Chapter 444: Concubines
Instead of looking at the clothes on the table, he eagerly asked how his mother was.
"Her illness is due to exertion, and she must be served well, so you can live in peace for the time being. No matter how rich the General's Mansion is, it is more than enough to support the two of you! ”
A hint of loss flashed in Jiu Niang's eyes, "So how long will my mother live?" ”
"Half a year at most, three months at least."
Her face instantly became gloomy, and Jiu Niang sighed slightly, "In this case, please bother Madame!" ”
Ye Xiaoying nodded heavily and said softly, "I understand your current predicament. Well, I'll let Fluttershy stay! ”
Jiu Niang looked at her in shock, and shook her head again and again, "No need, if Mrs. Yu learns about it, she still thinks that the young lady is targeting her, and it is Jiu Niang's sin to make you discord for Jiu Niang!" Isn't she just sarcastic? For the sake of my mother, I can endure it! ”
She repeatedly refused, and Ye Xiaoying was inconvenient to force it.
When leaving, his sharp eyes stared closely at the maid at the door, and said in a deep voice: "Take good care of Jiuniang!" ”
The maid was shocked, nodded hurriedly, and when she looked at Jiuniang again, she was a little weak, "Nine girls, please drink tea, nine girls, please use snacks!" ”
Busy up and down, flattering from time to time, while his lips twitched.
The ninth girl understood her worries, thinking that she still had to look at her face, and said softly: "The young lady is just talking about her mother's illness!" ”
Even so, the maid instantly sighed, just had a pleasant face, and immediately the clouds were all over her, and she turned around and left with a sneer, Jiu Niang was extremely helpless.
There was an echo to the greeting post submitted a few days ago, and Ye Xiaoying and Ji Yan went to the Qi State Mansion as guests before. On the grassy lawn, several boys of about ten years old were riding white ponies and galloping on the lawn.
Although she is young, she plays polo well, and the fruit around Ye Xiaoying is excited, clapping her little hands and wanting to step forward.
Ye Xiaoying handed his hand to Fluttershy, and said helplessly to the Duchess of Guo: "Guo'er is stubborn, and he has a headache in the house. ”
The Duchess looked kind, looked at Guo'er's chubby face lovingly, and said with a smile: "This is with his father and grandfather, he really can't lose to people at a young age!"
Why do you study early? It's better to be like his older brothers and learn some kung fu with knives and guns! “
After hearing this, Ji Yanzhi echoed: "The Duchess of the Kingdom is very right, and she thinks so in the next, but the lady just said, 'Everything is inferior, only reading is high!'" 'You have to let him read and read!' ”
The scholarly family of the Duke of Qi's Mansion was happy when he heard this comment, and looked at Ye Xiaoying with a smile on the corner of his lips, "The young lady is really extraordinary, and now she is the head of the General's Mansion, which is really admirable, and the consequences will follow them to enlightenment!" ”
As soon as she raised her hand, the boys who were galloping on the field instantly reined in their horses, and were carried forward by their subordinates and knelt in a neat row.
After introducing them one by one, Guo'er is really the youngest among their ages, but she is not low, and her eyes are extremely smart and very likable.
A group of small children quickly got to grips with each other.
Originally, Ye Xiaoying thought that only one fruit was enough, but when she saw their brothers in groups, she was a little envious.
After returning, Ji Yanzhi was originally riding on a horse and opened the curtain, and saw Ye Xiaoying sitting sullenly in a daze holding the sleeping fruit, so he stopped the carriage, left the horse inside, held her hand tightly, and said softly: "Are you unhappy?" ”
Smiling reluctantly, Ye Xiaoying shook her head and said softly: "You think too much, but you don't!" He lowered his head and reached out to stroke Guo'er's black hair, and asked him casually, "Do you want Guo'er to have a brother?" ”
So that's the case, Ji Yanzhi smiled and looked at her deeply. After glaring back, he was cranky, and his expression became solemn, "I mean, do you want to marry a concubine?" ”
Ji Yanzhi's expression was awe-inspiring, and he hurriedly shook his head and said, "Why are you doing this, you can't figure it out so much, you were the most opposed in the past." ”
"Everyone must have everyone's style, which of the sons and brothers outside is not three wives and four concubines, I know that there are rumors in Kyoto, making fun of your wife and strict management, and you dare not marry a concubine."
Ye Xiaoying was extremely unhappy in her heart, others said that she was okay, it didn't matter anyway, but every time she saw Ji Yanzhi being subjected to gossip, she felt a little guilty.
"I'm afraid that the fruit doesn't stick to you often recently, so you will think crankily, and in the future, you will have to mention marrying a concubine in front of your father!"
He suddenly whispered in Ye Xiaoying's ear: "I don't know why, my father frequently mentions it, as if his mind is sprouting and he wants to marry a concubine!" ”
It turns out that my father still has such thoughts, Ye Xiaoyinghong hurriedly straightened up and nodded solemnly, with a momentary feeling, thinking that if there is a concubine, Jiu Niang will be upside down, wouldn't it be a mess if she is replaced by the rest?
Even if it's Jiuniang, occasional quarrels are inevitable, what will happen tomorrow if Taiping Bao is not allowed today?
Leaning into his arms, Ji Yanzhi stretched out his hand and hugged him tightly, "Hey, the previous Jiuniang was a headache, and finally the house calmed down, and no one would mention him, my father was worried." ”
After going back, I settled down the fruit, and I heard the maid say that the master had an invitation.
The couple glanced at each other, Ji Yanzhi was still knocking on the road, Ye Xiaoying rubbed her ears, gave him a blank look, and said angrily: "My ears are calloused, don't worry!" ”
Blinking their eyes and smiling slightly, the two of them were extremely surprised when they entered, only to see that Mrs. Yu and Jiuniang were also there, their expressions were also solemn, and the two of them immediately put away the jokes on the road, and sat down after saluting one by one.
The general cleared his throat and said aloud: "I came to you to announce something to you!" ”
His eyes looked at Jiu Niang, and Jiu Niang's face was red, and she lowered her head and eyebrows with affection, which was quite vivid.
Ye Xiaoying's heart sank, she didn't see Jiu Niang's face recently, and when she asked the maid, she said that she seemed to be very close to the general.
Madam Yu also looked vigilant, and when she heard the general say in a deep voice: "There has been no happy event in the Ji Mansion for a long time, of course, there will be one soon!" ”
She jumped down with joy, and soon felt that it was inappropriate, restrained the color on her face, and said tactfully: "Is the master willing to make the decision to marry her into the mansion?" ”
"That's natural, Jiu Niang has a gentle temperament, and her temper is even more in line with me!" The general's gaze changed to tenderness, and he looked at everyone with a smiling face, only ten years younger.
Mrs. Yu was also happy, and stepped forward to take Jiu Niang's hand, "I just said, the two of us have fate!" He looked at her with a smile, his eyes full of love.
