Chapter 43: The Praying Mantis and the Yellow Sparrow
"Girl, although Su Langzhong's medical skills are very good, there are many well-known doctors in the capital, all of whom are time-honored brands, why do you have to invite this brother and sister to our house?" Seeing Ji Erlan's serious look, Twilight couldn't help but ask.
"This brother and sister have no roots, whether it is now or in the future, they can avoid many troubles, those who drag their families with their mouths, they will inevitably not be controlled by others when something happens, and there will be some moths." Ji Erlan said nonsense, not afraid that the two girls would not believe it, after all, such things are not uncommon, what kind of thing is threatened by Langzhong and poisoning the master's family, in a place like the capital, there are not ten but eight cases.
The two girls are really convinced, today they have also seen Ji Tianjiao's-for-tat, and if they don't keep it, they will have a bad heart one day. Twilight smiled, "The girl is really far-sighted. However, the girl asked the slave maid to inquire, as if she had known about them for a long time. ”
"Well, on the way to the capital, I happened to hear passers-by talk about it."
The three of them whispered while watching the movement of Baicaotang.
Outside the Baicaotang, there were many patients holding number plates in their hands and queuing up to see a doctor, and it was almost noon, and everyone also knew that Su Langzhong was about to rest, so they all dispersed temporarily. After a while, Ji Erlan saw a young man in white who came out of the Baicao Hall with a medicine box on his shoulder. She looked intently at the man's face and smiled.
Sure enough, it was Su Yu.
Ji Erlan saw the direction in which Su Yu left, calmly and leisurely got out of the teahouse, and when he left the crowded place, he quickly followed the two girls all the way.
In front of the teahouse, the carriage of the king of the ferry happened to pass by, and Lei Ze saw the figure hurriedly walking into the alley and let out a soft 'huh'.
"What's the matter?"
When Lei Ze heard the prince's question, he couldn't wait to slap himself in the mouth, how could he do something out of proportion when he met Ji Erlan! If this continues, he won't be able to hide his poisonous oath to the sky sooner or later...... "uh...... The subordinates just saw Miss Ji passing by, and there was nothing special. ”
Yang Zhen let out a 'hmm' sound, and after a while, he asked again, "What is she doing?" ”
The corners of Lei Ze's mouth twitched, and he knew that he couldn't get mixed up, so he had to say, "Miss Ji and the two girls went to the alley in men's clothes." ”
"Oh?" Yang Wei raised his eyebrows, stretched out two fingers to lift the curtain, glanced at the road, and ordered: "You go and see, what is she going to do." ”
Lei Ze smiled bitterly: "Yes, Lord Wang." With that, he handed the reins to the guards beside him, and chased after him.
This Ji Erlan fell far behind Su Luo, and saw him cross three intersections and turn into an alley. He stopped and waited for him to enter a courtyard, and then walked to the vicinity and took a closer look.
The fifth room in Shensheng Lane seems to be the place where Su Yu's brothers and sisters settled.
Every inch of land in the capital is expensive, the houses in this vicinity are not very large, the small square courtyard is only two houses side by side, and the only small piece of land in the courtyard is planted with some herbs, and there are medicine hoes and other things on the side.
"Let's go, let's go back first."
Ji Erlan can't get to know them so abruptly, if it's self-defeating, it won't be easy to do. A few people left quietly, as they came. Lei Ze looked at Ji Erlan who left suspiciously, and then looked at the ordinary small courtyard, and went back to his life in confusion.
After crossing the Wang's Mansion, Yang Zhen finished washing and changing, and Lei Ze was already waiting at the door of the study. Yang Zhen crossed him and sat down in front of the bookcase, frowning and looking at the extra porcelain bottle on the desk, which contained a budding white peony. "What is this?"
Together with Lei Ze, Lei Yue, who was standing at the door waiting for her life, jumped her eyelids, of course she would not be stupid enough to think that the prince was really asking what it was, so she walked to the front of the case and bowed down and said: "The subordinates saw that this white peony had the best posture, so they cut it off and put it in front of the prince's case." ”
"Take it."
The voice of the king did not fluctuate in the slightest, and there was no annoyance. But she still let Lei Yue's lips purse slightly, she stepped forward and carefully put a thin bamboo tube on a few cases, then picked up the porcelain vase and retreated to the door, handed it to a small servant, and confessed: "Send it to my room." Turning around to see Razor looking at her, she glared at him angrily and turned away.
Of course, Lei Ze knew that Lei Yue had thoughts about the prince, but he didn't think that a dead soldier or a guard should have such feelings.
There are a total of four people surnamed Lei, he is in charge of the prince's personal affairs, and Lei Yue is in charge of the information exchanged. The two of them had the most opportunities to see each other. He was thinking about whether to remind Lei Yue, so he heard the prince call him in.
"Lord Wang. The subordinates were ordered to follow Miss Ji, and saw Miss Ji following Su Langzhong from Baicaotang to Shensheng Lane, and after Su Langzhong entered the house, Miss Ji only glanced at the door and left. ”
"Su Langzhong?" Yang Zhen's hand holding the pen paused, a little surprised, looked up at Lei Ze, and asked, "What is she doing with a Langzhong?" What is so special about this Sulang? ”
Lei Ze said: "Su Langzhong sits in Baicaotang every day, has no parents and relatives, has only one sister, and is also well-versed in medicine, and is often invited by various prefectures to see a doctor for female dependents. The rest is nothing special. He thought for a while, and then said: "If you insist on saying that there is any difference, you can only say that this Su Langzhong is of good character and is a handsome son." ”
Yang Zheng listened silently, and the pen in his hand fell on the document in front of the case again, and he didn't make a sound for a long time.
Lei Ze bowed down and quietly retreated to the door, and suddenly heard Yang Zhen's tone slow and muttered to himself: "Jun Gongzi? ”
Lei Ze's forehead suddenly sweated, but fortunately, Yang Zhen didn't say anything more, he secretly let out a sigh of relief, praying that he would not see this Ji girl again, so what kind of grace, it will be okay to report it in the next life, right?
Ji Mansion, Lan Ruo Pavilion.
Ji Tianjiao crouched on the bed and cried fiercely, a few girls, you push me, I push you, no one dared to step forward, they all stood on the side silently. Mu Xiang came from Yangcheng, and her qualifications are a little older than others, but she also understands Ji Tianjiao's temperament better than others! I don't want to touch the mold at all.
She glanced at the green frieze and asked her what to do with her eyes.
The green frieze was left in the original mansion, and was selected by Ji Tianjiao to his side, with a sweet mouth, and willing to follow Ji Tianjiao's temperament, and was soon mentioned to the first-class girl, and took care of Ji Tianjiao with Mu Xiang, which won Ji Tianjiao's trust.
The green frieze despised Muxiang in her heart that it was difficult to succeed, but she nodded at her face, and seeing that Ji Tianjiao was almost crying, she stepped forward and said: "Girl, why did you come here, crying hurts, in the end, it is your own body, how can others have less meat?" Besides, where is this going, and you are discouraged? ”
Ji Tianjiao turned around and sat up from the bed, her eyes planted like walnuts: "Then you say, what else can I do, Daddy wasn't like this before, just because I sued Ji Erlan for being bad, Daddy will definitely punish her!" It's good now, Ji Erlan coaxed Daddy with a few painless words! Ignore my grievances at all! ”
Lu Lin sighed in her heart that she was unlucky, how could she be chosen by a concubine master, but the matter has come to this, she can only serve with all her heart, otherwise, the master is not good, and she will not be able to make a good profit. "Girl, this time is different from the past, in the past, the Ji family lived in Yangcheng, and many of the rules were not as strict as the capital, the lord naturally followed the girl in every way, and now the lord must still love the girl, but because of some rules."
"You mean, Daddy is in the way of the rules of the capital?" Ji Tianjiao gritted his teeth: "But even if this is the case, Daddy shouldn't protect Ji Erlan everywhere!" ”
"This time, because of the second girl, the master made another meritorious service, and won the friendship of the Fang family, Duan Wang Ye took a fancy to him, and the master inevitably changed his opinion of the second girl." The green frieze has served several masters, but they are not very successful, this time she got Ji Tianjiao's blue eyes, she naturally wants to behave well: "However, the girl doesn't have to be too anxious, you must know that compared to the competition with her own family, the battle between the ladies of various mansions is real!" ”
"You...... What does this mean? ”
The green frieze tidied up Ji Tianjiao's dress, turned around and ordered everyone else to go down, and then said to Ji Tianjiao: "The girl was originally favored by the master, as long as she doesn't make the master angry, it won't be anything." And the second girl is going to go to the women's school in a few days, but as soon as she arrives in the capital, she has a conflict with the eldest girl of the Cheng family, and it is unknown whether it is a blessing or a curse! ”
"You mean, it's not necessarily a good thing for her to go to girls' school?" Ji Tianjiao knew that Ji Erlan could go to women's school, and she was about to go crazy with jealousy!
"Yes, girl, the eldest girl of the Cheng family has been favored since she was a child, and her aunt is a concubine, she has a domineering temperament, everyone knows it, she will not expose this matter easily. Besides, I don't know how many noble girls in Jingzhong are willing to tie up with her, and when she goes to women's school, it is inevitable to deal with the second girl in order to please Miss Cheng. ”
"However, wasn't that incident suppressed by King Du? What else do they dare to do? ”
The green frieze smiled: "The girl doesn't know, the ladies in Beijing have more or less some admiration for the prince, although they may not be able to get the prince's favor, but after all, they can't get it, and they don't want others to get it. Therefore, the second girl will inevitably become the target of public criticism. No one will come out in the open, but there are many ways to do it in the dark, and the girl will know it slowly. ”
Ji Tianjiao was a little stunned: "King Du? What kind of person can get so many women's hearts? ”
Green frieze didn't expect her first reaction to be the prince of Du, and after thinking about it, there was nothing wrong, they were all newborn girls in their cardamom years, and it was normal to pay attention to these things. "Yes, girl, Lord Du is naturally not an ordinary person."
Ji Tianjiao is a betrothed person, and his thoughts are actually more on Ruan Ning, and he is looking forward to Ruan Ning coming to Beijing as soon as possible. But even so, it can't stop a girl's curiosity about excellent men.
She suddenly remembered that dress again, it was obviously the favorite style of the ladies in Yangcheng, why was it so bad when she arrived in the capital? Could it be that the sons of the capital are also better than Yangcheng?
