Chapter 149: Returning to the Door
When Ji Songxian returned to the room, Steward He had already asked someone to send the account books at home, the keys to the treasury, the rosters of the stewards everywhere, and the cards and other things, Ji Songxian asked Huan Liang to put her in the cabinet, and did not take a closer look.
Looking at the chiming clock in the house again, it was still early for dinner, Ji Songxian thought about it for a while, and called Huan Liang to ask her to prepare some gifts for returning to the door tomorrow.
The master and servant only talked about it, and saw Cheng Huaijin entering the door wearing an ink-colored coat, covered in snowflakes.
Ji Songxian hurriedly got up and took a small cloth duster to dust off the snow on his body: "Is it getting big outside?" ”
Cheng Huaijin nodded, took off the big hat on his body, Ji Songxian took it and hung it up, handed Cheng Huaijin a hand stove to warm his hands, and asked: "It's cold, I can't tell how many poor families are dying of cold and starvation." ”
"It's also helpless." Cheng Huaijin's face was also a little dignified, every time it snowed heavily, there were poor people in Nancheng who either collapsed their houses by the snow, or died because of lack of food and clothing: "I think that tomorrow Your Majesty will send someone to Nancheng to inspect, I am afraid that it will also help the people of Nancheng." ”
Ji Songxian looked at the snowflakes outside, full of worry, she said that when the snow stopped, she would go to Nancheng or some villages outside the city to give some porridge and food, or take out the old clothes that she didn't wear at home and give them to the people.
However, as soon as Ji Songxian thought of Cheng Huaijin's identity and position, he couldn't say these words again.
Cheng Huaijin is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, the head of His Majesty's personal guards, and the notorious secret agent, who is responsible for supervising hundreds of officials and arresting officials. If he is a soup and clothes in his house, how can he still have a bad reputation, if Cheng Huaijin has a reputation for mercy, not to mention the hundred officials, first of all, His Majesty will definitely abandon him and no longer reuse.
But Cheng Huaijin has offended many officials since he took office, if he is really abandoned by His Majesty, what good fate can he have?
Although it is inevitable that it will not be abandoned or pushed out to appease the anger of officials in the future, it is better to say that it will be better in the future than to be abandoned in the present.
"Ming'er Xue has stopped, let's go to our own Zhuangzi and have a look." Ji Songxian could only say like this in the end: "If the farmers suffer from a snow disaster. Those who can reduce the rent will be reduced. Relief is given to those who can be relieved, and people cannot be forced to death. ”
"You have an idea." Cheng Huaijin handed the hand stove to Huan Liang, picked up the tea and took a sip: "Our family is not short of those harvests on the Zhuangzi, you can do what you want." ”
Ji Songxian smiled: "That's it." I'm going to call the shots. ”
That is, to give some porridge, food and clothing to the farmers. Ji Songxian naturally wanted to look at his own money and food booklets. She took out the account book and looked at it carefully, and after reading it, she closed the account book and said to Cheng Huaijin: "I just looked at the booklet, and our family has no shortage of money." There are also jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings in the library, but there is not much food, and there is a little less property in the family, so do you want to buy some Zhuangzi shops and the like. ”
In Ji Songxian's heart, the amount of money is secondary, the family's real estate is the most important, and in addition, there should be enough food stored in the treasury to avoid money that cannot be bought in case of disaster.
Cheng Huaijin rejected her proposal: "If you are afraid that there is not enough food, you can save some, only the real estate and shops will be so much, you must not buy more, you don't have to save more money in addition to buying food, our family is different from other families, you don't have to think about what a hundred years of planning, you just have to spend it as much as you want." ”
Speaking of this, he paused: "You can buy whatever clothes you like, and you don't have to worry too much." ”
Saying this, Ji Songxian is even more confused, as soon as others have money, they will buy land and property, and they will also save more money in order to plan for the future, these are all for the sake of future generations, even those big families.
But how did you get to Cheng Huaijin here, you just have money to spend, you don't need to buy a field shop, and you don't need to save much food, as if you don't have to think about tomorrow after today.
Although Ji Songxian had doubts in her heart, she also knew that Cheng Huaijin was a very deep city, since Cheng Huaijin said so, then she would do so.
"So I have some numbers in mind." Ji Songxian smiled: "I originally planned to save some money to buy some acres of grange land, but if you say this, it is very unnecessary, then I can spend money vigorously in the future, and you are not allowed to dislike me in the future." ”
Cheng Huaijin waved his hand and told Huan Liang and Xue Ye to go out, he walked a few steps to Ji Songxian, and stretched out his hand to take her into his arms: "Where am I willing to go." ”
As the line said, Cheng Huaijin lowered his head, imprinted a kiss on Ji Songxian's snow-white and delicate cheeks, and hugged her hard, almost wanting to rub her into the blood and bones.
Ji Songxian's body was a little painful, but she felt that it felt good, as if the hearts of the two people were connected together, there was an indescribable sense of blood and bones, and emotions moved at will.
The two hugged for a while, Cheng Huaijin was a little emotional, picked up Ji Songxian and walked to the bed, gently put her on the bed, and put down the mandarin tent, Ji Songxian hung his head slightly, his face was red and almost dripping blood.
For a while, Cheng Huaijin stripped off and pressed up, and it was another warm and affectionate feeling.
The two of them didn't know how long they were messing around, but they heard someone outside asking: "Master, wife, do you want to pass the food?" ”
Ji Songxian's body was so soft that he could barely lift his strength at this time, and he pushed Cheng Huaijin weakly: "I'm hungry." ”
Cheng Huaijin smiled, sat up with her, personally took the middle coat for her to wear, and took a small jacket to help her put it on her body, he only put on the middle coat and got out of bed to follow some charcoal fire in the stove, and waited for the house to be warm like spring and summer, then he put on his coat and opened the door and asked someone to bring the food in.
When the meal was on the table, Cheng Huaijin drove the girl out, he personally took out the dishes, put them all on a small kang table, carried the kang table to the bed, put the things on the bed, and handed Ji Songxian a pair of chopsticks: "Eat." ”
Ji Songxian held the chopsticks and looked at it for a long time, Fang relieved himself, and understood that Cheng Huaijin was tired just now, and he actually asked her to eat in bed, but it was just ......
Ji Songxian was really shy, thinking of the nonsense between the two just now, she seemed to have forgotten her shame, and Cheng Huaijin fiddled with it in every way, during which she had fun, and she even wandered, and this was an indescribable feeling in her heart, and she couldn't help lowering her head.
Cheng Huaijin was a little funny when she saw her like this, she stretched out her hand and raised her head, the two looked at each other, Ji Songxian heard Cheng Huaijin whisper in his ear: "Who wanted to do this and that just now, but now you are ashamed like this, and at night, you are not ......"
Ji Songxian's face became more and more red, and she reached out to touch her hot cheeks: "Who is with you...... I'm not going to toss with you tonight. ”
"It's not up to you." Cheng Huaijin saw that Ji Songxian was becoming more and more pitiful and cute, and her hands were itchy for a while, so she actually picked her up and took her whole person into her arms, and personally took a piece of stewed soft wild duck meat with chopsticks and sent it to her mouth: "Let's try this." ”
Ji Songxian took a bite of his hand, and was about to eat it again, but saw that Cheng Huaijin had no face and no skin to send the remaining half of the piece to his own mouth, and Ji Songxian, who was even more ashamed, almost had no place to put his hands and feet.
Cheng Huaijin held her in one hand, handed half a bowl of porridge to Ji Songxian in the other, and then held a spring bamboo shoot pickled with chopsticks for her to eat.
After Ji Songxian ate a few bites, he also put aside his shame, pushed Cheng Huaijin and took the chopsticks to eat, the two were speechless for a while, and after eating, Ji Songxian asked someone to clean up the things, and felt greasy for a while, so he wanted to take a bath.
Cheng Huaijin was so desperate that he wanted the two of them to wash together.
After the bath is finished, the water in the bathroom, not only in the bathing pool, but also on the ground outside, and on the soft couch next to it, I don't know how the bath is washed.
A few girls came to clean up the bath room, looking at the mess, they all pursed their lips and snickered, asked Ji Songxian to look at it, and glared at Cheng Huaijin a few times.
It was only in the evening that after the two of them cleaned up and went to bed, Ji Songxian suddenly thought of it for a while, and almost screamed, she suddenly sat up and exclaimed: "Oh no, I forgot to prepare a gift for returning tomorrow." ”
As she spoke, she was about to get up, and Cheng Huaijin stretched out her hand to hold her: "What's the panic, I'll ask Steward He to get ready when I get up early today, it's very cold outside, you quickly lie down and catch a cold." ”
When Ji Songxian heard this, he immediately put his mind at ease, turned around and got into the quilt and asked, "I don't know, what have you prepared?" ”
Cheng Huaijin read it to her in the same way, both of them have amazing memories and have the ability to never forget, Cheng Huaijin remembers it well, he said it again, Ji Songxian also wrote it down, and after thinking about it in his heart for a while, he felt that the gifts prepared by Cheng Huaijin were very satisfactory, so that he could really put his mind at ease.
The next day, Ji Songxian got up early in the morning, packed up after breakfast, found bright clothes to put on, and put on the tired red gold and emerald head, and asked Steward He to take someone to carry the gifts to the car, and thought about it for a while, in addition to bringing the two girls around Liang and Lu Qi, he also brought Xue Yu and Xue Ye away.
After packing up, she and Cheng Huaijin boarded a carriage, and the four girls got into another car, and the wheels rolled for a while, rolling the snow and setting off towards Ji Mansion.
The Ji family got up earlier that day.
Wu couldn't sleep almost in the middle of the night, and lay down like a corpse for a long time, but he couldn't help but push Ji Yi, this push, seeing that Ji Yi had already woken up, she just couldn't bear to argue and endured it, and both of them laughed for a while.
Wu asked Ji Yi: "I don't know what happened to Sister Xian?" How are they living as a young couple? Uncle looks like a cold-hearted and cold-faced person, who knows if it will be good to treat our virtuous sister? ”
Ji Yiben thought about this with his eyes open, and when he heard her ask, he became more and more worried, but he couldn't bear to worry his wife, so he turned around and said: "What are you thinking, my uncle is a cold-faced and hot-hearted person, besides, our virtuous sister asked for it himself, how can he look bad?" ”
"Who knows?" Wu sighed: "I am such a girl as Sister Xian, I don't feel at ease wherever she goes, I can't wait to put it in front of me and hold it in the palm of my hand...... You say, what if my uncle treats our sister badly? ”
"What can I do?" Ji Yi snorted coldly: "He dares, if he really dares to treat our family Xian'er slowly, my eight brothers and Xian'er can't spare him." (To be continued......)
