Chapter 61 Ready to go
The next day, a carriage slowly drove out of the inn and headed west.
The man in the carriage was wearing a crescent-white robe embroidered with gold thread, and a white jade pendant tied around his waist. His eyes were as dark and deep as the stars in the vast starry sky.
He has a slender figure, a handsome face, and the sunny and heroic spirit of a young man between his brows.
"Weiyu, how long until we arrive?"
Zhuo Yibai opened the car curtain and looked out. The voice was clear and pleasant.
As soon as he lifted the curtains of his car, his eye-catching face attracted many girls on the street to look sideways.
He looked helpless and lowered the curtain again.
The carriage slowly headed west.
"Master Qi, we can reach it in more than three miles." Wei Yu, who was driving, said.
Zhuo Yibai nodded, said no more, turned around and continued to sleep with his eyes closed.
"Xu..."
A long roar spread throughout the suburbs, and the carriage suddenly stopped.
Zhuo Yibai opened his eyes suddenly and glanced outside, a look of doubt flashing in his eyes.
Wei Yu jumped out of the car, bowed respectfully and said, "Sir, in front of you is one of the troops heading south."
Zhuo Yibai opened the car curtain and saw a group of people galloping towards them on the street not far away.
Those people were all dressed in black costumes and riding on horses, looking majestic.
This road is obviously impassable, so we have to wait patiently or abandon the car and walk.
"Sir, should we take a detour?" the man driving the car asked.
Zhuo Yibai shook his head, pondered for a moment, and said, "No need."
He was a little anxious in his heart and did not have the leisure to wait. He ordered: "Pack your things and take them with you. Let's be on our way."
"Yes, sir." Wei Yu responded respectfully, immediately got into the carriage and packed his luggage.
"Sir, these are all things that may be used today." Wei Yu said with a smile, "Of course, this one is the most important."
He took out an exquisite long box from his sleeve and handed it to Zhuo Yibai.
Zhuo Yibai glanced at it and reached out to take it.
After thinking about it, I opened it and checked it with some worry.
I saw a stack of scrolls lying inside, which were exactly the ones Zhou Ru brought yesterday.
Strangely, the picture at the top is not that of Miss Ye.
Zhuo Yibai unfolded all the stacks of paintings, and his eyes fell on each painting. After looking through them all, he still couldn't find the painting.
His expression suddenly changed and his pupils narrowed.
"Master?"
When Wei Yu saw this, he shouted in surprise.
The young master's face looks so ugly. Is there something wrong with that painting?
Zhuo Yibai ignored him, but spread out all the scrolls and checked them carefully, but the result was still the same.
"Did someone switch the job?"
Zhuo Yibai frowned.
He had seen those paintings before dinner last night, and Miss Ye's portrait was prominently among them.
I'm afraid there are not many people in Prince Zhuo's Mansion who dare to enter his house at will after dark.
Zhuo Yibai put the scrolls into the envelope and told the man driving the car: "Let's go back."
"Yes, sir." The man driving the car responded, turned the horse around, and returned to the original road.
Not long after the carriage left, Xue Huaidan rode a fast horse and hurried back to Ye Mansion with a group of guards.
He turned over and dismounted at the door and walked straight towards the main hall, looking arrogant.
Mrs. Xue, who had been waiting there for a long time, came out with a smile on her face.
Mrs. Xue was wearing a sapphire blue silk dress and a huge East Pearl necklace around her neck. She looked very wealthy.
"Mother, it's done!" Xue Huaidan smiled at the old lady and cupped her hands, saying.
Mrs. Xue raised her eyebrows slightly, looking extremely pleased.
In this way, they can finally take action.
She sent the maid aside: "Please invite Zhaoyan and Fugui!"
"Yes." The maid responded and walked out quickly.
At this time, Xue Zhiyan was walking into a side courtyard of Ye Mansion, accompanied by a smart maid holding a tray in her hand.
In the slightly rough and narrow courtyard, a young man sat in front of a stone table, holding a writing brush in his hand. While looking at something seriously, he dipped the pen in ink and wrote beautiful regular script.
Xue Zhiyan took steps, but the young man didn't even raise his eyelids.
She had no choice but to cough lightly and walk forward.
"Young Master Ji, these are the clothes my grandmother customized for you. Please accept them." Xue Zhiyan winked at the smart maid beside her.
The maid understood, smiled and handed the tray to Ji Sinian, bowed and said: "Young Master Ji, please taste it!"
Hearing this, Ji Sinian stopped writing, raised his head and glanced at the girl who was standing upright beside him, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, and said, "Send me some clothes?"
With a slight smile on her face, Xue Zhiyan said warmly: "On my grandmother's order, I came here to give you some clothes. Please wear them, Young Master Ji."
I saw two pieces of men's clothing with different styles on the tray. A blue brocade dress with a white soft satin waist. The hem of the dress was painted with blooming peach blossoms. The texture was clear and smooth, very beautiful and eye-catching, and it was in line with the aesthetics of the Ye family.
The other piece is lavender, with bright and gorgeous colors and exquisite embroidery work. It is embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns, which looks quite elegant and has an outstanding temperament.
Xue Zhiyan pushed the two sets of brocade clothes in front of Ji Sinian and said with a smile: "Young hero Ji, my grandmother said that the young hero is tall and straight, so he will definitely fit well in them."
When Ji Sinian heard this, he was slightly stunned.
The lavender one is a bit heavy and the color is too gorgeous, but the blue one is refreshing and neat.
He put down the pen in his hand, picked up the blue brocade suit on the table, and looked at it carefully.
The blue brocade robe was embroidered with complicated patterns, and a circle of peach petals was outlined with gold thread on the cuffs, which were lifelike, as if they were really about to bloom.
Xue Zhiyan came closer and whispered: "This is the color that sister Zhaoyan likes..."
Before she could finish her words, she was stared at by Ji Sinian's sharp eyes, which made her whole body tremble. She quickly shut up, laughed twice, and then took a step back.
He stared at Xue Zhiyan for a moment, then suddenly raised his lips and smiled.
There was a layer of mist in those clear, water-like eyes, as if there was some emotion surging, which was hard to fathom.
"Is it possible that Miss Xue wants to make the decision for me?"
Ji Sinian asked in a calm tone.
Although the matter between him and Ye Zhaoyan was inevitable, as long as it was not settled, it would always be unfair.
The meaning of Miss Xue and her grandmother being so attentive can be imagined.
These people are probably plotting against Ye Zhaoyan again.
He was also included in the calculation.
Xue Zhiyan was stunned for a moment, with a look of embarrassment on her face, "Of course it's up to Young Master Ping Ji."
"Miss Xue is a smart person."
Hearing this, Xue Zhiyan lowered her eyelids slightly to hide the viciousness in her eyes.
Ji Sinian sneered, "Then..."
Before he finished speaking, he threw all the brocade clothes on the plate to the ground, turned around and walked towards the room.
"Hey!" Xue Zhiyan quickly chased after him.
"Young Master Ji, what are you..." Xue Zhiyan looked at the young man in front of her in confusion, a look of panic flashed across her face, "How could you throw your grandmother's heart to the ground?"
Her voice was a little aggrieved, and she seemed to feel sorry for the clothes.
"Why do Miss Xue family need to be so pretentious and ask questions knowingly?"
Ji Sinian's eyes stopped at the peach blossom texture on the cuffs of the clothes, and his eyes darkened.
The color and embroidery are clearly based on the woman's preferences.
Could it be that he wanted to create evidence that the two of them were "privately communicating with each other"?
When Xue Zhiyan heard his words, her expression suddenly changed.
"I...what do you mean?"
"literal meaning."
Xue Zhiyan gritted her teeth and glared at the young man in front of her.
This guy is so annoying!
However, coming from a family of swordsmen in the south of the Yangtze River, no matter how famous he is, he dares to pretend to be so noble in the Ye Mansion, which is really shameless.
Xue Zhiyan cursed him a thousand times in her heart, but she still maintained a pitiful expression on her face, stroking her weak and boneless arms with one hand.
She looked at Ji Sinian with a hurt look on her face, "I don't understand what you are talking about?"
"Don't act stupid."
Ji Sinian sneered and looked at the girl in front of him coldly, "You know very well what I said."
If his guess is correct, the person in front of him is not just giving him clothes.
Once you wear this clothes, I'm afraid there will be consequences...
