Chapter 123: Seven Tricks
Yang Wei saw that Ji Erlan's eyes suddenly became brighter, and there was some worry in the brightness. He had already felt that Ji Erlan was different from ordinary ladies, all her attention was focused on a few big families, if the contact was imminent but she couldn't see the purpose, Yang Zheng was tempted, and subconsciously didn't want to disturb the tacit understanding between the two of them.
"I thought, since Da'an has never seen this thing, maybe the lotus hairpin is not my Anguo's thing at all. I sent the news to Yasukuni's informant, under the pretense of looking for a thousand-year-old blood jade, and secretly kept an eye on it. Unexpectedly, I really had a bit of eyebrows. "Yang Zhen had sent people to stay in Yasukuni for a long time many years ago, firstly to find out the news from all over the place, and secondly, to find out where his mother had been missing for six years.
"Yasukuni?" Ji Erlan was really a little surprised, could it be that her biological parents were actually not Anguo people? "There are many shops in Yasukuni that have handled good ancient jade, such as a rare and special quality like thousand-year-old blood jade, if it has appeared, it will definitely be remembered."
"Well, you're right, there's a shop called 'Seyu Pavilion'. The shopkeeper there said that the last time the thousand-year-old blood jade appeared was fifteen or sixteen years ago, it was a sensation, and the identity of the owner was unknown, but it was known that it was a young woman. ”
"Woman? Fifteen or sixteen years ago, probably two years before I was born. That Blood Jade Eight Achievement is the hairpin in my hand. Ji Erlan frowned and pondered for a moment, and said, "Do you know the identity of that woman?" Are they Yasukuni people? ”
The shopkeeper didn't know the specific identity of the woman, only that she seemed to want to sell the blood jade, but in the end, because there were too many people competing for it, there were a few chaos, and later, the woman and the blood jade were nowhere to be found. The shopkeeper was very talkative, but he said a lot of speculation. The most likely of these is that the woman was guilty of her crimes and was robbed of her wealth and killed. ”
In other words, it can only be determined that the blood jade has appeared in Yasukuni. And the clue is broken. ”
Yang Zhen let out a 'hmm' and didn't speak, just looked at Ji Erlan's expression lightly.
Ji Erlan walked to the partition window, looking at the fine snow flying outside, and his heart seemed to be a mess. At that time, Ji Erlan thought that her death was just because she couldn't calculate others, and thought that although Yan Hong didn't help her, she didn't harm her, she didn't resent others, she only blamed herself for not being capable.
However, when she was dying, she heard the secret words of Yan Hong and others. He said: "This lotus hairpin is very important, you have it well." At this point, Ji Erlan knew that everything was a scam, and her death may have been manipulated by Yan Hong, and he was the one who contributed to it.
She was reborn and returned, so she naturally wanted to find out what Yan Hong's purpose was, and she wanted to know who the 'you' in Yan Hong's mouth was? She wanted to know who she had died for. She wants to find out the truth and wash the Yan family in blood to avenge the revenge of her previous life.
But she didn't know that she was not Qin's biological daughter before, and thought that the lotus hairpin was really a gift from a nobleman, so she only thought that Yan Hong wanted to use the lotus hairpin to catch the so-called 'nobleman', so she didn't pay attention to the lotus hairpin.
And now, she knew that she was not the daughter of the Qin family, and that so-called 'nobleman' could be her relative. The origin of the lotus hairpin seems to be more complicated than she imagined, but how did Yan Hong know the secret of the lotus hairpin? Does his marrying of himself have anything to do with his own background? What does he mean by 'the importance of the lotus hairpin'?
Before Yan Hong recognized her ancestors and returned to her ancestors, she won the top of the list of three tripod armor as Hong Yan, and after joining the office, she won the trust of the emperor by herself, and was one of the emperor's henchmen, but she was trapped in the inner house and took care of herself, and she only knew so much. Now that I think about it, was Hong Yan alone before entering Beijing? He has been a wanderer since he was a child, and where did he grow up?
Thinking of this, Ji Erlan suddenly turned around: "Lord Wang, can you secretly investigate someone for me?" ”
Yang Zhen was a little surprised and the ruthlessness that flashed in her eyes, and then asked, "Who is it?" ”
"Hong Yan."
Yang Zhen raised his eyebrows slightly, and when he heard that the person Ji Erlan wanted him to investigate secretly was Hong Yan, a strange feeling faintly rose in his heart. On the day of the Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival, when Ji Erlan saw Hong Yan at first glance, the appearance of not possessing his soul is still deeply imprinted in his memory. At that time, he thought that she had something to do with Hong Yan, but now it seems that it is far from being as simple as he thought. From Ji Erlan's eyes, it can be seen that her feelings for Hong Yan are by no means simple, and even slightly complicated and hateful. "What do you want to know?"
"Past. His past before entering Beijing. "Ji Erlan has always wanted to start with the Yan family before, but now that she thinks about it, everything happened after 'Hong Yan' became Yan Hong, and now she wants to intervene in the Yan family, which is too abrupt and very difficult. Now she had suddenly pulled a thread out of the mess, and it was only natural that she had to smooth it out from here. "If my guess is correct, maybe Hong Yan once lived in Yasukuni, and the prince can follow this place to investigate."
Yang Zhen couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, he just told Ji Erlan that the lotus hairpin might be from Yasukuni, and she wanted to check Hong Yan, and made such a guess, could it be that Hong Yan is related to Ji Erlan's life experience? He looked at the slender but stubborn little woman in front of him and said, "Okay, I will give orders." ”
The overnight fine snow paved the entire capital with snow.
Song Yuning and Ji Rujun came out of the women's school, rode all the way together, and when they arrived at the fork in the road, Ji Rujun said: "Ah Ning, we'll see you tomorrow." ”
Song Yuning smiled and nodded, watching Ji Rujun get off the carriage and turn into the carriage of the Ji Mansion. Only then did he say to the maidservant next to him: "Ji Rujun is a clever and exquisite heart, she can think of things for me that I can't think of." ”
Rin Qiu said: "The situation of our second room in the house is really a bit complicated, the sixth girl has to worry about family affairs at a young age, where can she really take care of it so well, it is also a good thing that there is such a person around her who often reminds the girl a few words." ”
Song Yuning thought of the things at home, and couldn't help but look slightly gloomy, and said coldly: "Hmph, the third uncle is dead, what does it have to do with my father?" Grandmother pressed other people's faults in the second room, and she was an old fool. ”
"Oh, what are you talking about, girl!" Rin Qiu hurriedly went to Wu Song Yuning's mouth: "When this word spreads, the girl's careful curry favor for so many years will be in vain!" ”
"Hmph, I don't know. But I often think that I just can't swallow this breath. Obviously, the death of the third uncle, the biggest suspicion fell on the big house, but the grandmother ignored it and took the second room as a cut. You see the scenery of the big house for so many years, what about us? But you have to swallow your anger and be careful to please in every possible way! Why! ”
Song Yuning was cautious, but the second room was pressed by the big room everywhere, and the two sisters Song Yuheng were held in the palm of Mrs. Song's hands and entrusted with important tasks. And she herself, since she was sensible, was warned by her father and mother not to mess with the people in the big house, not to cause trouble, to please Mrs. Song, otherwise the second room will have no place in the Song family.
Of course, Rin Qiu knew the grievances in Song Yuning's heart, but he couldn't say this nonsense: "The people have a saying, 'After three bows and nine knocks, you will be the last trembling.'" 'Girl, don't lose a big thing because of a small thing, you must know that trouble comes from your mouth. ”
"I know, I'm just going to talk to you." Song Yuning exhaled a long breath, as if he wanted to spit out all the unwillingness in his heart.
Rin Qiu was still not at ease, and admonished: "There is also that third girl Ji, although she has the heart to make friends with the girl, she can't trust it too much." After all, it's an outsider. ”
"Well, where would I be so easy to relate to. Even their own sisters can't believe it, not to mention that others are just using each other and taking what they need. "Song Yuning has been mentioned by her father and mother since she was a child, she is very precocious, and she can be called a pair of villains with Ji Rujun." Ji Rujun is indeed a little smart, and she is also measured in her words and actions, and she can often help me everywhere. And she wants to borrow my hand to enter the circle of noble ladies, which is only a gesture for me. Why not? ”
"What I said is that she will win over people again, and her identity is limited to that, so she can't go past the girl, you can help her in a timely manner, and it's nothing to send favors."
The two were talking, and before they knew it, they had arrived at the gate of the Guogong Mansion. Song Yuning helped Rin Qiu's men get out of the carriage, and did not go back to the room to change clothes, but went directly to Mrs. Song's Evergreen Pavilion, she has always been like this, and she is full of Mrs. Song's favor.
"Let's go to the plum garden on the way to fold a few plum blossom vases for my grandmother. Grandmother must have loved it. Song Yuning is slender and tall, and has begun to draw strips, and has grown rapidly in the past year, and has faintly caught up with Lin Qiu, who is five years older than her.
Seeing that she had regained her well-behaved and supple appearance, Rin Qiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said in her heart, her own girl is a measured person in the end. Then he smiled and said: "This plum blossom is soaked in snow, and the fragrance is the most clear and good, and the old lady must like it." ”
The red plums in the garden were trembling slightly under the pressure of the snow, thick and faint, fragile and tough, and the fragrance lingered around the people who passed by. Song Yuning's footsteps paused in one place, staring at the half-opened buds in front of her and slightly distracted. The two of them didn't have scissors in their hands, so they could only fold them with their hands, and Rin Qiu saw that she seemed to take a fancy to the branch in front of her, so she stepped forward to help her break it.
Song Yuning stretched out his hand and said, "I'll come in person." ”
Rin Qiu said: "Girl, be careful of hurting your hand, let's come as a slave!" ”
"No, you don't." Song Yuning stretched out her hand and broke off the plum branch, and the flower branch really left a light mark on her hand. She looked at the branch and then at her hand, and suddenly slashed her finger with the break of the branch. The stinging pain accompanied by blood beads came from her fingertips, Song Yuning frowned slightly, but she didn't make a sound. But the autumn next to him 'oops': "Girl, you ......"
Rin Qiu didn't expect her to deliberately cut her hand, and she reacted instantly with a scream, thinking of her intentions, and swallowed the rest of the words back.
Song Yuning said: "It's okay, grandmother has good wound medicine there, let's just go over." ”
