Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Kiss Is Coming
"Jiao Niang, hmph, you stop this idea for me as soon as possible. Originally, I might have considered it, but now, anyone can do it, but she can't. As soon as he mentioned Jiao Niang Ji, he was angry, fanned the wind with a silk, and gritted his teeth, "You haven't seen her so powerful, if I can't stop it, I can be eaten by her." Dare to love used to pretend to be with me, like her dead mother. ”
Hua Meiniang smiled and served her tea, "Okay, listen to you, I'll dispel this idea." ”
Ji nodded with satisfaction and took the tea.
"Since you can't tolerate her, it's not easy to do, just follow your grandmother's wishes, let your cousin and aunt propose, she marries, Wanniang has no opponent, and you have also pulled out this thorn in your eye. ”
Jiao Niang's outstanding appearance, if you keep it, you will get into trouble sooner or later, and if you marry early, everyone's hearts will be over.
Ji couldn't agree anymore, nodded incessantly, and the mother and daughter stole for a long time before returning to the table.
Since her father's birthday, Jiao Niang found that Ji's attitude towards her had changed, and when she went to ask her for peace, she changed her gloomy face before, became friendly, and asked people to send clothes and jewelry every now and then.
The people in the house were respectful to her again, and the meals delivered from the kitchen were no longer perfunctory, and even tonic such as bird's nest and ejiao were prepared in the morning and evening.
This is all Hua Mei Niang taught Ji's family, at this time everyone knows that she and Jiao Niang have torn their faces, if she blindly criticizes, it will inevitably end up with a reputation of being harsh. Besides, although the father and Jiao Niang quarreled, they couldn't get better one day, and when Jiao Niang complained to him again, their husband and wife couldn't reconcile.
Only now is to rebuild the old friendship with Jiao Niang, coax her to agree to the marriage, and marry her, so that everything will be fine.
Xifu begonia blooms gorgeously in front of the window, the buds are delicate red, like the face of the beauty dyed with a layer of rouge, sitting near the window, there are bursts of fragrant wind blowing, and the fragrance fills the room.
Jiao Niang was lying on the beauty collapse in the west room, her eyes were closed, the fragrant dream was heavy, and the begonia petals in front of the court were flying, and she fell all over, still unconscious.
There is a small bamboo basket on the incense table on the collapsed side, with all kinds of needles and threads, and there are several belly pockets on the side, all of which are children's, embroidered with various patterns, there are magpies, there are Pisces, there are tigers, Jiao Niang is making belly pockets for Brother An, and she is tired and falls asleep here.
Outside, the fragrance of water was embroidered under the porch, and wisps of breeze held her face, blowing away a few strands of broken hair.
"Girl, girl. Suddenly, I heard a voice from outside the door, and when I looked up, I saw that it was Qinghuan who ran in without touching the ground, and hurriedly waved at her, "Where is the girl asleep inside?" ”
Qing Huan covered her mouth and lowered her voice, "When did the girl sleep?"
"I just fell asleep for a while, what's wrong, it's so hot. ”
As soon as Qing Huan spoke, she heard the girl inside calling her, and she had already woken up.
The two entered the house, and Jiao Niang sat up to support the flowers on her body.
"Did the slave wake up the girl?" Qing Huan went over and plucked the petals from her shoulder.
Jiao Niang rubbed her eyes, sleepy, "What's the matter?"
Qing Huan said: "The Feng family's aunt and grandmother asked An Lehou's wife to come to the house to propose to the girl, and she is talking to her in the front hall. ”
"The Feng family's aunt and grandmother?" As soon as she woke up and heard the news again, she was like a monk who was like a second monk, and she was puzzled, "Which Feng family?"
"It's the eldest lady's grandfather, the Feng family. ”
Jiao Niang's heart sank, and she asked anxiously: "Who did you listen to?
Her heart was suddenly chaotic, and she remembered what the old lady of the Ji family said on her father's birthday.
At that time, the old lady had a fork, and Jiao Niang didn't pay attention to it, and she didn't want to really come to the door so soon.
"It's the red apricot in Ji's courtyard, and when she heard a sentence when she entered the house to deliver tea, she ran to tell the slave maid. ”
Shui Xiang asked, "Did you say which son it is?"
Qing Huan shook his head, "This red apricot didn't say." ”
Jiao Niang frowned, at that time, the Feng family only said that it was her nephew, and did not say which one, but no matter who it was, Jiao Niang would never marry into a family related to the Ji family.
She steadied herself and calmed herself, it wasn't a hurry.
Shui Xiang saw that she was as stable as Mount Tai, but she couldn't help but be anxious, "Girl, marriage is the most important thing in a woman's life, you can't just let Ji make a decision, we don't know what kind of person it is, what kind of person it is." ”
In the past few months since Jiao Niang was reborn, she has never thought about what kind of person she will marry in the future, she just wants to avoid Lord Rui first, she is still young, she is not in a hurry, and it is not too late to wait for two more years.
But I don't want to face this problem so early.
She leaned back on the back cushion of the chaise longue and unconsciously gnawed her fingers.
Qing Huan looked at Jiao Niang's face cautiously, and said, "It's better for the slave to go and listen again." ”
As soon as she said that, Jiao Niang stopped her, "No, it's just a proposal, the eldest lady can't be the master alone, and then wait to see what my father says when he comes back." ”
Qing Huan is not as patient as her, and without waiting for Hua Jintang to return home, she inquired about the news and came back.
She was so angry that she even burst into flames, "A thing that is not a good thing, and he still wants to accept our girl as his concubine, and he doesn't pee according to his own virtue." Our girl, a fairy-like character, is worthy of the Jade Emperor, and will be worthy of him with a stinky shit. ”
Listening to her scolding, Jiao Niang and Shui Xiang couldn't help but be happy.
"Girl, you can still laugh, it's too late for me to cry. Qing Huan hated iron and stared at Jiao Niang.
Jiao Niang teased her, "I want to cry, but you hold me up to the sky, and I can't cry when I'm so happy." ”
Qing Huan snorted helplessly, sat down on the pedal, beat Jiao Niang's legs, tilted his head and said: "Girl, aren......'t you in a hurry? ”
"Toad?"
"The toad wants to eat swan meat. ”
compares a cousin to a toad, and Qinghuan can think of it.
Jiao Niang smiled and shook her head, to say that she was worried before, but at this time she was not worried at all.
A concubine, my father will not agree, even if he has a cold war with himself for a while, but Jiao Niang knows that he and his aunt are still in love, and he will not let himself be a concubine.
Shui Xiang was also strange, "Why doesn't the girl look worried at all?"
Jiao Niang said: "Father will not agree to this family business." ”
Knowing that they still had to ask, he sent them away, "You just wait for the letter." ”
Sure enough, Hua Jintang came back and heard about it, and immediately vetoed it, he and the Feng family are in-laws, and they are officials in the same dynasty, how can they not know the conduct of the criminal department member Wailang.
is lazy, doesn't know how to make progress, and is almost like a waste in the criminal department, and it's a little bit every day.
To marry such a person, it is better to find a poor scholar for Jiao Niang, at least she is self-motivated.
What's even more infuriating is that he made his daughter a concubine, if it weren't for the fact that Mrs. An Lehou was also entrusted by others, he would have scolded him a long time ago.
