Ji Man sat down by the bed, saw Er Rong's crying face, sighed and wiped her snot with a handkerchief: "Why doesn't he want you anymore?"
Ning Errong wiped away his snot and tears with Ji Man's handkerchief, and then said: "These days, he has been going out with me and treated me so well, I thought he accepted the marriage of the Ning and Nie families. But now , He even said that he doesn't want to get married yet... What does he think of me?"
As he talked, he couldn't help crying again, Ji Man quickly patted her on the back and said: "You must have misheard what brother meant, brother is very stupid, and he is very slow to feelings, otherwise he wouldn't So far, there are only two concubines and no concubine, right? He really wants to find someone to live a good life, so he doesn't want to be in a hurry, and wants you to get along for a while, it's not that he doesn't want you. "
Er Rong was taken aback, and looked up at Ji Man pitifully: "Really?"
"I'm his own sister." Ji Man said with a guilty conscience, but calmly on the face.
Ning Errong's eyes lit up again, like black pearls emerging from water under the sun. In fact, this girl is not bad at heart, but she is a little arrogant and self-willed. However, she has deep affection for her brother, so she is also a candidate for a good sister-in-law.
After seeing all kinds of women in the courtyard of the Hou Mansion, Ji Man felt that it was best to find someone who only loved Nie Qingyun wholeheartedly to marry him.
Ning Errong calmed down, sat on the edge of the bed and straightened her bun, coughed lightly and said: "If I misunderstood, then it's not worth crying... Are you going out with this outfit?"
Ji Man nodded, and went back to her natal home under the order of the old lady. She specially changed into the most gorgeous dress today, wearing a jade pendant with the word Ning on her waist, a golden bird Tucui given by the old lady on her hair, and suet jade on her hands. The bracelet was also given to her by Mo Yuhou when he was in a good mood.
"I'll go back to Nie's mansion to see my brother, and talk to him about the reasoning. The Nie and Ning families are in-laws. It's a good thing to get closer. He should be enlightened."
Errong's eyes moved, and he said in a low voice: "Well... since you are going to see Qingyun, why don't you apologize to him for me?"
"Huh?" Ji Man was curious: "Why should you apologize?"
Glancing at Ji Man with a guilty conscience, Ning Errong said in a low voice: "Last time when he said he didn't want to get married, I slapped him... It was also in a moment of urgency."
Jiman: "..."
I thought matchmaker work should be quite easy, but now it seems a bit difficult. With Ning Errong's slap, no matter how good-tempered Nie Qingyun is, he won't turn around and continue marrying her, right
"It's okay, I'll tell my brother well." Ji Man patted Errong's shoulder, the little girl's face was almost swollen from crying, let her be at ease first.
The carriage Mo Yuhou arranged for her was the one he often used for his own trips. Ji Man only smiled slightly when he heard Clover happily tell her about the presents they brought to Nie's family this time, but he was still extremely disturbed.
Although everyone now knows that Nie Sangyu's temperament has changed drastically, he has become gentle and virtuous, and even won Mo Yuhou's love again. But she was afraid that some old fox in Nie's mansion would see that something was wrong with her, and if she asked some questions that she couldn't answer, it would be over.
So during this period of time, she never asked Clover anything, nor did she reveal the fact that the money was her own in the first place. Clover once anxiously asked her where the money in the dark compartment of the closet went, but she just said that she took it out to do other things. She didn't intend to deal with Alfalfa, even if she had rebellious intentions, she was the only person she could contact who understood Nie Sangyu.
What's more, she still wanted to use her tricks to pull out the person behind Alfalfa.
Ji Man got into the carriage, looked at Clover walking outside, and thought to himself, with so many bombs around him, Nie Sangyu's death was not wronged at all.
The Nie family is a well-known family, and the current head of the family is Nie Xiangyuan, who lives in the third rank of General Zhenyuan. The Nie family mansion was bestowed by the emperor, and it was divided into north and south courtyards. Nie Xiangyuan lived in the south courtyard with his children, wives and concubines, while his younger brother Nie Xiangtian lived in the north courtyard.
Due to the large number of disciples and rich population, the Nie family has always been a tumor in the emperor's heart. Last time, due to Concubine Nie's falling out of favor, many branches and leaves of the Nie family were cut off, and now they are still in good order, not daring to do anything inconsistent with the rules.
The old lady sent a letter to the Nie family in advance, and Chen Suqin, the current mistress of the Nie family, also ordered someone to clean out Nie Sangyu's yard. It's just that there are no other welcomes.
When the carriage arrived at Nie's mansion, Ji Man lifted the curtain and saw only Nie Qingyun standing at the gate of the mansion.
"Brother." Ji Man shouted happily. This man has always been the best to her. She doesn't have an older brother in modern times, and she is considered complete here.
Nie Qingyun smiled slightly. Seeing that her complexion was a little better than last time, she couldn't help taking a step forward, trying to reach out to touch her head, but seeing the gorgeous bun, she paused, and then slowly retracted it: " The servant said you would arrive at noon, but I didn't expect it to be two quarters of an hour earlier."
"Has brother been waiting for me?" Ji Man smiled with crooked eyebrows.
Nie Qingyun glanced at her, and led her into the mansion: "I just came back from outside."
The Nie Mansion is very large and gorgeous. According to regulations, this house is a bit out of order. But it was bestowed by the emperor, and no one can say anything. Ji Man looked around, and found that the pavilions and pavilions were patchwork, and there was a green pond under the corridor. After crossing the pond, we arrived at the South Courtyard. A servant girl and servants passed by, bowed their knees slightly to them, and then continued walking.
The prosperity of Nie's house made Jiman inexplicably think of Jia's mansion in Dream of the Red Chamber, and he was in a daze for a while.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Nie Qingyun thought she was upset, so she explained: "Chen Yu and Youran are still in embroidery class, so they didn't come to pick you up. The aunts and mother are waiting for you in the main courtyard." Woolen cloth."
Ji Man recovered, and said nervously: "Sang Yu is a junior, so there's no need for them to wait?"
Why do I always feel that this mansion is not very friendly to her? Hearing a group of women waiting in front, Ji Man panicked even more.
"You are the wife of Mo Yuhou now, they should wait."
Marquis Moyu lives in the first rank and is in charge of the six departments. Even Nie Xiangyuan has to salute when he sees it. When Ji Man read this book, he thought it was an idle job, but he didn't expect it to be so powerful.
Nie Xiangyuan's current wife, Chen Suqin, is strictly speaking Nie Sangyu's aunt, the kind she kisses, but she doesn't like Nie Sangyu, not since childhood. But the strange thing is that Nie Qingyun loves this sister very much for some reason.
So Ji Man didn't quite know what status Nie Sangyu had in the Nie family
After entering the main courtyard, there was a row of aunts sitting on it, and the graceful and luxurious woman in the middle smiled and said: "It can be regarded as coming back."
Ji Man stood still, she didn't know whether to salute them or what to do. Except for the one in the middle who must be Chen Suqin, she doesn't know any of the women in this room.
There was a hint of displeasure in Chen Suqin's eyes, she pinched the handkerchief and looked at Ji Man for a while, then said: "Sure enough, it's different if you marry well, and you don't have to salute your mother when you come back?"
Ji Man was taken aback, then knelt down towards her: "My daughter Sang Yu greets her mother."
Chen Suqin snorted coldly, and didn't let her get up. She sat on the seat and said coolly: "What is the status of the Nie family, a daughter of the first wife must be the main wife when she marries, and you marry out with the honor of your mother's family, but you don't know the rules. I came back with the title of a flat wife, and others will still scold me for being ineffective in teaching."
Ji Man was also a little upset, Chen Suqin herself was the superior wife, if Nie Sangyu's mother-in-law, Fubo, hadn't left early, would the position of the main wife fall on this woman
Thinking of what Nie Qingyun said just now, Ji Man felt that there was no need for him to be humble here. He wanted to survive in the Hou's Mansion, so why would he suffer from such uselessness here
So she got up regardless of Chen Shi's order, patted her skirt, looked up at Chen Shi and said, "Don't worry, mother, Sang Yu was taught by her biological mother and has nothing to do with you. Others only remember that Sang Yu is his father's wife." I won't blame you for what happened. You were just an ordinary wife at that time."
There are still so many aunts and concubines in the room, Ji Man's words directly choked Chen Suqin speechless, and pointed at her "you" with trembling fingers for a long time, his face turned pale with anger.
Nie Qingyun stood aside and gently pulled Rajman's sleeve.
Ji Man eased his expression, and said with a smile: "My daughter came back this time, but she was ordered by Mrs. Ning to talk about the marriage between Princess Jing Wenhou and her elder brother. She will leave after a while, so she won't hinder her mother's eyes."
"What a bastard!" Mrs. Chen was so angry that she lost her demeanor, stood up and said, "When is it your turn to worry about Qingyun's marriage? You are so disrespectful, you don't pay attention to me when you come back, and you think you can do it." Talking about Qingyun's matchmaker? You have a good idea!"
"Mother, calm down." Ji Man smiled and bent his knees: "You don't need Sang Yu to teach your mother the manners you should have in the courtroom?"
"You!" Chen smiled angrily: "Okay, I can't say enough about your mouth now, but I put it here. If you want Qingyun to marry the princess, you have to get my consent. I am his own mother!"
Ji Man walked over slowly, picked up the teapot beside her and poured Chen a cup of tea. Putting her hands together, she said, "Sang Yu's truth is not pleasant, and mother doesn't have to argue with me. It's about my brother's life, so mother should think about it carefully, right?"
In her heart, Mrs. Chen had no objection to Nie Qingyun marrying the princess, after all, her status was here, and marrying Ning Errong would only have advantages and no disadvantages for Nie Qingyun. It's just that she can't see Nie Sangyu's appearance now, and she used to be able to pinch her to be unreasonable and give her family law, but now she is the one who is jumping in anger, and she can't catch her fault at all!
The tea was handed to her eyes, but Mrs. Chen didn't want to take it, she couldn't swallow her breath, so she stretched out her hand and pushed it away: "I'm in charge of this matter, it's not your turn to speak."
She shouldn't have used much strength, but the tea in Nie Sangyu's hand was pushed out by her, and fell to the ground, splashing everywhere.
