Chapter 563 This is her own choice
Although Ji Yunlan was touched, he glanced at her and said, "Really? Why do I see that you are even fatter than before?"
"..." Ji Yunshu said with a guilty conscience, "How am I fat? I'm just wearing too much."
She has been bored these days and has been tinkering with cakes, breads and various desserts. It would be strange if she didn't gain weight after eating these high-calorie foods.
The weather is very cold now, and she hardly goes out. Although she practices martial arts indoors for a while every day, the amount of activity is still not enough.
Ji Yunlan didn't expose her: "You are right, it's much colder here than in the capital. Can you get used to living here?"
Ji Yunshu knew that he was concerned about her, so she smiled and said, "I hardly go out these days. I eat and sleep, so what's there to be uncomfortable with?"
Ji Yunlan nodded and said, "That's good. Dad is always worried about you."
Ji Yunshu knew that he was worried, so he deliberately used his father's name to say this, and deliberately said: "Dad hardly comes home these days, I thought he didn't care about me."
Ji Yunlan said, "Dad is just like that. When he's busy, he doesn't care about anything else. When I was little, he would go to the military camp for days at a time and completely forget that he had a son. If there weren't people taking care of me at home, I don't know if I would have grown up like this."
The brother and sister complained about their father in exactly the same tone.
But since he had said so, Ji Yunshu naturally couldn't say anything else. No matter what, compared to Ji Yunlan, she had indeed lived a very comfortable life these years.
The two chatted for a while. Ji Yunshu knew that Ji Yunlan would be recuperating in the mansion for the next few days, so he was not in a hurry. He had dinner with him, watched him drink the medicine, and left.
When Ji Yunlan came back injured, Ji Yunshu took the initiative to take care of him.
I didn’t sleep in the morning and got up early to have breakfast with Ji Yunlan.
Ji Yunlan has been in the military camp for many years and has become accustomed to getting up early every day to practice martial arts. Although his legs are not convenient now, he still gets up early.
Ji Yunshu watched with his own eyes as the doctor changed the dressing on his wound. He was relieved to see that the wound had already scabbed over and looked like it was nothing serious.
However, seeing that Ji Yunshu was very concerned and asked carefully, the doctor still said a few more words. The injury seemed to be almost healed, but it was a bone injury after all, so he had to take good care of himself and not be careless.
Ji Yunshu wrote down all the precautions and asked Yin Ye to send the doctor out safely after thanking him.
After the doctor left, she immediately asked someone to get the medicine according to the prescription.
Even Ji Yunlan was very surprised: "I heard from the servants that you usually sleep until noon these days, why are you so diligent today?"
Ji Yunshu poured him a cup of almond milk she had made herself. "There's nothing to do, so why would I get up so early? Now that you're back, aren't you? Since I'm here, I can't let you come back alone like before, with no one to take care of you."
Ji Yunlan took a sip of the fragrant almond milk and said with emotion: "In the blink of an eye, you have grown so big."
He never thought that there would be a day when he would be taken care of by his sister.
But he had to admit, after returning yesterday, it felt really good to have Ji Yunshu accompany him for dinner.
Ji Yunshu sat on the chair, holding his chin and said, "I've been thinking for the past few days that you and Dad definitely won't have time to celebrate the New Year this year. Why don't I just stay here and return to the capital after the New Year? What do you think?"
A smile appeared in Ji Yunlan's eyes: "That's good."
Ji Yunshu tilted her head and looked at him: "I thought you were going to say that I'm married after all, and it's against the rules to stay here for the New Year."
Ji Yunlan sneered: "This is Youzhou, not the capital. There aren't so many rules here. Besides, I don't think you and Zhao Shen are the kind of people who stick to the rules."
"That's more like it. How did you and Daddy spend the previous years?"
Ji Yunshu asked curiously.
Ji Yunlan stroked the still warm teacup in his hand and said calmly, "It's no different from usual. Most of the time we're in the military camp, and no one can go home. We just stay together, drink and eat meat, and the whole night passes by."
Ji Yunshu laughed: "It's better than I thought. I thought it was just you two living in this mansion."
The purpose of the New Year is to have fun. Although these people cannot go home, the friendship they share on the battlefield is not necessarily inferior to that of their families.
Ji Yunlan didn't feel anything at first, but after hearing what he said, he seemed to feel that the previous years had been pretty good, at least not lonely.
He thought again of Ji Yunshu who was alone in the palace. Although she was taken care of by the Queen Mother, the annual banquet in the palace was really boring. She was a little girl and had to abide by the rules. She must have missed her family.
His brows softened: "This year, my father and I will return home and spend the holiday with you."
If you think about it carefully, their family rarely gets to reunite during the Chinese New Year.
"Okay, I heard that New Year's goods have started to be sold outside these days. Let's go buy some when we have time."
Last year, Zhao Shen also accompanied her to buy New Year's goods. Naturally, the capital city was more lively, but the situation in Changxing Marquis' Mansion was really special and not much better than in the palace.
Seeing that she was very interested, Ji Yunlan nodded and agreed: "Then I guess I have to wait until my leg gets better, which will take a few days."
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "Don't worry."
Ji Yunshu was afraid that Ji Yunlan would be bored while recuperating from his injuries, so she wanted to stay with him for a while before leaving.
Who would have thought that after a while, someone came to report that Wujina was here again.
Ji Yunshu remembered what Ji Yunlan had said to her before and showed no emotion. She said goodbye to Ji Yunlan and went to meet the guests.
Ji Yunlan looked at her back, feeling a little worried.
The servants around him were puzzled: "What are you worried about? The young lady has been to Mobei before, she should be able to handle these things."
Ji Yunlan shook his head: "I just don't know whether it is good or bad to let her handle these things."
The servant immediately understood his worries and said with a smile: "It's a good thing, the young lady will eventually grow up."
Ji Yunlan nodded: "This is her own choice."
In the past, he and his father had the same idea, thinking that as long as his sister did not come to Youzhou and stayed away from the war, everything would be fine.
But this injury made him suddenly realize that both he and his father would die.
What would she do if they were gone and her sister didn't grow up?
Zhao Shen seems reliable now, but he can't protect his sister all the time.
And he had to admit that even if he and his father were both alive, they might not be able to protect people.
So whether it was the last time he went to Mobei or this time when he came into contact with Wujina, he did not stop Ji Yunshu even though he knew there was danger.
She should live according to her own wishes.
Of course, this doesn't affect his worries.
Ji Yunshu didn't know what Ji Yunlan was thinking, and she was puzzled because Ji Yunlan seemed to be more at ease with her than before.
After all, he didn't agree when she wanted to go to Mobei before.
After the conversation with Ji Yunlan last night, Ji Yunshu felt much more calm when facing Wujina again.
