Chapter 25: Master Ji
Four months later.
This injury was recuperated for four months, and at the beginning of October, Xiao Guogong was gone, and Xianchen had to keep filial piety in the house. Now that the wax moon has arrived, it has fallen a lot of snow in Yecheng, the snow is covered with snow outside the house, and a few red plums can be faintly seen and bloom in the snow, which is really picturesque and beautiful.
A beautiful woman in the house was wearing a white fox fur jacket, with two or three inches of white fox fur exposed on the cuffs and neckline, a pink Huanhua brocade skirt on her lower body, and a blue hairband on her head. The slender dust, who had not gone out for four months, became more and more fair-skinned and beautiful, and the charcoal fire in the house had been warmed, and her face was flushed, which was very cute.
At this moment, Xianchen and Aunt Jiang are playing chess in the house, Aunt Jiang is peerless, and her demeanor is all right, and she instantly kills the piece of armor that Xianchen killed, and Xianchen just looked gentle and lovely, and immediately stood up like a rabbit and said: "Don't play, lose every time, I want to go out to play." ”
Aunt Jiang shook her head with a smile and looked at her dotingly, but Grandma Sun on the side stopped: "The third young lady is messing around again, it's snowing outside, not to mention, your legs can barely get off the ground, but you can't go far." ”
Hearing this, Xianchen pouted and sat down again, and glanced out the window listlessly: "I haven't been out of Jingyuan for four months, and this time it's really a big fun." ”
Aunt Jiang's expression immediately sank, and she motioned her to be careful about the wall, and then said softly: "I was helpless that day. I just don't know what happened next? ”
As soon as the words fell, Xiao Yu'er pushed the door in, and only a small crack in the door was opened, and a cold wind poured in, and the temperature in the house suddenly plummeted, and the candle flame trembled a few times before it was stabilized. Xiao Yu'er flicked the dust on her body, next to the stove on the small runway, her hands roasted back and forth on the fire a few times, and Xian Chen brought her a cup of hot tea, and she poured it down to come back to life, and said: "I have seen the green pine in the courtyard of the second young master, and now the second young master is tripped by Master Ji and can't get out, but as soon as he gets the news, he immediately asks the green pine to come back and inform the young lady." ”
"How's it going?"
"Which Master Ji?"
Xian Chen and Aunt Jiang asked in unison, Xiao Yu'er was stunned, and she didn't know who to answer first.
Aunt Jiang woke up like a dream, cleared her throat in embarrassment, and said, "But the news from the Liu family?" ”
"Exactly, Qingsong said that the news just came out that Liu Shangshu was imprisoned, and the Liu family was also confiscated."
Xianchen wondered: "What is the crime of being so sudden?" ”
"It is rumored that Liu Shangshu officials are engaged in business, enriching their own pockets, and have been charged with encroaching on land, beating people's lives, and robbing people's daughters, and several crimes have been committed."
"It's not surprising that he did something that strengthened the people's daughters." Liu Shangshu, oh no, the evil deeds of the prisoner under the willow ladder were told many times by the so-called "well-wishers" when everyone thought she was going to marry as a concubine.
Xiao Yu'er's body warmed up at the moment, and she was in a good mood, and she even said with her eyebrows fluttering: "Who said it wasn't, fortunately, His Majesty is now wise and martial, and secretly sent the current Marble Shaoqing to secretly inspect the room, grasp the evidence of his crimes, and bring the Liufu to a pot, which is really happy, and it is more enjoyable than listening to books......"
When Xian Chen heard this, he felt that this matter was not as simple as it seemed, Liu Baiqin had been in the position of Shangshu and had been an official for many years, and he thought that His Majesty would not find out that he had filled his pockets and killed people today. actually let a marble young qing shake the tree, presumably Liu Baiqin joined the party struggle and endangered His Majesty's imperial power, so he would make an example of him. Xian Chen thought of the conversation between General Yan and Mrs. Xiao that day, in general, this crisis has passed, I don't know if she is lucky, or someone to help her.
Xiao Yu'er saw that Xian Chen's side had no doubts, but her interest in telling the story was still high, and she turned to Aunt Jiang and said, "Aunt Fang is asking Master Ji?" ”
Hearing this, Xianchen remembered what Aunt Jiang blurted out, this is indeed too weird, she has been a deaf Aunt Jiang since she was a child, and her discipline and companionship are not as good as Mrs. Xiao's, nine out of ten days are worshipping Buddha, and General Yan is also politely refusing to come over. Now that he asked an irrelevant person, Xianchen couldn't help but think: "Could it be that he is his mother's old man......"
Before Aunt Jiang's lips opened lightly, Xiao Yu'er was impassioned again, and began to tell the story with her hands dancing: "If you want to say that this Master Ji is really a legend, he is the richest businessman in our Wu country, the first to play, the first prodigal son, the first rebel......" At this moment, Xiao Yu'er is just a table, a folding fan and a fake beard, and he looks like a storyteller.
Grandma Sun, who hadn't said a word for a long time, was also amused by her, and asked with interest: "This person is interesting, I understand the first rich businessman, but what do the last three mean?" ”
Xiao Yu'er saw that there was an official interacting with her, and she said even more energetically: "The richest merchant is naturally easy to understand, his business is all over the country of Wu, and the gold and silver treasures will not be used up in ten lifetimes; As for the first time to play, it's not difficult, what are the young masters and sons playing now, fighting crickets, kicking and bowing, etc., there is nothing he is not proficient in, although he is a businessman, but countless sons of families are eager for him, this is not our second son in the house is only afraid that he is still at Master Ji; The first prodigal son, it means that he lingers in the Qinlou Chu Pavilion all day long, talking about business all the year round, and he has pointed out all the red cards in the north and south of the river; The first rebel son is a little appalling, it is rumored that this old man Ji is the only son in the family, nearly forty years old and unmarried, countless friends outside are all acting on the spot, but there is no heir, the old lady of the Ji family is not in good health, and he is angry with him all day long, and finally dies of anger, Mrs. Tai is sad and broken, living alone in the old house in Luozhou, swearing to never see this old man Ji again......"
"It's amazing." Xianchen applauded.
Xiao Yu'er also agreed: "Yes, how else is it a legend of the Wu Kingdom." ”
"I said that you are so powerful, you have chattered about this big basket of words, and you have not yet stopped, you Miss and I are ashamed of myself."
"Where there is a master, there must be a servant." Xiao Yu'er scratched her head and said embarrassedly.
Aunt Jiang listened to this for a long time, her expression was a little gloomy, but she tried her best to make it look peaceful. Seeing that she was so embarrassed, the words that Xianchen wanted to ask reached her throat and swallowed it back. Aunt Jiang said softly: "It's not too early, I'll go to the Buddha Hall first, Xiao Yu'er has to take care of Miss San, don't let her go out half a step." ”
The little fish are busy.
Xu was in a hurry, Aunt Jiang accidentally bumped into the coffee table next to her, the teacup and teacup shattered, she didn't look back, and went straight out. Grandma Sun hurriedly took off the cloak on the hanger and followed out, shouting: "Auntie put on it and leave, it's very snowy outside." ”
"Mother......" Xian Chen looked at Aunt Jiang's back and muttered uneasily.
Aunt Jiang never came out of the Buddha Hall after entering the Buddha Hall, the lights of the Buddha Hall were on all night, and the lights reflected the snow-white snow in the courtyard, and the entire Jingyuan was bright.
