Thirty-two chance encounters
At this moment, facing the young man in front of her, Jiujie had already become very calm.
When you stick your head out, you get cut; when you pull it back in, you also get cut.
Can't escape, then let's have some fun!
"Wen Ba Jie, you're such a coward, scared away so early. Do you know what our brother just showed us? One stone, two birds... Haha... Now our brother is out the door, and later after school, we'll be practicing sword fighting..."
To be honest, she agreed with Su Shifu's proposal just now, also because she remembered the loud voice of Liu Jie when she entered Qifang Pavilion.
But unexpectedly, I met you again here by mistake.
Look at Ou Yang Jing's body already wearing regular clothes, she also knows that he has just returned from outside, in a hurry, she thinks he should have forgotten something.
Because from the east corner gate come in, from here through, is a shortcut.
At this time, Ou Yang Jing was also surprised to run into Jiu Jie here. When his eyes fell on Jiu Jie's fearless little face, he was even more shocked.
This little dry bean sprout, can't hide from him anymore...
"Long time no see, brother!" Not only did she not avoid him, but instead went forward and greeted him openly.
This made Ouyang Jing somewhat caught off guard, staring blankly at Jiu Jie'er, to the point of forgetting to react.
"Big Brother is busy, and Little Nine still has things to attend to, so I'll take my leave first." This was a perfect opportunity for Jiu to slip away.
" Ninth sister, ninth sister......" But at this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind her, it was Pin Hong, the maid who had been sent to fetch the trunk earlier.
Helplessly, Jiu also had no choice but to stop in her tracks.
"You're not feeling well, you should wait for me!" Pin Hong was Su Shi Fu's most trusted maid, extremely diligent and responsible. She naturally worried about her unauthorized actions, which led to dissatisfaction.
"It's nothing..." she hastily said, but her gaze suddenly fell on Ouyang Jing's face to the side.
The stunned expression on that handsome face was gone, replaced by a sneering smile.
Uh...
She was taken aback.
"Cousin, it's windy here, if you're not comfortable, why don't you go back inside?" But the expression was fleeting, like a flash of lightning, and soon returned to its usual polite and proper demeanor.
Jiujie was a bit stunned, but Ou Yang Jing smiled at her again and turned to leave.
Looking at the young man's slender and agile back, Jiuniang couldn't help but furrow her brow...
The days are still ordinary, but the Wenfu is getting busier and busier as the date of San Jie's marriage approaches.
The third sister is to be married to the eldest son of the State Duke of Bianzhou City, Xiang Shi Zhen. In the Great Viet Dynasty, although the titles of Guo Gong and Hou are hereditary and cannot be replaced, it is clear that the position of Guo Gong is higher than that of Hou. Moreover, the Xiang family's imperial grace is flourishing, so the Wen family belongs to a high-ranking family, therefore, the Wen family handled this marriage with extreme caution, fearing being despised by others.
Under such busy circumstances, the studies of the young ladies in the Wen household naturally also came to a halt, and they only did embroidery at home.
As for this order, Jiu Jie naturally sought it out, because in doing so she could not only avoid running into Ouyang Jing but also focus on writing her notes about the white wax tree and the white wax insect.
Her uncle naturally did not disappoint her expectations. Not only did he find the white wax tree in a certain mountain forest outside the city, but also rented that mountain forest.
This made her quite delighted for a while, but then she thought that now is winter, and there's nothing she can do about this fallen tree, so she decided to first summarize all the memories from her past life.
Although she had always had an impressive memory, after all, it was abandoned for four years, and now picking it up again is quite a bit of a mental effort...
Putting down the pen in her hand, Jiu jie stretched her waist and stood up, but suddenly caught sight of the chestnut cake on the table that had already gone cold.
That was brought by Aunt Xu yesterday, made by your aunt.
It suddenly occurred to me that I hadn't been to Aunt Xu's place for many days, especially since Aunt Xu said yesterday that she had caught a cold and wind, so no matter what, I had to make a trip.
"Qing Xing, Qing Tao, let's go for a walk!" And so they called out to Qing Xing and Qing Tao, the three of them rushing straight to the backyard where Xu Niang was.
Because she was in the habit of avoiding the three madams, whenever Ninth Sister went to Aunt Xue's place, she never took the winding corridor inside the courtyard, but instead passed through a narrow passageway on the north side that connected with the main house, walking along the outer edge of the garden.
Today is also as usual!
Next to the big house's cross courtyard, there were several plum trees inside, and now the flowers were in full bloom. A rough little servant girl named Xiaojinchuan was picking plum blossoms, saying that the kitchen's aunt wanted to make flower tea.
When she saw Jiu Jie coming over, that little girl immediately greeted her warmly and insisted on giving Jiu Jie two plum blossoms.
Looking at the little girl's sincere appearance, Jiu Jie didn't decline and let Qing Tao take it over to give to her aunt.
Aunt Xü, in her thirties, had a delicate and gentle appearance, with a slender figure, wearing a pale lotus-colored jacket with a high collar, sitting on the kang, embroidering shoe soles.
Seeing Jiu Jie'er coming in, Xu Niang naturally was both surprised and delighted, and hurriedly got down from the kang.
" Ninth sister, I'm not seriously injured, don't worry about me. Look, these many silver ingots and this new trunk were just sent over by the mistress. You must listen to the mistress's words carefully and not always run to me..."
Still the same, Aunt Xü first grasped Jiǔ's hand and gazed at her with fervent eyes, then had Aunt Xü bring out all the good tea and snacks she had been saving, and finally began to instruct her tirelessly.
Although it's always this rhythm, Jiu Jie Er doesn't show a single thread of impatience.
Because this humble and weak woman's full of filial piety moved her, made her respect her more, and also made her cherish her.
Just after sitting for a while, Mrs. Xü began urging her to go back.
She naturally stood up and left the door, in Xu's reluctant gaze, just out of the door, she secretly pulled over that Xu aunt, and handed over a silver ingot, "Buy some tonic for Auntie!"
Mrs. Xu immediately nodded repeatedly and thanked her gratefully.
She walked out of the backyard a long way off, and Ninth Sister was still turning her head to look back, wishing that one day she could let those who loved her live freely and happily.
The ninth sister and Qing An and Qing Tao returned along the original road, but when they passed by that alley, they couldn't help but stop in their tracks.
"Sixth Sister, I really don't dare, I'm really afraid... Please spare me..."
"What are you yelling about? My brother's knife skills have always been precise, he won't even cut off a single hair of yours, hurry up."
Sixth Sister stood with her hands on her hips in front of a small servant girl, holding an apple and giving orders with a raised eyebrow, while several people stood on either side of the two.
Ouyang Jing carelessly played with a flying knife, while Qī Jiě covered her mouth with a handkerchief and blew air, and Wén Chóng Rì had an expression of enjoying the show.
Jiujie's eyebrows furrowed involuntarily for an instant.
"It's Xiao Jinchuan..." Qing Tao looked at the little girl with a glance, and immediately became furious, taking steps to walk over.
"What are you doing?" but was pulled by Qing An.
"Miss..." Qing Tao didn't dare move anymore, she just stared at Jiu Jie Er with her eyes.
Jiuer looked at Ouyang Jing again and then walked over...
