Chapter 427 427 First meeting, innocence and vicissitudes of life
The Ji Mansion held a grand banquet today. Although not many distinguished guests came, there were quite a few third- and fourth-level officials and wives. Several mistresses of the Marquis Mansion also came in person, which can be said to have given the Ji family plenty of face.
Today, the entire Ji Mansion is very lively, full of flowers, and full of prosperity, and the arrival of Ji Yunkai has pushed the banquet to a climax.
None of the people present felt that Ji Yunkai was of high status, so as soon as Ji Yunkai came in, all the ladies present stood up and saluted her. As for the mask on Ji Yunkai's face, none of the ladies were aware of it and did not mention it.
All the ladies are used to the mask on Ji Yunkai's face. When he attended the eldest princess's banquet and the palace banquet, Ji Yunkai always brought it with him. They would be surprised if he didn't wear the mask at this time.
"Princess Yanbei, you are here. We were just talking about how much you would lose if you didn't come to this banquet."
"Yes, yes, look, when Princess Yanbei comes, the flowers in the garden become more colorful."
…
No matter where you are, there are people who are flattering. Even if you are not flattering, you will only choose nice things to say and happy things to say on this occasion, but these words cannot be taken seriously.
Ji Yunkai knew this very well, so no matter how flattering the people around him were, Ji Yunkai was indifferent and just kept a polite smile.
After some greetings, everyone took their seats one by one. Ji Yunkai's status was the most valuable. Although she was young, she was still placed in the main seat. No one was surprised by this.
The husband is honorable and the wife is noble. When a woman marries, she is reincarnated for the second time. Marrying a husband of high status is more important than anything else.
Although the Ji family sent a message to the four major families of Feng, Qi and Xiao Wang, it was obvious that these four families would not come. As for the eldest princess, let alone that, she had not appeared in front of others since she was injured. Ji Yunkai
The arrival means that the banquet has officially begun.
"Yun Kai, your sister and brother haven't seen you as my eldest sister for a long time. They have been thinking about you. Do you think you should meet them first?" In order to push Ji Xin and Ji Ning out, and to make the banquet go smoothly, Ji
The lady did not hesitate to coax Ji Yunkai softly.
"Then let's meet." Ji Yunkai glanced at Mrs. Ji calmly and did not embarrass her.
In front of so many people, she had to hold back even if she was full of resentment, not to mention that she no longer had any resentment.
The Ji family is not important to her at all, and how the Ji family treats her is naturally not important either.
As soon as Ji Yunkai finished speaking, Ji Xin and Ji Ning walked in accompanied by their servants. The fourteen-year-old boy still looked a bit immature, but the fourteen-year-old girl was already showing her grace.
The two of them have similar postures and similar faces. They are dressed in green clothes and have an elegant and extraordinary temperament. They make the maids behind them look like Shen Aili.
Ji Ning has a red face and white teeth. She has the same exquisite appearance as Ji Xin, but she is not feminine at all. She has a bookish look and a faint smile on her face. She is reserved and gentle. You can tell at a glance that she has been raised carefully.
Ji Ning was already very good, but Ji Xin was several times better than him.
Let’s not talk about her appearance, just her temperament is enough to make people stunning and make people unable to take their eyes away.
Ji Xin hadn't even had haircuts yet, so she was still a child, but Ji Xin already showed a charm that only a girl could have, and even had a dignity and poise that ordinary girls didn't have. Ji Yunkai couldn't help but take a second look.
But when he saw Ji Yunkai, he couldn't move his eyes away. His attention was deeply attracted by Ji Xin's eyes.
What can I say about Ji Xin's eyes? They are nothing like what a girl of her age should have. The depth in their eyes is like the disillusionment and indifference that have accumulated after many vicissitudes of life. There is no sunshine and enthusiasm that a girl should have.
People find it very inconsistent.
And that's not what puzzled Ji Yunkai the most. What puzzled her the most was the way Ji Xin looked at her, as if he were looking at a monster, as if he was very surprised by her existence.
Ji Yunkai was not a person who would compromise himself to seek perfection. Seeing Ji Xin's eyes widening and looking at her blankly, Ji Yunkai was not polite and said directly: "What? You don't recognize me anymore?"
Ji Xin was stunned for a moment, as if she had been greatly frightened. She quickly lowered her head and called timidly: "Sister..."
"You seemed surprised to see me just now, can you tell me why?" Ji Yunkai asked directly without giving Ji Xin a chance to escape.
Ji Xin lowered her head and looked timid: "I was just shocked when I saw that my eldest sister seemed to be a different person."
Ji Xin and Ji Ning come back every year, but they don't stay long. They occasionally meet Ji Yunkai, but they don't have a close relationship. The authenticity of Ji Xin's words is open to question, at least Ji Yunkai is.
Don't believe it.
Ji Yunkai always felt that Ji Xin was weird, and couldn't help but ask: "Why have I changed into a different person? In Xin'er's eyes, what kind of person am I?"
"Eldest sister didn't like to talk in the past. She always liked plain colors. That's why Xin'er was shocked when she saw eldest sister." Ji Xin's voice was soft and sweet, and looking at her with her head lowered, it was like
The frightened little rabbit, Ji Yunkai once suspected that if she said something harsher, Ji Xin would definitely cry.
For the sake of his own reputation, mainly because there were so many people, Ji Yunkai didn't think he could ask anything, so he stopped asking after a few questions and asked someone to bring the gifts he had prepared in advance.
"It's been a long time since I saw Xin'er and Ning'er. This is a little thought from me as a sister." Ji Yunkai raised his hand and signaled Nuan Dong to give the gift.
Ji Xin took it, opened the gift on the spot, raised her head, and showed a gentle and peaceful smile: "Thank you, sister, Xin'er likes it very much."
With innocent eyes and shy words, Ji Xin is like a graceful girl at this time. Although there is still a bit of disobedience, it is as obvious as before. If you don't look carefully, you can't tell anything unusual, but...
Ji Yunkai kept staring at Ji Xin, not letting go of anything unusual about her.
She admitted that Ji Xin disguised herself very well. If Ji Xin's inconsistency hadn't been too obvious when they first met, and the look in her eyes was so weird, Ji Yunkai wouldn't be so sensitive.
"Thank you, big sister. Shaohuai also likes it very much." Ji Ning's nickname was Shaohuai, which was the name given to him by his teacher in advance when Ji Ning returned to Beijing.
"As long as Ning'er and Xin'er like it." Ji Yunkai knew what the occasion was today. Although he was surprised by Ji Xin's unusual behavior, he didn't say much. After giving the gift, Ji Yunkai knew it and stopped talking, so that he could
Mrs. Ji introduced Ji Xin and Ji Ning to others.
Ji Yunkai gave enough face to the Ji family today. Mrs. Ji was very surprised besides the unexpected. Her eyes couldn't help but soften a bit when she looked at Ji Yunkai. Unfortunately, Ji Yunkai didn't care about this at all.
While Mrs. Ji was introducing Ji Xin to everyone, Ji Yun began to cover up with a cup of tea, observing Ji Xin's every move without any trace... (To be continued)
