The porter of the Ji family's ancestral house is a lonely old man, who also went to the battlefield with Ji Rin's grandfather Ji Yao in his early years, and later broke a leg, and his family has been fighting for many years without news, so he stayed in the Ji family as a servant, and because of his strange temperament, he did not marry.

He was injured on the battlefield, with a hideous scar on his face, now that he is old, his skin and flesh are as loose as the bark of an aging tree, and he looks really terrifying, but the masters of the Ji family also respect him, and they all call him Ke Lao.

But he experienced a lot of things, at this time he saw a large group of people coming, and they looked embarrassed, among them there were guards, Gong'e, and people watching the excitement, even if they even carried a carriage with a wheel, he was not surprised, but slowly came over and sang: "The owner of the house here is the history of Jinju Thorn, but I don't know where the guests come from? ”

"Ke Lao, it's me. Ji Rin was happy when she saw him, and immediately walked up to him with a smile.

"It's the eldest prince!" The old man's face trembled with excitement for a while, if he was so timid, he was only afraid of crying in fright, but Ji Rin's face did not change, he was used to seeing more terrible wounds than this in the border pass for more than ten years, and he heard his father tell him about saving his grandfather on the battlefield before, and he respected him more and more, but quickly stepped forward to help him, and did not wait for the old man to salute.

He also asked Ke Lao to tell his father, but he was unfilial and came back with his friends, and met nobles along the way, so he borrowed a place in the house to rest and recuperate. ”

"Wow. Ke Lao really turned around and went back to the door.

After a while, the middle door was opened from the inside, and a group of small maids and mothers-in-law all greeted her, the first one was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, wearing a goose yellow collared middle coat, wearing a long silk coat made of water blue, and her long hair was combed into an inclined fallen horse bun, with a small phoenix hairpin and a few velvet flowers, but she was born with beautiful eyes and far-reaching, and her temperament was not worse than that of ordinary official girls.

"The eldest prince is back?" she pursed her lips and smiled when she saw Ji Rin, and the indescribable intimacy and softness in her tone.

"Grandmother is in good health?" Ji Rin glanced at her and frowned slightly.

Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, even if the Ji family is upright, Ji Rin's grandfather Ji Yao married the eldest daughter of Jingguo Gong Xu in his early years, Jingguo Gong's house is complicated, Xu is Jing Guogong's original match Zhang's out, and later his biological mother Zhang died of dystocia, and even the boy in the womb did not survive, Jing Guogong married Zhang's sister-in-law as the stepfamily, known as Xiao Zhang.

Xiao Zhang's family gave birth to a son-in-law after three years, and Jing Guogong's cousin's fiancé died again, Jing Guogong's mother took the initiative to raise her cousin as a concubine, and gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses in less than a year, so the Xu family in front of her was more and more unvalued by her father.

When she was married, she also relied on her grandfather to agree with Ji Yao, but due to the influence of the environment of the mansion, when she was pregnant with Ji Can, she pushed her close-fitting girl onto her husband's bed while Ji Yao was drunk, which is also Ji Yao's only concubine in this life, Aunt Mei.

At that time, Ji Yao was young and vigorous, and the newlywed Yan'er was full of heart and eyes and only pretended to be Xu, but his wife not only didn't trust him, but used such a method to chill his heart for a moment.

At that time, the old lady saw that her daughter-in-law was a faint person, so she didn't expect her to be a housekeeper, and she also took her grandson to her side to raise her.

In this way, it took another eight years for Ji Yan to be born, only this time the Xu family sprouted again, and the originally relaxed relationship between husband and wife fell into an impasse again, and soon after Aunt Mei sent a pregnancy letter, Xu regretted it at this time.

Seeing that her husband was becoming more and more kind to Aunt Mei, and when Xu's heart was angry, he listened to the words of the nurse next to him and shot when Aunt Mei was seven months old, but Aunt Mei did not open her eyes after giving birth hemorrhage.

Ji Yao found out the truth, and in a fit of rage, he killed Xu's grandmother, and opened the ancestral hall to record the daughter who cried like a kitten in July.

In the following months, he handed over the baby lady and Ji Yan, who was already one year old, to his mother, even if Xu cried and made a fuss, he did not change his determination.

Originally, Ji Can still remembered his mother, but most of the men of the Ji family were silent, and he would not express his concern for his mother verbally, but was thought by the Xu family to be raised by his mother-in-law and separated from him, and the mother and son gradually drifted apart, and when Ji Yan was born, he saw that his mother neglected to take care of his younger brother for an aunt, and the eight-year-old child completely extinguished his longing for his mother in his heart, so that Ji Yan, who was taken care of by his brother and grew up, was not close to his mother Xu.

When Aunt Mei's matter came out, Ji Can felt a little indebted to this little and weak sister, and even taught her younger brother to love her sister more, so she developed Ji's simple temperament.

When Ji Can reached the age of marriage, this time Ji Yao discussed with Lao Taijun and directly booked the eldest daughter of the Liang family, who was born in Yuezhou, Liang, and waited for the granddaughter-in-law to pass through the door, and the old Taijun handed over the family feed directly to the granddaughter-in-law. In order to worry that the Xu family would do something difficult for several children through filial piety in the future, as soon as the old lady died, Ji Yao handed over the position of patriarch to Ji Can, and went home to be a gentleman in the clan, and the Liang family also directly bypassed her mother-in-law to take over the duties of the Ji family's grandmother.

Seeing that her son can't make up her mind, Xu wants to reach out to her grandson, she may just want to make up for the unfamiliar mother-son relationship, just because in recent years it has become more and more extreme, and the means are more or less not very bright, Ji Can left his wife and children in the capital in anger, and he abandoned the martial arts from the last few of the second class in the text, and sent the official to take Xu with Xu by his side to say that he was serving his mother, and waited until Ji Rin was eight years old and moved to the outer courtyard before returning to Jinzhou to serve as the assassin history, who expected that it coincided with the Northern Wei Dynasty, the sage ordered him to concurrently serve as the Jinzhou assassin and the state pastor, the husband and wife separated again, and then met Ji Yao died of illness, so the husband and wife were married for 23 years before a young son was born。

Liang is different from ordinary women, she is proficient in the law, and has a natural intuition in prison litigation and knowing people, so as soon as she meets, she knows what kind of character her mother-in-law is, and after discussing with her husband, she does not avoid the affairs of the elders like ordinary families, but breaks it up and tells Ji Rin, because she knows how unpredictable the human heart is, and no matter how careful the protection from the elders may be negligent, it is better to teach the child to learn to protect himself It is more reliable.

Seeing that Ji Rin is getting older and older, Xu sadly found that her grandson was born to be right with her son like her son, not only can she not do anything to the noble eldest daughter-in-law, but she also can't control the second daughter-in-law who was born in a business, and even the little lang and the little lady in the family are not close to themselves under the influence of the elders, and then she was angry when she heard that the eldest son had set a girl from the Jiang family for the eldest grandson, but when she inquired about the girl's parents and only one of her brother-in-law lived with her uncle, she actually had a twisted happiness in her heart.

After that, her husband, who had been cold for many years, passed away, and the Yuan Niang of the Jiang family was sixteen years old and had not yet married, so she moved her mind to pick up a little lady surnamed Xu with the small character Yingke from the already down-and-out Jingguo family, and prepared to marry Ji Rin as a concubine.

This Xu Niang's identity in Ji's mansion is embarrassing, although she is a guest girl under Xu's orders, but after she comes, all the food and clothing in Xu's house are taken care of by her, which is quite a bit of a big girl.

In addition, the housewife did not speak, and the servants of the family stayed away from her. It's been a long time, this girl is also old, if she was a little reluctant to marry Ji Rin as a concubine in the past, but now her heart is tied to Ji Rin, so the report of the people in the first hall coincided with Xu's nap, so she took someone out to greet her without permission.

"The old slave has seen the eldest son. After waiting for a while, another mother-in-law wearing a long gown with ginger multicolored auspicious patterns and a duck egg green horse face skirt led a group of mothers-in-law and a few small servants over, and they first saluted Ji Rin and Pingling Yuren.

"Mama Xin. Ji Rin softened a little when she saw her coming, "What about my father and mother?

Lang Jun took Aunt Chen's post and went to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city to hunt, yesterday Mrs. received the message from the palace, and entered the palace early this morning to meet the queen. Mama Xin smiled lovingly, "But let the eldest prince guess, the younger prince is taking a nap in the lady's yard at this moment." ”

"In the carriage is Princess Huayang, her horse is shocked, you take someone to welcome her to the guest room, while taking the post in the house to ask the imperial doctor, I will take my friend to my yard, and when you are properly settled, I will come to report to me. Ji Rin smiled when she heard her brother on his sleeping face.

"Wow. This Mama Xin really took a few stout little maids to carry the carriage into the inner courtyard and put it down and changed to four mothers-in-law to carry the soft sedan chair, and then asked Mama Wang to wait for the princess to get off the car and change the soft sedan chair, all the way to the guest house, there were already a group of mothers-in-law who changed the tent, yarn and mandarin pillows, and lit the soothing incense of agarwood, and then hugged the princess in, and the doctor rushed over to see the princess's injury.

And Ji Rin first asked Ke Lao to send Pingling Yu to his own courtyard, and he followed the housekeeper to greet a group of guards to settle down in the front yard, and first served tea and snacks to entertain him attentively.

Ji Rin talked a few words with the leading school guards, first invited the doctor in the palace to take care of the injured sergeant for them, and then ordered someone to report to the palace.

After waiting for things to send Princess Huayang away, he returned to the Evergreen Courtyard where he lived, but saw the frost falling under the porch watching the cats and dogs fighting, and Han Zheng boxing in the open space on the side.

"Where's the light boat?" Ji Rin was amused for a moment when he saw that they didn't look like they were drunk and sleepy.

"Sir is sitting in it. "The cats and dogs raised in Ji Rin's yard are not raised by him, but raised by the Liang family to relieve boredom, he has always been filial to his mother, and these cats and dogs are also tolerant, and now Ah Ji is still young and lives in Liang's yard, these cats and dogs are raised in his yard, and his yard is wide, and these small things can also move.

Ji Rin listened for a while and walked in, and saw that under the window directly to the west, Pingling Yu was holding the table with one hand and his chin with the other, leaning against the window lattice and falling asleep.

Ji Rin was hit by the other party's soft appearance, and involuntarily leaned over and bent down to pick up the sleeping person and place him on the soft couch in the east room, and saw that he only turned his head and did not wake up, but changed his position and slept sweetly, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after watching for a long time, only to feel sleepy, so he took off his robe and leaned over to pull the quilt, and the two fell asleep side by side side with their heads for a while.
