The disciples rushed forward and treated Ji Hongluan politely and respectfully.
Ji Yunlan folded her arms depressedly, "Tsk, your eldest lady is very obedient in front of our little Chenzi!"
She couldn't help her arrogant temper.
After all, in the palace, she is the woman who is admired by all the stars, and she is just a maid.
Nowadays, the situation is changing, Ji Yunlan is being ignored, and she is naturally unhappy.
One sentence directly interrupted the lively atmosphere, and many eyes fell on her.
"Miss, is this your friend? What are you talking about..."
For Ji Hongluan's sake, they reserved their words, but there was a hint of vigilance and surprise in their eyes.
Although what Ji Yunlan said just now was unpleasant, her appearance was somewhat similar to that of their Valley Master.
illusion?
Xiao Chen twitched his lips in embarrassment, quickly pulled Ji Yunlan to his side, and said with a smile: "Brothers, I'm really sorry. He is used to being arrogant, so don't take it to heart."
"We are indeed Hongluan's friends."
Ji Hongluan also made a brief introduction, and the others did not continue to argue.
Ji Hongluan asked: "Where is my father now?"
One person responded: "According to the habits of the Valley Master, you should have just finished sword practice in the back valley at this time, and now you can rest in the backyard."
"He hurriedly accepted the invitation again. The eldest lady has been traveling for so long, and the Valley Master misses you every day."
"Now that I'm back, I'll guide you."
Ji Hongluan waved her hands cheerfully, "No need, you can continue practicing your sword. I can just take them there and give my dad a surprise."
The others didn't press any further.
Ji Hongluan walked in front, swaying playfully, looking very cute.
As he walked, he warned: "The delicate princess behind you, my father is a serious person. I advise you to behave politely when you see her."
"If I make my father angry, he might not help Brother Xiao."
Xiao Chen also had a headache and soothed Ji Yunlan's arrogant temper: "Just think of it as a favor for me. You should restrain your temper. After all, we are asking for help this time."
Ji Yunlan curled her lips depressedly: "Okay."
"I do it all for Xiaochenzi's sake, definitely not because of anyone!"
She cocked her head and looked around.
There are mountains, flowers, and rivers, and fish can be seen swimming in the clear river water.
Such a scenery is really refreshing.
She was in a good mood and hummed a ditty from time to time.
When we arrived at a simple courtyard, we saw a tall man sitting in the center, sipping tea.
Ji Hongluan's eyes lit up and she waved quickly: "Dad, am I back?"
She stared at the small steps and trotted quickly. Before Ji Zhang could even react, he was suddenly attacked by Ji Hongluan with a bear hug.
Seeing the cup being thrown out, he quickly and accurately caught the cup with his other hand, not even losing half of the tea inside.
Ji Hongluan raised his head, and Ji Zhang was instantly overjoyed: "Honglan, why are you back suddenly?"
"How is it? Miss me!"
Ji Zhang smiled from ear to ear and said generously: "Of course I think about it. I think about it day and night."
"My precious daughter, you are out in the world, and your father is worried about you every day."
Looking at the scene of a loving father and a filial daughter, Ji Yunlan felt a little depressed.
In my impression, Chu Yanwu had never been so considerate to her.
Even if he treats her well, he still seems very distant...
In the face of the true love between father and daughter, she felt an inexplicable envy.
After calming down her emotions a little, Ji Hongluan straightened her body, pulled him and introduced: "Dad, this is Xiao Chen, and the other is Ji Yunlan, they are all my friends."
Ji Zhang raised his head and glanced at Ji Yunlan. While he was surprised, a complicated look flashed in his eyes.
Seeing Ji Zhang in a daze, Ji Hongluan gently pushed his arm: "Dad, what's wrong?"
After regaining his composure, Ji Zhang quickly smiled and said, "It's nothing. Since he is your friend, I should treat him with courtesy."
At this moment, Ji Hongluan's brothers heard the news of her return and rushed over.
"What a good little girl! You look beautiful again after a long time!"
Several people formed a circle around Ji Hongluan, doting on this sister very much.
He was both concerned and joking, making her feel a little embarrassed.
"Brothers, my friends are still here. You guys are just teasing me, but you are not afraid of letting me make a joke in front of them."
"Hahaha, our good sister has grown up and knows how to be shy!"
Several brothers looked at each other, "I didn't know who it was when I was young. She was not as tall as a sword. She would chase after us every day and yell at her to teach her how to practice swords."
Ji Hongluan's face turned red unconsciously.
The brothers wanted to look at her two friends, and they both bowed.
Ji Yunlan is really envious. Ji Hongluan is loved by her father and doted on by her brother.
It's not like the intrigues in the palace, where there's scheming everywhere, and there's no real love anywhere.
Feeling emotional, she looked at the brothers, and the more she looked at them, the more she felt something was wrong.
"Hey, so as brothers and sisters, I don't think you and Ji Hongluan are very similar."
"On the contrary, I, an outsider, look somewhat similar to you brothers."
The brothers were slightly surprised: "Hey, it seems to be true!"
"Not only does he look like us, he also looks a bit like our dad!"
The second child, Ji Cunxi, joked: "Do you think she is our father's secretly born sister?"
Ji Zhang's heart tightened instantly, and he scolded in a low voice: "You bastard, stop talking nonsense here."
"Two distinguished guests have arrived today. If you have nothing to do, go prepare the dinner and entertain them in the evening."
Just be happy if you're happy. How come you're angry when you're doing fine?
The brothers were a little depressed and followed the orders one after another.
Ji Zhang Daliang's eyes widened, and Yun Lan said bitterly: "Girl, I'm really sorry. That's how they are. They talk without restraint, so don't take it seriously."
Ji Yunlan waved her hands repeatedly: "It's okay, it's okay. In fact, I had such a ridiculous idea just now."
"You see, your daughter and I both have the same surname, and we all look so similar to you and several of your brothers. It's hard not to think about her."
If she hadn't called Chu Yuan her father for more than fifty years, she might have had to confess her kinship with Ji Zhang.
Hearing what she said, Ji Zhang looked even sadder.
The atmosphere was inexplicably awkward, and Xiao Chen was slightly confused.
It was obviously their first meeting, so why did Ji Zhang's attitude toward Ji Yunlan seem a little special?
Although he didn't say anything, he seemed to be hiding some unknown secret.
At this moment, Ji Hongluan broke the deadlock and glared at Ji Yunlan angrily: "Huh, don't think about it. If I had a sister like you, I would have to pack my bags and run away overnight."
