Chapter 146: Currying Favor (1)
Ji Chenglin sat down with half of his buttocks, and listened to Yang Zheng talk about the things in the Yan family's secret room from beginning to end almost the whole time, and at the end, he was so shocked that he forgot to answer.
Yang Wei put down the teacup in his hand, slowed down a little, and said: "The Yan family will definitely give you an explanation for the grievances suffered by Miss Ji Er." Her injuries have been healed by the king, and later Master Ji will take her back to the house to recuperate. The stakes are very high, and the palace must have to explain to the king himself, so he won't accompany Lord Ji much. ”
Ji Chenglin hadn't had time to digest the matter of Fang Cai, and at this time, he was taken aback by the 'dispatch' of the king of Du: "The prince ......"
Yang Zhen had already turned around, but when he heard the words, he turned around again, and wondered: "Is there anything else to Master Ji?" ”
Ji Chenglin opened his mouth, but he didn't dare to ask. Although many people have seen King Du personally rescue Ji Erlan and bring him back to the house for medical treatment, looking at King Du's appearance, it seems that he has no intention of accepting Ji Erlan...... Of course, he himself was desperate, but people didn't seem to think about it at all? He snorted and reluctantly spoke: "Xiaguan's daughter...... She ......"
King Du's face was still the same cold look, looking at Ji Chenglin who wanted to speak and stopped, he naturally knew what he was thinking about, but Ji Erlan had already said that there was no need to force this matter! Thinking of this, Yang Zhen's face was a lot colder. said: "If Lord Ji wants King Xie Ben, then there is no need. This king once owed her some favors, and this time it can be regarded as repayment. ”
After that, he turned around and walked out of the flower hall, leaving Ji Chenglin who was still stunned. He blinked, what does the prince mean, this time to save him, is it because he owed her daughter a favor? In this way, Er Lan really has some friendship with King Du, and he doesn't want to be what outsiders think.
Ji Chenglin thought like this, a little disappointed, and secretly rejoiced after the disappointment. No matter how favored a concubine is, it may not be able to blow the wind on the prince's pillow, and it will not last long to show people. If his daughter can become friends with the prince, that is the long-term solution......
He couldn't help but show a little satisfaction on his face, and walked out of the flower hall with his hands behind his back, and a palace attendant stepped forward and said respectfully: "Lord Ji, the prince has explained, Miss Ji is seriously injured, and she has slept with medicine at this time, Lord Ji might as well wait here, and it is not too late to leave when Miss Ji wakes up." ”
Ji Chenglin hurriedly said yes, turned around and went back to the flower hall to sit, and the maid changed the tea again and served snacks and fruits. He was secretly surprised in his heart, it seemed that the prince took good care of Er Lan. If the Jifu is higher, Er Lan may not be able to climb to the position of Princess Du. Thinking of this, he thought of himself again, Xue Jingzhi, the secretary of Dali Temple, gave his niece to himself, and was introduced by his student Xie Tangqian in the middle, which actually understood the meaning.
Waiting for Xue Jingzhi to tell the old, Xie Tang will take his position, and he has the relationship with Xue Baoyue, and he has a little appreciation from the prince Duan, presumably the position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple will not be able to run away from him. In this way, he has also bought the hurdle of the five-rank official, and in the future, he will also be the one who will go to the court every day.
Thinking of the current situation, Ji Chenglin couldn't help but think of what happened in the Yan family today.
The four major families of Borscht and Yancheng. The Luo family is the maiden family of Princess Duan, and no one can match the century-old family heritage. On weekdays, it is not visible, but no one dares to underestimate it. The Song family is the emperor's foreign family, with the Empress Dowager Song in charge, plus the control of the future queen, not to mention. And the Yan family and the Cheng family, one prime minister and one general, are equally divided.
Now that something like this has happened to the Yan family, it is not easy to deal with the face. If one is not careful, it is also possible to capsize the boat in the gutter, although the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, but it cannot stand the eyes of several other forces and make a hindrance from it. When the time comes, the Yan family's momentum will be weak, will any force take advantage of the situation?
The more Ji Chenglin thought about it, the more far-reaching it became, and more than an hour passed in a blink of an eye, and someone had already come to report that Ji Erlan had woken up and had already gotten into the carriage and was waiting for him at this time. He politely thanked him and hurriedly left the house. Seeing Ji Erlan's split, he wanted to ask Ji Erlan the details of today's Yan Mansion accident, but was blocked by Ji Erlan's cough, he swallowed the question back with a little embarrassment, and said instead: "How is Erlan's injury?" ”
Ji Erlan slept for a while, and his face recovered a lot, but he didn't have a little blood. She bowed slightly, and replied, "Father has kept me waiting." Er Lan is fine, and he will be fine after a period of cultivation. ”
Ji Chenglin hurriedly raised his hand and pressed it weakly, and said, "Lie down well, what are you and my father and daughter doing with this polite book." ”
Ji Erlan nodded, she didn't want to say more, but it was impossible for Ji Chenglin not to ask. Sure enough, as soon as she lay down peacefully, Ji Chenglin asked, "Is it true that Yan Ling captured the girl alive to make incense?" Also, why is she so bold as to target you? ”
"Yes, Yan Ling listened to the belief in the immortal art of retaining Yan, and it was really unexpected to do such an unbelievable thing, and now that the East Window incident has happened, it will definitely eat its evil consequences." Ji Erlan didn't mention Yan Yan's matter, but explained according to the well-known reason: "She is bent on becoming the princess of Du, and she listens to rumors, thinking that the prince has something to do with me in private, and under jealousy, she wants to put me to death." ”
Ji Chenglin sneered: "This is bullying my Ji family's low-level family? ”
Ji Erlan was noncommittal, in her opinion, if she was really killed by the Yan family, Ji Chenglin would not make a big fight for her. "What Yan Xiang said, the rest of the Yan family doesn't know about this matter."
"Even if Yan Lingtian did it alone, the reputation of the Yan family will inevitably be implicated." Ji Chenglin has a lot of eyes, and he can see the key at once.
Ji Erlan nodded and said: "Although the power of the Yan family is deep-rooted, it also has to care about the gains and losses of people's hearts, after all, there are many mouths in the world, and one person can drown them with a mouthful of spit." The women who were caught, if they died, would be fine. As long as they live, the Yan family will not want to expose this matter easily, and it is inevitable that they will be infamy. I must have kept a low profile for a long time and kept my head down. ”
"These words, did the prince say them?" Ji Chenglin's eyes flashed slightly and asked.
Ji Erlan smiled, knowing that Ji Chenglin was testing King Du's actions and attitude, so he said, "How come?" It's just some humble opinion of my daughter. ”
Ji Chenglin nodded suspiciously, and the two stopped talking from then on, until they got out of the carriage in front of Ji's mansion, and a few maidservants such as Dui Ye carried Ji Erlan off the carriage, and Ji Chenglin said again: "Good life will be raised." ”
Half a month passed in a flash, and Ji Erlan could barely walk.
As soon as I had breakfast that day, I heard a crisp voice outside, "Where is the second sister in the house?" ”
In a blink of an eye, Dusk Dong was brought into the house and said, "Girl, the third girl is here with the six girls of the Song family." ”
"Song Yuning?" Ji Erlan was a little surprised. During the time when she was injured, Cheng Xiaoxiao and Fang Qingxue almost grew up in Jifu, as long as they were fine, they took root in the empty mountain and small buildings, and the county lord of Yuanyang also came a few times. The friendship is average, and the excuse is to wait for her to take care of her body and then bother, just send some tonic herbs. But Song Yuning, what is she here to do?
The relationship between the two of them is incompatible, and they are several years apart, and they don't have any contact on weekdays, and they haven't said a few words, could it be that Ji Rujun remembered something?
Twilight was also a little strange: "Anyway, the girl still doesn't make people wait. ”
Ji Erlan nodded and asked her to invite someone in. After a while, I vaguely saw a freshly dressed girl coming down the corridor from the window, the delicate irises on the skirt jumped and flowed with her movements, very eye-catching, she was about the same height as Ji Rujun, but her demeanor was much more calm and decent.
Seeing that her face was happy and her eyes were smart, Ji Erlan became more and more puzzled. Ji Rujun just said, although she didn't come to visit out of sincerity, she did her sisterhood, and pretending to be obedient was her norm. But what did Song Yuning come to see her for? Is it just curiosity?
When the people arrived in front of them, before Ji Erlan could speak, Song Yuning first saluted with a smile: "Sister Erlan, you were just injured when you came last time, Yu Ning didn't dare to bother, today I went to the house, and I heard Ah Jun say that you are much better, so I came to visit, please forgive Yu Ning for being abrupt." ”
Ji Erlan was even more surprised in her heart, this crackling lot of words, polite, close and concerned, she was really a little girl who could talk. She hurriedly said: "Sister Yuning came to me, I'm too happy to be too late, how can I feel abrupt." I have limited mobility, so my sister must not say that I am neglected. Twilight, you go make some honey tea. ”
"Where." Song Yuning's eyes lit up, Ji Erlan actually knew that she liked to drink honey tea, she followed the guidance of Twilight and sat nearby, and her concern was overflowing. "I've heard about the origin of my sister's injury, but I really didn't expect it. I was scared to death that such a lonely and cold person on weekdays could do such an inhumane thing in private. Fortunately, my sister Ji Ren Tianxiang did not follow her way. ”
Ji Erlan looked at the little girl in her early teens in front of her, and admired the five-body throw to the ground, such a mental speech, it is no wonder that the situation in the second room will improve. It's just that although Song Yuning behaves appropriately and speaks generously, she is full of intimacy, what is it for? While paying attention to her expression, she said, "Yes, I am also glad that I have a great life. ”
Song Yuning smiled, beckoned the girl behind her, brought a pot of Molan to Ji Erlan's eyes, and said, "Yu Ning heard Ah Jun say that my sister likes exotic flowers and plants, and it is rare to have such a Molan at hand." My sister is injured and has difficulty moving, so let's stay at hand and play. ”
Although Ji Erlan was confused, his face was not revealed, and he only looked at this Mo Lan carefully. The color of the whole orchid is eye-catching, and two flowers have been opened, such as Xiangluan and the phoenix, the color is dark purple, and there are thousands of forms. It's a rare condition. "The purple orchid is beautiful and empty, and the dew is gloomy. It's a great orchid. ”
As soon as Song Yuning heard Ji Erlan's comments, she knew that the other party understood very well, and knew that she had not sent it wrong, so she said, "It's good if my sister likes it." ”
