Chapter 572: Rumors in the House
Ji Yanning is not a willful person, he picked up the rain under the corridor for a while and played a little, and then went back to the house.
Ziyu hurriedly handed over the handkerchief and wiped her hands for the young lady.
The rain was not light, and even her clothes were splashed a lot, so she had to change into another set of dry clothes.
It's just that what I didn't expect was that Ji Yanning was just playing with the rain for a while, but he was a little hot on the second day.
Ji Yanning raised his hand and probed his forehead, couldn't help frowning, and said to Ziyu: "Actually, it's okay." ”
"Miss, don't be willful. Ziyu was about to be laughed at by her, "The slave has already asked Pearl to boil medicine for you, and you must drink the medicine later." ”
Ji Yanning didn't refute, after all, her body was her own, and it would be bad if she didn't drink medicine and continue to have a fever, but she didn't think it was because of playing in the water yesterday, after all, she wasn't so delicate.
While he was talking, Pearl had already come over with a medicine bowl, and it was still steaming.
The rain had stopped early this morning, but I could still feel the chill.
Ji Yanning let the decoction dry for a while, feeling that it was almost not hot, then he picked up the bowl, raised his head and drank two large sips, and then put down the bowl, but there was still a lot of medicinal juice in the bowl.
Pearl said, "Miss has to drink it all to get better." ”
Ji Yanning waved his hand and said, "No need, I know my own body very well." ”
Ziyu, who was on the side, took out the candied fruit and couldn't help but joke: "Miss, this is only afraid of bitterness." ”
Ji Yanning was exposed by Ziyu, but he was not annoyed, and picked up two pieces of candied fruit and stuffed them into his mouth.
Pearl said: "The rain that fell yesterday only stopped this morning, and the ground is still wet, but just now I saw Third Young Master Liu go out, but he was very diligent." ”
Ji Yanning heard Pearl talk about Liu Changyuan, but he just responded lightly: "Xu is third cousin has something to deal with." ”
Ziyu said: "I heard that the third young master seems to be about to get married, and it seems that he is the daughter of Yushitai Zeng Yushi. ”
Hearing Ziyu's words, Ji Yanning couldn't help frowning.
"Where did you hear that?" asked Ji Yanning.
After all, she hadn't heard An talk about it, and the two sides hadn't settled down yet, so how could this suddenly spread?
Ziyu said: "I also heard a maid in the big kitchen say, when I went over before, I happened to hear a few maids talking about it. ”
Ji Yanning always felt that something was wrong, An's had always done things safely, if it was not confirmed, how could he let the maid chew the root of his tongue?
Ziyu looked at her young lady's face with a somewhat solemn appearance, and couldn't help asking, "Miss, did the slave say the wrong thing?"
Ji Yanning shook his head and said, "I'll go to my aunt's." ”
It was still a little cold outside, and the wind was not small, Ziyu hurriedly found a light blue cloak and put it on Ji Yanning, and then followed her to An's courtyard.
Ji Yanning was a little feverish, and her body was also a little uncomfortable, and the cool breeze hit her face, and she always felt inexplicably tired.
Hearing Ji Yanning coming, An was a little surprised, at this time she was looking at the account books and arrangements of the Liu family in the courtyard.
Seeing Ji Yanning walk into the room, she put the account book in her hand aside, got up and said, "It's a little muddy on the road, why are you here now?"
Ji Yanning stepped forward with a smile and said, "If you want to see your aunt, you will come over, but it is just a few steps." ”
Listening to Ji Yanning's words, An Shi felt a little warm in his heart, and said, "Just come over to talk to my aunt." ”
She said and told the maid to go down and prepare tea, as well as Ji Yanning's favorite pastries.
After walking for a while, Ji Yanning felt a little hot, so he took off his cloak and handed it to Ziyu next to him, and then sat down next to An's side.
Only then did An Shi see that Ji Yanning's face was a little bad: "Your face is so bad, what's wrong?"
As she spoke, she stretched out her hand to probe Ji Yanning's forehead, and then exclaimed, "You kid, don't you know that you have a fever?"
Ji Yanning smiled and comforted her and said, "It's okay, aunt don't worry, I have already drunk medicine just now." ”
"You know it's not good to rest in your room when you're hot, and you're running around. An said, "I don't care about my body!"
Ji Yanning couldn't cry or laugh, and said: "It's just a few steps, there's really nothing, I'm not so delicate." ”
The maid beside An brought the tea and pastries and put them on the table.
Ji Yanning took a sip of tea gently, and then she felt a little better, and she said to An Shi: "I saw the third cousin going out in a hurry in the morning, where is he going?"
An Shi said: "You haven't told me about your cousin, how will I know." They're not young, and I can't take care of everything. ”
Ji Yanning nodded when he heard An Shi say this, and then followed the words: "Indeed, the third cousin should be admitted to the Jinshi next year, has my aunt set a family affair for him?"
Hearing Ji Yanning ask like this, An's was a little strange, Ji Yanning would not take the initiative to ask about the affairs of the Liu family on weekdays, most of the time it was something she said, and she would come up with some ideas.
But she didn't care much, just said: "I'm still looking at him, always looking for a girl with a better personality." ”
Ji Yanning said: "Ah, then how did I hear that the maid is rumoring that the third cousin is going to marry the girl of the Zeng Yushi family?"
When An heard Ji Yanning's words, he couldn't help frowning and said, "Where did the words come from?"
Ji Yanning looked back at Ziyu.
Ziyu stepped forward and said, "The slaves and maids heard from the maids in the big kitchen, and they also said that they heard it from the people in the courtyard of their uncle's wife, so they spread it like this." ”
When An Shi heard this, his brows furrowed even deeper: "There are still such rumors in this house, it seems that I am really too loose." ”
Ji Yanning said: "Uncle thinks that this is who is spreading the news, if it really spreads, I am afraid that it will ruin the reputation of my cousin and Miss Zeng, and it is also spread from the Liu family, it will be even more terrible." ”
Before the eight words were written, rumors began to spread.
An shook his head and said: "This is waiting for your third cousin to come back, maybe it is not impossible for him and Miss Zeng to meet in private, if it is really a happy relationship, naturally you can go to propose." ”
Ji Yanning nodded, but she still felt that there was something strange about this matter in her heart.
After all, the An family is in charge of the Liu family on weekdays, and such gossip is only a few maids to talk about it in private, who dares to say such unfounded things in such an open and honest manner?
It's just that I don't have a clue yet, so I'll just leave it to An's to investigate.
