Chapter 864: The Prince of the Duke's Mansion vs. the Black Lotus Daughter 6
Mi Xue stared at the young lady carefully. Seeing that she was eating smoothly, she poured a little soup and started eating with rice.
"Miss, please eat more. The tofu is delicious and fresh."
Ji Yunhuan took a bite with a smile on his face, and also picked up a piece for Mi Xue, "It's really good, you try it too."
Yun Ye's spirit was lying on Ji Yunhuan's back, looking very resentful.
[Don't pretend you didn't hear me. Yesterday's meal wasn't that great, but at least there were vegetables and meat, and it was still hot. Why is it like this today? Only the crying child gets the milk. If you don't fight or compete like this, all the servants in the mansion will bully you! ]
[That's good. Mi Xue must have helped in the kitchen this morning, otherwise the food would have been bad. I spent money yesterday to get a good meal. I'm still sick, so Mi Xue must want to give me a good meal. Our money must have run out, so Mi Xue is being frugal.]
[I’m sorry, but I can’t do anything about it. Please bear with it. If you don’t eat, you will not be able to endure it.]
The master and servant finished eating quickly. Mi Xue cleared the dishes and said briskly, "Wang Gui in the kitchen promised me that after the main courtyard has finished eating and has moved down, he will leave a portion for me so that the young lady can eat meat tonight. More nourishment will help her recover faster."
Ji Yun laughed, "Mi Xue is the one who has the solution. Bring me the sewing basket. I have nothing to do sitting here, so I can embroider to kill time."
The sunlight came in from the window. Mi Xue was busy in the yard. Ji Yun Huan was embroidering a longevity picture. Her embroidery skills were good. It would take her at least a month to embroider such a picture. After selling it, she could make a lot of money, enough for her and Mi Xue to live.
Yun Ye felt his eyes sore, his back ached, and his hands trembled. He didn't know how this woman could embroider so delicately stitch by stitch.
[Why don't you know how to resist? You are also a lady from a mansion, and your life is worse than that of ordinary farm girls. You are beaten and scolded at every turn, but you are still calm. Can't you be a little tougher? ]
Ji Yunhuan rubbed her eyes, temporarily put down her embroidery and looked into the distance to relax her eyes. Making money was one thing, but she didn't want to become blind.
[The Immortal knows everything, so why not teach me how to resist? ]
[This is not a simple matter. For example, the prince of the Duke's Mansion was wronged by his father, so he ran away from home and went to Yumei Garden. He was away from home for half a month. The Duke became anxious and refused to apologize on the surface, but secretly gave him a lot of farms and shops, and even found him a position in the patrol camp. Only then did the prince agree to return home.]
[Another example is Chu Feiyi, who was a playboy by nature and ruined several marriages. Ning Yuanhou was so angry that he wanted to use family law to deal with the matter. He brought it to the old lady, but it still ended in vain...]
Ji Yunhuan smiled bitterly, picked up the needle and thread and continued embroidering.
[The immortals only saw men, and they were men who were loved and valued by their families. If I were a man, I would have left home long ago, even if it meant separating from the family to start my own business and doing hard labor. People have two hands, so why should they be afraid of starving to death?]
[But I am a woman. I cannot survive without my family. Death is the lightest punishment. If I am kidnapped and sold, I will be helpless.]
[At home, obey your father; after marriage, obey your husband; after your husband dies, obey your son. This is how a woman's life is. I don't have any other hopes. I just look forward to getting married one day. Even if the family background is not very good, as long as I marry her in a formal way, there is still a way to survive.]
Yun Ye was so blocked that he was speechless. He scratched his head and thought for a long time, but could not think of any solution. He became unusually quiet.
Ji Yunhuan took care of herself for seven or eight days. She didn't eat well or sleep well, but she managed to embroider the longevity picture. She took it out and exchanged it for some silver. She was able to make a living at last.
Yun Ye finally ate hot meat. It was not the leftovers, but the stir-fried meat that had just come out of the pot.
It was the first time he realized that ordinary pork could be so delicious. It was so fragrant that he could swallow his tongue.
[Hey hey hey! Why don’t you eat anymore? You think it’s delicious too, right? There’s still half a plate left! ]
Yun Ye felt like he was drooling. Even though he had turned into a ghost, he still felt sleepy, hungry, and tired. All his feelings came from this woman. It was obvious that this woman was also very greedy!
Ji Yunhuan pressed the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief and put down the empty bowl. "I'm done eating, Qiaoyue, you can take it."
Only then did Qiao Yue pick up her chopsticks and eat the stir-fried pork, even mixing it with the soup and rice.
Qiao Yue carried the lunch box to the kitchen. She would always help the maids in the kitchen to wash the dishes, so that every time she came to get the meal, at least she would not return empty-handed, even if she could only eat some of the food the maids ate.
As soon as Qiao Yue left, Nanny Yan came and asked Ji Yunhuan to go to the main courtyard.
The wound on Ji Yunhuan's back had already scabbed over. It was fine if he didn't move, but it was burning painful if he moved, but it was still bearable.
She didn't dare to delay, so she changed her clothes and went.
Mrs. Xu smiled and called Ji Yunhuan over. "Good boy, have you eaten yet? Come here and let mother see you. You look much better. Why are you dressed so simply? You must be reluctant to wear the new clothes I gave you yesterday, right? This child is thrifty and knows how to live."
Ji Yunhuan didn't know what Xu was going to do, so she could only act along, "We've finished eating, your daughter will serve you."
"Okay, okay! It seems that the master still needs to discipline her. After this teaching, Yun Huan will be much more sensible. When she gets married, takes care of her husband and children, and is filial to her parents-in-law, I will feel relieved."
Xu enjoyed Ji Yunhuan's service and spent another cup of tea before having the table cleared.
The servants brought tea. Ji Changmao and Xu sat in the main seats. Ji Yunhuan could finally sit down and relax his sore waist and burning back.
Ji Changmao showed a rare look of satisfaction, "You are well behaved today. You should be more sensible in the future and don't cause trouble for your mother."
Mrs. Xu smiled and said, "Your father has found a good match for you. It's with a student under his tutelage who has passed the imperial examination and will be able to take the imperial examination this year. Your mother has also picked one for you. He is really a promising young man with good looks and knowledge."
"Although you are not an official yet, as long as you pass the imperial examination, you will have a bright future. People admire the Ji family's scholarly background and don't mind you being a concubine's daughter. They are willing to marry you. This is a great thing."
Ji Yunhuan's heart sank little by little.
My father didn't have many disciples. Some of them said they became my father's disciples, but in fact they did so out of respect for the Xu family, hoping that the Xu family would help them when they became officials in the future.
Zhao Wenyuan is nearly 30 years old. He married early in his life and had a son and a daughter who were raised in the countryside. It is said that his original wife has died of illness, and no one knows whether the illness is real or not.
This person has bad character, is selfish and vicious, and his eyes are full of calculation. Ji Yunhuan happened to meet him once at a family dinner and disliked him very much!
Zhao Wenyuan is definitely not a good match, but he gets along very well with Ji Changmao and is highly valued by him. It can be seen that they are a bunch of snakes and rats, and neither of them is a good person!
