Chapter 180

"It's a slave!"

Biting her teeth, bi'er knelt down. "Yesterday I saw that the third young master was lovely, so I gave him a piece of beef jerky. Please punish me!"

Qiaowei pulled her up: "I did it. Why do you take the blame for me? If you want to punish me, it has nothing to do with others! "

She spoke with a strong sense of reason, without any sense of guilty. People didn't know whether she was really not afraid of the rules of Ji's family, or whether she didn't know what kind of rules Ji's family had.

The atmosphere became a little weird.

Old lady Ji looked complicated: "why do you want to eat beef jerky for brother Liu?"

Qiao Wei said wrongly, "at that time, I only had beef jerky in my hand. I don't know if he can't eat it. In our village, children as old as Niu Ge'er can eat grass roots, bark and cold meat. I was ill last year. I was in a coma for several days. Jingyun and Wangshu looked for food everywhere. They ate all the cold steamed bread, radish and fat meat they could eat. When they were thirsty, they grabbed a handful of snow and stuffed it into their mouth. They didn't eat their stomachs badly. I thought all the children were like this. "

When the old lady heard that her little great grandson had suffered so much, she felt painful. Which of the children of the rich family were not surrounded by servant girls? If it's in your mouth, you're afraid to melt. If you take it in your hand, you're afraid to drop it. How can you be willing to suffer the slightest bit of hardship? But her two little great grandchildren, who had no mother to take care of them, ran outside to find something to eat, and even ate cold snow As soon as she thought of the scene of two little bodies squatting on the ground to catch the snow, she felt a sharp pain in her heart. It's more than one day. It's a few days. How do they sleep? Who covered the quilt? Will you wake up in the middle of the night? Don't you have to be hungry if you don't find something to eat?

The old lady took the two little guys into her arms. Now they can't see the signs of starvation and cold. But the old lady still asked painfully, "have you suffered a lot?"

Where do children know what suffering is? Wang Shu tilted his head and thought, "grass roots are very bitter." Brother Er Gou took it to the private school and gave it to her!

I've also eaten grass roots. The old lady's heart aches. She just wants to give up her life and exchange the years of her great grandson.

Jingyun said: "great grandmother, are you angry with your mother? Why is it my mother's fault that he has a bad stomach? Great grandmother, do you have a bad stomach when you eat beef jerky? If everyone can't eat bad, and he is the only one to eat bad, isn't it his problem? "

A servant woman dressed in soy colored buttresses said with a smile: "young master, you don't know something. Brother Liu's belly is more delicate than ordinary people. You can't compare with ordinary people when eating."

I'm still blaming Qiao Wei.

Ji Ming Xiushen looked at her faintly: "my son talks, when is it your turn to interrupt?"

The maid choked.

Woman magnanimous ground says: "it is not what serious illness, rest a few days good."

Qiao Wei said in secret, is this little stepmother intentional or unintentional? The mother surnamed sun is not here. She must have gone to take care of Liu Ge'er. Did she tell the little stepmother that she ate beef jerky for Liu Ge'er?

Old lady Ji said to Qiaowei, "you're not to blame for this." Looking at Ji Shangqing and the woman again, "I told you earlier that the child can't be too proud to be raised. He can't eat this or that. On the contrary, he makes his body weak. He is the elder brother of Ji's family. He is raised with bird's nest and ginseng, but he is not strong at all! Look at Jingyun... "

As Mrs. Ji said, her eyes swept over Jingyun's tiny arm, and her voice beat and rubbed Wangshu, "his sister, how strong!"

Qiaowei: it really doesn't matter to describe a girl as strong

Ji Shangqing leaned back slightly: "yes, my son remembers."

The woman also owes to lean a body way: "daughter-in-law remembers mother to teach."

The atmosphere is a little stagnant.

Rong's mother said with a smile: "come on, tea, tea. My mother-in-law hasn't drunk this bowl of daughter-in-law's tea yet!"

Qiao Wei doesn't want to kneel any more. Thanks to the little stepmother, she was almost scolded by the old lady. Although the little stepmother may be unintentional, I'm sorry she's angry. She has a devil in her heart. She sees that everyone is a devil. The little stepmother doesn't mind, but it seems to her that "although you win me, you still have to kneel me". Does it feel really special No!

Rong's mother arranged the cushion and said with a smile, "young lady, please."

"Please what?" Ji Mingxiu suddenly opened his mouth.

Rong's mother was stunned: "tea for your wife."

Ji Ming xiudan said, "my mother is not here. Who do you want her to respect? Can she take the place of my mother and the princess of Daliang dynasty? "

The status of Xuxian is not as good as that of her original match. If she is favored, she can be treated as her original match in her husband's home. The little stepmother seems to be very favored, but if she is favored again, she can't be compared with a princess, unless she is also a princess.

But is she?

She's not.

For other people, no one dares to refute the stepmother's face.

After all, the first thing that she can sit here is to get the approval of the master. The master agrees. What can a son say?

It's a pity that this son doesn't sell his master's face.Qiao Wei looks at Ji Mingxiu, a little worried about his "Treason".

Ji Mingxiu has no worries about this: my mother is a princess.

The second generation is so willful!

Ji Shangqing looks at Ji Mingxiu with deep eyes. Ji Mingxiu does not give in to him. His eyes are staggered, and a strange atmosphere fills the air.

It's no secret that the father and son of the Ji family don't agree with each other in the capital. Ji Shangqing did a good job in the cabinet when he was ousted by his son. Of course, it's just a rumor. The rumor itself shows that the relationship between the father and son of the Ji family is not good.

Seeing that the father and son were about to fight, Mrs. Ji quickly made a comeback: "Xiao Wei, meet your uncle and aunt!"

Ji Shangqing's eyes are cold.

Ji Mingxiu curled his lips with pride.

Rong's mother leads Qiao Wei to the lower left and introduces Ji's relatives to her one by one.

"This is the second master, the second lady."

Ji Sheng, the second master, is a gentle and handsome man with a kind face and a smiling face. At first sight, he looks very easy to get along with. He is a concubine. His mother has passed away. His wife's surname is Li. She is the daughter of an aristocratic family. In Daliang, the difference between the concubines is very big. Rao is so. The concubines of Ji's family still attract many aristocratic families.

The second lady is a little tall, with a faint smile.

Both gave red envelopes.

Qiao Wei took it and said thank you politely.

Rong's mother took Qiao Wei to the lower head on the right, pointing to a beautiful woman in purple and a man in brown, "this is miss four, this is my uncle."

The beautiful woman wants to be Ji Shuang. Ji Shuang's appearance is slightly inferior to Ji Wan's, but she is also beautiful and moving.

Ji Shuang affectionately took Qiao Wei's hand: "good nephew daughter-in-law, I'm looking forward to you! You don't know that I'm looking forward to this boy's marriage. I'm looking forward to losing my eyes! After listening to your grandmother say, he has women and children, and I want to rob you all! I had a quarrel with them about the December day that qintianjian originally set for you! I said that a family of four is going to reunite. You won't let it, will you? They have changed the days. "

Qiao Wei's skin smiles, but she doesn't smile. It's you who are so worried. I just said how can the wedding come so fast?!

Aunts are so unlovable!

Ji Shuang is Ji Mingxiu's direct aunt. Her intimate degree is not comparable to that of Er Fang. She gives a big red envelope and quietly gives Qiao Wei a small one.

His uncle Qin Bingyu was not high born, but he was a good scholar. He was a good scholar in the 11th year of emperor Longdi. I don't know why he didn't join the imperial court. He was gentle and had a good temper. It seemed that he had some Shy.

Ji Shuang said with a smile: "don't mind, your uncle is a Muggle with a saw mouth! But he is most enthusiastic. You must come to Beifu when you are free! "

Qiao Wei guest way: "I will, thank aunt, thank uncle."

After Qiao Wei met her elders, the servant girl and two beautiful girls came forward to greet Qiao Wei. One is Ji Wanyu, the daughter of Ji Shuang, who is 14 years old; the other is Ji Ruyue, the daughter of the second master, who is 15 years old.

Listen to the name, you will know the level of identity.

Wanyu is a legitimate daughter, and Ruyue is a common daughter.

Ji Shuang's stomach is still pregnant with a, five months, the doctor said it was a boy.

After that, the old lady asked Jingyun and Wangshu to call someone. Although they had seen each other yesterday, they didn't get a red envelope yesterday. Today, they call someone with a red envelope.

A circle down, the two small bags are full.

The atmosphere finally relaxed a lot. After that, Ji Shuang took the lead, caught two steamed stuffed buns and teased them vigorously, which made a room full of people laugh. Half a morning passed by.

They got up and said goodbye to Mrs. Ji.

Mrs. Ji nodded: "you go to work first, and remember to come to dinner in the evening."

The Ji family is too big to walk around. They usually eat their own food. Today, it's the bride who comes in. According to the Convention, the whole family get together.

Everyone should, one by one out of the luomei courtyard.

Qiaowei is also ready to lead her back, but is stopped by old lady Ji: "Xiaowei, you stay, I have something to say with you."

Qiaowei patted xiaobaozi on the shoulder: "go to play in the yard."

Jingyun and Wangshu went happily.

Mrs. Ji took Qiao Wei's hand and went back to the room. She opened the box and took out a delicate peach wood box. Qiao Wei opened it and saw that it was full of jewelry.

Ji Laofu said: "I'm too old to wear these things. Can you take them?"

A box full of gold! Gold, purple gold, red gold

Qiao Wei's eyes were dazzled.

"Do you like it?" Asked Mrs. Ji.

Qiao Wei swallowed: "like."

Who doesn't like so much gold? One day there is no money, take it out to be, maybe you can be a villa.

Mrs. Ji loved her forthright nature. She patted her hand and kindly said, "just like it. I still have some in the warehouse. Tomorrow, let mother Rong take them and send them to you."Qiao Wei said: "no, this box is enough. There are too many for me to wear."

She doesn't like to wear jewelry. She saves all her jewelry, which is easy to sell in the future. But this box is enough. No matter how much, she will be embarrassed.

Mrs. Ji was not reluctant. She talked with her for a while and asked about her former days in the countryside. She thought it over and said it.

In fact, how is she doing? Mrs. Ji will send someone to ask. She doesn't have to lie or add fuel to it.

Two kids are addicted to throwing pots in the yard.

"Can we have lunch with my great grandmother at noon?" Wang Shu asked imploringly.

Qiaowei nodded her head: "don't you want your mother so soon?"

Wang Shu grabbed the cerebellum bag and said, "Oh, no, no, we want our mother!"

Qiao Wei a smile: "OK, you play, don't make too much, great grandmother is old, you have to be careful, don't bump, knock, especially Wangshu."

Wang Shu spat out his tongue.

Qiaowei takes bi'er out of luomeiyuan.

Bi'er said in a low voice: "madam, just after my servant inquired, the eldest lady's surname is Xun, her ancestral home is Gusu's, and her father is Gusu's senior official. She is the eldest daughter in the family. She has both talent and affection, and is quite famous in Gusu."

Oh, I'm still a talented woman.

Qiao Wei pick eyebrow: "my father-in-law is Mu Ming beg to marry her?"

"No Bi'er and Xiao Wei have been together for a long time, and become the second news expert. Qiao Wei and Mrs. Ji are chatting inside. She grabs some old women and swipes the news out. She says: "the eldest lady has lived in Ji's house for several years, and has known the master very early."

Qiao Wei touched her chin: "how early is it? I think she is about the same age as Mingxiu. When my father-in-law knew her, she was still young, wasn't she

Bi'er nodded and said, "it's very small. At that time, the princess was still alive. Once upon a time, my uncle did not live in Ji's house. The old man objected to the marriage between the old man and the princess. The old man took the princess to live in a courtyard and gave birth to miss Wan and my uncle. My uncle grew up to six years old and the whole family moved back. Xun's family also lived in Ji's house at about that time. "

"Why do you want to live in?" Qiao Wei asked suspiciously.

Bi'er said, "her father has something to do with Ji's family. Before he died, he entrusted her to Ji's family."

Tuogu, ha ha.

It's dog blood.

Qiao Wei light way: "lived how long?"

Bi'er thought about it and said, "a mother said five years, a mother said seven years. I don't know who I should believe. Anyway, they both said that the princess liked Xun's family when she was alive."

Qiao Wei sneered: "ha, does my mother-in-law know that the little girl she likes climbs her husband's bed when she grows up?"

"This..." Bi'er didn't know how to answer the question. She wanted to tell her wife that Xun's life at Ji's was not good at first, and everyone didn't take her seriously. After the princess came, she was pitiful and asked her to come to her side, and her life was getting better day by day. But now the lady is angry, she dare not add fuel to the fire.

"Shameless." Qiao Wei cold voice way.

Bi'er was terrified: "Xun Shi It's shameless. "

Qiao Wei said: "my father-in-law, he should be treated as a daughter. How can he raise himself in his room? If I were a father, I would be able to climb out of the grave now. "

"I'm afraid her father It's very funny. " Bi'er said.

A little orphan girl can marry the owner of Ji's family. It's just that the ancestors are burning incense, OK?

Yes, isn't it Kaohsiang? An orphan girl, who has no one to depend on, depends on her father's reputation. Who is willing to marry such a woman? Even if Ji's family is willing to support her, how long can it be?

Staying at Ji's is really her best way out.

Now she gave birth to a son again, and in any case, she had to rely on him for the rest of her life.

"Tut, this little stepmother is a character."

Coax the princess, married the owner, she is not really good to the extreme, is the means to a certain extent.

Qiao Wei light smile: "interesting."

While they were talking, the master and the servant went out of the yard.

Xunlan and Ji Mingxiu are standing under the locust tree. Most of Ji Mingxiu's body is back to this side. Qiao Wei can't see Ji Mingxiu's face clearly, but she can see Xun Lan's face clearly. Ji Mingxiu doesn't know what to say to her. Her face is not happy and her eyebrows are slightly frowning.

Even frowning is full of fairy Qi. It's so beautiful that the world has lost its color.

She opened her mouth as if to explain something, but she saw Qiao Wei standing at the gate of luomei courtyard and swallowed the words again.

She turned and left.

Qiao Wei stepped forward, shoulder to shoulder with Ji Mingxiu, looked at her disappearing figure, and said with a smile: "what did green plum and bamboo horse say?"

Ji Mingxiu frowned and looked at Qiao Wei.

Qiao Wei covered her face and yawned: "if you don't say it, I'm too lazy to listen! Bil, let's go"Yes." Bi'er gives Ji Ming a salute, catches up with Qiao Wei and goes back to qinglianju.

Qinglianju is not the courtyard where the princess lived, nor is xunlan's Tongyuan. This is the advantage of being a princess. People have built their own princess house in Ji's family. Even if there are 100 stepmothers in the back, none of them can live in it.

After the death of the princess, Ji Shangqing and Ji Wan moved out of the house. At first, they lived in Tongyuan. Not long after Ji Wan got married, Xun LAN married into Tongyuan. Ji Mingxiu moved into Qinglian house because it was not suitable for her to live in it.

Qinglianju was originally built for Jiming. It's not wrong for him to move in early when he gets married.

Although he moved in, the total number of days he lived in a year was not more than his own.

He can't tell who the servant is.

Qiaowei sat down, took a sip of cold tea and said to bi'er, "is our room too cold?"

Bi'er nodded and said, "yes, there are not many people. It's reasonable to say that madam is a bridegroom passing by. After giving tea to her in laws, the servants should come and greet her one by one, and then tell her what they call and what they usually do. Please show her."

Qiao Wei said, "then why do you think they didn't come?"

Bi'er hesitated for a long time: "Uncle What do you want

Qiao Wei said with a faint smile: "tell them not to burn a mouthful of hot water for me? I'm afraid someone's trying to give me the upper hand, right? You go and call them. I know them. "

"Yes." Bi'er went out of the room for a long time, but only brought back a mother who was doing the sweeping.

The mother, surnamed Wu, was short and plump. Her hands were covered with cocoons. It was obvious that she was a hard worker.

She went into the room and kowtowed to Qiao Wei: "my servant Wu, I'll see you! Good luck, madam

Qiao Wei faint smile: "Wu mother, where are the people in the yard?"

"This..." Mother Wu lowered her head and looked away.

Bi'er called a circle of people, but none of them had any weight. Instead, she called a silly servant woman. She was not angry at all. The mother didn't reply well, and immediately said angrily, "my wife asked you something! Are you deaf or dumb? "

Mother Wu trembled and groaned. She fell on the ground: "I dare not..."

Qiao Wei's tone was easy-going and said: "Mom, don't be afraid. I didn't mean to embarrass you. I'm just curious. Where are all the people in the yard? I remember last night when I took a bath, there were more than ten moms just carrying water for me. How could they all disappear after a while?"

Mother Wu was afraid to say.

Bi'er pressed down the fire way: "you look up and see who is the person who asked you? It's the young master's newlywed wife, the young lady of Ji's family, and the hostess of qinglianju. Who are you hiding for and dare not tell the young lady? You are afraid of offending that person. Can't the young lady protect you? "

It has to be said that bi'er is worthy of living in the house. Three or two words hit mother Wu's key point. Mother Wu buried her head even lower.

Qiao Wei said quietly: "you can't be wise and protect yourself. Since you are caught by me, there is no reason for you to retreat. Either you are honest, or I force you to. Bil

She winked.

Bi'er understood and took a pot of boiling water from the stove.

As soon as mother Wu looked back, she saw the red bottom of the pot. She was so scared that she almost fainted.

Qiao Wei said: "I only give you ten times. If I count to ten, you don't tell me, don't blame my ruthlessness. One, two, three, four..."

On the count of five, mother Wu couldn't carry it: "young lady, please forgive me! I said
