Chapter 162: The Death Knell
"But are you all settled?"
Ji Songxian looked at Zheng and found that her spirit was completely different from the first time she saw her.
Previously, the Zheng family came to visit, and Ji Songxian saw that although she was also knowledgeable, she was very spiritless, as if she was pressed by life, even her spine was bent, and her eyes were always flashing with uncertainty about the future.
But when I saw each other a little later, I found that Zheng's eyes were firm and his spirit was very good, and when he stood there, his back was straight, and his whole person was as tenacious as pine and bamboo.
"It's all settled." Zheng smiled: "I have to thank you for asking Duan Zongqi to accompany me, Duan Zongqi is a person who can do things, and it didn't take much effort to get the documents right." ”
"That's fine." Ji Songxian nodded: "That's the case, you just settle down with me first, now that this year's roots, you are looking for a house is not easy to find, that is, you find it, the cold pot and cold stove are inevitably a little bad, and live in my house first, and when the spring of the next year begins, you will take the two girls to my marriage Zhuangzi to weave, and I will find a few good weavers to learn from you, and then after a while, we will start this textile workshop." ”
"I do." Zheng smiled and saluted: "My two girls are also happy, but it's too troublesome for you." ”
"What's the trouble." Ji Songxian smiled and pointed to the chair: "Let's sit down and talk." When Zheng sat down, she smiled again: "We have a small family, and we don't have much to do, what trouble can you add to your life, but you can add an extra scoop of water when cooking." ”
Speaking of this, she beckoned to the eldest girl and the second girl: "These are your two girls." Come and see. ”
Although the eldest girl and the second girl were a little afraid, she thought that she could follow her mother out of the sea of suffering, which was completely due to the beauty in front of her, so she moved over with courage.
When they came, the eldest girl and the second girl were wearing tattered clothes, and after they settled down, the Zheng family changed their clothes before they came.
Although they have changed their clothes, they are not new clothes, and the two girls are wearing old clothes, but they are very clean.
Ji Songxian watched the two girls walk up to him, and when he saw that he was about to kneel down and snort, he hurriedly went around the beam to help them up: "Poor one." Don't snort. ”
She spoke as a group. The group pulled the two girls over to take a closer look.
Ji Songxian saw that the eldest girl and the second girl were upright, and their eyebrows were also delicate, although their eyes were a little timid, their eyes were upright. It seems that the character must be good.
It's just that these two girls suffered a lot when they were about to be at home. It's timid to look at people. The food should not be very good, very thin, especially the big girl. There are many calluses in the palms of his hands, and he must have done a lot of work.
Ji Songxian smiled while looking at it: "You two girls are good-looking, I look at the love tightly." ”
She spoke in one group, and took off two shrimp whisker red gold bracelets from her wrists to put on the eldest girl and the second girl: "I don't have a good object for you when I see it for the first time, so wear it and play with it." ”
Such a delicate and good-looking gold bracelet was worn heavily on the wrist, which really startled the eldest girl and the second girl, and the two girls hurriedly refused, Ji Songxian put his face on the face: "The things I gave out have never been taken back, and it is not a big deal, it is for you to play." ”
As soon as she said this, the two girls were so frightened that they didn't dare to speak immediately.
Seeing this, Zheng first sighed, and then said: "The two girls have suffered a lot of sins with me, and they have always been tortured in the Hu family, and their temperament is a little weaker. ”
Ji Songxian nodded: "This child's temperament has a great relationship with the environment in which he has lived since he was a child, and children who are beaten and scolded all day long will inevitably be cautious." ”
Speaking of this, she asked the eldest girl: "How old is it, and what is your name?" ”
"Eleven." The eldest girl replied cautiously: "I don't have a big name, so I'm called the big girl." ”
"This can only be a nickname, how can it be a serious name." Ji Songxian frowned, and said to the Zheng family again: "You really shouldn't be, even if the people of the Hu family didn't name them, you should also take the last one, how can you delay until now?" ”
Zheng smiled bitterly: "I don't have much knowledge, but I need to know a few words, I thought that in a while I would weave some cloth and sell it, and ask a gentleman to give the two girls a serious name, but it's just ......"
She glanced at Ji Songxian and said thoughtfully: "Madame is the most knowledgeable and knowledgeable, can you help the eldest girl and the second girl choose a serious name." ”
"That's it." Ji Songxian thought for a while and clapped his hands and said: "The two girls have suffered since childhood, but I see that although they have suffered, their hearts are good, it can be seen that they are two good girls with integrity and fierceness, so how about the eldest girl is called Aoxue, and the second girl is called Ling Shuang?" It means that the two of them will encounter great difficulties in the future, and they will not lose their ambition despite all difficulties, what do you think? ”
"Okay." Zheng smiled very happily: "Madame's self-acquisition is good, and I listen to it." ”
The eldest girl and the second girl were also very happy, and they felt that this name was really good, much better than the names of plum blossoms, emerald flowers, vanilla and so on in the village.
The two girls have a smile on their faces, you look at me, I look at you, it is a little more childlike than before, this son has some children's lively appearance, not as depressed as before.
Ji Songxian said a few more words to the Zheng family before asking the little girl to take them back to the guest room to rest.
As soon as the three of Zheng's mothers left, Huan Liang was a little puzzled: "Mrs. really doesn't need to be so good to them, not only did she send someone to help her reconcile, but also took them in to live in the house, and Mrs. and Zheng have no friendship, and they are a little too troublesome." ”
Ji Songxian got up and walked two steps, listened to what Liang Liang said, glanced back at her, and said lightly: "Zuo doesn't take much effort, I look at her really sad, it's hard to help, besides, I and the old man saved her family Liuya but just took advantage of the situation, I didn't think that this Zheng family is a kind person, and I found it with all difficulties, but not only to inquire about her family's six girls, I see that she came to thank her, the cloth is very good, I think Zheng doesn't know how much effort it took to weave, it can be seen that she has a good heart, It's not a white-eyed wolf, and he has stunts, and I'm happy to help such a person. ”
Speaking of this, Ji Songxian glanced at Liang a few more times: "You are living a comfortable life now, and people are losing their duties more and more, everything that should be said and what should not be said comes out of your mouth, if you are like this again, I will not dare to use you in the future." ”
When these words came out, she frightened Liang very much, she knelt on the ground and snorted: "Madam, it's a slave who has a lot of mouths, the slave should die, and the slave won't dare to dare in the future." ”
Ji Songxian just mentioned a little bit about it, and when he saw that she knew her mistake, he nodded lightly: "Let's get up, I didn't snort my head, I'm a stupid girl, if I snort again, I will become more and more stupid." ”
Only then did Liang get up and smile embarrassedly: "The slave is stupid, and he won't be stupid anymore." ”
Ji Songxian nodded her forehead at this time: "You, think more about talking and doing things in the future, don't talk nonsense, it's nothing if you ask me like this today, I am your master, just be more tolerant of you, but in front of others, it will show that our family has no rules, if your master knows, I can't protect you." ”
"Mrs. taught me a lesson." Listen to the training.
Ji Songxian smiled again: "This Zheng family is a capable person, I just saved her, but who knows how much she can do, I looked at the cloth she weaved, and asked her how to transform the loom, I also know some of the principles here, and I heard her say that the head is the Tao, I can't say, we have to change the weaving of the Great Xia Dynasty from the Zheng family, if this is the case, this Zheng family Xu is the person who left the eternal, such a person, why don't I save it?" ”
The party said that Ji Songxian and his entourage went to the inner room, she first took off her outer gown, and only wore a moonlight pleated skirt with an apricot jacket, which became more and more slender and slender, and her figure was beautiful.
She asked around the beam to fetch water, then cleaned her hands, and asked the little girl: "How is the porridge boiling in front of you?" The group found a black satin mink cloak, called the little girl to send it to the front, and asked the little girl to send it to Cheng Huaijin.
I heard the girl reply: "The porridge in front of me is boiling well, Sister Xueye called to withdraw some matches, and only boiled it over a slow fire, and it can be boiled in about the middle of the night." ”
Ji Songxian nodded: "This fine porridge naturally takes a lot of effort, you go and ask Xueye to take someone to guard it carefully." ”
Then, she said to Huan Liang: "I see that the weather has become colder and colder these days, the clothes of Zheng's mother and daughter are a little thin, you find the two gray squirrel gowns that I didn't wear before and send them to her, in addition, go and see if our family has any clothes made for the little girls, if not, ask the people in the sewing room to make two gowns and add two gray squirrel cloaks to come out, and give them to Aoxue and Ling Shuang to wear first." ”
Huan Liang pursed his lips and smiled: "Where do you still need to tell me, the slave has already found two gowns that you didn't wear in the old year, and turned out the two small coats that the slave was wearing in the past, and sent them to Sister Zheng after a while." ”
Ji Songxian nodded her head: "You are a well-behaved person, and you don't say anything about taking my things as a favor." ”
Huan Liang also smiled: "It's all the wife's kindness, the slave dares to do this, if the wife is a powerful one, do you dare to see if the slave still dares." ”
While the master and servant were talking and laughing, they heard the death knell ringing in the direction of the imperial city, and Ji Songxian's face changed slightly: "It's not good, it must be...... I'm afraid that the Queen Mother won't be able to do it. ”
When Huan Liang heard this, he hurriedly went out to call someone to inquire, and after a while, he saw Steward He come in and replied: "Madam, the master told the little one to tell the wife, the queen mother just went, asked the wife to prepare, and immediately entered the palace to cry." ”
Ji Songxian nodded, asked Steward He a few words, and hurriedly found plain clothes to change into, and then took his hair apart and found a flat bun again, wore white silk flowers on his head, and inserted a few silver hairpins, which were very simple and clean.
After packing up, Ji Songxian thought for a while and said to Liang Liang: "Go and bring the white fox fur cloak I made in the old year, you can order two needles and threads to make a good one, and remove the cloak surface and replace it with a plain one." ”
went around the beam to look for it immediately, and found a few excellent girls who made needlework to hurry up, and helped Ji Songxian change the cloak face in more than a moment.
After that, Huan Liang found plain purses, sachets and other things for Ji Songxian to wear, and hurriedly packed them up, so he called a car to help Ji Songxian get into the car. (To be continued......)
