Chapter 61: Things Aren't Going Well
After listening to the girl's briefing, Gao's slender eyebrows furrowed. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
If it is an ordinary craftsman, it is just that, this time the person in charge of the repair of the palace is the craftsman who built a separate garden for the Jixing Marquis Mansion, and he is a close confidant of the Ministry of Works. Such a person, if you see it, it is not very polite, and if you don't see it, you can't say it.
In the end, Gao Shi waved his hand and said lightly: "Call them to wait in the main hall." ”
Ji Shi looked at the announcement girl and stepped back respectfully, and a sneer quietly slipped across the corners of her mouth. Immediately, she said as if unintentionally: "Old lady, the old lady is coming back soon, let's just wait." ”
Gao half-closed his eyes and nodded silently. It's just that Wang Guanghe has not been very smooth in the court recently, and he always returns home late, as if he is entangled in something.
It didn't take long for Qiu Yue to walk into Fulongxuan, she looked at the old lady sitting in the middle, and then whispered a few words to Ji.
Old Taijun Gao raised his head and said a little unhappily: "What's the matter, secretly speaking, to avoid me?" ”
The Ji family seemed to be very embarrassed when he heard this, and finally owed the Gao family, and said, "It's nothing...... It is...... It's the master, he may ...... today. I'll be back later......"
"Coming back late?" Gao sighed, "You don't have to hide such a thing from me, what's going on with Guanghe these days, why did you return every day?" ”
Ji's eyes seemed to be slightly filled with tears, and his head was buried very low, not at all the arrogant and domineering appearance on weekdays, as if a daughter-in-law who had just entered the door, and she was frightened everywhere: "The daughter-in-law didn't mean to deceive the old lady, but the old man was inexplicably ginseng a few folds in the past few days, saying that the old man was imprisoned and ......."
"Is there such a thing?" Gao Shi Huo Di sat up straight, his eyes exuding uncontrollable anger, "What's going on now, why didn't you tell me earlier?" ”
"Now that the lord's innocence has been proven, but the saint still has some doubts, and he needs the lord to stay in the palace for a while longer, and it will be before the saint trusts the lord again. The reason why the daughter-in-law didn't tell the old lady about this was because she didn't want the old lady to bother, and we who are children can only do this......"
After that, Ji wiped his tears with his sleeves, and actually began to cry.
Although Gao has always been serious, he loves children very much, Wang Guanglin and Wang Guanghe were taught by her, and now that there is such a problem, she blames herself.
The old lady sighed, took off the jasper Buddha beads on his left hand, turned them one by one, and muttered: "Guanghe has always been cautious in doing things, I don't know why he was inexplicably involved this time." ”
"Hey, old lady, my daughter-in-law won't hide it from you, something has indeed happened in the house recently." Ji said as he observed Gao's expression.
If he said such a thing on weekdays, Gao would not take it to heart at all. This noble-born old lady has a natural stubbornness in his bones, and he will not believe other people's words easily. But if you take care of her weakness in advance, you must still be able to fight.
Sure enough, the old lady said, "What's wrong in the house, you can tell me." ”
Ji sat up straight, with a sad face: "The master has been busy enough for a while, and the daughter-in-law is not good at saying unlucky things." You know, Jing'er has a pair of red gold butterfly Yingluo, which was given by the old lady when she was full moon, and she likes it the most, but this Yingluo has rusty spots today. ”
"What?" Rusty spots? This is a strange thing in the world!
Ji Shi continued unhurriedly: "Then there are the girls of Chonghuayuan, one after another are unwell, only Qiuyue is with me today, and everyone else is resting in the courtyard, I really can't serve." ”
Jing Yan, who had been silent on the side, had already realized that something was wrong, and with such words, he was secretly saying that the palace didn't seem to be smooth recently.
"If I am not feeling well, my mother should come to see the doctor, and let them come and serve my mother as soon as possible."
Ji had already prepared the answer, and immediately said: "What Yan'er said is that I asked Rong's mother to find a doctor as soon as possible, but the other party said that there was no problem, let me rest more, this sentence, when will it be a head!" ”
Jing Yan was expressionless, and met Ji's eyes with complicated expressions: "There are many girls and mothers-in-law waiting to serve their mother in the house, so let them replace them first." ”
"Yes, but after all, it is a person who has served for many years, and it may not be good to change others. I also saw that they were pitiful, so I simply let them rest more. ”
Old Taijun Gao showed a look of approval when she heard this.
Ji Shi paused and continued: "Later, I found a time and went to the nunnery, and the nun said that our family seems to have recruited something unclean, but it's okay, find the crux of the problem, and it's okay." ”
Gao's hand holding the Buddha beads stopped, raised his eyes and asked, "Did you find it?" ”
Ji shook his head: "At least three more days." ”
Three days? Gao's brows furrowed again, let Wang Guanghe suffer for another three days, if there can only be any big problems in this mansion in these three days, but the gains outweigh the losses.
Seeing Gao's face becoming more and more ugly, Ji's heart blossomed, and with the consent of Mrs. Gao, even if you Jingyan flew into the sky, he could tear you off!
She glanced at Qiu Yue, and the other party immediately raised her voice and said, "Madam, the craftsmen can't wait, they say that they are going to see you now, if there is a discussion!" ”
The old lady nodded and immediately arrived: "Let's go over!" ”
Everyone in Fulong Xuan stood up, and Ji Shi said to Jing Yan for a long time: "Yan'er also followed?" ”
Jing Yan smiled faintly, ignoring the yin and yang weirdness in Ji's words, and said softly: "Since grandmother and mother are gone, Yan'er has no reason not to go." ”
Very good, very good, I just want you to go! Ji Shi smiled coldly, but his face was extremely soft, and he pulled Jing Yan to the main hall together.
There were already three or five craftsmen waiting inside, and when they saw Gao and the others entering, they all bowed to the ground and bowed.
Gao nodded lightly, and immediately asked: "What happened to you, you are in such a hurry, can't you wait for the master to come back?" ”
The leader was an overseer surnamed Lu, who bowed again, and then said: "Old lady, I can't hide it, it's some situations in your mansion that need to be reported." ”
"Oh? Just discuss the above matters with the housekeeper. ”
Lu Gong's face was very ugly, he almost couldn't control his tone, and hurriedly said: "Old lady, there are termites in the house!" ”
During the time of the first emperor, there was a termite plague, and later the first emperor spent countless sums of money to finally eliminate this termite plague. Therefore, in the Shangyuan Dynasty, termites were regarded as ominous, a sign of the imminent destruction of a family and an empire.
How could such a thing happen to the Wang family!
