Chapter 65 The wise man wins(1/3)
"Why didn't Hu'er come?" Song Sui sat down in the main seat, waiting for Ji Yun to sit on his left, glanced at him and found that his eldest daughter had not arrived, and asked with a frown...
Aunt Liu stepped forward and bowed, "Reply to the master's words, the eldest girl knew that the second girl was coming back, so she went to the second gate early today. She waited for most of the morning and waited until the second girl came back. She was very happy, but this autumn day was too poisonous, and the eldest girl was a little dizzy and she was not feeling well. She was resting in the room now."
As soon as these words were said, the other three concubines all had their eyes twitching. The stupid woman took the second girl's eye drops in front of the master in front of her, and she would not pick a good life even if she wanted to die.
A cold light flashed in Ji Yun's eyes. It seemed that she was too lenient to them these days, making them unaware that the sky was high and the earth was thick. She was so arrogant that she thought about it and said coldly: "Huer is sick, why isn't anyone going back and forth for me?"
"Mrs. I dare not disturb the interest of the second lady." Aunt Liu replied with her bowed.
Song Ruoxi frowned slightly. She hadn't reacted to what Aunt Liu said just now, but she understood this sentence. This woman was talking badly to her.
"Since you don't dare to disturb me, you are not afraid of disturbing my interest after speaking out now?" Ji Yun raised her eyebrows and glared with her almond eyes, "You are seeing the master come back and want to complain to the master, saying that my legitimate mother abused the concubine's daughter, right?"
Song Ruoxi looked at Ji Yun in disbelief, "Mom, can you say this so bluntly?" She didn't know that Ji Yun was happy because she came back, but Aunt Liu was not tactful and asked him to come to cause trouble at this time. She also said that she was tired from coming back, which made Ji Yun even more angry than saying that Ji Yun was not good.
The three aunts took a slight breath of air conditioning. The wife was so angry that Aunt Liu was in trouble now.
"The innocent concubine has no such idea. The master asked the girl why she didn't come. The innocent concubine just reported the truth and asked the master to understand." Aunt Liu knelt on the ground, lay on the ground, and made a timid posture.
"Master, I'll just make the words clear today so that there will be no one who makes trouble all day long. Please ask them, did my wife and mother abuse them?" Ji Yun said sternly.
"The mother regards her daughter as her own son and has never abused her daughter. Please tell me clearly." The two concubines owed without waiting for Song Sui to speak.
"It is great for the wife to treat the lowly concubine, and she never deducts the lowly concubine's expenses." The other three concubines quickly knelt on the ground to express their attitude.
"Madam, don't be angry. You know what your wife is like." Song Sui comforted Ji Yun with a soft voice.
Ji Yun snorted coldly, tilted her head away, and ignored Song Sui.
"Since Hu'er is sick, you should report to your wife and ask the doctor to see a doctor." Song Sui looked at Aunt Liu with a hint of disgust. Although he didn't care about the affairs of the inner house, he didn't know anything about the inner house. He knew that Ji Yun never deducted the expenses of the concubines and daughters, monthly money, clothes and jewelry from all seasons were always distributed on time, and all snacks, tea and seasonal fruits were all available, and only a few people served.
Thinking back to his situation back then and the situation in other mansions he knew, he felt that Ji Yun did a very good job. However, Aunt Liu was in front of him every once in a while, hinting that Ji Yun was harsh on them. He was still half-believing the previous few times, but now he didn't believe it at all, so he was relieved to hand over the inner house to Ji Yun to take care of it.
"Master, I'm a slut, and I'm going to ask the doctor to come to the mansion, but the eldest girl said that the second girl had just returned and asked the doctor to come into the mansion. It would be too unlucky and I said it would be better if I had a rest." Aunt Liu continued to act.
"Oh, I've never heard of getting sick. You don't have to look for a doctor and take a break." Aunt Xu said sarcastically.
Aunt Mei covered her mouth and smiled, saying, "This is not sick, but you can get better just by taking a break."
"If you are sick, you should invite the doctor to see a doctor. I, the legitimate mother, are not so unreasonable. Rong Qiao, please invite the doctor to the mansion to see the big girl." Ji Yun sneered. The little girl likes to pretend to be sick. Well, she will invite a bunch of doctors to the mansion and let the news go. Who would be willing to marry a sick girl to come in?
"Yes, madam." Rong Qiao bent her knees and went out to ask the doctor to come to the mansion to see the eldest girl.
Seeing that the matter had been settled, Song Sui said, "Okay, sit down and eat. You all get up and serve your wife for food."
Ji Yun sat down on Song Sui's left hand. Song Ruohu did not come. Song Ruoxi was led to Song Sui's right by a maid. Song Huai was still sitting on Ji Yun's left, Song Ruojuan sat on Song Huai's right, and Song Ruochi sat on Song Ruoxi's right. The concubine was not qualified to serve the table together.
"Madam, Xi'er just came back today. This meal is to welcome her. It's better to drink some wine to help her cheer up?" Song Sui saw Ji Yun still had a stern face and used Song Ruoxi to make her happy.
Song Huai gave Song Ruoxi a wink.
Song Ruoxi understood and said, "Mom, is it okay to drink some wine?"
Looking at his pink and tender daughter, Ji Yun couldn't hold back her face, Zhan Yan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll do it for you."
"Come on, drink wine." Song Sui said.
The maid responded with a glass of wine and poured a full amount of wine for the six people.
Song Sui raised his glass and said, "Madam, I wish you a cup for you."
"Master, please." Ji Yun cried a glass with him and drank it all in one go.
The scene of the couple drinking at each other hurt Aunt Liu, her eyes full of jealousy; Aunt Zou stood there with a dull expression. Aunt Xu and Mei's eyes flashed for a moment, and they returned to peace.
"Xi'er, you said you were hungry just now. You should eat more now, otherwise you will get hungry again later." Song Sui looked at Song Ruoxi with a smile on his face, and picked up a chopstick of vegetables in her bowl.
"Thank you, dad, Xi'er will eat well." Song Ruoxi replied with a sweet smile.
"Second sister, I wish you a cup." Song Ruojuan raised his glass and said.
"Thank you." Song Ruoxi smiled and cried with her.
"Xi'er, don't drink too much wine, you will get drunk." Ji Yun was worried that Song Ruoxi would be drunk and would feel uncomfortable tomorrow.
"Second sister, I'll do it first, just be as good as you like." Song Ruojuan said obediently.
"Okay." Song Ruoxi took a sip. The wine tasted very light, like water, but it was not as sweet as apricot wine, so it was not delicious.
Song Huai walked to Song Ruoxi with a cup, "Sister, Huai'er also wishes you a cup."
"Okay." Song Ruoxi came without hesitation.
"Sister, I'll finish drinking, you can do whatever you want." Song Huai said with a smile.
Then, Song Ruochi also came over to toast.
Seeing the sisters harmonious, Aunt Liu tilted her mouth disdainfully and pretended to be fake; Aunt Zou breathed lightly, the second girl's temperament was much better than before; Aunt Xu frowned slightly, the second girl had changed a lot; Aunt Mei looked at Song Ruoxi quietly, the second girl looked quite kind, so it should not be difficult to get along with.
After the meal, Song Sui was slightly drunk and went back to the room to rest with Ji Yun. The three girls were also kind-hearted and helped them back to the room by the maid. Only Song Huai was not drunk at all, and shook his fan and went back to the room to sleep.
The next day, Song Ruoxi woke up early. She remembered An Yu said that children should pay their respects to their elders early and greet them lately. There is no need to abide by the rules in the temple. Here, they must abide by the rules, yawn, get up, put on dressing gowns, and walk out with their shoes.
Xiangxiu, who was on night yesterday, heard the sound, opened her eyes and saw that Song Ruoxi had already come, so she hurriedly sat up and said, "Girl, you are up!"
Song Ruoxi yawned and looked out the window. It was dawn. "When is it now?"
Xiangxiu got up and lit the candles, went out to see the time, "Girl, the second hour of Mao."
"I haven't been to pay my respects at the time of Mao, so I can't sleep in." Song Ruoxi opened the window, and the fresh air came to his face, with a faint fragrance of chrysanthemums.
Xiangxiu lit up the lights in the house, put on her clothes, and asked others to come in to serve her, and the yard became lively.
"Girl, what bun do you want to tie today?" Xiangduo's skillful hands are good at tied up with her hair.
Song Ruoxi looked at the figure in the bronze mirror and said, "Put it in a light bun, don't be too heavy."
"I will bring you a small snail bun for you." Xiangduo smiled.
"Okay." Song Ruoxi didn't have much opinion on this, she could only slap her.
Xiang Xiu took out three red, blue and green dresses from the closet and asked, "Girl, which one do you want to wear today?"
Song Ruoxi glanced at it and said, "It's better to wear the light green one."
Xiangwen opened the jewelry box and asked her to choose the jewelry she wore.
Song Ruoxi chose a jasper chrysanthemum hairpin, a small golden phoenix hairpin and a pair of green earrings.
"Girl, isn't this a little too simple?" Xiangwen reminded with a smile.
Song Ruoxi chose another golden beaded Ganoderma hairpin in the box, "That's it!"
Holding her hair bun and inserting a jade hairpin and a golden hairpin, Song Ruoxi looked at it. It was a good thing, she was a beauty.
Qinghe held a golden golden lock with a silk squid, "Girl, I will help you put it on."
Song Ruoxi curled his lips in disgust, "I don't want to wear this thing."
"Girl, this is the long-lived lock that the wife has made for you. We will bless you with a hundred years of longevity and good fortune." Qinghe smiled.
"Okay." Song Ruoxi hung the golden lock on his chest helplessly, and could not let Ji Yun down his love for his daughter.
Xiangxiu and Vanilla came forward to serve her to put on her clothes, Mint brought out a box of silk handkerchiefs of various colors for her to choose from. Song Ruoxi chose light green embroidered handkerchiefs in the color of her clothes, and she had already packed it up and walked out of the door.
"Girl, I'll go before I drink a bowl of rice porridge." Liu Siniang walked over from the other end of the corridor with the bowl of porridge.
"I won't drink." Song Ruoxi was not used to eating so early.
"Girl, this is what I got up early in the morning. You can take a few sips to keep your stomach safe, so don't get hungry." Liu Siniang showed her loyalty and care to Song Ruoxi.
Xiangwen curled the corners of her lips and said, "Miss, go to the wife's side to pay tribute. Will the wife still be hungry?"
Song Ruoxi glanced at Xiangwen. Although she didn't like Liu Siniang's favor and excluding Siniang's behavior, no matter what, Liu Siniang was her own wet nurse. Song Ruoxi didn't want others to look down on her and bullied her. She took the bowl in her hand, took a few sips, and said with a smile: "Wuxi, everything in the kitchen is under the control of Siniang's affairs. You don't have to get up early in the morning to make porridge. It's too hard. From now on, you can help me control these girls and don't let them break the rules."
"Hey, the wet nurse knows, the wet nurse will help the girl take care of them." Liu Siniang felt warm and her nose was sore. The girl still valued her.
"Xiangxiu, Xiangduo, let's go." Song Ruoxiu and Xiangduo followed. Xiangwen pursed the corners of her lips and clenched her eyes. Liu Siniang was all caused by this old thing.
According to the rules of the Song family, the concubine Mao Zheng went to the wife's place to greet her and waited for her to wash her. The girls went to the wife's place to greet her at the time of Mao. However, Ji Yun didn't want to see those annoying people early in the morning, so she never let her concubine enter the room to help her to wash her. The concubines stood at the door and waited for her to wash her before going in to greet her.
"How is the madam's eyebrows?" Song Sui stayed in Ji Yun's room last night. He drank some wine again, and was very excited. He hugged Ji Yun and lingered for the middle of the night until the two were exhausted. They could get up more today. Ji Yun served Song Sui to put on her clothes before she washed her.
"The master's craftsmanship is getting better and better." Ji Yun praised.
"I have been writing for my husband for more than ten years. If I can't draw it well, I will be like a stick to my husband." Song Sui said with a smile.
Ji Yun burst out laughing and said, "Master is the best one!"
"If you beat your husband, what is the lady?" Song Sui leaned into her ear and asked in a low voice, with some meaning in his words.
Ji Yun's pretty face turned red and she glanced at him coquettishly, "Master."
Song Sui laughed loudly.
"The master has a good attitude, can I help me pick up branches and hairpins?"
"I am willing to serve the work of dogs and horses for my husband."
The four concubines stood at the door in a regular manner, and the sound of the couple flirting in the room was heard in their ears, with different expressions. Aunt Zou had long since extinguished her desire to compete for favor, and was calm and dull; the other three were indignant, and they were not inferior to Ji Yun, and they were younger than Ji Yun. After so many years, why did the master not let his feelings for him?
Ji Yun had already washed up and dressed up. Rong Qiao went out to ask the concubines to come in. When she looked up, she saw a light green at the door. She looked closely and saw that it was the second girl. She hurriedly turned around and reported: "Master, Madam, the second girl is here to pay her respects."
Ji Yun in the room was stunned and asked, "When is it?"
