CHAPTER XXVII
The green cloth carriage drove by on the bluestone paved street, and Ji Songxian, who was deaf to the lively trading on the roadside, was surprised in his heart, and asked Sun: "Feng Niangzi has passed away, and it is reasonable for her mother's family to ask for a dowry, it can't be that the people of the Rongwei Hou Mansion are unwilling to start a family cheaply, and besides, if the Rongwei Hou Mansion really covets Feng Niangzi's dowry, Feng Niangzi is afraid that it will be swallowed up long ago when she is not out of the cabinet, where can she take it to start a family." ”
Ji Songxian really didn't understand, listening to Sun's words, she was very unaccustomed to the Rongwei Houfu as a person, but she felt that her grandmother and aunt loved her very much when she was in the boudoir, and she didn't want to think too much about her original relatives.
Wu smiled and patted Ji Songxian: "You, you are young, how did you know about the accident, before Feng Niangzi's father and mother died, they were afraid that the nest of people in the Rongwei Hou Mansion would calculate Feng Niangzi's going, so they invited relatives and friends to witness, sealed the dowry, and asked the people in the yamen to write a document, stating that if Feng Niangzi grew up as a dowry, if Feng Niangzi died before she grew up, these things would be donated to the national treasury." ”
"Actually, that's the case?" Ji Songxian thought that she had never told her these things until she was sixteen years old in the Feng family, she only thought that her family was close to her, but she didn't want to, but she didn't want to...... At that time, the people of the Marquis of Rongwei Mansion didn't know what kind of unreasonable things happened, so that their father and mother were so guarded, and they didn't even want to look for someone to testify, just so that she could grow up.
For a while, Ji Songxian was miserable, confused, and remorseful, and his heart was simply mixed.
Sun should also want to teach Ji Songxian's meaning, and took her and said: "It turns out that Feng Niangzi and the son-in-law of the Cheng family set a family affair, and when Feng Niangzi grows up, the Rongwei Hou Mansion will take this marriage and talk about it, and want to ask Feng Niangzi to guard the person, in fact, at that time, the people in Jinling thought that the sister-in-law of the Cheng family had passed away, and the Rongwei Hou Mansion was afraid that he wanted to keep Feng Niangzi at home for a few years, and when he grew up to be an old girl, he would take out the sealed dowry for his own use, but unfortunately they miscalculated, Feng Niangzi did not ask them to marry the stepson of the Cheng family, has a family in charge, how dare they fight the idea of dowry, it's just that Feng Niangzi's life is hard in the end. ”
"Sister-in-law, I'm tired and want to rest for a while."
Ji Songxian's thoughts for more than 20 years, the things in her heart were all overturned by the words of Wu and Sun, she didn't feel good in her heart, her ears were buzzing, and she didn't want to hear anything about the Rongwei Hou Mansion anymore, so she just leaned on Sun and said that she wanted to squint for a while.
Sun thought she was really tired, so he quickly hugged her tightly: "Then you squint for a while, and I'll call you when you get home." ”
"Hmm." Ji Songxian nodded, looking at her as if she was asleep, but she was extremely clear-headed.
She really doesn't know whether to laugh or cry now, what she should laugh about is that she is reborn after death but also knows the true face of her relatives, and what she should cry is that she thinks that if she hadn't married into the Chengguo Mansion, maybe she would have died earlier.
Now I think of the people in the Rongwei Hou Mansion who opposed her marrying Cheng Ping'an, not because they loved her, nor because of her face, but because of her rich dowry.
No one knows better than her how much her dowry is, except for those on the surface, as well as the silver tickets, house deeds, and land deeds that her mother secretly hid at the bottom of the jewelry box.
"Mother, the behavior of the Marquis of Rongwei is a little strange today."
Sun carefully inspected and saw that Ji Songxian was indeed asleep, and spoke to Wu in a low voice: "Why do you want to invite us to come over to the house as a guest, we don't have anything to do with his family." ”
After thinking for a while, Sun said again: "When we are invited, why do all the mothers and grandmothers of his family come to the mansion as guests?" ”
Wu Shi was also a little confused: "Do you want to win us over, I look at the old lady Rongwei Hou meaning that she wants to make her daughter recognize me as a godmother, but her family is already a mess, how can I go up again, according to me, this Rongwei Hou Mansion has really become a broken house, and I just killed a daughter to the Chengguo Mansion a few days ago, and this son wants to send his daughter to the Chengguo Mansion again, and he doesn't know how to be decent." ”
"What do you mean by that?" Sun was taken aback and hurriedly asked.
Wu smiled and patted Sun's hand: "Are you stupid when you are your mother, I can see it after a while, the fight for several rooms in the Rongwei Hou Mansion is really fierce, the long house wants a dowry, so he encourages the granddaughter to be a concubine for the boy of the family, so that after the past, the dowry will be taken away by the protection of the boy of the family, the fourth room is the most unproductive, and now it is also the most depressed in the house, so they also hit that idea, but they want to marry the daughter of the fourth room to the family as a wife, and there are more things to follow the sister of the dead sister, but it also makes it, But they didn't look at how Feng Niangzi died, they still dared to ...... I really don't want my life for the money. ”
Sun Shi widened his eyes and covered his mouth when he heard this: "God, is this like this, is it like this?" These people are truly hateful. ”
Ji Songxian's eyes were closed, and the voices of Sun and Wu were drilling into her ears one by one, making it difficult for her to listen to it or not.
After hearing these words, her heart was more sad, but also clearer.
She said why the three of them all calculated her, but it turned out that Feng Rongrong and Feng Shuxian both wanted to enter the Chengguo Mansion, so naturally Cheng Ping'an had always wanted to ask for her to enter the door, so she became the target of everyone, and they all wanted to pull her off the horse, but why did Feng Zhenxian?
Ji Songxian thought about it and thought about it, and finally understood that the drunken man finally understood, I am afraid that the man is the maiden relative of the second wife of the Feng family, they ruined her reputation and told her to marry a relative in the second room, so as to take advantage of Ji Yi, the prime minister, it is really a good idea.
Ji Songxian endured her grief and stayed at Ji's house, so she hurriedly got out of the car, walked into the room quickly, and drove Huan Liang out of the house, she locked the door tightly and threw herself on the bed and cried bitterly.
cried hard, Ji Songxian got up and wiped away his tears, his eyes were clear and firm, even those relatives in the Rongwei Hou Mansion had long been dismissed as her relatives, and they all counted and fought for her as gold and silver, then, after each other, she no longer regarded them as relatives, that is, she lived again, the past was like a cloud, she was no longer Feng Songxian, she was a new Ji Songxian, and she was Ji Songxian from the inside out.
Clenched his fists, Ji Songxian gritted his teeth, the Rongwei Hou Mansion calculated that she could not care about it this time, she should have repaid the love of flesh and blood for so many years, only Princess Jinyang calculated her several times, but she couldn't ignore it, one day, she would definitely return these calculations to Princess Jinyang.
Thinking like this, Ji Songxian only felt that his mind was more clear and understood, and his heart was also safe, and his whole body was relaxed and comfortable, as if he had really thrown away many heavy objects, and the whole person was a lot lighter.
She smiled lightly at the mirror, the people in the mirror were like flowers and jade, the faint sadness between the original eyebrows was gone, replaced by wisdom and courage, if it wasn't for that face, it seemed to be a different person.
"Wrap the beam." Ji Songxian opened the door and called, Huan Liang hurriedly agreed, Ji Songxian smiled: "Come to the basin of water, I'll wash my face." ”
Went out around the beam, and after a while, she came in with a basin of water, Ji Songxian washed her face with her hands, wiped her face with a towel, and then evened out some balsam, cleaned it up, and changed her clothes and sat at the table to look at the geographical maps she took from Ji Yi's study.
She looked at it and thought back to the dream she had a few days ago, some fragments of the lives of many girls in the dream, and some memories of self-peace, and slowly fused all the memories, as if there was a new person in her heart, and the whole person was more clear and intelligent.
When she thinks about the life of the Chengguo Mansion in those years, she also feels that she has lived in vain in those years, and she has only ended up with a stupid word.
No wonder Song always sighed at her, and after explaining the world to her, he was still so worried, and then he didn't talk much, only taught her how to be virtuous, and if she didn't have a virtuous pretend, she had to pretend to be virtuous, but it turned out that Song was already disappointed in her, and the only thing was to hope that she could save her life.
Thinking of this, Ji Songxian couldn't help but sneer.
She's too stupid, and the Song family thinks she's not able to support the wall.
Originally, Cheng Ping'an had no affection for her, and after she entered the door, she blindly left herself at the mercy of others like a wooden clay sculpture, busy currying favor with the Zhou family, and wanted to gain a firm foothold in the Chengguo Mansion, but she didn't want to, no matter how close her mother-in-law was, she would not be able to maintain her husband's closeness.
Although she can also manage the council, but that is just the method of the Rongwei Hou Mansion, whether it is the reputation or money of the Chengguo Mansion is stronger than the Rongwei Hou Mansion, it is not a star and a half, and the director's method is naturally different, but she sticks to the rules and does not want to forge ahead, and her words and actions are boring, no wonder Cheng Ping'an only asked her to keep the name of his wife, but he didn't even like her as a girl.
She completely lost herself in those years, lived a chaotic life, always lived a life that didn't understand enough, she didn't understand herself first, she didn't treat herself well, how could she expect others to be good to you again?
Even now that she has arrived at the Ji family, she only follows the arrangement of the Wu family, just thinking about pleasing the Wu family and a few sisters-in-law, and then being filial to Ji Yi, she doesn't want to live her life well, how to live a more clear and clear life, and finally she will be able to get inferior.
She always said that her daughter's family is still quiet and virtuous, and she learns more about the way of the female red family, and the poetry and the like are inferior, but she always doesn't want to think about why the thousands of years of history are mostly praised by those talented women, those who have poetry and books, and the women who have the glory of ancient and modern poetry are praised by the world, and those women's poems have been passed down for thousands of years, and they are always praised, but no one says that they do not abide by the way of the boudoir.
Only now did she figure out what it was for?
Regardless of men and women in this world, they still want to be good in the end, their own strength and talent are the best policy, the world always teaches women to specialize in the boudoir, but which woman abandons the way of the boudoir, like a man in front of the beauty, the world admires and praises such a woman, I am afraid that people in this world are contradictory, that is, I want to please a virtuous and gentle daughter-in-law, but I envy the woman who acts freely and uniquely, in the end, it is still that kind of woman who lives well and lives freely.
Ji Songxian's mind was chaotic, he thought a lot for a while, and finally understood Ji Yi's hard work, blamed Ji Yi for not asking the original body to read so many female books before, and always raised her like a man, but now, she also understands this fatherly heart for the original owner, Ji Yi really loves her, and wants her to live more freely.
Stunned, Ji Songxian couldn't read the book anymore, tears rolled down his eyes, Huan Liang was startled when he looked at it next to him, turned around and ran out of the house, and after a while, he heard Wu's voice: "My son, what's wrong, how can you cry, but who wronged you?" ”
