Chapter 20 Inquiry
"Father-in-law Jing, don't worry, I will definitely discipline Mr. Ji more in the future," Jin Xi said unhurriedly, with sincere eyes and a friendly attitude, "Let him learn to look at people's faces, don't be so insignificant, don't know whether he is alive or dead."

As he spoke, he quickly glanced at Ji Xuan with his afterglow, suggesting that he would say a few words, but Ji Xuan turned a deaf ear and "pounced" on his new "wound", stroking and kneading while swishing, Jin Xi saw it in his eyes and smiled in his heart, knowing that as long as Ji Xuan didn't open his mouth, no one would force him, and he had to go.
"General Jin, where did we just go?" Murong Jin didn't have time to continue to consume, so he had to cut through the mess quickly - after finding out the situation, he left quickly.
"Speaking of Mr. Ji, he is about to move out of the palace and be his idle cloud and wild crane." Jin Xi's answer was concise and to the point.
"So who is that 'Shu'er' little girl that Mr. Fang Cai Ji mentioned?" Murong Jin went straight to the point.
"My sister-in-law," Jin Xi said quietly, "If I remember correctly, I already mentioned it last time when Gonggong Jing accompanied His Majesty to the Lotus Pond Pavilion. ”
"The slave remembers," Murong Jin was not afraid of Jin Xi's visiting, and looked straight at each other, "I'm just curious about why this little girl named Shu'er in General Jin's mouth has no surname, only a name similar to a milk name." ”
Hearing the word "milk name", Jin Xi's heart moved slightly.
"I don't know, she said this when she rescued her at that time," Jin Xi explained the reason in detail, while secretly observing Murong Jin, "Why, why is 'Father-in-law Jing' so concerned about Shu'er?" ”
Murong Jin pondered for a long time and said: "The slave maid has a friend who has recently suffered a sudden change in his family, and his sister has been separated, and the nickname of the friend's sister is the same as that of General Jin's sister, so I have this question. ”
"Dare to ask what is the name of that friend of 'Jing Gonggong', and where is it now?" Jin Xi said without thinking, "When I arrive, I can ask Mr. Ji to ask Shu'er on my behalf, and I will know if I have a pair." ”
"This ......" Murong Jin frowned slightly, showing hesitation.
Now everything is not clear, the prince of the Great Jin Dynasty and his entourage in front of him don't know whether they are friends or enemies, and I don't know if they have been "recruited" by Fu Xuan, it is nothing to show their true identity, because they are in the palace of Qiguo, and the Moon Palace and the Lotus Pond Pavilion are not far away, and it is a matter of time before the identity is revealed.
What I'm afraid of is that I don't know how much Jin Xi knows about his sister-in-law, whether he knows her true origin, I don't know the best, I will find an opportunity to follow out of the palace to find out, and I don't need to go through others......
"General Jin, take the liberty of asking," Murong Jin lifted his eyes narrowed in contemplation, and replied to the question, "Is your sister-in-law, Miss Shu'er, important to you?" ”
"Of course, very important!" Jin Xi didn't seem to notice Murong Jin's moment of hesitation, and said seriously.
Very important? Why is it important? Because love is deep or righteous? Or is it purely profitable-Murong Jin thought to himself.
"I can see it," Murong Jin nodded in agreement, "The slave maid has sensed the meaning of this Shu'er girl from General Jin's attitude twice, so," she paused, as if she wanted to say anything more to consider the appropriate words, "can the slave maid have a request to the general." ”
"'Respect to my father-in-law', please say it clearly."
"Because the matter involves friends, the slave maid can't take the liberty to tell her specific information," Murong Jin said, "So I want to wait for the day when Mr. Ji's house is completed to visit your sister-in-law, can you?" She thought for a moment and added, "Of course, the slave is willing to go with General Jin." ”
"As long as Your Majesty nods in agreement, I will never say anything." Jin Xi said.
"It's a deal!"
Jin Xi nodded solemnly.
The purpose of today's trip has been achieved, and it is time for Murong Jin to leave: "After disturbing General Jin for a long time, the slave and maid retired. ”
"Honoring my father-in-law." Jin Xi politely got up to send him off.
But when he walked to the door, the "little eunuch" turned around and said, "General Jin, can you please ask the two gentlemen in the attic for a favor." ”
Jin Xi cast an inquiring look.
"The slave maid and Chun'er wanted to pick lotus pods but were blocked by Mr. Ji halfway," Murong Jin glanced at Ji Xuan, a mischievous smile in his eyes, "I chatted with the general for a while, and after a delay, can you ask these two gentlemen of yours to help pick lotus pods, so that you can go back in time to recover your life." ”
Sure enough, picking lotus pods is just a disguise! Jin Xi's black eyes flickered brightly and darkly, and the smile on his lips seemed to be absent, and he looked at Li Xue and Ji Xuan: one was looking up at the ceiling in a daze; One buried his head and picked his nails, pretending to be deaf and dumb.
Jin Xi smiled, turned around and said, "If Gonggong Jing doesn't mind, I'm willing to accompany him, okay?" ”
"The general came to work as a coolie for the slave maid, how can he afford it." Murong Jin said politely, but he didn't care about it in his heart.
Jin Xi didn't say much, only stepped forward and turned sideways and said, "Respect my father-in-law, please." ”
Murong Jin and Hongxing walked down the attic, Jin Xi followed behind, Li Xue saw that Jin Xi was really going to be a "hard laborer" for the two "palace people" in front of her, so she chased forward to block the road:
"Your Highness, you are a daughter, how can you be called by others? Cannot. ”
"There is no 'Your Highness' here, only the captives of Qiguo," Jin Xi said lightly and followed.
"Your Highness, Your Highness," Li Xue said hurriedly, "If you don't let your subordinates help Grandpa Jing, you can just watch from the sidelines." ”
Jin Xi paused suddenly, turned his head and looked at Li Xue coldly, as if to say: Why did you go before? Li Xue looked at it and didn't dare to say anything anymore, and then was pulled aside by Ji Xuan, and Jin Xi raised his feet to catch up......
"What are you pulling me for?" At the railing in the attic, Li Xue angrily shook off Ji Xuan's hand and said angrily, "You can watch His Highness call people like slaves, I can't." ”
"Then you go, go and let your Highness stop!" Ji Xuan couldn't help but say, pointed to the three people who were already standing in the boat under the attic with one hand, and said provocatively, "Don't stand in front of me with a disgraced face when you arrive." ”
Li Xue was speechless angrily, but she had to admit that what Ji Xuan said was reasonable, she knew that it was false for the "respectful father-in-law" to ask for help, and it was true to find fault and be angry, so she thought that as long as she and Ji Xuan pretended to be deaf and dumb, she could make the "respectful father-in-law" retreat in difficulty, but unexpectedly, His Royal Highness actually sent it to the door to let people "repair", and did not let people follow, it was really ......
Ji Xuan didn't have the rigidity of Li Xue, his stomach was full of nagging, he waved his sleeves in a chic manner, shook the folding fan in the other hand, and looked at the lotus pond leisurely - the three people in the lotus pond seemed to be picking lotus flowers, and seemed to be talking, talking and laughing, as if they had already forgotten the hostility of competing and testing each other in the attic.
"I really don't know how many heads this 'respectful father-in-law' has," Li Xue and Ji Xuan looked in the same direction, their faces full of resentment, "Aren't you afraid that this scene will make people look at it, and the head will move?" ”
"Say you're stupid, you're really stupid," Ji Xuan shook his head sympathetically and sighed, "This 'respectful father-in-law' just wants people to see it, so even if His Majesty or someone asks, do you still need to be worried?" ”
Li Xue turned her head to look at Ji Xuan in surprise, and the other party also turned her head to face him, without waiting for Li Xue to express the doubts in her heart, Ji Xuan seemed to see through what he was thinking:
"Do you really think that the one standing next to His Highness is a 'father-in-law'?"
Li Xue's eyes widened in surprise.
