Nine-fold lotus of the famous family

Chapter 18
"So what if you rush over, it's just a black light!"

Bi Yuan said nonchalantly, but after she finished speaking, she was stunned, then jumped up after slapping her legs, and said happily: "Mother Cui and the others are going to deliver supper, if they knew that Sixth Miss would have rested already... ..."

"That's not it, you finally understand?"

Hongying smiled and pointed at Biyuan's forehead, "Isn't that why the girl asked you to visit Mingyue Tower and Biyou Pavilion before going?"

"Oh, the girl is still smart!"

Bi Yuan rubbed his forehead, but the smile on the corners of his lips did not change, and his heart was filled with joy.

"Okay, we don't need to worry about these things right now. Eat something, and we can't stay up for a long night. We can rest at the end of Haishi at least."

Ji Chonglian gave such instructions, Hongying and Biyuan responded one after another, and they shared the bird's nest and snacks, with the goods in their stomachs, and the work at hand was much faster, and today's work was completed in half past Haishi, washing and grooming Then went to bed and rested.

On the second day when Ji Chonglian went to Xuanyi Hall to pay her respects, she heard that the eldest lady had reprimanded Aunt Liu, so Bi Yuan secretly went to inquire about it, and then returned to the house and learned well.

"Aunt Liu, I'm not talking about you. The master is still busy with work, and you, a half-servant, sleep just right. The concubine and the concubine are different. The concubine is so motivated and hardworking. How can the concubine live in this place?" You're the only one who can teach such a lazy girl, but we can't compare to it!"

In the end, Biyuan still gave such a contemptuous glance, imitating [-]% of the expression of the eldest wife when she scolded Aunt Liu.

Hongying smiled and bent over, and Ji Chonglian also covered her lips and smiled. After this incident, Aunt Liu impatiently came to her to get some work, which relieved a little burden on their side.

"Aunt Liu won't plot against the girl because of this?"

After everyone had finished their music, Hongying asked worriedly from the sidelines.

"Even if we don't do this, does she still have less calculations?"

Ji Chonglian shook her head, but she didn't care too much, "What's more, Mama Cui accidentally smashed it when she was delivering lamp oil, but it has nothing to do with us at all. It's because the eldest wife sympathized with us and sent someone to bring us a supper. How do you know? Some people don't know how to praise!"

Bi Yuan also reacted, "Yes, the old lady also knows about this, even if Aunt Liu cried to the master, there is nothing wrong with it, she herself does not take half of the reason."

"You finally understand."

Ji Chonglian nodded approvingly, but Biyuan blushed, and said a little coyly: "My servant is usually a bit stupid, girl, don't be afraid of trouble, just point out more."

Mingyue Building

Ji Ziwei looked at the tent that was only half embroidered on the bed in front of her, and couldn't go on embroidering any more, so she piled it up in front of Changxi, "This bed is embroidered by you!"

"Girl," Chang Xi immediately made a bitter face, "The servant girl still has a quilt cover in her hand, and the two pairs of shoe uppers are not finished..."

This is the work that Aunt Liu gave to Mingyue Tower. The water spirit and water fragrance in Biyou Pavilion were brought up by the maids who had never touched needlework. Aunt Liu dared not give them to do it, so she had to keep it Some, and some were distributed to Mingyue Tower.

"Then stay up all night and do it!"

Ji Ziwei gave Chang Xi a hard look, but she immediately stopped talking.

The work of Mingyue Building was just assigned, and it was not too much, but the people in this room were used to being lazy, and suddenly received this urgent, urgent and demanding work, and they were in a hurry.

Ji Ziwei snorted, Changchun shrank her shoulders aside, didn't dare to lift her head, and only focused on the work in hand.

Ji Ziwei slowly walked to the window on the second floor, looking away, she could vaguely see the movement beyond the Emerald Lake.

Emerald Lake is very quiet at the moment, only a faint light is reflected on the window paper, Ji Ziwei's eyes are dim, if it is not because Ji Chonglian asks the eldest lady for some lamp oil, Aunt Liu will not be scolded, even she followed Eat Pai Tou.

Thinking of this, Ji Ziwei gritted her teeth fiercely, and said angrily: "What's there to be proud of? You're called noble and proud, but you're called a prostitute, and you don't eat as well as I do, and you don't live like me. Gao, even my father loves me, and sooner or later he will take away the title of your daughter-in-law!"

It was the first time that Ji's family had such a quiet New Year's Eve, without the dignitaries who greeted them when they went to Beijing, even most of the relatives and friends in the clan avoided them.

On the contrary, a few people came to give gifts, but they were not acquainted with each other before, and even Ji's family never looked down on them.

But the eldest wife did not dare to be negligent because of this, and returning to Danyang, this was their chance to rebuild their reputation, even if she wanted to respond to these people, she could only bite the bullet.

Mrs. Ji installed a small Buddhist hall in the back room of Xuanyi Hall. Apart from taking care of Mrs. Ji's daily life every day, she devotes her time to worshiping Buddha in her spare time. , Could it be that the old lady's yearning for power and wealth really stopped from now on?
Reunion dinners and New Year’s dinners are on display from noon to evening, and the dishes are constantly being served like flowing water. This is because the cost has been slightly reduced after arriving in Danyang, otherwise there are several floors full of them. To fill up.

Ji Chonglian and several sisters and brothers sat in the Xinuang Pavilion and ate hot soup cakes. Some fish and shrimp were cut into the soup cakes, and a layer of green onion was sprinkled on the surface. I ate with gusto, and even the other delicacies on the table seemed to be ignored.

Ji Chonglian took a look at Shi Yong and Shi Qiang brothers who were sitting not far away. The eldest looked more calm and introverted, but the second was a playful one. He kept looking out, listening to the sound of firecrackers outside, as if he wanted to fly out with his wings .

Shi Rou was about her size, with a palm-sized face, thin eyebrows and fine eyes, and she was very cheerful. After getting acquainted with her, she led everyone to talk, and asked who was older and who was younger, whether there were more months or less days. The age of the person was made clear before letting go of it. From this point of view, this girl has a very serious temperament.

Ji Chonglian has a good impression of her eldest aunt, so she naturally wants to get close to her children. Now it seems that these three are not difficult to get along with.

Ji Ziwei fiddled with the soup cakes in front of her with bamboo chopsticks, glanced at Shi Yong who was sitting upright, then turned to Shi Qiang and said, "Second cousin, are New Year's Days in Danyang so boring?"

Others didn't catch the slang in Ji Ziwei's words, but Ji Furong heard it, she frowned slightly, thinking she wanted to reprimand her, but then she thought that it's the New Year's Eve, talking too much would be annoying Feeling uncomfortable, she calmed down and said, "Sixth sister, what you said is wrong. Why are you from Danyang and we from Danyang? Now we are all from here. Could it be that you are still looking forward to celebrating the New Year in Shangjing?"
