The first is to ask for pink.

……

Mrs. Ji's courtyard soon sent people again, but this time she went to Ermen to spread the word and asked people to go to Zhuangzi to find Uncle Gu back.

Uncle Gu was quickly found and entered Mrs. Ji's yard, but he didn't come out for a long time.

Ji Xiaotang and Mama Cheng were sitting in the shade of the tree, and she watched the movements in Mrs. Ji's yard.

Just now, she went to Mrs. Ji's yard once, but was stopped by the girl guarding the door.

It turned out that Mrs. Ji ordered it.

"It's not just the third girl, it's the second girl, and their old lady also told her so." Peony smiled and said to Ji Xiaotang, "It's not just the girls. The old lady didn't say what was the matter, but it was for the good of the girls. ”

Needless to say, Ji Xiaotang guessed it. Mrs. Ji is talking to people about some things that are inconvenient for people to know, or rather, things that need to be avoided by these girls.

Ji Xiaotang did not break in. She knew that even if she went in, she could temporarily distract some things, but it wouldn't solve anything.

Watching the people coming and going in Mrs. Ji's yard, Ji Xiaotang knew that Mrs. Ji was really interested this time.

"Mamma, can you do me a favor?" Ji Xiaotang thought for a moment, then raised his head and said to Mama Cheng.

……

In Mrs. Ji's upper room, Mrs. Ji, Uncle Gu and Jiang were talking lively.

The Jiang family sued Mrs. Ji that Gu Xia'er's matter, she couldn't do it as a woman. Old Mrs. Ji was not angry, but felt that the Jiang family was doing the right thing, so she sent someone to find Uncle Gu back.

Gu Xia'er's matter. Mrs. Ji wants to discuss with Uncle Gu and the two in person.

When Mrs. Ji told Uncle Gu about the matter, Uncle Gu agreed very happily. Uncle Gu's words, if this were someone else, he would definitely not follow it. But Mrs. Ji brought it up, and the other party was Second Master Ji, so he, who was an uncle, could only rely on it.

But. Uncle Gu still has concerns.

Uncle Gu, like the Jiang family, also mentioned Second Mrs. Ji.

“…… Xia'er is the daughter of our family, and she is also a family with a head and face. There are nephews and daughters-in-law on it. I'm afraid ......" Uncle Gu is worried that Gu Xia'er will be subject to the control of Second Mrs. Ji in the future and be angry with Second Mrs. Ji.

"You can rest assured of this." Mrs. Ji took care of everything, "Xia'er is my niece, and I can still make her suffer." Wait for Xia'er to give birth to a son. is the great hero of my Ji family. ”

"That's what I said. But in the end, it suffers in terms of reputation. Uncle Gu refused to relax.

Mrs. Ji thought about it, and asked Uncle Gu what she wanted.

“…… Deming Media is getting married. "Uncle Gu said, you must have three media and six certificates, just like marrying a lady." It's a second-room wife, not a concubine. ”

“…… When I entered the door, I arranged a separate courtyard, only serving the eldest sister, and not going to the second wife to set up rules......" Jiang Shi hurriedly followed.

Old Mrs. Ji lowered her head and thought for a long time. He nodded.

Uncle Gu and Jiang glanced at each other, and their eyes revealed joy.

"Xia'er is none other than that. is the niece of the eldest sister's in-laws, and she is more noble than others from the root. Uncle Gu said.

"If Xia'er gives birth to a son to her cousin, but the second wife doesn't have a son, the eldest sister should make the decision and help Xia'er straight." Jiang said busily again.

This time, Mrs. Ji showed a look of embarrassment on her face, and she thought about it for a longer time.

Uncle Gu secretly looked at Old Lady Ji's face, and glared at the Jiang family, indicating that she was too anxious.

"I'll talk about that later. If it's someone else, that's a must. But this is our eldest sister and our nephew, and we will suffer some losses. Uncle Gu said hurriedly.

"Yes, yes, in the future, that's also a matter of the eldest sister's words." Jiang agreed.

Mrs. Ji was still noncommittal about this.

Although Mrs. Ji didn't want to see Mrs. Ji, she really never thought of asking Mr. Ji to leave Mrs. Ji.

Divorce of his wife is a big deal in the Ji family.

The three of them talked for a long time, and the matter was settled.

"Eldest sister, when will this matter be done...... done? Uncle Gu asked.

"The sooner the better." Mrs. Ji said.

The matter was settled, and Mrs. Ji thought of the attitude of Second Master Ji. It seems that Gu Xia'er's matter is a little urgent, but Mrs. Ji does not regret it. If she hadn't decided earlier, Gu Xia'er would have been decided by others.

She hasn't discussed this matter with Second Master Ji yet. Thinking about Second Master Ji's usual attitude, if he wants him to accept Gu Xia'er, I'm afraid he won't be so happy to agree.

"For the sake of the heirs of the Ji family......" Second Master Ji has to agree if he doesn't agree.

And so it was settled.

"Then it's time for us to get ready." Uncle Gu and the Jiang family were full of joy and said that they would start preparing a dowry for Gu Xia'er.

"Originally, I thought that it was just an ordinary family, and the dowry was also ordinary. But this time it's different, I can't make the eldest sister and nephew look bad......" Uncle Gu looked at Mrs. Ji and grinned.

Mrs. Ji still didn't understand anything, so she immediately called the big girl Peony who was close to her, and asked Peony to go into the back room and take out a brocade box.

Inside the brocade box are five gold ingots.

"You take this first, and prepare a decent dowry for Xia'er." Old Mrs. Ji commanded.

Uncle Gu and the Jiang family were in a hurry, and the two of them grabbed the brocade box and refused to let go.

"Then take Xia'er's house?" Jiang was overjoyed, so he asked.

"Not necessarily." Mrs. Ji said.

Mrs. Ji's plan is to wait for the matter to be settled on the surface, and then go through a formality, so that Gu Xia'er can go home to prepare for marriage. The date for this marriage will not be long. Mrs. Ji couldn't wait to marry Gu Xia'er into the family immediately to give birth to a son for Second Master Ji.

In addition, Mrs. Ji still has some careful thoughts that are difficult to speak.

Keeping Gu Xia'er by her side, she can meet with Second Master Ji a few more times. If Master Ji Er fell in love with Gu Xia'er, he would be a lot smoother.

Although it is for the sake of the heirs. At the same time, Mrs. Ji also has some selfishness in it, Second Master Ji is her biological son, and Gu Xia'er is her favorite niece. Mrs. Ji still hopes that they are all satisfied with this family business.

"That's fine. It's okay like this, it's all up to the eldest sister's arrangement. Uncle Gu said immediately.

There is no need to take Gu Xia'er home, and there will be one less chewing at home. can make Gu Xia'er get close to Ji Er, let Ji Er'er like Gu Xia'er, and Gu Xia'er will be more effective when she blows the pillow wind in the future.

"We are all for the good of our children, and Xia'er also wants to ask. She had to nod her head herself, and I couldn't force her as an aunt. Mrs. Ji said again.

"Why should the eldest sister ask her, as long as the eldest sister commands. Whatever it was, she didn't have anything she shouldn't do. The eldest sister doesn't know that the child has the most real eyes and the most filial piety. Uncle Gu said with a smile.

"Girl's house. It's better to ask. Mrs. Ji ironed in her heart. He said with a smile.

Uncle Gu and Jiang left happily with the box, and Mrs. Ji sat on the kang for a while before ordering someone to call Gu Xia'er.

Gu Xia'er naturally came soon. She didn't seem to know anything, she just sat next to Mrs. Ji, but she didn't ask Mrs. Ji what she called her over.

However, Mrs. Ji's gaze was too warm, and Gu Xia'er couldn't stand it a little, and slowly blushed.

After Fang Cai, Sister-in-law Song said that. Old Lady Ji looked at Gu Xia'er at this moment, and her eyes were very different from usual.

In the past, the old lady looked at Gu Xia'er. It's just to see the niece you like. Now, it's up to the daughter-in-law.

Although Gu Xia'er's face is not first-class beautiful, her figure is plumper than that of girls of the same age. When Mrs. Ji looked at it like this, she felt that Gu Xia'er was a little like herself back then. Thinking of the three sons and two daughters, the sons are each officials, and the daughters are all orders, Mrs. Ji is more and more satisfied.

"Xia'er is also older, it's time to go out and be a daughter-in-law." Old Lady Ji stroked Gu Xia'er's hair and said slowly.

Gu Xia'er has good hair, black and thick, and it is extremely smooth to the touch.

"Auntie." Gu Xia'er became even more shy, "I don't go out, I only accompany my aunt." ”

"Are you telling the truth?" Old Madam Ji immediately grabbed Gu Xia'er's words and asked.

"When did Xia'er lie to her aunt." Gu Xia'er hung her head and said.

"If you're sincere, your aunt is willing." Mrs. Ji said.

Gu Xia'er seemed to be stunned for a moment.

Mrs. Ji felt that she had discovered the girl's careful thoughts, and smiled proudly.

"You're still coaxing your aunt."

"Xia'er is not coaxing her aunt. If my aunt is really willing to keep Xia'er by her side, it will be a blessing that Xia'er has cultivated for several lifetimes. …… If it weren't for her aunt back then, Xia'er wouldn't know where to suffer today. For the sake of her aunt, Xia'er is willing to do anything. ”

"It's just the mouth of the world, although Xia'er is willing, I'm afraid that others will talk about my aunt for this." Gu Xia'er said in a low voice.

Gu Xia'er means that she is willing not to marry Mrs. Ji for the rest of her life, but in this way, Mrs. Ji will inevitably have a bad reputation.

Mrs. Ji laughed again.

"Where will my aunt stop you from getting married? It's a human matter. My aunt wishes you would marry a wishful husband sooner. ”

"Auntie." Gu Xia'er's face turned red with shame, but she still whispered, "Xia'er listens to her aunt every time." If Xia'er says something unfilial, Xia'er's parents will be behind. ”

This is exactly what Uncle Gu and the Jiang family are talking about.

Mrs. Ji became more and more satisfied.

"Xia'er, my aunt has something to discuss with you."

"Aunt does what she commands."

"My aunt has shown you a good person, not someone else, it's your second cousin." Old Lady Ji said as she looked at Gu Xia'er's face, "How does Xia'er think?" ”

Gu Xia'er's head almost hung down to her chest.

"Second cousin...... I have a cousin. Almost like a mosquito humming, Gu Xia'er spit out these words from her mouth.

"That's where you were wronged." Old Mrs. Ji sighed and said, "Your cousin-in-law...... You can't give birth to a son to your cousin. Auntie, this golden grandson, is counting on you......"

Mrs. Ji talked to Gu Xia'er for a long time, and Gu Xia'er was dyed red from her ears to her neck.

"For the sake of her aunt, Xia'er listens to her aunt."

Mrs. Ji was too happy.

"My aunt has already asked your father and mother to prepare a dowry for you, and she will not treat you badly. Don't show it yet, just as you always have. …… Your cousin is a bit left-handed, and he's used to being dominated by your cousin. In the future, with you in front of him, I will be able to rest assured. ”

Gu Xia'er nodded in response.

"Xia'er only honors her aunt. …… My cousin is also filial in his heart......"

"Your cousin-in-law ......, hey, I didn't agree to be this family member at the beginning, and it's too late to say it now. You don't have to pay too much attention to her, she has an aunt and your cousin. ”

When Gu Xia'er went out of Old Lady Ji's house, her face was still red.

Back in the west room, Ji Xiaoyun saw it.

"Aunt Xia, what's wrong?" Ji Xiaoyun asked.

"Not really." Gu Xia'er said.

Ji Xiaoyun took the rake mirror and sent it to Gu Xia'er.

"Why is Aunt Xia's face so red?"

Gu Xia'er saw that she couldn't hide it from Ji Xiaoyun, so she only replied indiscriminately, and never mentioned that Mrs. Ji wanted to marry her and Second Master Ji.

"What did Grandmother ask Aunt Xia to do? I want to go with me, but my grandmother still refuses. Ji Xiaoyun asked Gu Xia'er again.

"It's nothing, it's just a homely thing." Gu Xia'er said.

"I don't believe it. Aunt Xia has something to hide from me. ”

"Not really."

"Hmph, Aunt Xia doesn't tell the truth. I can always find out. Ji Xiaoyun said angrily.

Gu Xia'er glanced at Ji Xiaoyun and knew that she wasn't really angry, so she didn't say anything more.

Although it is not easy for her to tell Ji Xiaoyun now, it will not be a bad thing if Ji Xiaoyun really knows it in a few days. For coaxing Ji Xiaoyun, Gu Xia'er is still very good at it.

……

In the evening, Mrs. Ji called the whole family to her room for dinner.

There are two old men and three old men here. Gu Xia'er and Gu Xue'er did not avoid it.

"They're not outsiders, so you don't have to pay attention to those false courtesies." These are the words of Mrs. Ji.

It seems that in order to create an atmosphere where there is no shortage of people in the house, Mama Cheng was also invited to dine together.

After dinner, Mrs. Ji left everyone to accompany her to gossip.

Old Mrs. Ji's gaze seemed to be intentional or unintentional, moving back and forth between Second Master Ji and Gu Xia'er, and she also led Second Master Ji and Gu Xia'er to talk between her words.

Second Master Ji didn't avoid Gu Xia'er, but he didn't deliberately look at Gu Xia'er. Regarding the topic that Mrs. Ji deliberately brought to Gu Xia'er, Second Master Ji refused to answer a word.

Mama Cheng was talking to Mrs. Ji.

"I have also seen a lot of nobles in the palace, some have earlier heirs, and some have later heirs. I have also seen the second wife's aspect and size, and the heir is extremely complete, but it is a little later. Mama Cheng's words caused a room of people to look at her and Mrs. Ji.

Mrs. Ji's face was slightly red, but she obviously showed joy, and she couldn't help but glance at Second Master Ji.

Second Master Ji didn't shy away from it, and he also had a smile on his face.

"What Mama said, naturally, is not wrong."

Ji Xiaotang squinted slightly, and the corner of his eye swept towards Gu Xia'er.

Gu Xia'er originally had a smile on the corner of her mouth, but at this moment, she suddenly froze.

Mama Cheng's words were exactly what Ji Xiaotang asked her to say.

She wanted Mrs. Ji to change her mind and let Gu Xia'er retreat. (To be continued......) R1292
