Chapter 58: Tracking

Although Ji Erlan was surprised in her heart, of course she would not let people see anything on her face, but she did not avoid it, and said unhurriedly: "What do you mean by this, big sister?" Is it implying that I am not my father's daughter? Heh......" She smiled lightly, and said: "You are so blessed, you and Aunt Gu are carved out of the same mold, and you can see that you are a mother and daughter at a glance." ”

"I'm ......" Ji Tianjiao choked, her face instantly turned red, Ji Erlan's words meant the same thing, she was born by her aunt! Raised by my aunt! I will do some of the things that aunts often do!

When Ji Chenglin heard them mention Aunt Gu, he felt a little repulsed in his heart, and said impatiently: "Okay! He frowned and looked at Ji Erlan, but there was no distraction in those clear eyes, and he swallowed back the words he wanted to reprimand, and turned to look at Ji Tianjiao: "Since your second sister is so good in women's school, you have to work harder, don't make trouble for nothing, and pay attention to proportions when you speak!" Your mother is not in good health, don't upset her! ”

Obviously, Ji Chenglin attributed the anomaly of the Qin clan to Ji Tianjiao's speechlessness, which made the Qin clan angry.

"Daddy!" Ji Tianjiao was stunned for a moment, then understood what he meant, and defended: "I didn't!" ”

Ji Chenglin snorted coldly, obviously didn't want to listen to what she said anymore, the thoughts of those little daughters, where did he have time to delve into it, he put aside the dishes and chopsticks at the moment, took the tea from the maid and rinsed his mouth, and prepared to go out, before leaving, he also advised: "Have more time to be filial piety in front of your mother, don't think nonsense all day long!" ”

This look is always concerned about the appearance of the Qin family, I don't know, I think they have been in love for many years, Qin Se and Ming. Who would have thought that the Qin clan would be left out in the cold for more than ten years? Ji Erlan secretly sighed that Ji Chenglin had done enough, if something happened to the Qin family, no one would suspect him.

Seeing Ji Chenglin leaving, Ji Tianjiao stomped his feet, glared at Ji Erlan fiercely, and threw his sleeves away. Ji Rujun silently watched the words and deeds of several people, swallowed the food in her mouth very obediently, rinsed her mouth and cleaned her hands without falling, and then got up and left, as if she didn't understand anything and nothing had happened.

Ji Erlan's eyebrows furrowed, and a trace of doubt rose in his heart.

In her previous life, from birth to death, no one ever questioned her identity, and even she herself never thought about this question. She's the daughter of the Ji family, isn't she?

"Second sister, what are you thinking? You must be my sister, yes, it's the eldest sister who is talking nonsense. Ji Rong puffed out a face and said seriously.

Ji Erlan looked at him again, carefully tasted the strong dependence in his mouth, and suddenly smiled: "That's nature, you are my brother, we are a family, and no one can change it." ”

Ji Rong listened to her words, as if he had been promised, and nodded with a smile. "Hmm."

Only then did Ji Erlan realize that Ji Yun was not there today, and asked, "What about the eldest brother?" ”

"Big brother and Brother Ao Rui have something to discuss, so I made an appointment today and went out early."

"Ao Rui?" Ji Erlan asked in surprise, "How did they get together?" ”

After Ao Rui saw Ji Erlan's violence, he never showed up in front of her again, and he was able to hide as far as he could on weekdays. After the two families moved to Beijing, Ji Erlan had never heard of Ao Rui at all. She had almost forgotten that this person existed.

"After all, Brother Ao Rui is also from Yangcheng, and we entered the academy together, so those little things in the past have been written off...... "Ji Rong is a little adult, and he is very high-spirited.

Ji Erlan laughed and said, "In that case, why didn't they take you with them when they went out?" ”

Ji Rong snorted: "They said that I was young and would do bad things!" I think they are a pair of brave and unscrupulous horses, without me, maybe they will get into trouble! ”

Twilight and Twilight stood behind Ji Erlan, and they couldn't hold back when they heard this. hurriedly disguised and said, "Girl, the hour is almost up, we should also go to the girls' school." ”

Ji Erlan glanced at Ji Rong funny, stretched out his hand to take him, and said, "Since that's the case, you can go with me today." ”

At noon, the thick black clouds were covered layer by layer, covering the sky without a single gap, and it looked like it was going to rain, but not half a drop could be squeezed out, and it was so stuffy.

Cheng Xiaoxiao sat in the carriage sullenly, listening to the noise outside, and became even more irritable: "Stop!" ”

Yuan Rui carefully helped her and asked, "Girl, what's wrong?" ”

In the past few days, although the matter of Gushui finding the corpse has gradually faded, I can still occasionally hear people say three or four. said that the Cheng family could even kill the slaves and maids who were loyal to the master, and the others didn't know how to be treated! Cheng Xiaoxiao was almost annoyed: "I don't want to go back home immediately, let's go for a walk on the street." ”

Cheng Xiaoxiao got out of the carriage, and when she raised her eyes, she saw a familiar face entering the building. "Isn't that Jierlan? How does she wear a men's outfit? She looked up at the plaque on Fanlou and wondered, "What is she doing in this kind of place?" ”

Yuan Rui was a little nervous, she had just been promoted from a second-class maid to a first-class maid, she should have been happy, but she was afraid that Cheng Xiaoxiao would cause any more trouble, and her fate would probably not be much better than Yuanyan Yuanxiang at that time, so of course she didn't want her to go to anyone's trouble, so she persuaded: "Girl, this kind of place is crowded and messy, let's not go in." ”

Cheng Xiaoxiao frowned and thought for a moment, but she couldn't hold back her curiosity, and said, "What are you afraid of, aren't you wearing a hat." Go in and see what she's doing here. With that, he lifted his feet and walked in.

Yuan Rui had no choice but to follow closely.

Fanlou, both a teahouse and a wine shop, idle and nothing, there are many people like to come here leisurely to ask for a pot of good tea, taste a product of people, talk about the world. Sometimes there is a gentleman upstairs talking to the story, which is even more lively.

Ji Erlan sat in the hall on the first floor, listening to two idlers talking on the side.

I saw one of the men with a pair of slender slitted eyes, a black mole at the end of his eyebrows, and a short coarse cloth shirt, which looked like a lively mind, and at this time his eyebrows flew and said, "Have you heard about Li Laosan's family?" The little lady who was like a flower and jade was burned alive! ”

The man sitting next to him was very burly and strong, but his face was very honest and responsible. His voice was also muffled, which matched his appearance perfectly. "I heard about it, but I don't know why such a thing happened, didn't the little girl marry Chongxi? Why did you burn to death? ”

The squinted-eyed man took a sip of weak tea, and tapped his fingers on the table a few times: "Ouch, but it's a matter of evil, and when I see it, my big man can't bear it!" He sighed with pity and sigh in his mouth, but the look on his face did not show any unbearableness, but showed a bit of a woman's long tongue. He smacked his lips and said: "After Li Laosan died his mother-in-law, he lost his livelihood more and more, and he was idle all day long. When the creditor heard that he had no money, he was going to chop him up on the spot! ”

The honest man glared and asked, "That'...... Did you chop it? ”

"Nope! Can there be a later event? Squinted his eyes and hung his eyes, and said, "Then Li Laosan is very afraid of death, and he is so scared that he is urinating." When the catastrophe was approaching, some people said that they were willing to give him this silver, as long as he could marry his daughter to his sick son Chongxi. Li Laosan didn't say a word, and agreed immediately. ”

Squinting his eyes said this, he looked at the honest man, as if he wanted to wait for him to respond. The honest man listened carefully, and when he saw that he didn't say anything, he reacted and said, "That's the case...... If the son of that family can get better, it is not a bad thing for the little sister to marry in the past, and like Li Laosan, he will not be able to tell the little sister about the ...... in the future."

"Alas...... It's a pity that the sky doesn't fulfill people's wishes......" squinted his eyes and shook his head and sighed, and said: "As soon as the little girl entered the door, the groom official died!" A good happy event turns into a funeral, alas, you tell me...... Moreover, the family surnamed Liu is not unreasonable, and she insists that this little girl killed her son! I want the little girl to follow the funeral! ”

Squinted his eyes and took a sip of tea, and then said: "As soon as Li Laosan's son heard that his sister had suffered a catastrophe, he ran to Liu's house to ask for someone to take his sister away, but the family surnamed Liu was willing to let him go, knocked him unconscious and threw him out of the door, and then the firewood room of Liu's family caught fire, and the little sister was locked in it and burned alive!" ”

"Huh?" The honest man opened his mouth wide, and it seemed that his brain was turning faster than usual at this moment: "Didn't this Liu Jiamo mean it?" ”

"Who knows, if it is intentional, who can come up with evidence?" Squinted his eyes and pursed his lips, and said in a low voice: "If you want me to see, the Liu family already knew that their son was not good, and they just wanted to find a daughter-in-law to go down there as a companion!" Do you say yes and no? ”

"This ...... Isn't that iniquity? The honest man was horrified, and thought that this was even more incredible than the story told by the storyteller.

"What's the solution? It's all fate! ”

Ji Erlan heard this clearly, and looked at Ji Yun and Ao Rui beside him: "You guys are sneaky about this?" Want to find trouble with the Liu family? Get justice for the girl of the Li family? ”

Ao Rui hurriedly touched Ji Yun with his elbow, Ji Yun looked flattering, and said with a smile: "Sister, look, if you know about this, you can't ignore it, right?" ”

Ji Erlan sneered: "With your skills, you still want to be chivalrous? Aren't you afraid to catch up with yourself? If I hadn't met you just now, you would have been arrested and interrogated by the yamen right now. "Ji Erlan suddenly remembered that Ji Rong said in the morning that these two people were 'brave and unscrupulous', and at this time he couldn't help but think so." Please use your brains before you act! ”

Ao Rui's face was already blood-red, his head was lowered, and he almost inserted it into the placket of his chest. And Ji Yun has been trained by Ji Chenglin since he was a child, and his face is much thicker, he said: "Sister, we are also inexperienced. Once born, twice cooked, next time will never be so careless! ”

"Ho! Want to have a next time? Ji Erlan glanced at him coldly: "I knew that I would let you leave it here this time." Otherwise, there are so many unfair things in the world, and you will have to take advantage of yourself sooner or later. ”

Ji Yun has nothing to say now.

Ao Rui hesitated, and then refuted with the courage to refute: "You are a girl, why are you so unsympathetic? Looking at such a tragic event, are you really indifferent? ”
