"Okay, originally the second prince took the initiative to ask Ying to lead troops to rescue you and exterminate the mountain bandits, but the sudden flood in Luzhou was critical, and the second prince set off for Luzhou overnight, and the matter of exterminating the mountain bandits naturally fell on the prince." Ji Yunting said.

So that's the case, Ji Yunyun remembered that there was such a thing in the last life, the floods in Luzhou were raging, and many people inside and outside the city suffered. If the flood is handled well, it can increase a lot of fame and prestige among the people, and it can also add a lot of commendation and merit in front of the emperor and the courtiers.

In the previous life, the second prince exterminated the mountain bandits and encountered a flood not long after, but in this life, two things collided together. Compared with the girls who saved them from several national mansions, it is natural that the matter of quelling the flood is more pleasing to the emperor, and the choice of the second prince is understandable. It's just that the flood is not so easy to quell down, and some people from the Sun family used the flood to make profits among the victims, killing many victims. In order to protect the Sun family, the second prince delayed the time to deal with the floods, and many people were affected. I don't know who stabbed this in front of the emperor, the emperor was furious, Sun Guifei spent a lot of effort to make the emperor angry, the second prince was locked up in the palace and thought about it behind closed doors, and the originally arrogant and domineering Sun family had to be restrained and stopped for a while.

In the previous life, these two things had nothing to do with the prince, but in this life, the prince led the troops to exterminate the mountain bandits, and the rescued Miss Guogongfu will definitely be rewarded by the emperor. One prince has made a meritorious service, but the other has made a big mistake, there is no doubt which one the ministers of the court and the central government will prefer, and the prince has become the one who benefits from it.

"Girl, how many hours have you slept, are you hungry? I asked the kitchen to bring dinner? Seeing that her girl had slept and her complexion improved, Chun Tao's heart finally fell, and she asked.

Ji Yunyun came back to his senses and was a little hungry, nodded, Chun Tao went out and told the little maid to go to the kitchen, Ji Yunting sat on the edge of the bed and asked his sister: "Sister, the eldest brother said that he found you in the cave, tell me, how did you escape to where?" ”

Ji Yunting listened to his sister talk about being taken away, and accompanied his sister to dinner, and waited until late at night when the old lady sent someone to urge him before leaving. The house prepared a calming decoction for the three girls, and after Ji Yunyun drank it, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Because of the mountain bandits, there was no need to go to Rongshan Hall to say goodbye the next day, so she got up slowly and had breakfast, and everyone in the house took turns to see her.

First of all, the Zhou family and Aunt Shen in the big house cared about Ji Yunyun with pity, and seeing that she was fine, they finally thought about their daughter, and Zhou and Aunt Shen sat for a while and left. Then there were Aunt Fang and Aunt Feng in the second room, the old lady and the Ye family didn't come, so they only asked the maid to send supplements.

Ji Yunyun asked Chun Tao to put away the tonic gifts sent by the old lady, aunt and several aunts, and heard that Ji Yunshu woke up and went out to see her in Cuihua Courtyard.

As soon as he stepped through the Hanging Flower Gate, he saw Ji Yunyuan on the other side hurrying over, Ji Yunyun stood still and called with a smile: "Big brother." ”

"I was going to see you." Ji Yunyuan stopped to look at her, early in the morning, the sun was a little sunburned, Ji Yunyun's little face was a little red from the sun, and she was dressed in a light green dress, slim like a newly blooming delicate lotus.

The three younger sisters were taken captive by the mountain bandits together, and both of them were frightened and had not recovered, but this second sister, who looked at the weakest and most delicate, recovered her spirit so quickly, which really impressed him.

"Go see Shu'er?" Ji Yunyuan plucked a fallen leaf from her hair for her and asked with a smile.

"Hmm." Ji Yunyun nodded, "Big sister's injury is better?" ”

"The doctor said that it is not serious, and it will be fine in a few days." Ji Yunyuan reached out and patted her shoulder, "I'm relieved to see that you're okay, go see Shu'er." ”

Ji Yunyun continued to walk towards Cuihua Courtyard, Ji Yunyuan turned a corner at his feet and went to the gate.

When he arrived in Ji Yunshu's yard, Ji Yunyun followed the little maid into the house, and saw several people sitting in the house, and when he looked at it, it was Zhou Heng and Zhou Fu.

"The second sister is here, sit down." Seeing Ji Yunyun, Ji Yunshu greeted her with a smile, except that her face was still a little pale, and she looked in good spirits.

"Come and sit next to me." Zhou Fu knew that she was also frightened, so she pulled her to sit down beside her, patted her chest and said, "I knew that something happened to you, but I was frightened, but fortunately you are all safe." ”

"This is thanks to Miss Xia, if it weren't for Miss Xia's familiarity with the terrain on the mountain, the eldest brother wouldn't have been able to find us so quickly." Ji Yunshu said with a smile.

Miss Xia? Ji Yunyun was a little puzzled when he heard this, and his eyes caught a glimpse of the slender figure behind Zhou Heng and paused.

The figure behind Zhou Heng moved, stepped forward and bowed, and said timidly with a cry: "The two girls are in distress, it is all the bad of the two girls, if it weren't for the two girls begging the two girls to sit at home, the two girls would not have encountered such a thing." Ask the two girls for forgiveness. So saying, she was about to kneel.

"How can I blame you for this? Those bandits weren't recruited by you, even if there is no this time, there will be a next time. Zhou Heng used a fan to block her kneeling movements, and said warmly.

"Yes, what my cousin said, it's not your fault." Ji Yunshu also comforted her softly.

"Thank you, young master, thank you, girl." Xia Lian blessed Zhou Heng and Ji Yunshu, and retreated behind Zhou Heng.

The coarse cloth dress on Xia Lian's body was somehow changed to a maid-style silk skirt, and seeing her standing behind Zhou Heng with low eyebrows, Ji Yunyun suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart.

"We can be rescued, and there is still the credit of Miss Xia?" Ji Yunyun took a sip of tea and asked slowly.

"Not really. The mountain we were guarded on was not far behind Miss Xia's house, and it was remote and rugged, and few people went there. Miss Xia often had to go up the mountain to collect medicine for her father, so she was very familiar with the terrain of that mountain. After discovering that we were missing, the eldest brother followed our trail to find Miss Xia, and later found that the group of mountain bandits were hiding in that mountain, and Miss Xia led the way, so he rushed to the cave in time. Ji Yunshu said.

"Really? It seems that it is really thanks to Miss Xia. Ji Yunyun smiled lightly, looked at Xia Lian and then at Zhou Heng and asked suspiciously, "Miss Xia, what ......is this?"

Zhou Fu said with a smile: "My brother wanted to send silver to thank Xia Lian for leading the way and rescuing her cousin, but she said that her cousin had helped her and was kind to her, and she only wanted to serve her cousin, but there was no shortage of maids in your Guogong Mansion." When my brother saw that she was grateful for her kindness and that she was pitiful, he let her serve in our house. ”

She didn't want this Xia Lian to enter the Guogong Mansion, but she didn't expect that this Xia Lian would seize the opportunity to go directly to Zhou Heng's side. Seeing that Ji Yunshu was unconscious and smiling gently at Zhou Heng and Xia Lian, Ji Yunyun sighed and sighed in her heart.

Xia Lian looked at Ji Yunyun, the second girl of the Guogong Mansion was beautiful and moving, and she was gentle and gentle when she spoke, but somehow she was a little afraid of her, and she was flustered and weak when she looked at her paint-like gaze.

"The eldest girl saved my father's kindness, and Li'er can't repay it, knowing that the eldest girl and the young master have a marriage contract, Li'er will definitely help the eldest girl take good care of the young master, and when the eldest girl becomes a young lady, with the little son, Li'er will definitely do her best to serve." Xia Lian came out from behind Zhou Heng, lowered her head to avoid Ji Yunyun's gaze, and said seriously.

Ji Yunshu's face turned red when she said it, but Ji Yunyun sneered in her heart, she took care of it well, and finally took care of it on the bed.

"It's really touching that you want to repay the kindness of your big sister so much, and you want to come and serve by your big sister's side." Ji Yunyun smiled at her, "Although there is no shortage of maids in our Guogong Mansion, there are not many of you, so it is better to let you come to serve by the eldest sister as you wish." ”

Xia Lian was stunned for a moment, and looked up at her suddenly.

Ji Yunshu also looked at her with some puzzlement, and said, "Second sister, ......"

Ji Yunyun interrupted her, still looking at Xia Lian and smiling, "What's wrong?" Don't you want to come and serve your big sister? Could it be that you have a good place to go and don't want to repay the kindness of your big sister? ”

"No, but the young master ......" Xia Lian hurriedly shook her head, she couldn't speak, and turned her head to look at Zhou Heng.

Ji Yunyun looked at Zhou Heng with a smile, "The cousin of the Zhou family is reluctant to give up a maid?" It's better to fulfill Miss Xia's wish and let her serve by her big sister's side. The eldest sister has a foot injury, and it is time when she needs someone to serve her. ”

Zhou Heng didn't look at Xia Lian, looked at Ji Yunshu who was looking at him gently, his eyebrows moved, and he said loudly: "Okay, I can rest assured that there is one more person to serve by my cousin's side." ”

Zhou Heng's eyes were full of concern, Ji Yunshu's heart was warm, and he smiled softly: "Thank you, cousin." ”

Xia Lian quickly lowered her head to hide the loss in her eyes, blessed Ji Yunshu, and said with a forced smile: "Thank you big girl, Lian'er will definitely do her best to serve the big girl in the future." ”

Zhou Heng and Zhou Fu sat for a while and then got up to say goodbye, Xia Lian went back to Zhou's Mansion with them to pack their luggage, and when they were leaving, Ji Yunshu pulled Ji Yunyun and asked strangely: "Don't you dislike Xia Lian?" Xia Lian begged to come to serve me several times before, but you didn't allow it, why did you take the initiative to let her come now? ”

"She is so persistent in wanting to come to her big sister's side, and this time thanks to her we were able to be rescued in time, of course I have to take the initiative to thank her and fulfill her wish." Ji Yunyun gave her a serious perfunctory attitude and said, "You don't care about Xia Lian's affairs, I will arrange her, and you can just recuperate from your injuries with peace of mind." ”

Ji Yunshu looked at her radiant appearance and couldn't help but sigh, "The mountain bandit incident has just passed, how can you be as normal as if nothing happened?" I heard that the third sister was scared and had nightmares, and she didn't dare to sleep alone at night, and I haven't come back to my senses yet, but you are calm. ”

"Isn't it that the matter is over, and we have come back safely." Ji Yunyun bent her eyes and smiled, the curtain at the door was lifted, Ji Yunqing ran in from outside, Ji Yunyun smiled at her, "Qing'er, come and play with your big sister and second sister." ”

In the next half a month, the Guogong Mansion didn't dare to let the girls go out, and Ji Yunyun spent all day in the mansion not only reading, walking, and painting, but also supervising Ji Yunting's homework. Ji Yunting was quite well-behaved in the first few days, but within two days, he became playful and began to avoid Ji Yunyun again.
