I went to report to the old lady at dinner time, Ji Man picked some good ones to say, and seeing that the old lady was also very interested in matching, he said, "Sang Yu will let my brother come and walk around the house more when he is free."
"You are sensible." The old lady patted her hand and smiled happily: "Concubine Nie has always been worried that you won't think about it, but now you are so cute and let me worry, Xuan'er is really blind to like it That small-bellied thing."
These words were quite angry, Ji Man asked curiously: "What's wrong?"
What happened when they were not in the mansion
The old lady's face darkened, and she snorted softly, "She came to serve tea in my yard in the afternoon. I didn't drink it, and I didn't like scented tea at first. She chose the sweet-scented osmanthus tea that I hate the most. For such a trivial matter, she ran away I went to Xuan'er to cry and feel wronged, thinking that Xuan'er would protect her. I really have no eyesight, I have raised Xuan'er for so many years, is it possible that I am not as good as a wild woman?"
Ji Man probably guessed what was going on, the old lady must have given Wen Wan another look, the heroine's heart was made of glass, it must have been broken and then went to cry to the hero, the hero must be in a dilemma, Finally let it go.
On one side is his wife, on the other side is his mother, poor Mo Yuhou.
Ji Man gloated unkindly for a while, and then said seriously: "Madam just entered the mansion, I don't know your preferences, why should the old lady be angry with her?"
"I just can't understand her vicious look." The old lady said with a sullen face: "The Ning family has been a big family for generations, and received the emperor's kindness, which house is not selected from thousands of people, but this person was born..."
The old lady didn't finish the rest, so Ji Man could guess it. Just because Wen Wan was not selected by the old lady, the old lady didn't like it anyway. This is really the heroine's innocence. It's just that the heroine is obviously not smart enough, and she can't bear any grievances. How can she manage this big family well
"She showed me this month's accounts some time ago. It's a mess. It's not as good as a concubine's room." The more the old lady said, the more angry she became: "Why did Xuan'er marry her? No Knowing how to manage the family, but not being filial to the mother, all she cares about is to confuse people."
It's not easy for Ji Man to interrupt, so he just listens to the old lady's complaints. However, after finishing speaking, the old lady looked at her and thought for a while, then said: "Why don't I tell Xuan'er, let you take care of the accounts."
Ji Man was taken aback: "Ah? Why didn't you give it to Master Ling?"
Qi Siling was in charge of the previous accounts, and it is said that he managed them well.
"She is an outsider after all." The old lady gave her a meaningful look and said.
Ji Man understood, thinking about it, the accounts of the Hou Mansion are so large, it is very easy to extract money from the management of the accounts. Even if there is only the ledger in the backyard, there are still many hands and feet that can be done in the middle. Naturally, it must be held in the hands of someone who can make the old lady feel at ease.
"But, will Lord Hou agree?" Ji Man asked worriedly. Lost the power to manage the accounts, how can the gentle wife still have dignity
"He has to agree if he refuses." The old lady said with a straight face: "Didn't you return the jade pendant that you gave to your wife last time? It is enough to show that you are generous and sensible. I will let him see Wen Wan this time. If you make mistakes and omissions, let him hand over the accounts to me, and you will help me manage them behind the scenes, so he will naturally not be able to say anything."
For this sake, Ji Man had no choice but to agree. Although it is very tiring to manage the accounts, once she takes care of the accounts in the backyard, she is more popular as a concubine than the main room. If the steward Qian will send her charcoal, she will definitely send two large baskets of good silver charcoal.
Wen Wan sat in the room and wept silently, while Mo Yuhou stood aside and sighed: "Mother's temperament is just like this, so just feel wronged."
"When will I be wronged?" Wen Wan raised her eyes and looked at him: "You are always facing your mother, even if she is wrong, you will only tell me to endure. When I didn't enter the door in the past, how kind you were to me , I can’t see me being wronged at all. Now it’s telling me to keep being wronged and wronged.”
Ning Yuxuan had some headaches, but he couldn't bear to be angry with Wen Wan, so he could only persuade in a gentle voice: "The things in the house are not only related to you and me, why do you bother me?"
"Is it because I made things difficult for you?" Wen Wan stood up angrily, ran towards the bed with red eyes, buried herself in the quilt and cried, "Then I won't make things difficult for you, I'll forget it if you divorce!"
Mo Yuhou's face also darkened: "Wen Wan, be careful when you speak."
"Originally! Every time I go to the main courtyard, she always embarrasses me. I can't do anything right. It's better not to stay in this Hou Mansion!" Wen Wan cried hard.
Ning Yuxuan moved forward, wanting to comfort her, but thought that this temper was his own habit, so he took back his steps and said coldly: "You like to make trouble, so you can make trouble."
After saying that, he turned around and left the rose garden.
Wen Wan cried even louder, but she couldn't stop Ning Yuxuan from walking. At first he thought she was so pitiful when she cried, which made him feel affectionate, but now she was crying hysterically, which made him feel embarrassed and wanted to leave.
Walking on the ground, I walked to Feiwan Pavilion without knowing it. Ji Man was trimming the plum tree in the yard, with his cuffs tied up and his hair tied back smoothly, without a bun, looking gentle and gentle.
In the past, Nie Sangyu was the one I hated to see the most, but now that I look at it, it becomes more and more pleasing to the eye. Ning Yuxuan couldn't help cursing himself in his heart, thinking that Feiwan Pavilion was a place where he could feel at ease
Jiman turned his back to the door and didn't see Mo Yuhou, but Clover next to him did. It's just that the little girl became smarter after following Jiman for so long, so she left without a sound.
"Clover, where's the handkerchief?" Ji Man, with his hands covered in mud, was in a good mood looking at the pruned plum tree.
Someone stood beside her, quietly took out a handkerchief, grabbed her hand, and wiped it off bit by bit.
Ji Man felt something was wrong, and when she turned around, she saw Ning Yuxuan's gentle eyes.
The hand subconsciously retracted.
Ning Yuxuan was not annoyed, but just looked at her out of the corner of his eyes and said, "Why are you so carefree today?"
Ji Man chuckled, and said: "Winter is here, and the yard is very bleak, so I'd better cut the plum blossoms, and look at them comfortably inside the house."
Ning Yuxuan glanced at the plum tree in front of him, and there was a bit of disgust in his eyes: "You will feel comfortable looking at this ghostly look?"
It's too ugly to cut.
Ji Man gritted his teeth while smiling, how else should he cut it? Can you cut him a he11okitty? She has already cut off all the ugly branches!
"Bring it." He stretched out his hand, his slender fingers were the benefits of hand control, Ji Man swallowed, and cut some muddy flowers to him.
Ning Yuxuan took it over, took a look at the plum tree, stretched out his hand and quickly cut off the redundant branches, leaving behind the main plum blossoms and the good-looking auxiliary branches. Compared with the luxuriance just now, this plum blossom finally has a little The taste of winter plum depression.
Ji Man felt that the Marquis' appreciation level was a bit strange, but she didn't have the guts to say it out, so she could only respond: "Ah, it looks much better."
Ning Yuxuan threw the flower scissors aside, took the handkerchief in her hand and wiped her hands, then said in silence for a while: "I'll sleep with you tonight."
It looked like he was worried again, and Ji Man was used to it. Whenever this person encountered any troubles or quarreled with Wen Wan, he would definitely come to her.
"good."
Wen Wan cried all afternoon in the room, when Qi Siling passed by, her eyes were swollen.
"Why do you do this?" Qi Siling sighed, "Master Hou still has you in his heart, so why are you so eager to force him?"
"Si Ling, what should I do?" Wen Wan said aggrievedly: "I feel that he doesn't love me as much as before."
Qi Siling paused, and then said: "You think too much, and you know how much the Marquis protects you. It's just that the old lady is always thinking about getting Nie Sangyu back into the royal family, so what do you do?" She won't be around."
Wen Wan pursed her lips: "It's a big deal, I'll give her back the position of the main wife, I just want Yuxuan."
"What are you talking about?" Qi Siling shook his head and said, "If you return this position to Nie Sangyu one day, then no one in the whole house will be able to live in peace."
Wen Wan's tears were about to fall again: "What do you want me to do?"
"This matter is actually very easy to deal with." Qi Siling said: "The old lady is making trouble for you because of Nie Sangyu. Who doesn't want the house to be peaceful? Find a way to get Nie Sangyu away. The old lady doesn't think about it anymore, so naturally she won't Don't embarrass you any more."
Wen Wan's eyes widened, and after thinking for a long time, she actually felt that Qi Si Ling's words made sense.
However, with the old lady protecting her, how can she get rid of Nie Sangyu
"If Madam believes me, just do as I say. Nie Sangyu is not a seamless egg, and if she catches a little mistake, she can die without a place to bury her." Qi Siling spoke a little excitedly, causing Wen Wan to be a little puzzled looking at her.
"Why do you have such a big prejudice against her?"
Qi Siling pursed her lips and said with a smile: "If someone wants to scratch your face, you will naturally have a big prejudice against her."
Thinking of what Mo Yuhou told her about Nie Sangyu before, he nodded gently, intending to trust Qi Siling.
"I'll give you Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale today." Lying on the bed, Ji Man couldn't help patting Ning Yuxuan on the back like coaxing a child: "In the depths of the sea, there lives a little mermaid..."
Ning Yuxuan listened quietly, her peach blossom eyes slightly closed, looking at the tender neck of the man in front of her, she felt a little impulsive in her heart.
"The mermaid fell in love with the prince, so she decided to use her voice to exchange a pair of human legs with the witch..." Ji Man didn't realize that, anyway, Mo Yuhou was not interested in her many times, so he relaxed a lot now.
"Later the prince fell in love with the princess and wanted to marry the princess. The little mermaid couldn't speak and could only cry secretly..."
"...In the end, the little mermaid turned into foam and disappeared on the surface of the sea." Ji Man sighed and finished the last word, just about to ask him how he felt, but suddenly felt a heat on his neck.
