Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 249 The Eve
Who she is is self-evident.

It's better to say that Ji Si and Wang Zhongxin said, son, you finally asked who.

Those who didn't know thought you were going to be engaged to Zhong Tang's stepson...

The Ji family was sparsely populated, and Ji Jiashu was the first in the generation of the Ji family to make a marriage contract. Ji Si didn't know what the other sons were like before they got engaged, but he still felt that the marriage in their house was too weird.

Because it is a marriage between the two countries, all the official ceremonies are held in the Nanchu Palace. The Nanchu National Teacher's Mansion is just a simple layout. The courtiers should also act in groups.The engagement matters in the mansion are kept simple, the former Qin princess didn't even bring a dowry, presumably she doesn't like extravagance.

Whether it is extravagant or not, Ji Si doesn't know, he only knows that his young master's house is going to be a temporary new house...even the door hasn't been installed yet...

Ji Si and Wang Zhong worked hard all day, hung red lanterns on the trees in the courtyard, pasted some red paper, and managed to manage to decorate...

Ji Si thought in his heart that if girls from other aristocratic families saw this, they would probably be wronged and refuse to marry...

But no matter what, Ji Si felt that their young master had done his best. Ji Jiashu watched them decorate the house during the day today without saying a word, and then told him to go to Qing'an Yuan to ask the woman's wishes.

Ji Si didn't know what kind of feelings his young master had towards that woman, but he always felt that if the woman really wanted "luxury" decorations, the young master would find ways to get them.

But when Ji Si went to Qing'an Yuan, he was in vain.

Hearing that Ji Jiashu finally asked about the woman, Ji Si pursed his lips, looked at the young master and said, "Young master, the villain said before that Her Royal Highness the Princess is not in Qing'an Courtyard during the day today."

"When the villain went, the old lady from the palace couldn't find anyone and was swearing!"

Ji Jiashu was startled, and finally had the feeling that he was going to get engaged tomorrow.

Although he has no experience and is still a man, he also knows that tomorrow is the engagement banquet. According to the normal order, his daughter's family will try on clothes and makeup today.

In order to make up for the "wrongedness" suffered by the National Teacher's Mansion, the Southern Chu royal family took over all the preparations.The Queen of Nanchu was originally the niece of his mother Ye Shi, so she sent an old lady from the palace to the mansion to help with the arrangements.

In addition to teaching the woman how to behave, she also helped her dress up.

Ji Jiashu knew these rules, and those old nuns specially taught the court ladies etiquette in the palace. Since they were the Queen's servants, they must be highly respected, and the A family often invited these nuns when they married.

It is probably the first time for these nuns who are regarded as guests of honor in other aristocratic families to encounter a situation where the bride-to-be is nowhere to be found after visiting the door...

It has to be said that it is the woman's ability to make the nanny who teaches etiquette start to curse people regardless of her appearance.

Ji Jiashu exhaled and said, "Then what's the matter now?"

The nanny from the palace is not so easy to dismiss. If Ying Baoyue doesn't show up, I don't know what will happen, but he hasn't seen anyone come to the door to question the teacher. After all...

"It was barely resolved," Ji Si said helplessly, "Later, Miss came forward and said that Her Royal Highness is similar in figure to her, and she came to help her try."

Ji Jiashu was taken aback when he heard the words, feeling a little strange in his heart.

So now Ji Ange is helping Ying Baoyue to try on the dress she is going to wear to be engaged to him tomorrow?
Aside from the fact that Ji Ange would stand up for that woman, why does it sound so strange...

Ji Jiashu took a deep breath and asked helplessly, "So what did she do today?"

When Ji Si heard this, he looked at Ji Jiashu with a complicated face and said, "Today, Your Royal Highness... went to Jixia Academy to stay in the water courtyard for a day."

After saying this, Ji Si glanced at Ji Jiashu's face. He had inquired about the young master's news for so many years and he was well-informed, but even so, he was still shocked by the news.

The marriage partner didn't stay in the mansion to prepare for tomorrow's engagement banquet, but ran out to stay in Jixia Academy for a day, Ji Si thought to himself that his son had met some kind of fiancée.

However, when he raised his head, he found that Ji Jiashu in front of him didn't feel angry or shocked when he heard the words, but was in a daze for a moment.

"Master?" Ji Si asked.

Ji Jiashu didn't answer him, but quietly grasped the hilt of the sword at his waist.

After hearing what Ji Si said about the woman's whereabouts, Ji Jiashu knew what she had done.

water courtyard.

Water magic sword.

Ji Jiashu thought of the woman's ability to never forget sword techniques. How many sword techniques could she learn in just one day?
Ji Jiashu couldn't figure it out, but he knew that he shouldn't be overly worried.Even if one can master a certain level of swordsmanship, almost all swordsmanship will not be able to exert sufficient power if one does not advance to the eight gods of the same level.

Among the four schools of wind, fire, water and thunder swordsmanship, many of the lower-ranked sword moves even have to reach the sixth level to show their true strength.

As for the last sword of the Lei Fa Sword, even though Ji Jiashu was already at the fifth level, he still hadn't fully mastered it.

Although the water magic sword is somewhat different, there should not be much difference in general. The gap in realm cannot be overcome in a day.

The words say so.

But Ji Jiashu clenched the hilt of the Chunlei Sword tightly, and the figure of the woman holding the sword on the high platform appeared in front of her eyes.

The day before the engagement, she spent all her time in the water yard. What on earth does she want to do?
She... how much can she grasp?
……

……

How much can she master?
When the moon was at its zenith, Ying Baoyue finally returned to the State Teacher's Mansion.

Gui Chen went with her, and when he came back, he was exhausted into a puddle of mud. He was almost helped in by Ji Qingyuan. Ji Ange, who had been tossed about by the nurse in the palace for a day, thought she was going to help another person, but he didn't expect Ying Baoyue stood firmly on the ground, looking no different from before he left.

Ji Ange wondered if this person ran out simply because he didn't want to try on clothes.

However, this suspicion stopped when Ji Ange saw her hand.

Seeing the girl's hands full of fresh blood bubbles, Ji Ange didn't speak, but closed her eyes to suppress the rising heat, and asked the nanny to prepare hot water for a bath.

Although Ji Ange wanted to talk to Ying Baoyue about the rules she learned from the nanny in the palace today, but after a whole day of tossing, the girl's eyelids began to fight without saying a few words while lying on the bed.

"Go to sleep," Ying Baoyue covered her eyes with his palm, "Thank you for your hard work today."

"I have nothing... you... tomorrow..."

Ji Ange said vaguely, struggling to open her eyes, but finally fell asleep due to exhaustion.

Ying Baoyue sat on the head of the bed, quietly watching the girl's sleeping face, the oil lamp in the room burst into a flicker, she looked up at the moonlight shining through the window, got up and got out of bed.

She walked into the empty courtyard, and she was the only one under the bright moon in the sky.

Ying Baoyue raised her hand and made a few sword gestures that she saw today.

When she was about to continue practicing, she seemed to feel something, and stared blankly at a tree by the east wall.

This is a jujube tree.

Ying Baoyue walked under the tree, looked at the familiar black figure on the tree, and asked.

"What are you doing?"

Li Ji, who was originally sitting quietly on the tree, looked down at the girl under the tree, paused and said.

"Pick dates."
