Chapter 176: Visiting One and Two
Ji Yisheng said in surprise, "Do you want your eldest brother to go to the north as well? Your eldest brother is now favored by the four princes, and he is on an errand in front of the four princes, and now it is very beautiful, let him go to the north at this time, he is afraid that he will not go." ”
Ji Ruhuan sneered, "It's up to him whether to go or not, don't worry, third uncle, I have my own way." ”
Ji Yisheng looked at his nephew with a complicated expression, and he was ashamed, shocked and puzzled, is this really a sixteen-year-old girl?
After a long talk, Ji Yisheng was shocked, and Ji Yisheng was also awakened, and he no longer felt that his niece was ruthless, but he only felt that his eldest brother had been completely blinded by ambition and his conscience had become ruthless.
Ji Ruhuan felt that since she came back to Kyoto, she had become very busy, and she had just returned to Xiaojia's courtyard to take a nap for a while, and someone outside came to report that it was Chen Xiaohou of Zhongyi's Mansion who asked to see her.
Ji Ruhuan was stunned for a moment before she realized who Chen Xiaohou was, it seemed that he had lived a new life, and his mood had changed a lot, and the people who had been in his heart seemed to have gradually forgotten.
She didn't know what the reason why Chen Xiaohou came to her at this time, but thinking of the current situation, Ji Ruhuan still planned to meet Chen Xiaohou.
Although in this life, she could no longer have anything to do with Chen Xiaohou, but she still didn't want Zhongyihou to be finally collected by the four princes and stand on the opposite side of the Ji family.
Zhongyi Hou is the son-in-law of Wu Taishi, he is not forced to be helpless, and he will never take refuge in the four princes.
Ji Ruhuan was received by Chen Xiaohou in a side courtyard in the front yard, anyway, his reputation was like that, and he didn't think about getting married, Ji Ruhuan didn't care if it was appropriate for him to meet Chen Xiaohou like this now.
The long-opened Ji Ruhuan also amazed Chen Xiaohouye, and at the same time, when Chen Xiaohou Ye looked at Ji Ruhuan, there was heartache in his eyes, even if he was sluggish, he also felt that Ji Ruhuan was no longer the Ji Ruhuan who took him to heart and wanted to marry him.
Chen Xiaohou Ye hid the heartache in his eyes, and clasped his fists to salute, "I've seen the county lord." ”
Ji Ruhuan smiled lightly and replied, "We are also acquaintances, there is no need to be so polite, please sit down." ”
The two sat down, and Ji Ruhuan asked, "Why did the little marquis come to find Ruhuan?"
After a while, Chen Xiaohou Ye found his voice and answered, "I heard that you are back, so I came over to visit one or two." ”
After another pause, he finally asked his own question, "Ruhuan came back from the north?"
Ji Ruhuan pursed her lips, it seems that many people in Kyoto are quite concerned about her father's attitude, otherwise they would not be so eager to inquire about her coming back from the north.
"It's not. Ji Ruhuan simply responded.
Chen Xiaohou Ye looked at Ji Ruhuan and said worriedly, "Then where have you been in the past two years? I have sent people to Jizhou, and you are not there." ”
Ji Ruhuan replied with a light smile, "Did you send someone to Jizhou, let the little marquis bother." ”
Ji Ruhuan's answer made Chen Xiaohou speechless for a while, and some couldn't answer.
He came over because his father found him and asked him to come over to inquire about the attitude of General Ji to the current situation in Beijing, after all, General Ji's family went to the north, and most of them also thought that Ji Ruhuan went to the north with him and came back from the north.
Chen Xiaohou responded simply, but when he heard that Ji Ruhuan was back, he wanted to come over and take a look, and it happened that his father gave him a reason.
"Like a happy ......", Chen Xiaohou looked at such a moving girl who has now come out, but he didn't know how to speak.
Ji Ruhuan couldn't stand the appearance of Chen Xiaohou Ye a little, so he simply asked, "I heard that your father Zhongyihou was involved in the case of the Hubu Shangshu embezzlement of ink and was suspended from his position?"
Chen Xiaohou Ye didn't come back to his senses for a while, paused, and nodded after a while, and responded, "My father was also inexplicably implicated in this matter." ”
Chen Xiaohou Ye said a word, and he didn't plan to say more, thinking that even if Ruhuan had the title of county lord, she was also a woman, and she didn't know much about these things.
But I heard Ji Ruhuan speak, "You can start to investigate from the family of the fourth prince and concubine, and you may have unexpected gains." ”
Seeing that Chen Xiaohou Ye didn't react, Ji Ruhuan frowned slightly, "Don't tell me that you don't know who did it to you." ”
Ji Ruhuan remembered that in his previous life, many things that the four princes were not suitable to come forward to, and the maiden family of the four princes and concubines stood up for him.
No one could have imagined that the merchant Yue family, who was originally despised by the four princes, ended up becoming a sharp sword held by the four princes.
She also had the mentality of giving it a try, and mentioned one or two points to see if the Chen family could find some clues on this clue.
Ji Ruhuan opened his mouth so bluntly, and Chen Xiaohou finally came back to his senses and looked at Ji Ruhuan in surprise, "How do you know that it is the fourth prince?"
Ji Ruhuan smiled and responded, "Unfortunately, I saw the fourth prince and the queen mother in the palace this morning. ”
Chen Xiaohou Ye was dazzled by Ji Ruhuan's smile again.
Only when he came out of the Zhenguo Mansion, Chen Xiaohou was still in a trance, after two years, why did he feel that what he had just met was not the Ji Ruhuan he knew before, that kind of wisdom and wisdom, calm and calm, more like a different person.
At night, the Zhenguo Mansion was already silent, but Ji Ruhuan was still sitting at the chess table, playing chess with herself.
Xiaohua on the side opened her mouth to persuade, "Miss, why don't we rest first?"
Ji Ruhuan shook her head, "You go and see if the uncle has come back." ”
Xiaohua had to go out again.
It didn't take long for Xiaohua to come back, followed by Xiao Jin, looking at the teapot on the table, and unceremoniously poured a cup for herself first, Xiao Jin said to Ji Ruhuan, who had put down the chess pieces in his hand and was waiting for her to speak, "Uncle and a few colleagues in the court and China finished drinking, and went to the courtyard of the four princes together, which was heavily guarded, and the little one was afraid of being found to startle the snake, so he didn't dare to trespass, so he came back to report to Miss." ”
Ji Ruhuan stood up and said to Xiaohua on the side, "Prepare clothes for me, and I'll go by myself." ”
Xiao Jin said worriedly, "Miss, I look at that courtyard, like an iron bucket, it's too risky for you to go, why don't you try it small?"
Ji Ruhuan glanced at Xiao Jin with disgust, "With your skills, you can only startle the snake if you go." ”
Xiao Jin stood in place with a resentful face and watched Miss enter the inner room with Xiaohua, and he was disgusted by Miss again.
Ji Ruhuan and Xiaohua changed into a night suit and came out together, Xiaojin looked at Xiaohua and said dissatisfiedly, "Why doesn't Miss take her with me?"
Ji Ruhuan said unceremoniously, "She is better than you." ”
Xiao Jin's heart was hit again, and his eyes became even more resentful.
