Chapter 6 Yanhua Hall(1/2)

Fatty, please give me a monthly ticket

****

"How could I forget?" Master Ji Er paused and sighed.

Old Mrs. Ji came to find Ji Xiaotang, and Ji Xiaotang said a few words to Master Ji Er before heading to Xuanhua Hall.

Seeing Ji Xiaotang leaving, Master Ji Er was about to go out, but he sat on the kang again, with a melancholy expression.

"Master, what's wrong?" Mrs. Ji Er asked Master Ji Er.

"Our two daughters, Xiaoyun is weaker and Xiaotang is stronger, but in the end, they are still the same... they are all too affectionate."

Mrs. Ji Er sighed as well.

The two of them do not want their children to be indifferent, but their parents’ selfishness. Compared with others, they always hope that their children will live happier and happier, and that they will not be disappointed.

"The daughters are all like masters in this regard." Mrs. Ji Er thought for a while and said with a smile, "Xiaotang is also the result of the master's usual teaching."

"I also said that I am like me, but in my opinion, it is more like you." Master Ji Er also smiled.

Mrs. Ji Er's voice again gave Mr. Ji Er a few words, and then sent Mr. Ji Er out.

...

Xuanhuatang

Ji Xiaotang walked into the house and saw that except for Xuanhuatang, Ji Grandma Yang and Ji Xiaolian, the eldest girl of the Ji family, were also there.

Yang was laughing and talking to Old Lady Ji, while Ji Xiaolian didn't know what she was talking to Ji Xiaoyun.

Seeing Ji Xiaotang coming, everyone's eyes turned to her.

"Your sister-in-law brought someone to give you a monthly bill to your sister." Old Mrs. Ji told Ji Xiaotang. She had no good expression on Mrs. Ji, but she was kind to Yang.

"It was the eldest wife's instructions. Xiaolian and I were just about to come to see the old lady and my sisters." Yang said with a smile, and asked the girl to send the monthly silver.

"Grandmother..." Ji Xiaotang didn't check in, but just smiled in front of Mrs. Ji, meaning that it depends on how Mrs. Ji made the decision.

Yang came for a while and had already talked about the monthly routine. Old Mrs. Ji refused to comment and only hit someone to find Ji Xiaotang. It seemed that she wanted to listen to Ji Xiaotang.

But Ji Xiaotang is here, but it is the same.

Old Mrs. Ji looked at Ji Xiaotang, thought for a while, then nodded. Mrs. Ji did a very decent job of money on monthly basis. In addition to Ji Xiaotang, Ji Xiaoyun and Sister Changsheng, there were also Gu Xueer, Zhou Nianhong and Zhou Qiao.

If I only gave the three from the Ji family in front, Old Lady Ji would not mean it, but Mrs. Ji arranged it so thoroughly. In Old Lady Ji's opinion, this is not just a matter of money.

"Since the eldest wife beat your sister-in-law and sent it to you, your sister will accept it."

Ji Xiaotang then signaled Xiu'er to take the monthly silver and also collected the share of Changsheng.

Yang felt relieved, his smile on his face became more pleasant, and he took Ji Xiaotang a little more seriously.

"...I heard from your elder brother that the third sister has been familiar with her second uncle since she was a child. Which book is available now? What kind of poems are there..." Yang took Ji Xiaotang's hand and slowly talked.

Ji Xiaotang knew that Yang was the granddaughter of Yang Ge Lao's legitimate relative. He was not like an ordinary girl from the family, but also a familiar student of poetry and books. He was a famous talented woman in the capital. It is said that she was quite talented in poetry.

Yang's poetry talent is said to follow Yang Ge Lao.

"... But I read a few books in general and read a few more words than I usually read. I am more familiar with the "Tang Poetry".

"What version do you read by my sister?" Yang asked immediately.

"When I was first studying, I wrote the "Tang Poems" collected by the Zhou master of the previous dynasty, and later it was "Tang Poems and Brocade", and now I read this every day."

Yang's pink face slightly flushed with joy, and his eyes lit up.

Ji Xiaolian next to her smiled.

"Xiaotang, you don't know yet. This "Tang Poems and Brocade" was written by our sister-in-law's father."

Ji Xiaotang immediately stood up and apologized to Yang with a smile: "It turns out to be the master's master's master's work. I don't know how disrespectful it is. Sister-in-law, don't be surprised."

Yang also stood up.∮, and took Ji Xiaotang's hand more intimately.

"What's so strange about this? I'm not too happy yet. My father didn't use the real name for this book. Only a few close people knew it, but they didn't know it outside... Xiaotang was very knowledgeable and had a more savvy vision and could win you like it. Not only was I proud and I, but my father would be happy even if he knew it."

As he spoke, Yang pulled Ji Xiaotang down again and asked Ji Xiaotang which version of the year he was studying. Ji Xiaotang replied with a smile.

"The page you read is rare, which shows that I really like it and I am a book lover. However, I still have a limited edition for the first time, and it is not sold on the books outside. My father kept it all, and only gave it to a few people I was close to. I will give it to you later."

"I would like to thank my sister-in-law for this." Ji Xiaotang did not refuse.

"Xiaotang..." Yang asked Ji Xiaotang implicitly why she liked "Jiaojin", and she even felt a little embarrassed in her attitude.

Ji Xiaotang laughed in his heart, but he also told the story.

"The text of "Jiaojin" is smooth and charming, and the words are graceful and graceful, making people feel scented when reading it, and it seems to be in the prosperous era of the ancient Tang Dynasty... Only the author of "Jiaojin" has the most profound knowledge of the history of the Tang Dynasty, and has the most comprehensive collection of the poet's life anecdotes, and often has unique insights..."

Ji Xiaotang seemed a little embarrassed as he said this.

"However, this is just a little bit of my opinion. I didn't know it was made by Mr. Yang before."

When she said this, Yang was not only not annoyed, but instead regarded her as a confidant. She kept holding Ji Xiaotang's hand and asked Ji Xiaotang what appendix in "Jiaojin" is the most popular one.

The book "Jiaojin" is not only annotation of "Tang Poetry", but also has many masterpieces of the author himself and others who collect other people's rhymes.

Before Ji Xiaotang could answer, she was stopped by Ji Xiaolian's laughter.

"Sister-in-law, you have become sick of this poet again." Ji Xiaolian said with a smile, secretly winking at Yang.

Only then did Yang come to his senses.

She had a conversation with Ji Xiaotang, and wanted to talk about poetry and essays with Ji Xiaotang, and she could do it privately, but now she puts Old Lady Ji and others aside, which is a bit inappropriate.

"I'm crazy again!" Yang laughed quickly and apologized to Old Mrs. Ji, "Don't blame me for being like this since I was a child. When I talk about poetry, I don't remember anything. It's also my relationship with Xiaotang sister."

Old Mrs. Ji and Mrs. Yang had only met several times. Although she did not have an in-depth understanding, she felt a little nerdy when she looked at Yang's behavior and conversation, and she was not the same as Mrs. Ji.

This is also the reason why Mrs. Ji has a good attitude towards Yang.

"Xiaotang is also a person who loves to study. I often say that her father knows a few words. It's okay if you don't do it and keep blind. No matter what you do, she can get up to the fifth day of the lunar calendar, and she won't go to the top scorer in the Jinshi!...Okay, now your sister-in-law has a companion."

Old Mrs. Ji said this. Everyone laughed.

"... I want to make New Year's clothes, my mother said to wait. When the old lady and her sisters come, everyone will make it together. The ruler has been purchased and also ordered the needle and thread room. When the old lady has time, she will send all the ruler and thread room. According to the old lady and her sisters, she will choose the size of the needle and thread room." Ji Xiaolian said with a smile again.

"My mother chose the styles that are popular in Beijing, and the third sister must like them." After saying the above words in front of the person, Ji Xiaolian privately pulled Ji Xiaotang, which seemed to be closer than others.

Ji Xiaotang thanked him with a smile and agreed.

After sitting in Xuanhua Hall for a while, everyone said goodbye to the point where they saw that Old Mrs. Ji was a little tired.

Yang and Ji Xiaolian went to Mrs. Ji. Because she was still immersed in the joy of finding a confidant, Yang smiled. She had heard Mrs. Ji mention it countless times, saying that Mrs. Ji was not easy to serve, and was worried that the second wife was a country man, and that the mistress was from a military official's family, the family would be very rough and difficult to get along with.

However, today's experience in Xuanhuatang was undoubtedly pleasant for Yang.

Yang couldn't help but share her feelings with Ji Xiaolian: "...I think the old lady is very kind and easy to talk to. Xiaotang's sisters are all good, especially Xiaotang."

Yang was already looking forward to the scene where Ji Xiaotang and his party were in Xinhua Hall, and everyone was having fun together.

Ji Xiaolian looked at Yang and sneered.

"My sister-in-law forgot that the old lady gave her a warning yesterday."

Yang was stunned: "The old lady came here for a long distance and felt uncomfortable, maybe because of this."

Ji Xiaolian gave Yang a secret glance: "If Xiaotang was easy to get along with, she would not have occupied the back corner gate on the east side as soon as she settled down, and our family would not be allowed to enter and exit. From now on, my people would have to buy some rouge and water powder, and all kinds of gadgets would have to go around a long way. Maybe Xiaotang looked at the face of his sister-in-law. She could open the Internet to the sister-in-law's people."

Mrs. Yang lowered her head and pondered for a while.

"I heard that Xiaotang is the housekeeper. She has set the rules and regulations. I am the sister-in-law. It sounds like restraining the servants. It is hard to find her to show favor, and it is hard to care about others. It is not a big deal if you take a detour."

"Sister-in-law, you are really..." What's the matter? Ji Xiaolian didn't say it, but was just angry at Yang's laughter.

The cousins ​​have been familiar with each other since childhood, and some things do not make sense to Yang, so Ji Xiaolian simply shut up.

The two returned to Qianhua Hall and reported everything about Xuanhua Hall to Mrs. Ji. Mrs. Ji nodded when she knew that things were going well. Yang served Mrs. Ji for a while, and Mrs. Ji asked her to go down to rest.

Yang left, and Ji Xiaolian sat next to Mrs. Ji.

"What?" Mrs. Ji knew her daughter and knew she had something to say, so she asked.

"Mom, you can beat my sister-in-law more when it comes to the old lady's affairs in the future." Ji Xiaolian gave Mrs. Ji this way, "It seems that the old lady will not make things difficult for her sister-in-law."

"I think so too." Mrs. Ji nodded. Unfortunately, she couldn't let Yang do everything for her, so she still couldn't help but go to Old Mrs. Ji. Even so, she could be much more relaxed.

"My sister-in-law and Xiaotang are very close. But my sister-in-law is stupid, but Xiaotang is a smart person. My sister-in-law and Xiaotang have been in contact with Xiaotang for a long time, I am afraid she will suffer a loss." Ji Xiaolian said again.

Mrs. Ji thought about it.

"Let her go, don't worry. Just keep a secret. If your sister-in-law suffers a loss, you will be like this..." Mrs. Ji smiled coldly as she said, "At that time, naturally someone will stand up."

"I understand." Ji Xiaolian said that she had recorded it, and then asked Mrs. Ji, "Mom, what kind of relative is Gu Xueer in the family? I think she is very up-to-date, not that she is better dressed, but she even thinks she is a rough girl. The old lady asked me to call her aunt, it really makes people..."

Ji Xiaolian made an expression of extreme disgust.

Mrs. Ji smiled coldly again.

"That's a relative of the old lady. I had never told you before, but I only found out after asking your father. That's a decent relative!" Mrs. Ji said in a low voice to Ji Xiaolian.

Ji Xiaolian suddenly realized and her expression on her face became even more contemptuous.

"No wonder, it turns out that he is the niece of the old lady's mother's relative. Such a village girl is still so incompetent, so she shouldn't have brought her to the capital. The old lady seems to have to praise her! Is it so good that people can see it? We are all shameless!"
