313. One of Beichanghang(1/2)
Inside the house.
When Mrs. Wu'an saw Xiao Ji's beautiful little Ji, she couldn't help but think of her second daughter who died early, so she couldn't get up happily. Xiao Ji's kind of clever person respectfully bowed and said softly, "The wind was a bit loud this morning. Sister Yan was still young, so she asked her brother to go to the temple to burn incense with the old lady at home, so she didn't bring them here to pay tribute to her mother."
The wife of Wu'an Hou came back to her senses and quickly smiled, "Good child, come here and show me." Xiao Ji moved to her legitimate mother. Wu'an Hou took Xiao Ji's hand and sat beside her. Seeing Xiao Ji's color as bright as a flower, she knew that her newlyweds were very happy. Wu'an Hou still asked, "How good is the son-in-law to treat you? How good is the mother-in-law? How good is the servant?"
Xiao Ji lowered his eyebrows and answered one by one, and then he heard the eldest maid Xihua come in and report, "Madam, the eldest aunt is here."
At this moment, Mrs. Wu'an showed a truly heart-warming smile and said repeatedly, "Please come in quickly."
The one who came in was a tall woman with pretty eyes. The woman smiled and had luxurious clothes. She bent her knees and blessed her blessings. She said, "I went out late today, so I asked my mother and sister to wait for me. It's mine."
Mrs. Wu'an Hou laughed, "Who will choose you if my family?"
Xiao Ji had already stood up with great eyesight and wanted to give the position beside his mother to his legitimate sister. Ji Min stepped forward and pressed Xiao Ji back and laughed, "Today is a good day for my sister. My sister has just married, so she must be homesick and has a good time with her mother."
Xiao Ji smiled, turned her face red, and she looked shy as the bride.
Ji Min asked Xiao Ji again as her mother's way. Seeing Xiao Ji's biological mother, Aunt Zhang, sitting by the side, she smiled and said, "My sister is rare to come back, and there is no one who doesn't care about me. Mother, I asked my sister to sit in my aunt's room and say some private words."
Aunt Zhang quickly got up and said, "I don't dare."
Mrs. Wu'an went with the flow and said, "It should be." She said to Xiao Ji, "Go and talk to your aunt, and let your aunt rest assured."
Xiao Ji bowed to Aunt Zhang and left.
As soon as the two left, Mrs. Wu'an asked her daughter, "Why are you late today? But what happened at home is that I was stumbled?"
Ji Min's eyes were slightly red, and he pinched his handkerchief and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said softly, "It's nothing. Last night, Aunt Zhou started to urge her to give birth to a son. This morning she said she was uncomfortable. I waited for the doctor to come over and prescribed the prescription before she came to the Marquis. Speaking of which, it was also a happy event in our mansion." Ji Min, as the eldest daughter of the Marquis' Mansion, was a standard lady, and she still married the Marquis' Mansion. It is logical that everything went well, but after the wedding, Ji Min had never been able to give birth to a child. Not to mention her son, there was no reason for her daughter. The Marquis of Ning'an could not give birth to a daughter, and it was not the reason why the Marquis of Ning'an could give birth to a concubine until this time, which gave him enough face to the Marquis' Mansion and the Marquis of Wu'an. From another perspective, the relationship between Marquis of Ning'an and Ji Min was quite good.
Seeing that his daughter's face was thick and thin, her hands were thin and she was left with only a handful of bones, she felt distressed and uncomfortable, and she burst into tears. Ji Min was the eldest daughter of the legitimate daughter. She was very favored by her parents when she was in her parents' home. As the eldest sister, she had always been sensible and considerate, and hurriedly advised, "What is my mother doing? Having this child can save me from loneliness. What's more, the Marquis said that after the full moon, she carried my brother to me and raised her, which is the same as my son."
Mrs. Wu'an Hou felt a little relieved and wiped her tears, "It's great that my son-in-law cares about you like this. You can see in the past few years that my son-in-law has you in his heart. Don't worry, as long as you have been, just take care of your child and take care of your body. Your grandmother gave birth to your father at the age of 40. The child is fate, and I can't say when it will come."
Ji Min nodded silently, not wanting his mother to worry about him, he climaxed and said with a smile, "Mother, don't worry about me. The Marquis handed over everything in the mansion to me. Even if he is an aunt, there is nothing ignorant. But these days are there at home?"
"It's nothing." Mrs. Wu'an said sadly, "I just care about letting brother and sister Yan. The fourth girl is a smart person. I didn't want her to marry into the Song family. But your fifth sister is silent and generous. Unexpectedly, Song's son-in-law called the fourth girl, hum, it's really..." He sneered, and Mrs. Wu'an was still uncomfortable and said, "Your father is also tilted to the fourth girl. You said, how could I let go of my heart and sister Yan?"
Ji Min advised, "Now the fourth girl has married, my mother thinks, the fourth girl is not stupid. If she is bad for brother and sister, her father will not be able to forgive her. What's more, there are mothers and me. If my nephew and nieces suffer grievances, I will not give up."
Mrs. Wu'an sighed, suddenly remembered, and said to Xihua, "Go and ask if Madam Liang is here? If Madam Liang comes back with the fourth girl, ask Madam Liang to come in and talk to her."
Madam Liang was originally the confidant maid of Mrs. Wu'an. Madam Liang asked Madam Liang to dowry it just for her granddaughter, so that they would not suffer any grievances and would not know.
Xiao Ji finally relaxed completely when he arrived at Aunt Zhang's courtyard.
Aunt Zhang touched her daughter's face and said, "Hurry up and sit on the bed, Lu Ju, I'll ask you to stew the bird's nest, are you ready? Take it for the girl to eat."
Xiao Ji was held by Aunt Zhang and smiled, "I came at home after breakfast, and I was not hungry again. Auntie stopped doing it."
Aunt Zhang sighed, "When I don't know, the second girl married into the Song family first and complained about how many hardships she suffered. Your mother-in-law is not a good person to get along with. You are a new daughter-in-law. If you have to set rules and do housework, how can you not suffer? If you have a meal later, follow the wife and the older girl, how can you eat so well? You can make up for it first."
Lu Ju brought a cup of rock candy bird's nest. Aunt Zhang took it and blew the heat from the bird's nest first before handing it to her daughter. She smiled, "I asked them to prepare a good bird's nest yesterday. I still have a big bag here. You can take it with you later and take it back and eat it slowly. You are old now, so you have to pay attention to your body."
Xiao Ji tasted it in a small mouth and smiled. This is the difference between her biological mother and her legitimate mother.
Aunt Zhang looked at her daughter's beautiful face, and when she ate up a bird's nest, she rinsed her mouth again, she asked her daughter how she was in her in-laws' house. Xiao Ji said, "Don't worry about me, my husband is very good to me, but then again, which old lady is not picky. If the daughter-in-law is easy to be a wife, there will be no such thing as her daughter-in-law. Besides, to say that, the old lady is there, and her energy is limited. I am not a tough person as strong as my second sister, and I can handle it."
Aunt Zhang nodded and whispered to ask her daughter about some private matters. Xiao Ji's face turned slightly red, and she said "Yeah" in a slight way. Aunt Zhang whispered, "A woman has to live on her belly for the rest of her life. Don't think about whether there are any or not, and don't be wronged. Let Brother and Sister Yan, you didn't want you to marry and fill in the house at first. It was your father who loved you. Let Brother and Sister Yan grow up safely and live up to your father."
Xiao Ji smiled and said, "Don't I know this yet? Don't worry, aunt, I'm not that short-sighted person. From now on, my child will still be the legitimate son and daughter of the Song family."
Aunt Zhang sighed, "I have a bad background. I am not worried about your two brothers. The future of a man depends on his own ability. You are not worse than others. It is because of this kind of house, but our mother and daughter have worked hard to find it. Otherwise, with my son's talent and appearance, even the royal and Duke's mansion will not be bad."
Xiao Ji leaned his head on Aunt Zhang's shoulder and leaned it with a soft and delicate touch, and smiled, "The children are all good for their own families, and I will naturally be good for you when I see me." He comforted Aunt Zhang and said, "The younger brothers are all promising. In the future, the titles in this mansion will be of my younger brother, and both I have good fortune."
Aunt Zhang has passed away, and wrinkles have grown in the corners of her eyes. In fact, as her beauty has withered over the years, Wu'an Hou has already had a new favorite. However, what does this matter? She already has two sons and one daughter. What women can rely on in the end is never her husband, but her own son.
After having a family banquet at noon, Song Rong took Xiao Ji and his father-in-law and mother-in-law, Ning'an Hou and his wife farewell and got in the car and went home.
After arriving at home, Xiao Ji first served Song Rong to change his clothes, and asked the left-behind girl Lu Yun, "Have the old lady and Brother Jean back?"
Lu Yun said, "No."
Song Rong gently held Xiao Ji's soft little hand, saw a little tiredness on her face, and said, "Just come back, take a break first."
Xiao Ji smiled, and two shallow dimples appeared on the corner of her mouth, but she pulled her little hand down. Xiao Ji lowered her eyes and tidied up her comfortable long gown for her husband.
For a moment, the maid brought new tea, and Xiao Ji personally gave it to her husband. Song Rong took the tea and pinched Xiao Ji's palm without any trace, and gave Xiao Ji a wink. Xiao Ji just ignored him, but sat down directly at the dressing table, pulled out the gold hairpin and gemstones between his temples, and placed it on the dressing table.
Song Rong waved his hand, and Lu Yun took the maid in the room and stepped back gently.
Xiao Ji had removed all the hairpin rings on her head. She was in her prime and her color was bright. She just scattered with black hair, and she had a dazzling beauty of youth. Song Rong looked at the beauty in the mirror, walked slowly over, and put Xiao Ji in her arms.
Suddenly, a faint fragrance lingered in his nose and penetrated into his heart. Song Rong raised his hand to hold the little wife's hand combing his hair, and said warmly, "I'll comb Rou'er's hair." Song Rong took the little jade comb from Xiao Ji's hand, held a handful of black hair in his palm, sniffed it deeply, and said, "Ru'er really smells."
Xiao Ji wrinkled his nose and said in a slight angrily voice, "It's so good to comb your hair. If the master teases me, I'll comb my own."
"Don't, I'll serve Rou'er."
Xiao Ji didn't speak, just looked at her face in the mirror and her husband's firm chin. Song Rong had a handsome face, and was very talented, with a good future. No matter what aspect, she was very attractive to women. Otherwise, Xiao Ji would not try his best to fill in the room for Song Rong.
Neither of them spoke, but there was a wonder and atmosphere spreading in the room.
After the black and shiny hair was combed with soft black hair, Xiao Ji smiled at her husband in the mirror. Song Rong bent down and put his mouth close to Xiao Ji's delicate and fair ear beads, and opened his mouth and held it.
Xiao Ji's face was full of red glow and extremely shy.
Just now, the voice of the green cloud outside the house was vaguely heard, "Two concubines, the master and the wife have something to discuss. The aunts will come and greet you later."
"I just heard that the master and his wife came back, how could we not come to greet the master and his wife?" A charming voice penetrated into the house.
Xiao Ji hurriedly pushed Song Rong away, and a shy and annoyance flashed in his eyes. He reached out to wipe away the tears in the corners of his eyes, turned his face away, and did not speak.
The sweet voices of the two aunts came from outside, "I'll pay my respects to the master and the wife."
Song Rong was distracted by the aunts, and a little coldness appeared in his voice, saying, "You don't have to serve, go down!"
Xiao Ji quickly turned around, with tears in his eyes still in his eyes, and said, "Sisters, come and greet you, good intentions, why are you angry with your sisters?" Xiao Ji smiled reluctantly at Song Rong and said, "Sisters, come in."
Song Rong's face was unhappy, and the two concubines were quite cautious.
Seeing that Xiao Ji was still scattering her hair, an Aunt Liu was particularly smart, so she quickly bowed and said, "I will serve the wife to comb her hair." Another Aunt Cui gave a tribute and followed her to serve Xiao Ji.
Xiao Ji didn't say a word, and her black hair had just been combed by Song Rong, and was dressed up by these two concubines. Xiao Ji looked at the mirror and smiled, "I'm so good at it, thank you for your hard work."
Aunt Liu smiled humbly, "I dare not be a wife, if my wife likes her, I will serve her and comb her hair every day, which is my blessing."
Xiao Ji said, "We can't count our girls, so why don't you bother you?" As he said that, he pulled out a small makeup box from the dressing table, took out a gold-inlaid gem, and a dazzling bracelet, and handed it to the two concubines one by one, and said, "You can wear it."
The two aunts thanked the rewards for their blessings, and Xiao Ji said, "Okay, you guys go down, I have something to say with the master."
Aunt Cui was a quick-talking and said, "If Mrs. is useful to me and Sister Liu, just give me instructions."
Xiao Ji blinked her beautiful eyes and asked, "Do you want to listen to me discussing things with the master?"
Xiao Ji asked this directly, and it was difficult for the two of them to disturb the situation and hook up with Song Rong.
Song Rong was already impatient and frowned and scolded, "I won't leave yet! Something that is unruly! If your wife doesn't call you in the future, you don't have to come!"
Aunt Liu and Aunt Cui's face, like spring flowers and autumn moon, flashed with a hint of panic and sadness, and hurriedly leaned over and retreated.
Xiao Ji advised Song Rong, "The two concubines are rewarded by the old lady, and for the sake of the old lady's face, the master also wants to give them some face."
Song Rong was fearless and said to Xiao Ji, "Ro'er, since you have married me, your mother is old, so you will worry too much about the inner house. Although they are the people rewarded by their mothers, they are also slaves. Can they still climb up to the master's head? If you are disobedient, just keep in charge of discipline." He pulled out a golden hairpin between Xiao Ji's hair and said, "You are my wife. Once you have passed the door, I will hand over the family affairs to you. I can also settle down and serve the court and earn you a phoenix crown and a red rooster for Roo'er."
Xiao Ji smiled softly, "As long as the master believes in me."
"There is something I'm about to tell the master." Xiao Ji climaxed his spirits and said, "I didn't talk to the master yesterday about Sister Yan. I wanted to move Sister Yan to our yard and take care of her nearby. When I saw two aunts today, I felt it was inappropriate. Two aunts lived in the east and west wings. Sister Yan came over, where did she live?"
Xiao Ji looked at Song Rong, "Let's say that although Sister Yan is young, she is also my daughter, and the eldest daughter of the master. She has a different status. If you feel wronged, you can't let Sister Yan down."
Song Rong said nothing, "Since that's the case, let Liu and Cuifeng live in the same place, and free up the east wing for Sister Yan."
Xiao Ji whispered, "Let me tell you what I mean to you. Sister Yan should have called me aunt. Now she is my daughter again. I am very close to Sister Yan. I am the same as the master. I want to live in the same place and leave Yan'er with my aunts. I just don't know if the two aunts are willing?"
It is a man's nature to like the new and get tired of the old.
What's more, Song Rong was a serious imperial examination and had the ability. His concubine was just a reprimand for him. Hearing Xiao Ji's words, Song Rong comforted her, "You are the mistress of the family. If you have something to do, they are obedient, and they are polite; if they don't listen, they are ignorant."
Xiao Ji said angrily, "If you don't say that the master is a man, how can you know the woman's heart?"
Song Rong had already thrown his two concubines behind his head and teased him, "What kind of woman's heart? Rou'er tells me, what are you thinking in your heart?"
Xiao Ji's cheeks were slightly red, showing a slight shyness. Seeing that there was no one in the room, she rested her head on her husband's shoulders and said softly, "In my heart, I only like the master, and I also hope that the master only likes me."
Xiao Ji was the wife whom he married again, and it was like this. Song Rong held the young wife's shoulders, and his love gradually grew and said in a gentle voice, "The master only likes you."
The two of them were in love with each other in the room and said a lot of things carefully until afternoon, when they heard the maid report that the old lady had brought the old man back from the temple. Xiao Ji and Song Rong quickly tidied up their clothes and went to the old lady's house to pay their respects.
Old Mrs. Song took Song Jiarang into the house and saw her son and daughter-in-law coming. Old Mrs. Song was a little satisfied and asked with a smile, "When did you come back?"
Xiao Ji went up to serve the old lady to change clothes. Song Rong asked, "We have just returned. What good signs did the old lady ask for in the temple?" Old lady Song was not a scheming person. Song Rong could see this happy look, so he asked each other and pleased his mother.
Sure enough, Old Mrs. Song immediately said with a slight eloquence that she had asked for. Song Rong smiled and agreed. Song Rong had known that those tricks in the temple would have given a lot of money for the indulgent oil, and the sign would always be good.
Making his mother happy, Song Rong talked about accompanying Xiao Ji back to the door, and then mentioned moving Song Jiayan to his yard, saying, "When Xiao Ji enters the door, he has to take on the responsibility of the mistress of the family. Aunt Li's health in the yard is getting worse and worse. Please ask Sister Yan to come and follow Xiao Ji."
Because this was said from his son's mouth, Old Mrs. Song looked pretty good and asked, "Where is the willow and deerbird?"
"Let them squeeze and live in the west wing." Song Rong said casually.
Old Mrs. Song glanced at Xiao Ji, who was depressed and looked at her son again, and said seriously, "Yang Liu and Deerephid have served me, and they are the most well-behaved. You can't let them down."
Song Rong said to Xiao Ji, "Go to the kitchen and have a look. Mother loves to drink mutton soup, so ask the kitchen to prepare a cup."
