After listening to what Ji Yanning said, the county lord of Ren'an and the second lady were already speechless in surprise.

Ji Yanning said: "I have already said what I can say, my cousin is still waiting for me at the gate of the house, and the juniors will retire first." ”

She wanted to bow and leave, only to hear the Lord of Ren'an ask, "How did you know?"

Ji Yanning is not timid: "I know some herbs, just now when I went to see the little boy with my aunt, I smelled the smell of refreshing medicinal materials on the maid on the side, so I guessed from this, I am not very sure, but I am an outsider, naturally it is not easy to check whether it is true, but it is about the little son, and the younger generation still feels that it should be mentioned to the county lord." ”

"What if you're wrong?" asked the second lady.

Ji Yanning listened to the words of the second lady, suddenly lowered her head, and did not answer immediately.

Seeing her like this, the second lady suddenly realized her fast-talking, she smiled bitterly, and said apologetically: "Thank you Miss Ji for your kindness, if you guess wrong, the child is well, and it is naturally a good thing for everyone to be happy." ”

I'm afraid that Ji Yanning will talk about it to them with eight or nine times of the certainty, if not, how could she come to do such a disgusting thing, even if she really guessed wrong, she did such a thing out of good intentions, what reason does the second lady have to accuse her?

Mrs. Ann looked at the little girl in front of her, and suddenly felt more similar to the child of the Ying family.

The child was very familiar with all kinds of herbs, and when she was young, she followed her grandfather in and out of the Tai Hospital, and she could distinguish most of the medicinal materials by taste alone.

But she wasn't that kid after all.

"Mother, I'll go see the child first. Regardless of whether what Ji Yanning said was true or not, she couldn't sit still now and wanted to find out the matter first.

The county lord of Ren'an said: "Don't startle the snake before you find out." ”

"Daughter-in-law provincial. The second lady saluted and withdrew.

The remaining Lord of Ren'an and Ji Yanning looked at each other.

"Son, come forward. Lord Ren'an said.

Ji Yanning raised his head, although he was a little puzzled, he still stepped forward respectfully.

Lord Ren'an took off a crescent-shaped jade pendant from his waist, took her hand, and placed it between her palms.

"If you want to see me in the future, with this jade pendant, the people in the house will not stop you. Lord Ren'an said.

Ji Yanning was slightly surprised, she hurriedly shirked and said, "This jade pendant is so valuable, the younger generation deserves it." ”

She naturally recognized this jade pendant, which was given to the county lord by Emperor Taizu.

Lord Ren'an smiled and said, "It's okay, the old body is old, and it's useless to keep these things for people who have half of their bodies in the ground." It's rare to meet a child who fits your eyes, and if you don't send it, you can take it to the soil?"

Ji Yanning lowered her head, not knowing what to say, maybe she didn't hide it well, and the county lord of Ren'an saw some clues, and regarded her as someone similar to her in her previous life.

She knelt down and saluted solemnly: "Thank you, Lord County." ”

Lord Ren'an helped her up: "As long as you remember to come to see me often, I will be satisfied." ”

Ji Yanning bowed: "The county lord doesn't bother me." ”

"Okay, didn't you say your cousin was waiting? "The main road of Ren'an County.

Ji Yanning bowed slightly and retreated.

Walking out of the courtyard of the county lord of Ren'an, she clenched the jade pendant in her hand, and felt a little warm.

"Yan Ning. Seeing Ji Yanning and Ziyu, Liu Changqing, who was waiting at the door, stepped forward and asked, "Mother sent a message to me to accompany you back, are you okay?"

Ji Yanning shook his head and said, "It's just that I'm too tired and want to go back and rest." I just went to thank the county lord for saying goodbye, so I came a little late. ”

Liu Changqing saw that her face was really bad, and said, "It's okay, the weather is cold, I should go back early." ”

They walked towards their carriage, but before they could get inside, they heard someone calling out to her from behind.

"Miss Ji stays!"

Ji Yanning turned around and saw Murong Yixue coming in their direction.

Murong Yixue was wearing a goose-yellow long jacket and a light blue robe, making her skin look fairer and brighter, but the cold temperament in her eyes also made people feel a hint of alienation, she was indeed a beauty.

Murong Yixue stepped forward, saw Liu Changqing on the side, bowed his head, turned to Ji Yanning and said, "Miss Ji, we can be regarded as acquaintances." ”

"Sort of, so Miss Murong, what's going on?" Ji Yanning asked.

She and Murong Yixue didn't have a good time meeting twice, and she didn't believe that Murong Yixue could do anything good to find her.

Murong Yixue handed over an invitation and said, "In seven days, it will be my ceremony, if Miss Ji is free, she might as well come to Zuo Xiang's Mansion as a guest." ”

Unexpectedly, she was invited to go to the ceremony, but Ji Yanning was a little surprised.

Ji Yanning didn't reach out to pick up the invitation handed over by Murong Yixue, but said: "It's really unfortunate, I have already asked Miss Yuan from General Weiyuan's Mansion to attend her ceremony seven days later, but I didn't expect that Miss Murong was also born on the same day as her, it's a pity." ”

Murong Yixue was slightly stunned, she didn't expect Ji Yanning to refuse her.

After all, Ji Yanning was born in a merchant, and being able to enter and leave the first-class Xiangye's mansion is definitely a great honor for her.

As for the Weiyuan General's Mansion, she also knew that Miss Yuan had a ceremony on the same day as her, but she had never taken the people of the Yuan Mansion into account.

There is only one old and one young left in the Yuan family, all of whom are women, and now there is no one in the general's mansion in the court, but it is only by relying on the shadow of the old general that they can survive, how can it be compared with the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion that now holds great power?

As long as you have a little brain, you will know how to stand.

However, Ji Yanning refused her invitation for the sake of Yuan Jiaojiao of the Yuan Mansion!

Murong Yixue's face could not hide her anger, but she only regained her indifference for a moment, she smiled in her eyes, and asked, "I am sincerely invited, could it be that Miss Yuan is also Miss Ji who was personally invited?"

These words are demeaning Ji Yanning, she was kind enough to invite her personally, but she was refused, and she really didn't know how to lift up.

"It wasn't Miss Yuan who invited it, but Mrs. Yuan personally invited it. Ji Yanning's eyes flashed slightly, and then he smiled: "As a junior, naturally you can't save the face of your elders for the sake of other latecomers." “

Murong Yixue's eyes were a little dark, and the post in her hand looked particularly embarrassing.

Obviously she was kind enough to give her the opportunity to make friends with herself, but she embarrassed herself like this.

She took the post back, handed it back to the maid to continue, and her tone was already cold: "Since Miss Ji disdains it, I naturally don't force it." ”

Ji Yanning had a smile in his eyes, and the corners of his eyes were crooked: "Miss Murong is really exalting me, I'm just a businesswoman, and I am dispensable in terms of Miss Murong's etiquette, but you want me to give up going to the Yuan family like this today, could it be because there is some involvement between Murong Mansion and Yuan Mansion?"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Murong Yixue scolded softly, "I didn't mean that!"

She and Yuan Jiaojiao held a ceremony on the same day, and there were many things to talk about in the family, although she felt that the decline of Yuan Mansion was not as good as that of Murong Mansion, but if this kind of provocative words were spread, their Murong Mansion would inevitably end up with a mean reputation.

The Yuan Mansion is a meritorious family, and has made countless contributions to the Great Wei, if it makes people feel that their Murong Mansion treats the Yuan family like this, even the guests who are polite have to dig a foot, I am afraid that they will offend many generals.

Liu Changqing, who was next to him, couldn't help but cough lightly when he heard the words of his cousin and Murong Yixue, and interjected: "Miss Murong, when the time comes, our Liu Mansion will definitely prepare a thin gift." ”

Murong Yixue didn't answer, she didn't want to have too much to do with Ji Yanning anymore, so she turned around and left with a slight bow at Liu Changqing.

Ji Yanning's face was as usual, and he also turned around and stepped on the low stool into the carriage.

Liu Changqing sighed lightly and immediately followed.

The carriage slowly headed towards Liufu.

"My cousin seems to have a disagreement with Murong Yixue. Liu Changqing asked, looking at the attitudes of Ji Yanning and Murong Yixue, he knew that they should have been a little unhappy before, and couldn't help but ask tentatively, "It won't be because of the servant girl before you, right?"

Liu Changqing had seen Yuan Jiaojiao when he was in Jiangzhou, and he also knew that Yuan Jiaojiao and Murong Yixue looked very similar, so he would naturally guess this layer.

Ji Yanning couldn't tell Liu Changqing Yuan Jiaojiao's identity now, but just told him about the encounter between Murong Yixue and the fifth princess on the street at that time.

Liu Changqing heard his father talk about this incident, and the little maid in the family came back to report that Ji Yanning had provoked the fifth princess and was arrested by Li Xiaoyun and taken to the prison of the patrol camp, but at that time she came back safely, but she didn't dig deeper, but she didn't expect her cousin and Murong Yixue to get married at that time.

He said: "In this case, don't provoke her in the future." ”

Ji Yanning bowed slightly, and he didn't know if he listened to Liu Changqing's words.

With Yuan Jiaojiao here, it seems impossible not to provoke.

Murong Yixue also returned home early, holding back a lot of anger.

She knew that the third prince had come to the county lord's mansion, so she also came on purpose, but she didn't expect that the third prince didn't want to see her at all, and even ignored her, so she was naturally annoyed in her heart.

But she also knew that among the emperor's princes, the three princes were the most outstanding, but she couldn't speak now.

Since taking over this identity, she has not felt at peace for a day, because she is afraid that that person is not dead, and she is afraid that one day that person will come back and take away everything she has now, so she desperately learns piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so that she can become better and become a dazzling existence.

Only such a self will not be replaced by others!

Even if that person comes back one day, she can't compare to her outstanding self, and her parents and brother will definitely not choose her!
