Xue Ji's family is really not a good person, and he will go to the mansion every day to find Nalan Jinxiu, and he has been like this for four or five days in a row. Nalan Jinxiu knew that the third brother had no intention of promoting Xue Chang, so he originally wanted to avoid her, but it was not good to see her again and again, so as not to lose her reputation as treating the elders indifferently.

"As soon as I mention the matter of my family Chang brother, you will change the topic to the side, is it possible that my family Chang brother is in trouble now, and even his own cousin can't be pointed out? Xue Jishi was also patient to say good things, but Nalan Jinxiu obviously didn't eat it, so she started to splash again when she was in a hurry.

Nalan Jinxiu had long expected that she would be like this, and she was familiar with it, she quietly accompanied her smiling face, and her voice was soft and gentle: "Auntie, where are you talking about, if I really don't recognize this relative, I can still treat you with the best tea fruit, and I will personally accompany you to talk here?"

"What's the use of you giving me tea fruit, talking to me? If you don't solve the actual problem for me, I want you to say a clear word today, and you don't care about Brother Chang'er's affairs?"

Nalan Jinxiu made a helpless expression: "I am a woman in the house, no matter how long my hand is, I can't reach to the court." ”

Xue Jishi looked angry, her fingers pointing at Nalan Jinxiu were trembling, and she sneered and said, "It's good, it's good, you're pretending to be confused to the end." I can't get into Wenyuan Pavilion and the Criminal Department, but I still came to the backyard of this Ji Mansion, I'll go to the old lady now, I don't believe that she doesn't care about this matter!"

After Xue Ji's temper was lost, he took his own people to Mrs. Ji. After she left, Nalan Jinxiu drank tea quietly, ate a few delicious refreshments, and waited for someone from her grandmother's yard to come and pass her.

After a while, I saw Mama Guo coming. Nalan Jinxiu knew that her grandmother was moved by what Xue Ji said, and asked Mama Guo to come over to investigate the situation. Nalan Jinxiu said it one by one, especially Ji Hongye's attitude. Anyway, the third brother didn't plan to promote Xue Chang from the beginning, so it wasn't a mistake to push the matter on him now.

"Old lady, you are giving a comment, Brother Chang and Brother Ye are cousins, can they always have one heart in the future, isn't it better than promoting outsiders? ”

Nalan Jinxiu followed Mama Guo into the door, and when she heard this, she looked at Xue Ji's and cried so pitifully. If it weren't for the fact that she was born fat and old, she could really afford the pear blossoms and rain. Nalan Jinxiu doesn't cry much, even if she really cries, she is emotional to that extent, so she really envy them for crying like this when they are acting.

Old Madam Ji symbolically said a few words, and let Xue Ji take him to the side compartment. Then he said to Nalan Jinxiu with a serious expression: "Your aunt has been to your house so many times, I think you also have some understanding of her conduct. This is a troublesome skinmaker, if the thing she asks for is not so difficult to complete, let it be from her!"

Nalan Jinxiu knew that she was the granddaughter of Mrs. Ji earlier, so the old lady connived and pampered her. And now her identity is the mother of the Ji family, although she has not been in the door for a long time, she is young, and everything in the back house is still in charge of Aunt Su, but sooner or later it will be handed over to her. Therefore, Mrs. Ji's requirements for her will definitely become more and more severe in the future.

She first saluted respectfully, and then said slowly: "Grandmother doesn't know, I told the third brother about Xue Chang, and the third brother said that although this person reads well, he is wooden by nature, and he is easy to be swayed by others, and he cannot be entrusted with a big task." ”

"Ye'er is also grown up now, and he may not be able to listen to what my grandmother says, but you are a husband and wife, you can persuade him for me. The Xue family is Xue Chang alone, and the glorious lintel points to him, although he can't be entrusted with a big responsibility, but it shouldn't be difficult to mention his official position, but he was the top three in the palace and stayed in the Hanlin Academy for these years. ”

"If the third brother promotes Xue Chang, others will think that he is the third brother's person. The court is not peaceful, and there are not a few people who want to calculate the third brother, which will bring disaster to the Xue family. And if something happens to his family, the third brother will be rescued, and after a long time, it is inevitable that someone will be caught, which will affect the third brother's career. ”

Old Madam Ji's expression gradually became serious, and she nodded: "What you said is reasonable. ”

There is another sentence, the grandson has been thinking about it for a long time, and he still has to say it to his grandmother. Our Ji family seems to have a big business, but we have also endured a lot to have today's family business. Several generations of people have worked hard to create the signboard of the Ji family firm, and we must keep it.

Now there is a third brother in the court, and there is a father in the mall, so it is full of flowers. But grandmother never thought that it would be difficult to sing alone, and the third brother and father had no other help. Up to now, the descendants of the Ji family have not had a finished except for the third brother. ”

Mrs. Ji frowned: "What do you want to say, don't hesitate, just say it." ”

"Although the Ji family has a big business, it can't afford to be defeated. The side branches surnamed Ji alone are enough for us to support. If anyone who is related to the family has to come to the door to fight the autumn breeze, then no matter how big the Ji family is, it will be stolen sooner or later. ”

Old Madam Ji nodded, with a little more approval in her eyes, and she said, "What you said makes sense, but I'm old and confused." ”

Nalan Jinxiu hurriedly saluted again, with a sincere attitude: "If it weren't for you in charge of the back house, how could the Ji family have developed smoothly to this day, grandmother, you have made a lot of contributions." It's just that you have a good heart and don't want to see your juniors suffer. ”

Old Madam Ji smiled: "You have a sweet mouth and can speak." ”

"I don't know how many of our Ji family's relatives call you Ancestor. Sun Er knows that there are some things that you can't refuse with face, so you might as well push this matter on Aunt Su or Sun Er, anyway, the person in charge always has to be arranged, and it is not bad for one or two. ”

Old Madam Ji shook her head with a smile: "You kid, you can see through everything at a glance, like a ghost." Grandmother is old, and the Ji family will still have to rely on you in the future, I am very relieved that you can think about it so thoroughly. Go back, and I'll take care of your aunt here." ”

Nalan Jinxiu breathed a sigh of relief, she had never been so relaxed in the past few days when she was entangled by Xue Ji's family. When I returned to Jinyuan, I was going to make dumplings with three fresh fillings. Thinking that when he got up in the morning, the third brother said that he would come back early today, and said that he wanted to eat dumplings.

She was glad that she had solved a big problem, but she didn't know that it was not easy to get rid of it. After Xue Ji came out of Mrs. Ji's courtyard, he returned to Xue's house and brought Xue Chang's wife to Jinyuan again.

When Nalan Jinxiu was entangled by the two of them and had a headache, Ji Hongye came back, he was still wearing court clothes, and he only took off the Liang crown. The crimson Zhengerpin court dress looks very good on him, and it is more imposing than the usual elegant atmosphere.

As soon as he came back, he heard from the people in the courtyard that the aunt of the Xue family took her daughter-in-law to the door and pestered his wife for an afternoon. Even Grandma Sun sighed helplessly, saying that she couldn't drive away, and they all followed when Mrs. wanted to go back to the bedroom, I really had never seen such a faceless person.

His face was still very calm, and his heart was angry. In the Ji family, under his protection, there are still people who can make it difficult for his wife, which he can't tolerate.

"Third brother. As soon as Nalan Jinxiu saw him, he walked over quickly.

When Ji Hongye saw her walking so urgently, he raised his eyebrows and said softly: "You go slowly." ”

Nalan Jinxiu thought to herself, she couldn't slow down, but she had seen a savior. She was so pestered that she didn't know what to do if he didn't come back.

"Have you taken medicine today?" Ji Hongye held her up, and smiled when he saw the dependence on her face.

"Nope. Nalan Jinxiu replied in a low voice, and shrunk her neck when she was about to leave, looking very scared. Isn't she afraid? Her third brother will definitely force her to drink medicine, and may even punish her for writing, and maybe even some other fine.

Who knows, today's Ji Hongye is surprisingly gentle. Listening to her words, her brows were still stretched, and she only rubbed her hair dotingly. Although the voice was as calm as usual, it was mixed with an indescribable softness: "Go to pass the meal, go to the side compartment today." ”

"Good. Nalan Jinxiu glanced at him, meaning that there were still two Buddhas poked over there, Ji Hongye gave her a reassuring look, and she left.

Xue Jishi saw that Ji Hongye was back, but he didn't pester Nalan Jinxiu anymore. only laughed with him, said a basket of good words, and praised Xue Chang's words, and even more listened to Ji Hongye, who did not leak his emotions, couldn't help laughing. It's just that this smile is different from the smile at Nalan Jinxiu just now, most of it is sarcasm.

"Auntie, if Xue Chang is really so good, why did you ask for my door today?"

Xue Ji's can deal with it with a stomach, but as soon as she saw this court dress, she felt inexplicably afraid, her lips pursed twice, and she didn't spit out a word.

Ji Hongye looked at her with a cold expression and said, "My aunt has been here for a few days, and I should be able to find that my wife's health is not very good." You've pestered her all day, so that she doesn't even have the heart to take medicine, what do you think is going to do with this?"

Xue Jishi endured the feeling of numbness in his scalp, and still laughed: "If you don't eat one meal, it's okay to worry." I had a serious illness in my early years, and the doctor prescribed a decoction for half a year, and I didn't even take it for a month, and now I am not also strong. ”

Ji Hongye's eyes looked at her, his thin lips condensed into a sarcastic arc, and his tone was slow: "Can you compare with her?" she is the county lord of Daning, and she is the second-grade ...... of the imperial court" He paused here before he added: "It's the lady I am marrying back to Mingmei, and she is the top of my heart, can you afford it?"
