Ji Xiaotang didn't think much about this, but just had a better understanding of the behavior of Master Ji and Mrs. Ji. () The so-called "seeing through the leopard" can be seen.
Some things are well aware of, and there is no need to say them, at least they are not like Mrs. Ji. However, Mrs. Ji has such a temper. It is useless for anyone to persuade her.
"Grandma, don't be angry. We didn't plan to live there at first. It was their kindness to say that the master and the eldest lady said. If the grandmother was serious, it would be boring." Ji Xiaotang advised Mrs. Ji.
"I just angered them to be false!" Old Mrs. Ji was still unhappy, "I kept saying filial piety, but what I did was all about! I was like this to me, let alone others. Xiaotang, you only saw this thing, you don't think it's nothing, and you don't want to care. How could you know that they are all traitors who are used to killing people! If you don't care, she just thinks you are easy to bully, and the more you will bully you!"
What Mrs. Ji meant was that she had just cursed in front of the servants, but she was about to call Master Ji and Mrs. Ji to come and scold him fiercely.
"Don't say it's your child's house, your parents are all in their hearts, and they have to eat their plans. Xiaotang, wait and see how my grandmother deals with them!"
Ji Xiaotang sighed secretly. Old Mrs. Ji's words were inevitably subjective and one-sided, but they were not a form of function words. Now they are also a way to protect her family's wishes.
Old Mrs. Ji may have a good intention, but this method is very debatable.
The most important thing is that in the current situation, the Ji family must unite.
"Grandma," Ji Xiaotang had no choice but to sit down and persuade Mrs. Ji to not make trouble in this matter. "We just came here, and this matter was based on the master. The eldest lady said, let alone, grandma did not plan to live in Qianhua Hall. It is not worth it to make trouble for this matter. Grandma spared this, everyone knows that thanks to grandma, and never dared to do it again..."
Ji Xiaotang persuaded him for a while, and finally made Old Mrs. Ji feel relieved.
"Forget it, let's listen to you." Old Mrs. Ji said this, and told Ji Xiaotang about the past of Xinhua Hall. "... It was originally a house built by a big salt merchant. The master bought it and did not move anywhere. There was only the Qianhua Hall. It was not originally named this name, but the plaque that the master changed it and wrote it himself... When you came in, you might see it, but the handwriting in that place was different."
Ji Xiaotang really noticed this incident.
Old Mrs. Ji is willing to talk about the past, and Ji Xiaotang is willing to listen. No matter what, it is better than her quarrel.
"There is really a character named Qian in the name of the eldest lady?" Ji Xiaotang asked Old Lady Ji in a low voice.
"Yes." Old Mrs. Ji nodded and snorted coldly, "Yang Qianniang."
When Mr. Ji Er and Mrs. Ji Er came over with Changsheng, Mrs. Ji had been so calm that she was coaxed by Ji Xiaotang and invited Changsheng to sit next to her.
"...It was cleaned up very clean, the kangs were burned and the decorations were excellent. For us, the master and the big wife were both troubled." Mr. Ji Er and Mrs. Ji Er thought that they knew that Mrs. Ji was angry, so they said such words.
Old Mrs. Ji didn't say good, nor did she say bad. Her expression became softer.
...
Qianhuatang
The one who welcomed Mrs. Ji to receive the ceremony was the main hall of the main courtyard, which was only used to entertain distinguished guests. Mr. Ji and Mrs. Ji did not live here on weekdays, but in three small main rooms under the east corridor.
At this moment, Mrs. Ji was sitting on the strolling bed, leaning against Jinxiu's backrest, squinting her eyes slightly and listening to Mama Feng's talk about the affairs of the various courtyards on the East Road. ()
Mother Feng was in her early forties, wearing two golden hairpins on her head and a long, duck-green silk-colored silk-shaped pair of thighs. The other girls in the room stood with their hands hanging down, and only Mother Feng was sitting on the little thigh in front of Mrs. Ji's heels and spoke.
If Ji Xiaotang was here, he would definitely recognize that this mother Feng was the only woman who was not so afraid that Mrs. Ji would be popular.
"The old lady really started to curse? She was quicker to show off, she was smarter than before." Mrs. Ji interrupted Mama Feng and stood up two thin eyebrows, "What did she scold?"
"Madam, what other good things can the old lady curse? The wife didn't hear it, so she just pretended that it wasn't the case and asked her what to do. She didn't make a fuss about it. She has always been smart, so how could she not understand this?" Feng's mother hurriedly advised.
Mrs. Ji laughed.
"My mother is right, I was confused for a while. Others don't know, but mom should know that I was so cowardly that the old lady was. When I heard you say she cursed again, my blood would pour on my head. Forget it... I can say anything about this. If she starts to make trouble, it's only her, but even the second master and second wife will not be good. What's the matter? Haha."
"... Speaking of which, it wasn't that the third girl stopped him, but she persuaded the old lady. The old lady was going to call the master and the wife to scold him." If that were the case, no matter who was wrong, it would be that Master Ji and Mrs. Ji were shameless.
"You said the third girl persuaded the old lady to stop the old lady? Is this true? The old lady is gone, and the old lady is angry, and there is still someone who can persuade her to stop?"
"It's true." Feng's mother nodded, "If the third girl had not arrived in time, the old lady would have beaten someone to call the wife and the master. When the third girl beat us out, the old lady was still scolding her. She heard it outside. It was because the third girl said something that the old lady stopped talking and did not mention the matter of the yard again."
"When the second master and his family passed by, they saw that the old lady's face was already clear. The second master and the second wife both said that the wife was considerate and willing to take care of her, and arranged it properly. It seemed that this page was turned over by the old lady."
"The old lady can only dislike our master."
Feng's mother silent for a while and sighed secretly. She came to the Ji family by the Yang family's dowry and served Mrs. Ji since she was a child. Mrs. Ji is always smart and clever, but when it comes to the affairs of Mrs. Ji and the Ji family, Mrs. Ji is always a little stubborn. She is often driven by anger and does something unwise. Even if they are the servants' advice and obstacles, it will be useless.
"Madam, it's amazing now. It's not for anything else, just for the master and the uncle. The wife can't help but swallow the grievances and cheer up... According to me, the old lady is unacceptable to living in the capital. She should live for a short time." Mother Feng advised Mrs. Ji.
"Yes, I will tolerate it for the sake of the master and the uncle!" Feng's mother's words obviously touched Mrs. Ji, who nodded firmly and said.
"Madam, I have seen the second master's family. If the wife wants to avoid any trouble in the future, she should try to get the third girl as good as possible!" Mother Feng moved the little girl to Mrs. Ji again, lowering her voice slightly.
"Three Miss?"
"Yes. According to me, everyone around the old lady said that the second girl she loved the most, but I looked at it. The third girl relied on the most was the third girl. Only the third girl dared to speak in front of the old lady, and only the third girl would be willing to listen to the third girl's words." This can be clearly seen from today's incident. If it weren't for Ji Xiaotang, Master Ji and Mrs. Ji would have to kneel down to Mrs. Ji and be scolded.
It's not a shameful thing to be reasonable or not.
"The third girl can not only persuade the old lady, but also be willing to settle things. I heard the third girl say that harmony is the most important thing." Feng's mother said again.
Mrs. Ji did not answer immediately. She only met Mr. Ji'er's family for the first time today, and she had paid attention to it at that time. She still had a deep impression of Ji Xiaotang because of Ji Xiaotang's beauty.∏∈,
The Ji family's appearance is outstanding, but what she noticed at first sight was Ji Xiaotang. Even though Ji Xiaotang did not apply makeup, she did not dress up.
It is brilliant. This is what Mrs. Ji thought when she first saw Ji Xiaotang.
And if you look at Ji Xiaotang, you will see that you can't move your eyes away at all.
Unexpectedly, Master Ji Er and Mrs. Ji Er could give birth to such a girl. Mrs. Ji admired her so much at that time. Even if she was used to seeing the beauties in the capital, Mrs. Ji could not refuse to admit that Ji Xiaotang's beauty was shocking.
The beauty comes from the folk. When she saw Ji Xiaotang, Mrs. Ji believed this sentence.
Ji Xiaotang is still just a thirteen-year-old girl now. Her future is limitless.
"There is one more thing. The two girls who the wife gave to the third girl. The third girl gave the gift and handed it to the old lady." said Feng's mother.
"What?" Mrs. Ji suddenly woke up and seemed to have not heard what Feng Mama said clearly.
"The two girls that the wife gave to the third girl are now with the old lady." Mother Feng had no choice but to say it again.
At this moment, Mrs. Ji no longer had the heart to think about other things.
"Those two girls?"
"That's those two."
"Why... the second wife saw it and arranged it for her?"
"Not. When the third girl saw that the wife had sent her to her, she asked her to meet her in the house. She only said a few words and arranged it like this. What the third girl said was that she was young and did not need many people to serve her, so she sent the best person sent by her wife to serve the old lady. Her filial piety and her wife arrived."
Mrs. Ji's forehead was covered with sweat, and she took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and waved it.
"What else did she say when she sent the person to the old lady? What else did the old lady say?"
"The third girl has nothing else to say. The old lady took the person away, and she was stuck with something else, and she didn't notice anything yet."
Mrs. Ji's heart suddenly felt relieved, but when she thought about it, her heart tugged again. Those two people were always a handle for Mrs. Ji.
"I am afraid that one day the old lady will come back to the old lady. If there are any more instigating people..." Feng's mother knew what Mrs. Ji was thinking.
"What should I do?" Mrs. Ji was a little anxious. After being the head of the family for so many years, Mrs. Ji rarely showed such an anxious look.
"This matter... is all my fault. I should have stopped my wife at that time. It would be better if I didn't do this."
"It's all my idea to blame you." Mrs. Ji smiled bitterly, "I just thought that she is a child. This arrangement will not show off without revealing the mountains and waters. No matter how good it is."
Mr. Ji Er has three children. Ji Xiaoyun is the oldest and has been married. She is also the most favored by Mrs. Ji. It is not suitable for someone to be with her, and it is even more inappropriate for immortality. Only Ji Xiaotang is the most suitable.
"Maybe this is just a coincidence. The third girl is still young, and maybe she didn't expect to go there. She is just filial to the old lady." Feng's mother said this. It was mostly to comfort Mrs. Ji, because she saw that Mrs. Ji was really anxious.
Mrs. Ji did something wrong in this matter, and it would be a scandal if she revealed it.
"Really?" Mrs. Ji obviously didn't believe it.
"I can only look forward to it like this. So I said, the wife should have a good relationship with the third girl. Judging from the behavior of the third girl, she is not a person who loves to cause trouble. The wife is kind to her, so she will not mention this matter anymore. It was the old lady who suddenly mentioned it later. The third girl was willing to protect her and talk to her. It would be okay." Mother Feng said.
"Madam, although the third girl is young, she cannot underestimate her. I took the time to walk to Yanhuatang. They just settled down and could not pour water in..."
"It's true!" Mrs. Ji thought about it and nodded. She believed in Feng's judgment. "I have my own arrangements for the third girl. Only the old lady can do it, so you have to work harder for me. At least I'll deal with this big Buddha!"
"Madam said this, it won't be a slap in me." Mother Feng stood up in a hurry and said.
Mrs. Ji reached out and pressed her down on Mama Feng and asked her to sit and talk.
"No one knows better than me how difficult it is to serve the old lady. I couldn't bear to leave you, but I can't believe anyone except you."
"Madam, don't worry, I'm just trying my best to do my life..."
At this moment, a little girl came to pass on the words of Master Ji, saying that Mrs. Ji would go to Xuanhua Hall immediately and serve Mrs. Ji for dinner.
Mrs. Ji has never served her in front of her husband and aunt since she got married. Now she has become a mother-in-law, but she has to serve her mother-in-law. Mrs. Ji is not happy, but can only get up and ask her mother Feng to take the little girl to wash her and change her clothes.
"It's great. I just live in the countryside, I really can't eat anymore? Why do I come to Beijing? My right eye is always leaping these days, and I always have a bad premonition. Our good days are probably over!"
"It's bad, it's good." When Mama Feng saw Mrs. Ji say such despairing words, somehow she was frightened. "Madam, don't think I'm talking too much. You can't say such despairing words."
"I'm just talking." Mrs. Ji smiled.
A little girl outside reported that the big grandmother had arrived, and Mrs. Ji immediately stopped talking and stopped talking.
...
Master Ji Er said there was no need to welcome the banquet, but Master Ji and Mrs. Ji arranged a sumptuous banquet, and the whole family served Mrs. Ji in Xuanhua Hall.
Old Mrs. Ji only picked up the chopsticks and picked up two bites of food, then put them down.
Everyone followed the chopsticks.
