Chapter 310: A Letter from Yu Heng
The Mid-Autumn Festival came as scheduled, and it was the time when the two people and the moon were reunited, and the Seven Princes were still in Jiangxia County.
The last epidemic in Xianjia Village really spread in other villages, and the entire Central Plains region was affected by this plague, and Ji Yunliu's practice of praying for rain only solved the urgent need, and was far from being able to completely solve the drought......
If the people's livelihood is unstable, the emperor will be unhappy, the emperor will not be happy, and the ministers in the court will naturally be in danger, so everyone in the entire capital is also frightened, resulting in the 15th of August this year being deserted.
Ji Yunliu got up and finished freshening up, Hongqiao took the hand basin outside and handed it over, and when he looked up, he saw Jiu Niang holding a box made of pulp coming in from the Moon Cave Gate.
When she got closer, Hong Qiao hurriedly asked, "What is the thing you are holding in your hand?"
Jiuniang patted the box: "It's all inside." ”
"Ahh ”
King Mu has been gone for more than a month, and in this month, except for the farewell letter sent by people before, he has never sent any family letters!
"Wait a while!" Hong Qiao suddenly thought of something, and grabbed Jiuniang back, "The girl is having breakfast, you go in later, later, otherwise the girl will not have the heart to eat breakfast......"
Jiuniang thought about it and felt that what Hongqiao said made sense, so she stood under the corridor and waited, waiting until Hongqiao cleaned up the plates and then entered the house.
"What is this?" Ji Yunliu looked at the cardboard box in Jiu Niang's hand, and it was also strange, "It doesn't look like a pastry box in Beijing." ”
Hong Qiao pursed her lips and smiled: "Back to the girl, it was sent by His Royal Highness King Mu." ”
"Sent by the Seventh Master?" As soon as Jiu Niang put it on the table, Ji Yunliu reached out and picked up the red thread on the top of the carton, and pulled it left and right with both hands to untie the carton.
The inside was wrapped layer after layer, and after the layers were opened, I saw that the contents were moon cakes.
Hongqiao waited on the side and waited very much for what was in this box, and now when he looked at it, he couldn't help but sigh, and looked at it twice, but unfortunately said: "All the mooncakes are broken...... "King Mu's heart, his own girl can't eat it."
Jiuniang said: "The weather is hot, the capital is quite far away in Jiangxia, King Mu asked people to take it all the way, and the road has been boring, so it will be broken." ”
Along with the moon cake sent a letter, the six ladies who almost became a resentful woman in the boudoir and wanted to cry blood to the moon and groan miserable relatives saw the words "Yunliu Qinqi" on the letter, and immediately waved her hand to let Hongqiao and Jiuniang withdraw.
Hong Qiao pursed her lips and smiled, pulled Jiu Niang a few steps and retreated from the door, closed the door, and now His Royal Highness King Mu is afraid that even if he asks someone to send a bunch of jewelry, he is afraid that it will be better than this letter of peace!
In the upper room, the sixth lady, who had read the letter word for word from beginning to end, finally tasted her long-cherished wish and felt beautiful in her heart.
On the letter, King Mu wrote freely, no matter how big or small.
He wrote every day he went to Jiangxia like a diary, and also wrote the reason for the delay in writing a letter of peace: the plague spread, and the Central Plains were blocked, so he could only enter and not leave.
After reading the letter, Ji Liuniang, who had completely become white and sweet, felt that the broken moon cakes in front of her were particularly pleasing to the eye, so she carefully appreciated it a few times, twisted a small piece, and put it in her mouth, and felt that the expired flavor moon cakes were even more ...... It tastes OK, too!
Today's moon cakes are not only sent by the Seven Princes, but also Qin Erniang, the county lord of Wenrui, and the imperial chef brand moon cakes rewarded by the palace.
Compared with the expired moon cakes of the Seven Princes, these moon cakes are really full of color and flavor.
So the sixth lady asked Hongqiao to throw away the acacia moon cakes, and ate the imperial chef brand moon cakes rewarded by the palace.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15, Ji's house will start to be busy, Ji Er's wife's family affairs, as well as Ji Yunwei's etiquette and family affairs, are all in need of manpower...... So, on the day of the reunion of the two people, He took Ji Qi back to Ji Mansion to live.
In the evening, Ji Mansion set up two tables of family banquets, and everyone gathered around to enjoy the moon, eat crabs, drink osmanthus wine, and enjoy the moon.
I don't know if it's because it's too noisy at home, looking at the old lady through the light and moonlight, I feel that Ji Qi's face has become thin into a cucumber-shaped, compared with Ji Liu, who is as white as a goose egg, it is just like a refugee from the Central Plains who has contracted the epidemic.
"He," the old lady couldn't help but speak, "Since the family affairs of the seventh girl have been decided, you also have to find a female doctor to give birth to and raise her body." ”
The old lady was next to her, and her voice was not loud, but the third lady was inexplicably wronged, she spent a lot of money to let people listen to it before and after, it turned out that the third young master of the Zhang family was a cripple at all!
After He knew the truth, he also wanted to die or live in front of the third master, and wanted to quit this family matter, but was directly rejected by the third master angrily.
The third master is majestic and inviolable: "He family, this family business has not been retreated! Now that everyone has passed the levy, unless the seventh sister is dead, there is no retreat!"
When He thought of this, he immediately cried and choked.
Ji Qi didn't seem to be able to see his mother so embarrassed, and everyone present at this time didn't hide it, and stood up directly: "Grandmother, I'm not feeling well, I'll go back to the house first." ”
had a good family banquet, but was found unlucky, and the old lady didn't have the heart to eat anymore, so she bluntly said that she would let those granddaughters go to the courtyard to enjoy the moon, and sent the younger generation away.
"Look at you, what kind of system have you become!" When the people were gone, the old lady stretched out her hand and pointed at the third lady, and her heart hurt again, "Have a good meal, what's the matter that can't wait until you're done?"
He Whimpered down, told all the things he had heard, and cried and asked the old lady to call the shots for her.
"This family matter was decided by Brother Song, the matchmaker of the prince's protection, the levy has passed, how can I retreat!" The old lady's face darkened after hearing this, "Why didn't you find out more about this matter that day! If you regret the marriage now, what will the outsiders say about the seven girls!"
"That's better than marrying a cripple!" He Shi had no choice at all now, so he pounced, "A-Niang, A-Niang...... The seventh sister is also your granddaughter, and the sisters in our house are married to good people, so you can't just treat the seventh sister as selfish!"
The old lady was forced to be unable to do so, so she asked the third master to come over and ask about it.
As soon as the third master arrived in front of the old lady, he swore that he didn't investigate this matter carefully, he also deliberately went to see that Zhang Fengyu, he is a gentle gentleman, and his knowledge is excellent, if he hadn't broken his leg two years ago, this spring festival will definitely be able to enter the top few of the second!
"A-Niang, it's not your son who deceives you, the third brother has seen this Zhang Jia Saburo, and he is full of praise! And that Zhang Sanlang is not a person who can't walk, but he is just a little lame when he walks, and the others are no different from ordinary people. ”
It was said that the third young master Ji was exactly the same as the third master.
Even if the old lady doesn't believe in her son's vision, she can't help but believe in her grandson's vision, and Zhang Sanlang can't dislike others because of his broken leg. The old lady still cares about moral upbringing.
The third young master told him everything he thought, and in general, in the old lady's ears, Zhang Sanlang is indeed an excellent lover, if he hadn't broken his leg, he was afraid that it would not be his turn to be his granddaughter, and the prince was also a mediator.
At the moment, the old lady didn't care about the He family, and waved her hand to let the third master take her away.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the autumn tiger receded, and the weather began to cool.
Ji Yunliu has not been much better than the busy Chen and Wang families recently, and he is as busy as a spinning top.
The second lady and the fourth lady are going out of the cabinet, and the Chen family handed over all the feeds in the house to Ji Yunliu, and Chen's words are also reasonable, King Mu lives alone in a mansion, and there is no mother-in-law or concubine to take care of the things in the house in the future, all of them are managed by Ji Yunliu, the princess, and now if you don't start early in your own house, you will be busy in King Mu's mansion in the future, and all of them will be the face of Ji's mansion.
