EBE Chapter 115 Deal
Chapter 115 Deal
Ji Yunlin had just finished writing an article when there was a knock on the door outside the yard.
"Master Ji, Madam has asked me to bring you a midnight snack."
Ji Yunlin put down the pen in his hand, smiled slightly, looked up at the door, and a hint of warmth flashed in his eyes.
"Come in." Ji Yunlin said gently.
The door slowly opened, and the maid Xiang Zhu came in carrying a food box. Her face was filled with joy, and her eyes were full of admiration and love for Ji Yunlin.
"Master Ji, this is the midnight snack made by my wife. She said you have worked hard and asked you to eat something." Xiang Zhu put the food box on the table and opened it while taking out the steaming food.
Ji Yunlin looked at the food in the lunch box and felt a warm feeling in his heart.
"Madam is so considerate." Ji Yunlin praised.
At this time, Lu Yundi walked in. She walked lightly, with a smile on her face, and her eyes were full of appreciation and concern for Ji Yunlin.
"Master Ji, do you like the midnight snack?" asked Lu Yundi.
"It's made by Madam herself, so it must be delicious." Ji Yunlin replied with a smile.
When Lu Yundi heard Ji Yunlin's answer, she smiled with satisfaction. She sat opposite Ji Yunlin, her eyes showing deep concern.
"Master Ji, you have been very busy recently. I also know that you work day and night for Canglan's studies. But you should also take care of your health and not overwork yourself." Lu Yundi said softly.
"Don't worry, ma'am. I will take care of myself." Ji Yunlin comforted her.
"Master Ji, Madam, please enjoy your meal. I'll be leaving first." Xiang Zhu bowed slightly, then turned and left.
Only Ji Yunlin and Lu Yundi were left in the room. They sat opposite each other, quietly enjoying the peaceful night. The light reflected on their faces, making them look even more gentle.
"Master Ji, what have you been busy with recently?" asked Lu Yundi.
Ji Yunlin smiled slightly and told her about his recent affairs one by one. Lu Yundi listened carefully, nodded from time to time, and his eyes were full of admiration for Ji Yunlin.
"Master Ji, you are really amazing. You can handle so many affairs and write such beautiful articles." Lu Yundi exclaimed.
Ji Yunlin felt a little shy when he heard Lu Yundi's praise. He looked at Lu Yundi and said with a smile, "Madam, you are too kind. I just tried my best to make a contribution to the Marquis' Mansion."
……
"You? Why are you here?" Ji Yunlin was shocked when he saw Lu Wanqing breaking into his room! He hurriedly tidied up his clothes and tried his best to hide his panic.
Lu Wanqing walked lightly in front of Ji Yunlin. She was wearing a lavender silk dress, smiling and leisurely. She raised her chin slightly, with a hint of provocation in her eyes: "Master Ji, why can't I be here? This is not your forbidden place."
Ji Yunlin frowned, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. This girl Lu Wanqing was indeed just like his sister Lu Yundi, very smart and difficult to deal with. He said in a deep voice: "Miss Wanqing, you misunderstood. This is just my temporary residence, and I didn't mean to hide it."
Lu Wanqing smiled lightly, with a cunning light flashing in her eyes: "Master Ji, you don't have to hide it. My sister cares about you very much and asked me to come and see you. Now that I'm here, I want to ask you, why do you live deep in the mansion of the Loyal and Brave Marquis and don't want to see anyone?"
Ji Yunlin was silent for a moment, weighing the pros and cons in his mind, and decided to tell the truth: "Miss Wanqing, to be honest, I came to the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion this time to find an ancient book that has been lost for a long time. This book is very important to my research on metaphysics and numerology, so I must keep it secret."
Lu Wanqing's eyes flashed with surprise. She didn't expect Ji Yunlin to be so frank. She nodded gently: "I see, Master Ji is indeed worthy of his reputation. So, have you found the ancient book?"
Ji Yunlin shook his head: "It has not been found yet. However, I believe that the book is in the Loyalty and Bravery Marquis's Mansion. It's just that the Loyalty and Bravery Marquis's Mansion is too big, so it's quite difficult to find."
Lu Wanqing rolled his eyes and suggested, "Master Ji, if that's the case, why don't you let me help you look for it? My sister is the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, and she might be able to provide some clues."
Ji Yunlin hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded: "Since Miss Wanqing is willing to help, then I'll trouble you. However, this matter must be kept secret and cannot be known to others."
Lu Wanqing smiled playfully: "Master Ji, don't worry, I know my limits. But you have to promise me one thing."
Ji Yunlin frowned: "What's the matter?"
A sly look flashed across Lu Wanqing's eyes: "If you find that ancient book, you must agree to one condition of mine."
Ji Yunlin looked at Lu Wanqing in confusion: "What conditions?"
Lu Wanqing approached Ji Yunlin and whispered, "If I help you find that ancient book, you must promise to teach me metaphysics and numerology."
Ji Yunlin didn't expect Lu Wanqing to make such a condition. He hesitated for a moment, and finally agreed: "Okay, as long as you help me find that ancient book, I am willing to teach you metaphysics and numerology."
A hint of joy flashed in Lu Wanqing's eyes. She stretched out her little finger and hooked it with Ji Yunlin's: "Deal!"
Ji Yunlin looked at Lu Wanqing's serious eyes and couldn't help feeling a strange feeling in his heart.
"Wanqing, you know that metaphysics and numerology are very important and not so easy to master." Ji Yunlin said earnestly.
Lu Wanqing smiled slightly, his eyes full of confidence: "I know, Master Ji, but I am willing to try. Even if the road ahead is bumpy, I will not back down."
Ji Yunlin looked at her and nodded secretly in his heart.
Lu Wanqing began to search for the ancient book in Yan Mansion. She sometimes pondered, sometimes consulted the collection of books, and sometimes asked the old servants in the mansion. Ji Yunlin was waiting for her good news in the study, and at the same time, he was thinking about how to teach her metaphysics and numerology.
One day, Lu Wanqing found a yellowed ancient book in the library of Yan Mansion. She excitedly took the book to Ji Yunlin and said, "Master Ji, I found it! This is the ancient book you are looking for."
Ji Yunlin took the book and flipped through it carefully for a moment, with a hint of joy in his eyes: "Yes, this is exactly the ancient book I'm looking for. Wanqing, you did a great job."
Lu Wanqing looked at Ji Yunlin, his eyes full of anticipation: "Master Ji, when do we start learning metaphysics and numerology?"
Ji Yunlin smiled slightly and said, "Let's start from now. Wanqing, metaphysics and numerology require the right time, right place and right people. Let's start with the basics and then gradually go deeper."
So, Ji Yunlin began to teach Lu Wanqing metaphysics and numerology in the study. Whenever Lu Wanqing encountered difficulties, Ji Yunlin always patiently answered her questions. Lu Wanqing also showed an amazing learning talent. She not only understood quickly, but also could draw inferences from one example.
Lu Wanqing frowned, looked at the ancient book in his hand, and asked, "Master Ji, what does this spell mean?"
