Nine-fold lotus of the famous family

Chapter 122 Dowry dispute, Furong leaves the court (4)
Ji Minghui was stunned, a little confused about what was going on in Old Madam Ji's mind, but she replied cautiously: "No matter how much she has an idea, it is not under the name of the old lady. She will only have hope in the future if she is under the control and teaching of the old lady." Woolen cloth!"

The old lady Ji thought about it for a while, and suddenly a smile of unknown meaning appeared on the corner of her mouth, she snorted softly, and said: "It's also fortunate that she doesn't have a mother like a big girl, and she thinks about everything before others... In the future, I will naturally do it for you." She is in charge!"

Ji Minghui's expression froze, knowing that the old lady Ji was still worried about the eldest wife's arbitrariness for Ji Furong's marriage. They left after a while, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was a little tense, obviously there was a rift.

"With the old lady taking care of her, the fifth girl is naturally blessed."

Ji Minghui echoed, Fangcao had already reported outside: "Miss Biao and Miss Wu have arrived."

As soon as the words fell, Fang Cao lifted the curtain, and Shi Rou walked in with Ji Chonglian on her arm, laughing like silver bells all the way.

Ganoderma lucidum stepped forward to take the cloaks for the two girls, and then they saluted the old lady Ji and Ji Minghui. Shi Rou approached Ji Minghui with a smile, shook her hand and said: "Mother, five Cousin is really ingenious, just looking at the snacks she made for my grandmother, I couldn't help drooling."

"What good did you do this time?"

As soon as the old lady Ji saw Ji Chonglian, she waved to her, with a smile on her brows and eyes, and she even lifted her spirits.

Ji Minghui saw it in his eyes, and a smile gradually rose from the corner of his lips.

"Bi Yuan, put it on!"

Ji Chonglian smiled and ordered Bi Yuan, and she quickly moved the food box in her hand on the small table, and took out a plate of small snacks on a blue and white porcelain plate, which looked translucent and transparent. The light blue color is as pleasant as a crystal, and the dim sum is dotted with sesame seeds, and a burst of sweet fragrance wafts in the air.

"This looks a bit like a horseshoe cake..."

The old lady Ji looked at it for a while, and then looked at Ji Chonglian with some uncertainty.

The water chestnut cake is somewhat translucent and clear, but the color is tea yellow, and the taste and smell are not the same.

"Grandmother guessed wrong, it's not the name!"

Shi Rou shook her head, her red lips pursed into a sweet smile.

"This is called lotus paste crystal cake. In the summer, I asked Mama Liu to pick some lotus seeds and lotus leaves and store them in the sun. I added them in when making this dessert. How about a quick taste, grandma?"

As Ji Chonglian said, she had already taken a silver hairpin, and handed it to the old lady Ji with a smile.

The old lady Ji took a sip, chewed it for a while, and immediately raised her eyebrows and eyes, "It's fresh but not greasy, and it feels soft and sticky in your mouth. Wu Yatou made it specially for my bad teeth, right?"

"The fifth girl is so filial, the old lady is very lucky!"

Ji Minghui followed up with a compliment, and she could tell that the old lady Ji really liked Ji Chonglian very much, and she was afraid that the fifth girl would be pleasing to her in whatever she did.

Now the old lady Ji has let go of Ji Furong's matter, and the original love for her eldest granddaughter seems to have been transferred to Ji Chonglian in an instant. From Ji Minghui's point of view, this is a good sign, at least with the support of the old lady, She no longer has to worry about the siblings being bullied.

"Fifth Cousin, give me a piece too!"

Shi Rou stuck out her tongue greedily, Ji Chonglian couldn't hold back her on the way, so she asked Bi Yuan to open the food box to show her, seeing the old lady Ji eating with gusto, how could she bear it?

Ji Chonglian smiled and held her hands in front of Shi Rou and Ji Minghui, eating together, saying a few words occasionally, the atmosphere suddenly became harmonious and beautiful.

After the new year, February is the day for Ji Furong and Ji.

The eldest wife invited the second wife of the family, Mrs. Lu, to be the guest of honor, and Ji Chonglian was the praiser, and the ceremony was completed in a cheerful atmosphere.

The end of February after Ji Furong and Ji was her wedding day, and Ji's family began intense and busy preparations again.

Mama Cui was sent to Shangjing by the eldest wife. According to the number of days, she will arrange for someone to carry the dowry to Tong's Mansion in a short time, and then lead a group of maids and women to make the bed and do the pre-marriage preparations. matters.

On the other hand, Ji Furong was much calmer and clearer. Maybe she knew that she would not be able to stay at home soon, so she hid in Mrs. Ji's room when she had nothing to do.

The day before the wedding, Ji Furong invited Ji Chonglian to the old lady Ji.

Ji Chonglian was a little puzzled, not knowing what Ji Furong's plan was, so she just sat aside and listened to her.

"Grandmother, my granddaughter is leaving tomorrow, so come ahead and kowtow to you!"

While Ji Furong was talking, Lingzhi had already fetched the futon and put it in front of her, lifted her skirt, knelt down, and kowtowed, but after completing a set of movements, she didn't look up for a long time.

The old lady Ji sighed, "It's hard for you to have such a heart!" She glanced at Ji Chonglian again, "Fifth girl, don't help your eldest sister up yet!"

Ji Chonglian responded, and when Ji Furong was helped up, she wiped away the tears from her cheeks without a trace, her eyes were red, it was obvious that she had cried.

The old lady Ji patted Ji Furong's hand, then turned to look at Song's mother standing beside her, "Go and take out the things I prepared!"

"Yes, old lady!"

Mother Song responded with a smile, and called Ganoderma lucidum to come over, and the two of them turned into the inner room, and came out after a while, both of them were holding a black wooden carved box painted with gold lacquer, but the one in Mother Song's hand It seemed to be sinking a bit, and they were placed on the table one by one.

"Go and open it!"

The old lady Ji squeezed Ji Furong's hand, and said with a smile: "I have prepared a dowry for all of you sisters, and it can be regarded as a part of my heart."

Ji Furong bit her lip, gently opened one of the boxes, suddenly felt a radiance in front of her eyes, she unconsciously covered her eyes with the back of her hand.

Bright gems, shiny pearls, and a full set of red gold and ruby ​​heads were laid out in a box lined with blue velvet. The black box looked small at first, but the inside was divided into layers, which looked so delicate.

Another box contained the title deed to the house and a set of brass keys.

"These jewelry have been prepared for you a long time ago, knowing that you are the first girl from the Ji family to marry... As for the land deed and the house deed, one is a [-]-acre farm on the outskirts of Shangjing with a three-year-old mansion, and the other is a family home. The storefront I bought in Shangjing in the early years is now vacant and I have no plans. I just gave it to you. If you want to do something, you might as well discuss it with your fifth sister. She has a lot of ideas, and now she wants to run the storehouse left by her mother. You sisters are helping each other, so I can rest assured if you have a discussion and a deal."
