Nine-fold lotus of the famous family

Chapter 196: When the family is a guest, Pei Yan shows up (2)
After some selection, the Ji family bought a total of 28 maids. Except for those in front of the masters, a few were sent to each room such as kitchen, starch washing, sewing, and flower room. From the mother in charge, they have all come out step by step.

This side was selected by hand, and it was almost in the middle, so Ji Chonglian returned to Xuanyi Hall, had dinner with Mrs. Ji, and then went to their lunch breaks.

Sleeping until mid-afternoon, Bi Yuan watched the figure move in the tulle curtain, and hurriedly led Lin Tao to wait on her, and hooked the gauze curtain on the wishful tents on both sides.

"The girl is awake?"

Biyuan smiled and straightened Ji Chonglian, put on a moonlight-colored thin brocade shirt, and tied a skirt of the same color around her waist, with a few touches of bright red on the corners of the skirt, which looked very refreshing.

Lin Tao hurriedly served tea, Ji Chonglian vomited into the small white porcelain bowl after taking a sip, then lazily supported Bi Yuan's hand and stood up, couldn't help but yawned, "I'm really sleepy today, I'm really sleepy today. I fell asleep for nearly two hours!"

"Miss, it's been really hard for the young master's marriage these days."

Bi Yuan neatly buttoned up Ji Chonglian's shirt, then sat her down on the brocade stool in front of the dressing table, and then took the rosewood to comb her black hair.

Lin Tao fiddled with all kinds of hairpins, and finally picked out a green snowy hairpin and handed it to Bi Yuan, which also matched Ji Chonglian's Yuehua skirt today.

"Where is Hongying?"

Ji Chonglian watched through the bronze mirror that Bi Yuan neatly rolled up her hair, inserted the green snow and Hanfang hairpin, and then licked her hair from side to side, and it was done.

"Hongying is teaching Chunhua and Caiqiu how to behave. If you don't know how girls behave as servants, how dare they let them wait in the house."

While talking, Bi Yuan and Lin Tao cleaned up the jewelry and dowry in front of the dressing table.

"Don't worry, you are not going to get married soon."

Ji Chonglian smiled and waved her hands, stood up and walked to the window, an old tree outside the window was turning yellow, when the wind blew, the withered leaves drifted around, but in just one afternoon, the whole garden was covered.

Lin Tao covered her lips and smiled, Biyuan is used to being teased now, she didn't even blush at all, she just pursed her lips and complained: "The girl will make fun of the maidservant, if someday the maidservant is gone, see if you still find me Who said to..."

Biyuan couldn't help being a little annoyed that the words were clearly a happy bickering, but in the end it turned out to be sad.

Turning to look at Ji Chonglian, her eyes were a little dazed, as if she didn't hear this, Bi Yuan was relieved immediately.

After a long while, Ji Chonglian turned her head quietly and said: "Tell Hongying not to worry, take a look at Caiqiu's injuries, if they are not healed, then invite a doctor to come and take a look, and lead her out to do things when she is refreshed."

"Yes, our girls are the best."

Bi Yuan smiled and flattered her, and Lin Tao followed suit, and suddenly heard footsteps outside the door, and then someone raised the curtain, Hongying entered the room lightly, and saw that Ji Chonglian had already got up , then came forward with a smile and said, "Miss, the seventh wife of my family has sent someone to invite you over."

"Oh?"

Ji Chonglian was startled, and turned to look at the sky, "What time is it, but what's urgent?"

I go back and forth to my home, and I'm afraid it's time to light up the lights when I return to Ji's home.

"I didn't even listen to what the man said. He only said that Mrs. Seven ordered that the girl must be invited."

The seventh wife of the family, Mrs. Pei, has always been on good terms with Ji Chonglian, and there is always a chance to get together once or twice a month, but this time Rose is busy with Yao's marriage with Ji Chongze, and it is true that she hasn't seen Pei for a while.

"Then Lin Tao went to Xuanyi Hall and told Mother Song that I might not be able to share dinner with the old lady, so I'll be back soon."

Ji Chonglian turned around and gave Lin Tao instructions, and straightened her clothes in front of the mirror. She was going to see Mrs. Pei, and the two of them knew each other so they didn't need to dress too grandly, it was fine like that.

"Biyuan is going to pick up some gadgets, I'll bring them to Brother Ming and Sister Qing."

Thinking of these two pink and jade-carved babies, Ji Chonglian couldn't help but like them, and she didn't know that after such a long time, the two little guys thought she didn't.

Everyone got the order and went down to work, and Ji Chonglian went out after a while.

The distance between Ben's house and Ji's house is not too far, and it took only half an hour to build a carriage. The coachman drove into the alley in the backyard familiarly, and Ji Chonglian got out of the cart there.

In the late autumn of October, the weather is getting cooler, and the temperature difference between morning and night is a bit big. As soon as they get off the carriage, Bi Yuan has already put a light beige feather satin cloak on Ji Chonglian, and there is already a small sedan chair waiting in front of the door. The maid respectfully invited Ji Chonglian into the sedan chair.

With the bumping of the sedan chair, Ji Chonglian felt some ups and downs in her heart, as if something was about to happen, but she couldn't say it.

"Bi Yuan."

Ji Chonglian raised the curtain of the sedan chair and called out, Bi Yuan was walking quickly beside the sedan chair, and hurriedly moved closer to her ear.

"Go and find out, has anything major happened in my family recently?"

Ji Chonglian tightened her handkerchief. She was worried that there was something that Mrs. Pei couldn't solve, and she was so anxious that she wanted to discuss it with her, so she asked her to come.

Otherwise, at such a late hour, even if the two meet on weekdays, they would at least make an appointment one day in advance. Such a rush gradually gave her a bad premonition.

When Bi Yuan got the order, she naturally walked a few steps quickly and made friends with the maid in front of Mrs. Pei, but the maid was tight-lipped and kept talking about him. After some inquiries, Bi Yuan returned dejectedly. Little bits of useful news.

"Forget it, I came here anyway. Since Mrs. Seven has invited me here, she will definitely tell the truth about anything."

Thinking of this, Ji Chonglian gradually calmed down, soldiers come to block, water comes to cover, there is really nothing in this world that cannot be solved, it depends on what method you use and from what angle.

From a distance, Bi Yuan saw red lanterns hanging on the gate of Pei's garden, she hurriedly approached the sedan chair, and whispered: "Girl, I'm afraid there is something good, the servant girl sees that the Seventh Wife hangs a lantern at the gate of the garden." with red lanterns."

"Oh?"

Ji Chonglian was also a little surprised, but she didn't allow her to think about it, the sedan chair had already been carried into the courtyard, bypassing the bluestone carved screen wall before slowly stopping.

Bi Yuan helped Ji Chonglian get off the sedan chair, she looked up and saw that the garden really looked like it was decorated with lights and festoons, even the flowers and branches were pruned extraordinarily beautifully, and the pillars of the porch were repainted, it looked shiny from a distance .

"Is there really a happy event?"

Ji Chonglian's mood also improved, it seems that Mrs. Pei is so happy that she wants to celebrate and share with others!

Bi Yuan nodded, and the corners of his lips curled up, "The servant girl also looked at it."

The maid said that Mrs. Pei was waiting for her in the warm pavilion in the backyard, so Biyuan stopped at the backyard, where the maids and women who were not on duty were all nestled in the room, idling with their teeth, eating tea and snacks.
