Chapter 3 Incense

Later, when the Ning family became pregnant again and gave birth to her second son, Ji Yuanxing, the British Duke was very careful to cultivate.

It's a pity that her uncle Ji Yuanxing died on the battlefield in his twenties.

The British government has never established an heir.

It stands to reason that it is time to let the epoch inherit, but the British can't do this, the epoch is just a weak scholar, how to gain a foothold in the circle of military generals? What should Ji Jiajun do at that time? The final way out can only be absorbed by other armies, and the generals have their own staff and factions, and the embarrassing existence of Ji Jiajun can only be hidden in the end. The soldiers have been fighting all their lives, and in the end, I am afraid that they will not get the rewards they deserve.

The British Duke was worried about this until he discovered Ji Zhun's ability.

In his previous life, whether Ji Zhun was a flying eagle or a man dressed as a woman and messed with Xiao Langjun, the British public did not stop him.

He found that Ji Zhun was a good seedling for martial arts, quite talented, and had a lot of ghost ideas, so he cultivated it well, and he might be able to provoke the pillars of the British government.

So the day before Ji Zhun was fifteen years old and Xu, her grandfather called her to the study.

The British Duke sat on the Taishi's chair behind the bookcase, and explained his plans and plates.

At that time, Ji Zhun had already been bewitched, and his mind was full of his own glory and his husband and godson.

Crying and rushing into the palace, relying on the Queen Mother's love for her, she cried with the Queen Mother that she didn't want to be a female grandfather.

The queen mother comforted her, and on the second day she made a decree in the palace to canonize her as the county lord of Qiongning.

She was in the circle of nobles in Beijing for a while.

There was a crackling sound in the carbon basin, Ji Zhun gathered his mind and sighed lightly, this is really a hair that affects the whole body, she never thought that her momentary negative anger back then would cause a tragedy in the Guogong Mansion.

Beside that, Who gave the mother's poison? Where did the British government's perjury of treason come from? Who are the so-called witnesses? What role does Duan Hongqing play here?

Ji Zhun has too many questions. She picked up a walnut from the dried fruit box on the table and played with it in her hand.

In terms of the current situation, she has to set up her chess before everything happens. Internally, she has to find a way to find a hidden traitor in the British Mansion. Externally, she wants to cultivate her own power, no matter how she is, she is now just a person in the inner house, and Ji Zhun needs someone to help her deal with some things that are inconvenient for her outside.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning was early.

Ji Zhun simply had breakfast, stood in front of the Duobao Pavilion between the east corners, and fiddled with jade antiques.

At this time, a little maid came to spread the word that Yao's mother was here.

Ji Zhun put down the carved jade building in his hand and asked the maid to invite people in. She turned around and sat down on the couch by the window.

After Yao's mother came in, she first asked Ji Zhun for peace. She wore a slightly new jacket today, her hair was carefully combed with shavings water, a plain silver hairpin was pressed on her sideburns, and she was holding a small burden in her hand.

Ji Zhun smiled and beckoned her to sit down, and another little maid offered pine nuts to make tea.

"I remember that my mother used to like this pine nut tea the most, this is the Huoshan yellow bud I got a few days ago, the pine nuts are newly made by me and the clouds, you can taste it."

Yao's mother seemed a little scared, but after taking a few sips, the fragrance of pine nuts and the taste of tea were combined, and there was a unique taste.

Yao's mother praised: "This yellow tea is the most beneficial to the spleen and stomach, the young lady's tea is good, and the girls' hands are also skillful." ”

Qiyun smiled and said that Yao's mother had won the award, and chatted with Yao's mother for a while about the production method of pine nuts.

Ji Jian listened with a smile on the side.

After Xu is chatted with the maids for a few words, Yao's mother also seemed to be a little relaxed, and Ji Zhun said: "I went to the Tinglan Pavilion yesterday to see, Zhuang's mother is really attentive, the Tinglan Pavilion is well taken care of, I see, there is no need for your help, mother." ”

Yao's mother listened to Ji Zhun's words, and raised her head suddenly, her face flushed with nervousness.

Ji Zhun smiled and patted Yao's mother's hand, "Mom, don't be nervous, I was thinking that you should also go back to Tianxing Academy." ”

Yao's mother half-opened her mouth and looked at Ji Zhun in a daze, and the cloud caller on the side had long known what Ji Zhun meant, and they all surrounded Yao's mother with a smile.

Qiyun said: "It's okay, now that my mother is back, someone can finally train the monkeys below." In the lower room of my mother's previous room, Zhuxing and Jinyang are taking people to pick it up. ”

Calling Yue also smiled and said: "Yesterday, Miss also gave a special instruction, let you bring the finished shoes together, and my mother will also open them, let's take a look." ”

Yao's mother looked at Ji Zhun embarrassedly, and when she saw that Ji Zhun also nodded, she opened the baggage, and there were eight or nine pairs of shoes neatly stacked inside, all of which were available in all seasons.

Ji Zhun picked up a pair of satin shoes embroidered with peony flowers, although the embroidery was not very delicate, but the soles were really good. She reached out and tried on the inside of the shoe, and sure enough, it was neat and comfortable.

Ji Zhun also quipped, "If I had Lao Mom, if I was wearing shoes made by my mother that day, I wouldn't have stepped on the stirrups unsteadily." ”

Everyone laughed for a while, and Yao's mother was led by the cloud and placed in the cage.

Early the next morning.

Yao's mother benefited from Ji Zhun and counted the warehouse.

Compared with the booklet from two years ago, it was re-registered for Ji Zhun to see.

There are a lot of treasures in Ji Zhun's warehouse, just the tribute-level pearls, there are as many as 12 hu, and the smaller pearls are countless.

Ji Zhun simply took out a box of small pearls and gave them to Yao's mother, asking her to sew a pair of embroidered shoes with pearls inlaid for herself.

I found two cloisonne gourds from the storeroom and replaced them with plum vases for flower arrangements in winter.

Although she has a lot of these things, there is not much in the shop's land, only dozens of acres of paddy fields, as well as two jewelry shops, a study shop and a restaurant.

Although they are all still profitable, there are too many such shops in the capital, and her shop's income is mediocre.

The main reason why these shops were given to her was to let her learn to read the account books and manage the accounts by herself.

She also has two younger sisters, they are both young ladies of the Ji family, and they all have to learn from the Lord.

After Ji Zhun read it, he gave the booklet to Yao's mother and asked her to keep it, and she would ask Yao's mother to help her take care of it in the future.

In the afternoon, her aunt brought two cousins to see her.

Ji Zhun's uncle, surnamed Cui, is called Ruxuan.

is now widowed, but the affairs of the house are handed over to this daughter-in-law.

Ji Zhun's mother Xue and uncle Cui are also gentle and good-natured, when Xue was still at home in the past, the two of them were in charge together, and everything was discussed and very harmonious.

And the three of their sisters are also lined up together, Ji Zhun is the eldest lady, Ji Ya and Ji Hen are the second and third misses respectively.

Ji Zhun invited Cui Shi to sit on the big kang near the window, and Cui Shi also pulled her to sit with him.

Ji Ya and Ji Hen greeted her, and the little maids served sweet water and candied fruit for a few people.

Cui Shi looked at Ji Zhun's legs and asked, "Sister Heng, how are you feeling now?" Have you taken all the medicines on time? ”

Ji Zhun smiled and listened to Cui's words, Cui's appearance is soft, and he is also very gentle, but there is always a little sadness between his eyebrows.

"Uncle and Aunt Lao are worried, the medicine has been taken on time, and the leg is not as painful as the previous two days." Ji Zhun replied.

"That's good, it's just a bone injury, you have to be careful and take care of it." Cui Shi said a few more words.

Ji Zhun should be ordered one by one.

Cui Shi saw that Ji Zhun was kind and pleasant today, but she still hesitated for a moment before pointing to Ji Ya and Ji Hen and said, "I'm afraid that Sister Heng'er will be bored by you, so I will call Leyin and Luxuan to relieve your boredom." ”

The music and the green swirl are the small characters of Ji Ya and Ji Hen.

Ji Zhun turned his head to look at his two younger sisters.

The two sat on the embroidery pier beside Cui's, a slightly older little girl, more than ten years old, with a goose egg face, two bent Qiu Niang eyebrows without painting, a pair of apricot eyes tender and gentle, red lips and teeth, walking everywhere like spring rain. It is Ji Ya, the second lady of the Ji family.

It's just that she is tilting her head now, and her eyes are red.

And the other little girl is Ji Female, she should be ten years old this year, the same goose egg face, the same apricot eyes, but this little girl has two crescent eyebrows, which makes her cute and cute, lively and lively.

She didn't turn her head, but glared at Ji Zhun with a pair of apricot eyes.

Cui Shi also saw the behavior of his two daughters. looked at Ji Zhun embarrassedly, and didn't know what to say for a while.

Ji Zhun was not angry, in her previous life, she always made things difficult for these two younger sisters, and until the accident in the Guogong Mansion, neither of them could get married. Speaking of which, these are all debts she owed in her previous life, and she has to pay them off herself.

Cui Shi sat on the side, his face embarrassed.

In fact, early this morning, the old lady called her to speak.

The old lady said to Cui's, "I look at it coldly, Sister Heng doesn't seem to be as domineering as usual." You have nothing to do on weekdays, so take the music and the green swirl to Tianxing Courtyard and walk around. ”

Although Cui Shi also felt sorry for her two daughters, she still agreed with the old lady's idea, she knew the truth of being prosperous and working with one heart and one mind.

But looking at today's situation, it is also a freezing three feet not a day's cold, and this matter is not something that can be facilitated by reluctance, and the bell must be tied to the bell.

She had to sit with her two daughters for a while and then left.

In the evening, after serving Ji Zhun for dinner, they began to get busy.

Tomorrow is the day to go to Jueguang Temple to make incense, the maid in the grandmother's courtyard said that this time to live in Jueguang Temple for two days, Yao's mother got the letter and began to direct the little girls to pick up.

Ji Jian sat on the big kang between the west pins and watched the excitement, Yao's mother was responsible for listing the things that needed to be brought, and Qiyun chose the style that Ji Zhun liked to use when he went out, and Summoning the Moon carefully calculated whether there was anything missing.

The younger maids were directed by the three of them to dripping around on the ground.

Ji Zhun felt funny, he only went to stay for two nights, why was there such a big battle. But I couldn't bear to disturb them when I saw their excited faces.

Finally, when he heard Yao's mother say that she wanted to bring the cedar bath barrel in the warehouse with her, Ji Zhun stopped it.

"Most of the pilgrims who go to Jueguang Temple to worship incense are the wives and ladies of the official families in Beijing. I brought so many things to the pure land of Buddhism, and it was inevitable that it would not be good to spread them, and it would inevitably seem that I was arrogant. ”

Yao's mother thought about it, it was also this reason, and together with Zhaoyue, she subtracted a few more things, so that everything could be considered in place.
