Chapter 37: The Academy
"Oh. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info "This means that the people around the old lady can't put eyeliner, and there are always a few people who do rough work outside who take advantage of the benefits to run errands for the Bai family.
"At dinner today, Tashou met with the rough mother-in-law who helped the cook. Because I didn't dare to get too close, I only vaguely heard a few words: west of the city, abandoned garden, millions of silver or something. I don't feel good when I hear it. Tell the people who are watching closely not to talk a lot, and come over to talk to you. This thing is boring. ”
Ji Qianxia muttered and repeated: "West of the city, abandoned garden, millions of silver? Could it be that she quietly moved the old lady's private room? ”
Bai was stunned.
"That's not right! Removing a million taels is too eye-catching. If the ants move like moving, it should be safer to deposit it in the cash cabinet silver bank. Abandoned gardens are not advisable. ”
Bai Shi breathed a sigh of relief: "That's right. ”
"But when it comes to silver, it's not trivial." Ji Qianxia also happened to be very short of money.
Bai Shi was very pleased: "Xiaoman, your analysis is correct. ”
"Auntie, I don't think you should startle the snake for the time being. Duoshou has been by the old lady's side for a long time, her mouth is tight, and she can't dig out useful clues, so it's better to start with that rough mother-in-law. ”
"Yes, that's exactly what I did."
"Don't force a confession first, quietly follow that mother-in-law."
Bai nodded, this still needs to be said.
The two met again and whispered to discuss the details, and heard the sound of bangs outside, and the courtyard door was about to close.
Bai said goodbye and went back, Ji Qianxia sent out the Xiangxia Pavilion, stood at the door and watched Bai's lantern gradually disappear into the darkness, and stood alone for a while, looking at the bright moon and stars in the sky, and the wind blowing in early summer turned back under the urging of the banana.
The courtyard door was locked, but the lights of Xiangxia Pavilion were not extinguished.
Yi Ying wanted to help copy the Lotus Sutra, and the banana took his subordinates to do needlework, and only Ji Qianxia wrote a diary to practice calligraphy when he was idle.
Today's diary is lackluster, nothing more than the suspicious behavior of Tatsuki.
Ji Qianxia carefully analyzed and wrote down: Duoshou is fifteen or sixteen years old this year, and at this age, if you don't say you are married, at least you are engaged. If the girl in the house is so big, she will basically be allowed to be allowed to others. If it is a slave for generations, the wife will be the master of the marriage, and if it is bought from outside, it will be distributed and married by itself. But the most favored girl, the age can be relaxed.
Mrs. Ji spoils her longevity, and she has no father or mother, so her age may be relaxed to eighteen years old. It's just that the old lady is ill, and it is likely that she will go by accident, so at that time, where should Duoshou go?
Ji Qianxia couldn't help but think of the scene when he was in Pu Fangtang, Ji Anlei made his eyes and asked Duoshou to help speak. Now that I think about it, the reason why Tashou helped to speak is also likely to want to deal with his wife and have multiple ways to retreat.
However, Duoshou is beautiful and young, if the old lady dies, what will she do next?
Stay in the house with an unmarried housekeeper? I'm afraid she may not be happy. has been pampered by the old lady for so many years, and she is no different from Miss Fuli, she is also high in her bones, right?
As a concubine? Baoguo Gong already has so many concubines, and they all have their own victories and means. She has seen through it for so many years, is she still willing to get involved? This piece of mud, is she willing to surrender herself for the sake of glory and wealth?
If all of the above is negative, then, it is likely that Tashou is looking for another way?
When Ji Qianxia wrote this, she bit her pen and thought: What is she trying to do?
The wind rose outside the window, and the shadowy shadows of the trees were dancing with their teeth and claws.
Ji Qianxia glanced at the quiet people in the room, silently put away the diary, turned to the inner room and deliberately opened the bed cabinet, but actually stuffed the real diary under the mattress. After early summer, the weather is going to get hot, and the mattress is just afraid to change to a cool one. Ji Qianxia looked at the bed tent.
She checked it, and the fake booklet was still there, not touched at all, but the taste was faint.
"It's so calm!"
She rolled over the bed, looked at the top of the tent and whispered, "Then compare who has patience." ”
There was nothing to say that night.
On the day, the weather was gloomy.
Mrs. Ji's condition was completely stabilized. Baoguo was almost tired and fell apart, so he deliberately took a leave from the military department and recuperated at home for a few days. said that it was recuperation, but in fact, it was to eat, drink, and have fun, go to the theater, or stay in the house of the Hua family and the Jiang family.
Mrs. Di didn't care about him, only took over the housework of the back house and took care of it seriously.
Ji Qianxia went to the private school in the second master's mansion for the first time and met Mr. Rong.
He is a smiling old man, neatly dressed, and he is not angry with people. Although he often holds a ring ruler in his hand, he has never hit anyone.
Mr. Yung is a good scholar and a miscellaneous teacher. In addition to the piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, calligraphy and writing, etc., are all his duties.
The three sons and daughters of the Ji family are getting older, and they are not outside of private classes, and the other concubines and concubines are all together.
Ji Qianxia paid special attention to Ji Junman's younger brother Ji Anxu.
is a very handsome little boy, a little younger than her, behaves well, is not frivolous, reads seriously, and never disobeys Mr. Even Ji Junman talked to him, and he was not particularly happy.
"These two sisters and brothers, I really can't see it." Ji Qianxia muttered.
"Fourth sister, don't you see anything?" Ji Yincao didn't know why, she always kept an eye on her.
Ji Qianxia glanced at her, pointed to the book and said, "I have read this passage several times, but I don't see the meaning. ”
"Hey, Fourth Sister, haven't you read this?" Ji Yincao was surprised and delighted.
Ji Qianxia knew that she was going to make a big fuss, so she decisively changed the topic, pointed to Ji An, who was the quietest in the corner, and said: "Fifth brother is so quiet, in the past half a day, except for listening to the textbook, I haven't seen him talk to anyone." ”
Ji Yincao glanced at the corner, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and said softly: "Follow Aunt Chen's temperament." You can't hit a fart with eight strokes. ”
"Huh? Seventh sister, you speak so vulgarly. "Ji Qianxia is disgusted.
Ji Yincao grinned and said, "I just occasionally listen to people's discussions, and I use them casually." Fourth sister, don't you think it's appropriate? ”
"I don't think so." Ji Qianxia would not fall into her trap, and said: "Seventh sister, the vulgar words of the subordinates, you just overhear it, how can you use it, and use it on your own brother." Don't let Mrs. know, even if Aunt Jian hears it, it's strange that you can't receive a punishment. ”
Ji Yincao glared at her unconvinced and irrefutably: "I didn't mean to. Fourth sister, you don't scare me. ”
"You're really young, so you don't have to worry about it." Ji Qianxia reached out and pinched her fleshy face, gritted her teeth and smiled: "I'm just reminding me, how can it be to scare you." Well, you don't know the hearts of good people, so I didn't say it. ”
"It hurts." Ji Yincao shook off her hand, rubbed her fleshy face, and squinted her eyes: "Then thank the fourth sister for being kind." ”
Ji Qianxia smiled evilly and spread his hands: "Don't just say thank you." Something sincere. Give me your beeswax paper. ”
"You ......" This is a robbery while the fire is burning! It's a robbery!
Ji Yincao's face turned green.
