294: One man with a thousand faces

Following.

Ji Hongye got up very early, today is fifteen, and he wants to go to the early court. Nalan Jinxiu was originally confused, but she was still thinking about going to Ji Hongwen's mansion today. Thinking that it was the first time she came to the door, she should be well prepared, so she barely opened her eyes, hugged the thin quilt, and sat up.

Ji Hongye was waiting for Jixiang to wear court clothes, and when he saw that she was awake, he said lightly: "I'll do the rest, you go down first." ”

Jixiang glanced at the lady who had just sat up, thin and weak. She was a little distressed, the third master asked for hot water so late last night, and what he did was self-evident. She wanted to see Madame, but even the third master personally did the bathing, presumably the situation was more miserable, and Madame was afraid that the road would not be easy.

Last time, Mama Zhang said that Mrs. is young, and she must pay attention to the scale, otherwise she will be easily injured, and I don't know if the third master listened. She sighed, thinking that she must go to Mama Zhang today and let her talk about the third master. After a thousand turns in my heart, I still respectfully withdrew.

Ji Hongye tidied up his court clothes, approached the bed, took her to his chest, pecked her forehead, and said softly, "Why don't you sleep?"

"I want to visit my sister-in-law at my eldest brother's house today. ”

"Why do you want to go to his house?"

Nalan Jinxiu decided not to tell him until she figured things out, and then came back after she met Ji Hongwen's wife.

"Grandmother asked me to take care of the house yesterday, and I thought that although the eldest brother was divided, the food and clothing were still allocated from the house, so I wanted to go and see it. ”

Ji Hongye nodded, touched the top of her head, and instructed: "The eldest brother has been following his father for so many years, although he is a little wooden, he is not bad-hearted. As for Mrs. Sister-in-law, it shouldn't be easy to deal with, you will know when you get along. The money given to them, although it is the account of the house, but the eldest brother followed his father to run all over the world, and there is no merit and hard work, and those are also what he deserves. Mrs. Sister-in-law may want more, as long as she is not a lion with a big mouth, you should not worry about money. ”

"I thought you only knew about business and study, but I never thought that you even knew these things about the inner house, and you also knew the personality of your sister-in-law. ”

"These things are not difficult, as long as you are willing to use snacks, you will know them in your heart. ”

Nalan Jinxiu yawned again, looking really sleepy. Ji Hongye pressed her to the bed, covered her with the quilt, and said softly: "Nothing can be done overnight, you sleep for a while and wake up." ”

"Really can't sleep anymore. Nalan Jinxiu is now anxious to find out if the gradual food poisoning is due to the white potato cake.

"Obedient. ”

"Grandmother has given me the task, and I must deal with it today. ”

Ji Hongye looked at the blue marks under her eyes, and felt distressed. Last night, he thought she was shy to refuse, but he didn't admit that there was really something going on today, so he wouldn't have dragged her to mess around if he knew it. He whispered, "What's so important?

"Tight. Nalan Jinxiu got up, yawned slightly, and said, "You go to breakfast! I'll get up and clean up, and the time should be almost up." ”

Ji Hongye lowered his head and kissed her forehead, didn't say anything, turned around and went out. Nalan Jinxiu was confused and let Ji Xiang Ruyi clean up, I heard that she was going to visit her sister-in-law, but the two girls dressed her up with their hearts. When she was confused enough, she looked at herself in the bronze mirror, and couldn't help but be a little unacceptable: "The makeup is too bright, why do you apply so much powder?

"Ordinary people are like this, and they are naturally gaudy. And the lady was born brightly, so it complements each other and is very good-looking. Ruyi just thinks that his wife is handsome, so she looks better when she dresses up like this.

"Go fetch water. ”

"Madame......"

"I'm going to wash my face. Nalan Jinxiu's attitude is undoubted, she is going to explore Mrs. Ji Hongwen's bottom, not to go to the beauty pageant, dress up and do something.

In the end, at the insistence of Nalan Jinxiu, he wore a goose-yellow gown embroidered with lotus patterns, and the headdress only brought the hairpin of the butterfly love flower. Xu Jinsheng's face is too bright, if he doesn't know how to restrain himself in his dress, he will cause trouble sooner or later.

Seriously, Nalan Jinxiu felt that her appearance in her previous life was not as good as her. Before, she was young, and she looked a little childish, but now her facial features have grown, and the previous baby fat is gone, and she looks very charming and lovely.

Especially after the wedding, the chefs in the house are well versed in the way of health preservation, and the meals are delicious and nutritious. In addition, the third brother spoils her everywhere, she is also in a very good mood, and the qi in her body is probably straightened out, and the whole person is more and more dazzling. This appearance is likely to become more and more charming as you get older. Although it is impossible for the third brother not to be able to protect her, try not to cause unnecessary trouble.

The place where Ji Hongwen lives is not far from Ji's house, and the sign hanging on the door reads the word "Braised Man", which is quite handsome. This name has some meaning, probably related to Ji Hongwen! There are lanterns hanging on both sides of the door, but it is the mark of the Ji family, which looks exactly the same as the Ji house.

The little maid guarding the door, after listening to the auspicious words, saluted respectfully, and said, "The third lady waits, and the little one will go in and pay tribute." ”

In a few moments, the doorman returned, followed by a woman dressed in grace and grace. Nalan Jinxiu thought, it must be Ji Hongwen's wife, she had seen it at the family banquet before, but she didn't have much of an impression.

"I didn't know my sister was coming, I didn't prepare anything, but it was rude. Ji Hongwen's wife greeted with a smile, very close to nature.

Nalan Jinxiu also replied with a smile: "It turned out that I came abruptly, and I didn't pay a greeting to my sister-in-law in advance, it was my rudeness." ”

"Sister's words are out of sight, we are all daughters-in-law of the Ji family, and we are a family, how can there be any rudeness or rudeness. ”

When Nalan Jinxiu saw that she directly called her sister instead of her younger brother and sister, she knew that she should be a very sociable person, so she took her hand and walked into the courtyard, and did not forget to ask: "I don't know what to call my sister-in-law?"

"My surname is Jiang, and my single name is a man. Jiang Man lowered his head slightly, and said a little shyly: "It's just that after I got married, no one called me by my name anymore except for my husband." ”

Nalan Jinxiu also didn't understand the customs of the Ning Dynasty very well, and wanted to give her husband's surname before a woman, like Jiang Man, she was directly called "Ji Jiang's".

She had asked Ah Niang before, like this, if the two brothers married wives with the same surname, wouldn't there be people who couldn't tell the difference? At that time, Ah Niang disliked her, saying where did she come from so many strange ideas. Actually, as far as Jiang Man is concerned, he probably doesn't like the title of Ji Jiang, or all women don't like it.

"The vine is very good, especially for women. ”

Nalan Jinxiu completely praised her, but Jiang Man asked very seriously: "What do you say?"

Nalan Jinxiu didn't expect her to ask such a question, but if she couldn't answer at this time, wouldn't she be suspected of flattery? So, she thought for a while and said, "If you are wide, you will have more differences, and if you have more differences, you will be spared." Doesn't a woman's use of this word mean having many sons and many blessings?"

Jiang Man was very happy to hear it, held her hand and said with a smile: "You people who read a lot talk well, people like me who can't read a few words, they only know that this vine word means weeds, and they complained about their parents because of this, and they didn't pay attention when they chose their names, so they found someone who had studied to pick them up." ”

"I didn't read much. Nalan Jinxiu said against his will. But it can't be said that it is against her will, except for medical books, most of the books she reads are books that are not on the table. Even the Four Books and Five Classics are not good-looking for her, otherwise the third brother would not have written them into a calligraphy and let her describe them.

Jiang Man looked at her and said, "The third brother is a young tanhua, and he is also the elder of Wenyuan Pavilion, you and his childhood sweetheart, even if you are familiar with it, you must have read a lot of books." ”

"The third brother has read a lot of books, and the meaning is deep, and I don't understand it. ”

The two of them were talking, and they had already arrived in the hall. Jiang Man asked people to serve tea, and along with the tea, there were a few refreshments. Nalan Jinxiu took a closer look, but there was no white potato cake that his grandmother ate. She took a sip of tea as if unintentionally and praised: "The tea is brewed very well, and Wuyi cinnamon should taste like this." ”

Jiang Man's face suddenly became not very good-looking, and she said with a bit of yin and yang: "The one who makes tea in the house is the concubine of the husband last year, whose name is Rulan, if my sister likes the tea she makes, why don't I call her over to serve." ”

Nalan Jinxiu didn't think that his casual words would poke at this point. She waved her hand in refusal, and a smile was thrown on her face.

"Rulan is a tea seller in a tea shop, and she has no other skills besides being able to make tea. But I heard my sister just say that this tea is Wuyi cinnamon, and she just said that it is called Buckle Ice, and I don't know much about tea. ”

Nalan Jinxiu took a sip of tea with a weak heart, but she already knew it in her heart. This Rulan must be a person who understands tea very well and loves tea, and some elegant tea customers will give tea a name. Just like some people call Wuyi cinnamon buckle ice, and some people name it Zhengyu. It's all a personal preference, and it has nothing to do with the tea itself.

"I don't know what means this tea girl used, anyway, she was fascinated by her husband, and she had to let her enter the mansion anyway. I look at the fox statue of her, I'm afraid that she is a blessed one, and it will drag down the people up and down in this house. ”

Jiang Man's words were bitter and mean, Nalan Jinxiu didn't like to listen to them, but she had to endure them. She lowered her head and took another sip of tea, and said with a smile: "I look at the plaque in the house, it is the name of the eldest brother and the name of the sister-in-law, which shows that the eldest brother has a deep affection for his sister-in-law." ”

Hearing her words, Jiang Man's expression eased a lot, and he turned into the shy appearance of the little woman again: "That was all before, and now he refuses to write like this." ”

Nalan Jinxiu finally understood why the third brother had such a tone when he talked about his sister-in-law in the morning. This person has changed once in a while, and the so-called one person with a thousand faces, which is probably the case.
