56. Incense should be burned
Of course, Ji Lan naturally hates the Wang family in her heart, marrying a daughter-in-law is not as good as marrying a daughter, Chen Qian will not be able to look at her face when she enters the door in the future? If something happens to the Wang family in the future, wouldn't it be easy to kill a daughter-in-law?
Ji Lan's abacus is clanging, and the good name is said: Lying on the salary and tasting the guts, it is not too late for the gentleman to take revenge for ten years.
But Shen Cui couldn't understand her mother's thoughts, although she wasn't sure if she was kidnapped by Wang Yueniang, she just didn't want Chen Qian to be her sister-in-law.
Ji Cheng immediately guessed Ji Lan's thoughts after the initial surprise, and she laughed sarcastically in her heart, her aunt can really bear any anger.
"What's wrong with this Chen family's sister Qian? Not to mention the outstanding appearance, the family background is also first-class. In the future, your brother will become a leader, and there will be a Yue family who can help. Ji Lan said to Shen Cui, but these words were also beating Ji Cheng, telling her not to think about it.
"But mother, I think that this time I had an accident with Sister Cheng, it was Wang Yueniang's ghost, how can you let my brother marry Chen Qian?" Shen Cui still didn't follow.
Ji Lan immediately said with a bitter face: "Ah Cui, my mother is also a last resort." Concubine Wang Shu wants the wind and the rain in the palace, even if we know that it is Wang Yueniang's hand, what can we do? What else could she do? How could your eldest uncle and second uncle offend the Wang family for the sake of just one you? ”
"I don't believe it!" Shen Cui couldn't listen to Ji Lan's words and turned his head and ran out, Ji Cheng hurriedly followed, "Auntie, I'll go see her." ”
In fact, the storm in Ji Cheng's heart was no less than that in Shen Cui's heart. She originally really thought that the Shen family was unwilling to stand up for Shen Cui and herself, after all, Shen Cui was Ji Lan's daughter, but today Ji Cheng heard Ji Lan's words, but suddenly came to her senses, I am afraid that Ji Lan should be the most unwilling to offend the Wang family.
Otherwise, how could Ji Lan suddenly remember to marry Chen Qian as her daughter-in-law? If you hate it so much, it is absolutely impossible to be as calm as Ji Lan.
Ji Cheng sometimes really doesn't understand Ji Lan's approach, what does she say later that the big house and the second room refuse to come forward, is this provoking Shen Cui to make trouble with her uncles? What good can this do for Shen Cui?
In fact, it was all Ji Lan's selfishness, she always felt that the third room was not as good as the other two rooms, and she was suspicious of her mother-in-law and concubine everywhere to exclude herself, and it was not enough for this resentment to be buried in her heart, and she had to let Shen Cui follow her to complain.
Ji Cheng sighed secretly, what is her aunt really telling people to say? But he still has to count on Ji Lan. After all, Ji Cheng can only be regarded as a guest residence in Beijing, and Ji Lan is the only serious elder. If someone really wants to tell her about kissing, they have to talk to Ji Lan first, so Ji Cheng's family affairs are basically in Ji Lan's hands.
But now Ji Cheng feels that when others see that she has an aunt like Ji Lan, they are afraid that they will not marry her to be their daughter-in-law.
When Ji Cheng found Shen Cui in the garden, Shen Cui was crying. Ji Cheng walked over and didn't speak, she and Shen Cui are now considered to have gone through hardships together, the friendship is a little better than before, Shen Cui's speech is not as stingy as before, at this time she saw Ji Cheng coming, and stopped crying: "Sister Cheng, uncle, what should we do if they really don't want to stand up for us?" Are we going to put up with it like this? Wang Yueniang is so hateful, if you don't escape with me the day before yesterday, we will all be ruined. ”
Ji Cheng looked at Shen Cui's appearance and also felt pitiful, "The old lady wants to love us, she won't care, I don't think the grandfather and uncle of the country don't care about the juniors, don't complain about them." It's too complicated, maybe they're deliberating on something else. ”
"Really?" Shen Cui looked up at Ji Cheng.
Ji Cheng nodded, "It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, you just have to wait." ”
Shen Cui nodded at this time, forced a smile and said, "Actually, if you don't say it, I also know the difficulties of adults, but I still feel uncomfortable in my heart." But I think about it, isn't Wang Yueniang jealous that I won her in the middle of the world? Even if she uses three indiscriminate methods, wouldn't it be good? I'm going to slap her in the face on the day of the Zhongtan performance, otherwise she will always think that she is a girl in the world. ”
"Hmm." Ji Cheng gently patted Shen Cui's hand.
"Sister Cheng, can you help my mother?" Shen Cui asked, after what happened the night before, Shen Cui seemed to be no longer hypocritical overnight.
Can Ji Cheng still say no to Shen Cui? Naturally, you can only respond to it.
It's just that this dog can't change its eating \, Ji Cheng gave Shen Cui an idea with a heart, she thinks this is not good, that one is too troublesome, pick and choose, no matter how good Ji Cheng's temper is, Shen Cui is sometimes angry and frowns.
As the saying goes, if there is a daughter, there must be a mother, when Shen Cui was making trouble for Ji Cheng, her mother was not idle.
Hao Ren wanted to see Ji Cheng's news that Liu Ye'er had passed on to her, and Ji Cheng wondered if it was the matter that asked him last time?
Sure enough, as soon as Hao Ren saw Ji Cheng, he said: "Third girl, fortunately, I don't disgrace my life, the thing you said last time is finally showing signs now." ”
Ji Cheng looked at Hao Ren's expression of rubbing his hands with joy and knew that it was not just a sprout.
Hao Ren didn't sell Guan Zi either, and told Ji Cheng all the joints before and after.
"To tell you the truth, third girl, if you don't ask me for help in this matter, I also have to help you out of this breath, your aunt is too much of a thing, she wants to send it to the old emperor's bed, isn't this a pear tree pressing begonias, tyrannical things." Hao Ren said with a look of grievances for Ji Cheng.
Ji Cheng was so excited by the "pear blossom" in Hao Ren's mouth that he almost choked on the tea, and sure enough, the dog couldn't spit out ivory from his mouth, and he was angry. However, Ji Cheng was helpless to take Hao Ren.
"You're not going to do that. As soon as people understand it, they know that it is impossible, how could the old emperor leave the palace in a small way, how could my aunt believe it. Ji Cheng said.
"Third girl, you don't know. Your aunt didn't have this plan today, she went to the palace early, and wanted to support you as a mother, but I never told you. At that time, I thought there was a drama, but you were right, this matter is ridiculous, how can ordinary people believe it, so I am also in line with the attitude of Jiang Taigong fishing for the bait, she loves to believe it or not, anyway, we don't take the initiative. Your aunt hasn't moved for more than a month, I guess it's going to be no show, and I'm thinking of another way, but I know that she took the initiative to come to the door, I see that she looks very anxious, as if she is desperate. Hao Ren said.
"When did she come to you?" Ji Cheng asked.
"On the eighth day of July, I remember it very clearly." The seventh day of the seventh month of July is the Qixi Festival, and Hao Ren and his concubines have spent a very evocative night, so they are particularly impressive.
Ji Cheng laughed "heh", her aunt herself was unwilling to tear her face with the Wang family to help Shen Cui take revenge, and in a blink of an eye, she wanted to send herself to the old emperor quickly, and then avenge her mother?
No wonder Ji Lan likes to talk about the sisters of the Wang family in front of her in the past few days, is this to provoke herself to jump into the old emperor's bed? The abacus is really clanging.
"Is it really Li Degao's godson who connected with her? This kind of thing can be figured out as soon as you ask. Ji Cheng said.
Li Degao is now the chief attendant of Emperor Jianping's side, and he is most trusted by Emperor Jianping, and other idlers can't afford it, even if they want to take Li Degao's door, there is no way to find it.
Hao Ren smiled "hehe", "Where can this be faked, your aunt is the third lady of the Shen family." Then He Changsheng is really Father-in-law Li's godson, but Father-in-law Li has several such godsons, so he can't take care of them so thoroughly. Although the man under him went to the roots, he was still worried about this daughter's fragrance, so he made a palace daughter in the palace as a pair of food, not only to buy flowers for the palace daughter, but also to support the old man and little brother of the palace daughter, so he was tight. No, it just hit it off with us. ”
"Is there anything I need to do?" Ji Cheng asked.
Hao Ren hurriedly said: "The third girl is a smart person, and she knows how the old emperor can go out of the palace to look for flowers and ask willows in Weifu, so we have to find someone to pretend to be him." But we haven't seen the old emperor's appearance, so although He Changsheng has seen it, he can't draw a picture, so I'll ask the third girl if there is any way. ”
The appearance of Emperor Jianping, of course, Ji Cheng can draw it.
"Where are you going to find someone who looks like the old emperor in such a short time?" Ji Cheng asked.
"The third girl doesn't have to worry about it, there are many people in this world, although they can't imitate a ten percent similarity, but seven or eight points are still not bad." Hao Ren seems to be very confident.
Ji Cheng nodded.
"There is another thing to ask the third girl, when your aunt wants to coax you out, you have to cooperate a little, and if you say okay, you will watch the third girl enter the room before giving the silver." Hao Ren said.
"I know." Ji Cheng said lightly, "How much silver should she promise?" ”
Hao Ren gave Ji Cheng a slap in the face.
"Fifty thousand taels?" Ji Cheng sneered: "What a big stroke." "This family only gives 10,000 taels if they marry more daughters. Ji Cheng was willing to spend his blood for himself.
Ji Cheng calculated, although the Ji family gave Ji Lan half of the family business at that time, but in the past few years, Ji Lan has spent a lot of money, and the last time he returned to the Qibao League, he spent five or six thousand taels of silver, and the Jinshan Silver Treasury couldn't stop such a spending.
Now that she is going to take away 50,000 taels in a short period of time, she must be afraid that all the silver that can be mobilized in her shop will be mobilized away, and when will she wait if she doesn't draw her salary at this time?
When he returned to the Shen Mansion to see Ji Lan, Ji Cheng's expression was not abnormal at all, and he was as respectful to Ji Lan as usual. Probably didn't expect much, so I wasn't disappointed. Ji Lan is calculating her for her father-in-law and children, and she is also calculating Ji Lan for her own future, there is nothing good or bad, but they are just for their own interests.
Ji Lan seemed to be really anxious, only a few days after Hao Ren informed Ji Cheng, Ji Cheng heard Ji Lan say to her: "I always feel a little uncomfortable during this time, Ah Cheng will go to the temple with me tomorrow to burn incense." ”
