90. Be a concubine? That's okay too
"In ancient times, there was a country of Xi, and then it was destroyed by a stranger, and its descendants all took the country as their clan, and it was also rumored that there was a lady of the country in the world, and the appearance was peerless, and there was a pair of skillful hands, good at weaving silk and dancing silk, and weaving "women" down to earth, therefore, the descendants of the surname Xi, regardless of the male and "female", are "beautiful" and good at silk ......"
'Hua'Jiu doesn't know if the Zhaozhou Xi family is really a descendant of the ancient country, but for silk, the ancestors of the Zhaozhou Xi family started with silk, and in the previous dynasty, there was also the honor of the reputation of the imperial businessman, that is, after the arrival of the Dayin Dynasty, perfume prevailed, and the name of the imperial merchant was picked up and fell on the family like the 'flower' mansion.
Although it has already declined, but a few days after 'Hua' Jiu arrived in Xifu, just listening to the gossip of some people, she felt that it was really worthy of being a merchant family that had gone through two dynasties, but the depth of this background was even a little worse than that of 'Hua' Mansion.
On the second day of Huangjue Town, at the second sunset, she entered Zhaozhou City, and the Xi family naturally thought it was the 'flower' sedan chair of Princess Yonghe, and the red silk was paved for one or twenty miles, and a few suona 'desires' shook the sky along the way.
She was helped into the new house, under the second elder of the Xi family and a group of elders, she took off the red hijab by herself, and then brought a smile on her cool "lips", she directly told her that she was not Princess Yonghe, she was the head of the "flower" mansion in the capital, and the "flower" and "flower" nine, and it was the sedan chair man who carried the wrong "flower" sedan chair.
This lame excuse, the Xi family naturally didn't believe it, and they were a little unclear and shouted that they wanted to send her back to the capital and remarry Princess Yonghe through the 'door'.
From beginning to end, 'Hua' Jiudu looked at Old Lady Xi with a light smile on her face, as she expected, every old man in charge of the family can take care of things at a critical time.
Among all the people, the old lady was the most sober, he looked at the 'flower' Jiu stroked his silver beard, and smiled kindly, not saying good, not bad.
It's just that he arranged for 'Hua' Jiu to live in the Bodhisattva Monastery first, and he didn't mention the matter of worshipping the temple at all.
'Hua' Jiu also realized after moving into the Bodhisattva Monastery that this quiet courtyard located in the east chamber of Xifu was the courtyard of Xi Zixiao in the past.
As for Xi Zixiao, Mr. Xi came once halfway, and only said that he had not returned home yet, and he was afraid that it would take three or four days.
The matter of visiting the church and getting married, but it was delayed.
"Girl, aren't you worried at all?" Xia Chang asked worriedly while grinding for 'Hua' Jiu.
'Spring' is born and summer grows, autumn is harvested and winter is hidden, these four maids 'women' are not at all the same as 'flower' nine on the day of 'flower' nine's marriage.
She knew that the old lady of 'Hua' would arrange for the beautiful and charming dowry girl to follow her into the county palace, the four girls trained by Mama Su, she was reluctant, and she exchanged marriages with Princess Yonghe halfway, so she let the four of them leave the house quietly before her, and came to Zhaozhou before her.
"What is there to worry about." 'Flower' nine finished writing the last word, the heart is like stopping water, when the Xifu is not as good as the 'flower' house, there is an incense room to adjust incense to pass the time, here, she only has nothing to practice calligraphy.
"But the groom has not come back yet, you don't know, everyone in this Xifu wants to let you be a concubine, isn't this a bad girl?" Xia Chang said that the 'agitation', if he was not careful, his hands would be stained with a large ball of ink, and he was very dirty and 'colored'.
"Oh? Being a concubine? 'Hua' Jiu heard this, and then raised her thin eyebrows, she thought for a while, and then smiled dumbly, "That's okay." ”
When Xia Chang heard this, she was stunned for a long time, she took a closer look at the face and "color" of "Hua" Jiu, and she didn't find that her girl was laughing at all The possibility of "sex", and then her face fell, "Girl, no, others say that it is better to be a poor wife than a rich concubine......"
'Hua' Jiu was funny, she glanced at Xia Chang angrily, "What are you doing with a little face, have you ever seen anyone who can force your girl?" ”
As soon as 'Hua' Jiu said this, Xia Chang thought about it, it seemed that there was really no such thing, which time it didn't depend on whether the girl was willing or not, "It's really good, the girl is the same as the fairy 'girl', and she can't be a concubine." ”
After Xia Chang said this, 'Hua' Jiu glanced at her, and the pen in his hand tapped at the center of her eyebrows, and immediately there was a little black ink, which was really happy.
"Concubine?" I didn't want to say what I just said, but I was listened to by Mr. Xi, who leaned against the 'door', and against the sunlight, a soft light that warmed people's hearts emanated dimly from him.
Xia Chang knew that when her girls were there, she didn't like them to serve by her side, so she bowed to Mr. Xi and withdrew.
"Yes, isn't your family saying that I will be a concubine for Xi Zixiao?" 'Hua' Jiu looked at it with disgust and no one grinded it, and the ink soon showed signs of drying up, so she threw away the 'hair' pen.
When the words fell, Mr. Xi's pale and slightly blue face wrinkled, and then he actually picked up the golden abacus and calculated, "The concubine loses, and the wife earns." ”
"So?" 'Hua' Jiu raised her eyebrows to look at her, but her pale 'color' eyes were on the golden abacus of the length of the palm, well, it should be more weighty and valuable, but if you bring something with you anytime and anywhere, haven't you been robbed?
"I wasn't robbed." Following the sight of 'Hua' Jiu, Mr. Xi's heart was clear, and a rare smile appeared on the 'lips' that had always been paralyzed, and then quickly disappeared, "So, be a wife." ”
"When will Xi Zixiao come back?" Wife and concubine or something, 'Hua' Jiu doesn't want to discuss, no matter what the identity is, this will only be decided after Xi Zixiao comes back, she just needs to think about it, at this time, the emperor probably already knows that Princess Yonghe married into the county palace, and the abacus of the 'Hua' family has failed, and it is estimated that it will be a lot of trouble.
She is actually not worried that someone will come to the 'Hua' Mansion to take her back, if she doesn't want to go back, there is naturally a way for the 'Hua' Mansion to give up. The only thing is that she was worried that the Son of Heaven in the Holy Court would be angry, so she 'messed' up the holy decree, and if she hadn't worshiped with Xi Zixiao at that time, she would have to obey the decree.
So, in fact, she was a little anxious.
Mr. Xi paused, he looked up and carefully looked at the 'color' of 'Hua' Jiu's face, and only after a while did he ask again, "Really married, Xi Zixiao?" Do you regret it? ”
The palm-sized little face was a little cold, and the tips of the nine lips of the 'flower' were slightly curled, and then she looked at Mr. Xi who was standing in the sun, and there was a 'yin' shadow in her heart that instantly expanded.
'Hua' Jiu didn't answer, Mr. Xi nodded, signaling that he knew the answer, and then raised the golden abacus in his hand and said leisurely, "Xi Zixiao, the five masters of Xifu 'privately' gave birth to children, the family ranks seventh, there is a mulberry garden, early words, on the day of marriage, the mulberry garden is the time to give it to his wife." ”
After finishing speaking, 'Hua' Jiu was stunned.
If so, then he insisted on marrying Princess Yonghe, this thought is worth speculating, if not, then Xi Zixiao can still have a mulberry garden alone in the family of a merchant who deals in silk, and he also said that this mulberry garden will be given to his wife in the future, she should say that he is bold or arrogant, and how does he know what kind of 'sex' his wife will be in the future.
Thinking like this, 'Hua' Jiu really couldn't associate such a bold act with the man who was not stained with dust, monk's robes, and was as clean as a fairy.
She always felt that there must be something more important in the middle that she didn't know, and that must be what Xi Zixiao had been trying to hide.
What kind of state of mind is behind the secluded Zen monk's robe.
When Hua Jiu came back to her senses, she only saw the swaying gold ingots on Mr. Xi's waist almost blinding her eyes under the rays of the sun, she quickly closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, there was no longer Mr. Xi's figure.
Unconsciously, she put Mr. Xi and Xi Zixiao together, and then she shook her head with a wrinkled face, a master outside the red dust, a most vulgar yellow and white figure in the world, it was really a world of difference.
"Girl, it's time to eat." Autumn Harvest's round head poked in through the 'door'.
'Hua' Jiu nodded, and said, "You go and talk to 'Chun' Sheng, and inquire about Xi Zixiao's mulberry garden." ”
Qiu Harvest nodded, shrank back like a ball, and prepared to serve the meal for his own girl first, and then go to find the 'spring' student.
You must know that in Dayin, the identity of 'illegal' children is very unpopular, and 'flower' Rong is an example, even if he is 'colorful', the people in the family will still not look at him.
But 'Hua' Jiu didn't expect that as soon as she entered the 'door', she hadn't yet married Xi Zixiao's main room, and the muddy water of the Xi family had already exploded, so she was shouting to send her back to the capital's 'Hua' Mansion or ask her to be a concubine, most of them were afraid that she would take Xi Zixiao's mulberry garden, which was also born as a businessman, and hated each other, which is naturally a normal reason.
And the mulberry garden is as important as the fragrant garden in the 'flower' mansion for Xifu, and it is the foundation of the family's existence.
'Hua' Jiu is not interested in the mulberry garden, she has already asked Mama Su to buy Xiaotangshan in Zhaozhou, besides, she doesn't understand silk, she doesn't care about a mulberry garden, but she is very interested in the process of how Xi Zixiao got this mulberry garden.
"This is the courtyard of the seventh prince of Xi, who allowed you unidentified sisters-in-law to live in?" At this time, there was a noise coming from the 'door' of the courtyard, mixed with the voice of Dongzang's slight grievance.
'Hua' Jiu's heart sank, and her little face immediately sank, how could her person be bullied by outsiders.
"It's the old lady Xi's permission, you go to the old lady to ......" Dongzang is also a person who refuses to admit defeat, even if he is small, his eyes are bullied red, and he insists on 'straightening' his back and arguing with the 'girl' in front of her who is taller than her.
"Who are you bluffing, who doesn't know that the old lady doesn't care about things now, the one in charge is now the uncle, the seventh prince is not there, when he leaves, let our girl help him take care of the yard, you get out quickly......" The 'girl' is wearing a light blue 'color' armor and a double bun on her head, which is just a 'girl'.
"Who rarely lives here, tell you, my girls are all beautiful, what kind of seventh son of you are not worthy." Dongzang was not to be outdone, but he seemed very stupid, and he didn't know what to say when scolding, so he picked up these and said it painlessly.
The maid sneered, and was about to say something, when the clinker was slapped in front of her, and before she could see it clearly, she was slapped two or three times, and her eyes were full of stars.
Dongzang looked back, but saw that his girl was opening her palms, blowing at her mouth, as if she was too hard, and she fanned herself, "Girl......"
Just like a child seeing his mother, seeing his own girl come out, Dongzang, a girl who was still a child, instantly turned redder, and almost cried out holding the nine arms of the 'flower', those who said bitterly that the nine names of the 'flower' were uncertain, and she felt more aggrieved than the 'flower' nine herself.
"Useless girl, if you dare to cry, I will send you away and sell it, and I will not fight back if I am bullied." 'Flower' Jiu said with a small face.
Dongzang sniffed, nodded heavily in response, and heard a soft voice like silk threads tightly entwined, "Little Peach, who hit you?" ”
'Hua' Jiu raised his eyes, and his eyes were very pale when he saw the pink-clothed 'girl' who suddenly appeared, his eyes were a little darker, "Aunt Yu Xuan, you have to be the master of the maid, obviously the seventh prince asked you to take care of the yard before leaving, and the maid will come to tell them, who would have thought they would beat people......"
Hearing this, the watery eyes of the pink-clothed 'woman' named Yu Xuan flowed, and there was a graceful temperament that made people itch, and she was another beauty.
"The concubine is in Xuan, and she is the seventh prince's room, I don't know who you are, girl?" Yu Xuan's 'lips' were also pink, she sipped towards 'Hua' Jiu, and people smiled as gently and softly as her voice.
"Seventh Prince? But Xi Zixiao? "The nine 'lips' of the 'flower' were a little sharper, and the almond's eyes had a smile as pure as an ice 'flower', which could sink into the ice water at the most beautiful time, and a trace of coldness emanated from her.
Very good, Xi Zixiao, the seventh in the Xi family, this is what Mr. Xi told her, Yu Xuan is his favorite concubine, it's really good.
She also thinks that he is an immortal outside of the red dust, and he pretends to be really like, but since he is a mortal, he is naturally better, and the voice of 'sex' dogs and horses will always be a weakness.
She is really looking forward to Xi Zixiao's return!
