Chapter Ninety-Nine: Means

The breeze is gentle, the bright moon is shining, the lotus leaves in the lake in the back garden are a little dry, although the moonlight is decadent, but it is more poetic and picturesque. There are all kinds of flowers and trees dotted in the meantime, and the rockery by the Taihu Lake stone stacked next to the lake is an open space where the family of the Ji family sits around the table.

Ji Yi sat at a large round table with several sons and grandchildren, Wu took his daughter-in-law and daughter to sit around another round table, a glass lamp was lit in the middle of each round table, and several octagonal glass lamps were hung on the tall trees.

There are not many dishes on the table, some mustaches two side dishes and two pots of sake, and then there are all kinds of fruits, and a few servants on the cloister play and sing, and the sound of the water is very good.

Ji Yi leaned on the back of the chair and closed his eyes to listen, his fingers knocked twice on the table from time to time, and he also shouted hello when he was happy.

Wu's face was full of smiles: "We have to entertain guests during the day, our family is busy and tired, even if there is a good show, we can't take care of it, this son will be gone, let's be happy." ”

Sun said with a smile: "What my mother said is that we also take advantage of my mother's birthday to listen to the play." ”

Wang's Lala Ji Songxian's sleeves and whispered: "This glass lamp was sent by the Cheng Commander to congratulate his mother's birthday, I heard that the Cheng Commander sent a lot of congratulatory gifts, as if there are many pearls of the South China Sea, two coral trees of such a big size, and there seem to be more beside them, and it is difficult for him to find such a rare thing." ”

Ji Songxian pursed his lips and smiled: "Zuo just wants to please his mother, things are rare or not, the key is that my mother likes it." ”

The two sisters-in-law were talking little, so Wu coughed. looked at Ji Songxian, turned his head to look at Ji Jin, and said solemnly: "I have to mention something today." ”

Immediately, the family was born peacefully, even Ji Yi stopped listening to the music and opened his eyes to look at the Wu family.

Wu Shi looked at Ji Jin: "Eighth child, you should know why I gave the little girl who sang the song to Wang Zhuangtou's son, right?" ”

Ji Zhen hurriedly got up and said, "My son knows, Zuo is just that the girl's heart is too big." ”

Wu nodded: "It's such a reason, I know all these things today, but." By this time I will knock you out. ”

"Mother, please speak." Sun hurriedly flattered: "Niang has always been the most knowledgeable. You beat us, and we will follow you to learn more, don't let people call ignorant and stupid women. ”

Wu Shi hooked his lips and laughed lightly: "Although Lao Ba and Xian'er suppressed that little girl today, nothing happened. It stands to reason that it's pretty good. But. In the end, you are more tender, and you still can't handle things, so you have to work so such a small thing. What if something big happens in the future? ”

Ji Songxian had already heard that something was coming, so he quickly stood up at this time: "Mother, my daughter is not very knowledgeable, and she has no ability, so she can only do it at that time, but now that she wants to do it, it is really not good, and she asked her mother to teach her daughter." ”

Wu Shi waved his hand: "You are also good, sit down." ”

Waiting for Ji Songxian to sit down, Wu Shi said in front of the whole family: "That's just a play, to put it bluntly, she is the lowest, she dares to give birth to such thoughts, and she insists on dragging the eighth child, she can't be spared, at that time, the eighth should not wait for your sister to solve this matter, you should ask her name, and then tell her that if she wants to enter our house as a slave, she must be approved by the head of the family, so that she can wait with peace of mind, and then she should tell me, when the play is finished, I will directly talk to the troupe of the drama troupe to get her, so, If you want to kill or chop, it's not all up to us. ”

When Ji Zhen heard this, sweat immediately broke out on his forehead, and he got up and said, "My son didn't think about it so much, it was really ...... at that time Now teachable. ”

Ji Songxian thought that what Wu said was very right, the Ji family is the home of the eunuchs, and a drama still wants to toss something in the Ji family, isn't it obvious that she is dying, the identities of her and Ji Zhen are there, and she can't say anything about it with a sentence or two directly when dealing with a play, so why talk so nonsense.

Wu glanced at Ji Songxian: "Although Xian'er scared her with words, but in the end some of the beginnings and tails have not been cleaned up, if she goes out and says nonsense to ruin the reputation of the eighth child, then we will cry, you are the daughter of the Prime Minister's house, she is just a lowly person, at that time, she either directly asked someone to block her mouth and take it down, or as I said before, first settle her heart, and then dispose of her at will, I can't be like a slut, but I lowered my style." ”

Wu and his entourage said that Ji Songxian and his entourage nodded: "My daughter has been taught." ”

Sun Shi looked at Wu's teaching children, and immediately smiled: "Mother said these words we have written down, or do you say that Mother has insight and open-mindedness, it is true that you eat more rice than we eat salt, you walk more bridges than we have walked, there is a mother at home, we may not save much heart, it is really not worrying." ”

Her words made the whole family laugh, and the original tense atmosphere was gone, and the family began to talk and laugh again.

It only looked like a few words, but these few words touched Ji Songxian a lot.

She thought about it for a long time, and figured out one thing, that is, the years in the Chengguo Mansion had too much influence on her, and this influence could not be shaken off for a while.

The boundary between the masters and slaves of the Chengguo Mansion is not so obvious, and the head of her house has to think for a long time if she wants to dispose of the slaves, and she has to find a lot of evidence, find many legitimate reasons, and fight wits and courage to deal with it seriously.

Such a style of acting has a great impact on her, and when she looked at the girl who sang the song, she didn't think about the posture she had when she was in the Chengguo Mansion, but forgot that she is now the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and there are thousands of ways for the servants who want to run a troupe to make her bitter.

At that time, she was able to speak well, and besides, the girl had too many omissions, so she was told to hold on to it, and she pressed down the name of Jinyiwei, so she was born, otherwise, if there was really trouble, where would the face of the Ji family go? Wu's birthday is not good.

Thinking like this, Ji Songxian felt a little remorseful, and was even more deeply vigilant, in the future, she must learn how to behave with the Wu family, and she must get rid of the influence of the Chengguo Mansion on her.

The family laughed for a while, and then went back to the house to rest in the middle of the night.

Ji Songxian returned to the house and asked Huan Liang to fetch water for her to wash, and when she changed her clothes and lay down on the bed, she still couldn't sleep, thinking that Wu Shi had handled the beginning and end so quietly, and taught her so seriously, Ji Songxian had a lot of emotion in his heart, and he didn't fall asleep until midnight.

In this way, she inevitably got up late on the second day, and went to Wu's house to eat after she washed up, but saw that the family was waiting for her, which made her more and more embarrassed. ”

"Nope." Ji Songxian put down the bowl and touched his face: "But I slept late last night." ”

Wu sighed: "You just have too many thoughts." ”

Ji Songxian bowed his head to be taught, and Wu said: "How old are you, it is inevitable that you will be unsophisticated, I can't compare to you when you are so old, but I only learned a little bit after suffering a lot of losses, you can study hard in the future." ”

Ji Songxian hurriedly responded, Wu waved his hand, and the family began to eat.

After eating, Ji Songxian stayed to talk to Wu's, Wu's broke up many things and told her about them, the more Ji Songxian listened, the more he felt reasonable, and he admired Wu's even more, and couldn't help but say: "I really should call those who always demean my mother to listen, my mother is much better than those ladies, but some people are not good, and they always say that their mother is a shrew, as if they only know how to play tricks." ”

Wu Shi smiled: "Your father said something that I still remember, that is, many things in this world are not poor but uneven, if everyone is poor, it is nothing, but if most people are poor, there is a lot of oil, and there will be infinite incidents, just like those people demean me, because in Jinling City, whether it is an official from a family or a poor family, which family does not have a few concubines." ”

Speaking of this, Wu Shi let out a long sigh again: "Speaking of which, only a few concubines are quite good, now the world loves prostitutes, and there are more courtesans at home, those eldest women have eaten enough of the suffering of concubines and courtesans, and they can't give birth to a lot of dark psychology, and want everyone to suffer like them, so, your father treats me wholeheartedly, never prostitutes, and there is not a single concubine and aunt in the family, but those people can't stand it, thinking about why they are higher than me, higher than me, higher than me, higher than me, It's not as good as I want, so it's a lot of arrangement. ”

Ji Songxian listened to Wu's words, and sighed for a while.

After a while, a girl came to send some things to Ji Songxian from Zhuangzi outside the city, Ji Songxian asked someone to take it immediately, and saw that it was the sanitary napkins made by the people who left her Jinhua, Ji Songxian saw it, and it was done very well, it seems that this business can be done.

In this way, she asked someone to give Jinhua a few letters, and these sanitary napkins were made first, so that her son would not be busy selling, and would sell them when he had done more.

After that, Ji Songxian hurriedly asked people to collect more cotton and cotton cloth, she took out a lot of money herself, and asked people to collect as much as they wanted, but pay attention to it, Mo Yin's cotton price is high, and Mo said that cotton cloth is out of stock for a while.

Seeing that she was so busy, Wu Shi hurriedly asked what was going on, Ji Songxian told her about touching Jinhua, she was afraid that Wu's would accuse her of being nosy, and she was also afraid that Wu's would dislike Jinhua, but she was a little worried.

Who knew that Wu Shi laughed after hearing this: "I scolded the girl in the troupe for being cheap, not because of her identity, this person, whether you are cheap or not depends on your personality, the prostitutes you said are also strong people, and it is a good thing that you have the ability to help when you fall into trouble, how can I blame you." ”

Speaking of which, Wu was also very interested in the tampon, and asked Ji Songxian how to use it, Ji Songxian explained with a smile, saying that the tampon was put away and only said that it was going to be given to a few sisters-in-law. (To be continued......)
