Chapter 104: Suffering
Although Mrs. Ji is extremely protective, she is not willing to say much about other people's housework.
After chatting about some family things, the housekeeper's daughter-in-law came in and asked Mrs. Ji if she wanted to set the meal. Old Lady Ji didn't nod immediately, but glanced at Uncle Gu.
Uncle Gu's party obviously came to Ji's house without eating. This is the first year after Gu Xia'er and Jiang Xinglong got married, and Uncle Gu's family must have prepared a banquet to entertain the new aunt.
When Uncle Gu saw Mrs. Ji looking at him, he immediately understood, and he was busy smiling at Mrs. Ji.
"Eldest sister, there is a banquet at home. However, Xia'er and Xinglong both said that they had to come to pay New Year's greetings to the eldest sister and her cousins and sisters-in-law first. …… Intended to stay them until the evening. "Uncle Gu meant to put Mrs. Ji on the head.
I ate at Ji's house at noon, and then went back to Gu's house for dinner.
Seeing that Uncle Gu had arranged it like this, Mrs. Ji nodded, and then ordered someone to start setting the meal.
The banquet was divided into two places, the banquet of the male guests was placed in the warm pavilion of Ruyi Garden, and the banquet of the female guests was in the room where Mrs. Ji usually lived. According to Mrs. Ji's words, there are no outsiders during the New Year, and the ladies don't drink much, so they are crowded with affection here.
Uncle Gu, Jiang Xinglong and Gu Lei'er followed Second Master Ji and Third Master Ji to the Ruyi Garden for a banquet. In Mrs. Ji's room, Gu Xia'er was served by two little girls and took off her big clothes.
Maybe it was because the male guests were gone, Gu Xia'er's whole body was originally tense, but now she seems to be much more relaxed.
Mrs. Ji Er also accompanied Mrs. Ji and the Jiang family to sit at the table today, her body was a little heavy, but her spirit was quite good. Ji Xiaotang helped Mrs. Ji Er to sit down, and on the other hand, he took the cushion in Xiangxiu's hand and put Mrs. Ji Er behind her back. In this way, Mrs. Ji Er can save a lot of effort when she sits.
"Go down, you all go down, I don't need you to serve here." Ji Xiaotang heard Gu Xia'er's voice behind him.
Ji Xiaotang turned his head carelessly, and saw Gu Xia'er sending out two little girls who followed and served.
The two little girls did not just quit, but stood beside Gu Xia'er hesitantly.
"Young grandmother, when I was about to go out, the master and the uncle both commanded, and asked the servants to serve the young grandmother carefully." A little girl said.
Gu Xia'er was a little impatient.
"Who said you weren't careful. And you don't look where it is! With such a big house, can I call slaves and maids? I still have to serve the old lady and the second wife, you go out, I'm afraid that I will be able to run away after a while!" At the end of Gu Xia'er's words, she was a little angry.
Ji Xiaotang couldn't help but look at Gu Xia'er twice.
In addition to being angry, Gu Xia'er seemed to have resentment. Moreover, there is clearly an article in her words. Which master will tell the girl something, and what will he say if he wants to run away!
Gu Xia'er said this, there can only be one reason. These two little girls were sent by the Jiang family, not only to serve Gu Xia'er, but also to monitor Gu Xia'er.
The two little girls were obviously frightened by Gu Xia'er's words, one of them seemed to have more ideas, and when they looked at everyone's eyes, they hurriedly pulled the sleeves of the other. The two little girls saluted Gu Xia'er and slowly withdrew.
"Xia'er come and sit." Old Lady Ji didn't pay much attention to what Gu Xia'er said, so she beckoned Gu Xia'er to take the seat, "You and Xiaoyun are still sitting next to me." ”
Gu Xia'er hurriedly smiled and sat next to Mrs. Ji.
Gu Xue'er was sitting under the Jiang family, but her eyes were not far from Gu Xia'er's left and right, and her eyes were burning and shining.
"The eldest sister can be seen like this, but she is a young grandmother!" Gu Xia'er couldn't help but speak, with an obvious sour taste in her tone. Gu Xia'er has two little girls who are constantly serving, but they are still impatient. She wanted the girl to serve, but she didn't.
The Gu family is not a daughter-in-law who does not serve, but they all serve Uncle Gu, the Jiang family and Gu Lei'er. Gu Xia'er and Gu Xue'er don't have girls who specialize in serving with them.
Gu Xue'er looked at Gu Xia'er, envious and jealous.
Gu Xia'er didn't look at Gu Xue'er at all, but just diligently gave Mrs. Ji vegetables. She has lived by Mrs. Ji's side for many years, and she naturally knows her likes and dislikes in Mrs. Ji's diet.
Mrs. Ji sat with a smile, with Gu Xia'er on one side and Ji Xiaoyun on the other.
“…… It seems to have gone back to the time when I was with my aunt. Gu Xia'er didn't know what to think, so she said suddenly, and then her eyes were a little red.
Everyone looked over in surprise, and Gu Xia'er sensed that something was wrong, so she hurriedly lowered her head to cover up the past.
It's just that no matter how it looks, it's different. Say nothing else, just one thing. In the past, Ji Xiaoyun and Gu Xia'er were almost like one person, but when Ji Xiaoyun saw Gu Xia'er today, she was cold and indifferent, not only did she refuse to take the initiative to talk to Gu Xia'er, but her eyes were a little avoiding Gu Xia'er.
If it was just Master Ji, Mrs. Ji and Ji Xiaotang who said that Gu Xia'er was not good, Ji Xiaoyun would not believe it at all, but would be closer to Gu Xia'er. But Mrs. Ji's words were different.
There is still a gap between Ji Xiaoyun and Gu Xia'er.
Ji Xiaotang saw this, and only pretended not to know. Gu Xue'er also saw it, and for some reason, she was a little happy, and she brought this happiness to her face.
After the banquet, tea was served, and all the ladies accompanied Mrs. Ji to talk.
Gu Xia'er was still sitting next to Mrs. Ji, and first peeled the fruit for Mrs. Ji, and then peeled another one for Ji Xiaoyun.
Ji Xiaoyun turned her face away, picked up another fruit and ate it slowly.
Gu Xia'er's expression was a little gloomy, and she slowly put down the fruit in her hand.
"Sneer......" Gu Xue'er sat next to the kang and let out a sneer.
“…… There was no one in his father-in-law's house, and Xinglong was an only son. When Xia'er got married, she should be in charge of family affairs. The Jiang family was free at this time, so they came to Mrs. Ji and said, "The Jiang family will have to be handed over to their little couple sooner or later." But Xia'er has been passing through the door for a few months, and she won't be allowed to take care of any family affairs. ”
"That's the Jiang family's distressed daughter-in-law who is new to Xia'er." Mrs. Ji responded casually.
"Sister, you're thinking too simply." Jiang almost wanted to roll his eyes at Old Lady Ji. "Who is as good as the eldest sister's life." Before I passed the door, my mother-in-law was gone. After passing the door, the sister-in-law in the family will get married. Mrs. Ji's house is clean again.
"Where is the Jiang family's distress for Xia'er, it's Jiang Qiao'er......" The Jiang family leaned in with Mrs. Ji again, "Don't let go of the Jiang family's affairs, don't allow Xia'er to interfere." ”
"She is a person who gets married, and she has long been a member of the Ma family, how can she still be in charge of the Jiang family's affairs and be the grandmother of the Jiang family. Asked her to help with the cooking before, but there was no one in the Jiang family. Now that the Jiang family has a serious young grandmother, she should hand over all the family affairs without waiting for anyone to ask. ”
But Jiang Qiao'er not only did not hand over the family affairs in her hands, but also did everything possible not to allow Gu Xia'er to ask about family affairs.
"What's this called?" The Jiang family walked out of the indignant look, "The Jiang family is used to doing things domineeringly, they are bullying us, and there is no one who can speak behind our Xia'er." ‘
When Jiang said this, it was obvious that he was instigating Mrs. Ji to come forward and fight for Gu Xia'er's power as a housekeeper.
"Xia'er wants to be a housekeeper?" Old Mrs. Ji asked Gu Xia'er.
Gu Xia'er glanced at the Jiang clan and did not immediately answer Old Lady Ji's words.
"Xia'er, why don't you speak, your aunt asked you?" The Jiang family was busy giving Gu Xia'er a look.
"Mother, for the New Year, the big guy is happy to accompany his aunt, why bother talking about this!" Gu Xia'er said, the Jiang family is not allowed to talk about this matter again. Neither said she wanted to be a housekeeper, nor did she say she didn't want to be a housekeeper.
The Jiang clan glared at Gu Xia'er, as if he felt that Gu Xia'er was not angry.
Old Mrs. Ji didn't seem to see anything, and then she talked about Gu Lei'er.
"I heard that there was a kiss to Lei'er a few years ago?" Mrs. Ji asked Jiang.
Gu Xia'er got married, and then the Gu family should take care of Gu Lei'er's family affairs.
"There is one." Jiang nodded and pursed his lips. "It's a small family in the countryside, and it's just about 100 acres of land, and the family is farming. It's just that he is still the same age as Lei'er, and nothing else is worthy. ”
"It's okay with the family background, as long as the girl is good. You are just this one son, and the character of your daughter-in-law is the most important. Mrs. Ji said. This is a rare serious statement.
Jiang was busy laughing.
"The eldest sister is right, Lei'er and his father think the same way. That girl, a small family, is stingy, and she is not a good match for Lei'er. Lei'er, the daughter-in-law, still has to look for it slowly. ”
"The eldest sister can see where there is a suitable girl, if the eldest sister is in charge, it will be no better." Jiang said again.
"Oh......" Mrs. Ji thought about it, and she really couldn't think of any girl of Gu Lei'er's age. The Ji family doesn't have many relatives, and Mrs. Ji doesn't like to go out, and she doesn't like to meet guests, so she knows all about her own girls. "If I had it here, I would have told Lei'er a long time ago."
"Lei'er's family affairs have to worry about the eldest sister. When it's almost over, I have to ask the eldest sister to come forward. Jiang said again.
This is obviously to want Gu Lei'er to marry someone with a higher rank, and the Gu family is not enough to go out, so he said that he would ask Mrs. Ji to come forward.
"You go and talk freely, you don't have to be here all of you." Old Mrs. Ji suddenly thought of something, and she was about to tell the Jiang family, and saw Ji Xiaotang in a blink of an eye. There are some things that are not good to say in front of these girls. "Although Xia'er is a daughter-in-law, don't give birth."
Mrs. Ji asked Ji Xiaoyun to take everyone to the West Corner.
The west room is where Gu Xia'er and Gu Xue'er lived when they were in the Ji family.
Ji Xiaoyun lowered her eyebrows, reluctantly, but she didn't refuse. Ji Xiaotang didn't want to go, but was gently pushed by Mrs. Ji Er. Mrs. Ji Er meant to ask her to take care of Ji Xiaoyun.
Ji Xiaotang had no choice but to follow to the west.
When she entered the west room, Gu Xia'er's eyes turned red again. She touched east and west, and it seemed that she couldn't see enough of the things in this room.
Before Ji Xiaoyun could say anything, Gu Xue'er was a little disdainful.
"Eldest sister, you have become the young grandmother of the Jiang family, you haven't seen enough of the good things, you haven't touched enough, how can you put these in your eyes!" Gu Xue'er was jealous of Gu Xia'er, but whenever she talked to Gu Xia'er, her words were tingling.
As for why Gu Xue'er hated Gu Xia'er, there were many reasons, but there was one of the most important things at present. Since the two sisters were sent home by Mrs. Ji, Mrs. Ji has never mentioned taking the two back. Gu Xia'er was already married, and Gu Xue'er originally thought that Mrs. Ji would take her back, but Mrs. Ji seemed to have forgotten about it and never mentioned it.
Gu Xue'er didn't think that she was bad and didn't please Mrs. Ji, she thought it was all Gu Xia'er's fault.
If it weren't for Gu Xia'er, she would still be living in this western room now.
Gu Xia'er went to be a rich young grandmother, but she suffered in the bitter kiln of the Gu family.
"It's the same." Gu Xia'er didn't get angry with Gu Xue'er, "The best days of my life have been spent here." ”
Gu Xia'er is not yet twenty now, so she said such things. It seems that Gu Xia'er's life in the Jiang family is indeed not easy.
Gu Xue'er snorted angrily, Ji Xiaotang naturally didn't speak, and Ji Xiaoyun deliberately twisted her face away and didn't look at the Gu sisters.
"Xiaoyun." Gu Xia'er walked to Ji Xiaoyun's side and was very careful with her.
"Did you receive all the things I asked my father and mother to bring to you?" Gu Xia'er asked Ji Xiaoyun.
Ji Xiaoyun was silent.
"Xiaoyun, do you like those things or not, sue me. Next time I'll pick the one you like. "Gu Xia'er married into the Jiang family, in addition to asking Uncle Gu to bring a needle and thread to Mrs. Ji, she would also bring something to Ji Xiaoyun every time.
is different from the old lady Ji, in addition to the needlework she made herself, there are also some chic and fun jewelry and gadgets for Ji Xiaoyun. Those things naturally belong to the Jiang family.
Even if Gu Xia'er was not happy with the Jiang family and couldn't manage the house, the Jiang family was not stingy with Gu Xia'er in terms of money.
Gu Xia'er asked like this, Ji Xiaoyun still didn't speak, but she stepped aside, took out a small burden, and then turned around and threw the little burden heavily into Gu Xia'er's arms.
"I don't like it, and I don't want you to send me any more things!" Ji Xiaoyun said loudly.
The burden fell on Gu Xia'er's body and scattered, and the bits and pieces fell to the ground.
Gu Xia'er and Ji Xiaoyun didn't look at those things, but Gu Xue'er's eyes widened.
It turned out that Gu Xia'er gave Ji Xiaoyun so many good things. Gu Xia'er was reluctant to give these things to her!
"Xiaoyun, why are you angry with me, you tell me clearly, don't vomit me like this. You don't know, these days, I dream about you and my aunt almost every day. What is the young grandmother of the Jiang family, I don't have to do it. If I had to choose, I'd rather be with you and my aunt forever. Gu Xia'er cried. Xiaoyun, good Xiaoyun, you don't miss our past relationship......"
