Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 91 Destined to walk around a lot in the future (one more)
Lunch in the flower hall.

The old lady was waiting at the entrance of the flower hall early, watching her eldest daughter-in-law bring a girl over. Although the girl was wearing a veil and couldn't see her face clearly, she didn't lose half a point when she looked at the charm.The eldest daughter-in-law is also from a well-known family. It is really unexpected that this girl is from a small place, but she behaves so gracefully.

The most rare thing is that along the way, I didn't look around at all to see the freshness.

"Miss Ji? Isn't that right?" The old lady helped the other party salute without letting Ji Wuyan complete the salute. Seeing Xi Yu handing over the box to the nanny, she took another step back and waited. Before leaving, he thought to himself, good boy, and said it doesn't matter, Xi Yu is like serving the head of the house...

The smile in her eyes became deeper and deeper, "The old woman will rely on the old to sell the old, and won't call you Miss Ji, Miss Ji, but call you, girl, how about it? Look close."

Ji Wuyan nodded, "The old lady shows her love."

"Don't be polite, just treat yourself as your own." Then, he turned around and introduced the nanny behind him to Ji Wuyan, "This old guy who has served me for decades, you can call her Aunt Han. In the future If there is any need here, just tell her directly."

Here in the future?Ji Wuyan couldn't understand what these people said more and more, why did they mean that they would definitely walk around more in the future?What exactly did Ning Xiuyuan say?It's not that he invites himself to dinner, but what about his own people?
Thunder was rolling in my heart, but my face still didn't show anything, and I nodded with a smile, "Aunt Han." It should be called Nanny, but "Aunt" seems like a family member...

"Girl, you are welcome. If you need anything, just ask."

After the two exchanged pleasantries, the old lady asked again, "I heard that the girl's ancestral home is in the south of the Yangtze River? Who is there in the family?"

Ji Wuyan didn't use the trick of fooling Ruoshui to fool the old man, but just told the truth, "The elders are still alive, and there is an elder brother. With some small business, he will be able to support the family."

"Very good, very good...Then, did your brother ever get married?" The old man is most concerned about these topics, and even because of Ning Xiuyuan's matter, the old lady now holds detailed information on the female relatives of all parties, which is comparable to a professional matchmaker. After leaving the topic, I started to talk about matchmaking, "If I haven't, I'm a girl of the right age..."

The young lady covered her lips and smiled lightly, "Mother... Miss Ji's elder brother is in the south of the Yangtze River, so it's not suitable after all."

"Why isn't it suitable?" The old lady became anxious immediately, "Jiangnan is not too far from Yanjing, whether it's a girl from Yanjing City marrying into Jiangnan, or a girl from Jiangnan marrying into Yanjing City, don't they all complement each other? !You child, you are young, and your thinking is older than that of an old woman like me!"

The young lady suddenly realized, oh, the point is that girls from Jiangnan have to marry Yanjing City.Look at her, she stepped on the old lady's thunder for a while... She nodded and apologized, "Yes, yes, they complement each other. What my daughter-in-law means is that this man and woman look more troublesome, and it will take a long time to send the portrait ..."

In this way, the youngest daughter-in-law who has not yet married in her family will not be substituted, right?

Sure enough, the old lady nodded in satisfaction, and entered the flower hall with Ji Wuyan on her arm, "That's... Speaking of which, what kind of business does brother do?"

It seems to do nothing.

Ji Wuyan thought for a while, and found the one I mentioned earlier, "Raw silk is sold at home."

"So... Later, you write a letter to ask your brother if he is willing to move the business to us. When the time comes, the whole family will settle in Yanjing City. Wouldn't it be more lively? After all, you are a girl, and you are away all the year round. Miss you?" As he spoke, he was worried that Ji Wuyan felt that he was interfering too much, and explained, "However, these old women are just talking nonsense, and it is your parents who make the final decision. However, if you want, the Ning family can Help."

She thought about ordinary merchants in small villages, if they really moved their family northward, it would not be a difficult task.

Unexpectedly, a behemoth like the Ji family has not completed a real migration in the past hundred years. Now most of the members of the Ji family are still in the bitter cold place in northern Saibei where the wind and sand are full of sky and the environment is harsh.

Ji Wuyan nodded and said hello, and thanked the old lady for her enthusiasm.But in his heart, he felt more and more that something was wrong, so he quietly turned his head to look for Xi Yu, wanting to ask what Ning Xiuyuan meant, how did he take her over, and have a meal with the old lady inexplicably?

Little did she know, this little action of hers fell into the eyes of the old lady, and she felt more and more that this was a shy little girl, subconsciously looking for a sense of security with her sweetheart.

At that moment, he secretly glanced at the eldest daughter-in-law behind him, his spirits were high, but he suppressed it quietly, and explained, "Xiuyuan, I said I'm free today, so I just asked you to come over for a meal, it didn't work out. I thought, just after I finished saying this, I was called over by his father. Men, once they start talking about things, they don’t care about anything. Girl, are you hungry? If you’re hungry, we won’t wait for them. Let those men talk about their family and country affairs, and let's eat ours!"

Naturally, Ji Wuyan wouldn't be so rude, she just said that she just had breakfast before coming and she wasn't hungry.

Then I waited for a while, and said some short words.

It was probably the old lady who was talking, and first asked the elders of the Ji family how they were doing, how old they were, and other such insensitive topics.During the banquet, Nanny Han left for a while, and Ji Wuyan felt that she was going to urge someone.After asking the elders of Ji's family, he talked about his own family and introduced almost all the masters of Duke Ningguo's mansion, and the topic stopped on Ning Xiuyuan.

I was cute when I was a child, and when I grew up, I started to pretend to be young and mature and unsmiling. After finishing speaking, I shook my head regretfully and sighed, "I don't know who I learned from that child, probably because I stayed with his elder brother for a long time when I was young." gone."

The young lady Jiang covered her mouth and smiled lightly, "My husband is not as serious as my uncle."

"Yes." The old lady said mercilessly, "It was the same in the early years, and then we got married and had a child. After two or three years, I saw that I went back in recent years. Our house just lacks a Little princess, just to change the temperament of those elders. It's not pleasant..."

After the words fell, a voice came from outside, "Who are you talking about here who doesn't like it?" The voice was full-bodied, and one could tell that he was a few years old and had been in a high position for a long time.

Ji Wuyan stood up and saluted, "My daughter, Ji Wuyan, has met Duke Ning."

After thinking about it, he somewhat reluctantly added, "Master Ning."

"Huh?" The old man closed his smile, a little displeased, and asked Ning Xiuyuan, "This girl, has she always saluted you like this?"
