Rudonghai

Chapter 127
Ji Keran's feelings towards Xiao Xilin were very complicated. He not only admired his talent and learning, but also envied him for being able to catch the eyes of the emperor. He was able to rise to the top at a young age, and he was more beautiful than himself.

This man repeatedly promised to be a guest in Gu's mansion, which was really unexpected.

Even Ji Keran didn't believe that Xiao Xilin had a crush on Gu Yunyan.But I also heard Ji Jiaqian mention that Zhen Guohou's wife had already declined Ji Qingrou, and Xiao Xilin didn't want to become in-laws with An Guohou, lest the in-law's status would be greatly suspected by the emperor.

So, is this Taifu lord interested in the third girl of the Gu family?

This is not impossible. When Xiao Xilin invited the three girls to go on a boat, he originally only invited Gu Yunxiao, and the other two were just incidental.

This made Ji Keran feel offended, Xiao Xilin was always ahead of him in everything, so now he wants to snatch the house of the girl he likes?

He may not have deep feelings for Gu Yunxiao, but he just thinks that this girl is smart and well-behaved, and her background is not high, so she is an easy target.

And enough knowledge of current affairs, not like Gu Yunyan's overly gorgeous appearance, attracting bees and butterflies everywhere, causing trouble.

It's not that I like Gu Yunxiao, but that she suits her.

But when another man coveted Gu Yunxiao, Ji Keran's dispensable mood became inevitable.

If he was ahead of Xiao Xilin and married Gu Yunxiao back, who knows what kind of regretful expression this high-ranking Tai Tuo will show?
Just thinking about it, Ji Keran felt extremely happy.Xiao Xilin can easily get everything, but the girl she likes the most is not available, which is really extremely satisfying.

"Originally, Master Gu entertained guests, and I shouldn't disturb you. I'm just really worried about Miss Gu, can I ask Mrs. Gu to take me for a walk, at least I can take a look at Miss Gu, so I can rest assured." Ji Keran cupped his hands, and Master Gu also No reason for rejection could be found.

It happened that he didn't want Ji Jiaqian to stay in the way, so he smiled and said, "Master Ji cares so much about the little girl, so Mrs. Lao entertains Mrs. Ji. It was originally a family, and there were not so many complicated rules."

If Ji Keran hadn't been Ji Jiaqian's nephew, Mr. Gu would not have been so generous in letting Ji Jiaqian entertain him.

Ji Jiaqian responded with a stiff face, led Ji Keran away, and motioned to Liusu to pay attention to her surroundings. She turned her head in displeasure and said, "Why did Ran Lang come over suddenly, and he didn't tell me in advance? I almost beat him up." Caught off guard."

"It's my fault. It's just that I rushed over as soon as I heard the news. Please forgive me." Ji Keran's gentle and apologetic words made Ji Jiaqian unable to get angry.

"What is it that made you rush over?"

Ji Keran looked around, and said in a low voice: "Someone under me saw Master Gu's confidant went to the pharmacy to buy a few packs of tranquilizing medicine, and said that he couldn't sleep well recently, so he begged for a few."

Such a trivial matter would definitely not attract his attention, Ji Jiaqian waited patiently for the following.

"The boy felt that there was something wrong with this man's eyes, and he was too careful. He just bought some tranquilizers, so he followed him." Ji Keran frowned, and his voice became even softer: " Unexpectedly, this person went to the backyard of the pharmacy and carefully exchanged a medicine bag with a drug boy. The boy waited for the man to leave, and asked the drug boy for a pack at a high price. Guess, my sister-in-law, what is in it? What?"

Ji Jiaqian was not stupid, she vaguely guessed it, she couldn't help but widen her eyes and said in amazement: "Master, this is life-threatening, and dare to plot against Mrs. Xiao. If the matter fails, I'm afraid it will anger Mrs. Zhen Guohou and Mrs. Xiao, really. The gain outweighs the loss. No, I have to stop him, so as not to cause a catastrophe."

Ji Keran grabbed her and persuaded: "Since Mr. Gu has made up his mind, he has already made up his mind, how can he change his mind so easily?"

Ji Jiaqian couldn't help being anxious: "Master Xiao can sit on the position of Taifu, how can it be calculated easily? I am afraid that the master will not succeed in the end, but will cause a mess all over."

"Isn't it a coincidence? My sister also has a reason to leave Gu's house and go back to the Hou's mansion again." Ji Keran held her catkin and said affectionately: "Since my sister moved away, I don't think about eating and drinking, and I can't sleep or eat well." , I'm afraid that you will suffer a little bit of grievance in the Gu family. The old lady has been talking about you and worried about you. My mother was so embarrassed this time, she didn't dare to confront the old lady, and she didn't dare to embarrass you anymore. This is not your return Is it a good chance?"

Ji Jiaqian never wanted to go back to the Hou Mansion. No matter how good the Gu Mansion was, how could it compare to the rich clothes, fine food, and hordes of maidservants in the Hou Mansion?
And living in the Hou's mansion, there are many times when I want to see Ji Keran, and I don't need to meet in a hurry like now.

Ji Keran saw that Ji Jiaqian was tempted, and continued to insist: "This matter may not be a turning point. My sister-in-law should not stop it, but should add fire to help. My sister-in-law tried to think about it. The second girl of the Gu family married the Taifu and became the Taifu's wife." , it may not be a help to the Gu family. Moreover, the second girl is very good at handling, and she is dedicated to the Gu family, so she can help Lord Hou a lot. "

Ji Jiaqian understood what he meant, and she had an eyeliner beside Xiao Xilin, who could reciprocate every move she made, and An Guohou could also figure out the emperor's mind, which was indeed beneficial without any harm.

It's just that Ji Keran's eagerness to promote Xiao Xilin and Gu Yunyan is even more clear to her.

Xiao Xilin has always been firmly on his head, and has been compared with others from time to time since the number one scholar in the imperial examination. Ji Keran hated him deeply.

In particular, his marriage actually made the emperor open his mouth and let Xiao Xilin choose by himself. Who can have such a good thing?
The emperor favored him a lot, and it can be said that he has a bright future, and even Ji Keran can't catch up with his flattery.

Didn't Xiao Xilin want to choose a wife by himself, so now that he is given a second girl from the Gu family, this little wife will not help him much, but will actually hinder him.

Gu Yunyan's reputation in Beijing is not very good now, she is thoughtful and stubborn, but she is easy to provoke. Ji Keran has her handle, so she can naturally hold people in her hands, but it is not Gu Yunyan's turn disobedient.

With her around, wouldn't Xiao Xilin's every move be under his control?
Just thinking about it, Ji Keran couldn't help gloating.

Even if Gu Yunyan doesn't succeed, so what, in the end he will spread rumors and rumors, Xiao Xilin's reputation will be ruined, let's see how many people still admire him, and how the emperor continues to favor and trust him!
Ji Jiaqian glanced at him, and snorted coldly: "It may not be just that, no matter success or failure, the third girl is yours."

If Gu Yunyan succeeds, Xiao Xilin has no reason to marry a pair of sisters, no matter how much she cares about Gu Yunxiao, she has nothing to do.

If it fails, the status of the Gu family will plummet, Gu Yunyan will be unlucky, and Gu Yunxiao will also be implicated. No one will dare to come to propose marriage. Had to nod!
Ji Keran held her little hand tightly, and said tenderly: "I didn't want to be with my sister-in-law. The third girl is the one you and I have chosen for a long time. Apart from her, there must be no girl who makes my sister-in-law more satisfied."

He followed his own wishes in everything, even the provocative things. The jealousy in Ji Jiaqian's heart disappeared because of Ji Keran's tenderness: "I can say good things, but it's not because of you." , otherwise I wouldn’t have to work so hard.”

Hearing her tone soften, Ji Keran smiled and said, "Little sister, you have worked hard. How can I be better without you?"

Ji Jiaqian was completely amused by him, and said seriously: "You know what the master is going to do. Just do what you want, and I will help cover it up."

"I know my sister is the best for me. I will do it properly, and I will never cause my sister to worry." Ji Keran promised again and again, and said a lot of good things, which made Ji Jiaqian coax her into a coquettish smile.

"Then Ran Lang still wants to go to Sanyatou's Xianghe Garden, or wait somewhere else?"

"Naturally, you have to do a full set of plays. If you promise to give ginseng to the third girl, how can you return without success? And so many maids have heard it. If I don't go, Master Gu will be suspicious when I look back." Ji Keran said It was so grand that Ji Jiaqian couldn't fault it, but it was a bit sour.

"When I was sick, I never saw Ran Lang being so considerate. He specially went to collect ginseng and send it over."

Ji Keran said with a good-tempered smile: "When my sister was sick, I wished I could cut off the heart and give it to you as a medicine. The mere ginseng is nothing, I just let the people find it. My sister still wants to see it." See how distressed I am, do I want to dig out my heart and show it to you?"

"What nonsense, you have to be good, and you can't say such scaring words like cutting your heart." Ji Jiaqian's jealousy was subsided in the blink of an eye, and the two entangled for a while, and then tidied up, Shi Shiran went Xiangheyuan went.

A maid had already reported it, and Liu Xu was waiting in front of the door, saluting to the two of them: "I have met Mrs. Ji, and I greet Madam."

"Okay, get up. How is your girl today, can't she still eat?" Ji Jiaqian stepped in with a worried face.

Liu Xu followed her, lowered her head and replied, "Young lady feels better, she can eat a little bit. It's just that she doesn't look very good, and she doesn't have much energy, she's lying listlessly on the bed."

"Serve carefully, and just tell the cook what you want to eat. If you really can't eat it, you can ask someone to buy some snacks outside." Ji Jiaqian didn't feel sorry for the little money at all. As the new mistress of Gu's house, she had always been generous.

"Thank you, Madam, on behalf of the girl," Liu Xu bowed low and raised the curtain to enter the inner room.The gauze curtain inside had been put down a long time ago, and the shadows could not be seen clearly.

Ji Keran bowed to Gu Yunxiao outside the door, and said with concern: "I'm worried about the third girl, so I specially asked people to find ginseng, and hope that the girl can recover as soon as possible."

"Thank you, Mrs. Ji," Gu Yunxiao's voice was hoarse, and he seemed to have no strength: "Daddy is entertaining distinguished guests, so I won't keep my mother any longer. Please ask Mrs. Ji to go there personally. The little girl is very grateful, but Please forgive me for not being able to fulfill the friendship of the landlord.”
