This is a white cat, similar in size to those seen before, but its meow, or rather the sound the cat makes, is different from either of the two cats that just guided Ji Jun's master and servant.
Although she couldn't tell which voice belonged to the tabby cat and which to the white cat.
But in such a short interval, Ji Jun could tell that the two cats' meows were different.
The white cat just meowed once, then lay down under a tree and looked at Ji Jun quietly.
Suddenly, the white cat arched its body, looking alert.
However, it seemed that it did not feel the danger, so the white cat walked slowly around the tree.
Then, he jumped a few times, disappeared into the grass, and disappeared!
Jijun looked around and found no one from Chen Guogong's residence. Then she consulted Maidong with her eyes. Maidong also observed carefully, then shook his head to her and said that the area was safe.
Ji Jun then pretended to be admiring the flowers and plants in front of him, and naturally walked to the tree surrounded by white cats.
This is a relatively thick willow tree, about fifty or sixty centimeters in diameter, with luxuriant branches and leaves.
Ji Jun circled around the tree like a cat, and then she looked up. She saw that the tree crown was huge, almost completely blocking the sunlight. At first glance, there was nothing special about it.
Looking along the gaps between the branches and leaves, I saw no bird's nest or other things on it, just like what appears in some movies and TV shows, where there are letters, baggage and the like placed among the lush branches and leaves.
So Ji Jun turned around again and looked at the tree trunk. She gently stroked the tree trunk with her hand and slowly looked carefully at everything she could see.
Suddenly, Ji Jun found several oval or semicircular blood marks on the tree trunk. He carefully identified the bloody fingerprints!
Because the bark of the tree is rough, the fingerprints are not very clear, and the blood stains are faint, so it is impossible to tell which finger the fingerprints belong to, but there are seven in total.
Ji Jun looked at the distribution of the seven bloody fingerprints, and she felt very distressed.
Because Ji Jun felt that there might be some kind of secret hidden in it, but because of her observation of details, she was far inferior to Ji Min and Shaoyao. Perhaps Ji Min or Shaoyao can see more clues here through the position, size, or shape of these seven fingerprints.
Ji Jun pretended to press it with his hand, floating on top of a few fingerprints, then gently touching and sliding around the guide, applying appropriate force, but found nothing.
But it is unrealistic to call Ji Min or Shaoyao over now, so Ji Jun can only remember the location of the tree first, and at the same time ask Ophiopogon japonicus to remember it too.
Then Ji Jun tried his best to remember the shapes of these seven fingerprints and other characteristics in his mind.
Then he and Maidong slowly met Ji Min and the others.
Ji Jun thought, today's harvest is not too small. Although there are many doubts in it, it cannot be solved in a short time.
Chen Guogong's mansion was full of crises, but it was still not suitable for their reckless actions.
After returning to the garden, Ji Jun realized that he had missed something.
The four elder princes of Da Zhou are here!
The second prince, the third prince, the fifth prince and the sixth prince!
The fourth prince was said to be ill and did not come.
Looking at the expressions of some young ladies around him, Ji Yun thought to himself, well, now there is one less chance to enter the royal family!
Ji Min quietly told Ji Jun that Chen Guogong specially built a small garden on the west side of the garden to entertain several princes, princes and some young men from aristocratic families. Zhou Huan, Zhou Biao and Li Mi all went to accompany the princes.
At the same time, some noble ladies were invited into the small garden, all of them were the legitimate daughters of officials of second rank or above. For example, the princess of Yangxu County, the granddaughter of Prime Minister Qi, Li Fanling, Nangong Yan, Juqu Qingshan, Ning Guogong, Qin Guogong and other girls from the royal family.
Ji Jun understood and secretly thought that it was no wonder why Yuyan's eyes were red. He was holding back tears and was angry at the same time. They had already made an internal decision, so he was not even qualified to participate!
Ji Jun breathed a sigh of relief. First, he didn't have to kneel down to the princes.
Secondly, I was also worried that Ji Min would be targeted by some prince with evil intentions. He pretended to be friendly to Ni'er, which aroused the jealousy of others and caused him to be retaliated against.
Just as he was about to take the opportunity to have something to eat and drink and enjoy the garden of Chen Guogong's mansion, Juqu Qingshan came over with Yuyan and Shangguan Xuebi on her arm.
Juqu Qingshan has a beautiful face, but her eyes always flicker, making her uncomfortable. She shook the fan lightly and said with a smile, "How come you didn't see Miss Ji just now, but you deliberately avoided us and went there to see some beautiful scenery?"
Did you secretly go see the princes?
Ji Jun looked cold. Nangong Yan and Juqu Qingshan were fully aware of her and Yi'er's methods, but they didn't even remind her, and they naturally saw that she and Yi'er were in danger.
Ji Jun would not forgive Juqu Qingshan so easily.
This is not a simple joke, it is life and death!
Afterwards, Nangong Yan left in embarrassment, and Juqu Qingshan did not change much, which shows his cold-bloodedness.
Such people are like poisonous snakes, no one can warm her heart.
Ji Jun wanted to say that he could just walk around, but she wouldn't believe it. Simply silent.
Shangguan Xuebi smiled and said,
"Miss Ji has dedicated so much to the Li family army, but she has not been able to wait for the long-lived reward. It is good to get the approval of His Highness the Prince. But now, she can't even see the faces of the princes. Shouldn't she be looking for a place to secretly wipe her tears? ?”
Ji Jun frowned slightly, feeling that both Shangguan Xuebi and Shangguan Xuesheng were like cockroaches that could not be beaten to death, not fatal, but extremely disgusting!
Yuyan sighed,
"The Ji family sisters often go to the "good neighbor" to do work in person, which is very hard. However, fortunately, the business is booming, which makes it worthwhile for the two sisters to go out early and come home late. The royal family does not know about such hard work, and I feel sorry for my sister."
Ji Min frowned displeasedly.
Why is it related to "good neighbors"?
Juqu Qingshan looked at Jijun and said,
"For the sake of Li Jiajun, the two Miss Ji have put a lot of thought into it. However, just because of their father's rank, they have not had the opportunity to get to know the princes and several young men from aristocratic families. What a pity!"
Ji Jun looked at her coldly and said,
"What do you mean? What do you think?"
If you have something to say, say it! I don’t have time to guess and go around with you!
Shangguan Xuebi said angrily,
"Miss Juqu wants to help you, what's your attitude?"
help me?
"Don't believe it!" Ji Jun told them directly.
Too lazy to explain.
Yu Yan pouted and said,
"Sister Ji, you have misunderstood Miss Juqu's intentions! She means well!"
Shangguan Xuebi continued,
"Yes! Miss Juqu can ask Mrs. Juqu to recognize the three of us as adopted daughters, so that we can go to the small garden!"
Ji Jun looked at the three of them. Juqu Qingshan looked confident, her face was beaming with joy, and Shangguan Xuebi couldn't contain her excitement.
Yu Yan came over to hold Ji Jun in her arms and said happily,
"Sister Ji, by then we will all be a family! Our status will be noble, how great!"
Shangguan Sprite,
"That's right! As long as you give half of the income from "good neighbor" to Mrs. Juqu as a meeting gift, Mrs. Juqu can tell Mrs. Li Guogong's Crown Prince that she can let you enter the Duke's mansion as a noble concubine! We will be a good concubine, you Not satisfied yet?"
Ji Jun, Ji Min "..."
A row of crows, sparrows, woodpeckers, parrots fluttered by!
I'm going to spend 50% of my "good neighbor" money to get my whole mother back!
Then, I have to be grateful and be someone's little wife!
It seems that in the future, "Good Neighbor" should launch three new burritos:
"People are stupid"!
"More money"!
"Come quickly"!
Ji Jun almost subconsciously looked at the ground to see if the shadows of the three people were still there. Was he possessed by a ghost?
Ji Jun and Ji Nian were speechless.
But Juqu Qingshan thought they were hesitating and thinking about bargaining.
"You two sisters, please feel free to ask for anything. I'm a very talkative person!" She said as if she were the matron of the house.
Ji Jun looked at Juqu Qingshan steadily and said sincerely,
"These days, if you have money, you have to find a way to spend it, right? Some people can't buy an official position even if they have a lot of money. I can use money to buy the status of a second-class lady's adopted daughter. I really have to thank Miss Juqu. It’s my heart!”
Juqu Qingshan lowered her head shyly, her eyes flashing with success and viciousness.
Wang and her mother were discussing her marriage to Li Mi.
Li Mi had Ji Jun in her heart. If the Wang family compromised and took Ji Jun into the Duke's mansion, she would not be able to deal with it.
As for Shangguan Xuebi, she looks good, but has a vicious mind and is not easy to manipulate.
But the Marquis of Huai'an's beauty is beautiful, brainless, and easy to control.
Let the three of them fight to the death!
Juqu Qingshan promised Shangguan Xuebi and Yuyan respectively that as long as Jijun was subdued, she would make Yuyan or Shangguan Xuebi their "equal wives."
In fact, Yuyan didn't have any too persistent thoughts on whether to join the royal family, especially after meeting Li Mi, this thought became even weaker.
I think it would be good to enter Duke Li's Mansion. If you want to be a concubine, you can be a concubine. Her aunt is still a concubine, and she can't still call the shots in the Hou Mansion.
In this way, with Juqu Qingshan's encouragement, and with the scare of some concubines who were killed and maimed in the prince's palace in the past, Yuyan wanted to enter Duke Li's palace even more!
Juqu Qingshan felt that there had been rumors in the court recently that ministers were asked to donate money to the frontline soldiers. Although the Shangshu Mansion was not short of money, it would be very painful to donate like this. By the time she gets married, the dowry will have shrunk.
At this time, wouldn’t it be the best of both worlds to get a “good neighbor”?
Juqu Qingshan's abacus was just going on when she heard Ji Jun sneer and say,
"A mother is a mother if she has breasts. How can your mother still have breasts at such an old age? How can she still have the dignity to be someone else's mother if she has no breasts?"
Shangguan Xuebi and Yuyan, "..."
This, this, this, is so vulgar! It's so unbearable!
But if it enters the ear and is still remembered, what should I do?
Juqu Qingshan's smiling face froze for an instant, with a trace of ferocity emerging, she gritted her teeth and said,
"You have offended Nangong Yan and have no backer. Are you not afraid that the Queen and the uncle will come to settle the score with you?!"
"Afraid!" Ji Jun admitted frankly. Then he said,
"But you're overthinking it! I don't need you to be a second-rate dealer with nothing to show for it!"
Juqu Qingshan didn't understand what "second-rate dealer" meant, but "dealer" was definitely not a good word. The "empty-glove white wolf" that followed directly exposed her thoughts, and she couldn't help but feel angry and annoyed.
Ji Jun sneered,
"There are many dignitaries in the capital who are willing to accept adopted daughters. I will directly give half of the "good neighbor" to Uncle Guo. Maybe she will be Uncle Guo's adopted daughter, who is better than you!"
Shangguan Xuebi saw this and said angrily,
"Uncle Guo will not take your dirty money! You have a beautiful idea!"
"Hmph! You have such a beautiful idea!" Shaoyao couldn't bear it any longer and shouted.
Then, Shaoyao said again,
"I've never seen a young lady from any house arrange for a concubine before she's even married. Are you worried that you won't be embarrassed if you marry her?"
Ji Jun "..."
Emma, what a stroke of genius! She and Ni'er really couldn't say this, although they thought so in their hearts.
Ji Min, "..."
yes! There is not even a single stroke of the eight characters, what kind of music is this Juqu Qingshan putting there?
My eldest cousin just sent someone to tell me...
"Ahem!" Ji Jun ignored Juqu Qingshan's livid face, smiled awkwardly, and said,
"Shaoyao, you haven't studied hard recently. This is called preparing for a rainy day, being prepared for danger in times of peace, taking precautions before they happen, and being prepared for any danger. Do you understand?"
Shaoyao frowned and shook his head, saying,
"Miss, I think this is counterproductive! Haste over haste!"
"Speak humanly!" Ji Jun corrected.
The peony is thrown to the ground loudly,
"It's just that she might have married the eldest cousin, but after all this trouble, she won't be able to get married!"
"You——!" Juqu Qingshan was extremely angry, pointing at the peony, trembling!
So infuriating! He actually cursed her!
"No need to point!" Shaoyao was not to be outdone, and her next sentence shocked Juqu Qingshan to the point of thunder.
"It's a waste of time! The eldest cousin told the Long Live Lord that the Duke and the Crown Prince are seriously ill. The eldest cousin has sworn not to talk about marriage for at least three years! If you want to marry, marry the Crown Prince. He is so happy! The prince is well, and our eldest cousin can get married! You are married too!"
Ji Jun, "..."
Forehead! This girl is not good at math!
