Gong Fujiao Daughter-in-law

Chapter 42 Phoenix
The Ji family is indeed rich. In the past few years, the military funds donated to the camp in the northern suburbs are not hundreds of thousands, and there are always tens of thousands of taels.

At that time, Wei Yao and Wei Rong's marriage was decided together, and the two brides also got married at the same time, with a difference of only one month.

But their origins are quite different.

At that time, some people in Yezhou broke their mouths, saying that Ji Xiuxiu, the third young lady of Su Guogong's mansion, was bought with money. This word spread all over the city, even Lang Huan could hear it.

At that time, Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Wei hadn't discussed marriage yet, and a young lady who had known Xie Zhiyun for a long time laughed at Ji Xiuxiu, saying that she had changed from a golden pheasant to a phoenix, her tone was full of jealousy.

Xie Zhijun also spoke for Ji Xiuxiu at that time.

She remembered that she had told others at that time that Wei Shi was able to be what he is today not only because of his outstanding military exploits, but also because of his gratitude and nostalgia for the old days.

The Yu family and the Wei family are colleagues, they are often helped on the battlefield, and they fought side by side. This is true, but the Ji family's real money, is it not considered a deep friendship?

The world is difficult these days, and the common people have no money in their hands. It is considered happiness to have a complete household. In this case, the vacant military salary cannot be asked from the common people.

The Wei family was the only one, and the North Vietnam didn't give them a single penny of military pay. During the most difficult time of the year, Wei's family suffered from hunger and hunger, and their rations were not as good as that of ordinary soldiers.

Later, the situation gradually improved, people's livelihood was restored, and rice crops were re-cultivated. The Ji family also ended his wandering business career in the north and south, and returned to his hometown in Yezhou.

This time, he brought Wei Shi tens of thousands of taels of military pay.

Not to mention sending charcoal in the snow, but it is also the icing on the cake.

In troubled times, those who can make money and return to their hometowns are not ordinary people.

Xie Zhiyun has never met the patriarch of the Ji family, that is, Ji Xiuxiu's father, but she knows that he must have extraordinary courage.

If it is said that the Ji family is the name of the third young lady of the Wei family bought with money, it is not correct. It should be said that the old relationship between the Wei and Ji families is hard to get rid of, the new agreement has been completed, and they are ready to face the future together.

This is correct.

However, the latter words only passed through Xie Zhijun's heart, and he didn't say a word to outsiders.

It wasn't until two months later that Wei Cang's marriage letter was sent to Xie that Xie Zhiyun suddenly realized that Wei Cang's ambition was not small.

At this moment, a golden light flashed in front of his eyes, Xie Zhiyun regained his sanity from the complicated memories, and saw Ji Xiuxiu covered in jewels and emeralds at a glance.

She clicked her tongue in her heart, but there was still a warm smile on her face.

Xin Dao said that the patriarch of the Ji clan is so powerful, why didn't Ji Xiuxiu learn half of it?
Ji Xiuxiu is now wearing a brocade beige embroidered with gold and silver peonies in water red, a silver red pleated skirt inside, an eight-treasure necklace around her neck, and a pair of huge golden ruby ​​hairpins on her head. There are only two words on her whole body—— rich.

In fact, she has a sweet appearance, slightly round face, round nose bridge, especially those peach blossom eyes, and she is a very cute little beauty.

But her attire reduced her seven-point appearance to five points, or even lower.

As soon as she came out, she could hear a burst of ring Pei Linlang without opening her mouth.

"I've met the elder sister-in-law, the second sister-in-law, and the elder sister."

Ji Xiuxiu's voice was like an oriole, and there was obvious complacency on her face.

There was a smile on her brows, and she could tell she was happy from the bottom of her heart just by looking at it.

"I heard that my sister-in-law invited us to see the treasure. I'm very happy. I don't know what kind of treasure it is?"

Xie Zhijun stepped into Qiu Shixuan in Xiantingxin, took a seat directly on the main seat, and then said to the sisters-in-law and sisters in the room: "Sit down and talk."

Xie Daqian's ability to turn against customers really made Ji Xiuxiu laugh.

She sat down next to Xie Zhijun, sneering and sarcastic: "Sister-in-law is so grand."

Xie Zhiyun looked at the room full of jewels lightly, and said, "The third sister-in-law is such a big show."

Wei Ning'an came earlier, and had already sat there in a fit of anger just now and said nothing, but now when he heard the two of them fighting, he rolled his eyes and immediately took it to heart.

"The elder sister-in-law's family has a century-old clan, so there must be less antiques and jades than in the third sister-in-law's family?" Wei Ning'an said in a crisp voice, "Looking at the ornaments of Qiu Shixuan, I'm afraid they are just the tip of the iceberg. The third sister-in-law's house must be full of gold and jade."

This drive to sow discord is nothing like Cui Ji's.

It's a bit like Weiying.

Xie Zhiyun was too lazy to argue with the child, so he ignored her and only looked at Ji Xiuxiu.

"Third sister-in-law, what is the treasure? Please come out and shine for us."

Ji Xiuxiu couldn't help being proud when she thought of the treasure she just got.

She held her head high and clapped her hands at Yuan Bao, who bowed and stepped back.

Not long after, Yuan Bao and Zhao Cai pushed a square table of huanghuali into the hall together. On the table was an ornament about the size of a wishful spring bottle, covered with a red velvet cloth so that nothing could be seen.

The two little maids pushed the square table into the middle of the hall, and said triumphantly: "A while ago, my father went to Daqi to sell our Qingyun yarn, a specialty of Yingzhou, and was invited by a friend to a banquet. Someone sold it and bought it back."

"My father knew that I like these treasures the most, so he brought them here when I got home," Ji Xiuxiu said after a slight pause, "I thought it had been a long time since there was any excitement, so I invited my relatives to come and see it."

To put it bluntly, I just want to show off to them.

Xie Zhiyun smiled softly: "The third sister-in-law is still considerate, and will not forget us if there are good things."

Ji Xiuxiu smiled modestly, but her brows and eyes were full of complacency.

She nodded to Yuan Bao, and Yuan Bao and Zhao Cai looked at each other, and they held the corner of the red velvet together.

The next moment, the red cloth flew up high like a sunset glow, revealing the dazzling treasure inside.

The hall was extremely quiet for a moment.

Even the sound of breathing stopped, Xie Zhiyun only felt a blur in front of his eyes, and immediately saw his unclear eyebrows and eyes on the treasure.

It was an eight-treasure glazed mirror.

If it were an ordinary glazed mirror, it would not be so surprising. There are dozens of jewels of various colors inlaid around this mirror. Around the glazed mirror, a beautiful map of the galaxy is formed.

The base of the mirror is a holy lotus flower, made of pure gold. The flower stretches and sways, and it just happens to hold the glazed mirror in the center.

When Ji Xiuxiu saw that everyone was too surprised to speak, her heart was bubbling with beauty.

When everyone finally recovered from the shock, Ji Xiuxiu cleared her throat and said, "Yuanbao, turn around."

So Xie Zhiyun saw Yuanbao and Zhaocai pushing the same square table together, and turned around with the glazed mirror on it.

The next moment, everyone was shocked again.

The position of the square table happened to be between the main seat and the accompanying seat. Just now, Xie Zhijun and Ji Xiuxiu could only see the front, and the rest could only see the back. Now that they turned around, everyone could see the whole picture of the treasure clearly.

Behind the eight-treasure glazed mirror, there is a picture of a phoenix wagging its tail engraved in gold and silver.

The phoenix on it is carved lifelike, as if it is about to spread its wings and fly high.
