Rudonghai

Chapter 175
"It's nothing, sister-in-law, don't think too much." Ji Keran lost the smile on his lips, and said a little sadly: "My sister-in-law came to see me specially, but just to question?"

"No, I'm just worried about you. After all, it's too coincidental. I heard that the girl surnamed Wen was also injured. After being injured, she was rescued by Zhen Guohou, and she is still unconscious..."

Ji Jiaqian thought that Wen Ruqi would be in trouble when she mentioned Wen Ruqi to Ji Keran just yesterday. Such a coincidence, except him, she couldn't think of anyone who would be unfavorable to Wen Ruqi!
When Ji Keran heard that Wen Ruqi was unconscious, he raised his eyebrows slightly.It seems that you don't need to worry about it yourself, the girl didn't say anything, so she softly comforted her: "I'm not going to hide it from my sister, I'm also a little worried that Miss Wen's words will be unscrupulous, if she reveals it, I'm afraid it will put my sister in danger." So I sent someone to watch at the Zhen Guo Hou Mansion. Besides, I didn’t do anything else, don’t you think my sister doesn’t believe me?”

Ji Jiaqian had always believed in Ji Keran's words, so she was relieved.

Thinking of receiving the news just now that Zhen Guohou's mansion was attacked, Ji Jiaqian's first thought was Ji Keran: "It's fine if it's not you, Zhen Guohou has already made trouble in the palace, and now people are panicking, thinking that there are people in Beijing who are bold If you break into Zhen Guohou's mansion, you may go elsewhere. The high-ranking officials and nobles in this area, all the families have strengthened their guards, and please allow the emperor to send a few imperial guards to sit in the mansion."

Ji Keran was startled, and then heard a young servant come to report, saying that An Guohou had invited two imperial guards to the mansion, and told him to go and see him.

The imperial army is the emperor's personal soldiers, but they are also of high rank, even above him.

In terms of emotion and reason, Ji Keran should go to greet him as a sign of respect.

It's just that he was very unhappy in his heart. He was supposed to be the crown prince, but now he can only treat a few guards respectfully!
However, Ji Keran is also able to stretch and bend. He lowered his head and smiled and said, "Then I'll go to the front hall. When my sister-in-law comes back, grandma may just be waiting."

"That's right, I only miss Ran Lang, I'm afraid I will upset my mother." Ji Jiaqian took Tassel and left, and Ji Keran went to see the two imperial guards.

Hearing that one of them was the deputy commander of the Imperial Forest Army, he was quite surprised: "I didn't expect to bother the deputy commander to come. I am really disappointed."

"Master Ji, you're welcome, this is your duty." The deputy commander quickly went to check the nursing home in An Guohou's mansion with a sullen face.

It didn't take long before there was a shout, obviously very dissatisfied with the laziness of the nurse.

An Guohou came out at this time, his face was paler than before, but he was in good spirits, and he smiled with satisfaction: "As expected of the Imperial Forest Army, the guards have been lazy for a long time, it's time to beat them."

Ji Keran was not as optimistic as he was, and asked in a low voice, "Why did Grandpa recruit the Imperial Forest Army into the mansion, will they notice it..."

An Guohou glanced at him, and Ji Keran swallowed the rest of the words.

He poked the ground hard with his crutches, and said with a sneer: "You are so brave, what will you do in the future? The one in the palace is already afraid of various families, otherwise he would not use this matter to send the Imperial Forest Army to each family. We follow the trend to not be so conspicuous. That way, that person will feel more at ease."

Even the Imperial Forest Army has been invited into the mansion, which means that there is nothing tricky, so can the emperor be worried?

Ji Keran suddenly realized, smiled and praised: "As expected of a grandfather, he always thinks more than I do."

An Guohou looked at him with deep meaning, and sighed: "You are always too impatient. When I am not around, you will be the one who will take the lead in the mansion. The overall situation is the most important thing in everything, and some clowns don't care about it. Don't even worry about it."

Hearing this, Ji Keran's eyelids twitched, wondering if the old man knew something, and he was warning him secretly: "Grandpa and grandson have written it down."

An Guohou came out to blow the cool breeze, and couldn't help lowering his head and coughing again. Ji Keran hurriedly helped him go back: "It's cold, grandpa should go back to the house to rest, and grandson will take care of other things." .”

An Guohou nodded, he was indeed a little tired, his body was getting weaker and weaker, and he might not be able to hide it for a long time.

After sending off An Guohou, Ji Keran rubbed his forehead, and realized that he was too impatient and aggressive these days.

The matter of Zhen Guohou's Mansion is a lesson. If it is not handled properly, I am afraid that future actions will be tied up.

The Imperial Forest Army is in the mansion again, so we must be careful in everything, so that nothing wrong can be seen.

Ji Keran suddenly felt that it was difficult to move forward, but to achieve great things, the road ahead has never been so smooth.

Regardless of whether the road ahead is full of thorns or not, as long as the final fruit can be obtained, what are the hardships in front of us?
Just as Ji Jiaqian went to Mrs. Hou's yard, a teacup fell on her footsteps, and she was shocked: "Mother..."

She raised her head and saw Mrs. Hou's furious appearance, she couldn't help lowering her head guiltily.

"Do you still have the guts to call me? Why don't you come to visit the elders first, but run to the yard of the younger generation. Even though he is a nephew, it's better to avoid suspicion. There are so many eyes watching in the mansion, especially when the Imperial Forest Army came in. It's gone." Madam Hou hated iron but steel, she could vaguely see the difference between Ji Jiaqian and Ji Keran.

In the past, this daughter had a vague affection for Ji Keran's father, but after the nominal eldest son died, she transferred her feelings to Ji Keran.

It's just an extra sustenance, and I haven't done anything out of the ordinary. As long as the eldest lady doesn't make trouble, Mrs. Hou will turn a blind eye.

It's just that Ji Jiaqian went too far, and rushed to find Ji Keran. Hearing that the eldest lady had smashed a tea set and two ruyi handles in the yard, Mrs. Hou was really afraid that she couldn't help but go to sue An Guohou.

Fortunately, Ji Jiaqian didn't stay long and came over soon, but she already made Mrs. Hou very angry.

Ji Jiaqian timidly said: "Mother, I will pay attention to it in the future..."

"I don't want to hear this sentence. Your ears are so soft now that you can listen to everything. Didn't I teach you that you can't trust a man's words?" Mrs. Hou hated iron and steel, and was really worried about this daughter. : "Tell me, did you tell Ran Lang about Jin Suo?"

"No, Ran Lang discovered it by himself. He was very curious, so he opened the golden lock..." Ji Jiaqian murmured to explain, but met Mrs. Shang Hou's gaze, and suddenly couldn't continue.

Mrs. Hou sneered: "That's what Ran Lang said, right? Curious? Because of curiosity, he took it without asking. After taking the things away, if you didn't ask, he probably wouldn't tell you."

"No, he is not such a person. He originally planned to study it and return it." Ji Jiaqian said, feeling that she lacked confidence.Indeed, as Mrs. Hou said, if she didn't mention it, Ji Keran might really keep it a secret.

"You, a silly girl, only believed these nonsense, so now that you know, has he returned it to you?" Mrs. Hou said coldly. Seeing that Ji Jiaqian remained silent, how could there be anything she didn't know?
"It's not a bad thing for you if this thing is not here, so forget it. You stay away from Ran Lang, he is likely to be the next heir of the Hou family, and he will definitely marry a wife and have children in the future, but the people standing beside him will not It's you, don't forget that you are his real aunt in name!" She sighed faintly, her whole body seemed a little older.

"Mother, I was wrong." Ji Jiaqian suddenly noticed that Mrs. Hou's temples had more gray hair, she felt guilty, and her face was full of apology: "I understand that Ran Lang will have his wife and many children in the future." , His life may have nothing to do with me anymore. But as long as I can look at him and talk to him occasionally, I am satisfied."

Mrs. Hou shook her head, knowing that this silly daughter would not turn back unless she hit the south wall: "You go back to the mansion, don't come back for the time being, and don't go to other places."

Ji Jiaqian remembered Ji Keran's order, and said cautiously: "Mother, I plan to go to Zhuangzi to relax in two days..."

"Why do you suddenly want to relax? Is it Ran Lang's intention again?" Mrs. Hou's eyes were like knives, and Ji Jiaqian turned away immediately, not daring to meet her gaze.

"No, it's my own idea. It's boring to stay in Gu's house. Now the second girl is in charge of the house. I have nothing to do with it. It's really boring to stay in Gu's house."

"It's up to you. It's just that you have to understand in your heart what you should do and what you shouldn't do. I don't need to remind you again." Mrs. Hou waved her hand, feeling very tired, and sent her away .

With Madam Hou's permission, Ji Jiaqian was elated, and first sent Tassel to tell Ji Keran the good news, and then asked Hongluan to pack up the suitcase, intending to go to the hot spring village as soon as possible.

The carriage has already been prepared, and she simply brought a few replacement clothes, personal items, and others are prepared in the hot spring village.

Hearing that Ji Jiaqian was going to go to the hot spring village to relax, Master Gu didn't say anything, but Gu Yunyan sneered and said, "I'm leaving Gu's mansion in a few days, when will mother come back? We can't leave the house without a mistress, Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a mess?”

Ji Jiaqian glanced at her, and said with a smile: "What did the second girl say? With you here, how can the family be in chaos? But if you are away for two or three days, the Gu family will not be in a mess. Isn't your sister-in-law still there?"

Looking lightly at Gu Yunyan again, Ji Jiaqian narrowed her eyes and said: "Speaking of which, the rules of the Hou Mansion are very strict, and I didn't expect to hire a teacher for the second girl before. If you are rude in the future, you will be in trouble, sir. What do you think?"

Master Gu is naturally reluctant to let Gu Yunyan suffer, but he also understands that she is now going to the Hou Mansion as a concubine. In just a few days, if I trouble Madam to invite a nanny who is familiar with the rules to teach Yan'er for a few days, it can be regarded as complete mother-daughter bond between you two."

"It's natural, such trivial matters don't need to be ordered by the master, just don't worry." Ji Jiaqian got into the carriage and walked away. As for the teaching nun, she just needs to inform Madam Hou and invite a strict nun to come over. .

Even if it's only a few days, she won't let Gu Yunyan have a good time.
