Chapter 28: Conjecture

It was getting late, and in the hibiscus courtyard, Bai Zhi and Bai Lan had already lit their own lights, and under the eaves outside the door, two red lanterns were swaying in the wind, indicating that the day was coming to an end. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Ji Nianyan had been away for a while, and the tea served to her was still on the small table, but the cup had long since run out of heat.

Ji Nianjin looked at the cup and was engrossed, maintaining the posture of supporting her head with one hand for a long time.

She was thinking about what Ji Nianyan said when she left.

"Second sister, in this house, who grandmother likes the most, you won't know, so, a sister is here today, just to persuade my sister, people should have self-knowledge, obviously there is a ladder to the sky in front of you, why don't you climb up, why do you resist and disgust?

We are all serious girls, in this Hou Mansion, it is the grandmother who has the final say, what kind of situation will be in the future, no one can say, so, don't feel that you have any capital, perhaps, in the eyes of others, those capital are not worth mentioning!

You know, people who know how to think and plan for themselves are successful. ”

When she said this, Ji Nianyan was proud, her eyes were full of disdain for her, she believed that with Ji Nianyan's temperament, if she could come to the hibiscus courtyard to say these words to her, someone must have given her advice, otherwise, Ji Nianyan would not have so much patience.

Ji Nianyan is a person who thinks that even talking to her is cheap, is it that the sun is coming out of the west today?

Unless, in this mansion, someone has said something to her, so that even if she is impatient, Ji Nianyan has to do things.

So who told Ji Nianyan?

Ji Nianjin has two answers to this question, one is Xiao Li, and the other is her stepgrandmother Li.

Ji Nianjin is more inclined to be the Li family, because Ji Nianyan spends the most time in Yaoxi Hall every day, and the Li family will tell Ji Nianyan anything about it, and in her previous life, she was quite envious and longing.

If it's true ...

Ji Nianjin thought of this, and her heart tightened!

If it is true, it means that no matter what happened in the previous life, in this life, the Li family and Sanfang are already planning to take the power of the Hou Mansion into their hands, and even when they saw their father return home safely this time, they had to change their strategy, and maybe there will be bigger and more conspiracies waiting for Dafang.

Ji Nianyan's wooing this time is just one of the means?

On the small table, the cup of cold tea was accepted by Bai Zhi, and it was replaced by a jade table lamp of the boy Tuolian.

The sudden light brought Ji Nianjin back from his contemplation, and at this time, it was completely dark outside.

"Girl, but you have encountered troubles, the slave and maid have been sitting here since the fourth girl left, and her brows are furrowed."

Bai Zhi put a hot stove into Ji Nianjin's hand and looked at Ji Nianjin carefully.

"It's okay, it's just that I'm a little unsure about the purpose of the fourth sister's visit."

Ji Nianjin smiled and said that he didn't care.

Bai Zhi was a little worried, not to mention Ji Nianjin, even she, who was a maid, could see that the words that the four girls came to Ji Nianjin today were not simple.

"Girl, could it be that the old lady is suspicious, so she asked the fourth girl to come and see?"

Bai Zhi worried.

"It's okay, don't worry, the old lady is not suspicious. I guess it should be the fourth sister's own meaning, you know, in this house, who else can compare to her? The most unwilling to suffer.

Today, the eldest sister should be annoyed by the fourth sister, so the fourth sister will come to woo me so that I can listen to her.

Don't think about it, just act as if you don't know, there will always be a time when things will be understood. ”

Ji Nianjin doesn't plan to say the doubts and conjectures in her heart for the time being, she doesn't have evidence for the time being, she can't be sure of anything, so she can only take one step at a time.

Here, Ji Nianjin was comforting Bai Zhi in turn, and over there, the curtain in the middle was lifted, and a cool breeze poured in, blowing the bead curtain in the east room, jingling.

"Girl, Madame sent someone to spread the word, saying that she had something to tell the girl, and asked the girl to go over."

Bai Lan's voice came from the middle room, interrupting Ji Nianjin and Bai Zhi's conversation.

"Then let's go, don't make my mother wait for a long time."

As soon as she heard that Mei was looking for her, Ji Nianjin hurriedly asked Bai Zhi Bailan to prepare, one with a lantern, one with a careful support for Ji Nianjin, and the three of the master and servant went to Qingxin Garden.

When I arrived at Qingxin Garden, the maids and mothers-in-law who had been waiting for a long time greeted them one after another, and when Ji Nianjin entered the main room, I saw that my father was also there.

On the Luohan bed, Ji Yunlian and Mei were playing a game of chess, and they were about to reach the final stage of victory and defeat, and they didn't want Mei to drop the white jade chess pieces in their hands as soon as they saw Ji Nianjin coming, so they simply couldn't play.

"Alas, ma'am, I'm done with this game."

Ji Yunlian said with pity, because his sunspots had already killed all directions, so that the Mei family was too busy to take care of themselves, and there was no power to fight back.

"What's next, didn't you see Jin'er coming? As soon as you came back, you pulled me to accompany you to play plate after plate, I was tired. I'm hungry too, so it's time to have dinner with Jin'er. ”

Mei said coquettishly, reached out and pulled Ji Nianjin's hand, and saw that Ji Nianjin's hand was warm, so he nodded and took Ji Nianjin to sit down on the side of the chair.

Ji Nianjin hurriedly saluted Ji Yunlian, and made a grimace at Mei's again, making Mei's laugh.

"Okay, listen to Madame, then pass the food, don't starve my Jin'er."

Ji Yunlian smiled helplessly, seeing the cheerful appearance of his wife and daughter, he was also happy in his heart.

"Mother, but do you have something to tell Jin'er?"

While waiting, Ji Nianjin asked about Mei's.

"Well, it's not a big deal, it's just Ming'er, you go to your grandfather's mansion, first, to visit your grandmother, and two uncles and aunts, and second, to bring back something from your grandmother."

Ji Yunlian picked up the words, he put away the chess pieces one by one, and then cleaned his hands with the water brought by Xiangqi.

"Is it the thousand-year-old ginseng that is going to be used as a birthday gift for the lady of the Marquis Mansion in Qingbei? Jin'er knows about it, and she will definitely do it. ”

Ji Nianjin remembered that the Mei family sent Gu's mother back to Meifu a few days ago, and Gu's mother also said that her grandmother wanted her to go over to the mansion to have a look.

"Exactly, Jin'er, if outsiders ask about this, you just say, go back to see your grandmother on behalf of your mother, and don't say a word next to it, understand?"

Mei gently stroked Ji Nianjin's hand and said softly.

Ji Nianjin nodded and said:

"Remember, Mother, Jin'er knows how to do it. Then I'll go tomorrow after breakfast, and my grandmother must be missing me. ”

Ji Nianjin smiled, being able to go to Meifu was something she liked very much in her previous life.
