royal girl

Chapter 240 Ji Xiaocui

As soon as Xueying's words fell to the ground, Huiyu turned to look at Mrs. Dong and said with a smile; "It's pretty punctual."

Mrs. Dong Er's face was a little stiff, but she tried to become softer facing her daughter, and said with a sigh: "There are not many advantages, so naturally we should cherish the performance."

Huiyu: ...

The curtain of the door was lifted quickly, and Dong Yunji walked in first, wearing a straight indigo dark pattern, and his hair neatly tied on top of his head. Seeing the mother and sister sitting inside, he first showed a big smile, and then Only then did Ji Xiaocui pull in from behind the curtain.

Huiyu had imagined what kind of person Ji Xiaocui would be before, but no matter how much she imagined, she was not shocked by seeing it directly.

She was dressed in a cherry red jacket and skirt, perhaps because she had been washed a few times, she was slightly pale, her skin was indeed not too white, but it was made darker by the color of the delicate clothes.Standing in this room is a bit restrained, after all, the wealth and aura of the palace along the way have never been seen by ordinary people.Her hair was simply combed into a side bun, and the two-inch long tassels hung from the plain silver hairpin, dangling behind her ears.Looking at the facial features, although the complexion is darker, the eyes are dark and bright, although they are not big, they are extraordinarily energetic.There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, but he didn't show his teeth, showing a line of white teeth.The eyebrows are well-grown, not to mention dark and thick, but also natural long eyebrows, but there is no need to trim them.

Generally speaking, Huiyu felt that the first time this girl met her was that she was very lively. Although she was a little cramped, there was no petty tweaking or affectation in her expression, which made her very pleasing.

Mrs. Dong Er didn't speak, and Huiyu couldn't just sit around, so she greeted Ji Xiaocui with a smile, "Miss Ji, sit down quickly. You saved my brother. Our family is very grateful for the girl's generous help. Bo Yuntian."

Ji Xiaocui laughed when she heard this, and with a big smile on her lips, she knelt down and saluted, "Ministers come from a humble background, with little literacy, and bad manners. Please greet the princess and madam."

Huiyu observed carefully. Although Ji Xiaocui said such things in his mouth, his generous words and deeds made up for the lack of rules.Moreover, he is a very good talker, and he confessed all his shortcomings when he came up. He came from a humble background, had little literacy, and lacked rules.The key is that Ji Xiaocui didn't think too much about Ji Xiaocui at the beginning, but now looking at her and her performance, I feel a little surprised, at least people can show their hands.In fact, her complexion is not as dark as Huiyu thought. It's all because they didn't make it clear when they first said that Ji Xiaocui's complexion is the wheat color that later generations usually think.The reason why Dong Yunji and Ji Qiyu's skin color is dark is that the skin color of the ladies in Kyoto is used as a comparison. If Ji Xiaocui is placed among the daughters of ordinary people's families, I am afraid it is still relatively outstanding.

Mrs. Dong's expression softened a little. Although she still had a straight face, she said, "Sit down, I've come from a long way, and I have a rest."

Dong Yunji, who said this, looked at his mother and said: "Mother, this is all my fault. I didn't mean to talk to you first and then bring someone to show you. If you want to blame, blame me." Dong Yunji walked up to Mrs. Dong and pulled his mother's sleeve to act like a spoiled child.

Huiyu: ...

Ji Xiaocui: ...

Mrs. Dong Er has a quick temper. Her son was so protective of a woman who hadn't been married yet and hadn't been recognized by her. He felt uncomfortable at first, "Bah! You dare to make decisions about marriage. I don't have such a son."

Dong Yunji said with a cheeky smile: "At that time, your son didn't even know if he would survive. The girl took me to hide in Tibet, and almost got in with me several times. What's more, the lonely man and widow were alone for a few days. I have to be responsible too, I am not the kind of ungrateful person. Didn’t you teach me this?”

Mrs. Dong Er was really mad at her son, what did she teach?Can she teach unfilial sons who can make decisions about their marriage?
"Well, after talking about it for a long time, you still want to blame me. In your eyes, is your old lady so easy to fool?"

Mrs. Dong's second wife was already concerned about this matter, but Dong Yunji spoke too bluntly, which made her angry again, and her expression changed.

Huiyu looked at Ji Xiaocui who was standing beside her, her expression didn't change at all, as if she didn't feel that the current situation was so unfavorable to her.Either he was so stupid that he didn't understand the meaning, or he was very smart to watch her mother fight with her brother.Thinking of this, Huiyu said to her brother: "Brother, let Miss Ji sit down first, let's sit down and talk slowly."

Dong Yunji scratched his head, looked at the girl and said, "I can't speak, and I'm mad at my mother again, please persuade me quickly." After speaking, he turned his head to look at Ji Xiaocui and said, "Sit down, there are no outsiders here. My sister has a lot of heart, what do you say when you talk to her, otherwise you will be the one who is cheating yourself. My mother has a big temper but a good heart. She has a knife mouth and a bean curd heart. If you treat her with heart, you will be treated like a daughter in less than a month. .”

Huiyu: ...

Mrs. Dong Er: ...

This is great wisdom and foolishness, right?In fact, his brother used to pretend to be stupid, right?No wonder Ji Qiyu said that your brother is different in front of you than outside, and today I finally understand this sentence.

Dong Yunji spoke so bluntly, but Huiyu didn't know what to say.Second Madam Dong smashed the lid of the teacup, she was angry.

As a result, before the teacup cover fell on Dong Yunji, Ji Xiaocui, who was next to him, reached out and grabbed the teacup cover in his hand, and said with a smile: "This cover is so beautiful, it's strange that it fell to the ground and broke into pieces." It's a pity, if you take it out and sell it, you can get at least ten strings of copper coins."

Second Madam Dong was stunned.

Huiyu pursed her lips but laughed. This Ji Xiaocui was really interesting, so she deliberately followed her words and said, "This tea cup is a set of twelve, and the prince specially asked the kiln to burn it for me. There is absolutely no tea in the market. I can’t find the same second one, just such a cover, it’s not a penny of silver in the mouth of Miss Ji, even one or two taels of silver can’t be bought. If you want to sell it, there are people who want 100 taels.”

When Huiyu said this, Ji Xiaocui's hands trembled, and he quickly put the cover on the table carefully, "100 taels? How much fish do I have to fish to afford it? Let's put it on the table. A hand trembled and fell, but I can't afford it, I can't afford it. I will spend my whole life fishing for the princess to pay off the debt."

"You have saved my brother's life. What's the big deal about one lid. Not to mention one, even ten or eight can fall." Huiyu smiled more affectionately.

"Princess, don't say that. Help belongs to help, and cover belongs to cover. I followed him to Beijing this time, and I didn't want to leave. I have never been to Kyoto and want to see it. I know that people like me are not worthy of it." He, the grace of saving my life is what I am willing to save, and it has nothing to do with others, so don't take what he said to the princess and wife." Ji Xiaocui smiled as she spoke, "Although I have no knowledge, I don't know much. However, I also heard from the master in our village that marriage is a good thing for two surnames. It is a happy event. I will go back in a few days. I didn’t want to come, but I also want to see the relatives he said. I am I have a hard life by nature, and I don’t have any relatives around me, so I feel that people who have relatives by my side are very happy. I’m content with just taking a look, and I don’t dare to climb high, Madam, don’t worry.”

Huiyu deliberately tried to test Ji Xiaocui just now, and obviously he understood, so he simply explained what he said directly.As a result, not to mention Huiyu, even Mrs. Dong gave Ji Xiaocui a high look.

Huiyu suddenly understood why her brother liked this girl.The person is indeed of average appearance, with little literacy and lack of self-cultivation. If such a girl is matched with her brother, it is estimated that many people in Kyoto will have their mouths grinning from ear to ear.But Mrs. Dong and Mr. Dong's husband and wife have had a bad relationship since they were young, and now they are slowly coming together in middle age. Seeing such a couple's life since childhood, probably Dong Yunji especially hoped that his future wife would be a capable wife. Talk to him, a good person.Although Ji Xiaocui is not outstanding in all aspects, but this girl is honest, dare to speak and act, maybe it is this that caught Dong Yunji's eyes.

Dong Yunji became anxious when he heard this, "Who do you think I am? Of course what I said counts. You think my mother and my sister are both fickle and ungrateful people. You are wrong. Don't talk nonsense , you are not allowed to leave when you come. You forgot what you said to me in the south? How did you say that you don’t remember?”

"At that time, I didn't know that you were the young master of the government." Ji Xiaocui mumbled while lowering her head, "If you know it, you won't tell me if you kill me."

"What's wrong with me being the young master of the palace?" Dong Yunji blushed angrily, "It has nothing to do with anything else, don't think about it."

"Who's thinking about it?" Ji Xiaocui was also anxious, "You really don't know what to do. It's my business to save you. It's your business to marry me. It's also my business whether you agree or not. No rush, what are you in a hurry for?"
