Nine-fold lotus of the famous family

Chapter 436 Visiting the Bo’s Mansion, embarrassing the family (2)
"This girl is really a bad monkey!"

Ji Chonglian shook her head helplessly, but An Ye was very happy, "Sister Shuang can move and dance, which is better than ordinary children. I'm not good at teaching her kung fu to Guiying like Bean Sprout. That child is born It's not suitable for martial arts, it's good to be quiet and gentle."

At this time, Caiqiu was pulling up the curtain and entering the room, and said to Ji Chonglian with a smile, "Ma'am, there is a letter from Danyang!"

Ji Chonglian was overjoyed, and turned to An Ye and said, "Huanzi is pasting paper kites for Sister Shuang in the room, take her down to have a look!"

"Yes."

An Ye responded, turned around and retreated with Sister Shuang in her arms, and Ji Chonglian couldn't wait to open the letter.

After returning to Shangjing, Ji Chonglian sent a letter to Danyang. One letter was to greet everyone, one was written to Hu, and the other was written to Ji Chongyu alone.

Now it's hard to wait for a reply, and it weighs more than one.

Seeing Ji Chonglian's happy face, Caiqiu couldn't help asking: "Ma'am, is it the letter from the fourth wife and the fourth young master?"

Ji Chonglian nodded, she opened the letter and began to read it. Mrs. Ji's eyesight is not good because of her old age, and the fourth wife Hu's errand of writing and reading letters is done by Mrs. Hu. There is only Hu Shi left, and it makes people feel a little sad to think about it.

The third wife, Yao Shi, moved out of Ji's old house with her son, and it was only during the holidays.

Not to mention the eldest wife, who has always lived in the capital with the elder Ji Mingde, and now she is lying on the bed with some unknown illness, maybe she should go to the uncle's side when she has time.

Hu's letter was written on gilt pink wax paper painted with wishful cloud patterns, and there was still a faint scent of sweet-scented osmanthus flowers floating on the paper, and he wrote five large sheets.

Knowing that Ji Chonglian cared most about the old lady Ji, Hu told her the trivial life of the old lady and what she basically did every day. He also said that according to Ji Chonglian's past letters, the food should be as light as possible for the old lady. In the end, I must help the old lady for a walk. There is a gravel road in the back garden, and I walk on it barefoot in summer. The old lady's spirit really improved a lot, and her body is better than when Ji Chonglian left.

Ji Chonglian was crying while watching, Caiqiu hurriedly handed over a silk handkerchief, she touched the corners of her eyes with the handkerchief, and said with a smile: "The old lady is much better now, I am relieved."

Cai Qiu also nodded and said: "This is also my wife's filial piety, and the fourth wife is dedicated."

"Without my stepmother taking care of me, the old lady still doesn't know what to do..."

Ji Chonglian was also a little emotional, Hu Shi is not a few years older than her, and now she is in charge of the whole family, but this body has never been able to conceive, and it doesn't work after seeing so many doctors, and there is no foundation without children, this is a woman The most worrying thing.

Ji Chonglian recalled the pregnancy prescription she asked Ji Furong that day, Ji Furong really asked someone to send it to her afterward, originally it was for Feng Shi, but now she might as well send it to Hu Shi for use, at least it is also a copy hope.

In the letter, Mrs. Hu only briefly mentioned Ji Mingxuan and Aunt Liu, without going into details.

After reading Hu's letter, Ji Chonglian opened the one written by Ji Chongyu.

Because of the turmoil last year and the enthronement of the new emperor, the imperial examination was postponed for one year. Ji Chongyu was still studying in the county school and was preparing to participate in this year's autumn.

Ji Chongyu will be seventeen this year, and Hu also discussed with Ji Chonglian in the letter whether Ji Chongyu is engaged, but Ji Chonglian thinks that his younger brother is still young, and if he can pass the Jinshi exam, it will not be too late to get engaged again.

For this matter, Mrs. Ji also agrees. If you are a Jinshi, and your status is different, then the choice of engagement will be much wider.

After reading the letter from home, Ji Chonglian let out a long sigh of relief. Fortunately, everyone is in good health, and my younger brother is also striving for success. Now that the political situation is stable, if Ji Chongyu is admitted as a Jinshi, he might be able to stay in Shangjing as an official. Their siblings also have a day of reunion.

On the 23rd day of the first lunar month, the Qi family's carriage was already waiting outside the gate of General Zhongyong's mansion. Ji Chonglian originally prepared the carriage, but after thinking about it, she asked the driver to unload the horse and ride in the same carriage with Ji Mingyao. I don't want to be so ostentatious, so that everyone knows that she went to Dongpingbo's mansion once.

Sitting in the carriage, Ji Mingyao was still a little apprehensive, so she couldn't help but take Ji Chonglian's hand and said, "Nuanyu doesn't like me going to the Dongping uncle's mansion right now, but am I not for her? The relationship with the Wei family is so tense now that I Is it okay for her to treat me like that?" Having said this, she began to wipe away her tears again.

Ji Chonglian sighed, and comforted softly: "Auntie, don't be sad, let's talk to Cousin Nuanyu, and she will understand your painstaking efforts."

"I hope she can still listen to your words." Ji Mingyao glanced at Ji Chonglian, her eyes flickering, and her voice gradually became softer, "Her mother-in-law is stubborn, I hope she can be more polite to us for your sake... "

Ji Chonglian didn't hear what Ji Mingyao was muttering behind, but she went through this whole thing anyway, if Bo Dongping's family doesn't get along well, she won't be in touch with her in the future, and she isn't a serious relative of their family, so she doesn't want to put a hot face on a cold bench.

When we arrived at Dongping Bo's Mansion, Ji Mingyao asked someone to hand over the post, but the concierge seemed a little unhappy, and put their carriage in after a while, but there were still a few complaints in his mouth, as for what exactly he was talking about, Ji Chonglian didn't hear clearly , only looked at Ji Mingyao in surprise.

Ji Mingyao twitched the corners of her lips, and said with an embarrassing smile: "It's because I have come here too many times, and every time I have a bad fight with Mrs. Dongping, that's why their house is like this..."

After getting off the carriage at the second gate, there was a woman standing there waiting for them. Seeing Ji Mingyao and Ji Chonglian coming hand in hand, she bowed unhurriedly and said, "It's not a coincidence for my wife to come. Offer incense and pray for blessings in the temple!"

"what?!"

Ji Mingyao's eyes widened in surprise, her face flushed instantly, "I posted the post, how could she..."

The woman didn't explain anything, but said with a blank expression: "Since my wife is here to see our second wife, go on your own, it doesn't matter whether our old lady is here or not." Then she went straight to Ji Chonglian After a salute, "Mrs. Pei, if you don't greet well, I won't accompany you less."

"Mom, go get busy. We'll go to see our cousin."

Ji Chonglian smiled faintly, her bearing was graceful, her manners were appropriate, she was not at all displeased, it was completely different from Ji Mingyao's flushed and angry face next to her, the woman nodded secretly and led them into the inner courtyard After that, he retreated.

As soon as the woman walked away, Ji Mingyao's eyes burst into flames, and she gritted her teeth and said, "What kind of family is this? Why are they so unruly? Why did I fall in love with their family in the first place? Did Yu get married?!"

"Don't be angry, aunt. Since Mrs. Dongping is not here, let's go and see that cousin Nuanyu is the same."

Ji Chonglian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Ji Mingyao was so difficult, it would be wise for Mrs. Dongping to avoid her in advance. If they could persuade Qi Nuanyu to change her mind first, then it would be easier for her to talk to Mrs. Dongping.

Ji Mingyao could only nod her head, but her indignation couldn't be calmed down. She glanced at Ji Chonglian and said unwillingly: "It's all right if she neglects me, but how can I neglect you? I wrote it clearly in the post... ..."

Ji Chonglian didn't answer, just smiled and held the corner of her lips.

Ji Mingyao felt very discouraged, as if she would not be moved by how much she instigated this niece, her demeanor was calmer than those old ladies who had been through the years, she really underestimated her at the beginning.

Ji Mingyao came to Dongping Bo's mansion more than once, and naturally took Ji Chonglian to find Qi Nuanyu's garden with ease, but it was not too late, but the garden was quiet.

Not only Ji Chonglian and Ji Mingyao were a little surprised, but even the maids behind them all stared wide-eyed.

If it is said that the men are withered, they still believe in the Dongping uncle's mansion as before, but there shouldn't be no one guarding them at this time, the empty garden is quiet, but looking at the layout of the garden is not bleak, thinking about it on weekdays There are still people tidying up.

"What the hell is Nuanyu doing?"

Ji Mingyao also had doubts in his heart, "I come here on weekdays, and there are people guarding the gate of the garden, did you know we're here today, and send people away on purpose?"

Ji Chonglian paused, and pondered: "Let's go in and have a look."

The courtyard where Qi Nuanyu lives is not small. There are three main rooms, two side rooms on each side, two side rooms on the left and two side rooms, and a row of five inverted rooms at the back. The layout of the entire courtyard is clear, where is the main room? It is clear at a glance.

At this moment, the door of the main room was ajar, and there was still no maid guarding it. Ji Mingyao pushed open the door suspiciously, and Ji Chonglian followed her in quietly.

The two of them had just turned around the eight-treasure glazed screen with a chicken wing wood base in Dongcijian, when they heard a woman's coquettish laughter and panting from inside, accompanied by a burst of intimate flirting, "I hate it, you just know how to make me happy! "

Hearing the soft and sweet voice, Ji Chonglian and Ji Mingyao looked at each other with disbelief in their eyes.

The voice was indeed Qi Nuanyu's, Ji Chonglian only had some impressions, but how could Ji Mingyao not remember? !

"Fourth aunt..."

Ji Chonglian also felt very embarrassed, just about to hold Ji Mingyao's hand and the two of them retreated quietly, but Ji Mingyao was already furious, and swept in like a whirlwind, stretched out his hand and opened the curtain of the inner room, shouting: "Look Good job you guys did!"

Ji Chonglian stroked her forehead and sighed, winked at Liuli behind her, and asked her to hold Ji Mingyao's maid to guard the door together. Such a scene should not be seen by others, and then she followed into the inner room.
