It has been raining in the past few days, and it is pouring. When Ji gave birth to Wanniang, the confinement period was not done well, and she was caught in the wind. Whenever it rains at this time, she feels uncomfortable all over.

She was lying on the Arhat bed, squinting slightly, wiping her forehead, plasters on both sides of her temples, and covered with a thin blanket. Two little maids of twelve or thirteen years old were beside her. One stood behind her and beat her shoulders, and the other knelt down.

He rubbed her legs on the ground.

Tao Jin's family came in from outside, followed by a maid, bringing medicine.

The maid in the room hurriedly brought a small table, took it, scooped it out, the medicine had just come out of the pot and was still piping hot. She put it on the table to let it cool down, and then the maid served Ji to drink it.

After drinking the medicine, Mrs. Ji regained some energy. The Tao Jin family helped her sit up and asked her to take a look at the account book.

"Madam, if you really don't feel well, go to bed and have a peaceful sleep. It's not an option for you to hold on like this. You'd better take care of your body," the Tao Jin family advised.

Ji glanced at her gently and said: "How can I be safe? If there are several difficult things at the moment, how can I feel at ease if I don't get them done?"

She flipped through the account book, and her eyebrows furrowed more and more as she read, "The Feng family is really stingy. For my uncle's birthday, he only gave me a pair of silver chopsticks and a vase. He really didn't make me look good."

Tao Jin's family said: "The Feng family is not as good as before, and I'm afraid it will be hard to come up with anything good."

"Then there's no need to bring such wretched things. Isn't this just telling people that the Feng family has been destroyed?" Because of her anger, Ji's face turned red and she looked better than before.

, "It must have been prepared by my good aunt. Now she wants to spend a penny to split the flower into two petals. It's like cutting her flesh to give her some gifts. I don't know how she feels heartache and liverache. She doesn't care at all.

The Feng family loses face."

After a moment, he said to the Tao Jin family: "On the Feng family's gift list, you can add some more at your discretion and fill it from my warehouse. She doesn't care about face, but I still have to take care of it."

As the Tao Jin family called him, the topic changed and he talked about how generous the gifts sent by the Ji family were. Ji family suddenly felt more dignified and her face brightened a little.

After chatting for a while, he said, "The old lady will return to Licheng in a few days. You should start preparing the things that need to be prepared now. Don't be blinded by the time and let her choose. Also, this month the eldest princess celebrates her birthday.

, you must prepare it carefully, the more expensive it is, the better, forget it, I will prepare it myself."

Finally, he asked: "How is Brother An these days? I'm not feeling well and I really don't have the energy to take care of him."

The Tao Jin family member smiled and replied: "Speaking of the young master, he is really obedient and sensible. He has been here for five days without making any noise, and is as quiet as a cat."

"That child has always been well-behaved." Mrs. Ji felt tired and leaned back on the backrest, "It's not like Brother Yi. When he first came here, he cried and clamored for a mother every day. It was annoying to death."

When Hua Junyi was first sent to Ji's place, she was noisy every day, didn't eat or sleep. Ji was really worried and spent a lot of effort.

The Tao Jin family member walked up behind Mr. Ji, rubbed her forehead, and said with a smile: "Thanks to Madam's loving treatment, it is a blessing in disguise. Now the eldest son treats Madam as his biological mother and is extremely filial."

"But I'm afraid that he will forget his mother when he has a wife." Mrs. Ji closed her eyes and sighed slightly, "I just wanted to arrange a smart person to take care of him, but he was so unwilling and didn't know what the Su family was like.

My mind is obsessed with ghosts.”

"Hey, you are newlyweds. It is inevitable that it is still fresh. In fact, I think the madam is too impatient about this matter. After a while, if the freshness is gone, the eldest young master will have other thoughts even if the eldest madam doesn't say anything."

"I hope so, otherwise the Su family will be too proud."

The Tao Jin family's kneading made Ji feel a lot more relaxed and energetic. Thinking that she had been telling her about that matter for several days, she should give her an answer, so she asked someone to call her

Come.

At that time, Jiao Niang was accompanying the old lady in reciting Buddhist scriptures. The servants searched around several places before finding her at the old lady's place.

Because they didn't dare to disturb her, the servants waited outside for a long time. After reciting the sutra, they invited her to Ningxinyuan.

"Mother was asked to wait." Jiao Niang entered the room and apologized first.

"It's okay." Mrs. Ji asked someone to help her up, and led her to sit next to her. She smiled kindly and said, "I haven't been feeling well these days and I didn't go over to say hello. How's the old lady doing?"

"Everything is fine, grandma." Jiao Niang smiled lightly, "She still misses her wholeheartedly, so she asked me to say hello on her behalf." She said with concern, "My mother has been recovering for a few days. Is she still well? Have you hired a doctor?"

"It's all ** disease. It happens every year. There's no need to go to a lot of trouble to see a doctor. It will be cured after the rainy season. I feel a little energetic today and I think I'm going to get better."

Jiao Niang looked at her face. Although her face was rosy, it was weak. She thought that her energy was also caused by the medicine, but she was actually trying to support herself.

Also, this year is different from previous years. Su Qingyin came in. The old lady wanted Su Qingyin to share the burden for her. If she couldn't support it at this time, wouldn't it be an excuse for the old lady.

How could she be willing to shift her authority downward? Therefore, she had to endure this period no matter what.

"Mom is really overworked on weekdays. She should take more care of herself." Jiao Niang's eyes fell on the thick stack of account books on the table. "It doesn't matter if we put these things aside for the time being. Your health is the most important thing."

"How can we let go of this family matter?" Ji changed the topic and revealed the purpose of calling Jiao Niang here, "What do you think of what I told you a few days ago?"

The girl's expression was slightly condensed, and she lowered her head silently.

Mrs. Ji looked at her, her face turning from clear to dark, "Why, you don't want to?" Her voice also deepened, "Do you look down on someone from a family like the Feng family?"

"No." Jiao Niang raised her head quickly, "The Feng family is the home of Zhongding, and it is also my grandmother's natal family. How can I look down on it?"

Ji smiled softly, "My dear, I know you are conceited about your beauty and naturally have the ambition to marry into a wealthy family. Are you still bent on climbing the high branch of the Marquis of Chang'an?"

The young lady stood up, bowed, and said humbly: "My daughter doesn't dare. Please tell me, mother. My daughter has really never had such thoughts."

Ji looked at her for a long time and then smiled, "If you really haven't thought about this, you are still a sensible person. But even if you do, it doesn't matter. My mother is here to advise you to die as soon as possible."

Heart. Don’t blame mother for speaking unfeelingly. Mother is doing it for your own good. A family like the Marquis of Chang’an cannot tolerate you. Mother is afraid that you will be wronged.”

Let the girl sit down and say sincerely, "The Feng family is different. Your father-in-law and mother-in-law are both charitable people. When you get married, they will treat you as well as I treat you. Just listen to your mother and accept this marriage."
