Chapter 159

Ji Wei walked up a few steps, and saw a middle-aged man with a pale face and a little white frost on his temples walking towards him not far away.Ji Wei knew clearly that this was only the father of the original owner of the body, but her eye circles were still red uncontrollably, and she choked up, "Father..."

Master Su Er stopped, took a look at Jiwei, and then shouted: "Arui..." He took a few steps, stepped forward and patted Jiwei on the shoulder: "My child, it's a cold day, don't worry!" Standing at the door. You are inconvenient now, why don't you sit in the room and wait for me?"

Such natural and intimate words calmed Jiwei's mood all at once.She broke through her tears and said with a smile: "I want to see my father sooner. Father, sit down, it's cold outside, right? You hug the heater, it will be warmer."

Master Su Er didn't refuse, took the stove and sat on the chair, and said with a smile: "Silly boy, sit down quickly."

Jiwei just smiled, turned her head and pulled Beibei, and said, "Father, this is Beibei. Beibei, please greet grandpa."

Beibei obediently followed Jiwei's instruction, kneeling on the ground to kowtow to Master Su Er: "Granddaughter pays respects to grandfather."

Master Su Er's eyes seemed to be a little red: "This is the big girl you gave birth to, A Rui? She's already this old? Get up quickly and let my grandfather have a look."

Beibei obediently ran to Master Su Er, and called "grandfather" again in a childlike voice.Master Su Er was not a very emotional person at first, but this time he was really happy in his heart. He let go of the stove and hugged Beibei on his lap, and said repeatedly: "My good granddaughter, how old is this year? Have you ever gone to school? Have you? what?"

Beibei answered in a childish voice, which made Master Su laugh heartily.

Jiwei sat down on a chair beside her, watching this scene, she felt very peaceful and joyful in her heart.In the original Jiwei's memory, Master Su Er was a rigorous scholar by nature, and he didn't like to joke, but now it seems that Master Su Er is still a very hearty and enthusiastic person.

Master Su Er talked to his little granddaughter for a while, and then let her play by herself.He hasn't seen his eldest daughter for so long, and he misses him very much.He took a sip of hot tea, talked to Jiwei about the current situation in his hometown, and then began to ask Qin Ye carefully about the expedition.

When Jiwei met her father, her heart was settled, and she explained in detail the process from the besiege of the uncle's mansion to Qin Ye's expedition.

Master Su Er thought for a while, and said: "A Rui, although Qin Ye's expedition is unpredictable, it is also an opportunity to sharpen him. The edge of a sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from bitter cold. As a general, he is He should go to battle to kill the enemy, maybe after this battle, he will make great achievements in the court. Therefore, you don't have to worry too much, the most important thing is to rest assured and raise your baby."

Jiwei knew that Master Su Er was trying to comfort her, so she smiled: "Father said yes. With my father in Beijing, I feel much more at ease."

Master Su Er nodded: "Qin Ye, I have always been very optimistic about him. Although the current situation is not good, it is not impossible to win. Besides, the Holy One is the destiny, with the blessing of the gods, there will be no rebels. It will end well. I will try my best to pave the way for him in the court. You can raise your baby here with peace of mind, and your father will take care of the outside things for you. If you are not happy staying in the uncle's house, you can go home and live, you know? ?”

Jiwei's heart warmed up, and she replied, "Yes, I also really want to go home. But it's almost Chinese New Year, so it's better for me to stay in the uncle's house, so as not to let anyone gossip."

The Second Master Su's expression changed, and he said, "A Rui, you don't have to worry about what outsiders say. You just need to know that you can go back to your mother's house whenever you want. The door of the Su Mansion is always open for you. You have to remember that in my father's heart, you are living well, which is more important than anything else. By the way, A Rui, last time you were suddenly injured in the uncle's house. What happened? My father is far away in his hometown, I couldn't know the details, and I was really worried about you at the time."

Jiwei said: "That incident was also my carelessness. Don't worry, father, the person who harmed me is long gone, and I will not let others have a chance to succeed."

Master Su Er Yin Yin said: "You are at home alone now, you must be careful in everything, and if you are unsure, just send a letter to your father, you understand?"

Of course Jiwei couldn't agree.

Master Su Er had lunch with Jiwei in the uncle's mansion, and then he left.Jiwei's heart was settled, and she felt relaxed.In this capital city, she is no longer helpless.

Due to personality reasons, the former Jiwei and this father were not close.But in this meeting, Jiwei really felt a father's selfless love for his daughter from him.Master Su Er is elegant and upright, he is not overly doting on his daughter, but he really cares about his daughter.

Big families in ancient times paid attention to face, especially fame, but this father can say that "the daughter's life is more important than anything else", which is really rare.No wonder Second Master Su was able to never take concubines, even after his wife died, he never thought of remarrying.

After the Second Master Su left, Jiwei took Beibei to the small kitchen and cooked Laba porridge with the cooks.

The Laba Festival was a very important festival in the Dali Dynasty. On that day, not only the emperor would cook Laba porridge for the palace and ministers, but every household would also cook Laba porridge to worship ancestors, and then the family reunited to drink Laba porridge and give gifts to each other.

While telling Beibei various stories about the Laba Festival, Jiwei taught her to recognize various ingredients for Laba porridge.There are many kinds of Laba porridge in rich families, and the ingredients put in it are even more varied.While identifying various fruits, the little girl picked out the fruits, peeled and removed the pits, and put them in the jar Jiwei had chosen for her, making the porridge by herself.

Early in the morning of the Laba Festival, the mother and daughter drank the Laba porridge that they selected and cooked by themselves.Jiwei specially asks Mama Du to send the porridge she cooked back to Su Mansion.

Mother Du was very happy when she got this job.This time Master Su Er returned to Beijing, and the servants followed him.She just took this opportunity to meet her old friend from the past.

Beibei heard that she could give away the porridge she made by herself, so she happily took a can of Laba porridge and sent it to Prince Rui's mansion for the eldest son Li Xingyu.

At noon, the uncle had sacrificed to the ancestors in the ancestral hall, so he asked everyone to drink Laba porridge together.Jiwei didn't refuse this time, and went with Beibei.

The meal was very dull.The wife was wearing a forehead wipe, and she didn't have a smile on her face, she looked sick.Ye Shi, the third grandma who was usually very talkative, was also silent, as if she couldn't cheer up.It was because Ji Wei met Mr. Su Er yesterday and felt peaceful, so she ate very comfortably, which made everyone look at her with admiration.

After eating, Grandma Fifth said in front of her uncle that the princess is not feeling well recently and she wants to go back and take care of her for a while.Fifth Master stared at Fifth Grandma in surprise, apparently not expecting her to say such words suddenly.

The wife frowned, and asked unhappily: "The princess is not in good health? When did this happen? Why didn't I hear the news?"

The fifth grandma replied: "I also just received the news yesterday. I heard from someone that my mother is sick in bed and misses me very much. My mother only has one daughter, and she will inevitably miss me when she is ill. Please give me permission from my wife." , so that I can show some filial piety in front of my mother. What's more, now that my fourth brother is away on an expedition, I'm at my mother's place, maybe I can get some news."

A trace of displeasure flashed across the eyes of the wife, and she thought that the old fifth daughter-in-law might go home to hide in peace, but what she said was reasonable, and now the uncle's mansion also has to rely on the princess, so she replied: "If that's the case, then You can go! But, don't stay at your mother's house for too long, after all, you are a married daughter, and you have to go back to the uncle's house for the New Year, you know?"

Grandma Fifth bowed and said, "Yes."

The wife was in a bad mood, and after talking for a while, she asked them to take the children and leave.When Jiwei took Beibei out, she happened to follow Fifth Master and Fifth Grandma.Not long after leaving the house, I saw Fifth Master questioning Fifth Grandma: "You want to go back to your mother's house? Why didn't you tell me in advance?"

Grandma Fifth curled her lips: "Isn't it the same as I said just now?"

The fifth master was angry: "I think you are afraid of death and don't want to be implicated, that's why you went back to your mother's house, didn't you?"

Fifth Grandma was not happy anymore: "Why are you talking like that! I told my wife the reason just now, and she agreed. What else can you say?"

The fifth master snorted coldly: "I think you don't take my husband too seriously. Okay, you can go back if you want, and I don't care about you. From now on, don't bother me!" After the master finished speaking, he left angrily.

Fifth Grandma was choked by Fifth Master, and said angrily: "Don't care! Don't care! Rare!"

The girl next to Grandma Fifth persuaded her softly and pulled her away.

Seeing this scene, Ji Wei sighed inwardly.Sure enough, a friend in need is a friend indeed.The fifth master and fifth grandma seemed to be harmonious on weekdays, but they never expected that their relationship would be so vulnerable in the face of difficulties.Now the uncle's mansion is only facing a difficult situation, if it really comes the day when the nobles are reduced to the people, what kind of chaos will it really be like!It seems that she has to be on guard in advance, maybe those servants have other thoughts.
