Chapter 663: A dilemma
Ji Yaoshen didn't know about this issue.
"I don't want to marry too far, I want to find someone to marry in Beijing nearby. Ji Yao sighed deeply, "Only by marrying in Jingli can I take care of my mother and younger brother, as well as your aunt nearby." ”
Li Qianqian was stunned for a moment, and then remembered who she was talking about, and she was not curious about this little aunt, because judging from her age, when she was born, her mother had already come to Nanchu.
Her mother's biological mother is her maternal grandfather's first match, and the current eldest grandson is the stepfamily, and the little aunt is a concubine, although they are all daughters of the eldest grandson's family, but her father did not treat the little aunt differently because of this.
Li Qianqian looked at Ji Yaoshen thoughtfully, and looked at Ji Yaoshen with a straight hair in his heart, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing. Ji Yaoshen dragged her little aunt into Prince Ping's mansion, what was her intention, Li Qianqian didn't have to ask her, she could imagine it.
The eldest grandson Rulan wanted to find someone to marry in Nanchu, but her father refused to marry her as a continuation, and she didn't want to go back to Xiyue to continue living under the control of her mother-in-law, what should she do? It just so happened that Ji Yao deeply hoped that someone could help her protect her mother and younger brother when she was not at home, and when the eldest grandson Rulan used her to enter the general's mansion and wanted to get close to Li Jing, since she failed to get her wish and wanted to find someone to marry in Southern Chu, then becoming the concubine of Prince Ping was a good destination for the eldest grandson Rulan.
And as a prince's concubine, the degree of food and clothing is several times higher than that of the concubine of the eldest grandson's family.
How nice!
Li Qianqian came back to his senses, and Ji Yaoshen was talking about the discord between Prince Ping and his wife.
"Your father and your mother-in-law are at odds?"
"yes! It's not a matter of a day or two. "Ji Yaoshen grew up in a different environment from ordinary people, her mother has been instilling in her, as a concubine, Li Qianqian, was born to serve her as a concubine.
But later events, one after another, directly impacted Ji Yaoshen's three views, her mother was not the wife of a famous media in Li Jingshi at all, she was not the daughter of Li Jingshi, she was not a noble concubine in her mother's mouth, but an illegitimate daughter who was not even as good as a concubine.
This is also the reason why she later actively entered the palace of Prince Ping, she can't become a concubine in this life, so she is also a concubine, why should she be the concubine of the second room of the Li family, she is not the biological daughter of the second master of Li, since the concubine is decided, it is better to recognize the ancestors and return to the ancestors.
It's just that the life of Prince Ping's Mansion is not easy, his father and mother-in-law are not in harmony, and his mother-in-law's control of the inner courtyard makes Ji Yao take a deep look, and only feel that the lives of the aunts and concubines living in the Li family are really good, although Mrs. Li and her concubines are not generous people, but compared to Prince and Princess Ping, the two of them are definitely good people.
Li Qianqian asked about her life's events, and she only knew that her father probably wouldn't have too many opinions on this matter.
Ji Yao smiled deeply and asked about Li Qianqian's marriage.
"I'm still early! My two elder brothers have not yet married, and my third brother has not heard from me yet, so they are not married, so how can I rest assured that I will get married. ”
"What about your master? I am in Beijing, and I always hear people say that your master is good-looking and rich, and although he is older, many people in Beijing want to recruit him as a son-in-law!"
Really? Why had she never heard of it?
Seeing Li Qianqian's eyes widen in disbelief, Ji Yaoshen said again, "There are also the three sons of Fengjiazhuang, many girls in Beijing were very sad when Fengjiazhuang moved out of the capital, I heard that in those months, the business of rouge gouache in Jingli fell sharply. ”
"Huh, why is that?"
"Because they don't have a chance again, they meet them on the street unexpectedly!"
Because they will no longer meet their favorite people on the street, the big girls in Beijing are sad and sad, and they don't want women to be pleasing to themselves, and the business of rouge gouache naturally plummets.
It's really ...... "And what happened later?"
"Later, it was the Jianghu Records that launched a vote and elected the four sons of the capital. ”
Then the girls in the capital saw different thoughts and thought about the newly popular four sons of the capital.
After Li Qianqian asked, he realized that when he went to an inn, the sons he met on the road were the four sons of the capital!
Li Qianqian tried very hard to recall their appearance, but unfortunately, she just couldn't remember it, she only remembered that they seemed to look good.
"I'm not in a hurry, there are several sisters in my family who are older than me and have not been engaged, and my mother-in-law is too busy just worrying about their marriage, so I am not in a hurry. ”
Li Qianqian thought for a moment and asked tentatively, "What do you think of that Shang Shaobao Lord today?"
Let me tell you, our gentleman once took us to a garden in Beijing for a spring tour, and saw a peacock in the garden. ”
"Where did the peacocks come from?"
"Well, I heard that it was raised in the fief of a prince of the previous dynasty, after the fall of the previous dynasty, the Zhongzhou continent has experienced decades of natural disasters and man-made disasters, and the descendants of the prince can't even keep the house, and naturally they can't keep those rare birds and beasts, so they can only sell it at a cheap price, and the person who bought his house didn't spend much money. ”
Li Qianqian nodded and signaled her to continue, Ji Yaoshen happily continued, it turned out that the person who bought the prince's mansion was not a native of the capital, but a wealthy businessman from other places, and originally bought the house to have a place to stay when he went to the capital of Nanchu to do business, but later found that in this mansion, there were not only exotic flowers and plants, but also rare birds and beasts.
Of course, after so many years of disasters, most of the exotic flowers and plants are dead, and those who survive are also half dead, as for rare birds and beasts, in fact, there are only a few species left, such as monkeys, peacocks and swans, and other beasts that eat a lot of food, as early as the natural disasters died.
And the remaining monkeys and other beasts were all skinny at that time, and there was only one breath left, after all, the master himself could not support himself, where did he get the money to buy food for them to eat?
After the merchant bought the house, his brain moved quickly, after the Southern Chu Dynasty was established, the capital was bound to prosper, and he let a few of his attendants who were good at raising horses to feed these animals, the monkeys were dexterous, the peacocks were picky eaters, and the swans were easy to raise, and the attendants spent a lot of effort to finally see the results.
At the same time, the exotic flowers and plants in the house also let people clean up, and find someone to buy flowers and trees, dismantle the courtyard in the house that has been in disrepair for a long time, repair it, and then pick three o'clock in March, let people enter the park for free.
The Southern Chu Dynasty was new, there were not many places for people to have fun in Beijing, and this garden just allowed these princes and nobles in Beijing to have a fun place, so it became an instant hit, and since then, it has become a well-known scenic spot in Beijing.
After Li Qianqian heard what she said, she looked thoughtful, which made Ji Yaoshen think that she had said something wrong, and she didn't want Li Qianqian to smile at her, and said, "I'm worried, what new things should be added to the newly built inn to attract guests! ”
"Really?" Ji Yao smiled sweetly, "It's a pity that I can't see it open." She said with regret.
is also said that after they return to Beijing, Ji Yaoshen will return to the control of Prince Ping, and she thinks that soon after, the princess will arrange to marry, no matter where she marries, she should not have the opportunity to live in the hot spring inn after the opening.
The atmosphere was a little depressed for a while, and the maids around Ji Yaoshen didn't dare to breathe, Chunjiang glanced at them and stepped forward gently, "Sect Master, do you want to keep Miss Ji for lunch today?"
"Ahh You hurry up and tell the kitchen to make a few of Miss Ji's favorite dishes. ”
"Yes. Chunjiang nodded and retreated, Ji Yao looked at her and sent away the maid beside her, "It's still the maid next to you who is capable." ”
"It's all taught. Li Qianqian smiled, "Don't forget, how long have they been waiting by my side, how long have the maids around you been with you, if you want them to use, you have to teach them, and you have to be careful, they are all bought by you outside, after returning to the prince's mansion, their rules will definitely be picked by the princess, if you don't want to be found by the princess later, you have to be strict with their rules." ”
Li Qian took a sip of tea, and saw that Ji Yaoshen looked in a dilemma, and didn't ask her what she was embarrassed about, and pointed out directly, "You know, the more reluctant you are to let them suffer now, and when they are taken away from you by the princess, do you think the princess will give them a good place to go? Or just beat them up and sell them into the Qinglou?"
Ji Yaoshen replied directly, "No, if she does this, it will not only affect my reputation, but also her daughter and granddaughter." ”
Li Qianqian rolled her eyes, "You think she will make people do this blatantly?"
"Is there any other way?"
"There are so many ways, only what you can't think of, and nothing she can't think of. Li Qianqian said.
Ji Yaoshen opened her mouth to refute, but after thinking of her mother-in-law's actions over the years, she had to believe Li Qianqian.
"It's not like you haven't been in the inner house, how come you know more than I do?"
The inner house at the time of the Li Jing can be said to be clean, there is no housewife, no concubine room, and no room, where did Li Qianqian know these privacy?
"You know what Fengjiazhuang does, right?" Li Qianqian didn't want Ji Yaoshen to know too much about Rui Yao's teaching, so she didn't want to tell her about the pigeon guard, so she pushed the matter to Fengjiazhuang, anyway, Ji Yaoshen knew that she was good friends with the three sons of the Feng family.
"Yes. When Ji Yao heard her say this, she reacted.
Since Fengjiazhuang is in the intelligence business, he is afraid that he will not be clear about the methods of those women in the inner house, so he listened to her reminder, and after returning to the Jiang family, he began to strictly demand the rules of the people around him.
After coming to Ji Yaoshen's side, the people who have been living loosely have been quite uncomfortable with such a high-intensity training suddenly, and a few maids thought that their masters were easy to talk to, so they thought about going to Ji Yaoshen to protest, and they didn't want to hear the maids who followed Ji Yaoshen to divide the rudder this day, talking about the conversation between Li Qianqian and Ji Yaoshen.
"Our young lady is the daughter of the Prince of Jingli's mansion?" said a maid in surprise.
"Yes, so Sect Master Li said to Miss, for our good, we have to ask for our rules, otherwise, after entering the mansion, if the princess picks our faults, although Miss is our master, she is just a concubine begging for a living under the princess, that can't keep us, if you want not to be thrown out of the mansion, let's learn the rules honestly!"
The other maid said, "We're finally living a good life, and no one wants to be sent to that filthy place, right?"
"When the princess sends people, what kind of place will she send people to?"
"Who knows, can you guarantee that it will, or won't?"
"In short, everyone be honest, God knows what kind of new master we will meet if we are sent out?" "The current master has a good temperament, he will not beat and scold them at every turn, and his food and clothing are better than their previous masters.
Because of the admonition of these maids, Ji Yaoshen asked them to learn the rules, and it finally went smoothly.
Mrs. Jiang watched it for a few days, and when she went back, she called the maids around her to audit, and asked several of her daughters' maids to follow along.
The wives of the other rooms secretly laughed at her, and even let the maids learn the rules from a concubine, even if it was from the prince's mansion?
Mrs. Jiang just seized the time and let the maids learn, but also quietly let her daughters follow to learn.
Mrs. Jiang's family saw that she had not been notified for a long time, and when Li Qianqian and Ji Yaoshen came to the house as guests, they came directly to the door.
"Our lady is busy! The maids around her should have followed from Beijing to wait, but unfortunately they were blessed, and they fell ill when they left the capital, so Sect Master Li helped her choose the people who were waiting, you also know, the rules of the Jingli clan are big, she is afraid that these people will not be able to be raised, but after returning to Beijing, they were sent away by the princess because of the poor rules, and they have been busy staring at them to learn the rules for the past two days!"
"What's this! If you don't learn the rules well, if you send them away, you will send them away, won't the princess give her the people to wait?"
"That's right, but in the end, it was given by my mother-in-law, can she use it with confidence?"
"This ......" is the head of the house who was born as a concubine, and suddenly heard Mrs. Jiang speak from the position of a concubine, and she didn't know how to react for a while.
Mrs. Jiang didn't want to talk too much to them, anyway, she could dispel their plan to invite Li Qianqian and Ji Yaoshen to her house as guests.
"Your young lady is busy, but what about Sect Master Li? don't you tell her she's busy too?"
"To be honest with you, she is busier, I heard that the Ruiyao Sect is going to build an inn near Shuilan City, she is busy with this, our master has asked people to send worship posts several times, Menzi said, their family leader is so busy that his feet do not touch the ground, and now I don't know whether the person is in the city or in the new site of the inn. ”
Even if the aunts were suspicious, they couldn't say that Mrs. Jiang was a liar, so they could only leave in a huff.
