The first update, please look for pink. ()
...
Old Mrs. Ji quickly called someone out in the yard, but this time she went to the second gate to upload a message and asked someone to go to the village to find Mr. Gu to come back.
Uncle Gu was soon found and entered Mrs. Ji's yard, but he had not come out for a long time.
Ji Xiaotang and Madam Cheng sat under the shade of the tree, and she saw the movements in the yard of Old Mrs. Ji.
Just now, she went to Old Lady Ji's yard once, but was stopped by the girl guarding the door.
It turned out that Old Mrs. Ji gave the order.
"It's not just the third girl, but also the second girl and the old lady gave the same orders." Mudan said to Ji Xiaotang with a smile, "It's not just the girls. The old lady didn't say anything. It's still better for the girls to give such orders."
Without explicitly speaking, Ji Xiaotang guessed that Old Mrs. Ji was talking to people about something inconvenient to people, or things that were particularly necessary for these girls to avoid.
Ji Xiaotang did not force herself to break in. She knew that even if she went in, she could temporarily disperse some things, but it would not solve any problem.
Looking at the people coming and going in the yard of Mrs. Ji Xiaotang knew that Mrs. Ji was really worried this time.
"Can Mama do me a favor?" Ji Xiaotang thought for a moment, then looked up and said to Mama Cheng.
...
In the room of Mrs. Ji, Mrs. Gu, and Jiang were talking about it lively.
Jiang told Mrs. Ji that she was not able to make a decision about Gu Xiaer's affairs. Mrs. Ji was not angry, but instead thought Jiang was doing something right, so she beat someone and found Mrs. Gu back.
Mrs. Ji wants to discuss Gu Xia'er's affairs with Mrs. Gu and her husband.
When Mrs. Ji told Mrs. Gu, she agreed very happily. If Mrs. Gu said that if it were someone else, he would definitely not be able to rely on it. But Mrs. Ji proposed it, and the other party was Mr. Ji, so he, the uncle, could only rely on it.
However, uncle Gu still has concerns.
Like Jiang, Mrs. Gu also mentioned Mrs. Ji Er.
"...Xia'er is our daughter and a well-known family. She has a nephew's wife, so I'm afraid..." Uncle Gu was worried that Gu Xia'er would be under the control of Mrs. Ji'er in the future, and was angry with Mrs. Ji'er.
"Don't worry about this." Old Mrs. Ji took great care of her, "Xia'er is my niece, and I can still make her suffer. When Xia'er gives birth to a son, she will be a great hero of my Ji family."
"That's right, but I'm in the end." Uncle Gu refused to relax.
Old Mrs. Ji thought about it and asked Uncle Gu what he wanted.
"... I have to marry a matchmaker." Uncle Gu said, "There are three matchmakers and six certificates, just like marrying a wife with a head. "It's the wife of the second wife, not a concubine."
"...When you enter the door, you will arrange a separate yard to serve your elder sister only, and not to set rules with your second wife..." Jiang said hurriedly. ∏∈,
Old Mrs. Ji lowered her head and thought for a while, then nodded.
Uncle Gu and Jiang looked at each other, and their eyes were filled with joy.
"Xia'er is not someone else, she is the niece of the eldest sister's relative. She is more noble than others in essence." Uncle Gu said.
"If Xia'er gave birth to a son for her cousin, but the second wife had no son, the eldest sister should make the decision and helped Xia'er to the right." Jiang said hurriedly.
This time, Old Mrs. Ji showed a look of embarrassment on her face, and she thought for a longer time.
Uncle Gu secretly looked at Mrs. Ji's face, then glared at Jiang, indicating that she was too anxious.
"I'll talk about this later. If it were someone else, it would be necessary. But this is our elder sister and our nephew, so we will suffer some losses." Uncle Gu said hurriedly.
"Yes, yes, after that, that's what my elder sister said." Jiang replied.
Old Mrs. Ji still didn't comment on this.
Although Mrs. Ji didn't like Mrs. Ji Er, she never thought of asking Mrs. Ji Er to divorce Mrs. Ji Er.
It is a big deal to divorce your wife in the Ji family.
The three of them talked for a while and decided to settle the matter.
"Sister, then this matter..." When will it be done? Uncle Gu asked.
"Of course, the faster the better." Old Mrs. Ji said.
The matter was settled, and then Mrs. Ji thought of Mr. Ji'er's attitude. It seemed a bit anxious to decide Gu Xia'er, but Mrs. Ji did not regret it. If she didn't decide earlier, Gu Xia'er would be decided by others.
She hadn't discussed this matter with Master Ji Er. Thinking about Master Ji Er's usual attitude, if she asked him to accept Gu Xia'er, she would probably not be able to agree so happily.
"For the sake of the descendants of the Ji family..." Master Ji Er had to agree if he didn't agree.
Things are settled.
"Then we should prepare." Mr. Gu and Jiang were both happy and said that they would start preparing dowry for Gu Xiaer.
"I originally thought that it was just an ordinary family and was prepared for dowry. But this time it was different. I can't make my elder sister and nephew look bad..." Uncle Gu looked at Mrs. Ji and grinned in a whisper.
Old Mrs. Ji had something else to understand, so she immediately called the close-fitting girl Shaoyao to come and let Shaoyao go into the inner room and get a brocade box.
There are five gold ingots in the brocade box.
"You take this first and prepare a decent dowry for Xia'er." Old Mrs. Ji ordered.
Uncle Gu and Jiang were eager to say something, and the two of them rushed to hold the brocade box and refused to let go.
"Then I'll take Xia'er's house?" Jiang asked in a happy mood.⊥,
"No need for this." Old Mrs. Ji said.
Mrs. Ji’s plan was to wait until the matter was settled on the spot and then take a form to let Gu Xia’er go home to prepare for marriage. The date of preparation for marriage would not be long. Mrs. Ji wanted to marry Gu Xiaer into the house immediately to give birth to a son for Mr. Ji Er.
In addition, Old Mrs. Ji has some minor thoughts that are difficult to say.
Keeping Gu Xia'er by her side can meet Mr. Ji Er more often. If Mr. Ji Er falls in love with Gu Xiaer, everything will go much smoother.
Although it was for the sake of his offspring, Mrs. Ji also had some selfish thoughts in it. Mr. Ji Er was her biological child and Gu Xiaer was her favorite niece. Mrs. Ji still hoped that they would all be satisfied with this marriage.
"It's good or not, it's good, I'll follow my elder sister's arrangements." Uncle Gu said immediately.
Without taking Gu Xia'er home, you can get less chewy Gu at home. It can make Gu Xiaer and Master Ji Er get close to Gu Xiaer and make Master Ji Er fall in love with Gu Xiaer. In the future, Gu Xiaer will blow the pillow wind more effectively.
"We are all for the good of our children. Xia'er also needs to ask her. She has to nod her head. I am an aunt who cannot force her." Old Mrs. Ji said again.
"Sister, why bother ask her? As long as the elder sister gives her instructions, no matter what it is, she has nothing to accept. It's not that the elder sister, that the child is the most honest and filial to the elder sister." Uncle Gu said with a smile.
"Miss home, you still have to ask me." Old Mrs. Ji said with a smile.
Uncle Gu and Jiang left happily in the box. Old Mrs. Ji sat on the kang for a while before then instructing someone to call Gu Xiaer.
Gu Xia'er naturally came soon. She seemed to know nothing, just sitting next to Mrs. Ji, but didn't ask Mrs. Ji what it was like to ask her to come over.
However, Old Mrs. Ji's eyes became too enthusiastic, and Gu Xia'er couldn't stand it and slowly blushed.
After Mrs. Song said something like that just now, the look of Mrs. Ji looking at Gu Xia'er at this moment was very different from usual.
In the past, Old Lady Ji looked at Gu Xia'er just to look at her niece she liked. Now, she looked at her daughter-in-law.
Although Gu Xia'er's face is not as beautiful as the top, her figure is plump than that of girls of the same age. Old Mrs. Ji looked at her like this and felt that Gu Xia'er looked a little like herself back then. Thinking of the three sons and two daughters, the sons were all officials, and the daughters were all imperial edicts, Old Mrs. Ji became more satisfied.
"Xia'er is old, it's time to go out and be a wife." Old Mrs. Ji stroked Gu Xia'er's head and said slowly.
Gu Xia'er has a good head, black and thick, and it feels extremely smooth when touched.
"Auntie." Gu Xia'er became even more shy, "I don't go out, I just stay with my aunt."
"Are you telling the truth?" Old Mrs. Ji immediately grabbed Gu Xia'er's words and asked afterwards.
"When did Xia'er lie to her aunt?" Gu Xia'er said with her head down.
"If you are sincere, your aunt will be willing." Old Mrs. Ji said.
Gu Xia'er seemed to be stunned for a moment.
Old Mrs. Ji felt that she had shown the girl's little thoughts and laughed proudly.
"You are still coaxing your aunt."
"Xia'er is not coaxing her aunt. If her aunt is really willing to keep Xia'er by her side, it is a blessing that Xia'er has cultivated for several lifetimes... If it weren't for her aunt, Xia'er wouldn't know where to suffer today. For her aunt, Xia'er was willing to do anything."
"It's just the mouth of the world. Although Xia'er is willing, she is afraid that others will say to her aunt for this." Gu Xia'er said in a low voice.
Gu Xia'er means that she is willing to never marry and accompany Mrs. Ji for the rest of her life. However, in this way, Mrs. Ji will inevitably gain a bad reputation.
Old Mrs. Ji smiled again.
"How could my aunt stop you from getting married? This is a big deal of human relations. My aunt wishes you to marry a good man soon."
"Auntie." Gu Xia'er's face turned red with shame, but she still said in a low voice, "Xia'er listens to her aunt's everything. Xia'er says something unfilial, and Xia'er's parents must be left behind."
This is exactly the same as the tone of Mr. Gu and Jiang.
The more satisfied Mrs. Ji was.
"Xia'er, my aunt discusses something with you."
"Auntie just tell me."
"My aunt has shown you a person, not someone else, but your second cousin." Old Mrs. Ji said, looking at Gu Xia'er's face, "What do you think Xia'er?"
Gu Xia'er's head almost dropped to her chest.
"Second cousin... I have a cousin's wife." Gu Xia'er spitted out these words from her mouth almost like a mosquito.
