When Ji Zhun arrived, Mother Xue was serving her grandmother to drink tonic soup that nourished qi and blood.

Seeing that it was his granddaughter who came, Ning pushed the remaining half bowl of tonic soup back into Xue's mother's hand, and said, "Look, Sister Heng'er is here, let's save this bowl of soup today." ”

Mother Xue looked at her disapprovingly: "If you don't drink Ming'er today, the effect of the medicine should be gone." ”

Ning looked at Ji Zhun pleadingly

Ji Zhun remembered that his grandmother's body and bones had always been healthy in his previous life, and it would be okay if he didn't drink it, and it was a three-point poison, so he said to Mother Xue: "I see that my grandmother's complexion is getting better and better, and I think that this decoction is indeed effective, but the tonic is also medicine, and it is not good to eat too much." Physical and mental well-being is the right thing to do. ”

Seeing that Ji Zhun said so, and seeing Ning's dodge, Xue's mother smiled bitterly, took down the medicine cup, and gave the two of them the clouds of Lushan again.

Ji Zhun sat down, turned around and took the brocade box from Yao's mother's hand, and put it on the small table in front of Ning's family: "Grandmother, this is the jade carving of "Xiangshan Nine Elders" mentioned by my granddaughter before, and the shopkeeper on the shop sent it today, and I brought it to you to see, can you take a look?" ”

Ning Shi opened the brocade box, took out the jade carving and looked left and right, there was nothing wrong with the carving and polishing, she withdrew the jade bracelet on her wrist, and gently hit the jade carving, and there was a crisp and pleasant sound of jade.

"This jade is also a good jade, and there is nothing wrong with Sister Heng'er's congratulatory gift."

Ning put the jade back into the box, and Ji Zhun asked Yao's mother to send the things back to Tianxing Courtyard first, while he stayed to talk to his grandmother.

It wasn't until the time of the lantern that Ji Zhun led the maids back to the courtyard and hastily had dinner under the service of Qiyun.

The weather was hot, Ji Zhun ordered Yun to open the window sash to ventilate, and she herself held the book, read it by candlelight, and the incense burner of the Liujin Rui beast in the house burned a faint incense burner to repel mosquitoes.

Although her movements were reading a book, she kept thinking about things in her heart, and she was a little uneasy.

When she looked up, she saw the red curtain of begonias hanging in the house, and she felt even more depressed in her chest, and she couldn't explain it clearly. Ji Zhun sighed and called Yao's mother: "Mom, please go to the warehouse to find out if there is a refreshing tent, and quickly change it." ”

Now that they are all in charge of the lamp, the young lady still has to change the curtain, Yao's mother looked up at Ji Zhun, but when she saw her depressed expression, she didn't say much, turned around and beckoned the little maid to go to the warehouse.

After a while, he brought a set of lake-blue gauze curtains and curtains, and Ji Zhun also knew that now was not the time to do this, so he said to Yao's mother: "It's getting late, let's change the west and west first." ”

She herself got up and avoided the eastern jima, so as not to get in the way of their work.

Ji Zhun didn't ask anyone to serve her, only lit a dim candle on the desk, and she lay on the couch by the window in the east room. The window is half open, Ji Zhun looks at it sideways, the night breeze is blowing, and the galaxy is Hanhan. I heard the sound of the maids tearing down the curtains. Thinking of Li Ruicheng's reply this morning.

She has been worrying about this matter today, all the clues will be broken when they get to the Xi family, and Xi Wenlin has nothing else happened except for visiting the Thin Horse Mansion once. For today's plan, she can only work Xi Nianyao.

She was thinking to herself when she heard the chatter of the maids over there.

I only heard a maid say: "This set of lake blue dark flowers and cloud satin tents is really beautiful, the candlelight is so flickering, golden scales." ”

Another maid also replied: "Yes, our young lady's things are really good, this curtain hangs, and when I look at it from a distance, I don't look worse than the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea." ”

Ji Zhun laughed after hearing this, and lowered the curtain......

Ji Zhun suddenly thought of something, sat up from the couch abruptly, and lowered the curtain! Hang down the curtain and you'll be in the Dragon Palace!

Ji Zhun turned over and got out of the house, and walked quickly to the west room, and the maids who were picking up in the west room saw the young lady coming in, and they hurriedly stopped talking.

The house was almost cleaned up, and Ji Zhun said to Yao's mother: "It's almost changed, let's get here here today, mom, you take them down first, everyone will be rewarded." ”

Yao's mother took the order, and the little maids happily followed Yao's mother and left, leaving only the moon and them in the house to serve.

Ji Zhun said to Zhaoyue: "You go back tomorrow morning and find your brother, I have something to explain to him." ”

Early in the morning of the second day, Li Ruicheng got the letter and knew that Ji Zhun was in a hurry, so he followed Zhaoyue and went straight to Tianxing Courtyard. Ji Zhun was sitting in the study waiting for him.

"Miss, are you looking for me urgently?" Li Ruicheng clasped his fists and saluted.

"Brother Li, I was thinking of something, I remember you said yesterday that there are many sedan chairs in and out of the Slender Horse Mansion."

"Yes, miss, the mansion is not small, and there are many sedan chairs that usually enter and exit."

"Then what are the signs on these palanquins, or the emblems of each family?"

Li Ruicheng shook his head: "It's all an ordinary soft sedan chair, Miss thinks it's ......"

Ji Zhun nodded: "The sedan curtain is down, no one knows who is entering this thin horse mansion, I'm afraid they are under the cover of Yangzhou thin horse, that Xi Wenlin has already met behind the scenes, right under our noses." ”

After listening to this, Li Ruicheng also felt that there was indeed such a possibility, and there were many sedan chairs coming and going in this mansion that day. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case, and hurriedly got up: "Miss, it is a dereliction of duty, and it is not good to do things in the future." ”

Ji Zhun waved his hand: "It's not your fault, it's strange if they are so easy to be caught." Now the good thing is that we know that they may have had a joint, instead of abandoning the Xi family, which is easy to do. As long as he keeps an eye on the Xi family, the person behind him, even if he is a fox, will always show his tail. Do you remember where the mansion where the skinny horses were raised? ”

Li Ruicheng nodded: "Remember, it's in Xiaoshiqiao Hutong, and there is a red lantern at the door." ”

"I have to work hard for my eldest brother to go and find out who opened this mansion. In addition, inquire again, what does Xi Nianyao, the third lady of the Xi family, usually do? What banquets are you going to attend recently? Ji Zhun said.

Li Ruicheng has gradually developed his own network, and it is not too difficult to inquire about these things.

Li Ruicheng said goodbye and left, and set about to do it.

After some time, the palace issued an edict to invite Ji Zhun, the daughter of the head of the British government, to participate in the Holy Birthday Festival, because of the heavy number of people invited on the Holy Birthday Festival, generally only one or two people are invited to the house, Ji Yaji does not have to attend, and Cui's two daughters are also happy not to go, but she is not at ease Ji Zhun, and she personally went to Tianxing Courtyard when she held the lamp.

A little maid and the second lady came, Ji Zhun put down the book, got up and went out, took Cui's hand, and sat on the couch.

Cui Shi first looked around the house, and the curtains and curtains in Ji Zhun's house were replaced with dark flowers and cloud satin of lake blue, and there were still new melons and fruits in the ice jian.

"Sister Heng's brocade tent is good for me, and it's refreshing to look at." Cui said.

Ji Zhun stared at the brocade curtain curtain and smiled: "It's indeed a good account, help me solve my doubts." ”

"Huh?" Cui didn't understand Ji Zhun's words.

Ji Zhun knew that he was speechless, and hurriedly changed the topic and said, "What is the matter with my uncle coming to me?" ”
