Chapter 2 Xuanhuatang
On the first day of October, ask for a guaranteed monthly pass
****
Ji Xiaotang didn't think much about this matter, but he just learned more about the behavior of Master Ji and Mrs. Ji. The so-called leopard in the tube can be seen.
There are some things that I know and don't have to say it, at least not like Mrs. Ji said. However, Mrs. Ji has such a temper. In this case, it is useless for anyone to persuade her.
"Grandmother, don't be angry, we didn't plan to live there in the first place, the eldest lord and the eldest lady said that, it was also their kindness, if grandmother was more serious, it would be boring." Ji Xiaotang persuaded Mrs. Ji.
"I'm just angry at their hypocrisy!" Mrs. Ji's heart is still not smooth, "I keep talking about filial piety, but what are I doing!" That's true for me, and even more so for others, let alone them. Xiaotang, you've only seen this one thing, you don't think it's anything, and you don't want to care about it. How do you know that those are all treacherous and ruthless people who are used to killing people in pits! You don't care, she only bullies you, and she wants to bully you more and more! ”
Mrs. Ji meant, it didn't matter if she scolded in front of her subordinates, she was going to call Master Ji and Mrs. Ji to come and scold her fiercely.
"Don't say it's your little child's house, your father and mother have nothing in their hearts, and they have to eat their calculations. Xiaotang, you wait and see how your grandmother cleans them up! ”
Ji Xiaotang sighed secretly. Mrs. Ji's words are inevitably subjective and one-sided, but they are not empty words, and now they are also a desire to protect her family.
Mrs. Ji's intentions may be good, but this method is very debatable.
The main thing. In today's situation, the Ji family must be united.
"Grandmother," Ji Xiaotang had no choice but to sit down. Bitterly persuaded Mrs. Ji not to make trouble in this matter. "We just came, and this matter was originally based on the eldest lord and eldest wife, not to mention, my grandmother didn't plan to live in Qianhuatang, and it was not worth making trouble about this matter. Grandmother spared this experience, everyone knows. I miss my grandmother, and I won't dare to ...... again."
Ji Xiaotang persuaded for a long time before Mrs. Ji finally relented.
"That's it. Just listen to you. Mrs. Ji said this, and also told Ji Xiaotang about the past of Xinhuatang. …… Originally, it was a house built by a big salt merchant, but the big man bought it and didn't move anywhere. There is only that Akanekado. Originally, it was not called this name, but it was changed by the eldest lord and the plaque was inscribed by himself. …… You may have seen it when you came in, only the handwriting was different there. ”
Ji Xiaotang really noticed this.
Mrs. Ji is willing to talk about the past, and Ji Xiaotang is also willing to listen, no matter what, it's better than her making trouble.
"The big lady is in her name. Is there really a Akane character? Ji Xiaotang asked Mrs. Ji in a low voice.
"That's right," Old Lady Ji nodded and snorted coldly. "Yang Qianniang."
When Second Master Ji and Second Mrs. Ji came over with Changsheng, Old Lady Ji was already calmed down by Ji Xiaotang's coaxing, and beckoned Changsheng to sit beside her.
“…… It's very clean, the kang is burned, and the furnishings are all good. "Second Master Ji and Second Mrs. Ji thought about it and knew that Old Mrs. Ji was angry, so they deliberately said such things.
Mrs. Ji didn't say yes, nor did she say bad, but her expression became softer and softer.
……
Akanedo
It was the main hall of the main courtyard that greeted Mrs. Ji and received the ceremony, which was only used to entertain distinguished guests, and Mr. Ji and Mrs. Ji did not live here on weekdays, but in the three small main rooms under the east corridor.
At this moment, Mrs. Ji was sitting on the stepping bed, with her back against the Jinxiu backrest, squinting slightly to listen to Feng's mother talk about the affairs of the courtyards on the East Road.
Feng's mother is in her early forties, wearing two golden hairpins on her head and a duck-blue silk long placket. The other girls in the room were all standing with their hands down, and only Mother Feng was sitting on the small pestle in front of Mrs. Ji's feet to talk.
If Ji Xiaotang was here, he would definitely recognize that this Mother Feng was the only mother-in-law who served in Mrs. Ji's house at that time, and was not so afraid of Mrs. Ji's anger.
"Did the old lady really scold? She was quicker to find out, and she was a little more shrewd than before. Mrs. Ji interrupted Feng's mother's words and raised two curved thin eyebrows, "What did she scold?" ”
"Madam, the old lady scolds, what good words can she scold. The wife didn't hear it, so she just thought it was nothing, and asked what she was doing, but she wasn't angry. My wife has always been smart, why can't I figure this out? Feng's mother was busy and persuaded.
Mrs. Ji laughed.
"Mom was right, I was confused for a while. Others don't know, but my mother should know how much I was hurt by the old lady at the beginning. As soon as I heard you say that she was cursing again, my blood poured up on my head. That's it......, I can say anything about this matter, if she makes trouble, only hers is not, even the second master and the second wife are not good, what am I anxious about, hehe. ”
“…… Speaking of which, it wasn't the third girl who stopped her, and persuaded the old lady, and the old lady was about to call the master and his wife to scold. "If that's the case, it doesn't matter whose fault it is, or Master Ji and Mrs. Ji have no face.
"You said that the third girl persuaded the old lady? It's true? The old lady is gone, the old lady has a temper, and there is still someone who can persuade her to live? ”
"Absolutely." Mother Feng nodded, "If it weren't for the arrival of the third girl in time, the old lady would have sent someone to call the wife and the master." When the three girls sent us out, the old lady was still scolding, and we all heard it outside really, it was what the three girls said, so the old lady was silent, and she didn't mention the matter of this yard again. ”
When the second master's family passed, they saw that the old lady's face was already clear. The second master and the second wife both said that the wife was thoughtful, willing to work hard, and arranged properly. It seems that this page has been turned by the old lady. ”
"The old lady only looks at our eldest master unpleasantly."
Mother Feng was silent for a while and sighed secretly. She came to the Ji family as a companion to the Yang family, and has served by Mrs. Ji's side since she was a child. Mrs. Ji is very clever on weekdays. However, when it comes to Mrs. Ji and the Ji family, Mrs. Ji is always a little stubborn and often driven by anger. Doing something unwise, no matter how they do the subordinates to dissuade them, will not help.
"Madam, I can't say it now. Not for anything else, just for the lord and uncle, and the wife can't help but swallow those grievances and cheer up ....... In my opinion, the old lady is not used to living in the capital, and she should live for a short time. Mother Feng persuaded Mrs. Ji.
"Yes. For the sake of the lord and the uncle, I will endure it! Mother Feng's words obviously moved Mrs. Ji, and Mrs. Ji nodded firmly.
"Madam, I've seen the second master's family. If the wife wants to have less trouble in the future. You should try to marry three girls! Mother Feng moved the little pestle to Mrs. Ji's side again, and lowered her voice slightly.
"Three girls?"
"Yes. In my opinion, everyone around the old lady, although everyone said that she was the most hurt by the second girl, but when I looked at it, the old lady relied on the third girl the most, only the third girl dared to speak in front of the old lady, and only the old lady was willing to listen to the words of the third girl. "It's clear from what happened today. If it weren't for Ji Xiaotang, Master Ji and Mrs. Ji would have to kneel down next to Mrs. Ji to be scolded.
Justified and unreasonable. It's not a shameful thing.
"The third girl can not only persuade the old lady, but also be willing to calm things down. I heard the third girl say that harmony is precious. Feng's mother said again.
Mrs. Ji did not answer immediately. She only saw Ji Er's family for the first time today, and she was also paying attention to it at that time. She is still deeply impressed by Ji Xiaotang because of Ji Xiaotang's beauty.
The appearance of the Ji family is outstanding, but what she noticed at first glance was Ji Xiaotang, even if Ji Xiaotang did not apply fat powder, he did not dress up.
Radiant, this is what Mrs. Ji thought when she saw Ji Xiaotang for the first time.
And if you take a look at Ji Xiaotang, you will find that you can't take your eyes off it at all.
I didn't expect that Mr. Ji and Mrs. Ji could give birth to such a girl, Mrs. Ji was so impressed at the time. Even if she is used to seeing the beauties in Beijing, Mrs. Ji Da can't help but admit that Ji Xiaotang's beauty is shocking.
The beauty came out of the people, and when she saw Ji Xiaotang, Mrs. Ji believed this sentence.
And Ji Xiaotang is only a thirteen-year-old girl now, and her future is limitless.
"One more thing. The two girls that the wife gave to the third girl, the third girl gave a reward and passed it on to the old lady. Feng's mother said.
"What?" Mrs. Ji suddenly woke up and didn't seem to hear Mother Feng's words clearly.
"The two girls that Mrs. gave to the third girl are now with the old lady." Feng's mother had to say it again.
At this moment, Mrs. Ji didn't have the heart to think about anything else.
"Those two girls?"
"Those two."
"Why did she ...... the third girl, it was the second wife who saw it and arranged it for her?"
"Not really. When the third girl saw that her wife had sent someone away, she called her into the house to see her, and after only saying a few words, she arranged it in this way. What the third girl said was that she was too young to be served by many people, so she sent the best people sent by her wife to serve the old lady, and her and her wife's filial piety was reached. ”
Mrs. Ji's forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat, and she took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and waved it in disguise.
"What did she say when she sent someone over to the old lady? What did the old lady say again? ”
The third girl didn't have anything else to say. The old lady took the person in, stumbling on something else, and didn't notice anything yet. ”
Mrs. Ji's heart was suddenly relieved, but when she thought about it, her heart fluttered again. Those two people have always been a handle in Mrs. Ji's place.
"People are with the old lady, but I am afraid that one day, the old lady will come back to the taste. If there is anyone who cares to provoke ......, "Of course Mother Feng knows what Mrs. Ji is thinking.
"What can I do?" Mrs. Ji was a little anxious. has been the wife of the house for so many years, and Mrs. Ji has rarely been so anxious to show her appearance.
"It's ...... to blame me for this matter, I should have stopped my wife at the time, just don't do it."
"Wherever you are to blame, it's all my idea." Mrs. Ji smiled bitterly, "I just think that she is a child, and this arrangement is not inconspicuous, and it is no better." ”
Ji Er's three children, Ji Xiaoyun is the oldest. and has already married, and is most favored by Mrs. Ji, so it is not appropriate for people to be arranged by her side. Changsheng is even more inappropriate, only Ji Xiaotang is the most suitable.
"Maybe it's just a coincidence, the third girl is still young, maybe she can't think of going there, she is just filial to the old lady." Mother Feng said this, most likely to comfort Mrs. Ji, because she saw that Mrs. Ji was really anxious.
This thing. Mrs. Ji did something wrong, and it was a scandal when it was revealed.
"Really?" Mrs. Ji was obviously a little unconvinced.
"That's all I can hope for. That's why I said that my wife should marry three girls. Look at the actions of the three girls. It's not a fussy person. The wife was kind to her, and she didn't mention it anymore. It was the old lady who suddenly mentioned it later, and the third girl was willing to defend her and say something for her. It's okay. Feng's mother said.
"Ma'am. Although the three girls are young, they can't be underestimated. I just took the opportunity to go to Yanhua Hall, and they had just settled down, and they couldn't splash the water anymore......"
"Really!" Mrs. Ji thought about it and nodded, she trusted Mother Feng's judgment. "The third girl, I have my own arrangements. It's just the old lady, and you have to work harder for me. I finally coped with this big Buddha! ”
Mrs. said so. Don't bother me. Mother Feng hurriedly got up and said.
Mrs. Ji stretched out her hand and pressed Mother Feng, asking her to still sit and talk.
"How hard it is for an old lady to serve. No one knows it better than I do. I didn't want you, but apart from you, no one else has this ability, and I can't believe it. ”
"Don't worry, wife, I'm just fighting for this old life......"
After this time, a little girl came over to pass on the words of Mrs. Ji, saying that she would let Mrs. Ji go to Xuanhuatang immediately and serve Mrs. Ji with dinner.
Mrs. Ji has really never served in front of Aunt Weng since she got married, and now she is a mother-in-law, but she has to serve her mother-in-law. Mrs. Ji didn't like it in her heart, but she could only get up and ask Mother Feng to take the little girl to groom and change her clothes for her.
"It's good, just live in the countryside, and you really can't eat? Why don't you just go to Beijing? My right eye is always jumping these days, and I always have a bad premonition. Our good days, I'm afraid it's coming to an end! ”
"The bad spirits do not work, but the good spirits." Mother Feng saw Mrs. Ji say such frustrating words, and somehow, she was also shocked. "Don't be too talkative, madam, you can't say anything so frustrating."
"I'm just talking." Mrs. Ji smiled.
There was a little girl outside who reported that the eldest grandmother was coming, and Mrs. Ji immediately stopped talking.
……
Second Master Ji said that there was no need to receive the banquet, but Master Ji and Mrs. Ji still arranged a sumptuous banquet, and in Xuanhua Hall, the family served Mrs. Ji and sat down.
Mrs. Ji only picked up the chopsticks and took two bites of food, and then put the chopsticks down.
The crowd followed with chopsticks.
Mrs. Ji didn't like it.
"I said I couldn't eat it, so you had to put out this greasy table." Mrs. Ji sank her face, Master Ji was originally sitting, but she couldn't sit still, so she had to stand up, Mrs. Ji took a step slower, and she also got up and lowered her hand to listen to the training.
Ji Xiaomu, Yang, Ji Xiaolian, Ji Xiaoxue and Ji Xiaoqin also got up one after another, with different expressions on their faces, but they also slowly lowered their heads.
"Old lady, considering that the old lady and the second master's family came from a long distance, they prepared light dishes. It's just that people like us, and the old lady, the second master, the second wife, the nephews and nieces are still welcome, the meal can't be too simple, put some wild vegetables from the mountains, that's what we are disrespectful, and the old lady can't look down on it......" Mrs. Ji couldn't help but argue, her voice was gentle and articulate.
However, with her defense, Mrs. Ji's five points of anger became ten.
"I am the mother-in-law of the mountains, your eldest wife is the daughter of the prince's family, how did my wife get into your eyes and give me such a meal, it was you who gave it to me, I said this, but I don't know how to lift it......"
Mrs. Ji's pink face suddenly turned red, and she almost fell back in anger. She almost never loses in arguments with others, but she always loses in front of Mrs. Ji.
Mrs. Ji is not reasonable at all, but she prefers to use her identity to suppress people, and she also uses crooked reasoning to vomit people half to death.
Mrs. Ji looked at it from the side, remembering what happened to her in the past, and she sympathized with Mrs. Ji very much. She didn't know how to get rid of Mrs. Ji's anger, but she felt that she had to say something for Mrs. Ji at this time, so thinking like this, she had to step forward.
Ji Xiaotang moved quietly, and happened to block Mrs. Ji Er.
Mrs. Ji Er wanted to speak for Mrs. Ji, and there were people who were more anxious than her.
"Old lady......" Ji Xiaolian took a step forward, her face was also red, and her eyes were almost on fire. She had never seen Mrs. Ji suffer such anger in front of anyone, although she had already listened to Mrs. Ji's instructions, she still couldn't help it.
Mrs. Ji was angry herself, but when she saw Ji Xiaolian speak, she still had enough reason to stop Ji Xiaolian.
Master Ji gave Mrs. Ji a look at Mrs. Ji at this time, and said two words in a low voice.
Mrs. Ji gritted her teeth, and knelt down for Mrs. Ji with a plop.
"Old lady, it's all the daughter-in-law's fault."
Mrs. Ji knelt for a long time, and everyone kept persuading, and finally Mrs. Ji eased her complexion and asked Mrs. Ji to get up.
"There are other porridge and side dishes in the kitchen, and the people in the kitchen will not disperse tonight, no matter when or what is needed, just give an order, and you can prepare it immediately." Grandma Yang said cautiously again.
Mrs. Ji didn't say anything more, only said that she was tired and let everyone disperse.
Mrs. Ji breathed a sigh of relief and took everyone to leave.
Second Master Ji stopped Master Ji.
"Big brother, I have something important to discuss with you." The brothers wrote incessantly, but there were many other things that were inconvenient to mention in their letters. Second Master Ji has been tired all the way, but he can't wait for tomorrow, what he has to discuss with Master Ji must be an extremely important matter.
"I also want to have a long talk with my second brother, but I'm worried that my second brother will be tired on the road."
"It's okay, big brother can have a quiet place?"
"Second brother come with me." Master Ji was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what Second Master Ji meant, and while letting his henchmen lead the way in front, he came to the west road of the house.
Second Master Ji turned around and beckoned to Ji Xiaotang, and Ji Xiaotang followed behind Second Master Ji.
Xinhuatang West Road is divided into three parts, the front is the garden, the middle is the theater, and the back, there is a two-entry courtyard. Master Ji took the two of them to the fifth entrance, which was the back study where he usually meditated.
"I am here every time I fast, and no one is allowed to come." Master Ji led the two into the study, and sent the people who served far away.
At this time, Master Ji noticed Ji Xiaotang.
Ji Xiaotang actually followed Second Master Ji here, and entered the study, and sat next to Second Master Ji.
"Oh......" Master Ji hesitated.
"Big brother, what I want to say, Xiaotang knows. Changsheng is still young, but fortunately, Xiaotang is enough as an arm. Second Master Ji said immediately.
Master Ji was a little disapproving, but it was not easy to refuse, he raised his daughter as a son and spoiled the sky or something, he didn't plan to say it.
"Second brother, wait a minute, I'll send someone to call Xiao Mulai."
"Big brother and slow." Second Master Ji stopped Master Ji, "The fewer people who know about this matter, the better." ”
"Oh......" Master Ji leaned sideways slightly, and the flickering candlelight cast a shadow between his eyebrows. It's up to the second brother. ”
