Ji Yanning took the letter from Zi Su, opened it and read it carefully.

Her brow furrowed even deeper.

Steward Wu, who hadn't left yet, looked at the young lady like this and asked, "What did this letter say, could it be that it is a retired cronie from the Shen family?"

"Not really. Ji Yanning put the letter aside and said, "A few days ago, my grandmother sent someone to send a message to the Shen family, saying that my parents were dead and I needed to keep filial piety for three years. ”

"Second Miss?" Ziyu's eyes widened, "How can this be, the second room is too much!"

Ji Yanning continued: "But the Shen family didn't agree. ”

Steward Wu said: "The Shen family naturally can't agree, they are Cangzhou families, if they change their relatives because the young lady needs to keep filial piety, this will be a mouthful." ”

"Mrs. Shen said in the letter that Shen Sangongzi is not in a hurry to end next spring, but she hopes to see me in the meantime. Ji Yanning said, only to know that the people of the Shen family had not seen her after the marriage.

Steward Wu said: "Now that the old lady of the Shen family has passed away, I don't know how the rest of the Shen family will think of this family matter, but the old slave heard that the third son of the Shen family is a good person, and he will not easily regret repenting of his family." Now that Baochang Ji has stabilized and business has recovered, Miss can go to Cangzhou. ”

Ji Yanning groaned for a while, and then said: "Then Steward Wu will arrange it, and we will set off in the next two days, and the affairs of the Liu family will be investigated together." ”

Steward Wu bowed his head and retreated.

Zi Su also withdrew from the study, leaving only Ziyu waiting by Ji Yanning's side.

Ji Yanning asked Ziyu to tell Ziyu what was going on with this family business.

Ziyu said, this family business was personally responded to by the old man, when Ji Tingsheng was doing business, he inadvertently saved the old lady of the Shen family who was targeted by thieves, and the old lady Shen was very grateful, but at that time, all his belongings were plundered by thieves, and he wanted to repay Ji Tingsheng but didn't know how to repay him.

Ji Tingsheng said that it was just a gesture, and there was no need to worry about it. However, the more he was like this, the more Old Lady Shen felt that this person was good, and knowing that he had a daughter, he had the idea of getting married.

So he clarified his identity, saying that he had a grandson, who was a few years older than Ji Tingsheng's daughter, and was diligent and studious, so he would definitely be a good seedling in the future, and he could be married.

Then the two wrote a marriage letter and decided on this marriage.

"The old lady is really too deceitful, she actually wants to change this marriage to the second lady!" Ziyu said indignantly, "Fortunately, the Shen family didn't agree." ”

Ji Yanning wanted them to agree, so that he would not have this burden.

The reason why she agreed to Steward Wu to go to Cangzhou was just to retire this family business, but she had no reason.

She is now a merchant girl, and the Shen family is a scholar, and it is her honor to be able to climb such a family affair in the eyes of others.

If she directly said that she wanted to withdraw from her family, Steward Wu would be suspicious, so it was better to let the Shen family take the initiative to withdraw after going to Cangzhou.

In addition to Ji Yanning, the old lady also received a letter from the Shen family and politely rejected her "kindness." ”

The old lady was so angry that she tore the letter to shreds.

Ji Wan'er was in a lost mood, when her mother told her before, she was happy for a long time, but how happy she was at the beginning, how disappointed she is now!

Why can Ji Yanning have such good luck, not only Baochang Ji, but also such a good family!

A few years ago, her mother asked her father to pay attention to her marriage, but what her father said was really far from Ji Yanning's.

Ji Wan'er cried in the room for a long time, her eyes were red from crying, and she originally wanted to go to her mother, but as soon as she walked to her mother's courtyard, she heard the conversation between her mother and her subordinates, it turned out that it was the second cousin of the Wei family who asked to see him outside the gate of the Ji Mansion, but Wei was now powerless, so he could only find someone to send him away.

Ji Wan'er, who originally wanted to step into her mother's yard, suddenly paused, looked at the grandmother who went out to spread the word, she thought for a moment, and then followed.

Her second cousin, Wei Zhi, is a little scoundrel who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to eat, drink, and have fun, and now that the Wei family has been emptied by the government, he naturally can't go on, so he can only ask Wei's head.

Ji Wan'er took her personal maid and followed the grandmother to the outside of the house and quietly hid aside.

"Second son, I'm really sorry, our lady has too many things on hand, and I can't have time to see you for a while. Mama stepped forward with a smile and said.

Wei Zhi's tone was a little impatient, and he said, "I've been here three times, why does my aunt have something every time?"

Mama smiled and said, "There have been too many things in the house recently, and Madam really has no choice." ”

Wei Zhi said: "It's better to let my aunt take three hundred taels of silver for me first." ”

Mama said: "Second son, the money that Mrs. has given you a few times before and after is enough, and no matter how much Mrs. has, I can't take it out!"

Wei Zhi said: "The previous ones are not enough, is it possible that my aunt will watch our family starve to death?"

"The second son's words are serious, the Wei family is not happy, but the second lady really can't come up with extra money. Mama said, "Second son, please go back." ”

As he spoke, he turned around and entered the mansion, Wei Zhi just wanted to catch up and stop her, but was stopped by the guards at the gate of the mansion.

He scolded at the back of the grandmother, "Old thing!"

He glanced up at the plaque of the Ji Mansion, took a sip, and turned to leave.

It's just that he hasn't gone far yet, and at the corner of the street not far away, he suddenly heard someone calling out to him from behind.

"Second cousin!" Ji Wan'er chased after her in small steps.

Wei Zhi turned around and saw Ji Wan'er, and was surprised and delighted: "It turned out to be Cousin Wan'er!"

Ji Wan'er said: "Mother is really busy these days, and she really can't help with the Wei family's affairs. ”

"It's always okay to give some money to solve the difficulties in front of you, right? Although this Baochang Ji belongs to the Ji family's big house, you always have some benefits. Wei Zhi said.

Ji Wan'er listened to Wei Zhi's words, sighed, her face was embarrassed, and her voice was a little choked: "Second cousin doesn't know, now Baochangji has nothing to do with our Ji family's second room, my cousin Ji Yanning personally controls Baochangji's business, and does not allow the second room and the third room to be involved in half a point, before their sister and brother also injured Brother Wei a lot, and now the relationship between the big house and the second room is like fire and water, how can it be beneficial." ”

She said poignantly, Wei Zhi looked at the cousin in front of him crying with pear blossoms and rain, and he couldn't bear it.

He said unfairly: "This Ji Yanning is too much, if it weren't for her, our Wei family wouldn't have become like this, a good person let her be, but it hurt others!"

Ji Wan'er sighed again and said, "But what can we do? We are being bullied by her everywhere now, and we have no power to fight back." ”

Wei Zhi said: "This girl just owes a lesson, don't be afraid, cousin, I will definitely clean her up, see if she is still arrogant in the future!"

Ji Wan'er pretended to be ignorant and looked at Wei Zhi: "But cousin, what can you do?"

Wei Zhi said: "What else can be used, it's better to find someone to cripple her directly!"

Ji Wan'er persuaded: "If my cousin does this, he will definitely have to suffer a lawsuit." ”

"What are you afraid of!" Wei Zhi looked unconcerned.

Ji Wan'er said: "Cousin, I have a way, not only can I teach Ji Yanning a lesson, but also let my cousin get the money from Baochang Ji." ”

......

Ji Yanning was making medicine in the pharmacy, and Pearl had only been here for a short time, so he couldn't even tell the medicine, so he could only help hand over some things on the side.

Seeing that Ji Yanning stayed in the pharmacy for two more hours today, Pearl was puzzled: "Why did Miss stay in the pharmacy for so long today, are these medicines urgent?"

Ji Yanning said: "If you want to go out in two days, it's always good to prepare more." ”

Cangzhou is about ten days away from Jiangzhou, and after going to Cangzhou, I am afraid that I will have to stay for so many days, so I must prepare well.

Pearl said, "Can Miss take the slave and maid?"

Ji Yanning said: "No, during this time, you can go to Bao'an Hall to follow Doctor Dou as a medicine apprentice or pick up medicine, you can learn a lot of things, I can wait for Ziyu and Ying'er to go." ”

Pearl nodded, since Miss had ordered so, she couldn't ask Miss to take her with her anymore.

A maid in Ji Lang's yard hurried to Ji Yanning's yard and came to report.

Zi Su listened to her words, and hurriedly went to deliver a message to Ji Yanning, saying, "Miss, the sixth young master accidentally fell into the lake. ”

Ji Yanning frowned: "What's the matter?"

Zi Su said: "The little guy said that the person has been rescued, but he just hurt his head. ”

Ji Yanning put down the things in his hand, stood up, let Pearl watch, and then took Zisu and followed the maid in Ji Lang's yard.

Ji Lang had already fallen into the water once before, how could the little guy next to him not pay more attention and let him fall into the water again, Ji Yanning only felt that it was someone from the second or third room who was secretly attacking Ji Lang again.

Her face became even more somber, she didn't expect that she had taught them so many lessons and didn't have a long memory.

It's just that the more she walks, the more she feels that something is wrong, she has already walked to the East Garden, Ji Lang rarely moves outside the West Garden on weekdays, let alone the East Garden that he hates.

Ji Yanning paused.

"Miss, what's wrong?" asked Shisu, puzzled.

The other maid also looked at Ji Yanning puzzled: "Miss......"

"Where is Lang'er?" Ji Yanning stared at the maid and asked in a deep voice.

The maid waved her hand: "Miss, slave maid...... Just now, a little maid came over and told me that the sixth young master had fallen into the water in the lake in front of him, and asked the slave maid to bring the young lady over. ”

Ji Yanning turned around and was about to walk back, but she didn't expect someone to rush out from behind and directly stop her and hug her.

"Miss!" Shisu was startled, and was about to step forward, but she didn't expect the maid behind her to directly pick up the stick on the side and knock her out.

Wei Zhi hugged Ji Yanning and was about to drag him into the room, but he didn't expect Ji Yanning to step on his feet hard, he hurt, his hands loosened a little, and Ji Yanning took the opportunity to escape from his restraints, and when he turned around, he stabbed a thin silver needle into his eye.

"Ahh
