swear not to be concubine

Chapter 77

Youdao is the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister, even though Qi Sang is just a follower in front of Xu Zhongxuan, Yu still dare not treat him slowly.

She hurriedly asked the little maid to invite Qi Sang in, then smiled and bowed her hand to give up her seat.

Qi Sang did not sit down.On the contrary, after entering, he saluted Mrs. Yu respectfully, and then stood aside with his hands down.

Mrs. Yu hurriedly asked the little maid to serve him tea, and then asked kindly: "The eldest son sent you here, but what's the matter?"

Qi Sang didn't answer, but raised his eyes to look at Xu Zhongjing first.

Mrs Yu understood, and hurriedly asked Xu Zhongjing to go back first, and then asked the other maids who were waiting in the house to go down as well.

Then Qi Sang said: "The eldest son asked the younger one to tell the third wife that he saw that the second son is young and talented, and his knowledge is also very good. As the elder brother, he intends to make an excellent marriage for him. The daughter's family It is the third girl from Taichang Temple's Master Qing Su's family. The third wife has also met her before. She has a good appearance and a soft temperament. The eldest son also said, let you study hard to keep the second son's life, don't He has worked hard on other things, and when he gets two Jinshi in the future, he will ask the Minister of Rites, Mr. Wu, to go to the Su family to propose marriage, and the Su family will definitely agree."

Master Wu, Minister of Rites, Wu Kaiji, is also a scholar of the Jianji Palace, and is the second assistant among the cabinet members after the first assistant Zhou Yuanzheng.If he came to the Su family to propose marriage in person, the Su family should not refuse.Besides, Xu Zhongjing is also Xu Zhongxuan's first cousin after all, even if the Su family wanted to marry Su Jinniang to Xu Zhongxuan at the beginning, but if Xu Zhongxuan clearly expressed his attitude at that time, then the Su family could only retreat if they wanted to come. Second.

Xu Zhongxuan didn't like the marriage, but for Yu Shi and Xu Zhongjing, it was very good.Even though Yu Shidang was overjoyed, she put on a smile all over her face, and only said to ask Qi Sang to go back and tell the eldest son to rest assured that she will definitely restrain Xu Zhongjing to study hard during these days, and she will definitely not Let him think about those who have and don't.

Yu Shi is also a smart person, she was surprised when she heard Qi Sang's words at first, but she still couldn't figure out what Xu Zhongxuan meant.But after thinking about it again, she immediately understood.

Although Xu Zhongxuan and Xu Zhongjing are direct cousins, but Xu Zhongxuan has always been weak in family affection. They live in the same Xu house, and I have never seen him care about Xu Zhongjing once in all these years. Why did he suddenly care so much today? Thinking about it Want to tell him such a good marriage?It must be because Mrs. Wu just mentioned that she wanted to match Jian Yan and Xu Zhongjing. When Xu Zhongxuan learned about it, he immediately sent his entourage to say such things to her. It was nothing more than to let her and Xu Zhongjing know, don't It's just Jian Yan's idea.

And thinking about the gossip in the house these days that the eldest son fell in love with Miss Jian, what else does Mrs. Yu not understand?It's just that she didn't look down on Jian Yan at first, and she thought that the Su family could not be reached, and was worrying spontaneously. She didn't want Xu Zhongxuan to send someone over when she stood upside down, and gave her such a reassurance, then she What's not to like?
She immediately agreed wholeheartedly, and because she was really happy, she asked Rui Lan to bring a purse, which contained a tael of silver, saying that she wanted to buy wine for Qi Sang.It's just that Qi Sang refused and did not accept the purse.He also said that the Eldest Young Master ordered him other things, and he wanted to leave first, then he saluted Mrs Yu, turned around and left.

The other things that Qi Sang said about the Eldest Young Master's orders were to pass on the message to the Fifth Wife, Mrs. Ji.

Went to Jade Emperor Temple today, Ji only felt sore waist and legs, came back and said that she was very tired and needed to rest, so she didn't let anyone enter the house to disturb her.Now that Qi Sang came, the little maids in the courtyard did not dare to report to Mrs. Ji, for fear of disturbing Mrs. Ji's rest, she would be scolded.But I'm afraid of making mistakes, after all, the eldest son's status in the house is first-class.He asked Qi Sang to pass on a message, what if he missed his business?No one can afford this guilt.So in the end, the little maid informed the words to Cui Xiao and Cuiping, the elder maids beside Ji.It's just that Cui Xiao and Cuiping didn't dare to make up their own minds, and after thinking about it, they told the words to Ji's confidant Nanny Tao.

Nanny Tao pondered for a while, and finally lifted the golden rattan and bamboo curtain hanging at the door, and walked into the room lightly.

Lily incense is lit in the room, which is very elegant.

Ji was facing the inside, sleeping on the lacquered bed in the east room, with the light blue gauze curtain half down.

Nanny Tao walked to the bed lightly, first drew the lowered half gauze curtain to the gold-plated begonia flower tent hook, and then bent over, calling in a low voice: "Ma'am, ma'am. "

Ji gave a low hum, but didn't intend to wake up.Seeing this, Nanny Tao had no choice but to stretch out her hand and give her a little push, then raised her voice a bit, calling: "Ma'am, ma'am."

Ji Shi finally woke up, turned around, saw that it was Nanny Tao, and asked, "What's the matter?"

She was still sleepy, and her tone was not very good, presumably it was because Nurse Tao disturbed her rest.

Mother Tao had no choice but to bite the bullet and report under her not-so-kind gaze: "Young Master sent Qi Sang who is by his side to look for you, and said he wanted to say a few words to you."

"Eldest son?" A look of surprise appeared on Ji's face, and he said, "What can he say to me?"

It's just that even though she said so in her mouth, she still got up and sat up.

Tao Nanny hastily called Cui Xiao and Cuiping to come in to serve her, while she went out of Dongci Room first to greet Qi Sang.So for a while, when Mrs. Ji came to the bright room, Qi Sang was standing by the side and waiting with his hands down.

Ji smiled and said to Nanny Tao: "Why don't the guards sit here, but just stand here?"

Once he sat on the Arhat bed in front of him, he asked Qi Sang to sit, and then asked the little maid to serve tea and a fruit box.

Qi Sang didn't sit down, but bowed to Mrs. Ji, then straightened up and said: "The younger one is following the order of the eldest son, to invite Mrs. Fifth, please go and send a few words to Mrs. Jian, saying Let's go when we're done, the eldest son is still forcing the younger one to do other things, so he doesn't dare to delay with you."

Ji raised her eyebrows and smiled, "I don't know what Eldest Young Master wants to say to me?"

Qi Sang then told Ji Shi exactly what Xu Zhongxuan had explained earlier.After finishing speaking, he saluted Ji Shi again, then turned around and retreated.

Mrs. Ji was in a daze here, and after a while, she turned her head and said to Nanny Tao who was standing beside her, "Listen, you are disturbing me just because of these few words. I I thought it was a big deal."

Tao Nanny said: "Madam, think about it carefully, although these few words of the eldest son are not worth anything, but if you look closely, it is a big deal."

Mrs. Ji sighed: "How can I not know what the eldest son means. It's just that he fell in love with Sister Yan. For the time being, it may be because of Sister Yan's young age, during the filial piety period, or because Since he himself has not married a wife yet, it is not good to carry an aunt in his house first, so it is not easy to make a decision clearly, but he said such a thing and asked me to tell my sister. It is nothing more than to tell Sister, he fell in love with Sister Yan, and he didn't want my sister to promise Sister Yan to others."

Tao Nanny thought about it for a while, and then said: "It must be that the old lady told the eldest son about the matchmaking between the cousin girl and the second son in the Jade Emperor Temple, so the eldest son came here to strike first."

"That's exactly what you said." Ji sighed again, and said again, "I don't know what my sister thinks. That child, Brother Jing, was born well, gentle and knowledgeable. It's also very good. Although he is only a scholar now, people say that he is bound to be able to pass the exam this year. If he wins a Jinshi next year in Chunwei, sister Yan will be a ready-made official wife if she gets married. She is still a regular wife. And I watched Jing Geer also have intentions for sister Yan, and I will definitely not treat her badly in the future. My sister is not happy about such a good marriage, I am afraid it is not because of lard Heart?"

"I'm afraid the concubine's intentions are even bigger. And although the second son is a good person, the third wife is not easy to get along with. This marriage is agreed by the concubine, and I'm afraid the third wife will not agree. Then No matter how submissive the third wife is on weekdays, the old lady thinks she can suppress her, but if the third wife clenches her mouth tightly and refuses to agree, the old lady may not be able to say anything. After all, the third wife belongs to the second son The biological mother, and the old lady is just a grandmother, and not a real grandmother."

"Sigh, Sister Yan, this child is really unlucky. But if he was born in a better family, it will not be the same as it is now." After sighing, Ji also stood up and turned around. She turned her head and said to Nanny Tao, "Since the eldest son entrusted me with a message, I have no choice but to pass it on. Let's go to my sister's place."

In fact, Mrs. Jian felt very tired after returning from the Jade Emperor Temple, and she was resting on the kang on her side.When Shen's mother came in to announce that the concubine was coming, Mrs. Jian frowned impatiently, wanting to wait to get up, so she asked Shen's mother to go directly to Ji and tell her to come back later That's it.Just thinking about it, how can a person not bow his head under the eaves?Now this meeting is not the one at home, she is the prostitute, and Ji is the concubine, and it is Ji who comes to pay her respects, and when she is impatient to see her, she can directly let the servant girl kick her out.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Jane could only get up and let Pearl invite Mrs. Ji to come in.

Mrs. Ji entered the Ming Room, sat on the rose chair, and smiled: "Did my sister disturb my sister's rest?"

Mrs. Jian also smiled and said: "Where. I didn't rest, but I was lying on the kang. I wanted to sleep but couldn't sleep. If I didn't sleep, I felt very uncomfortable. I was feeling uncomfortable, but it happened that you came here. Let's have a good talk, sisters, and let's get over this sleepiness."

The little maid served tea, and the two sisters chatted while drinking tea.

Mrs. Ji didn't come up, so she mentioned the few words Xu Zhongxuan explained, and after chatting with Mrs. Jian for a long time, she gave a wink and asked Nanny Tao to lead Mother Shen and the other maids out. Then she put down the teacup in her hand, raised her head and smiled at Mrs. Jane: "My sister came to disturb my sister today, because someone specially asked me to say a few words to my sister."

Mrs. Jian then asked: "Who? What are you talking about? You can't tell me face to face, but I have to ask you to tell me?"

Ji said with a smile: "I guess it's because he has no free time. And I'm an idler, and the two of us are biological sisters. It's the best thing for me to say."

Mrs. Jian was only more confused by what she said, and she was even more curious, so she hurriedly asked who asked her to come and say something.

Mrs. Ji smiled and said: "The man asked me to tell my sister that Sister Yan's body is too thin, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to conceive an heir in the long run. Because I was entrusted Let me tell my sister that it is for sister Yan's food in the future, and please work harder to make sure that sister Yan's health is better."

Mrs. Jian was startled for a moment, and then she just thought, who is idle and has nothing to do, and even wants to take care of this matter?
Therefore, she had a look of resentment on her face, and she was about to reprimand that person to meddle in other people's business, when she heard Ji slowly say: "The eldest son entrusted me to do this." I told you."

Mrs. Jane immediately shut her mouth, and a burst of ecstasy welled up in her heart.

Xu Zhongxuan entrusted Mrs. Ji to say such things to her?Does that mean that Xu Zhongxuan has taken a fancy to Jian Yan?Otherwise, why do you care so much about whether her body is thin or not, and whether she can conceive an heir?
At this time, Ji just stretched out his hand and slowly stroked his smooth cuff, while watching Mrs. Jane's reaction with cold eyes.

She is currently wearing a water-blue double-breasted cloak with light blue floral embroidery trim around the neckline, and light blue trim around the cuffs.

At this time, Mrs. Jian knew that Xu Zhongxuan had asked Mrs. Ji to say this, she had long since wiped away the anger on her face, and turned to a smile on her face, and just said: "Since the eldest son said this, Then I will naturally do it. It’s my hard-working sister who made a special trip for these two sentences.”

At the same time, she called Pearl again, telling her to quickly cut a chilled watermelon for Mrs. Ji to eat.Said it was hot, I troubled Mrs. Ji to make a special trip to eat two slices of watermelon to relieve the heat.

Ji's looks down on her very much.I just thought in my heart that instead of being the main wife of Xu Zhongjing, I would rather let sister Yan wait here for no apparent reason, and I don't know whether to be Xu Zhongxuan's wife or concubine in the end. Sister's own daughter?
She didn't want to eat the watermelon, but got up and said she wanted to go back.Before leaving, he said something special, saying that the eldest son had specifically explained to her, so that Mrs. Jian would not have to mention this matter to sister Yan, and she would talk about it slowly later.

Mrs. Jian naturally agreed wholeheartedly, and then asked Shen's mother to personally send Mrs. Ji to the door, while she sat there overjoyed, thinking in her heart that this Jian Yan is really up to date, but she is actually It was so easy for Xu Zhongxuan to fall in love with him, and he even asked Mrs. Ji to say such a few words. Doesn't it mean that Xu Zhongxuan still cared about Jian Yan?Otherwise, why think that she is thin and weak, and it will not be easy to conceive children in the future?It seems that she has to improve Jian Yan's food in the future, so she doesn't have to starve her every day because of her light body.
