In less than half a pillar of incense, Chun Tao came back, her eyes were bright, and she couldn't wait to lean into Ji Yunyun's ear and whispered, "Girl......"

As soon as he opened his mouth, he remembered that Ji Yunshu was also there, and hurriedly swallowed all the words behind him.

Ji Yunshu looked at the mysterious appearance of their master and servant, and asked with a smile: "Why do you want to avoid me?" ”

Ji Yunyun nodded towards Chuntao, "Big sister is not an outsider, you can say it directly." ”

Chun Tao said: "Hongyun said that she saw Xing'er crying and running out of the Lu family's cousin's house at noon yesterday, and when she bathed at night, she found that she had a few more whiplash wounds on her body. ”

Whiplash? Ji Yunshu didn't know what they were talking about, and his face was inexplicable.

Ji Yunyun explained to her: "Xing'er is the maid next to Cousin Lu, I accidentally found that she had injuries on her body, let Hongyun in her courtyard pay attention, it turned out that Xing'er was injured with a whip, I suspect that Cousin Lu did it." ”

Ji Yunshu was dumbfounded when he heard this, and said in surprise: "Why did Cousin Lu whip her personal maid with a whip?" ”

"I'm wondering about that, too." After Ji Yunyun finished speaking, he turned his head and asked Chun Tao, "Hongyun didn't ask Xing'er, what's the matter with the injuries on her body?" ”

Chun Tao said: "Hongyun asked, but Xing'er covered it up and only said that she accidentally injured it." Hongyun was worried that she would ask too much, and Xing'er would go to tell the Lu family cousin girl, which would arouse the vigilance of the Lu family cousin girl, so she didn't ask too much. ”

Ji Yunshu was still immersed in the surprise of this news, and only said after a while: "I didn't expect Cousin Lu to be gentle and delicate on the surface, but behind her back, she beat and scolded her subordinates. No matter how big a mistake a person makes, he will be driven out or sold, so what's the matter with staying by his side and beating and scolding him from time to time? ”

"Maybe Xing'er didn't make a big mistake, but it just happened to stimulate Cousin Lu." Ji Yunyun lowered her eyes and muttered to herself, and suddenly asked Chun Tao: "Did Hongyun say that what was Cousin Lu doing before she saw Xing'er crying and running out of Cousin Lu's house?" ”

"It should have been at the old lady's place before, Hongyun said that yesterday morning, the girl of the Lu family went to Rongshan Hall to talk to the old lady, and had lunch before returning to Wutong Garden. The maids in the courtyard were resting, she drank too much water and got up to go to the thatched house, only to see Xing'er crying and running out of the Lu family's cousin's house. After Chun Tao finished speaking, she remembered and said: "Oh, by the way, Hongyun said that the eldest young master was also in Rongshan Hall yesterday, and Xing'er accidentally spilled tea on the eldest young master's body, and the eldest young master left early." ”

Yes, big brother, in the last life, Lu Sisi beat and scolded her subordinates because she felt that her subordinates were seducing her big brother.

Ji Yunyun's mind was racing, and she had an idea in her mind, she smiled and said to Ji Yunshu: "Big sister, I have a way to know why Cousin Lu wants to beat and scold Xing'er, but I have to ask my big brother for a favor." ”

In the Wutong Garden, Lu Sisi sat on the couch in front of the window and looked at the freshly embroidered sachet. This sachet was embroidered by her for her eldest cousin, and thinking of her tall and handsome eldest cousin, she couldn't help but smile on her delicate little face.

Although she had never met this eldest cousin, she had heard of him at a very young age, and knew that he was the eldest son of the Guogong Mansion and was going to inherit the title. Yunzhou is far away from the capital, and the two of them are negligent in moving, how many noble girls in the capital, she never thought that she would one day have the opportunity to become the young lady of the national mansion.

"Girl, the young master is here." The curtain of the door was lifted, and the maid Zisu brought from Yunzhou came in and rushed in.

"Quick, do you see if my hairpin is crooked?" Lu Sisi listened, hurriedly got down from the couch, and checked the makeup on his face and the clothes on his body in the vanity mirror.

After checking the whole body, Lu Sisi was about to go out, his eyes swept to Xing'er who was serving on the side, and said coldly: "You are in the house, you don't need to go out." ”

Then Xing Chong rushed out of the house, and Ji Yunyuan was standing under the osmanthus tree in the courtyard with his hands behind his back.

"Big cousin." A sweet smile hung on the corner of Lu Sisi's mouth, and he stepped forward to salute timidly.

"Cousin." Ji Yunyuan turned around and nodded at her, and said with a smile: "I passed by here and suddenly remembered the chess game I didn't finish with my cousin last time, so I came in, didn't disturb my cousin, right?" ”

"No, I'm just bored, it's great that my eldest cousin can come and play chess with me to relieve my boredom." Lu Sisi shook his head in surprise and instructed Zisu, "Go and put the chessboard up." ”

The two sat down at the stone table, served tea, and set up the chessboard, Ji Yunyuan casually dropped a chess piece, glanced at the few maids serving around him, and asked as if he had no intention of intentionally: "Wasn't the maid named Xing'er who served by your side in the past, why didn't you see her figure today?" ”

Lu Sisi's face froze, a fierce color flashed in his eyes, and he said with a forced smile: "She is not feeling well, I let her rest, and I didn't let her serve by my side." ”

"Oh." Ji Yunyuan paused, and then asked, "Have you asked the doctor to come and take a look?" ”

Lu Sisi's nails pinched into his palms in his sleeves, jealousy flooded in his heart, and he said casually: "It's not a big deal, you don't need to ask a doctor to take a look." ”

Ji Yunyuan nodded and stopped making a sound.

Halfway through the chess game, Lu Sisi rubbed the sachet in his sleeve and hesitated to take it out, when the little guy in Ji Yunyuan's house suddenly ran in from the gate of the courtyard and hurriedly said to Ji Yunyuan: "Young Master, the master asked you to go to his study." ”

Ji Yunyuan happily put down the chess pieces and stood up and said, "My father is looking for me, cousin, I'll go here today, I'll go first." ”

Lu Sisi's fingers hidden in his sleeve squeezed the sachet, got up and said reluctantly: "Big cousin go slowly, I'll wait for the next time my big cousin comes over to play this chess game." ”

Ji Yunyuan nodded perfunctorily, turned around and took the little servant out of Wutong Garden, not to Ji Mingzheng's study, but to Jinxiu Courtyard.

"Second sister, I listened to your idea and told Cousin Lu everything you explained." As soon as he entered the door, Ji Yunyuan said.

Ji Yunyun and Ji Yunshu were sitting on the couch waiting for his news, and when they saw him coming, Ji Yunyun vacated a place next to him for him to sit, and said with a smile: "Now we just have to wait for the news from Hongyun." ”

The three of them sat around eating melon seeds and drinking tea, and after about half an hour, the little maid outside the house came over and said that Hongyun was coming, and Ji Yunyun asked people to bring Hongyun into the house.

Hongyun came in and saluted them, and said, "The second girl expected it right, as soon as the eldest young master left, the Lu family's cousin went back to the house, saying that she wanted to rest, and Zisu guarded the door and didn't let people in." After about a stick of incense, Xing'er came out of the house with a pale face, and Shisu helped her to the side room, saying that she was not feeling well, and that we should not disturb her rest. The slave maid took advantage of their inattention, and quietly slipped into the side room to see, and there were several more whiplash wounds on Xing'er's body, this time it was harder than before, the skin was open, and the underwear was dyed red. ”

"I just asked a few more words about that maid, and Cousin Lu did such a ruthless move?" Ji Yunyuan muttered to himself in shock.

Although Ji Yunshu had been prepared, she heard that Xing'er's underwear was dyed red after being beaten, so she stroked her chest and couldn't bear to say: "Cousin Lu is so ruthless, I don't know how the maids around her can endure it." ”

Chun Tao listened and said with a faint smile: "Big girl, not everyone is so good to be able to work as an errand in a mansion like this in the Guogong Mansion. There is a girl I know in my county, who works as an errand in a rich family, and the wife of that family, only if the subordinates are a little careless, they will be beaten and scolded, but because of the rich money and silver, the subordinates are silent and patient. ”

Ji Yunshu sighed.

"Sure enough, people can't look good, grandmother has always thought that Cousin Lu is a gentle and considerate girl, if she knows that she is such a person, she will definitely not match me and her relatives again." Ji Yunyuan's eyes lit up, and he rubbed his hands and said, "I'll go tell my grandmother now." ”

"Brother, slow down." Ji Yunshu hurriedly stopped him, "How are you going to tell your grandmother?" ”

Ji Yunyuan looked inexplicable, "I said it truthfully." ”

"Did it be said that the second sister first found out that Xing'er was injured, and we found out that Cousin Lu was beating and scolding her subordinates with a whip behind her back?" Ji Yunshu sighed, "Brother, grandmother doesn't want you to marry Miss Yan is the cousin of the second sister, if you tell the truth, how can grandmother believe it, maybe she thinks that the second sister deliberately framed Cousin Lu for her cousin." ”

Ji Yunyuan frowned, "But the injuries on Xing'er's maid can't be denied." ”

"Cousin Lu can deduce that Xing'er made a big mistake and hit her. If you can't let your grandmother know that Cousin Lu just hit her because her eldest brother paid more attention to her maid, then it would be useless to expose this matter. Ji Yunyun shook his head and said.

"It makes sense, I was negligent in my momentary anxiety." Ji Yunyuan had a headache and said, "Then what should I do?" Do you want to find a way to expose her in front of your grandmother? ”

"Of course you have to think about it, and it's best to kill two birds with one stone, so that your grandmother agrees to the cousin and the eldest brother." Ji Yunyun propped her chin, blinked her eyes and smiled slightly.

Ji Yunyuan's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "What method?" The second sister will talk about it quickly. ”

Ji Yunyun leaned into his and Ji Yunshu's ears and muttered.

The next morning, I went to ask the old lady to say goodbye, and saw Lu Sisi sitting next to the old lady, coaxing the old lady to smile, Ji Yunshu and Ji Yunyun glanced at each other, and said with a smile: "Grandmother, Cousin Lu has been in our house for a few days, and she hasn't taken her around the mansions in the capital yet." Now that the weather is getting warmer and the spring is good, why don't we hold a banquet in the mansion and invite all the ladies from all the prefectures to come over, so that Cousin Lu can get to know each other. ”

"That's a good idea, our house hasn't been lively for a few days, and the last time was my grandmother's birthday." Ji Yunlan was the most lively, and clapped happily after listening to it.

The old lady pondered for a moment, she had already regarded Lu Sisi as her granddaughter-in-law, thinking that she should let Lu Sisi meet the girls in the capital, so she said: "It's still Shu'er's thoughtfulness, Sisi has been in the house for so long, and every day she sees a few of you girls, she should let her know more people." According to what Shu'er said, pick a day to hold a banquet in the house, and invite all the girls who have been friends in the past to come over and be lively. ”

Zhou said with a smile: "I went back and picked a good date, and then I asked people to post to the various prefectures." ”
