Mu Xiang came to Ji Rujun's house, and it was already an hour later. Ji Rujun knew that Ji Tianjiao was difficult to serve, so she didn't blame her, but said with a very considerate concern: "Mu Xiang, the big sister is impatient, it's really difficult for you." In the future, if you have any difficulties, come and tell me, if I can help you a thing or two, even if I say something for you, it will not be too sad. ”

Mu Xiang stood respectfully in the middle of the room, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but raise her head and glance at Ji Rujun carefully, and secretly thought about the meaning of her words.

A few girls in the house, although Ji Erlan occasionally shows powerful means, she rarely has the mind to calculate the inner house, and she is busy with the outside affairs with the lord all day long, and she has made friends with powerful people such as King Du and Princess Duan, and her thoughts seem to be different from ordinary ladies, which makes people wonder through. And although Ji Tianjiao has the heart to calculate others, he has no brains, always lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot, and often makes himself shameless.

Only Ji Rujun, although she is young, she participates in everything and does not touch her body. is really like a deep daughter, who keeps the affairs of the inner house in his heart and understands the calculations.

Mu Xiang went back and forth in his heart, and felt that it would be a good thing if there was such a person who could help him. So she knelt down and kowtowed to Ji Rujun in a proper manner, and said gratefully: "Thank you three girls for being considerate of the slave maid, the slave maid is grateful." ”

Ji Rujun saw that she seemed to understand what she meant, so she asked Moyu to help her up, and muttered: "You also know that in this mansion, my eldest sister and I are in a difficult situation without our biological mother. The eldest sister often wants to compete with the second sister, but she can't. I'm her own sister, and I have to take her to heart, and there's no reason to look at her. ”

She had just passed her birthday, and now she was not yet ten years old, and her voice was still immature, but the meaning of her words was clear and precocious. "Today's big sister is so abnormal, I am worried, so I asked you to ask."

Mu Xiang heard her say this, and understood what she wanted to ask. Then he said: "The third girl's feeling is right, the eldest girl is indeed a little abnormal these days. It's just that the slave can't tell if it's because of that incident. ”

"It's okay, just tell me about it, I'll judge freely."

Mu Xiang said: "The eldest girl heard that the young master came to the house with a few classmates every day to study articles with her uncle, but because she was grounded, she could only stay in the yard all day and couldn't go out, and the young master didn't come to visit once, so she was a little irritable. Mu Xiang subconsciously stroked her arm, where there was still Ji Tianjiao's blood hole that she pricked with a thin needle when she was angry.

Ji Rujun noticed Mu Xiang's movements, and was slightly surprised, she didn't know that her sister would actually use such unpopular means to torture her personal maid.

Mu Xiang continued: "Later, the eldest girl heard that the young master often walked around his wife's courtesy, and asked a few times, and seemed to mind. Two days ago, the ban was lifted, and the young master happened to come to the house, and the eldest girl couldn't help but want to see the young master. Who knew that the young master was full of impatience, saying that he still had to talk to his uncle and others about business, and scolded the eldest girl for being ignorant...... Then the girl got angry, and even brought back the snacks she had sent to the girls to eat. ”

Ji Rujun thought for a while and said puzzled: "I don't think this is quite like what the eldest sister does, the eldest sister cares very much about this family matter, and usually shushes her cousin, and is very careful and considerate, how can she suddenly throw her face at her cousin?" ”

Mu Xiang wanted to speak and stopped, Ji Rujun looked at her and asked, "Is there anything abnormal?" ”

"This ...... The slave and maid couldn't say for sure, but they felt a little strange, and the three girls had the right to listen to it at will. Mu Xiang first excused himself, and then said: "When I went to see the young master that day, I first met Hong Gongzi on the road. The eldest girl was stunned for a while, the handkerchief was blown by the wind, and it happened to fly onto Hong Gongzi's robe, and both of them were blushing. Then Hong Gongzi picked up the handkerchief and handed it to the eldest girl, and hurriedly left. Originally...... The slave didn't take this to heart, but ...... In the past few days, the eldest girl has always pinched the square handkerchief in her hand......"

Mu Xiang's words seemed to mean something, Ji Rujun's eyebrows almost flew up when she heard this, and she asked: "The Hong Gongzi in your mouth is the one who took the exam at the same time as your cousin, and the one who has been in Beijing recently?" ”

"Exactly."

The surprise in Ji Rujun's eyes could hardly be hidden, what Ji Tianjiao said today was really strange, it was not like the way she had always behaved, plus what Mu Xiang said at this time, could it be that Ji Tianjiao fell in love with Hong Yan and wanted to regret her marriage? She opened her mouth to say something, but she didn't know where to start.

Ji Tianjiao's idea is really too whimsical......

Hong Yan is indeed in the limelight, not only because of his otherworldly appearance comparable to the Yan family, but also because of his outstanding personality and talent. Therefore, there are already many famous families in Beijing who are eyeing him, and there are many people who want to win him over, waiting to catch their sons-in-law under the list.

But what is Ji Tianjiao? A woman who has already been married, an incomparably ordinary soul among millions of people in the capital, is even of average appearance among the noble daughters of the family, and has no talent to do it.

Mu Xiang saw that Ji Rujun was a little stunned and didn't speak, so she asked tentatively, "What did the third girl think of?" ”

Ji Rujun raised her eyes to look at her, was silent for a moment, and said, "I can't say for sure, maybe the eldest sister is just upset because of her cousin's attitude." Muxiang, you go back first. If anything happens in the future, just come to me and tell me that if I can help you, I will do my best. ”

Mu Xiang looked at her, and she couldn't tell if she understood the meaning of her words, after all, Ji Rujun was still too young, and she might not have any concept of such a thing. "Yes, the slave and maid will go back first, and if the third girl has any problems, just tell the slave and maid."

Ji Rujun smiled and nodded, and asked Moyu to send her out. Looking back and thinking about the meaning revealed by Fang Cai Muxiang, I still feel a little incredible, could it be that Ji Tianjiao is really tired of Ruan Ning?

Mo Yu turned around and entered the room, and saw Ji Rujun sitting under the west window thinking about it, and something seemed to be flashing in her eyes, so she pushed a cup of hot tea to her and said, "Girl, look, do we want to persuade the eldest girl?" If she really does something out of the ordinary, it will inevitably affect the reputation of our house, and when you say goodbye, girl, you will also be dragged down. ”

Ji Rujun shook his head: "This matter makes me think about it again." You grind it for me first, and I want to draw another picture of the lotus hairpin, and show it to Song Yuning tomorrow. ”

Mo Yu persuaded: "The girl is still young, it is the time to grow tall, it is not advisable to work too hard, go to bed early, the lotus hairpin will have no eyebrows for a while, but it is in vain, and it is not too late to draw another day." ”

Ji Rujun shook her head and didn't speak, Moyu knew that she had made up her mind, so she had to go and polish the ink for her.

No matter what happens in the capital, it can't stop the people's homely cooking after tea and dinner, and the celebrities picking plums and cooking wine. Ji Erlan was dressed as a noble son, and walked on the bluestone path of the Duwangfu with familiarity, the dead leaves around were not swept away, and the red and yellow ones were half covered by the snow, which was not interesting.

Ji Erlan always likes such chic scenery, whether it is noisy or bleak. She couldn't help but stand there and watch.

"Isn't it cold?"

There was a question behind him, and Ji Erlan didn't have to look back to know who it was. She tightened her cloak and chuckled, "Looking at the dead leaves covered in snow, I unconsciously wandered. ”

Yang Zhen stood behind her, and when he saw her talking to herself without looking back, he was not annoyed. Seeing a few snowflakes falling on her black hair, she subconsciously reached out and wanted to brush it away, but her hand was halfway raised, and then it paused in mid-air, and then fell again. He stood quietly like her, and said for a moment: "Sometimes I see you doing things vigorously and resolutely, and you have more ghost ideas than anyone else, and it is surprising that you are alive. Sometimes I see you like a cold snowflake, only empty and deserted. ”

"When did the prince become so sentimental?" Ji Erlan turned his head and smiled at him, and then took the lead in walking towards Yang Zhen's study. Cangyatai is also generally arranged with Ji Erlan when he first came, but the difference is that there are a few more good things that Ji Erlan thinks are novel.

Yang Wei took the cloak that Ji Erlan took off very casually, and saw that she was still just an ordinary autumn shirt, so he asked, "It's already such a weather, why are you still wearing such a light one?" ”

Ji Erlan stroked the light green robe on his body, sat down casually, and said: "I often practice martial arts, I don't feel too cold, and I am still covered with the cloak you gave me, and I am not afraid of the wind." ”

Yang Zhen wanted to say something more, but he suddenly reacted and kept silent. The slight feeling of blockage in his heart made his brows frown inadvertently. Outside, fine snowflakes began to float again, scattered, like words dancing randomly, trying to combine them into a complete sentence, but there was no way.

Ji Erlan asked, "What's wrong with the prince?" What is the matter with calling me here today? ”

Yang Wei sat down opposite her, behind him was the Yunshan Pavilion, the four screens where immortals came and went, and the light and ethereal color lined him with a dark robe. "It's not that I have anything, it's yours."

"Mine?" Between the intersecting gazes of Ji Erlan and Yang Zheng, the cigarette smoke rising lightly in the blue and white sea-patterned incense burner seemed erratic and unreal. "What's the matter with me?"

"You yourself asked me to help you pay attention to the things, but you actually forgot all about them." Yang Zhen looked at her with some amusement and said, "It seems that you really didn't take your life experience to heart." ”

"Background? Is the prince talking about the news of the lotus hairpin? Ji Erlan was extremely surprised, since she heard the other party say that she had never seen this hairpin, she was relieved a lot, and then left it behind. I didn't expect to really ask him about something. "What kind of news is it, do you know whose hairpin it is?"
