As the hour approaches, the full sun hanging in the sky loses its vitality and struggles to stay on the Western Mountain. The sunset fills the sky and blends with the twilight. At first glance, it seems to be seven parts warm and three parts comfortable.
On the streets north of Yunhuai City, people after a busy day dragged their exhausted bodies towards their homes. In order to avoid them, a delicate carriage slowed down and advanced slowly.
In the carriage, Jiu'er's delicate white hands opened the curtain, looked at the environment outside, and said: "Master Tang, where are you planning to take us? Can we get back to Linxi Lane before the curfew?"
"
Tang Ji played with the wooden jigsaw puzzle and said with a smile: "You will know in a while."
Jiang Ran's jade eyes looked out the window. This was the first time in more than ten years that she felt free. From now on, she no longer had to please anyone for a living, and she no longer had to listen to the dirty words in the audience while playing music. She wanted everything.
Thank you to the man beside you.
Thinking of this, her eyes retracted and fell on Tang Ji again.
That day in the small courtyard, I thought he was just like everyone else, making duplicitous promises to himself, but I didn't expect that he was different from anyone else. For himself, he went from being penniless to being rich and would work hard for months.
Yu Cai used all the money he earned to redeem her life... There was a time when she was tired of the mortal world and planned to die alone, but he told himself that he might meet a true love in the future.
Now it seems that she has indeed met it!
At this moment, the carriage stopped steadily. Tang Jizheng was about to get up, but found that Jiang Ran was still in a daze. He stretched out his hand and waved in front of her: "What is going on in your little head? You are starting to think wildly again.
Already?"
Hearing this, Jiang Ran came back to his senses and turned slightly red: "Are you here?"
"Well, let's go, get out of the car." Tang Ji nodded slightly, saw that Jiu'er had already gotten out of the car, and followed him out.
He landed easily, stretched out his hand to Jiang Ran, and led her down.
Jiu'er stretched out and looked at the building in front of him, with blue bricks and pink walls, red tiles and green tiles, jade railings and red tiles. The high door beams were carved with beautiful patterns, which looked lifelike. There was a piece of wood hanging on the brown door.
There is a plaque with gold characters on a black background, and the three characters "Ji Ranju" are written in flying colors on it.
Jiang Ran turned to look at Tang Ji and asked curiously: "Is this the surprise you said?"
Tang Ji nodded: "We will live here from now on!"
Jiu'er raised the corners of her mouth, revealing her two dimples. People in Linxi Alley always talked about the young lady behind her back. Especially after Li Daniu made a rebate incident, she could often hear abuse. It might as well be moved here.
He asked with a smile: "Mr. Tang, this house should cost a lot of money!"
Tang Jiqing sighed, this mansion was indeed not cheap, and with the decoration and furniture inside, it was almost worth the price of redeeming Jiang Ran's life, but he was indeed quite satisfied, so he asked Li Yu to pay the money and planned to
Return it to the other person slowly.
Unexpectedly, Mother Yang also gave him a surprise in Yuexian Tower, so that he could pay off his debt almost next month.
Soon, he shook his head to recover his thoughts and said to the two of them: "Okay, don't talk about whether it's expensive or not, just live comfortably. Come in and have a look. You two won't have to squeeze into the same bed in the future!"
"Yes, yes, young lady, I don't know who she will live with in the future!" Jiu'er pursed her lips, pretending to be aggrieved.
After hearing her words, Jiang Ran sneered: "You damn girl!"
"Ah, miss, I was wrong."
Just like that, the two women chased each other and ran towards the courtyard.
Tang Ji turned around and said to Pang Qing: "Uncle Pang, would you like to come in and sit down?"
"Hahaha, let's do it tomorrow, it's not too early today." Pang Qinghan smiled and scratched his head.
The two guards of Prince You's Mansion looked at each other, clasped their fists and said, "Mr. Tang, we have to go back to pay our dues."
Upon hearing this, Tang Ji politely returned the greeting and said a few more polite words. He watched the three people leave and followed them into the courtyard.
Jiranju is different from other luxurious mansions. Although the main entrance is also built into the house, it is relatively short. Walking into the front yard, an open jade-colored stone road divides the entire yard into two. On the left hand side is a flower planted
The ancient trees are surrounded by patches of bamboo forest, including a pointed pavilion. On the other side is a clear stream. Various flowers and plants are planted nearby. There is also a rockery near the courtyard wall.
.
The end of the trail is divided into three, the east path leads to the servants' residence, the end of the west path houses stables, utility rooms, etc., and the middle path leads directly to the reception hall.
After the front hall is the inner courtyard, which is divided into the main hall, side courtyards, main courtyard, restaurant, backyard, wing rooms, etc. In general, it is extremely luxurious.
After wandering around for a while, Jiu'er opened her mouth in shock. When she saw Tang Ji following him, she quickly asked, "Mr. Tang, do we really have to live here in the future?"
Tang Ji stretched out his hand and pinched her nose: "Will I lie to you again?"
At this moment, a skinny old man in gray clothes, about fifty years old, walked over with a smile, bowed his hands towards Tang Ji and saluted: "Master."
"Uncle Xu, how many times have I told you, just call me Young Master." Tang Ji replied with a wry smile. According to current customs, he is not considered an adult until he is twenty years old, so he is called a minor.
The master is very strange.
He coughed lightly, raised his hand and pointed at the two girls: "Introduce Jiang Ran and Jiu'er."
From the first day he came here, Uncle Xu knew that the character "Ran" in the middle of Ji Ran represented Jiang Ran. In other words, the woman in front of him would be the mistress of this mansion from now on. He quickly saluted and said, "I have met Madam."
"Ahem." Tang Ji coughed twice and reminded, "Uncle Xu, just call me Miss Jiang for now."
"Oh, I've met Miss Jiang." Uncle Xu continued.
The blush on Jiang Ran's face deepened before it disappeared. She lowered her head slightly and said softly: "Uncle Xu, there is no need to be polite."
Tang Ji stretched out because he wanted to give her a surprise today. The whole Ji Ranju had been put into operation three days ago, so the food should have been prepared. He rubbed his belly and said, "Let's go, let's go have dinner first!"
But as soon as he finished speaking, he found many little maids hiding behind the wall not far away and peeking.
Uncle Xu also noticed this situation, his face changed slightly, and he shouted loudly: "Whatever you are looking at, come over here!"
Immediately, a dozen little maids quickly stood in front of Tang Ji and the others.
Xu Bo moistened his throat and continued: "You all remember, this is Miss Jiang, and she will be the mistress of Ji Ranju from now on. If anyone does the rude behavior just now, the money will be deducted.
The most important thing is to hit the board!"
Hearing this, the maids immediately calmed down and put their hands on their waists, saluting: "Yes!"
Jiang Ran shook his head nonchalantly and said softly: "Don't be so cautious, I won't deduct your fees or make any mistakes."
"Miss Jiang, please don't indulge them. There is a difference between master and servant. If they should be reprimanded..." Uncle Xu wanted to explain to Jiang Ran, but was interrupted by Tang Ji raising his hand.
"Just do as she says. Okay, okay, let's eat." Tang Ji didn't want his family to be bound by so many rules, but Uncle Xu was found by Li Yu and had a rather old-fashioned mind. Let's get along with him for a while first.
Try it and if it doesn't work, change it.
When the master spoke, Uncle Xu calmed down, turned around and said, "The dinner is ready, sir."
Tang Ji walked towards the inner courtyard with his two daughters, but after taking a few steps, he found that his arm was grabbed by Jiu'er, and asked curiously: "What's wrong?"
"Mr. Tang, I am still Miss's personal maid, right?" She didn't want to be replaced. After all, she had taken care of Miss for so many years, and no one knew her better than her.
Tang Ji chuckled and said jokingly: "Of course I have to change it. Wine is so delicious, but I can't afford to feed you!"
"Can't eat, can't eat!" Jiu'er grabbed Jiang Ran's sleeves anxiously, but realized that he was teasing her, snorted softly, and complained: "Miss, he bullied me!"
Jiang Ranke still remembered the scene where this girl was talking nonsense not long ago, and her beautiful eyes turned slightly: "I think he is right!"
"Ah, ah, no, miss, I was wrong!" Jiu'er pouted and begged for mercy.
