Chapter 141: Beginning to Reflect
"With the eldest prince's idea, it's far from enough. The eldest lady is merciful, and she does not want to confiscate your dowry, but only temporarily put it into the treasury, and when you have children in the future, you will naturally have to leave it to them. Grandma Yuan continued.
Gui Mingyue sneered in her heart, when she has children, I'm afraid that this money will have already gone into someone's pocket.
"What does Grandma Yuan mean, but you want to divide our two rooms? I can't be the master of this, so I have to go back and discuss it with my husband. Gui Mingyue said aggrievedly.
"What do you say! Who said to split up. "Separation? That's absolutely impossible, Ji Yunyi really wants to split up, but this matter has already been rejected by Hou Ye, Hou Ye's consideration of the eldest lady is not unaware, at the moment Ji Yunyi's status in the court is not trivial, and it is also of great benefit to the Ji Mansion, how can they be allowed to separate the family? !
Mrs. Ji said with some annoyance: "You go back, you don't have to come back at night to say goodbye." ”
Gui Mingyue's face did not change and retreated.
As soon as she left, Mrs. Ji said in a cold voice: "Tell the treasury, don't give the monthly rules in the west courtyard in the future, and the food will be simple." After thinking about it, he said: "Also, let the second room move from Beiyuan to the West Courtyard and live with her good son and daughter-in-law." ”
On the same day, the second aunt packed up her baggage and went to the west courtyard where her son and daughter-in-law lived.
Although this is a concubine, she can be regarded as a serious mother-in-law who returns to Mingyue, and at dinner, Gui Mingyue specially ordered the small kitchen to add vegetables.
"Grandma," the grandmother from the kitchen came in with a sad face and said, "The procurement manager on the chef's side only gave a few vegetables today, and they still wilted." ”
"I'll go find the steward!" Jin Qi'er said angrily: "It's not that I don't want to covet our young lady's dowry, this will deduct our rations, and I don't think that our uncle's money is confiscated." ”
"Be careful!" Gui Mingyue's face changed, and she scolded: "Why don't you always have a long memory." Also, remember not to call Miss and Aunt in the Hou Mansion in the future, but to call the eldest young master and young grandmother. ”
"Oh," Jin Qi'er pouted, muttering in response.
"Shen'er, you go and open the door of the northernmost small warehouse in our yard, take out some silver and use it first." It's only been a few days since she got married, and she is about to use her dowry, Gui Mingyue didn't expect this Mrs. Hou Mansion to be so shameless.
Looking at the sumptuous dinner in front of her, the second aunt did not show much joy.
"You still return the dowry to the treasury according to what the eldest lady said, and how can you disobey the elders?" The second aunt scolded softly.
Gui Mingyue didn't speak for a long time.
"What dowry?" When Ji Yunyi heard this, he frowned and said, "Why does Yue'er's dowry have to go back to the treasury, mother, you don't care about this matter." ”
"Young master, you don't know, just because the young grandmother failed to do what they wanted today, she deducted our food, and these meals were bought by the young grandmother with the money in the dowry."
"Jin Qi'er, shut up!" Gui Mingyue reprimanded.
When Ji Yunyi heard this, his face turned pale.
"Auntie, I see that this young grandmother is still respectful and filial to you." Ying'er, who was beside the second aunt, said softly, poor second aunt has been bullied and cowardly for half her life, and now she can finally live comfortably in the future.
"Hey, but I see how good she is to Yi'er, Yi'er's regular clothes are old, and she, as a wife, may not necessarily tailor clothes for her husband, and ah, her maids, who are not light or heavy, are also indebted to the rules." The second aunt was not very satisfied with Gui Mingyue's daughter-in-law.
"Then do we need to cut new clothes and send them to the eldest young master? Aunt ......"
Ying'er sighed, and the aunt fell silent again, looking out of the door in a daze, no longer paying attention to her, and no longer worrying about the eldest young master's old clothes.
"Auntie, right now, the most important thing for the Hou Ye is our eldest young master, we should also care more about the eldest young master, so that the Hou Ye will be happy." Ying'er has been by her side for a long time, and she knows her, her temperament seems to be cowardly, but in fact she is dull and ruthless, and the friendship that is full of eyes has been given to Hou Ye, and the most pitiful thing is the eldest young master and the fourth young master, who have not received a trace of love from her since childhood.
Ying'er followed her to suffer a lot in Zhuangzi over the years, and finally saw that if you want to live a good life, you must have a plan. When it comes to planning, you have to find a backer, and the best backer at the moment is not the eldest young master.
"Really, Master Hou will be happy? Then let's hurry up and ......" The second aunt's dead gray board eyes were re-injected.
At night, in Gui Mingyue's room, Ji Yunyi did not consciously return to the study as usual, but sat for a long time.
"I've wronged you," Ji Yunyi whispered for a while.
Gui Mingyue shook his head, although he used means to marry himself into the door, saying that he wanted to take revenge on himself, but he didn't really do anything to himself after that, he went to the court every day during the day, accompanied her to dinner at night, and then went back to the study to sleep politely. In addition to not being able to go out as often as before, he also gave himself the greatest freedom in this Hou Mansion.
"Coming home tomorrow? I'm with you. Ji Yunyi said again.
Gui Mingyue can only take the opportunity to return home to take care of the business in the shop, and this return to the mansion is mainly to persuade Ji Yunlang to return to the Hou Mansion.
On the second day, the carriage departed from Ji's mansion, and then went to the flower shop and jewelry shop, and then returned to Chengzhi and Ji Yunlang.
"I have a home, I live in another home every day, and I don't feel ashamed to eat and live." Ji Yunyi reproached.
"My sister-in-law's home is my home, and my uncle and aunt are good to me when I return home." Ji Yunlang didn't move at all, he was really comfortable at home, except for the occasional white eyes from Miss Gui, whether it was the second elder who returned home, or the two brothers Chengzhi and Chengqi, he treated him well, and even the maid who returned home liked to chat with him, and he lived at home with relish.
I received the news early when I returned home, and Gui Hongyuan didn't go to the academy today, just waiting in and out of the house.
"Go and take a look, are the stewed ones that Yue'er likes to eat? Yue'er came back this time, but do you want to stay a few more days, she likes the newly dried quilt the most, so hurry up and let the next person take it out to dry again......"
"If it's sunburned, as long as it's sunny outside, I'll dry it. Sir, sit down and wait, I am dizzy back and forth. Yu said angrily.
"Miss and Uncle have arrived!" Grandma Liu happily came in to report.
"Quick, go and meet you." Yu got up in a hurry, and before he finished speaking, he went to the gate of the courtyard with a gust of wind accompanied by Wei.
Gui Hongyuan also wanted to see his daughter sooner, but he thought that his uncle was also here, and he couldn't lose his father-in-law's posture, so he held back and sat down again.
This is not the first time Gui Mingyue has returned to the door, after returning to the door on the third day of the wedding, she secretly came back a few times, every time her father and mother were so excited and happy, which made her embarrassed with a trace of sadness.
In front of the two elders who returned home, Ji Yunyi has always been gentle and elegant, polite and courteous, enthusiastic and steady, thoughtful and generous......
Every time Gui Mingyue is dumbfounded, he is not like this in Ji Mansion, frowning and making a stinky face is the norm.
Ji Yunyi saw Gui Hongyuan and Yu's doting and intimacy with Gui Mingyue, and Gui Mingyue also had a rare coquettish look, and couldn't help but feel a trace of tenderness and yearning in his heart.
"Sister, don't persuade me, I came out of the suffocating Ji Mansion so easily, and found my hobbies and career, and finally felt that I was still a useful person. And I'm living happily now, and I don't want to go back. Ji Yunlang listened to Gui Mingyue's intention, and shook his head resolutely, he didn't have the slightest concern for Nahou Mansion.
After dinner, Gui Mingyue and Ji Yunyi went to the Jianxian courtyard together. However, Gui Mingyue went to Yunlang, and Ji Yunyi went to his brother-in-law Gui Chengqi.
"However, the second aunt begged me to let you go back in front of the eldest lady. Thinking about it, she is worried about you in her heart, and it is not a long-term solution for you to be outside alone. Gui Mingyue worried.
"Hehe, sister, with your cleverness, haven't you found out yet?" Ji Yunlang smiled bitterly: "Where is she worried about me in her heart, she must have been bewitched by others again, let me go back and make trouble for you." ”
Gui Mingyue was a little speechless.
"My sister doesn't think that all mothers in the world treat their children like Mrs. Gui." Ji Yunlang sighed, thought for a while and said, "Sister, although Yunlang doesn't know what happened to you and my eldest brother, I still want my sister to take care of him more." His life has always been very hard, I only said that the eldest lady and the marquis Ji are not good to him, you must not imagine, even our mother and second aunt have never pretended to him, and have never really cared about my two brothers. ”
"Now I can still be at ease outside, but he is tightly absorbed by Ji Fu like a leech, plus my sister...... He can't get rid of the shackles over there. Ji Yunlang said earnestly.
"I ......" Gui Mingyue felt a little guilty in her heart, she was indeed only obsessed with the grievances between her and Ji Yunyi before marriage, only that Ji Yunyi was extremely capable, and he was also a figure in the court, and he was respectful and stammering in front of everyone in Ji Mansion, thinking that he was a strong and unfailing iron man. didn't pay attention to the malice of everyone in the Ji Mansion towards him, Ji Hou's snobbery and intentions, Mrs. Ji's deep hostility, the second aunt's alienation and indifference, and even his own indifference and complaints......
"What are you talking about?" Ji Yunyi pushed the door in, and seeing that the atmosphere in the room was depressed, he couldn't help asking.
"I've been going for so long, what's going on with Chengqi?" Gui Mingyue poured him a cup of tea, and asked without answering, with a trace of unconsciously apologetic and gentle in his tone.
Ji Yunyi took the teacup a little flattered, and his eyes overflowed with smiles, like a shiny broken star.
