Chapter 134 Xiao Rui
Facts have proved that Mrs. Xiao’s plan was right. Before Zhou could pass the door, the third wife was ready to move.
That afternoon, she brought her own children to Ruxi Pavilion. It happened that Xiao Rui sent Ji Heng over to see his sister, so she met her.
"Aunt San."
Xiao Rui and Xiao Wen called out.
Ji Wan and Ji Rong stood up. The mother had not yet married. The third wife was not Mrs. Xiao's daughter-in-law. The two sisters dared not stick it warmly at this time and called her wife politely.
The third lady looked at the two sisters, and her eyes were especially on Ji Wan for a while. She saw her wearing a lake-green robe, a milky white long skirt underneath, and her small face as big as a palm, delicate on her facial features, like a fairy in the painting. Ji Rong was younger, and her facial features had not yet grown, but she was also very beautiful.
The daughter looks like this, which shows that Zhou is also a charming person. No wonder she fascinated her uncle and has been obsessed with for more than ten years. She also wants to get married with the etiquette of a wife.
"Is it Awan and Arong? They are so beautiful, I like it when I look at it." She praised the two sisters with a slight smile, bent down again, pinched Ji Heng's pink face, and praised him again, and then pushed Xiao An and Xiao Shu over, "This is your second brother An Ge'er and your third sister Shujie."
Xiao An accepted his two sisters and younger brother in a proper manner, but Xiao Shu was a little unhappy. She had heard from the maids and nannies that her second uncle was about to get married. The bride was a widow and brought three scoundrels. She looked down on her from the bottom of her heart. Now she saw that the two daughters brought by the widow were so beautiful, so she disliked her even more.
"I heard that my sisters and brothers came from the north, and the north was poor and difficult. I think my sisters and brothers suffered a lot, right?"
The eight-year-old girl can't hide her emotions at all. She feels thorny as soon as she opens her mouth, and her eyes clearly contain ridicule and contempt.
Xiao Wen frowned.
As the eldest brother, Xiao Rui immediately scolded: "The third sister must not be rude."
Xiao Shu pouted, "I'm telling the truth..."
When she touched Xiao Rui's cold gaze, she was afraid and stopped talking and called her sister obediently.
The three Ji Wan and his brothers were not included in the genealogy, so they were not among the descendants of the Xiao family. To avoid confusion, the younger ones called the two sisters "Sister Wan" and "Sister Rong" respectively. Ji Heng was the youngest, which was more convenient, just call him the nickname.
"Don't stand, sit down and talk."
Relying on his elders, the third lady began to issue orders in Ruxi Pavilion.
Ji Wan pretended not to understand her provocation and pulled her own sister to sit down next to her.
"My third aunt is busy with the internal affairs of the mansion. Why did you have time to come today?"
Xiao Rui was worried that his third aunt would make things difficult for Ji Wan, siblings, and siblings, so he didn't leave. After sitting down, he asked a question directly.
"Awan and the others just moved in today. I was worried that the maids in the mansion were not attentive to serve them, so I came over to see if there was any shortage here."
The third lady said, and her eyes began to look at the layout in the room. When she saw it, her eyes were not so good.
From the appearance to the internal structure, as well as daily necessities and objects, Ruxi Pavilion is all exquisite. Not to mention anything else, but the twelve pink, green, apricot, four-color embroidered four-season colorful flowers, birds, fish, insects, sandalwood screen is valuable. As for the others... they are all more expensive than the objects placed in their house.
The old lady valued the oil bottle brought by Ji Shi so much, which was obviously a slap in the face.
The third lady was holding her breath and the smile on her face became more and more unhappy.
"What do Awan and Arong love to do on weekdays? What books have they read?"
Ji Wan saw her dislike, but her face was not visible at all. She replied with a smile: "I only read the Four Books and Five Classics and the Girls, and I just know a few words."
How can I only know a few words? In the Xiao Mansion, except for Xiao Rui and Xiao An, two brothers, who were both Xiao Wen and Xiao Shu, were still reading "The Analects of Confucius". The younger ones have just been enlightened.
The third wife believed that Ji Wan was deliberately showing off and deliberately making herself unable to get out of Taiwan, and her eyes became more and more unkind.
"Is that? You are not old, but I didn't expect that it would be rare to read so many books." Her smile faded a lot, "But it's useless for girls to read so many books. Learn more talents and read more girls well, which is a model for noble girls."
This is the gesture of an elder and starts to speak.
On the first day of entering the mansion, Ji Wan didn't want to argue with her, so she responded with a smile.
"yes."
From beginning to end, she smiled and was gentle and kind. No matter how difficult the third lady made her, she was not angry or angry. Even the third lady deliberately gave advice, but she couldn't find an excuse, but instead she was so angry that she had no choice but to take her children away.
Ji Wan took her younger brothers and sisters to see her at the door until her figure disappeared.
Xiao Rui looked at Ji Wan inquiringly, "My aunt is the most difficult to deal with and likes to compete and be competitive. Every time my aunt comes, she will be angry with her. Today she obviously comes to find fault, and she is also holding on to the status of an elder, but she doesn't get any advantage."
He paused, and looked at Ji Wan with a little more admiration.
"Sister Wan is very awesome."
However, the twelve-year-old boy was one year younger than Ji Cheng, with tender and immature facial features, but he looked mature and persistent. Ji Wan felt funny and sympathized with him.
The situation of the Xiao family was actually heard from her grandfather and uncle before she entered the mansion. If it weren’t for the promising children of Mrs. Xiao and the family would have fallen soon. Among the descendants of the Xiao family, Xiao Rui was the eldest brother, and the education he received since childhood must be the best in the family prosperity. Therefore, at a young age, he matured and became sensible too early.
In fact, he is just a half-year-old child.
"The visible hostility is the least threatening."
This child lost his mother since childhood and was very pitiful. He did not feel dissatisfied with his siblings because Zhou occupied his mother's position. He also helped the third wife to make trouble for them as soon as possible. Ji Wan felt more pity and care for the child and said warmly: "The invisible sword light and sword shadow are the most terrifying."
Xiao Rui was stunned, his eyes gradually deepened. He took a step back, bent down and bowed to her, and said seriously: "Thank you for your teaching, I will remember it in my heart."
Yes, quite polite.
Both are legitimate, and compared to Xiao An's disdainful conversation and Xiao Shu's rivalry, Xiao Rui and Xiao Wen are much more educated.
No wonder Mrs. Xiao doesn’t like the third wife.
"Have you read the art of war?"
"Well, I've been studying since I was a kid."
"Want to join the army?"
"Yes." Xiao Rui's eyes were shining. "I want to be a soldier defending the imperial city like my father. If there is any war on the border in the future, I will follow the army to fight the enemy."
A person with a strong ambition is strong. As long as he is willing to work hard, he will have a future.
Ji Wan defined Xiao Rui in her heart.
