The queen cried the whole harem

The more Ji Yan came into contact with Chen Dongyan, the more she felt that this man was cold on the outside but gentle on the inside. He was very kind to her both before and after the engagement.

At most, he never showed tenderness on his face before getting engaged, but when she fell off the bench, he was able to silently make a bench for her without falling, which is enough to prove his attentiveness and gentleness.

After the engagement, his tenderness seeped out from his bones, and he did not shy away from being kind to her in front of others and behind the scenes.

Ji Yan put her arms around Chen Dongyan's waist. She was really not sad, she was happy, but she didn't want Chen Dongyan to worry, so she hummed in a low voice, stood on tiptoes, and kissed him back.

However, Chen Dongyan pinched her chin and stopped her movements.

His ears were reddish and his voice was slightly deeper: "There are still people around."

In fact, Chen Dongyan didn't really kiss her just now. He just kissed her briefly, giving her what he thought was the most substantial, fastest, and most effective gentle way to comfort her.

At that time, Chen Dongyan only thought about Ji Yan, so he didn't worry too much. Only then did he realize that there were many people around him, including Ji Ruizhang, Yao Ping, Chun Yu, and Chun Si.

Chen Dongyan's face, which had never changed color even when Mount Tai collapsed before his eyes, changed slightly.

But he has always been calm, even if his heart is turbulent, his face does not show any signs of it.

He pushed Ji Yan away, looked at her again, and said, "Stop crying?"

Ji Yan pursed her lips, raised her face slightly, and looked into his eyes very close: "I want to kiss you."

Her voice was so low that only Chen Dongyan could hear it, but even so, Chen Dongyan couldn't help but look around to see if the people next to him had also heard what she said.

Ji Ruizhang stood beside the gradually extinguishing fire, and Yao Ping stood next to him. The two of them did not look at them, staring at the extinguishing fire.

They didn't seem to hear or see anything, but Chen Dongyan was practicing martial arts and had keen eyesight. He clearly saw the smiles on their lips. They wanted to peek at him and Ji Yan, but he was worried about something and didn't look.

Chen Dongyan went to see Chunyu and Chunsi again.

Chunyu and Chunsi were still in the main room. The two maids were originally going to chase Ji Yan out, but because Ji Yan was standing at the door, they did not go out. At first, the two maids stood behind Ji Yan. , after Chen Dongyan came over, the two of them stepped back a certain distance.

At this time, the two maids were also lowering their heads and smiling.

Chen Dongyan sighed inwardly. It seemed that the scene where he kissed Ji Yan abruptly just now was all seen by them.

As for what Ji Yan said just now, they probably didn't hear it.

Chen Dongyan rubbed Ji Yan's head and didn't respond to her words. Seeing that Ji Yan stopped crying, he turned around and walked out to the extinguished fire.

Whether it was the scarecrow, the wig, the clothes, the human skin mask, or the two antidotes, they were all reduced to nothing, except for a pile of ashes.

Chen Dongyan stared at the pile of black ash and reached out to pat Ji Ruizhang on the shoulder.

Ji Ruizhang raised his head and glanced at Chen Dongyan, then lowered his head silently, staring at the pile of black ashes, and said in a very soft voice: "I am relieved, and I know that Yan'er is also relieved."

Chen Dongyan asked in a low voice: "Do you still blame Ji Yan?"

Ji Ruizhang shook his head and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't.

Chen Dongyan glanced at him and said for him what he didn't say: "In fact, you didn't blame her a long time ago, right?"

Ji Ruizhang said nothing.

Chen Dongyan said: "You are a good brother."

Ji Ruizhang pulled his lips, glanced at Ji Yan at the door in the distance, and whispered: "I handed Ji Yan over to you. You take good care of her and don't let her be wronged in the future. I can see that you You are a good man, you will be nice to her, I just hope you can always be nice to her."

Chen Dongyan said: "I will always be nice to her."

Ji Ruizhang nodded, he believed in Chen Dongyan's character.

Ji Ruizhang turned his head and told Yao Ping: "Go find someone to come and clean up this place."

Yao Ping came back to his senses and nodded quickly.

At this time, Yao Ping finally knew what his young master and Chen Dongyan were doing to make the scarecrow.

He was standing next to Ji Ruizhang and heard the conversation between Ji Ruizhang and Chen Dongyan.

He felt happy and cried at the same time, thinking that the young master finally looked away and stopped complaining, blaming, and hating the second young lady. This was really the best thing that happened this year!

Yao Ping walked away with a smile and called some rough ladies to come over. Although there were very few servants in the west courtyard, there were still some rough ladies who cleaned.

After the ladies cleaned the floor, Ji Ruizhang and Chen Dongyan entered the main room, followed by Yao Ping.

At this time, Chunyu and Chunsi also knew the reason why their young lady had just done those things, and they were extremely relieved.

Ji Ruizhang came in, walked directly to Ji Yan, and said, "Come with me to find the second uncle and the second aunt."

Ji Yan raised her eyebrows and said, "Are you telling the second uncle and the second aunt that we have made the antidote?"

Ji Ruizhang nodded: "Yes, but it's not just about this one thing."

Ji Yan asked: "Is there anything else?"

Ji Ruizhang didn't answer, only said: "You will know after you follow me."

Ji Yan thought to herself, what kind of riddle are you making? Why can't you tell me?

Although I was a bit sincere in my heart, I didn’t ask any more questions.

Ji Yan went to see Chen Dongyan and originally wanted to ask, "Can I take Chen Dongyan with me?"

Before he could ask this question, Ji Ruizhang had already spoken: "Chen Dongyan can go too."

Ever since Chen Dongyan and Ji Yan got engaged, Ji Ruizhang stopped calling Mr. Chen and always called Chen Dongyan by his first name.

Mrs. Ji had previously called Master Chen, and later she also called her by name.

This is certainly not an offense, but rather a closeness.

Chen Dongyan didn't know why Ji Ruizhang wanted to take Ji Yan to find Ji Xianjiang and Mrs. Ji, but if he was asked to follow, he would be happy to follow.

Chen Dongyan stepped forward to grab Ji Yan and said to Ji Ruizhang: "Let's go."

Ji Ruizhang glanced at the hands held by Chen Dongyan and Ji Yan, smiled, and led Yao Ping out first.

Chen Dongyan and Ji Yan followed.

Chunyu and Chunsi also glanced at the hands held by Chen Dongyan and Ji Yan. The two maids also had happy smiles on their faces and followed them outside.

Ji Xianjiang and Mrs. Ji are keeping vigil, and when the time comes, they can set off fireworks. Night vigil means eating and chatting in the house. Usually the whole family keeps vigil together, but later it became popular for young people to go out to play, and gradually vigil became a matter for the elders.

Ji Ruizhang and Ji Yan were busy and were not here, Ji Bingru got married again, and there were no other juniors in the Ji family, so there were only Ji Xianjiang and Mrs. Ji. However, it was quite lively with the maids and women waiting around.

Ji Xianjiang was talking to Mrs. Ji about Ji Yan and Chen Dongyan's future marriage. Butler Lin came in from outside and said with a smile: "Master, madam, Master Ruizhang and Miss Yan are here, and Master Chen is here too."

Ji Xianjiang and Mrs. Ji looked at each other and wondered why the three of them came together at this time. Aren't Ruizhang and Yan'er developing an antidote? Could it be that an antidote has been developed?
  Thinking like this, Ji Xianjiang immediately said: "Let them in quickly."

Butler Lin immediately went out and led Ji Ruizhang, Ji Yan, and Chen Dongyan into the main room. Because of the cold weather, the door of the main room was closed again after the three people entered.

Ji Ruizhang, Ji Yan, and Chen Dongyan greeted Ji Xianjiang and Mrs. Ji. After that, the three of them sat down and the maids served tea and snacks.

Ji Ruizhang looked at Ji Ruizhang expectantly: "Ruizhang, if you bring Yan'er here with you at this time, have you developed the antidote?"

Mrs. Ji also looked at Ji Ruizhang expectantly.

Ji Ruizhang smiled and said: "Second uncle, second aunt, Yan'er and I came here. We really want to tell you the good news. Yes, Yan'er and I developed the antidote together."

When Ji Xianjiang heard this, he stood up from his chair and said happily: "Seriously?"

Ji Ruizhang nodded: "Seriously, I won't joke about this kind of thing."

Ji Xianjiang said with great joy: "That's great!"

Mrs. Ji was also happy, with excitement and joy on her face: "This is indeed a great event."

After a pause, he added: "Ruizhang, besides this good news, do you want to say anything else?"

Ji Ruizhang hummed, glanced at Mrs. Ji, and then looked at Ji Xianjiang: "I want to ask the second uncle and the second aunt to take the decision to rebuild the Ji family ancestral hall."

When Ji Yan heard this, she understood what Ji Ruizhang didn't say just now.

It turned out to be the reconstruction of the Ji family ancestral hall.

Four years ago, the Battle of Bobeiguan was defeated and the Ji Family Ancestral Hall was destroyed. At that time, Ji Yan was hated by Ji Ruizhang and could not go home. Ji Yan was also burdened with heavy shackles in her heart and had no face to go home. She did not know that the Ji Family Ancestral Hall had always been Not being fixed.

It was only when she came back this time and stayed that she realized that the Ji family ancestral hall had not been repaired.

In private, Ji Yan actually asked Mrs. Ji, but Mrs. Ji was hesitant and didn't explain the reason clearly.

Ji Yan is still a little confused.

After listening to Ji Ruizhang's words, Ji Yan asked Ji Xianjiang: "Second uncle, it has been two years since Bobei Pass was recovered. Why hasn't the Ji family ancestral hall been renovated yet?"

Ji Xianjiang glared at Ji Ruizhang, and of course he would not directly say that if he did not rebuild the Ji family ancestral hall at that time, it was not because he did not want to build it, but because after building the Ji family ancestral hall, he wanted to include the family tree, and Ji Yan's name was in the family tree. Ji Ruizhang at that time Because of this, Ji Xianjiang had a quarrel with Ji Ruizhang. In the end, neither of them gave in, and the rebuilding of the Ji family ancestral hall was delayed.

Now that Ji Ruizhang took the initiative to bring up the matter of rebuilding the Ji family ancestral hall, he also told Ji Xianjiang in disguise that he no longer blamed Ji Yan, he forgave Ji Yan, and he also accepted his sister again.

Others didn't understand what Ji Ruizhang meant, but Ji Xianjiang did.

Although Ji Xianjiang resented Ji Ruizhang's behavior in the past, he was his nephew after all, and with Ji Ruizhang's words just now, Ji Xianjiang had nothing to blame.

Ji Xianjiang covered up for Ji Ruizhang and did not mention the past things. He only said: "It's not that my second uncle doesn't want to repair it. First, after the recovery of Bobei Pass, he has to be busy with many things and can't spare time. Second, it's because the second uncle wants to repair the ancestral hall. You He and Ruizhang were both here, but you were not there at the time, so we were not too anxious about repairing the ancestral hall, so it has been postponed until now."

Without waiting for Ji Yan to say anything, he continued: "Fortunately, you are back now, and your family is complete. Previously, you were busy with Bingru's marriage, and then you and Chen Dongyan's marriage, as well as the New Year's Eve. I asked my second uncle to forget about this matter. Now that your brother has brought it up, let’s discuss when to start building the Ji family ancestral hall again.”

Mrs. Ji glanced at Ji Ruizhang, but did not reveal Ji Ruizhang's previous 'evil deeds'. Mrs. Ji turned around and said to Tian's mother: "Tian's mother, you go get the almanac, and we can choose one to see which day is auspicious to start construction."

Tian's mother responded yes and immediately went to get the almanac.

When the almanac was brought, Mrs. Ji read it first, then to Ji Xianjiang, who then showed it to Ji Ruizhang, who then showed it to Ji Yan.

Ji Yan turned back a few pages and saw the page on the eighth day of the lunar month and said, "The eighth day of the lunar month is a good day to start construction."

Mrs. Ji said: "I also saw the eighth day of the lunar month."

Ji Xianjiang and Ji Ruizhang also echoed.

Ji Yan handed the almanac to Chen Dongyan to read again. Chen Dongyan looked back and saw that the eighth day of the lunar month was the best day. Chen Dongyan said: "Otherwise, it will be the eighth day of the lunar month? But besides the eighth day, it is also the New Year's Day. If we start building the ancestral hall, there are What's the taboo?"

Mrs. Ji shook her head and said, "There's no taboo. It's just to build an ancestral hall and nothing else. There's nothing wrong with it."

Chen Dongyan hummed, the ancestral hall being rebuilt was the Ji family's ancestral hall. Although he had become Ji Yan's fiancé, he couldn't interfere in the Ji family's affairs, so he couldn't say more and returned the almanac to Ji Yan.

As the head of the family, Ji Xianjiang determined that the day to start construction would be the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, and then asked about making the antidote. Everyone sat there eating tea, chatting and lighting a fire, and it was midnight before they knew it.

Butler Lin came in and shouted: "Master, madam, it's time to light the firecrackers!"

Ji Xianjiang stood up, took Mrs. Ji's hand, and walked out the door.

Ji Ruizhang also walked out.

Ji Yan took the initiative to hold Chen Dongyan's hand and led Chen Dongyan out.

Several people stood under the eaves outside the door, and the male servants lit firecrackers and fireworks in the yard. Soon the whole courtyard began to crackle, and one beautiful brilliance bloomed in the air.

Ji Yan's eyes also shone brightly, and she asked Chen Dongyan: "Do you people in Guiyang City light firecrackers during the New Year?"

Chen Dongyan said: "I ordered it too."

"Set off fireworks too?"

"Ah."

Ji Yan pointed to the firecrackers in the yard and then to the fireworks in the sky: "As beautiful as these?"

Chen Dongyan smiled: "What difference can firecrackers make? Fireworks are a little different. The fireworks in Guiyang City are extraordinarily big and beautiful."

Added another sentence: "There are also fireworks during the Lantern Festival. I will take you to see them then."

After a pause, he added: "The fireworks lit at home are different from those outside. You will know when you go there."

Ji Yan was yearning for it and suddenly pulled Chen Dongyan hard.

Chen Dongyan turned his head in confusion, and Ji Yan pointed in the direction of the west courtyard: "Let's go there and take a look."

Chen Dongyan was about to say that the firecrackers are here and can't be seen when he goes to the west courtyard, but Ji Yan has already dragged him and ran towards the west courtyard quickly. Chen Dongyan had no choice but to follow Ji Yan to the west courtyard.

After passing the gate of the west courtyard, Ji Yan took him to an unoccupied corner. Chen Dongyan raised his head and looked in the direction of the east courtyard. He could still see fireworks. Except for the fireworks in the direction of the east courtyard, the sky above the entire Bobei Pass , full of fireworks, the scene is very spectacular, the beauty is not inferior to the streets of Guiyang City.

Chen Dongyan lowered his head and was about to talk to Ji Yan, but Ji Yan stood up on her tiptoes and kissed him. (End of chapter)
