Ji Hongye thought about it like this, and was naturally happy, took Nalan Jinxiu's hand and took him, and walked all the way to Mrs. Ji's courtyard. Nalan Jinxiu's steps were small, so he slowed down his steps and took care of her very much.

When Mrs. Ji saw the two of them, her eyelids raised slightly, and she didn't have too much expression on her face, so she only said calmly: "You're back?"

The room full of people making dumplings just now has all dispersed at this time. Mrs. Ji was drinking tea, and only Mama Guo was waiting next to her, but she looked a little deserted after the excitement.

Nalan Jinxiu took off her cloak and sat down next to Mrs. Ji, the maid brought hot tea, and she lowered her head and drank it. Old Madam Ji looked at Nalan Jinxiu, looking at it very carefully, and even a subtle smile appeared in her eyes.

Nalan Jinxiu didn't know what was wrong with her grandmother, what was staring at her. suddenly remembered that the third brother kissed her just now, and she only applied lipstick before going out...... All of a sudden, her cheeks were on fire, and she shook and almost knocked over the teacup.

Old Madam Ji couldn't help laughing, seeing that Nalan Jinxiu was so ashamed that her cheeks were about to be buried in the collar, she was ready to let her go. He only pretended to be surprised and said: "Your white hosta is very good, the original stone is of the highest quality, and the craftsmanship is better, I don't know where the craftsman made it?"

Nalan Jinxiu didn't know which skilled craftsman carved it, and only turned his eyes to Ji Hongye. Ji Hongye did not shy away from it, his demeanor was very natural, "It was made by the craftsmen in the palace at the invitation of the grandson." ”

Old Madam Ji nodded, "The craftsmanship in the palace is really good, you are attentive." ”

The old lady spoke with a pun, as if she was always insinuating something. Nalan Jinxiu didn't want to dwell on this issue anymore, so she quickly changed the topic: "Grandmother, when will we eat dumplings?"

"You gluttonous cat, you think about eating on weekdays, and wait, come to the front yard later to pass the meal. ”

Mrs. Ji's tone was doting, she loved her granddaughter very much. Seeing that the little girl is about to get married, but she is still like a child, Ben is also worried about her marriage, afraid that she will suffer if she marries someone else.

Now I see that the two children are in love, but I am completely relieved. She knows her grandson's character best, and Jin'er will definitely not suffer if she marries him. And kiss after kiss, she is satisfied with this family business.

"After eating dumplings for a while, I went back early to rest. Tomorrow morning, you will follow your father to worship heaven and earth, worship ancestors, and celebrate the birthday of the elders, and take the juniors out to play, I am afraid it will take a long time. Old Madam Ji said to Ji Hongye.

"My grandchildren know that I am familiar with the road over the years, so my grandmother should not worry. ”

Mrs. Ji looked at him appreciatively, Ji Yao was the head of the family, but as Ye'er got older, he was happy to be idle and pushed all this red tape to his son. Fortunately, Ji Hongye has been doing things steadily since he was a child, and he has never made any mistakes over the years, which is very reassuring.

"The 10th to 16th day of the first lunar month is the day to enjoy the lanterns, if you young people like it, you may wish to make some of your own to play, and the 15th Lantern Festival will be lit on the day. ”

Nalan Jinxiu thinks it's very good, but her hands are not skillful, and the lanterns she has always made are ugly. Even so, it can't erase her passion for making lanterns. She winked at Ji Hongye, and he raised his eyebrows to look at her pretending not to know.

Nalan Jinxiu knew that the third brother was deliberate, so he folded his hands and bowed to him like a bodhisattva. The latter knew what she was planning in her heart, and wanted to tease her, but he didn't admit that he wanted to be teased by her, and the corners of his mouth were silent.

She understood that the third brother had agreed.

Mrs. Ji didn't know about the little Jiujiu between the little couples. On the night of the 16th, the women of Jinling City would go on a night tour to pray for a good year in the new year.

In the past, the old lady took the lead in person, but this year she didn't plan to go, the older she gets, many things are beyond her power. The old lady felt that Nalan Jinxiu had acted steadily for more than half a year, so she wanted to entrust this matter to her.

She is young, and no one takes her in the eyes of the unconscious aunts in the backyard. Take this opportunity to let others understand her position in the Ji Mansion, and they will not dare to offend her at will in the future. While she is still in charge of the old woman, help her cook the back house properly, so as not to have a restless house.

Originally, there was no urgency in this matter, but now that she and Ye'er are in love, she doesn't plan to delay any longer. His grandson is now completely at the top of his heart, and he must not be able to wait long, and he will probably marry after next year.

It's okay to do this, and she has two things on her mind at once.

In the past, although she wanted to kiss and kiss, but after all, the identities of the two families were very different, and Ye'er really didn't like Jin'er, so she didn't force it too much. Now the situation is different, Ye'er is young and promising, and her official residence is second-class, even the princess is worthy of it.

King Zhenbei was a pure and filial person, and she saw that the two children were in love, so she repaired a book to him and asked him what he meant. Her uncle is a general on the battlefield, and with the heroism of a military general, he happily agreed.

Jin'er has seen all the changes in her eyes in the past year, with good conduct, strict self-discipline, and leniency towards others. It's a character who can be a backyard housewife.。 The more Mrs. Ji looked at Nalan Jinxiu now, the more she liked it, so she took her hand and said intimately: "Jin'er, do you know that on the day of the lantern, women have to go out?"

Nalan Jinxiu nodded, she remembered that she couldn't light the lamp, she had to feel the darkness from the house to the city gate, if she could find the door nail, it would be a good omen. This custom has been passed down for a hundred years, and even the royal women have to go through the motions in the palace on the night of the sixteenth.

Earlier in Taifu's Mansion, Daddy took pity on A-Niang for being afraid of the dark, and she was young, so she found a grandmother and maid in the house to replace her. Now my grandmother told her so, but did she want to go too?

Actually, she didn't really want to go.

There would be a lot of people that day, and the lights were not allowed, and it was pitch black. Although there were officers and soldiers under martial law in some places, and there were women walking on the streets, she still didn't like the atmosphere.

"My grandmother used to think that you were still young and reluctant to let you suffer this hardship, but now that you have grown up, you should also go through the experience. ”

When my grandmother said this, Nalan Jinxiu was not easy to refuse, thinking that it would be enough to follow everyone when the time came. But I heard Mrs. Ji say again: "We are also the home of the official eunuch now, but none of these aunts in the backyard are knowledgeable." Whoever takes the lead in 'walking away from all diseases', others will not be happy, and when they come back, they will always fight openly and secretly. ”

Nalan Jinxiu became more and more unaware of what her grandmother thought. It's not a day or two for the backyard aunts to compete for favor, and everyone is like a mirror in their hearts. Because I feel disgraceful, I never talk about it on the surface. At this time, saying this in front of him and the third brother must have ulterior motives.

Old Madam Ji quickly answered her doubts, and said calmly: "I want you to take the lead." ”

"Me?" Nalan Jinxiu asked uncertainly, and Ji Hongye also looked at Old Madam Ji, waiting for the following.

"Yes, that's you. ”

"But I'm not a girl from the Ji family after all, how can I represent the Ji family?" Besides, there are so many aunts in the house, all of them are eyeing each other, Nalan Jinxiu really doesn't want to go through this troubled water.

"You have always been by my side, and in the future, you will also stay in the Ji family. ”

"I ......"

"Why?

Nalan Jinxiu was stunned by Mrs. Ji's question, and replied that she was unwilling, afraid that the third brother would think too much. Answer yes, this is an elder's question, and you need to be cautious.

Marriage matters pay attention to the life of her parents, and the words of the matchmaker, although she is a wisp of soul that is reborn, she has only had a relationship with the king of Zhenbei. But after all, he is Xu Jinsheng's father, and he still needs his consent to the marriage event.

Ji Hongye saw that she didn't know what to do, and turned his eyes to Mrs. Ji: "Grandmother, Ah Jin is young, don't let her go." ”

Old Madam Ji sighed and said leisurely: "Your mother went early, none of these aunts in the courtyard have a good temperament, and they are not easy to get along with." You have to be busy with outside affairs, and your grandmother is old, so she can't always protect her for you. She is not young, she can get married next year, and some things should be considered. ”

Nalan Jinxiu understood her grandmother's extraneous voice. She will marry the third brother in the future, and as the eldest daughter-in-law of the Ji Mansion, she must suppress the unhealthy trends in the house. The person who presides over the feed in the backyard must be convinced by everyone and dare not make trouble.

But when my grandmother said that it would be the next year, she felt that it was a little too early. After all, she will only be in the year of Ji Lu next year, and it is okay to discuss marriage a year or two later. Merely...... The third brother's marriage can't wait any longer.

With his current age and status, the court will not let him not marry. Maybe he is coveted now, and there should be many people who want to stuff his daughter and sister into him.

Since she decided to be with the third brother, even if it can't help him, she shouldn't be a burden to him. Anyway, sooner or later, you have to face it, so it's better to start early.

When I think about it, I think my grandmother is right. In her last life, she was too well protected by her father and mother, and it was not until the decline of the Taifu Mansion and the death of her that she realized that she had never planned for the future.

Before she got married, she relied on her parents wholeheartedly, and after she got married, she relied on Zong Xuanyi wholeheartedly. In this life, she can't repeat the mistakes of the past, and she must do something for herself and those close to her.

"Grandmother naturally has my reasons for arranging this, and I have already proposed marriage to your father a few days ago, and he agreed. ”

Nalan Jinxiu was startled by the old lady's words, she got up from her chair and paced back and forth. Secretly said: I didn't expect King Zhenbei to be so strange, in my memory, he probably hasn't come to see Xu Jinsheng for four or five years, and now he hasn't even asked me about marriage, he, is he not going to want me?

It doesn't matter if he doesn't want me, anyway, he's not my father, it's better without him. Save me from worrying about his safety, Zhenbei Wangfu is remembered by Zong Xuanyi, you are ruthless and ruthless, whoever stands in his way will not end well.
