Chapter 48: Meeting

The Ji family's house is smaller than the Song family, and the layout is more exquisite, except for the host's hospitality in the east, the circle behind it is enclosed, there are buildings, ponds, boats and bridges, which is considered an open land.

This Lord Ji, there is only one wife of Mrs. Ji, the garden is no longer divided into a small courtyard, separated for the aunt and the children to live, the house is not big, but there are many places in the back garden to move, the wall is the courtyard of the Wu family commanded by the Jinyi guard, and the two courtyards are separated by an octagonal pavilion, and the sisters can eat tea together on the pavilion.

After the landscape corridor, I saw a big Jiuhua Mountain when I entered the door, and there was a roll shed on the side of Jiuhua Mountain, and a seat was placed, and a woman with pink makeup sat in the middle.

Shi Gui is only a good wife of the Ye family, and it is the same as the Ye family, how do you know that it is not the same at a glance, under the big red and silver silk peony group flower jacket is a jade-colored brocade plate and gold skirt, a silk crown of gold silk eight treasures on the head, a jade carved chrysanthemum pattern pendant hanging on the waist, bright eyes, full of smiles, and pulled Ye with one hand: "I said you should come, and sure enough, you came." ”

After a few words of hustle and noise, Shi Gui'er looked back, but it was Song Zhimei standing with her two younger sisters, she was able to hold it with a strained face, no one greeted her, and followed closely.

Yu Rong Zezhi's face was tender, and he couldn't ask why his sister came out with him, so the two pulled each other's sleeves, smiled on their faces, and didn't say a word.

Shi Gui was secretly surprised, he saw Song Zhimei twice, and he didn't expect her to be so calm, she couldn't see it on her face, and she stood next to her two sisters affectionately, except that the clothes were more luxurious, and the golden lock on her chest looked like a family.

Mrs. Ji said hello, looked up at the three girls, although she had never seen Zhimei, but she knew the girl of the Song family, and laughed at this daughter who should be the second room: "I haven't seen this before." He smiled and gave the maid a look.

During the Double Ninth Festival, hairpins and dogwoods were to be made, and Song Zhimei was not prepared in the red lacquer plate, Mrs. Ji made a look, and the maid ring was added, and one person picked a color of color and hung it on the waist.

The little girl put on the chrysanthemum tea, Ye took a sip, Yu Rong Zezhi said hello, Song Zhimei bowed generously, and was about to sit next to Ye over her sisters, but Mrs. Ji nodded at them, and deliberately looked at Yu Rong Zezhi and said, "Ziyue has been waiting in the backyard for a long time, you can play together." ”

Yu Rong Zezhi nodded naturally, but Song Zhimei's face froze, Shi Gui suddenly understood, this Mrs. Ji, but there is also a son who is about to propose marriage, it turns out that the Gan family has such an idea, no wonder she has to let her daughter follow if she offends the old lady.

Song Zhimei was deliberately dressed up, that is, in a female dependent, she could also jump out immediately, with a red gold crown of twenty taels on her head, and hibiscus stones embedded on it, which matched her rose-red dress, and a few ladies who came early had already set their eyes on her.

With a word, Mrs. Ji sent these girls to the backyard to play, Shi Gui stayed outside the roll shed to obey the orders, Yulan Yingchun changed her eyes, and her eyes were full of smiles, Song Zhimei looked back while walking, most of her calculations were in vain, and she didn't stay to talk and act, these ladies couldn't even recognize which one she was.

I also knew in my heart that the Ye family would not do anything for her, and I hit Mrs. Ji's daughter again, this one can't say that he wants to choose the crown princess, and he has to be good friends with her, so he has to not be bad.

The roll shed was full of people in a short time, the stone road outside was lined up with begonia flowers, Shi Gui held a three-layer box with a stub inlaid with shells, and there was a silver spit box ivory comb and a small target mirror in it, following behind Yulan Yingchun, it was inevitable that his feet would be sore after standing for a long time, Yulan Yingchun was used to standing, and quietly pointed to a place: "You go there, you can also put the things in your hands, and you call someone inside, you come again." ”

Shi Gui nodded gratefully, avoided people and picked up a place to put down things, rubbed his hands to look at the Jiuhua Shanzi of the Ji family, after such a while, the people who were out of the roll call reported to the wives of several families, and if they didn't come, they also sent chrysanthemums.

The ladies who came were all headed by Mrs. Ji, all of whom were people with children, and when they came to Ye's place, she only smiled: "It is important to study in the shade hall, where can you start a family if you don't start a business." ”

As soon as the ladies heard it, it was that the marriage would have to be two years late, so they didn't mention him anymore, and the conversation turned around to the royal concubine: "There are no rules for many years, this is the first time, and I don't know which family can pick the treasure." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Mrs. Ji, Mrs. Ji just ignored it, raised her glass and drank a glass with Ye's family, Shi Gui listened clearly through the thick silk curtain outside the canopy, and Mrs. Ji pulled Ye to sit beside her, because of Ye's cold temperament, she didn't say anything about these things.

You say a word to me, except for the prince to choose a concubine, King Rui also wants to choose a concubine, the two are about the same age, it seems that the girl of the Ji family is either the crown princess or the princess Rui.

Mrs. Ji frowned: "It's so easy to hold a flower party, you can talk about these mundane things, why don't you go to the back garden and cut a few flowers to hairpins." ”

The master wants to visit the garden, the girl sits and stands immediately to follow, the clothes are clustered, all the way around the Ding Dong, turn the landscape corridor, is the flower garden, before approaching, I heard the laughter inside, Shi Gui stretched out his head, through the leaky flower window, saw a big ginkgo biloba, the leaves are all yellow at this time, and the thick poles and thin branches are layered on top of each other, as if stacked gold.

A swing rope was tied to the tree pole, and two red ropes were wound into a knot and strung on a narrow wooden board, on which stood a girl wearing a golden and red Luo skirt, and her snow-white wrist held the red tasseled swing rope, and laughter came out with the wind: "Higher, higher." ”

Shi Gui entered the Song family, and all he heard and saw was how the two girls behaved, and when he saw such a girl, his eyes widened, and he heard Mrs. Ji's pampered sigh: "It's a girl who is going to be a girl, and she is so playful." ”

Now I was more and more surprised, this one was actually a girl from the Ji family who was praised, and the princess of the inner family? But how can she not look like the chaste and elegant appearance that others say.

Shi Gui was just puzzled, and several ladies laughed: "It's just so lively." "One boasted, and the other hurried to the interface, again

Speaking of the queen's mother, she likes such a girl, and compares Princess Ankang to her.

Princess Ankang is the only biological princess of the saint, and the clan at the bottom recognized that seven or eight daughters were fake, just to give a name, Beidi came to ask for marriage, and pretended to marry a past.

There are rules that the guests should not be officials, for the sake of their daughter, the saint still gave an official position, Princess Ankang has been married for many years, and there is still her house in the palace, if she wants to go back, she will take the child to live for a few days, which is easier than the ordinary girl to return to the door.

So pampered, the temper is natural and lively, the horse guest is her own pick, the mastiff race when the horse is in love, a whip rolled the flower of the hairpin on the young man's head, sent this to the saint, said that he fancy him, let the father see if it can be done.

The people who went to the garden were all children of the clan, and the sage also knew that the family background must not be bad, so he replied with a smile: "If you can't succeed, you don't like to change another one." ”

Comparing the girl of the Ji family with the princess, no matter how much it passed, Mrs. Ji didn't say anything, and said with a smile: "Don't praise her anymore, no matter how much she praises, she won't fly to the sky, she is used to calling her father, and the good girl's family has a monkey temper." ”

The girl of the Ji family was dressed in a silver silk tulle shirt, a gold and red Luo skirt, a gold hairpin was obliquely inserted on her head, a flounder rose was hung around her waist, and a soft cigarette Luo was on her arm.

Seeing that people were coming to slow down, he was still standing on the swing, with cinnabar on his forehead, and a pair of pear vortices were round when he laughed, called his mother, and jumped off the swing.

Shi Gui heard the ladies behind him inhale gently, but Mrs. Ji didn't care, beckoned to her daughter, and took out a handkerchief to wipe the thin sweat on her forehead.

Five or six girls' families, only she had a good time, the two girls of the Song family didn't even have a place to put their hands and feet, and there were a few waiting to play on the swings, but the two of them were used to being quiet, and hurriedly gathered around the Ye family.

The girl of the Ji family bent down and wrapped a big yellow cat, smiled Yingying and came over to salute the ladies of each family, several husbands knew that her future would not be bad, and they all pushed their daughters to socialize with her at this time, but Yu Rong Zezhi and the two were hiding behind them in a delicate manner, the more they hid, the more they asked Miss Ji to point it out, but it was Song Zhimei, who had just stood up closest, and Ji Ziyue didn't seem to see her at this time.

"We went to the back pond to catch fish. While saying that, he scratched the chin of the big yellow cat: "Fish a big one and give it to the golden crow." Mrs. Ji sighed twice, and when her daughter was far away, she said: "With such a temper, where can I enter the palace, I still begged the mother to ask her to be exempted from the election." ”

This is a strange thing, the queen's sister is only Mrs. Ji's daughter of the same age, and the prince is a small to big affection, if you really want to send it to the election, the crown princess, mother-in-law or aunt, how can the life be sad, I want to push it away.

A few exchanged glances, but they refused to believe Mrs. Ji's words that they wanted to be exempted, so they picked up the conversation one by one, only saying how well the Jiuhua Mountain was built, and the voice fell, and the girl came to report that Mrs. Cheng was coming, and Mrs. Ji said a quick word, and saw a few people who followed, and their faces were a little unpleasant.

Mrs. Cheng is Mrs. Ji's sister, but it is her husband who makes people change color, Cheng Yushi is selfless, but there is a name called Cheng Sanben, the saint is diligent, in addition to the early dynasty and the afternoon and evening dynasty, the three provinces and six departments are on duty according to people, there is no time to stop, and it is not that there is a book to play every day, but Cheng Yushi has a book, big and small things have to participate, and people are the most square, but these adults all scolded him behind his back, saying that he sold a straight and flattering king.

The stomach was criticized, and he had to say hello in front of him, knowing that Mrs. Cheng's daughter was engaged, and she smiled one by one and said that she was going to add makeup, Mrs. Cheng responded one by one, knowing that her husband was not treated well among these officials, so she only smiled and talked less.

Swam the garden to the pavilion and sit down, the storyteller set up a small drum, Mrs. Ji passed the list down, several ladies ordered to listen to the book, it was lively, Shi Gui and Yulan Yingchun were under the corridor, eating a banquet inside, but they were hungry, Shi Gui didn't expect this, or Yulan smiled, took a snack out, and divided her half of a quiche.

The ladies were using dim sum in it, and seven or eight girls carried food trays to send food in, and Shi Gui quietly asked, "Our wife doesn't eat meat, what can we do?"

Yulan bit her lip and smiled: "Our wife has been going back and forth with Mrs. Ji for many years, how can I not know, you look at the food box in the past, the color is different, it is our wife's." ”

Eating wine inside, there is no hot tea outside, the quiche is steamed soft, tearing off the small bite and chewing it does not feel dry, Shi Gui ate half a piece of cake, but regretted it, just on the street should have bought two pieces of duck fat shortbread, the more I thought about it, the more I felt hungry in my stomach, I came out in the morning, I was afraid that I would have to go out on the road, and I didn't even eat a few mouthfuls of water.

Yulan has a few Ansheng, other families are not happy, girls, you say a word to me, after all, I am listening to books, talking and singing, and I lowered my voice to talk about the girl of the Ji family.

In terms of appearance alone, it is indeed good-born, Mrs. Ji's appearance is rare, the girl of the Ji family is born better, the little girl has heard a lot of mouths and ears, and then she will show off: "The girl of the Ji family has to be favored, the Mahara offered in the daughter's festival is three layers high, and the clothes and jewelry are made by special people, and the queen mother rewarded it." ”

Before he could say a few words, someone came to report that the queen mother gave two chrysanthemums, one of which was blooming and hanging jade, and it was specially given to the hairpin of the Ji family.

The eyebrows and eyes on the table flew around, and now it was even more certain, the position of the crown princess of the Ji family girl couldn't get out.
