Nine-fold lotus of the famous family

Chapter 29 The Patriarch's Birthday
The old lady was startled, then she tapped on Ji Furong's forehead and said with a smile: "You monkey want to plot against me again, why didn't you ask your mother, instead you found me, an old lady?"

"This matter... Only you can always help."

Ji Furong hugged the old lady Ji's arm with a smile, and said affectionately: "Grandma, if one day I'm not at Ji's house, I hope grandma will take care of my fifth sister and brother!"

The old lady Ji squinted her eyes slightly, and after a long while, she seemed to joke unintentionally: "She also said that she would stay with my old lady all the time. I dare say that I planned it a long time ago..."

"grandmother……"

Ji Furong acted coquettishly again, the old lady withdrew her smile, and answered seriously, "What's so good about the fifth girl that it deserves your sincerity?"

Ji Furong straightened up, thought about it seriously, and said: "I just feel sorry for the fifth sister who lost her mother when she was young... If there is something about her that has won my favor, it is her mellow atmosphere, but she is so visceral. Isn't she the same as your grandmother with a temperament of hidden strength?"

At this point, Ji Furong smiled and looked at Mrs. Ji, and asked her to nod or shake her head. She just pointed to her forehead and said helplessly, "You are the only one who can talk!"

Ji Furong refused to give up and asked: "Then grandma agreed?"

"You praised her like this, and even put my old face in it, can I not agree?"

The old lady Ji gave Ji Furong a smile with a smile, "Besides, the fifth girl is also the granddaughter of my direct relative. I used to have their mother to take care of them, but now I will definitely take care of them. I will not let those who think they are in power Humei lamb is bullying!"

Mrs. Shen was also caught by Mrs. Ji's wise eyes. Didn't she just fall in love with the girl from the Shen family who was well-educated, intelligent and restrained?
It's just a pity that Mrs. Shen lacks the will to fight, maybe it's because she has become indifferent and detached.

The old lady Ji shook her head with emotion, she was mellow and elegant, with a strong character... To get such an evaluation from Ji Furong, she should really pay attention to this fifth girl.

February 28th is Ji Chongyu's sixth birthday, and children don't need to celebrate it specially. Ji Furong sent the money that should be for the master's birthday early, and Mo Ju personally delivered it to Emerald Lake. After Ji Chonglian made some arrangements, Mama Liu Take the money and go out to buy.

Ji Chonglian cooks in person, busy in the small kitchen built in the back room, Bi Yuan and Hong Ying also help out, working all morning before resting.

When Ji Chongyu came home from school, he couldn't help grinning when he saw the full table.

At this moment, the doors and windows were closed tightly for a while, and even the places that could see through were blocked by people with objects. Ji Chongyu was in shock, but he saw Ji Chonglian turning around from behind the screen holding something Coming out, six slender red candles were shining in the darkness, and Ji Zhonglian's pleasant voice sounded slowly.

"Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you!"

The singing voice was melodious and graceful, with ups and downs. Although there were only a few short lyrics, Ji Chongyu felt joy from the bottom of his heart. He rushed over and caught the peachwood tray in Ji Chonglian's hand. Only then did he see clearly that there was a A piece of dough the size of a washbasin, said the dim sum is too big, said it is white flour steamed buns, it seems that it is not the same thing.

"Sister, what is this?"

There were still six bright red candles sticking out, Ji Chongyu was also confused.

"This is a birthday cake, and my sister will make it for you every year!"

Ji Chonglian looked excited, the candlelight illuminated her face, her eyes were shining brightly, and there was an unspeakable beauty of beauty.

"Close your eyes and make a wish, then blow out the candle in one breath!"

Ji Chongyu said "Oh", and Ji Chonglian blew out all the candles with one command and one movement.

At this time, Bi Yuan and Hong Ying also quickly opened the doors and windows, removed some objects that blocked the light, and the main room was bright again.

The two siblings cut the cake and shared a piece for each of them. Although the birthday cake didn't look very good, it had a special taste in the mouth. At least Ji Chonglian saw Ji Chongyu eat it with gusto.

"Brother Yu, you blow out the candles too fast, have you made your wish?"

Ji Chonglian just asked casually, but Ji Chongyu answered seriously, "Naturally, I made a promise. My wish is to study hard and get a good reputation. In the future, I will not let my sister suffer any more hardships, and become a man of indomitable spirit!"

Ji Chonglian was stunned, her eyes suddenly turned red.

On May [-]th, the patriarch's [-]th birthday, the Ji family was also invited.

This was the first time that the Ji family showed their faces in Danyang's social circle, and it was of great significance. No matter men, women or children, they were busy with enthusiasm.

The eldest wife invited the most famous "Yu Qingfang" embroiderer in Danyang to come to her home to tailor clothes for several girls. Although they usually sew clothes by themselves in each house, it is still feasible for home clothes. After all, it is not as good as real manual dexterity The embroidered ladies of the past, after such a dress up, everyone looked a little bit more energetic.

In the early morning of May [-]th, the carriage was waiting outside Ji's house, and the wives and girls changed into sedan chairs at the second gate and got into the carriage one by one.

Ji Chongyu and Ji Chongtian followed Ji Mingxuan, and when the time came, the men would stay in the front yard, so they couldn't ride in the same car with Ji Chonglian.

The third wife took Ji Youlan and the two girls from the fourth room to squeeze into the same car, while the eldest wife took Ji Furong and Ji Haitang to the same car.

The carriage is not spacious, it looks a bit cramped with four masters and a few maids, Ji Ziwei's impatient gaze has already turned to the third wife and Ji Youlan.

Originally, she was already unhappy in the car with Ji Chonglian, but she didn't expect the eldest wife to force the third wife and Ji Youlan into their car.

The third wife is also, with such a weak temperament, Aunt Zeng in the room is more powerful than her, no matter how you encounter this kind of thing, you have to fight for it. It's still the wife of the first room, and Ji Ziwei will stand for her feel ashamed.

Ji Youlan was a little nervous, so she naturally couldn't notice Ji Ziwei's expression. At this moment, she had already pulled Ji Chonglian aside to talk enthusiastically, "Fifth sister, you won't come to play with me for a few days. My embroidered handkerchief I’m tired of looking at the designs and colors, and you can draw some more for me when you have time!”

Ji Chonglian nodded, and joked with a smile: "Third sister is just trying to make something new, so I'll send you one tomorrow. I'm afraid you won't like it for a few days before you'll get tired of it."

"Where is it?"

Ji Youlan was a little embarrassed and said with a smile: "The fancy looks you gave me are more novel than the outside ones. I will send some to the sisters of my grandfather's family. Everyone agrees!"

The third wife, Yao Shi, has been sitting beside her all the time, not saying a word, she seems to be accustomed to Ji Youlan's temperament, and there is a kind of superficial indifference on her face.
