Chapter 39
Jin Xi didn't know such an astonishing scene in the many courtyards of the Hongbin Building. She only heard that Mr. Yun Zong was drunk again the next morning, and was carried back to the Zhou Mansion by the staff of the Hongbin Building at dawn.According to past experience, after Mr. Yun Zong got a hangover, he would definitely sleep until after lunch the next day before getting up. After getting up, he hugged his guqin and sighed about his life, and the day passed.
This time is no exception, but this time Mr. Yun Zong didn't sleep until the sun was up, and he woke up without sleeping for three hours after dreaming of something, and he hugged the Guqin without even eating lunch to reminisce about the past.When the magpie was covering her ears and thinking about jumping into the river, Jin Xi was happily counting the silver bills.
"Is it okay to sell those beads?" Mother Ai, who went to the pawnshop to pawn beads early in the morning, was still having her calf cramps. She couldn't believe that Jin Xi had counted the bank notes several times in her hands and brought them back with her own hands. of.
"Of course! The sir told me to give it to me, of course I can arrange it as I like!" After counting several times, Jinxi finally confirmed that she was indeed holding 500 taels of silver bills, which were genuinely guaranteed to be exchanged by the official of the Dali Household Department. Tickets, she was a little bit excited. 20 taels of silver is enough for an ordinary family of four to eat for a year, and 500 taels is enough for her to live a lifetime even if she eats delicacies from mountains and seas and changes clothes a day.If she has money and travels all over the world, even if she goes out with the Zhou family one day, she, Ai Mama, and Qing Xing will not starve to death!
"You keep these. If you have a chance, go to the village chief Zhou outside the city and buy a few acres of land in the name of your ex-husband's relatives as a dowry for Qing Xing." Jinxi took out a 200 tael silver note and handed it to Ai Mom, make arrangements.On the way Village Chief Zhou sent her back, she had inquired about it. A good paddy field was 15 taels of silver per mu, including the deed tax charged by the government and the head money to settle down. 200 taels was enough to buy Qingxing A decent dowry.No matter how much suspicion is raised, I'm afraid of getting into trouble.
"You save these in Baoquan Bank to earn interest, and you find the rest to find a chance to quietly inquire about where there is a small house for sale in the city. It doesn't need to be big, as long as there are four or five rooms enough for the three of us to live in. Don't let anyone know !" Holding the remaining bank notes, Jin Xi was a little worried, Mama Ai really wasn't the type to do this kind of thing, but she really didn't have anyone around her.Moreover, there are too many people in Xuefeng Pavilion right now, if someone finds out that she has a huge sum of money in her hand, she won't be able to keep it, and it's better to replace it with something reliable.
"Don't worry, girl, even if this old slave takes his life, he won't ruin the girl's affairs!" Jin Xi has unconsciously regarded Qing Xing and Ai Mama as her own family members, and Ai Mama was so moved that she burst into tears. The sound of kneeling in front of Jin Xi startled Jin Xi so much that she didn't even bother to put on her shoes, and hurriedly climbed down from the kang to help Ai's mother.
"Which song is this singing again?" Before helping Mama Ai up, Jin Ling lifted the curtain and broke in without anyone reporting.Qing Xing, who had been guarding the door the whole time, followed closely behind Jin Ling. For some reason, she didn't dare to stop Jin Ling. She deliberately pretended not to hold the curtain steady, and lowered the soft blue and white curtain to cover Jin Ling's sight, while wiping her neck She winks at Jin Xi.
Jin Xi followed Qing Xing's gaze and swept the corners of his eyes, and saw the eldest lady looking over with a gloomy face, with Jin Yue following behind her, no wonder Qing Xing didn't dare to stop Jin Ling.
"My aunt has something to ask my niece to go to the Anluo Courtyard. My niece is really disturbed to go this trip in person!" Jin Xi hurriedly put on her shoes and took two steps forward, respectfully saluting the eldest lady.
"I'm paying my respects to the old lady, and I happened to be on the way back. The weather is good, so it's okay to take two steps." The old lady had a dark face as usual, but she said a kind word in her mouth.As if Jin Xi was struck by lightning, he immediately felt as if a weasel had come to his door.But with a smile on his face, he graciously ordered Haitang and Caiyue who came over after hearing the news to serve tea and snacks.
Figures shuttled back and forth in the small small room. From the corner of her eyes, she caught sight of Ai's mother wrapping the banknotes under her pillow, and Jinxi breathed a sigh of relief.Seeing that Caiyue was bringing the freshly brewed tea, she hurriedly took it, and brought it to Da Furen in a doggy manner, "This was rewarded by my ancestors a few days ago, and my niece and niece were stupid enough to memorize it several times but didn't remember it." The name, I just think it tastes good. My aunt comes from a family, so I have seen good things, my niece dares to ask my aunt to taste it, and then teach my niece what kind of tea it is!"
Youdao is a person who stretches out his hand without hitting a smiling face. There are few people in the world who can truly not be surprised by favor or humiliation. Jin Xi even put herself in the mud and stepped on it. The Da Furen finally showed a smile that was not easy to spot.He took a sip and taught in the tone of an elder: "This is the Lu'an melon slice from back then, with some licorice. It can cool off the summer heat and thirst. The ancestors drink this as herbal tea in summer. It's best for you to be young. Don't drink too much, be careful that the tea is too cold, you will lose your vitality."
"Thank you, auntie, for your concern. My niece will keep it in mind!" It was rare for the eldest lady to speak to her in a friendly manner, and Jin Xi cooperated with gratitude.But in my heart, I have to admit that the eldest lady has profound family knowledge, and it is not easy to learn the ability to taste the ingredients in the tea with just a sip.
The eldest lady seemed to be in a good mood, and she even gave Jinxi a few words of advice, what kind of tea to drink in which seasons, what kind of tea is best with which snacks and fruits, and how to cook the tea with somewhat ripe water. It felt like a harbinger of a storm coming.
At this moment, Jin Ling tidied up her hair that had been scattered by the curtain, and she didn't dare to scold Qing Xing in front of the eldest lady. When she looked up and saw Jin Xi chatting enthusiastically with the eldest lady, she didn't look at her elder sister at all. The small flame in the fire has burned into a raging fire.Before Jinxi finished her sentence, she covered her mouth and said with a giggle: "Sixth sister, you are welcome. My mother always treats our sisters as if they are already married. Otherwise, the eldest sister would not ignore Qingyu and risk her life to defend you in Prince Ping's mansion. Do you know I know, just because your elder sister offended the ninth princess, several flower fairs and poetry fairs recently did not invite elder sister to go!"
Jin Xi's temples were throbbing, she was afraid of what would come, and she knew that the Da Furen would not let her go easily with the matter of Prince Ping's Mansion.
"Didn't you two keep clamoring to come and see Jin Wen? Go talk to her for a while." The eldest lady spoke, and Jin Ling and Jin Yue exited the room tactfully.Mother Ai also took Qing Xing and the others out under Jinxi's signal, and Caiyue carefully closed the door behind the curtain.Only Jinxi and the eldest lady were left in the room.The eldest lady didn't speak, and Jin Xi didn't make a sound. After spending so long with Mr. Yun Zong, the only thing she learned was that being still is worse than moving.Since the eldest lady has come to the door in person, let the eldest lady take the initiative!
Jin Xi lowered her head and stared intently at her own toes, as if a bank note suddenly grew out of it. The eldest lady glanced at her, as if a storm was blowing through her eyes, the peace on her face was swept away, and she shouted in a low voice: "Evil barriers!" ! Not on your knees!"
"My niece doesn't know what I did wrong, please tell my auntie!" Jin Xi knelt down obediently with the attitude of a hero who would not suffer any immediate losses, and raised her eyes to look at the eldest lady with her back straight.
The eldest lady lowered her voice, "How did you provoke Uncle Changping's adopted son, how did you implicate Jue'er, and how did she get along with Prince Ping's son? Please explain it in detail from beginning to end. If there is a word that is not true, be careful! life!"
Jin Xi was suddenly puzzled. If the eldest lady wanted to fix her, she could be charged with the crime directly. Just picking out one of the female admonitions would be enough to beat her up, so why bother with Jin Jue?Jin Xi carefully recalled the scene in Prince Ping's Mansion that day, and while choosing words and sentences to elaborate on the less sensitive parts, he carefully pondered the intention of the eldest lady.Speaking of Prince Ping's son Xiao Feng and Jin Jue riding together, it was as if a flash of lightning flashed through his mind, and Jin Xi immediately understood everything.
Not only did she understand the purpose of Da Furen's visit today, but she also understood why Jin Jue would rather offend Princess Nine than come forward to help her that day!
Thinking of the embarrassment between the eldest lady and the daughter of her first relative, she wholeheartedly wanted to send Jinjue into the palace, but Jinjue had her own heart, and quietly arranged for her own future, even willing to risk her reputation.The seriousness on Jin Xi's face was almost gone, she had to secretly pinch her own thigh so as not to laugh on the spot.Is this the legendary dark under the lamp?Da Furen talked about the rules every day, staring at others to find fault with others, but the girl who was trained by her own hands did such a thing, this slap is really loud!
In the scene where Xiao Feng teased the Ninth Princess in Prince Ping's Mansion, Jin Xi dared to vouch with his head that Xiao Feng was the kind of person with a "pig face and a loud heart".A person like him would be led by the nose by Jin Jue just because Jin Jue looks like a fairy?I'm afraid that the falling flowers are intentional, and the flowing water is ruthless.But this matter has nothing to do with Jin Xi, she is happy to watch the play.
"You mean that Prince Ping rides with Jue'er on the same horse, but he doesn't have skin contact...handshake...Jue'er is just pulling his belt?" The words used each time are lesser in nature, and they are not so much questioning Jinxi as expressing her expectations.
At this moment, Jin Xi really couldn't make up his mind, whether to follow the words of the eldest lady, or to directly inject a ruthless drug to drive her to death.Calculating gains and losses, Jin Xi nodded solemnly, "Eldest sister was taught by my uncle's mother. She has a noble temperament and a virtuous personality. She was forced to share a ride with the prince for the sake of brotherhood under the threat of the nine princesses. How could she make such a move?" Things that are not in line with etiquette? Even if my aunt doesn't believe my words, she should believe in my sister's character!"
The eldest lady let out a long breath, and her hanging heart fell back to her stomach.Of course she knew Jin Jue's temperament, otherwise she would not have deliberately avoided Jin Jue and came to Xuefeng Pavilion for questioning in person, even under the guise of Jin Ling and Jin Yue.
Standing up and looking around the room where Jin Xi lived, he frowned, "My siblings are getting more and more confused, how can Xuefeng Pavilion squeeze you and Jin Wen in such a small place, is it that the second room is so difficult that they don't even have a room? You pack up your things , I will ask my siblings to arrange another suitable room for you."
"Thank you for the kindness of my aunt, but the fourth sister just came back, and I happened to be close to her. I am familiar with this place, so I don't want to change places." I don't know if the eldest lady wants to change her house to reward her for being honest, or to warn her in the future Don't talk nonsense.Jin Xi quickly put on a flattered expression, thanked him but insisted on not moving.
The Zhou family is decided by the eldest lady, but the second room is the second wife's world. She will ask the eldest lady to come forward to help her ask for a house after she eats crazy beef.Even if the second wife is forced to change her house, she can't be torn apart when she turns around?
After finally sending the eldest lady away, Jin Xi reached out and touched under the pillow, almost knocked out of her wits.The handkerchief was gone, and the banknotes wrapped in the handkerchief... were gone too!
Thinking about May [-]st in a few days, hee hee:) Although I didn’t plan to go out and think about it, I was very excited, and I can justifiably be a lazy bird:)
