41 Chapter 26—The Death of the Father I

The banyan garden where the Xu family lives is the residence of the old feudal monarch in the family, and every time the owner is changed, it must be renovated again, and the courtyard is made of good mahogany, and the flower windows are carved with the pattern of Fulu Suxi.

The yard is very wide, the five main rooms are all green tile dragon spine, set with both sides of the corridor room and the left and right wings with a small garden, the door is carved with twenty-four filial piety figures, all the way over, the blue bricks in the courtyard can be seen by the light, in the eaves of the corridor and the small dents, it is actually the accumulated rain from the eaves dripping down and smashing open, the yard planted a Bodhi banyan tree, the crown is wide, there is a history of more than 100 years, at this time facing the autumn wind solemnly, the leaves rub and sway, but quite a bit of Zen.

At this time, the sky was dark, the shade of the trees was dark, only the octagonal beauty lamp hanging on the corridor shone a piece of light, and the group went from the outer courtyard to the inner courtyard, and found a lot of drinking and gambling money napping along the way.

"The old lady is ready to rest, the eldest son, what is there to talk about tomorrow. "The mother-in-law who guards the door is the Xu family quite relied on Zhuang Mama, she married with the Xu family, when the Xu family wanted to send Ji Yao to the room, the first tune was the ordinary face of the honest Zhuang Mama, at that time Zhuang Mama was also called Bizhi, she knew her own lady's character, but also knew how ruthless the mother's mother Li was, so she fell in love with the small Langjun of the housemaker, and then married out to be a housekeeper mother, now the old husband is gone, she returned to Xu's side for the sake of the children to get care, at this time I saw Da Lang Jun Wu pressure with a piece of people coming, my heart is a jump。

"It's that my grandson is not filial, and I couldn't see my grandmother in time when I returned home today. Ji Rin ignored her, stood in the middle of the courtyard and said loudly, and a group of small servants carried lanterns with red blessing characters on a white background to illuminate the entire courtyard, "I heard that my grandmother wanted to sleep, and I didn't want to disturb her, but the matter was big, and my grandson didn't dare to be self-conscious, so I asked my grandmother to forgive me." ”

After waiting for a while, the curtain of the big red gorilla felt in the main room was lifted from the inside, and a girl with a pink face and red lips wearing a light pink long bikina armor and a white embroidered goose magnolia skirt came out of it and saluted Ji Rin with crossed hands: "Please also invite Lang Jun in, the old lady is waiting." ”

Seeing this, Ji Rin really stepped in, and Mama Xin took Xu Yingke to follow.

In the center of the main hall, Xu sat on an armchair with a relief of pine and crane longevity patterns, with a big red blessing pattern backrest on his back and an autumn-scented stone bronze money pattern pillow. Today, she wears a ginger wrapped in a satin gown, a red gold middle coat, a red gold satin horse-faced skirt, a red gold satin skirt, a red jade forehead with a ginger background, and a brown embroidered gold thread auspicious pattern cloak on the outside, and the corners of her eyes are more and more sunken under the candlelight, as if gathering infinite sorrow and sorrow.

For a while, the girl with the curtain took a cyan satin futon and placed it in front of Xu, and Ji Rin lifted her sleeves and bowed.

"The old woman feels less, you will also pick a time to come to see me. Xu put a tea tray with a jasper carved peony pattern on a begonia-style carved lacquer table, and a glaze red group pattern tea bowl on it, Xu slowly raised his eyes and looked at Ji Rin and sneered, "I don't know you yet, and your father are printed in the same mold, and they have always been on the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, come to see me at night, maybe it's a happy event or an evil event, get up, spread it out or my grandson who is a grandmother, compare your eyes, go and bring a stool to Da Lang and pour some tea." ”

Ji Rin immediately stood up when she heard this, and the girl with the curtain hurriedly moved the stool and poured another cup of hot tea.

"My grandson hasn't seen me at the border for a long time, as if I remember the girl in front of my grandmother calling her wings?" Ji Rin walked all the way, but her heart became more and more empty.

"Biyi was released to marry three years ago when he was old. Xu snorted coldly, "Sure enough, just like your grandfather, they are all cold-hearted Ji family members, let's say, what the hell is going on." ”

"I can't hide it from my grandmother. "When Ji Rin was young, she heard her mother talk about her grandfather's and grandmother's past, and her heart was not worth her grandfather, and now she hears the girl next to her grandmother from flounder to Biyi, and then to today's Bimu, but she feels that the other party is also pitiful, "Today Rin and his friends are discussing in the study, and someone outside the door is eavesdropping, but it is the who sent the dinner, Rin is worried, the is a grandmother clan, and she is a lady in the guest house, how to be a maid?"

This Xu was furious when he heard this: "This is what you look like when you talk to your grandmother!" "The grandson has always been clumsy, and he asked his grandmother to forgive me." Ji Rin was sitting precariously, her face did not change, "I really don't know what little lady has reached the age of flowers, but she is not shy about socializing with foreign men?"

"Ji Rin, you are my descendant!" Xu was furious and took the tea bowl and threw it at Ji Rin, but she is now old and weak, and the tea bowl only fell on Ji Rin's shoulder, and the tea leaves fell to the ground, soaking Ji Rin's shoulder, "You have been guarding the border for several years, I thought that you were very beneficial in learning and being a great person, why is it not as good as the beginning? What is the family style of the person you are asking? Don't forget that you also have the blood of Jing Guogong!"

For a moment many of the servants knelt down.

"Auntie!" Ji Rin hadn't spoken yet, but Xu Yingke had already broken free of Mama Xin's hand and knelt down in front of Xu's with a plop, "Yingke has no face, she lives up to her aunt's expectations, and she has disgraced the Xu family......"

She originally expected that if the Xu family came forward for herself and forced Ji Rin to accept herself as a concubine, even if Ji Rin hated herself today, but as time went by, Ji Rin's family affairs were undecided, and she was confident that she could envelop Ji Rin's heart on herself, but now listening to Xu's words, I am afraid that she will definitely not allow herself to be Ji Rin's concubine.

"What about the mother-in-law who guards the door?" Xu saw that she was crying miserably, and a Luo skirt was stained with frost and dew on her body, and she was angry in her heart, she didn't fight and didn't listen to her own arrangement, but she felt that the poor little lady who looked like flowers and bones was disgusted by her sweetheart, and her heart softened most of it.

"The grandson has been tied up, and he will only be sent to the Zhuangzi tomorrow for people to guard, only saying that he is careless at night. As soon as Ji Rin heard her say this, he understood that his grandmother was only afraid that Xu Yingke would be raised high and put down, but his purpose now was not to ruin the reputation of this little lady, but to send the other party out of the house, "I only tired my grandmother to order someone to send Xu Niangzi back to the clan tomorrow, presumably she has served her grandmother for many years, and her parents must be very concerned about it." ”

"Auntie, Yingke is wrong, Yingke is really wrong, even from today onwards, I am willing to eat fasting and chant Buddha, I just ask my aunt and mother-in-law to bypass Yingke this time, Yingke will not dare to offend the eldest prince again. Xu Yingke was already born beautiful, and crying and begging like a pear blossom with a heavy drizzle, she looked more and more delicate and pitiful.

"were originally a guest house, and now they have reached the age of looking at each other, how can they be brought back to Ji's mansion, under the melon fields and plums, in the past, Rin was in the border pass, and now Rin is back, serving her grandmother day and night, and it is inevitable to meet when she goes to bed in the morning and dusk, if she is involved in the lady's reputation, but it is Ji Rin's sin. Ji Rin was full of surprise, as if the two had not crossed paths before.

"Auntie...... Auntie, mother-in-law at home is strict, and ask her aunt to take pity on Yingke...... "Xu Yingke is really afraid, if she had known that her self-determination was such an ending, she would not dare to hit Ji Rin's attention at anything, and the other party's neighborhood is almost like a flood beast in her eyes."

"Silly girl, wow, you go back tomorrow to stay for a while, and when Yuan Zhao returns to the border, I will pick you up." "Xu's early years under the stepmother to eat the head, she took Xu Yingke over the house, out of the other party is concubine, but also because the other party's mother-in-law is similar to her stepmother, she really doesn't want this girl to suffer from her own back then, but now it seems that she is also a blessing, not to mention that although she beat Xu Yingke to commit to Ji Rin as a concubine, that is also to Ji Rin is the head of the lady after passing the door, now the other party can see that the heart is big, but she has taken Xu Yingke with her for five or six years, that is, raising a cat and dog also raises feelings, not to mention that the other party is a careful and considerate person!

“…… Yingke thanked her aunt and mother-in-law. Xu Yingke knew that this was the best arrangement now, but her heart was full of cramps, if it wasn't for the Xu family to take her over, how could she have the idea of approaching Ji Rin, and even tied her heart to the other party, but now the Xu family doesn't care, but she is already seventeen years old, and which lady has not seen each other at this age? For a while, the ups and downs in her heart actually hated the Xu family, but she also knew that the other party was her only life-saving straw now, so she naturally would not show resentment on her face.

"Even so, the grandson will not disturb the grandmother's rest. Ji Rin saw that Xu promised to come down, and immediately got up to say goodbye.

"Go ahead. After all, Xu's years old, after this scene, his eyes were hazy at this time, and he was in a state of sleeping, so he waved his hand at Ji Rin, and the latter went by himself, and Mama Zhuang waited for her to sleep, Xu Yingke saw that no one paid attention to her, and thought that she would go home tomorrow, so she went back to the house for a long time and cried for a while.

This Ji Rin went back to the Evergreen Courtyard, but Mama Xin went to Huilan Garden, at this time Mrs. Ji Liang was only wearing half-new homely clothes and sat on the edge of the low couch to coax her young son to sleep.

"Yuan Zhao is still in a hurry. Mrs. Ji couldn't help but smile when she heard Mama Xin finish speaking, and saw that the baby in the cradle heard them babbling slightly, as if alarmed, Mrs. Ji hurriedly reached out and patted the young son gently, the child really fell asleep silently, she got up and took Mama Xin out of the house and sat down in the main hall, and the maid on the side hurriedly went to the soft towel pocket and the big cloak to put it on for her.

"You must have something to tell me, tell me. Mrs. Ji pointed to the pestle wrapped in red brocade on the side and motioned for Mama Xin to sit down and speak.

"The old slave looked at the eldest prince, and the Lang Jun he brought into the mansion today was very different. Mama Xin hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice.

"Are you really right?" Mrs. Ji pulled her cloak, tightened her hand, took out the cotton clothes, and looked sideways at Mama Xin, her eyes were as cold as the moon, and even more cold as snow.

"It is the one who Lang Jun confessed for him today. Mama Xin nodded.

"Where did he come from?" Madame Ji pondered, "What kind of person do you think he is?"

"I don't know the details, but I only know that the two Xiao Langjun who had dinner with Mrs. Ban today are his disciples. Mama Xin paused, "But he was also born rich and handsome, and his bearing was outstanding; only what Lang Jun said that he was not in good health is true, and he looked a little weak - and Lang Jun trusted him very much, he and Lang Jun had a word first, and when he saw what was important, Lang Jun sent Ke Lao to listen to his instructions." ”

"When it comes to a family like ours, there is no need to exchange the marriage of children for anything, as long as it is a good child, has outstanding conduct, and wants to match my son, it is not restrictive. "Mrs. Ji was born in Yuezhou, which borders Dali State, and lives together with Yi and Han, and it is not surprising that Mrs. Ji has seen a lot in the boudoir," There is also Ah Qi on the left and right, and now it seems that the difference between their brothers is 20 years old. ”

"Madame is also relieved. Mama Xin smiled when she saw it, "I don't know what Lang Jun is?"

"My husband is not such a narrow-minded person. The master and servant laughed a few more words, and then they all dispersed.
