After Nalan Jinxiu became Xu Jinsheng, although she was trying her best to repair the relationship with the Ji family, the sisters of the Ji family still did not mince words about her. Now, the only one who is kind to her and willing to be close to her is Ji Yunxi, the fourth lady who is a concubine.

Ji Yunxi is three years older than Xu Jinsheng, introverted and steady, and does not like to talk much. And because of her mother's low background and early death, she looks ahead and backward in everything she does, and she looks too kind, and she is easier to bully than other young ladies.

There are rare things in the house, and it is always someone else who picks the rest before it is her turn. Some minions who worship high and low, and have a little power in their hands, will pinch her in the supply of goods.

If she doesn't speak, others will take advantage of her. Fortunately, she has an open temperament and never cares about these little things. I was bored in the house all day long, and I came out occasionally, that is, I went to Nalan Jinxiu to sit for a while.

On this day, too, at noon, Nalan Jinxiu was serving medicinal herbs in the newly built greenhouse, and I heard Ruyi say that the fourth lady had arrived. She got up and cleaned her hands, put on balm again, and when she went out, she saw Ji Yunxi standing in the courtyard with her personal maid Xiao'e.

"Fourth sister, why do you have time to come over today?"

"You gave me material yesterday, and today I came to thank you for the gift. Ji Yunxi smiled like a flower, although she was not born extremely beautiful, but her quiet and virtuous appearance was also very lovely.

Nalan Jinxiu saw the appearance of the fourth sister, and always wanted to bully her, "If I give you something, you have to return it, do you have to see me like this?"

Ji Yunxi smiled gently, looking very pure: "You know that I didn't mean that." ”

Nalan Jinxiu walked up to her and took her hand, and Pippi said, "Then what do you mean!"

Ji Yunxi was amused by her, took out the purse she had embroidered by herself and handed it to her, "You take a look at this first, do you like it or not?"

Nalan Jinxiu took the purse and put it in the palm of his hand to look at it carefully. The purse is made of Shu brocade, the workmanship is exquisite, the white bottom and the emerald green bamboo pattern, fresh and good-looking.

She likes bamboo, likes its integrity, he rubs it with his fingers, and is very happy: "Fourth sister, your bamboo embroidery is excellent, and it looks like a wind." ”

"I usually make things for women, embroidered flowers, and try to embroider when you like green bamboo. Speaking of which, this is the first time to embroider the green bamboo pattern, I think it can be better to embroider a few more times, but the first embroidery is more meaningful. ”

"Yes, yes, I think it's memorable. The fourth sister is really smart, and she can embroider so well the first time, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with it even if I practice for a lifetime. ”

Ji Yunxi thought of her embroidery, covered her lips and smiled: "You can't embroider, just be able to paint." ”

"I'm not good at drawing. ”

"This pattern on your purse is embroidered on the green bamboo you drawn. ”

Nalan Jinxiu was stunned, she knew her painting level. After thinking about it for a while, she remembered that the third brother had taught her to draw bamboo before, and he may have left it behind!

"Sister Jin'er is busy, if there is nothing to do, why don't you accompany me to your medicine garden. ”

Nalan Jinxiu took Ji Yunxi's hand and walked towards the medicine garden, "I didn't expect you to be interested in medicinal herbs as well." ”

When I entered the medicine garden, I felt a warm breath rushing towards me, which was completely different from the coldness of the outside world. Ji Yunxi didn't speak, until there were only the two of them left, she held Nalan Jinxiu's hand tightly and whispered: "I am sixteen years old, and I have already reached the age of marriage, and my grandmother has shown me a good marriage." ”

According to Ning Law, a woman can marry when she is fifteen, and Nalan Jinxiu was fifteen years old when she married Zong Xuanyi in her last life. And Ji Yun's sixteen years old is a good age to discuss relatives, and it is not good to delay it any longer.

Nalan Jinxiu is worried about whether she can find a good son-in-law. Ningguo's patriarchal trend is very serious, and if it weren't for the young lady, the marriage would not be taken seriously.

Don't say choose your sweetheart, I'm afraid I haven't even met before I get married. If you marry someone else's family alone at a young age, if your husband's family is good, it will be fine, and if the door style is not good, then you will definitely be bullied.

The fourth sister is a concubine, and there have always been only two ways for a concubine to marry a woman, either to be a concubine or to marry someone with the same concubine status. The kind of people who can be the head of the house and the mother of the house are most likely to marry, that is, to find a reputation and status that is not as good as their own family.

Nalan Jinxiu felt that neither of them was suitable for the fourth sister. She is gentle and kind by nature, and she is generous to others, and she must find an excellent family to be worthy of her conduct. It's just that it's harder.

Ji Yunxi was a person who had no idea, and came to Nalan Jinxiu in the hope that she could plan for herself. Seeing that she had been in a daze, he said again, "What do you think?"

"Do you know which son your grandmother showed you?"

"I don't know which one it is, I only know that his name is Lu Yuanan. ”

"Is it an official?"

"It seems to be ......"

Looking at Ji Yunxi like this, Nalan Jinxiu knew that she knew very little about other people. If it is an official, it would be good, let the third brother send someone to inquire, and he will know the truth at a moment's notice.

"Fourth sister, you go back first. I'll ask someone secretly to see if I can find out. ”

Ji Yunxi nodded, but she was nervous in her heart. It doesn't matter if she has a good background or not, what she cares about is that person's temperament. If you have a bad temper and get married, most of the times will be difficult.

Nalan Jinxiu wondered if she could see the third brother tonight, she hadn't seen Ji Hongye for more than half a month. He sent the coachman Ji Xiaobai to her, who was responsible for picking her up and protecting her. She excused herself, he only said that the night market was mixed with dragons and snakes, and she and Lin Yu were not safe.

In the past half a month, she has asked Ji Xiaobai almost every two or three days what the third brother is doing. Ji Xiaobai said that the young master was a new official and was very busy. But the fourth sister can't delay this matter, if that person is not good, she can easily push it while she hasn't booked it yet. If it is engaged, how can it be so easy to regret the marriage?

I went to the hospital at night, and I didn't see Ji Hongye. Ji Xiaobai still poked out of the door like wood as usual. Nalan Jinxiu took advantage of the absence of illness and went over to ask him: "I have something to do with the third brother, can I see it?"

Ji Xiaobai wanted to say that there was too much backlog of cases in the Criminal Department, and the young master was busy all day long, and he didn't even have time to rest. I'm afraid it's late at night today, and if you want to see him, will he not even have time to sleep?

But he didn't dare, he knew that the young master cared about her, otherwise he wouldn't have sent him for her call. He has been following the young master for many years, and the young master of his family is a fairy-like character, and there are many girls who like him, and he doesn't lie to anyone.

It's just such a wild girl who doesn't have the demeanor of a young lady at all, and she dresses up as a man and shows her face outside, and his young master protects her like a jewel, and her eyes are like beads. He didn't want to come, so the young master punished him for sweeping the garden for a day, and he felt awkward in his heart.

Nalan Jinxiu saw that Ji Xiaobai didn't reply again, and was a little unhappy. This man has always been like this, and if you ask him three sentences, you may be able to reply to the previous one. She didn't know that Ji Xiaobai was like this, except for being agile, she had to do everything a few beats slower than others.

Ji Xiaobai frowned when he saw her, as if he was not very happy, and frowned. He knew that although she was a bit of a fool, she was a good person, who could heal and save people, unlike the young ladies of the family he had seen before. Moreover, the young master told him not to make her unhappy, if she was displeased, he must coax her to laugh......

Ji Xiaobai's lips moved, and he said slowly: "Young Master wants to see an important person today, it may be very late. ”

Nalan Jinxiu was silent for a moment, "Then I'll write a letter, and you can bring it back to the third brother." Then he turned and went into the house.

Ji Xiaobai poked at the door and was still thinking, the girl was unhappy just now! He didn't seem to have coaxed her yet, would the young master be unhappy when he found out? He struggled with himself for a while, and decided that he still had to tell the young master truthfully when he went back at night, and he couldn't hide it.
