Chapter 170: Red Sleeves and Fragrance (12)
Ji Ranjia had a hint of joy in her eyes, if she could live in a small courtyard with Gu Sifan and the others, it would be a good thing to leave this big family to live her own small life.
The two of them were usually talking about Gu Erxi, and Ji Ranjia listened quietly, occasionally replying to the previous sentence softly.
As he was talking, the door was squeaked open, Gu Erxi looked at it, and laughed out: "Fourth brother, it's stupid to just stand there and look at the new daughter-in-law, don't you plan to lift the hijab?" Don't you drink the sake anymore? It's the first time I've seen you like this, so I really have to stay and see how much the new daughter-in-law looks like this, so that the fourth brother you will marry in a hurry in less than two months. ”
Gu Sifan coughed lightly, his fair face flashed uncomfortable, and after drinking some wine, his voice was darkened: "Second sister, brother-in-law left you a lot of food, if you don't go, you can be taken away by your sister-in-law." ”
As soon as he heard this, Gu Erxi immediately stood up, rolled his sleeves and snorted: "She dares!" She also remembered these few bites, which was really promising. With that, she said hello to Ji Ranjia and walked away, where is the idle feeling that she just joked.
As soon as the person left, Gu Sifan closed the door and put down the bolt with a bang, hearing Ji Ranjia clutching the futon under him, his heart beating extremely fast, as if he was about to jump out of his throat, which was unprecedented tension and panic in the two lives. Her little face was full of shyness, and her mind struggled to figure out the intersection of the two worlds several times, and finally fixed the burning kiss in the small kitchen.
The hijab was slammed open by a slender and bony hand, she subconsciously looked up, the man's hair was black and neatly tied with a black hairband inlaid with red jade, his handsome facial features were lined with a wedding dress and were extremely joyful, his eyebrows stretched and stared at her, his eyes were dark and full of fine morning light, and the thin lip flap couldn't help but rise in arc.
She lowered her eyelids and bit her lip, not knowing what to do with him.
He sat beside her with two glasses of wine, handed over one, and said in a deep voice: "I know that marrying me wronged you, but don't worry, I will give everything I have to let you live a good life." Trust me, huh? ”
As he spoke, he held Ji Ranjia's hand to take the wine glass, and put the two glasses of wine into his mouth, and the glasses landed firmly on the table in the center of the room as soon as he threw them at will. He hugged Ji Ranjia tightly and fell on the bed, his eyes were printed with the candlelight on the table with an indescribable shattering, his hand caressed her white and small ears, looked at the long neck and beautiful side face, and drank the wine with her domineeringly.
Ji Ranjia's mind has been chaotic since she started drinking, everything happened naturally, and she was not allowed to resist in the slightest. In the ups and downs, she suddenly remembered what a lady said, women are like fish, and men's favor is water, if the fish leaves the water, then it can only wait for the end of life in despair in dryness.
Yes, this is a patriarchal world, whether poor or rich, women can only guard the yard the size of a palm. There is so little they can hope for, so little that they just want to have a sincere heart. It's just that she is unwilling and doesn't want to pick up the life she picked up, and she entrusts everything she has to a man. Maybe Gu Sifan is full of himself at this moment, but a woman's youth is too short, when Shaohua passes, who can guarantee that everything will be as before?
At the very least, she couldn't sink into the illusion he had weaved.
In the end, she fell asleep, and when she opened her eyes, she looked at the red cloth tent, and her mind couldn't turn around for a while, and she was stunned to meet the man's wild and revived eyes, and it took a long time to come back to her senses, and hug the quilt tightly with a shy face.
Although she was not wearing an inch under the futon, she was refreshing and tight, Ji Ranjia's face was even redder, the room was bright, and the two thick and long candles were still burning, occasionally sparkling.
"You, why didn't you call me?" She sat up with the quilt a little anxiously, and it was not good to dress in front of him, her eyes were red, and her delicate appearance made Gu Sifan couldn't help but take the person into her arms and kiss her fiercely.
"I don't want to," he muffled, looking up as she was about to burst into tears.
Reluctant, reluctant to be able to toss her hard last night?
She lowered her head and didn't dare to glare at him, nudged him and said, "You go out first, I'll get dressed." ”
Gu Sifan kissed her forehead with pity, and sighed lightly: "Don't worry, I poured a lot of wine on them all last night, and they haven't gotten up yet." ”
Ji Ranjia blinked in surprise and looked up at him, she and her sister-in-law expected that there would be a tough battle to fight today, but they didn't expect that he had already taken action to settle half of it for her. She had never known that there was such a crude but extremely effective solution, and she couldn't help but chuckle, "Thank you." ”
The smile was very shallow, shallow like the ripples of a tender yellow willow leaf floating into the spring lake, cutting off the warmth of the year. He took a deep breath, looked greedily, and suddenly understood the absurdity of the emperor in the book to laugh at the princes for the favored concubine, if it was him, I am afraid it would not be much better.
"There is no need to thank each other," he held Ji Ranjia's hand tightly, rubbed it carefully, and said softly: "Daughter-in-law, I hope you will be blessed to marry me, instead of being tortured." I couldn't choose where I came from, they were my relatives, they raised me and raised me and provided me with education.
But there is a degree of nurturing grace, and I will not let them ask for it, let alone let them bully you. ”
Ji Ranjia pursed her lips, she knew that even the emperor couldn't escape a filial piety, let alone him. Just listen to it yourself, if she really believed him, she would have been called Bai Huo in the previous life.
She lowered her eyelids slightly, telling herself that she could marry him, serve his parents for him, and have children for him, but she must keep her heart and not expect too much. Otherwise, she will follow in the footsteps of her previous life in this life.
Gu Sifan suddenly pinched her chin with a gloomy face, forcing her to look at herself, "You don't believe me? ”
Ji Ranjia's eyes trembled slightly, her face was a little pale, and she chuckled: "I believe it." ”
The heart said, the man really couldn't be trusted, and then he showed his original face.
He tightly wrapped the person in his arms and said hatefully in her ear: "Ji Ranjia, you have already married me, no matter what reason you had to make this decision in the first place." You are now my person, and you can only pretend to be me physically and mentally, sharing glory and disgrace with me. ”
"I know," she still smiled.
But this kind of laughter was different from the beginning, so if he wanted to tear it off with his hands, he buried his head weakly in her fragrant neck, gritted his teeth and said: "Daughter-in-law, our marriage is a lifelong thing, live a good life, okay?" ”
Ji Ranjia looked at the flickering candlelight and hummed, she finally returned to the beginning, how could she not live a good life? It's just that her heart is cold, and it's hard for her to feel the warmth outside of her family.
The two hugged each other for a while, and she pushed him and whispered shyly, "I'm not dressed yet." ”
The man's breathing was a little heavier, and he slammed himself up, returning to his usual cold appearance, "I'll go get you some warm water." ”
When the man left, she quickly put on her underwear, and then she could see the appearance of the house.
This room is not big, it is the most common thatched house in the village, a solid wood bed, a simple set of tables and chairs, and the rest is all the furniture that the Ji family gave her, as well as sixteen large wooden boxes and sixteen small wooden boxes neatly stacked on a wall next to each other.
Although she knew that Gu Sifan usually ate and stayed in the academy, she was still a little disappointed when she saw that it was so simple and only hung with a red cloth tent and a pair of dragon and phoenix candles on the table.
She hurriedly found a gradient crimson cardigan thin cotton skirt from the box, which became darker from top to bottom, with her porcelain white and smooth face, like a peach blossom blooming wantonly, spitting fragrant stamens. She pulled up her bun and put on a pink jade and silver fork.
Gu Sifan coughed lightly outside the door with the basin, then pushed the door in, looking at the gentle and elegant woman sitting in front of the dresser, her eyes were dyed with some temperature, "Wash up, there is movement in Daddy's room." ”
Ji Ranjia blushed and carefully washed her face and hands under his gaze, took the brush he handed over to rub salt, and brushed her teeth and rinsed her mouth with the warm water in the cup. After being refreshed, she endured her stumbling steps, dodged his support and walked out slowly.
Yesterday it was still warm, but today the north wind blew, and late autumn stepped into thousands of households.
The air in her nose was cold, and Ji Ranjia couldn't help but shiver when she came out of the house, and her whole person couldn't be more energetic.
The Gu family only has a front yard, raising more than a dozen hens and two flower pigs, and the remaining two points of land are all planted with vegetables. What made Ji Ranjia a little unbearable was that the thatched toilet of the Gu family was next to the pigsty. She could only comfort herself and go to live in the town when she got back.
Three main rooms, three in the east and west compartments, are not too large thatched houses, the stove is next to the west wing room with a few sticks and thatch to build, extremely simple, barely sheltered from the wind and rain.
She walked in with her sleeves rolled up, the kitchen was dark, and by the light that came through the narrow door, she looked at the dishes and dishes piled up and down the stove, and her head ached.
"You cook first, don't worry about this," Gu Sifan bent in, sat on the small horse and rolled up his sleeves and brushed his head.
"I'll come," Ji Ranjia wanted to step forward to get the bowl in his hand, but was dodged.
"I said that I am not a person who does not work hard and does not distinguish between grains and grains, and there was not much oil and water in the meal last night, so I just washed it twice. I'm moving fast, keeping you finished cooking and they haven't finished washing before opening the house. "He moved very quickly, and he washed the two of them when he spoke.
She couldn't compete with him, thinking that the future would be long, but she would see how long he could last.
Although there wasn't much oil and water at last night's banquet, the pots and dishes were still bright, and she didn't need to worry about eating the leftovers that others had sandwiched. She hasn't had a hard life for a long time, she still has some money in her hands, and she also has the skills to earn money continuously, so Ji Ranjia didn't think about marrying and wronging herself in life.
