Nine-fold lotus of the famous family

Chapter 444 Price Exchange, Pei's Going to Beijing (2)
However, Ji Chonglian took this opportunity to sell some of these servants who were used to being obedient and eye-catching. Although the remaining people were simple, they were real, and the entire general's mansion suddenly became much quieter.

The Pei couple brought a pair of children to General Zhongyong's mansion on February [-]th. When the servants passed the news to the inner courtyard, Ji Chonglian and Pei Yan greeted them personally.

Mrs. Pei wore a pair of deep purple and multicolored embroidered embroidered pink pleated skirts, revealing a section of embroidered pleated skirt with rolled edges. The beauties who come out of it are like ordinary people.

Pei's husband, Ji Ning, stood behind her. He was a little thin, but he had the unique elegance of a scholar. He was wrapped in a green bamboo robe, which was simple and elegant.

Standing next to Mrs. Pei were two jade-carved children, a boy and a girl. Ji Leming should be about nine years old this year, and Ji Leqing is seven years old. The two children looked at Pei Yan and Ji Chonglian without blinking their big eyes. .

Pei smiled and said to the two children, "I haven't seen your uncle and aunt yet."

Ji Leming obediently stepped forward to salute, but Ji Leqing jumped at Pei Yan with a roll of her eyes, and said with a smile: "Uncle, the pony you gave me has grown so big now, I can ride it!"

"Good boy!"

Pei Yan embraced Ji Leqing with one arm, nodded and smiled, "Miss Qing is really capable!"

Ji Chonglian rubbed Ji Leqing's forehead hair, and then took Ji Leming's little hand. The child was still a little shy, and Ji Chonglian wanted to take the hand he was holding, and his whole face turned slightly red.

"Meet my sister and brother-in-law!"

Ji Chonglian saluted the Pei couple with a smile, and then looked at Ji Leming, "This child is still so shy!" It was no different from a few years ago, but Ji Leqing was always cheerful and lively, and she was lovable wherever she went.

"Sister, brother-in-law!"

Pei Yan came over with Ji Leqing in her arms, and greeted the Pei couple with a smile.

Several people exchanged greetings and walked in, and all the maids and women who met along the way stood sideways to salute and say hello, calm and orderly in their busy schedule.

Seeing this, Mrs. Pei couldn't help but nodded secretly, which showed that Ji Chonglian managed the family well, and no matter whether the servants were arrogant or tricky, they would not dare to deceive the master.

After several people sat down in the main hall, Pei's eyes turned around, and he looked at Ji Chonglian with a smile, "Why haven't I seen Sister Shuang, I can't wait to see my niece."

Ji Chonglian said with a smile: "Sister Shuang was drinking porridge just now, and I'm afraid she's finished eating now. I'll have someone bring her here. It's time to see her aunt and uncle, as well as her cousin and cousin." Liuli beside him gave an order.

After Caiqiu came up with her maid to serve tea and snacks, she bowed her head and stood behind Ji Chonglian.

Ji Leqing was still lazy in Pei Yan's arms and refused to come down, Ji Ning waved to her, the little girl pursed her lips and turned her head to the side, unexpectedly ignoring her father.

Mrs. Pei snorted softly, and her face darkened, "Miss Qing, why are you so unruly, just rely on your uncle just now, now sit down and go back to your own seat!"

Ji Leqing was a little afraid of Pei's words, so she slipped off Pei Yan's body and walked behind Ji Ning silently. Ji Ning held her little hand for a while to coax her, and the little girl sat down next to her .

Pei Yan looked at it and couldn't help laughing: "Sister, you still can control the child. Brother-in-law looks like a person who loves the child, and he is reluctant to beat and scold him at all!"

Mrs. Pei glanced at Ji Ning, her eyes were full of tenderness, "Your brother-in-law is a little soft-tempered, and Sister Qing is a quick-tempered one, if I let her go, this girl will become lawless!"

Ji Chonglian followed up and said: "I see Brother Ming is a polite and sensible man, is he enlightened?"

Mrs. Pei looked at Ji Leming lovingly, "His father taught him two years ago, but he has read a few books in the past two years, so let's talk about it after reading it, as parents, we don't force it."

It seems that Pei's thinking is very open-minded, Ji Leqing has to be restrained if he has a temper, Ji Leming already knows the rules and etiquette, so he can grow straight without special teaching, just let him develop without forcing.

Pei's approach is rare in this era.

Ji Ning looked at Pei Yan and Ji Chonglian with a smile, "Your sister is the only one in charge of our family, she can do whatever she says, and I'm happy to be a farmer!"

At the beginning, Ji Ning never thought of competing with the second wife of the Ji family for the position of patriarch. After the old patriarch passed away, the seventh house moved out of the old house, and now they live in the village, raising flowers and planting grass in their free time. , that is also a kind of wild interest.

Pei Yan looked at Ji Ning, and suddenly thought about it, and said: "Brother-in-law, you were also admitted as a scholar back then, and now the emperor's new policy, in addition to delaying the imperial examination to this year, there will be another Enke next year, if brother-in-law is interested, Might as well give it a try!"

Ji Ning was startled, but subconsciously glanced at Mrs. Pei, but Mrs. Pei gave him a gentle smile, "Don't look at me, you can do whatever you want, I'm your wife, I will definitely support your decision !"

There were many reasons why the Pei family didn't want Ji Ning to become an official. The most important one was because of the changes in the Pei family, which made them feel a little chilled about the former emperor.

But now the emperor's new policy, even Pei Yan has become a second-rank official, if Ji Ning really wants to become an official, Pei will not stop him, her husband and younger brother have both civil and military skills, and they will have someone to help them in the future no.

"This……"

Ji Ning was a little undecided for a while, so he said, "Let me think about it."

It is the ultimate dream of the students to become an official through the imperial examination. He had also pursued and longed for this in the past, but he was entangled in all kinds of things, and his heart for fame and fortune was not serious, so he let go of it for a while.

But with such an opportunity in front of him today, Ji Ning hesitated for a while whether he wanted to pick up his books again.

Ji Leqing on the side tugged at Ji Ning's sleeves, and said in a low voice: "Daddy, you should take the exam for an official, lest the second aunt always be arrogant in front of us... I really can't bear it!"

"You child, don't talk nonsense!"

Ji Ning glanced at Ji Leqing reproachfully. He loved this daughter since he was a child, and he didn't want to say anything serious after all.

"It was!"

Ji Leqing pouted and continued: "Third sister's husband-in-law heard that he passed the Juren examination last time, and he has not yet won a Jinshi. The second aunt is so proud. This time, Dad will also win in one fell swoop. We will The second aunt's arrogance is suppressed!"

Ji Ning shook his head helplessly, but Mrs. Pei raised the corners of her lips, "Sister Qing, you are right. If the second sister-in-law really becomes the official's mother-in-law, I don't know how to squint at her from now on. people!"

When Ji Chonglian heard this, her mind changed, she looked at Mrs. Pei, and asked, "Sister, is it possible that Qing's third sister is Ji Yue'e?"

Mrs. Pei nodded and said: "It's not her. The young couple lived in Shangjing a few years ago, but they are in Dongcheng, far away from here. Mr. Jun is indeed a bit talented, but the last imperial examination was still a bit late. If he failed to win the Jinshi, I'm afraid he will still have to take part in this year's imperial examination."

Ji Chonglian suddenly remembered that Su Xiaowan once said that Ji Yue'e and Ji Ziwei seem to have some contacts, maybe they have already caught up with the Qin family's line, if these two get together, it will not be a good thing, so she doesn't want to get involved at all , and turned a blind eye to Ji Ziwei's overtures.

No matter whether the Qin family is good or bad, it has nothing to do with their Pei family.

Ji Leming kept his head down thinking about things, and then he raised his head and said: "Father, mother, sister, don't worry, if daddy doesn't take the imperial examination, there will be me in the future. As long as I pass the exam, I will definitely not let the second aunt bully us !"

After saying this, Ji Leming's face flushed red again, but his eyes were shining brightly and shining with determination.

"Good boy!"

Pei sighed, with a gratified light in his eyes, he pulled Ji Leming into his arms and patted him gently.

But Ji Leqing bounced over and pulled Ji Leming's hand, stretched out her little finger to tick him off, "Brother must keep his word, our family will definitely be stronger than Second Aunt's family in the future!"

"Well, brother means what he says!"

Ji Leming and Ji Leqing ticked off and stamped their fingerprints, and nodded their heads firmly.

"Look at these two kids, I can't do it unless I work hard!"

Ji Ning shook his head with a smile, looked at Pei Yan again, and asked cautiously: "We have heard a lot of things along the way, is Ah Yan resigned from his official position now?"

Pei Yan and Ji Chonglian looked at each other, and then smiled indifferently: "It's fine to take it off temporarily, I have worked hard for half a year in this battle, now I have time to spend with my wife and children, otherwise Lian'er will complain Me." She said and winked at Ji Chonglian.

But Ji Chonglian stood up, bowed to Pei Shifu, and said seriously: "I want to accuse my sister of this matter, if it wasn't for our Ji family, my husband wouldn't be like this..." The words were still Containing a trace of guilt and sadness.

It's one thing for Pei Yan to recover in the future, but he can't ignore his dedication just because of this, Ji Chonglian will keep this in mind.

However, Mrs. Pei stepped forward to help Ji Chonglian, and patted the back of her hand in relief, "This is a matter between you two, what crime are you accusing me of? Besides, your husband and wife can respect and love each other and share weal and woe. It's too late for me to be happy, so don't take it to heart!"

Ji Chonglian's eyes were already blushing, and now she burst into laughter after hearing Pei's words.

Huanzi brought Sister Shuang over again, and the Pei couple went to Sister Shuang to make fun of her, and Ji Leqing even clamored to hug her little cousin!
Taking advantage of the situation, Pei Yan came over and grabbed Ji Chonglian's shoulders, and gave her a reproachful look, "I told you not to mention this earlier, if I mention it again, I will really lose my face!"

"Yes, I understand."

Ji Chonglian responded with a smile, only to feel a sweet sourness gradually filling her heart.
