Ji Erlan shook her head without hesitation: "Since the prince thinks so clearly, naturally there is no need to think about it anymore." ”

Yang Zhen felt a trace of indescribable unhappiness in his heart for no reason, and with a faint 'um', there was no follow-up.

Ji Erlan didn't pay attention to his expression, but picked a piece of crab roe crisp and squeezed it in his hand and tasted it, and then said after a while: "So when is the prince going to start this matter?" ”

At that time, when Yang Zhen asked her to 'thank and repay her kindness', she didn't make it clear whether she could complete the task by thinking of a way, or whether she could complete the task only if she became a family, so Ji Erlan asked tentatively. "There shouldn't be any place for me to help with the rest of the matter, right?"

Yang Zhen noticed Ji Erlan's careful thoughts, turned sideways and glanced at her, and said, "Of course there is." Before asking to marry Xiao Xun, she always has to find out the other party's intentions, in case she is not willing to marry this king, what will happen when the time comes, will there be a mess of crying, making trouble and hanging herself, won't it ruin the image of this king's wisdom and martial arts? ”

Ji Erlan looked at him speechlessly: "Is there any little lady in the capital who is unwilling to marry you?" ”

Yang Zheng's gaze stayed on her for a long time, watching her swallow the whole crab roe cake, changed the topic, and said: "On the Double Ninth Festival, a feast will be set up in the palace, and it is a good opportunity to invite the ladies of all provinces to the palace to gather and have fun. ”

Ji Erlan blinked: "My father's official residence is sixth, and my aunt has no fate, so I can't enter the palace." ”

"Leave this matter to me."

Autumn colors are so cool that a day is as cool as a day.

Ruan Ning won the second place on the laurel list, and while the Ruan family was overjoyed, they naturally did not forget to send good news to their relatives and friends. Ji Chenglin had already learned about this from Qin Chengkou, but when he received the letter from the Ruan family, he also brought another piece of news.

Ji Rujun put down her chopsticks, rinsed her mouth, looked at Ji Chenglin and asked. "Daddy, is the second uncle also moving to the capital?"

Ji Chenglin nodded and said, "Your second uncle is going to follow the Ruan family into Beijing this time to buy a house." ”

The Ruan family had long had the idea of moving their family to the capital, and they had already set up a house in Qi Shengfang before, but this time they took advantage of Ruan Ning's spring to leave. And Ji Erbo's family, in addition to being in-law with the Ruan family, also has a lot of cooperation in business, and they have always been very close. Ji Erlan said: "Qishengfang is a lively place in the capital, and many merchants are willing to go there to buy a house, which is also good for business, and the second uncle must also want to buy a house there." ”

Ji Chenglin watched his younger brother become richer and richer, and his heart was not sour. "The Ruan family and the Meng family in the capital have had some business contacts in recent years, and your second uncle's family has also been stained with a lot of light."

Ji Erlan smiled and said, "Although the Meng family is an imperial merchant, it is inseparable from the relationship with the household department, and it also has a pivotal position in Beijing. ”

Ji Chenglin nodded approvingly.

Ji Rujun didn't understand these things in the officialdom, thinking about the urging in Ji Tianjiao's letter, he turned to Ruan Ning: "Daddy, Ruan Ning's cousin Qiu Yan did so well in the exam, presumably the Spring Festival will also go very well, right?" ”

Ji Chenglin shook his head and said: "The young talents of all state capitals will come to the capital after passing the autumn festival, and there will be many talented people, including many scholarly families and famous families, and it is not easy to get into the exam." "He himself was in danger back then.

Ji Rujun took the opportunity to say: "If Cousin Ruan Ning can successfully pass the Spring Festival, I think the eldest sister will be very happy." Ji Erlan understood the meaning of her words, and did not answer. Listening to Ji Rujun continue: "Daddy, it's better to take the big sister back in a few days." When the time comes, the uncle and aunt of the Ruan family will come, and they will see each other. ”

Of course, Ji Chenglin had also received Ji Tianjiao's urging before, but the matter of offending the Yan family made him not very happy. Ji Tianjiao was so useless, he couldn't even explain the matter clearly, and he wanted Ji Erlan to help him speak, so he didn't bother to pay attention to it. It seems that letting Ji Tianjiao suffer a little more can relieve his depression.

However, it is true that the Ruan family must not be allowed to pay attention to this matter, so as not to cause extraneous complications. He frowned and said, "What Ah Jun said is reasonable, tomorrow someone will bring Tianji back from Miaofa Nunnery." ”

Ji Rujun peeked at Ji Erlan, who was unresponsive, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Everyone heard Ji Chenglin ask the Qin family: "Is my uncle still used to living in the mansion?" If there is anything lacking, and if there is anything missing, you will look at it and buy it for him. ”

Qin Shi was a little flattered, stunned for a moment, and hurriedly smiled and said, "It's all good, you have to worry about it." ”

This time it was Ji Chenglin's turn to be stunned for a moment, he looked at the Qin family, the person was still the same person, but his behavior and words were very different from before, but he couldn't say what the difference was. "Hmm...... That's good. ”

Actually, he didn't feel good at all.

Since he was transferred to Dali Temple, he has been thinking about the affairs of the Qin family in his heart, but he is busy with official affairs, and he can't care about it so much, so he can only drag it out first. Until some time ago, when the official affairs came to an end, Qin Cheng went to Beijing and lived in the mansion. Ji Chenglin was deeply troubled, and he suddenly found that the Qin family had recently met a lot of Houzhai ladies through Mrs. Fang, and they all got along well. If this continues, if the Qin clan has a 'good guy', there will be too many people paying attention.

Qin didn't know what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "If the eldest brother can make a name for himself in the Spring Festival, it must be beneficial to the master." ”

Ji Chenglin is not optimistic about Qincheng at all, it took four or five times for Qiu Cheng to pass the exam, and where is it so easy for Chun Xu, so he only let out an absent-minded 'um'.

Ji Erlan looked at Ji Chenglin's face, did not speak, and clenched the hand in his sleeve tightly. Even if Qin Cheng passes the exam, if the ranking is too inconspicuous, he will just let go of the foreign appointment to be a magistrate, and he can't stay in the capital, so there are dispensable benefits, how can Ji Chenglin look at it?

On the second day, Ji Tianjiao finally returned to Ji Mansion from Miaofa Nunnery, and he had the urge to cry. The bitterness in the nunnery, she really didn't want to think about it anymore.

The green lintel stood aside, his right hand hanging weakly, watching Mu Xiang busy serving Ji Tianjiao to wash and bathe, his face was very ugly.

It just so happened that at this time, Ji Tianjiao beckoned: "Green frieze, come and help me comb my hair." ”

The green frieze turned pale and stood there without moving. Ji Tianjiao frowned and looked back, and was about to open her mouth to reprimand, when she suddenly remembered that her hand tendons were broken, and she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Ji Tianjiao was sent to Miaofa Nunnery on the second day of the incident, when Lu Lintel was still in a coma, and the two had not had a chance to talk. She thought about it, and suddenly went over and grabbed the green frieze, showed pity on her face, and asked, "Green frieze, is your injury better?" ”

The green frieze trembled her lips and said, "The slave's right hand can no longer be used......

Ji Tianjiao comforted her for a few words, and then asked: "The events of that day are really too strange, green frieze, do you see clearly, who hurt you?" ”

She had always been very puzzled in her heart, even if Yan Lingtian wanted to kill her, she should have killed the Qin clan first, shouldn't she? But the Qin clan and Ji Erlan are fine. Therefore, Ji Erlan has long seen through this matter and responded to it. She couldn't imagine that Ji Erlan really had the ability to resist Yan Lingtian?

"On that day the slave and maid kept vigil outside. There was a sharp stabbing pain in his wrist, and then a black shadow flashed in front of him, and he didn't know anything. I didn't see anyone at all. ”

"In other words, you didn't have a fight with anyone at all?"

The complexion of the green frieze changed. The reason why she can still stay in the mansion is because the 'protector' is injured. If there is no such thing as a 'protector' at all, how long can a person like Ji Tianjiao endure her? She hurriedly said, "It was the slave maid who heard the movement first, got up to see if the girl had any orders, and saw it...... A dark shadow was about to go to the inner room, and he was about to make a voice to warn the girl. ”

The green frieze lowered her eyes, and a string of tears crackled and fell: "But the sound of me getting up alarmed the man, and the man turned around and stabbed me, and I only had time to raise my hand to block it, and then I tripped and fainted." ”

Ji Tianjiao was very depressed, she didn't kill anyone, but the events of the day had already spread like that. Thinking about it in hindsight, while helping her get rid of the suspicion of murder, Ji Erlan also set her aside.

Although others already know the 'truth' and think that she killed someone because of self-preservation, a woman in the house used a knife, which is always too terrifying. Fortunately, she has already settled on a family affair with Ruan Ning, and she is not worried that she will be affected by irresponsible remarks in the future.

She calmed her face and said, "If that's the case, who made the knife on Fuka's chest?" Is it really Ji Erlan? How dare she? ”

The green frieze didn't answer, but she knew in her heart that the person who broke her tendons was not Fuka. At the moment of fainting, she saw two dark shadows in the room. That is, it was all arranged by someone else. Someone killed all the people she brought with her, and then threw them in Lan Ruoge and set up a game.

The purpose is to let Ji Tianjiao suffer the consequences. And her right hand is the punishment and warning given to her by the other party, because she helped Ji Tianjiao harm others. And this person who saw through their conspiracy didn't have to think at all, who else could there be besides Ji Erlan?

The green lintel bit his lip stubbornly, although the mastermind was mired in gossip, he was unharmed, why did he become a cripple!

Mu Xiang combed Ji Tianjiao's hair and said, "Girl, in the future, the green frieze will not be able to serve the girl closely, so it is better to bring up a second-class girl." Then she looked back at the green frieze, her face sympathetic, but her eyes were mocking, and said, "As for the green frieze, let her do what she can." ”

"That's it." Ji Tianjiao didn't look back, looked in the mirror and smiled with satisfaction, and sighed: "It's still good at combing hair with Mu Xiang." ”

"That's nature, when I was in Yangcheng, it was the slave who combed the girl's hair." Mu Xiang said, seeing the appearance of the green frieze gritting his teeth from the bronze mirror, and smiled: "However, what can the green frieze do?" ”
