Jie a husband is too arrogant

Chapter 56
Qiao An led Su Jiu and Chang Huan out of the flower hall to the east, until they reached the eastmost room in the courtyard. After entering, he immediately closed the door behind him.

There are some wooden shelves in the room, on which there are various porcelain and jade toys, and eight large mahogany boxes are placed in the middle.

"The bottom four boxes are our stones, and the top four boxes are the Su family's dowry!" Qiao An said as she opened one of the top boxes and lifted the red silk cloth, revealing the contents immediately.

A pair of official kiln thin-necked vases with pink butterflies on a white background, a pair of cracked emerald jade pots, a pair of phoenix makeup boxes painted with gold...

This box is almost full of porcelain.

Su Jiu opened another box, which contained carved red lacquer boxes one by one. After opening, there was a pair of exquisite jadeite bracelets, a pair of gold hairpins with colorful phoenix holding beads, and a pair of white jade hairpins that turned into butterflies...

This box is basically jewelry.

After Su Jiu looked at all the four boxes, only a wooden box in one box contained a thousand grains of silver, and the rest were basically silk or porcelain.

After closing the box, Su Jiu frowned, it seemed that their decision to stay in the Ji Mansion was right.

Although these dowries are also worth a lot of silver, most of them are objects, and they need to pawn them before they can be exchanged for silver.

But if they ran away, and the Ji government tracked them down, it would be impossible for them to pawn these things in Shengjing's pawn shop. If they were transported out of Shengjing, fragile porcelain and heavy silk and satin would be difficult to carry.

The only thing that can be taken out is the 1000 taels of silver.

After a toss, they got 1000 taels of silver, none of them could be reconciled.

Therefore, I can only continue to stay in Ji Mansion.

"The business of our tavern has been very good recently. The beef pot proposed by the boss is very popular, and the profit is very good now. My idea is to invest the 1000 taels of silver in it and find a bustling street to open another branch. , What do you think?" Qiao An looked at Su Jiu and asked.

Su Jiu nodded, "That's a good idea. If I can go out these two days, let's go and see the store!"

"Okay!" Joan chuckled and nodded.

In the afternoon, Ji Yuxian brought Jin Feng back from outside the mansion, as soon as he entered and exited the cloud pavilion, Jin Mi came up to him, followed Ji Yuxian, and said with a smile,

"My eldest son, before noon, Yuyi Fang sent a painting, saying it was a wedding gift from Miss Lan."

Today Ji Yuxian wore a black long gown wrapped in silver thread, covered with snow white fur, black and white matched, elegant and elegant.

Wen Yan's footsteps paused, his long eyes raised slightly, "Where is it?"

"The servant is in your study!"

Ji Yuxian nodded lightly, took a long leg, and walked quickly to the study.

Pushing open the door and entering, a gust of hot wind blows in, Jin Mi raised her hand to untie the man's fur.

Sure enough, there was a framed picture scroll on the desk, Ji Yuxian picked it up, opened it slowly, and a picture of bamboo in ink appeared vividly on the paper.

Jin Mi glanced on tiptoe from behind, and said with a soft smile, "This bamboo painting is really good. The bamboo branches and leaves are layered, but not messy. The brushwork is done in one go, and the bamboo style can be seen."

Ji Yuxian glanced at her lightly with his long eyes, and said with a smile on his lips, "You really understand!"

"After following the young master for a long time, I still have this vision!" Jin Mi laughed crisply.

Ji Yuxian pursed his lips and smiled, slowly rolled up the scroll and handed it to Jin Mi, "Put it away!"

He understands what she means!

She has her arrogance and persistence, so he never forces her!
"Aren't you going to hang up?" Jin Mi asked.

"No need, just put it away!"

"Yes!" Jin Mi sealed the scroll and carefully placed it in the painting slot on the bookshelf.

Sitting behind the desk, Ji Yuxian casually picked up half of the previous ledgers and continued to look through them.

Jin Mi walked lightly, brewed hot tea and placed it by his hand, and took a jasper incense box to add incense to the censer.

"What did Young Madam do today?" Ji Yuxian asked suddenly.

Jin Mi was taken aback, but then her face paled a little, but her tone was still charming, "After breakfast, I went to Jinglan Garden to greet the second lady, and then I didn't go out all day. At noon, the fourth young lady went to Qifengyuan Greetings, but I heard that I came back after sitting for a while, and the greetings after the young lady explained will be avoided."

"Young master!" Suddenly a servant knocked on the door and came in, reporting, "The servants of Lianboyuan came and said that the Second Young Madam has stewed seafood porridge by herself, so I invite you to come over for dinner in the evening."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone came in again, "My son, the third young lady sent someone to invite you to come over tonight!"

Jin Mi looked at the two with cold eyes. It was only the first day, and the three young ladies in the backyard couldn't bear it anymore.

According to the ancestors of the Ji family, men can take concubines before they get married, but in order to be fair, they can only have sex with concubines after they get married.

After that, which house the eldest son will be born in will depend on his own fortune.

So Ji Yuxian got married yesterday, today the two young ladies can't wait to invite Ji Yuxian into their room.

Ji Yuxian raised his eyes and glanced at the two servants, and said in a low voice, "Send a message to Qifengyuan, and I will have dinner with the young lady at night."

Jin Mi rolled her eyes, and replied reluctantly, "Yes!"

Hearing that Ji Yuxian would come over at night, everyone in the yard was very busy.

Prepare Ji Yuxian's favorite dishes, prepare his special bowls and dishes, and scent each room, everything is so delicate that you can't find any faults.

Only Su Jiu was the most leisurely, taking a nap until it was almost dark, and when she got up, she sat on the low couch, roasted the stove, ate melon seeds, and chatted with Chang Huan.

If Mrs. Ji's young lady enjoys it so leisurely, she will fall in love with this profession a little bit.

His mouth was dry from eating melon seeds, and after drinking a few cups of hot tea, it was already dark outside.

The nanny ran in, "Miss, the eldest son is here and is going to the dining room, hurry up!"

Su Jiu stretched her waist, "Go, let's eat!"

Taking the nanny and Chang Huan out to the dining room, as soon as he entered, he saw Ji Yuxian sitting behind the dining table, behind him stood the maid who was arrogant in the restaurant last time, and beside him were four or five maids, Waiting to serve Ji Yuxian for dinner.

Su Jiu's eyes swept away, and she curled her lips into a chuckle, "Is this a meal, or is it a fight?"

It takes so many people to serve a meal?
Hypocritical!

Ji Yuxian was sitting on the spacious seat, seeming to be sleeping with his eyes closed, or waiting for her. Hearing this, he slowly opened his eyes, which were filled with brilliance in an instant, and the candlelight at the side dimmed a bit.

"Ma'am, sit down!"

"I don't like so many people watching me eat!" Su Jiu shrugged.

Ji Yuxian swept his eyes left and right, "Go down!"

"Yes!"

The little maids standing by the side filed out, leaving only Jin Mi alone.

Su Jiu sat down and greeted Chang Huan and the nanny, "Let's eat together, why are you standing?"

"Is it the Su family's rule that servants and masters sit at the same table?" Jin Mi laughed mockingly.

Su Jiu raised her head and looked over, raised her eyebrows and smiled, but her eyes were cold and stern, "If you don't like it, you can leave!"

"You," Jin Mi stared.

"Jinmi!" Ji Yuxian opened his mouth shallowly, "When did the Ji Mansion have a rule that servants can talk back to their master?"

Jin Mi's face turned pale immediately, and she knelt down to Ji Yuxian with a plop, "I know my mistake!"

"Go down!" Ji Yuxian's voice was gentle.

"Yes!" Jin Mi got up, bowed her head and retreated to the door, when she passed by Su Jiu, she glanced over from the end of her eyes, as if a vicious snake and scorpion.

The nanny was afraid that Su Jiu would insist on letting her and Chang Huan sit down to eat together, so she hurriedly took Chang Huan to retreat.

　Sorry, it's later today
