Nine-fold lotus of the famous family

Chapter 7
Now Ji's family is still in Shangjing except for the eldest master Ji Mingde, and almost all of them have returned home. Even her nominal father Ji Mingxuan was kicked out because of the downfall of old master Ji, ending his ridiculous career in history.

As far as Ji Chonglian saw, Ji Mingxuan couldn't wish more. How could this infatuated seed be willing to be separated from the woman he loves, even if he died, he would have to die together to close his eyes.

"Sister, what time is it now?"

Ji Chongyu was lying on the soft cotton mattress in the car, but his eyes couldn't be closed all the time, so he couldn't help turning his head to look at Ji Chonglian, his small face was full of solemn expression.

"It's the end of You hour, and we should arrive at Lingyin Temple in a while, we'll rest there tonight."

Ji Chonglian stretched out her hand and stroked Ji Chongyu's forehead. Two accidents in just a few months were enough to make Ji Chongyu much more mature than children of the same age. She hoped that he would grow up carefree, but Reality doesn't allow it.

"Then...can we take mother back home together?"

Ji Chongyu asked in a low voice, a look of anticipation rose in his black eyes.

They all left, and they didn't want to leave their mother alone in the back mountain of Lingyin Temple. If they wanted to come to worship in the future, it might not be easy.

"cannot!"

Ji Chonglian did not hesitate to annihilate the flame of hope in Ji Chongyu's eyes. Looking at his dejected expression, she couldn't help saying softly: "Now that my grandfather is ill and the whole family is worried, who would want to relocate my mother's grave? Besides, It's not the time right now, let's wait for the auspicious time three years later, when brother Yu will grow up, let's come and pick up my mother, okay?"

Ji Chongyu's eyes lit up, and he grinned slightly, revealing two small white canine teeth, "I listen to my sister!"

"Ouch!"

A low cry came from outside the car, and Ji Chonglian's heart tightened, and she quickly lifted the curtain, only to see that Liu's mother was already lying on the side in pain, Hongying held an umbrella for her, and Biyuan hurriedly helped her up.

"What's going on here?"

Ji Chonglian asked anxiously, but she didn't dare to raise her voice.

Ji Mingxuan and Aunt Liu's carriage was driving ahead of them, if they heard something, they would point them out and teach them.

Traveling this way, the masters took a total of six carriages. The first carriage carried the old man Ji and the old lady, the second carried the eldest wife Meng Shi and the two girls of the big house, and the third carried It is the third wife, Yao family, aunt Zeng and the third girl. The fourth car is carrying the young masters of the eldest and third house. The fifth car is the fourth master Ji Mingxuan, Aunt Liu and their pair of children. The love is naturally Ji Chonglian's siblings.

Originally, Ji Ziwei and Ji Chongtian were with Ji Chonglian's siblings, but they didn't like each other, and Aunt Liu was worried, so she took Ji Ziwei and their siblings over, Ji Chonglian couldn't wish more.

"Girl, Mama Liu sprained her ankle!"

Hongying wiped the rainwater off her face, leaned closer to the car and said in a low voice.

"Quick, help Mama Liu up!"

Ji Chonglian hurriedly gave up a seat, and beckoned anxiously to Mother Liu, and Ji Chongyu also rolled over with a grunt.

Mother Liu endured the pain, but shook her head and said, "Miss, it's impossible, the mothers in the other room are all walking under the car, if I get in the car... then there will be gossip again."

Ji Chonglian frowned, and thought for a while: "Then...you two are helping Mama Liu to sit on the shaft of the car. If anyone asks, just say that I told you that Mama has a sprained foot and can't walk. I don't want to drag Shichen down, so I just use it." This compromise is not to break the rules."

"Yes."

Hongying nodded in response, and mother Liu's eyes glowed with emotion, she nodded to Ji Chonglian, and with the support of Hongying and Biyuan, she gritted her teeth and sat on the shaft of the car.

"Be careful, both of you. You can arrive in an hour at most. If the rain stops tomorrow, the road will be easier to walk."

Ji Chonglian worriedly reminded Hongying and Biyuan that the two girls had never experienced such hardship when staying at Ji's house. After walking through this journey today, their shoes and socks were soaked, and they might not be sure about the little feet. She felt a little sad when she thought about how she had been tortured, but she couldn't help them at all.

This is the rule set by the eldest wife, and now it is at the cusp of the storm, saying that the servants should not be spoiled, except for the master who can take the car, they can only take the road.

The big maids who serve the master are considered half-lady, not to mention those pampered mothers, just this trip tonight must make them miserable.

"Miss, maidservants don't need it."

Hongying and Biyuan looked at each other, and they hurriedly nodded in agreement, ignoring the mud and dirt on their hands and skirt.

It was foggy in the early morning, and there was still mist on the bluestone road in the back mountain. Ji Chonglian had already pulled Ji Chongyu, carrying a lantern, and the siblings walked towards Shen's grave with one foot deep and one shallow foot.

The continuous rainy season made the road in the back mountain a bit muddy. After passing the bluestone road, the mud road was even more slippery. Ji Chonglian found two forked branches to support her, which made her walk a little easier.

Arriving in front of Shen's grave, Ji Chonglian used the fallen branches with dead leaves from the grave to sweep out an open space, spread the oiled paper he brought, and placed two plates of melon and fruit snacks that had been prepared before. He kowtowed respectfully in front of the grave.

"Mother, we are going back to Danyang. We can't take you with me this time, but my sister promises that I will pick you up in three years. You can wait at ease. The children will burn paper and incense for you every new year. It will make it difficult for you down here!"

Ji Chongyu clasped his hands together, although his words were a little childish, but his face was solemn and determined.

"Mother, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Brother Yu."

Ji Chonglian's affection for Shen's is not deep, although she received the memory of the original owner, but when she transmigrated, Shen's had already passed away.

But Ji Chongyu is different, the two siblings have grown up together since Shen's death, and now they even live in the same garden, so the relationship is naturally unusual.

Ji Chonglian can be said to have witnessed Ji Chongyu's growth. The little child has grown from weak to strong, and will no longer cry at every turn, and sometimes even comfort her. Thinking about it makes people feel comforted.

With such a sensible son, Shen's spirit must rest in peace in heaven.

Ji Chongyu glanced at Ji Chonglian, then cleared his throat, and said maturely: "My sister treats me very well. In addition to urging me to practice calligraphy and reading, she also reasoned with me and taught me right from wrong. Don't worry, mother, our siblings will definitely understand each other." Well, live up to your expectations!"

Ji Chonglian pursed her lips and smiled, and couldn't help rubbing Ji Chongyu's head with her hand. This kid is a big kid, and she also hopes that he will have a future in the future. That is also a way for their siblings to survive.
