Ji Chenglin was a little surprised to see that Ji Tianjiao didn't cry, and he was already reprimanded in his throat, and immediately swallowed back. "My father has promised the Ruan family."
Ji Tianjiao had long known that her father would not change his mind easily, but the other party spit out this decision in front of her so earnestly, which still made her feel aggrieved, but fortunately, she had already figured it out. "Tianjiao didn't want to marry, but for the sake of Daddy, she will marry for the sake of the Ji family."
This is the rhetoric she discussed with Ji Rujun before she came.
Ji Chenglin was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't expect Ji Tianjiao to come this time, not only did he not ask him to change his mind, but he was so sensible and thought about him. He stood up and walked around a few cases to Ji Tianjiao, pulled her up from the ground, and said, "It is worthy of being the eldest daughter of your father, you can think like this, I am very pleased to be my father." β
Ji Tianjiao's eyes were full of tears, and she didn't speak with red eyes.
Seeing this, Ji Chenglin's previous admonitions and exhortations turned into soft comfort, and what he said was the benefits of marrying into the Ruan family. "Tianjiao don't worry, we have been in contact with the Ruan family for many years, and this time you don't hesitate to wronged yourself, they don't dare to owe you no matter what."
Ji Tianjiao raised her eyes to look at Ji Chenglin and said, "I understand what Daddy said, but my daughter still has a reluctant request, begging her father to fulfill it." β
Ji Chenglin thought about it carefully in his heart, and it seemed that Ji Tianjiao couldn't say anything to make him embarrassed, so he said, "You come and listen." β
"Tianjiao's marriage is imminent, I hope Daddy can bring his grandmother and aunt to the capital and let our family reunite......" Ji Tianjiao said, knelt at Ji Chenglin's feet again, and choked up: "Ask Daddy to become a piece of filial piety for Tianyu." β
Ji Chenglin was stunned, after arriving in the capital, it was prosperous and dazzling everywhere, making him almost forget Aunt Gu who was in Yangcheng, but he didn't expect Ji Tianjiao to mention it at this time. The old lady will come sooner or later, but Aunt Gu ...... Ji Chenglin couldn't help frowning when he thought of Aunt Gu's appearance when he was leaving.
Seeing him hesitate, Ji Tianjiao hurriedly said, "Grandmother is old, so Daddy naturally has to serve by his side all the time." Sooner or later, I have to bring my grandmother to the capital, so why not take advantage of this time to fulfill my daughter's wish? β
If Mrs. Ji goes to Beijing, it will be impossible to leave Aunt Gu alone in the old mansion, and it will not look good. Moreover, after Xue Baoyue entered the mansion, Ji Chenglin already had plans to expand the house, so it was also an opportunity. He thought for a while and said, "Tianji is so sensible, how could his father not agree." β
Ji Tianjiao was overjoyed: "What Daddy said is true?" β
Ji Chenglin nodded and said, "It's not early, you can go back and rest, you will be in the courtyard for a long time to prepare for marriage, if there is anything wrong, just talk to your mother." As a father, I will let everyone in the capital know that you are a good daughter who is affectionate, righteous, and filial! β
In Ruyue Xuan, Xue Baoyue was half-lying on the beauty, holding a dowry list in her hand, and said to the Zhi'er beside her: "Look at this Ji Mansion, the foundation is really empty. Even if a concubine marries, she will not give such a little money. Although the master said that I asked me to help the Qin family, in my opinion, there is really nothing to be reasonable. β
Zhi'er stood behind Xue Baoyue and pinched her shoulders, the strength in her hands was neither light nor heavy, her movements were very skillful, and she said with a smile: "What the second wife said is that there is no Zhuangzi in this house, and there is no shop in the second, so it is difficult for you to smile and agree." β
Xue Baoyue raised her lips and smiled, and said: "In the end, the lord values me, whether there is money or not, we can count half of the rights of this master." β
"The silver of the mansion, the second wife is all out for the master? Judging from the slave maid, it is only fair to let the Qin family give half of it. β
Xue Baoyue glanced at Jiao'er and said, "What is this bit of silver?" Besides, the matter of the big house was originally mentioned by me, just to make a credit to the master. If you still make trouble for the Qin family to come out of half, what kind of discord will be born at that time, and outsiders will still think that I will find trouble with my wife as soon as I enter the door, how can the master pull down this face, and a good thing will not become a bad thing? β
Zhi'er smiled: "It's still thoughtful for you." β
Xue Baoyue's face sank slightly, and said: "Also, something happened to my uncle, which has a lot of impact on us, and we can't let the master underestimate us and think that we are useless and cumbersome." β
Zhi'er thought for a while and said, "This time the eldest girl got married, and I heard that the two sisters were going to take the old lady and Aunt Gu to the capital. Before you asked people to inquire about the news, the slave maid felt that the old lady would definitely not do anything to you. But that Aunt Gu, after all, is a person who has been with the master for more than ten years, and she has two daughters close to her heart, will it be bad for us when she arrives in the capital? β
Xue Baoyue said disdainfully: "It's just a village woman, even if she followed the master in her early years, she wasn't left in Yangcheng, it can be seen that it is not enough to threaten me, the important thing is whether she can be used by us to deal with the people who should be dealt with." She must be the pimple in Qin's heart! β
β¦β¦
In the dark night, Aunt Gu clutched the letter written by Ji Rujun tightly, her mood was like the stars overhead, beating brightly and excitedly. She had finally waited for this day. Rubbing her palm, which was getting rougher, she gritted her teeth with hatred, Mrs. Ji, an old immortal, and Shuangqiao, the cheap hoof who held high and stepped low......
She stood in the courtyard for a moment, then suddenly smiled, her neat row of teeth showing no damage. This is a denture that she has worked so hard to find someone to do after using all the money in her hand. Just because of this incident, Mrs. Ji was unhappy and found a reason to beat her ten boards!
"Red Bean, come here."
Aunt Gu greeted, and a cowering little girl stepped forward from the corner and saluted, "What do you have to say, Auntie?" β
"You go and call Shuangqiao over, and say that I accidentally dropped her new shoes embroidered with peonies into the well."
Hongdou was stunned for a moment and said, "Auntie, aren't those shoes there......"
Aunt Gu sneered, lifted the freshly washed embroidered shoes, walked to the well, and as soon as she let go of her hand, there was a 'plop' sound, and the water splashed. "You can go this time."
Hongdou was startled, and watched the embroidered shoes disappear at the mouth of the well, not understanding why Aunt Gu did this. Hasn't she been bullied enough? Although she is an aunt, in this house, who doesn't know that Aunt Gu is no different from a slave, or even worse than a slave, and she will be punished and beaten at every turn. And herself, because she followed Aunt Gu, the suffering she has suffered in the past two years can be imagined.
Seeing Aunt Gu's eyes looking over, Hongdou hurriedly lowered his head: "Yes, the slave will go." β
Aunt Gu followed the figure of the red bean and walked away quickly, looking around the courtyard. This is the West Courtyard where the Qin family used to live, and he has also tasted the taste of being left out here, even worse than the Qin family, and the insults and beatings are commonplace!
She wanted to cut herself off several times, but thinking that those sluts were living so well, she would be unwilling. Even if you die, you have to drag them to die together to not lose. Thinking about her two daughters again, she felt that she had a day to turn over, so she gritted her teeth and survived. Sure enough, she finally survived this day, and she was going to the capital!
In the upper room, Mrs. Ji was closing her eyes to recuperate, and while beating her legs, Shuangqiao laughed softly over and over again: "The old lady is going to follow the master to Beijing to enjoy happiness this time." The slave is happy for the old lady in her heart! β
Shuangqiao is twenty-eight years old, the life is delicate and bright, and the mouth is also sweet, coaxing Mrs. Ji all day long, in this old house like the master, except for Mrs. Ji, everyone else has to be sent by her. Old Lady Ji had a smile on her lips, and she was obviously very happy in her heart, and said: "When you arrive in the capital, if you are willing, I will be the master to open your face and let you serve by the boss's side." lest you waste a good time by my side without a name or a place. β
"Oh, look at what you said, you are reluctant to let the slave and maid out of the house, and the slave and maid are reluctant to let you go. It is to let the slave and maid serve you for a lifetime without a name and no part, and the slave and maid have no complaints......" Shuangqiao's voice was soft and flattering, and he smiled at Mrs. Ji's eyebrows, and praised her for being sensible and caring.
"Sister Shuangqiao......"
As the two of them were saying this, a small voice cut off Shuangqiao's words. Shuangqiao frowned and said unhappily: "What's the matter?" β
Old Lady Ji's gaze also moved to Hongdou along Shuangqiao. Hongdou was nervous for a while, and her voice became quieter: "Yes, it's my aunt, she said that my sister's pair of peony embroidered shoes fell into the well......"
Shuangqiao listened to the corners of his mouth drooping, got up and stomped his feet, and complained to Mrs. Ji: "Old lady, look at Aunt Gu, you can't even do such a trivial thing as washing shoes!" β
Mrs. Ji snorted coldly: "I think she is deliberately embarrassing my old lady, you go and see, if your heart is not smooth, just say what I said, punish her for kneeling for two hours!" β
Shuangqiao responded, shook the handkerchief and followed the red bean out of the door, took a sip, and sneered: "You think you can follow Shangjing, so you don't take me seriously?" It's just an over-the-top yellow-faced woman! Think you can turn over when you see the master? Phew! If you don't look in the mirror to see what kind of virtue you are, I'm going to pull out her denture today! β
Hongdou followed behind Shuangqiao, listening to her insulting Aunt Gu all the way, becoming more and more cautious, for fear that the other party's anger would blow out to her.
She really wondered in her heart, when Shuangqiao used to serve Aunt Gu, she was very well-behaved and supple, but in the past two years, she has grown up and become more and more watery, why has her heart become vicious? Or, it was called by Aunt Gu in the past, and she was already resentful in her heart. Or, did you taste the sweetness of being the master from the old lady, and your heart became wild?
As soon as she entered the West Courtyard, Shuangqiao saw Aunt Gu standing by the well with her back to her, and there was no light around her, her whole person was caged in the shadow of the wall, and the black and dark were a little infiltrating.
Shuangqiao paused for a moment, and then was filled with anger, only to feel that the other party was deliberately pretending to be a ghost, she strode behind Aunt Gu and scolded: "Are you impatient? Is this a dissatisfaction with me, and a use of my shoes? β
