Fat chapter, ask for a monthly pass

****

"How could I forget." Second Master Ji's hand paused and sighed.

Mrs. Ji sent someone to find Ji Xiaotang, and Ji Xiaotang said a few words to Second Master Ji before going to Xuanhua Hall.

Seeing Ji Xiaotang leave, Second Master Ji was about to go out, but he sat on the kang again, his face was gloomy.

"Master, what's wrong?" Mrs. Ji Er asked Master Ji Er.

"Our two daughters, Xiaoyun is weaker and Xiaotang is stronger, but in the end, the temperament is still the same. …… It's all too affectionate. ”

Mrs. Ji also sighed.

The two don't want their children to be affectionate, but the selfishness of their parents, compared with others, they always hope that their children will live a happier and happier life, and they will not be disappointed.

"The daughters are like lords on this." Mrs. Ji Er thought about it and said with a smile, "Xiaotang is also the result of the master's usual teaching. ”

"And said that it is like me, in my opinion, more like you." Second Master Ji also smiled.

Mrs. Ji Er told Ji Er a few words in a low voice, and then sent Ji Er out of the house.

……

Xuanhuatang

Ji Xiaotang walked into the upper house and saw that in addition to the people from Xuanhuatang, Ji's grandmother Yang and Ji Xiaolian, the eldest girl of the Ji family, were also there.

Yang was talking to Mrs. Ji with Xiaoxiao, but Ji Xiaolian didn't know what to say to Ji Xiaoyun.

Seeing Ji Xiaotang coming, everyone's eyes turned to her.

"Your sister-in-law brought someone to send a monthly order to your sisters." Mrs. Ji told Ji Xiaotang. She doesn't have a good face for Mrs. Ji, but she is kind to Yang.

"It was the order of the eldest lady. Xiaolian and I were just about to come to see the old lady and her sisters. Yang smiled and spoke, while asking the girl to send the monthly silver.

"Grandmother......" Ji Xiaotang didn't accept cash, but only smiled in front of Mrs. Ji. The meaning depends on how Mrs. Ji makes up her mind.

The Yang family came for a while, and had already told the story of the month, but Mrs. Ji was noncommittal, and only sent someone to find Ji Xiaotang, it seemed that she wanted to listen to Ji Xiaotang.

But Ji Xiaotang came, but it was like this.

Mrs. Ji looked at Ji Xiaotang and thought for a while. He nodded. In the matter of monthly silver, Mrs. Ji did a very decent job. In addition to Ji Xiaotang, Ji Xiaoyun and Sister Changsheng, Gu Xue'er, Zhou Nianhong and Zhou Qiao also have a copy.

If it is only for the three of the Ji family in front. Mrs. Ji didn't want it, but Mrs. Ji arranged it so thoroughly. In Mrs. Ji's opinion, this is not just a matter of silver.

"Since the eldest lady sent your sister-in-law to send it, your sisters will accept it."

Only then did Ji Xiaotang signal Xiu'er to take the monthly silver. and also received the share of immortality.

Yang was relieved. The smile on his face was even more pleasant, and he valued Ji Xiaotang a little more in his heart.

“…… Listen to your eldest brother say that the third sister has been familiar with poetry and books with her second uncle since she was a child. Which one to read now, what poems are ......" Yang took Ji Xiaotang's hand and slowly talked.

Ji Xiaotang knew that the Yang family was the granddaughter of Yang Ge's old relatives, unlike ordinary girls, and she was also familiar with poetry and books. She is a well-known talented woman in the capital, and it is said that she is quite talented in poetry.

And Yang's poetry. It is said that he followed Yang Ge Lao.

“…… However, I have read a few books in general, and I know a few more words than usual, but I am more familiar with "Tang Poems". ”

"Which version did my sister read?" Yang immediately asked.

"When I first learned, it was the "Tang Poems" annotated by the Zhou Master of the previous dynasty, and later it was "Tang Poems Embellished with Brocade", and now I read this every day."

Yang's pink face flushed with joy slightly, and a pair of eyes lit up.

Ji Xiaolian next to her smiled.

"Xiaotang, you don't know yet, this "Tang Poetry Decoration Brocade" is made by our sister-in-law's father."

Ji Xiaotang immediately stood up and apologized to the Yang family with a smile: "It turned out to be the masterpiece of the elder of the pavilion, I don't know, there is a lot of disrespect, sister-in-law should not be surprised." ”

Yang also got up and took Ji Xiaotang's hand more and more affectionately.

"What's so strange about that, it's too late for me to be happy. My father didn't use his real name to write this book, only a few people close to him knew about it, and he didn't know about it outside. …… Xiaotang is extraordinary, more discerning, and can be liked by you, not only I am honored, but even my father will be happy when he knows. ”

As he spoke, Yang pulled Ji Xiaotang to sit down again and asked Ji Xiaotang which edition of which year he was reading. Ji Xiaotang replied with a smile.

"The edition you read is also rare, it can be seen that you really like it, and you are also a book lover. However, I still have a limited edition of the first edition, which is not sold in the book market, and my father has taken it all, and only gave it to a few people close to me, and I will bring it to you later. ”

"Thank you sister-in-law for that." Ji Xiaotang did not refuse.

"Xiaotang ......" Yang asked Ji Xiaotang implicitly why he liked "Brocade", and there was some embarrassment in his attitude.

Ji Xiaotang smiled secretly in his heart, but he also spoke eloquently.

"The writing of "Embellished Brocade" is smooth and charming, and the words are graceful and beautiful, which makes people read it vividly, and it seems to be in the prosperous era of the ancient Tang Dynasty. …… Of these annotations to Tang Poems, only the author of "Embellished Brocade" has the most profound knowledge of the history of the Tang Dynasty, and has also collected the most complete anecdotes about the poet's life, and often has unique opinions......"

Ji Xiaotang seemed a little embarrassed when he said this.

"However, this is just a little bit of my opinion, I didn't know it was made by Yang Ge Lao before."

When she said this, Yang not only did not get annoyed, but regarded her as a confidant even more. She kept holding Ji Xiaotang's hand, and asked Ji Xiaotang which of the supplementary works in "Brocade" he liked the most.

The book "Embellished Brocade" is not only a commentary on "Tang Poems", but also attaches a lot of authors themselves and collected other people's rhyme masterpieces.

Before Ji Xiaotang could answer, he was stopped by Ji Xiaolian's laughter.

"Sister-in-law, you're sick of this poetic nerd again." Ji Xiaolian smiled and spoke, secretly giving the Yang family a look.

Only then did Yang come back to his senses.

When she talks to Ji Xiaotang, she wants to talk about poetry with Ji Xiaotang, and she can do it in private whenever she wants. Now it is a little inappropriate to put Mrs. Ji and others aside.

"It's me who's crazy again!" Yang smiled busily and apologized to Mrs. Ji. "Old lady, don't blame me, I've been like this since I was a child, when I talk about poetry, I don't remember anything, and it's also me who fell in love with Xiaotang's sister."

Mrs. Ji and Yang have only met a few times, although they don't have an in-depth understanding, but they look at Yang's behavior and conversation. I have already found that she is a little nerdy, and she is not all the way with Mrs. Ji.

This is also the reason why Mrs. Ji's attitude towards the Yang family is not bad.

"Xiaotang is also a lover of reading. I often say her father, and the girl's family recognizes a few words. If you don't open your eyes and be blind, you can do anything to make her get up and climb in the middle of the night, and she won't be admitted to the top of the list! …… Okay, now your sister-in-law has a companion. ”

Mrs. Ji said. Everyone laughed.

“…… Make New Year's clothes. The mother said to wait a minute, and when the old lady and sisters came, everyone would do it together. The ruler has been purchased, and the sewing room has been ordered. When the old lady is free, she will let the rulers be sent over, and the old lady and her sisters will pick and choose, and then let the needlework room measure the size. Ji Xiaolian said with a smile again.

"The styles that my mother chooses are all popular styles in Beijing, and the third sister must like it." Say the above words before men. Ji Xiaolian pulled Ji Xiaotang in private, appearing more intimate than others.

Ji Xiaotang thanked and responded with a smile.

I sat in Xuanhua Hall for a long time. Seeing that Mrs. Ji was a little tired, everyone said goodbye.

The Yang family and Ji Xiaolian went to Mrs. Ji's side. Because he was still immersed in the joy of finding a soulmate, Yang's face was full of smiles. She had already heard Mrs. Ji mention it countless times, saying how Mrs. Ji was not good at serving, and she was worried about the people in the second room and one hometown, and the housemother was still from a military attache family, so the family would be very rude and difficult to get along with.

However, today's experience at Xuan Hua Tang was undoubtedly pleasant for Yang.

Yang couldn't help but share her feelings with Ji Xiaolian: "...... I think the old lady is very kind and easy to talk. Xiaotang's sisters are all good, especially Xiaotang. ”

Yang has been looking forward to the scene of Ji Xiaotang and his entourage getting along happily in Xinhuatang.

Ji Xiaolian looked at the Yang family and sneered.

"Sister-in-law forgot what the old lady gave me yesterday."

Yang was stunned for a moment: "The old lady came for a long time and was uncomfortable, maybe because of this." ”

Ji Xiaolian secretly glanced at the Yang family: "If Xiaotang gets along well, he won't occupy the back corner door in the east as soon as he settles down, and no one from our family is allowed to enter or leave." From now on, my people will have to buy some rouge gouache, and all kinds of gadgets will have to take a long detour. Maybe Xiaotang looks at the face of the sister-in-law and can open up to the sister-in-law's people. ”

Yang lowered his head and pondered for a long time.

"I heard that Xiaotang is the housekeeper. The charter she set, I am my sister-in-law, and it is difficult for her to listen to it, and it is not easy for her to show favoritism, and she is not easy to manage others. It's not a big deal to take a detour. ”

"Sister-in-law, you are really ......" What is it, Ji Xiaolian didn't say it, but was laughed at by the Yang family.

The cousins have known each other since childhood, and some things don't make sense with the Yang family, so Ji Xiaolian simply shut up.

The two went back to Qianhuatang and reported everything about Xuanhuatang to Mrs. Ji. Mrs. Ji knew that things were going well, so she nodded. Yang served beside Mrs. Ji for a while, and Mrs. Ji asked her to go down to rest.

The Yang family left, and Ji Xiaolian sat next to Mrs. Ji.

"How?" Mrs. Ji knew her daughter and knew that she had something to say, so she asked.

"Mother, in the future, you can send more sister-in-law to the old lady's side." Ji Xiaolian gave Mrs. Ji an idea like this, "It seems that the old lady will not embarrass her sister-in-law." ”

"That's what I thought, too." Mrs. Ji nodded. It's a pity that she can't let the Yang family do everything for her, and she still can't help but go to Mrs. Ji's side. Even so, she could have had a lot easier.

"My sister-in-law and Xiaotang are very close to each other. However, the sister-in-law is a dull, but Xiaotang is a fine one, and the sister-in-law has been in contact with Xiaotang for a long time, so I am afraid that she will suffer. Ji Xiaolian said again.

Mrs. Ji thought about it.

"Let her go, you don't care. You only pay attention secretly, if your sister-in-law suffers a loss, you will be like this......" Mrs. Ji said and smiled coldly, "When the time comes, someone will naturally come forward." ”

"I see." Ji Xiaolian said that she had written it down, and then asked Mrs. Ji, "Mother, what kind of relative is Gu Xue'er in the family?" I think she's very unscrupulous. It's not better to wear it, but to treat her as a rough girl. The old lady also asked me to call her aunt, which was really ......."

Ji Xiaolian made an extremely disgusted expression.

Mrs. Ji smiled coldly again.

"That's an old lady's family. I didn't tell you before. I also asked your father to find out. What kind of decent relative is that! Mrs. Ji said to Ji Xiaolian in a low voice.

Ji Xiaolian suddenly realized, and the expression on her face became even more disdainful.

"No wonder, it turned out to be the niece of the old lady's mother-in-law. Such a village girl, her father and mother are still so unsuccessful, so she shouldn't be brought into the capital. The old lady looks like she's going to lift her up! It's so good that people can see it, we all have no face with it! ”

The more Ji Xiaolian spoke, the more unhappy she became.

"Mother, Xiaoyun and Xiaotang are okay. We can't tolerate this Gu Xue'er. ”

"Do I like her! The old lady took her, your father was helpless, what can I say? You just stay away from her. Don't show yourself in front of the old lady. ”

“…… I can't get on the stage, and I'm a generation older than me. "Ji Xiaolian didn't follow.

Mrs. Ji coaxed Ji Xiaolian for a long time, saying that Mrs. Ji and these people always don't live long, so Ji Xiaolian put Gu Xue'er down temporarily. He asked Mrs. Ji if she recognized Yao's.

“…… And what kind of relatives is that? ”

Yao knew Gu Xue'er's identity. There is some ambiguity about Yao's identity.

"I asked your father. Your father doesn't remember much about this family either, and after thinking about it for a while, he remembered that he was a cousin and niece of the old lady's mother's distant family. Because of the disaster at home, he went to the old lady. The old lady didn't worry about leaving people in Qingyuan, so she brought them to the capital. ”

"It's also a broken settlement in the countryside, and it's just arranged in Qingyuan, just bring it to our family! You want me to call her aunt too! Where did I get these unseemly aunts! ”

Ji Xiaotang has already made it clear that these people have food and clothing. I don't need Mrs. Ji to take care of it. But even so, Mrs. Ji is fine. Ji Xiaolian still feels dragged down.

"The old lady can't be on the stage herself, and she likes to bring these people around her, so you just don't pay attention to them." Mrs. Ji instructed Ji Xiaolian.

Ji Xiaolian nodded in response, and suddenly thought of another thing.

"Mother, Princess Changning invited me to Guangyue Tower for tea, which clothes should I wear? Mother, do you have any jewelry that I haven't worn to borrow me to wear? ”

"But yesterday the princess sent someone to send the post?" Mrs. Ji asked.

"Exactly." Ji Xiaolian nodded.

In the past two days, she was busy welcoming people from afar, and Mrs. Ji was angry in her heart twice, and she almost ignored such a major event. The ladies of the various houses in Beijing walked around, and Mrs. Ji took Ji Xiaolian to see Princess Changning. Mrs. Ji secretly used a lot of strength to make Ji Xiaolian and Princess Changning gradually get acquainted with each other.

Because of the relationship between Princess Changning, Ji Xiaolian's status among the girls who have not been out of the pavilion in Beijing is also much nobler.

Even so, it is one of the few times that Princess Changning can personally post and invite her.

Mrs. Ji would never let Ji Xiaolian miss such an opportunity, so she hurriedly asked people to open the box and find clothes and jewelry for Ji Xiaolian. After picking like this for a long time, it was almost half an hour later.

Mrs. Ji and Ji Xiaolian were each happy, and they sat opposite each other on the couch to drink tea, and Mrs. Ji told Ji Xiaolian in a low voice what to do during the tea party.

"The princess's pony has been decided. You're the same age as the princess, so it's time for this family affair to be handled. Your father and I are secretly watching, and I also entrusted your grandfather ......"

Speaking of her marriage, Ji Xiaolian's face turned red.

"Mother, I'm still young......"

When Mrs. Ji saw that her daughter was shy, she laughed. Ji Xiaolian's family affairs, she already has a favorite candidate, and Master Ji also agrees. In this matter, she also asked Yang Ge Lao and Aunt Xin, and everyone thought it was excellent.

If it does, it would be fantastic.

Thinking like this, Mrs. Ji's eyes became softer and softer as she looked at her daughter.

Ji Xiaolian was ashamed for a while and gradually got better, after all, she was in front of her mother, and there was no one else. She rolled her eyes, turned to the rulers stacked next to her, and came up with an idea.

"Mother, the old lady just talked to us, and it seems that she intends to ask my sister-in-law and me to bring Xiaoyun, Xiaotang, Gu Xueer and Zhou Nianhong more."

Mrs. Ji narrowed her eyes, and then smiled.

"Did the old lady tell you this? What did she say? ”

Ji Xiaolian didn't care very much at the time, and now she tried to recall and relay Mrs. Ji's words.

"Oh. I see. Mrs. Ji obviously understood something.

"Mother, what is it?" Ji Xiaolian asked hurriedly.

"Hehe," Mrs. Ji sneered. "There is still a place to beg me, and this is easy to do."

"Mother, what did you say?"

"You don't have to pay attention to this matter, you just have to go to the princess's appointment."

"Mother, that's what I'm going to talk about. Mother, I want to take Xiaotang with me. ”

"Xiaolian, do you like Xiaotang?" Mrs. Ji looked at Ji Xiaolian with some surprise.

"Not really." Ji Xiaolian shook her head. "Those few inside, Xiaotang returned the table, and it is not ashamed to take it out."

Ji Xiaolian is known for her beauty in Beijing. There is a foreign family like the Yang family, and since she was a child, she has been regarded as the pearl of her palm by Mrs. Ji, so she has developed a high-minded and arrogant temperament, and she can't see it to ordinary people.

More "noble" than her. Without her, she is bookish and elegant. is "cleaner" than her, and not as noble as her.

Mrs. Ji didn't speak immediately, she only looked at Ji Xiaolian, and looked at Ji Xiaolian a little hairy.

"Xiaolian, you want to take Xiaotang to see Princess Changning because Xiaotang won't embarrass you?"

"Hehe," Ji Xiaolian fell into Mrs. Ji's arms, "I can't hide anything from my mother." This thing. Mother don't care. ”

"Whatever you want, just don't make a big fuss. When the time comes, it will be difficult for your father to explain to the second master. ”

"Don't worry, it's not me bullying her. When the time comes, she will be able to say that she has suffering, and she will have to be grateful to me. Ji Xiaolian smiled.

Mrs. Ji also laughed, and she had some expectations for this matter. After all, she was deflated by Ji Xiaotang, if she could kill Ji Xiaotang's sharpness with her hands like this, it would be no better.

Even if something happens at that time, it is just a matter of the little girl's family, and the other party is the identity of Princess Changning, Mrs. Ji and the second room can only swallow this breath, and no one can say that she has anything wrong.

"You can take her out and see the world. You are a sister, someone really embarrasses her, you still have to protect her. Mrs. Ji finally smiled and instructed Ji Xiaolian.

Ji Xiaolian understood in her heart, and nodded with a smile: "Don't worry, mother, I will take care of Xiaotang." ”

……

Ji Xiaotang sat with Mrs. Ji in Xuanhua Hall for a while, then went to the east wing to sit down, and took care of the affairs of Xuanhua Hall, and then came to talk to Mrs. Ji again and wanted to go back to Yanhua Hall.

Ji Xiaoyun wanted to see Ji Xiaotang's residence, and wanted to say a few words to Ji Xiaotang, so she followed Ji Xiaotang. When Mrs. Ji saw it, she sent Gu Xue'er over, and Zhou Nianhong came with her.

Zhou Nianhong was secretly blinded by the Yao family before she followed. Yao's meaning is to get closer to Zhou Nianhong and Ji Xiaotang.

Ji Xiaotang took a few people to take a rough look at Yanhuatang, except for Ji Xiaoyun, Gu Xue'er and Zhou Nianhong were secretly envious. After a few people sat in the upper house, before they could say a few words, Ji Xiaolian came.

Ji Xiaolian didn't expect everyone to be there, but since she came, there was no reason to go back, so she could only sit down and look around secretly while drinking tea.

Looking at this, Ji Xiaolian was secretly surprised in her heart, and gradually became a little sour.

Since she was a child, she had heard Mrs. Ji talk about the Ji family's family affairs, especially that Mr. Ji was not treated by Mrs. Ji. In order to suppress her son, Mrs. Ji also set up a very disproportionate family affair for Mr. Ji, and the other party was a rude village girl.

After that, because Mr. Ji married Mrs. Ji, he became more disgusted by Mrs. Ji, and only kept face, in fact, he almost let Mr. Ji leave the house, which was almost equivalent to leaving the house.

As for where such a big piece of furniture came from in Xinhuatang, Mrs. Ji was a little vague. Ji Xiaolian decided that part of the furniture, including Xinhuatang, was earned by Master Ji himself, and part of it was brought by Mrs. Ji from the Yang family.

Mrs. Ji was the most favored daughter of the Yang family at that time, and her dowry was extremely rich, and she was famous in Beijing at that time.

Therefore, Ji Xiaolian's concept of the Ji family is very weak, and she only thinks that the Ji family has her own family. For the Ji family in Qingyuan, she only regards it as a distant relative. And her impression of the Qingyuan Ji family is that of a rural rich man with a little bit of money.

No matter how rich a rich man is, he can have a few silver coins, and Ji Xiaolian doesn't care about the fact that Master Ji doesn't get any furniture.

This time, Mrs. Ji and the second room of the Ji family entered Beijing, in Ji Xiaolian's opinion, it was also because of the drought, there was no food in the fields, and these people couldn't live in their hometown, so they came to Beijing to take refuge.

The poor relatives who came to fight the autumn breeze, Ji Xiaolian was impatient to deal with it. But they were instructed by Mrs. Ji, and Master Ji's official career was blocked, and for the people who came from Qingyuan, they had to deal with it no matter what.

Ji Xiaolian had a contemptuous heart for people from Qingyuan, but when they met for the first time, when they saw the people from Qingyuan dressed and pompous, she noticed that there seemed to be a big gap with what she had always thought. Many of the furnishings in Ji Xiaotang's house that she has seen with her own eyes now are things she has never seen, but she knows at a glance that they are rare good things.

Not only are things good, but the layout is also indescribably beautiful. Ji Xiaotang's house is almost the most beautiful house she has ever seen.

This rich man is not only not dirty, but also extraordinarily rich and thick!

Ji Xiaolian felt that she knew some kind of truth. That is, Master Ji, that is, the population of their house was treated poorly by the family, and the Ji family's family routines were given to Ji Xiaotang's population.

With so many grievances in her heart, Ji Xiaolian became more and more determined to take Ji Xiaotang to the tea party.

Because Ji Xiaolian came, everyone didn't talk much, and Ji Xiaolian didn't pay attention to others, only talking to Ji Xiaotang.

Zhou Nianhong first noticed that Ji Xiaolian wanted to talk to Ji Xiaotang in private, so she couldn't sit still, but it was difficult to get up, so she had to peek at Ji Xiaoyun.

Ji Xiaoyun was absent-minded, but she also slowly noticed it.

She can't mention that incident to Ji Xiaotang now, so she can only find an opportunity later.

Ji Xiaoyun got up first, and Zhou Nianhong and Gu Xue'er also got up and said goodbye.

Ji Xiaotang sent a few people out, and then came back and talked to Ji Xiaolian again.

"Xiaotang, it's your first time in the capital, do you have anything you want to play?" Ji Xiaolian asked Ji Xiaotang with a smile.

"I'm not familiar with Jingzhong, so I ask my big sister for advice." Ji Xiaotang replied with a smile.

Ji Xiaolian smiled right in the middle, she just waited for Ji Xiaotang's words.
