Extra: Entering a Dream (Part 2)
"Brother, I didn't know you had this habit?"
Su Jinzhou suddenly grabbed Jitang's ankle.
"Jitang?"
Ji Tang leaned forward due to his action and put his hand on his brother's shoulder.
It seems that the dream has been going on for some time.
She saw a look of surprise in her senior brother's eyes, but the two of them were like this now...
She sat on the edge of the bed, one foot down and the other raised.
The tiptoe of her raised foot was hooking her senior brother's chin. He was half-kneeling on the ground, forced to look up, holding the sole of her shoe with one hand and holding her ankle with the other.
Jitang glanced to the side and happened to see the whip on the bedside. Combined with the two people's movements...
"Senior Brother."
"Hmm?" Su Jinzhou was very happy when he knew that Jitang had fallen asleep.
Now the person in front of him was finally not the young lady with a perverse personality, but the real Ji Tang.
Ji Tang was looking at him with complicated eyes.
"We've been together for thousands of years, but I never knew that Senior Brother liked these things. It's my fault. I ignored your...feelings."
A whip suddenly appeared in front of Su Jinzhou. She pulled the whip straight, making a sharp sound.
He glanced past the whip at Ji Tang, and before he could say anything, he was pulled up by Ji Tang, and then fell down on the edge of the bed. The whip also moved closer, gently landing on the side of his face, then sliding from the side of his face to his chin, and then to his neck.
Ji Tang leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Brother, where do you like me to hit you?"
Su Jinzhou: "..."
Jitang couldn't bear it any longer, threw away the whip, and fell on the bed laughing.
Su Jinzhou let her laugh, but his shoulders, which had been tense in the dream, relaxed at this moment.
After Jitang had laughed enough, Su Jinzhou pulled her into his arms and told her everything in his dream.
Jitang originally thought it was interesting, but the more he listened, the angrier he became.
She was reluctant to let him get hurt, but the lady in her dream had caused her senior brother so much damage in such a short time.
She was angry but had no place to vent, and felt really frustrated.
Su Jinzhou took a long time to coax Jitang into submission.
She dressed her and called the maid waiting outside to do her makeup.
The maid came in and knelt down first, kowtowed and greeted.
Ji Tang was stunned and was about to reach out to help, but before he could touch her, the maid fell backwards in fright.
The maidservant was shaking like a sieve, almost lying on the ground, and kept saying "I deserve to die" and "Please forgive me, young lady."
She looked at her senior brother in surprise.
Su Jinzhou nodded silently, meaning that this was how the young lady and the servants usually got along.
Jitang cleared his throat, "It's too noisy, get up!"
The purpose of this dream is to eradicate the inner demon of her senior brother. If she changes too much, it will inevitably attract the attention of the inner demon.
The maid thanked him profusely, got up carefully, and helped Jitang to dress up.
The maid secretly watched Su Jinzhou.
Normally, he would have found an excuse to go out by now, so why is he so quiet today?
The maid finished dressing Jitang and whispered softly, "Miss, the master and mistress are hosting a banquet in the front hall today. The young masters of the Qian, Shao, and Zhang families will all be there. Do you want to go and have a look?"
Jitang, "Is it related to me?"
The maid was stunned. "No, it has nothing to do with you..."
"Then why should I join in the fun? Just go out if you have nothing to do."
The maid stammered, "B-but..."
Jitang looked at her in the mirror, "What do you want to say?"
The maid suddenly knelt down and said, "Miss, Master Shao sent a message saying that he will be waiting for you at the banquet."
Jitang gave Su Jinzhou a look, and Su Jinzhou shook his head.
Ji Tang, "Then go." Since there was inner demon interfering in the dream, she would go and take a look.
*
The Lanxiao Banquet was an elegant banquet for literati. Young masters and young ladies exchanged poems and painted, and naturally there were many secret glances among them. The elders saw through it but did not say anything, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
When Jitang came, everyone had different reactions.
Someone came to greet her. It was a handsome young man. "You are here, Miss Ji."
Jitang didn't know who this person was, so the less he said, the less wrong he was. "Yeah."
He politely led Ji Tang forward, "The roses are in bloom, they are beautiful. Come with me to see them."
If you don’t know, you might think this is his house.
Ji Tang remained calm and followed him with a smile.
The rose garden is located in the garden next to the front hall, and there are many young men and women admiring the flowers there.
He brought Ji Tang to the rose flower, but his eyes were looking behind her.
The maid was good at reading people's expressions. "Miss, Mr. Shao." She bowed to the two of them and stepped away.
But there is someone here who doesn't know how to read people's expressions.
A flash of dissatisfaction passed through Master Shao's face. He acted like a gentle gentleman, but he didn't even look at Su Jinzhou.
The voice faded a little, "You go down too."
Of course Su Jinzhou would not leave and simply ignored the other party's cold look.
Master Shao saw that he was deaf and had no reason to ask him to leave. Miss Jitang did not seem to notice these details either, so he had to give up.
The flower appreciation was fake. Mr. Shao stood in front of the rose, but he didn't even look at the flower. His eyes were only on Ji Tang.
Jitang was really enjoying the flowers.
"The roses are brightly colored and very pretty."
Mr. Shao was very graceful, with a smile on his face. "As long as you like it."
Jitang didn't understand how such a "wild and domineering" lady like her could win the favor of Master Shao.
She couldn't help but observe for a moment, and seeing that the other person's eyes were glued to her face, she immediately understood.
It turns out that Mr. Shao is a person who only cares about appearance.
"Atang." Master Shao changed the address, and the relationship between the two seemed to become much closer with the name "Atang".
Ji Tang seemed to be shyly lowering his head and eyes, but in fact he was guessing.
Is this the purpose of the inner demon?
Arouse the jealousy of the senior brother and deliberately provoke him?
This trick is too childish.
She took the opportunity to glance at her senior brother with her eyes lowered, and saw that his eyes were filled with anger as he slashed fiercely at Master Shao. If he had a sword at his waist, it would probably be across Master Shao's neck by now.
Jitang: “…”
Does this trick really work?
"No matter how beautiful the rose is, it can't compare to you." Shao Gongzi's eyes looked as if he wanted to annoy a bee to death, "Atang, I..."
The maid ran over in a hurry and interrupted Master Shao before he could finish his words, "Miss!"
Master Shao frowned and took a step back with an unexpected look.
The maid whispered in her ear, "Miss, your cousin sent someone to call you over. She said there's something urgent!"
"Cousin?" Who is that?
Ji Tang looked at his senior brother secretly, and saw that his senior brother's expression was also unclear.
Ji Tang nodded to Master Shao, then thought something was wrong and bowed slightly, "Master Shao, I'll excuse myself for a moment."
Master Shao agreed with a smile.
Jitang followed the maid through the garden and came to the greenhouse where guests could rest temporarily from the path behind the garden.
It is sparsely populated and very quiet.
"My cousin has something personal to tell you, so I'd like you to meet me here."
Jitang pushed the door open and went in.
The maid stopped Su Jinzhou, who was about to go in, outside.
She whispered, "You and I are waiting outside. Please don't disturb the two young ladies."
Su Jinzhou noticed her trembling hands and knew something was wrong. However, Ji Tang was no longer the lady in his dreams, so Su Jinzhou was not worried.
He stopped and stood on the other side of the door.
Then I heard the maid sigh in relief.
Jitang entered the room and didn't see anyone at first.
She didn't know whether this cousin was older or younger than her, so she didn't call anyone.
This body, thanks to years of training, had sharp ears and eyes. She heard the sound of footsteps moving slightly behind the falling curtain. There was no rhythm, more like stumbling.
She didn't show it, but walked straight past and came behind the screen.
The bed was empty. Just as she was about to turn around, the heavy curtains were lifted and a man suddenly pounced on her.
Ji Tang remained calm, spun around to avoid the man, and kicked him in the back, sending him crashing onto the bed.
The man looked a little dazed, with an abnormal flush on his face and heavy breathing. He didn't cry out in pain after being kicked onto the bed by Ji Tang, but turned around to grab her.
Ji Tang glanced at the incense burner on the crescent table beside the bed.
It had been a long time since she had seen such a weak fragrance.
Ji Tang's body had been cultivated with his senior brother for several years and was not affected by the incense. However, judging from the man's appearance, he must have been inhaling it for some time and the effect had already taken effect.
This incense seems to be easy to obtain in the mortal world, and its effect is similar to the low-level Jiuchun Pill in alchemy.
She knocked the man who pounced on her unconscious, threw him on the bed, took the pillow and put it in his arms, letting him hold it, then covered him tightly with a thin blanket.
From the outside, it looks like two people sleeping in each other's arms.
After doing this, she hid behind the bed.
After waiting for a while, there was a noise outside the door.
The door was kicked open.
The noise suddenly became clearer, and the footsteps were staggered, so it seemed that quite a few people had come.
"I was in a bad mood and wanted to have a few private words with my sister, so I made an appointment to meet her here. But when I got here, my sister's maid refused to let me in..." This was a choked female voice. Although she sounded like she was crying, she spoke very clearly.
"Our master has already been resting in the house. Please don't say anything nonsense, cousin!"
"What about the maid and servant guarding outside the door?!" The voice was full of energy. Ji Tang guessed that this person was either Miss Ji Tang's father or the father of the young man she knocked unconscious.
With a thud, the maid knelt on the ground, "Master, the young lady said she was tired from strolling in the garden, so she wanted to go into the house to rest for a while. We will stay outside to prevent others from disturbing her..."
"What about our young master?!"
When Jitang heard this, he found it extremely novel.
Is this the intrigue in the mortal world?
During the interrogation, they had already come behind the screen and saw the bulge in the thin quilt on the bed.
"Ah!!!" The women screamed and turned their backs, covering their eyes with their sleeves.
Some of the men were interested, while others avoided looking.
The middle-aged man in the front was probably Miss Jitang's father. He was so angry that he couldn't breathe. If it weren't for the servant beside him to support him, he would have sat on the ground.
“This! This…”
He swung his sleeves to chase them away, "Everyone get out first!!!"
A frail figure rushed from the master's side to the bedside, her voice innocent and sounding full of concern, "Sister? Sister! What's wrong with you, sister?" She called out while lifting the thin quilt.
Ji Tang was amazed. She pretended to be ignorant even though she knew the truth, but it turned out to be very convincing.
The thin blanket was lifted, and many pairs of eyes looked inside.
The next moment, the woman screamed.
This cry was much more genuine than the previous one.
There was only a young man sleeping in the thin quilt, holding a half-person-high pillow in his arms.
"Young Master Han?" The old man's pounding heart finally began to slow down. He tried to wake him up, but after calling for a long time, Young Master Han didn't move. He hurriedly said, "Quick! Call the doctor!"
