Yao Mengxian saw someone going to the toilet, and it was Kong Shuhuan.
She had a pretty good relationship with Kong Shuhuan three years ago, but they hadn't seen each other for a long time, so they followed her and planned to talk to her for a while.
The two of them have met just now, but they just haven't had the chance to express their feelings to each other!
Gu Chengyu followed the boy to the direction of the clean room. Looking at the scenery in the eldest princess's mansion, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, this princess's mansion is really luxurious!
He couldn't help but think of his own mansion again. It seemed that people should pay attention to the house to the north.
He is now an official, and he still lives in the south. He looks so classless and loses his status!
Gu Chengyu was thinking wildly all the way and didn't notice what was happening behind him.
Ji Mingxuan dismissed the boy and followed Gu Chengyu from a distance.
He had an idea in mind. In order to severely damage Zhu Pang's face, he had no choice but to attack Gu Chengyu.
Kong Shuhuan took Ji Yuying to the clean room and waited outside the clean room.
"Sister Kong!" Yao Mengxian led Lian Xin and walked quickly before catching up with Kong Shuhuan.
Kong Shuhuan was also surprised when she saw Yao Mengxian, "My sister went to Jingyuan Mansion and stayed away for three years. If it weren't for the exchange of letters, my sister would have forgotten me as my younger sister!"
Yao Mengxian quickly smiled apologetically, "What did you say, sister? I want to see you as soon as I come back, but you have already engaged, so it is not easy to see you once. Besides, you also know the situation in my house.
No door allowed."
Seeing this, Kong Shuhuan hurriedly stepped forward and took Yao Mengxian's hand, comforting her: "Of course I know it's hard for you to go out, so how can I really blame you? It's also my fault. After I get back, I will often leave you messages asking you to go to my house.
Let’s play.”
In fact, Kong Shuhuan just felt embarrassed after getting engaged!
Yao Mengxian also knew that she was thin-skinned, so she didn't mention the engagement again, and the two of them had a happy chat at the pavilion outside the clean room.
When Ji Mingxuan saw Gu Chengyu enter the clean room, he suddenly saw a girl carrying a teapot hurriedly walking in the direction he came from.
Ji Mingxuan's eyes couldn't help but light up, this is a good opportunity!
He waved and asked the little girl to come over.
The little girl didn't know what the young man wanted from her, but she was an honored guest in the house and she couldn't afford to offend him, so she had no choice but to go forward and salute him.
Ji Mingxuan whispered a few words beside the little girl. The little girl shook her head suddenly, her face still a little pale.
Ji Mingxuan frowned, took out a twenty-tael silver note from his purse, and placed it on the tray held by the little girl.
The little girl hesitated a little. When Ji Mingxuan saw this, he gave another twenty taels, and then the little girl happily agreed.
Ji Mingxuan handed over the two slips of paper in his sleeves. The little girl collected the slips of paper and the banknotes, and then left in a hurry.
After the little girl left, Ji Mingxuan's lips curled up.
Thinking about what was going to happen later, he felt relieved.
After looking at the attic in front of him that connected the two courtyards, Ji Mingxuan returned the same way in a good mood.
After using the toilet, Gu Chengyu didn't want to go back, so he sent the boy away. He saw a pavilion in front of the clean room and planned to sit in the pavilion.
When I go back later, the poem should be finished.
"Sister, your life in Jingyuan Mansion is so comfortable, you must be so happy that you no longer miss Shu, right?"
Kong Shuhuan has never traveled far, the farthest place she has ever been is Bao'an Temple on the outskirts of Beijing, so she naturally looks envious when talking about this.
"It's the same as at home in the capital. You can't go out, but you just live a quiet life! When your sister gets married, won't it be easy to go out?"
In fact, Yao Mengxian just comforted Kong Shuhuan. When she was in Jingyuan Mansion, her grandmother was not strict, and she also made an appointment with the daughter of the Mansion to study and teach Yu.
Either burn incense, or go to a rouge and gouache shop. Only those days are pleasant.
It's a pity that after returning to the capital, such comfortable days will no longer exist.
I didn’t say it out loud just because I didn’t want to make Kong Shuhuan even more yearning for her!
In addition, it is said that it is easy and impossible to go out after getting married. You need to get the consent of your mother-in-law before you go out.
Taking care of household chores at home every day never gets a day's work. Once you give birth to a child, you will be even more busy.
In fact, I don’t know what Kong Shuhuan did. It’s just that women must get married when they reach an age, and everyone must go through this fate.
She was trapped in the inner house and had never seen the outside world, so naturally she didn't know what the scene was like outside.
Therefore, it is just a few more words of emotion!
"In the future, we sisters will have to keep in touch with each other. After you returned to the capital, we never had the chance to get together. Mother is very strict. If I hadn't brought my cousin here today, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to go out!"
She is about to get married, and her mother is very strict. She spends all day at home embroidering her dowry, and is not even allowed to go out.
Yao Mengxian was a little strange. She just saw Kong Shuhuan and a beautiful girl.
The girl looked pretty good, but her behavior was a little timid, and she didn't have the demeanor of a noble girl from aristocratic families.
However, she saw that the two of them had been inseparable, and she was previously curious about which family the girl was from.
Now I heard that she was Kong Shuhuan's cousin, and I finally knew the purpose of Kong Shuhuan's visit today.
"Is that girl just now my sister's cousin? I've never seen her before?"
As soon as she heard Yao Mengxian talking about this cousin, Kong Shuhuan curled her lips, feeling both disdain and helplessness in her heart.
"She is my grandmother's grand-niece. She is fourteen years old. Her maiden name is Ji Yuying."
As soon as Kong Shuhuan finished speaking, Yao Mengxian knew something in her mind.
The Ji family of Kong Shuhuan's grandmother's maiden family had held official positions in the imperial court for several generations. They had always been very influential in Hejian Mansion and could be regarded as a family of officials.
It's just that by Grandma Kong Shuhuan's generation, things are no longer as good as before, and the family is declining very quickly. This is related to the fact that no one in the Ji family is now in office.
As long as no one from his descendants becomes an official for three generations, the decline of that clan will be unimaginable.
After losing influence in the court, if the clan does not manage things well and the children are naughty, it will not take long for them to live in vain.
This is the current portrayal of the Ji family. The aristocratic families in Hejian Mansion have excluded the Ji family.
Ji Yuying is already fourteen, and she is at the right age to get married. When she comes to her aunt's house at this time, she must be here for the purpose of getting married.
The elders in the family are all Bai Ding, and the family is so depressed. If you want to have a good marriage, you will naturally think of your great-aunt in the capital.
It's just that with Ji Yuying's current status, it may not be easy to get a good relationship in the capital.
Don't think about those legitimate sons from aristocratic and official families. They would never marry the daughter of a white woman no matter what.
Even if you set your sights on those concubines, it is not difficult. After all, although it is difficult for a concubine to marry, there are many concubines from aristocratic families. It is not difficult for a concubine from a wealthy family to be the legitimate daughter of a small official family.
After being eliminated in this way, considering the reputation of the Confucius family, they can only work on those merchant families.
But she just glanced at Ji Yuying a few times. Ji Yuying's eyes were darting around, and she looked like she was not a peaceful person.
