"Cheng Shaozhang is indeed not a good person, but would he really do such a thing?" Fang Qingxue said as she helped Ji Erlan dry her hair, Twilight Ye combed her hair again, took a set of clothes to Ji Erlan, and said, "Girl, this is the spare clothes we brought in the morning, I found them next to the scattered carriage, fortunately, there is a package, there is no dust, hurry up and change it." ”

Twilight is very smart, although she didn't say it explicitly, but the meaning is very clear, Ji Erlan personally went into the water to make the matter of Twilight rain not known to others, otherwise, it will cause a lot of trouble.

Ji Erlan didn't say anything more about Cheng Shaozhang's question, quickly changed his clothes, and said: "The matter of Ma being frightened must not be hidden, and when we go back to the house in a while, we will say that after the twilight rain falls into the water, it is Qingxue who sent someone to ask for help from Master Fang, the person we found, don't say anything else." ”

"Yes, slave understands."

Fang Qingxue's eyes were still red, and she still had lingering palpitations about what had just happened to the other party. said: "Sister Erlan, don't worry, the people of the Fang Mansion won't talk nonsense." What's more, when you jumped off the cliff, only me and Twilight saw it. Later, I followed my father to find a few of your guards, and they were all trustworthy. My father had the horse's corpse disposed of. ”

The wound on the horse's neck was cut by Ji Erlan with a fan bone, and it is inevitable that people will be suspicious if they are known. Ji Erlan put her mind at ease and said, "Fortunately, Lord Fang has thought it through. But how did you find me and Twilight? ”

"My father ordered the guards to go into the water to find someone to no avail, so I met the driver of the car of the prince, and the Lei guard, who was always with the prince, said that if the person who fell into the water knew the nature of water, he should swim to the nearest east coast. We're going to let people continue to look for people in the gushui, and we're going to the east coast to look for you. ”

"What is the King doing here?"

"My father said that the emperor heard that there was Penglai Immortal Mountain in ancient times, which was the place where people who attained the Tao ascended to heaven. I moved my mind to build Penglai Hall on the largest island in Gushui. It is said that this matter was handed over to the prince of Du, presumably he came to inquire about the matter. ”

Ji Erlan nodded, today is really a coincidence.

The emperor wants to build a palace, and Ji Erlan also has some impressions in his previous life. Gushui is vast and the scenery is beautiful. There are many independent islands in the inner lake, and some small islands close to the water's shore have always been frequented by literati and students. It seems that later because of the huge cost of Penglai Palace, the people worked excessively. The advice of the two kings also caused the emperor's dissatisfaction, coupled with the collusion between the clans, which led to countless big and small things.

The group quickly returned to Yong'an Fang. Twilight hurriedly jumped out of the carriage and called the two mothers-in-law to come out and carry Twilight inside. happened to bump into Ji Chenglin head-on, Ji Chenglin obviously knew what was going on, and asked, "What about you girls?" ”

"Father, I'm here." Ji Erlan had just said goodbye to Lord Fang, and before he entered the courtyard, he heard Ji Chenglin's inquiry.

Ji Chenglin looked her up and down for a moment, and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay if you're fine, how could this kind of thing happen?" How can a good horse be frightened? ”

Ji Erlan was a little funny in her heart, her father finally began to care about her life or death? This worried look, if it had been placed in the past, would have been more difficult to see than winter thunder and summer snow. "The daughter is fine, the father doesn't have to worry, it's just an accident."

Before Ji Erlan finished speaking, the Qin clan hurried over and hugged Ji Erlan: "Erlan, you are going to scare A-Niang to death!" ”

"Auntie, I'm fine, don't I stand in front of you? It's the girl in the twilight rain, fortunately, Qingxue sent someone to ask Lord Fang for help, otherwise this girl's life would have to be explained. ”

Ji Chenglin frowned and said, "How can you go to trouble the Fang family because of a mere maid." ”

Ji Erlan said: "Father didn't know, when the horse was shocked, this girl Duyu took a lot of care about me and Miss Fang, so that the two of us could be thoughtful. Miss Fang is grateful for the twilight rain, and she must take someone to find it herself, otherwise, her daughter will also have to order someone to find her father for help. With such a loving and righteous girl, Er Lan doesn't want to lose it easily. ”

Of course, even if Ji Erlan finds someone to ask Ji Chenglin for help, Ji Chenglin probably won't make a big deal because of the life of a servant girl. Ji Erlan knew this very well, and said this to block Ji Chenglin's dissatisfaction.

Ji Chenglin coughed dryly and said with a smile: "That's natural, this girl is really good, you ordered someone to invite Lang Zhong to come and treat her well, don't make people think that my Ji Mansion is unkind." Another day, you and your mother will go to the Fang Mansion to thank you. After all, it's a nuisance. ”

"Yes, Erlan knows." Ji Erlan thought for a while, and then said, "Father, Erlan just has something to explain to you. ”

Ji Chenglin stopped and said, "You say." ”

"Langzhong, who doesn't have a doctor in our house, if anyone has a headache and brain fever in the middle of the night in the next three watches, it will be really a troublesome matter. It happened that a few days ago, my mother was a little unwell, and I went to Baicaotang for treatment, where there was a Su Langzhong, although he was not very old, his medical skills were very good, and his reputation was good. Why don't you come to the house for a consultation? What does my father think of this? ”

Ji Chenglin looked at the Qin family, was silent for a moment and asked, "Unwell?" ”

Qin Shi was slightly unnatural, and replied: "It's not a serious illness, it's just a small illness that has accumulated over the years. ”

Ji Chenglin nodded: "For these trivial matters, you can help your mother to watch and decide." Don't let me know. With that, he glanced at the Qin clan and turned to leave.

Ji Erlan looked at the Qin clan and said, "Ah Niang, what do you think of your father's treatment of you?" ”

The Qin clan suddenly recovered from Ji Chenglin's insignificant words of concern, and said embarrassedly: "You kid, why do you ask this, they have been husband and wife for many years, what is the matter?" ”

A few days ago, Ji Chenglin took in the two newly added girls into a room. Qin didn't say anything on his face, he must have been sad in his heart, and today he got Ji Chenglin's greeting with ulterior motives, and he actually had hope again.

Ji Erlan's heart was filled with a sense of powerlessness, how could she make the Qin family understand that Ji Chenglin would not change his mind about her? Continuing the string is a good opportunity for Ji Chenglin to climb to a high place as soon as possible, and he will not give up. Therefore, in Ji Chenglin's eyes, the Qin family is a person who will 'die of illness' sooner or later. "Mother's complexion has improved a lot recently, and it seems that Su Langzhong's recipe is still good."

Qin agreed, looked Ji Erlan up and down again, and asked, "Are you really okay?" If you bump somewhere, don't be sloppy, you're a girl's family, if you have a scar, it's terrible. ”

"Well, I see, I'll go to the shower and change clothes first, and I'll talk to my mother when I turn around."

Ji Erlan persuaded the Qin family to leave, and Dusk Dong hurriedly dragged Ji Erlan to remove her clothes for her, and said, "Although the girl has changed her outer clothes, her inner clothes are still wet, so she will get sick!" The water is ready, and the slave maid waits for the girl to bathe first. ”

Soaking in the warm water, Ji Erlan exhaled comfortably: "How is the twilight rain?" ”

"Su Langzhong has already come to see it, saying that he was frightened, and he was going to have a fever at night, so he left a prescription and said that he would be fine after taking a few pairs of medicines." As she spoke, she brought another night of ginger soup to Ji Erlan: "The girl is about to drink, and she is sweating." At this time, although the water is not cold, it can be soaked in the water for a long time, and it is not good after all. ”

Ji Erlan drank the ginger soup and asked, "Ji Tianjiao and her sisters are back?" ”

"Not yet, I heard that I was invited by a girl from Beppu, and I won't come back until later." Twilight frowned and said, "The eldest girl is very clever, and she made friends on the first day of the feast?" When the old man heard about this, he was very happy. ”

"Cheng Xiaoxiao couldn't make a secret plan this time, it seems that she wants to bring Ji Tianjiao with her."

"Then, if the eldest girl has such a lawless backer, will it be bad for the girl?"

"Anyway, let's be careful."

A few days after the house was calm, there was news that Ji Tianjiao's sisters were also fortunate to enter the women's school, Ji Chenglin's face couldn't be described with a good word at all, it was simply radiant. deliberately called the three of them to the front and said: "You three sisters, they are all good daughters of your father, whether you are at home or outside, you must get along in harmony and help each other, understand?" ”

This is to put them on an equal footing to speak.

Ji Tianjiao glanced at Ji Erlan proudly and said, "That's natural, I'm a sister, and I should take care of my two younger sisters." ”

Ji Erlan smiled: "Then thank you big sister, if my sister has any grievances, I must find my big sister to help me out." ”

"That's ...... Nature. Ji Tianjiao choked and laughed dryly. She can't wait for Ji Erlan to have a good one as soon as possible, and if she has the opportunity, she doesn't mind letting Ji Erlan's death be a little more ugly!

Ji Chenglin didn't know what their little girl's family was thinking all day long, but as long as the result was good, nothing else mattered. "By the way, Erlan, your uncle has a letter, saying that he wants to come to Beijing to visit your mother, because your father has had a lot of things recently, and you and your mother will look at the arrangements."

Ji Erlan was stunned: "Uncle is coming?" She took the letter from Ji Chenglin's hand and read it quickly.

Her uncle Qin Cheng is a kind and kind person, but he has never met him, and now he is in his early thirties, and he is still studying hard in the cold window. My aunt left early, and she didn't even leave a child behind. He was the only one left to live. In the past, the Qin family was not treated well in the Ji family, and even he was treated as a poor relative, and he did not dare to come to the Ji Mansion easily, for fear of causing trouble to the Qin family.

I was able to take the initiative to visit them this time, I am afraid that I was too worried about their situation. Although they didn't meet often before, at least they were in Yangcheng, and if there was something, at least they could hear the news. It's different now, they are far away in the capital, and the Qin family is a person who reports good news but not bad news, and if you want to know whether they are doing well or not, you can only know by seeing it with your own eyes.

"Father is even more busy, Erlan will help his mother entertain his uncle." Although Ji Erlan's face was silent, he was actually very happy in his heart.

It was getting late, and Ji Erlan went to the main courtyard to tell the Qin family about it first, and then returned to the empty mountain building.

As soon as she entered the courtyard, she felt that the atmosphere was not right. After taking a few steps inside, I saw a few girls trembling at the door of the house, and a tall figure stood there in front of the door.
