Chapter 21: The Ji Family Sisters
Zhen Xuan lowered her head slightly, these things, she was not persuaded by a girl's family, and she was not persuaded by a girl, so she had to start another topic and said, "What about cousins?" I haven't seen it yet. β
Jin glanced at Zhen Xuan gratefully, remembered that several brothers and sisters were not polite, and said: "It is inconvenient for the eldest sister to come to the front, the second sister is in the house to accompany her, and the younger brother has gone to the shop and will be back in a while." Let's go to the eldest sister together. β
After Jin finished speaking, she was about to call Zhen Heng, but when she saw him shaking his head and reciting the book, she glanced at Master Ji in surprise, and saw that the other party listened carefully, so she couldn't help but smile and shook her head and said: "Master, you are really, Brother Heng has just arrived, and before you can speak, you have taken the homework first." β
Zhen Heng was young, and he answered a few questions clearly and thoroughly, and Master Ji was full of joy. Ji's scholars in the past dynasties, although they are businessmen and gentlemen, they also value culture, so they are very satisfied with Zhenheng's knowledge.
"Brother Heng is smart, I think he has a great future." Master Ji stroked his palm and smiled, "My uncle looks at his nephew, and the more he looks at it, the more he likes it." β
Jin glanced at Master Ji with a sneer, and said to Zhen Xuan: "Ignore them, let's go to the backyard." β
Zhen Heng has the ability, Zhen Xuan is very happy, so he didn't disturb them, followed the Jin family, went out of the hall and passed through a round door, and went to the backyard.
There should be green trees in the second gate, but there is no natural disaster, and the scenery is not good at this time. It's just that this is where the Ji family has lived since childhood, and Zhen Xuan takes it very seriously.
Yu Hui's courtyard is in the east, and I saw it when I bypassed the verandah, and there was no maid standing outside the door, Jin led Zhen Xuan in, and when she arrived outside the main house, there was a little maid who smiled and said goodbye.
"Eldest sister and second sister, come and see, Sister Xuan is here."
As soon as Jin's voice fell, one of the people inside opened the curtain and poked his head out, saying, "Cousin is here?" β
As soon as her cousin spoke, Zhen Xuan knew that this person was Yu Cong.
Yu Cong has thick eyebrows and big eyes, she is also nine years old, but she is much taller than Zhen Xuan, and she looks more like her sister.
Yu Cong hurriedly called "Mother", and before she could salute Zhen Xuan, she pulled her into the house and pushed her in front of the woman who was sitting on the embroidery pier embroidering: "Sister, cousin is here." β
is different from Yu Cong, Yu Hui is smaller, and even her facial features are small, which is very exquisite.
Zhen Xuan saluted and called "big cousin".
Yu Hui put down the embroidery bandage in his hand, got up and saluted back, and glared at Yu Cong with a smile: "There are no rules, look at Sister Xuan, and then look at yourself, you are not ashamed." β
Yu Congnunu mouthed, turned her head to see that Jin also looked at her, and saluted unwillingly, then rubbed into Jin's arms and said, "Mother, my sister bullied me." β
When Jin heard this, he scolded with a smile: "You little girl doesn't know what to do, your sister is bullying you like this?" Hurry up, while there are still a few days, let her bully and bully you more, and bully you well, I will be relieved. β
Getting along like this, Zhen Xuan looked at her with envy, in addition to envy, her heart was also much softer all of a sudden, she thought of Ji's, didn't her mother treat her like this? She still remembers that when she first woke up, Ji Shi hugged her in her arms, comforting and narrating, and she was also loving to the bottom of her heart.
Over there, Yu Cong and the Jin family were coquettish, Yu Hui quietly pulled Zhenxuan's hand and said in a low voice: "Xie Lu Xie." β
Zhen Xuan was stunned, and reacted to what Yu Hui said, she raised her eyes to look, and saw that the person's eyes were sincere, and her heart tightened, knowing that any polite words were superfluous, so she only smiled and responded.
The dowry had been sent to the Mu family a few days ago, because the family was not enough, it was inevitable that there were some old things in Shili, which should have been brand new, which were all used by Yu Hui on weekdays, and at this time, the boudoir naturally seemed empty.
Zhen Xuan saw it in her eyes, and she couldn't say it clearly, so she just turned her head to look at what Yu Hui was embroidering just now: "Sister is embroidering pillow covers?" β
When Yu Hui heard this, he picked up the embroidery shed and blushed slightly, and responded softly: "I'm in a hurry, it's almost ready." β
Zhen Xuan leaned over to look, and saw a pair of mandarin ducks carefully embroidered on the big red face, especially the mandarin duck wings, which were put on one by one, looking very vibrant.
Zhen Xuan already likes embroidery, and her embroidery skills are also top-notch among the girls in the Pei family, but compared to Yu Hui at this time, she is ashamed of herself: "My cousin's embroidery skills are really good." β
Yu Hui smiled shyly, said a few words modestly, and then asked the maids to come in for tea.
Yu Cong pulled Jin over, handed the tea bowl to Jin's hand, glanced at Yu Hui, and said: "Cousin Xuan, my sister's embroidery skills are famous among our Miss Shaozhou City, and my brother-in-law is also the favorite of my sister's embroidery patterns." β
"Little Nizi is dead." Yu Hui blushed and was about to catch Yu Cong, but Yu Cong smiled and hid behind Jin, she could only glare at Yu Cong, "You will laugh at me, what brother-in-law......" The more she spoke, the softer her voice became.
Jin laughed loudly, raised his hand and poked Yu Cong's nose: "I know that your sister is thin-skinned, and you still provoke her." β
Yu Cong knew that the Jin family and Yu Hui would not really be angry, so he smiled widely, took Zhen Xuan's hand, and said, "Cousin Xuan, let me tell you about my brother-in-law." β
Yu Hui knew Yu Cong's mouth best, and the more she didn't let her say it, the more she liked to say it, so she turned her back and ignored it, and only lowered her head to embroider mandarin ducks.
Yu Cong talked back and forth, and Zhen Xuan understood the doorway inside.
Yu Hui's in-law is the second room of the Mu family, as Mama Qin said, the long and third rooms of the Mu family are out of Beijing, and they have lived in the capital for many years, and there are only a few female dependents in Shaozhou, and although there is no official name in the second room, there is a girl who married into the Yongliang Wangfu and became the younger sister-in-law of the Yongliang King.
Such a family could not have been in contact with the Ji family, but this family affair was set ten years ago, at that time, the Mu family had not yet left Beijing, and the girl had not yet entered the palace, the Ji family had just entered the Pei family, and became the wife of the promising fourteenth master, and the eldest master of the Pei family had just gained a firm foothold in the capital.
The marriage of the two Mu Ji families, when it comes to the root, it was the Mu family who wanted to have a relationship with the Ji Pei family, so they asked for the third son to marry Yu Hui, who was only six years old at the time.
It's just that people are not as good as heaven, the two masters of the Mu family are very competitive to become Beijing officials, and there is a girl who entered the palace, but the Ji family withdrew from the officialdom and devoted themselves to being businessmen, which is even more regrettable, the fourteenth master of the Pei family died young, and the Ji Pei family turned their faces because of this.
The third son of the eldest son is five among the brothers, and the marriage between Yu Hui and Mu Wuye has long been engaged, that is, some people in the Mu family want to regret it, and it is not easy to withdraw from the marriage for a while, but seeing Yu Hui Hui, he always has to give the Ji family an explanation.
It's also a coincidence, Mu Wuye inadvertently picked up a purse, was attracted by the embroidered green bamboo, and after a few inquiries, he learned that it came from his fiancΓ©e.
Mu Wuye moved his own mind, even if there were a few unhappy people in the Mu family, it was not easy to interfere, and the aunt and grandmother in the Yongliang Mansion spoke, saying that Miss Ji was not at fault, how could she love the power and withdraw from her family, and it was rumored that Lu had no face to go to the Mu family, so this marriage was put on the table again.
