Ying'er identified Ji Yanning as her benefactor, Ji Yanning didn't want to dwell on this matter, and asked, "Is your grandfather's burial ready?"

"Hmm. Ying'er nodded, "Grandpa may never have imagined that it was his son who teamed up to kill him, and he is even worse than a beast!"

Later, after checking the facts, I found out that Ying'er's uncle was addicted to gambling and went to the casino to owe a large amount of debt, and the people in the casino said that if he couldn't get the money again, he would cut off his hand, and he wanted to take money from his father.

As a result, his father was furious when he found out, saying that he would pay off the debt he owed, and if he gave it to him, he was afraid that he would not even have a coffin, let alone Ying'er's dowry in the future.

Ying'er's uncle was scolded by his father and became angry, but he was afraid that the casino people would really cut off his hand, and when he saw his father drinking medicine, he secretly mixed rat poison into his medicine.

Unexpectedly, Ying'er's second uncle found out, and the uncle lied to him that his father only wanted to give all his money to Ying'er, and the two brothers couldn't get a penny, and said that if his father died of drinking medicine, he could also go to the medicine hall to make trouble and knock them out for a sum of money.

Her second uncle is also a heartless person, knowing that her father usually favors Ying'er, the money-loser, and actually agreed, so there is the rest of the matter.

After that day, the shopkeeper of Bao'an Hall went to the yamen to report to the official, and sure enough, he found out that the matter was not simple, and then directly detained the eldest uncle and the second uncle, who were beheaded for killing their father.

Ying'er's aunt and second aunt said that they didn't know about it, and they were released after they were twenty years old, but after they came out, they didn't like Ying'er even more, so they made all kinds of embarrassments and excluded her, and after she buried her grandfather, she left the village.

After listening to Ying'er's words, Ji Yanning nodded and said, "You are a girl's house, and you have left home, but there is a place to go?"

Ying'er said: "I am willing to sell myself to stay by Miss's side and serve Miss." ”

Ji Yanning said: "It's okay, stay by my side and be a personal maid in the future, but the rules still have to be learned from Zisu." ”

Ying'er nodded, and asked again: "The names of Sister Ziyu and Sister Zisu were taken by Miss, right? ”

Ji Yanning said: "Your voice is very good, let's call it Ying'er, the warbler of the yellow warbler, just the same as your original name, you don't need to be familiar with other names that others call you." ”

"Thank you, Miss. Ying'er kowtowed to Ji Yanning again.

Ji Yanning stepped forward to help her up and said, "Let's go and learn the rules from Zisu for a few days first, and when she thinks it's okay, stay and serve her closely." ”

Shisu and Ying'er responded with a "yes" in unison.

"By the way, can you sing songs?" Ji Yanning asked Ying'er.

Ying'er replied: "I know some mountain songs, all of which are sung with my grandfather, and I used to work with my grandfather, so in order to be less boring, I learned to sing some folk tunes with my grandfather." ”

Ji Yanning bowed, but didn't say anything, waved his hand and let the two of them go down.

Ziyu stepped forward to add tea to Ji Yanning, and asked puzzledly: "Miss, Ying'er just came here and let her be a first-class maid, is this okay?"

Ziyu grew up serving the eldest lady, and Zisu started from a second-class maid, and was valued by his wife as the first-class maid of the eldest lady.

If the young lady lacks a maid by her side, she can bring one from the second-class maid, but Ying'er is just a peasant girl who has sold herself, and she doesn't understand many things and rules.

Ji Yanning didn't take it to heart: "Ying'er is smart, don't worry." ”

Ziyu asked again, "What about the Sai girl, and if she comes, will she also be a first-class maid?"

Ji Yanning said: "Naturally not. She is the daughter of the shopkeeper, and she did not sell herself to me, so she can't generalize, she has read some books, and she can stay with me as a medicine apprentice, and she will be responsible for the affairs in the pharmacy in the future. I'll leave this matter to you, and teach her the rules by the way. ”

Ziyu nodded, but she had no objection to Ji Yanning's arrangement.

In this way, the four first-class maids around the young lady are all together, but it is a pity that the other subordinates who are still looking forward to being promoted to the first-class maids.

But after thinking about it, she also felt that Miss Ying'er and Miss Sai were indeed better than others.

Ji Yanning arranged Ying'er and went to the pharmacy, she promised to make an antidote to dark incense, so she would not break her promise.

"Miss. Ziyu reported outside the pharmacy, "The third master and the third lady asked to see each other. ”

Ji Yanning frowned slightly, and did not let go of the matter at hand, but said, "Let them wait in the side room first." ”

Ziyu answered yes and went to talk.

Ji Yanning put the prepared pills into a porcelain bottle, cleaned his hands with water, wiped them dry, and then left the pharmacy.

At this time, Ji Weisheng and Li had been waiting in the side room for a quarter of an hour, and when they saw her coming, their faces were very ugly.

Ji Yanning stepped forward, blessed them, and said, "I don't know what happened to the third uncle and third aunt looking for their niece?"

Ji Weisheng had a calm face, and his tone was a little angry: "Sister Ning, the Qingyun inkstone you gave to Sister Yun is fake!"

He presented the Qingyun inkstone to Lord Hu, the left attendant of the ministry, but Lord Hu not only did not give him a good face, but also ridiculed him for having no money and slapping his swollen face and becoming fat, and even sent an ordinary inkstone as Qingyun Yan.

At that time, he was stunned, he didn't know that the Qingyun inkstone was fake.

Not only did he not please him, but he also provoked the disgust of Lord Shilang, he really lost more than he gained! How can he have the face to say anything about promotion, just ask Lord Shilang if he doesn't remember him!

Listening to Ji Weisheng's words, Ji Yanning's face didn't have much ups and downs: "Fake is just fake, it's just an inkstone, and it can be used." ”

"You!" Ji Weisheng was so angry that his face turned blue, causing him to suffer such a big loss, and he didn't pay attention to her at all?

Seeing that her husband was angry like this, Li said: "Sister Ning, your third uncle was so badly harmed by you, he gave the fake inkstone to Lord Shilang, and now he is complaining." ”

"How can I be blamed for this?" Ji Yanning looked surprised, "When the fifth sister came over, she just said that she needed to use the inkstone for reading and writing, and she didn't say that she wanted to give the Qingyun inkstone to Lord Shilang!"

Li said angrily: "Then you shouldn't use fake things to fool your sister!"

Ji Yanning only thought it was funny: "Third aunt, you blame me, this inkstone was picked by the fifth sister herself, I don't believe you to ask her." ”

Li was stunned and asked, "How could it be that she picked it herself?"

Ziyu explained on the side: "Third lady, that day Miss Five came over and said that she wanted Qingyun Yan, but our Miss Yantai is really a bit much, and I can't remember which one is Qingyun Yan, so I asked Miss Wu to pick one she likes, and the inkstone that Miss Wu took away was her own choice." ”

Ji Yanning picked up the teacup and took a sip lightly, putting down the teacup.

She said: "My niece only said that the fifth sister wants to read and write, so she thinks that any inkstone is the same, how do you know that the third uncle is going to give it away, you haven't made it clear, how can you blame me?"

In a few words, he plucked himself clean.

Li Shi was even more angry, saying that it was not Ji Yanning's intention, but she didn't believe it.

That Qingyun inkstone was a gift from Ji Tingsheng, she used to be too precious to be good, how could she not recognize it? It is clear that Sister Yunyun is young and ignorant!

Ji Weisheng said: "It's not too late to know now, you give me the Qingyun inkstone, and I will take it to make amends to Lord Shilang." ”

That tone was as if Ji Yanning owed him tens of thousands of taels of silver.

Ji Yanning glanced at Ziyu and motioned for her to take out her things.

Ziyu bowed slightly, turned around and walked towards the back room.

Ji Weisheng and Li's faces softened a little, and they snorted coldly, still uncomfortable in their hearts.

After a while, Ziyu returned, but only a booklet in her hand.

Ji Weisheng said: "What's the matter, didn't you ask you to get Qingyun Yan?"

Ji Yanning sneered and said, "If the third uncle wants Qingyun Yan, return the things in this list to me first." ”

Ziyu stepped forward and handed the booklet to Ji Weisheng.

Ji Weisheng opened it, and what was written on it were some head jewelry, treasures, calligraphy and paintings, which seemed to be worth a lot of money.

"What do you mean by that?" he saw only half of it, and threw the book on the table.

Ji Yanning said: "This is what the third sister and the fifth sister took or borrowed from me, I asked the maid to make a list, I didn't expect it to be not, I didn't know it, and even I felt pain when I counted it." I didn't expect the two younger sisters to take so many good things from me, since the third uncle came to me today to ask me for Qingyun Yan, then I will calculate the previous accounts. ”

Li said loudly: "Between sisters, why bother to be serious, it's just that they took something." ”

Ji Yanning said: "It is said that the brothers are settling accounts, not to mention that we are not relatives." The third uncle wants Qingyun Yan to be fine, so he will return all the things on it first, and say anything else. ”

Ji Weisheng was bent on asking for Qingyun Yan, and seeing that the things on the list were just some women's favorite things, he said to Li: "Let Sister Lan return all the things." ”

Li picked up the list and looked at it a few times, and secretly scolded Ji Yanning in his heart for being a cunning fox.

The things on this are also seventy or eighty taels, and there are not a few hundred taels, and some calligraphy and paintings are hard to change, and they have long been squandered by the people in their third room, how can they still take it?

But when I think that my husband has offended Lord Squire now, there is no hope for promotion in the future......

"It's not as good as this. Li said, "Sister Ning will give Qingyun Yan to your third uncle first, the things on this list are not ready for a while, and the third aunt will send all the things over when they are all together in a while." ”

Ji Yanning's eyes were crooked, and he said: "That's not good, I won't give you Qingyun Yan if I don't have one less, what if you lie to me?"

"How could the third aunt lie to you" Li's eyes flashed slightly, obviously a little weak-hearted.

Ji Yanning said: "It's all a family, I don't embarrass you, convert these things into silver, and then give you the tail, just give 15,000 taels." ”
