Chapter 76: Shameless
The night was dark, and there were faint rain clouds gathering, although Ji Tianjiao got Ji Chenglin's assurance, he was still nervous: "Although Daddy promised to take me back as soon as the limelight passed, but because of this kind of thing, I went to the nunnery, and I don't know how others will arrange me behind my back." ”
Mu Xiang was apprehensive about what had happened before, and followed her silently. Hearing Ji Tianjiao muttering, he only replied absentmindedly: "Girl, don't think about it." ”
Ji Tianjiao frowned, turned around suddenly, and stared at Mu Xiang with a dissatisfied expression: "What's going on with you girl lately?" It's getting more and more ineffective? If you don't have an idea, you don't say anything, and you're as timid as a mouse! If it weren't for the green frieze that broke his hand, he wouldn't be able to take him out of the house in the future, and I'd kick you out of the house now! ”
Mu Xiang raised her eyes and glanced at Ji Tianjiao in a daze, she was not a little afraid, she just knelt down calmly and admitted her mistake: "The slave knows that she is wrong." ”
Seeing her unspeakable appearance, Ji Tianjiao was even more angry, and snorted coldly and threw his sleeves away.
Mu Xiang secretly hated Ji Tianjiao for being ruthless and unrighteous, she had grown up with her since she was a child, not only did she not care about these feelings, but she didn't even have the tacit understanding and affection between ordinary masters and servants, but trusted the despicable and shameless flattering green lintel. Looking at the twilight of winter, they only followed the second girl after they arrived in the capital, and the second girl was considerate everywhere, and she never pressed people on weekdays.
Qingshi Diyi's knees hurt, Mu Xiang stood up and went back to Lan Ruoge with depression, and when he entered the courtyard, he met Moyu going out to fetch water for Ji Rujun. Mo Yu nodded to her and was about to walk by mistake, when Mu Xiang suddenly stopped her and asked, "Mo Yu, why didn't the three girls show up today?" ”
Mo Yu's face was slightly unnatural for a moment, and then she said: "The girl somehow caught the wind last night, and her body was a little uncomfortable, and she wilted all day. She paused for a moment. After all, Ji Rujun also lived in Lan Ruoge, so it was impossible not to hear any movement, she felt that it was too strange to pretend to be deaf and dumb, so she said: "There is also the incident in the morning, although the girl didn't go out, she was still scared. ”
"I see."
Mo Yu smiled and said, "The girl is still waiting to wash, I won't tell you yet." ”
Mu Xiang nodded, looked at Moyu's back, and guessed in his heart whether Ji Rujun was really sick or hiding from trouble. In a blink of an eye, she envied Moyu's good life, she also came with Yangcheng, but she won Ji Rujun's trust. Looking at myself again, I became more and more bored.
On the second day, before Ji Tianjiao left the house, he went to Ji Chenglin again and complained bitterly, begging him to let someone pick him up as soon as possible. Ji Chenglin frowned and didn't speak, because early this morning, there were rumors that the Yan family oppressed people with power and connived at evil slaves to hurt people's lives.
Ji Chenglin looked at Ji Erlan and said, "Such a rumor suddenly appeared in Beijing, will the Yan family think that we ordered someone to take revenge in private?" ”
"Paper can't hold the fire, is this matter still used to pass on?" Ji Erlan replied lightly: "Whether it is the Yan family's brothers and sisters suddenly patronizing our house, or Yan Jun ordering someone to go to the household department to verify the identity of the deceased, it will attract the attention of those who have a heart." Whether we pass it on or not, this matter will definitely be boiling for a while. However, my father can rest assured, even if the Yan family suspects us, it won't be anything, otherwise, wouldn't it be more difficult for them to exculpate? ”
"However, we and the Liang Zi of the Yan family are settled." Ji Chenglin couldn't help but be very upset: "Yan Xiangfu, where is it so easy to offend!" ”
Ji Erlan said: "There is a reason for things, and the cause does not lie with you and me. So it's inevitable. Moreover, between the Jingzhong family and the two kings, they are involved in each other and check and balance each other, and since my father has been promoted by King Duan, it is better not to get close to the family at will. Otherwise, my father will be offended if he is not careful. ”
The people of the Yan family are what Ji Erlan has to deal with. Therefore, it is also a good thing to be able to take advantage of this incident to distance the Ji family from the Yan family. Otherwise, if something happens to the Yan family in the future, you will have to think about how to take the Ji family out.
Ji Chenglin looked at Ji Erlan in a daze and was startled. When he entered Beijing, he was still short, and some intricate relationships have not yet been smoothed, but eating in the bowl and looking at the pot, in the end, he will only make a person inside and out, of course he understands this truth, but how can this girl say that the head is the Tao, is it the king of the crossing and her? He pondered for a moment and said, "Er Lan, have you seen Lord Du recently?" ”
Ji Erlan glanced at him in surprise, how could she not know what Ji Chenglin's heart was, but even if he didn't have extra thoughts, it was impossible for him to say more. So, she simply replied: "It's just an occasional meeting on the road, a nodding acquaintance." ”
Ji Chenglin nodded thoughtfully, didn't say much, but turned around and went to his own business.
Ji Erlan went to the women's school with Fang Qingxue as usual, the difference was that without Ji Tianjiao, Ji Rujun took Ji Erlan's carriage and walked together. With her there, Fang Qingxue was inconvenient to ask more, and Ji Erlan was a person who never cared about this embarrassment, and there was some silence in the carriage for a while. In the end, Ji Rujun couldn't sit still a little and said: "Second sister, yesterday's incident, thanks to you, otherwise the big sister will definitely not be able to wash it off, Ah Jun thank the second sister for the big sister." ”
Ji Erlan raised her eyelids and glanced at her, noncommittal, and said, "No need. ”
Ji Rujun bowed her head again and was silent, and Ji Erlan didn't mean to say more. Fang Qingxue turned her face out of the window with a strange expression, and saw the lake island where Penglai Immortal Pavilion was built from a distance, and said, "I heard that those people in the household department have been so worried that their hair has turned a lot whiter. ”
Ji Erlan sighed and said softly: "The construction of large-scale construction is the lead for the outbreak of many interests and contradictions. As she spoke, she also looked out along the curtain opened by Fang Qingxue, and a familiar carriage was parked there on the shore of the Gushui River. Razor sat on the wheel, tilting his head slightly, as if listening to the commands of the people inside.
She looked stunned, twisted her head back, and secretly thought: This time, I really want to thank others.
When she arrived at the women's school, Ji Rujun said hello and walked forward alone. Fang Qingxue breathed a sigh of relief: "You and these two sisters in the family have never been very friendly, and I don't dare to talk more, for fear that she will listen to her and make a mistake." ”
Ji Erlan was a little surprised and asked, "Do you even see that my third sister is unusual?" ”
"I don't know anything else, just by looking at her performance after coming to the girls' school, I know that she is not simple-minded." Fang Qingxue seemed to sigh and remind: "Those ladies of the same age as her, although they are young, they can be immersed in the family environment from an early age, and they know a lot of rules and etiquette, and they have a lot of hearts." Your third sister is obviously the same status as Ji Tianjiao, but she is very comfortable among these little girls. If she makes friends with these people, it will be a great disaster in the future. ”
Ji Erlan looked at Ji Rujun's back deeply, revealing an elusive smile, how could she not know this person's heart? In order to frame her in her previous life, Ji Rujun even did something to kill her mother! Her means are to do everything. Ji Tianjiao, that idiot, can only be used by his own sister, presumably this stupid thing that Ji Tianjiao did this time is also inseparable from Ji Rujun's instigation.
However, Ji Erlan is not in a hurry. She smiled at Fang Qingxue and said, "Hmm." I know. ”
As soon as the two stopped talking, Cheng Xiaoxiao shouted at them: "Er Lan, Qingxue, are you here?" ”
The relationship between the three of them has gradually developed in the direction of handkerchief handkerchief, and there is more contact, Fang Qingxue also found that Cheng Xiaoxiao is actually spoiled, and now with Ji Erlan's sometimes cold face, and she sometimes urges, Cheng Xiaoxiao doesn't know how much more honest she is, and her temperament is not as domineering as before.
Several people walked inside together, and Cheng Xiaoxiao whispered: "Yan Lingtian didn't come to the women's school today, I'm afraid she was thinking about how to deal with the rumors in Beijing in the mansion." A few days ago, she used her hands and feet to spread rumors that Er Lan's life experience was different, and this time it was her turn! This can be regarded as retribution. ”
Fang Qingxue said: "I really never dreamed that Yan Lingtian was so ruthless and so ......" She paused and lowered her voice extremely low: "...... Despicable one. ”
Cheng Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes and said: "For this kind of person, what kind of elegance are you, her behavior is much more serious than despicable, it's just shameless!" ”
Ji Erlan and Fang Qingxue sneered, stretched out their fingers, one of them poked her, and walked forward laughing at each other.
The time of the day passed quickly, and when the golden glow was spread all over the western sky, Lei Ze arrived at the empty mountain building on time, and Ji Erlan handed him the letterhead as usual, and suddenly asked, "Is the matter of the household department still going well?" ”
Razor was about to leave with the letterhead, but he was already halfway through the action of climbing over the wall, and he almost fell down when he heard the words. When he came to pick up the letterhead on weekdays, Ji Erlan had always asked Twilight to hand it over to him, but today not only showed up in person, but also took the initiative to ask about the prince, could it be that the prince's 'righteous act' finally moved her?
He turned around and said in surprise: "Miss Ji wants to ask about the current situation of the prince?" ”
Ji Erlan frowned, feeling that Lei Ze's question was strange, and returned to a cold look. "After all, your prince has helped me a lot, and I naturally want to repay one or two."
Lei Ze suddenly laughed and said, "The prince also said yesterday that Miss Ji doesn't look like she has a conscience and understands Entu, but I didn't expect Miss Ji to finally take the initiative to 'thank you'?" ”
The corners of Ji Erlan's mouth twitched unconsciously: "Speak for me, if the prince needs my help if there is anything, he will let me know." ”
Lei Ze didn't think about it and answered: "The prince said, if Miss Ji has this thought, she will take the time to go to the palace, and the prince has something to say to Miss Ji." ”
Ji Erlan raised his eyebrows, he had expected this a long time ago?
