Nine-fold lotus of the famous family

Chapter 483 Change of Mind, Meet New Neighbors (2)
Ji Chonglian watched from the side and straightened her lips and smiled, "It seems that Jinyu and we are quite satisfied with this marriage."

"That's not true," Mrs. Ye chuckled, "At first it was a bit awkward, but after Yunyang came to our house for a few meals, they gradually chatted together. Fits right together."

Ye Jinyu shook Mrs. Ye's hand resolutely, "Mother, what are you talking about?!"

"This child is still shy. There is nothing to hide in front of your sister. Even this marriage was facilitated by her. Why don't you thank your sister too much!"

Mrs. Ye patted the back of Ye Jinyu's hand, she looked at Ji Chonglian and smiled brightly, showing her white teeth, "My sister won't care about me, as long as I get well, she will be happier than anything else!"

"As long as you know!"

Ji Chonglian smiled and shot Ye Jinyu a look, "Hurry up and give birth to a big fat boy after getting married, so that your Ye family will have a descendant."

Ye Jinyu nodded in response, but her cheeks were already flushed, "If you are pregnant with two at a time like my sister, it will save a lot of trouble."

Mrs. Ye stared at Ji Chonglian's belly, looked again and again, and said cautiously: "Although twins are good, you should pay more attention to your body. If the time comes... you would rather give up the little one to protect the big one, you know?"

Mrs. Ye's words were really thinking of her, Ji Chonglian felt a touch of emotion in her heart, nodded and said: "Madam, don't worry, I will save it."

Of course, it is best for the mother and child to be safe. She can't bear to part with any of her children, especially when she feels the fetal movement of the two children, the feeling of blood connection is particularly strong.

Fortunately, she has already given birth once. Although this time is twins, it is much easier than the first time. Ji Chonglian is confident that she and the children will be safe.

Several people chatted for a while, Ji Minghui came over with Sister Shuang in his arms, Ji Chonglian introduced them to each other, and everyone was very friendly, Ji Chonglian even kept Ye's mother and daughter to have lunch together.

After lunch, Mrs. Ye talked about Dongfang Tou with some sighs, "I used to think that this kid was a promising man, but now he has been transferred to Liaodong as a deputy general. Their Dongfang family can be regarded as successors."

In his words, he was full of emotion about the resignation of Ye Jinyu and Dongfang Tou. If these two people could be together, it would be a true match made in heaven. Unfortunately, everyone has their own destiny. Maybe Ye Jinyu should be matched with the gentle and handsome Zhao Yunyang .

And with Dongfang Tou's family background, it is absolutely impossible for him to enter the Zhuye Mansion.

Ji Chonglian didn't talk to her, she just smiled and chatted with Mrs. Ye about other things, Ji Minghui occasionally added a few words, the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Ye Jinyu got on the kang and had a great time with Sister Shuang. The big and small were equally mischievous, and they laughed endlessly.

Pei Yan brought the Mu family brothers back to the mansion before dinner. During these days, taking advantage of the good weather, Pei Yan took the Mu family brothers out for field training almost every day, running over mountains, crossing bridges and wading water. The two brothers' physique is getting stronger day by day When he looks up, although he is less than four years old, he looks like a five or six-year-old child.

At least Ji Chonglian knew that the Mu family brothers would not tremble when they stood on horseback for an hour. Pei Yan directly called them martial arts prodigy, and also intended to hand over the future Pei family dead soldiers to one of them.

Ji Chonglian was a little worried after hearing this, "If one of them is allowed to manage those dead men, will they become extreme and bloody in character, I don't want them to be like that."

Pei Yan laughed, "How could that be? Dead men are not people without feelings, but they are more loyal, decisive in their actions, and highly skilled in martial arts. Moreover, these people are not so easy to convince the crowd. You have to be the real top ones. You defeated them Only by defeating them can we completely conquer them!"

There was a trace of pride and pride in Pei Yan's words, and Ji Chonglian covered her lips and smiled, "Is this how you conquered them before?"

"of course!"

Pei Yan nodded as a matter of course, "The pinnacle of martial arts is naturally the strong one is king!"

Ji Chonglian covered her lips and laughed, "Could it be that I married a martial idiot?"

Pei Yan didn't care too much, and took Ji Chonglian to sit on his lap, and said with a smile: "Wu Chi can't do that, but without two brushes, how can the people under him be convinced?"

"It's not urgent. Changfeng and Yuanye are still young after all. Wait until they are sensible before you ask their opinion. Don't force it!" Ji Chonglian put his arms around Pei Yan's neck and put his head on his shoulder with a smile superior.

Pei Yan nodded, and hugged Ji Chonglian tighter.

The two faced each other silently, but there was a wordless warmth rippling in their hearts, the years were quiet and the flowers fell silently.

Mrs. Ma rented a small courtyard house in Dongcheng Corner. The yard was not big. The three main rooms, one bright and two dark, belonged to Mrs. Ma, the two wing rooms on the left lived in Jiang Yueyan, and the two rooms on the right were filled with sundries. , a stove room and clean room.

The small layout is not too big, but there is a rent of ten taels of silver a month.

Ma Shi and Jiang Yueyan stayed in the inn carefully for two days after they returned to Shangjing, and moved in after the yard was selected. Fortunately, the owner left some simple furniture, so they didn't have to buy it separately, which saved a lot of money. a sum of money.

Mrs. Ma has also inquired that although the people living in Dongchengjiao are not rich, they are good people after all, and some merchants who sell goods from north to south will rent yards here for a period of time. Generally speaking, it is not complicated, otherwise they would There is no man in the mother and daughter's family, so they have to worry about going out on weekdays.

When I lived in the General's Mansion, there were people waiting for me, and I opened my mouth and clothes to stretch out my hands when I was eating, but now I live in Dongcheng, and I have to do everything myself.

Ma Shi took care of the work on the stove, while Jiang Yueyan was in charge of cleaning and tidying the room and washing clothes.

After working for a period of time, both of them were quite haggard. Looking at the hand again, the jade hand, which was originally like a water onion, had already become rough beyond appearance.

Looking at such hands, Jiang Yueyan wanted to cry, but complained to Mrs. Ma, "Mother, let's go and beg my aunt, I really can't live on like this."

Mrs. Ma was silent and did not speak, and continued to stir fry, and after a while, the smell of rice came from the pot.

"Mom, don't do it again!"

Seeing Mrs. Ma ignoring her, Jiang Yueyan stepped forward and grabbed the spatula, and threw it on the pile of firewood aside as if venting, and said in a hateful voice: "Stir fry, stir fry, what are you frying?! How can these japonica rice compare It's as good as the rouge rice we ate at the General's Mansion!"

Ma Shi picked up the spatula indifferently, rubbed it on the rag on the stove, continued to fry the rice, and picked a piece of lard with a small spoon and put it in the pot, waiting for the aroma of the rice to overflow It filled the whole small kitchen, and she just glanced at Jiang Yueyan, "If you want to go back to the General's Mansion, you have to see if they let you in, I'm afraid we will be kicked out again before you report to your aunt .”

Looking at Jiang Yueyan's still angry and unwilling face, Mrs. Ma pursed her lips, took out two thick porcelain bowls, and filled a bowl full of fried japonica rice for one of them, and put some pickled vegetables in the bowls. Handed it to Jiang Yueyan, "I told you to hold your breath earlier, when will this be? But in November, we will see the outcome in at most two months, let's wait patiently."

Jiang Yueyan bit her lip, but still took the bowl from Mrs. Ma, sat on the threshold of the kitchen and began to eat in small bites. Suddenly, there was a "crack", as if she had bitten a stone, and Jiang Yueyan frowned in pain. , hurriedly "bah", spit out the whole mouthful of rice, looked at Ma Shi with complaints, "Mother, you can buy rouge rice in the future, there are so many pebbles in this round-grained rice, I really can't eat it down."

Mrs. Ma was leaning against the door, fiddling with the rice grains in the bowl carefully, "This round-grained rice costs only five hundred taels of silver a stone, but the rouge rice costs five taels of silver a stone. Do you think we can afford it? And what about the rice, oil and salt?" Don’t want money? If you can save it, just save it temporarily, after you get through it, are you afraid that we will have a bad life?”

Jiang Yueyan held back her mouth in grievance, just at this time someone knocked on the courtyard door, she was only slightly startled, immediately put down the bowl in her hand, and quickly ran to open the door.

Standing outside the door was a slim woman with an oval face, willow-leaf eyebrows, and a pair of extremely charming single phoenix eyes. She was wearing a lilac-colored butterfly and flower-patterned gown, combed a single-snail bun, and stuck a gold-plated phoenix on her head. When she saw Jiang Yueyan opened the door, she couldn't help smiling at her.

"Mrs. Fang!"

Jiang Yueyan smiled and called the woman in front of her. This Mrs. Fang is the neighbor who lives next door. She has a good conversation and a bit of temperament. She has a good personal relationship with her on weekdays. In this place, only Mrs. Fang can talk to her. A few words.

Behind Mrs. Fang was a girl named Xiaoyun in a yellow-green bija. Seeing Jiang Yueyan opened the door, she reluctantly came out from behind Mrs. Fang, holding a lacquer box in her hand.

"Miss Jiang."

Mrs. Fang smiled softly, her eyes were almost dripping water.

Jiang Yueyan glanced up and down, the color of Mrs. Fang's beige is not bad, but if it is made of brocade, it will look wider, but how can the people who live here have so many demands, let alone be like a general? The government invited a tailor to make a tailor-made, at most go to a clothing store to choose a few bright sets, that would be very respectable.

Jiang Yueyan secretly estimated that Mrs. Fang's clothes would cost at least three taels of silver, but they were not as good as any of the clothes Mother Pei had asked her to make when she was in the General's Mansion.

There is no comparison!
"Is Mrs. Fang looking for something?"

Although Jiang Yueyan was talking to the other party's wife, her eyes were aimed at the lacquered box. Although the lid was closed, nothing could hide the smell of fresh pastries. The bowl of polished round-grained rice She only took a few mouthfuls of rice, but at this moment, smelling the aroma of pastries, she couldn't help but secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
