Because of entering the lunar month, at the end of the New Year's Festival, Ji Songxian asked the housekeeper to move the account books of the treasury and so on to her house, and she made time to look at the account books for a few days, and then pondered about giving some New Year's gifts.

It's just that Ji Songxian is very embarrassed about how to send this New Year's gift?

It stands to reason that Cheng Huaijin is an official of the court, and some colleagues should also give New Year's gifts to each other, and some friends in private cannot be neglected.

However, Ji Songxian has never heard of anyone he has a good relationship with, if you want to talk about colleagues, Cheng Huaijin is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and his official position is the largest in the Jinyi Guard, and there is no reason for him to give gifts to those officials below.

In this way, Ji Songxian sorted out the New Year's gift for the Ji family, and he didn't know how to give birth.

On this day, Cheng Huaijin went home, Ji Songxian asked about it, Cheng Huaijin took off his coat and handed it to the girl, and said: "You just have to send some New Year's gifts to your mother's house, and if you have a friend in the past day, you can send some if you want to, as for those officials, don't pay attention to them, Jinyiwei is different from other places, and it is not good to have close contacts with officials." ”

Ji Songxian thought about it, so he responded to say that he understood, and then said: "I've been thinking about some things these days, thinking if we can free up our hands to get a Zhuangzi to take in those homeless or abandoned girls by their parents, not to mention the brocade clothes and jade food, always give them a way to live, and teach them some means of making a living when they are older, whether it is cooking or knitting women, or reading and writing to settle accounts, or learning some medical skills, etc., in short, so that they can support themselves in the future." ”

"How do you think of that?" Cheng Huaijin was a little puzzled.

Ji Songxian smiled: "It's not that I just thought about it when I saw Sister Fu'er, but I still have some ability." If you can save one, it's one. ”

Speaking of this, Ji Songxian was afraid that Cheng Huaijin should not, so he whispered: "I can also write some books now, print out books and sell them for some money, if you think it's not good, I'll use that money to do it." ”

Cheng Huaijin laughed angrily when she heard her words, and took a few steps over to pick up Ji Songxian and put him on his lap: "That's what you think in your heart?" It's just that saving some girls is not a big deal, and besides, you are willing to do good deeds and accumulate blessings. Do I have to object? You're looking down on me too much. ”

"So you answered?" Ji Songxian immediately rejoiced. He asked several times in a row.

"Yes." Cheng Huaijin agreed: "If I shouldn't, do you really use your dowry to do this?" If it gets out, what will happen to me? ”

Ji Songxian almost cheered, and after being happy, he discussed with Cheng Huaijin: "I think the Liu family and the Bai family are both kind-hearted. Again. They are also talented and shrewd. But if I had done it with them, I would have given them some more money, that they might take it over. It's just that in the future, we have to shelter them more, and we can't let the people in the Chengguo Mansion know about the trouble. ”

"It's easy to do." Cheng Huaijin agreed without thinking about it: "They are good citizens now, but they are not concubines of the Chengguo Mansion, and besides, Jinyiwei is not a vegetarian, you can rest assured." ”

After settling this matter, Ji Songxian was completely relieved.

The next day, Ji Songxian led people to prepare the New Year's gift for the Ji family, full of a big car, with flowers she planted in the conservatory, all kinds of fresh food, as well as Cheng Huaijin's prey in the mountains, nitrate skins, some medicinal materials, and many cloth and satin and other things, and the gifts were very rich.

After sending the mother-in-law who went to Ji's house to give New Year's gifts, Ji Songxian prepared some New Year's gifts for the Cong family and the Gao family, and in addition, he asked someone to go to Liangjiazhuang to send some things to the Liu family and the Bai family.

When she was free, someone from the palace came to look for her, and she only said that the queen was invited.

Ji Songxian was rarely allowed to dress up and go to the palace to meet the queen.

She dressed up according to her grade and took the car into the palace, and went to Kunning Palace, before she got closer, the maid who had to be used by Queen She's side greeted her with a smile, and after giving Ji Songxian a salute, she opened the curtain and invited her into the house.

When Ji Songxian went in, he felt that although it was warm, it was not as warm as in his own house.

She took a few steps over to salute Queen She first, and before she could bow down, Queen She actually supported her personally: "They are all relatives of the family, and they are not allowed to salute in the future." ”

"Etiquette should not be abolished." Ji Songxian said with a smile.

Queen She glanced at her: "That being said, but Your Majesty personally instructed you not to salute when you see you, and you don't have to pay a big salute when you see Your Majesty, let alone me, do you want to give me any crimes?" ”

"How dare you." Ji Songxian sat down with a smile: "Sister-in-law said so, I will take it big." ”

When the tea was brought up, Queen She was talking to Ji Songxian while drinking tea, and after a few homely words, she talked about the purpose of summoning her into the palace.

"I'm looking for you today to ask you to intercede." Queen She didn't come coldly, but Ji Songxian was a little unsure.

"What else can't my sister-in-law do as a queen?" Ji Songxian made a look of embarrassment: "If you are embarrassed, won't I be even more helpless?" ”

"It's hard to be with others, but it's not hard for you at all." Queen She smiled, took a sip of the tea and put it down: "It's just, it depends on whether you can do it, and you can't help?" ”

This is a bit embarrassing, Ji Songxian chuckled in his heart, but he still had a smile on his face: "If I can do it, I will naturally contribute, how dare I not contribute to my sister-in-law's affairs, in the end, is our sister-in-law's love here." ”

These words sound affectionate, but the meaning is also very intriguing, this is to tell the queen that I have nothing more than a little affection with you, and I can't help if it is beyond the affection.

It's just that Queen She is from a family of military generals, and she has never been so twisted and turned, so naturally she can't hear the meaning of Ji Songxian's words, and thinks that Ji Songxian really has some good feelings with her, and her smile is becoming more and more enthusiastic: "I just got some good tea here, Su Richeng heard that you love these fresh teas, so I left some for you, and you can take some back when you leave." ”

"Then you're welcome." Ji Songxian should bear it, and his heart is becoming more and more bottomless.

Queen She saw that she also accepted the tea, so she said directly: "To tell you the truth, there is a brother in my mother's family who is a little unsuccessful, just beating my brother hurts me, our brother and sister friendship is good, he is an honest man, he has never come to anything vain, so until now the official position is not very big, two years ago he was sent to Datong Mansion as a chief soldier, and somehow, he was found out by Jinyiwei about eating soldiers' salaries, Jinyiwei did not say whether this was true, and directly took my brother to the edict prison......"

Speaking of this, Queen She wiped her tears with a heavy face, and continued: "I begged Your Majesty, Your Majesty also checked, although my brother also ate some military salaries, but the loss is not much, plus my brother also has some Taoism in the management of the army, Your Majesty will not bear my brother to go to the edict to suffer and suffer, specially called to Cheng Commander to intercede, only Cheng Commander made the iron face selfless, and His Majesty also refuted, I begged Your Majesty, but Your Majesty only said that this is within the duties of the commander, and everything he does is done according to the law, Even His Majesty cannot forcibly order Cheng to command and release people. ”

After finishing speaking, Queen She became more and more sad, and shed tears for a while: "I really can't do it, so I begged you, you and Cheng Commander are husband and wife, he respects you again, I can't say, if you say a few good words, my brother can come out, seeing that the New Year is coming, my brother can't celebrate the New Year in prison, besides, my mother's family still has an eighty-year-old grandmother, if I don't see my brother return during the New Year, I can't say it...... I can't tell what my grandmother wants. ”

Queen She was originally a cool person, but for the sake of her brother, she accompanied the little one and lowered her figure, so that Ji Songxian also sighed with deep brother-sister affection.

It's just this thing, but Ji Songxian can't agree.

She thought for a while: "I don't know if this can be done, wait for me to go back and ask, these are the things that the master is outside, if I am a woman who says deeply, it is inevitable that the husband will be disgusted with me, and I can only beat the side drum, if it doesn't work, my sister-in-law can not blame me." ”

"No blame, no blame." The queen hurriedly agreed: "As long as you help me, I can do it, where can I blame you, if so, what will I become." ”

Ji Songxian nodded: "That's it, I'll do my best." ”

After saying a few more words, Ji Songxian offered to say goodbye, and Queen She hurriedly asked someone to bring tea to Ji Songxian, and sent several pieces of new jewelry, but Ji Songxian was not polite to accept them all.

Only when she came out of Kunning Palace, she was stopped by the people around Empress Dowager Gao, who only said that Empress Dowager Gao was invited.

As soon as he heard that it was Empress Dowager Gao who wanted to see her, Ji Songxian felt a little nervous in his heart.

Empress Dowager Gao is not a good person, plus Ji Songxian and Princess Jinyang have never been on good terms, in addition, Empress Dowager Gao hates Ji Yi, no matter what you say, Empress Dowager Gao will not have anything good to call Ji Songxian.

I just don't know how to embarrass her this time.

Ji Songxian was apprehensive, and followed the aunt who came to call her to go directly to Renshou Palace, and before entering the door, she smelled a smell of medicine, and when she entered the house, Ji Songxian almost covered her nose.

At this time, it was winter, the Empress Dowager Gao was sick in bed again, where did the people who served dare to open the window, the window was closed for several months, and the Empress Dowager Gao was taking medicine, eating, changing and so on in the house, where did the taste be good?

It's that there is incense in the house, but the smell is also a little rushing, Ji Songxian reluctantly moved a few steps over, and carefully saluted the Empress Dowager Gao.

Empress Dowager Gao lay on her back on the bed, saw Ji Songxian coming, so she asked someone to help her up, and sat down with great effort, Empress Dowager Gao looked at Ji Songxian coldly but did not scream, Ji Songxian sighed helplessly, knowing that he was afraid of suffering today, so he maintained the posture of blessing, and after about a quarter of an hour, just when Ji Songxian's hands and feet were about to stiffen, Empress Dowager Gao coughed and raised her hand: "Get up, it's hard for you, I still come to see my lonely old woman on such a cold day." ”

Ji Songxian was silent, not knowing how to answer.

Empress Dowager Gao pulled her flesh and skin, wanting to laugh, but she didn't have much strength, and said after a while: "I heard that the two concubines of the Chengguo Mansion, the Liu family and the Bai family, have been to your house before, even if you have seen them, do you know where they have gone, what happened?"
