At this time, Jian Hening had said so. It was difficult for Ji Ziqi to pretend not to know, but he knew clearly that the person he wanted to marry was not Jian Hening, and it would not be Jian Hening. She would not be her at all.

Your favorite type.

The person who has always been in his heart, who has occupied his heart since the first meeting, the person who can never be with him but who can make his heart miss him, will never be Jian Hening.

There are still servants waiting in the front hall. Ji Ziqi doesn't want to embarrass Jian Hening in front of everyone, but for the sake of her words, if Ji Ziqi doesn't answer directly, I'm afraid it will be her fault in the past thirteen years.

Self-perception will continue to be erroneous.

Ji Ziqi sighed, looked at everyone in the front hall, and said, "You guys should go out and wait. I have something to say to Miss Jian in private."

Those servants had long wanted to run away. This was the first time they saw someone speaking to an adult like this. Although Lord Ji was gentle and polite, he still had a temper. It was obvious that anyone with a discerning eye could see at this time that Lord Ji had

Some are impatient.

Hearing what Ji Ziqi said, the servants quickly retreated. Axiu looked at Miss Jian at home, saw her nodded, and then retreated.

When the servants all left, only Ji Ziqi and Jian Hening were left in the front hall. Jian Hening thought Ji Ziqi had something to say to her, but after waiting for a long time, she didn't hear him speak, so she asked

: "Brother Ziqi, what do you want to say to He Ning?"

He had to say something to make everyone retreat.

Ji Ziqi knew that he didn't like Jian Hening. At least for Jian Hening, whom he had only met twice in his life, he had no concept of love between men and women. He always regarded Jian Hening as...

She is a younger sister, not to mention that they had only met once before. Thirteen years have passed, how could Ji Ziqi have such thoughts?

Furthermore, Ji Ziqi knew very clearly in his heart that he did not have such feelings for Jian Hening, and that there was actually someone else in his heart. As for who that person was, Ji Ziqi knew it in his heart, but he really did not dare to think about it.

That person has a noble and holy image in Ji Ziqi's heart. If he thinks about it more, he will tarnish her.

Jian Hening looked at Ji Ziqi anxiously. She was not the kind of person who could hide things in her heart. Before coming to the capital to find Ji Ziqi, whether it was her father, mother, uncles, uncles and brothers of the Ji family who were familiar with Ji Ziqi,

, they all told her not to be too impatient, thinking that Ji Ziqi still needs some time to accept and digest all this.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Ji Ziqi doesn't like Jian Hening, and even the engagement thirteen years ago cannot change this fact.

Ji's uncles and uncles all knew that they were worried that Ji Ziqi would reject Jian Hening, but they had an appointment, so they couldn't refuse directly. Seeing Jian Hening's infatuation, they gave in to her.

Even if she was asked to come to the capital, find Ji Ziqi, and write a letter to trick Ji Ziqi into asking him to receive Jian He Ning, the original intention was to cultivate the relationship between the two of them, but no matter who it was, they knew in their hearts that

Ji Ziqi will not accept this engagement. It is difficult for them to refuse, so let Ji Ziqi refuse Jian Hening himself.

Ji Ziqi sat in his seat with the letter under his hand. Now was the time when he was upset. He thought he was free and no one in the family would often force him to do things. But now when it comes to this issue, he

A childhood engagement popped up?

This was really unacceptable to Ji Ziqi. He looked at the letter under his command and was really unwilling to open it and read it. However, this was a problem and he really could not escape it.

Jian Hening had been looking at Ji Ziqi, her eyes that had been smiling crookedly looked at Ji Ziqi pitifully, her eyes shining brightly.

She wears a plain brocade robe that is a bit too simple. Dark brown silk threads are embroidered on the fabric with ingenious and powerful branches. Blooming plum blossoms extend from the hem of the skirt to the waist. A dark purple brocade belt is tightly tied.

At the waist, she looks tall and elegant. She wears a light purple open gauze dress with exquisite vine embroidery patterns. Every move makes the gauze dress have a sense of flowing waves. An emerald jade pendant tied around the waist adds to the look.

She has an air of elegance. Her surprisingly long hair is smeared with some rose essence, and tied with purple and white ribbons to create a slightly complicated hairstyle. An emerald hairpin is inserted into the hair, which is unique.

The appearance of the green bamboo with leaves really makes people think that she has a green bamboo on her head. She really lives up to this amazingly beautiful hair. The willow-leaf eyebrows are drawn with charcoal black, which highlights the fair and delicate skin and the charming red phoenix eyes.

Her brilliance was revealed as her eyes rolled around. She applied pink rouge to make her skin look fair and rosy. She only applied light red lipstick on her lips. The light outfit was casual but deliberately designed to look charming.

Pure and beautiful.

Goose yellow cloud blouse embroidered with elegant orchids, meandering floor-length skirt with ancient patterns of double butterflies and clouds, and hand-held Bixialuo peony mist gauze. The cloud bun is embroidered with elegant orchids, and a hollow gold walking wave is inserted diagonally, and the face is as charming as the moon.

, her eyes are full of hope and sultry, her shoulders are shaved, her waist is plain, her eyebrows are like green feathers, and her muscles are like white snow. Her black hair is wrapped around her waist with a light blue ribbon, and she sways slightly as she walks, looking delicate and delicate.

The feeling is fully displayed. She is dressed in a plain brocade palace robe covered with light blue gauze. The breeze blows and the gauze is flying, and the whole person exudes a light aura.

What Jian He Ning has is her crystal clear beauty, coupled with her young age and peach blossom eyes, everyone she looks at looks pitiful, which makes it hard not to feel bad for her.

Jian Hening was well-kept at home and kept her fingers clean. She had been reading and practicing calligraphy since she was a child. She was proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She had a natural appearance like glass. When she was sixteen years old, someone came to propose marriage, but she was not alone.

I don't like them all, I only have eyes for my childhood brother Ziqi.

Even though she had never been to Ji's house since she was five years old, she was always thinking about her brother Ziqi.

It was finally time to grow up. When talking about the age of marriage, the first thing Jian Hening thought of was Ji Ziqi, and her father and mother also told her that she had been engaged to Ji Ziqi when she was a child.

This time, Jian Hening was really happy, and she hurriedly came to see Ji Ziqi.

I originally thought that brother Ziqi would be very happy to see me, but I didn't expect that things would turn out like this.

Jian Hening sat on the side aggrievedly, knowing that Ji Ziqi was thinking about something at this time, so she stopped asking him and just waited quietly aside, looking at Ji Ziqi aggrievedly from time to time.

Jian Hening, who had never encountered any setbacks in her life, was the eldest lady who had everything she wanted since she was a child. Now she was rejected by her brother Zi Qi, whom she longed for, and felt very uncomfortable.

Jian Hening would not hold back or hide her emotions. At this time, she curled up her lips and burst into tears.

Ji Ziqi was thinking about how to reject Jian Hening's kindness. After all, it was true that there was an engagement, but there was indeed someone else in his heart. Even if he could never be with that person, Ji Ziqi's heart just wanted to still be with him.

Once there is that person, he will not accept anyone.

Just as she was thinking about it, she heard Jian He sobbing softly at the side. When Ji Ziqi looked over, she hurriedly turned away to prevent Ji Ziqi from looking at her.

Ji Ziqi's heart felt as dark as the sky was falling. His heart softened, knowing that his tough attitude would embarrass the family of a girl named Jian Hening. He stepped forward and whispered softly: "Sister Hening,

I advise you to think about this matter and not be so reckless. This is a lifelong event, not a trivial matter, and you still need to think carefully about it."

Jian He Ning lowered her head and sobbed, picked up a handkerchief to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, she turned around and looked at Ji Zi Qi with tearful eyes, and asked: "Is it possible that there is someone else in brother Zi Qi's heart? That's why he rejected He Ning like this.

Do you really hate He Ning?"

Ji Ziqi shook his head in embarrassment. He could talk non-stop for three days and three nights when facing Confucian scholars, but when faced with Jian Hening's questioning, he was in a "dilemma". He still had to come up with a "two-pronged solution".

That’s all right!

He knew very well that for Jian Hening, he would only have a brother-sister relationship and some childhood affection for Jian Hening. If he really wanted to get married together, he would rather keep the ancient Buddha with the green lantern by his side, but also keep the feelings in his heart

That steadfastness.

"He Ning, I don't hate you..." Ji Ziqi faced the crying Jian He Ning and still didn't know how to speak.

No wonder the ancient sages said that only women and villains are difficult to raise.

"There is someone in my heart over there!" Before Ji Ziqi could finish speaking, Jian Hening hurriedly said, "Are you in Shangjing City? Which official lady in Shangjing City is there? Back then, Brother Ziqi saw all the flowers in Shangjing City.

The time was so beautiful, there must have been countless women who loved Ziqi's brother, right?"

"I..." Ji Ziqi was speechless and didn't know why he had to explain so much to Jian Hening.

"But how did they know that Master Ji was engaged?" Jian He Ning's eyes were red and full of tears, and she said: "Brother Zi Qi, He Ning has been waiting for you for thirteen years, do you want to let He Ning down like this?"

"He Ning!" Ji Ziqi couldn't bear it anymore, "I think you have misunderstood. I didn't know about the so-called engagement at all. I treated you well when I was a child just because you were a guest. Now if you think about the engagement, you will force me to do so."

If I get married, neither you nor I will be happy!"

Jian He Ning was frightened by Ji Zi Qi like this. She stopped being hysterical and only said calmly: "He Ning... He Ning didn't know about the engagement when she was a child. She only met Zi Qi's brother once in Ji's house, and that's all in her life.

Unforgettable, I was lucky enough to learn that He Ning and brother Zi Qi had an engagement when they were children, and I was overjoyed... When I came here, I said I wanted to talk to brother Zi Qi about it. Now that I have been rejected, how about letting He Ning go back?

Be a human being..."

Just as she was talking, Jian Hening felt that she was extremely wronged, and she lowered her head to cry again. While wiping her tears, she lowered her head and looked at Ji Ziqi from time to time.

Ji Ziqi looked at her like this. Both the left and right families were related by aristocratic families. They had good relations at home, so he couldn't refute other people's reputation at will. He could only say softly: "You have come all the way to Beijing, so don't think about it first."

Too many, this kind of thing cannot be forced. My parents died when I was young, and my uncles and uncles in the family raised me. Although I have to be respectful, I don’t have to obey them in everything. If I knew that we would not be happy when we got married, I would still have to marry.

It would be really irresponsible for you to get married. If you are worried about the uncles and uncles in the clan and the elders in your family scolding and gossiping, I will definitely explain to them after I go back, and it will definitely not affect you.

It’s not easy to come to Shangjing. The journey is hard. I have also prepared a courtyard in my house for you to live in. If you don’t mind it during this period, you can stay in Shangjing first. It hasn’t been long since I came to Shangjing and I have been busy with official duties.

Have a good time, and when the time comes, find some free time and ask an acquaintance to accompany you to go out for fun. Just come here to relieve your boredom. Don't think too much."

Ji Ziqi finished these words in a soft voice, allowing Jian Hening to have steps to go down.

Jian Hening is not stupid. She naturally knows that Ji Ziqi has no such intention, so she doesn't force it. In short, she can still live in Shangshu Mansion and spend some time with Ji Ziqi. Don't be in a hurry and just take your time.

After listening to Ji Ziqi's words, Jian Hening also figured it out, wiped her tears, looked up at Ji Ziqi, and said, "It was He Ning who was rude just now. Please don't blame Brother Ziqi."

Ji Zi Keiya smiled politely and said, "Of course I don't."

"Brother Ziqi, let's talk about this later..." Jian Hening said cautiously, "Brother Ziqi is not angry, will you take He Ning to the Ruyi Building you mentioned to try the famous food?"

Jian Hening is the best at catching a man's mind. She tries her best to show a cute look in front of Ji Ziqi that makes me pity her. Her soft and cute witticisms coupled with her charming expression make people unable to refuse even if they want to.

Ji Ziqi said with a smile: "I have asked A Tong to reserve a seat in Ruyi Building. You can go after you freshen up."

Jian He burst into tears and smiled, and said sheepishly: "That's right. It's been a dusty journey all the way. I'm really embarrassed to say such a few words to Brother Ziqi before I even had time to wash up."

Ji Ziqi smiled and said, "You go first, I'll wait for you."

"Then He Ning will go. Brother Zi Qi will wait for a moment." Jian He Ning stood up obediently, said goodbye and left.

Ji Ziqi looked at her back as she left the house, and then looked at the letter in her hand. She really didn't want to open it, so she folded it in half, called A Tong, and gave him the letter: "Put this in the box in the study.

"

A Tong looked at it, then took the box with both hands, turned around and went to the study.

＊

Jian Hening and Axiu returned to the garden prepared by Ji Ziqi for them. As soon as the door was closed, Jian Hening seemed to be a different person.

Axiu brought hot water, twisted a towel and handed it to Jian Hening, saying, "Miss, you were too hasty."

Jian Hening took the towel and wiped her neck gently while looking at herself in the mirror. At this time, her smiling expression completely disappeared. After listening to Axiu's words, she said impatiently: "What should we do?
