Four adorable babies of auspicious families

Chapter 9

After Bai Xingyun explained everything, he really rode away with a few entourages on horseback. Jixiang stood at the door and looked at his back in a daze, feeling a little dazed. How did this plot develop a bit unreasonably?
Before Ji Xiang finished sighing, the butler, Uncle Qing, came to her with a thick account book. Ji Xiang felt dizzy just looking at the cover, and sighed secretly, and followed the housekeeper to the side hall to read the account book.

Uncle Qing stood aside and talked about the origin and use of this Zhuangzi. Jixiang remembered that this was the summer resort of Bai Xingyun’s family. It was not a home at all. Bigger than a town.

Patiently listened to Uncle Qing's words, probably auspicious according to the temple, and then looked at it after dinner, and then ordered lunch.

Several children had lunch with Jixiang, gathered around a big dining table and looked at the table full of delicacies. The children were very calm, but Jixiang almost drooled.

"Mother, use it first." The educated children will be different immediately. They all speak politely and have a respectful attitude. Jixiang nodded in satisfaction and picked up the chopsticks to pick up vegetables for several children.

In the days without Bai Xingyun, Jixiang's mother and son lived at ease, and the children studied hard, learning martial arts and poetry and poetry hand in hand. Jixiang would check their homework at night, which is very conscious.

The weather was getting hotter and Jixiang was getting more and more lazy. She read Uncle Qing's account book from one day to the next, and Uncle Qing could only sigh.

That day, Jixiang was sleeping soundly in her own room, while Xiaolan was fanning, and Uncle Qing was standing outside the door and calling her anxiously.

"Ma'am, I received the news that the old lady in the capital is coming to escape the summer heat, and it will be here in two days." Uncle Qing's voice was not loud, but Jixiang woke up quickly, because the old lady must be the real mistress.

Jixiang doesn't want to live a life of being dependent on others, and in this society where men are superior to women, it is absolutely impossible for an unmarried woman with four children to live here dignifiedly.

"Uncle Qing just take someone to clean up the yard where the old lady is going to live and wait for their arrival." Ji Xiang pretended to be calm and ordered, she had already started planning where to take the children to hide for a while.

Although this Zhuangzi is great, it is his family's property after all, and the servant girl's mouth may not be able to control it. If it leaks the news, wouldn't it be embarrassing to be caught?
Uncle Qing left at the sound, and Jixiang couldn't lie down either, and paced up and down the room trying to find a way.

When the four children finished their studies and came to check with Jixiang, they saw her frowning and asked her what was wrong.

Only then did Jixiang tell them that the old lady was coming to escape the summer heat, and the children couldn't help being happy when they heard the news.

"Mother, what's there to worry about? Uncle Bai is a gentleman, and his family must be reasonable. Why do we hide?" Jia Wen asked Jixiang puzzled.

"Silly boy, my mother gave birth to the four of you without getting married. Bai Xingyun let us live here only to repay us. You don't understand the world of adults, so the old lady will definitely not like our five mothers. You may even think that We are unlucky." Jixiang explained with embarrassment, she did not want the children to thoroughly understand the complex hidden rules of society, which would greatly stimulate their young hearts.

"If mother doesn't feel happy here, we can leave. Anyway, we didn't starve to death after suffering so much before, and we can live well now." Ding Quan is more protective of Jixiang, he has always been on Jixiang's side.

Jixiang looked at him with relief. It took a long time for Jixiang to realize the names of these four children. This is because the original owner used A, B, B, Ding as their surnames, which is considered embarrassing for the original owner.

Those who didn't know thought these four children had four fathers.

"Mother, there are still two days left to arrive anyway, just relax and wait, the baby will naturally have a way to make the old lady like us." Shuang Shuang took Ji Xiang's hand to comfort her, Ji Xiang liked what Shuang Shuang said the most Ji Xiang is still willing to listen.
