Nine-fold lotus of the famous family

Chapter 570 Visiting Shi Rou, talking about Begonia (2)
"That's right, I won't be polite with my fifth cousin anymore, my mother-in-law is still waiting, you can start the banquet as soon as you arrive!"

As Shi Rou said, she took Ji Minghui's hand and walked in, and Ji Chonglian followed with the child.

The house of the Liang family is not that big. There are three entrances to the courtyard. Each entrance has five main rooms, two side rooms on the left and two side rooms, and an inverted room next to each other. In the back garden, everyone passed through the Chaoshou verandah, passed through the middle hall, and then entered a hanging flower door to the inner courtyard.

Shi Rou's mother-in-law, Mrs. Liang, is a slightly fat middle-aged woman. She looks about the same age as Ji Minghui, but there are many smile lines at the corners of her eyes. It's really round and plump.

Mrs. Liang greeted Ji Minghui with a smile first, and then turned to Ji Chonglian, "This is Mrs. Pei. I also said that Rou'er's good looks followed her mother's. They all look like logos!"

Ji Chonglian greeted Mrs. Liang with a smile, "Auntie, don't be so rude, I am your junior, so please call me Chonglian!"

Mrs. Liang was not a hypocritical person, so she immediately called out, "Okay, okay, Chonglian!"

He praised the children again, and gave the prepared meeting gift to them.

Only then did Shi Rou pat her head, and looked at Ji Chonglian with some embarrassment, "I just came to pick you up, but I gave the meeting gift of a few cousins ​​to the house, so I'll let someone pick it up!" Turn around and tell the maid to fetch it.

Ji Chonglian shook her head with a smile, and asked Liuli to hand over the cloud-patterned gold silk purse she had prepared to Brother Yao's nanny, and said to Mrs. Liang with a smile: "Before leaving Beijing, I specially asked the master to consecrate it at Lingyin Temple." The jade plaque on which Brother Yao’s birthday is engraved, bless Brother Yao to grow up healthily and live a life free from disease and disaster.”

Mrs. Liang smiled and glanced at Ji Chonglian, "You really have a heart."

Waiting for the maid to bring the things from the house, Shi Rou hung them around the waists of the children, then turned to Ji Chonglian and said: "I sewed some sachets with my own hands, and put some mosquito repellent in them." The wormwood also has gold, silver and copper coins, just for auspiciousness, don't dislike the fifth cousin!"

Ji Chonglian smiled and pulled Shi Rou up, "It's too late for me to be grateful for your kind heart, so why would you despise me?"

Everyone chatted and laughed for a while, and then Mrs. Liang asked someone to set up a table, and the meal was enjoyed harmoniously.

After the meal, the nanny watched the children go to play on the kang, and the adults chatted aside.

Shi Rou pulled Ji Chonglian's hand aside and spoke, "I heard that the princess also went back to Danyang, why didn't you come today?"

"Brother Yu took her around, I'm afraid I'm not in Danyang right now, but we will go together when we leave."

Ji Chonglian said truthfully, and Shi Rou felt sorry for a while, "I have long heard that the imperial concubine is beautiful, and I expected that the princess is also beautiful, but I didn't expect to see him this time. If I didn't have a big belly, I would have gone to their wedding last year." .”

"That's not easy." Ji Chonglian smiled and gave Shi Rou a look, took her hand and said, "You just go with us, go back to your mother's house for a few days, and make sure you can see their young couple, after all, they are relatives You have to be familiar with each other, otherwise you won’t know each other when you meet on the street.”

Shi Rou was a little embarrassed, "If I leave, Brother Yao will definitely follow me, and his grandmother is reluctant to part with him, and she reads in a panic when she doesn't see her for a day, and besides, my husband will go home once every three days, I, I..."

Ji Chonglian joked with a smile: "Dare to be reluctant to part with my cousin-in-law, and use our Brother Yao as a pawn!"

Shi Rou blushed and pushed Ji Chonglian, her face full of coquettish anger, "Where did you go, cousin!"

Ji Chonglian took a look at Ji Minghui's side, then lowered her voice and said, "It's a good thing that your husband and wife are loving each other, but my aunt is still waiting for two hugs in three years!"

What she said made Shi Rou blush again, and then she said something else, "Fifth Cousin, I actually met Second Cousin in Pingyang a few days ago."

"Oh?"

Ji Chonglian frowned, and calmly sipped her tea.

Ji Haitang has been away from Shangjing for a while, and she has always wanted to take the route of Ji Chonglian to get online with the nobles in the palace, but Ji Chonglian has not accepted the offer, and then Princess Minfu has gradually alienated her. After a long time, Ji Haitang left Shangjing with Sister Yin in despair, but only informed Ji Chonglian, and they didn't even see each other when they parted.

"I saw that my second cousin looked haggard, not as glamorous as I saw before, and I don't know what happened." Shi Rou looked puzzled, "I sat with her in the teahouse for a while, she He also left in a hurry, maybe something happened in the county prince's mansion!"

"Then you can see sister Yin?"

Sister Yin's sensibility and well-behaved are very distressing. Even though Ji Chonglian doesn't like Ji Haitang very much now, she secretly hopes that Sister Yin can live a good life, at least not to live in her mother's shadow for the rest of her life.

Shi Rou thought for a while, then shook her head and said: "I didn't see her, but she was alone with her second cousin and two maids. I think she kept her carriage light and simple, and the carriage she was riding in didn't have the mark of the county prince's mansion. .”

"I'll write a letter to my second sister later, and test her tone before I talk about it."

Ji Chonglian frowned slightly, could something really have happened?

"That's fine," Shi Rou nodded, and said tactfully, "Although the second cousin has changed a little bit now, but thinking about how good you were in the past, you are both sisters, so please help if you can. It's not easy for the palace either."

Ji Chonglian nodded, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

Yes, Ji Haitang looks good on the surface, but her identity is still a concubine in essence. The status of the concubine and the fate of the concubine's children are indeed full of countless risks and variables.

Even Ji Haitang climbed up to the position of the eldest son's side concubine, she didn't know how many invisible fights and snatches she had experienced, maybe it was in such an environment that she slowly formed her current temperament.

Ji Chonglian and the others lived in Liang's house for two days, but they also met Shi Rou's husband, a man who looks very simple and honest, and his facial features are not outstanding, but his eyes looking at Shi Rou are very gentle, and he is a caring person. .

Ji Chonglian secretly nodded to Ji Minghui from the side, meaning that this cousin-in-law passed the test.

Only then did Ji Minghui curl his lips into a satisfied smile.
