After the school in Jifu ended, several young ladies did not stop, said goodbye to Mr. Rong, and went straight back to the back house. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Ji Qianxia took Yi Ying and walked next to Ji Anlei, and the two whispered and laughed from time to time, provoking Ji Junman and Ji Yingfu's eyes were unknown and their expressions were complicated.
"Going out shopping in the afternoon?" Ji Qianxia was pleasantly surprised: "Eldest sister, is it okay?" ā
"Why not?" Ji Anlei smiled: "I also made an appointment to wait for Sister Wu to fly a kite." ā
"What's the matter, the eldest sister will fly the kite in a few days?"
Ji Anlei smiled: "It was decided a few days earlier, the Hou Mansion has a house in Xicheng, the place is very large, and kite flying is the most suitable." ā
"Oh? The west of the city, not the suburbs? ā
"Hmm." Ji Anlei looked at her in surprise: "Could it be that the fourth sister has other arrangements and can't get out?" ā
Ji Qianxia laughed embarrassedly: "Yes." Sister Lu asked me to go to the outskirts of the city. ā
"Oh~" When Ji Anlei heard that it was Lu Wenyin, her tone dragged on a little longer, and it was meaningful: "She is a naughty person, so you can accompany her." ā
"Okay." Ji Qianxia casually agreed.
A group of people waited to see Mrs. Di in Cun'an Pavilion, and sat with them to talk about some homely gossip. Ji Anlei proposed to Mrs. about going out in the afternoon, and Mrs. approved.
Ji Junman and Ji Yingfu also smiled and wanted to follow, Ji Anlei said lightly: "I made an appointment with the two young ladies of the Gao family, and I will take you there another day." ā
Hearing that it was the young lady of the Gao family who invited her, Mrs. Di's eyes flashed with worry, and she lowered her head by drinking tea, and then smiled: "The young lady of the Attached Horse Mansion is the most assertive. Three girls, six girls still don't want to make fun. The sister-in-law of the Fuling Temple sent two volumes of the Sutra of Illness and Disaster, and you are idle to copy it down. ā
Ji Junman and Ji Yingfu were indignant in their hearts, but their faces were well-behaved and sweet: "Yes, mother." ā
Mrs. Di pretended not to hear their complaints, and called an old adult mother next to her to assign: "Gaofu invites, I'm afraid that you will make a mistake in etiquette, so Mother Luo will accompany you." ā
"Yes, ma'am."
Ji Anlei is puzzled, the relationship between the Gao Mansion and the Ji Mansion is quite good. The juniors have close contacts with each other and have always been free, so why do you just assign an old mother to watch it today?
She asked Mrs. Di with a wink. The latter looked away and ordered: "It's a quarter of noon, and you don't want to set up a meal?" ā
There is an undercurrent surging in the house, and Ji Qianxia is completely out of condition.
After lunch, Mrs. Di had to rest for half an hour, and the girls withdrew and returned to the courtyard.
Not long after Ji Qianxia returned to Xiangxia Pavilion, a sturdy girl named Hu Niu next to the Bai family came over with a message, saying that she had been staring at the servant woman and Duoshou. Tashou has always stayed by the old lady's side, and he can't leave Park Fangtang. The servant woman rented a half-old courtyard in the west of the city, and there was no other movement for the time being.
"Got it."
Who knew that after Hu Niu brought this, she didn't leave immediately, and quietly revealed: "Aunt Bai said that she would accompany the eldest girl to go out to see Miss Gao in the afternoon, and listen more and read less." ā
Ji Qianxia was startled, pulled the tiger girl and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" Miss Gao is the daughter of a colt and a former princess, is she very delicate and unreasonable? ā
Hu Niu's body is very strong, but her complexion is not honest, her small eyes flashed with shrewdness, and she lowered her voice and said: "A few days ago, the Gao family came out of the wind and wanted to marry our house. ā
"Huh?" Ji Qianxia blurted out: "Big brother? ā
Hu Niu said in a very thin voice: "Grandpa Guo is very satisfied, but the old lady and Mrs. are not optimistic. I haven't replied yet. ā
"So ......" Ji Qianxia keenly said: "This time Miss Gaofu invited the eldest sister to go out, what other meaning?" ā
Hu Niu didn't give her a positive answer, but said generally: "In short, it's better for the four girls to pay attention." ā
"Understood."
Ji Qianxia really understood the reason why Mrs. Di assigned the old mother beside her to accompany her. It is likely that he is afraid that Ji Anlei will behave inappropriately, be caught in the wrong place, or let people fool her, and promise something that should not be done.
It's complicated! This heart's heart!
Ji Qianxia lay crookedly on the couch and thought crankily while taking a lunch break.
Isn't Gaofu a horse house? Although she is the princess of the first emperor, she is the aunt and elder of the current emperor in terms of seniority. What's the matter, it's rich and glorious, and the scenery is infinite, right? Why does Miss Pony want to marry whom, is it so difficult?
In this dynasty, doesn't the emperor give marriage from time to time?
Thinking of getting married, Ji Qianxia turned to Ji An.
This young grandfather of the Guogong Mansion is proper, tall, rich, handsome, and talented. Only eighteen years old has passed the township examination, now for the national prison student, next year will be the test is imminent, with his level, no accident, the test is to catch. In the capital, he has become a popular and sought-after best son-in-law of the powerful.
The most rare thing is that there is no concubine who has a concubine who is clean and self-conscious. Therefore, not to mention being targeted by the Horse Mansion, if it weren't for the fact that the emperor's daughters are still young, it is estimated that they would be qualified to be a concubine.
Ji Qianxia couldn't help but sigh quietly: "Isn't this the standard for the male protagonist of the novel?" Fortunately, the idle and incompetent Grandpa Guo did not hold back, and Ji Anzhen still became a sought-after potato. ā
At the same time, in a quiet remote courtyard full of jasmine flowers in the backyard, Ji Anjie looked at Chen at the opposite table, and there were fine lines at the corners of his eyes at a young age.
"Auntie, what should I do at the second uncle's house?"
Chen smiled softly: "Don't be bored." I grew up in this house when I was a child, and it's hard to say anything else, but I know a lot more people than you. ā
"But the second uncle's mansion is ......"
Chen reached over and patted his hand on the couch table, and smiled softly: "Mother-in-law Zhang, the housekeeper next to the second lady, a long time ago, I recognized me as a godmother. ā
Ji Anjie's face was stunned, his eyes lit up, and then dimmed.
He is just a girl son who can't be on the stage, and even his biological mother's godmother is also a subordinate in the house.
"The old lady has been sick for the past two days, so I will let Caiyu go over and invite Granny Zhang to come and sit. What you have to do, hand it over to her, and keep it assured. ā
Ji Anjie buried his head and whispered: "In case she asks too much, how can my aunt reply to her?" ā
Chen Shi was slightly stunned, pursed the corners of his mouth, and hesitated for a moment to say, "This is a difficult problem. Suddenly collect the list of girls in the second master's mansion, and anyone has to be suspicious. How do you make up this excuse? ā
"Can Mrs. Zhang still be trusted?" Ji An's precept is asked for the sake of insurance.
Chen nodded: "I have always had a relationship with her in private. The three festivals and four rituals have not been broken. I can trust her as a person. ā
Ji Anjie didn't have a better countermeasure, so he was angry: "Then don't say anything, just ask her for the list directly." Why don't you stuff some more silver and gag her? ā
"This ......" Chan does not agree with this crude approach.
Mrs. Zhang is the right-hand man of the Xie family, and she can't afford to offend easily. She is just a concubine who is not favored, or is she from the eldest master's side, how can she have the confidence to be so unkind to her?
"Auntie, do you have any good ideas?"
