Chapter 58: Handkerchief Delivery
Ji Ji returned to the manor.
In order to solve Zhang Hezhi's trouble, she spent three hundred gold this time, but in the end, Ji Ji was still very happy to get such a result. And the four national players she invited were also very happy.
The three men were just that, and their worst estimate was to attract Zhang Hezhi's jealousy. is mainly the poor beauty who danced the Feiyan dance, if she wasn't really short of money, she would never be invited by Ji Ji. Now that Shun Shun lĂŹ Li has come out, he has not become a forbidden person because of this performance, and this descendant of Zhao Feiyan is very happy.
Ji Ji this time, she has been running around for three months, and she really wants to take a good rest. Therefore, for the next few days, she stayed at home.
On this day, Ji Ji and Ji Dao, two sisters and brothers, were sitting under a big camphor tree in the yard reading, and the summer east wind was blowing slowly, making people sleepy.
Ji Ji held her sleepy eyes, and said her response to Zhang He's matter without a word. In the past three months, Zhang Hezhi has sent dozens of invitations to invite Ji Ji, Ji Dao knows about it, and he has always been full of heart.
After Ji Ji finished speaking, he said to Ji Dao again: "Ah Dao, my sister's method can only deal with the same proud scholars, since Zhang Hezhi is proud of his talent, my sister can use her talent to convince him." If you change to another, such as those who have no bottom line, what my sister does will only cause a backlash, but it will be more difficult to get out. â
Speaking of this, Ji Ji said again: "This is similar to a gentleman who can deceive him. â
Ji Dao pondered for a while and asked seriously, "What about the villain?" What if my sister meets those dirty villains? â
Ji Ji chuckled. She whispered: "I really met a powerful villain, and many times the strategy is useless, because our strength is too weak, and they can directly run over." Well, at this time, there must be a force that is enough to fight them as a backer. Speaking of this, Ji Ji was proud, "Just like your sister and I, I have now found a big backer like Xie Shibai to rely on." â
In Ji Dao's listening, Ji Ji said again: "Deal with the villain." You have to use the tricks of villains. He is poisonous and ruthless, and you have to be more poisonous and ruthless. But then again, Ah Dao, you know Xie An, who has made a comeback, why for so many years. Are they all admired by literati? â
Ji Dao has read a lot of Xie An's deeds recently. Just when you're interested. He hurriedly asked, "Why?" â
Ji Ji smiled and said, "Because in this world, there are countless people who mix in the officialdom. In the end, they will become politicians with dark hearts and dirty means. Only Xie An, he can not only deal with things between people in a harmonious manner, but also make many famous deeds that have been passed down through the ages. However, with only these two points, Xie An was no different from those previous famous ministers. The reason why Xie An is different from those people and why he is respected is because no matter how much blood he has on his hands, he has always maintained the nobility of his soul and the freedom of his heart. â
Seeing Ji Dao thoughtfully, Ji Ji stopped talking. In her memory, when this young brother later became the king and hegemon, his heart also changed, he became ruthless and domineering, those who obey me live, and those who oppose me die, to be honest, Ji Dao at that time was terrifying.
While the two sisters and brothers were talking here, Yuehong and Qin Xiaocao came over laughing. Qin Xiaocao put a plate of paste in front of Ji Ji and said, "Sister-in-law, you have been running around outside for three months and have tanned a lot, you finally returned home, and you have to find a way to come back in vain." â
Ji Ji originally thought she was dark, so she happily responded at the moment: "Okay." â
Just when the master and servant were talking and laughing, and from time to time they were smearing various things that were said to be beautifying their faces, outside, Zheng Wu's footsteps came, and he walked behind Ji Ji and said excitedly: "Sister-in-law, there are a few sisters-in-law outside, they say that they are friends of sister-in-law, and they want to ask you to go out to play together." â
"My friend?" Ji Ji asked in surprise.
"Yes." Zheng Wute said honorably: "I asked, those sisters-in-law are all from the Dashi clan, one of them is from the Yingchuan Yu family, she said that her name is Yu Shi'er, and she also said that her sister-in-law helped her and came over today." â
Yu Shi'er?
Ji Ji hurriedly asked the two maids to wash the things on their faces, and after she changed into a deep coat, she hurriedly went out of the house.
Sure enough, at the door of her house, several gorgeous donkey carts of the scholar clan were parked there, how could a poor place like Ji Ji have ever been to such a scholar clan? All of a sudden, several heads poked out from the left and right, looking at them yearning and admiring.
Seeing Ji Ji coming, Yu Shi'er hurriedly lifted the curtain and shouted, "Aunt Ji, come here." â
Ji Ji glanced at Yu Shi'er, and saw that her big eyes were full of joy and gratitude, so she nodded to Zheng Wu and the others, and then she came to Yu Shi'er's donkey cart.
At this moment, there are three sisters-in-law in Yu Shi'er's donkey cart, and these three sisters-in-law were all met with Yu Shi'er when Ji Ji first came to Jiankang. It's just that at that time, they sneered at Ji Ji, but at the moment, everyone laughed.
Yu Shi'er looked at Ji Ji proudly and said delicately: "How is it?" Isn't it a surprise? Hee-hee, you're still hiding quite deeply, if someone hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known that the person who saved me was you. By the way, do you know that the queen mother in the palace has been thinking about it since she saw the screen you embroidered for me, and the queen mother has a good impression of you. â
As soon as Yu Shi'er finished speaking, Ji Ji immediately said: "No, it's not me who repairs the screen, but someone else." She looked directly at a few sisters-in-law, and said seriously: "This time the embroidery is an ancestral skill, last time it was just that the person owed me a favor, in order to repay the affection, I was willing to do an embroidery for me, and I, but also greedy for your benefits, only to take this job." "This must be made clear, for Ji Ji, the embroidery screen is for profit, this kind of thing can be done occasionally, but if the opportunity that belongs to the original owner is taken away, it can't be done.
Yu Shi'er was stunned, and in a blink of an eye, she snorted: "I'm also strange, you are younger than me, how can you embroider so well?" Wei Jin also said: "I see. However, whether you want money or not, you have solved Shi'er's crisis. We have to understand this situation. â
Yu Shi'er nodded again and again, she stretched out her head and shouted outside: "I'll take your sister-in-law to play, and Bao Zhun will send her back at night, you don't have to follow." After that, Yu Shi'er shrank her head and tilted her head to look at Ji Xi, "What?" Aren't you happy to go with us? â
On one side, Wei Jin, who was also acquainted with Ji Ji, sneered. She said angrily: "If it weren't for your surname Ji." It's the emperor's bloodline, especially if you helped Shi'er, our daughters, where are you worthy of sitting in the same car? Hum. You're not happy! â
In Ji Ji's opinion. There is the so-called gathering of likes. These sisters-in-law, like Yu Shi'er, are all straightforward and fast-talking. With this characteristic alone, no matter how bad these women are, they can't be much worse. At most, he likes to take advantage of it.
At that moment, she chuckled and said, "Yes, you are right, I am deeply honored to be valued by you." â
As soon as she said this, several sisters-in-law were also satisfied, and laughed one by one.
At this time, Ji Ji turned to Yu Shi'er, and she asked, "How did you find out that it was mine?" â
Yu Shi'er was stunned, she tilted her head and thought about it, then turned to Wei Jin and asked, "Yes, who sued me about this, I don't remember, Ah Jin, do you remember?" â
Wei Jin shook her head, and she said funny: "How do I know about you?" â
While the women were talking and laughing, the donkey cart gradually drove onto the main street.
Looking at the flow of people coming and going outside, Yu Shi'er said happily: "In two days it will be the Obon Festival, this festival is a big festival in Jiankang, Auntie, I heard that you are from Jingdi, is your Obon Festival there so lively?" â
Ji Ji smiled and said: "We are more believers in Taoist ghosts and gods, and this Buddhist festival is not too important. â
"That's right." The girls became happy, and said one by one: "I heard that there are many ghosts and monsters in the countryside, is that so? "Ah, do you have any scholars in that county?"
Ji Ji answered their words without saying a word, turned her head to look at the embankment in front of her, and said softly, "Ah, the lotus flowers are blooming so beautifully." â
"And that's not all." Yu Shi'er pointed to the other side of the riverbank and said, "There are pomegranate flowers and moon seasons, as well as jasmine acacias, these are all flowering seasons, but they are beautiful." â
At this moment, Yu Shi'er's gaze froze.
The women followed her eyes, and at this look, they saw Liu Jun, the third prince in a black robe, who was holding a boat floating from the lotus, the beautiful man with perfect facial features like carving, and clear and deep eyes, really blended with the lotus, forming an incomparable picture of a beautiful man.
The women looked at Liu Jun for a while, and on one side, Wei Jin sighed softly: "Lang Jun is the most beautiful, but why is he not a scholar?" â
Ji Ji turned her head to look.
Wei Jin explained to her: "Although this Liu Jun is the prince, but the surname Liu is a poor family, there is a so-called Shishu who is not married, I think he has not been married until now, he must have taken a fancy to which sister-in-law of the Shi clan, and it is pitiful if he can't ask for it." â
Ji Ji secretly thought: These sisters-in-law also think too highly of themselves, this Liu Jun, will he ask for it?
Turning her head, Ji Ji looked at the handsome and dazzling Liu Jun who came from the lotus, and thought to herself: This prince who no one cares about will kill the prince in the future and become the next emperor's ruthless character!
As he spoke, the handsome figure of the third prince gradually disappeared from everyone's eyes, and as soon as he disappeared, the donkey cart walking around resumed the noise again, and seeing the Chinese Studies Museum and the History Museum that gradually appeared in the field of vision, as well as the Speculation Hall, Ji Ji sighed lightly: "It's still the most lively here." â
"That's nature, there are a lot of beautiful men here."
As soon as Yu Shi'er's words came out, several sisters-in-law laughed.
These sisters-in-law of the scholar clan were all weak enough to be able to sit in the car for only an hour or two, and then they shouted tired one by one, so at noon, their donkey cart turned around and drove towards Ji Ji's manor.
After putting Ji Ji down, several sisters-in-law waved at her, and Wei Jin even shouted: "Auntie, I will marry in Jiankang in the future, let's move around more." Another sister-in-law surnamed Liu stretched out her head and shouted: "Aunt Ji, although you are a little greedy for money and have more means to be a person, but you still have a smart person, I will always be healthy in the future, let's come out to play together next time." "That's it, I'll ask you out next time."
Ji Ji smiled, and after watching a few sisters-in-law leave, she entered her manor lightly.
In the manor, Zheng Wuzheng looked at her with a look of relief, and when Ji Ji walked inside, the old man came over, "Those scholars think very highly of themselves, and they never associate with people who are inferior to themselves, but they are still sisters-in-law, and they have made such amazing friends." â
Ji Ji was not proud, she glanced back at Zheng Wu, and suddenly said: "Uncle Zheng, wait a minute, you will let Qin Xiaomu take my name sticker, go to Zhang Hezhi, and ask, why did he and I count on me when we first met?" Did someone reveal something to him? â
Ji Ji was thinking: These four sisters-in-law are all innocent and unintentional people, even they can find out that it is me who repairs the embroidered screen, and they have also found my home, so to speak, Yu Shi'er's stepmother, I am afraid that she also knows?
She has always known that these scholars are prosperous, although Yu Shi'er has said just now that her stepmother was sent to the nunnery, but maybe the stepmother still has a few relatives. Her relatives may have no way to deal with Yu Shi'er, but there must be a way to deal with herself. So, she had to take precautions.

Yesterday I coded almost 11,000 words, which is the most efficient I have ever had in the past year. Maybe I was too excited, I couldn't sleep very late yesterday, so I had to make up for sleep during the day today, so today's update is late. There is also a watch, which will not be delivered until ten o'clock. (To be continued......)
