[Red Mansion] Princess Ji

Glancing at herself in the bronze mirror, Daiyu blinked, a little unbelievable that she looked like this. She didn't expect that she would look like this in Liangzhou local clothes.

The sister next to her looked at her with joy in her eyes, as enthusiastic as looking at her own family.

"I didn't expect Madam to wear it like this. At the first glance just now, Madam is not very old, and I thought she was sneaking out to play before she got married." Staring at Daiyu, Alji smiled and said: "If your husband sees it, I'm afraid I feel like I don't look like a person, I didn't expect that the girl is really different from ordinary people."

"...My sister was joking, they are all alone, there is nothing different, please help me." Daiyu stood up, stretched out her hand and put the braids in front of her, "Did he prepare this clothes earlier? "

"The night before yesterday, someone came to the door and asked if he could change his clothes. After giving him a measure, he left, saying that he would come today, and he changed the clothes last night."

Daiyu was startled, then nodded.

That's the way it is, how can clothes be made so quickly? They only arrived in Liangzhou for half a month. No matter how talented Ji Yuanlan is, it's impossible for someone to prepare the clothes in advance, but it's okay to change them. It fits so well, it can be seen that this store is also a dexterous person.

Thinking of this, Daiyu's smile deepened, "Thank you sister-in-law for helping to change the clothes. My husband is a casual person, and he thinks about it as soon as he thinks about it. Thanks to his dexterity, sister-in-law can change it so quickly, otherwise wouldn't it be Make it difficult for you."

"Ma'am, you are being polite. Don't you have to be careful about business transactions?"

Daiyu smiled lightly when she heard this, nodded, and walked out while talking to Alji.

As soon as she stretched out her hand to lift the curtain, she saw Ji Yuanlan standing outside with her back facing, talking to Alji's husband, Tag. When she heard the sound and turned her head, Daiyu saw the flash of surprise in Ji Yuanlan's eyes, and felt a little bit in her heart. Bottom.

In this way, at least this body is not ugly.

"You are much faster than me."

"Men's clothes are much simpler than girls' clothes." Ji Yuanlan stepped forward, naturally stretched out his hand to hold Daiyu, and straightened her hair at the sideburns, "Looking at it like this, it really looks like a local .”

"The girl here looks stronger than me, and her stature is also taller." Daiyu was originally tall and slender, but it was only when she arrived in the North that she realized that her stature was nothing more than an ordinary person's. Not to mention thin and thin, she doesn't even stand out in stature, but fortunately, she is not considered petite.

Hearing this, Ji Yuanlan laughed and said, "If you compare your stature with the girls from the Northland, wouldn't that mean that the scholars from the Southern Province will compare their drinking capacity with the big men here?"

"That's what you would say."

Daiyu said angrily, looked at Alji and Tag, tugged at Ji Yuanlan's sleeves, and asked Ji Yuanlan to thank him first, after all, he couldn't waste so long at Ren's place, but Ren still has to open the door to do business .

"Brother Tag, I would like to thank you all this time. I am worried that I will not be able to catch up with the work because I have changed the clothes to fit me well. Fortunately, I am looking for you. I might not be able to finish it if I change it to another house." Ji Yuanlan originally gave money for the craftsmanship. , Right now, there is no need to give silver taels, "Next time, I will ask you to make all the clothes in my house."

This opening is a big deal. Why can’t Tag and Algee see that these two people are of good status? People from Liangzhou, if you think about the news that has spread all over Liangzhou City recently, you can roughly guess what it is about.

Tag quickly said: "If Madam and Young Master need it, the store will take care of it carefully and keep it satisfactory."

"That's a deal, I'll come back next time." Ji Yuanlan smiled and said, "The bonfire at Yinyue Lake is probably going to be lit now, and my wife and I are still rushing to join in the fun, so we won't disturb your business."

"Then hurry up, otherwise there will be a lot of people around, I'm afraid I won't be able to see you."

"Thank you for the reminder, here we go."

Daiyu nodded towards Alji, and left the shop with Ji Yuanlan.

When I walked outside, the sun that was showing its full view just now had disappeared, leaving only a crimson sunset glow, which was gradually swallowed by the night.

Daiyu said softly, "Alji ​​still looks very young."

"It's not young anymore. I heard that my son has already engaged in a marriage."

"what?"

A man has to wait at least eighteen months to get married. Counting Algie's ten months of pregnancy, wouldn't it be... also close to forty, but just looking at it, it is clear that he is only in his early thirties. Look at his demeanor and divinity The clothes are still very young, and they don't look like people who are nearly forty.

Daiyu looked at Ji Yuanlan, saw his knowing face, curled her lips, stretched out her hand and tugged at his sleeve, and said coquettishly: "You have to know, tell me quickly, if I don't know, I will always Thinking about it, thinking about it and thinking about it may forget other things, and after a while... Maybe even you are forgotten. "

"You can act like a baby."

"Then you say it or not?"

"Alji ​​is an active person. She is doing things with her hands, and she doesn't have to take care of the children wholeheartedly. With Tag to help her share the burden, she has time to tidy herself up, and she doesn't have to give in for the children. Naturally, she is more worried than ordinary people. She is young." Ji Yuanlan led Daiyu to Yinyue Lake, "If Brother Tag doesn't help her take care of the child, and only cares about the business in the store, I'm afraid Alji will be the same as those people who have to worry about everything on the street. generally."

Daiyu pondered for a moment, then nodded seriously.

If you have to worry about everything, then you will get tuberculosis, especially worrying things, people are born with different grades, princes and nobles live a life of rich clothes and fine food, all of them are born white and tender and blessed, those who are born with insufficient food , People with scantily-clothed clothes, pale and emaciated, how can they not worry about it, if they don't worry about it, they may not even be able to fill their stomachs.

Daiyu thought about it for a while, then nodded again, "You really thought carefully when you said you didn't want a child."

If there is a child, Daiyu must want to raise it herself. No matter how much the nanny and nuns take care of them, she cannot leave them to take care of them at night, but she must not be able to take care of her alone. I can't sleep well every day, and if it doesn't take a month, I'm afraid I will fall ill in half a month.

When she was in Jia's mansion, Daiyu also saw that Sister Feng gave birth to Sister Qiao, and she couldn't take care of her under the care of so many maids and mothers-in-law. During that time, she was really haggard.

"Do you believe me now?"

"I didn't believe you before, but if you don't say it's because of this, how can I guess your thoughts, but I know that you are worried that if my body is not well maintained, I may be delayed."

Ji Yuanlan nodded, and while speaking, the two of them could already hear the movement from Yinyue Lake. Daiyu and Ji Yuanlan looked up, and they saw a group of people gathered there.

However, there are not three layers inside and three layers outside as Tag said, and I think it hasn't started yet.

Looking down at the clothes on her body, and then looking at what Ji Yuanlan was wearing, the corners of Daiyu's mouth slightly curled up, and she couldn't help scratching the palm of Ji Yuanlan's hand with her little finger.

"When did you choose this outfit? I thought—"

"I've seen it a long time ago. However, after this change, no one can tell that we are husband and wife at a glance. I'm worried that there will be too many people at the bonfire. You are too outstanding, so don't let people misunderstand you."

"You said it again, I'm holding—"

It was only halfway through that Daiyu realized that she had untied her hair, but just tied a braid casually, so it didn't look like they were married.

He couldn't help chuckling and said, "You're worried about that too."

"How can you not worry." Ji Yuanlan said helplessly: "Fortunately, I am a good-looking talent, even if someone wants to get close, they have to see if they can be better than me."

"You are confident."

Daiyu looked at Ji Yuanlan with a smile, and the smile on her face was even bigger, "Thick-skinned."

"How can I live in Jia's mansion for so many days without being thick-skinned? I only lived for more than two months because of my thick-skinned." Ji Yuanlan suddenly held Daiyu's hand tightly, and walked quickly to the crowd, "Don't talk about this , let's go in quickly, or we won't be able to see anything later."

It's interesting to be around the campfire, what's the point of being outside when everything is blocked.

"Slow down!"

Daiyu was almost dragged by Ji Yuanlan, and Ji Yuanlan strode forward, she could only follow the fast pace, even the wind blowing over her face became stronger, and she almost started to trot.

An inexplicable excitement arose in her heart, sweat dripped from the tip of her nose, and she raised her eyes to stare at Ji Yuanlan's back, Daiyu couldn't help but clenched Ji Yuanlan's hand.

It turned out to be such a feeling, a little crazy.

Squeezing into the middle of the crowd, Daiyu glanced at the people around her, her eyes rolled around, and she leaned into Ji Yuanlan's ear and asked in a low voice, "Why did you all get quiet all of a sudden?"

"You will know later, it should be preparing."

"Prepare?"

"Although the bonfire meeting is for everyone to have fun together, there are people who organize it. Otherwise, who will come out with these beef and mutton? Just wait and see, let's join in the fun." Ji Yuanlan whispered in Daiyu's ear Said: "If you are dragged out to dance in a while, you can't refuse, but there are many people together, just follow along."

What?Will it still be pulled out?

Daiyu's eyes widened in surprise, and she pinched the corner of her clothes involuntarily.

It's okay to join in the fun, but dancing is still in front of so many people, then she really can't do it, even if you have the courage, don't pay attention to yourself.

Daiyu was thinking silently in her heart, but she didn't know that Ji Yuanlan beside her was staring at her with a doting smile on her face.

The two stood in the crowd, even though they had changed their clothes, they were still very eye-catching.

"The two new friends over there, how about joining our group dance for a while? Everyone, look at our new friends." Someone standing on the campfire suddenly shouted loudly, "Our Liangzhou is the last Loved entertaining newcomers."

Ji Yuanlan was startled, and also a little unexpected, he touched the tip of his nose in embarrassment, feeling that this matter seemed a bit beyond his expectation—group dance?He will not.

Daiyu beside her froze, lowered her head and was unwilling to raise her head, but the girl next to her had already stretched out her hand and pushed her, so she had no choice but to raise her head, so she smiled and shook her head.

"I really don't know how to dance, why don't my sister go, I can't afford to lose this person."

"What's the matter, just follow everyone and do it together. It's easy to learn, and there's nothing you can't do."

Daiyu heard the words, looked at Ji Yuanlan, but saw Ji Yuanlan touching the tip of his nose helplessly, frowned and said in a low voice: "I told you to talk nonsense just now, and these words are proverbs, so you don't want to go."

"How can this be my fault? I didn't know that I could still be seen hiding in this corner."

"This is how to do?"

"..."

Ji Yuanlan didn't know what to do, but everyone was so enthusiastic, and they all stared at them, if it's really outrageous to be coy, why not——

With a decision in mind, he stretched out his hand and took Daiyu to the middle.

"Hey!" Daiyu exclaimed, and couldn't help but froze, "What are you doing!"

"Everyone is so enthusiastic, there will be so many people in a while, no one will recognize you and me." Ji Yuanlan looked back at Daiyu and explained softly, "Don't worry, I'm here."

Straight into Ji Yuanlan's eyes, Daiyu's uneasiness and panic were calmed down, her eyes widened and she couldn't speak, but she smiled because of Ji Yuanlan and these few words.

It's better to have Ji Yuanlan alone than alone.

"Then it's embarrassing for the two of us to be thrown together. Fortunately, we changed our clothes and no one would recognize it." Daiyu walked quickly to Ji Yuanlan's side and smiled, "If I were to be alone, I would have to leave you Pull it up."

Ji Yuanlan laughed, "It's impossible for me to let you come up alone, I have to stay by your side to be at ease."

With so many people, how could he be at ease.

The person who spoke just now couldn't help laughing when he saw the two people approaching. After applauding, he looked at the crowd, as if he was picking out the rest of the people, "All the new friends are here, why are you still coy? It's burning so brightly, dancing at the bonfire is good luck."

As soon as the voice fell, the crowd was already agitated. Sure enough, someone came out of the crowd, one by two. Slowly, there were quite a few people.

Ji Yuanlan and Daiyu went around and stood on the outermost side, clasping their fingers together, talking in their ears from time to time, the smile on their faces never disappeared.

Daiyu, who was talking next to Ji Yuanlan's ear, suddenly felt that someone was approaching her. Before she could turn around to look, she heard the sound of drums in the crowd. She opened her eyes wide and showed curiosity. She was about to ask when someone caught her wrist.

"Stop talking small things, both of you, it's time to start."

With the sound of the drum accompanied by the cheers of the crowd, Daiyu felt a little dizzy, and followed the crowd back and forth in a chaotic pace, her hand was firmly held by Ji Yuanlan, and the other hand was led by the young girl beside her.

So bold.

Jumping and jumping, Daiyu seemed to be drunk, staring at Ji Yuanlan beside her, only seeing Ji Yuanlan in her eyes, she bent her eyes with a smile, taking advantage of the last burst of cheers from the crowd, she threw herself into Ji Yuanlan's arms inside.

"ended?"

"kindness."

Ji Yuanlan led Daiyu back into the crowd, found a place to sit down, and reached out to wipe the sweat off Daiyu's face, "This is something I've never done before, even for me."

Daiyu sat there with her chin resting on her knees, raised her head to look at Ji Yuanlan, and blinked, "It's really strange."

"kindness?"

"I didn't know there was such excitement in the past." Daiyu squinted her eyes, "But it seems... everyone is very happy. Everyone is very happy at such a party."

"If you want to be happy, you will often hold such a bonfire. If you are not happy, why do you have to hold such a bonfire again?" Ji Yuanlan said with a smile: "You should see if everyone is hiding a smile on their faces."

"Hey, it smells like wine."

Ji Yuanlan was startled, looked back, and saw a person bringing a jug of wine and a plate of meat, and immediately got up to take the things, "Thank you for the hospitality, I laughed just now."

The visitor laughed loudly when he heard the words, "I don't see laughter, I'm very happy."

After saying this, Ji Yuanlan was rarely able to answer the words. He didn't expect the incident just now. It was an accident within an accident. He seldom had such a time, but it's good to experience it once in a while.

After talking to the visitor for a few words, Ji Yuanlan sat down after watching him go to another place.

"Have a taste?"

"kindness."

But Daiyu didn't drink this wine anymore. She had a drink with Song Yueheng in the general's mansion last time, but she passed out after drinking one more glass. When she returned to the palace and woke up, she only remembered a rough idea of ​​what happened before. .

Daiyu didn't want Ji Yuanlan to carry her back this time, and was so drunk that she even forgot what happened tonight.

Seeing Daiyu eating meat in small bites without even looking at the wine next to her, Ji Yuanlan shook her head, and poured a jug of wine into her mouth, "This wine is really strong."

"Then you drink a lot. After a while you get drunk, I can't carry you on my back, so the two of us have to sleep here."

"Sleep here over there."

"Using the sky as a quilt and the earth as a bed?"

"Exactly."

Daiyu stared at Ji Yuanlan, saw Ji Yuanlan pouring wine into his mouth with his neck up, with a chic demeanor and free and easy movements, he couldn't help but think of the first time he saw Ji Yuanlan.

It was snowing, and she was upset and wronged by the matter of Jia Baoyu and Baochai, so this man came straight into her life accompanied by snowflakes.

He didn't get entangled, but deliberately appeared in front of her, followed by meticulous care, even the maids in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion received a lot of care from him.

How could such a person have such a side.

"Is it the same when you were in the army?" Daiyu vaguely saw the situation of Ji Yuanlan's soldiers in the camp, which was completely different from when he was in the capital and on the way here.

He clearly had the face of a nobleman from a family like jade, and he looked like he couldn't bear any hardships, but he seemed to be able to suffer all kinds of hardships, and to suffer any crimes.

"then you--"

"kindness?"

"It just feels like you're more at home here."

To Ji Yuanlan, the world in the capital seemed too small, not enough for Ji Yuanlan to display.Above the court hall, it was still a beautiful cage, with all kinds of crises hidden, fighting openly and secretly, making it uncomfortable to stay here. When Ji Yuanlan arrived here, it seemed that Ji Yuanlan had just liberated his mind, showing an ordinary and rare appearance.

Daiyu wiped her hands and dragged her chin to look at Ji Yuanlan, "How about we stay here from now on?"

"not good."

Hearing this, Daiyu was startled, and stared at Ji Yuanlan with a puzzled expression.

Ji Yuanlan put down the jug and approached Daiyu, "Although this place is good, it is still not the capital city. Although the capital city is not as high and wide as this place, there are people from Yongkang Palace. How can I leave them alone? In the capital, it is not necessarily possible to be restrained by anyone."

Seeing Ji Yuanlan approaching suddenly, Daiyu paused for breath, staring at the face that was close at hand, even the tip of her nose was almost touching, Daiyu could not help but move closer, the tip of her nose just touched.

"Where are you, I will go."

As soon as the words fell, the corners of her lips felt a burst of alcohol, and Daiyu's eyes widened. Although she knew that Ji Yuanlan would occasionally act boldly, she never expected to be like this in front of everyone. Her cheeks became hot, but she said no After speaking, he could only stare at Ji Yuanlan.

Seeing Daiyu's appearance, Ji Yuanlan stepped back and picked up the jug again.

"..." Seeing this, Daiyu lowered her head silently, reached out to take a piece of meat, and stuffed it into her mouth, but the smell of wine also entered her mouth, and immediately burned even the base of her ears.

It turned out to be such a taste. Fortunately, the crowd was so lively that no one noticed them.

The wine was indeed a bit strong, but it only smelled of wine, and she felt a little drunk.

In the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, two maids were sitting there on the porch, leaning against the porch pillars and dozing off. Before falling asleep, they heard movement from the gate of the courtyard, which woke them up and looked up.

Xueyan rubbed her eyes, not sure if she was dazzled.

But no one else can enter the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, so is she still dreaming?

Just as she was thinking about it, Zijuan beside her got up and walked over, hurriedly got up and stepped forward, "This is really the prince and the girl? Why did you change your clothes when you went out?"

Zijuan came forward with a chuckle, saw Daiyu walking towards Ji Yuanlan, and smelled fire, wine and meat as soon as he got close, Zijuan was startled.

"Where did the girl and the prince go? The whole body smells like this."

Daiyu hurriedly lowered her head and smelled it, she couldn't smell it there just now, now she lowered her head and smelled it, isn't it the smell all over her body?

"Going to Yinyue Lake for a walk, it happened to catch up with the bonfire meeting, you go to fetch hot water, where is Dongfu?"

"I'll call him. He was still awake just now. He said he was going back to his room to get something. He probably dozed off while sitting." Zijuan saw that Xueyan had already gone to fetch hot water, so she answered, "Girl...what's your outfit today?"

Daiyu, who had been playing around all night, was a little embarrassed when she heard Zijuan's words, coughed lightly, and looked at Ji Yuanlan, "This is more convenient."

Ji Yuanlan, who had been silent all this time, smiled and said, "Doesn't it look good in this dress?"

"Looks good, girl doesn't look good in what she wears." After speaking, Zijuan suppressed a smile and turned to look for Dongfu.

Daiyu watched Zijuan leave with a smile, sighed helplessly, and followed Ji Yuanlan back to the room, muttering in a low voice, "I'll let that girl Zijuan talk about it this time."

"Then next time, you'll get her a dress to wear, and she won't be ashamed to say anything about you."

"good idea."

Daiyu thinks that Ji Yuanlan's idea is good, it can be regarded as a good idea.
