"Go back and sit, you two don't need to wait," Mrs. Ji looked at the pestle, and the eldest lady who was hard and there was no good mood, and she was not angry.

The eldest lady returned to her seat expressionlessly, and the second lady had no choice but to stop talking.

"Grandmother, let Yi'er come," Ji Yini is used to serving the old lady, and she is good at it.

The old lady nodded, looked at the ladies on the table, and sighed: "In this house, you and Caiwei's girl are the most popular with me, but it's a pity that this child contracted the wind cold on the way and can't be lively with everyone." ”

A trace of imperceptible disdain flashed in Ji Yini's eyes, and soon she gave the old lady a chopstick vegetarian dish without changing her face, and said with a smile: "Sister Caiwei has always been weaker, so she should take care of herself, grandmother doesn't have to worry, her granddaughter has already been seen." ”

"But what's the problem?" The old lady asked, "Tell the maids in her courtyard to have more eyes and serve them well." The old lady did not forget to say one more thing.

"Yes, grandmother." Ji Yini said quietly.

Gui Mingyue didn't expect that the old lady would be so attentive to the girl named Caiwei, who is she sacred.

The sixth aunt sat beside her, and when she saw that she was puzzled, she leaned close to her ear and whispered: "This Caiwei girl, I heard that the old lady met her on the way to Yuntai Mountain three years ago, and she also saved the old lady's life, so the old lady recognized her as her godgranddaughter. I didn't expect to be so pleasing to the old lady, it can be seen that she has a means. ”

Cai Wei ...... Cai Wei, since Gui Mingyue heard this name, she has been a little worried, and there is a vague memory that seems to come from a very distant time, but she has obviously been burned to death?

It's impossible, it's because I'm thinking too much, Gui Mingyue shook her head. At this time, the sixth aunt tugged at her sleeve vigorously, and then winked at her.

"The old lady is asking you......"

"Huh?" Gui Mingyue was stunned for a moment, and quickly looked around, Lin Zhanmei was watching her lose her mind in front of the old lady with a playful expression. Gui Mingyue suddenly had a feeling of being distracted in class in her previous life and being named by the teacher.

"Grandma seems to have something on her mind?" The old lady said with some displeasure: "The left and right are just a maid, and if it's gone, it's gone, so why bother to alarm Jing Zhaoyin, not to mention that Brother Yi is busy with official business every day, and he still has to worry about this trivial matter." You are not suitable to be a daughter-in-law, and you should have been disciplined by your mother-in-law, but for the sake of Brother Yi, my wife also had to say a few words. ”

Only then did Gui Mingyue react, it turned out that this old lady was dissatisfied with the matter of condensing incense.

As soon as the old lady came back, she was able to feel the big and small things in the courtyards of the mansion clearly, and even her own impermeable west courtyard couldn't escape, so it can be seen that this old lady is really not a fuel-efficient lamp.

The old lady's words are also thorny, what about the dead maid, this Gui clan really shouldn't work to mobilize the people, and the eldest young master was involved, he is a person who does big things, how can he see the affairs of the inner courtyard mixed with the heavens.

No wonder the old lady was dissatisfied, and Gui Mingyue was also a little ashamed in her heart, whether she really relied too much on Ji Yunyi.

"Yes, the granddaughter-in-law knows her mistake, and the eldest young master should not be involved in this matter, but Ning Xiang died innocently and tragically, and the murderer has not been arrested so far, if you don't find out and give Ning Xiang a justice, the granddaughter-in-law is also afraid of chilling the hearts of the people in this house." Gui Mingyue said.

"If that's what you think, then be it. But now it's the New Year's Day, and if you make any more disturbances and ruin the blessings of the house, I won't spare you. The old lady threatened again in her words, leaving a little leeway, she wanted Gui Mingyue to stop pursuing this matter first.

"Yes, granddaughter-in-law must pay attention." Of course, Gui Mingyue would not give up because of her half-word threat.

This Gui is really too stubborn, and the old lady doesn't like it even more.

"Why should the young grandmother be persistent, the old lady's return to the house is a great joy, and she shouldn't be spoiled by such an unlucky thing, I think you should not pursue it anymore." The fourth aunt couldn't help but interject, as if she was a kind persuasion.

It's a pity that Gui Mingyue ignored her words, and didn't plan to talk at all, so she only lowered her head and ate porridge shallowly.

The fourth aunt snorted, what's the big deal, I don't know what to do.

The third aunt next to her tugged at her sleeve, her face full of worry.

After dinner, the ladies and dependents retreated, and it happened that at this time, Marquis Ji also finished his errand, and hurried back with a gloomy face.

I said something close to the old lady, mother, son and son.

"This ...... Is that really what the Holy One said? And the tiger talisman in your hand? The teacup in the old lady's hand couldn't help shaking, and then sighed, too, it has been the case since ancient times. Even if the Marquis Mansion of Zhenguo has a monstrous merit, with the strength of its power in the court, it will inevitably cause the jealousy of the saints.

"Of course the tiger talisman is still there," now that the tiger talisman is his own talisman, how could Hou Ye Ji hand it over easily.

Marquis Ji didn't feel a little tired, he blamed himself for being too carried away, a few days ago, he couldn't bear it for a while, and went to see the eldest prince, Marquis Ji couldn't help but regret it.

"Then, Brother Yi wasn't affected, right?" Old Madam Ji asked nervously when she thought about it.

"It's hard to say, the border Muya people are moving again, I heard that this time it is menacing, and the Holy Lord intends to send him to quell the chaos. If he shouldn't be the one who is sent to the frontier on weekdays, I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid of it......"

"What? I'm going to fight again," Old Madam Ji quickly turned the rosary in her hand and said, "It's okay, with Brother Yi'er's ability, I should come back with some more military exploits for the Hou Mansion this time." At that time, it is not impossible for you to get back on the ground. ”

When Marquis Ji heard this, his heart was settled, and he stroked his beard and smiled: "Yes, yes, it's still the mother who is thoughtful, and the son will later ask Yi'er to take the initiative to invite Ying to fight Muya!" ”

After speaking, he approached the old lady and said something.

"What, you're going to take a concubine again?" The old lady snorted and said, "You are also in your forties, and your daughter-in-law has married into the door, and you have to take a concubine, and you are not afraid of being laughed at...... It's ridiculous that you are expanding your house for the sake of taking concubines! ”

Old Madam Ji said that in the end, she hated that iron could not become steel.

"There is no need to expand the house this time, there is no need to expand the house, didn't two die in those days, just right, just right." Hou Ye Ji hurriedly said.

The old lady Ji gave him a blank look, fortunately, taking a concubine here is not a big deal, far from Ji Shangchang being jealous of the saint, and sending a famous and powerless idle official to make the old lady have a headache and anxiety.

Old Madam Ji then said: "A few days ago, I made sure that there was nothing wrong with that family's affairs, how did I hear that there was someone in his family who was on the border guard?" If you come back after knowing the truth, it will be a great deal. ”

"Mother, don't worry about this, it's all rumors, how can there be any border general, but the family is boasting about Haikou. This time, I did it well, and I didn't leave a living. Ji Houye's eyes narrowed, and he said fiercely.

Old Madam Ji waved her hand and said, "I'm old, I don't have the heart to take care of those things in your yard, but there are too few people in Brother Yi'er's yard, and it's been half a year since the Gui family got married, and there is no movement in the stomach, and there is no one in this house who is in a hurry." ”

Where can Marquis Ji care about considering these now, the concubines in the room are his heart.

Old Madam Ji knew that talking to him about these things was also playing the piano to the cow, and the eldest lady was also a coward, so she had to do it.

So, two days before the New Year's Festival, the matter of Ning Xiang had not yet been clarified, and two more things happened to add to Gui Mingyue's blockage.

The first thing is to say, it is nothing more than the old lady's granddaughter who entered the mansion, not only entered the mansion, but was also personally arranged by the old lady to the west courtyard.

The old lady's actions are also known to everyone in Sima Zhao's heart.

The eldest lady saw that since the old lady had brought the two cousins into the West Courtyard, she had an idea, so she also picked a niece from her mother's brother who was talented and outstanding in character and welcomed her into the house to celebrate the New Year together.

So in the spacious west courtyard, there were three young ladies who were fat and thin, and who were like flowers and jade.

When Gui Mingyue looked at the three of them looking at her handsome and unscrupulous husband, her eyes were like hungry wolves pounced, and she couldn't get angry.

There is another thing that directly touched Gui Mingyue's reverse scales, which also made the entire West Courtyard fall into a depression.

On that day, Gui Mingyue went to greet the old lady and the eldest lady as usual, and the old lady first scolded the eldest lady for not giving the West Courtyard a certificate. Then he reprimanded Gui Mingyue for the dress of Su Rili, a subordinate of the West Courtyard, saying that the subordinates of the West Courtyard were dressed more expensive than the masters of other courtyards, which violated the rules of the Hou Mansion.

This back and forth, so that Gui Mingyue could not find the mistake, so she had to bow her head and admit punishment.

Unexpectedly, Grandma Cheng, who has always been the most stable and disciplined by Gui Mingyue's side, couldn't help but come out to argue for her master, who knew that she angered the old lady and was stripped of her new ochre-colored silk jacket in public.

This kind of thing is a great shame for ordinary maids, not to mention Grandma Cheng, who has a head and a face in this Hou Mansion, Gui Mingyue only felt that it was a slap in the face, and when she looked at the old lady again, her face turned cold.

"What the old lady said is that as a slave and maidservant, how can he match this plain brocade clothes of ten taels of silver and a horse. It's just that I don't blame the young grandmother, she is sympathetic to our subordinates, so she used her own dowry money to give the slaves and maids new clothes, but she didn't expect to inadvertently violate the rules of the Hou Mansion. Even if the family rules did not allow it, the slave maid took off this plain brocade garment. ”

It was Yinshen'er who spoke, this girl who had always been quiet and strong, reached out in front of everyone, took off the coat on her body, and slowly threw it on the ground.

Isn't this girl crazy?

The women below, including the eldest lady, all secretly gasped.

Silent.

Gui Mingyue was originally looking at all this expressionlessly, but at this time, suddenly, she smiled slowly.

His eyes were full of disdain.

The old lady Ji also smiled, her smile was full of the chill of the storm, and those who knew her knew that the old lady was angry.
