When General Ji returned from going out to work, he just sat down and closed his eyes to recuperate, just like usual, waiting for the maid to come and freshen up and soak his feet.

The water temperature was quite pleasant, and I closed my eyes deeply. But today, I feel that my nails have been scraped intentionally or unintentionally. With his eyes closed, he said lazily: "March, it's time to cut your nails!" ”

No response was heard, only a soft movement. The general opened his eyes, and in front of him was his wife, washing his feet, "Madam, who are you?" ”

For many years of marriage, his wife has never been like this, and there are no rules in the General's Mansion, so at this moment he hurriedly raised his feet and was about to help his wife.

But the lady still knelt beside the barrel, raised her eyes with a trace of remorse, and said in a low voice: "The concubine is guilty, which makes the master angry." ”

He stumbled and took out a leather whip from his side and held it in the palm of his hand, "If the master is angry, please punish the concubine!" He bowed his head deeply and raised his hands above his head, looking annoyed.

General Ji grabbed the leather whip and put it on the table, and then stepped forward to help his wife, "Madam, the children are so big, where are you putting my old face like this?" ”

Seeing the lady crying and crying, she was very aggrieved.

The general's heart softened, and he said indifferently: "Many years ago, Pei Yao didn't enjoy happiness when she was still a lady, but she suffered outside, I inevitably favored Yan Zhi and Ye Xiaoying. ”

"Master, the concubine will never dare!" Madame's tears flowed down, and her voice was sad and cold, "For many years, the concubine has been fulfilling her duties and thinking about sharing her husband's worries.

Yan Zhi and Xiaoying came, and the concubine tried her best to take care of her, not because the concubine was not dedicated, they were the children of Pei Yao's sister, and the concubine naturally regarded it as if she were out of her own.

But they are a family of three, Ye Xiaoying advocates simplicity, and when she goes out, the rest of the ladies make fun of the Ji family's shabby, Yan Zhi talks to his subordinates without proportion, and has no demeanor of the main family.

When the concubine occasionally talks about it, her tone is too heavy, the family has moments of fighting, and they have never gotten along, although there are disputes, but the concubine does her best to take care of the Ji Mansion, so that the lord can worry! “

General Ji patted his wife's hand, stroked his beard and said: "General Ben believes in you, so he entrusts you to take care of the affairs of the house, what you said is not unreasonable, it is General Ben's previous negligence, and the words are heavy for a while, making you shameless!" ”

Madame hurriedly waved her hand, "It's not the master's fault, it's the concubine's poor care, and the master's blame is appropriate!" ”

Looking at the considerate wife, General Ji had a trace of memories in his heart, took his wife's hand, and said softly: "In the future, our family will live in harmony, and no one is allowed to mention the previous things!" ”

Madame was overjoyed.

For a few days, the general was very considerate to his wife, and his words were quite gentle, Ji Yanzhi and Ye Xiaoying looked strange on the side, and the lady and the master were like a newlywed couple.

Madame's face was flushed, and for a moment she seemed to be ten years younger. When she was basking in the sun in the garden with Guo'er and Ji Yanzhi, she mentioned it lightly.

Ji Yanzhi gently wiped the sharp long sword in his hand, and turned his back to prevent Guo'er's outstretched little hand from being cut.

"Erniang's good mood is a symbol of the prosperity of the family, we get along well with them, and the General's Mansion will inevitably rise!"

Ye Xiaoying lowered her eyes and did not answer, but played with Guo'er. Not far away, there was a lot of activity, and there were several maids holding fruit boxes and hurriedly walking to the pavilion not far away.

Raising his hand, he beckoned a maid and asked, "Is there a distinguished guest?" ”

The maid bent her knees slightly, "If you go back to the young lady, it is the birthday of the young lady, and I invite several sons to come together!" He looked up and motioned for them to leave.

When Guo'er heard the sound of the music, she jumped up with joy, stretched out her little hand to that side, twisted her body and made a fuss about going.

Ye Xiaoying pressed it, hugged it in her arms, and rubbed his little face, "It's my aunt's banquet, if you go, you will become a troublemaker, but you will be disliked!" ”

Ji Yanzhi looked at them with a smile on the side, and after a few words, he played with his father. At this time, the next person came to ask for instructions, and the plum blossom pile had been placed.

He immediately went to give it a try, and stepped on the plum blossom pile with both feet, trembling, seeing that Ye Xiaoying was worried, for fear that he would fall headlong.

The fruit was getting heavier and heavier, and it was extremely sore to hold in her hand, Ye Xiaoying put it down, opened the flower branch in front of her, and looked at Ji Yanzhi on the side.

His posture is beautiful, but at the beginning of the plum blossom pile, the lower plate looks bulky, every step is cautious, taking care of the appearance of the other, but a little interesting.

Ye Xiaoying gradually became obsessed, and when she remembered Guo'er, she turned her head and was startled, but she didn't see her figure, and hurriedly called her son's name while looking forward.

The fruit is greedy to play, with a handful of millet in its arms, put it in the bag to play, originally it took a fancy to the soybeans, but it was worried that it would be stuck, so it changed to a small grain of rice.

It was as if a hole had been broken in the pocket, and millet fell to the ground one by one, which happened to become a clue to find someone. As I went on, the music became louder and louder, and there seemed to be a stage not far away, singing opera.

I was shocked in my heart that this was Ji Yan'er's banquet. If you go rashly, you will be unhappy.

But Mi Li lost his trace, looked at the noisy crowd not far away, thinking that if Guo'er was here, he might be injured, so he didn't care about it much, so he broke in immediately.

The sons inside were dressed in white, all of them were in the wind, gathering together to chant poems, or drinking or listening to operas, Ye Xiaoying suddenly appeared, and everyone's eyes swept over.

She is not dressed as a maid, but she is not like the master, for the maid, there is a little more grace, and for the master, it is a little less noble.

Several sons who were drinking were sitting beside her, and the eyes of the sharp-eyed people were focused on her, and the woman in front of her was quite a bit of a gesture, and she reached out and pulled Ye Xiaoying over.

"We're short of a bartender, come on!"

"Yes, you come to the question, and if we can't answer it, we'll drink!" The other son's voice is soft, but a little feminine.

Ye Xiaoying frowned slightly, and wanted to turn her face, but he was Ji Yan'er's guest, and said casually: "You just say the poems with the word wine, whoever loses will drink three glasses!" ”

The two thought for a moment, then stroked their palms and said, "Okay, haha!" "Open your mouth and come, "There is wine today and drunk tomorrow!" "I can't help but have a drink for myself.

Everyone laughed heartily, "This wine order is really appropriate!" His eyes found that Ye Xiaoying was missing, and he hurriedly put down the wine glass and looked around.

While they were drinking, she dodged away, and there were men everywhere, she lowered her head, but found no fruitless shadow, and her heart was anxious, and she stomped her feet again and again, "Where is it?" Really! ”
