The New Year's goods that Xue Chuntao brought were very rich, and it could be seen that they had put a lot of thought into preparing them.In addition to some food, he even sewed two clothes for Ji Ran, which was a treatment that the former master had never enjoyed since he was a child.
"I haven't seen you for a while, our Ji brother seems to have grown up again." Xue Chuntao didn't mind Ji Ran's indifferent attitude at all, and said while taking out a piece of clothing from the blue cloth bag he brought and shook it off Open, and enthusiastically pulled Ji Ran back and forth to gesture, "Auntie, this dress was made last time when I went back, and the size is fatter and thinner than your height at that time. I think you have grown a lot. Well, I'm taller and stronger, and I don't know if I can wear it, so you try it on first, and if it doesn't fit, Auntie will change it for you."
After all, regardless of Ji Ran's willingness or not, he helped him put on the jacket.
Ji Ran is not blind, let alone what he eats and uses. The clothes are obviously made in Ji Xiaohu's size. He has grown taller and stronger. Ever since he wore it on the unlucky former owner, he is fat and thin. It hasn't changed at all.Some time ago, he made a height mark on the wall on a whim, and would measure it from time to time to see if he had grown taller, but he hadn't. After a few months, he didn't even say that he had grown taller, and he didn't even exceed the original mark line.
This Xue Chuntao used the new clothes made for her own son to curry favor with Ji Ran, which showed that she had no sincerity. So, what was in her mind should not be too obvious. The so-called weasel and chicken New Year's greetings were nothing more than that.
The last time Ji Dacheng came to 'borrow money', Ji Ran asked the other party to write evidence to make it very clear that no matter what the purpose of Xue Chuntao's success this time, he was too lazy to deal with it.He's not an idler, he doesn't have that much time to fight a belly lawsuit with a woman, but before Ji Ran could say anything, Uncle Chen stumbled in from outside with a panicked expression.
For such a long time, Uncle Chen has been a prudent person, and Ji Ran has always seen him in his eyes. He has never seen the other party panic like this. It is not only panic, but his face is pale, and his mouth is trembling for a long time. With one word, he just kept shaking his fingers and pointed in the direction of the door.
Uncle Chen was like this, not only Ji Ran was stunned, Xue Chuntao was also stunned, forgot to even pull Ji Ran to try on clothes.
"Uncle Chen, what are you doing in such a panic? What happened?" Ji Ran looked at Uncle Chen with a puzzled expression.
"Gong..." Uncle Chen swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva, and finally his throat became smooth, "There are people coming from the palace! A team of iron cavalry, dozens of people, and accompanying eunuchs, the slaves received the news from them, immediately Just arrive, let the master go out to pick him up!"
What the hell!
Now, Ji Ran was also dumbfounded.
He has been here for so long, and he has always dealt with a group of farmers with their faces facing the loess and their backs facing the sky. Why did he suddenly attract such a big shot from the palace? !
I thought that if the emperor bestowed the marriage, he would throw the blame away and ask, but it wasn't!
No matter how shocked Ji Ran is in his heart, Ji Ran has already arrived at the door of his house, and he still has to be greeted with courtesy, otherwise he will just be bickering, playing tricks, offending big shots, and losing his head every minute, this evil feudalism era!
Ji Ran panicked and was about to run out with Uncle Chen, but Lu Zhen grabbed his arm.
"Don't panic, I'll go and see who it is, you go back to the house and change your clothes, hurry up." Lu Zhen said.
"Oh, oh, good." After all, Lu Zhen is a general, and he must understand these methods. After being soothed by him, Ji Ran suddenly calmed down, nodded, and left the front yard and went straight to the wing room.
Ji Ran blew away like a gust of wind, leaving Xue Chuntao with a puzzled look on his face.
"Okay? What's good? Why does this sound so weird?" Xue Chuntao looked at Uncle Chen who was also blank, and felt that Ji Ran's reaction just now was a bit silly.
That's right, it's God talking!
When Ji Ran was about to leave, no one seemed to talk to him, right?However, he obviously wanted to go out with Uncle Chen, but somehow he made a good communication, but turned around and went inside.
Thinking of the two experiences of Ji Dacheng coming here before, Xue Chuntao looked around shyly, rubbed his arms, feeling a bit gloomy for no reason.
However, she was not delusional, because just now, Lu Zhen passed through her body and floated out.
Ji Ran didn't dare to delay when he returned to the room, he casually took out the clothes of good quality from the cage and changed into them. Seeing that he had taken care of it, he went out the door. Just as he left, Lu Zhen came back.
"Brother Zhen, what's the situation outside? Who are the people here?" Ji Ran asked eagerly as soon as he saw Lu Zhen.
Lu Zhen's expression was a bit strange, and he paused before saying, "Princess Yuning is here, and the accompanying eunuch is Eunuch Jiang, the head of the palace who is serving by the emperor. The group has just entered the village. Don't worry, just go out in time. The one who came to report the letter is a small soldier under Princess Yuning, so don't be too nervous."
Ji Ran nodded while striding down the corridor, heading straight for the front yard.
Lu Zhen walked side by side with him, "I don't know what they are here for, so don't panic for a while, I'll be watching over you, if you don't understand anything, just follow my instructions."
While talking, the two quickly arrived at the front yard.
Uncle Chen has already woken up, and he is currently receiving the messenger soldiers at the door.From a distance, Chen Shucheng nodded and said something to the soldier in fear, and made several gestures of invitation, but the soldier stood up straight and stood still. Uncle Chen probably didn't care. I got it, so I had to wipe my sweat with a smiling face.
"This military lord, I welcome you if you are far away. Forgive me!" Ji Ran walked over quickly, and greeted him with a smile before he arrived. When he got close, he bowed his hands to the soldier with neither humble nor overbearing.
This courtesy was remarkable, but Lu Zhen, who was a little behind, stretched out Erkang's hand, unable to stop him, and immediately glared at the soldier with a black face.It's out of style for the wife of a dignified general to give such a big gift to a soldier who has no rank.
It's not that Lu Zhen values those people who are polite, but he is just worried that Ji Ran will be looked down upon if he lowers his posture. Although his identity is there, in the eyes of others, Ji Ran is just a farmer with mud legs. Some people are used to seeing Dishes, if I can't afford my identity, I might be bullied by some little fish and shrimp.As for the county government back then, firstly, Lu Zhen wasn't there and didn't know the details, and secondly, it was forced by the situation at the time, and Ji Ran's bribery of the county magistrate was also an appropriate use of his status as the general's wife.
As for the people from the capital, especially those from the palace, etiquette and identity are particularly important.If you can't bear your identity, not to mention the general's wife, even the empress is equally likely to be bullied by dogs. Those people are no more than small places, with more minds.
Fortunately, the little soldier still knew how to be courteous, and he didn't deliberately make things difficult for Ji Ran's flattery. Instead, he respectfully returned Ji Ran's salute.
"No, Mrs. Lu is the general's wife. I don't dare to ask you to excuse me, but I couldn't go to greet Mrs. Lu in time due to my responsibility, so I would like to invite Haihan." The soldier clasped his fists and saluted.
Ji Ran was immediately embarrassed by the sound of Mrs. Lu, and choked for a long time without reacting.
On the contrary, Lu Zhen was pleased by Mrs. Lu's voice, and looked at Xiaobing much more pleasing to the eye.
After waiting outside the door for less than a moment, a group of cavalry came over.
Knowing that there was a princess on this trip, Ji Ran thought he would see a luxurious carriage or something, but there was nothing, all tall horses.Except for an old eunuch who sat crookedly, everyone else was heroic and full of energy.
Uh... what about the promised princess?But who can tell him, where is the princess?Could it be that the cavalry went first, and the princess and the phoenix were escorted behind?Doesn't make sense?
Just as Ji Ran was in a daze, a group of cavalry stopped in front of the door, and the leader immediately got off his horse. His movements were vigorous and handsome, even if he was a little thinner and shorter. Compared with the strong men behind him, this man A little too delicate.However, even so, the people in the entourage also respected this person, which shows that he is very prestigious.
After dismounting from the horse, the man wrapped the whip around his hands, and walked directly in front of Ji Ran. He was obviously shorter than Ji Ran, but he looked up with domineering arrogance.
"You are Ji Ran?"
As soon as the other party spoke, Ji Ran was stunned.
This is actually a woman!
Female... ah!Could this be that Princess Yuning? !
Ji Ran's brain twitched, he had woken up, and was about to salute, but Lu Zhen interrupted him in time before he could speak.
"Kneel down." Lu Zhen said, "To salute the princess, you have to kneel down." While speaking, he put his hand on Ji Ran's shoulder and pushed him down to his knees.
At this moment, Ji Ran had already reacted, and recalled the way of saluting in ancient costume dramas, and he saluted the person in front of him like a gourd painting, "Ji Ran has seen Your Highness the Princess."
Princess Yuning looked at Ji Ran critically, but raised her eyebrows when she heard this, "You know this princess?"
"Back to Your Royal Highness, Ji Ran doesn't know." Ji Ran confessed honestly.
"Oh?" Princess Yuning's slightly raised tone made it difficult to hear her emotions.
"I guessed it because I didn't see Princess Fengjia, and I heard that the princess's voice was not a man." Ji Ran lowered his head slightly, with a respectful but not flattering attitude, "His Royal Highness is here with the grand prize, I don't know, but what's the matter? "
"Ji Ran..." Princess Yuning chewed these two words, her expression froze for a while, and she said coldly, "Are you General Lu's married man?"
"Uh..." Ji Ran replied, "Yes."
Ji Ran was guessing the meaning of Princess Yuning's words, when she changed the subject, "Where is the memorial tablet of General Lu enshrined, can you take me there to worship?"
For... worship?
Uh, Lu Zhen's memorial tablet has been kept in the bedroom all the time, and it's not enshrined at all, so it occasionally gets dusty and wipes it with a cloth.
Right now the princess wants to see, how can he do it?
Seeing Ji Ran kneeling motionless with a tangled face, Princess Yuning frowned, "What?"
Ji Ran saw the coldness invading his body from Princess Yuning's gaze, so he quickly woke up and stood up.
"Of course, Your Highness, please follow me."
Ji Ran led the way, but instead of going to his and Lu Zhen's room, he took them to the living room.Warmly greeted people to sit down, served tea and served snacks, but Princess Yuning kept a cold face and remained unmoved.
"My princess asked you to take me to see the place where Lu Zhen enshrined the memorial tablet. What are you bringing me here for?" Princess Yuning looked around the living room and questioned Ji Ran, her face was a little ugly.
Ji Ran subconsciously glanced at Lu Zhen beside him, and then cupped his hands and said, "His Royal Highness, please wait for a while, the countryside is dirty and messy, it will bump into Fengjia, let me let someone..."
"No need." Before Ji Ran finished speaking, she was interrupted by Princess Yuning's impatience, "My princess is not that particular, just take me there."
"I haven't seen you for a while, our Ji brother seems to have grown up again." Xue Chuntao didn't mind Ji Ran's indifferent attitude at all, and said while taking out a piece of clothing from the blue cloth bag he brought and shook it off Open, and enthusiastically pulled Ji Ran back and forth to gesture, "Auntie, this dress was made last time when I went back, and the size is fatter and thinner than your height at that time.
