Chapter 173: Red Sleeves and Fragrance (15)
Gu Sifan took a deep breath, he thought that he had been hit a lot by all sides over the years, and he was able to control the leaking emotions, but in front of her, all his efforts were in vain.
"If she asks for silver, you will give it, how many years have those clothes been worn, patches and patches, just give her one percent, and you will report the accounts to me when you go back, and I will settle them." He grinded his teeth and said lightly.
"Isn't that taking advantage of her? She even let me do the laundry! Ji Ranjia hummed.
"At most, let's compensate according to the standard of pawnshop death, and see how many clothes she has to spoil enough. As long as money can solve the problem, it doesn't matter. ”
"How could your mother let me decide to pay compensation? It's good that she doesn't open her mouth," she rubbed her forehead helplessly, and continued to turn and walk, comparing herself with the poor scholar. It is difficult for a Qing official to judge family affairs, and no matter how talented he is in the eyes of the emperor, he can't figure out the relationship between his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Gu Sifan grabbed her arm and held the person tightly in his arms, "Daughter-in-law, as long as you are hard, she will not dare to do anything to you." You are the daughter-in-law of the Gu family, and you must have your own position and rules when getting along with your family. As long as you grab the other person's seven inches, then not only will the other party not force you, but you can in turn make demands. ”
"She's your mother, just say you're not, then your future is gone, don't you care? Will you still teach me how to deal with her? Ji Ranjia pursed her lips and raised her head to look at him, her expression was extremely serious and solemn: "In the future, if you want to participate in the examination, you may still get a huiyuan, and then take the palace examination, maybe you will get another champion." Your mother's words may shatter everything you can reach, are you willing? ”
Gu Sifan buried his head in her neck and laughed under his breath, passing from the tremor in his chest to the tip of her heart.
She thought that a person who didn't laugh much, once he laughed, it was very contagious, and she was very overwhelmed, so she pushed him: "What are you laughing at? You don't know how many people cross the single-plank bridge on the road to the imperial examination, and many people can't even reach the shore under all kinds of harsh conditions. ”
"Are you caring about me? For me, endure humiliation in front of my mother, yes or no? He said with a deep smile, and his chin rested on her thin shoulder, soft in his arms, which was indeed discouraged.
Ji Ranjia was embarrassed, she didn't think deeply about what kind of feelings she had for him, and she didn't dare. She had never seen such a scoundrel man, so she could only stare at the tender flesh around his waist with her cheeks puffed out.
The man looked thin, no one knew better than her what kind of lean body was under this clothes, and when she felt the hot temperature in her palms, her face turned even redder, and she held her nails fiercely.
Gu Sifan didn't pay attention to her strength at all, and took her to the forest for a while, standing next to a bluestone in a bamboo forest. He sat on the floor and dragged the woman into his arms.
"Daughter-in-law, I'm glad you thought of this for me. There are few comparisons in your appearance in the whole of China, and only by going to officialdom and standing above ten thousand people under one person can you protect your life with peace of mind. If your man can't even solve the problems you said, it doesn't matter if you don't take the imperial examination. He played with her delicate fingers and chuckled, "Although I can protect you all the time, it is impossible to be around you for twelve hours a day, so you must also learn to deal with problems, and don't let yourself be a poor little child who is bullied." ”
Ji Ranjia was very curious about how much he was capable of, but her awkward heart made her face tense and pretend not to care.
Gu Sifan pinched her little face and coaxed lightly: "Okay, you beg me, I'll tell you my mother's seven inches." ”
"If I love to say it or not, it's a big deal that I'll be an unfilial daughter-in-law, and if I can't do it, I'll be taken home." As soon as she finished speaking, the whole person was flipped over and pressed against the bluestone.
The coldness on the hard stone spread from her back through the not-too-thick skirt, and she looked at Gu Sifan's dark face, biting her lower lip and turning her face away, her heart beating fast without a breath. This man is even more fickle than June, and who knows which sentence will poke his taboo.
Suddenly, Ji Ranjia remembered what everyone had said to the ancient commander at that banquet, and he took Sanyuan into his arms at a young age, and won the emperor's favor with his amazing talent. It stands to reason that Zhuang Yuanlang is a civil official, but he was sent by the emperor to lead the Jinyi Guard, and became a sharp blade hanging over the heads of the prince's ministers.
It is said that he was cold and cruel, killed his mother and killed his brother and six relatives and did not recognize it, and the children in the imperial city did not dare to cry at night when they heard his name. His heart was black, cold and hard, and his hands were stained with the blood of thousands of people, from the old man to the unkempt child. When all the princes saw him, they had to respectfully shout Gu Siye.
They said that Gu Sifan was a lonely star, destined to be lonely and not die well in his life!
She was cold, how could she provoke him?
"You know you're scared?" His voice was cold as if he was swimming from a cold pool, and his fingertips crossed her round ears, "Ji Ranjia, let me say it again, you are the only wife in my life, unless I die, you will have to become a corpse to accompany me even if you die." ”
It was a little overcast and cold, and the wind whistled through the trees, engulfing the cold.
The palace looks dignified and extravagant, full of brilliance, but each palace is not big, and the words are still slightly echoed, and the sound of the wind is particularly earthy. There are too many pickled things in the palace, and there are not a few corpses in the well that are so soaked that they can't be recognized?
All kinds of stories of unjust ghosts are widely spread in the world of them, and after hearing a lot, she also believes a little, plus she is reborn, and it is not much different from borrowing a corpse to return the soul.
Gu Sifan's words were really scary, as long as she closed her eyes and thought about it, she could be frightened by the appearance of herself becoming a dry corpse.
"Don't let me hear you say that you are abandoned, or I will break your legs, do you say?"
Ji Ranjia's teeth chattered, and she endured the trembling on her body, "You, you're crazy!" ”
"Yes, the moment you provoked me, I was already crazy." His eyes were red, and he couldn't see her frightened and hateful eyes, so he directly covered the annoying red lips and swallowed her hurtful words.
At noon they did not go back to eat, Gu Sifan found a nest of wild duck eggs, a rabbit and a pheasant, and took a knife by the river to clean up the wild animals, caught another fish, and took out a nest of honey.
Ji Ranjia looked at the clay pot he took out from under the bluestone, smelling the fragrance of the fish soup, and her memory shuttled for a long time, before she entered the palace in her previous life, when she had no skin and no face to rely on him to take his younger brothers and sisters to eat and drink.
There was also Xiao Ye's fall on the clay pot, she sighed lightly in her heart, thinking that the two of them were fateful, and she owed him more after all. Now that they are husband and wife, why should she stay out of it?
At least he is young and beautiful now, can he protect her for a long time?
Gu Sifan's craftsmanship was not said, and all the unhappiness in her heart was swallowed into her stomach, and she squinted her eyes with satisfaction, like a delicate little milk cat.
"With me, you don't need to be restrained, if you like it, let's eat it every once in a while, it's not a rare thing." He smiled and handed over the honey rabbit leg, where is the shadow of the god just now?
Ji Ranjia touched her slightly bulging belly, tangled it for a while, but she still couldn't stand the temptation of food and took it, and she ate very happily.
After eating, they walked towards the house one after the other, just pushed open the door, and waited for the ancient mother who was dozing off against the door of the hall to jump up suddenly, and said sharply to Ji Ranjia who was empty-handed: "Where are the clothes you washed in the fourth family?" ”
"Washed away by the water," with the man behind her back, she replied crisply and neatly.
"Clothes washed away?" As soon as she heard this, Gu Mu was so angry that she almost fell down, she pointed at Ji Ranjia for a long time before gritting her teeth and saying, "You still have the face to come back, why haven't you been washed away by the water?" ”
Ji Ranjia chuckled and replied softly: "Because I have hands and feet." ”
"Okay, it's the first time I've seen a daughter-in-law like you, tonight, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, you'll be hungry! If you don't give me a good reflection and admit my mistakes, I'm not allowed to eat. If the clothes are gone, you take out ten taels of silver as compensation. She gasped for a long breath, thought about it secretly, and snorted coldly.
"You can skip the meal, but mother-in-law, I don't have any money. Isn't my father-in-law's monthly money with you? You just buckle it from the inside," Ji Ranjia finished speaking, and without waiting for Gu Mu's reaction, she went into her room.
Gu's mother was stunned, she was the eldest in the family besides Gu's father, and the daughters who were married to the third child had to hold her and buy her clothes and snacks. Why didn't the fourth family take her as a mother-in-law at all!
Just as Gu Sifan slowly entered the courtyard, her eyes narrowed and her hands were covered, and she cried whining: "Si'er, my mother is alive without face, why do you say that my old woman who stepped into the coffin one by one still provoked people's eyes?" I'll let your daughter-in-law do the laundry, see if she is doing her work, and let her take care of you.
But she was good, she went to the river to wash clothes with a basin, and even threw the basin and clothes into the river for me. ”
"Mother, don't worry, I'll take her away, disobedient and beaten eighteen times a day, keep me telling her to go west, she doesn't dare to go east!" Saying that, Gu Sifan clenched his fists with a gloomy face, and shouted: "Ji Ranjia, you come out for me!" He went straight into the house.
Gu Mu was stunned again, she just didn't want the fourth family to follow, why didn't she even stay at home when she went back? Isn't that a joke for the neighbors to see? I have to say that she is incompetent as a mother-in-law, and her son is taken by the new daughter-in-law, where will her face go?
"No, let your daughter-in-law be at home, I'll teach her a lesson for you," she hurriedly chased after her, but what responded to her was the sturdy door.
Ji Ranjia has always had the habit of taking a nap, she almost didn't sleep the day before yesterday, and she got up early today, and her eyelids have already fought with her lower eyelids.
