Nine-fold lotus of the famous family

Chapter 527 Family happiness, Pei's farewell (2)
"I'm in good health, nothing can go wrong."

Su Xiaowan smiled and pulled Ji Chonglian to sit down, waved back and left, and asked excitedly and mysteriously: "How? Did you see anyone? Is he Shi Yong?"

Ji Chonglian's face froze, but she slowly shook her head and sighed: "It can only be said that they are similar, he is not my big cousin."

"Really not?"

Su Xiaowan looked regretful, "But he looks so similar, I thought..."

"Let's stop this matter like this. He has a family and a wife and children in Xiliang. I don't want our random speculation to affect his normal life. Besides, even if he looks so similar to my big cousin For the sake of this, I also hope that their family can be happy forever!"

Ji Chonglian patted the back of Su Xiaowan's hand, although she felt a little guilty in her heart, she was determined not to reveal this secret.

Su Xiaowan nodded, "It's best if you can see."

"I also want to thank Sister Su for going back and forth for this matter."

Ji Chonglian thanked Su Xiaowan with a smile, but she laughed and said, "If you really want to thank me, I'll ask your lord to bring some good things from Gansu later, so we can have a taste too!"

Ji Chonglian responded with a smile, and the two chatted for a while, Su Xiaowan didn't dare to go out for a long time for fear that her family would miss her, so she got up and said goodbye.

Your Majesty is diligent in administration. It is only halfway through May, and the appointment of a new batch of Scholars has come down.

Ji Ning was released as a magistrate in Yuyao. It is located in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, which is considered to be closer to his hometown. The Pei family can save even buying a house. It's okay to live in Ji Ning's office.

Unsurprisingly, Ji Chongyu successfully passed the Shu Jishi exam, but because of the empress incident, Ji Chonglian had repeatedly warned him to keep a low profile in everything and not to attract the attention of others.

Even the wives who wanted to be matchmakers for Ji Chongyu were pushed back one by one by Ji Chonglian. In order to prove what she said to the queen that Ji Chongyu was not suitable for early marriage, these must be done.

Ji Chongyu could understand Ji Chonglian's actions, and he was grateful in his heart, and said: "I didn't want to have any connection with the royal family. That's right, we'd better be more cautious, but the Queen's side..." Looking at Ji Chonglian worriedly, "My sister just wiped the face of the Queen, will she make things difficult for you?"

"You don't have to worry about that."

Ji Chonglian shook her head with a smile, "As long as your brother-in-law's position is stable, the Empress will not touch me. Besides, we used to have some friendship in Liangcheng, but this time it's just..." She sighed and shook her head, and then Patted Ji Chongyu's shoulder, "I'm afraid my sister will delay your marriage."

Ji Chongyu shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm not very old, it's normal to get married a few years later, my sister did this for my own good, I understand."

Ji Chonglian could only nod with a smile, and felt relieved that Ji Chongyu's governor was sensible, open-minded and transparent. It is wise to not be entangled in immediate interests, but to take a long-term view.

Yuyao's appointment deadline is very tight. After receiving the appointment letter, Mrs. Pei began to pack her luggage and was expected to leave in three days.

Naturally, Ji Chonglian also helped prepare some items, because they were afraid that they were missing something in Yuyao, and there was no one to take care of them.

The day before leaving, Mrs. Pei brought her two children over to bid farewell to Ji Chonglian solemnly.

Ji Chonglian asked Liuli to make some delicious snacks, and invited the two children to sit in the flower hall next door, and then took Pei's hand into the inner room.

On the yellow rosewood round table in the inner room was a black box carved with twine patterns and painted with gold lacquer. Ji Chonglian picked it up and handed it to Mrs. Pei, "Sister and brother-in-law are leaving Shangjing, and I don't have anything to prepare for. These sisters are kept in case they are needed.”

Mrs. Pei glanced at Ji Chonglian, reached out to open the black box, and saw a stack of banknotes inside, she flipped through it casually, and found that they were all worth a hundred taels of silver, she couldn't help but wondered: "Why are there so many banknotes? No , I can't accept it!"

Ji Chonglian smiled and pulled Pei Shi to sit down, "On weekdays, Ayan would also give me some household, as well as the business in the shop, and I slowly saved up. What I gave to my sister was only part, not all, so you can rest assured. Here it is!"

"No, even if this is Yicheng, you have given too much!"

Mrs. Pei took off the lid, pushed the black box back in front of Ji Chonglian, and said earnestly, "A Yan is not by your side right now, and you have to take care of three children by yourself. It would be good to have more money by your side."

Ji Chonglian covered her lips and smiled, a touch of emotion flashed across her eyes, "Sister, don't worry, I will keep the children's portion well, and the money is for you." Seeing that Mrs. Pei was about to refuse again, she quickly waved her hand and said: " Elder sister, listen to me first. We don’t know what the place in Yuyao is like. My brother-in-law is a new official. In the past, there were too many places to manage. I have to pay for it out of my own pocket!" Then he laughed.

"If my sister refuses again, then she doesn't treat me as a family. If Ayan knows, she will definitely blame me!"

Ji Chonglian pretended to be a little angry and pouted, "Could it be that in my sister's mind, our friendship is not as good as these external things?"

Mrs. Pei took a deep look at Ji Chonglian, and finally sighed helplessly, "You have such a clever mouth, I can't say no to you, my sister just accepts it."

When Mrs. Pei got married that year, it was the time when the Pei family was at their worst. Although they could still rely on the family fortune, mother Pei saved a lot of money in the dowry. When the elder brother separated, he didn't get much money. The real valuables had already been hidden by his second sister-in-law, that is, the Lu family.

The couple didn't care about it, even if they only got a small house, a Zhuangzi and some fertile land, they were happy and at ease.

But now that Ji Ning is an official, it's different. Although Ji Chonglian didn't understand the ways of the officialdom, he knows that money can pass through the gods. Besides, when the water is clear, there will be no fish. It is much easier to do things with money.

Ji Chonglian just didn't want the Pei family to have a hard time.

"now it's right."

Ji Chonglian patted Pei's hand with a smile, poured her another cup of tea and passed it over, "If my sister is bored in Yuyao, you can bring the children to the capital to live for a while, you know they are men Once you get busy, you can forget about everything, and we women can have some fun by ourselves when we are together."

"it is good."

Mrs. Pei agreed with a smile, and the two chatted about the child for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, she got up and left.
