Chapter Ninety-Three: Jifu (4000+)
Su Man went to the Xuanping Marquis Mansion with 120,000 points of caution under the invitation of Mrs. Ji.
"Why did Grandmother suddenly think to see me?"
"Grandmother?" Ji Yechen was very satisfied with Su Man's consciously brought into the role, and he tied Su Man's cloak tightly
"Hehe, grandmother likes children, today is to call a few children to get together, Ari is also there, not you who invited you alone."
"Oh!"
"Are you nervous?"
"A little!"
Looking at Su Man's rare restraint, Ji Yechen always felt very funny, and he took the other party's hand and entered the mansion directly. The lights inside were colorful, and they were very festive, and Su Man and Ji Yechen walked all the way with the feeling of walking the red carpet of the wedding banquet. Seeing Ji Yechen smile at her with a sideways face, Su Man's face burned all of a sudden.
Crazy, crazy, crazy, Su Mandu began to wonder if the Gu worm in his body had been taken out. I feel that after I woke up, my liking for the person in front of me increased day by day, and it was to the point that I couldn't take it back.
Su Man followed Ji Yechen directly to Mrs. Ji's house, the plants in the yard were exquisite, and the placement of the water tank and flower pots had a bit of modern geometric symmetry. Combined with the garden architecture of this era, there is no sense of peacekeeping, but looking at the ancient clothes dressed up there is a feeling of passing through.
"What are you laughing at?"
"Such a symmetrical courtyard really doesn't look like a garden here, is the gardener obsessive-compulsive?"
"Shhhhh
"Oh!" Su Man immediately shrugged his shoulders.
Entering the house, Su Man saw that Mrs. Ji was sitting there and meditating. Su Man was also waiting with Ji Yechen on the side, very humble and impatient, waiting for a pillar of incense time. The old lady on the side saw Su Man's well-behaved appearance and nodded slightly at the old lady.
"Su girl, I heard that you were accidentally injured in the Wu'an Hou Mansion this time?"
"Back to the old lady's words, it was my own playfulness that hurt my abdomen, and now I'm almost better."
"In the future, I should pay more attention, the girl's heart is still good with your mother, she was the most well-behaved child in the palace back then, and she was very decent to receive people and things."
"Well, that's what my dad taught me."
Hearing this, Mrs. Ji glanced at Su Man, the little girl looked very much like Princess Jinxiu when she was young, but no matter how she looked at it, she followed Su Cheng. But it's good that the girl is lively, which just eases the cold temperament of this grandson.
"You've graduated from White Deer Academy, so what do you do in the mansion on weekdays?"
"Back to the old lady, on weekdays, I just follow my mother to learn how to deal with things in the house, sometimes I have to learn to read the account books, and I have to spend half a day learning embroidery!"
"Poof!"
Ji Yechen couldn't hold back, he didn't dare to compliment this girl's embroidery. Feeling the two unkind eyes, Ji Yechen immediately buried his head in drinking tea.
"It's so good, learn more from your mother, these will be used in the future." Mrs. Ji glanced at Ji Ye in the morning and then looked at Su Man carefully, the girl with a bright water look is indeed attractive, and the aura in her eyes makes people feel a familiar sense of intimacy, this may be a person who is destined for Buddhism.
"Haven't you done it yet?"
"Well, February 18 is over."
"It's smaller! It's finally coming soon. Old Madam Ji glanced at Ji Yechen on the side and said, "You go outside to see if Xiaorui is here?" β
"It's okay, Ari is familiar with the way, his grandson is still here to accompany his grandmother!"
"I haven't seen you so filial in the past."
Hearing this, Ji Yechen was a little embarrassed, but he still looked at Mrs. Ji with a dead face and said, "Then it's better for a grandson to be filial and accompany his grandmother more." β
"I have something to talk to Su Yatou privately, you go out for me."
Old Madam Ji refused the other party directly without giving face, but beckoned to Su Man and let her come in to talk, but the expression on her face was not angry. Seeing this, Ji Yechen had to get up and go out with some embarrassment, looking back three times in one step, looking like a little daughter-in-law who was unwilling to be separated from her husband.
Mrs. Ji looked down on Ji Yechen's twisted appearance a little, but it was not difficult to find that this grandson really liked the girl in front of her.
"Girl Su, I know that you haven't told me the truth, and you all treat me as an old fool. But it doesn't matter what is going on at this time, the important thing is that the things in Changzhou have passed, and the two of you are safe and sound, and you will continue to work together in the future. β
Listening to Mrs. Ji's summary, Su Man also nodded clearly. This ginger is really old and spicy, and the old lady's heart is like a mirror. Then Mrs. Ji said some things about Ji Yechen's childhood, and she felt that the old lady also liked her grandson very much, but even if Mrs. Shuang taught her, she didn't have much chance to get in touch.
"Ah Chen, that kid I know very well, he looks very cold on the outside, but on the inside, he is a very affectionate person, and he is also a filial child. Lady Frost was his own mother, gave him life and raised him, and Ah Chen almost never disobeyed Lady Frost's request.
But that's all in the past. If this person has a recognized person, no matter how gentle and obedient the child was in the past, he will work hard for that person, even if he is facing his most beloved mother, he will not shrink back, and he will not hesitate to risk his life. β
Su Man listened to Mrs. Ji's words as if she was talking about another person. But also, Mrs. Frost's past, Ji Yechen's life experience, Su Man still guessed a little. The supple Marquis Xuanping must have disobeyed Mrs. Ji to marry Mrs. Shuang at that time.
"Don't worry, since you are the person that Ah Chen fancies, and he is also the only bloodline in our Ji Mansion, I will always look towards him. In the future, no matter who enters the mansion, as long as she abides by the rules of the mansion, I will not let her Yan Lingshuang cover the sky with one hand. β
Hehe, since ancient times, there have been few mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law who have gotten along well, and most of them are the hostile sides of a battle. And the granddaughter-in-law is the enemy of the enemy. The enemy's enemy on the battlefield is what he wants to win over, and it seems that this old lady Ji is taking this path.
Su Man naturally immediately replied, "Well, Xiaoman is still young, and many people don't understand the world very well, I hope to come to the old lady more often in the future to listen to the teachings." β
"You're a smart one, and your grandmother will teach you well in the future."
Mrs. Ji couldn't say it, but she felt that the inexplicable intimacy of Su Man's body made her seem to be able to let down her vigilance and want to treat her well, as if that person was still there.
"Old lady, Bai Shizi and Shizi are here."
"Let them in!"
When the two of them entered, they saw Mrs. Ji holding Su Man's hand, and Su Man's wrist had already brought the obsidian Buddha beads that the old lady had worn for many years. That posture is that Su Man has already dealt with Old Madam Ji, and Bai Qirui glanced at Ji Yechen with a little lightheartedness. Fang Cai was outside and pulled himself over to save the scene. What to save, he doesn't have such treatment here with Mrs. Ji, this Su Man is really going to give people ecstasy soup, Mrs. Ji was taken down by her for a while, no wonder Ji Yechen was fascinated by her.
After that, a few people chatted casually with Mrs. Ji, and then went to the main hall to eat together. And when she entered the table, Mrs. Ji called Su Man to sit beside her, and that posture was to hold this girl.
Several aunts were also very happy to see it, they originally looked at Su Man and liked it, especially Ji Yechen's cousin who looked like a future hostess after she moved in. I feel that this little girl is still Su Man, and she looks petite and lovely. And since the son of the house got along with her, there have been more fireworks. Now in their hearts, they point to these two people to get married as soon as possible and give birth to a few more dolls for them to play with.
At this table, it is estimated that Mrs. Shuang's aunt and nephew are eating with poor faces, and the others are all happy from the heart. After the meal, Bai Qirui asked Ji Yechen for an opportunity to chat with Su Man alone.
"That...... Is she okay? Bai Chery's hand holding the teacup tightened slightly.
"I didn't mean to be in front of her that day."
It's really a last resort, after seeing her back from the Peach Blossom Wine Shop, he wants to see if she is doing now, but he doesn't dare to appear directly in front of the other party. Bai Qirui had been following the carriage of their Su Mansion from a distance that day, and finally saw the carriage stop in front of his mansion, and at that moment his heart was full of hope, and even a little ecstatic.
He wanted to go back to the house immediately to tidy up and appear in front of Siying again. It was only later that I took a closer look, and they were just here to help Chun Niang deliver wine. But he was stopped by Song Ci again, and he fled in a hurry, but his legs stopped without obeying. Somewhere in my heart I wish I could hear that the place forgave me, at least I was willing to see myself again.
In the end, he only got verbal forgiveness, and the other party still didn't want to see him. All illusions were extinguished, Siying was close at hand, but the hearts of the two were far apart. Back in the study, he looked at Siying's portrait for a long time and couldn't calm down, if he asked her if he asked her one day, "Do you know Siying", maybe everything would not happen after that. Obviously, I was attracted to the other party at the time, and I wondered why I didn't speak, was it my ridiculous self-esteem?
In fact, Bai Qirui couldn't tell whether he liked Li Yuanfang or Siying on the other side of the letter. It seems that my feelings for each other have changed a long time ago, and I have always been generous to women, only for her, I have always been-for-tat. They have been fighting openly and secretly for more than two years, it turns out that the days of leaving each other are so boring, the days are boring, and the days of leaving Siying are so painful, there is no light in sight.
"Lao Bai, some injuries, whether you mean it or not, are injuries." Su Man looked at Bai Qirui and said calmly
"Besides, in your conscience, when you rejected Xiao Ci at that time, did you plan to make Xiao Ci and Yun Fang have a conflict? Such a despicable method can forgive you. β
Hearing this, Bai Qirui had to smile bitterly, but Song Ci didn't see how good he was at that time. She took Pei Yuqing's identity to talk about things, and she was a concubine with a low status when she opened and closed her mouth, and she couldn't be a housewife, and even Pei Yuqing could go online as a doctor to diagnose men's pulses. At the moment, Bai Qirui had only one thought in his heart, that is, no one could slander his Siying.
The provocation of Song Ci and Li Yuanfang was an accident, and he can be regarded as Li Yuanfang, who has nothing to do with the matter. In fact, it is also an inertia of fighting with Li Yuanfang for many years. And why he can't tell why he is scheming with a little girl, is it just because of the title of a sister-in-law when he was a child? Maybe it's just because the days in the capital are too boring, and he has long been tired of acting in the capital, and the bickering with Li Yuanfang seems to be interesting, full of energy, and he will unconsciously show his most naΓ―ve side to that person.
"Does Song Ci know that Siying is Li Yuanfang?"
"What?" Su Man was stunned by Bai Qirui's sudden question, and she thought for a while
"I should know. But she didn't know you were a cuckoo, and we weren't going to let her know. I think Xiaoci's feelings for you have become an obsession, since your mother also likes her so much, why don't you marry her. β
"Heh, didn't you keep telling Song Ci that I wasn't a good person before, and told her not to be affectionate to me? Now let me marry her. β
"Do you think I'm willing to marry someone who doesn't love me? But Yuan Fang is right, there are really a few couples in the house here who love each other, and even if they love each other, there are a few couples who finally work together for a lifetime. Instead of asking Xiaoci to find a person who has raised her eyebrows for the rest of her life, it is better to let her marry the one she loves, and at least one of the two has got her wish. β
"How do you know that if she marries me, she will be able to get her wish? And you know that I don't love her, but you let me marry her, is it unfair to me, haven't you considered my feelings? β
Hearing this, Su Man glanced at Bai Chery with slight contempt
"Lao Bai, come on. You used to have few concubines in the courtyard, and I didn't know that I thought you were the son of Xuanping Hou. It's just to let you marry someone who loves you, respect each other like a guest, and raise your eyebrows. With this requirement, are you still afraid that you can't do it, a veteran of flowers? β
In another place, you married Princess Changping, and the two respected each other for a lifetime, okay? Now it's just to marry a stupid girl who loves you, and it won't be difficult for you to take a concubine in the future, who are you pretending to be sad here? Su Man's heart was full of contempt.
