Chapter 478: This is not fair
Gu Saisai suddenly retreated back into the carriage and urged the driver to go faster.
But just as the driver raised his whip, he heard someone calling her name: "Gu Saisai, it's a rare visit to my house, and you're leaving without even saying hello?"
Then, the curtain was lifted, revealing Ji Chengyuan's handsome face: "What? Do you dislike me?"
Gu Saisai looked at him with a dry laugh: "Cousin Chengyuan, what are you talking about? I'm just tidying up my appearance, how could I possibly dislike you."
"We are siblings. How could I despise you? I'll help you down."
Ji Chengyuan extended his hand towards her.
Gu Saisai had no choice but to bite the bullet and get off the carriage.
After getting off the carriage, she glared at Ying Zhilin fiercely.
Ying Zhilin, however, acted like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water. He said to Ji Chengyuan, "Brother, this Princess Jinghe said she likes my looks and wants me to follow her. If I serve her well, she will guarantee that I will rise to prominence and live a life of luxury and wealth."
Ji Chengyuan looked at Gu Saisai: "Really? How come I didn't know that cousin Saisai has already extended her hand into the court and can arbitrarily decide the promotion and demotion of officials?"
Gu Saisai's hair stood on end.
Of course, she didn't dare say that she had that ability, as she would be suspected.
She could only say that she was tempted by his beauty and wanted to get the big deal that Ying Zhilin had painted.
Ying Zhilin immediately revealed an expression of shock at having been deceived: "So, Princess Jinghe, in a moment of lust, actually wanted to break up our marriage."
Ji Chengyuan snorted coldly at Gu Saisai, "You've learned all these old men and rules over the years, and you're actually coveting a married man.
I think I should report this to my aunt and have her send you to a temple to practice asceticism for a year or so."
Gu Saisai was so frightened that her legs went limp: "A temple is not a place for people to stay. I don't want to go there to practice meditation.
Cousin Chengyuan, please forgive me this time."
Gu Saisai was really scared, tears streaming down her face.
Seeing that he had frightened her enough, Ji Chengyuan put away his playful intention and said seriously, "Ying Zhilin, my junior apprentice brother.
Don't try to hit him in the future, okay?"
Gu Saisai: “I…I understand.”
"No matter how good-looking he is, he is not someone you can covet. And you want to break up their marriage, to show off your ability or something?
Gu Saisai, I'm reminding you one last time: stay in your proper place. If you cause any more trouble, I promise to send you to the northern border to farm."
After Ji Chengyuan's threats and intimidation, Gu Saisai had to suppress her dissatisfaction no matter how much she felt.
Gu Saisai agreed obediently on the surface, but in her heart she was thinking, if she can’t touch Ying Zhilin, can’t she start with the people around him?
I heard that he cares a lot about his village girl wife.
In addition, he has a pair of younger siblings who depend on each other for survival, and a group of clansmen whom he respects very much.
It can be said that Ying Zhilin has weaknesses all over his body, and it is easy to control him.
By then, Ying Zhilin will be willing to follow him, and cousin Chengyuan will have nothing to say.
Unexpectedly, Ji Chengyuan saw through her thoughts as if he could read her mind, and warned her again: "Ying Shi Lin is not someone you can touch. If anything happens to his wife, his sister-in-law, or his clansmen, I will hold you responsible."
"Cousin Chengyuan, this is not fair..." Gu Saisai stomped her feet in grievance.
"You're talking to me about fairness? You're taking the people's tax money and doing nothing for them. How is that fair to them?"
Is it fair that you take advantage of your high position and power to rob men?
People born into the royal family have no right to talk about fairness." Ji Chengyuan suddenly spoke in a stern tone.
Gu Saisai was startled.
He quickly begged for mercy and said he would never do it again.
Ji Chengyuan then waved his hand impatiently and sent her away.
Gu Saisai felt as if she had been pardoned. With the help of her maid, she climbed onto the carriage using her hands and feet.
When their carriage was about to leave, Ji Chengyuan stopped Gu Saisai again and reminded her, "Don't get too close to the Lan sisters.
They are each other's only one and no one can live without the other.
You are different.
Your mother is my father's sister. All the brothers and sisters of the Ji family are your cousins. Is that clear?"
Gu Saisai pouted and muttered unwillingly, "I remember. Let's go quickly. If you don't leave now, I won't have a good life."
Gu Saisai urged the coachman, saying that she couldn't stay in this crappy place any longer.
The annoying person left, and Ying Zhilin said goodbye to Ji Chengyuan: "I have to go home to make dinner for my wife. I promised her that I would make Sushan for her tonight."
Hearing that there was something delicious, Ji Chengyuan immediately chased after him and said, "Junior brother, you can make Sushan. What flavor do you make?
I want bitter melon and grape flavors. Peach is also good. Can it be made into the shape of a lotus?
I also want a puppy? Please make two more and I will take one to my old man at home.
Ji Chengyuan followed Ying Zhilin and chattered incessantly.
Ying Zhilin slapped him on the face and drove him away: "Go, go, go. If you want to eat, go home and ask the cook to make it for you."
Ying Zhilin first went to the ice shop to buy ice, then went to "Qingfeng Xiaolou" to pick up Wen Yan, and the two walked home together.
Buy some of her favorite snacks on the way to fill her stomach.
Ying Zhilin always finds ways to make delicious food for Wen Yan.
A border town in northern Xinjiang.
On the city wall, Meng Chifei and his men finished their patrol.
Meng Chifei pulled off the scarf covering his face and shook it lightly, sending out countless dust and sand.
My companion complained: "This year's drought is severe, and the sandstorms are stronger than in previous years. Every time I go out, I can bring back a bucket of sand."
"Who says it isn't true? If it weren't for the wolf tribe spreading smallpox everywhere, Captain Meng would have returned to the capital long ago."
Meng Chifei smiled bitterly.
Doesn’t she want to go back to Beijing?
In the capital, not only can she eat and drink well and wear beautiful clothes, but she can also play with her sisters.
Unfortunately, a smallpox epidemic broke out in the city.
Because she had smallpox when she was a child, she often came into contact with infected patients.
Although the last patient has been cured, as a 'contact', she must be isolated here for six months to ensure that the source of the epidemic is eradicated before she can leave.
Fortunately, their casualties were not serious.
As for the wolf tribe, smallpox spread very quickly among their tribe, and the cold winter made the situation even worse.
They went to the city of Dayong to find a doctor.
Go seek help from a friendly tribe.
However, other ethnic groups avoided them and even drove them away.
The wolf tribe has always been vengeful, and after the snow melted, they spread the disease everywhere.
One person tells ten people, ten people tell a hundred people.
More and more ethnic groups were hit by smallpox epidemics, resulting in countless deaths and injuries.
The wolf tribe, on the other hand, took advantage of the situation and moved to more distant places.
After the epidemic, the damage was done.
In the next five or six years, there will be no major wars in northern Xinjiang.
Meng Chifei was pondering the situation at the border when suddenly a gong sounded from the cooks' camp: "Dinner is ready!"
"It's time for dinner today."
