Chapter 12 Master Ji begs for a dowry
Zhen Xuan made up her mind to go back to the women's school in the next few days, she was sick a lot this month, and the women's school didn't go for a few days. Although she basically understands what her husband teaches, she is still willing to join in the fun and talk to a few sisters. After class, I can also go to the long room, and go to Sun's to learn more according to Mrs. Li's teaching.
The heavy rain for days disrupted her plan, the rain fell much more fiercely than a while ago, and there was no light all day after dark, and the drainage of Qing'an Hall was good and could not stop the rain, and there was water in several places.
Mama Qin was busy beckoning the people to clean up, and the words "Amitabha" kept saying: "There are already many people in the temple who have been affected by the disaster, and the rain has been falling like this, and this year's harvest is afraid that it will be over." ”
Zhen Xuan felt very uncomfortable, and always felt that something would happen, but she didn't know for a while, so she could only spend the day with anxiety.
But in four or five days, someone came to report that the Ji family had come.
Mrs. Li was not very happy when she heard this, but looking at this day, it must not be a trivial matter to come in such a heavy rain, and when she saw Ji's sad face on the side, she had no choice but to say: "Let's take people to Qing'an Hall first, such a heavy rain, we won't rush to the front." ”
After waiting for an hour, the carriage stopped outside, and the Ji family's little servant took an umbrella and welcomed Master Ji down.
Zhen Xuan didn't know if the real Zhen Xuan had seen Master Ji, but it was the first time she had seen her, and she only looked at the slightly chubby man in front of him, he was in a hurry, his face was not clean, he couldn't hide his exhaustion, and his clothes were wet in a few places, looking a little embarrassed.
Ji's eyes turned red all of a sudden, just because her mother-in-law was beside her, she couldn't meet it, and she couldn't bear to sit with doubts and puzzles in her heart.
Mrs. Li was also a little surprised, she was still a spirited man when she saw this old man in the early years, although she came in a hurry for days, it was not like today.
After Master Ji saluted, Mrs. Li opened her mouth coldly: "With such a heavy rain, why did my uncle come, the old woman thought that you would never set foot in the door of our Pei family for the rest of your life." ”
Master Ji's face was pale, he was worried about his sister-in-law back then, but he didn't expect that to end, in the end, I was sorry for Mrs. Li, and besides, I came here with a request, where did I dare to say more than half a sentence, and only said "ashamed and ashamed".
Seeing that Mrs. Li pouted her face and didn't want to say any more, Ji stepped forward to help Master Ji and said, "Why did the eldest brother come here at this time, the rain is so heavy, how can the sister-in-law let you come." ”
As soon as he said this, Master Ji's face was even more gloomy, and he sighed: "If it wasn't really for the help, I wouldn't come." ”
"What do you say about it, big brother?" Ji was anxious to ask.
"Uncle." Zhen Xuan took care of Mrs. Li, knowing that they had been incompatible for many years, and was afraid that Master Ji's words would make her grandmother angry, so she hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, but also blocked the conversation, "Uncle is in a hurry, and his clothes are wet, so my mother should let my uncle change into clean clothes." ”
Master Ji looked at Zhen Xuan carefully, and only said in a half-loud voice: "This is Sister Xuan, they are all so old, uncle is really ......"
Ji Shi pulled Master Ji down, beckoned someone to get some clean clothes in the car, and took Master Ji to Zhenheng yard to tidy up.
Old Mrs. Li didn't speak since just now, and looked at the things in this room with cold eyes.
Mama Qin knew her thoughts, and said in a low voice: "My uncle's family was also beautiful, although he has long been no longer an official in the court, the shop in his hand has a lot of land, and his life has been rich. But now I can see ......"
"It's inevitable." Mrs. Li was also a little embarrassed, "Their Ji family's industry is basically in Shaozhou City next door, which is the most flooded place, and the fields and properties cannot escape the disaster. What did you say when you came a few years ago, saying that you want to bring people back, you must not let such a young girl stay widowed for a lifetime, the Ji family has a thick foundation, and she is not afraid that she will not be able to raise a girl. Hum. ”
Zhen Xuan listened from the sidelines, and could see that Master Ji came with a request, although she didn't know what it was for, it should be important to think about it, she was afraid that Mrs. Li would refuse Master Ji's request because of the anger in her heart, and even embarrassed Ji, so she sat down next to Mrs. Li and said, "Grandmother, my mother didn't leave at the beginning, and she won't leave us alone." ”
Mrs. Li felt distressed and thoughtful, so she hurriedly hugged her and said, "Grandmother knows how to go." ”
For Master Ji, Zhen Xuan really admires it, she has heard about the events of the year. After her father, the fourteenth master, passed away, Master Ji wanted to take Ji back, unwilling to watch his sister suffer, but he didn't expect that Ji's miscarriage, which was not what Master Ji wanted, could only be said to be a trick of fate.
Zhen Xuan has been married in the past, and she knows what it means to have a mother's family that she can rely on, especially when a married woman has reached the point of widowhood, and her mother's family can still seek a future for her despite the criticism of the world, this alone makes Zhen Xuan envious.
My uncle was really kind to my mother......
Zhen Xuan leaned on Mrs. Li, recalling these past events, thinking of the things that would be put on the table later, but she was worried and thinking about what to do.
Before Zhen Xuan could think about it, Ji Shi came back with Master Ji, and Ji Shi had red eyes, as if he had cried.
Master Ji saluted again, and on the way here, he typed a few drafts, and thought about how to talk to Mrs. Li, but when he entered Qing'an Hall just now, he felt that there were many fewer slaves here, and he felt even more lonely when he went to change clothes.
Thinking of this, I felt that it was difficult to open my mouth, but I remembered the purpose of coming in the rain for days, so I could only look at Zhen Xuan, who was sitting next to Mrs. Li, and was ruthless: "Old lady, in the past few years of natural disasters, the family was able to open a porridge shop for disaster relief in the first two years, but it was not possible last year." My eldest sister has already been married, and she is about to leave the cabinet in a few months, but this marriage is really ...... Zhuangzi was affected by the disaster, and I, who was a father, really couldn't give it to my eldest sister, so I came to find my sister, and I thought that my sister was going to marry to Yongzhou, and the Zhuangzi was also bought on the edge of Yongzhou, and the disaster was not serious. ”
"I've lived a long time, but I've never seen a girl ask for a dowry." Mrs. Li had already guessed Master Ji's intention, but when she heard them say it directly, she couldn't hold back the anger in her heart, "Don't say those faceless villains, no one in a big family has ever had such a thing." ”
Master Ji knew that Mrs. Li was afraid that she was still complaining that she said that the Ji family was a big family, but she couldn't refute her, and she didn't know what to say for a while.
Mrs. Li continued: "Where is your eldest sister going to marry, Zhuangzi in Yongzhou is not far from Shaozhou City, and it is not close at all. ”
"It's also from Shaozhou City, and I climbed the Mu family, and the three sons of the Mu family." Master Ji replied.
