The vendor handed the wrapped hairpin to Jinguan, and then turned his head and asked Ji Zhun: "This little brother has a favorite cut, and I can even introduce the cut to you." ”

The vendor came from the south, and although his accent was a little heavy, he was warm and humorous.

Ji Zhun raised his hand and picked up a dagger on the stall, a small white copper dagger, with a simple pattern engraved on it, Ji Zhun pulled it out, scraped the blade lightly with his fingertips, and paused before he could start.

"That's it." The peddler took the dagger and asked tentatively, "Little brother also sent people away?" ”

This little trader is very interesting, Ji Zhun had the heart to joke with him, so he said, "Yes, give it away." ”

"I send it too... Girl? ”

Ji Zhun shook his head, the peddler breathed a sigh of relief, he had just called the south to come over, and he thought that the fashionable things in Beijing had changed, so who did he sell the flowers and butterflies in this stall?

But he couldn't wait to hear Ji Zhun say: "Give me my wife." ”

The peddler's hand shook, and he quietly looked at the brocade boy in front of him, a miserable green boy, who had already become a marriage before he could do it.

Jinyang pursed his lips and smiled, took the wrapped dagger, and took out his purse and gave the money, and gave two more copper plates.

Ji Zhun and Lin Yuanhui left under the strange gaze of the peddler.

Lin Yuanhui got into the carriage of the Lin Mansion, and Ji Zhun stood outside the car: "Young Master Lin, walk slowly." ”

The people in the carriage hummed softly, just like the cold and alienated when the two first met in Bian Wangfu.

The carriage rolled away, Ji Zhun led the horse and walked slowly towards the Guogong Mansion.

Next. Lin Yuanhui didn't come, only Jinguan came to the mansion to sort out all the poems. Ji Zhun read them one by one under the gaze of Jin Guan, and only handed them over to Jin Guan to take away after making sure that they were correct.

The matter of helping the eldest prince write poems has finally come to an end.

Evening.

Ji Zhun went to Ninghua Courtyard and accompanied his grandmother Ning to dinner with his uncle and two younger sisters.

In the hot summer day, everyone has little appetite, so the small kitchen specially mixed the shredded sea cucumber with mustard and chicken juice, and everyone ate a lot. There is also a simmered eggplant in sweet sauce, which is quite flavorful. There is no big meat, mostly refreshing side dishes such as stir-fried shrimp roe and dried shreds with autumn oil, and fake milk steamed with egg whites and honey made with wine.

A few people had dinner under the service of the maid and the maid, and the Ning family took Ji Ya Ji Female and sat on the Arhat couch covered with eggplant-colored Lu silk brocade mattress, and Ji Zhun and Cui Shi joined hands and sat on the embroidered pier painted with rich peonies on the side. Several women sat around and talked.

"Sister Heng, have you done everything the eldest prince has explained?" Ning was wearing a homely shirt embroidered with pine branches, twisting Buddhist beads in his hand, with a kind face and a kind tone.

"Back to grandmother, the granddaughter's side has already been done, and it has been handed over to Lin Gongzi today, and I think he will present it to the eldest prince in the near future."

"That's fine." Ning continued to twist the string of one hundred and eight Bodhi beads in his hand, "It's getting hotter and hotter this day, seeing that the Queen Mother's Holy Birthday is coming, Sister Heng can prepare a birthday gift?" ”

Ji Zhun nodded: "Grandmother, don't worry, although the grandchildren and grandchildren couldn't get away a few days ago, they have entrusted this matter to the safe steward of the shop to deal with it, and I think it will be sent to the house in the near future." ”

"What kind of treasure has Sister Heng prepared this year for the Queen Mother?" Ning asked.

Every year on the Holy Birthday Day, the Queen Mother will make a decree to invite the young masters and ladies of all families to participate, and Ji Zhun is naturally among the invitees. The Queen Mother has always loved her, and she also changed her tricks to please the Queen Mother on the Holy Birthday Festival in the past, but this year Ji Zhun didn't want to be in the limelight.

Mother Xue beside Ning is an old man, and when she heard Ning talking about royal affairs, she glanced at the big maid Green Lotus who was waiting on the side, and Green Lotus understood and quietly took the maids in the house down.

Ji Zhun said: "It's not a rare treasure, my granddaughter sent someone to find the jade on Fang Shui's head, and asked the craftsman to carve the "Nine Elders of Xiangshan". ”

Ning was a little surprised, and exchanged glances with Cui beside him. Cui's was also quite surprised, in the past, Ji Zhun always tried to buy birthday gifts, how could it be so simple this year.

Cui Shi pulled Ji Zhun and said: "The birthday gift given by Sister Heng is also a part of the heart of the Guogong Mansion, and it can be used with silver taels from the public school." ”

Ji Zhun heard the sound of the strings and knew the elegance, and understood that Cui's was afraid that she would not be rich in hand to buy such a simple and birthday gift.

Ji Zhun smiled and said to his grandmother and uncle: "These days for the eldest prince to revise, the granddaughter privately thinks that she understands some truth, congratulations to the longevity of Guicheng, everything from the heart, I feel that the jade carving of "Xiangshan Nine Elders" is very good, I hope that the queen mother is healthy and longevity, just in line with the beauty of the birthday." ”

When the two saw Ji Zhun say this, they didn't say anything more. Ning looked at the candlelight, Ji Zhun's heroic face actually softened, he didn't feel his heart tremble, and couldn't help but say out loud: "Sister Heng, what do you think of the eldest prince?" ”

Ji Zhun didn't know why her grandmother asked this, she looked up at her grandmother's twisting Bodhi, and said slowly: "Your Majesty is the true dragon prince, and the princes are naturally good." ”

Seeing Ji Zhun's vague answer, Ning said again: "What's good?" How? Grandmother wants to know what you think. ”

Originally, she was going to talk about family life, but she didn't expect to talk about the head of Tianhuang nobles, Cui Shi hurriedly got up and guarded the window in person, since the incident of Gong Liuzi, she has been extra cautious.

Ji Zhun looked up at Ning's still kind and kind face, but in her heart she also knew the intention of her grandmother's question, and she replied: "Granddaughter feels, Your Majesty is the true dragon son of heaven, and all the children of the heavenly family are dragon sons and grandsons. The Ji family is fortunate to be able to follow the Lord with flesh and bones, which is already a mercy and gift from God. ”

Ning carefully observed Ji Zhun's every move, and saw that her expression was calm and her eyes were clear, knowing that she had no other thoughts, so he put his mind at ease.

Sister Heng can think like this, and grandmother will be relieved. The monarch and the ministers, the Ji family only guards the duties of the courtiers, eats the king's fortune, and is loyal to the king. Those candle-cutting west windows and southern red beans have nothing to do with my Ji family. After Ning finished speaking, he hugged Ji Hen beside him again, "Le Yin and Lu Xuan should also think the same." ”

Ji Zhun got up, Ji Ya and Ji Hen also stood up one after another, and bowed to the Ning clan, "Granddaughter obeys her grandmother's teachings." ”

In just a few words, the grandparents and grandchildren are already clear from the bottom of each other's hearts.

The reason why the Ning family asked this question just now was because Ji Zhun had been in contact with the likes of the eldest prince recently, and now Ji Zhun was not small, she was worried that Ji Zhun would be blinded by the glory and power, so she had the heart to mention Ji Zhun a few.

And Ji Zhun also guessed what her grandmother meant, so she made the royal dragon a dragon, the Ji family a mortal, and the immortal different, intending to tell her grandmother that she had no intention of being the royal daughter-in-law.

Cui Shi took the lead in opening the conversation: "Mother, Sister Heng attended the royal birthday banquet, and the daughter-in-law thought that she had to make a new dress and hairpin ring for Sister Heng." ”
