I wish for a long time

Ye Jiu never felt that a single name could easily stir her heart.

It's not when I was young, how could I be so impatient.

Until I saw these three words.

It seemed that what she saw was not just a flimsy name, but the ragged appearance under the wild trees in the cold March, or the thin figure with handcuffs and hobbled steps.

When she went down to Jingkou, under the peach blossoms in the sky, although she felt sore in her heart, it was not as good as it is now.

I am afraid that only when you really come here, those scenes and feelings will be so strong.

"Master Hou?"

The officers and soldiers who led the way saw Ye Jiu staring at the booklet without moving, and felt a little apprehensive, so they called out in a low voice.

Ye Jiu blinked slightly, loosened his grip on the rice paper a little, and looked away from the three characters.

"How many years have you been here?"

"Go back to Lord Hou, the little one has been guarding the cell for five years."

"Then do you remember where everyone in the Qi Mansion was locked up at that time?"

"This... should be Jiazifang. At that time, there were not many criminal cases, and the Qi family was a big case, so it was naturally placed in the innermost place."

Ye Jiu gently put the booklet on the table, sighed slightly: "Take me there."

The officers and soldiers leading the way didn't realize it for a while, "Go...where?"

Ye Jiu picked up his steps and walked into the long corridor, his ethereal voice echoed in the deep corridor, "Jiazifang."

……

The officers and soldiers leading the way felt that they did not pick a good day to go out today, and encountered some strange things.

It's okay for Master Hou to suddenly run to the prison in a good manner, but he got into the prison cell?

He couldn't help but looked carefully at the prison door, did he miss any beauty these years?

"Everyone was here at the time?"

Ye Jiu sat on the stone bed made of straw mats, and suddenly turned his head to look at the leading officers and soldiers guarding the door.

"Yes, there are not many people, one room is enough."

"How many days has it been closed?"

"More than 20 days."

"Food and clothing?"

"If you don't catch someone, it's no different from him committing a crime."

"Then... can there be punishment?"

"Qi's father and son confessed quickly, but they didn't."

Until hearing these words, Ye Jiuxuan's heart finally fell.

There was no torture, this should be the best news she has heard since just now.

However, just as she breathed a sigh of relief, she frowned again when she thought of the fairy-like food in the prison.

In the prison, if there is no one to take care of it, the treatment can be imagined. She thought that with Lord Qi's official position and character, someone would always lend a helping hand, but it turned out that she was thinking too much.

Who is willing to get involved in the serious crimes of forming a party for personal gain, ransacking the family and destroying the clan?

Ye Jiu fingered the straw beside him, his eyes were deep and cold.

It can be said that before today, she had never imagined what Shao'er would look like in prison.

It wasn't until she saw the name in black and white on the booklet that she was actually sitting here that she finally accepted this fact.

With a grass tail coiled in her hand, her mind wandered far away.

Then when he was imprisoned, what kind of thoughts did Shao'er have.

In other words, what was her state of mind when she walked into the dark prison again.

Ye Jiu's eyes slowly filled with moisture, this girl really didn't say a word to her.

If she hadn't seen it today, she might not have mentioned it to herself at all.

Even on the banks of the Yuncheng River, at Xiajingkou, at Fugu Restaurant, and even outside Xiao Lanfeng's house, if she hadn't noticed it herself, she wouldn't have said anything at all.

Without exception.

Ye Jiu took a deep breath in his heart.

He was so angry that his fingers trembled a little.

Are you angry with that little girl?No, she was mad at herself.

Angry that he couldn't find out earlier, angry that he didn't have a heart and eyes, would he be able to discover the pain deeply hidden in Qi Shao'an's heart.

Ye Jiu lowered his head and heaved a sigh of relief.

She casually wiped the corners of her eyes, and stood up holding the slate, her voice hoarse, "It's been a long time, there are no clues to find, let's go."

The officers and soldiers who led the way suddenly realized that Master Hou was here to investigate the case, no wonder he was so excited, and he was such a good official with such a big title to do it himself!

A sense of admiration rose from the bottom of his heart, and the chain lock clicked, "Yes, Lord Hou!"

……

Hou Mansion, Bamboo Garden.

Ye Jiu took photos of the pool several times to make sure that there was nothing abnormal about his eye circles, so he got up and walked towards the door.

She touched the door for a long time, and when she heard the oriole-like voice inside, she suddenly realized that she had called Jiang Peiling.

Listen carefully, there is also Qi Shaoan's laughter.

It's not like the usual light smile, it's the kind of wanton and cheerful laughter.

Ye Jiu pursed his lips, and finally withdrew his hand.

It's rare for Shao'er to be so happy, so let them chat for a while.

"Brother-in-law, why don't you come in, why don't you ask my sister to invite you?"

Jiang Peiling opened the door, tilted her head and smiled slightly, which scared Ye Jiu into a fright.

She stepped on the steps with one foot, and was about to step on the steps with the other foot. The posture of her walking was so obvious that it was too late for her to turn around with an excuse.

Seeing this, Jiang Peiling didn't say a word, pulled her sleeves and dragged her into the room, not at all reserved in front of the Guoxue Institute in the afternoon.

"Sister Shao'an, I am willing to admit defeat, and the six rituals of Shuxiu are yours."

Jiang Peiling smiled like a stolen ink pill, clapped her hands, and looked at Qi Shaoan proudly.

Qi Shao'an shook his head helplessly, glared at Ye Jiu, and said with an annoyed smile, "You've been standing at the door for so long, why didn't you come in?"

Jiang Peiling pouted, "Brother-in-law doesn't come in, why does he have to leave?"

Ye Jiu raised his head quickly when he heard the words, but before he opened his mouth, he suddenly fell into Qi Shaoan's eyes full of smiles.

She thought it would be okay if she had calmed down, but in fact she couldn't bear it at all.

Her nasal cavity was sore and numb, and she could feel the tears gradually rising and shaking in front of her eyes.

Ye Jiu swallowed hard, trying to hold back the tears, but the blockage in her throat made her eyes even more sore.

"what happened?"

A slightly cool hand was attached to the side of her face, and with a light swipe of the fingertips, it wiped away the pouring tears.

Ye Jiu lowered his head another inch, letting tears fall from his eyes, trying to destroy all evidence.

Qi Shaoan frowned her pretty eyebrows, she didn't know why Ajiu was so depressed today, she didn't even want to have a gentle and calm image in front of others.

But before she could figure it out, her body moved first, Qi Shao'an reached out to wrap her arms around Ye Jiu's shoulders, wrapped her in her arms, and gently touched her neck.

"Okay, okay, isn't it just a loss of a gift, we won't do it."

Qi Shao'an naturally knew that Ajiu would not lose his composure because of this matter, but since Ajiu didn't want to say it now, she didn't want to ask.

Ye Jiu pursed his mouth, buried his head in Qi Shaoan's neck, put his hands around her waist, and sucked his nose.

Ming Ming Shao'er was the most wronged one, but he couldn't control himself like this.

Qi Shaoan patted her on the back lightly, a big little wolf cub nestled on her body and sobbed faintly, her heart had already softened into a puddle of spring mud.

Ajiu has always been thoughtful, guessing people's minds very well, she is also good at playing tricks and acting like a baby in private, but now such an aggrieved appearance really makes her feel distressed.

"Pei Ling is still watching, dear."

Qi Shaoan whispered something close to her ear, and the warm breath successfully made Ye Jiu's ears red.

Ye Jiu rubbed against her clothes, raised his head and fumbled again, then turned to look at Jiang Peiling.

I saw Jiang Peiling curled up on the stool at this time, holding her knees with her hands, burying her head in her arms, and stretched out a hand towards them:

"Don't, I didn't see anything, you go on, don't worry about me!"

How strange she looks!

every time!As long as the distance between these two people is less than three feet, such a scene will inevitably happen, she really has had enough of this kind of sweet crit! !

Jiang Peiling curled her lips secretly, she didn't want needles all over her eyes at a young age.

Qi Shaoan laughed softly, pulled Ye Jiu to sit on the couch, took out a handkerchief to wipe her.

"What were you talking about just now, what six rituals?"

Ye Jiu spoke in a hoarse voice, and Qi Shaoan explained in a warm voice: "It's Liuli and Shuxiu used for enrolling as a teacher. Just now you stood at the door for a long time but didn't come in. Pei Ling made a bet with me. If you come in, she will go right away." Wen Shu, if you don't come in, I will prepare these two things for her."

Qi Shao'an scratched her chin, and said helplessly: "In the end, you walked quickly."

Ye Jiu blushed, "I...I don't know."

Otherwise, she would have to come in through the window for such a waste of money!

Jiang Peiling raised her head at the right time, "Sister Shao'an, brother-in-law also agreed, you are not allowed to play tricks."

Ye Jiu raised his eyebrows: "When did I agree?"

Jiang Peiling let out a hey, "Brother-in-law, do you want to be so picky?"

Ye Jiu shook his finger, "No, this is called moderate financial management, and one coin cannot be wasted."

Jiang Peiling couldn't help but rolled his eyes, he spoke so freshly and refinedly, he deserved to be the Marquis of Zhenyuan.

"However, if you do me a favor, the six rituals will not be a problem."

Jiang Peiling rang the alarm bell, "I'm not selling myself as a performer."

Ye Jiu almost threw her a teacup, "You are a professional counterpart, and you can handle it with your hands!"

Jiang Peiling patted his chest and let out a long breath, "That's good, that's good."

"Also, since you have come to the capital, don't you have to take care of your sister Shao'an's body?"

Jiang Peiling smiled slightly: "This is not financial management?"

Ye Jiu shook his head again, "This is called a reasonable investment, and it's worth it."

Qi Shao'an saw that Ye Jiu didn't suffer at all, and bent the corners of her lips without making a sound, allowing her to bargain with Jiang Peiling.

Jiang Peiling felt that her brother-in-law was a trap, and she couldn't do much to help, but she was very easy to squeeze, and sooner or later she would lose everything if she continued like this.

She cleverly shifted her target to Qi Shao'an, "Sister Shao'an, look at her brother-in-law."

Qi Shaoan looked at the pitiful Jiang Peiling nestled behind her, glanced at Ye Jiu, and said lightly, "Ajiu, don't do this."

"We will have a long time in Japan."

Jiang Peiling: "..."

Raccoons of the same feather!All raccoon dogs! !

She was so angry that she picked up the teacup and drank it all.

"Pfft—it just fell!!"

Ye Jiu couldn't hold back his laughter, and when he met Qi Shaoan's smiling eyes, the knot in his heart was gradually swept away.

She looked at Jiang Peiling sticking out her tongue and wanting to cry, the corners of her lips raised slightly.

In fact, Jiang Peiling and Xie Qiyao are about the same age, and their temperaments are somewhat similar, but in her opinion, these two people are completely different existences to Shao'er.

Xie Qiyao is Shao'er's old friend, and even her playmate when she was young, but this also means that every time Shao'er sees her, she will inadvertently think of those past events, those memories that make her feel sad when she thinks about them.

So whenever Shao'er sees Xie Qiyao, although she has a smile on her face, there is always a trace of loneliness and sadness in her eyes.

She wanted to see Xie Qiyao, but at the same time she didn't dare to see her.

But Jiang Peiling is different, she is a newcomer in Shaoer's life, she is different from Miss Boudoir, she is frank and uninhibited, jumping in every place Shaoer wants to do but dare not do.

It can be said that Jiang Peiling brought her endless hope, leading her to look forward to every thing and scene.

Logically speaking, the appearance of such a vigorous woman in Qi Shaoan's life was a challenge and threat to him.

But she's totally fine with it.

No matter who it is, as long as Shao'er can come out and live wantonly, that's fine.

All she wanted was for Shao'er to be happy like this for the rest of her life.

"Do you want to go out tomorrow?"

Qi Shaoan turned his head, not understanding what Ye Jiu meant, "Get out? Where?"

Ye Jiu touched his chin, "The outskirts of the city, the village next door, any place is good. The flowers are blooming right now, so it's not difficult to find a place with mountains and rivers."

A strong interest appeared on Qi Shao'an's face, and just as she was about to agree, she heard Jiang Peiling shout excitedly beside her: "Okay! I'm going!"

As soon as the words fell, Ye Jiu and Qi Shao'an turned their heads together, their eyes were as sincere as the old master's, and they said in unison:

"No, you go back and study!"

The author has something to say: Jiang Peiling (smiling): Excuse me, I don't deserve it.
