Nine-fold lotus of the famous family

Chapter 331 Danyang visits relatives and departs for the northwest (1)
In February, Ji Chonglian finally received a letter from Pei Yan. There was one letter from each of them. Pei's mother shared with her. The two of them read the letter in their own rooms, so their moods were naturally different.

In the letter, Pei Yan mentioned that he has had someone renovate the house, but the interior decoration is waiting for her to make up her mind. After all, it is their home in the northwest, and she, the mistress, has to decorate it herself. feel warm.

After Ji Chonglian read the letter, she naturally felt sweet in her heart, and a maid came to report that it was Mother Pei who invited her over.

Ji Chonglian straightened her expression, and took a look at the lotus-colored embroidered aquarium-patterned beanie she was wearing today. Her hair was also neatly combed, so she didn't need to change it again, so she took Caiqiu and An Ye to Pei's mother's room. Go to the room.

Perhaps because of some changes during this period, Mother Pei looked haggard and older, and Zheng Wanyi, who had been by her side for so many years, turned against Pei and Ma's family like this, and now she is nowhere to be seen.

Mother Pei was also worried, whether this Zheng Wanyi couldn't figure it out and turned around and bit her. The people who were closest to you often hurt you the most, everyone knows this truth.

Ji Chonglian bowed to Pei's mother and sat down. She saw that Pei's mother was still holding a cowhide envelope in her hand, but the expression on her face was unclear.

After a while, Mother Pei let out a long sigh, and turned her eyes to Ji Chonglian lightly, "Do you know what A Yan said in the letter?"

Ji Chonglian smiled, "What is mother talking about?"

"Let's not pretend to be ignorant. If you don't want to be with me, an old woman, just say so. Why use your heir as an excuse?!"

Pei's mother glanced at Ji Chonglian dissatisfied, "A Yan kept saying in the letter that you and your husband live apart, if you have no offspring, it would be unfilial, and he is so dangerous in the borderlands, if it is true... There is really something wrong, Our Pei family is about to die."

Ji Chonglian smiled in her heart. Pei Yan originally talked about children, but it is indeed reasonable. The husband and wife separated after only two months of marriage. There is no chance to have children to spread incense. Which family does not regard children as the biggest priority? Mother Pei Presumably also understand this truth.

Ji Chonglian lowered her gaze and did not speak. It is not easy for her mother to argue with her mother-in-law about this, but Pei Yan's meaning is already clear, so it depends on what mother Pei says.

Mother Pei seemed a little angry, but after she got angry, she thought about it carefully, and finally turned that corner, but she still felt a little unhappy.

She has always been strong by nature. After the accident happened to the Pei family, relatives and friends were scattered, and no one was willing to get involved in this muddy water. She gritted her teeth and brought up the two children, but none of them were close to her and it was not worrying.

Mother Pei sighed. After working so hard for so long, she still couldn't match Ji Chonglian's public lecture. The daughter-in-law got up, but her status went down. How could she not be unwilling?
Now that Zheng Wanyi is gone, only Ji Chonglian is with her in the huge house. Although this daughter-in-law was not chosen by her, and she doesn't like it very much, but after being together for a long time, there is still a trace of reluctance in her heart, like someone who can be with her every day. She was right, and those days were much more interesting.

"That's all."

Mother Pei waved her hands wearily, and sighed: "Since A Yan also wrote, I can't keep you, otherwise he will always blame me in his heart."

Mother Pei knew that the relationship between herself and her son was not harmonious at all, and if she didn't go according to his wishes now, she was afraid that mother and son would really be separated, and then she would lose more than she gained.

The heir is the eldest, and Pei Yan is a single biography. If there is an eventuality in the northwest, but no heir is left behind, it will become her lifelong regret!

Ji Chonglian nodded, but she felt extremely comfortable in her heart. Can her elbows be able to twist her thighs? Pei Yan must know that Pei's mother will only eat one thing, so she doesn't worry about her coming to the northwest, because he expected Pei's mother He will definitely let him go.

Mother Pei fiddled with the rosary beads in her hand slowly. After a slight pause, she looked up again, "How are you doing with the matter of buying the land for the Ma family?"

"Today I also want to talk to my mother about this."

Ji Chonglian nodded to Caiqiu, and she immediately brought the tray she had prepared to Mother Pei. Inside the tray were a few white papers printed with ink, and vaguely stamped with red seals, which were obviously part of the contract. Mother Pei couldn't help raising her eyebrows and looked at Ji Chonglian, only to hear her say: "The daughter-in-law bought 800 acres of land in Wulipo, the eastern suburb of Pengze County, and [-] acres of good paddy fields. It cost four taels of silver, two hundred mu of forest land next to the paddy field on the slope, two taels of silver per mu, and a total of [-] taels of silver, now that the land deeds have been completed, please let my mother have a look."

Mother Pei pursed her lips, took out the land deeds from the tray calmly, and looked at them one by one, then glanced at Ji Chonglian, and said slightly: "You move quickly, I'm afraid you already knew you were going to the northwest! "

Although Mother Pei's words had a sour taste, she was still sure of Ji Chonglian's ability to handle affairs. This daughter-in-law can be regarded as capable at the moment, she is shrewd and capable, and the housekeeper is also a good hand. If she really leaves, she still has some points Worry about it.

Ji Chonglian smiled lightly, but lowered her eyes slightly.

Mother Pei naturally knew that she had guessed right, so she couldn't help snorting, "When are you going to leave?"

"Big sister is getting married, I'm going to go back to Danyang to have a look, and then accompany the old lady, and then go to the northwest."

Ji Chonglian saw that Mother Pei's face seemed unhappy, and continued: "After I leave, mother doesn't have to worry about the family affairs, Lin Mei will continue to help the housekeeper, and I will tell her all the affairs, and let her pay the bill every month I have shown it to my mother, if there are important matters that cannot be decided, the family still needs the mother to make decisions."

Hearing what Ji Chonglian said, Mother Pei was temporarily relieved. She had ignored the common affairs for so many years, and Zheng Wanyi was not around, so she didn't want to take over. Now that Ji Chonglian can train a maid to help, she is naturally happy.

Mother Pei has seen all of Ji Chonglian's maids, except for the two young ones who escaped a little bit, Caiqiu and Lin Mei are very stable, and they are very courteous in dealing with others. From this point of view, Ji's servants are still Very well mannered.

"You're thoughtful, so go about it."

Mother Pei nodded lightly. Although there was a little relaxation in her heart, it was still impossible to express it on her face. This made the daughter-in-law feel secretly happy that she had done something, which was what she didn't want to see.

It is said that a new daughter-in-law is like a child, and she has to be taught to be sensible, but Mother Pei doesn't think so. Since she is the daughter-in-law of the Pei family, she has to take care of everything so that she, an old man, has no worries and can enjoy leisure That's right.

After leaving the upper room, Ji Chonglian really breathed a sigh of relief, she looked up at the sky, today the wind is light and the clouds are calm, the blue sky seems to have been wiped by someone, revealing a clear and pure blue, and Her heart seemed to have grown wings, and she was about to fly to the northwest sky!
