Nine-fold lotus of the famous family

Chapter 457 Reconciliation as before, aunt and nephew reminiscing about the old days (2)
Ji Chonglian smiled and carried Sister Shuang to the old lady Ji. Sister Shuang still didn't forget to look for Brother Zhi in the old lady's arms. It wasn't until Ji Youlan put Brother Zhi on the Arhat bed that she returned laughed.

"Brother Zhi and Sister Shuang have such a good relationship, it's rare!"

Seeing the two children getting along so harmoniously, Mrs. Ji felt happy in her heart. The only regret was that Ji Furong didn't have a baby. Otherwise, wouldn't it be more lively for the three children to gather together?
Ji Minghui looked around, and seeing that Ji Haitang was missing, she couldn't help but wonder, "I heard that the second aunt has returned to her mother's house, why is there no one?"

Aunt Zeng pursed her lips, "The second aunt is very precious now, if the eldest aunt wants to see her, I'm afraid I have to wait until she recovers!"

"Anything like that?"

Ji Minghui couldn't help but shook his head with a smile, and then Yao Shi took a look at Aunt Zeng, "You are the only one who talks too much, so be careful not to spoil the child!"

Aunt Zeng shrugged innocently, "My concubine is telling the truth!"

Ji Youlan tugged at Aunt Zeng's sleeve, lowered her voice and said, "Auntie, please don't say a few words!"

Aunt Zeng pouted sullenly, and really didn't say any more.

Ji Mingyao walked up to Ji Minghui, thought for a while and said: "Sister, I didn't spend much time with the old lady in the past. After they returned to Danyang, it was thanks to you for taking care of them. Don't blame me for what I did just now. If it wasn't for this incident Well, I should thank you..."

"Let's sisters don't say thank you, the old lady is also my aunt, and it is my duty to be filial to my aunt!"

Ji Minghui shook his head lightly, and looked Ji Mingyao up and down again, "It's hard to live in Qi's house, otherwise you wouldn't come back to Danyang!"

"Miss!"

Ji Mingyao blushed slightly, and glared at Ji Minghui, "Your mouth is so sincere, it wouldn't be better to say a few words less!"

"Okay, okay, I won't say it."

Ji Minghui laughed twice, and then said sincerely: "We are all so old, we should think more about ourselves, don't waste your whole life on others, do what you want !"

She can do whatever she wants, can she?She has never lived for herself in her life...

Ji Mingyao was slightly startled, but turned her head but fell into deep thought again.

Seeing the two children having fun, Ji Chonglian asked Ji Furong to take care of her for a while, then turned her head and took Ji Minghui's hand and asked, "The eldest aunt hasn't said when Cousin Rou's happy life will be. Our whole family is fine." Go have a wedding drink!"

Ji Minghui nodded with a smile, "It's May 26th, although it's a bit late, but fortunately, Rou'er's dowry was prepared a few years ago, and she is married to the master's subordinates, so she just wants to be busy with her own people." After a while, I’m not ready to make a big deal!”

The old lady Ji raised her head and took a look at Ji Minghui, "How can a woman not take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, anyway, you owe Rou'er, but you have to hold this banquet, or I won't accept it! "

Ji Minghui responded with a smile, "The old lady is right, I will discuss it with our master later."

A group of sisters-in-law, aunts and nephews chatted and laughed all afternoon, and in the evening, the old lady Ji kept Ji Minghui for dinner, and then Ji Chonglian sent him out.

Originally, the old lady Ji wanted to stay Ji Minghui in Ji's old house for one night, but she didn't force her to stay after she learned that she had sent someone to take care of the house next door.

The night is blurred, and the clouds are like fog.

Ji Chonglian and Ji Minghui walked arm in arm under the verandah, the moon's light came in, illuminating half of the corridor, while the other half was still in shadow, as if the road ahead was suddenly divided into two sides.

Ji Chonglian paused slightly, looked sideways at Ji Minghui, feeling a little emotional, "If my aunt doesn't come back to Danyang this time, we don't know when we will see each other again."

"What are you talking about?"

Ji Minghui smiled and shot Ji Chonglian a look, "Now I have figured it out, no matter if you are in Shangjing or Northwest, I will always have a way to see you."

"aunt……"

Ji Chonglian leaned on Ji Minghui's shoulder affectionately, looking at the flickering lights not far away, she always felt that all this was a bit unreal, "I'm not dreaming, am I?"

"dream?"

Ji Minghui laughed, "It's not time to dream yet!"

"Cousin Rou is getting married now, but luckily she won't be far away. My aunt can call her back to accompany you if she misses her..."

Ji Chonglian spoke softly, but suddenly stopped in the middle of speaking, and after a long while, said leisurely: "Auntie, where is second cousin now?"

Ji Minghui was stunned, and turned serious, "What are you asking him for? This kid is just too wild and lacks discipline. I only blame him for being too indulgent to him before, which made him develop such a no-nonsense temper!"

Ji Chonglian pulled Ji Chonglian's shoulders and looked directly at her, "Chonglian, I really don't know how to make up for what he did to you. I apologize to you on his behalf. You blame aunt, it's because aunt didn't understand Teach your son well!"

"What did my aunt say? Of course I don't blame you."

Ji Chonglian hurriedly shook her head, it was Ji Minghui who misunderstood her, "I'm just afraid that cousin Rou will get married at that time... Second cousin doesn't want to see me... What happened back then is over, and I didn't take it to heart."

Only then did Ji Minghui heave a sigh of relief, and patted Ji Chonglian's hand with a smile, "Your uncle sent him to Gansu years ago. It's far away, and it's not easy for him to come back once!"

"Second cousin went to Gansu?"

Changing to Ji Chonglian was surprised this time, she carefully scrutinized Ji Minghui's expression, and seeing that the other party didn't have any worries, she just wondered: "Aunt, second cousin went to Gansu, aren't you worried?"

I still remember that when Shi Yong was going to the Northwest to join the army, Ji Minghui tried to persuade him again and again but failed to stop him, but now he took the initiative to send Shi Qiang out. Has there been such a big change before and after?
Ji Minghui sighed softly, and turned his eyes to the outside of the verandah. The flowers and trees were quiet, and there was no sound. When she looked back after a while, Ji Chonglian had already seen a touch of relief in her eyes. Ji Minghui said: "As your uncle said, it is a demon of mine. If I don't overcome it, it will be the same wherever I go... When the children grow up, they have to practice alone, even if I want to guard them. It's impossible in a lifetime, but if I can still see him, watching him grow from a kitten to a leopard, with the power to protect himself, even if we are gone in the future, I can rest assured..."

Ji Minghui's voice is very soft and light, with a hoarse magnetism, which is especially soothing to Ji Chonglian's ears, like a series of melodies, with ups and downs, gradually sinking into people's hearts.

Ji Chonglian smiled, and took Ji Minghui's hand, "It's best if my aunt thinks this way."

"This kid's temper also needs to be sharpened, otherwise he will never know that there are people outside the world and there is a sky outside the sky under the protection of his family."

Ji Minghui smiled, and walked forward hand in hand with Ji Chonglian, talking about Pei Yan, "The emperor's heart is unpredictable, now that Pei Yan has sacrificed so much for our Ji family, I don't know if the emperor will let it go This pimple..."

Ji Chonglian smiled indifferently and said: "If Ah Yan can't recover and can help me take care of the child at home, wouldn't it be better?"

"You girl, you are heartless!"

Ji Minghui tapped Ji Chonglian's forehead, then lowered his voice and said, "Your uncle said that there are not many people around the emperor now, I think there is still a great chance of Pei Yanqi's recovery, at least Liaodong and Gansu are still there." There are two vacancies that need to be filled! Zhu Guogong is now the head of the country, the emperor will definitely not hand over the army to him again, only young generals like Pei Yan can make great achievements!"

"aunt!"

Ji Chonglian was overjoyed, and looked at Ji Minghui with bright eyes, "Sure enough, our aunt and nephew are connected!"

Maybe it's the habit of reading the mansion newspaper all the year round. The political feeling of the two of them is sharper than that of ordinary women, and they can see problems more thoroughly and grasp the fundamentals!
Zhu Guogong Shi Chongguang certainly played an indelible contribution in supporting the emperor, but Concubine Shi has already entered the main palace as she wished, and the Shi family has power and glory. If she holds military power again, it will be The emperor did not want to see things.

The so-called gains and losses!

I'm afraid Shi Chongguang would know what the emperor meant by taking this move in retrospect. Surrounded by the halo of Zhu Guogong, he might be proud for a while, but he had to use his military power in exchange for it.

If Zhu Guogong can retreat bravely and not compete with the emperor for a while, then the Shi family's foundation may be preserved, but if Zhu Guogong can't figure it out, the emperor also has means to suppress him.

The former King Yan is no longer what it used to be, and everyone is a piece of chess in his hands, where to put it, and what effect it should have, the emperor has a long-term perspective and can be considered thorough!

Ji Minghui raised his chin proudly, "If you hadn't seen this, why do you think your uncle would send Shi Qiang to Gansu?!"

"Liaodong and Gansu... I thought so too, but Ayan might not be sent to Gansu."

Before Ji Chonglian left, the emperor called Pei Yan into the palace again, and the words seemed to have revealed the meaning of this aspect, but right now it is still uncertain.

"It doesn't matter where it is, it's all about guarding the border. If Shi Qiang can be under Pei Yan's command, he can also have a good time."

Ji Minghui didn't care much about this, but when he turned his gaze to Ji Chonglian, he couldn't help but feel pity, "It's just a pain for you. If Pei Yan is released, you and the child will have to stay in Shangjing..."

Ji Chonglian smiled wryly and said, "There is no other way."

The general guards the border, and his wife and children will live in the capital for a long time, which is equivalent to a restraint, and it has been like this in all dynasties.

"You only have Sister Shuang now, but you need to give birth to a son-in-law soon. Why is Sister Shuang one and a half years old and you still have no news about your stomach?"

Ji Minghui clenched Ji Chonglian's hand with some concern. Because the generals on the border could not bring their wives by their side, most of them took concubines outside to take care of their daily life. If the concubine gave birth to the eldest son, it would be very unfavorable to Ji Chonglian .

"Aunt Lao is worried," Ji Chonglian blushed slightly, "I'm afraid I'm pregnant, and I'll find out when I invite a doctor to come and see me tomorrow."
