Chapter 12: Cousin
Ji Zhun turned around and walked quickly to the bed.
Ji Ya slowly stretched out his right hand, and at the palm of his palm was a dark blue woven gold cloud brocade.
"What is this?" Ji Zhun was puzzled.
"It's... The clothes of the man who hit me were ripped off by the man's body before I fell into the water. ”
Ji Zhun looked at Ji Ya, who was still very weak at this time. But after falling into the water for so long, she still clung to the fabric. is worthy of being the daughter of their Ji family, no matter how weak she is, she is still stubborn in her bones.
Ji Zhun took the pieces of clothing and gently held Ji Ya's hand in his palm.
"Leyin, don't worry, take a good rest, the eldest sister will help you deal with it." tucked the corners of the quilt for Ji Ya again.
At this time, the star probed her brain outside the door, and Ji Zhun saw it, got up and asked her what was going on.
There was also an eight or nine-year-old little maid behind the star, and the star god mysteriously pulled Ji Zhun aside and whispered a few words. He beckoned the little maid over again, and took two milk rhombic cakes and put them in her hands.
"This is my young lady, she is fine, you don't have to be afraid, tell my young lady what you just told me."
The little maid saw that Ji Zhun had a calm face and was not impatient at all, so she choked up and spoke.
"Miss Hui, the slave maid's name is Xiaoling, and she is the sprinkler of the flower room, because there is a banquet in the house today, and the slave and maid are sent to the garden to wait. The slave maid was assigned to the pavilion by the lake.
When the slave maid was on duty, a pair of young masters and young ladies came, and because of the small size of the slave and maid, they did not notice me. I heard the young lady in the goose-yellow jacket say to the young master, 'Cousin, she came with her sister today, and she is wearing narcissus crepe silk flowers on her head, don't be mistaken.
And then...... The two of them pulled and pulled again, and I was about to remind him, but the young lady gave the young master a handkerchief, and the two left one after another.
I just saw the young lady who fell into the water...... On his head he wore a daffodil crepe silk flower. I was scared, so I wanted to come and see it, and I didn't want to be bumped into by this sister. Saying that, Xiaoling looked at the star.
Xiaoling continued: "I don't know what happened to that young lady, I feel that I have derelicted my duty, I caused her to fall into the water......" After speaking, she sobbed quietly again.
Ji Zhun comforted her with a few words, "It's okay, that young lady is fine." But don't say these things to outsiders again, so as not to get yourself into trouble. Then he glanced at the star, and it was needless to say how the star comforted Xiaoling.
Ji Zhun turned to leave, after listening to Xiaoling's words, the corners of her forehead began to jump suddenly, she felt that this scene was very familiar, wasn't it the scene that the three sisters saw when they were in the shade of the lake!
Ji Zhun said to the moon beside him, "Go and see, which lady is wearing a goose yellow jacket skirt today." ”
Ji Zhun personally took someone to find the green lotus beside his grandmother, and explained a few words to the green lotus, and the green lotus went into the house again and whispered in Ning's ear: "The eldest lady said that something is wrong. ”
Old Madam Ning was going to stay for a while before leaving, but now after listening to Lu He's words, she sat down and drank tea quietly.
Old Madam Ning naturally understood what Ji Zhun meant, she also came from her daughter's house and knew all kinds of tricks in this backyard.
But she is not easy to come forward, since Ji Zhun has found out the clue, then she is waiting for Ji Zhun to find out the murderer who killed her granddaughter in the water.
On the other side, Zhao Yue also came back to report to Ji Zhun that there were several young ladies wearing goose yellow jacket skirts.
When she said that Yu Wanwan, the deputy envoy of the General Political Envoy Department, was the young lady of Lord Yu's family, Ji Zhun frowned.
This Yu Wanwan is none other than He Er's cousin. Ji Zhun had contacted her a few times in his previous life, and she was a little arrogant.
Ji Zhun instructed Zhaoyue, "You go and inquire again, this Yu Wanwan has any cousin in Beijing besides the He family, did you attend today." ”
Summoning the moon left like another gust of wind, and it took a long time before he came back sweating profusely.
When he came back, he was pleasantly surprised and said, "Miss, you guessed so accurately!" I thought it was inconvenient for the outer court to inquire, so I went to the carriage of our house, thinking that I would ask the coachman and the servant who accompanied me to inquire.
Who would have thought that as soon as I finished talking to the coachman, the coachman said that there was such a person. Because they were often accompanied by the chauffeurs at all kinds of banquets, and they knew each other well, there was a chauffeur who had a face today, and they began to talk with the chauffeur.
The coachman said that their main family was Yufu's cousin, surnamed Qian, and his father was an official from other provinces, so he took his family back to Beijing to report on his work. It was the lady and the eldest young master of their house who attended the flower party today, and the young master's name was Qian Sheng. ”
Ji Zhun nodded, and pushed the teacup in his hand to Zhaoyue, "Drink saliva and rest, you are also tired today." ”
Then he summoned the star who coaxed Xiaoling, whispered a few words to the star, and the star's dark eyes rolled, and then ran away with a wicked smile.
After the star left, Brigadier Ji handed over the piece of clothing that Ji Ya had just given her to Zhaoyue, and also explained a few words to Zhaoyue.
Calling the moon and hiding in the crowd with clothes and fabrics, Ji Zhun sat for a moment before getting up and walking to the lake where Ji Ya fell into the water.
At this time, the young masters and young ladies who were still gathered by the lake to watch the excitement did not leave, and when they saw that the young lady who had just saved people was going and returning, she had changed into a crimson round-necked robe with a sapphire leather belt at her waist. The forehead is covered with a two-finger-wide net scarf, and the strap of the rope is decorated with white jade beads.
Everyone's eyes were attracted by Ji Zhun, but they saw Ji Zhun walking around by the wooden bridge with his head down, as if looking for something.
Ji Zhun took off a piece of clothing from a crack in wood by the bridge in full view of everyone.
Finally, a bold girl stepped forward, greeted Ji Zhun, and asked Ji Zhun if he needed help.
Ji Zhun hurriedly took out the piece of clothing and asked the young lady if she had seen it?
The other ladies heard the conversation between the two and came up to see the garment. At first glance, this clothing is the dark blue color used in men's clothing. The ladies shook their heads and said they hadn't seen it.
Ji Zhun said with a sad expression, "This cloth is the one who hit my sister and fell into the water." I, the eldest sister, can't get justice for her. ”
When the young ladies saw Ji Zhun's slightly heroic face, they couldn't help but be a little stunned at this time.
And when Ji Zhun was talking to the young ladies, his eyes were quietly aimed at Yu Wanwan. She saw that Yu Wanwan's expression was extremely unnatural when she saw her, especially when she saw the clothes she was holding, she showed a panicked look.
Ji Zhun was a little more determined in his heart, and at this time, a young lady who was familiar with Yu Wanwan greeted Yu Wanwan and said, "Wanwan, you can also come and take a look." ”
Yu Wanwan was startled, and hurriedly pretended to be calm and walked to Ji Zhun's side to look at the fabric.
Yu Wanwan pretended to look at the fabric, Ji Zhun suddenly turned his hand and clamped Yu Wanwan's wrist, Yu Wanwan was frightened by her move and exclaimed.
Ji Zhun smiled gently: "Miss Yu don't have to be afraid, I just want to ask you if you have ever seen someone who wears this material?" ”
Yu Wanwan only felt that Ji Zhun's hand clamping her seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, so she couldn't break free, she stiffened her head and said to Ji Zhun hastily: "No." ”
Ji Zhun didn't let go of her, leaned sideways against Yu Wanwan, lowered his voice and said to her, "Cousin Qian doesn't have it either?" ”
"What?" It didn't mean that Wanwan reacted, Ji Zhun suddenly let go of Yu Wanwan's hand again.
When the young lady from the Yongxing Bofu on the side saw it, she advised Ji Zhun: "Ah Zhun, don't be too sad, this matter involving the men in the outer courtyard can't be verified one by one." Several other nobles also persuaded her.
Ji Zhun sighed and said, "That's the case, if only God could send that bad guy to me." With that, he blinked again, as if he was about to weep.
Seeing that Ji Zhun was such an outstanding person, all the young ladies took out their handkerchiefs one after another, ready to wipe Ji Zhun from tears.
At this moment, I suddenly heard a man's shout from behind me: "Don't bully my cousin!" My cousin's daughter is good! I've got her embroidered handkerchief here! My cousin must be the first! ”
All the young ladies were stunned, not knowing what the words of the fat black boy who came forward meant.
What cousins, female reds, handkerchiefs, where are they?
Ji Zhun, who was standing on the side, suddenly let out a low voice, looked at the fabric in his hand and looked at the young man's robe, and then looked at the robe.
All the young ladies followed Ji Zhun's gaze and saw clearly, the robe worn by this young man and the fabric were clearly from the same cloth.
All the noble ladies stared at the young master of the Qian family, Qian Sheng.
