Chapter 423
After checking the entire book of family rules over and over again, Ji Yunqing sat upright, his confidence gradually growing.
We worked hard to write so many family rules, so that children don’t have any room to cause trouble!
Ji Yunqing patted the family rules in his hand that smelled of ink, and put them into a small box like a treasure, and then put them into an inconspicuous box.
——Based on my experience of hiding small picture albums, the bookshelf is an extremely unsafe place.
After packing up his things, Ji Yunqing opened the door: "Where did the fourth young master go to play? What is he doing now?"
"Return to the Master"
The maid replied, "The fourth young master and the young princess are talking under the persimmon tree outside the courtyard, and they have ordered that no one is allowed to serve them."
Ji Yunqing nodded: "I understand."
When did Ruirui become so close to the little princess?
It’s not that Ji Yunqing dislikes the little girl, it’s just that the little princess is older than the eldest son in the mansion.
Can a seven or eight-year-old kid play with a kid who is less than two years old?
Don’t people think he is childish?
However, Ji Yunqing did not have any bad intentions to stop him. Just like Ruirui making friends and playing with other children in the mansion, this was just the interaction between children.
A child's social skills are developed slowly, and one cannot lock a person in a cage from a young age. Ji Yunqing has no intention of raising a pervert with a dark and twisted mind.
Outside the yard, under the big persimmon tree
This place is very close to the Osmanthus Courtyard. There is an open space under the tree and stone tables and chairs for people to rest. Ji Yunqing often eats snacks and enjoys the cool breeze here.
At this time, two children were sitting opposite each other.
The other servants were ordered not to get close easily, but to watch from afar and wait for the young master's orders.
Ruirui lay on the table, her fair and tender chin resting on the rough stone table, her round eyes half closed, and her little eyebrows wrinkled.
"Sister, don't worry, we'll think of a solution."
A baby's voice sounded, but the child with delicate features showed a hint of calmness.
The little girl shook her head gently, her beautiful brows could not be relaxed, and tears welled up in her eyes.
"It's no use, my mother agreed."
"I'm afraid the wedding will be arranged soon."
She is not a crybaby normally, but now the little girl feels really aggrieved and upset.
Ruirui really didn't understand: "Sister, isn't this your business? Is it okay if you don't agree?"
"Although it is my business, it is not my business." After Gu Zhiyao said this, her eyes turned red.
But as an elder sister, she still cares about her reputation and is unwilling to shed tears in front of her younger brothers and sisters.
Looking at the confused eyes of the little guy in front of her, Gu Zhiyao's beautiful eyes were filled with a bitter smile: "Forget it, just go and have fun, don't get involved in these things, that's all."
She wouldn't have known about this if she hadn't heard her mother and aunt discussing her marriage, wanting her to marry her ugly cousin who wet the bed at the age of six, ran around all day, and was ugly.
After hearing that, she was unwilling.
So she told her mother, but her mother said that the matter had already been settled and it was all for her own good, and she would naturally understand when she grew up.
She doesn't understand!
I don't understand either.
I don’t know what the mother is thinking. She doesn’t like Gu Zhiyao, an eight-year-old child, so is Gu Zhiyao, a sixteen-year-old girl, so short-sighted?
Did she go blind all of a sudden at that time?
Her mother was very picky about other things for her, such as the bowl of rice she had at noon and her daily clothes and jewelry, but she could not be casual about her marriage.
She felt really upset, so she ran to a remote and deserted waterside place and stared blankly.
I thought no one would pass by there, but who knew where this little guy came from?
Come and tell her that the waterside is dangerous and ask her to stay away from it.
How did Gu Zhiyao answer at that time?
She said: "If I fall, I will fall. I will die."
This statement provoked the child to strongly object: "No, you will sprout in the water!" Just like soybeans and mung beans will sprout when soaked in water.
The child insisted on taking her away and kept asking her what was wrong.
Gu Zhiyao didn't want to say it at first, but later she thought that the child was still young and it didn't matter if she told him. He would forget everything when he grew up.
After Ruirui heard the whole story, and heard that the princess would go to her parents' home tomorrow, she insisted on pretending to be a girl and going along with her sister to talk things out with her aunt and the ugly child.
Don't bully his sister!
As a result, his clothes were gone, and he couldn't sneak in because his sister was surrounded by girls and he, a boy, was too obvious.
Ruirui could only think of another solution.
Gu Zhiyao hesitated to speak: In fact, it would be obvious even if she was wearing women's clothes. Who would go out with a maid who is less than two years old?
Who takes care of whom?
Hearing his sister say such things now, he was totally incredulous.
"What's that?"
How can someone be so... so easy to talk to?
Ruirui stood up and said, "Sister, this can't happen."
"But... there's nothing I can do."
"Why is there no way?" Ruirui pursed her lips seriously, her round eyes wide open, with a clear distinction between black and white.
"If mother doesn't agree, we'll go find father. Anyway, you are not allowed to say there is no other way!"
Looking for father?
Gu Zhiyao was completely stunned.
Ruirui jumped off the chair and came over to hold her sister's hand.
"Let's go now"
now go?
Gu Zhiyao became panicked.
"No, this won't work, will it?"
"My mother always said that my father was very busy, so children had to be well-behaved and obedient, and not cause trouble for him, in order to win his love."
"It doesn't matter to me, sister. You will get married sooner or later, but you must not make father angry."
Ruirui still held her hand tightly, and said in a childish but firm voice: "What are you afraid of? Sister, you are the king's daughter, and I am the king's son. Can he beat us to death?"
Gu Zhiyao: “…I can’t”
"That's all, what's there to be afraid of?"
Ruirui also specifically reminded her: "If the king gets angry and starts to beat us, you run away quickly, and I run away quickly too. We run separately. He can't beat both of us at the same time."
"If it really hits you, just scream louder and more miserably, don't just cry. You're not afraid of rain alone, but the thunder and rain will be the worst."
Gu Zhiyao: “…”
What did Concubine Ji teach you every day?
Thinking about the troubles this child had caused, Gu Zhiyao felt extremely complicated.
Concubine Ji really took a lot of trouble.
The two children soon arrived at the front yard.
"Sister, I'm standing in front. I'm short and you can't see me if you stand in the back."
As she spoke, Ruirui took the initiative to stand in front.
He looked up at the guards at the door and said, "I want to see my father. It's important."
Looking at the small figure standing in front of her, Gu Zhiyao had a complicated look in her eyes. Her mother always said that the brothers and sisters born by her father were useless, but in fact there were still some very good ones.
