Chapter 44: No Face and No Skin
Ji Songxian ate the rice in the bowl cleanly, and beckoned Huan Liang to sit closer: "Is that the girl from the Gao family who is known as the Jinling Fierce Woman?" ”
Huan Liang smiled and nodded: "The girl even knows her, exactly, Jinling City doesn't know how many people disdain her when they mention her, but she is the niece of the Queen Mother, and the Gao family protects her, who can do anything about her, her mother-in-law's Cao family is hard, especially her sister-in-law's background is not as good as her, don't you call her a bully." ”
"What is it for this time?" Ji Songxian had heard about this tall girl earlier, and also knew that the Cao family had been restless since they married her, but it was difficult to say about the matter of this inner house, such as mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and husband and wife, who couldn't only complain about one side if something happened, and didn't look for the reason in the other direction.
"It is said that the sister-in-law of the Cao family said something for Miss Gao to listen to, and she splashed in a fit of anger, and at this time her mother-in-law turned to her sister-in-law again, and Miss Gao was angry and beat up." Huan Liang said with a smile, and asked Ji Songxian again: "The girl has always been reasonable, who are you complaining about these things with the slave, the slave is confused." ”
Ji Songxian shook his head: "Where do I understand, it's hard to talk about the back house, let's all listen to it, don't go into detail." ”
Huan Liang smiled and nodded, while getting up to clean up the scraps, Ji Songxian took this opportunity to find a piece of material and found a piece of cardboard from the room that cut Ji Jin's feet to prepare to cut shoes.
She took a pen and drew a shoe pattern and picked up the scissors to hang the cloth, and saw Wu's room come over as she pleased, Ji Songxian hurriedly put down the scissors and asked, "Why did Sister Suixin come over, sit down." My name is Winding Liang Tea. ”
Smile and wave your hand: "You don't need to make tea, the slave will go back for a while, the old lady has something to do with the slave, and the slave also takes the time to talk to the girl, these days are good, the old lady wants to take advantage of the opportunity to start making shoes in autumn and winter, and ask each room to get the cloth to cook it themselves, if the girl here is not to make the fabric, then call the beam to go to the warehouse to find some good." ”
Ji Songxian hurriedly said: "It's not necessary, I have everything here, Sister Suixin should ask the sisters-in-law if they are missing." ”
Hearing this, he got up and said goodbye to Ji Songxian with a smile. Ji Songxian then thought that there was no shortage of needles and threads in high-ranking families. The shoes and socks of the four seasons have been made early, and they don't have to be done by themselves, but ordinary people have to do their own needlework, and the same is true for this season. I always put out the shoes and socks of the four seasons when I have nothing to do in the summer. In previous years, at this time, the original body also began to make clothes and shoes. This year, she forgot for a while, and she was unprepared.
After Huanliang came back, Ji Songxian took Huanliang and began to get busy.
First, I found a lot of cloth to make the upper, and then I got a lot of coarse white cloth to paste the soles.
She told Liang to go to the kitchen and cook a pot of paste. In the sunny place in the courtyard, a place was cleared and a wooden board was spread, a layer of white cloth was spread on it, and a layer of paste was pasted, and then a white cloth was laid on top of it, and then a thick layer of cloth was pasted.
After getting these cloths, she and Huan Liang were sweating, and the two went into the house to wash their hands and faces and began to cut the uppers.
Before the upper was cut, it was dark, Ji Songxian and Liang Liang moved the pasty sole to the porch and went to Wu's place for dinner.
It just so happened that when she passed, Ji Yi and Ji Gang also went home, and Wu was in a good mood, and kept beckoning someone to set the meal.
The family sat down, and Ji Gang said something to Ji Yi: "Father, Lord Shangshu praised his son today, saying that the method that his son thought of sorting out the case files was excellent, and when the case files of the Criminal Department over the years were completed, he would still ask His Majesty for a reward for his son." ”
Ji Yi was immediately happy when he heard it, stroked his beard and encouraged Ji Gang a few words, and pointed at Ji Songxian: "You have to thank your sister, if it weren't for your sister, how could you come up with such a good way." ”
Speaking of this, Ji Yi sighed: "Among the eight sons and one daughter of the father, only your sister is the most beautiful and the most Xiao, but it is a pity that she can't be a daughter as a daughter." ”
Ji Songxian wanted to cover her face, she knew what kind of virtue she had, she didn't say that she was an official, but she was so careful in the small back house that she was killed.
Ji Gang also smiled: "What my father said is that my sister is good. ”
A group said, he and his party got up and gave Ji Songxian a salute: "The eldest brother thanked the ninth sister, and this time the eldest brother touched the light of the sister." ”
Sun also smiled: "Thank you sister, when my sister gets married, your brother and I will give you a thick dowry." ”
Ji Songxian, who said this, instantly blushed, stomped his feet and said: "Sister-in-law has always loved to make fun of people, but this time she is making fun of me, and I want to pay attention to you in the future." ”
Sun smiled and compensated her, and then dragged her to look at the others: "You see that the sister is ashamed, but what the sister-in-law said is not bad at all, the sister-in-law's appearance, this temperament is learned, and our family's family, are you still worried about not having a noble son-in-law." ”
Ji Songxian's face was as red as blood, he felt that his heart was beating fast, and his face was hot, and he spat at Sun: "Sister-in-law, the dog can't spit out ivory in his mouth, I won't tell you." ”
Sitting down while talking and only caring about the rice, Ji Yi and Wu were also amused, Ji Yi exclaimed: "Sister Xian'er is becoming more and more difficult, there are still people asking about you these days, I can't say that our family really has to get ready." ”
Ji Songxian's marriage has always been pressed on Wu's heart, no matter what, Ji Songxian has been engaged to the Jing family since he was a child, and he doesn't have to worry about getting married when he is old, but now the Jing family has withdrawn, and Ji Songxian's reputation is not very good because of Cheng Ping'an, although he doesn't worry about getting married, but none of the people who came to propose marriage made Wu satisfied, so she was worried. Are you worthy of our virtuous sister? ”
As soon as Ji Songxian heard it, the more he spoke, the more he had no boundary, and he immediately got up and wanted to avoid it, but Sun and Wang shot together to hold her down, and Sun whispered in Ji Songxian's ear: "Sister, listen to it, our family doesn't have so many stinky rules, this is my sister's lifelong business, and you have to be satisfied with it." ”
In this way, Ji Songxian sat down again.
Ji Yi thought for a while before saying: "It's my son of the same year, the youngest son of the Lan Shilang family of the Ministry of Officials, and he is similar to our virtuous sister in terms of age." I listen to my temperament is also good, but I don't know, it's good for the girl to ask someone about it. ”
The people next to him didn't care, Ji Wei and Ji Zhen listened and immediately said: "Let's inquire about my sister, if it's not good, it won't work, a good person like my sister should also be worthy of a good one, so it's too early to die." ”
Wu Shi also said: "Yes, I am not satisfied with the relatives of the original Jing family, that Jing Gongzi is not in good health, and there are many people in the house, can we go to Sister Xian?" We'll have to take a closer look this time. It is necessary to find someone who is right everywhere. ”
Ji Songxian hung his head. Thinking of the Jing family's personality for a while, he couldn't help pouting, and he was a little grateful to his family for leaving his family early, otherwise wouldn't it be boring to marry someone like that.
I waited until I got back to the house after dinner. Ji Songxian's heart is still pounding in a hurry.
She touched her cheek, which was still a little hot. It is also called around the beam to fetch water for washing. After lying on the bed, Ji Songxian couldn't sleep for a while, so he thought about something.
She thought about her unhappiness in starting a family for a while, and then thought about her parents now, and her brother and sister-in-law are all good. is worse than the original food and clothing, but this day is happy and tight, if you want to marry someone and leave the house, Ji Songxian is really reluctant, but she can't help but get married, stay at home and become an old girl, it will inevitably make her father and brother disgraceful.
The more Ji Songxian thought about it, the more embarrassed he became, and he couldn't sleep for a while.
She turned over, slept on the couch beside her and muttered to Huan Liang, who was staying on the couch for the night: "Girl, go to sleep quickly, aren't you tired after a busy day, but you have the leisure to toss." ”
Ji Songxian smiled and closed her eyes and didn't move, but her heart was still a mess, thinking that if she made a family appointment, what would happen if her future husband was as affectionate as Cheng Ping'an?
After thinking about it like this, I fell asleep in the middle of the night, but it was late the next day, and when I opened my eyes, the day had risen, and it seemed that it was already half of the morning, Ji Songxian sat up and called around Liang and asked: "Why don't you wake me up, tell me to be so sleepy, what will it look like when you say it?" ”
Huan Liang just smiled: "It's the old lady who doesn't let the slave call the girl, the old lady said that the girl is tired these days, and it's rare to sleep lazy, so the girl just sleeps." ”
"Stop, stop." Ji Songxian waved his hand and got up by himself, washed up first, and simply pulled up his hair, only fixed it with a few silver hairpins, and picked new flower hairpins in the courtyard.
She took Huanliang out of the house, and before she entered the Wu family's house, she heard a burst of angry scolding, Ji Songxian was shocked and hurried in, but saw Wu Shi scolding with a calm face, and the Sun family, Wang and others stood aside and were scared.
"Mother." Ji Songxian took a few steps over and shook Wu's hand: "Who is angry with my mother?" Talk to your daughter, and your daughter is angry with her mother. ”
Wu Shi only felt a cold palm, looked up and saw Ji Songxian's face full of concern and anger before it gradually subsided, pulled Ji Songxian to sit down, and said to the daughter-in-law standing below: "You all sit down, you don't know how to persuade me when I was so angry just now, I didn't let you stand for so long, it's my sin." ”
Several daughters-in-law hurriedly said they didn't dare, and they all smiled gratefully at Ji Songxian for a while.
Although Wu's temper is not very good, he has always been a reasonable person, and it is the first time that he has been so angry that his daughter-in-law has been involved, if it weren't for Ji Songxian rushing over, maybe they would have to stand until when.
"Mother's virtuous sister." Wu Shi pulled Ji Songxian to look up and down, his face full of worry: "Don't you want to deceive people, but don't think about that kid of the Jing family anymore." ”
"Mother, what are you doing when you say this, why do you think about me even if his family has withdrawn?" Ji Songxian didn't understand a little, Wu's words were really hard to guess.
"Alas!" Wu sighed: "This Jing family has no face and no skin, or what kind of scholarly family, it doesn't care about the slightest bit of face, thanks to our early withdrawal, otherwise ......"
"What the hell is going on?" Ji Songxian turned his head again and asked Sun a few.
Sun thought for a while before saying: "Early this morning, the people of the Jing family came to the door, wanting to renew the friendship between the two families, saying that it was a misunderstanding, and this son will understand that he is very ashamed, I really can't stand you, and I want to marry our family again." ”
"Shameless and skinless." Ji Songxian's heart was shocked when he heard this, and he also understood why Wu was angry.
If you want to retreat from this family matter, do you have to renew it if they want to renew it, if everyone else is muddy, let his family rub it round and flatten, don't say that Ji Yi is still a dignified man, even ordinary people don't bully people like this.
Not to mention Wu's temperament, she was so angry that she wanted to scold. (To be continued......)
