Chapter Forty-Two

don't touch

"Why is it called Yanyun Villa?" Qin Jun said to himself all the way.

Ji Si: "Your Majesty's fine print?"

Qin Jun immediately bent her eyes: "It's possible, but I guess it has something to do with it, you see—"

The two of them had already climbed to the middle of the mountain. Looking down from the mountainside, the last ray of the setting sun shone on the stream in the mountain. Fog had begun to form in the mountain, like clouds like fog.A good view.

"There is a source of water on the top of the mountain." Ji Si said, tightening the cloak for Qin Jun.

Qin Jun nodded: "It's not cold, it may be snow, this mountain is so high, we may not have reached the mountainside yet."

After walking for a long time, the sky was completely dark, and it would be dark to go up, and it was not suitable for riding a horse, otherwise the terrain was steep and it was easy to fall down the mountain.

"Go back." Ji Si turned her horse's head, and was about to go down the mountain with Qin Jun, when a voice came from the side of the mountain with her back.

Qin Jun was so tired that she was about to fall asleep. Sitting in Ji Si's arms, she was jolted to the destination, moaning/groaning: "It hurts..."

"It'll be here soon." Ji Si said, and put her hand on Qin Jun's thigh very intimately.

Qin Jun moved uncomfortably, looked up at Ji Si, and asked, "Aren't you in pain?"

"It hurts," Ji Si said lightly, "but I am happy from the bottom of my heart."

Qin Jun felt the arms around her tighten, and that feeling was as if her heart tightened along with it.

"Princess!" The dark guard shouted, holding up the only light source in the entire mountain.

Ji Si walked towards the torch, and beside the dark guard, she saw an old woman who was nearly sixty years old, looking at Qin Jun and Ji Si who came riding on horseback with a bad expression.

"Get off the horse!" The old woman tapped her cane lightly.

Qin Jun: "..."

Ji Si got off the horse first, and then carefully helped Qin Jun down. Qin Jun seldom rode a horse. At this moment, his thigh was so painful that he staggered and almost knelt when he got off the horse.

"Be careful." Ji Si helped her up in time.

Qin Jun: "Well, old lady..."

The old woman: "I'm Nanny Tian."

Qin Jun nodded, "Nurse Tian, are you the guardian of the mountain?"

"The old woman is the guardian of the mountain." Tian Nanny is not young, but her eyes are bright, she looked Qin Jun up and down, and said, "Come in with me."

Outside the gate of the villa is a grass-to-knee open space. Going forward, you can see a huge house built against the mountain, with flying eaves and brackets faintly visible, which is as big as a palace in Capital.

Ji Si took the torch from the dark guard and said, "Call everyone here."

The dark guard was ordered to do it, and Ji Si accompanied Qin Jun into the villa with the old woman.

The gate of the villa is very majestic. When you enter, you will see the screen wall pointing straight to the sky. In front of the screen wall is a half-human deep pond, which should be used to store water and grow ornamental lotus.

On both sides of the screen wall, two corridors connect the main hall, one on the left and one on the right, forming a long and large courtyard with the gate corridor of the main hall and the gate of the villa.

Two cloisters extend from both sides of the patio, along the way of artificial mangosteen, bamboo and wood, enter through the arched door on the side of the corridor, and you can enter the backyard and get to the place of residence.

The old woman walked in front, and Qin Jun wondered if she should say something, but the dilapidated villa under the torches first attracted her attention.

Qin Jun: "..."

In addition to the grand structure, spider silk, rotten walls, rotten wood, moss-covered stone steps and screen walls also come into view.

Ji Si raised the torch from the right to the left, and placed two logs horizontally in the pavilion. The paintings on the inner wall of the pavilion are still intact.

Qin Jun narrowed her eyes slightly, staring in a daze at a painting on the wall with a spider on her back standing in a nest, and said in a daze, "A hundred birds chasing the phoenix...is it true?"

The old woman said: "It is the authentic work by Mrs. Bi, the first painter in the previous dynasty."

Qin Jun slowly opened her mouth wide, "Madam Bi..."

A drop of water fell from the sky and landed on Qin Jun's face.

Qin Jun: "...Is it raining?"

The old woman brought Qin Jun from the front to the backyard, and introduced the small courtyards of various wing rooms.Send people to build the villa, probably..."

The old woman had a hard time remembering, Qin Jun reminded, "Mommy, it's been almost fifteen years."

"Yanyun Villa was first built, and a piece of land was taken from the north of Jiang Prefecture to the south of Jiang Prefecture, connecting the north and the south, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and set up a villa on the mountainside."Some of the copper lamps on the wall of the corridor are on, while others are not. "Your Majesty's betrothal gift is more than a thousand pieces of gold. Every plant and tree in this place was the best used when it was built."

Qin Jun's expression can no longer be described in surprise. She moved closer to touch the stone and wood. Needless to say, the stone can be used after washing off the moss. As for the wood, as long as it is on the beams of the house or in the house, it looks like good wood.Qin Jun stepped on a rotten log, wondering where this pile of wood came from, and squatted down to study it with her feet.

Mother Tian said, "This is firewood that the old woman picked up from the mountains."

Qin Jun was flustered immediately, and was about to move her feet, but was caught by Ji Si's armpit, and she was carried out of the firewood.

"The empress gave birth to the prince, and when the prince was twelve years old, she got Lin'er again."

Ji Si corrected Nanny Tian's words: "Princess."

Mother Tian said to herself: "At that time, the empress was burdened by affection. On the one hand, she wanted to escape from the high wall of the forbidden center, but on the other hand she couldn't let go of His Majesty, and she couldn't bear the emperor's continuous concubine. The conflict between the two gradually deepened. The empress ordered someoneHe secretly built a villa in Jiang Prefecture’s hometown, and only waited for the princess to be born in the next day, so he would bring her back to Jiang Prefecture to raise himself, and wait for the little princess to grow up.

Qin Jun bit her lips tightly, "Difficulties successively..."

Nanny Tian nodded, and took Qin Jun and Ji Si to the back kitchen to scoop up water to make a fire. Qin Jun carried the bucket with her and filled the pot with water.Dying, she was full of regrets before she passed away, and she hoped that her children could enjoy a piece of world to themselves in the future."

Mother Tian said: "Then I tore the deed into two halves, leaving half for the child in my womb, and half for the old woman, so that we can recognize each other in the future."

Qin Jun took out the silk cloth from her bosom and handed it to Nanny Tian: "I..."

Nanny Tian turned around, her face was pale, she didn't even look at the land deed, she saluted Qin Jun respectfully, "With this facial features, the first time an old woman sees Miss, she knows that she is the mother's flesh and blood."

Qin Jun was completely speechless, her eyes were slightly red.

Ji Si caressed Qin Jun's back from behind, and patted her comfortingly twice.

Grandma Tian: "Princess, don't worry about it. Your Majesty has always been daring to love and hate. When it comes to your majesty, she never regretted marrying him and having a pair of children. She only regrets not taking good care of the prince and princess. She is in the spirit of heaven, and she doesn't want to see it.The princess is sad."

"It's getting late, the hot water is ready, and there is food in the food box. The princess has a rest, so she can choose a room to sleep at will," Tian said.

Qin Jun had no choice but to nod, and sent Nanny Tian away.

At this time, the rest of the people also climbed up from the mountain. Everyone was so tired that they could only simply clean up a few empty rooms, prepare to eat and drink, and then go to bed first.

The mountain was empty and silent, Qin Jun finished his meal, and while Ji Si was fetching water to clean the bed, he dug out Li Yueying's memorial tablet, put it on the incense table, and stared at the flickering incense sticks in a daze after offering the incense.

"Why did the princess offer two incense sticks?" Ji Si asked suddenly.

Qin Jun came back to her senses, smiled and said, "Good things come in pairs? Well, I will help my father."

Ji Si stopped asking, and said, "Let's rest."

In the middle of the night, the two slept with their arms around each other.

Being hugged by Ji Si, Qin Jun always felt soft and comfortable in her arms, as soft as a cloud.

"You said, she was my mother first and last, what kind of person is she?" Qin Jun asked suddenly.

Ji Si turned sideways, flicked out the candles in the house with her fingers, and said, "I don't know."

Qin Jun acted like a baby: "Guess, just talk about it."

"A hero among women." Ji Si said casually.

Qin Jun smiled: "It's really perfunctory."

Ji Si then said, "It must be beautiful, otherwise a princess would not be born."

Qin Jun's smile deepened: "Oh, you can talk sweetly."

"I'm not sick, I'm not sick, I'm telling the truth." Ji Si explained seriously with a smile, and then seemed to want to kiss Qin Jun's cheek.

Qin Jun dodged vigilantly before her breath came, "What are you doing?"

Ji Si: "If you don't sleep, do something else."

Qin Jun: "...Are you going to mess with that red book again?"

Ji Si said in a low voice: "When I feel itchy, I often get up in the middle of the night to write two strokes."

"...Monster!" Qin Jun yelled, feeling his face was burning hot like coals in a stove.

Ji Si curled her lips, "Princess, when will you not feel awkward sleeping with slaves anymore?"

Qin Jun lowered her head, the night was too dark, she couldn't see anything except Ji Si's dimly lit eyes, but she could clearly feel the warmth of the hands, feet and chest of the two who were touching each other through the thin clothes.

Qin Jun: "..."

It's really a habit that becomes natural, and it naturally kills people.

Qin Jun said stubbornly: "Wait...spring is over, summer is coming, I won't cuddle to sleep when the weather is hot."

Ji Si lazily said, "Really."

Qin Jun: "Yes!"

Qin Jun was restless, and hugged Ji Si's arms back and forth, and then she was held down by Ji Si's waist before she calmed down.

Ji Si: "I haven't seen before and after, but I think, the empress must love the princess very much."

I am a Xibei guy, of course she loves the sixth princess very much, and the sixth princess is also a mother, although she has never met her, she has the same courage.Qin Jun thought to herself, the sixth princess dared to sacrifice herself for the country, and she thought that she followed Li Yueying in her flesh and blood, and inherited the blood of the Li family.

Even the prince and the brother of the sixth princess died under the chaos of the princes.Qin Bian was in the prime of his life when he was in power. In order to protect the emperor, the prince blocked an arrow for Qin Bian. The arrow shot through the heart on the spot, and there was no cure for it.

"Understanding the past and not remonstrating, the one who knows the future can be chased," Qin Jun sighed, "The more you think about it, the more sad you become, go to sleep."

But Ji Si murmured after Qin Jun closed her eyes: "I don't know where this slave came from."

The next day, under the orders of Nanny Tian and Xiao Taozi, everyone began to clean Yanyun Villa thoroughly.

In such a big Zhuangzi, when it was time to clean up, everyone was so busy that their feet were on the ground, but Qin Jun was too idle. He was not allowed to do this, and he was not allowed to do that, even Qin Jun was not allowed to touch the cleaning table.

Ji Si: "The water source in the mansion comes from the stone spring and snow on the top of the mountain. It is bitingly cold. The princess should be careful not to catch a cold."

Ji Si: "Don't touch it."

Ji Si: "Let it go."

Ji Si: "Huh? Don't touch it."

Qin Jun was only in the courtyard, and practiced sleeve arrows at the fallen leaves boredly. He could only hit one or two of the ten fallen leaves.After shooting, picked up the six arrows that had been shot everywhere, inserted them back into the sleeve arrows at random, and went back to reading when got tired of playing with them several times.

The most urgent thing is to find a way to make money. The mountains are full of trees, so why not cut down trees and sell them?Jiang Prefecture is so poor, twelve counties and counties are not as prosperous as a small city-state under Capital rule.

Qin Jun was thinking about something with a book in his hand, his brows were frowning, and seeing Ji Si, he said casually, "Have you sent someone to the inn to call for someone?"

Ji Si: "Yes."

Qin Jun: "When will Jin Xiu come back?"

Ji Si stopped talking.

Qin Jun put the book aside and said, "I've finished practicing arrows, when will you teach me how to practice martial arts?"

"Princess doesn't need to practice," Ji Si carried the broom, turned over the stone wall, and squatted down to sweep the fallen leaves from the cornice, "I will protect you."

Qin Jun: "What if? I said what if, you're not by my side?"

Ji Si said lightly: "There is still Jin Xiu."

Qin Jun: "Jin Xiu isn't here right now, eating, drinking, and messing around, there will always be times when you won't be by my side."

Ji Si glanced sideways at Qin Jun, and flew down from the eaves, her skirt was elegant, very pretty.

Qin Jun saw it eagerly: "Teach me, teach me."

Ji Si: "Okay."

This agrees?Qin Jun looked at Ji Si in surprise, "When will I start learning?"

Ji Si smiled: "When slaves practice swords, the princess will follow suit."

Qin Jun nodded, "Then are you practicing now?"

Ji Si: "Now we have to clean the villa."

"...Okay," Qin Jun reluctantly said, "If Jin Xiu disagrees, you have to persuade me."

The villa is huge, with hundreds of wing rooms, divided into four courtyards in the southeast, northwest, and a tall front hall with the front yard connected to the patio.Everyone was cleaning one yard after another, and found that there was still a ladder in the warehouse, so they moved the ladder and swept the eaves.

In the afternoon, the roof was dripping everywhere, and the Yanyun Villa was wet everywhere.From He Yi to He Shisan, thirteen children of different ages all rolled up the sleeves of their trouser legs, stepped on wet handkerchiefs, or held rags, and walked on all fours in the corridor, moving from one end to the other, and from one end to the other.The other end flew to this end, laughing and laughing for a while, full of children's laughter.

Qin Jun also wanted to join, and reminded with a smile, "Don't fall." Just as she took off her shoes and socks, she was caught by Ji Si.

"..."

Ji Si finally got angry: "Don't show your feet."

Qin Jun: "...feudalism."

"If you are seen, I will only poke the eyes of thirteen boys and girls blind." Ji Si raised her eyes, her eyes were cold, but the corners of her lips were raised.

"..."

Qin Jun suddenly felt resentful, put on her shoes and ran to watch Xiao Taozi count the money bank.
