Chapter 170: Bao Qi's Betrothal (1)
Although this bead that emerged from the box of Chen Guogong's mansion was crystal clear, dazzling, and radiant. At first glance, it is worth a lot of money, and it is worth a lot of money.
But the question is, what is it?
Although everyone agrees that this is the "Blood Orchid Pearl", is it really?
Among these people, one counts as one, who has ever seen the "Blood Lanzhu"?
And who knows if it's really a "Blood Bead"?
In other words, even if it's a "Blood Bead", how do you use it?
Also, the symbols on the sheepskin are even more strange, Aunt Pan looked at it and said that there were ancient symbols in it. But for the rest, I don't know what is written.
Ji Jun really wants to sing at the moment:
What do I want this iron rod for?
What if I have this change!
Still uneasy, still melancholy!
The golden hoop is the head, and I want to say goodbye!
When everyone was staring at this "precious bead" at a loss, they saw Peony "whoosh" and cut a small cut on the index finger of his left hand.
Ji Jun grinned at first sight, what is this going to do!
Peony to all people,
"If you have dates or not, hit a shot first! It's not as good as the tiger's den, but the tiger! I can't give up the child and can't trap the wolf! Try it with my blood! But don't blame me if you destroy the beads! ”
Everyone was stunned, and the blood on the peony's fingers dripped onto the beads!
It's time to witness the miracle!
The beads slowly glow with a light red glow!
"Ahh Zhou Biao exclaimed.
Ji Jun and Ji Xun looked at him in unison,
"Shizi, do you know something?"
Zhou Biao's face was still shocked,
"It's amazing! So beautiful! ”
Go aside!
Soon after Liuli got married, the news of Bao Qi's marriage came out from the Huai'an Hou Mansion.
Ji Jun and Ji Xun didn't care much, that is, they prepared two more makeup gifts.
However, on this day, Aunt Zhuo came to Danguiyuan with a little preoccupation, took out a few delicately embroidered silk handkerchiefs, and asked Ji Jun to help sell them, saying that it was to make a dowry for Baoqi.
Although Bao Qi is not Aunt Zhuo's flesh and blood, after all, they have lived together for many years, and although Bao Qi is snobbish and stingy, she is not bad to Aunt Zhuo.
At least, when Su Jin bullied Aunt Zhuo, Bao Qian sometimes chose to stand by and protect herself, but after all, she never helped Su Jin harm Aunt Zhuo.
Aunt Zhuo is grateful for Bao Qi's thoughts, she and Su Jin are endless enemies of each other, Su Jin was in the limelight at the time, and it was not easy for Bao Qi not to fall into the ground.
Bao Qian lives in the Hou Mansion, like duckweed, and he can't control his own destiny, let alone stand up for others.
Aunt Zhuo is more considerate of Bao Qi, and now that Bao Qi is getting married, she also wants to show a little bit of her heart.
Ji Jun thought that maybe Aunt Zhuo felt that after Bao Qian got married, she would be the only one left, and it was inevitable that she would be sentimental. After thinking about it, he said to Ji Chen,
"Later, let's go and send Aunt Zhuo a thousand taels of silver tickets, which were sold by our shop."
Ji Chen frowned and said,
"Such a handkerchief, although it is made of fine brocade, and Aunt Zhuo's embroidery is good, but it is difficult to sell it at this price, at most two hundred taels. Do you think Aunt Zhuo can believe it? ”
Ji Yun blinked, pretending to be "Lai" on Ji Xun and said,
"So, let's go together! It's definitely not okay for the maid to go, it's enough for me to go, with you, I'm not afraid! Using this opportunity to let Aunt Zhuo have some silver to carry around, it can be regarded as a little more down-to-earth. ”
Ji Xi smiled helplessly.
Later, it is more convenient to avoid the crowds.
Aunt Zhuo's Fanghua lives in the northeast corner of the Hou Mansion, which is relatively remote.
Ji Jun and Ji Xun went all the way, and basically didn't see a few people.
Peony couldn't help but wonder,
"Miss, why is it cold, not like you want to do a happy event?"
Begonia to Mai Dong Road,
"Young Master Xianglin over there wants to take a concubine, maybe they all went over there!"
Also, one is the young master of the Hou Mansion, and the other is the adopted daughter, which is more important, it's obvious!
There was no one guarding the door of Fanghuaju, the gate was open, and there were no servants and maids in the yard.
Looking inward, Aunt Zhuo's room was dark, could it be that Aunt Zhuo went out to visit the door? Or is it resting?
Several people involuntarily slowed down.
Do you go in or turn back?
Mai Dong whispered,
"Miss, I'll take a look, if there's an accident, we'll leave immediately!"
Ji Jun nodded,
"Be careful!"
Mai Donggang wanted to go in and investigate, but unexpectedly, Aunt Zhuo approached a few people from behind.
"Auntie, how are you?" Ji Xi was puzzled when she saw Aunt Zhuo coming around from behind.
Aunt Zhuo hurriedly waved her hand to let Ji Chen whisper, and then she whispered,
"Master Hou has something to talk to Bao Qi, let me go out with the maids. I asked the maids to go to Aunt Sun's yard, and I walked around the neighborhood myself, seeing you coming, I was worried that you would run into it, and I didn't dare to shout, so I hurried over to tell you. ”
Ji Jun glanced at Ji Xun, and then said to Aunt Zhuo with a smile,
"Auntie, we've never been here tonight, have we?"
The main house of Fanghuaju is where Aunt Zhuo lives, the east wing is where Bao Qian lives, and the west wing is located in a more remote location, with some books in it.
It's okay to count the study, and it's okay to count the living room for receiving guests.
Because of the good light there, sometimes, Aunt Zhuo will do some needlework there, even if it is an embroidery room.
Ji Jun and Ji Yan quietly approached the window, which was half-hidden, just suitable for eavesdropping.
I only listened to Baojiang crying,
"Uncle, you promised me, you said that although I am fostered in the Huai'an Hou Mansion, I may not be as noble as the concubine when I get married, but I admit it. At that time, you said to my father and mother that you would wait for the beginning of this autumn to catch my son-in-law. I also know that the talents on the list will definitely be favored by many people, and I also said that I am willing to be the one who falls first. As long as it is, the family background is innocent, and I don't worry about food and clothing, I am willing, I don't ask for it, what an excellent character. ”
Bao Qi knelt on the ground, twitched and continued,
"You also said that if you are lucky and catch up with that kind of poor child and become a jinshi, even if the two of them start from scratch in the future, they can get better and live a slow life. Coarse tea and light rice, and the niece did not complain. But now that you want to marry me to an old man who is older than you, my niece really can't accept it! ”
Ji Yun's eyes widened like copper bells, and he looked at Aunt Zhuo, who nodded sadly and helplessly.
Hong Peiju sighed and said,
"Bao Qi's niece and nephew, although you are not my biological daughter, you have been raised in my name all these years, and there is no doubt about my biological daughter. I do, among the girls in the whole house, I have a slight preference for Liuli and Yuyan, but you have to think about it, what is the excessive difference between you and Yuxuan and Meilin? At least in my heart, you are the same as them, but now the situation is stronger than others, Concubine Jiao Xian is pressed down, I really have no choice! You're just a poor uncle! Count uncle, please! ”
Bao Qi stopped crying,
"Uncle, I can't do it! I can't! As you said, you want to find me a husband who I am satisfied with, this old man, I am not satisfied, I am not satisfied! You said it! ”
Hong Peiju looked at Bao Qi coldly and disdainfully,
"Did I say that? Well, that's what I said, but I don't admit it now, so what? ”
Ji Chen's hands were clenched tightly into a fist, listening to Hong Peiju's rogue words, although he couldn't see his expression, he could imagine how shameless he was.
Bao Qi was so anxious that she cried again,
"Uncle, you can't deny it, you can't deny it! You promised me, your dignified lord, how can you talk and not count? You were right! If you didn't say that, I wouldn't have come to the Hou Mansion with you! I can live very well in my hometown in the countryside, and the scholar I married is now also promoted, we slowly live an ordinary life, and he will not be admitted to the Jinshi before we can afford him, even if he is not in the Jinshi, we can live a peaceful life in peace! It's me you promised, you promise me! You said that when you arrived in the capital, you want to find me a high-ranking household, and you want me to enter a high-ranking household. Woooooo ”
HONG Peiju Road,
"That's right, I let you into the big house! This is a proper wealthy family, that is the uncle of the virtuous concubine! After you get married, you are a well-deserved relative of the emperor, what do you want, the daughter of a small rural rich man can marry the royal family, and become a relative of the emperor, you are not satisfied! You don't want to think about your own virtues! Are you alluring to the country? Are you beautiful? Are you golden? You don't have anything, what right do you have to bargain with me here? ”
Although Bao Qian is not very likable, following Yuyan, she has also made a stumbling block for the Ji sisters openly and secretly.
However, Bao Qi is just a follower after all, and it didn't cause too bad results. Cold words, cynicism, and the like are not enough to hurt the roots.
Now seeing Bao Qi crying miserably, Ji Jun also feels compassionate.
Peony couldn't look at it, and reached out to take out a small pill to teach Hong Peiju a lesson, but was stopped by Ji Jun with a look!
The play hasn't finished yet!
Peony stopped.
Bao Qi couldn't cry at the moment, she suddenly stood up suddenly, pointed at Hong Peiju and said,
"You are so despicable, you are ungrateful, you are shameless! Because you owed a lot of money to others, your Hou Mansion couldn't make ends meet, so you fell in love with me and my family's money! You coaxed my father and mother with clever words, my father and mother believe that you, the younger brother of the Hou Ye of the same clan and the same clan, entrust you with their only land and family wealth, and you said that in the future, after you survive this time, you will be able to help me marry into a wealthy family as your Hou Ye. Let me not only be glorious and rich, but also noble. You said, at that time, my father's money will be left to me as a dowry, because if I marry into a wealthy family, I will not have enough dowry, and the other party will not value me. ”
Ji Xi shook his head when he heard this, this kind of lie, Hong Peiju is familiar with it. Baoqi's father and mother were deceived, which is understandable.
Who would have thought that the high-ranking Hou Ye could deceive his relatives?
Who would have thought that brothers of the same clan would abduct their relatives?
Who would have thought that from the day he met Hong Peiju, there was not a single truth in his words?
Alas, it is only necessary to pay the tuition.
It's just that the price of my own tuition is too expensive!
