Chapter 294 The Night is Deep Again
After the matter of the elixir was explained clearly, the good sisters who shared the same quilt began to remain silent in the room.
Because there is no conversation, once people calm down and look at the two red plum blossoms on the bed, the wonderful scene can easily be repeated again and again in the silence.
Although she had had many beautiful dreams and was no longer unfamiliar with Ji You's galloping, she had never thought that her first encounter would be with Little Master Jian.
The wishes we made as children may seem innocent, but they are not made casually.
She couldn't help but glance at Yan Shuyi, and found that the little master's cheeks were slowly starting to turn red, but soon her almond-shaped eyes narrowed slightly, and she put on a very serious expression, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Sister Caiwei is indeed an upper fifth level alchemist. The effect of the back pain pill is really good."
"?"
Yuan Caiwei raised her head slightly with a clear bewilderment, and saw the young master talking indifferently.
Her eyes are very beautiful, with a hint of pink, which matches her small nose and cherry-red mouth, making her look cool and beautiful.
However, the words that came out of that little cherry-red mouth could not be understood directly.
Yesterday it was clearly the Liang Yi Huan Jing Dan, not the back pain pill.
After being at a loss for a long time, the daughter of Danzong suddenly understood what she meant by that sentence, and her red lips opened slightly.
You can't pretend it never happened, my sister is still full of childishness...
At this time, Ji You had already met with Kuang Cheng and others in the courtyard and discussed today's arrangements.
The procedures for Xinyuan are nothing more than those, cleaning, preparing food, strolling, dining together, and watching lanterns, but this year there is one more thing, which is posting Spring Festival couplets.
He used to live in Tianshuyuan, so there was naturally no need for such things to happen often. But this year he lived in Wuliu Commercial House, so he still had to observe the necessary customs.
As for Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu, they were looking at the window of Ji You's bedroom with curiosity.
They could see a vague figure inside and were sure it was their own master. All kinds of martial arts could not help but emerge in their minds.
While Ji You was chatting with Kuang Cheng, his eyes were also staring at his bedroom.
After confirming that the two women had gotten up, he felt that he should give them some time to wash up, so he asked Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu to make paste, and then sent everyone away under the pretext of going to hang paper lanterns and paste Spring Festival couplets.
"Brother Ji, why do you have such a faint smile on your face this morning?"
"Smile?"
Kuang Cheng pointed at the corner of his mouth and said, "Since leaving the house, the corner of Brother Ji's mouth has never drooped."
Ji You touched the corner of his mouth: "Is it that obvious?"
"It looks like something good is going to happen."
"Someone gave me a precious gift yesterday."
"?"
Ji You spread out the couplet, then he took the broom from Ding Yao's hand, smeared paste on the porch, pasted the couplet, and took a few steps back to take a look.
This is the storefront of Wuyou Trading Company. On the couplet is read: “I wish there is no hunger in the world, I would rather the grain in the warehouse gather dust”, and the horizontal banner reads: “May everything go smoothly and peacefully”.
Then they pasted some new yuan stickers, hung paper lanterns under the eaves, and returned to the yard.
After entering the courtyard, everyone saw Yan Shuyi in the tea pavilion.
She had already washed up and was wearing a light blue floor-length dress made of flowing gauze and silk. Her eyes were calm, and against the backdrop of the white snow on the ground, she looked like a goddess descending to the earth. She was drinking tea with her red lips slightly parted.
The little master's skin has always been fair, not inferior to Luoxue's, but today it has a hint of vivid pink.
I don't know what has changed, but it seems more charming now.
Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu couldn't help but look at each other, thinking that the owner of the inspection had indeed stayed overnight...
Moreover, he came to stay overnight so quietly, I'm afraid he had already given it to his son-in-law yesterday.
Some of the two felt gloomy, and their minds were filled with the scene described by the storyteller at Zuixianlou.
Why did the appraiser have to hide from the son-in-law instead of refusing directly? It was because he was spineless and was afraid that he would give it to him as soon as he asked, so he would rather pretend to be a stranger.
So the two felt that there was a high possibility that the examiner had lost her virginity.
But the next moment, the two of them immediately rejected this idea.
Because they saw Yuan Caiwei in the side hall. She had changed into a black silk skirt with a golden gourd and double happiness pattern, and was sitting in front of the tea table in the side hall, staring blankly.
They lived in the same courtyard, so they naturally knew that Yuan Caiwei was not in the courtyard yesterday, but they did not expect that she was also here with her brother-in-law.
It turns out that both of them came to stay overnight, so the chance of the judge being dragged to the endless life is small...
Given my mistress's personality, it's okay for her to be a little gentle in her brother-in-law's arms, but she will never show her gentleness to others.
Ji You also came to the yard at this time, looking at the woman who had been so intimate with him last night with soft eyes.
The two of them seemed to be deliberately keeping a distance from each other, as if to indicate that they had not been together and shouting "ah ah" last night.
"Sister Jianzhu, you came so early."
Wei Rui was the most innocent and simple-minded person. She waved happily when she saw Yan Shuyi.
She didn't know that the sister Yan she admired didn't leave early, but didn't run away last night.
Xiao Jianzhu originally wanted to pretend that nothing had happened, but she had no choice but to respond when Wei Rui called her, so she looked over in the direction of Wei Rui's voice, and when she caught a glimpse of Ji You, her eyes were as fierce as a raging snowstorm.
If an ordinary woman was wanted, the lover would hug her, kiss her and say some sweet words to her.
But Yan Shu is not an ordinary woman, and the situation last night was very complicated. There were other people in the yard. If she really did this, it would only make her draw her sword.
So Ji You pretended not to see it and called Kuang Cheng to paste the couplets in the house.
The couplets for the shops had been ordered long in advance, while the couplets in the courtyard were all written by Kuang Cheng, who brought a large stack.
Ji You selected and picked up the one with three wives and four concubines filling the backyard, with many beautiful girls and sons and daughters around him, bustling with people.
Kuang Cheng's eyes could not help but be startled. When he found that he really chose this picture, he could not help but be stunned: "Brother Ji, don't you dislike this picture? Do you feel angry after seeing it?"
"I like it today."
"?"
After Ji You applied the paste, he pasted the couplet. Looking at the four characters "many sons and many daughters", his brows could not help but slightly frowned. He was in a trance and was not sure whether the rain and dew were evenly distributed last night.
He smoothed out the wrinkles on the couplet, turned his head and looked in the direction of the tea pavilion, and found that the arrogant ghost was glancing at him out of the corner of his eyes. After reading it, his expression was as ferocious as the smooth little water tiger yesterday.
Kuang Cheng said softly beside him: "Fairy Yan loves to be jealous. I knew she would be angry when she saw this couplet."
"Maybe she's angry about the second line today."
"What's so annoying about this?"
Ji You shook his head: "I don't know either."
Kuang Cheng was puzzled for a while, and then he was called by Wei Rui to cut vegetables in preparation for tonight's New Year's Eve banquet.
Yuan Caiwei walked out of the room, lowered her head and walked in front of Ji You, whispering softly that she wanted to go back and asked him if it was okay.
Although the daughter of Danzong is gentle, she was not such a well-behaved and obedient person before.
But this inquiry completely showed that he would listen to Ji You in everything.
She flew countless times yesterday and had been thinking about it since early morning. It took her a long time to remember that she had a younger brother.
She remembered that she had agreed with Yuanchen yesterday that she didn't need to practice today and would come to Wuliu Trading Company to visit Xinyuan, but he hasn't shown up yet.
Yuan Caiwei didn't believe that he was practicing. The only possibility was that A-di stayed up late reading a storybook last night and hasn't gotten up yet.
So after getting Ji You's permission, the daughter of Danzong went towards the Wei family's villa.
Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu went to paste window paper-cuts, and were then arranged by Ji You to go shopping on the street to buy some things that Xinyuan would need.
Then the courtyard suddenly became quiet, leaving only Ji You and the young master of Lingjian Mountain.
Ji You discovered that Yan Shu was also secretly looking at him, but when he turned his head away, he quickly looked away.
Seeing this scene, he put down the paste and broom, walked towards the fairy in the tea pavilion, sat next to her and watched her for a long time, and couldn't help pinching her rosy cheeks.
In the past, I always thought that she had a cute contrast. She had the majesty of a judge, but also the tenderness and loveliness of an ordinary woman.
But after seeing her curled up in his arms and whimpering "husband" last night, he no longer felt any majesty. He only felt that she was soft and cute.
Yan Shuyi did not react to his arrival, as if she was a cold-blooded fairy who looked down on everyone. However, as he sat down, her cheeks began to turn red and a hint of fear flashed in her eyes.
"You are just a disciple of Tianshu Academy, why don't you kneel down and pay your respects to me?"
"You are so naughty. I would like to ask why Master Jian pretended to be asleep and ignored me this morning?"
"Kneel down and I will tell you."
Ji You recalled the scene where she knelt for half the night and tried her best to persuade him. He knew that she was feeling unbalanced and wanted him to kneel back down.
Yan Shuyi looked at him and muttered again: "Little disciple of Tianshuyuan..."
"The master knows clearly that this name is biased."
"?"
Xiao Jianzhu frowned slightly, thinking that this is how he had called you a disciple of Xiaoxiaotian Academy before, so how could it be unfair?
Then she suddenly remembered the thing that made her scream last night, and her eyes became sharper.
The first time I saw it was at the Tiandao Association. At that time, I took a quick glance at it in order to take away my shoes and socks, so I couldn’t see it clearly, but I was still shocked.
What he saw most clearly was when he was asleep in Anyuan City, and he was terrified for a long time.
But she knew very little about men, and didn't know that one should not talk to men when they are not interested, so it was not until last night that she saw the most terrifying look.
Ji You picked up a melon seed from the tea tray, peeled it gently and handed it to him: "Open your mouth."
"I'm going to beat you to death..."
"It's just melon seeds, nothing else."
Yan Shuyi felt the melon seeds enter his mouth, and his eyes became even more eager.
Although she took the initiative in the first round last night, she was basically fed up in the following times, so now she is a little stressed and gets angry at the thought of it.
Ji You peeled a few more and fed them to her: "Actually, I have already asked about what happened last night. Although it was a problem with the pills, it was bound to happen. It's hard to tell who is right or wrong."
Yan Shuyi's eyelashes trembled slightly: "I wonder if there is any elixir."
"Yuan Caiwei has already admitted it, and she also told me the whole process of you asking her to make the elixir."
"I don't know what Yuan Caiwei is."
"Who am I then?"
"A strange man, a friend of Rui'er's lover."
Yan Shuyi was reluctant to say that he didn't know him, nor did he dare to say that he was a disciple of Xiaoxiaotian Academy.
However, for many of the remaining questions, she answered "I don't know" in an attitude of "I didn't, I didn't eat, I didn't do it, I didn't scream", which made the corners of his mouth twitch uncontrollably.
Just like the last kiss, as long as you don’t admit it, it didn’t happen.
In fact, it was nothing for the Little Master Jian of Lingjian Mountain to simply practice dual cultivation with Ji You. Although she did not admit it, she liked Ji You in her heart, otherwise she would not allow Zhuo Wanqiu to call him uncle all the time, and would not come to see him whenever she had time.
But when she thought about how she was fed on her knees yesterday, and how she curled up in his arms and kept calling him "husband", she wanted to escape.
Especially when he was threatened, he admitted in a daze that he was Xiao Shuihu.
That person wasn't her, she couldn't be the same as she was last night.
"Why did you wake up in my yard this morning?"
"I just arrived a little early."
"Where did you sleep yesterday?"
"Wei Family Villa."
"If you get pregnant, you can't call me uncle anymore."
When Yan Shuyi heard his words, he looked at his lower abdomen and couldn't help but narrow his eyes, then he punched him.
Yuan Caiwei and Yuan Chen quickly came back from the Wei family's villa. The young man, who was about seventeen or eighteen years old, came in a hurry. After seeing Ji You, he went into the tea pavilion, while Yuan Caiwei followed slowly behind him.
"Brother-in-law, little sister, do you know what happened? My sister seems to be much gentler, but her voice is a little hoarse."
Yan Shuyi narrowed his eyes after hearing this, while Yuan Caiwei outside the pavilion turned her eyes away.
A lot of things happened last night, which were even more exciting than what Zuixianlou did not allow him to hear, and could not be told to outsiders.
Ji You turned his head and glanced at Yuan Chen's dark circles, then changed the subject appropriately: "Did you really stay up late to read the storybook?"
"No, I stayed up late last night to refine what my sister gave me."
“Is this true or false?”
Yuan Chen pursed his lips and said, "The New Year is almost over, so I plan to hurry up and don't want to disappoint my sister again."
He finished mumbling to himself and then quickly went to the kitchen to see what dishes were available today.
The three people who were left alone looked at each other. Yuan Caiwei's face turned red first, and then the frosty-faced Xiao Jianzhu's cheeks also gradually turned red.
However, this atmosphere was soon broken. Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu, who had gone out to buy things, returned with large and small bags. They put down their things and came to the tea pavilion.
After the elixir from Danzong was sent to Lingjian Mountain, it was given out a few days ago. The disciples in the mountain just received a message and were brought into the courtyard by them.
Yan Shuyi took this opportunity to drive Ji You away, claiming that this was the mystery of Lingjian Mountain and outsiders were not allowed to listen in, which left Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu stunned.
They felt that the judge was a little strange today, and his voice was hoarse for some reason.
After being driven away, Ji You could only go to the kitchen to help with cooking and act as a light bulb for Wei Rui and Kuang Cheng.
"Brother Ji, how about a simple chicken soup for lunch?"
“Add some red dates.”
"That's good, what about the twice-cooked pork?"
“Add some red dates, too.”
"?"
As the smoke from the cooking stove rose, lunch was served into the hall.
Yan Shuyi and Yuan Caiwei saw that every dish was filled with red dates, and their cheeks puffed up when they thought of the two flowers blooming on the bed sheet.
【The dog thief’s concern】
However, at the time of Shen, the sky had already darkened a little. The streets were lit with red lights and the sound of string music was heard, spreading from far away throughout the streets and alleys.
Ji You changed clothes with everyone else and went out together, walking into the streets of Shengjing.
The ten-mile-long street is brightly lit like day. Colorful lanterns are hung in front of the red doors and embroidered houses. Peonies made of silk and gauze and carps made of gold foil sway gently in the night breeze, making the bluestone road shine brightly.
Along the moat, thousands of lotus lanterns drifted along the water. The wicks were soaked in tung oil, burning out trembling halos on the water, which together with the reflections of the lanterns on the shore were shattered into golden scales all over the river.
Yan Shuyi did not go with Ji You and kept staring at Yuan Caiwei.
Ji You had been looking forward to swimming with Ru like him, but after a fierce battle yesterday, he is now alone.
However, this situation did not last long. When the whole city was full of colorful lights, Yan Shu couldn't help but follow. Even Yuan Caiwei walked to his left side, looking at the lights and following his figure.
The group strolled along the road and came to a theater, where they were attracted by the lively scene.
King Chong invited a troupe to sing Qingyun's traditional piece Ascension in the Day, and many people gathered at the scene.
Ji You found a secluded place and just as he stood there, he saw two people coming up to him, standing next to him and staring down, with colorful eyes.
Yan Shuyi was getting close to him, almost snuggling into his arms, but she herself seemed unaware of it.
Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu followed right behind their master, and couldn't help but whisper to each other in the crowded theater as they followed him along the way.
"Master Jian is acting strange today. He has been cold to my son-in-law all morning. He was also very jealous when he looked at Yuan Caiwei. He even said he didn't want to go shopping with my son-in-law when he left the house just now."
"She becomes so well-behaved as she walks. She goes wherever her uncle tells her to go, and she walks with a clattering sound."
"I'm almost in your arms..."
The two of them looked at the appraiser in front of them, who was hugged by their brother-in-law. Her fair hands grasped her brother-in-law's arms, and she swayed lightly on her toes.
Once attention is diverted, it is difficult for a person to maintain the personality they are performing.
At this moment, even Yan Shuyi herself discovered that when she forgot to pretend to be aloof, she seemed to be more attached to the strange man.
However, when he was returning, the young master remembered what happened last night again, and his eyes became cold and arrogant, with a look of hostility.
At nightfall, the New Year banquet, which had been prepared for a day, began.
Although they often get together on weekdays, it is rare for them to be together like this, so they had a great time the whole night.
After eating and drinking, Wei Rui and Kuang Cheng were going to the poetry meeting in the city, Yuan Chen was going to continue watching the Ascension in Broad Daylight, and Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu were ordered to watch Yuan Chen and take a walk around.
It was their first time to come to Shengjing to celebrate the new year. They were so focused on looking at their own master that their minds were empty when they came back.
After everyone left, the yard became quiet. Ji You sat at the tea table in the side hall, brewed tea, and then leaned over to throw some charcoal into the furnace.
Yan Shuyi and Yuan Caiwei were in front of him, holding their teacups and drinking silently.
"It's late again."
"?"
