Albizia?
Jiu Ji froze on the spot.
Aunt Liu thought she was embarrassed, so she laughed and taught her some things in the tent, which were nothing more than things to do with Zhong Shaoqing, whom she had just married.
But Grandma spoke half-heartedly, sometimes changing words, and sometimes making gestures with her eyes. Jiuji could only hear the words in confusion.
Not long after, Grandma Liu retreated as she saw that it was getting late.
As soon as she left, someone slowly entered the courtyard.
It was late at night, and the noise of the guests in the mansion gradually died down. Amidst the silence, the man's footsteps came towards the door.
The smell of wine soaked from the corridor into the crack of the door and floated to the tip of Jiuji's nose.
The man seemed to pause at the door for a while, then slowly opened the door and stepped in.
Jiuji sat on the edge of the bed, tilting her head and taking a closer look at her "groom" for the first time.
He wears black boots and a dark red brocade wedding dress. A white jade-studded waistband neatly ties up his narrow waist, making him appear even more narrow-waisted, wide-chested and long-armed. He has the heroic spirit of a warrior as well as that of a scholar. Confucian style.
But for some reason, his complexion seemed not to be good, his lips were slightly pursed, and the corners of his lips were pressed slightly downward. Above the bridge of his nose, which was as straight as a ridge, there was a pair of dark eyes.
He glanced at her briefly, then looked away, turning to the other side to change clothes.
He didn't say anything, and Jiu Ji naturally didn't say anything.
She just looked at his rather good figure among mortals and nodded quietly.
Naturally, demon spirits also have acacia, and Jiuji has also heard of it.
But she has been practicing alone for many years and is still young among demons. She has neither a demon partner nor a romantic relationship.
She has never tasted acacia.
However, whether it is Hehuan or Dual Cultivation, they are all lovers who come together because of love, or at least it must be a matter of love when they meet by chance.
Of course, Jiuji and this young minister were not in love, but this time she entered the Zhong Mansion by mistake, went to court and got married to this young minister of Dali Temple, Zhong Heqing, and now she can no longer enter the bridal chamber. Escape at the last minute...
Does this count as having a chance encounter with this person?
If so, then this mortal Shaoqing of Dali Temple was her first love in the demon life?
It turned out that her first relationship came like this, and she was still a mortal.
During the hundreds of years of demon life, there is always a lot of loneliness. No demon can resist the love given by God.
When Aunt Liu taught her the skills just now, Jiuji had been thinking about this.
At this moment, she couldn't help but look at the man changing clothes curiously.
His movements are elegant and capable, and he is not a prince who wants to be served in everything. I heard that he became the young minister of Dali Temple last year. Both his father and ancestors were born in Dali Temple during their lifetimes, but he has been living among the people for many years for some reason. Later, because of After he solved the case and performed meritorious service, he was appointed by the emperor to enter the Dali Temple, and he was able to recognize his ancestors and return to the clan...
Jiu Ji saw him take off his belt and hang it aside, take off his outer robe, wash his hands, walk to the edge of the screen, and put incense into the incense burner.
He has endured hardships, made meritorious deeds, and is in a high position at a young age. He seems not to be a pedantic fool, but has a useful brain.
Good skin and good brains. Jiu Ji felt more and more satisfied with him, and her eyes filled with warmth when she looked at him.
It's just that he didn't know what kind of incense he lit just now. The aroma was not very clear, with some rich sweet and tempting smell.
Jiuji didn't like it very much, but mortals had many rules. She was afraid that asking would expose herself, so she endured it.
The man finally finished changing his clothes, and walked over from the other side of the room in a dim yellow halo with the candles extinguished.
When he walked to the bed, only the tall dragon and phoenix wedding candles were burning in the room.
He left the wedding candle according to the wedding night rules, turned his head to look at the bed, his eyes fell on Jiuji's thin clothes, and he frowned almost imperceptibly.
Jiuji couldn't distinguish his emotions, but recalled in her heart what Aunt Liu said, who would take the initiative in the next thing in the account?
When she saw him coming to the bedside, she entered the tent. He sat down and took off his boots. Jiu Ji thought in her heart that she had forgotten what Aunt Liu said, and although she herself had no experience, she was a demon who cultivated the spirit and body. , he is a mortal human being.
Mortals are always weak, or...she first?
But Jiuji really had no experience in this area, and after her parents gave birth to nine little civet cats at once, their original hope of buying a spiritual field in exchange for a bigger house was suddenly dashed.
The two of them felt deeply that the Hehuan was a waste of time, and if things continued like this, the family would not even be able to eat, so they decided not to stop the Hehuan... Therefore, Jiuji hardly even listened to the demons around her talking about this matter.
So, if she takes the initiative, how on earth can she take the initiative?
Jiuji fell into thinking.
The gauze tent was lowered, blocking the bright light of the dragon and phoenix wedding candles. The tent was dark red like the setting sun and the red clouds lingering in the sky. Between the shadows, the sweet and slightly intoxicating aroma made people smell fine and dense sweat. beads.
Jiuji thought for a few seconds, but before she moved, the man suddenly turned around and his cold fingertips fell on her belt.
Jiuji was stunned.
The slightly cool fingers messed up her clothes and put them aside. Either because they were messing with the complicated clothes or because the scent made the tent sultry, the man's cold fingertips gradually became warm.
At the end, the moment his hand grasped her waist, it was so hot that Jiu Ji trembled slightly.
Being repeatedly affected by the sweet aroma and penetrated by the heat of his hot palm, Jiuji sweated more and more from head to toe.
She couldn't bear it, so she took off the thin shirt she had just worn.
Just for a moment when the thin shirt was taken off, the man's breathing seemed to have stopped.
Jiu Ji raised her eyes to look at him, only to see that his unopened brows seemed to sink further, and his eyes slowly closed.
What's the meaning?
Jiuji didn't understand, but in the next breath, he leaned over and pressed down...
Heavy and hot. The coolness that Jiuji had just gained was instantly driven away by him, while the burning heat and hot flashes from him slowly arrived from bottom to top.
The rising and falling breaths intertwined within a short distance, the heat and humidity mixed with the sweetness, and between the heavy forces, it was like the entrance of a elixir, spreading an extremely keen and strange feeling throughout the body.
It may be light or heavy, deep or shallow, alternately.
Jiuji opened her eyes blankly, and her breathing became faster with him. She didn't know when there was a surge of dampness and heat in her body, and one wave after another came out of her insides.
She was amazed, it turned out that Hehuan was like this?
Perhaps sensing her surprise, he glanced at Jiuji's face briefly, but when Jiuji looked at him, he immediately looked away.
Jiuji didn't know what he meant.
But he gradually increased his speed.
The candles flickered outside the dark and humid tent, while the damp heat inside the tent surged like a tide.
Jiu Ji couldn't tell how long it took, but he finally stopped amid a wave of heat.
Jiu Ji also panted slightly and recovered a little from the wonderful feeling.
He turned his back and put on his clothes. Jiu Ji watched quietly. Although she didn't know what he was going to do, she was even more satisfied with him because of this wonderful experience.
Although this relationship obviously cannot last forever, the demon never hesitates to stay or leave.
She just thought in her heart, when he comes back to talk to her later, what attitude should she use to get along with him?
However, what happened just now was really Jiu Ji's first experience, and now her body felt a little painful when she moved slightly.
She quickly took a deep breath to calm down, but she still felt a little sore. Jiuji was surprised that a mortal could have such ability. As soon as she got up, she picked up her clothes and put on two pieces randomly, when she saw him walking out of the clean room. .
Jiuji tilted her head and looked at him, waiting to hear what he would say to her.
It was a first for her, and it was the same for him. On the wedding night, he had to say something.
But she waited patiently, and saw that his footsteps reached the bedside, but he suddenly passed by, and then strode away to the side.
He just paused slightly and imperceptibly as he passed her.
But he didn't stop, didn't speak, or even raised his eyes to look at her seriously.
He strode to the other side of the room, neatly put on the brocade robe when he came, and left the new house.
The dragon and phoenix wedding candle made a thin crackling sound, the wick dragged, and the light dimmed.
Jiuji looked in the direction he left, stunned, and stood silently for a long time.

Before dawn, Grandma Liu quickly entered the room.
She came in unannounced again, and Jiuji sat on the couch and glanced at her.
Aunt Liu didn't understand the meaning in her eyes, so she trotted to the couch.
"Madam, why did the husband leave in the middle of the night last night?!"
She lowered her voice and asked Jiuji, "Didn't it happen?"
Jiuji roughly understood what she meant by "it's done", and she replied, "it's done."
Aunt Liu was even more surprised.
"Then why did the husband leave? Could it be that the lady didn't control her temper and had a quarrel with him?"
Jiuji was not an irritable person, she thought it would be okay if they had a quarrel, but he didn't say anything from beginning to end.
She said no, looked through the many things sent by the lady in charge of the Zhong Mansion this morning, put aside the personnel list, picked up the drawing of the mansion and started to read it.
As soon as she picked it up, she was pushed down by Granny Liu.
"Oh, why do you still have the heart to see this? What's going on with Zhong Heqing? He agreed to the marriage himself, and you were welcomed in by his eight-carriage sedan. It happened again last night, how could he leave you in the middle of the night? gone... ..."
Jiuji was silent.
On the other hand, Aunt Liu looked up and down at her as she spoke, "Does your body hurt, my lady? Are you feeling sore and swollen all over?"
Jiuji felt a little unwell last night, but except for the soreness in her legs, she was fine.
"It doesn't matter," she said.
But Grandma Liu had an angry look on her face.
"Why don't you worry about it? Women can't get anything good in this matter, and they will most likely suffer. This is his first time, and yours is also your first time. Why should he treat you like this?"
This was indeed the first time for Jiu Ji. Mother Liu's words made her not know how to respond.
She inexplicably remembered the scene last night——
Zhong Heqing, with his lips pursed from beginning to end without saying a word, came back from the clean room and walked to the bed, as if he saw her from the corner of his eye. His steps slowed for a moment, but in the end he said nothing, stepping on the cold air under his feet. Stride away...
Jiu Ji was in a daze, but Grandma Liu seemed to be getting angrier as she talked. She put away all the pictures of the Zhong Mansion, as if she wanted to drag Jiu Ji to seek justice from Zhong Heqing.
Until Jiu Ji came back to her senses and interrupted Liu She's words, she just pointed at the picture of Zhong Mansion and said, "Mommy, let's calm down, why don't we go around first."
Aunt Liu was stunned.
Jiu Ji was afraid that she would continue to talk endlessly, so she said she was just wandering around and asked the little maid to send her down to rest.
As soon as Aunt Liu left, Jiu Ji stopped staying any longer and called a servant who was familiar with the Zhong Mansion to accompany her around the Zhong Mansion.
The other little things are not that important, and she won't take too many little things to heart.
Finding the secret medicine was the main focus of her trip.
*
The secret medicine of the raccoon tribe, which can be found within a few feet, is called weasel jade. It is the inner elixir left behind by the great demon of the rat tribe who failed in the calamity before his death. It is a spiritual elixir formed after hundreds of years of absorbing spiritual energy in a place where the auras of humans and demons are mixed.
This weasel jade can refine the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on its own, which is comparable to ordinary elixirs. It may be difficult for other tribes to refine this thing, but for the Li tribe, it is easy to obtain, so it is a sharp weapon for the Li tribe to practice.
It's just that these sharp weapons of the raccoon tribe are ancestral treasures for the rat tribe.
In the past, whether the weasel jade was refined by the raccoon tribe or offered as an offering by the rat tribe depended on who got it first.
But over the past few decades, the rat clan's status in the demon world has continued to rise, and they even instigated the demon law to include Weasel Yu.
The demon law lists weasel jade as a forbidden drug in the demon world. No demon is allowed to secretly refine it, otherwise it will be against the laws of the demon world. Once caught, he will be exiled to the dry sea for thirty years without being able to return.
This ban may not matter to other tribes, but to the raccoon tribe who have been practicing this for thousands of years, the best secret medicine will ruin their lives.
At present, all the Weasel Jade known in the world are in the hands of the Rat Clan, among which the Weasel Jade in the Demon Shop in the capital is the oldest and has the strongest spiritual energy.
In fact, Jiuji always knew where this big jade was, it was in a place called the Jade Rat Cave Palace in the Demon Square of the capital.
It's just that the Jade Rat Cave Palace is heavily guarded, bounded by layers of demonic magic, and has countless internal organs, all just to protect the safety of Weasel Jade. It's impossible for Jiu Ji to steal it from the main entrance.
However, the Jade Rat Cave Palace is made up of hundreds of large and small monster mansions. From the demon world, it looks seamless and spectacular. However, in the mortal realm, the spaces in the Cave Palace belong to different realms in the mortal world. Not one.
Weasel Jade seems to be in the Jade Rat Cave Palace with layers of boundaries, but it is also in a certain house in the capital. It is just that it cannot be discovered by ordinary people because of the magic shield.
This is a rare shortcut.
If Jiuji didn't have Xu Chi, it would be difficult to know where Weitayu was in the mortal world.
But it's different with Xu Chi.
It was just that Jiu Jizai walked around the Zhong Mansion's inner courtyard carefully, but Xu Chi's head was wilted and there was no big reaction at all.
Jiuji went around the kitchen and warehouse again.
The servants all thought it was the lady who came to learn about the situation in the mansion, and they all greeted her respectfully. Xu Chi remained silent during this coming and going. The rules for mortal servants to visit their mistress made Jiu Ji very upset.
When she finally got away, Zhong Heqing came back.
On the second day of the wedding, Aunt Liu said that he would come over in the evening and asked her to keep him overnight.
In this way, Jiu Ji could only stop her activities.
