The lucky star of rebirth

Chapter 43
Ji Songxian ate all the rice in the bowl, and beckoned to Rao Liang to sit closer: "Is that the girl from the Gao family known as Jinling shrew?"

Smiling around the beam, Mimi nodded: "Young lady knows her, that's right. I don't know how many people in Jinling City disdain her when they mention her, but she is the empress dowager's niece, and the Gao family protects her. Who can do anything to her?" Her in-law's Cao family is suffering, especially her sister-in-law's background is not as good as hers, so don't ask her to bully her."

"What's the reason for this time?" Ji Songxian had heard about this girl Gao earlier, and also knew that the Cao family's house was in turmoil after marrying her. For example, mother-in-law, daughter-in-law, and husband and wife can't slap each other. You can't just blame one party for something, and don't look for the reason in the other direction.

"It is said that the sister-in-law of the Cao family said something to tell Miss Gao to listen, and she got angry and threw a tantrum. At this time, her mother-in-law turned to her sister-in-law again, and Miss Gao beat her when she got angry." Zhou Liang laughed. Hehe said, and then asked Ji Songxian: "The girl is always sensible, you tell me who is to blame for these things, I am confused."

Ji Songxian shook his head: "How can I understand, after all, it's hard to say anything about the rear house, we should all listen to it, and don't look into it carefully."

Zhou Liang smiled and nodded, while getting up to collect the leftovers, Ji Songxian took this opportunity to find a piece of material and a cardboard cut out of Ji Zhen's feet from the room to prepare to cut shoes.

She had just drawn the shoe pattern with a brush and picked up the scissors to twist the cloth, when she saw Suixin coming from Wu's room, Ji Songxian hurriedly put down the scissors and asked, "Why is Sister Suixin coming here, sit down quickly, I'm calling you to make tea."

Smiling casually, he waved his hands: "You don't need to make tea, I will go back later, the old lady has something to do, and I also took the time to tell the girl, the days are good these days, the old lady thought of taking the opportunity to start To make autumn and winter shoes, ask each house to take the cloth and take care of it by itself. If the cloth is not suitable here, the girl will ask you to go around the beam to find some good ones in the storeroom."

Ji Songxian hurriedly said: "No need, I have everything here, sister Xunxin, why don't you ask your sisters-in-law if they are missing."

Hearing this as he wished, he got up and said goodbye to Ji Songxian with a smile. Only then did Ji Songxian realize that there is no shortage of needleworkers in the rich family. The shoes and socks of the four seasons have always been made by someone early. I have to do it myself, this is also the case with Ji's family, when there is nothing to do in the summer, they will gather out the shoes and socks of the four seasons. In previous years, Yuanshen also started to make clothes and shoes at this time. This year, she forgot for a while. Unprepared.

After Zhuoliang came back, Ji Songxian took Zuoliang and started to get busy.

First, I found a lot of cloth for shoe uppers, and then got a lot of coarse white cloth to paste the soles of the shoes.

She asked Rao Liang to go to the kitchen to cook a pot of paste, cleared a place in the courtyard where the sun was shining, laid wooden boards, spread a layer of white cloth on it, pasted another layer of paste, and spread white cloth on top to compact it. , and paste again, so back and forth, until a thick layer of cloth was pasted before giving up.

After finishing the cloth, she and Zhuo Liang were sweating profusely. They went into the room and washed their hands and faces before starting to cut the shoe uppers.

It was already dark before the uppers were cut, Ji Songxian and Rao Liang moved the muddy soles to the porch and went to Wu's for dinner.

Just when she passed by, Ji Yi and Ji Gang also went home from Yamen, and Mrs. Wu was in a good mood, and kept calling for someone to prepare a meal.

The whole family sat down, and Ji Gang said something to Ji Yi: "Father, Lord Shangshu praised his son today, saying that the method he thought of to sort out the case files is very good. When the case files from the Ministry of Criminal Justice over the years are sorted out, he will I still want to ask His Majesty for a reward for my son."

Ji Yi was immediately happy when he heard it, stroked his beard and encouraged Ji Gang, pointing to Ji Songxian: "You have to thank your sister, if it weren't for your sister, how could you come up with such a good idea."

Speaking of this, Ji Yi sighed: "Among the father's eight sons and one daughter, only your sister is the most handsome and the most worthy of being a father. It's a pity that as a daughter, she can't be an official."

Ji Songxian wanted to cover her face, she knew her own virtues, don't say that she is an official, even if she was so careful in the small back house, she would be killed.

Ji Gang also said with a smile: "What my father said is that my sister is always good."

Xingyi said that he got up and saluted Ji Songxian: "Brother thanked Jiumei, this time the elder brother has the honor of sister."

Sun also smiled and said, "Thank you my sister. When my sister gets married, your brother and I will add a generous dowry to you."

After saying something, Ji Songxian blushed instantly, stomped his feet and said: "Sister-in-law always likes to make fun of people, but this time she just made fun of me, so don't think about me paying any attention to you in the future."

Mrs. Sun apologized to her with a smile, and then dragged her to point to other people: "You see, my sister is shy, but what my sister-in-law said is not bad at all, my sister looks like this, she has a talented temperament, and our family background , don’t you worry about not having a noble son-in-law?”

Ji Songxian's face was as red as blood, he felt his heart beating fast, and his face was hot, and he spat at Sun Shi: "Sister-in-law can't spit ivory out of a dog's mouth, so I won't tell you."

Sitting down to eat while talking, Ji Yi and Wu Shi were also amused, Ji Yi sighed: "Ms. Xian is getting more and more difficult, there are still people asking about you these days, maybe our family really needs to get ready. "

Ji Songxian's marriage has always been on the Wu family's mind. In any case, Ji Songxian had an engagement with the Jing family since he was a child, and he would not worry about getting married when he was old. But now that the Jing family has retired, Ji Songxian also because of Cheng Ping'an The reputation is not very good. Although she said she was not worried about getting married, none of the people who came to propose marriage was satisfied by Mrs. Wu, so she became worried. When Ji Yi said this today, she was overjoyed and asked, "Who is it? Can we meet our sister Xian?"

As soon as Ji Songxian heard the words, she became more and more hopeless, and immediately got up to avoid her, but Sun and Wang held her down together, and Sun whispered in Ji Songxian's ear: "Sister, listen, there is no one in our family. Those stinky rules, this is my sister's lifelong matter, and you must be satisfied after all."

In this way, Ji Songxian sat down again.

Ji Yi thought for a while before saying: "It's my son of the same age, the youngest son of Libu Lan Shilang's family, and his age is similar to our Xianjie's son. I also have a good temperament, but I don't know about it. The girl should ask someone to inquire about it."

That's all for the people around, Ji Wei and Ji Zhen immediately said after hearing this: "Let's inquire about my sister, if it's not good, it's okay, a good person like my sister should be worthy of a good one, then wait for the fussy Get rid of it early."

Mrs. Wu also said: "That's right. I'm not satisfied with the original Jing family's marriage. That Mr. Jing's health is not good, and many people were put in the house. Can we go, Mrs. Xian? We have to take a closer look this time." Well, we need to find a suitable one.”

Ji Songxian lowered his head, thinking of the Jing family for a moment, he couldn't help curling his lips, and thanked his family for retiring early, otherwise it would be depressing to marry such a family.

Waiting until he returned to the house after dinner, Ji Songxian was still thumping anxiously.

She touched her cheeks that were still a little hot, and asked her to go around the beam to fetch water to wash her hands. After lying on the bed, Ji Songxian couldn't sleep for a while and thought about something.

For a while, she thought about how unsatisfactory she was in getting married, and for a while, she thought about how her parents love her now, and her elder brother and sister-in-law are all good, but the food and clothing are worse than before, but her heart is very happy these days, if she wants to get married and leave At home, Ji Songxian was really reluctant to part with her, but she had to marry. If she stayed at home and became an old girl, it would inevitably disgrace her father and brother.

The more Ji Songxian thought about it, the more difficult he became, and he couldn't sleep for a while.

She turned over and slept on the couch next to her, and murmured around the beam to accompany the night: "Girl, go to sleep, aren't you tired after a busy day, and you have time to worry about it."

Ji Songxian laughed and closed her eyes without moving, but her heart was still in a mess, thinking that if a marriage was arranged, what would happen if her future husband-in-law would be as affectionate as Ping An?

After thinking so wildly, he fell asleep in the middle of the night, but he got up late the next day. When he opened his eyes, the sun was already high, and it seemed that it was already mid-morning. Ji Songxian sat up and asked around the beam: "Why don't you wake up?" Me, tell me to snooze like this, what will it look like if you tell me?"

Zhou Liang just smiled: "It's the old lady who doesn't let the slave call the girl. The old lady said that the girl is tired these days, and it's rare to sleep in. She told the girl to just go to sleep."

"Come on, let's go." Ji Songxian waved his hands and got up on his own, washed up first, then simply tied up his hair, fixed it with a few silver hairpins, and picked the latest flower hairpins in the courtyard, Unexpectedly, she looked more and more human than Huajiao, so she was stunned for a moment.

She took the beam out of the house, and before entering Wu's house, she heard a burst of cursing. Ji Songxian was startled and hurried in, but saw Wu's black face yelling, Sun and Wang stood by and frightened The crows and sparrows don't hear.

"Mother." Ji Songxian took a few steps to shake Wu's hand: "Who is angry with mother? Talk to your daughter, daughter and mother will vent their anger."

Mrs. Wu only felt a chill in her palm, looked up and saw Ji Songxian's face full of concern and anger, and then gradually subsided, pulled Ji Songxian to sit down, and said to the daughter-in-law standing below: "You all sit down too, I was so angry just now you I don’t know how to persuade you, but it’s my fault for telling you to stand for such a long time.”

The daughters-in-law hurriedly said they didn't dare, and for a moment they all smiled gratefully at Ji Songxian.

Although Wu's temper is not very good, he has always been reasonable. It is the first time that his daughter-in-law is involved in such a rage today. If Ji Songxian didn't rush over, maybe they will have to stand for a long time.

"Mother's sister Xian." Mrs. Wu pulled Ji Songxian up and down to look him up and down, his face full of worry: "You don't want to be deceived by others, and don't think about that kid from the Jing family anymore."

"Mother, what are you doing with what you said? Even if his family divorced, why would I think about it?" Ji Songxian didn't understand, it's hard to guess what Wu said without beginning or end.

"Alas!" Wu sighed, "The Jing family has no face and no skin. It's still a scholarly family. They don't even care about the slightest bit of face. It's a good thing we divorced early, otherwise..."

"What's going on?" Ji Songxian turned his head to ask Mrs. Sun again.

Mrs. Sun thought for a while before saying: "People from the Jing family came to the door early this morning, wanting to continue the friendship between the two families, saying that it was a misunderstanding at first, and now my son realizes that he is extremely ashamed, is it right? Stay with you, thinking about marrying our family again."

"Shameless and skinless." Ji Songxian was startled when he heard that, and understood why Mrs. Wu was angry.

Dare to withdraw this marriage if you want to, and if the Jing family wants to continue it, they have to continue it. It's really like everyone else is made of mud, let his family rub it round and flat, not to mention Ji Yi is still a dignified prime minister Well, even ordinary people don't bully people like this.

Not to mention Wu's temperament, even she was so angry that she wanted to curse.
