Chapter 5: The Past

"Slave is not—" Cardamom froze for a moment, and the young lady was obviously smiling, how could she look so terrible.

"What's not?" Ji Wan asked rhetorically, "Don't you like to serve by your aunt's side?" ”

"Slave, slave......" Cardamom panicked and fell to her knees with a thud.

"The slave maid is devoted to the young lady, and only wants to serve the young lady for the rest of her life. Where the young lady is, the slave and maid are there, even if the young lady asks the slave and the maid to die, the slave and the maid do not hesitate for a minute. It's just that the young lady has always been close to Aunt Xu on weekdays, and the slave maid thinks ......"

Ji Wan sneered and laughed, and said softly: "Okay, what are you doing so nervously, let me tease you, I know that you are a good person, and I also understand my aunt's intentions, my body has improved now, and it just so happens that you will go to Wanyingju for me to pass a word, so that my aunt can rest assured, I think my aunt should be able to sleep peacefully when she is in a good mood." ”

Feeling good? Aunt Xu was afraid that she would vomit blood in anger, and she would only see the hell when she could sleep, Cardamom silently rolled her eyes in her heart, and her face was still chattering.

Ji Wan looked at her condescendingly, sneered constantly in his heart, and only called her up after a while, and his voice was extremely gentle: "Don't worry, you are the person my aunt sent me, I won't just let you go back." ”

Wouldn't it be too cheap for you to just let you go back?

Cardamom was a little weird when she heard it, but unfortunately the reason was that she couldn't think of it, she wiped her face with her sleeve, and looked at Ji Guan, who had a gentle and kind face, no different from usual, and had some doubts in her heart, could it be that my illusion just now.

After the meal, Ji Wan was supported by two maids to pace in the shade under the corridor, in the hot summer, the wind was also sulky, but Ji Wan didn't feel hot at all, only felt that the sun was shining, the smell of plants and trees was rich, and life was infinitely beautiful.

"On such a hot day, grandmother has a bitter summer, it must be a bad rest, Yan Bing, you go to the cabinet to find out the piece of water incense that your aunt rewarded you last time and send it to your grandmother, this incense has the effect of clearing the heart and calming the nerves, and it is very suitable for her old man." Ji Wan commanded, sighing.

In the previous life, after the death of her mother, the only one in the whole house who loved her was her grandmother.

In Ci'an Hall, sandalwood is curling.

An old woman dressed in a light brown ruyi pattern brocade with elastic ink and satin clothes reclined on the soft couch to rest, her gray hair was neatly combed, and she used a plain silver hairpin to form a round bun behind her head, and wore a one-color Eight Treasures Ruyi pattern on her forehead, exuding a low-key and simple, graceful and natural atmosphere. Ci's eyebrows and eyes were slightly closed, and the two little maids in blue shirts knelt on the cushions and gently shook their fans, and Mama Lin stood quietly aside.

Mama Lin's real name is Tan Yun, she is Mrs. Ji's dowry maid, and now she is also the housekeeper of Ci'an Hall, and she has won the trust and favor of the old lady.

Su Qiu walked in lightly and glanced at Mama Lin.

Mama Lin understood, turned around and walked out of the inner hall.

"What's disturbing?" Mama Lin frowned.

"Miss Yan Bing from Qiyun Yuan is here." Su Qiu replied, "The slave maid thought that the old lady might have something to ask, so she came to ask Mama. ”

"The old lady is resting at this moment, I'll go to Tongyu first, you can take her down for a cup of tea."

"Yes, slave and maid will go." Su Qiu's jaw retreated.

Xu is old and shallow, and when Mama Lin turns around, the old lady has woken up.

"What's the matter, Tan Yun." Old Madam Ji's eyes were clear.

"Old lady, Miss Yan Bing from Qiyunyuan is here, waiting outside at this time."

"Let her in." Mrs. Ji took the tea handed over by the maid and took a sip.

"The old lady is well." After saluting, Yan Bing lowered his head slightly and did not look at it.

"What's the matter, but the big girl woke up." Old Madam Ji's voice was calm and soft.

"Exactly, the eldest lady was worried about the old lady as soon as she woke up, and she couldn't come to visit the old lady in person, and she blamed herself very much, knowing that the old lady had the habit of bitter summer, and it was rare to rest, so she hurriedly sent this thing over to the slave maid." Yan Bing handed the thing to Mama Lin and said: "Miss said, this incense is called Qinshui, which has the effect of concentrating and calming the mind, and the queen mother in the palace is often used to help sleep, and the old lady will be able to sleep peacefully." ”

"This fragrance is very rare, the big girl has a heart, how is her body, can the doctor see it?" Old Madam Ji asked, her eyes full of love.

"Back to the old lady, the doctor has already come, the young lady's body is fine, but she is a little weak, and she will be fine for a while, but the injury on her forehead is slightly more serious, and she is still oozing blood."

"It shouldn't be, although the big girl's injury looks a little scary, it won't be bleeding outside for three days, which doctor is invited, but the medicine is applied on time." Old Madam Ji frowned slightly.

"The medicine is used on time every day, but it doesn't get better, and the doctor can't say why." Yan Bing's eyes were red, "It was the doctor in the house who showed it before, and today the doctors in the house are not idle, so the slave invited a doctor from Jishitang, and the doctor re-prescribed the ointment and prescription to the young lady." ”

"In that case, Miss will invite this doctor to come to the clinic in the future." Old man Ji listened to Yan Bing's reply, his face was a little ugly, how could he not understand the circles here after living for most of his life.

"This girl is also pitiful, you go back and tell her, I understand her intentions, let her recuperate with peace of mind, and don't rush to come over to say goodbye." Turning his head and saying to Mama Chen, "Ming'er, you sent the box of jade skin cream given by the palace last time to the big girl, this daughter's family is a petite, and it's not good to have a scar." ”

"The slave and maid thank the old lady for her love." Yan Bing knelt on the ground and kowtowed vigorously.

"Get up, you are faithful, go back and serve your young lady well." The old lady waved her hand, looking tired.

"Wronged!" In the silent courtyard, only Mrs. Ji and Mama Lin remained.

"Tan Yun, did you say I did something wrong?"

Mama Lin sighed.

Mrs. Ji was the daughter of a big official, when she was twelve years old, Mrs. Ji's father, Mrs. Chen, was disheartened, so she resigned and moved back to the old house in Linxian County, which coincided with her childhood friend Mrs. Ji, the two had not seen each other for many years but talked very happily, and the friendship was deeper than when she was young.

Mrs. Ji's life is also quite smooth, and she has a very close relationship with Mr. Ji, and the two only have one son, that is, Ji An.

Ji An has been talented, diligent and studious since he was a child, but at the age of fifteen, he was admitted to the fame, coupled with his handsome appearance, which attracted many girls to secretly vote.

Mrs. Ji's best friend Shen Yu was already the wife of Qin Xuanping, the Duke of Suguo, at that time, and the two had a deep relationship, and they often corresponded despite being separated from each other.

The Shen family has three sons and two daughters, and the eldest daughter was elected as a concubine in the palace, which is rare. There is only a little daughter left, the baby is very good, I don't want my daughter to marry into the high door again, so I want to find a reliable and understanding husband for my daughter, at first glance, I heard that my friend Mrs. Ji's only son Ji An is talented and good-looking, and he is already a talent and fame at a young age, so he was a little moved, thinking that he and Mrs. Ji are close friends in the boudoir, if it is for the daughter to set this family affair is not bad, low marriage has the benefit of low marriage, let the old man bring down his son-in-law in the future, as long as the young couple live a happy and smooth life, it is also a good thing.

Mrs. Ji is naturally happy to see it, although this family is high, but Mrs. Ji is really reluctant to refuse. The family education of the Suguo Mansion is very strict, although it is a family of military generals, but it is extremely concerned about the upbringing of children, if you can marry such a good wife for your son, you will be willing to die immediately.

However, Ji An and the daughter of Xu Ming, the county commander of Linxian County, secretly had affection for each other, Xu Ming's wife Bai often brought her little daughter Xu Ying to and from the Ji family, Xu Ying was delicate and lovely, and her sweet mouth often made Mrs. Ji laugh, Bai saw that Ji An was born with a talent, and his knowledge and appearance were outstanding, and the whole Linxian County could not pick out a better young man, so she made up her mind to make a match, Xu Ying was already in love with Ji An, and she was unhappy when she learned that her mother was mindful.

There were several hints in and out of the words, but Mrs. Ji just pretended to be confused and talked about him left and right, revealing that she was optimistic about Ji An.

Bai felt that Mrs. Ji didn't know how to lift, and she was angry that she had lost face, so she left with hatred and never came to the door again.
