On this day, Ji Yunyun leaned on the couch to read a book, and heard footsteps outside and Ji Yunrou's voice, "Is the second sister there?" ”

"The second girl is resting, the fourth girl will go back first." Harue stood guard at the doorway.

"Then I'll come back later." Ji Yunrou's tone was a little wistful, and she turned around and left.

Seeing her leave, Chunzhi came in from outside the door and said, "Girl, the fourth girl was sent away by me." ”

Ji Yunyun nodded, Ji Yunrou had come to her several times in the past few days, but she had avoided her, since she knew that the Jade Buddha incident was related to Ji Yunrou and Aunt Fang, she didn't know how to treat Ji Yunrou anymore. She thought about it for a few days and couldn't figure out why Ji Yunrou's cousin wanted to pretend to be a little maid in the house to deceive her?

"I hope that my uncle will receive the girl's letter soon, and find out whether the little maid who framed the girl is the cousin of the fourth girl, so that he can clear the girl's grievances in front of everyone in the house." Harueda said indignantly.

Ji Yunyun lowered her eyes and was silent, after she came back that day after knowing the truth, she wrote a letter and asked people to send it to her uncle in Yaozhou as soon as possible, Aunt Fang's sister's family was also in Yaozhou, and she just asked her uncle to investigate the reason why they framed her. Later, when it was clarified in front of my grandmother and my uncle, there would be conclusive evidence.

"Is the second sister here?" While the two were talking, Ji Yunshu came in from outside the door.

Ji Yunyun put down the book in her hand and got up to greet her, "Big sister is here, please take a seat." ”

Ji Yunshu sat down on the couch, opposite the window was a small lake, the lotus leaves in the lake were pavilions, the pink and white lotus flowers bloomed gracefully, and the cool breeze was breathing from time to time with the fresh fragrance of lotus flowers wafting into the house, Ji Yunshu smiled: "Your yard is really elegant." ”

"I live alone in this courtyard, if the eldest sister likes it, she can come often." Ji Yunyun smiled and poured her tea.

"Girl, something happened...... Chun Tao hurriedly ran in from outside, and when she saw Ji Yunshu was also there, she hurriedly saluted her and said, "Big girl." ”

"Panicked, what's going on?" Ji Yunyun asked her.

Chun Tao said: "There is a woman who came to the door and said that she was the Oiran of Fengyue Building, who was ransomed by the second master and placed in the idle village in Yuzhou, but now she was driven out by the third lady and came to find the second master to call the shots." ”

Ji Yunshu was taken aback, frowned, and said, "Why did the second uncle raise people outside again?" As soon as I brought my second aunt back, can't I stop for a few days? ”

"It's not that you don't know how the second uncle's romantic temperament stopped." Ji Yunyun was helpless, the woman who came to the door was called Yinshuang, and in the previous life, she had been raised by the second uncle in the idle Zhuangzi, and the second uncle kept it a secret, and no one in the house found out. Yinshuang was very tricky, and the second uncle who coaxed her bought clothes and jewelry with all the money and silver in his hand. Occasionally, the money is not enough, and the second uncle will secretly withdraw the second aunt's private money, and later the second aunt found out, when he found Zhuangzi, he found that Yinshuang's clothes and jewelry, and the furnishings in the house were better than several aunts in the house, and they were about to catch up with her, and he was angry and almost separated from the second uncle.

In order to save Ji Yunlan, she exposed the silver frost in advance.

"What about the second aunt and the third sister?" Ji Yunshu asked.

"The second lady is in the front yard, and the eldest lady and the second master are there. The third girl was in Bitong Temple, and the eldest lady asked the girl and the eldest girl to go to see her together. "Spring Peach Road.

"The third sister must be in a bad mood now, let's go, let's go see her." Ji Yunshu thought about it for a while, got up from the couch, and beckoned Ji Yunyun to go to Bitong Courtyard together.

At the behest of the eldest aunt, Ji Yunyun and Ji Yunshu went to Bitong Courtyard together, and when they entered the courtyard, they didn't let the maid report it, and they saw Ji Yunlan standing by the pond, grabbing the stones on the ground and throwing them into the water like anger.

"Third sister." Ji Yunshu screamed, and walked towards her with Ji Yunyun.

"What are you doing here?" Ji Yunlan looked at them and asked angrily.

"I know you're in a bad mood, I heard that a new kitchen restaurant has opened on the street, and the chef's skills in it are not inferior to the imperial chef in the palace, and Buddha jumping over the wall is his specialty, let's go out and try it?" Unimpressed by her attitude, Ji Yunshu asked with a smile.

Ji Yunlan pursed her lips, uninterested, "Don't go." ”

"Let's go, just accompany me, grandmother loves to eat Buddha the most and jump over the wall, let's go and taste it, if it is better than the cook in the house, please ask him to come to the house one day to make a cook for grandmother." Ji Yunshu pulled her hand, and couldn't help but pull her and walked outside.

“…… Wait until I get back and change my clothes. Ji Yunlan saw that she couldn't break free, so she hurriedly shouted.

After changing into clothes to go out, Ji Yunlan reluctantly went out with them.

The crowd on the street was bustling, the carriage was walking very slowly, Ji Yunyun had just lowered the curtain of the window, the carriage suddenly stopped, and the coachman was at a loss outside: "A few girls, someone stopped the carriage in front." ”

Ji Yunyun glanced at each other, lifted the curtain and looked out, and saw clearly the figure blocking the carriage in front, Ji Yunyun's face suddenly turned cold, it was Xia Lian.

Xia Lian was dressed in a blue coarse linen skirt, simple wooden hairpins, and a pink silk flower in her hair, she saw Ji Yunshu, stepped forward and saluted, and said gratefully: "Thank you girl for helping last time, so that the doctor is willing to treat my father." Last time the girl was in a hurry, this time when she saw the girl's carriage, she couldn't help but come forward and want to invite the girl to sit at home, so as to thank the girl for her kindness. ”

"No need, the eldest sister didn't think about needing your thanks for saving you, the eldest sister is kind-hearted, and she usually gives a few silver when she meets a beggar, if everyone wants to invite her to the house, won't the eldest sister be too busy? Go back, we have something to do. Without waiting for Ji Yunshu to speak, Ji Yunyun refused loudly.

Ji Yunlan looked at her curiously and then at Xia Lian, wondering why she shouldn't be familiar with Xia Lian, why she didn't have a good face for Xia Lian like this.

Xia Lian glanced at Ji Yunyun with some fear, turned to look at Ji Yunshu, and pleaded pitifully: "Girl, please come with me to sit at home, my father also wants to thank the girl in person." ”

The carriage was in the middle of the road and had already blocked the path of the pedestrians behind, seeing that Ji Yunyun was reluctant to go, Xia Lian said pitifully, Ji Yunshu was a little embarrassed, Ji Yunlan smiled and said: "Big sister, anyway, it's still early, let's go to her house and sit down, otherwise she won't go to the road like this, and it's not a way." ”

After speaking, without waiting for others to speak, he said to Xia Lian: "Lead the way ahead, and we will go with you." ”

Xia Lianxi hurriedly said, "Please come with me." ”

The carriage slowly drove behind Xia Lian, and Ji Yunyun grimaced and glared at Ji Yunlan angrily.

Xia Lian's home is a little far away, in a village on the northern side of the city. She walked slowly, Ji Yunshu invited her to sit in the carriage together, she shook her head and refused, for fear of bumping into a few girls, so she was only willing to sit outside with the coachman.

When she arrived at the place, Xia Lian got down from the carriage and hurriedly greeted: "A few girls, my house has arrived, please come down quickly." ”

Ji Yunyun got out of the carriage behind Ji Yunshu, looked up and looked around, in front of him was a small courtyard that was a little shabby, the house was a little dilapidated, and he was very poor at first glance.

Xia Lian led them into the house, and said a little embarrassed: "The family is simple, please don't dislike the girls." ”

As soon as "Sister ......" entered the hall, a little girl about seven or eight years old, with braids and an old dress, ran out of the next room and looked at the people in the house timidly.

"There are guests at home, Ah Lu is going to boil water, and Sister Ah wants to make tea for the guests." Xia Lian instructed the little girl.

The little girl nodded, turned and ran.

"Sit down, girls." Xia Lian wiped the tables and chairs in the room and invited them to sit down.

The smell of medicine and intermittent coughing came from the next room, and a weak voice came from the next room, "Li'er, who's coming?" ”

"Dad, it's my daughter who said it, the girl who kindly helped us hire a doctor last time." Xia Lian replied in a loud voice as she brought out the teacup.

There was silence in the room, and then there was the sound of struggling to land, "Quick...... Come and help me up, and I'm going to thank that girl in person. ”

Xia Lian hurriedly entered the house, and after a while, she helped a sick middle-aged man out of the house, the man's face was thin and sallow, and he looked very weak and weak in bed for a long time. After he came out, he followed Xia Lian's guidance and saw Ji Yunshu, coughing and thanking him gratefully: "Thank you girl for helping, the girl is really a good person." ”

Seeing his unsteady and crumbling appearance, Ji Yunshu hurriedly said: "A little thing is nothing to worry about, please sit down." ”

Xia Lian wanted to help her father sit down, but her father shook his head, let go of Xia Lian's hand, and suddenly knelt on the ground with a puff, looked at Ji Yunshu and pleaded: "The girl helped our family, I shouldn't have asked the girl for anything, but my daughter is really pitiful, her mother went early, and I am a sick man, and this family is supported by her alone." A few days ago, she was taken by a foreign master in the city and threatened to marry her as a concubine. Although we are poor, we were also born in a white family, not to mention that the foreign master is almost sixty years old, and the poor child is less than fifteen, how can we be a concubine for him? The girl was born in a rich and noble family, and please help me with this daughter, I dare not ask for anything else, but I just ask the girl to let my daughter go to my side to be a maid, serve the girl, and repay the girl's kindness. ”

"This ......" I didn't expect him to kneel down to him suddenly, Ji Yunshu was startled, and hurriedly said: "Don't be like this, get up quickly." ”

The man not only didn't get up, but pulled Xia Lian over and said, "Li'er, quickly kneel down with me and beg the girl, saying that you will definitely serve the girl with all your heart." ”

Xia Lian was pulled by her father and had to kneel on the ground, sobbing and saying, "Girl...... Please let me be your maid, even if it is sweeping and cooking, and I will definitely serve the girl well. ”

The little girl before boiled the water and came over tremblingly with a kettle, and the man hurriedly said to her: "Alu also come, please ask this girl to save your sister." Excited, he clutched his chest and coughed vigorously.

The little girl who called Ah Lu put down the kettle and knelt timidly in front of Ji Yunshu.

"Don't be like this......" Ji Yunshu was already soft-hearted, looking at the family in front of him, he couldn't help but hesitate a little.

Ji Yunlan couldn't bear to look at it anymore, "Just accept her into the house as a maid, anyway, there is not one more maid in the house." ”

Ji Yunyun watched coldly, this family looked really pitiful, if she didn't know how Xia Lian used this pity to win Ji Yunshu's trust in the previous life, and finally destroyed Ji Yunshu's marriage, she would also relent. Seeing that Ji Yunshu was about to open her mouth to agree, she said loudly: "We still have to inform the government about this matter, and when we go back to tell us, if the government agrees, someone will come to take her into the house." ”

After speaking, he didn't talk to the family on the ground, so he said to Ji Yunshu: "Let's go, didn't you say that you want to go to Chuxianglou, I'm hungry." ”

Seeing her say this, Ji Yunshu didn't say anything anymore, and smiled at Xia Lian and her father: "You guys get up quickly, wait for me to go back to the house to tell you, we still have something to do, so let's leave first." ”

The three of them went out and got into the carriage, and Ji Yunlan couldn't stand it and muttered: "Isn't it just to accept a maid, what else do you have to say." ”

Ji Yunyun glared at Ji Yunlan angrily, originally Xia Lian would not have entered the mansion, if it wasn't for Ji Yunlan to make trouble, they would not have come to Xia Lian's house, Ji Yunshu was already soft-hearted, and this time he really wanted to accept Xia Lian to be a maid by his side.

The carriage drove for a while, and suddenly stopped again, Ji Yunlan lifted the curtain and said impatiently: "Someone is blocking the road again?" ”

As soon as the words fell, the people who saw it outside were suddenly frightened and silent. Ji Yunyun and Ji Yunshu saw that her face was wrong and were about to ask, when they saw that the curtain of the carriage was suddenly opened, and several fierce men surrounded their carriage.

"This is the carriage of the Pingguo Mansion, take them away!" The first one gave them a quick look, stabbed the coachman in the chest, kicked him to the ground, got into the carriage and drove away.
