Chapter 200 Moonlight Boat (4)
When she got to Ji Rangzhou, she curled her lips slightly, then changed her expression and said with a smile: "Happy New Year, Brother Ji, and a bright future ahead."
"New Year's gift and New Year's gift, a peaceful new year and a long and happy life." Ji Rangzhou nodded and handed her the two gifts he had prepared for her. "Would you like to stay for a while?"
"No, I have to go somewhere else to pay New Year's greetings." Mingyuelin accepted his gift, stuffed the New Year gift prepared for him into his hands, refused his request to stay, and ran to sit next to Yuan Yuhe.
When Yuan Yuhe stood up, Ming Yuelin took her arm and left happily, obviously looking forward to visiting the next family to pay New Year's greetings.
Seeing her son still looking at the door, the Lady of the Prince of Fuguo asked with a smile, "Are you having a quarrel with Lin'er?"
Ji Rangzhou nodded.
It was rare for the Lady of the Prince of Fuguo to see him get humiliated, so she said cheerfully, "What's wrong with you? Tell me so I can help you."
"You want to see me in the most lively place." Ji Rangzhou also stood up and went back to his own yard.
He knew why they were quarreling, but now he himself was not sure what he thought of her, so he wanted to see her more often to confirm it.
On the fourth day of the first lunar month, when the family was having lunch, Ji Rangzhou, with a calm face, picked up a piece of food for the Duke of Fuguo and said expressionlessly, "Father, go have a drink with Uncle Ming."
The Duke of Fuguo wanted to laugh: "Why would I go to him for a drink?"
In his early years, due to party disputes, he and my father were transferred out of the capital and went to a cold and bitter place, leaving the two children in the capital to be taken care of by their uncle. The uncle was a serious person, and after he came back, the children had developed the temperament of an old man.
Ji Rangzhou stared at him silently.
The Duke of Fuguo was at a loss: "Okay, go. How many days do you want me to be gone?"
When the child was silent, he looked 70% like his uncle, which reminded him of the days when he was strict disciplined by his uncle when he was young.
"You decide."
"We'll see what happens. Let me make it clear first. Your father is not a drunkard. It's impossible for me to find someone to drink with every day." The Duke of Fuguo muttered.
On the fifth day of the first lunar month, the Duke of Fuguo came to Ming Weishen's house again to have a drink, and Ji Rangzhou went with him.
When they arrived at the Duke of Anguo's Mansion, Ji Rangzhou asked his servants to find Ming Zhouqing and asked Ming Zhouqing to take him around the mansion.
Ming Zhouqing took him for a stroll with his arms folded. Seeing that he didn't say anything, he asked, "Brother Ji, are you tired of your house?"
"Where is your sister?"
"In her yard." Ming Zhouqing suddenly realized.
"Go and tell her I want to see her."
Ming Zhouqing went to Xianyunxuan and came back saying, "She said she was tired from playing today and didn't want to move."
Ji Rangzhou was silent for a moment, then handed him the envelope he had prepared in his sleeve. "Give it to her for me. I'm leaving now."
He has a bad temper.
Without letting Ming Zhouqing send him off, Ji Rangzhou "abandoned" the Duke of Fuguo and went back to the Duke of Fuguo's mansion first.
Ming Zhouqing handed the bulging envelope to Ming Yuelin and rubbed her head. "Brother Ji gave this to you. Tell me how he offended you?"
"I won't tell you. Get out." Ming Yuelin slapped his hand away.
Ming Zhouqing had no choice but to leave.
Mingyuelin opened the envelope and found a piece of paper and a hairpin inside.
"Hmph, don't think you can appease me by giving me a hairpin. Giving a hairpin to a woman casually is frivolous."
She looked at the hairpin for a while, then opened the paper.
The four words written with vigorous brushstrokes and a slightly dignified and serious tone are: Don't hate me.
Ming Yuelin grabbed a corner of the paper, turned it over and over for a long time, and hummed softly: "You are still annoying. I won't see you even if you come to me again."
On the sixth day of the first lunar month, the court session began, and Ji Rangzhou was able to go to court to take up his duties.
Mingyuelin went to private school every day. When the weather got warmer, he started packing up to go to Runan for fun, temporarily putting Ji Rangzhou behind his mind.
Just treat her as your sister. She has so many brothers and sisters, who needs an extra brother? She is going to Runan to be her cousin's sister, and will come back after playing with her cousin enough. He, the non-blood brother from another family, will have to wait in line later.
After thinking about it, Mingyuelin wrote him a letter.
In mid-January, Mingyuelin set off for Runan.
After receiving her letter, Ji Rangzhou opened the envelope and said, "Brother Ji, I'm going to Runan. I told Uncle Ji not to go drink with my second uncle."
The word "big brother" is written in a heavy tone, clearly carrying emotion.
Ji Rangzhou slightly lowered the corners of his lips, and as he watched, he suddenly felt that her behavior was somewhat cute.
When Mingyuelin was having so much fun in Runan that she didn't want to leave, a letter came from the capital saying that Zhao was coming back. She happily packed her bags and headed for the capital.
Because she was delayed on the road, she was unable to return to Beijing before Mingzhao arrived, which made her feel a little regretful.
After meeting his elder brother whom he hadn't seen for six years, Mingyuelin followed him like a follower for a few days. After the novelty wore off, he followed Shi Jianli out to inspect the shop on his day off.
When I saw Li, she had been drawing a draft of clothes for the whole morning. After she went down from the third floor of Hua Simeng, she saw Tianfeng standing outside the door waiting for her.
"My two young ladies, the master invites you to Wuweizhai. The second and third young masters are also here."
Mingyuelin hesitated for a moment and then pulled Shi Jianli over.
After entering the private room, he casually glanced at the people inside and met Ji Rangzhou's eyes. Before leaving, Mingyue turned around and talked to Ming Zhaohuan, Ming Zhouqing and others.
While eating, her eyes wandered around. She looked at Ming Zhou and Shi Jianli who were picking up vegetables for her, then lowered her head to eat her own food.
When she glanced across, she saw someone looking at her. She lowered her head and ignored him, continuing to eat. After she finished eating, she pulled Shi Jianli away.
In early March, the Dali Temple suddenly became busy due to a news report of suspected cheating in the imperial examination. It was not until the end of March that the suspected officials were initially identified.
On his day off, Yu Heming invited Ji Rangzhou and Mingzhao to go to Weiran Pavilion on the outskirts of the city to enjoy the scenery.
Listening to Yu Heming recounting the "evil deeds" of some students in the Imperial College, Ji Rangzhou slowly sipped at the cup of warm tea, glancing at the open space not far below the Weiran Pavilion.
Looking carefully, Mingyuelin was flying kites with her sisters from the mansion.
"I'll be down for a moment."
Hearing Ming Zhaohuan's voice, Ji Rangzhou turned around and saw that Ming Zhaohuan had already taken several steps forward.
After glancing at his back, Ji Rangzhou stood up and stood outside the pavilion with his hands behind his back.
"Ji Youqian, what are you looking at?" Yu Heming asked from the side.
Ji Rangzhou casually replied, "Enjoying the scenery."
Not long after, Mingzhao came back and saw that he was also looking in Mingyuelin's direction. He asked, "You are already standing here, why didn't you come down with me just now?"
Ji Rangzhou then shifted his gaze and shook his head silently.
She would turn her head away from him, fearing that it would ruin her good mood.
At sunset, Ji Rangzhou separated from Ming Zhaohuan and Yu Heming and returned to the Fuguo Mansion. Thinking of Ming Zhaohuan's positive attitude today, he took the ink stick and ground ink.
I wanted to tell her in person, but since she didn't want to see him alone, I decided to give her the letter.
After sealing the letter, Ji Rangzhou handed it to Xing Zhao and said, "Send it to the Duke of Anguo's Mansion."
"Who is it for?" Xing Zhao looked down and saw that there was no name written on the envelope.
Ji Rangzhou raised his eyes and glanced at him: "Second Miss Ming."
"Yes, sir." Xing Zhao put the letter into his sleeve and went out.
If you hadn't told him, he would have thought it was for Prince Ming.
Ming Yuelin received the letter, opened it out of boredom, and read it through without thinking much. After realizing what he had read, he read it again with a smile on his face.
"Hmph, that's pretty good."
