Chapter 44: Raw Rice and Cooked Rice
"Even if I cook the rice in advance, can't I want to eat anything else?"
"The rice is cooked, can't you still pour it? If you don't want to eat it, you have to eat it, or I'll go to your father and see how he cleans you up when he comes!"
As an excellent servant woman representative who makes a fortune by understanding the "Lord", when the master searches the intestines and scrapes the belly to find a way, he can't be indifferent to the same as no one, so Ruizhu, who is struggling with his brows and racking his brains, suddenly bumped into this scene, was greatly inspired, and counted in his heart, and in an instant, an eighteen-folded bun face stretched and restored into the original flatbread face, walked with a gust of wind, jumped in front of his aunt in a few steps, and said with a smile: " Okay, okay, Aunt Lan, it's not a big deal, it's all back to her home, what the girl wants to eat, tell her subordinates to do it. β
The old man jumped out and the mud, took the posture of being in charge, and talked about a few words without being salty or light, and after a while, he found a reason, wiped oil on the soles of his feet, and left.
The palace man who left that appearance and rules and a rigid expression said that it was on the order of her stepmother to come to guide her to know books and etiquette.
When she was pressured by her aunt's gaze, she had to sit at the back of the bookcase, but she saw that the palace people took out a copy of Ban Zhao, and then read according to the book, which was very boring......
After half an hour of teaching, Wei Jian determined that the middle-aged woman in front of him, even if she was really a palace person, was a palace person with no taste.
It was getting late, and it was about to be dinner, so the palace people cleaned up and retired.
The aunt stepped forward and asked the question in her heart: "You child, you are not a picky eater, why do you want me to say those words in front of them?" paused: "Could it be so that those snobbers remember your identity?"
Wei Ji stood up, came to the left back side of his aunt, stretched out his arms around his aunt's waist, rested his chin on her left shoulder, and said with a smile: "They want to cook a pot of unique rice for others, but before they want to wash the rice and put it in the pot, they ran to see their rice in advance, huh...... In fact, I just want to remind them that since they have encountered an accident, it is still early to start the banquet anyway, you might as well cook the rice in advance, the rice is ready, and under external pressure, even if it is boiled, people can only swallow it with their necks. β
The aunt didn't care about Wei Ji's little red bumps, of course, not to mention a few small red bumps, even if there were sores and pus, she had seen it, and understood that this was the result of Wei Ji's blind tossing, and raised her hand to hold the red rash hand held in front of her belly: "As soon as I heard this, I knew that you didn't think about good things, I can tell you in advance, it's okay to tease those snobs, but don't toss the good happiness." β
Wei Ji looked away: "I don't have the leisure to tease them." He sighed: "It's for our happiness that I have to toss like this." β
The aunt stretched out her head and looked out of the door: "Today, the eldest princess and His Royal Highness the prince came here to show them that they value you, why is it that they have come to this hour, and they have not come to have dinner with you?"
Wei Jian explained: "Auntie, look at my appearance, I must be isolated!"
My aunt agreed: "That's right. came to educate her again: "I'm about to get married, and I still make myself look like this, it's really uneasy, I limit you to clean up these eye-catching things before you get married." β
"Yes!" smiled at the aunt where she couldn't see itβnot even pretending, it seemed that her cunning stepmother had suddenly come to light, and then, just wait quietly.
On the nineteenth day, there was not much difference between the Wei Mansion and the past, but the east courtyard where the Wei Mansion was located was obviously lively.
Regardless of whether she marries Sima Run in the end or not, as far as the shape in front of her eyes is concerned, she is also the person who the eldest princess of Yangping has to cover herself, and she still has to get by on her face.
Tailor: A few of them are said to be making clothes for Yu Jiang and Wei Min;
Servants: Stand on both sides, bow down and wait, and speak if you need anything;
Palace people: well-dressed, dignified manners, "the way of the three obedience", "the etiquette of the four virtues" talked eloquently, Wei Jian thought, they must be of good character - only later did they figure it out, after a long time, it turned out that they were the dowry of the eldest princess of Yangping......
Imperial Physician Zhao: This treacherous and cunning white-bearded old man, at first when he saw her symptoms, his brows were deeply locked, and he was very angry, but after a set of strict and meticulous diagnoses, he spit out a sentence: "The little girl is so naughty!" Then today when I went to the East Courtyard, I held the tea cup and sat next to her leisurely, watching the tailor measure her, watching the servant woman serve her tea, and watching the palace people teach her movements, and he just laughed, more like a fox than her.
Anyway, as long as we survive these two days, in the future, everyone's well water will not interfere with the river water, and there is no need to coerce or lure - the tortured Wei Jia looked at Imperial Doctor Zhao, who was sitting in front of the stone table where Yajia squatted yesterday, eating tea and gnawing fruit, and thought about it with wist.
After dinner, Wei Jia found that the piece of towel embroidered by her aunt was missing, which is nothing, anyway, it is an old thing, just go back and let her embroider another piece, but the luminous cup in the brocade box is also missing, this problem can be strict, you must know that this kind of complete set of things, one less, the price may be greatly discounted!
Then Wei Jian silently comforted himself: Forget it, for the sake of a bright future, what can you do if you cut a piece of flesh in your heart...... You must know that there are legends that some people are willing to give up their daughter-in-law in order to trap the pervert.
So Wei Jia babbled and recited it, without making a sound, and rested obediently.
August 20, only two days away from the wedding.
Early in the morning, Ruizhu, who was full of red light, knocked on the door of Wei Jia's room, saying that the two sisters had the same disease, but one was in the East Courtyard and the other was living in the West Courtyard.
This arrangement...... When Wei Jian heard this, his heart was overjoyed: It's finally coming!
Just when Wei Jian had breakfast and went to the west courtyard, Sima Run entered the house through the side door, and only brought three people with him, although he acted low-key enough, but his appearance was not restrained enough, and as soon as he entered the door, he was found by the housekeeper who was in charge of sprinkling and sweeping, and then returned to Wei Yi to know.
After a while, the high-spirited Wei Yi strode over to greet him, and said from afar: "Your Highness is coming, why don't you send someone to inform me, so that I can prepare in advance." β
Sima Run reached into his arms and touched the things hidden there, his eyes sank: "The little son-in-law is also on a whim-" After a pause, he explained: "The house is full of people, and I am dizzy, anyway, I have nothing to do for the time being, so I came out to relax, and I came here unconsciously, thinking that it was not appropriate to pass in front of my father-in-law's door, so I was rude and walked directly into the door without notifying my father-in-law." β
"That's true, even I am here with people coming and going, not to mention the palace, since I have come, I will first find a clean place to sit. β
Then Wei Yi, who was busy with a lot of work, didn't know why he suddenly had time, there was always someone in the main hall, so Wei Yi pulled Sima Run into his study, showed Sima Run the topographic map he had drawn, and talked to Sima Run about his military ~ ideas, and also introduced in detail the family background of several elite soldiers under his command...... No matter what he said, Sima Run could always keep up with him, and even gave him the right advice, telling him to talk more and more.
During this period, Rui Zhu brought two bowls of Cistanche soup tea on a tray, and after putting down the tray, he first picked up a bowl and gave it to Sima Run, and then gave it to Wei Yi.
Wei Yi took a sip of the soup tea directly, and glanced at Sima Run with a vague glance of the tea bowl that was brought to his mouth.
Seeing Wei Yi's gaze, Sima Run suddenly stopped his movements, took advantage of Wei Yi's gaze, took the bowl away, observed his bowl, and looked at Wei Yi's bowl again, and really found something......
This reunion took nearly three quarters of an hour, until Yu Jiang sent someone to find Wei Yi.
Of course, before leaving, he apologized in every possible way, and apologized a thousand times, Sima Run said peacefully: "Originally, the son-in-law was reckless and reckless, delaying the father-in-law for a lot of time, but what the father-in-law said was very interesting, which made the son-in-law linger. β
After hearing this, Wei Yi's smile was a little unnatural, but he still nodded again and again: "It must be." For Wei Yi, the conversation with Sima Run is like meeting a confidant at the wine table, and it feels like drinking a thousand cups is too little, but there is no feast in the world, and there must always be separation, but fortunately, Sima Run is about to become his son-in-law, and there will be a lot of time to gather in the future.
Wei Yi got up and left, Sima Run reached into his arms and touched the thing again, and after withdrawing his hand, he handed the tea in front of him to the sturdy young man beside him: "Huh." β
The stout young man wrung his eyebrows in pain, but he still took it honestly, raised his head and swallowed.
Sima Run stood up and dusted off the hem of his clothes, not to mention the dust, and not even a wrinkle: "Let's go." β
And Yu Jiang, who sent someone to find Wei Yi away, was warmly receiving a group of special guests at the moment.
The leader is naturally the most noble woman in the entire Linyi City, the eldest princess of Yangping, and the rest of the noblewomen from the Huan family and the Yu family.
Of course, the above three were specially invited by Yu Jiang, saying that he asked them to help refer to the dowry list and wedding details to see if there were any shortcomings.
The eldest princess of Yangping was very satisfied after reading the gift list, and praised Yu Jiang for preparing it even better than she imagined - if all the things on the gift list were there, with the Wei family's current financial resources, it would not be possible at all.
In this era, there are also families who borrow money to accompany their rich dowries in order to ensure that their daughters marry out so that they will not look at their husband's face and act, so it is not surprising that the dowry exceeds the strength.
Not long after Yangping finished praising Yu Jiang, Ruizhu appeared at the door panting.
Yu Jiang turned her eyes to look over, and Rui Zhu nodded at her, so Yu Jiang smiled heartily and said to Yang Ping: "Since there is nothing to do here, why don't you go to the East Courtyard to see Juge?"
