Chapter 164 Guan Ji’s Thoughts
Guan Ji bit her lower lip after traveling day and night. She originally wanted to go directly to Feng Yong, but now she hesitated and walked towards Zhao Guang's house.
Zhao Guang was going to Yang'an Pass today. He got up early in the morning and was packing his things. The door of the house was wide open. When he saw Guan Ji coming in, he was surprised and said happily: "When did sister come back?"
"We just arrived." Guan Ji was about to throw the package on her body to Zhao Guang, but she suddenly paused, found a place to sit down, put the package away, and asked, "What are you doing? What? Where are you going to pack your things?"
"Yanganguan." Zhao Guang felt that there was no need to hide this from Guan Ji. "My elder brother asked me to go to Yanganguan to ask my uncle for help. When my sister came back, did she go to see her brother?"
"I just arrived at the camp and haven't gone there yet." Guan Ji pretended to be calm, "I was a little tired from the journey and wanted to go back to the house to rest for a while. I passed by your door and saw you packing things, and I was curious, so I came in. Ask.”
"Oh, that's it. I noticed that my sister looked sleepy, and I arrived at this time. I must have been traveling day and night? Why don't we go back and rest for a while? I'll go and inform my brother first."
"That's fine." Guan Ji nodded, wanted to get up, and asked casually, "Did nothing happen during the days when I was away?"
"There are no other things, but there is one strange thing." Zhao Guang thought for a while, then suddenly came over and said mysteriously, "Sister, you don't know, my brother is worthy of being a son of a master. Not only is he capable, but also the man in the house The maids are all very different from other families."
"Why are you telling me?" Guan Ji glanced at Zhao Guang and said calmly, "How many maids can read and write?"
At that time, Guan Ji also compared the maids of the Zheng Xuan family with the maids of the Feng family, so she naturally remembered this.
“It’s different, it’s different.” Zhao Guang shook his head, “What I’m talking about is not Fengzhuang, which is far away in Jincheng. I’m talking about the maid Amei.”
As soon as Guan Ji heard the word "Amei", her mind was agitated, thinking that I don't know how to mention this girl. Unexpectedly, you mentioned it yourself, and then asked casually: "Then Amei, what happened?" thing?"
“Amei, I have come up with a way to improve the spinning wheel. I heard from my brother that if it works, the threads can be spun three or four times faster than now!”
"So powerful?" Guan Ji nodded and asked again, "She has made meritorious service, so how should Feng Langjun reward her?"
Zhao Guang glanced at Guan Ji strangely, wondering why his sister didn't look surprised at all. She also had a share of the ranch, but she didn't seem to care about it at all. Instead, she was concerned about how her brother would reward the maid. Wait for the little things.
“Brother should reward her. She is a servant. If brother lifts her up..."
Speaking of this, Zhao Guang suddenly realized that his brother liked his sister. If I told the story about Amei being taken over by his brother, who knows what my sister would think?
Although my sister will know this matter sooner or later, she cannot say it out of her own mouth. It is best for her brother to explain it to her in person.
It is common sense for a man to have several concubines. I think as long as the brother talks to his sister properly, she will not have any grudges.
Thinking of this, Zhao Guang laughed, "If brother wants to reward that Amei, it is also brother's business. How can I know? Sister, you must be tired after a long journey, so why not go and rest first. Little brother first How about going and telling brother?"
He felt that he had concealed his thoughts very well, but Guan Ji had beaten him since he was a child. One look at his expression and he knew that there must be something fishy about this matter.
He snorted, lowered his eyes, and said softly: "Erlang, ask yourself, when General Zhao beat you when you were a child, when did you not come to me crying? I have coaxed you for so many years, why are you so heartless now? , you’re not even willing to tell me the truth?”
Zhao Guang smiled and said, "Sister, where do you start talking about this?"
Guan Ji raised her head and didn't say anything. She just glanced at Zhao Guang with her beautiful eyes, the meaning in her eyes was self-evident.
Zhao Guang originally wanted to hold on for a while, but when he saw Guan Ji's sharp eyes, he immediately felt weak and sighed. Brother, brother, it's not that I am unjust, but this matter will be known to my sister sooner or later. If you know it sooner or later, it's almost the same if you think about it.
After comforting himself in this way, Zhao Guang had no choice but to say: "Then Amei is my brother's personal maid. It's normal for my brother to keep her in his room. Sister, don't you think so?"
"Is the reward for being a member of the house?" Guan Ji sighed softly and murmured, "That's not bad."
“Sister, my brother is a great talent, and he is exactly what the great man needs.”
Zhao Guang saw that Guan Ji had something wrong with her expression. He walked to the door and looked around to see if there was no one around. Then he closed the door and then came back and said in a low voice, "It's a good thing that my brother asked Na Mei to take over the house."
“How is it a good thing?”
Guan Ji looked at Zhao Guang and asked with a calm face.
“Prime Minister and aunt, haven’t they always been worried that my brother is a member of the mountain family and will leave without saying goodbye one day? Now that Amei has been taken away from the house, doesn’t it mean that he wants to stay in the world? Otherwise, why would he be a burden to himself?”
When Guan Ji heard this, she sneered: "What are you saying, are you hiding your ears and stealing the bell? Most of the people in the mountain gate are ruthless people. How can a little maid restrain them?"
"Others are ruthless, but my brother values loyalty." Zhao Guang strongly disagreed with Guan Ji's words, "Since the younger brother and the elder brother met, the older brother kept private things, and the younger brother knew the importance of their friendship. When it comes to public affairs, it is You have done a lot of good work for the big man, why do you say you are ruthless?"
As he spoke, he lowered his voice again: "Even for my sister, I feel that my brother is also very affectionate and loyal."
Guan Ji sneered and said nothing, glanced at Zhao Guang, and thought to herself, why can't I see the deep love and meaning?
"Sister, don't let your anger cloud your mind." Guan Ji's expression was so obvious that Zhao Guang couldn't see it. He said a little unfairly at the moment, "Not to mention that my brother is an outsider, but he has done a lot for the Guan family. . As far as A-Sister Shan is concerned, others don’t know how important this pasture is, so don’t A-Sisters know?”
Guan Ji was startled immediately.
"How many people were jealous of the chicken-welcoming technique back then? The weight of this pasture is probably much heavier than that, but my brother gave it to my sister without blinking an eye. He just said it was with her. My sister’s dowry, this dowry is so heavy, how many people from the family are willing to give it to their daughter for free..."
Zhao Guang was still chattering. Guan Ji felt guilty after hearing this, but she didn't expect that the guy in front of her was talking about her dowry. She felt panicked and confused at the same time, and at the same time she was also a little angry. Who knew about the dowry? What does it mean to give it to yourself?
If... if... I really take this as a dowry, I don’t know who will get an advantage in the future!
"do not talk!"
Guan Ji gave a sweet shout and slapped the table. There was a loud "pop" sound, which startled Zhao Guang, "Aren't you going to pack your luggage? Why don't you pack it quickly? You'll miss Feng Langjun's business by then." , let’s see what you do!”
Zhao Guang shrank his neck and glanced at Guan Ji.
I saw a slight blush on my sister's face. I don't know if it was because of anger or some other reason. She gritted her teeth and thought that I should be brave enough to say something for my brother.
Thinking of this, he finally mustered up the courage to continue: "Sister, I feel that if my brother is so talented, if women in the world are not blind and blind, as long as my brother does not get married for a day, someone will eventually get entangled with him. . If sister is really serious about it, she might as well make up her mind early, seize the opportunity, and become the customer first, so as not to have to compete with others in the future..."
Guan Ji glanced at Zhao Guang indifferently.
Zhao Guang's voice immediately dropped, and finally he just cut off his sentence, not daring to speak anymore.
"Brother..." Zhao Guang muttered, "The art of war taught..."
Guan Ji:…
"Hmph! The good things I taught you were not used properly on the right path. They were all used on these side ways! Are you ashamed?"
Guan Ji scolded her, and without saying anything more, she picked up the package and went out.
Zhao Guang looked at Guan Ji and rushed out of the door. He shook his head and thought to himself, the sun had only risen so much, why was I being taught such a lesson by my sister for no reason? It was really bad luck.
Guan Ji came out of the door, turned around and walked towards her old house, but after taking two steps, she stopped again and bit her lower lip. Zhao Guang's words just now reminded her of her aunt's love for her in Jincheng. What she said.
"Although there are people who are worthy of you in this world, there are not many people who are suitable to marry you. There are even fewer men who can tolerate you. They are worthy of you, suitable to marry you, and able to tolerate you. You, and it seems that there is only one person that can catch your eye now. If I miss it, I really can’t say whether there will be such a suitable one in the future."
"The queen originally wanted to marry Si Niang to Feng Mingwen. Fortunately, Mrs. Junhou did not make up her mind at that time. But don't forget that Si Niang will be twelve after this year. When we talk about marriage, That’s perfectly normal.”
Guan Ji, who had never paid much attention to matters between men and women, suddenly began to worry about gains and losses.
That Amei was rewarded by him for her meritorious service. Although her methods were a little different from others, she was his personal maid, and she looked good enough to be a concubine. No one could say anything about it. It's his fault.
But if I have worked so hard for him for so long, don’t I have no merit? But he didn't even say thank you, which was impossible.
Having thought of this reason for herself, she turned around and walked back to Feng Yong's house.
At this time, Feng Yong had finished dressing and washing, and the door was wide open.
Guan Ji walked to the door, lingered for a while, and then knocked gently.
When Feng Yong saw Guan Ji, he was really surprised and happy. He hurriedly came over and couldn't help but stretched out his hand. Only when he got closer did he feel it was inappropriate, so he had to take it back with some embarrassment, rubbed his hands and asked: " When did Sanniang come back?"
Guan Ji saw that Feng Yong's happy expression did not seem to be fake, and the clouds in her heart dissipated a little. She smiled: "I just came back not long ago. I wanted to come over to see my brother right away, but when I saw the door was closed, I remembered My brother has the habit of getting up early to exercise on weekdays. I didn’t see him today. I must have been too tired last night, so I didn’t bother him.”
Feng Yong didn't know the trap in Guan Ji's words. Hearing that she was so considerate, he felt warm in his heart. He naturally accepted Guan Ji's package and explained at the same time: "I was really tired last night. I thought about the teacher's school. I was afraid of forgetting some of my knowledge, so I was busy writing it down, so I went to bed late."
Huh? How is this statement different from Erlang's statement?
“Then Amei, haven’t you been serving your brother? Why didn’t you remind your brother to take a rest?”
Guan Ji followed Feng Yong into the room. When she heard this, her eyes flashed and she asked again with concern.
“Then Amei accidentally sprained her foot. I asked her to go back to her room early to rest last night.”
Feng Yong naturally did not see Guan Ji’s expression behind him and said casually.
After letting Guan Ji sit down, Feng Yong personally gave a bowl of water to Guan Ji and continued, "Amei can't be underestimated. She has a flexible mind but a little lack of knowledge. I plan to teach her to read and read. I can’t say he’s a good helper.”
“What my brother does is always different from others.”
Guan Ji pressed the water and suddenly smiled like a flower.
Feng Yong didn't expect Guan Ji, who had always been cold and cool, to smile like this. He immediately felt that the room was full of flowers, and even the fatigue from not getting enough sleep last night was wiped away.
“What are you looking at, brother?”
Guan Ji just dispelled the dark clouds in her heart, and she smiled involuntarily in a relaxed mood, but she didn't expect how attractive her appearance was, which was in extreme contrast with the past.
“It would be great if Sanniang smiles more often.”
Feng Yong said with admiration.
“As soon as my little sister comes back, my brother can’t stop joking with her?”
Guan Ji pursed her lips and tried hard to regain her previous calmness, but for some reason, Feng Yong always felt that there was some happiness between her eyebrows that could not be concealed.
“Okay, let’s get down to business.”
After all, Guan Ji has always been aloof to others, and Feng Yong has finally gotten closer to her. He can talk to her so easily, but he doesn't want to alienate her again because he can't control his mouth.
“It’s just that Sanniang doesn’t think it’s against common sense for me to teach that maid how to read and write?”
“How many of the things my brother does are not against common sense?
Although Guan Ji's expression is dull, her beautiful eyes are shining slightly, "My brother is as talented as few people in the world. It is most normal for others not to understand what he does."
“It’s better that Sanniang knows me.”
Feng Yong only felt that Guan Ji was his confidant, and laughed, "This Amei will definitely have a big future in the future."
Guan Ji lowered her eyes when she heard Feng Yong mention Amei again, "Since brother values Amei so much, have you ever thought about how he would treat her if she really has a future as he said?"
"What should I do to her?" Feng Yong asked strangely, "She was taught by me and she is a servant in the house. Even if she has a promising future, how can she run away because of this?"
"Of course she can't run, but brother, have you ever thought about it, when she really makes a difference and becomes his helper, the things he asks her to take care of must be important. But brother, don't forget, even if she is a maid, You have to marry someone. If you marry someone else, you will be considered a member of another family. Didn’t brother Jieshi make a wedding dress for someone else? "
Feng Yong's heart skipped a beat. How reasonable is this statement?
When it comes to that point, will you be willing to let it go?
Don't talk about those words of the Holy Mother. Even thousands of years later, if their daughter brings a boyfriend home, the parents still feel that they have worked so hard to raise the cabbage and the pig has got it!
What I grow is not cabbage, at least it is Ganoderma lucidum.
Want to donate the Ganoderma lucidum that I worked so hard to plant? Haha, would you like to see if my knife is sharp?
When Guan Ji saw Feng Yong's expression, she didn't know what he was thinking. She immediately smiled and said, "If my brother is really reluctant to let go, my little sister has a way."
