Nine-fold lotus of the famous family

Chapter 431 Lagerstroemia visits, stay low and be small (1)
The concierge was quite polite. After Ji Ziwei reported her family, although the concierge had no impression of the Qin family, when they heard that she was Ji Chonglian's younger sister, they immediately reported to Guanshi Zhu in the outer courtyard. The maid took her into the inner courtyard.

Along the way, Ji Ziwei felt that she couldn't turn her eyes.

She has also heard of the Zhongyong General's Mansion. It was the Yongwang Mansion in the past. It was said that every step and every scene in the interior combined the characteristics of Jiangnan courtyards and the spacious atmosphere of the North, but she did not expect it to be so big. In Lu Wujin's house, dozens of masters and masters probably can live there, it's not as shabby as the place they live in now.

Passing through the hanging flower gate in the inner courtyard, and only turning around a verandah, Ji Ziwei was ushered into a fairly exquisite hall, and the little maid bowed her head and retreated after serving tea.

Ji Ziwei breathed a sigh of relief at this moment, and looked at the layout of the hall with some obscure eyes, the official green velvet curtains, the lotus leaves embroidered with curly patterns, all the nanmu chairs, and the long desks under the windows There is a triangular furnace made of suet white jade on the table, but butterflies are carved on both sides. After the warm incense is lit, bursts of charming fragrance will come out from the hollowed-out wings of the butterfly, and the green smoke will linger for a while. It can also circle some shapes, which looks like a butterfly, which is really amazing.

Ji Ziwei twitched the corners of her lips, such an elegant style, low-key but delicate, really looks like Ji Chonglian's handwriting.

Thinking of the small courtyard where she lives now, Ji Ziwei can only sigh.

The Qin family's former residence was in Dongcheng, and it was a four-entry courtyard. At that time, she owned a garden by herself. In terms of exquisite layout, it was not bad at all.

However, after the death of Qin Zidu's father, Qin Zuojun, the mansion was sold at a low price, and it was used to repay the money that Qin Zuojun had corrupted when he was the deputy envoy of the Salt Transport Department.

It's really a wall that everyone pushes, but Qin Zuojun didn't think of this when he was in a good mood. How could he know that a sudden death would send the Qin family into such an embarrassing situation.

But fortunately, Qin Zi is capable. He knew that the Qin family could not be destroyed like this. He not only sold his own mansion, but also sold the good farm shop, so he filled the hole left by Qin Zuojun and let this Things can't affect him, which ruins his official career.

Afterwards, it was Qin Zidu's stepmother, Fang, who took out some money and set up a two-entry yard for them at the corner of Xicheng. The higher and higher promotions show that they moved to the right place.

Trees move to death, people move to life!
Qin Zidu's official career finally seemed to be thriving, and he was also appreciated by the emperor and the prince, but unexpectedly the emperor and the prince passed away one after another. There was a sudden panic in the court hall.

It's like halfway through the voyage, when the weather was sunny and sunny, suddenly there was a stormy sea, Qin Zi was on the cusp of the storm, it seemed that he was either advancing or retreating, so he stopped and couldn't go, even wishing He picked up the curtains and sails to cover himself tightly, and hoped that Lingnan King's gaze would not be on their side for the time being.

Time also, luck also!
Ji Ziwei originally thought that their good days were coming soon, but unexpectedly the situation took a turn for the worse, and now, it is King Yan who ascended the throne of emperor.

In the past, she had laughed at Pei Yan and Ji Chonglian, thinking that they were going to stay in the Northwest where nothing shit happened all their lives, but she didn't expect Ji Chonglian to return to the capital with the title of the second-rank wife in the blink of an eye.

Fengshui really takes turns, and Ji Ziwei is already about to cry but has no tears at this moment.

At that time, when a pink sedan chair was carried into the Qin Mansion, she secretly swore that she must live a good life and be better than her sisters. Unexpectedly, after going around in circles, she still couldn't keep up with Ji Chonglian's star. .

"Ugh!"

Ji Ziwei sighed heavily, and sat down on the chair with an indescribable sense of despondency. In fact, she didn't want to come this time. Ji Chonglian is now the second-rank madam. What is she? She was just the concubine of a high-ranking official, and she couldn't even take part in the banquets attended by these ladies, but she couldn't resist Qin Zidu, so she came to General Zhongyong's mansion to find out.

Qin Zuojun passed away due to illness two years ago, which can be regarded as an untimely death, so Qin Zi was still able to live up to his expectations, he was smart and successful, and he was promoted to the Ministry of Households to do work.

It's just that Qin Zidu belonged to the prince's faction back then. Although he didn't take the initiative to go along with it when Lingnan King controlled the situation in Shangjing, he didn't strongly oppose it either. A feeling of uncertainty.

Suddenly learning that Ji Chonglian had returned to Shangjing, and that her husband was named a second-rank loyal and brave general because of his meritorious service in shooting the Lingnan King, Qin Zi felt very uncomfortable for a moment. .

But after much deliberation, this kind of relationship can't be broken, Qin Zidu just let Ji Ziwei go to Ji Chonglian's side to explore the way, if he can get involved with the Pei family, at least his position will be more stable, now he There is no father to rely on, the Yue family is not strong, and the natal family is not close, Qin Zi knows that he can only rely on himself.

The hall where Ji Ziwei is located is a small cross-court flower hall after entering the second gate. It is usually the place to receive the daughters-in-law or mothers who are in charge of delivering gifts from various prefectures. Naturally, concubines and aunts like Ji Ziwei also stay there. .

Ji Chonglian walked unhurriedly to the entrance of the flower hall, and stepped in after a slight pause.

Ji Ziwei's gaze straightened immediately, and she quickly stood up and saluted Ji Chonglian, calling out earnestly, "Fifth Sister!" Complex emotions flashed through her lowered eyes.

Ji Chonglian wore a golden gauze jacket with big red feathers and pomegranate flowers blooming everywhere. The hazy layer of tulle gave people a dreamlike feeling, but it also had golden silk patterns, which looked extremely bright. Wearing a crescent moon bun, the red gold pearl hairpin inlaid on her head and the pearl moon pendants on her ears dazzled Ji Ziwei's eyes, and the silk handkerchief in her hand couldn't help being twisted tightly.

Ji Ziwei bit her lip and was very unwilling. Why are all the sisters luckier than her? Even Ji Furong and Li Li can marry another man who is good to her wholeheartedly? !

Ji Ziwei didn't mean that Qin Zi was not good, Tan Hualang was born, she was handsome and handsome, but she still had Gu Xueyan on her head, how could this not make her feel like a gnat in her throat, having trouble sleeping and eating?
Ji Chonglian glanced at Ji Ziwei, and saw that she was wearing a lotus-colored jacquard double-breasted jacket with a collar, and a jade-colored horse-face skirt tied around her waist, which was refreshing to her liking. Ji Ziwei used to love to wear it Red and green, could it be that married people have restrained simplicity?
