Second Master Ji was still generally calm on the surface, but Second Mrs. Ji showed a sad face.

Seeing this situation, Ji Xiaotang could only comfort Second Mrs. Ji.

"The prince did this, for me, it can be regarded as both pros and cons." The advantage of this is that the problems on their side are solved, and they don't need to worry about it anymore. "Mother, think about it, if the prince didn't do this, the Yang family and the eldest uncle and aunt would release such news, I would have to marry into the Yang Mansion."

This sentence successfully diverted Mrs. Ji's attention.

"How can the eldest brother and sister-in-law do such a thing!" Mrs. Ji Er complained to Master Ji Er.

Second Master Ji was silent.

"It's just about interests." Ji Xiaotang said lightly, without the slightest anger in his demeanor and tone. She has already seen the actions of Master Ji and Mrs. Ji in her eyes, and she will no longer be angry because of this.

Because there is expectation, there will be disappointment. Because you care, you will be annoyed.

For Master Ji and Mrs. Ji, Ji Xiaotang has neither expectations nor care.

The three of them discussed, and they all agreed that Han Zhen had helped them solve the matter on Yang Ge Lao's side perfectly, but Han Zhen himself was no easier to solve than Yang Ge Lao.

"You can only act at the opportunistic level." After thinking about it, Ji Xiaotang said to Second Master Ji and Second Mrs. Ji. Anyway, they are still in a cooperative relationship with Han Zhen now. Moreover, this cooperative relationship is bound to continue.

In other words, they had to cooperate with Han Zhen. The reason for this is very clear, and there is no need to say more.

And Han Zhen's move. It will also make waves in the capital, and after that, what they have to do and can do. That is, to look at the reactions of all sides, and then act on the camera.

Ji Xiaotang believes that things will always take a turn for the better. Although Han Zhen was very sure, Ji Xiaotang didn't believe that the palace would nod so happily to let her marry into the Jing'an Palace.

In addition to the head of the palace, Han Zhen is not a monopoly in Beijing, and there are other forces that cannot be ignored.

These forces wrestle and compete with each other. She may be able to find a glimmer of life from it, and hold the decision of her family affairs in her own hands to the greatest extent.

From being named the county lord, to the later palace came out of the will to elect female officials. Ji Xiaotang had already prepared in her heart, her family affairs were no longer her own business, nor was it the Ji family's business.

Even earlier, the family moved from Qingyuan to the capital. She realized it.

"Daddy. Mother, you don't have to worry too much. Ji Xiaotang comforted Second Master Ji and Second Mrs. Ji. No matter what, she will let herself and her family live, and she will live better and better.

"Xiaotang, we all know your thoughts. Anyway, even if it's for us, you shouldn't be too wronged by yourself. Master Ji Er said to Ji Xiaotang earnestly.

"Your father is right, and my mother means the same thing. As long as our family is reunited, we are in one place. The rest can be discarded. Mrs. Ji Er also said immediately.

"Hmm." Ji Xiaotang smiled and nodded. She knows. In any case, in this world, there are still people who have no selfish intentions and think about her regardless of the consequences. And she's willing to do anything for these people.

After discussing for a while, Second Master Ji got up and went to find Master Ji.

Second Master Ji decided not to tear his face with Master Ji, just as he didn't know about the rumors he released outside. Han Zhen begged for a phoenix, even if he was happy with Yang Ge's old family, he could only endure the pain of cutting his love.

There's no way around it.

Of course, if Yang Ge Lao's side can come up with any good way, on the premise of not offending Han Zhen, and make Han Zhen give up the idea of courting Ji Xiaotang, then he is quite willing.

In this way, he kicked the problem to Yang Ge Lao again, making Yang Ge Lao upset, and no one on Ji Er's side and Ji Xiaotang could be offended.

Leaving the second wife Ji in Jinghua Hall to take care of Changsheng, Ji Xiaotang himself took people to Xuanhua Hall.

Mrs. Ji and Ji Xiaoyun were there, and they also knew about Han Zhen.

“…… I've been suspicious for a long time," Mrs. Ji asked Ji Xiaotang to sit down beside her, holding Ji Xiaotang's hand, half concerned and half worried. "With the identity of the prince, even if he lives in our house, he is too polite to me, an old woman, which is really unreasonable. My wife doesn't have anything he can fancy up, he must have taken a fancy to our family or something else. ”

Now she knows that Han Zhen has a crush on her granddaughter, Ji Xiaotang.

Ji Xiaotang didn't speak, Mrs. Ji didn't know that it was not only her who Han Zhen had taken a fancy to the Ji family. If it was just her, then the matter would be relatively easy to solve.

"Xiaotang, have you discussed it with your father, what do you want?" Mrs. Ji then asked Ji Xiaotang.

"We can only drag it out first, and then see if there is any good solution." Ji Xiaotang told Mrs. Ji.

Old Mrs. Ji sighed, "That's the only way." I said I wouldn't come to the capital, hey. ”

"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and my grandmother doesn't have to worry too much about it."

"I don't have any skills, I can only burn incense in the morning and evening, please your grandfather and the ancestors of the Ji family have spirits in the sky, and they can bless you."

Mrs. Ji was able to think of doing this, which showed that she was attentive enough.

And if you continue to talk like this, you can only increase your troubles, but it will not help, so Ji Xiaotang cleverly diverted the topic.

It just so happened that a girl sent a freshly baked dim sum, and Ji Xiaotang was busy taking what Mrs. Ji liked and handed it to Mrs. Ji.

"Xiaotang, you eat it too," Mrs. Ji also greeted Ji Xiaotang, "I specially instructed someone to make your favorite bean paste crisp." ”

After Mrs. Ji greeted Ji Xiaotang, she greeted Ji Xiaoyun again.

Ji Xiaotang took the dim sum himself, his eyes turned slightly, and he saw the girl who was standing next to him and listening to the call after the dim sum came in.

This girl looked a little familiar, and Ji Xiaotang immediately remembered that this was the most outstanding one of the girls that Mrs. Ji sent to her on the first day she lived in Yanhua Hall.

"What's your name, why are you here? What about the other one? Ji Xiaotang put down the snack and asked the girl.

The girl didn't expect Ji Xiaotang to remember her, and she talked to her with a pleasant face. It's a little flattered. She hurriedly bent her knees and blessed herself before answering Ji Xiaotang's question.

"Back to the third girl, the maid's name is Mingyue, and now she is serving in the old lady's kitchen. The name of the old lady who came to serve the old lady with the maidservant is Caiyu, and now the old lady serves in the small tea room. Mingyue's voice is tactful and crisp, and it is a simple Wanfu that looks particularly good when she does it.

This is a wonderful girl who will emerge no matter where she puts it.

Ji Xiaotang talked to Mingyue. Naturally, it attracted the attention of Mrs. Ji.

"Xiaotang, you recognize this girl, but I'm not common." Mrs. Ji said.

"Grandmother forgot!" Ji Xiaotang said with a smile. "We just moved into Xinhuatang, and my aunt sent me four girls. The other two are not enough, but there are two that are particularly outstanding, and Mingyue is one of them. I don't dare to make it. I sent it over to serve my grandmother. ”

They just arrived that day. Mrs. Ji's body and mood were not very good, and things were busy, so she didn't care about it at the time, and she forgot about it later.

"When you say that, I remember it in a trance." Old Lady Ji said while trying to recall, looking at Mingyue.

"Grandmother, there is another colored jade, which is no worse than Mingyue. Grandmother must have liked it when she saw it. Ji Xiaotang said immediately.

"Then call me and show me." Old Mrs. Ji nodded.

There will be a little girl to go down, and it will take a while. So he brought the colored jade.

Mingyue and Caiyu are both handsome in figure and face, and their words and deeds are not the same as ordinary girls. Ji Xiaotang deliberately asked Caiyu two more words, Caiyu's voice was slightly lower than Mingyue, but it was more gentle.

Mrs. Ji watched from the side, a little thoughtful.

"This is something that the eldest lady specially sent to you?"

Ji Xiaotang replied: "Later, somehow, the eldest aunt sent someone again, saying that she wanted to go back to these two girls and give me a better one." But by that time, I had already given them to my grandmother. There is no follow-up on the eldest aunt's side. ”

At this time, a mother-in-law in charge came out next to him.

"The eldest lady also sent someone to Xuanhuatang later to ask the stewards that they wanted to go back to Mingyue and Caiyu. I said that I couldn't be the master, and I wanted to go back to the old lady. They said that they would not alarm the old lady, and only asked me not to arrange for them to serve with the old lady. ”

This mother-in-law is Ji Xiaotang's confidant brought from Qingyuan, because she is loyal and capable, so she is arranged in Xuanhuatang to take care of the daily chores for Mrs. Ji.

"Oh......"

When Mrs. Ji listened to the mother-in-law in charge, she became more and more suspicious.

"Where did you two serve in the first place?" Mrs. Ji asked Mingyue and Caiyu about it.

The two girls originally thought that they were promising, but as they gradually listened, they faintly felt that something was not good, and they immediately supported themselves, not daring to say where they were serving.

"Yes, I served in the courtyard of the great lady." In the end, the two of them lowered their heads and secretly exchanged glances before saying.

"In the courtyard of the eldest lady, there is also a specific deacon!" Mrs. Ji was dissatisfied with this answer and continued to ask.

The two girls knelt down, and in the end they only said that they were serving by Mrs. Ji's side, and they didn't dare to say anything else.

With this attitude of the two, Mrs. Ji was even more suspicious. She first sent Mingyue and Caiyu down, and then ordered the mother-in-law in charge to investigate.

"Go and ask carefully, where did these two originally serve, and whether they originally served the eldest master!"

After all, Mrs. Ji is a little old, and she has been in the back house for a long time, so she quickly guessed such a thing.

The housekeeper's mother-in-law listened to the instructions and went out to make arrangements.

"Grandmother, what is this for?" Ji Xiaotang deliberately asked Mrs. Ji.

"It's my negligence, it's my negligence, I always knew that she was poisonous, but I still didn't expect her to do it to this point!" Old Mrs. Ji was muttering to herself, and she came back to her senses when she heard Ji Xiaotang's question. "Xiaotang, you stupid boy, after all, you are still too young."

"Don't ask, leave this matter to grandmother, grandmother will definitely seek justice for you, and she will not spare that slut easily. …… He actually used the next means on his young niece! ”

Mrs. Ji lost her temper, and before the mother-in-law in charge came back from investigation, she had already convicted Mrs. Ji in her heart.

Ji Xiaotang stopped talking.

The housekeeper arranged for the two girls to stay away from Mrs. Ji's sight, and refused to return the person to Mrs. Ji. It's all her arrangement. If Mrs. Ji kept to herself and stopped calculating her wisely, then this page would be over. She won't bother with Mrs. Ji anymore.

And if Mrs. Ji refuses to keep to herself and continues to calculate her, these two girls will be able to block Mrs. Ji.

Now, Mrs. Ji is calculating her family affairs, and deliberately releasing the news regardless of her wishes and reputation, which should teach her some lessons.

The housekeeper's mother-in-law went for a while and came back soon. She attached herself to Mrs. Ji's ear. After saying two words like this, Mrs. Ji's face became darker and darker.

"Go, call the eldest lady." Old Madam Ji immediately commanded.

Someone was busy looking for Mrs. Ji.

Mrs. Ji is in the Qianhua Hall. Master Ji was asked by Second Master Ji to talk in the study, and Ji Xiaomu and Yang also left, and now there are only her and Ji Xiaolian in the room.

Mrs. Ji was very troubled.

"Who would have thought that the prince of Jing'an came to such a hand. How can I explain this to your grandfather! "Yang Ge is not easy to explain. Maybe Aunt Zhong is helping to persuade her, and it is not in the way. However, Yang Xuanrang's heart is now tied to Ji Xiaotang's body, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to accept such news.

Yang Xuanrang is the treasure of Yang Shao and Mrs. Yang, and is likely to be dissatisfied with her because of this. In addition to these two people, of course, there is also the old lady of Yang Ge, the Qin family.

Ji Xiaolian wasn't worried, but her heart was sour.

“…… Sure enough, it wasn't a fuel-efficient lamp, but when I saw Xuan Rang, I was fascinated by Xuan Rang. It turned out that he had already caught up with Prince An. Prince An is too, what kind of woman has never seen it. How was she confused. She must have used some shady means! ”

Although Mrs. Ji was worried, she still heard Ji Xiaolian's words clearly.

"You're a girl, and you don't know how to avoid it! What doesn't catch up, that's what you should say? If people hear it, what can they think of you? "Mrs. Ji was busy and spoke out to persuade Ji Xiaolian." Xiaolian, you have to always remember that you are the one who is going to enter the palace. If you go to the palace, you still talk like this, and whether you can be selected is a question. ”

Mrs. Ji told Ji Xiaolian that in order to enter the palace, she must always pay attention to her image.

Ji Xiaolian pursed her lips, knowing in her heart that Mrs. Ji was right, but this did not alleviate her jealousy of Ji Xiaotang in the slightest.

"Mother, I know, I will only say this in front of my mother. Out of this door, I won't talk about it. ”

"That's what it really is." Mrs. Ji glanced at Ji Xiaolian in disbelief.

Compared with Ji Xiaotang, Ji Xiaolian is too unstable, which makes her feel at ease.

"What I said is still good, this matter is rumored out, and I don't know what will be commented on outside. I have heard my grandfather say before that Prince An is young and old. But what did he do for Ji Xiaotang? A dignified prince, what do you play for Ji Xiaotang...... What phoenix seeks ......" Speaking of this, I don't know why, Ji Xiaolian's face was slightly red.

"Where is there any young man or old man, too, too recklessly, Ji Xiaotang's face......"

Speaking of this, Ji Xiaolian had a tendency to chatter.

Of course, Mrs. Ji heard it, Ji Xiaolian was jealous of Ji Xiaotang. It's not just Ji Xiaolian, even she can't say that she is not jealous at all.

Ji Xiaolian entered the palace, although it was possible that she would eventually sit on the queen's throne, but they were definitely not the only ones who took a fancy to the queen's throne, and this road was not so easy to walk.

Compared with this, if you can marry into the Jing'an Palace, you will be a concubine as soon as you enter the door, and you will be able to cover the sky in the backyard of the palace, which is noble and troublesome.

Why didn't she think of Prince Jing'an for a long time!

Mrs. Ji had some regrets in her heart.

Prince Jing'an has been in widowhood for nearly two years, but he has always had a good relationship with Princess Qi, and after the widowhood, he put on a sad posture, and he seems to be very reluctant to mention the matter of remarriage. Other than that, he was not in the capital most of the time.

Perhaps it is precisely because of these reasons that the people in the capital seem to forget that except for the one in the palace, King Jing'an is the most noble and highest-status single man in the capital.

"The prince doesn't have an heir yet...... "Mrs. Ji muttered.

If King Jing'an came to ask for Ji Xiaolian today, how good would it be, Ji Xiaolian would have relied on for life, and she didn't have to continue to worry about Ji Xiaolian's entry into the palace.

The attitude of the Yang Mansion was a little ambiguous, and it seemed that he intended to let Yang Pianpian enter the palace as an alternative. If Yang Pianpian enters the palace, then Ji Xiaolian will definitely be behind Yang Pianpian.

"Mother, what are you talking about?" Ji Xiaolian clearly heard Mrs. Ji's words clearly, but pretended not to hear them clearly.

"Oh, nothing." Mrs. Ji had a calculation in her heart, but she didn't want to tell Ji Xiaolian immediately. In this matter, she had to discuss it with Master Ji and her aunt first.

At this time, the person sent by Mrs. Ji arrived.

"What's the matter with the old lady looking for me?" When Mrs. Ji heard that Mrs. Ji was looking for her, she began to feel uncomfortable.

Mrs. Ji didn't want to see her, and she usually didn't want to see her, but at this time, she suddenly sent someone to look for her, and Mrs. Ji always felt that it would not be a good thing. But she couldn't think of anything bad for a moment.

Recently, she didn't say anything or do anything to annoy Mrs. Ji.

Could it be that the other side of the East Road decided to promise Prince Jing'an's family affairs and asked her to come over to help handle it?

The person sent by Mrs. Ji only said that she didn't know what was going on, and Mrs. Ji thought about it in her heart.

"If the eldest lady is fine, please move quickly. The eldest lady also knew that the old lady was in a hurry. The housekeeper who came reminded Mrs. Ji with a smile.

Mrs. Ji will turn her face at every turn, and if she goes late, she will inevitably end up with no face.

Mrs. Ji was reluctant, but she really didn't dare to delay, so she got up and went to Xuanhua Hall. Little did she know that a storm was waiting for her. (To be continued......)
