After recuperating for more than half a month, Nalan Jinxiu's injuries gradually improved, so he moved back to Jifu. Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, the New Year of ordinary people is always difficult, so that there are more and more patients in the hospital, and most of them cannot afford to pay for the consultation.

Although Nalan Jinxiu's wounds have not completely healed and her movement is inconvenient, she still insists on going to the hospital every day. She always felt that it was not easy to live a new life, and it was better to do more good deeds.

The third brother is getting busier and busier, there are many things that need to be dealt with in the next year, and the saint wants to amnesty the world, and many cases in the criminal department need to be tried as appropriate, and they will be dealt with lightly. Change to someone else, hand it over to your subordinates, and fool it over. But he is serious, no matter how big or small the case is, he must know the ins and outs, and one person will be used for several people.

Sometimes in the middle of the night, he would go to the hospital to pick her up and take her home. Seeing that he was thin, Nalan Jinxiu was worried, and spent a lot of effort studying the stew. It is necessary to nourish the spirit and taste good, not too greasy, and not too many medicinal materials, one every day, seven days and one cycle.

Ji Xiaobai would come to pick it up on time at lunch every day, and would always tell her that there was less salt this time, or there was too much sugar last time, or the taste of a certain medicinal herb was too strong. She was carefully taught, and she changed little by little, and now she is a good soup. She even felt like she could go as a cook.

Today's dish is fish head soup with gastrodia and wolfberry. While staring at the fire, she wondered if she should bring the fish head to the third brother. He worked hard and used his brain excessively, and the fish head was the most brain-replenishing, but he was afraid that he would not eat the fish head.

Well, yes, third brother, picky eater, and very picky. This is something she only recently discovered.

Jixiang took the pu fan next to him and looked at the stove, Ruyi pushed the door in and said that the grandmother next to the old lady was here, and asked Nalan Jinxiu to go over, saying that he was helping the palm of his eyes.

"Are you looking at something?" she asked, puzzled.

"It should be!"

"Did you say what it was?"

"The slave doesn't know. ”

My grandmother usually doesn't care much about her, but if she sends someone to call her, there must be something. Nalan Jinxiu instructed Jixiang to take care of the stove and go to change clothes and makeup with Ruyi.

When I entered my grandmother's inner room, I heard a whispering and petty discussion, what is a low marriage, a white family...... It sounds like a family discussion, it must be the marriage of the fourth sister. I don't know if the object is still the Wupinlang Zhonglu Yuanan, if he is naturally very good.

When she entered the house, she heard Mrs. Ji say: "Shinong businessman, when it comes to lintel, we are not high, just matching." ”

"Old lady, you can't be confused! Our family now has a second-class member of the imperial court, and he is an old man at a young age, this is an authentic official house, and he has long been out of business. ”

"Ye'er is competitive, but we can't forget our roots. This Lu Yuan'an, I look very good, and he is in office under Ye'er, Xi'er will definitely not be angry when she marries. ”

Naturally, he didn't dare to give Xi Ya a bad feeling. It's just that women marry at a high level, so we also have a light on our faces, right?"

It was Ji Yang, Ji Yao's aunt who spoke. This person is the most unpopular with the old lady, and he is the kind of person who can suck blood. Since the death of the old man, the two families have been separated, but she relied on the long house and begged for a rich life in Mrs. Ji.

Mrs. Ji didn't speak, obviously not very happy, but Ji Yang didn't look at the level of his eyebrows, and was still saying: "This kid surnamed Lu has climbed high." In the future, Brother Ye looked at his sister's face, and he didn't have to promote him. It stands to reason that our current identity is that if we want to marry our daughter, we also have to marry a meritorious marquis's family, so why bother to cheapen him for nothing.

Old Madam Ji's face became more and more ugly, today it was the Lu family who came to the door to make a marriage, let her say this, what would Sister Xi think? Will she worry that her grandmother will treat her family affairs as child's play. What will other people think? He was afraid that she would secretly say that she valued her concubine and was inferior to her, and she would handle the marriage of her granddaughter at will.

Nalan Jinxiu and Mrs. Ji have always been close, and naturally they know what their grandmother thinks, so they smiled and said: "There is nothing high or not high, I think the lord's family may not be good." Although the grade of Wupinlang is not high, he also lives a wealthy life, and he does not have to worry about food and clothing. The fourth sister got married, isn't the husband and wife and beauty more important than anything else?"

Mrs. Ji stretched her eyebrows and said with a smile: "You still have the eyesight." ”

Ji Yunxi saw her coming, took her hand, and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "He will come later, grandmother will let me sit behind the screen and take a sneak peek, you can accompany me!"

The ladies in the room saw that the old lady had made up her mind, and it was difficult to talk about it. After gossiping like this for a while, when the Lu couple and Lu Yuanan came to the door, the big guys were all dispersed. Only Old Madam Ji, Nalan Jinxiu and Ji Yunxi remained.

"After a while, when people come, you two will sit behind the screen, and don't make a noise to be discovered. "Old Madam Ji instructed Nalan Jinxiu and Ji Yunxi.

The two of them sat behind the screen, Ji Yunxi nervously tightened the handkerchief in her hand, she wasn't worried that Lu Yuanan was not good, after all, Nalan Jinxiu had seen it for her. It's just that this person will be her husband soon, and she is really a little nervous when they meet for the first time.

Lu Yuanan came, a gentle and gentle scholar, with excellent facial features, Ji Yunxi felt that it was a little difficult for him to breathe. Grandmother asked some questions, and he was able to answer them fluently, very calmly.

"Grandmother, now that the family matter has been decided, I want to see Sister Xi. ”

Mrs. Ji hesitated, it stands to reason that you can't see each other before marriage. It's just that, after all, they are also people who want to get married, so it's not good to see their looks clearly on the day they get married!

"I knew it was a bit unreasonable, but I heard that she liked embroidery, so I brought her some rare silk threads from Suzhou and wanted to hand them over to her. ”

Mrs. Ji smiled with her eyebrows, feeling that her vision was really good, and she knew that she was thinking about it before she passed the door. If you marry in the future, it will naturally not be bad.

"You are going to get married after the year, and there are not many rules to talk about, you follow the little girl to the backyard garden and wait, I will let Sister Xi go over." ”

Lu Yuanan made a gesture to Mrs. Ji, and was taken to the backyard by the little maid. Ji Yunxi listened to his words, she was so nervous that she was about to faint, she dragged Nalan Jinxiu's hand, and said incoherently: "Sister, what should ......I do? He said he wanted to see me, am I dressed appropriately today? Is this okay, you can help me take a look. ”

Nalan Jinxiu couldn't help but smile and comforted her: "Fourth sister is very good like this, go quickly!"

"No, I'm nervous alone, or you can go with me!"

Nalan Jinxiu shook her head and refused: "How can this be done? ”

"But I, but I'm really scared. ”

Mrs. Ji looked at the house of her two youngest daughters, and couldn't help but think of the scene when she got married, and said with a smile: "You two go together, Jin'er, if you hide not far away when the time comes, you should help your fourth sister strengthen her courage." ”

Nalan Jinxiu had no choice but to agree. There was not much distance from Mrs. Ji's residence to the backyard garden, and Ji Yunxi's hands were sweaty all the way.

"Jin'er, do you think he will be dissatisfied with me?"

"Naturally not, if he is not satisfied, how can he marry you?"

"But he hasn't seen ......me after all," Ji Yunxi stopped talking.

"He even knows that you like embroidery, and he must know a lot about you. ”

Ji Yunxi was still worried in her heart, she had been looking forward to her future husband, but she really gave her such a good person, but she felt that she was not worthy.

After all, he is a fifth-grade official in the court, and she is just a concubine. Although relying on the third brother looks a little brighter, he has never been treated favorably in the Ji Mansion. Her birth mother was low and died young, she was not a talker, and she was not liked by her grandmother and father. He married her, but he was afraid that not only would it not be helpful to his political career, but even a decent dowry would not be much.

At this time, she suddenly envied Nalan Jinxiu, she was the daughter of the king of Zhenbei, and she was named the county lord at birth, even if she lived in the Ji family, who would dare to look down on her? It's really unfair and hurtful to come from this thing sometimes.

Seeing that Ji Yunxi didn't know what to think, Nalan Jinxiu saw the tall figure not far ahead, shook her arm and reminded: "Fourth sister, it's here, go over quickly!"

"You really don't go over with me?" Ji Yunxi still held her hand and refused to let go.

"I can't go with you, you go over, don't be afraid, I'll be waiting for you here. ”

Ji Yunxi had no choice but to turn around and walk towards Lu Yuanan step by step. He heard footsteps, the corners of his lips curled imperceptibly, and the moment he turned around, he stayed where he was.

This girl...... Who is this girl?

Ji Yunxi didn't know what was wrong with him, so she was stunned and looked at her in disbelief. She had no choice but to bow and say as calmly as possible: "Master Lu, Yun Xi is reasonable." ”

Lu Yuanan clenched his fists and was silent for a while before he said, "You are the fourth girl?"

"It's me. ”

He only felt something explode in his mind, and there was a white light in front of him. He frowned, the woman who hid behind the screen and peeked at him, laughed on a snowy day, and called the third brother of Lord Ji, wasn't she the fourth girl Ji?

He didn't believe it before, but since that day, he has never forgotten her, and the ghost has painted many portraits of her. If he can marry her, he is naturally willing, so the marriage will be done after the year.

He even thought that Master Ji loved his sister so much, and he must have taken a fancy to his character, so he was willing to marry her to him. He will treat her with all his heart in the future and never let her down.

Now that he has found that he has recognized the wrong person, but the family affairs have been decided, and the marriage will be completed in the next year, how can he regret his marriage? The consequences of regretting the marriage are also something he cannot afford now.

One is that he offended Master Ji, and Miss Ji Si should always be his own sister; second, he had already separated once, and if there is any problem in family affairs, it will inevitably lead to discussions; and third, he will ruin Miss Ji's reputation.
