Ji Erlan groaned, reached out to stroke the tender red buds of the kapok branches outside the corridor, and said, "Since someone deliberately spread rumors, it means that someone has manipulated this matter." We have the right to believe that Mrs. Fang is not the murderer. So, what is the purpose of the other person doing these things? Everything has a purpose, but what is the purpose that this person wants to achieve? Avenge? Collecting money? ”

"Although my father is a bit old-fashioned and upright, and sometimes offends people unintentionally, he does not have any deep hatred, and revenge seems impossible...... Or, is the other party targeting my mother? Fang Qingai frowned and said. He is not very old, and he can be regarded as a powerful character if he is so stable, which must have something to do with Fang Chong's daily upbringing.

Fang Qingxue suddenly got up, her face pale: "Big brother, what do you mean, yes......" She lowered her voice very low: "Yes...... Does the little cousin want to force her mother to death and replace her? ”

Ji Erlan patted her arm lightly and said, "I don't think so, if she has such a plan, why should she cheat to death?" How to take its place after the death of fraud. ”

Because of Ji Erlan's sincere and straightforward persuasion and analysis, Fang Qingxue had a sense of trust in her, and couldn't help but say: "But I think it's impossible to collect money...... The person who had the accident was a little cousin, but the person behind the scenes could not be an aunt and grandmother, so how could he make money? ”

Ji Erlan is not easy to answer this, after all, there is no evidence, and sometimes suspicion is very hurtful, she stopped Fang Qingxue's speculation, and said: "Don't guess who the other party is for the time being, what is the purpose, as long as you catch this 'ghost', won't the truth be revealed?" ”

Fang Qingai said with a bitter face: "My father has led people to search I don't know how many times, but he can't find anything. The whimpering singing in the night made people panic. My mother had no choice but to invite the monks in the temple to do things to appease people's hearts. ”

Ji Erlan heard this, plus what Twilight said before, she could already roughly guess eight or nine, that life, after she got married, in the courtyard of the deep house, she had never seen any means, and it was not uncommon to pretend to be ghosts, and finally found out the cause of the matter, but someone tried to misbehave, and used it as a disguise.

She said: "Asking for the life of an unjust soul or something, it's nonsense at all. If there is really a ghost to take revenge, there is a debtor and a debtor, and the direct result is the life of the other party, what are you waiting for? It's clear that someone is playing tricks. ”

Ji Erlan's voice fell, and a gentle and dignified voice suddenly came from behind several people: "That's a good point. ”

Ji Erlan looked back and saw a middle-aged woman with calm eyebrows, steady demeanor, and brocade clothes walking towards this side. Fang Qingxue's eyes paused slightly, and then she stepped forward in surprise, grabbed the other party's arm with both hands, and said very affectionately: "Aunt Princess, you are here." ”

On the other party's face, there was originally some frost, but when he saw Fang Qingxue's brother and sister, he eased it slightly. "Good boy, what about your mother?"

Obviously, she came here for Mrs. Fang's affairs, and her face was so bad, she must have a close relationship with Mrs. Fang, and she was very worried. Fang Qingai took advantage of the gap between the two of them to speak, and whispered to Ji Erlan: "This is Princess Duan's mother. ”

King Duan is the emperor's uncle today, assisting Jinshang, and his status is noble, so Princess Duan naturally cannot be neglected. She hurriedly took a few steps, stepped forward with Fang Qingai, and made a blessing salute steadily: "Say hello to the princess." ”

Princess Duan's gaze looked at her, Fang Qingxue hurriedly took her hand and explained to Princess Duan: "Aunt Princess, this is my sister Erlan, Lord Ji's new inspector of the Imperial Palace, and she just arrived in Beijing yesterday. also lives in this alley, Sister Er Lan came with Mrs. Ji, she is a good person. ”

The words were clear and transparent, which not only showed Ji Erlan's identity, but also showed that although they met for the first time, they were very close to each other. Obviously, she was afraid that Princess Duan would blame Ji Erlan for speaking directly about the Fang Mansion.

Ji Erlan understood Fang Qingxue's intentions, raised her eyes and smiled at her.

Princess Duan's complexion was even more relaxed, and she looked at Ji Erlan carefully, although she was slightly thin, her eyebrows were clear and her behavior was decent, and her eyes were looking forward to Shenfei, seeing that she was not half timid, she couldn't help but smile and nodded: "It's a good boy." ”

Mrs. Fang had already been informed, and she was coming over at this time, and Ji Erlan took the opportunity to say goodbye to the Qin family.

Fang Qingxue sent her to the front of the mansion and said, "Thanks to Sister Erlan's words today, I really have a lot of relief in my heart. But whether the little cousin is dead or alive, and who is making trouble again, I still don't have a clue, and when the people from the little cousin's family come, they will definitely ask the teacher again, and then my mother will ......."

Ji Erlan is not an immortal, although he has the heart to help, but this is indeed not something that can be solved by saying that it can be solved. So he comforted: "Don't be too anxious, since the troublemaker behind him has something to ask for, he will inevitably show his feet, and I will help you find a way." ”

Fang Qingxue nodded again and again: "Well, Sister Erlan, you must come and talk to me again another day." ”

Ji Erlan said goodbye to Fang Qingxue and asked the Qin family, "Ah Niang, how is Mrs. Fang's temperament?" ”

"Mrs. Fang is a very good person, it's really pitiful that something like this happened in the family." Compared with the bad past in Yangcheng, away from Aunt Gu and those tainted relatives who praised the high and low, after seeing a knowledgeable and cultivated lady like Mrs. Fang, the Qin family seemed to have a different understanding and understanding of the interaction between the inner houses.

Seeing that the Qin family was quite sympathetic to Mrs. Fang, Ji Erlan asked with some curiosity: "Does A-Niang think Mrs. Fang is innocent?" ”

Qin Shi thought for a while: "I think that if a person really has the intention to harm others, he will definitely not leave so many words to criticize, and he will not be so worried afterwards, he will definitely try his best to cover it up, at least not let the streets and alleys spread so much." ”

This was completely Qin's subconscious intuition.

Ji Erlan looked at her in surprise, not thinking that the Qin clan was actually very sensitive and wise. smiled and said: "I have the same idea as A-Niang, since A-Niang and Mrs. Fang get along, it is better to walk around more, and it is good to give Mrs. Fang some comfort." ”

Qin nodded, and Ji Erlan followed her back to the main courtyard. The girls around them need to be added to each other, and all parts of the house need to be thoughtful. Otherwise, it will be inconvenient to come and go, and there will be a lack of care inside and outside. In the afternoon, the housekeeper will take the lady to the house and fill all the vacant positions in the house.

Ji Tianjiao sisters were also called out to personally choose the maids they looked at pleasing to the eye, this kind of thing, Ji Erlan will not interfere, they are all new faces, they like to pick who to pick, people see it accurately, whether it is good or not to use it afterwards, naturally they are also responsible for it. Ji Erlan wouldn't give them a chance to grab their own handles.

It's just that, at this time, according to the instructions of their father Ji Chenglin, everything is carefully followed by the rules of the capital, and there must be no transgression.

Therefore, the share of the concubine and the concubine in the house are different, and the people around him are naturally different, Ji Erlan has a housekeeper around him, two first-class girls, four second-class girls, two little girls, plus two grandmothers who are responsible for sundries.

Ji Tianjiao and Ji Rujun have two less second-class girls than Ji Erlan.

Ji Tianjiao angrily led the person he had chosen away, and gave Ji Erlan a 'don't be proud' look when she left. On the contrary, after Ji Rujun finished picking people, he thanked the Qin family in a proper manner, and said hello to Ji Erlan before leaving.

Ji Erlan raised her eyebrows, this has grown?

Back in the empty mountain building, Ji Erlan looked at the girls kneeling in front of him, including the previous twilight, a total of eight people. She spent half a cup of tea listening to the audience explain her background and what she was good at, and then said: "Except for Twilight, which is my first-class girl, several of you all start from third-class maidservants, and when the personnel are mature, I will watch the promotion." ”

With strife and interests, character is superior. She can naturally see the character and temperament of these girls from it.

Twilight understood what it meant, and secretly thought that this new master was a calculating, but she didn't expect Ji Erlan to value her so much, and she was a little surprised in her heart, so she thanked her a few words and took the little girls down to assign work.

Ji Erlan was idle for a while, picked up the bronze mirror, and carefully examined his face. These days are delicious, drunk and in a good mood, and the little face is also a little white and delicate, and the whole person no longer looks thin and light. The three of them brother and sister plus the Qin family have changed the most because she can eat the most! "Alas! If you want to live like you used to, live in such a garden, and eat such delicious food, you still need to work hard! ”

She was muttering to herself, and Ji Yun brought Ji Rong in: "Sister, what are you muttering to the mirror." Mother told us to come over for dinner. ”

Ji Erlan turned her head, her face was smiling like a magic stick, Ji Yun was startled, remembering that day when she was praised as 'the world's number one beauty', her proud appearance, couldn't help but shudder. Ji Rong took it seriously and came to Ji Erlan to take a closer look for a while, and said with a serious face: "Second sister has become beautiful!" ”

Ji Erlan's eyes lit up, and he patted Ji Rong's little brain melon with a smile, and said, "Good, the second sister will go out tomorrow to buy you something fun." After that, ignore Ji Yun and lead Ji Rong Shi Ran out of the house.

Ji Yun was inexplicable, so he saw Ji Rong holding Ji Erlan's arm while turning around and baring his teeth at him and 'hehe'. Ji Yun's eyebrows jumped twice, and he gritted his teeth and secretly shouted in his heart, when did this kid become so cunning!

Ji Yunwu was speechless for a while, raised his feet and followed the two of them, and went to the main courtyard together.

When Ji Chenglin first arrived in the capital, he was very busy, and he didn't go back to his house for dinner, and the four of Qin's mother and son had long been used to not having him, sitting around in groups, very naturally, and they didn't feel that there was anything missing.

The fragrant steamed white meat, Ji Erlan ate elegantly and quickly, and the brothers on the side looked at her dumbfounded, and suddenly felt that the delicacy in front of them was a little greasy. While adding food to her, Qin Shi said worriedly: "Er Lan, it's a good thing to have a good appetite, but you have a daughter's family, it's not good to eat fat......"
