Luomeiyuan, a few potted roses are blooming, colorful, reflecting the plum trees are a bit more fresh.
Mrs. Ji was lying on the rattan chair under the corridor, watching people prune the flowers.
The rattan chair is covered with thick tiger skin, soft and warm.
Mrs. Ji was sleepy. She closed her eyes and dozed off.
All of a sudden, a pair of small hands touched her shoulder and beat her. The strength was light, but it was very comfortable.
Mrs. Ji didn't open her eyes. She slowly laughed: "is it brother Liu?"
"Well." Brother Liu answered softly.
Mrs. Ji took brother Liu's little hand and said, "well, grandma is comfortable. No need to hammer. Have you done your homework today?"
Brother Liu nodded and didn't talk much.
Mrs. Ji sighed. The child is good at everything, but he's a little timid. He doesn't even dare to say a few words. It's not his mother who asked him to come here. He can probably stay in the room all day.
"Your mother asked you to come here?"
Brother Liu nodded and quickly shook his head.
"You want to come here?"
Liu Ge'er nodded.
I'm your grandmother, not your enemy. What are you afraid of me doing?
It's better to mend it. When I was a child, I followed her behind the buttocks. It was like a small tail that couldn't be driven away. I was very noisy. I didn't fight for a day. I went to my room to uncover the tiles. Except when I was asleep, I didn't have a moment of peace.
Strange way, she loves to repair, so naughty and fun baby grandson, who doesn't like it? When people get old, they like to be boisterous. This little girl comes to her yard every day. She is also in pain, but after all, she doesn't have much fun.
Mrs. Ji asked the servant girl to take the food. Brother Liu sat on the small chair beside Mrs. Ji's body and ate it in small mouthfuls. He chewed slowly and did not make any sound.
Brother Liu finished eating.
He ate as Ji's family used to, and had no reason to eat the second one.
Mrs. Ji looked at his eager but forbearing little eyes, sighed secretly, and picked up the plate with dim sum: "have another piece."
Liu elder brother son swallowed to swallow saliva, crispy living tunnel: "grandson full."
Mrs. Ji said nothing more and put down the plate.
The servant girl took out the handkerchief, wiped his hand for Liu Ge'er, and handed him hot tea to rinse his mouth.
He sat quietly beside the old lady, looking at the scenery that the old lady was also looking at.
Such a big child should go to the ground to rub mud, but accompany her to enjoy the flowers like a girl. Mrs. Ji couldn't see it any more. She said to him, "grandma is going to have a rest. You should go back to sleep."
Liu elder brother son jumps to the ground, to Ji old lady arched a salute: "the grandson leaves."
Mrs. Ji nodded kindly. Brother Liu stepped back three steps, bowed, and then turned away.
Ji Mingxiu happened to enter the yard, and to go out of the Liu Ge'er touched a positive.
Brother Liu's face turned white when he saw Ji Mingxiu, just like a mouse saw a cat: "big, big, big..."
Ji Mingxiu slapped him on the head: "little stammer."
Liu ge'erwei died. He is not a stammer. He can talk. He, he, he, he
Old lady Ji couldn't look at it any more. She stared at her eldest grandson and said to brother Liu's servant girl, "Dongmei, take brother Liu back."
"Yes." Dongmei takes orders, takes brother Liu's hand, and retreats.
Ji Mingxiu strides forward, and Rong's mother moves a stool. Ji Mingxiu sits down: "how's grandma?"
"Good morning." Old lady Ji angrily glanced at him, "don't scare your brother if you don't have anything. He's timid."
Ji Ming asked: "is that my brother? I thought it was a sister. "
The servant gave a sullen smile.
Old lady Ji hit him on the back of the hand: "did you say that about your brother?"
Ji Mingxiu's lips lightly skimmed.
It's rare to see him make fun of brother Liu. As I've seen him in the past, I only look at those who don't speak. Mrs. Ji looks him up and down: "what's the good thing?"
Ji Ming said, "I found a granddaughter-in-law for my grandmother."
Mrs. Ji's eyes lit up instantly: "which girl?"
"It's from Enber house." Ji Ming practices Taoism.
"Her family." Old lady Ji was a little disappointed, and her heart was a strange thing. When Ji Mingxiu refused to marry, old lady Ji only asked him to marry one. No matter what the other person's status was, when Ji Mingxiu wanted to marry, old lady Ji hoped that he could marry someone who was worthy of a family background. Obviously, it was a little worse, "Xi'er has been married to Xiongnu. What do you think of this time Which one is it? Three ladies in three rooms, or four ladies and five ladies in four rooms? "
"Miss five is only eight." Rong's mother reminds me.
The corner of Mrs. Ji's mouth moved: "that's miss three, miss four?""The fourth young lady is already talking to her cousin." Rong's mother reminds me again.
"Miss three?" Old lady Ji's face is not good-looking, "her father is a rogue!"
Who doesn't know that the Third Master of the Qiao family is idle. In his early years, he bought a leisure job with money. He can't afford to quit after a few days. He doesn't do business in the family either. What's good about a daughter taught by such a person?
Ji Mingxiu sighed: "yesterday, the emperor announced that I was going to the palace. He told me about the marriage of the Qiao family. He said that the marriage was decided by the former queen when she was alive. Unless the Qiao family voluntarily withdrew, the Ji family would have to marry anyway. I forced the Qiao family to hand over the letter of marriage. The emperor knew about it. He was not happy and scolded me. He said that I didn't pay attention to the Queen's order."
Old lady Ji muttered: "but, but these three young ladies are not as good as Xi'er. You don't want a girl as good as Xi'er at the beginning. Now it's really..."
Ji Mingxiu said: "yes, my grandson is very sorry, but what should I do? Who else can my grandson marry besides her? You don't marry a girl from Dafang, do you
Mrs. Ji said: "don't be a girl in the big room! If you do that with King Yin, you can't enter my Ji's house! "
Rong's mother hesitated a little and said, "I've heard some news. It seems that there is only a misunderstanding between Da Fang girl and her royal highness King Yin."
"Misunderstanding?" Mrs. Ji lives in a shallow place, and the news is not very well-informed.
Rong's mother said: "it's spread in the capital that Qiao's girl has been wronged. There's someone else who's married to Yin Wang one night. That person has come to the door with her children!"
"Children, children?" As soon as Mrs. Ji listened to the child, her tongue tied. God knows how much she longed for a normal and lively child after being poisoned by the grandson of brother Liu for so long?
Rong's mother nodded: "yes, three of them!"
Mrs. Ji swallowed her saliva.
Rong's mother had already been shocked. She was calmer than the old lady when she brought up the old story again: "anyway, it's not appropriate to have a close relationship with King Yin and marry us again."
Mrs. Ji nodded. Yes, there was a lot of noise in those years. The emperor and the Minister of culture and military all saw Qiao come out of King Yin's tent. If they said that they were OK, Mrs. Ji didn't believe it. Maybe King Yin really spoiled others, but they didn't touch Qiao either. So, for the sake of the reputation of the Ji family, it's better not to marry a woman who provokes criticism.
This world is so unfair. Qiao Wei has cleared the charge of seducing King Yin, but she can't wash away the fact that she sleeps in the same bed. People don't look at her with colored eyes just because she is a victim. At most, it's a pity for the girl.
Mrs. Ji sighed helplessly: "there are too many criticisms against the girl of Dafang. She has a bad reputation. You'd better marry the girl of Sanfang!"
Ji Ming fixed: "if I insist on marrying?"
Mrs. Ji sat up and said, "you really..." Aware of what, gray eyebrows a twist, "you deliberately is not? What did she give you? Why are you so stubborn? "
Ji Ming xiudan said: "this marriage was given by the former queen. I just abide by the former Queen's Yizhi. If my grandmother doesn't want to, she will ask the emperor for another imperial decree and refute the former Queen's Yizhi."
Ji Laofu is very popular. The former queen has passed away for many years, and the latter has been vacant. It can be seen that the emperor is deeply in love with her. It is very conceivable that how could the emperor decide to refute the former Queen's face?
"She's not even from the Qiao family!"
Ji Mingxiu fixed his eyes and said, "I have already returned to Qiao's home."
Mrs. Ji looked at Xiang Rong's mother, and she nodded: "I've heard that uncle Zheng of Qiao's family is not dead, but missing. Now uncle Zheng has come back to clear Qiao's grievances and take him home."
In this way, the marriage letter is really effective.
But Mrs. Ji is not reconciled. How can his grandson, who has a bright future, marry a woman with a bad reputation? That woman has a baby with someone else. What do you want? Let her grandson be a cheap father to a pair of poor boys?
"She has had a baby with someone else," Mrs. Ji said
"The child is mine."
"What?"
Ji Mingxiu said, "my child, it's mine."
Old lady Ji is dumb
……
Qiaowei once thought that she was an abandoned girl and had a son out of wedlock. Even if the child was a monk, what would happen? It's still a matter of criticism. If you want to come to Ji's family, you won't agree with her.
However, to her surprise, the next afternoon, Ji's family sent a mother.
The mother who came here is no other than Rong's mother.
Qiaowei was stunned. I didn't save your old lady. You don't have a good memory. Did you come to ask me for help?
Rong's mother was also very surprised. Isn't this the girl who treated the old lady twice? Why are you here?
Rong's mother was so surprised that she couldn't speak. Qiao Wei slowed down first and asked calmly, "Rong's mother, why are you here?"Rong's mother said, "I'm looking for Miss Qiao. Does my benefactor know Miss Qiao?"
Qiao Wei smiles: "if you are looking for Miss Qiao who lives here, it should be me."
"You, you, you are "Miss Joe?"
"Yes," said Qiao Wei with a smile
What a ghost! Among the girls who have treated the old lady twice, it's actually miss Qiao who has an engagement with the eldest young master -
the shock is no longer enough to describe mother Rong's mood. Mother Rong asked, "that time You're in jail? "
"Yes." Qiao Wei's smile doesn't change.
Rong's mother opened her mouth: "last time I went to the temple..."
Qiao Wei said with regret: "I also learned later that the old lady was the grandmother of Mingxiu. I went to the appointment that day, but I didn't see Mingxiu's grandmother, let alone disappointed."
That day, she listened to her words without a word missing. When Rong's mother thought of this, she was very embarrassed: "you have to forgive the old lady for that. She also believed the woman's slander and misunderstood you. It's rare for you to save the old lady's life for the second time without knowing it."
Saved In the middle, Qiao Wei pursed her lips, pressed down the small difference in her eyes, and said with great worry: "I forgot to bring the gold needle that time. It was a real blunder."
"No wonder you," Rong said
Qiao Wei said with a smile: "how is the old lady's body?"
Rong mother a smile: "recuperate a few months, good almost."
Qiao Wei smiles: "that's good, that's good."
Rong mother in the heart of emotion, affectionately pulled her hand: "this is really fate!"
Qiao Wei smiles and greets Rong's mother into the hall.
Looking at the clean but not luxurious villa, Rong's mother said, "I heard that your father has come back. Congratulations."
Qiao Wei made a pot of chrysanthemum tea: "thank you, mom Rong."
Rong's mother picked up the tea cup. It was just an ordinary white porcelain cup. It was far worse than Ji's White Jade Jadeite utensils. But with the clear green flower tea, it had a fresh meaning.
Rong's mother took a sip and thought, "it's not the same chrysanthemum I used to drink."
Qiao Wei said, "it's wild chrysanthemums picked in the mountains."
Wild chrysanthemum, no wonder, tastes more fragrant than those on the market.
After three or four drinks, Rong's mother felt much better: "by the way, Miss Qiao, since you have recovered your identity, why don't you move back to Qiao's house? It's too hard on the mountain. "
Qiao Wei smiles: "I'm used to living here. Business is here too. It's convenient to take care of."
Rong's mother thought of a big warehouse she saw at the door. Sometimes someone came in and out. She was very busy. She said, "I don't know what business Miss Qiao is doing?"
"Preserved eggs."
Rong's mother was surprised again: "did you make Songhua eggs?"
They all love to eat!
It's just that it's too hard to buy. Occasionally, the young master brings back a jar, or the emperor in the palace gives some. It's not enough to eat.
Rong's mother looked at Qiao Wei with another change in her eyes.
In fact, apart from those things about Chen Zhima's rotten corn, Miss Qiao is really a good girl. She is beautiful and generous. Although she is not as gentle and reserved as those delicate daughters, she is also very hard-working, capable and kind-hearted.
Qiao Wei saw that Rong's mother had finished a cup of tea, but still didn't get to the point, so she asked, "what's the matter with Rong's mother coming to see me today?"
"I..." Rong's mother took a deep breath, "I want to see the young master and young lady."
To be honest, Qiao Wei is not used to her children being "coveted". How can the children she raised become the young master and young lady of other people? It's really sour.
"I'm afraid it's not convenient for them to come out and meet people in private school," said Qiao Wei, clearing her throat
Rong's mother was a little surprised when she was rejected. It's reasonable to say that she wants to marry into Ji's family so much. With such chips as having children, she can't wait to take them out, but she seems to be hiding them and won't let her see them.
Rong's mother said, "I'll have a look at it from a distance."
Qiaowei hesitated for a moment to make sure that she really just looked and took her.
Compared with last year, the old scholar's private school has undergone tremendous changes. There are more students, the classroom has been expanded, and Qiao Wei has also funded a library. The children in the village think that the private school is bigger and cleaner than their own home.
As soon as Kerong's mother came into the yard, she almost burst into tears.
Is it in such a shabby place that the young master and young lady of her family study? What a tragedy!
There are dozens of people sitting in the classroom, only an old man talking on the stage.
You know, brother Liu's study is bigger than the whole private school.
Liu Ge'er had six masters, who taught different subjects and had both civil and military abilities."Which is the young master?" Rong's mother stood on tiptoe.
Qiaowei pointed to the seat in the center of the first row, sitting straight and small body: "the one in blue."
Rong: I can only see one back of my head!
Wangshu is not difficult to identify, lying on the desk snoring is her, Xiaobai is more serious than her.
But she is lying face in, Rong mother also can't see!
Rong's mother is very anxious.
At this time, the old scholar named Jing Yun: "Jing Yun, you come up to tell us the story of Wei Dynasty and Zhao Dynasty."
"Yes."
Jing Yun stood up and went to the stage.
Rong's mother stares at her back and feels familiar.
Jing Yun turned as like as two peas.
