Chapter II: The Prince
Ji Zhun saw that she had received the reward, so he said: "Mother is not at home all the year round, and my uncle and aunt have to take care of the family, so it is inevitable that she can't take care of it. ”
Zhuang's mother nodded yes again and again.
Ji Zhun said again: "I saw my mother counting the warehouse just now, you can go and get busy, I don't have anything to serve here, I just have a big leg injury, so I just wander around the house casually." ”
Yao's mother, who had been standing aside, listened, her face was full of smiles, and she raised her eyes to look at Ji Zhun.
It had been two years since she had stood so close to Miss, and now that she looked closer, she was even better off than before. Miss's skin is very similar to that of her wife, fair and delicate, but not excessively white, but glowing with a healthy glow. Miss's eyebrows and eyes are very much like the old man, a little less pity for me, a little more heroic, but also not lose the beauty of her daughter's family.
She could see that Zhuang's mother tugged at her sleeves, she quickly withdrew her gaze and retreated with Zhuang's mother.
The maids and ladies who followed Ji Zhun also retreated to the door and waited, and Ji Zhun walked around the room with a cane.
She pushed open the partition door between the west corners, and the big kang near the window was still covered with a brocade mattress embroidered with red begonias.
Ji Zhun walked over slowly, sat on the mattress, and gently brushed his fingers over the embroidery.
She remembers that when she came to her mother's place as a child, her favorite thing was a mattress embroidered with red begonias. At that time, there were a lot of orchids planted in the Tinglan Pavilion, and every time she came, her father didn't pay much attention to her, just tending to the flowers and plants. Ji Zhun asked his mother, does his father dislike her? Her mother smiled and hugged her, pointed to her father who was digging in the distance, and said, "Your father is just a little stupid." ”
But Ji Zhun was young at the time and didn't understand what it meant, but she only felt that the light yellow and light green meant something. Later, when she saw such a bright embroidered red begonia in the western room, she liked it very much. When her mother saw her like this, she simply made a set of embroidered red begonias every time she made a new face.
A warm smile appeared on Ji Zhun's face, and after laughing, she began to miss her father and mother again, and she didn't know where they were now, and what was lacking in food and clothing? Do the maids serve with all their hearts? Has my mother's illness been cured......
In fact, my father abandoned his family and business to take his mother to travel, but it was actually just a cover-up, but it was actually for my mother's illness.
Her father is the eldest son of the British duke, named Yuanhua.
After the era became an adult, the Ning family made the decision and asked for him to marry Shandong Qinggui, and Xue Yi, the daughter of the Xue family, as his wife.
Ji Yuanhua and Xue Yi successfully gave birth to a baby girl a year after they got married, which is Ji Zhun.
After another two years, Xue was pregnant again, and this time the birth did not go so smoothly.
Xue was very happy when she was pregnant, and she was still vomiting all day long in May and June. Even the imperial doctor in the palace was invited, but it was not good.
The day of production was even more dangerous, but fortunately, a baby boy was born, which was Ji Zhun's third brother Ji Jin.
When Ji Jin was born, everyone didn't see anything abnormal.
But when Ji Jin was more than a year old, Ning and Xue found that Ji Jin couldn't walk, so he could only sit, and he couldn't even crawl.
The family panicked and sought medical advice everywhere, but nothing improved.
So Ji Jin's childhood has always been spent in a wheelchair.
It wasn't until Ji Jin was five or six years old that the Ji family invited a traveling doctor from Miao Jiang, who saw Ji Jin's situation and immediately pointed out that Ji Jin was not weak and sick, but the poison brought by the womb.
Later, this Miao doctor looked at the wrists of Xue's hands again, and talked for a long time with a serious face.
After the Miao doctor left, Ji Yuanhua also took Xue's packing up, and went out with a group of maids and maids, saying that he loved natural mountains and rivers and traveled to the outside world.
He has not returned to this day.
In the previous life, her mother went early, and who poisoned her became a mystery.
Ji Zhun sat on the pillow of Tuanhua on the big kang, and his eyes became obscure.
Later, Ji Zhun had been wandering around the Tinglan Pavilion until noon, and then he was slowly surrounded by the maids and mothers-in-law and returned.
In the evening, Ji Zhun first went to Ninghuatang and greeted his grandfather and grandmother, who left her for dinner.
After dinner, my grandmother spoke to her, "Now that our sister Heng's leg injury has healed, your grandfather and I think that this is also the blessing of the Bodhisattva, and it is good to go to Jueguang Temple to make incense." ”
Ji Zhun nodded in agreement, she was able to return from rebirth, and she also planned to go to the temple to make incense.
Ning Shi said again: "You have been detained at home for a long time, and I heard that the peach blossoms behind Jueguang Temple are also blooming, take advantage of this good weather, and with your uncle and sister, let's have a good time." ”
Ji Zhun pursed his lips and smiled: "It's all up to grandmother's arrangement." ”
The grandfather and grandson chatted for a while, and seeing that it was not too early, the Ning family let Ji Zhun go back.
When Ji Zhun left Ninghua Courtyard, Ning said to Mother Xue behind him, "What do you think of Sister Heng?" ”
Mother Xue stepped forward to help the Ning family walk towards the west, "The slave maid looked, the eldest lady seemed to have softened. ”
Ning Shi turned his head to look at Mother Xue, and said with a smile: "You just picked up that nice thing, my own granddaughter, can I still not know, she is not stubborn." ”
Mother Xue also replied with a smile: "I heard from the girls of Tianxing Courtyard a few days ago that there was a little maid who had just left her head, and she broke the white porcelain flower gourd that the eldest lady loved, and she just punished the little maid to go to the small kitchen to help with the work for a month. Isn't that soft? ”
Ning Shi also felt strange when he heard it, "There is such a thing? This kid has really changed sex, if only this were the case. Alas, although she was released by her grandfather to be a man, I always felt that the child was a little harsh and not tolerant enough, if it had always been like this. I'm afraid she's become a perverse person. ”
Mother Xue also nodded secretly in her heart when she heard this, she has served by Ning's side all her life, and she can be regarded as watching Ji Zhun grow up, and this eldest lady is indeed too bad-tempered. Take the other two young ladies in the second room as an example, the three of them originally grew up in the same mansion, and the sisters should be the closest to each other, but Ji Zhun always laughed at and fooled his two sisters with other ladies at various banquets.
Mother Xue couldn't help but smile bitterly, Ning Shi saw that Mother Xue was silent for a long time, so she turned her head to look at her, and when she saw her appearance, she came to comfort Mother Xue, "But Sister Heng'er is not like before now, I don't look like a fake, this is good." ”
Mother Xue gently removed the South China Sea bead headband on Ning's head, and nodded and said, "Maybe after this injury, Miss may have figured out some things." ”
Ning Shi stretched out his hand and stroked his sideburns, "If this is the case, then Sister Heng can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, and it is time to go to the temple to incense." ”
On the other side, when Ji Zhun came out of Ninghua Courtyard, it was already dark, and the two second-class maids and Jinyang were carrying the yarn descending lamp in front to guide her way, while Zhuyun and Zhaoyue were supporting her on the side.
She has walked a lot today, and her legs are inevitably not very cool.
The group returned to Tianxing Courtyard, the stars opened the curtains, and Ji Zhun went straight into the west room, the big kang in the west corner was warm, and the carbon stove in the house was also taken care of by the little maid from time to time.
Zhaoyue took off the fox fur for Ji Zhun and found a water blue jacket for her. Changing into light clothes, Ji Zhun shrank on the kang, and Qiyun came close to take off her embroidered shoes.
Ji Zhun looked at the shoes neatly placed on the pedal embroidered hibiscus flowers. After thinking about it, he instructed the Yue on the side and said, "You can run to the Tinglan Pavilion for me tomorrow and bring a few boxes of candied fruits to Mother Zhuang." Let's invite Yao's mother back again. ”
Calling Yue nodded in agreement, Ji Zhun added, "Let her bring those embroidered shoes with her." ”
"Hey!" Zhaoyue understood Ji Zhun's intentions, and she was also happy that Yao's mother could come back, so she responded crisply.
Ji Zhun waved off the maids again, they had been following him for a day, and they were also tired.
Before going out, Qiyun turned on the oil lamp for Ji Zhun, and then gently closed the door and retreated.
The room fell silent for a moment, except for the crackling of silver silk in the charcoal basin.
Ji Zhun shrank his feet, leaned into the pillow, and gently rubbed his fingers against the mahogany kang table on the big kang.
Ever since Ji Zhun knew that he was reborn, he often calculated the situation in front of him. Since she was reborn, she naturally had the advantage of being a prophet, but in her previous life, she was indifferent to the current situation, and she didn't know the details of many things.
But in terms of the fact that the Guogong Mansion was raided and beheaded, it happened a month after Emperor Jing died and the new emperor ascended the throne. I also know that this matter must be related to the succession to the throne.
Her great-grandfather, the old British duke, was a great general who founded the country with the emperor, and his heart was for the emperor, and the emperor also understood the loyalty of the British government. Therefore, when Ji Zhun's grandfather attacked the knight, he did not demote the knight, and he was still a super prince.
The British government has always only been a pure minister, and when the current saint first succeeded to the throne, other princes were also ready to move, but they did not set off any waves, they were all afraid of the military power in the hands of the British duke.
Since the beginning of Lao Guogong, a group of Ji family troops have been trained, and part of the Ji family army is stationed in Longchuan County, north of Taijing Kingdom; Some of them were stationed in the Qiuchuan military camp, which was closer to the imperial city.
Although there are still three battalions and Jinyi guards inside and outside the imperial city, those soldiers who have not been on the killing field after all, if they are really compared, I am afraid they are not opponents.
Therefore, the princes always have to find a way to pull the British government into their ranks.
In the previous life, the British government never chose a side, for fear that it would get in the way of anyone's business, so it was eliminated.
The British government has such a heavy army, but it has not been cooked by the emperor.
This has to start with the heirs of the Ji family.
When Ji Zhun's father was born, he happened to be in a situation where the Dianyue Kingdom and the Taijing Kingdom were in the same situation.
Ji Zhun's great-grandfather, the old British duke, took his two sons, Ji Zhen and Ji Jun, to the west to quell the chaos.
At that time, her grandfather Ji Jun and the Ning family had been married for a few years, and they couldn't give up, so they took the Ning family to the western Xinjiang.
And Ji Zhun's great-grandmother, the old British duchess, went a few years earlier, so the Ning family entrusted the two or three-year-old era to his mother.
This entrustment is five years.
Ning's mother is also a young lady from a family, and the Ning family is a family heirloom with poetry and books.
Therefore, when Ji Zhun's grandfather Ji Jun and the Ning family returned from chaos and went to Nanzhili to pick up their son home, they found that the young age Yuanhua was already dressed in a royal blue straight jacket, and he was full of mouths.
This gave Ji Zhun's grandfather a headache, and he also tried to force Ji Yuanhua to learn knives, guns, sticks, axes, hooks and forks. The epoch is not against learning martial arts.
But the epoch that left the study was like a fish that had lost its fins, and every time it was in the martial arts arena, it was a crackling and blind flutter.
Therefore, the British prince has not asked for the title of prince for the epoch.
