Chapter 143: The Banquet of the Ji Mansion (1)

"Don't worry, my husband will pay you for the teacup." Ji Yunyi said funny.

"It's going to be exactly the same."

"Okay."

"Two of them."

"Okay, okay, it's all up to you."

"You ......" Why did he speak in such a doting tone, Gui Mingyue turned over, turned his back on him, and didn't teach him to look at his crimson cheeks.

Ji Yunyi didn't tease her anymore, but lay flat, the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, and she fell asleep from time to time.

Gui Mingyue couldn't sleep for a long time, turning over and over like a pancake.

The next day, Gui Mingyue had dark green eyes, Ji Yunyi was refreshed and graceful, and the husband and wife got into the carriage. Behind is Ji Yunlang, who is saying goodbye to everyone who is returning home.

Especially Yu, who has already treated this cheerful and smiling child as his own child, and because of his physical illness, Yu's heart is even more distressed, so when he said that he was leaving, Yu was very reluctant.

Returning to Mingyue Nunu's mouth, I didn't see my mother so reluctant to go......

Ji Yunyi looked at her childish vinegar and couldn't help but chuckle.

Yun Lang over there finally said goodbye to the Yu family, Gui Hongyuan, and Cheng Zhi Chengqi, and was pushed into the spacious carriage of his brother and sister-in-law by the little girl. Facing the eldest brother's playful eyes, he couldn't help but hum a little embarrassed and said, "You don't understand, this is a sense of happiness from home......"

After saying that, I felt inappropriate, after all, the eldest brother really hadn't enjoyed such warmth since he was a child.

Ay!

After a sneak glance, he saw that the eldest brother's face remained unchanged, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Ji Yunlang returned to Ji's mansion and went to Marquis Ji's study first.

"You rebel, you still know that when you came back, you didn't do anything to embarrass me and your eldest brother outside, right?" Ji Hou saw his son, who had been sitting on a four-wheeled bicycle all day, and said impatiently.

"In the future, be honest at home and don't go out to show off."

"Yes, father, but I can't always stay in the house, and my eldest brother has given me some errands that need to be done outside." Ji Yunlang put down the mockery in his eyes and said.

"What errand can you do?" Ji Hou said disdainfully.

"It's always some light errands, the eldest brother has a lot of things to do on weekdays, and the younger brother should also share one or two for him."

"That being the case, it's okay, you have to do the things that your eldest brother gave you, do you hear?"

"Yes, father, Lang'er is leaving." Ji Yunlang retreated.

"Hey, isn't this the fourth young master, I haven't seen you for a long time." It was the third aunt who spoke, she was honest these days, she was cheated of Yinzi money, and finally had to break her teeth and swallow it in her stomach, thinking that she could ask for some reward from Hou Ye. This is not going to Ji Hou's eyes day by day, and he is more attentive than before.

"Third aunt," Ji Yunlang greeted lightly.

"Hey, I heard you're out there helping people with business." The third aunt leaned close to Ji Yunlang's ear, lowered her voice and asked, "Can you bring your aunt with you." ”

"What business does my aunt want to do?" Ji Yunlang also lowered his voice and asked with a smile: "Doing business requires investment, I don't know how much savings the third aunt has, let Yunlang give you an estimate." ”

Ji Yunlang is no longer the cowardly and bullying child he used to be, with a smile in his eyes, but you can't understand how much he means in this smile?

"This ......" the third aunt rolled her eyes and said, "I'll talk about it another day, I'll talk about it another day." As he spoke, he waved the handkerchief in his hand and ran to Marquis Ji's study.

"Let's go, go to Grandmother first." Ji Yunlang put away his smile and commanded.

"Fourth young master, you don't know yet, the old lady went to Yuntai Mountain as early as the first month of this year, and she was accompanied by the eldest lady and Miss Caiwei." The little guy hurriedly said.

Ji Yunlang really didn't know these before, and he didn't want to know, he hadn't been back to Ji Mansion for more than a year, Ji Yunlang looked at the towering wall of the Hou Mansion, and his face was complicated.

"Let's go, go to the eldest lady." There are a lot of rules in the Hou Mansion, and when he came back, he had to invite a circle of peace everywhere.

Mrs. Ji's white and rich face showed a slight mocking smile, looking at the fourth young master in front of him, who was disabled in his legs but was full of spirit, and was incompatible with this deep mansion compound, he suddenly felt a little resentful in his heart, why could he be so happy, a concubine who lost his legs, why!

"You are also a big man, and you have this broken body, you can't read books, although our Hou Mansion family is not inferior to you, but as a man, you can't eat dry food without doing anything......" Mrs. Ji put down the teacup, her two small brown eyes rolled, and then said: "Otherwise, I have a shop in my hand, I heard that you have learned some business skills outside, why don't you take care of it for me." ”

"Big lady, you're joking, those who can take care of the shop are capable shopkeepers, Lang'er is immoral and incompetent, and his body is inconvenient, I'm afraid he can't do it." Ji Yunlang hurriedly said: "And the eldest brother also arranged a guy for me, and you have to ask for another master for the shop." ”

"Brother Lang, you said that over the years, I haven't treated your mother and son badly, although your aunt used to live in Zhuangzi, but she didn't worry about food or clothing, and now I sent someone to take her back and arrange her to the West Courtyard, and she is dressed and fed every day." Mrs. Ji said with a smile: "Don't remember to reject me, go back and think about it again, and discuss it with your aunt." ”

As he spoke, he raised his hand, "I'm tired, you should go back first." ”

"What, she asked you to help her take care of the shop, what kind of shop?" After coming back, Ji Yunlang told his sister Gui Mingyue everything he saw and heard today, and Gui Mingyue couldn't help but ask puzzled.

Ji Yunlang shook his head and said he didn't know.

After all, he will know, and he can also foresee that Mrs. Ji will not talk about any money-making business to him, and it is likely that this is a hot potato.

On the second day, when Gui Mingyue went to greet Mrs. Hou, she said that she wanted to set up a banquet in the west courtyard and invite the former ladies to get together.

Mrs. Ji rolled her eyes, and said with Yan Yan: "I heard that Miss Leng from the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War, is it your handkerchief?" and Miss Su of Honglu Temple's family...... Oh, by the way, and Miss Zhanmei of Lin Sai Restaurant is also familiar with you? I want to come to this child and I haven't come to our house to play for a long time, and when I was a child, I hugged her. Mrs. Ji seemed to be caught in some kind of past memory, and her face suddenly became unpredictable.

"Yes, eldest lady, these young ladies have all been classmates with me, but some of them are also slightly friendly." Gui Mingyue didn't know what she was thinking, so she had to say cautiously.

"Well, I'll do this banquet, and you can invite your old acquaintances." Mrs. Ji said with a smile.

"This, that, thank you, Madame." Gui Mingyue had no choice but to say.

"Lian's, if you come to do this matter, it will be lively and proper."

"Sister-in-law, I also want to join in the fun, anyway, I have nothing to do recently, and I am bored. Two people do it, and it's always more thoughtful. Second Mrs. Ji on the side also said with a smile.

Mrs. Ji glanced at her, as if she was thinking about it, and said with her face as usual for a moment: "It's okay, then this banquet will be held by the two of you." Gui, you can also help from the side. ”

"Yes," Gui Mingyue said, and the three of them walked out of the eldest lady's courtyard together.

On the way, Lian Shi came to Gui Mingyue's side and said softly: "I heard that there is a fist-sized night pearl in my sister-in-law's dowry, which can be described as priceless, can I ...... Can you cut your love on the day of the banquet and give it to the ladies? ”

Before Gui Mingyue could speak, the second lady Ji next to her sneered and said, "People's dowry, you remember Menqing, since it is priceless, how can you lend it out at will?" I think the eldest lady means that it doesn't matter if the handkerchiefs of Brother Yi'er's family are handed over to the young ladies, and they will definitely invite those ladies and ladies who have heads and faces in the capital. ”

"There are many people, how can such a valuable thing be easily taken out, and how can it be good if it is lost." Second Lady Ji said.

"I didn't think it through...... Lian lowered his head in shame.

Second Lady Ji winked at Gui Mingyue, and Gui Mingyue reciprocated with a friendly smile.

Sure enough, at the banquet five days later, there were a lot of people who received the post, and they were all characters with heads and faces, and most of these characters with heads and faces were relatives of the military generals of the current dynasty.

Those ladies, several of them still have orders to add to their bodies, except for Mrs. Leng of the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War, it belongs to the old lady of the Cheng family in the imperial history, she and Mrs. Ji's maiden family are close friends of the Song family, and this time she was personally invited by Mrs. Ji.

The identities of the young ladies and ladies present are really not the most noble, only more noble.

The last one to arrive was the county lord of Yongjia.

Mrs. Ji obviously didn't expect that the county lord of Yongjia, who had never dealt with anything in Su Ri, would also appreciate it, and hurriedly invited her to the seat.

There are three people who did it on it, and they are Mrs. Leng and Mrs. Wei Chi. and the county lord of Yongjia.

The Zhenguo Marquis Mansion has made great efforts for this banquet, and the four corners of the banquet hall are each placed with a pigeon-egg-sized night pearl illuminated, and the hall is bright, covered with transparent skein lanterns, which makes the light more hazy and softer.

Lian took Gui Mingyue and Ji Yun, the second lady of the Hou Mansion, to meet the distinguished guests.

"This is Brother Yi'er's family? I saw you at your wedding banquet that day, and I was an outstanding person. "It's not ordinary, in short, this kind of overly delicate and beautiful woman is not very suitable to marry back as a wife, and it is a family background like the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion.

"I heard, your mother's family is a merchant? Being able to join the Hou Mansion is also a blessing for you. Old Madam Wei Chi continued.

"Back to the old lady, Mingyue's maiden family is not a merchant, and there are only two people in the family who do business, Mingyue and her brother." Gui Mingyue didn't want them to belittle their families anymore.

"Oh?" Old Madam Wei Chi frowned and said, "In this way, before you get married, you have to show your head out often." ”

"Oh, how could someone like the Hou Mansion marry such a woman......" A young lady from an official eunuch covered her mouth and said.

Gui Jingxue, who has been sitting in the corner since she came, looked at her sister who was standing in the center of the banquet hall and was ridiculed by these so-called noble ladies and ladies, thinking about how she grew up being touted and pampered in her days, and then looking at her current low-eyed appearance.

In Gui Jingxue's heart, she suddenly felt uncomfortable.

"She is also lucky, before the eldest son of Ji was like that, which young lady is willing to marry? It didn't allow her to catch up with such good things. Another relative beside her also whispered.

"Ahem," Lin Zhanmei, who was sitting next to them, coughed unhappily.

The young lady came with her, and did not know her thoughts, so she quickly stopped her mouth.

This Miss Lin has been in love with that eldest son since she was a child.
