The splendid years of a talented lady

Chapter 543
"Ah? Did you come out of the palace?" Mrs. Ji hurriedly stood up and saluted Yan Xi: "No wonder you look at my aunt's face and demeanor so outstandingly. As soon as you spoke just now, I saw that you are not an ordinary woman..."

Yan Xi put down the tray in her hand, only poured a cup of tea for Mrs. Ji, pursed her lips and smiled, and quietly entered the kitchen.

Mrs. Ji was talking to herself, and she also felt a little boring. Seeing that there was only a cup of tea on the table, she said, "Why is it only mine?"

"I've been taking decoction and no tea recently."

Concubine Wanhuang gave Su Xiazhi a prescription for daily conditioning. Except for ingredients such as mung bean, there is no need for her to deliberately avoid it. It's just that Su Xiazhi is pregnant with a child, and she gave up tea on purpose. , the reason given is very ridiculous: drinking tea every day, the baby's skin will be the same color as the tea after birth, dark and not autumnal...I absolutely cannot allow myself to give birth to a tea egg!
"So that's the case..." Mrs. Ji nodded.

"I came here in a hurry this time, and I didn't prepare any presents. I'm really rude!" Remembering what Ji Ya had been talking to herself in the room last night, Mrs. Ji hurriedly brought the conversation to the point: "This is a 1000 tael bill. Buy clothes for the children to wear!"

The light green bank note was stamped with Daliang Tongbao's four-square seal, and the ink pad was brownish red.

Su Xiazhi lowered her head and looked at it seriously: "1000 taels of silver to buy clothes? A few girls in my family can't wear them all in their lifetime..."

Mrs. Ji curled her lips into a smile, and said lightly: "1000 taels of silver is not too much, which piece of clothing does not cost a hundred and ten taels for the daughter of our Ming family? Take it, it is my gift to the children."

"If you have anything to say, just tell me." Su Xiazhi's gaze shifted from the bank note to Mrs. Ji's face.

Ming family?Could it be the Ming family in Fu County?
Could this Ji Ya have something to do with the Ming family?
Su Xiazhi went to bed early last night, and Min Lansheng didn't tell her what happened in the study later, and she didn't know anything about what happened in the court, so that's why she had doubts.

In fact, there is only one really snobbish Ming family in Daliang: the Ming family in Fujun!
The Ming family has operated for several generations, and the minions have already infiltrated a lot in the court.

Back then when the Ming family came to Ji Ya and warned him not to contact Mingche and his elder brother, the original purpose was to make Mingche's life difficult and let her go home obediently.

Never thought that according to Mingche's temper, he went to find Jixuan and refused to return to Ming's house after suffering all the way!

Ming Che's eldest brother was so angry with his sister's behavior that he let her run to its own fate.

Ji Ya, on the other hand, is careful and quick-witted, and she can be used by the Ming family.

After several times of beatings, and several times of coercion, Ji Ya completely joined the Ming family.

And in order to tie him down, the Ming family chose a beautiful woman from among the offspring in the side branch to marry Ji Ya, which was regarded as a marriage.

This marriage was arranged in a non-conforming manner, and Ji Ya just pretended to be sleeping beside her.

Three or five years later, he lost interest in this 'daughter of the Ming family' who was beautiful on the outside and vulgar on the inside, so this lady was promoted to become the 'big lady', and Ji Ya raised several second wives and third wives outside. , Fourth Madam's, she can't control it, and she has no choice but to let him go!

And the eldest lady herself thought that when she was young and beautiful, she had won Ji Ya's good face for a few years, so she missed the old days even more. At the age of 40, he put on pink clothes and put on the makeup that little girls love to paint. He only hoped that such a self could win Ji Ya's heart one day.

"I just came here to hang out with you, to get close to you." Mrs. Ji seldom came out to socialize, and she looked down on Su Xiazhi who was said to be from the country, so she deliberately said: "I heard from my master, Madame and Master Min are from Ping County?"

"Then our natal families are not far away. My natal family is the Ming family in Fu County. Where is Madam's natal family?"

"My natal family is Xinghua Village in Ping County." Su Xiazhi said lightly.

"Yo, Xinghua Village..." Mrs. Ji seemed to think about it before she smiled and said, "I really haven't heard of it."

"I've never heard that the Ming family has any daughters besides my mother-in-law!" Su Xiazhi also replied with a smile.

Mingche is the daughter of the Ming family, and only she can say that she is the daughter of the Ming family.And those concubine Ji's children can't blatantly say that they are the daughters of the Ming family, let alone Ru Ji Ya's wife is only a child of a side branch of the Ming family.

Su Xiazhi's words froze the smile on Mrs. Ji's face.She immediately recalled the daughters of the Ming family in her mind, and after thinking about it, except Mrs. Tai gave birth to a daughter that no one had seen, none of the other regular wives gave birth to daughters.

Then, even if the mother-in-law that the woman on the opposite side spoke of was married as a daughter of the Ming family, she might not be much taller than herself...

Thinking of this, she felt confident, and asked, waving the fragrant round fan, "Could it be that Lord Min's mother is also from the Ming family? Then we are really relatives. But, why didn't I hear my master mention these things?" ?”

"Hehe!" It was still the expression of wanting to smile, clearly saying: Why don't you go back and ask your master?

"Then where is your mother-in-law? Maybe we still know each other."

Yesterday, Ji Ya, who hadn't returned to the mansion for a long time, suddenly went back without even saying hello.Looking at his complexion is not good, it seems to be sick.

Since he was newly married, he has raised women outside. Although everyone in the mansion knows this, he still saved face for her. He didn't take those women as concubines, but just kept them as concubines. Divided.

Mrs. Ji understood this point, she knew that Ji Ya was concerned about the Ming family behind her, so she didn't dare to make too much of a fuss!

So she knew the importance of status even more.

Yesterday, as soon as Ji Ya returned to the house, she called her into the room, gave her instructions, and talked for a long time, with only one purpose: to make her have a good relationship with Min Lansheng's wife!

And at any cost...

Therefore, when she made a move today, it was 1000 taels of silver bills. This is her own money from her dowry, and it hurts to think about it!
