The lucky star of rebirth

Chapter 16
Nourishes...

Ji Yi felt a little sour, and looked at Cheng Huaijin with some complaints: "Aren't you afraid that I will reveal your identity?"

The expression on Cheng Huaijin's cold face did not change at all: "It's all up to Ji Xiang whether to say it or not, I am open-minded, and I just don't want to deceive Ji Xiang about this matter."

Ji Yi didn't ask Cheng Huaijin why he didn't go back to recognize his father even though he was the son of Cheng Guogong's mansion, but just smiled: "That's it, Xie Li will accept it, and the commander will be inconvenient in the humble house." Stay, it’s better to say goodbye earlier.”

Cheng Huaijin was not angry at Ji Yi's obvious attitude of seeing off guests, she got up and clasped her fists and said, "I'm leaving."

He strode away without turning his head to look at the person or thing in Xiangfu, but Ji Yi had a better impression of this person, stroked his beard and nodded: "He is quite a man with a heart."

When Ji Yi returned to his room, both Wu Shi and Ji Songxian nervously stepped forward and asked, "What are the people from Jinyiwei doing here?"

Ji Yi explained Cheng Huaijin's identity and the purpose of coming here, and then told Wu Shi and Ji Songxian: "I don't think he wants people in Cheng Guogong's mansion to know his identity, so you should just listen to it." , don’t tell others.”

Wu nodded naturally: "Baby, you think too much, I'm not the kind of talkative, so I can't talk to others."

Although Ji Songxian is also nodding, but her heart is like a mess, she really did not expect that the Commander-in-Chief is the son of the Song family, the legitimate son of Cheng Guogong's mansion, and also her fiancé-in-law Cheng Huaijin who was justified in the previous life.

Thinking of Cheng Huaijin's serious expression with a cold face, and the merciless search and arrest of courtiers, for some reason, Ji Songxian felt a little distressed.

Cheng Huaijin's life in this life is really too miserable. She was taken away by someone since she was a child, and she didn't enjoy the love of her parents for a day. His biological mother died tragically, and his father ignored him for many years.

Moreover, Cheng Huaijin still holds such a deadly official position.

The position of the commander looks beautiful, but it is really not a good seat. Such a person is just a knife in the emperor's hand, and a dog of the emperor. He is released to kill and bite people. There were too many people, but the emperor killed the donkey, and the anger of the courtiers would definitely put him to death.

Thinking so, Cheng Huaijin's life has been a tragic failure.

Ji Songxian thought of her previous life, which was such a miserable failure. It seemed that she and Cheng Huaijin, a fiancee couple who had never met before, had some sympathy for each other.

Although I have some sympathy for this person, Ji Songxian is just a daughter of a boudoir, and she is not familiar with Cheng Huaijin, even if she has something in her heart, she can't say it out, she can only think about it and let it go.

Putting Cheng Huaijin's affairs aside, Ji Songxian and Wu went to the back garden to plant vegetables. It was late spring, and it was a good time. Wu was hoeing the ground, and Ji Songxian followed behind to sow seeds, and planted a large piece of small green vegetables .

After the planting was over, Ji Songxian asked Ruoliang to fetch a basin of water. She and Mrs. Wu washed off the dirt on their hands, and then looked at the small cucumber with thorns on the top of the melon. Staring at those cucumbers, she went over to pick them off and washed them for her. The two mothers crunched a cucumber each.

Ji Songxian only felt extremely happy in his heart.

She has lived for so many years, and has never been so comfortable. After eating a cucumber, she stared at Wu Shi, Wu Shi felt so soft in her heart, and put the last one that was tender and crispy. The cucumber was also handed to her.

Ji Songxian broke two pieces and gave one to Wu Shi. He ate half of the cucumber with a smile on his face. He only felt that his appetite was so great that he might be able to eat another bowl of rice at noon.

She told Mrs. Wu that Mrs. Wu gave her a white look: "You used to say that you wanted to be a serious boudoir daughter, and you didn't want to help your mother with work. You were bored in the room all day, either reading or embroidering. You didn't move easily, so naturally you couldn't eat. Entering things, although I have worked hard growing vegetables with my mother in the past few days, I have whetted my appetite, and it is inevitable to eat more. If you work with your mother for a while, your bones will definitely become stronger."

"It's my daughter who made a mistake before." Ji Songxian quickly admitted his mistake.

Looking at the green vegetable garden, Ji Songxian couldn't help but think of some words that Song Huier taught her.

At that time, Song Huier told Ji Songxian that if he wanted to live in Duke Cheng's mansion, he must be virtuous, and he had to pretend to be virtuous. Otherwise, life would be even more difficult. When Ji Songxian asked her why, Song Huier only said: " Only weak."

She thought for a long time and although she understood, she was still a little confused, so she asked Song Huier again, and Song Huier told her: "Because you are in a weak position in Duke Cheng's mansion, you must obey the strong and follow the strong's will." Life, if one day you become a strong person, you can live freely. At that time, you will wear simple clothes and eat plain food. People will only say that you live frugally, which is quite old-fashioned. If you like luxury, people will praise you for your taste. After all, everything is right.”

She understood at the time, but now that she thinks about it carefully, her heart becomes more transparent.

Relying on Wu Shi, Ji Songxian said with a smile: "Mother, I really missed it before. I just wanted to learn from those boudoir daughters and learn how they live, but I didn't want to think about it. It’s different, even if I keep learning, I’m just painting a tiger but not a dog.”

Wu Shi looked at Ji Songxian in shock, and tears fell from his eyes for a long time: "My son has really grown up, and he understands like this."

She stroked Ji Songxian's long hair and whispered: "It turns out that your father's official position is getting bigger and bigger every day, but I still like to grow vegetables. Many noble people will laugh when they see my hobby when they come to our house. Once I feel ashamed." Your father wanted to shovel all the vegetables and plant them with flowers and plants, but then your father stopped me."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Wu led Ji Songxian and walked slowly towards the main courtyard, and said, "Your father told me that people laugh at me now because your father's official position is not high enough. If you wait until one day he will be an official When I am tall enough, if I grow vegetables, others will only say that I am indifferent by nature, and I always like the joy of farming. If I grow flowers, others will follow my example. My preferences will be praised by others, and no one will dare say what."

Ji Songxian looked at Mrs. Wu, and Mrs. Wu smiled: "When your father becomes a chancellor, no one will gossip in front of me anymore. I have lived such an old age, and I have figured out a truth, be a man , the most important thing is to be happy with yourself, and you must not blindly imitate others because of your face or something, so that not only will you be unhappy, but you will also be told that ugly people do more things."

"Yes." Ji Songxian replied respectfully: "What mother said is that the daughter has been educated, and she will not think about it in the future."

Mrs. Wu patted Ji Songxian's hand with a smile: "Mother is happy today, I will cook for you in a while and get you some side dishes."

Ji Songxian also hurriedly said: "Let me help my mother, I'm getting older every day, and I have to learn some cooking skills."

Seeing that she really wanted to learn, Mrs. Wu took her into the kitchen, and the two mothers washed the dishes, washed the rice and cooked, when they saw Mrs. Wu's girl rushing over as she wished, and whispered: "Madam, Mrs. Madam Duchess is here to visit."

"People from Chengguo's mansion?" Mrs. Wu was a little disgusted, and Ji Songxian didn't like it when he heard it.

"Please go to the main hall." Wu Shi said casually, put the washed rice into the pot, added some water, asked the cook to cook, and took Ji Songxian back to the house to freshen up and change clothes before going meet guests.

Ji Songxian didn't want to see the people of Cheng Guogong's mansion again, and only said that he wanted to go back to his room to rest when he was tired. Mrs. Wu thought that she had committed suicide because of Cheng Ping'an, and she didn't want to have another twists and turns, so she told her to go by herself.

But when Mrs. Wu packed up and went to the front hall, she saw Mrs. Zhou, Mrs. Cheng Guogong, wearing a purple embroidered satin gown and a moonlight satin skirt, drinking tea in one hand, but picking it up in her mouth: "This tea is also good." It’s not bad, but it’s not as good as the ones in our mansion.”

The girl behind her also responded delicately, Wu's face darkened, and after a few steps, the girl brought a cup of warm tea over, and Wu took it up and drank it in one gulp: "Tea is just something to quench your thirst. , I don’t care what is good or bad, I just know that good tea is good if you quench your thirst.”

Her words made Mrs. Zhou's face look ugly, and she cursed Mrs. Wu in her heart as a mud-legged fool, but she was thinking about her son's request, Ji Yi's identity, and Ji's family. The eight accomplished sons suppressed their anger, and said with a smile on their faces: "What Mrs. Ji said is that tea naturally quenches people's thirst, and what can quench thirst is good."

Wu's face softened a little, and he looked at Zhou: "I don't know what the Duke's wife is doing in the humble house?"

The Ji family has always had no friendship with Cheng Guogong's mansion, and they have never visited each other on New Year's Day, even the guests from the two mansions would not invite each other. Wu Shi really doesn't understand why Zhou Shi came to the house suddenly.

When Mrs. Zhou heard Mrs. Wu's question, she quickly smiled and said, "It's really a great thing. Mrs. Ji also knows that Mrs. Feng, my daughter-in-law, has passed away."

Wu Shi nodded: "I've heard about it too."

Mrs. Zhou covered her mouth with a chuckle and said again: "Speaking of which, my Dalang saw the daughter of your family when he went out a few days ago, and he fell in love with him at the first sight. When he came back, he argued with me to marry your daughter. He told me to reprimand him, saying that he was messing around, how could the daughter of your mansion come to my house to be a concubine? Only Dalang really likes the daughter of your mansion, and I feel very distressed when I don’t think about tea or food these days. Mrs. Feng went, because I thought that my Dalang had no real housekeeper and director, and the daughter of your family had just been divorced by the Jing family, so it was quite appropriate. If our two families get married, we really have all four corners. If it's a good thing, come here and ask Mrs. Ji if this can be done."

Yuan Zhou said that when Feng Shi passed away, although Wu Shi was unhappy, he was not very generous, but every word Zhou heard was belittling her son who slept at home, and she was promoting her romantic son. Wu's temper rose, and when Zhou said that Ji Songxian was dismissed by the Jing family, Wu was even more angry, and stood up as soon as he slapped the table.

"Put your mother's dog fart, no one knows what kind of virtue your son is in Jinling City, and he pulls all kinds of smelly and smelly things into the house. Feng Shi was pissed off by your family, so pissed off. Mrs. Feng is not enough, you still want to call my sister into the fire pit of your house, you can daydream." Mrs. Wu was so angry that she scolded so loudly that it almost hurt Zhou's ears.
