The palace of Ji'an is ridiculously large, and Jian Ying, under the guidance of the maid and mother-in-law, walked for nearly half an hour, and only saw a small part.

The best view is in the West Garden, which has a pearl spring and a lake in the water. An artificial river called "Jade Belt" runs through the mansion, connects with the Tiyun Creek outside, rockeries are scattered, pavilions and pavilions, bubbling springs can be seen everywhere, not like a mansion, but like a park.

Ganlu saw that Jian Ying was tired of walking, so she asked, "Second Young Lady, do you want someone to carry a chariot?" ”

Jian Ying shook her head, "No need, let's go back." ”

Anyway, this scene won't run on her own long legs, she has most of her life, and she can watch it slowly.

Ganlu answered "yes" and ordered to go back, and everyone surrounded Jian Ying and took a shortcut back to the Blue Courtyard.

Zhou Shu hasn't come back yet, and Jian Ying doesn't ask. Helping her change into her usual clothes, she removed the hairpin ring on her head and put her hair back in a loose bun.

Xueqin made the tea early, and when she cleaned up, she immediately brought it up, "Miss Six, this is your favorite Baihao." ”

Jian Ying doesn't know much about tea, she doesn't like to drink tea, and she doesn't want to force herself to love Xiao Liu'er's hobbies, "I don't want to drink tea today, let's change it to something else." ”

Xueqin's hand serving tea stiffened, and she looked at Jian Ying in disbelief.

Miss Six has a soft spot for white tea, and she especially likes Baihao silver needles, and she has to drink two lamps almost every day. Miss Six's preferences, the people in the Ji'an Royal Mansion must have also inquired about them. Wouldn't it be suspicious to suddenly change the habit of drinking tea?

Stunned, he listened to Ganlu and said understandingly: "Our palace has an orchard in the south, and we will send seasonal fruits all year round. Last autumn, there was a bumper harvest of mandarins, and dozens of truckloads were transported.

After leaving enough for himself to eat and give away, there was still a lot left, so he made mandarin tea according to the recipe handed down from the palace. This tea is sweet and sour, and it is the most nourishing and nourishing to drink in the morning and evening.

The second young lady wants to drink a glass? ”

Jian Ying nodded, "Okay, then let's drink a lamp." ”

Manna answered "yes" and went to make tea herself.

Xueqin secretly hated that she was slow to react, and she was robbed of the limelight by nectar.

Glancing at Jian Ying, she said that mandarin tea is rare, but that is for other families. The Jane family has a big business, what kind of rarity is not? There are some things that Jane's family has, but they may not have in the palace.

Even if this fake Sixth Miss was born in the outer room, she is also a species of the Jian family, how can her eyelids be like this? Whatever people say is good. With such a master, she is afraid that it will be difficult for her to get ahead.

Jian Ying ignored her, waited for Ganlu to bring tea, and sent everyone else down, leaving only Xiao Ji, the youngest among the wedding girls.

The four girls from the capital, except for Xueqin, the other three were all Xiao Liu'er After running away, Mrs. Jian is now picked out from Zhuangzi and sent to make up the number halfway. Like Mrs. Jian Si who dialed the four girls, she had never seen Xiao Liu'er before.

After reading a lot of literary works, Jian Ying knew that if she wanted to live a stable life in the backyard of the deep house, she must have a loyal minister who was willing to be born and die for her, so she has been observing these eight girls these days, considering which one to cultivate as a henchman.

Xueqin was of course the first to be brushed off.

As long as she is willing to work hard, it is not difficult to buy Xueqin, but those who can betray once may betray twice, and if the purchase is successful, they will also make a mistake in their hearts. She didn't want to spend that effort, and she didn't want to be suspicious and uncomfortable.

Jin Ping and Yin Ping were originally the big girls next to Mrs. Jian Si, although they didn't know the inside story, they couldn't rule out the possibility of being told by Mrs. Jian Si to report to the Jian family anytime and anywhere, it remains to be seen.

Caiping and Suping used to be second-class girls, but when they were newly promoted, they came to the palace with her, and they couldn't help but be in a hurry when they started doing things, and they didn't know what to do, so let them take care of themselves first.

The cloud zither is decent, and what you do is not obvious; Qiu Sheng looks very clever, but he is actually a person who has no idea, someone leads the things that can be done well, and he will be blind if he does it alone.

Xiao Ji is the opposite of Qiu Sheng, a little dull, taciturn, and has a very low sense of survival. is also an extremely quick hand and foot, and often finishes something when others are not paying attention.

Among the eight girls, she likes this child the most.

As for whether or not to cultivate, you have to test it first.

"Xiaoji, do you know who I am?" She asked.

"You're Miss Six." Xiao Ji replied, thought about it, and added, "It's the master of the slave." ”

Jian Ying was very satisfied with her answer, "Then you should know that we share the same fate." If I live well, you can live well; If I am in trouble, none of you will be able to escape. ”

Xiao Ji's eyes flashed slightly, and he replied, "The slave understands." ”

After two conversations, Jian Ying saw that she was a person who knew everything in her heart, so she didn't talk nonsense, "I'm going to give you a task now, if you want to, just do it, if you don't want to, forget it, I won't force you to ......"

"The slave is willing." Without waiting for Jian Ying to finish speaking, Xiao Ji agreed to it.

Jian Ying couldn't help laughing, "I haven't said what to ask you to do, you're willing?" What if I ask you to kill someone and set a fire? ”

"Miss Six will not let the slaves and maids kill people and set fires." Xiao Ji's tone was firm and authentic.

Jian Ying tugged at the corners of her mouth disapprerovingly, "Don't think of me as too kind, I'm not a good person." ”

Xiao Ji chose to remain silent this time.

Jian Ying didn't continue to discuss the meaning of her character with her, and continued the previous topic, "I just arrived at the palace, my eyes were black, and what I lacked the most was news.

I'll give you ten days, and you can go and find out the details of every person with a head and face in the Ji'an Palace. I don't care what method you use, and I won't be responsible for cleaning up the mess for you, I just look at the results.

Ten days later, I asked a random question, and if you can't answer it, I won't use you again.

Also, this matter can only be known to you, you know what I mean, right? ”

"The slave understands." Xiao Ji raised his head and looked into her eyes, "Miss Six, it doesn't take ten days, seven days is enough." ”

Listening to her confident words, Jian Ying became more and more satisfied with her, "Okay, I'll give you seven days." ”

Xiao Ji hesitated slightly, "Sixth Miss, can the slave take some candy from your house?" ”

"Yes." Jian Ying said briskly, "This kind of innocuous thing, you don't need to ask me in the future, you can take as much as you want." When others asked, they said that I was approved, and I can still help you carry this little idea. ”

"Yes, thank you, Miss Six." Xiao Ji thanked him and quickly exited the door.

Xue Qin saw Xiao Ji coming out with a candy box, and immediately pulled her aside, "What did Miss Six tell you?" ”

"Miss Six is sympathetic to my young age and rewards me with candy." Xiao Ji replied calmly.

Xue Qin stared at her suspiciously, "Just like that? ”

Xiao Ji nodded, "That's it." ”
