Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 731 Destiny
Standing at the door of the empty Qing'an Courtyard, Ji Er looked at the back of the man standing outside the threshold and quietly looking into the courtyard, with mixed feelings.

Ji Mo said that he hadn't visited Ji Qingyuan and the others for a while, it wasn't a while ago.

It is one year, three months and eighteen days.

As an old servant of the Ji family, Ji Er's mind is not brilliant.But he was favored by the old head of the Ji family and sent to his only son, and even served as the steward of the National Teacher's Mansion, all because of his better memory than ordinary people.

He remembered everything Ji Mo had done and everyone he met since he was a child.

Maybe it's because he's old, and he always thinks of many past events recently.

It is said that people become mature with age, but in fact, Ji Er didn't think that he was much wiser as he got older.

Old people just know more secrets than young people.

For example, he remembered every time Ji Mo went to Qing'an Yuan.

He even remembered what Ji Mo himself might have forgotten, the initial appearance with his son when he carried Ji Qingyuan back to his study.

Ji Qingyuan was Ji Mo's first son, and it was only one month old when he came to the National Teacher's Mansion. At that time, the National Teacher's Mansion had just been built, and many of the courtyards that exist now do not exist today.

For example, Qinganyuan.

Qing'an Courtyard is named after Ji Qingyuan and Ji Ange. As the name suggests, it was built after Ji Ange also came to the National Teacher's Mansion.

Before Ji Ange was born, Ji Qingyuan had actually been living by Ji Mo's side.

"Qingyuan and his sister, who allowed them to go out?" Looking at the empty courtyard, Ji Er heard the man in front of him ask coldly.

The man's voice was cold, so cold that he didn't seem to be calling his own child.

Even since he returned home, Ji Mo didn't even want to mention Ji Ange's name once.

Ji Mo didn't like Ji Ange, let alone her name.

However, looking at the back of the man in front of him, Ji Er felt a little sad in his heart.

"My lord, if you really want to go out, master, you know that the formation outside the courtyard is not for stopping them." Ji Er bowed behind Ji Mo and said.

The old man bent down deeply, feeling the sudden icy power of the person in front of him, but what appeared in front of his eyes was the bewildered expression of the young man who just knew he was a father.

20 years have passed like this.

Twenty years ago, that resolute woman left her child and left. The mansion suddenly had a child before the master got married, and there was a mess.

Because Ji Mo himself had only servants and book boys to serve him, not to mention the hostess, and there was not even a maid in the Guoshi Mansion.The sudden blow caught all the rough men in the National Teacher's Mansion by surprise.

As the only mature and prudent Ji Er, he hurried out to find a nanny for Ji Qingyuan. As for who will take care of the little master for the time being... that can only be left to his father.

And when he was sweating profusely and found someone to return to the National Teacher's Mansion, he saw a very strange scene.

Jimo was sitting in the study room meditating, with the child on his lap, and the two of them just stared at each other.

For a long time, this has been the daily life of the father and son.

Ji Qingyuan, who has already reached the crown, may not know that the first period of his life was not brought by servants at all.

Before Ji Qingyuan was sensible, before Ji Qingyuan could remember anything, Ji Mo could put him on his lap and watch him without moving for a whole day.

"Second Uncle Ji, why doesn't he cry?"

"Young master... the young master is asleep..."

"Uncle Ji, do you think he looks like me?"

Ji Er remembered that he looked at the face of the infant child, and nodded reluctantly, "Like you, like you."

And even he at the time didn't expect that Ji Qingyuan would be so similar to Ji Mo later.

Maybe it was because Ji Qingyuan was the only child brought up by Ji Mo.

However, all of this changed as Ji Qingyuan grew up.

Ji Qingyuan's identity was not recognized by Ji Mo's father, the old head of the Ji family, and was not included in the Ji family tree.This destined Ji Qingyuan to be an illegitimate child in this life.

The Qin State won more and more victories in the north, and Ji Qingyuan's biological mother's status in front of the Prince of Qin State was also getting higher and higher.

There are more and more rumors about that woman and Emperor Ying.

Some even said that the woman had already entered Emperor Ying's harem.

Ji Mo became more and more silent and cold, and became more and more indifferent to Ji Qingyuan.

Ji Er still remembered that Ji Mo once stared at the face of the baby on his lap and asked, "Uncle Ji, this is her own child, she will always come back to see him."

He nodded.

In fact, Lin Shubai did not appear often.

But he didn't know whether the two had contacted him in private.

Although he was someone close to Ji Mo, Ji Er didn't fully understand what happened between Ji Mo and Lin Shubai.

After all, he doesn't even know how Ji Qingyuan got here...

But when Ji Qingyuan was three years old, Ji Mo found someone to take him out of his study. Ji Er originally thought that Ji Mo and Lin Shubai had broken up long ago.

However, Ji Ange appeared later.

Well, the old man really doesn't understand the matter between a man and a woman.

However, he couldn't understand Ji Mo's feelings for Lin Shubai, but Ji Er remembered clearly Ji Mo's dislike for another girl.

Because this disgust has never changed from the beginning to the end.

Ji Mo stood outside the Qing'an courtyard and didn't go in, but the man's eyes flicked across the plants and trees in the courtyard.

He looked at the chessboard engraved on the ground, at the many more bowls and chopsticks in the kitchen, and at the festoons woven by women hanging on the window edge of the west courtyard, his eyes became darker and darker.

Ji Er followed his gaze, and his heart sank even more.

Just looking at these traces, you can know how many happy times this courtyard has had.

However, he didn't know what these traces looked like in Ji Mo's eyes.

"You said earlier that Jiashu wanted to change the place for that girl." Ji Mo stood at the gate of the courtyard and said lightly, "Why, does Jiashu like her very much?"

Ji Er was taken aback, how should he answer these words?

However, the question that frightened him even more was yet to come.

"It's not easy for you to answer, then I'll ask you another way," Ji Mo asked lightly.

"Does Qingyuan like her very much?" The man asked quietly, with emotions that Ji Er couldn't understand in his eyes, "I like her so much that whenever she appears, I will fix my eyes on her?"

I like her so much that as long as she appears, my eyes will be nailed to her.

The man's voice was calm, but Ji Er's back felt chills when he heard it.

It's all asking something.

He could understand how Ji Jiashu felt about that woman. After all, Ji Jiashu had a marriage contract with that girl, and this marriage contract was arranged by Ji Mo himself. It is understandable to ask about the real relationship between the two.

But how to change the way of asking... It turned out to be Ji Qingyuan?

Can the two brothers be the same?

Ji Er looked at the man in front of him who asked this question expressionlessly, so now he is actually asking...

The relationship between the future sister-in-law and uncle?
In any case, this question is too scary.

I like her so much that whenever she appears, my eyes will be fixed on her... This question is as if I have seen such a scene countless times.

Ji Er looked at the back of the man in front of him, his heart beating like a drum.

What did he remember?
What did he... guess?
　When I returned from retreat once, I found that my house had been stolen.

　　Destiny is that the raised son's heart has long been given away.

　　But classmate Ji Mo didn't know that his second son's heart was gone
