Nine-fold lotus of the famous family

Chapter 23 Ethnology Bitterness
Besides, she has not been reading in this backyard library for a day or two. If there is no acquiescence from the eldest aunt, I am afraid that only Shi Yong's guarantee will not be enough to make things happen.

For this, Ji Chonglian was naturally grateful.

When Ji Minghui and his group arrived at the library, Xiangxiu put away her umbrella, and Xiangzhu knocked on the door, obviously knowing that there was someone inside.

Ji Chonglian sighed softly, and then asked Bi Yuan to open the door. As soon as the eldest aunt stood still, she bowed her head and raised her head with a smile: "Did the eldest aunt come to find me on purpose?"

Ji Minghui was slightly taken aback, then smiled, shook off the rain stains on his shoulders with a wave, stepped forward to hold Ji Chonglian's hand, "I knew you were smart, you're not in vain..."

Naturally, the words were closed again, Ji Minghui pursed his lips and smiled, and had already pulled Ji Chonglian to the inner room to talk.

After a while, Xiang Zhu brought the hot tea that was brewed, and in the room full of tea fragrance and smoke, Ji Minghui sighed softly, "So many years have passed in a blink of an eye, and you have grown into a big girl! "

Ji Chonglian didn't answer, but looked at the eldest aunt curiously. She knew that the eldest aunt seemed to be remembering something, and all these seemed to be closely related to her.

"Are you wondering why I treat you differently?"

Ji Minghui turned his head to look at Ji Chonglian, only to see that she has delicate eyebrows and eyes, she is pretty and pleasant, and she has Shen Shi's look in Gu Panjian.

"If my aunt wants to talk, she will naturally tell Chong Lian."

Ji Chonglian sat upright, although she had some expectations in her heart, she didn't show any curiosity on the bottom face, and there was always a faint smile on her face.

"I... I have an old relationship with your mother. Now that you have returned to Danyang, I will naturally take good care of you within my ability."

Ji Minghui said this, thinking about it, he didn't want to say it deeply, after taking a sip of tea, he looked at Ji Chonglian quietly, and felt that the little girl in front of him seemed to be really different from children of the same age.

Know how to be humble, have self-knowledge, what is rare is that you know how to endure, keep a low profile, and take it slowly, not like ordinary women in the boudoir, she is quite a gentleman.

This point can be seen from Ji Chonglian asking Shi Yong to copy the Dibao for her. If she is not always concerned about the future and destiny of Ji's family, how can a seven-year-old girl read this boring Dibao? The appointment and removal of officials for major events in the court has always been what men care about.

If Shi Yi hadn't wanted to find the vacancy of the Deputy Envoy of the Appeasement Division, the sixth-rank military official, Ji Minghui would not have devoted all his energy to this aspect, nor would he have gotten in touch with Shen's because of this.

Everything she has done now can be regarded as repaying the love she owed to Shen Shi back then.

Perhaps the members of Ji's family don't know that this seemingly indisputable fourth wife has already planned everything secretly. Even if she knows that her life is not long, she will pave the way for her children carefully, just waiting for a certain day in the future. The melons that are planted can bear beans.

This is a smart woman, but she is weak by nature. If she can fight for it, maybe it will not be like this today.

While regretting, Ji Minghui couldn't help sighing deeply, looking at Ji Chonglian now, he thought of Shen Shi back then, they were mother and daughter!

The same Lan Xinhui's temperament, but she had more expectations for Ji Chonglian.

Even Shi Yong... Thinking of her son, Ji Minghui smiled helplessly.

She knows her son's temperament. Shi Yong is calm, but he is a bit rigid. He lacks the vivacity and jumpiness that children of this age should have. Shi Qiang has done a good job in this regard. She has plans for the future of both sons. , if there is a daughter-in-law like Ji Chonglian...

Thinking about it, Ji Minghui laughed. The children are still young, so I'm afraid she thought too early, but it's still a good plan.

Ji Chonglian blinked. Naturally, she didn't know what the eldest aunt was thinking at the moment, but seeing the look of the eldest aunt who seemed to be immersed in the memories of the past and slightly trance-smiled, there seemed to be a flash of light in her mind, and she slowly came to her senses.

Mother...Ms. Shen...

This may be just a code name for her, and she didn't even feel it clearly, but now she can feel the maternal love left behind, which is slowly extended in another way.

At this moment, Ji Chonglian silently lowered her head, her clothes were wet with tears unconsciously.

After the New Year's Eve, the children stopped playing around, and the ethnology classes officially started on the second day of February.

Ji Chonglian sewed a simple schoolbag for Ji Chongyu early on, but in order not to look too strange, she made it into the appearance of a bag of this era, but took a lot of skill and sewed a few pockets, and divided the inner and outer layers into large and small bags. They even carefully embroidered the corresponding words on the surface of each bag, and placed a set of utensils inside, which is extremely convenient to use, but the appearance is not obvious, and only those who actually use it can understand its meaning. benefit.

After Ji Chonglian did her daily work, the only two things she was interested in were liquidating her own assets, and the other was reading the mansion newspaper and reading books.

In the past, she didn't know that she had a special money. Since she showed her face in front of the old lady during the New Year's greetings, and she said a rare auspicious word to please the old lady, the regular money of the two siblings has officially counted. .

She and Ji Chongyu only have two taels of silver per month. Although the amount is not much, they are all collected from her and used when they are useful. As for the 1000 taels of silver at the bottom of the box, Ji Chonglian has not yet found its correct use.

In addition, she used to draw some tricks to exchange some things from the third girl Ji Youlan, and if she sold them, she could make up a lot of money. These were not counted in the public house, and they were naturally her personal property.

"girl!"

Bi Yuan lifted the curtain and entered the room, with anxious eyes, "Master, school is over!"

"Let's leave school after school, what's the matter?"

Ji Chonglian closed the box, handed it to Hongying to lock it in the cabinet, then turned to Biyuan and said, "Look at your flustered appearance, what's going on?"

Bi Yuan blushed with anxiety, "The servant girl saw... the servant girl saw that the young master's clothes were torn, although he avoided the servant girl and brought the servant into the house in a hurry, but The servant girl read it right, there is still something red on that shirt..."

Before Bi Yuan finished speaking, Ji Chonglian had already slid down from the couch, put on the homely clothes handed over by Hongying, after a little tidying up, he ran out with a serious expression, "Follow me to have a look."

The two girls answered yes repeatedly, and when they reached Ji Chongyu's house, Ji Chonglian slowed down, only to hear Ji Chongyu's pleading voice from inside the room, "Mom, you must not tell your sister about this!"

Mother Liu seemed a little embarrassed, and her voice was choked up, "It's clearly the third young master and the fifth young master who are wrong, young master, why do you have to suffer for them?"

What else did Ji Chongyu want to say, the door was pushed open from the outside with a "creak", and Ji Chonglian stepped in with a cold face.
