Wu Er looked at the stunned brother of the Ji family and felt a little sorry for him.
But he did not stay long. He bowed again and followed the maid to the study.
Ji Mingyan followed behind with the bag of ingredients in one hand.
Therefore, the first time the three of them stepped into the study, Ji Yunxi and Ji Mingshuang noticed that their sixth brother was in a bad mood.
He looked distraught, as if he had suffered a blow.
But Wu Wei'an's eyes lit up, he let go of his brother's sleeve, walked a few steps to Ji Yunxi's bed, and said shyly: "Yun Niang, I missed you so much."
Ji Mingshuang: "..."
Ji Mingyan: “…”
Wu Er: “…”
On the contrary, Ji Yunxi, who knew he was acting, said calmly, "But I don't want to. We just met yesterday."
Wu Wei'an opened his mouth, then opened it again, with a sad but forcing expression: "No, it's okay, I just miss you alone."
Everyone: “…”
"Yes." Ji Yunxi nodded, pointed to the empty couch, and greeted the two people from the Wu family, "There is still some time before dinner, please sit down."
Therefore, the five people from the Ji and Wu families sat down strangely, caught in a weird atmosphere.
Of course, the future couple were both very relaxed and natural.
After Ji Yunxi finished flipping through the account book, she continued to read the miscellaneous books that she had not finished reading a few days ago.
I have been busy recently and I can finally take a break these days.
Wu Weian didn't look at anything, but sat obediently on the couch closest to Ji Yunxi, looking at Ji Yunxi affectionately, and occasionally eating cakes and drinking tea.
He completely ignored the two brothers of the Ji family who were glaring at him and looking at him coldly.
Moreover, I don’t know whether it was intentional or not.
Wu Weian would occasionally glance at his two brothers, then he would immediately look away in fear, leaning towards Ji Yunxi, as if his two brothers were trying to harm him.
Ji Mingshuang was so angry that he almost bit his teeth off.
Ji Mingyan clenched his fists, wishing he could rush up and bite off a piece of flesh from the person.
Chapter 20 Actually, my brother-in-law isn't that bad.
The atmosphere in the study was very strange.
Wu Er obviously felt it. He looked at his nose and his heart, picked up a book that would be used for the next spring examination, and pretended to read it.
Looking at Wu Weian's expression, Ji Mingyan couldn't stay any longer.
He was afraid that he would really rush up and bite or poison someone to death.
He pulled Ji Mingshuang out of the study.
Ji Mingyan: "What happened to Third Sister?"
Ji Mingshuang sighed: "I want to know too."
Ji Mingyan: "Haven't you been in the mansion all the time?"
Ji Mingshuang: "How should I know? Yang Weitian came to break off the engagement. She said she wanted to go to Faen Temple to relax, but she came back like this."
Ji Mingyan was heartbroken: "What on earth did she value about that man?"
Ji Mingshuang also looked confused and said, "My brother said that Ji San likes that person to be obedient."
Ji Mingyan: “…”
"Forget it, I'll go cook." Ji Mingyan carried the basket of ingredients and decided to out of sight, out of mind.
He will definitely show off his skills today and cook a few more delicious dishes to vent his anger!
Ji Mingshuang looked at him with an indescribable look in his eyes: "Ji Liu, why do you like cooking?"
When talking about his hobbies, Ji Mingyan's smile immediately brightened. "I like it, so why bother asking so many questions? Just like you like traveling and making friends."
Ji Mingshuang hesitated to speak: "But——"
Ji Mingyan looked at his seventh brother with his bright and flickering eyes: "What's wrong?"
Ji Mingshuang: "Forget it, it's nothing, go ahead."
-
It gets dark early in winter.
However, at the hour of Xu, it was dark outside, and all the candles in the Ji Mansion had been lit.
Outside, under the veranda, the dim, warm firelight set against the cotton-like snowflakes, achieving a wonderful balance between cold and warmth.
In the dining room, the silver charcoal in the stove was burning hot.
Ji Mingxi had just come back, his face red from the cold.
He sat down in the main seat and verbally addressed the two young masters of the Wu family: "How is the mansion today?"
Wu Wei'an usually didn't reply, so Wu Erdai, who was standing by, answered for him: "My Lord, everything is fine. Thank you, Third Miss, for the silver and charcoal you've sent me these days. Father asked me to thank everyone."
Wu Er has always been very likable.
Like his brother, he doesn't look outstanding, but overall he gives people a very good impression.
He is respectful, polite, kind and gentle.
Ji Mingxi talked to him for a few more words and asked him about his homework.
As for Wu Weian, who was clinging to Ji Yunxi...
Ji Mingxi sighed softly: "Is Mingyan still not well?"
Ji Ming crossed his arms over his chest and said, "Right away."
As expected, as soon as he finished speaking, servants from the mansion came in one after another carrying dishes.
As soon as you come in, you are greeted by the aroma of food.
Wu Weian subconsciously sniffed his nose.
Braised deer tendons in casserole, sweet-scented osmanthus fish strips, five-spice prawns...
There was even a hint of food in his eyes.
Until the dishes were served on the table.
Wu Weian: “…”
Wu Er: “…”
Ji Yunxi and Ji Mingshuang subconsciously looked at each other, with helplessness in their eyes.
Ji Mingyan, who came later, put down the porridge in his hand and served porridge to everyone enthusiastically.
Even for Wu Weian, the person he hated the most and wanted to poison to death, he poured a bowl of soup for him without holding a grudge.
Ji Mingyan has always been passionate about cooking and letting others enjoy his cooking skills.
Ji Yunxi and her brothers had tried to intervene many times since they were young, but it was all in vain.
Ji Yunxi and the others have already given up and can only accept their fate.
Ji Mingyan offered, "Try it quickly. This is the vegetable porridge I've been thinking about lately. It incorporates a variety of vegetables and is supplemented with a lot of medicinal herbs. It tastes good and is also very nourishing to the body."
