cook maid concubine

Chapter 217
Bodhi House

When Ji Nanjin was led in by the maid, the old lady was doing morning class, and Princess An was there, sitting at the head of the old lady, drinking the tea served by the maid, and it seemed that she had been here for a long time.

Hearing Ji Nanjin's footsteps entering the room, the old lady opened her eyes and handed the wooden fish and Buddhist beads to the maid behind her.After taking the newly served tea from the servant girl, she slowly said, "How is Princess Eleven?"

The maid moved the chair, and Ji Nanjin took the opportunity to sit down and said, "The imperial doctor took the medicine after seeing it, and now there is nothing serious."

The old lady then said: "How do you plan to deal with this matter?"

Ji Nanjin said: "The princess's poisoning was caused by her own body, not the responsibility of the red line. The queen mother has promised not to pursue it."

The old lady glanced at him, and her eyes were a little dignified: "Brother Jin, you have always acted prudently and thoughtfully, and your grandmother and your father, queen, mother and concubine never interfered with you, but this matter is related to the princess, and it also involves the palace. .Grandmother just wants to remind you that even if the queen mother and the eleventh princess don't pursue it, our palace should give an explanation."

"Grandmother thinks how to deal with it?" Ji Nanjin asked quietly.Based on his understanding of the old lady, the other party must have already thought about what to do.

The old lady didn't beat around the bush, and said straight to the point: "Since you brought that girl to Beijing because of me, and now, my health is much better, you should send someone to send that girl back in these two days."

"Grandmother?" Ji Nanjin frowned. Although she didn't refuse in person, the expression on her face already represented his attitude.

"Why, you don't want to?" The old lady looked at her, and after a while she said: "Forget it, your grandmother saw you growing up, and your grandmother is not willing to force you. Since you are reluctant to send her away, then find Let her take over the house as soon as possible! It will also avoid any more troubles." After a pause, he said: "Grandma is not stupid, you and I know what is going on with Princess Eleven, if you don't want to If things like this happen again, there are only two ways to send the person away and take over the house as soon as possible.”

"She and I are not what grandma thinks." Ji Nanjin said.

The old lady's face was never serious before, and she interrupted him: "I don't care what's going on with you two, anyway, this matter can only be resolved in this way. In addition, I want to ask you, do you agree with Shi Shi? What do you think of the princess's marriage?"

"Princess Eleven is not suitable for grandchildren." Ji Nanjin said lightly.

The old lady nodded: "Grandmother understands what you mean, but you are not too young, it is time to consider starting a family, since you think Eleven Princess is not suitable, do you have other suitable candidates in your mind?"

Ji Nanjin said: "Grandson has not considered this matter for the time being."

The old lady said: "Since you don't have a suitable candidate in mind, your mother and concubine and I have considered one for you. What do you think of Wang's cousin?"

"Grandmother means cousin Lingxuan?"

The old lady nodded and said: "That's right, the Wang family is the head of the family, with strict upbringing and strict rules. It is also your uncle's family, and they know each other well. And your cousin was also raised by us. She is beautiful and talented, and the most rare thing is that she has a gentle temper and is generous in dealing with things. It must be great for you to marry her."

Ji Nanjin said: "My grandson knows that my grandmother and my concubine are all for my own good. It's just a matter of marriage. Can I allow my grandson to think about it again. My cousin is very good, but my grandson has never thought of anything else."

The old lady didn't give him a chance to refuse, and her attitude was a little tough: "Then start thinking now. We all know that you have been very measured since you were a child, and you have never let us down, so we don't want to interfere too much You. It’s just a matter of marriage. Since ancient times, you have obeyed the orders of your parents and the words of the matchmaker. If you have someone in mind, your mother and concubine and I can also help you. As long as the family background is decent, we can also follow you. But since you don't have a favorite candidate, then follow the arrangement of me and your mother and concubine. This matter has been decided, and I will find someone to go to the Wang family to propose marriage someday."

When it comes to proposing marriage, Ji Nanjin can't help but think of Qian Hongxian.That girl wanted to protect her matchmaker wholeheartedly, if she knew that the family was planning to find someone to propose marriage to him but didn't find her, she would definitely be angry!
Then she withdrew her thoughts and said to the old lady: "Grandmother, my grandson has not thought about starting a family for the time being. My cousin is very nice, but she is not the type my grandson likes."

"Then what do you like? As long as you tell me, grandma will find it for you." The old lady's attitude was very firm, and she made up her mind to settle his marriage this time.

Ji Nanjin said: "Emotions are all about fate, and my grandson hasn't found his fate yet."

The old lady thought for a while and then said: "In this case, let's hold a flower viewing feast in the name of Prince An's Mansion. Didn't Ji Guogong's Mansion also hold it some time ago? I heard that we only invited a few that we were optimistic about in advance. Let's invite more this time. Some, when the time comes, invite all the noble girls who are not engaged in marriage in the capital, and you can see what you like. As long as the family status is not too low, you can marry in and be the eldest concubine of my Prince An's mansion." Pause He added: "But if you still can't choose at that time, you must follow the arrangement of me and your mother and concubine, and get engaged to your cousin."

Ji Nanjin knew that if she didn't agree to this matter, the old lady would definitely not be able to pass this test today. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "The grandson can agree to grandma on this matter, but can the matter of the red line be handled by the grandson himself?"

The old lady glanced at him, a little uncertain about the other party's attitude, she thought he was interested in that girl, but she had already let go and agreed with him to accept the house, but he said no.Moreover, I didn't expect the other party to let go of the engagement so easily. I thought it would take a lot of effort for them to convince each other.Could it be that I was thinking too much?However, she shouldn't be mistaken about the grandson she brought out with her own hands. This child is obviously not normal to that girl.The old lady thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a result, finally she sighed and said: "Forget it, as long as you agree to finalize the marriage, then the girl's affairs can be up to you for the time being."

As long as he is engaged, no matter what he thinks about that girl, it doesn't matter anymore.

As soon as the words were finished, Yun Ni came in from outside the house and said: "Old Madam, someone has come to the palace. It is the father-in-law who is serving the Empress Dowager, and said that it is the Empress Dowager who invited you into the palace to talk."

The old lady and Princess An looked at each other, and they both thought of a place to go.Frowning, the old lady said to Yun Chang: "You go back to the other party, just say that I will come soon." Then she said to Princess An: "The sooner this matter is done, the better, you go back and prepare, and finally Well, I will send out the post before I leave the palace."

Princess An stood up and said, "Mother, don't worry, my wife knows what to do."

The old lady nodded, then looked at Ji Nanjin and said, "The queen mother asked me to enter the palace at this time, she must be talking about your marriage with the eleventh princess, have you really made up your mind to reject this marriage? Although the eleventh princess is savage She is not too bad-tempered, and what she does is just a small fight, and it is all for you. Besides, among the princesses of the right age, she is the most favored by the Queen Mother and the Emperor, although I am sure The palace doesn't need to marry another princess to make things better, but if you marry her, it will be of some help to your future career. I think your father will be happy to see her."

Ji Nanjin said: "Grandson has his own plans for his future career, and I have to trouble my grandmother to mediate in front of the Queen Mother."

The old lady understood what he meant, nodded towards him, and then said to Yun Chang behind her: "Serve me and go in and change clothes."

Accompanied by the old lady's entry into the palace, Princess An organized a flower viewing banquet, and the news that Ji Nanjin was going to choose a concubine also spread like wildfire in the palace.

It was already noon when it reached Qian Hongxian's ears. She went back to her room to catch up on sleep after returning from the palace prison. She woke up from hunger and wanted to find something to eat when she saw He Xiaoxiao standing at the door with a tangled expression. It looks like you can't get in.He was startled to see her open the door and come out.

Seeing that her expression was wrong, Qian Hongxian couldn't help asking in doubt, "What's wrong with you?"

He Xiaoxiao looked at her, hesitant to speak, and finally made up his mind after a while, dragged her into the room, and closed the door on purpose, asking her with a serious expression: "Red line, what do you tell me?" Honestly, is there really nothing between you and Shizi?"

"What's the matter?" Qian Hongxian couldn't help becoming nervous by her appearance.

But He Xiaoxiao interrupted her and said, "Answer me first, do you really dislike Shizi?"

Qian Hongxian was so confused by her that she could only shake her head first.She admired Ji Nanjin, and of course she liked it a little bit, but she felt that she liked those celebrities.It should be different from the liking she said.

He Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good."

"What happened?" Qian Hongxian asked with raised eyebrows, she was sure now that something must have happened.And it should be related to Ji Nanjin, otherwise this girl wouldn't look like this.

He Xiaoxiao glanced at her again, making sure that what she just said was true, and then said: "Well, everyone in the house is saying that the old lady and the princess are going to choose the concubine for the son. And the son has already agreed .”

"Really?" Qian Hongxian's eyes lighted up. He was worried that after Ji Shuxuan's blind date was over, the two people's marriage would be put on the agenda again. He didn't expect that the second round would start so soon. up.

The poisoning of Princess Eleven made her want to leave again, and she was more determined than ever before. It would be the best if Ji Nanjin's marriage could be completed before leaving.

Seeing that she didn't look unhappy at all, He Xiaoxiao was sure that there was really nothing between her and Shizi. She was completely relieved, and her tone became lighter: "They also said that the old lady is in front of Shizi. The prince asked the prince to accept you into the room, but the prince refused, saying that he didn't like you at all, because everyone thought too much. Moreover, the prince also promised the old lady that if there is no girl he likes in this flower viewing feast, he will I want to marry Miss Cousin."

"Wang Lingxuan? It's a good match for that guy." Qian Hongxian nodded, but felt an inexplicable feeling in her heart.She really never had any other thoughts about Ji Nanjin. Apart from being stunned by the old lady's decision to let Ji Nanjin take over her house, she was also a little grateful. Fortunately, Ji Nanjin didn't agree, and she didn't want to be someone else's concubine Well, looking at the face of the mistress for the rest of her life, she would be suffocated to death.But when Ji Nanjin said that he didn't like her, he felt inexplicably disappointed.Red Line then interpreted this as self-esteem. After all, everyone wants to be loved by everyone. It is normal to feel disappointed when others say they don't like them.
