The lucky star of rebirth

Chapter 204 Old Li
"Mrs."

Steward Qian bowed to the side and handed over the account book. Ji Songxian took it over and looked at it for a while, calculated quickly in his mind, and finally nodded when he saw it: "Although there are some small discrepancies, there is no big problem. When the water is clear, there will be no fish." I also know the truth, these shopkeepers have worked so hard, even if they transfer some money, they can make them follow me and live a bitter life."

When Steward Qian heard this, cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He thought that Ji Songxian was not very meddlesome, and he didn't care too much about many things. , I didn't think about it, I thought this lady didn't know how to be a director at all, so she had some idle thoughts.

But now after listening to these words, I realize that I don’t know how to read the account book. I really understand it too well, and my brain is too clever. I can calculate the accounts clearly by just flipping through the account book. The old tents for many years can't be compared, and after listening to those words, the wife clearly knows that the people below have careful thoughts, and this is a good point.

Steward Qian thought that if he went out for a while, he would have to beat those shopkeepers, and he had to be more vigilant, so as not to violate his wife's taboo.

"What madam said is that maybe those shopkeepers didn't come together for a while, and it's not necessarily true that they embezzled some. The younger ones went out and asked them to fill in the holes." Qian Butler flattered with a smile: "Madam has sharp eyes, what's the matter?" It's clear at a glance."

Ji Songxian took a sip of tea: "Well, who can have no problems, I'm not the kind of person who cares about it, let's forget it this time, but next time, if there is a dispute in the real family, ask him to come and tell me, don't embezzle it again." money in the account."

Steward Qian immediately nodded and answered with a bow.

After a while, Ji Songxian said slowly again: "Did you find the girl who was abandoned by her parents these days, or the family really couldn't survive?"

"Yes, yes." Qian Butler wanted to make a contribution, and quickly replied: "The little one asked someone to search for five or six in the countryside before he was born not long ago, because there are so many girls in the family who want to drown the girl, and there are a few more for her." The girls who were sold for the work of the brothers in the family have already been placed in Zhuangzi."

"If you have spare energy, we should find more girls who were abandoned by their parents not long after they were born." Ji Songxian thought for a while and then told Steward Qian: "After all, those older ones can survive even if they are sold, but they are just born. What is the crime of the doll, it is a sin to lose her life just because she is a girl."

Steward Qian also has a daughter in his family. He does not dislike his daughter, and he is a good father. Hearing what Ji Songxian said, he was full of sadness: "What the wife said is that it is too sinful. Boys and girls are destined by heaven. , Who doesn’t have a girl, and if they don’t give birth to a girl, they would hate to kill Lier, such parents can’t stand it, and they will be struck by lightning sooner or later.”

"Well, I know you love girls the most." Ji Songxian laughed when he said this: "It just so happens that my ex-son just entered the palace, and the queen mother rewarded me with some palace flowers. I never love those people, and you Take a few for your girl to wear and play with."

While talking, Ji Songxian asked Ruoliang to take a mahogany box and handed it to Steward Qian.

Steward Qian froze his hands and dared not take it, Ji Songxian smiled: "It's not something expensive, and besides, it's for your girl, it's not for you, there's nothing you can't take."

Steward Qian smiled: "Of course this palace flower is for the little lady, what will the little one look like if she wears it, wouldn't she be an old goblin?"

Not only Ji Songxian, but everyone around the beam laughed, Ji Songxian and his party laughed and said: "Okay, okay, don't talk about these things, you can leave."

Steward Qian smiled and saluted and exited the house, but did not go anywhere else. He went out through the back door and went directly to a house in the alley next to the Song Mansion. This second-entry house was only bought by Steward Qian a few days ago. Yes, because the Song Mansion is at the other end of the alley, and there are many houses of high officials and dignitaries on the side. The price is more expensive, and the valuable ones are worth it.

Steward Qian took the box and entered the house, and a thirteen or fourteen-year-old lady came up to meet her, and said with a smile, "Why is Dad coming back at this time, isn't he serving you at the mansion?"

Steward Qian also smiled: "You are at home today."

Mrs. Qian pursed her lips: "Father is so confused, did you forget that I am taking a shift today? Sister Coral is on duty today, so I can relax for a day."

While talking, Mrs. Qian was overjoyed when she saw the mahogany box in Steward Qian's hand, "Did you buy jewelry with me?"

Steward Qian handed the box to her: "Where did you buy it? It was given to you by your wife."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Qian immediately took the box and opened it to have a look, but saw that there were several fresh gauze palace flowers in the box, including apricot blossoms, peach blossoms, magnolias, and two camellias. It's really ordinary, that is, the dewdrops in the stamens are strung on top with crystals, and when the sun shines, they become more lively and lovely.

"It's so beautiful." Madam Qian immediately took one and put it on her head: "Father, isn't it beautiful?"

When Steward Qian saw his girl wearing flowers, her little face became more pink and ruddy, so she smiled: "It looks good, it looks good, my girl looks good in everything she wears."

Mrs. Qian was overjoyed for a while and then asked, "Why is Madam rewarding us?"

"My wife asked me to find some little girls whose parents were reluctant to kill them and adopt them into the Zhuangzi. It seems that I have done a good job these days, so I reward you with flowers and clothes." Steward Qian thought for a while and thought that was the case, and then replied said a word.

After hearing this, Mrs. Qian frowned: "How can there be such cruel parents in this world? Is it the fault of those little dolls to be a girl? Who wouldn't like to be a man upright, so that he can live and work as an official and slaughter in the future? This is What can I choose? What a crime, fortunately I was born in our family, and my father never disliked me, and loved me so much, otherwise, I wouldn't have suffered so much."

Madam Qian felt that Steward Qian was kind to her when she spoke like this, and for a moment she put her arm around Steward Qian's arm like a child and acted like a spoiled child: "Good Daddy, I only know that Daddy treats me well now, and I will take care of him when I have time tomorrow." Make clothes to wear, I learned another dish in the kitchen a few days ago, when Dad comes back tonight, I will make it for you."

Steward Qian's eyes were crowded together when he laughed at these words, and he patted Mrs. Qian's head dazzledly: "My girl is really filial."

The father and daughter chatted for a while, and Steward Qian told Mrs. Qian to leave the house after a few words. After going out, she naturally beat the shopkeepers of those shops, and then asked people to inquire about those who valued women more than men. people.

After Ji Songxian finished taking care of the family affairs, he went to Ji's house by car. When he saw Mrs. Wu, he told about General Geng Chao's personality one by one. Mrs. Wu called Ji Xin to listen. After hearing this, Mrs. Wu smiled Said: "It sounds very good. My son-in-law can make people feel at ease, but after all, I'm just an aunt. I should listen to my uncle and sister-in-law about this matter. Xin'er will go back and ask your parents tomorrow." .”

Ji Xin blushed and responded, but couldn't sit still for a while, so she quit.

Mrs. Wu took Ji Songxian's hand again and talked about the engagement with the Xing family and the Rong family. After talking about it for a few days, she let go of the engagement, and married Ji Wei in autumn, and married Ji Zhen in winter.

Ji Songxian was stunned for a moment: "Mother, the two elder brothers are the same age, since they are married, why don't they get married together?"

For a while, many memories in her mind were a bit confused, she only remembered that sisters and brothers in later generations had a lot of marriages together, but she couldn't remember the current taboos clearly.

Wu gave her a white look: "What kind of crazy talk is this? There is no reason for a family of brothers to marry at the same place. When your seventh brother gets married, the eighth brother must wait three months before getting married, otherwise it will be bad."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Wu gave her another example: "I didn't know about this, but when I was young, I lived in my hometown. At that time, the family in front of the house was not very good, and the two brothers were only one year apart. They all agreed on a daughter-in-law. In order to save some money, his family asked the two brothers to marry together. At that time, the new wife's sedan chair arrived at the door of the house, and the new daughter-in-law was about to enter the bridal chamber. Get out of the sedan chair, but the temper of the second elder's family is quick and fierce, and after getting off the sedan chair, they galloped into the bridal chamber, this is to overwhelm the elders."

"What happened later?" Ji Songxian asked anxiously as he had never heard of such a thing.

Mrs. Wu smiled: "The mother-in-law of this family is also a vicious one. After getting married, she started to make things difficult for the two daughter-in-laws. The elders are incompetent, and they are ruthless. They can't go on. Her natal family has some backbone. If they couldn't get through, they were forced to reconcile and leave. Later, they found another in-law's house for the old family, but how could the temperament of the second child's family be subdued by her mother-in-law? I dare not say a word, so I can live my life. That's it, the second child will be gone before forty, and the second daughter-in-law has been a widow for half her life. It can be seen that this marriage is the most restrictive .”

"Is there such a thing?" Although Ji Songxian was skeptical, he didn't say any more because it was a custom.

Mrs. Wu nodded her forehead: "You have to remember, these old rituals can't be wrong. If they are wrong, they will definitely make people laugh."

Ji Songxian nodded: "I wrote it down, and I will never forget it."

However, Mrs. Wu still feels that Ji Songxian is young, so it is inevitable that she does not understand many human affairs, so she pulls her to talk about many old etiquettes, and Ji Songxian remembers them all in his heart.

He also said that Ji Xin packed her bags and went home the next day, and told Ji Zhong and Lin about the marriage proposed to her by Mrs. Wu.

Ji Zhong thought for a while and asked, "What did your uncle and aunt say?"

Ji Xin lowered her head and smiled slightly: "My aunt said it was good, and my uncle said it was good, and my sister-in-law asked about it for a while, and said that General Geng is a very good man, a good one."

Lin said: "Your father and I don't have much knowledge, and we can't make up our minds on this matter. However, your uncle and aunt are all shrewd people, and you can't go wrong with your vision. Since they agree, it must be good."

Ji Zhong nodded, and then asked Ji Xin: "What do you think?"

Ji Xin thought about it and said: "My daughter married a sour scholar for the first time, and she also knows the virtues of some sour literati. If she remarries, she really doesn't want to marry a literati again. In this way, I think General Geng agrees."

"As long as you think it's good." Ji Zhong said solemnly: "Your uncle and aunt are just reminding you that this big idea is up to you. You make up your own mind. It all depends on how you live in the future. Even if you are really bad, you are not allowed to blame others."
