Chapter 217: Love
In the summer, in Ji Anyu's boudoir, the windows on both sides of the room were open, and she and Ji Jieqing sat by the window, both of them holding an embroidery shed in their hands, doing needlework, and the two of them whispered. There was a faint sorrow on both of their faces, and the girl's mood was so changeable and confused.
How to walk on the unknown road ahead, both of them are people who don't know where the direction is, but they know that at this time the two are standing at the intersection of choices, and they have to obey the arrangements of their elders to the left and right. Even though Ji Anyu and Ji Jieqing have some thoughts in their hearts, these are also small secrets that they can't tell their elders, so they can only turn around with each other and say what they think in their hearts.
Ji Jieqing thought about the news that Ji Heshi inquired about, her mood was very complicated, she raised her eyes to look at Ji Anyu with a calm expression, and was a little entangled in whether to speak directly to her. She lowered her head and moved two more stitches on the embroidery shed, and finally raised her head and whispered to Ji Anyu: "Aunt Yu, I heard my brother say that the young master of the Wen family has seen many people recently. ”
Ji Anyu raised his eyes to look at her and said, "Oh, the Wen family is in a hurry to marry this young master, have you heard that the family matter has been decided?" Ji Jieqing's heart calmed down slightly, but she was still a little worried and said, "Aunt Yu, you also told me that person looks good before. I heard that the people in his family have never given a word to each other, and the family affairs have not yet been decided. ”
Ji Anyu nodded lightly and said with a smile: "That Young Master Wen is a somewhat talented person, but when I listen to him, I feel a little unbearable, his voice makes me too flustered after listening to it, he is a big man who speaks as loudly as a little woman, after he is the judge of the scientific examination in the future, does he also want to talk to his colleagues like this?" ”
Ji Jieqing glared at Ji Anyu, there was obviously a look of relief on her face, and she said with a smile: "Aunt Yu, it turns out that you don't have much affection for him, I heard that there are many women outside who fall in love with him." Ji Anyu immediately understood what Ji Jieqing meant, and she looked up at her angrily. "You have forgotten all the things your grandmother and your mother told you."
Then I'll tell you again, before our family affairs are settled, don't believe the rumors outside. Those rumors are true or false, and they will be more or less misleading. That Young Master Wen didn't have a reputation before this year, how could he suddenly have a reputation as a talented man, but I didn't see any of his poems circulating outside.
The aunt in our family has a poem outside for people to know, which is why she bears the name of a talented girl. Qing'er, you're still young. Don't look at someone else's good face and mistakenly think that person's character is good. A well-dressed person may not necessarily be a good person. ”
Ji Jieqing listened to Ji Anyu's words, and she said to her a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, Aunt Yu, I thought you had a good impression of him." Ji Anyu's face turned red, she had a good impression of a person, but she also knew in her heart that she and that person were people on two paths, and now she had put that person and that thing down.
She looked at Ji Jieqing and whispered, "Neither of us is very old. We will listen to the arrangements of our elders for such a big event, and they will not harm us. Ji Jieqing nodded lightly, she approached Ji Anyu and whispered, "Mother said that I want to accompany you to see each other, and by the way, take a look at what kind of person you like."
My mother told me that you should always choose someone for you who you look like. Ji Anyu's face turned red, she knew that she was looking at the two of them in the name of looking at each other, but in fact, she was still looking at people with her as the priority. She whispered, "As long as the man is not rude, neatly dressed, and speaks decently." ”
Ji Jieqing hurriedly wrote down what she said. Then she whispered again: "The people who are in the army of the Gu family, I heard that I came back to take the Xiucai exam this time, and I don't know how the exam went?" When Ji Anyu raised her eyes to look at her, she quickly explained, "Aunt Yu." I'm curious about what these two families do, but I'm too young to have absolutely no other thoughts about them.
I'm not my infatuated cousin, she still thinks about the people of the Donggu family wholeheartedly. She didn't think about it, whether it was the East Gu family or the West Gu family, the people in such a big family. It was a house where ordinary women could enter. She is not afraid that her small body will enter such a family, but she is afraid that there will be no one in a few years. ”
Ji Anyu has also heard of the majesty of the Shao family's women, and for the people she fancies, she grinds the elders at home to think for her. Ji Anyu was a little curious, and asked, "Who is she looking for in the Gu family?" Ji Jieqing thought about it very powerfully, she stretched out her finger to Ji Anyu, and said, "I heard that it was the one in the picture, and she said that this one is a real man." ”
"Is it a concubine or a concubine?" Ji Anyu counted the rankings, she didn't know anything about the marriageable age men of the Donggu family, so she asked with some curiosity. Ji Jieqing laughed and said, "My cousin has a high vision, and that person is the eldest son of the three branches. Ji Anyu gasped, she nodded in agreement and said, "Your cousin has a good eye and a high heart. ”
Bush and Shaw had greeted the two of them, and they would not look at each other as the eldest son for the two of them. Ji Anyu and Ji Jieqing understood in the Ji family that the Ji family's requirements for the eldest son were stricter than those for the second son, and the requirements for the eldest son and daughter-in-law were just as strict.
Shaw Brothers can become Ji Shuzheng's wife, which also has a lot to do with her character and ability. Both Bushi and Shao both understand the difficulties of their daughters-in-law, and neither of them wants their daughters to follow their old paths, they are bent on finding a suitable family for the two women, and they look at each other as the second son.
In the past few months, they have seen several families with hearts, and everyone has the heart to go further, but when there is no clear eyebrow in the matter, they can only hide it from the two little women. In private, both Busch and Shaw often beat the two little women, lest they mess up their hearts on irrelevant people.
Ji Anyu and Ji Jieqing both knew that the little woman of the Shao family was in her heart, but they were afraid that it would come to naught, and the people of the Donggu family would never take a fancy to a pampered woman who grew up to be the eldest daughter-in-law. What's more, although the Shao family's woman made trouble at home, although it didn't spread out, she still couldn't hide it from someone with a heart.
Ji Jieqing sighed and said: "My mother is very unhappy with my cousin's actions, saying that if my cousin continues to make trouble, I am afraid that she will only be able to promise relatives to outsiders in the future." Ji Jieqing was really embarrassed to tell Ji Anyu too clearly, this is also her uncle's family ugly. Her cousin had only seen the man from afar, and she had fallen in love with him.
