These three people were all people who were not very effective in Xingyun Pavilion before, otherwise they would not have been able to stay in the courtyard after the master left the pavilion. They listened to Ji Erlan's question, and they all answered honestly. The two third-class maidservants, Qing'er and Xiaorong did some things like boiling water and sprinkling the house, and they basically didn't serve Jiang Yun. And the rough girl Xiao Tang specializes in laundry.

Ji Erlan looked at them gently, smiled and comforted: "Don't be nervous, it's just a routine question, it's not a big deal." ”

Several people glanced at each other, and they all nodded and looked at Ji Erlan, waiting for her to ask.

Ji Erlan gave Yuexi a look and asked her to guard at the gate of the courtyard, and if she saw Zheng coming back, she would remind her. Then he asked, "Although you don't serve in front of the Lan nobles, you will definitely pay attention to the master's itinerary on weekdays, right?" ”

"Yes, when the master is here, we must be ready to wait, boil water when we bathe, and make tea when we are thirsty."

"Do you move around a lot with the Xu family in the house?"

"That's a lot." Qing'er nodded in agreement and said, "Because Lord Xu let go of the foreign post, only his wife and children were left at home." And the Jiang family and the Xu family are old friends, so the lady often takes the two girls to the Xu family as guests, and they move around very frequently. ”

"So that's the case, then do you remember that before the Lan Guiren entered the palace, the last time they went to the Xu Mansion was before or after Xu Gongzi's illness?"

"Yes before." Xiao Tang seemed to be impressed by this incident, and before the other two people could react, he immediately said: "That time the girl went to Xu's mansion because Xu Gongzi was infected with a cold, so Mrs. took the girl to visit, and then the girl also fed Xu Gongzi medicine with her own hands, because she accidentally spilled the medicine on her dress." I wasted a lot of effort when I was washing that dress, so I remember it clearly. ”

Ji Erlan pondered: "Did Xu Gongzi become stupid after that?" ”

"Well, I heard that Mr. Xu's cold worsened, and after the high fever, he became demented, and even Mrs. Xu didn't recognize it." Qing'er said in a regretful tone: "Xu Gongzi's life is good, and his temperament is also warm, but it's a pity that his life is not good." ”

"Mrs. Jiang and you girls, even the other party has to go over to visit, why didn't Xu Gongzi go over again after he was seriously ill and stupid?"

Qing'er and Xiaocheng glanced at each other and shook their heads. At this time, Xiao Rong, who had not spoken, spoke: "At that time, the girl already knew the emperor's intentions, and she had the heart to enter the palace, where would she go to see other men, what if the emperor changed his mind after knowing it?" What's more, the news that Xu Gongzi's stupidity can't be cured has been spread, and Jiang Fu is busy withdrawing from his relatives at the moment, and if he goes to the door again, how will he face others? ”

There seemed to be a lot of resentment in her tone, and she didn't know if she was upset for Xu Gongzi.

Ji Erlan looked at her and asked in a low voice: "You girls and Xu Gongzi have known each other since childhood, not to mention the relationship between men and women, the friendship between friends should be good, right?" ”

"How can there be no love between men and women?" Xiao Rong shook his head, frowned and said, "Young Master Xu is a talent, and the girl has always been very satisfied with this family business." The two are married on their fingers, so when they walk around each other, there are fewer taboos. Growing up together, even kittens and puppies should have feelings, right? ”

However, no matter how emotional, which is more important, glory and wealth and a childhood sweetheart who has become stupid?

Several people were silent for a moment, and then Ji Erlan turned to ask other topics: "After Xiaoshuang and Hanjiang accompanied Lan Guiren into the palace, there are only a few of you left in this courtyard?" Where did everyone else go? ”

Qing'er said: "Naturally, it will be merged into other courtyards. ”

"Did any of these people have an accident?"

"Huh? How do you know? Someone had an accident, Lianxin fell into the well and drowned......" Qing'er's face was a little strange, for fear of disturbing the soul of the dead and whispered: "Not long before the girl entered the palace, one morning, someone found the body......"

"Lotus Heart?"

"Well, it's the second-class maid next to the girl."

Ji Erlan's heart moved, and just as he was about to ask again, the Zheng family brought Lan Guiren's sister Jiang Ru in. She had no choice but to shut up, stood up and greeted, "Mrs. Jiang, Miss Jiang." ”

Jiang Ru is the same age as Ji Erlan, and he is not yet in time. It is very similar to Lan Guiren, but his facial features are more delicate and lovely than Lan Guiren. She smiled very sweetly, and her voice was a little childish: "Miss Ji is polite." ”

Ji Erlan looked at her, remembering that there was still Tinglan depicted by King Du on his desk, and I wondered if the emperor would think about it again after seeing Jiang Ru, who was more like Tinglan, and take her into the palace. The three of them sat down, and Ji Erlan motioned for Qing'er to retreat, and then said, "Miss Jiang is very similar to Lan Guiren." ”

Jiang Ru smiled shyly, while Zheng's face was a little different, it seems that the Jiang family has lost a daughter, and may not have no intention of sending another one into the palace.

Zheng reluctantly said: "Sisters, naturally similar." ”

Ji Erlan didn't answer again, but asked Jiang Ru: "Miss Jiang often goes to Xu's Mansion with her wife, right?" ”

"Well, yes. Most of the time, I accompanied my sister to Xu's house with my mother. Jiang Ru's expression fell lonely and said, "My sister and brother of the Xu family are such good people, why did they die?" ”

Ji Erlan didn't pay attention to her emotion, but asked, "So, when the Lan nobles finally went to the Xu family together, did Miss Jiang always stay by her side?" ”

Jiang Ru was stunned for a moment, glanced at his mother meaningfully, and then said, "No, I have been with my mother all the time, talking to Mrs. Xu in the flower hall." ”

"In other words, at that time, Lan Guiren went to visit Xu Gongzi alone?"

When the Zheng mother and daughter heard this, their faces changed slightly, and the girl's house, who had not left the pavilion, was alone with the man, even if it was engaged, it was too polite. Ji Erlan hurriedly explained: "I don't mean anything else, please don't worry about it." I just want to ask, who was with Lan Guiren at that time, Xiaoshuang, or Hanjiang? Still is...... Others? ”

Jiang Ru thought for a while and said, "It seems to be, Han Jiang and Lianxin?" Mother, isn't it? ”

Seeing his daughter asking, Zheng frowned and nodded, and said, "It's them." ”

Ji Erlan secretly thought in his heart, it was indeed a lotus heart. She nodded, not revealing. Instead, he asked, "Xiao Shuang and Han Jiang are the closest maids to Lan Guiren?" If Lan Guiren and Xu Gongzi had successfully married at the beginning, the two of them would have to marry together, right? ”

Zheng was confused, and didn't know why she asked about these trivial things, and replied: "Yes, because they have decided to marry since childhood, these two girls were specially selected, and they plan to marry Yun'er in the future." ”

"I think Xiaoshuang is a very clever and capable person, is she going to be a housekeeper?"

Zheng was a little embarrassed, and didn't know how to explain the purpose of Xiaoshuang and Hanjiang to a girl who had not left the cabinet...... So he reluctantly said, "Not really." ”

"Well, I've already asked everything I want to ask."

Zheng was stunned for a moment, she didn't even guess the other party's intentions with such a tigerish question. She thought that the other party was going to ask Jiang Ru, but she didn't ask a word. "Done?"

Ji Erlan smiled slightly, saluted her, and politely said goodbye.

After leaving Jiang's mansion, it was almost noon, and the two found a wine shop for lunch. Yuexi said, "Did the girl ask anything?" ”

"Well, it's already eyebrow-raising. In the afternoon, we will go back to Dali Temple to find Xiaoshuang and Hanjiang. She paused for her chopsticks, thought about it again, and said, "There is still something to ask the prince for help, let's go to the palace first." ”

When she said this, she suddenly remembered that when he came to look for him in the morning, he actually forgot to talk about Xiao Xun. "Will the prince be in the palace at this hour?"

After all, the moon is a person from the palace, and said: "Well, the prince will go back to the palace for dinner at noon and rest for another hour." ”

"Why do you have to go back to the palace for dinner?" Ji Erlan couldn't help but slander the king of hypocrisy in her heart.

Yuexi smiled mischievously and said in a very low voice: "The girl thinks well. ”

Ji Erlan raised an eyebrow at her, "Do you know what I'm thinking?" ”

"The girl is obviously written on her face......" Yuexi said hehehehe: "However, the prince has a lot of quirks." For example, he never eats at the same table with others, sleeps in the same bed, and throws away everything that outsiders touch......"

Ji Erlan said speechlessly: "It's indeed a quirk, but in the future, with Princess Du, don't you have to change these stinky problems?" ”

Yuexi seemed to appreciate the evaluation of 'stinky problem', smiled for a while, and said: "I don't think it maybe, where can a weak woman like Miss Xiao be able to lower the prince?" ”

Ji Erlan rolled her eyes and said, "I can't take care of this." If I find him a princess, do I have to care if he has a child? ”

The moon breath 'poof' sprayed the tea all over the table, and the two looked at the messy meal, and put down their chopsticks depressedly. Ji Erlan sighed: "Let's go, let's go to see the prince first, and then find something to eat......"

When he arrived at the palace, Yang Zhen was really eating.

Ji Erlan looked at his dish and couldn't help but swallow. A smile overflowed in Yang Zheng's eyes, and he said to Lei Ze, "Add a pair of dishes and chopsticks." ”

Lei Zele went to fetch the dinner plate and chopsticks that Ji Erlan used last time and handed them to her. She suddenly remembered what Yuexi had just said, carefully looked at the blue jade porcelain bowl in front of her, and said, "Huh? Or this bowl? ”

Yang Xiao was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Ji Erlan shook his head and said, "It's okay, I thought you had thrown it away." ”

Yang Zhen's face turned dark and looked at Lei Ze. Lei Ze was stunned for a moment, then understood, and said: "This green jade porcelain bowl is very precious and rare, where you can say throw it, throw it away." Therefore, I specifically asked the prince, and the prince said not to throw it. ”

"Oh......" Ji Erlan sighed clearly, and the expression on his face obviously carried the meaning of 'don't throw away the original expensive ones'.

Yang Zhen's face darkened.

Lei Ze suddenly sweated, but he didn't know that he was wrong at all, and explained again: "Besides, besides, Miss Ji is not an outsider, where should I throw away the things I have used?" Last time you drank water from the prince's cup, you didn't throw it away. ”
