Chapter 17: Scolding
Multiply......
Ji Yi felt a little sour, and glanced at Cheng Huaijin with some complaints: "Aren't you afraid that I will tell you your identity?" β
The expression on Cheng Huaijin's cold face did not change at all: "It's all up to Ji Xiang to say it or not, I'm open-minded, and I don't want to deceive Ji Xiang in this matter." β
Ji Yi didn't ask Cheng Huaijin why he didn't go back to recognize his father even though he was the concubine of the Chengguo Mansion, but just smiled: "That's it, this thank you gift will be accepted, and the commander will not be able to stay in the cold house longer, so it is better to leave earlier." β
Cheng Huaijin was not angry at Ji Yi's obvious attitude of sending off guests, got up and hugged his fists and said, "A certain person has said goodbye." β
He strode away, without looking back at the people or things in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but made Ji Yi's impression of this person a lot better, touching his beard and nodding: "It's a person with a heart." β
When Ji Yi returned to the room, Wu Shi and Ji Songxian both stepped forward nervously and asked, "What are the people of Jinyiwei doing?" β
Ji Yi said Cheng Huaijin's identity and the purpose of coming, and told Wu and Ji Songxian: "I don't think he wants the people of Chengguo's Mansion to know his identity, you just have to listen to it, don't tell others." β
Wu Shi nodded naturally: "Baby, you think too much, I'm not the kind of talker, can't I talk to others." β
Although Ji Songxian was also nodding, her heart was like a mess, she really didn't expect that this commander was the son of the Song family, the son-in-law of the Chengguo Mansion, and her fiancΓ©e Cheng Huaijin, who was justified in her previous life.
Thinking of Cheng Huaijin's stern appearance with a cold face, as well as the investigation and arrest of courtiers without leaving any room for it, I don't know why, Ji Songxian actually felt a little distressed.
Cheng Huaijin's life in this life is too miserable, he was taken away by people since he was a child, he did not enjoy the love of his parents for a day, and when he came back as an adult, his fiancΓ©e was snatched away by his stepbrother, his biological mother died tragically, and his father ignored him for many years.
Moreover, Cheng Huaijin is still holding such an official position that requires people's lives.
The position of the commander looks at the scenery, but it is really not a good position, such a person is just a knife in the emperor's hand, a dog of the emperor, let it out to kill people and bite people, and in the end it has no value and because there are too many people who have the cause, they are unloaded and killed by the emperor, and the anger of the courtiers will definitely put him to death.
Thinking like this, Cheng Huaijin's life has failed tragically.
Ji Songxian thought of her previous life, and she was also such a miserable failure, it seems that she and Cheng Huaijin, an unmarried couple who have never met, have some sympathy.
Although he has some sympathy for this person, Ji Songxian is just a boudoir daughter, and he is not familiar with Cheng Huaijin, even if he has something in his heart, he can't say it, so he can only think about it himself and let it go.
Putting Cheng Huaijin's matter aside, Ji Songxian went to the back garden with Wu to plant vegetables, now it is late spring, it is a good time, Wu hoes, Ji Songxian followed behind to scatter seeds, and planted a large piece of small green vegetables.
After planting, Ji Songxian asked Huanliang to make a basin of water for her and Wu's to wash the dirt on their hands, and then looked at the long tender top gourd with thorny cucumbers, and couldn't help but like it greatly.
Ji Songxian only felt extremely happy in his heart.
She has lived for so many years, and she has never been so comfortable, she finished eating a cucumber, looked directly at Wu's, and Wu's heart was soft, and handed her the last tender and crisp cucumber left.
Ji Songxian broke it in two, gave Wu a section, and ate half of the cucumber into his stomach with a smile on his face, only to feel that his appetite was great, and he was afraid that he would be able to eat another bowl of rice at noon.
She said to Wu's, Wu's white look at her: "You used to always say that you want to learn the serious boudoir daughter, always unwilling to help your mother do work, all day boring in the room is either reading or embroidering, light yΓ¬ do not move, naturally can't eat, these days with the mother planting vegetables although the body has worked, but but it is an appetite, eat more is inevitable, if you do some more time with your mother, the body and bones will be strong." β
"It's my daughter who used to think badly." Ji Songxian hurriedly admitted his mistake.
Looking at a green vegetable garden, Ji Songxian couldn't help but think of some of the words that Song Hui'er had taught her.
At that time, Song Hui'er told Ji Songxian that if she wanted to live in the Chengguo Mansion, she would inevitably be virtuous, and she had to pretend to be virtuous, otherwise she was afraid that her life would be even more difficult, when Ji Songxian asked her why, Song Hui'er only said: "It's just weak." β
She thought for a long time, although she understood a little, but she was still a little confused, so she asked Song Hui'er again, and Song Hui'er told her: "Because you are in a weak position in the Chengguo Mansion, you must obey the strong and live according to the will of the strong. β
She understood it at the time, but now that she thinks about it, her heart is even more transparent.
Leaning on Wu's body, Ji Songxian said with a smile: "Mother, I really wanted to be bad before, I just wanted to learn from those boudoir daughters and learn their style of life, but I didn't want to think about it, I was different from them, I just learned again, but I just painted a tiger and couldn't become an anti-dog." β
Wu Shi looked at Ji Songxian in shock, and tears fell from his eyes for a long time: "My son has really grown up, and he understands it like this." β
She stroked Ji Songxian's long hair and whispered: "Your father's official position is bigger than a day, but I still like to grow vegetables, many nobles will laugh at my hobby when they come to our house, once I felt ashamed of your father, so I thought about shoveling all the vegetables and planting flowers and plants, and then your father stopped me." β
Speaking of this, Wu led Ji Songxian and walked slowly towards the main courtyard, walking one by one and saying: "Your father sued me, now some people laugh at me just because your father's official position is not high enough, if one day when his official position is high enough, if I grow vegetables, others will only say that I am indifferent by nature, I like the joy of farming, if I plant flowers, others will follow me, my preferences, will be praised by others, and no one dares to say anything." β
Ji Songxian looked at Wu, Wu's smiled: "When your father becomes a Xiangye, there is really no one to talk nonsense in front of me anymore, I have lived so old, and I have figured out a truth, to be a man, you have to be happy The most important thing, you must not blindly imitate others because of face or something, so not only will you be unhappy, but you will also be said to be ugly and strange." β
"Yes." Ji Songxian responded respectfully: "What my mother said is that my daughter has been taught, and she will not think crankily in the future." β
Wu smiled and patted Ji Songxian's hand: "Today, my mother is happy, and I will personally cook a few side dishes for you to eat in a while." β
Ji Songxian also hurriedly said: "I'll give my mother a hand, I'm older than a day, I have to learn some cooking skills." β
Wu saw that she really wanted to learn, so he took her into the kitchen, and the two of them washed the dishes, washed the rice and cooked, and saw Wu's girl hurrying over as she wished, and whispered: "Madam, the Duchess of Chengguo is visiting." β
"People from the Chengguo Mansion?" Wu Shi was a little disgusted, and Ji Songxian didn't feel good when he heard it.
"Please go to the main hall." Wu said casually, put the washed rice into the pot, added some water, asked the cook to cook, and took Ji Songxian back to the house to freshen up and change his clothes before going to meet the guests.
Ji Songxian didn't want to see the people of Chengguo Mansion again, so he only said that he was tired and wanted to go back to his room to rest, Wu thought that she had committed suicide because of Cheng Ping'an, and she was not happy to have more twists and turns, so he asked her to go by himself.
But he said that Wu Shi packed up and went to the front hall, and saw that Duchess Zhou of Chengguo was wearing a purple embroidered satin gown on her upper body, a moonlight silk skirt on her lower body, and she was drinking tea in one hand, but she picked it up in her mouth: "This tea is also good, but it is not as good as what we have in our house." β
The girl behind her also responded delicately, Wu's face was dark, a few steps passed, the girl came over with a cup of warm tea, Wu's took it and drank it all: "Tea is just a thirst-quenching thing, I don't care what is good or bad, I just know that quenching thirst is good tea." β
Her words made Zhou's face look bad, and she scolded Wu Shi in her heart for being just a mud leg and a fool, but, thinking about her son's request, thinking about Ji Yi's identity, and the eight sons of the Ji family, she suppressed her anger and said with a smile: "What Mrs. Ji said is that tea is naturally to quench people's thirst, and what can quench thirst is good." β
Wu's face softened a little, and he glanced at Zhou: "I don't know what the Duchess of Guo is doing when she comes to the cold house?" β
The Ji family has never had a relationship with the Chengguo Mansion, and the New Year's Festival has never been in the future, even the banquet guests of the two mansions will not invite each other, and the Wu family really doesn't understand why the Zhou family suddenly came to the door.
Hearing Wu's question, Zhou quickly smiled and said, "It's really a great thing, Mrs. Ji also knows that my daughter-in-law, Feng, has passed." β
Wu nodded: "I've heard about it." β
Zhou covered his mouth and chuckled for a while and said: "Speaking of which, my eldest man went out a few days ago to see the daughter of your house, and he fell in love at first sight, and when he went back, he quarreled with me that he had to marry the daughter of your family, but he reprimanded me, saying that he was messing around, how could the daughter of your house go to my house to be a concubine?" Only Da Lang really likes the daughter of your house, these days I don't think about the tea, I also feel distressed, but it happened that the Feng family went, I thought that my family Da Lang has no housekeeper director, and the daughter of your house has just been retired by the Jing family, but it is quite appropriate, if the two of us become two, it is really a good thing to have all four corners, so I came to ask Mrs. Ji if this can be done. β
When the original Zhou family talked about Feng's death, although Wu's heart was not happy, but he didn't have much atmosphere, but when he heard Zhou's words belittled sleeping at home, and she was elevating her amorous son, Wu's temperament came up, and I heard Zhou's say that Ji Songxian was dismissed by the Jing family, and Wu's was even more angry, and stood up as soon as he slapped the table.
"Put your mother's dog stinky fart, who doesn't know what kind of virtue your son is in Jinling City, what fragrant and stinky things are pulled into the house, Feng is angry to death by your family, it's not enough to be angry with Feng, I still want to call my sister into the fire pit of your house, you daydream." Wu Shi was really angry, and the scolding was so loud that it almost shook Zhou's ears and the roots of his ears hurt.
