Chapter 113 Entering the village to fish for the victory
After dinner, Mrs. Ji gave Song Ruoxi two booklets, one called "The Secret of the Boudoir" and the other called "The Instructions of Women". "Xi'er, go back to your room and have a good look."
The content recorded in the two booklets is different from the content recorded in the "Women's Rules" and "Women's Commandments" circulating on the market, and it is not to teach people to abide by the rules.
"The Secret of the Boudoir" records all kinds of unfortunate experiences of women, some who ignore family backgrounds, are greedy for wealth and glory, and become concubines in high families, and cannot have a good end. Some who believe in sweet words, elope with others, and are despised by others. Some who are unwilling to be poor, abandon their husbands and children, and are abducted by others. The end of the booklet says that women should respect themselves and be close to each other, and be well-known.
"Women's Commandment" records the secret affairs of wealthy families such as favored wives and concubines, fighting for favors, and fighting for legitimate and illegitimate families. At the end of the booklet, it is said that if a man can not take a concubine and a husband and wife can be in love for a lifetime, it is God's favor and luck. If a man insists on taking a concubine, there is no need to be sad, take back his thoughts, educate the children well, manage housework well, and beware of the concubines.
After reading the booklet, Song Ruoxi sighed and shook his head. The things recorded above were summed up in one sentence. Men’s words were not trustworthy. In fact, whether in modern times or in ancient times, the most reliable person was always himself, not others. If you put your hope on men, you will only get disappointment in the end.
"Miss, it's late at night, it's time to wash and go to bed!" Xiang Xiu came in and urged.
Song Ruoxi rubbed his eyes, "When is it?"
"It's already the hour of Hai." Qinghe walked in with a porcelain basin, "The girl is not sleeping yet, and her eyes will be filled up tomorrow."
"I saw it so late without realizing it." Song Ruoxi covered her mouth and yawned.
The next day, Song Ruoxi sent two booklets back to Mrs. Ji.
Mrs. Ji took the book and put it aside, without asking Song Ruoxi what she felt after reading it. "There is a day after tomorrow Xier is going to go to the Wei Mansion to have a banquet. Are the clothes and jewelry ready?"
"My cousin's wife has prepared for me, a round-neck robe and a water-red silk skirt with bright red embroidered light green branches of magnolia." Song Ruoxi blinked, "I haven't got my head and face yet. Do my grandma have anything good to give me?"
"Little clever." Mrs. Ji smiled, "Go and take out the box."
The box contains a set of red gold magnolia inlaid with beads. Not to mention anything else, the step alone is worth a lot of silver. The hairpin head is a magnolia flower, the petals are made of thin slices of red gold, and the middle of the stamen is a pearl the size of a thumb, surrounded by a slightly smaller pearl. No matter the size of a pearl, the pearl is round and clear, emitting a faint light.
"Thank you grandma." Song Ruoxi smiled.
Two days passed quickly. On the second day of April, Song Ruoxi was dressed neatly and took Xiangxiu Qinghe to the Wei family in a carriage. Sure enough, he saw Ren Wanqiu, who was wearing pink and green embroidered silver leaf dress, and was tender and as tender as a weak willow at the Wei family.
"The little girl has met the county lord, and the county lord has a fortune." After Song Ruoxi met Wei Qingyu, she came to salute Ren Wanqiu again.
Ren Wanqiu reached out to help Song Ruoxi, "Last time I invited my sister to have a gathering in the house for seventh time. I don't want my sister to break the appointment temporarily. Today I will punish you."
"It's wrong for breaking the appointment. I beg you to ask the county lord to have a lot of people." Song Ruoxi said and knelt down, "Give up the little girl."
Ren Wanqiu was weak and weak, and he was not wary of Song Ruoxi kneeling down and failed to support her. When Song Ruoxi knelt, all the speeches in the hall disappeared, everyone's eyes were gathered on the two of them, and some showed sympathy.
Wei Qingyu was also stunned.
"I...I'm just joking. I don't really want to punish you." Ren Wanqiu's eyes turned red in an instant, and he explained in a hurry.
"It turns out that the county lord is joking with the little girl!" A trace of guilt flashed in Song Ruoxi's lower eyes, "It's the little girl who misunderstood. Please don't blame the little girl, the little girl has always been the least courageous."
"I don't blame you, get up quickly!" Ren Wanqiu said anxiously.
"The little girl, County Lord Xie, is magnanimous." With this little episode, Song Ruoxi had reason to avoid Ren Wanqiu, and did not have to be pestered by her and talk about Song Lian's little things, nor did he have to be afraid of accidentally letting go of his mouth.
After lunch, Song Ruoxi immediately said goodbye. Wei Qingyu only thought she had a grudge and did not try to keep her, so she smiled and sent her out.
Ren Wanqiu's eyes were filled with tears. What should she do if she offended his sister? She was unintentional. She was just joking, so she wanted to get closer to each other, but she didn't want to backfire. She sat down for a while in depressed moments, and said goodbye and returned to the princess's mansion.
That night, Ren Wanqiu suffered from a heart attack, and Princess Rongshu was so anxious that she ordered the Imperial Hospital to be invited to the residence for treatment overnight.
"Mr. I'm too worried and I'm so upset." The hospital diagnosed the pulse and gave this answer, prescribed the medicine, and said goodbye and left.
Princess Rongshu had just such a daughter, Ai Ruozhenbao, and asked the maid around Ren Wanqiu. After learning about this, she was amused and crying. After Ren Wanqiu took the medicine and relieved the pain, she said softly: "Qiu'er, you have to punish her if you speak, don't you scare her?"
"I'm joking with her." Ren Wanqiu pouted.
"You are the county lord and have a noble status. She is just the daughter of a fourth-rank official." Princess Rongshu reached out and pulled the broken hair on her forehead behind her ears, "Did you forget what Jiang Yan'er did two years ago? When you say you punished her, she was scared silly. How could you know you were joking?"
Ren Wanqiu was very upset, "I forgot this matter, mom, what should I do now? If he knows that he will misunderstand me, he will hate me."
"If he misunderstood you because of this, and hates you, what use does such a man want him?"
Ren Wanqiu grabbed Princess Rongshu's sleeve and said, "Mom, I will not marry anyone except him."
"I really don't know what pill he gave you. For him, you can even say such shameless words."
Ren Wanqiu's pale face was dyed with two red glows.
Princess Rongshu sighed helplessly and said, "This month is the 27th day of his grandfather's birthday. We will go to the house to have birthday wine. At that time, my mother will say to meet his sister and give her face in front of others, so that he will let go."
Ren Wanqiu turned worries into joy, "Thank you mother!"
"Girls are outgoing!" Princess Rongshu glanced at her.
Song Ruoxi had no idea about the princess's mansion. She was excited about fishing with Ji Chengxuan tomorrow.
It is said that it is a farm, but in fact it is two three-entry yards and four fish ponds. There are all kinds of fish in the four ponds. Ji Chengxuan is happy with fish and he must eat fish every meal. Mrs. Ji once laughed and said that he was reincarnated by a cat.
In addition to Song Ruoxi, there are also Mrs. Ji, Ji Yunli and Song Huai.
"I would like to pay my respects to the old master, to the old lady, to the fourth master, to the young master, to the young master Lian, to the cousin." The head of the village, Lao Yu, led more than a dozen farmers to kowtow and bow.
"Old Yu, get up quickly. Long time no see. I heard that your second boy said he had fallen and injured his leg. Now it's better?" Ji Chengxuan asked with a smile.
"Okay, okay, my little legs are already well. The doctor sent by the old lady is skilled in medical skills. I have been raising it for two months. Thank you for your kindness. My little lady originally planned to send fish to the mansion on the Dragon Boat Festival and then thank you for your great kindness." Old Yu smiled.
"Old Yu, when did you become a loach? You also learn to be so slippery." Mrs. Ji smiled.
"Grandpa Yu, we are here to fish. Please let them help prepare." Ji Yunli was very polite outside.
"Fourth Young Master, you call me a little one like this, but you don't dare to be a little one. Just call me Manager Yu." Old Yu refused in fear and fear.
"They are juniors, so I can afford to call you grandpa." Mrs. Ji smiled.
"Grandpa Yu." Song Ruoxi and Song Huai shouted obediently.
Old Yu smiled honestly, "Young Master and Cousin have not seen each other for many years, and they have grown so tall. If they were outside, the young one would not dare to recognize him."
After chatting for a few moments, the people in the village held up large silk umbrellas by the pond, placed bamboo chairs, took fishing rods, fish food, and table tables were set up beside the chairs, and fruits and refreshments were placed.
Mrs. Ji didn't like fishing, so she sat in the lounge chair under the tree and watched the four of them fishing with a smile.
"Cousin Huai, this time we will compare and see who caught more fish." Ji Yunli raised her chin provocatively.
Song Huai curled his lips and smiled, "We are limited to one hour."
"The timing begins." Ji Yunli threw the fishing rod into the pond.
"Xi'er, we have to compete." Ji Chengxuan was also interested, and the old man talked about the young man's crazy.
Song Ruoxi smiled, "Okay."
"If you lose, don't cry." Ji Chengxuan smiled in a narrow voice.
"Grandpa, don't underestimate me." Song Ruoxi snorted.
Lao Yu had already known that Ji Chengxuan was coming to fish two days ago. This morning, he poured more than 100 kilograms of fish into the pond. Ji Yunli and Song Huai caught two fish of about half a kilogram each and kept them in the large fish tank next to them.
Ji Chengxuan is a fishing expert. In a blink of an eye, she caught five fish. Only Song Ruoxi stared at the fish float, her eyes were sore that she could not move. She grind her teeth with hatred. At Jinglian Temple, she couldn't catch fish, and she couldn't catch fish here.
"Xi'er, you're sure to lose." Ji Chengxuan smiled proudly.
Mrs. Ji shook her head funny and muttered in a low voice: "The older you get, the more you look like a child, and you are more competitive with your granddaughter."
Song Ruoxi saw the three of them catch another fish, and was anxious. He lifted the hook to see it. He found that the bait had been eaten up by the fish at some point. He said angrily: "This fish bullies people! Not only does it not take the hook, but also steals my bait!"
"If Yu'er can bully people, she will become a sperm. It's because Xiaoxier is too stupid and can't fish." Ji Chengxuan laughed.
Mrs. Ji sang: "Old man, don't bully my Xier."
Song Ruoxi pursed his mouth, "Grandma, what should I do if the fish doesn't take the bait?"
"Don't be afraid, grandma will teach you, and you will definitely win the old man." Mrs. Ji came over and pointed at Song Ruoxi, "Xi'er, don't put the bait too much, otherwise you won't notice it after eating all the fish. You must throw the fish line farther so that you can catch a big fish."
Following Mrs. Ji's instructions, Song Ruoxi caught a big grass carp and laughed happily, "Grandpa, I see that this fish is not as heavy as this one, and it can match you three fish."
"Girl, we compare quantity, not specific weight." Ji Chengxuan smiled while stroking his beard, "Even if the specific weight, I will win."
"It's still early, I will definitely beat you." Song Ruoxi said unwillingly.
