The ancestors of the Ji family are not a famous family, but they were born in cold clothes, only because of their hard reading of poetry and books, high school champions and involved in officialdom, and married the daughter of the prime minister of the dynasty.

The current head of the Ji family is Ji Guanying, who is Ji Shuning's elder brother, although he is not as successful as his grandfather, but his arrogance is far better than his grandfather.

Old lady Ji was cautious all his life, even if he assisted the first emperor from the crown prince to the emperor, he never showed a trace of arrogance and arrogance, and always had a humble and polite attitude towards anyone, which is also what the first emperor respected him the most.

And Ji Guanying, relying on his voice and relying on his name, realized that his ancestors had been emperors, and he had the merits of the dragon, arrogant and arrogant, and no one in his eyes, even more, once at the court meeting because he was impeached by the imperial history, he actually waved his hand to the fist.

The saint was furious, but he remembered his grandfather, and he was punished lightly, only fined for a year, not wanting to encourage his arrogance, and since then he has been even more arrogant.

The Holy One was greatly dissatisfied with this, and his favor gradually faded, but he did not think so.

Ji Guanying has three boys and five girls under his knees, except for one boy and two girls born in the main house, the rest are born to concubines.

The son-in-law's name is outstanding, twenty one, inheriting his father's nature, arrogant, wanton, and infected with the vice of eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling at a young age.

Every time he came to Hua's house, Hua Jintang didn't allow his daughters to come forward, and treated him like a wolf, for fear that the little sheep he had carefully raised would be taken away by him.

There are also two concubines, one is eighteen years old, married away from home last year, and the other is two years younger, with a single name and the word "Yun".

Today, Ji Guanying's wife Lan took her little daughter to the house, and Ji passed the word to all the girls to come to the meeting.

It is said that nieces are like aunts, and Ji Yun's eyebrows are indeed a little similar to Ji's, especially when she smiles, even the curvature of the corners of her mouth is exactly the same. If you pull her and Wanniang out and see, people who don't know will still think she is the daughter of the Ji family.

Jiao Niang didn't have a deep impression of Ji Yun, she only remembered that her appearance was not outstanding, she was more than delicate, and she was not charming enough, but fortunately, her skin was white and her lips were red, her face was like a full moon, and she had a rich and noble style. Sitting there at this time, it is demure and gentle, quite a concubine.

But she is so glamour......

Jiao Niang couldn't help but glance at Su Qingyin, who was sitting opposite.

I saw her wearing a white-background orchid pattern skirt, combing a wishful bun, a white jade hibiscus hairpin inserted in her sideburns, decorated with a jade peach heart, with a decent smile on her mouth, and her bearing was calm and graceful, like a clear orchid blooming quietly.

In this contrast, the bright pink elegance fell into place.

No wonder Hua Junyi chose Su Qingyin instead of Ji Yun, there is indeed a certain gap.

After gossiping for a while, Ji was afraid that they would be bored, so he instructed Su Qingyin to lead Ji Yun and the sisters to enjoy the flowers, and called a group of mothers-in-law and maids to follow and serve, and their sisters-in-law turned into the back room to talk privately.

At this time, it is the spring of March, the sun is not arrogant or impatient, the breeze is coming, the fragrance of flowers everywhere is fragrant, Jiao Niang pressed her steps to walk at the end, it seems to be delayed by the beautiful scenery in the garden, but in fact she does not want to get too close to them.

Those mothers-in-law and maids only followed the people in front, and she gradually fell behind. It was only when they entered the waterfront that she followed.

Jiao Niang sat near the fence under the porch, looking at the pool from a distance, and from time to time there was their laughter.

"Why is the fifth sister sitting here alone, and everyone is laughing together when they don't come to that side. ”

Jiao Niang pulled out of thousands of thoughts, turned her head, and saw that it was Rou Niang.

She gave her a place to sit and said simply, "I like the scenery here." ”

Rou Niang looked at it and said with a smile: "It is true that the field of vision is broader, and sure enough, the fifth sister knows how to appreciate it." ”

Jiao Niang just smiled faintly and didn't answer again, and the two of them were silent for a long time.

After a while, Rou Niang seemed to inadvertently mention, "My sister has not heard of it, the Marquis of Chang'an has already discussed marriage, and she is the daughter of the lord of Nanling County, called Zhong Baoyu, and she is a beauty." ”

Jiao Niang's face did not move at all, and she said lightly: "Is it?"

She already knew about this matter, Wan Niang got the news and was sad for a few days, and today the Lan family brought Ji Yun to relieve her.

Rou Niang looked at Jiao Niang carefully, "I'm really sorry for my sister, if my sister took the initiative that day, maybe this family affair would be my sister's, I think how much Princess Chuyang likes you that day." ”

Jiao Niang's eyelashes slowly fell, and she glanced at her, and said without a head or end, "Isn't the fourth sister tired?"

Rou Niang's eyes flashed, "What?"

Jiao Niang smiled, "It's nothing, I feel that I have been out for a long time, and my body is a little tired, so I asked the fourth sister if it was the same." ”

Rou Niang sneered, "I don't think it's because my sister is not feeling well, do you want to go back and rest." ”

Jiao Niang gently shook the fan, her fair skin was as delicate as a white jade porcelain doll, and she said slowly: "That's not necessary, maybe I've been studying for a while, so I feel a little tired." This man, if he exerts too much mental energy, his body will be tired. Just like my mother, I was always sick a few days ago, but since I had my sister-in-law to help me, my health has gradually improved, but I don't know if I used my mind too much before, and I am tired. The fourth sister should also pay more attention to maintenance and think less about it, so as not to be like me and my mother. ”

The meaning of these words was almost not said directly on the surface, how could Yi Rou Niang's exquisite mind not be heard, she restrained her anger, and smiled as usual: "Thank you Fifth Sister for your concern, it's just that I've always been lazy, and I don't want to take a few more steps, so I'm still willing to think about it, it seems that I can't experience this kind of tiredness." ”

The smile on Jiao Niang's face slowly faded, until there was no trace, no matter whether Rou Niang was tired or not, but she was really tired, and she was worried about the people in the house every day, she didn't know how long there would be such days, but she felt that the future was vast.

The two fell into silence again, only listening to the sound of the breeze blowing the water, as if they could clean up all the dirt in this world.

Suddenly, Jiao Niang fixed her eyes on Rou Niang's face, Rou Niang was slightly surprised, and she had already opened her mouth, "Fourth sister, you are a person with a seven-trick exquisite heart, we might as well open the skylight and say something bright." ”

Rou Niang was shocked that Jiao Niang was so direct, but out of conditioned reflex, she smiled slightly and said: "My sister praised it falsely, my sister has no exquisite heart, but she is better than a fool." ”

Jiao Niang raised an eyebrow, "Is it interesting?"

The smile froze on her face, really embarrassing, Rou Niang slowly pulled up her smile, and said, "It's boring, if my sister has anything to say, just say it." ”

Jiao Niang glanced at Shui Xiang, Shui Xiang understood, and pulled Rou Niang's maid to the side to gossip, giving the two of them space.
