this life i love you

The shop waiter had already delivered the food on time, and Xue Wushang presented the Jade Buddha to Bailang: "Master, I wish you blessings like the East China Sea, and a longevity like Nanshan!"

Although Bailang didn't expect Xue Wushang to give him a gift, he still reacted quickly and thanked him.

Ji Zizai said: "Grandpa, I also have a gift for you, just wait for me."

He took out the jade flute and played it.

The door was opened, and a childish child came in.When Ji Ying saw Ji Zizai, he saluted: "This subordinate has seen the young master!"

It was the first time for Xue Wushang and Bailang to see Ji Ying's appearance clearly. He walked quietly, and he didn't know how long he had been by their side.

Ji Zizai was as surprised as Xue Wushang and the others when he first met Ji Ying, but now he is used to it.

"This child is called Ji Ying. He is my shadow guard and one of the four guardians of the Ji family."

Ji Ying nodded to Xue Wushang and the others: "Next Ji Ying, we meet for the first time, Young Master Xue, Master Bai."

As one of the four guardians of the Ji family, Ji Ying is in charge of the shadow guards and has extremely high power in the family. Only because the other party is Ji Zizai's relatives, he will respond politely.

Xue Wushang thought that the child was just a little capable, but he didn't expect him to have such a high status.

According to Ji Zizai, the Ji family has thousands of people, except for the head of the family, the three elders have the most power, and they only appear when there are important matters. On the surface, it is the four guardians who assist the head of the family to manage the family.

The four guardians each perform their duties, and their names are handed down one by one. For example, Ji Ying manages the Shadow Guard, which is given by the head of the family and is still in use today.

The Shadow Guard is different from the other three forces. It is only issued by the head of the family and can not be commanded by the elders, so it is a unique existence.It's just that Ji Ying is still young and needs to improve compared with the other three guardians. The current top four guardians are Ji Yu.

Xue Wushang roughly knew Ji Ying's identity, and he asked, "Your name is Ji Ying, and you have been by our side all these years?"

Ji Ying explained: "I came to the young master's side two years ago."

Ji Zizai knew that Xue Wushang had always disliked the feeling of being followed.

"Xiaoying is only 14 years old, plus the elder and two other shadow guards, there are four people by our side. But most of the time they don't get close to us, and they don't look at us all the time."

Xue Wushang was also troubled by this at the beginning, but now she is much more relieved to hear Ji Zizai's explanation.

Ji Zizai comforted Xue Wushang, and then asked, "Xiaoying, do you know anything about my mother?"

This is the gift he wanted to give Bailang. What happened back then? Why didn't Bailang see Bai Jingxian? Was it just because Bailang stopped his father's marriage?Ji Zizai felt that it was not that simple.

Ji Ying suddenly knelt down and said, "Young master, I don't want to deceive you. Master Bai is indeed your grandfather, but I can't say anything about the mistress. Please forgive me!"

Ji Zizai frowned: "Xiaoying, is my mother's matter a secret of the Ji family? Even in my capacity, I can't know about it?"

Ji Ying was a little embarrassed, but still insisted: "Young master, please don't ask any more questions, your subordinates won't say anything."

This was the first time he disobeyed Ji Zizai's order, and Xue Wushang could also see that there was something hidden behind it.

"Zi Zi, don't force him yet! Xiaoying, I'll call you that. Since you know that Uncle Shi is the father of your mistress, you should also know that he really misses his daughter. To be honest, your Ji family disappeared 17 Years, uncle also has the right to know some things."

"Young Master Xue, I can understand Master Bai's feelings, but I can't violate the family rules. The shadow guards are dead soldiers who obey orders. As the leader of the shadow guards, I would rather die than do something against my status." Ji Ying His expression was firm.

Bailang knew that things would not go so smoothly, "Wushang, if he doesn't want to talk about it, don't mention it anymore... I just hope that she can live a safe and happy life, and if she doesn't want to see me, I don't want to bother her either. "He had vetoed Bai Jingxian's marriage at the beginning, and he didn't know if his daughter still blamed him now.

Although Ji Ying was young, he was very persevering, which moved him unavoidably.

Bailang felt sorry for his daughter, and Xue Wushang also felt sorry for the old man. During the time they spent together, he knew that Bailang really missed Bai Jingxian, and he felt the same way. The one who stayed behind was always the most painful.

"Xiaoying, I don't force you, I just ask you a few questions, if what I said is right, you just nod, if it's wrong or you can't say it, you just shake your head. Is this okay?"

Ji Ying was in a dilemma. On the one hand, it was the family rules, and on the other hand, he had already rejected Ji Zizai, which in itself would be punished.

Ji Zizai also saw his vacillation, and said, "Xiaoying, you can ask my master as you please, and don't say what you can't say. The Ji family's family rules don't make it clear what you can't say!"

This is to take advantage of the loopholes in the family law, and Ji Ying is not easy to refute.

"My subordinate understands."

Xue Wushang looked at Bailang and Ji Zizai, and they both nodded in agreement with this approach.

Xue Wushang asked: "Xiaoying, during the years when uncle was imprisoned on the island, did you really think about letting him out as long as he agreed?" He asked very coincidentally, as if he hadn't involved that matter at all.

Ji Ying thought for a while and nodded.

Xue Wushang knew in his heart that the members of Ji's family kept Bailang there just to make him agree with the marriage, and Ji Junnian didn't seem like someone who would kill his father-in-law, otherwise he wouldn't let Bailang be so comfortable, but only restricted his freedom .

And Bai Jingxian, when Bailang mentioned her, she always said that she was very cute.The fact that she eloped with Ji Junnian really hurt Bailang's heart, but she was still young at that time, so she might not know that it would be difficult for her and Bailang to see each other again, she might just think that it was a temporary separation and they would reunite soon.

All the problems happened in the year Bailang left. Ji Junnian went back to Ji's house without saying hello, and Bai Jingxian didn't mention seeing his father for more than ten years.

The only thing Xue Wushang could think of was - what happened to Ji's family, and even Bai Jingxian, the mistress, might be in danger. At this time, outsiders should not be allowed to enter Ji's house, even if it was the mistress' father.Of course, this is just his guess, and he can't explain it to Bailang, otherwise he loves his daughter so much, he doesn't know what he will do.

Xue Wushang continued to ask: "When Zizai's father returned to Ji's house, did he call everyone to meet?"

Ji Ying frowned: "Master Xue, I can't answer this question."

Ji Zizai hadn't understood the meaning of this question yet, but Bailang immediately realized that something was wrong.

Xue Wushang asked again: "Will Zizai's mother often mention him?"

Ji Ying shook her head again.

Xue Wushang asked: "When Zizai becomes an adult, can Master Uncle go to Ji's house with him?"

Ji Ying nodded.

Because of these questions Xue Wushang asked, Bailang began to feel a little worried. Even if he tried his best to avoid guessing about some things, he couldn't change what happened.

It is unknown what happened when Ji Junnian went back to Ji's house, Mingming Ji Zizai was there but did not say whether Bai Jingxian missed him or not - this is not a secret, Ji Ying's attitude is suspicious.

After letting Ji Ying retreat, Xue Wushang comforted Bai Lang: "Master, we don't care about the Ji family's affairs, but Miss Bai should not be in danger, she is a comfortable mother, if something happens to the biological mother, she will definitely let him go home. You have been waiting for 20 years, and Xiaoying also said that you can go back to Ji's house with Zi, so you might as well wait a little longer."

Right now, Bailang can only choose to believe his words, even though he is worried about Bai Jingxian, going to the South China Sea is still the same journey.

As the day when the boat arrived was getting closer, the time Xue Wushang looked at the bracelet was getting longer.

The day before the boat sailed, Ji Zizai brought a brocade box to him.Xue Wushang went back to the room and opened it, and found that inside was a blue skirt embroidered with double fishes, which was similar to Xingtaki's, but more delicate.

Ji Zizai knocked on the door: "I specially asked someone to make this dress. I wonder if you like it, master? I just want to tell you that no matter what you wear, I think it looks good."

Xue Wushang couldn't laugh or cry, he really didn't like to wear women's clothes... It was a whim that night, and it was the bronze mirror and rouge box that brought back his memories of his wife... He obviously wanted to forget, but Ji Zizai still remembered.

He must have never given Ji Zizai so much money, and in such a short period of time, maybe only Ji's family has the manpower and financial resources to help Ji Zizai make such a set of skirts.

Xue Wushang's heart was mixed with joy and sorrow. Firstly, Ji Zizai became more and more sensible and would take care of him; secondly, he spent less time with Ji Zizai.Thinking of being separated from his apprentice three years later, he was also very sad.

In order to get rid of the boredom in his heart, Xue Wushang decided to do something, thinking that he had never met that oiran named "Yuerong", so he simply dragged Ji Zizai to Yuyu Tower at night.

There happened to be Yuerong's performance tonight, Xue Wushang learned his lesson, this time he walked in honestly to find a good seat, just waiting for Yuerong to appear.

Yue Rong is a very gentle-looking woman, wearing a long pink dress, her appearance and temperament are one in a million.

Everyone was quiet because of her appearance. She skillfully moved the strings and sang a famous local song with a gentle and pleasant voice.Xue Wushang sat down and listened, feeling that the irritability in her heart seemed to have been eliminated by the singing.

After a song was sung, the audience was silent, and soon there was warm applause.Xue Wushang was about to praise Yuerong's singing to Ji Zizai, but found that she had left his side at some point.

Yuerong sang two songs, and after hearing a few words from the girl who went up suddenly, she got up and hugged the pipa and bowed to everyone.A woman with a seductive face went up and waved a handkerchief and said: "Everyone, Yuerong has already performed, and other girls will serve you after that. Tomorrow, Yuerong will be on stage again. Please enjoy yourself!"

The people in the audience whispered, and some people began to be unconvinced: "What's the matter, Miss Yuerong only appeared this time in the past few days, and she only played these two pieces of music, do you really want to receive guests? "

The woman flattered: "My lord, of course we want to do business, but there is a reason for it! Isn't it because Yue Rong was unwell a few days ago? After finally resting and recuperating, I sang a song for everyone. I'm really sorry. Today's drink money is less Some, it’s an apology to everyone!”

The people below reacted differently, some cursed, some shook their heads, and some even left the meeting directly...
