First Class Concubine

Chapter 755

The Ji family has been in a trance this year, as Qi Jing said, she really has intentions for the owner of the bookstore.

In Qijing's view, the so-called love in this world is very rare.For those ladies in the boudoir, at most, they heard about certain people at various banquets, or watched them from a distance.At most, meet some people while the elders are watching.

This is the most daring thing they can do before marriage.

Like or love or something, that's just not possible.Maybe there will be some hazy liking, but the impression is very weak.

Therefore, women in ancient times were always easily seduced.The sweet talk of a man can easily attract some young ladies to fall in love, thinking that they are in love with each other.Some young daughters-in-law cheated, and the ladies eloped and absconded.In the final analysis, but because, see too little.In the modern age, which young lady would run away with a poor scholar after chasing a phoenix for a song?Which country's prime minister's daughter is willing to marry a little hooligan?

This is not the point, the point is that the previous Ji family had no contact with most men.The only one was a scumbag, and ended up being injured and heartbroken.She was actually afraid to see such a person again.Just like the leader of the caravan she met on the road, she just wished she could stay far away and never knew each other.

The owner of the bookstore is a completely different person, he is a painter and a businessman.He is still a father, a qualified father, and keeps himself clean.Keep a distance from all women.

I met Ji's because of the opposite door.Even if the two of them don't intentionally make friends, and occasionally raise their heads and lower their heads, their eyes will collide.What's more, Qi Jing learned the four arts from the daughter of the other party, and the Ji family would never be cold to the other party.So, when you come and go, you also have friendship.Then, every day, there are so many eye contact, occasional conversations... From one or two sentences, to three or four sentences, to being able to speak freely.Then I found that it was not easy for everyone, and they had a common language.Habits are formed little by little.

Then, in this era when both men and women are prone to emotions, it is only natural for two lonely men and widows who are so familiar to get married.

As a man, the owner of the bookstore always has to take responsibility, so on the first day of the new year, he asked his daughter to talk about it, and on the sixteenth day of the first month, he called a matchmaker to propose marriage.

What Ji Shi has to consider is whether to agree or not.Of course, the one who really wants to nod in this matter is Qijing.

Ji Shi is willing in her heart, she is only worried that her daughter will be unhappy.If her daughter doesn't want a stepfather and stepsister to press her down, she can only refuse.A remarried woman has no better reputation than a widow.And for her, her daughter is more important than herself.

Qijing is naturally willing, as long as she likes it and is willing to marry, Qijing will agree with it with both hands.No one hopes more than her, she should get married quickly, so as not to have anything to do with that scumbag in the future.

Although Ji Shi was full of embarrassment, he also gave a positive answer to the owner of the bookstore after the seven spots.However, during the engagement period, something went wrong again.

Ji Shi has no objection to arriving sooner or later, she just hopes that she can wait for her brother to come back and marry her off.

The owner of the bookstore hoped that before his daughter got married, he could marry the head mistress.There is a headed mistress who handles her daughter's marriage, and her reputation is better.It's all for my daughter's sake, so it's reasonable.

His daughter's wedding is scheduled for next August.

It's only February now, so logically, it's not close, and they have plenty of time to arrange their marriage.But Uncle Ji was born in the army now, and it is possible that he will not come back for one, two, three or four years.

So, things got stuck here.

How many times have you met in Qijing?As a result, if a marriage is arranged, they can break up directly, and even become enemies.At this moment, she was a little worried that the two people might not agree.

In the end, it was Qijing who came out to speak: "Mother wrote to uncle, he will think of a way if he thinks about it."

Both of them agreed that Ji Shi could think of no other way.The owner of the bookstore knows that the relationship between this young lady and his family's Fourth Highness has to be agreed if he disagrees.

Uncle Ji's letter came very quickly. In the letter, he said that he would be back in September today, and he also specially marked that he would stay in Beijing for two months.

So everyone was happy, and the wedding date was set on September 28.

Qijing began to prepare a dowry for her mother.Of course, the real main force in this matter is Madam Xu, and Qi Jing is only studying by the side.

Qijing herself was married before, as well as her daughter-in-law.But for the dowry of ordinary people, it was the first time for her to prepare it.

She didn't know what to prepare and how much to prepare.

Mother Xu said, "For women, the more dowry, the better. It's a woman's confidence after she gets married, and she should use everything from the man's side. Although it should be done, there will inevitably be times when it doesn't work. Yes. There has always been a regulation for everything. There are rules for how much the queen gets married, and how much the princess gets married. It depends on the status of the husband’s family.

The people also have their own rules.The wife is a second marriage, and the other party is a merchant, so it shouldn't be too high. A 36 carry is enough.I just want to inquire about the situation of the previous lady of the master.It stands to reason that Madam later, it is better to be lower, which is also a courtesy.And the other party is a well-known painter, so these 36 sets can be done in Yali. "

How to go to Yali?
It is to turn gold, silver and jade into antique calligraphy and paintings.The price has gone up, and it seems to be of extraordinary taste.

But in fact, what real antiques, famous calligraphy and paintings can be obtained by folk people?But it's just nice.For ordinary people, most of them are gold, silver and jade articles.

But there are seven sceneries, so there is really no shortage of these.Two months later, Uncle Ji brought over two carts of stuff, saying it was to add makeup to my sister.

Those things, not elegant, but expensive enough.

Qijing thought about it, and kept some particularly good ones, sold the rest, and gave them to Zhuangzi's shop.No matter which era, or land property shops are the most secure.

Ji Shi was unwilling and wanted to keep most of them.He was directly rejected by Qijing: "Mother, don't worry, uncle will definitely have good things to send home in the future, are you afraid that there will be no good things?"

Ji Shi was always easily persuaded, but this time, she was not so easy to let go: "Your uncle's things didn't fall from the sky, it's only been a few years, how much can he save? Maybe, this time It's the wealth he has accumulated over the years. When you look back, you can keep these things. Those from the Zhuangzi's shop are definitely available, but I can't take them away. I have to keep half of them for you and half for your uncle."

"But uncle said it was for your make-up."

"I don't need so much." Ji Shi didn't know what to think, and sighed: "It's okay, it's not about it."

Qijing discussed it with Mrs. Xu, and Mrs. Xu also agreed with Mrs. Ji.

It doesn't matter whether the things are in Ji's hands or Qijing's.However, Nanny Xu picked out a few good pieces of jewelry, all of which were in Seji's jewelry box.

…………

Time passed by little by little, spring went to summer.

It is hot day by day, and they are inexperienced, and they are not prepared for any ice at home. At this time, it is very difficult.Fortunately, the bookstore and Le Chen would send ice over from time to time.

Especially Le Chen, every day before dawn, he would first send over the ice they needed for the day.From what to use to what to eat... Every time I get these things, Ji's expression is very complicated.Some are sincere and fearful, and more are helpless.

Just after the extreme heat, it was followed by heavy rain for most of the month.Severe droughts and severe floods, the world is full of disasters, and the entire Dayan, the people are struggling to survive for a while.

In August, Uncle Ji sent an urgent letter saying that there was a civil uprising in a certain place, and he wanted to follow the general to send troops to suppress the civil uprising.In other words, my sister will not come back for her wedding day.But in the letter, he earnestly urged not to delay the marriage because of him, otherwise, it would affect the happiness of his sister, and he would be unable to sleep peacefully for the rest of his life.It's just that the matter of giving off a marriage is impossible.Fortunately, he has a righteous brother in Beijing, Quan Zuo's elder brother, and it is barely suitable to come to see off his relatives.

After reading the letter, Ji cried and laughed, and finally sighed after a while, but didn't say anything.

As for the seven sceneries, it's a little inexplicable.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to meet Le Chen, he asked curiously: "Isn't it true that my uncle's letters before were all fake?" believe.

Le Chen refused to admit it, "What nonsense, even this letter is true."

Qijing was a little unbelievable this time, it was too unreal.

Le Chen smiled and said: "The letter is indeed true, your mother will not mistake her brother's handwriting. It is also true that he is going to suppress civil unrest, but that brother is a fake. It cannot be regarded as fake, either. Once this matter is over, it will become true. In this capital, it is more convenient for your mother to be a backer than your uncle."

That man was arranged by him to be Ji's brother-in-law. It was originally used to give Qijing an identity. The whole family was from Hanlin, a real Qingliu.

Qijing glared at him, and acquiesced to the matter.

At the end of August, the righteous brother finally appeared.He brought his wife and lady over, and he barely got along with the Ji family, they were polite and passed Minglu.

Finally, the day of the big wedding came, and the righteous brother gave off the marriage, and the righteous sister-in-law was in charge.It was done in a splendid manner, lively and lively, but not frivolous or exaggerated.

As a daughter, Qijing didn't follow her this time.

Regarding the future of Qijing, Qijing has discussed with Ji Shi many times.In the end, after repeated persuasion by Qi Jing and Madam Xu, the Ji family finally let go. Her household registration is to enter the Fang family of the owner of the bookstore.However, she did not live in Fang's house, and still lived in Xiuzhuang.

The two sides are close to each other, door to door.But with such a door to separate, it is much more free.

Although Ji Shi is a good mother, Qijing prefers to be free.In particular, she also has a Lechen who meets her at midnight from time to time and stays overnight on her bed.

Moreover, on the other hand, Seven Scenery is really not good compared to the past.From Boss Fang's point of view, there was no clear relationship between her and his master.Are they father and daughter with him, or are they master and servant?Besides, Miss Fang, Miss Fang is about to get married, she always meets men privately, which is always a hindrance to her reputation.

These people will be considered her family in the future, she can't harm them, can she?
Ji's family doesn't understand the ingenuity, but Boss Fang and Miss Fang do.
