Chapter 25
On the second day after meeting Ji Feicui, Moyu was having breakfast, and he ran in in a hurry. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info "Miss, miss. ”
Mo Yu saw that she was out of breath when she ran, so she was busy giving her a cup of tea, and wanted to look up very indecently and "goo" and drink it all in one gulp. Then he said mysteriously, "Miss, do you know what I just heard outside?" ”
"Yes." Mo Yu also poured himself a cup of tea and motioned for his subordinates to remove the dishes and chopsticks.
Want to ask incredulously, "You know?" ”
Mo Yu gave her a wink, and then continued to drink tea. "Well, isn't it that little girl who quarreled with you yesterday who was punished!"
"Ah, it turns out that Miss is an unpredictable prophet!" It's very frustrating to think about it.
"What an unknown prophet, this mansion is so big, you will know it immediately if there is a disturbance, and besides, I am sure of what happened yesterday."
"Why?"
Mo Yu explained: "Although there was not such a big movement yesterday, there were people watching from behind us everywhere we went, and every word we said was accurately transferred to other people's ears. If the little girl is not punished, it means that in this Ji Mansion, the slaves can be allowed to abuse the master at will, if that is the case, so many family rules are not decorations. ”
"I understand, Miss, that Xiaoyue was punished, not because of our quarrel yesterday, but because of your last words, Miss."
Mo Yu shook his head, "It's not all, if you don't make noise, I won't say that!" ”
"Miss, you're amazing. That Xiaoyue was beaten thirty strokes and deducted half a year, and now she can't get out of bed, it's so cool. But you said, someone is looking at us, why didn't I see it! ”
Mo Yu rolled her eyes, and just wanted to say that your son can be taught, but immediately became an idiot again. "Since I'm looking at you, I naturally won't let you see it, so I must hide in the dark."
"Then I know who sent someone to follow us this time."
Who else could be the lady of the Ji Mansion, who else controlled the backyard of the Ji Mansion, but she was also so bored, sending people to watch her was afraid that she would commit suicide? Run away? Or do you harm her precious daughter? Cut! But this time, it was Moyu who guessed wrong.
"It's the old lady."
Mo Yu put down the teacup and said that she was not surprised that it was fake. "How do you know it's the old lady?"
"Because it's the old lady who punishes Xiaoyue! The old lady personally supervised the punishment. ”
For this old lady, she had the impression of majesty and did not smile. She only served tea on the second day of her return, and talked to her a lot, usually when she went to ask for peace, it was Moyu who said, "Say hello to the old lady", and then she said, "Well, if it's okay, go back!" ”。 And then she sent someone to follow her, what does it mean?
It seems that I don't trust what she says, just observe her actions! Did she know about the existence of that night?
Xiang Rong looked at the people around, approached Moyu, and whispered: "I heard from the mothers-in-law in the kitchen that the second lady seems to have a sweetheart." ”
Mo Yu hadn't heard of this, it seemed that she had been back for so long, and she was not as well informed as a little maid. "Don't talk nonsense."
"I'm not talking nonsense, in the past few months, the second lady has not gone out because she is sick, but has been punished and grounded by her wife!"
Grounded? Could it be that it is because Ji Feicui has a sweetheart that she will be asked to come back to marry on her behalf. But no, if it is a substitute marriage, then Ji Feicui has to say that she is married, and Ji Feicui will only get her turn to enter the palace when she gets married. Ji Feicui was grounded, which should have prevented her from meeting the man. Things in this big family are really troublesome, but it's none of her business. "Okay, just tell me this, no one can say it when you go out, and Yunshang can't say it, otherwise you will have to end up like Xiaoyue."
"Don't worry, miss, I'm smart, I don't think I've heard of this. Hey, what about Yunshang? ”
Mo Yu pointed outside, "I asked her to get the basket, let's go pick flowers in the garden and come back to make pastries for you to eat." ”
"yes, I have to eat again. The pastries in this house are really hard to eat, but they are still delicious made by the young lady. ”
Mo Yu looked at Xiang Rong and ran out again in a mad way, this girl is always passionate all day long, and her strength seems to be inexhaustible.
In the back garden, the white, red, purple, and yellow flowers are very beautiful. It's just a pity that these flowers were kept in captivity here and lost their original freedom. When it comes to winter, it's time to thank you, and the next spring, it's a new beginning, and so on. It really responds to that sentence: the flowers are similar every year, but the people are different every year.
Moyu plucked the petals and carefully placed them in the basket, the early morning petals still had dewdrops on them, and they were put under the nose to smell them, and there was a fragrance. If you look down on the whole back garden now, it is really a beautiful picture, three young women, shuttling among the flowers to pick flowers, playing in the bushes like flying butterflies, and there is laughter from time to time.
It is suspected that the butterflies are dancing in the bushes, and the beautiful woman is flying in the palm of her hand.
Suddenly, a shadow in front of him blocked out the sun. Mo Yu got up and looked up, and the young man under the sun was looking at her with his back to the light, looking at her with a folding fan in his right hand, and placing it diagonally in his hand.
"Am I scared the girl?" When the young man saw her look up, he was stunned for a moment, and then his hands swung back and forth, at a loss.
Mo Yu searched the memories in her mind and made sure she hadn't seen this person. The little guy in the house won't be dressed like this, it should be the son-in-law of which family!
"No" Mo Yu was convinced, and asked with a smile: "It's Childe, why is you here alone?" ”
The boy withdrew his hand, "I ......"
"Sikong, alright, let's go!"
Mo Yu looked behind the young man, and the person who spoke was the eldest son of the Ji family, Ji Boyuan. Mo Yu was courteous, "I've seen the eldest brother." ”
Ji Boyuan glanced at Moyu and was very satisfied. In his heart, although he has not had any communication with this sister, every time he sees her, he feels that she is very unique and comfortable to look at.
"Hmm. Let me introduce, this is the sister-in-law, Ji Moyu. This is the son's compound surname Sikong, with a single name and a single word. Ji Boyuan stood between the two and introduced.
It turned out to be the only grandson of the old lady Sikong, and Moyu served Sikong Jun again. "Moyu has seen Sikong Gongzi."
Sikong Jun held the hand of the folding fan and helped him weakly, "You are Miss Ji, you are clumsy and can't recognize it." I heard the name of Miss Ji early, but I didn't have the opportunity to see it, and today I finally got my wish. Miss Ji picks this flower is ......"
"It's nothing, seeing that this flower is blooming well, I want to pick some back to make pastries."
Both of them were a little surprised, there are not many young ladies in this capital who can make pastries. Ji Boyuan was slightly surprised and said, "You know how to make pastries?" ”
Mo Yu smiled and said, "If you don't mind, big brother, I'll send some to your yard when I'm ready." ”
"Okay, then I'll have to try it. By the way, Sikong Jun, let's go, or it will be too late. Ji Boyuan said.
Seeing Ji Boyuan's outfit, Moyu asked, "Big brother is going out?" ”
"Well, Sikong just came back, and a few of us want to pick him up and wash the dust."
"In this way, Moyu will not bother."
Sikong Jun was a little reluctant, "Miss Naji, I'll leave first, and there will be a date later." ”
Mo Yu took it again. Will there be a period later? There won't be a chance. Watching them walk away, he turned around and continued to pick her flowers, but when he turned around, his eyes glanced at a rockery in front of him, and a peach-colored corner of his clothes was obvious in the turquoise rocks, it was not an ordinary fabric, it was silk from Suzhou, even if it was a reward, it would not be rewarded to a descendant. And the color is so fresh, it must be a young woman wearing it, and if you look at Ji Fu, you can probably guess who it is.
Looking back at the gate of the courtyard that was already empty, and then at the corner of the peach-colored clothes that had disappeared, I smiled in my heart. The people who can be worthy of her risking to run out to meet during the lockdown period are not ordinary people. It's just that I don't know if the falling flowers are intentionally ruthless, or if the two are happy with each other, but there is a flyover in the middle.
When he was far away, Sikong Jun asked Ji Boyuan curiously: "This eldest lady of your family seems to be a little different from what is rumored to be in the outside world." Did she just come back? ”
"She is the eldest lady of the Ji family, and she is also my mother's daughter, because she was sick and weak when she was a child, her father sent her back to her hometown to recuperate, and she only returned to the house a month ago."
Sikong Jun suddenly realized, no wonder he hadn't seen her. When he first saw her, those eyes were bright and beautiful. Sikong Jun thought about it and couldn't help laughing.
Ji Boyuan saw his appearance and said in disbelief: "You shouldn't have taken a fancy to her!" ”
People often say that they fell in love at first sight, it is the feeling just now, as if his whole person is empty, and in his eyes and heart, there is a smile from her. Sikong Jun turned around, smiled back, and said, "If Brother Ji can match, I should be grateful." ”
Ji Boyuan thought for a while, and didn't know how to organize the language so as not to hurt this brother's heart, and patted him on the shoulder, "You better forget her, it's impossible for the two of you." ”
Sikong was not happy. "Do you think I'm not worthy of Sister Ling?"
Ji Boyuan hurriedly denied it. "It's not that I don't help you, but that my sister has already ...... Promised people. ”
Sikong is full of sadness, she is so clean and refined, so gentle and weak, who in the world is worthy of her. "Which family did she promise?"
"This ...... You'll find out when the time comes. Ji Boyuan didn't know how to explain, could it be that her sister was going to enter the palace as a concubine, so that he didn't think about eating swan meat? It's strange to think about it like this, the holy decree has been sent down to the Ji family, doesn't Sikong know that Moyu is already the emperor's woman?
This is true, Sikong Jun really doesn't know that the emperor has made this set of wills, he is no longer in the capital recently, and he just came back yesterday, so it's not uncommon not to know.
Sikong Jun was really angry, thinking that Ji Boyuan just didn't want him to marry her sister. "It doesn't mean, are you kidding me? In vain I will treat you as a good brother, huh! ”
"Sikong, that's not the case, Sikong...... Sikong" Ji Boyuan looked at the back of the angry Sikong Jun, and shook his head helplessly, "Sikong, don't you go to Sihailou?" ”
There was no response, Ji Boyuan ran up helplessly, and said, "Yetian is still waiting for us!" Give your brother a face, don't let your brother be too embarrassed, okay? ”
"Hmph." Angry to angry, the two still went in the direction of Sihailou together. The good brother finally set up a banquet for him, but he couldn't float their minds.
In the face of family interests, what friends and what are called brothers and sisters are just a means to obtain benefits. The people in this capital actually live very lonely, and they have nothing but power.
When he returned to Qinse Garden in the evening, looking at the plates of pastries on the table, Ji Boyuan instantly lost interest in eating.
Liu Yeqing brought the tea over and said, "This is the pastry sent by Mo Lanxuan, I tasted it, it is really delicious, do you want to try it?" ”
Ji Boyuan picked up a piece and took a bite, the taste was indeed different from what was made in the house or bought outside, but he was used to eating what was made in the house and bought outside, but he felt that the pastries in front of him were very unpopular, so he no longer had an appetite. "Give it to the people in the courtyard!"
Liu Yeqing was puzzled, it was obviously delicious, why didn't he eat it? She was quite curious about this eldest lady, she didn't talk much, she looked soft and weak, she was quiet, and she could make pastries. But since Xianggong doesn't like it, it's only a pity. Seeing Ji Boyuan walking towards the bed, she walked over to help him loosen his clothes.
"I don't know why, today the old lady punished Xiao Yue in the Yi Garden?" Liu Yeqing said.
"The old lady punished Xiaoyue?" He went out early in the morning and didn't know what was going on in the house. "Why was it punished?"
"The concubine's body is not very clear, I heard that people said that it was Xiao Yuemu who had no master, and openly abused the eldest lady during the day, and when the old lady found out, she was punished and personally monitored."
The old lady punished Xiaoyue, probably to tell some people that Moyu still has a status in this mansion, and the eldest lady of the Ji family will always be the eldest lady, and even her mother can't be embarrassed at will. In the backyard of this Ji Mansion, in the final analysis, it is her old lady who has the final say, and it is impossible for her mother and sister to cover the sky with one hand. There is also the fact that after Moyu entered the palace, the Ji family is still closely related to her, the Ji family is her maiden family, her reliance, and her backup, the Ji family is good, and her life in the palace can be better.
"Tell the people in the yard not to chew your tongue again after you go out. Also, Mother may not be in a good mood these two days, so you should pay attention to what you say and do, so as not to burn you. ”
Liu Yeqing is not a fool, she is also a woman in a big family, and she can't see through the old lady's intentions! So the smart one had already instructed her subordinates to only do things and not talk recently, as for Yuan's place, she would not touch her head, and after doing things, she would go back to her yard early, and she would not go to talk about family life, and some were brainless people as cannon fodder, such as other aunts.
But she is still very relieved, at least her father-in-law will care about her and will tell her how to block blame and disaster. This man, when she first married him, she was nervous and scared, but now, she has no regrets and is very satisfied.
"Thank you for your concern, and the concubine will do what you want." Women should not be too smart in front of men, they should pretend to be stupid, and let him think that he can control his own women. Only men like such women.
"Oh, by the way, if it's okay, don't go to Mo Lanxuan." Ji Bo said from afar as he lay down.
After Liu Yeqing answered "yes", he didn't say anything more. My mother once reminded me that people in this house, including the master's subordinates, should not enter the courtyard, and they were not allowed to visit or give gifts. Up to now, she is already a quasi-imperial concubine, and she is still cool.
