When the Ruan family arrived in the capital, they wanted to get in touch with more contacts and dredge trade routes, so they naturally wanted to get closer to Ji Chenglin in order to get acquainted with the powerful people in Beijing. And Ruan Ning took the opportunity to come to ask for homework in the spring, and he walked around the two mansions more and more frequently.

Ji Tianjiao was confined in Lanruo Pavilion and was not allowed to go out, and she was anxious, always feeling that Ji Erlan's mother and daughter were the big sticks that beat mandarin ducks, which was extremely hateful. But Mu Xiang looked at it coldly, that Ruan Ning's mind did not grow on Ji Tianjiao, but he had to inquire about Ji Erlan twice out of three times.

Sure enough, a wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as stealing, and stealing is better than stealing. For men, the best that is always not obtained. In the past, Ruan Ning had Ji Erlan's family affairs hanging on him, but he felt that Ji Tianjiao was an excellent and attentive caring. This time, he changed Ji Tianjiao as his fiancée as he wished, and his eyes hung on Ji Erlan's body again.

Of course, Ji Erlan's reborn relationship is indispensable.

In the past, Ji Erlan was thin and small, no different from bean sprouts, but now he has grown up, not to mention, he has repeatedly shown his face in front of the middle and upper class figures in Beijing, and even in front of the emperor and the queen of heaven, he can do some errands, which is several times better than Ji Tianjiao, and men have to regret their intestines.

It's not that Ji Tianjiao can't see this, she just subconsciously avoids it, preferring to believe that Ruan Ning just doesn't have a chance to see her. "Today, will Cousin Ruan Ning come?"

Mu Xiang didn't show the ridicule in his heart, and said with a slight smile: "Our uncle in the house is also going to participate in this Spring Festival, even if the master is not in the house, the young master will often come to meet with the uncle, and sometimes call three or two classmates to come to the house as guests." But they are all in the front yard, and do not come to the back. ”

"No one else can come to the backyard, but my cousin can always come." Ji Tianjiao said angrily: "I heard that he often brings a lot of good things to honor the Qin family. Hum...... I don't know what kind of magic obstacle I have. ”

Ru'er heard this and glanced at Mu Xiang, Mu Xiang was silent, and Ru'er didn't make a sound. Mu Xiang said: "After all, Mrs. is the head of the house, and the young master is coming to the house, so there is no reason not to see him." ”

Ji Tianjiao looked at herself for a while, looked at the sunny sky outside, and said, "Mu Xiang, you comb my hair for me, and then find me a dress that matches my face." ”

Mu Xiang agreed, and said to Ru'er: "Ru'er, you let the little girl keep an eye on it, the Li Gongzi who was good friends with his uncle has already arrived at the house, and the young master will definitely come today, if he arrives, let someone come and inform him." ”

Ji Tianjiao glanced at Mu Xiang with satisfaction and said with a smile: "It's still your sweet girl." ”

When Mu Xiang heard this compliment, not only did she not feel happy, but her back was cold for no reason, and she suddenly remembered how Ji Tianjiao treated her like a beast during the days in Miaofa Nunnery. She paused before she came back to her senses and said: "That's natural, Mu Xiang has been following the girl since she was a child, and the girl's preferences and thoughts are clear to the slave and maid." ”

In the main room, Qin Shi was a little nervous and kept tidying up the hem of his clothes, wanting to smooth out those non-existent folds, and asked, "Is it feasible for me to do this?" If you lose your dignity in front of the princess, it's always bad. ”

Ji Erlan said with a smile: "A-Niang don't be nervous, Princess Duan can get along with Mrs. Fang, naturally she is not a tricky person, I have seen it a few times, you just need to be as usual." ”

Xiao Xun will soon enter the palace, and he wants to talk to Fang Qingxue, Ji Erlan and others before this. If it was in the palace, it would be a bit fanfare, where is Xiao Xun such a flamboyant character, Fang Qingxue proposed to go to the Fang Mansion for a small gathering, so Mrs. Fang invited Princess Duan and a few close people of the Qin family.

The mother and daughter went all the way out of the mansion and bumped into Ruan Ning coming over with a small servant.

Ruan Ning was both surprised and delighted, his eyes fell on Ji Erlan and he almost couldn't move away, and when he came back to his senses, he hurriedly asked the Qin family to say goodbye: "Uncle, where are you going?" ”

The Qin family is a good person, no matter what happened in the past, it is only when those things are over, after all, their life is very good now, with Ji Erlan's current appearance and ability, where will they be worried about marrying. Therefore, Ruan Ning often comes to honor her now, and she also resists the displeasure in her heart. "I was invited by Mrs. Fang to go to their house. You don't have to be polite, just go in, it's cold standing here. ”

Ruan Ning even claimed that it was, and at the end of the day, he couldn't help but glance at Ji Erlan several times. Ji Erlan only pretended not to see, bent his knees slightly to say hello, and helped the Qin family to leave.

Twilight Ye looked back and saw that Ruan Ning was still standing there without moving, so she snorted disdainfully and said to Twilight: "This cheeky one, I really gouged out her eyeballs and stuck them on the big girl!" Let him know where he should look! ”

Twilight sneered and whispered, "At first, he only went to greet his wife when he came, but since he happened to see the girl at her place, he has become more and more attentive about greeting her." I also came to say hello for lunch, and I also came to say hello before leaving. ”

"Yes, I want to see the girl a few times by asking for peace." Twilight said indignantly, "It's shameless enough." ”

Ji Erlan naturally heard the conversation between the two clearly, so he turned his head and glanced at the two of them. The two girls grinned, but they saw Ji Erlan's sneer and gaze suddenly paused in mid-air, like pouring half of the water, unable to go freely and smoothly, very uncomfortable.

Ji Erlan only felt that at this moment, it seemed to return to a point in the depths of her memory, and countless complicated emotions came to her face, making her breathe suffocated.

The Qin clan felt that Ji Erlan's footsteps stopped, so he also looked back, only to see a young man like a young man like a green pine in the moon walking behind Ruan Ning, so he smiled: "It turned out to be Hong Yan, your uncle said that he was the first on the list in Qiuqiu, and his character and reputation were all superior, and this time the top three in Chunqiu are expected." It would be of great benefit to have him come and mingle with your uncle often. ”

When Ji Erlan heard Qin's voice, his mind loosened from the woods, and he let out a 'hmm' sound, and turned his head away from looking.

Twilight Rain and Twilight Leaf glanced at each other, muttering a little in their hearts, the last time the girl saw this Hong Yan Gongzi at the Lantern Festival, it was such a soul out of the body, could it be that the girl was interested in this person?

Lan Ruoge, Ru'er pushed the door in, and saw that Ji Tianjiao was still looking left and right in front of the bronze mirror, so she said, "Girl, the young master is here." ”

Ji Tianjiao immediately frowned with joy: "Did he go to ask the Qin family for peace?" ”

Ru'er shook her head and said, "No, the wife and the second girl went out to Fang's house and met at the gate." So Young Master Cousin stayed in the front yard directly and didn't come to the backyard. ”

Because there are not too many people in the house, the back cover room is enough to be placed, so the inverted seat room in the front yard is vacated for Qin Cheng to open up another small study. Ruan Ning and the others came and went there.

Ji Tianjiao flicked his sleeves and said aggrievedly: "Why are you so unlucky!" ”

Ru'er said: "Anyway, the girl has lifted the ban, and she is not in a hurry to see Young Master Ruan Ning today." I heard that it was Princess Duan's niece Miss Xiao who was going to enter the palace, so today Miss Fang invited a few handkerchiefs to Fang Mansion as guests. Mrs. Fang also invited his wife to accompany her. ”

When the word 'handkerchief handkerchief' was mentioned, Ji Tianjiao felt extremely harsh. They all have someone to talk to, even Ji Rujun has climbed up to Song Yuning, she has been in the capital for so long, but she hasn't even handed over a close person. She thought about it, and she only had Ruan Ning as a person who knew her heart. "No, I must see my cousin today."

Mu Xiang remained silent, and didn't want to give Ji Tianjiao an idea at all, lest he have to suffer if something goes wrong when he gets it. Ru'er is not a person with many ghost ideas, so she persuaded: "Girl, there are not only young masters in front, but also others, if they collide, it will not be good." Let's do that another day. ”

Ji Tianjiao held back in Lan Ruoge for a full month, and at this moment he thought in his heart, where could he hold it for a while. "Apart from my cousin and that Li Gongzi, is there anyone else here?"

"There is also a son surnamed Hong, who also comes often." When Ru'er said this, two red clouds suddenly flew on her cheeks. "This Hong Gongzi took the top spot in the autumn exam, and he has an extraordinary appearance and a moderate demeanor. Everyone has said that he is this year's Tanhualang. ”

Ji Tianjiao raised her eyebrows and looked at Ru'er's face, and sneered: "The little hooves are moving the spring heart, can't you?" and they boasted of him, and there was nothing in heaven or on earth. ”

Ru'er hurriedly knelt down and explained: "The slave doesn't dare, but everyone who has seen it says so." ”

Ji Tianjiao was unconvinced: "Hmph, Ruan Ning's cousin is second on the list, and he is worse than him, it must be his luck for a while." ”

When Ru'er saw her like this, she also bowed her head and closed her mouth. Thinking of the chance bump into Hong Gongzi in his heart, he smiled warmly, almost making her life's heart bloom at that moment. She thought for a while and said, "Why don't you go and make some snacks, just say that the girl made it herself, ask Cousin Ruan Ning to bring it to the Ruan family's aunt, and the slave and maid will help you send it to the front, and by the way, please ask the young master to come to the back garden to talk to the girl, how about it?" ”

Ji Tianjiao suddenly laughed: "Good girl, that's it, then you go and prepare now." It's too late, and maybe they're going to go their separate ways. ”

Ru'er immediately responded with a smile and went with her hands and feet.

But after half an hour, Ji Tianjiao saw Ru'er come back with a food box, which contained all kinds of snacks, which were very delicate and sweet. After a little thought, she changed her mind and said, "I'm going to send it to my cousin myself." ”

Ru'er was stunned for a moment, and then said, "The slave maid is carrying a food box for you." ”

Ji Tianjiao said: "No need, you stay in the courtyard and let Mu Xiang follow me, after all, she followed me when I joked with my cousin in the past, if I changed people, I was afraid that my cousin would not be comfortable." ”

As he spoke, he beckoned Mu Xiang to pick up the food box and follow her to the front yard. Ru'er bit her lip, feeling some grievances and disappointments in her heart, but she didn't dare to make a sound, so she could only watch Ji Tianjiao leave. Mu Xiang glanced back at her thoughtfully, and took two steps to follow Ji Tianjiao.

When I got to the small study in the front yard, I saw a young man in a green shirt standing at the door with a small servant, saying goodbye to the people inside, as if there was something to leave first. Mu Xiang looked at the figure of the man, and said, "It seems to be that Hong Gongzi, the girl should avoid it first." ”
