Ji Xianzhi made fists with both hands, bowed to her and said, "It's the girl who drove Qianshan to come to deliver the meal in person." It's just that... Since everyone in the house has a share, what is this other food box for? ”

Qian Shan glanced down at the food box she was carrying in her hand, her face barely pulled out a trace of gentleness, and she restrained her reluctance from the bottom of her heart and said, "This one was given to Nanyang Pavilion by the female monarch... It's just that... Mr. Ji, you also know that our girl just had a big quarrel with Mrs. Xiang, and it is really not good to go to Nanyang Pavilion to show her face again, but I am afraid that there will be another fight for immortality. Thereupon... The female monarch wanted to bother Mr. Lao to take a trip, and sent the dim sum soup cakes and cakes to Mrs. Xiang for the North Courtyard, and also apologized as the female monarch. ”

She carried the food box and handed it to Ji Xianzhi, with a smile on her face, which was very twisted.

Ji Xianzhi knew that it was not easy for Jiang Chengjian to ask Qianshan to hand over the food box in person, and now that this girl had been humiliated by Mrs. Xiang because of her master, it was very reasonable for her to be angry and fall down.

He thought about it thoughtfully, then put the clothes in his hand in the bamboo basket in front of the door, took the food box with both hands, and bent down slightly and said, "In this way, the old slave will run for the female monarch." Please ask Miss Qianshan to bring a word to the female monarch for me. ”

Qian Shan nodded and said, "Mr. Ji, please speak." ”

"After all, Mrs. Xiang is the wife of the deceased brother of the lord's old friend, even if she has some scheming and some appearance. In the eyes of the lord, he is not as good as the female monarch. And let the lady rest assured, the lord is acting like this now, but he can't help himself. I will take care of the lord and never let Mrs. Xiang have the opportunity to sit on the throne of the mother of this house. ”

Ji Xianzhi suddenly said this, which made Qianshan a little surprised.

She really never thought that Ji Xianzhi would hate Li Xiangjun so much, and thought that he, like Lu Xun and Zhou Yuanmo, was optimistic about Mrs. Xiang, thinking that his girl was the sister of a political enemy, and Ning Nan was really unfriendly and unloved.

She froze at the moment, and suddenly didn't know what to say for a while, and looked at Ji Xianzhi in a daze, looking at it for a long time.

Ji Xianzhi reminded with a light cough.

Qian Shan immediately retracted her gaze, lowered her eyes and turned around twice, before saluting the middle-aged man in front of her and saying, "Thank you Mr. Ji for taking care of my girl." The slave and maid then retired first. ”

Ji Xianzhi nodded, watched the three maids in this group go out, lowered his head and looked at the food box in his hand, sighed lightly, picked up the bamboo basket in front of the door and went to the backyard.

He hurriedly instructed the maid in the's room, and then rushed to the south courtyard with the food box.

Although Gu Anxuan's house was not big, in the two months since he moved in, the family in the house has opened up the backyard in a barren manner, built the house in pieces, and demolished the wall and rebuilt it, but it is much more spacious. The layout of the house has also been rebuilt a little, and the original narrow and high passage has become a long corridor street, paved with stone roads, which is really good-looking, but at the same time, the distance between the courtyards has also increased a lot. The spare space is used to plant plants and trees, and naturally there is no shortcut.

Ji Xianzhi went to the Nanyang Pavilion in the South Courtyard in a roundabout way.

I happened to see Mrs. Xiang's side, Pei Ling, the servant who had been following, walking outside. This maid is the girl who hugged Mrs. Xiang when Ning Nan came to Nanyang Pavilion in the morning.

Pei Ling saw Ji Xianzhi at a glance, so she hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "What is the important matter for Mr. Ji to come at this time?" ”

Ji Xianzhi led the food box and said: "The female monarch made a meal for the whole house, and also specially prepared one for Mrs. Xiang, but the people in the north courtyard were not embarrassed to come, so they asked me to deliver it, and I also apologized to Mrs. Xiang." ”

When Pei Ling heard him mention Jiang Chengjia, her face immediately fell, and her usual pleasant face was gone, but she said very strongly: "Our princess doesn't need her to apologize as a country woman." ”

"Pei Ling! What nonsense? As soon as the little maid in front of her finished speaking, a sharp shout came from the back room.

A girl dressed in a blue Liantian brocade robe walked out, staring at Pei Ling with a very serious face.

Ji Xianzhi took the food box and looked at the girl silently, with a trace of disgust in his heart.

Li Xiangjun was accompanied by a total of three servants.

Whether they were in the Huai Wangfu in the past, or later married into the Wei family, these three maids have always followed Li Xiangjun. Over the years in the Wei family, these three maids have been her right-hand men, who have done many things for her, and their status in the Wei clan is also very high. In the entire Nanyang Princess Mansion, except for Li Xiangjun, the princess of the county, it is these three who are in charge.

And the maid in the blue brocade robe in front of him happened to be the one who was the first of the three, named Minghua. It's easy

This woman was also an official daughter in the past, but because her father was copied to prison, the family property and land were confiscated, and the clansmen were all held responsible. Later, he was bought in the house by the Duke of Dongqin and sent to serve Li Xiangjun, who was just a duke's daughter in the past, and was not canonized, because when he was nine years old, he saved the son of heaven who was still the prince at the time when the Chang Mengjun rebellion occurred. And this maid called Minghua was not treated by the Li family, and only stayed in the Huanyi Bureau of the Li family's boudoir.

Later, the Son of Heaven ascended the throne in the year of Yonghe, so he sealed the county for the Li family, gave a fief, and configured the princess's mansion, but because he was still young, he could only be temporarily fostered in the Huaiwang Mansion. It wasn't until after the Li family and Wei Cao got married, in order to help him gain a foothold in the Wei Mansion, that the maid who was born in an official family, had read some books, and had some insight on her side followed Li Xiangjun's side, and married into the Wei Mansion as a dowry girl with two maids who had been with the Li family since childhood.

After Wei Cao's death, this servant worked for the Li family all the way, gave her advice, and helped her prestige in the Wei family to rise more and more, so that she could truly become Li Xiangjun's confidant. To say that the depth of Li Xiangjun's city is absolutely difficult to find, this Minghua is not a good stubble.

On the day Li got married from the palace, the first time he saw Minghua, Ji Xianzhi felt that this girl was by no means a good person, and later learned that she had done all the evil things for the Li family, and he became even more disgusted with her.

"Sister Minghua, Pei Ling has never said nonsense..."Pei Ling was trembling by Minghua's training, and took two steps back and shouted again and again.

Minghua didn't pay attention to her, but bowed to Ji Xianzhi and said, "Mr. Ji, Pei Ling has always been unruly and ignorant, and I hope Mr. won't blame." ”

Ji Xianzhi's face was not shocked or dry, and he said very calmly: "Little girl... It's normal to have some petty tempers, it's just... In the lower part is also the steward of this huge command mansion and the Huaiyin Marquis Mansion, even if it can't be called a girl to slander the master's mother, it's nothing..."

His face changed slightly, darkened, and stared at Pei Ling, who was hanging his head, and said: "Even though the female monarch once traveled the world with her childhood, holding a sword and exploring flowers, she is not an ordinary husband and a village woman. As the first female official beside the princess, Minghua has to take care of the moral upbringing of her servants at all times, so as not to let Princess Nanyang lose face outside the princess's mansion. ”

These words were like thorns, which made Pei Ling, who lowered her head, feel uncomfortable, and her face turned blood-red.

Minghua was also reprimanded, and bowed to him respectfully: "Thank you Mr. Ji for your advice, Minghua has been taught, and he will definitely control his subordinates well in the future." ”

Ji Xianzhi didn't want to talk to her anymore, so he looked at the inner courtyard with his head slightly sideways and asked, "Isn't the princess there?" ”

Minghua said again: "Mr. Bing, the prince sent someone from Laifu Restaurant to summon the princess to the banquet for a drink. Now the princess has been invited and went out with Sihui. ”

Sihui is another servant on Li's side.

Ji Xianzhi was very puzzled when he heard her words, and asked with pretended concern: "The princess's wind cold has not healed yet... How can you go to the restaurant against the wind? How can you drink alcohol? ”

Minghua froze, and said softly: "This... The slave and maid did not know... The matter between the master's family, the maid really can't figure it out. ”

Nanyang Pavilion's tone was the tightest, especially the person in front of him. Minghua didn't say a word, but Ji Xianzhi knew what the Li family was thinking.

I'm afraid that there is no lord who sent a servant to invite her to the restaurant, because with the lord's temperament, he will never send someone to summon the Li family to the restaurant for no reason. In the matter of Linhe, the Li family has not been involved from beginning to end, how can the lord call her over? All this is just that the Li family got the news of Zhou Yuanmo's banquet in the restaurant in time, and he insisted on going his own way, accompanying the lord, and participating in the matter of Linhe with the lord, and thinking of a reasonable reason, making up nonsense.

In the final analysis, the Li family does not trust the lord, if he can't conspire with the lord and plan a matter together, I'm afraid that he can't completely trust the lord's sincerity.

Ji Xianzhi scoffed at her thoughts, but he still had to hold it on his face.

He handed the food box in his hand to Minghua before saying, "So... There are still many things to do in the house, so I handed over the food box to Miss Minghua and took the first step. ”

Minghua nodded and said, "Mr. Lao Ji has come over in person." ”

Ji Xianzhi didn't talk nonsense to her, turned around and left.

Minghua smiled and kept sending Ji Xianzhi out with a salute eye, waiting until the plain figure completely disappeared in front of the courtyard gate. Minghua's smiling face instantly darkened.

Pei Ling on the side stared at the food box she was holding with some disgust and said, "Sister Minghua... Are we really going to take this food box? I'm afraid that the princess will come back and look annoyed. ”

Minghua took the crimson carved food box to his eyes and looked at it again and again, and sneered: "You don't want to see what kind of place we are?" Where can I put all this vulgar stuff? Jiang Nu, a master of the hall, mother and daughter, actually made snacks and meals for the servants in person, and also sent one to us as a fair. How? Could it be that we Nanyang Pavilion are also regarded as subordinates of their Hou Mansion? ”

The girl's face changed quickly, but Pei Ling on the side had already adapted to it, and kept nodding her head in agreement: "That's it!" Sister Minghua, I thought... You're really going to take the country woman's things. ”
