She followed Li Zhi to a bamboo house located behind Li's ancestral hall. It was very empty, with only a few Eight Immortals tables and a dozen matching bamboo chairs.
There are two pots on each table. One pot contains tea for the children to drink, and the other pot contains wine for the adults to taste.
There were a lot of people crowded in the room right now, and Li Li was among them. When she saw Li Zhi coming back, she hurriedly went to greet him.
Li Zhi also happened to have something to say to her, so he invited her to go outside and talk in detail.
Jin Yunlan stood alone at the door, facing into the room, meeting Li Tang's gaze not far away, and was quickly led to her seat by Li Qiang.
Li Zhi stood outside the door and glanced with concern at Jin Yunlan inside the room. After seeing that she was like a fish in water among a group of children, he felt relieved and chatted with Li Li.
He said: "My brother made his own decision in this matter, so you don't have to worry about it. I will explain the situation to the clan members."
Li Li shook her head: "It doesn't matter. In fact, I also understand his approach. That girl is from the Jinyun tribe after all. He is just worried about you and afraid that you will get hurt."
Li Zhi said: "It seems that he talks to you about everything."
Li Li smiled bitterly and said: "He just saw that my two families live close to each other and wanted to vent his bitterness to me. He had no other intention."
Li Zhi disagreed: "You don't have to help him. What he did today is really unreasonable. I think I should give him a punch so that he can understand."
Li Li lowered her head, her face showing the grievance and sadness she had endured for a long time. She frowned, tears overflowed from the corners of her eyes, and she cried: "I want to beat him too."
Li Zhi looked back and glared at his brother. His sudden actions today made the two girls cry one after another, which was really a crime. He clenched his fists and thought in his heart, it was time for a fight between brothers.
Discussed.
As he was gearing up, there was suddenly a loud "bang" in his ears, followed by a commotion in the room, and a group of people looked around the corner.
Li Zhi quickly broke through the door and came to the place where the eyes were gathered. Among the crowd, he saw Jin Yunlan who was drunk and unconscious on the ground.
"What's going on?" he asked everyone with a frown.
Little Qiangwei replied at a loss: "I just poured her a cup of longevity tea. She drank a cup."
Li Zhi raised the teacup and smelled it, and he suddenly became enlightened. He sighed: "This is wine."
Little Qiangwei took a breath, "I made a mistake."
Li Tang came closer, touched Little Qiangwei's head comfortingly, and said: "This wine has a strong aftertaste, so it's okay for us to drink it, but she is a foreigner, so it's normal for her to drink just one cup. Move her to rest and have a good sleep.
It doesn’t matter if you take the time.”
What he said made sense, and Li Zhi temporarily put aside her resentment towards him and listened to his words. He bent down and picked Jin Yunlan up from the ground, and took her home with swift strides.
Jin Yunlan slept until midnight. When she suddenly woke up, the surroundings were dark. Her mind had not completely returned, but when her fingers were groping on the quilt, they touched the warm fingertips of another person, which made her
surprised.
Li Zhi, who was lying on the edge of the bed, opened his eyes and saw the figure shaking in front of him, and asked casually: "Are you awake?"
"What time is it now?" Jin Yunlan realized the seriousness of the matter, her voice was already trembling.
Li Zhi glanced at the sky outside the window and said dumbly: "It will be dawn in another hour."
A thunderbolt flashed over Jin Yunlan's head with a "kuacha" sound.
It’s over, she missed Xiuxiu’s birthday perfectly.
She couldn't imagine that before the banquet started, her family members searched everywhere for her to no avail, and were finally forced to make up the reasons for her absence to the guests one by one.
She jumped out of bed and tied up her long hair in a hurry.
Li Zhi looked at her in confusion as she was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, spinning around in circles while muttering, "It's over, it's over, it's over!"
Jin Yunlan didn't even have time to explain, so she broke out of the door.
Li Zhi stared at her in confusion, her figure running away gradually became smaller and smaller, then suddenly turned back like a gust of wind.
She held her waist and gasped out of breath: "Azhi, happy birthday. I wish you... a long happy life and a healthy life." After saying this, she walked swiftly and disappeared into the last darkness before dawn.
A smile slowly appeared on Li Zhi's face.
"fool."
Jin Yunlan hurriedly landed on the roof of her boudoir before dawn. She jumped down quietly and climbed in through the back window. As she turned to close the window, she noticed a strange noise behind her.
Her cheeks were numb, her eyes suddenly widened, and she turned around anxiously.
Yuanyuan held a lantern, approached quickly with an unkind expression, lowered his voice and asked: "Miss, where have you been?"
Jin Yunlan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the person coming. She brushed off the dust from her body and asked, "How was it last night?"
He answered without hesitation: "The commotion was not caused. The guests also asked about your whereabouts. The patriarch covered it for you and said that you were sent to deal with urgent matters. You can't leave at the moment."
Jin Yunlan patted her chest and felt relieved for the time being. While she poured herself a cup of tea, she admired her father's extraordinary ability to adapt to changes in circumstances.
Yuanman was furious when she saw how heartless she was. She smashed the lamp on the table in front of her, stuck it on her waist, and couldn't help scolding her master: "Miss, you know last night, Miss
Because you didn't show up for your appointment, I yelled at you as a liar and cried inconsolably. No one tried to persuade me, and I continued to fuss until the end of the dinner before I fell asleep due to exhaustion."
When Jin Yunlan heard this, her face suddenly turned livid. She bit her lip until all the blood was gone. She reached into her clothes to look for the longevity lock, but found it was empty. She then groped her whole body, but to no avail.
She lowered her head dejectedly, wondering what was going on.
"Miss, did you go to Kongshan? You couldn't go at any time. You had to choose this time to go. If you went, it would be fine to come back earlier, but you didn't come back all night. Are you too undisciplined?" Yuanyuan was furious, and for a moment
The wording is a bit excessive.
Jin Yunlan felt uncomfortable, but she calmly explained the cause and effect of the matter to her in detail: "I didn't know, everything happened in a hurry. I thought that the great elder would arrive at some time.
In Luocheng, it happened that the owner of a silk and satin shop came to deliver clothes. It would have been a long night and many people, so I went up the mountain to deliver the clothes and told Li Zhi that I would not go there often. I had calculated the time, but I accidentally made a mistake in the empty mountain.
After eating a glass of wine, I was so drunk that I didn't wake up until late at night."
After hearing this, Yuanyuan couldn't find anything to blame. He was defeated for a moment and sat down at the round table with her and sighed, "There is no other way. You'd better go to my little lady and apologize quickly. The eldest young master has already told us
We can’t deal with it anymore. The relationship between the sisters is about to break up again, and I don’t know how many rifts will arise with Jialan Yuan. Miss, you are not born from Madam’s belly after all. You must do your best to save face."
Jin Yunlan nodded distractedly.
At dawn, she rushed to Jialan Courtyard and went to Xiu Xiu to apologize.
The patriarch's wife happened to open the door and come out. When she got up, she didn't look as energetic as before. There was a tired look in the corners of her eyes and brows. It seemed that what Wanwanwan said was true. Xiuxiu was indeed noisy until very late last night.
When the lady came to her, she did not show any blaming emotions, but came with the same warmth and concern as a spring breeze: "Lan'er is here. You worked hard last night, and your father sent her to deal with urgent matters."
Jin Yunlan lowered her head guiltily and nodded hesitantly.
Madam understood and pushed open the door of Xiuxiu's room, thinking that the child who made a fuss last night was sleeping deeply now. Madam stepped forward and pushed her shoulder gently, waking her up softly.
"Xiuxiu, wake up quickly, my sister is here to see you."
Xiu Xiu blinked her hazy sleepy eyes and spent some time pondering the meaning of this sentence. After she came to her senses, she pulled up the quilt and covered her head tightly, kicking and screaming through the thin quilt, "
I don’t want to see her, I hate my sister, she is a liar, I don’t want to see her!”
Jin Yunlan stood outside the door. When she heard these words, her heart trembled and she was very sad.
The lady quickly tried to persuade her: "Xiuxiu, don't talk nonsense. My sister finished her official duties and came here without stopping. Look at the sunrise outside, she is standing outside the door. She is waiting to see you in a hurry."
"It's late! It was my birthday last night, and I clearly agreed to show up. I couldn't wait until I came, and I couldn't wait for you. Now, what's the use? My brother is right, my sister doesn't take me to heart at all. I hate it.
Her! I don’t want to see her, you let her go.”
The child began to cry, and his overwhelming posture was something that the lady's soft-tempered person could not withstand. She finally couldn't resist it, exited the door, wiped the sweat from her temples, and comforted Jin Yunlan again, "Lan'er, don't do it.
Take Xiu Xiu's words to heart. She is just angry for a moment. Let me talk to her and it will be fine in two days." She reached out and picked off a bamboo leaf that was interspersed in her hair.
Jin Yunlan tried her best to smile, but her depressed mood did not get much relief.
The lady patted her on the shoulder and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
While looking at Xiuxiu's bed door, she slowly left. She was met by Jin Yunchong's gloating taunts: "The eldest sister is back. The eldest sister is now so highly regarded that she has no time to even attend the family reunion day. She is busy with official duties."
Troubled. I wonder where in Luo City last night my eldest sister was relieving people's worries? But also, when did you take us mediocre brothers and sisters in your eyes? You are Miss Jinyun who has attracted much attention, and we
But how can a reckless person be compared with you?"
Jin Yunlan glanced at him dejectedly, smiled palely, and said in a calm but powerful voice: "Jin Yun Chong, is that all you have? Jealousy has made you crazy, right?" This chapter has been completed!
