This is directly related to the question of whether she can go back. Although she has been here for a long time, she is used to the ancient way of life. Isn't it just going to bed earlier, no night life, no computer and TV, and can only fight with a group of women beat time. Looking up and down are all antiques, and there are so many people serving, life is not boring.
But she still wants to go back. She still has sales reports to finish, novels and TV dramas to follow, and a generous year-end bonus to buy a few big things for her parents. I have been staying here like this, and I don’t know how long the modern day has passed.
Ji Man sighed, feeling a little melancholy.
The people around her suddenly hugged her tightly, only for a moment, but then let go, breathing steadily as if she had fallen asleep.
Ji Man looked up at him, this man whom Nie Sangyu liked so much that he died, was indeed much cuter when he was asleep than when he was awake.
The next day it was said that the old lady was awake, so Ji Man hurriedly took Mrs. Xia to see her. The old lady only woke up for half a stick of incense, hugged Xia's child and shouted hello several times, then fell asleep again.
So Ji Man calmly called Xia's child's baby name Hao Hao.
This name is too strange, Xia Shi was a little dissatisfied, but Ning Yuxuan did not object, and even supported Xia Shi's shoulder to comfort him: "After all, it's just a baby name. When he turns one year old, I will name it for him myself."
Wen Wan was still standing aside, her eyes were a little red. Ji Man thought, if he saw this in the original book, he was probably abusing the heroine. The male protagonist brings back an illegitimate child and empathizes with another. It is enough to describe the female protagonist's psychological activities and memories of abuse for several chapters.
In winter, the problem of distribution of charcoal fires and clothing and food distribution in various courtyards came again. Since children were added to many yards, Ji Man had to count more. The Xia family's child has been recorded in the Ning family tree, and it is the eldest son of Mo Yuhou. When Ji Man divides things, he naturally also needs to share more with Cailian Pavilion.
As for the title, too many people in the mansion were dissatisfied with the Xia family, and Ji Man didn't dare to give it up, so he was given the status of a concubine, under Liu Hanyun and Clover.
There was news from the Qianfu that Qian Lianxue was ill and was about to die, Mo Yuhou went to visit Qian Yingchen for the sake of Qian Yingchen's sake.
"The concubine also goes together." Ji Man grabbed Ning Yuxuan's sleeve and said with a smile.
Ning Yuxuan did not refuse, the two of them drove to Qianfu together, went in and saw that Qian Lianxue was skinny, and when she saw Mo Yuhou, her tears kept falling.
"It's great that Lord Hou can still come to see Lianxue." Qian Lianxue stretched out her thin hand, wanting to pull Mo Yuhou, but the latter stood where she couldn't reach him, and didn't even think about going forward. further.
Ji Man was dumbfounded, he thought Qian Lianxue was pretending to be sick, but unexpectedly she was really sick. She glanced at Jinse next to her, and Jinse made a gesture to go out, and Jiman followed suit and gave up the room to the two people inside.
"Is it really sick?" Ji Man asked.
Jinse pulled her to a corner where no one was around, and said with a sneer: "She is smart, she made herself like this. Originally, the master wanted to kill her, and everyone heard that she was dying, so no one wanted to dirty her." He said he was about to die, isn't he still hanging on after dying for so long?"
Ji Man thought it was true, but what has Qian Lianxue been trying to figure out all this time? She doesn't quite understand.
"Originally, the servant felt strange when she ate the pastry by mistake in the Hou's mansion." Jinse laughed mockingly: "The servant regards her as half the master, but she turned around to harm the servant. I really caught the servant by surprise."
Ji Man's thoughts moved slightly.
In the beginning, Jinse was sent by the prince, but apart from making things difficult for her on the southern tour, she didn't do anything against her in the mansion afterwards, instead she often came to remind her a word or two. The prince hates her, if Jinse is the prince's person, naturally she won't have such a good time with her.
There is a detail in the middle that she probably overlooked. When sending birthday gifts to the third prince, Jin Se knew that the third prince liked pictures of beauties, not landscape paintings.
In other words, Jinse should actually belong to the third prince. Then she said that she took Qian Lianxue as half of her master, which meant that Qian Lianxue also obeyed the orders of the third prince
Ji Man is a little confused, although she is not too close to Zhao Jue, but they have the same interests, Zhao Jue will not harm her. If Qian Lianxue obeyed the third prince wholeheartedly, how could she harm her, how could she harm Jinse
Unless, Qian Lianxue staged an ancient Infernal Affairs, undercover oo7, while obeying the orders of the third prince, but also obeying the orders of other people, performing tasks on both sides, that would make her unable to understand what she wanted.
Ji Man thinks that she might be a bit out of her mind. Women in ancient times were raised in deep boudoirs. Few women have such scheming and courage, right? After all, once she was exposed, she would be completely unable to gain a foothold.
But, if she guessed right, who is Qian Lianxue's other master? Could it be that her child fell into the hands of that person
In the room, Qian Lianxue was crying and laughing, looking at Ning Yuxuan and said affectionately: "Lianxue has been in poor health since she was a child, and she has no parents to protect her, and she has to take care of her younger brother. From that moment on, Lianxue fell in love with Lord Hou."
Mo Yuhou sat quietly by the bed.
"When I was young, I saw that my minister was bullied. As an older sister, I couldn't help him fight back. Instead, I asked him to protect me." Qian Lianxue choked up and said, "I'm a useless older sister, so I thought that later, I could Do your best to fight for something more for your ministers."
"I welcome you back because I think you need someone to take care of you." Ning Yuxuan opened his mouth, looked at her and said, "You don't want to be bullied, you want to live a good life, the Hou Mansion didn't treat you badly, why do you want to meddle in so many things , working for someone else? Lianxue, you are just a woman."
Qian Lianxue shook her head: "I am the only elder sister of the minister, and he didn't understand me later, so I have nothing to say. It's just that he followed Lord Hou to do things, and Lianxue couldn't understand the methods of Lord Hou. Chaos, he will be affected, so I... "
"Pretending to be smart." Ning Yuxuan calmly concluded her.
Qian Lianxue bit her lip, coughed twice before saying, "Lianxue never thought of hurting Lord Hou or his heirs. Lord Hou's backyard is too messy, Lianxue just wanted to find a balance."
It's too much.
Ning Yuxuan knew that Qian Lianxue was sophistrying, and wanted to win his sympathy. But there is still a thousand minister in the middle, so he can't say much, he can only listen to her.
"Can Lord Hou stay with Lianxue at night?" Qian Lianxue said with tears in her eyes: "Lianxue has been dreaming of Lord Hou every day lately."
Ji Man stood outside the door, thinking that this is really going on, he is so sick and still wants Mo Yuhou to stay overnight? Could it be that he still wants to use this night to stuff his stomach with a pillow, so that he can turn around and go back to the Hou Mansion later
Think beautifully.
Pushing open the door, Ji Man walked to the bed, pretending not to hear Qian Lianxue's words just now, but said anxiously: "Master Hou, someone from the mansion came to report just now, saying that the old lady's illness is getting worse."
One advantage of Mo Yuhou is that no matter how other women make trouble, mother is still the most important thing.
So Ning Yuxuan stood up without saying a word, pulled Ji Man and left.
"Lord Hou," Qian Lianxue called weakly, but Mo Yuhou didn't turn her head.
Ji Man didn't lie about the military situation, the old lady's illness got worse every day, and today she was in a coma and didn't wake up all day.
Ning Mingjie was standing by the old lady's bed, and when he heard them coming back, he looked back.
The imperial doctor was checking the pulse at the side, still shaking his head.
"That's what happened in the past two days."
Ji Man was taken aback, looked at the haggard face on the couch, and pursed his lips. Mo Yuhou's face was not very good-looking, and he only asked the imperial doctor if there was any other way.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became sad, Dang Gui and Wu gritted their teeth and shed tears, and all the concubines and aunts were also silent.
If the old lady had gone, Ji Man would be the only woman in this courtyard who would feel sad. The rest of the people have not received much blessing from the old lady, and Wen Wan would even feel happy that a mountain on their heads is finally about to fall.
After the old lady left, Wen Wan thought about who she could talk to the queen with. She had given birth to a child. At least she asked the emperor to cancel her punishment. Naturally, she had to snatch her own child back from Nie Sangyu.
Nie Sangyu has no heirs, once the old lady is gone, the position of the main wife will not be stable for a few years, everything still has a chance.
Ji Man turned her head and saw Wen Wan's raised lips, feeling disgusted in her heart, and looked at her coldly.
"Madam?" Wen Wan was startled, and looked at her with an innocent expression on her face.
Don't start with Ji Man, a small-minded woman like Wen Wan can only be the heroine with the aura of invincible heroine given by the author, otherwise she wouldn't even be considered a supporting role, worse than Qian Lianxue.
The only advantage to her is that the author of the original book set Mo Yuhou to love her.
If you have love, you can go all the way unimpeded. You don't have to do anything, just wait for the male protagonist to save and finally have a happy ending
Jiman does not approve of this kind of value of getting something for nothing.
For the next few days, Ji Man stayed in the old lady's yard, and Ning Mingjie and Ning Yuxuan also stayed there, but Ning Yuxuan occasionally went out for business.
Two days later in the afternoon, when Ning Yuxuan was going out, the death knell rang in the Hou Mansion.
The old lady finally went.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Ji Man looked at the relieved smile on her face and asked blankly, "Why is death a relief?"
There was an imperial decree in the palace to posthumously confer the title of first-rank lady protecting the country on the old lady, and to bury her with noble concubine etiquette. The tomb is next to Pingnanhou. There are two tombstones, one new and one old, but they are side by side and very close to each other.
On the day of the funeral, Ji Man didn't shed tears, but she didn't speak all the way.
In this era, the person who had been protecting her sincerely had left. Ji Man suddenly discovered that she had always thought that she was watching this place quietly from the sidelines. It turned out that she was wrong, and she had long been involved in it.
