in the letter.
Explain to him that it seemed to Jian Hening at that time that her uncles wanted to surprise Ji Ziqi.
Ji Ziqi listened to Jian Hening's words and thought about it carefully. He had a very good memory. Thirteen years ago, he was seven years old. He still remembered clearly, but now he knew Jian Hening very clearly.
He Ning wanted to get closer, so she shook her head subconsciously and said, "I can't remember clearly what happened thirteen years ago. Did I teach it? I vaguely remember that Zi Ming was present at the time, maybe it was Zi Ming who taught me.
.”
Ji Ziming is the son of his uncle. He is the same age as Ji Ziqi, and he is also one of the children in the family who has the best relationship with Ji Ziqi.
Jian He Ning smiled and said: "I guess brother Zi Qi didn't remember it, but He Ning remembered it clearly. At that time, brother Zi Qi was still holding He Ning's hand and teaching He Ning to write the poem step by step, but He Ning
You stupid person, your hand couldn't hold the penholder at that time, so you spilled ink on brother Ziqi's clothes."
Jian Hening tried her best to remind Ji Ziqi of some things from that year. She didn't believe that Ji Ziqi didn't remember. They hadn't seen her for thirteen years, but he could call her by name the first time he saw her. This made Jian Hening really not believe it.
Ji Ziqi forgot what happened so vividly in the past.
Ji Ziqi looked at her and smiled politely: "Miss Jian has a good memory. It's really troublesome for you to remember things so long ago."
"No, it's not that He Ning has a good memory, it's the matter about brother Zi Qi that He Ning doesn't dare to forget." Jian He Ning said quickly.
She didn't want to look powerful in front of Ji Ziqi. She would rather be stupid and show her admiration in front of Ji Ziqi. They haven't seen each other for thirteen years. This kind of feeling is unmatched by ordinary people. Jian Hening's
I have been missing Ji Ziqi for most of my life, but I still don’t know who my sweetheart is right in front of me.
Literary men are not good at these things, and their words are not so obvious. In Ji Ziqi's heart, obscure love and ambiguous tenderness are the taste of love.
Ji Ziqi didn't say anything. He glanced at Jian Hening and then lowered his head, looking at the tea in his hand. Unfortunately, he almost drank all the tea in the bowl...
"He Ning still remembers that poem." Jian He Ning looked at Ji Ziqi and said quickly, "It's "Red Beans" by the poet Wang Wei. Red beans grow in the south. When spring comes, there will be a few branches. I hope you will pick more.
Things miss each other the most. After returning home, He Ning also memorized poems about red beans and Wen Tingjun's "Willow Branch". She lit a lamp at the bottom of the well and played chess. The exquisite dice placed the red beans, and she missed the love in her bones..."
Jian Hening watched Ji Ziqi say these two poems, and the smile in her eyes turned into a little tenderness. She looked at Ji Ziqi and asked: "Brother Ziqi, don't you still understand He Ning's thoughts?"
Jian Hening came forward fiercely, telling all of her thirteen years of love, for fear that Ji Ziqi wouldn't be able to feel it.
But at this time, Ji Ziqi was restless. He did not dare to respond to Jian Hening's offensive, for fear of letting down his sweetheart...
At this time, Axiu came in, holding a letter in his hand, which was the letter written by Ji's uncle and uncle to Ji Ziqi.
Jian He Ning stood up, took the letter from A Xiu's hand, and said: "Brother Zi Qi, Ji's uncles and uncles all intended to marry He Ning to his brother when we were children, and He Ning also liked Zi Qi.
Brother, this is the token given to me by my uncle and uncle. He Ning came here this time just for brother Ziqi. If you don’t believe it, you can open it and take a look."
Jian Hening couldn't wait for Ji Ziqi to know what kind of relationship they would have in the future, and all the fear and fear along the way were poured out at this moment.
Ji Ziqi didn't need to read it to know what the letter said. Both of his parents died when he was young. Ji's uncles and uncles raised him. Ji Ziqi listened to them in everything they asked him to come to the capital.
Yes, they are also used to arranging everything for Ji Ziqi, but Ji Ziqi cannot agree to this matter.
Ji Ziqi took the letter, put it on the table, pressed it with his hand, and had no intention of opening it. He looked at Jian He Ning and said: "He Ning, I didn't know about this before, and neither did my uncle."
You have never told me that marriage is nothing but a trivial matter. You must not ruin your life just for the sake of childhood jokes."
