Chapter 40 Ji Ming proposed
Rong Hao nodded, "That's natural, Ji Ming has always been my good brother, if he hadn't come to Su Mansion with me this time, I'm afraid it would be me who was recruited." ”
Cuihua heard the voice of the prince, came in, put out the lights and candles, put down the curtains in the room, and withdrew, and the house fell into darkness.
"My people are already looking for that little girl everywhere, and I expect a response soon. Let's have a good rest, and Mrs. Ji will take Ji Ming to Su Mansion early tomorrow morning to ask for marriage. Rong Hao patted Su Xia, and the breathing of the two gradually became longer and evener. There was silence in the room.
Early the next morning, a lively sound woke up Su Fu.
Old Madam Ji took Ji Ming and dozens of boxes of dowry gifts and stopped at the gate of Su Mansion. Both of them were dressed in brocade clothes today, and the people under them carried red boxes with red silk tied on them. Su Xiang and Mrs. Hua enthusiastically ushered them into the lobby. Everyone greeted each other.
After taking her seats in turn, Su Jiaojiao also came out and sat down under Mrs. Hua. The girls served tea. Su Jiaojiao glanced at Ji Ming with shyness and resentment, just this glance, Ji Ming, a fool, almost fell again.
Mrs. Ji has always hated foxes the most, and seeing that Su Jiaojiao kept looking at her son, she put down the teacup, cleared her throat, and said to Su Xiang: "Xiangguo, the purpose of Lao Sheng and Ji Ming's coming must also be clear to you." We are here to marry the fifth lady of your house. My Ji Mansion never talks about concubines, a man only marries one lady, and the fifth lady of your family is the third lady of the Ji family when she enters our Ji Mansion. I don't know what happened to Su Xiangyi? ”
Su Xiang nodded, "My fifth daughter is the most honest and honest among the daughters. I'm glad she gets a good home. ”
Mrs. Hua also echoed, "Yes, yes, Xiao Wu doesn't speak on weekdays, she just does big things in a muffled voice, and if she can tie the knot with Commander Ji, we are happy for her." ”
Old Madam Ji glanced at Mrs. Hua, "Old Student originally wanted to wait for my general to come back and then bring Ji Ming to the door, but after this incident, he couldn't help but cut through the mess quickly, so he took the liberty of coming to the door." Now that we have invited the matchmaker, let's set the date soon. Today is the fourteenth, or the first wedding at the beginning of next month, my general has already handed over the fold to the saint, and he will rush back from the frontier in the near future, just in time for the big wedding ceremony, and he will definitely not lose the fifth lady of your family, Xiangye, you think it's okay? ”
Su Xiang couldn't ask for it, and at this time, the subordinates had already helped Su Wan out, and Su Wan had a silk scarf around her neck to cover the bruises of yesterday's hanging. I put rouge on my face, but I still feel that the whole person is unrefreshed.
When Old Madam Ji saw Su Wan coming out, she beckoned to her, "This is Miss Five, right?" Come on, come on, sit next to the old student. Let the old students take a good look at you. ”
The girl helped Su Wan and sat down beside Mrs. Ji. Old Madam Ji held Su Wan's hand and looked up and down, "Su Xiang, you really gave birth to a good girl." You see that these five young ladies have delicate faces, slender figures, and their eyebrows are very husband and wife with my family Ji Ming, I like this daughter-in-law. ”
Su Wan hadn't reacted yet, and the girl who helped her only said that the master wanted to see her, and did not say that the Ji family came to propose marriage. At this moment, looking at the bridal gifts in the court, my heart is still a little trance.
Mrs. Hua reminded: "Old Five, are you stupid? Why don't you hurry up and salute? In front of you is Mrs. Ji. ”
Su Wan hurriedly saluted when she heard this. Mrs. Ji helped her up, "It's okay, we will be a family in the future." My Ji family doesn't have so many rules and regulations, and when you come to my Ji family in the future, you will be the third lady of the Ji family, we are a family, don't talk about two families. ”
Su Jiaojiao never thought that Su Wan, a concubine, could justifiably marry into the Ji family as a wife, although the Ji family is not as rich and powerful as the Seventh Prince, but it is also a famous military general family in Beijing, and it is not bad to be able to marry into it and be a wife. She originally intended to keep Ji Ming as a spare tire, but she didn't expect her spare tire to be snatched by Su Wan to become a husband, and she was not in a good mood for a while. frequently threw blue eyes at Ji Ming.
Ji Ming was originally interested in Su Jiaojiao, and when he saw her peeking at himself so frequently, he couldn't help but look at her.
Mrs. Ji saw the clue at a glance, thinking that she had married into the Ji Mansion for so many years, General Ji had favored her alone, and she also had some real skills in her hands. Old Madam Ji paused for the teacup, turned to Su Xiang and said, "Su Xiang, is there a doctor in your house?" ”
Su Xiang was stunned by her question, "What, what discomfort does Old Madam Ji have?" I have a doctor in my house, so I'll let him show you. ”
Old Madam Ji shook her head, "I'm fine, it's just that your young lady has been looking at us, maybe there is something wrong with her eyes, or send the doctor to come up and show her eyes." ”
As soon as the call ended, a pin drop could be heard in the hall. No one has ever touched such a straightforward woman, and a direct call made Su Jiaojiao lose face, she covered her face and ran out of the lobby.
"Originally, Miss Fifth and my son were married, and what did she do when a concubine who had not left the cabinet came up. I've always heard that Mrs. Hua teaches her daughters well, and it turns out that she teaches her like this. "Mrs. Ji didn't give Mrs. Hua face at all, she was a fiery temper when she was in the boudoir, although she was a concubine, no one dared to provoke her easily, Mrs. Hua was also very scared of her, she said it openly and secretly, and she didn't dare to reply.
Ji Ming pleaded and shouted: "Mother, don't say it." The eldest lady is still in the boudoir, and it is not good for her to say this. ”
After a success, Su Xiang and Mrs. Hua left Ji Ming and Mrs. Ji for lunch.
In the small courtyard, Su Xia was sitting at the table and reading a book, and Cuihua was learning what happened in the lobby today, and her excited little face was flushed. "Miss, don't you know, it's the first time I've seen a woman like Mrs. Ji. It was really sonorous and powerful, and Mrs. Hua didn't have a chance to choke back, and her face turned blue with anger. ”
Su Xia smiled and raised his eyes, "Is there anything in the general's family that is not powerful?" General Ji has favored her alone for so many years, and he has never seen a family in the entire capital who has a head and a face who only marries one concubine, since this old lady Ji can do this, she must have her ability. She held the scroll in her hand, and the room was quiet and peaceful.
Cuihua then reported what she heard today, "In the lobby today, Mrs. Ji cares a lot about Miss Five. directly picked out that he liked Miss Five, who was honest and honest, and bluntly satirized the eldest lady and Mrs. It's really relieving. ”
Su Xia, as a concubine, can't go up to the front hall to listen to the elders at this time, so there is a live broadcast of Cuihua. After hearing this, she put down the scroll in her hand as if she knew it, "Oh? I thought that Mrs. Naji was a means-savvy, but I didn't expect it to be strong. She herself was born as a concubine, and she was bullied in her original mother's family, but now that she meets her fifth sister, she naturally feels sympathetic. It seems that the fifth sister is a fool and has a foolish blessing, and God favors her. ”
Cuihua picked up an apple on the table and peeled it for Su Xia, "No matter how blessed you are, Miss is not blessed, she is just married to a commander of the forbidden army, a family of military generals, and you will marry our seventh prince as a princess in the future, that is a noble lady." As he spoke, he shook the fruit knife in his hand proudly.
Looking at Cuihua's appearance of a fox and a fake tiger, Su Xia smiled and said, "Look at you, you came out of the palace and followed me, as if you were still following Rong Hao's legs." When it comes to the palace, he is so proud. It seems that I have to ask the prince to give you a raise. He took the peeled apple from Cuihua, ate it slowly, and put the book in his hand on the table.
I still feel uneasy in my heart, this person wants to plot against Rong Hao, if it weren't for Ji Ming and Su Wan being substitutes for the dead, then at this moment, Rong Hao would have to marry her Su Jiaojiao. The more I think about it, the more unbearable I become, I have to hurry up with Rong Hao to step up, these villains' methods are really unguardable, which makes people feel annoyed.
A few days later, the Su family entered a busy state.
The concubine Su Wan wants to marry into the Ji family as the third lady and marry as a concubine, Su Wan still can't believe it when she thinks about it. Originally, she thought that in this life, she would marry an ordinary family as a lady at most, or be married into a rich family by her mother and sister as a concubine, but she never thought that she could marry into General Ji's family as a wife. The mood has also improved, and I am no longer looking for death and life.
When Su Xia came to her yard, Su Wan was holding the embroidery stretch. The sky in the courtyard was just right, the sun was shining on Su Wan's body, her gentle neck was shining snow-white, her black hair hung down her shoulders, and the whole person was coated with a layer of brilliance by the sun.
She heard footsteps and looked up, "Sixth sister, you're here, come and help me take a look, my mandarin duck eyes can't be embroidered well." ”
Su Xia walked up to her and looked at her carefully. The embroidered flower was stretched with a piece of red silk, on which the pattern of the mandarin duck playing in the water was hooked, and a mandarin duck had been embroidered, but only the eyes had not been embroidered. Su Xia stretched out her hand and touched the silk surface, "The mandarin duck embroidered by the fifth sister is really beautiful, but if the eyes of this mandarin duck are not embroidered well, the whole picture will lose its brilliance." ”
Cuihua followed behind, Su Xia was average regardless of the original owner or her own embroidery level, but Cuihua was a master. Now the embroidery of many of Su Xia's clothes is from Cuihua's hand, she was originally born in the palace show, and was selected to be a big palace maid in the palace, and her skills come in handy at this moment.
Su Xia stood aside, Cuihua began to point at Su Wan, and after a while, a mandarin duck's eyes had been pierced, and it looked brilliant, as if it could really move.
Su Wan praised from the bottom of her heart: "Sixth sister, this maid beside you is really amazing. I dare to say that if she is called the second in this Su embroidery in Beijing, no one will dare to call it the first. ”
Cuihua smiled and saluted, and retreated behind Su Xia.
"Fifth sister, what are you embroidering this mandarin duck for?" Su Xia smiled and sat next to Su Wan, the flowers in the yard were blooming just right, it was a good time in the world.
Su Wan blushed slightly, the needle and thread in her hand stopped, and the roots of her ears also turned red, "My mother said that when she left the pavilion, the red hijab should be embroidered by herself, so that she can have a head and a tail, I am afraid that I will not be able to catch up, so I will take the embroidery every day." ”
Su Xia smiled, "Is there anything else to say?" What will I do when I leave the cabinet? I'm so bad at embroidery. ”
