Chapter 165: Red Sleeves and Fragrance (7)
Mrs. Ma smiled and waved her hand: "Being a matchmaker for people, that is to pay attention to conscience, we are worthy of the sky, worthy of the earth, the newcomer has a happy life, our reputation and silver are grasped with both hands, and the heart is comfortable, isn't it?" ”
"Yes, yes, Aunt Ma has a far-reaching view than our little people," Yu Yuan immediately answered.
"Mrs. Ji is a talker, and my aunt is comfortable when she listens to it, you should know why your aunt is here today, right? Then let's not go around in circles, my aunt is saying goodbye to your sister-in-law Ji Ranjia, and she is talking about Gu Sifan, the Xie Yuanlang we just came out! Mrs. Ma shook her fan and said with a smile, her eyes satisfied to see Yu Yuan's stunned expression.
"It was our Gu Xie Yuan who personally found my aunt and asked me to make sure to promote the marriage. He was sincere, and said that he had been thinking about Miss Ji for a long time, but he had never had a chance to speak, and he ran into your girl entering the palace, and he staggered for six years with a mistake. He originally thought that he would wait for Miss Ji to leave the palace when she reached the age of twenty-five before mentioning her relatives, but he didn't expect that Miss Ji would have the opportunity to leave the palace in advance.
Gu Xie Yuan is not picky, he is handsome and talented, humble and polite, and now he is a master in Qin Feng Academy, with one or two silver coins every month. If Miss Ji marries in the past, no one dares to bully Xie Yuan's wife. ”
Mrs. Ma told Yu Yuan in detail about Gu Sifan's own conditions.
Gu Jieyuan said that he only took one scoop of weak water for 3,000, which means that he only has one lady in his life, Miss Ji, and he will not take a concubine. Mrs. Ji, do you think, Gu Xie Yuan is only twenty-three years old, and it is only a matter of time to get a lifter, and when the time comes, Miss Ji will be the official's wife, and there are no miscellaneous people in the back house, how good is that?
He said that there was some trouble in his family, but he would go out separately as soon as possible, and he would never let Miss Ji be wronged.
Gu Xie Yuan also specially explained, if you are dissatisfied or unclear about something, bring it up directly, and the two sides will discuss it with each other. ”
Yu Yuan said in his heart Yes, this Gu Xie Yuan has long been eyeing his sister-in-law, if the two of them can succeed, it is really the fate between them.
It seemed that they couldn't find a better candidate in front of them, she frowned slightly, and thought for a while, "Auntie, I have to discuss with my family, and I also have to ask my sister's opinion, do you think this will work." When we have the results, let my family go directly to the town and talk back to your aunt. ”
"Okay, the major events in life are to think about it carefully," Mrs. Ma nodded and said very kindly: "Mrs. Ji, if you can trust your aunt's reputation, and your aunt will tell you something from your heart, Gu Jieyuan is definitely not a thing in the pool, he is not an ordinary person, and sooner or later he will fly out of our town."
At that time, the daughter of the official family, and even the princess of the county will rush to get married.
It is definitely not an exaggeration for the aunt to say this, you have to take it seriously, and if there are problems, you can solve them, but don't miss the fate of the two young people. ”
Yu Yuan nodded again and again, "Auntie, don't worry, we will definitely hope that my sister is doing well." ”
She personally sent Ma Matchmaker to the entrance of the village, turned back and called Ji Weihai in her own field.
The two of them rushed back while talking, and when they heard her say that it was Gu Sifan who invited the matchmaker to go to the house to propose marriage, Ji Weihai was also stunned for a long time, "The fourth brother Gu really took a fancy to our sister?" ”
He didn't know how to react for a while, on the one hand, he felt that his sister was so good that he didn't even deserve the prince, and on the other hand, he thought that they were from a small family, could they marry Xie Yuanlang?
"Stupid," Yu Yuan pinched his arm, "This is our sister's blessing." ”
"Yes, yes," Ji Weihai smiled, "You go and ask what the sister means, the four ancient brothers are good in everything, I don't have to say." ”
Yu Yuan entered the courtyard and went straight to Ji Ranjia's house, kicked out Ji Xiaoye, who was full of eagerness to listen, and directly repeated the words of Ma Matchmaker just now almost word for word, and she looked at Ji Ranjia's face quietly.
Ji Ranjia also looked out the window in a daze, she really wanted to ask if she couldn't be mistaken. But the matchmaker has come to the door, so it shouldn't be wrong. She really couldn't imagine that Gu Sifan had this thought about herself, was it because he rejected the marriage of so many noble girls in his previous life?
Her little face was a little pale, and she didn't have much joy, she finally escaped back from Kyoto, did she have to follow Gu Sifan again?
Ji Ranjia clenched the embroidered handkerchief in her hand, with a chill all over her body. There are two villains in his heart, one said that there was indeed no woman in Gu Sifan's back house in the previous life, and he also handed her a note to help her, this will be a good person who does what he says, and protects her for a lifetime; One said no, how fortunate a man is, he doesn't necessarily cherish it when he gets it, he was promoted to serve the emperor step by step in his previous life, and his future is bright, it is inevitable that he will be tainted by power and wealth.
But what about the others?
The human heart is the most unpredictable, how can she conclude that others must be better than him?
Anyway, he seems to have her in his heart at the moment, but he really didn't have a woman in his previous life, so ......
She sighed slightly, she was in a dilemma, but she loved herself too much. Since there is no other better option, why should he? It's just that it's a big gamble, and you won't lose in your previous life.
Seeing Ji Ranjia's helplessness in accepting her fate, Yu Yuan was a little distressed, "Sister, if you don't agree, let's find out slowly." The world is so big, there are always people who make you happy. Getting married is a lifelong thing, and you can't be sloppy or reluctantly. ”
"Sister-in-law, I understand," Ji Ranjia chuckled, yes, I've just been out of the palace for half a month, so I'm not in a hurry, right? "The sister-in-law helped me go back to the matchmaker first, saying that Ran Jia had not served before her parents were there, and now the filial piety period is still half a year away, and Ran Jia wants to fulfill her last filial piety."
Yu Yuan nodded, knowing that he was a little too anxious with the man, marriage is a major event in the girl's life, and it is not that the person will be able to give the girl happiness if he is good. "Sister-in-law understands, don't worry, sister-in-law and your brother will definitely find you a good husband within half a year!"
"Then bother the eldest brother and sister-in-law to worry more about their sister," Ji Ranjia pursed her lips and smiled, just taking advantage of half a year to take care of the Ji family, even if she gets married, the Ji family's life can be prosperous.
Gu Sifan looked at the gorgeous silk flowers in the brocade box that had faded because of the dyeing years, and he didn't know what he was obsessed with. He has only been touched twice in his not too long life, one is the books that hide Baichuan, and the other is the beautiful and bright smile that has endured hardships.
That smile was not only in his memory, but also faded like a silk flower in reality.
But not only did he not give up, but he was even more sure of his idea of marrying Ji Ranjia as his wife, and the glimpse in his mind almost became his inner demon and affected his mind.
His eyes were filled with ink, his thin lips were straightened, he had missed an opportunity, this time no matter what method he used, he would imprison people by his side!
But in half a year, he wanted to see what reason she was looking for at that time.
The weather is gradually getting warmer, the sun is shining with a cheerful atmosphere, Ji Ranjia stayed in the yard, never went out, and after helping her sister-in-law with Ye Zi to share the housework, she taught the two babies and Ye Zi to read and write in the morning, take a nap, teach Ye Zi Zi in the afternoon, and usually have three meals a day She will also carefully teach what she has learned to Ye Zi.
The little girl is young, but like her before, she is high-spirited and very assertive. Ji Ranjia did not directly hit Ji Xiaoye, but told the little girl about her affairs in the palace and what she heard about what happened in Kyoto at night. She hopes that through her own personal experience and hearing, she can increase Ji Xiaoye's experience and smooth out the stupidity and innocence of her newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers.
Ji Ranjia has learned a lot of things in the palace, and their family is backed by a mountain, which is equivalent to guarding a natural treasure house. There were many herbs at the foot of the mountain that the villagers did not recognize, and she carefully sketched their shapes with a pen and handed them to the leaves.
The little girl likes to carry a baby on her back and lead one with her friends, and take her friends to find herbs. There are many kinds of herbs, most of them are scattered and cheap, and even if the villagers recognize them, they don't bother to earn candy money with their children.
Ji Xiaoye picked herbs and carefully processed them to dry, and he was able to pick a sharp basket in the evening, and after drying, he could have five or six catties, and sold three copper plates in the sky. But while she took the baby to play, she could earn some pocket money, and she also established a very high prestige among her friends. Almost as soon as she raised her arms, most of the children in the village followed her with baskets and set off for the foot of the mountain farther away.
After she had filled the yard with all the places where herbs could be dried, Ji Xiaoye made an appointment with her friends to carry the processed herbs to the town's medical hall to sell them. What Ji Ranjia taught her were common and commonly used types of herbs, which were handled properly and cleanly, and they were tied up one by one according to the types.
The people in the medical hall made an exception and accepted it directly, and with a good start, and got a hundred copper plates, Ji Xiaoye's enthusiasm was even more sufficient, and he frequently went back and forth to the medical center in the town.
"Sister, sister," Ji Xiaoye trotted all the way into the yard with his sleeve pockets tightly in both hands, and jumped into the house without stopping while shouting in a low voice. Her little face was flushed, the broken hair on her forehead was stained with some sweat and clinging to her skin, and her black and white eyes were full of excitement: "The young owner of the medical hall is here, I happened to bump into him today, he is handsome, and his temper is good, I heard that his medical skills are particularly superb." ”
Ji Ranjia poured her a glass of warm boiled water, beckoned her to sit down and rest, pursed her lips and quipped: "What do people have to do with you?" Do you have an extra copper plate for every catty of herbs? ”
"Sister," Ji Xiaoye puffed out her cheeks dissatisfied, "They are your own sister-in-law, and they are also paying attention to you." ”
"Notice what?" Ji Ranjia didn't react for a while, and asked casually.
"Naturally, it's my future brother-in-law!" This time it was Ji Xiaoye's turn to joke, she grinned and said: "Anyway, the young owner of the medical hall is Xie Yuan in the doctor, and his character and appearance are all passable, and he can support his sister with his ability." ”
