When he arrived at home, he found that even the painted peony silk yarn square palace lamp hanging outside the mansion had been replaced, and a small guy set up a ladder to replace the white lantern, Seeing him come over and salute busily, tears rolled down from his eyes as he spoke, "Childe is back, madam, madam......"

"Where's Daddy?" Ji Yan had calmed down by this point.

"Today's 15th National Congress, Lang Jun has not come back yet, and he has already sent Zhan Lu to report the news. For a while, the housekeeper Lu Ting came up first, he had already changed into a plain clothes, his eyes were red and swollen, and he rarely cried once.

"What about Ah Miao?" he walked into the house, while asking, people have always been male and female protagonists, although Ji Yan is studying in the country, but he is really not clear about the funeral, but he came all the way to see the subordinates, and he knew that it should be his sister Ji Miao's means.

"The lady is in the back hugging the head of the building, and she has already combed and dressed her hair with Sango, and now she is taking the ladies to clean up Xuanmingtang and make a place for Mrs. to rest. Lu Ting said that he couldn't stop choking up here, "As for those who go to various places to report their funerals and go to Qintian Prison to ask for a day, they have all been arranged." ”

As early as when he entered the house, a small servant opened the treasury and took the mourning clothes, and at this time, Ji Yan changed his clothes in the flower hall on the side, picked up the accessories on his body cleanly, and changed into a light silver crown before going to Xuanming Hall.

In the Xuanming Hall, curtains, paper money, gold and silver ingots, etc. are all available, personnel exchanges, and all kinds of things are gathered together, but they seem to be in order. Ji Yan first invited a stick of incense to offer here, and then took a look at his mother's remains through the light lamp behind the curtain, and wanted to cry when he came, but he remembered that his father had not come back yet, so he had to stand up first, so he hurriedly kowtowed three heads to Shen's bed, and wanted to find Ji Miao, and he didn't know where his sister was, so he called a little maid, only to know that his sister was in the flower hall next to him.

The small flower hall in the east of Xuanming Hall is not big, there is a high couch under the back window, the weather is cold in winter and the white cashmere felt is spread on the couch, and the flower hall is not equipped with a dragon, just a charcoal basin is lit in the four corners of the house, Ji Miao kneels on the couch in a vegetarian body, combs a lily bun with long hair, and the red rope that ties the hair is replaced with a white cloth strip, and inserts a few silver hairpins with ruyi cloud patterns, that is, even the earrings are replaced with jade carved roses.

In front of her, there was a long case of rosewood, on which there were all kinds of pairs of cards, many mothers-in-law, maids and maids asked for instructions, and when they saw him coming, they were busy saluting one by one, avoiding it.

"Ah Miao. As soon as the brother and sister met, as soon as the words fell, they both burst into tears.

"Brother. Ji Miao got up early this morning to ask for peace to the Shen family, and when she arrived at the door, she saw several mothers-in-law moving embroidery piers and sitting under the porch to draw patterns, saying that she had not heard her mother get up to call them, and she felt strange in her heart. I asked a few girls who followed, only to know that yesterday my mother went to Liu Shangshu's house to enjoy plum blossoms, and when I came back yesterday, my face was not very good, and I thought that I had something in my heart and slept unsteadily.

Because of her menarche in the past few days, she did not follow her mother, and she did not follow her grandmother, but her mother temporarily sent coral to her, so anxious to spend the most important moment in the woman's life, she waited until her body was clean today to say hello to her mother, but she ate a closed door, but she also knew that her mother was the most self-denying person, that is, in the past, she was tired up and down the New Year, and she never got up in the morning and evening, so she stood at the door and waited for a quarter of an hour, seeing that there was no movement when the hour had passed, she couldn't help it, and discussed with Coral whether it was because her mother was sick and unable to summon people, is to call the stout woman to slam the door open.

Before she had time to enter the inner room, she saw the letter on the dresser at a glance, opened it and glanced at it roughly, but it was Shen's masterpiece, only saying that because of the reconciliation with Xiahou more than 20 years ago, the Ji family and the Xiahou family had a discord, and because of the divorce to sue Xiahou Jue, the marriage of several little ladies and Xiaolangjun of the Xiahou family was not smooth, and more than 20 years later, it caused trouble for the Ji family, causing the Ji family to almost suffer injustice. As the daughter-in-law of the Ji family, not only could she not add color to the Ji family, but caused many turmoil in the flat land of the Ji family, so she failed Ji Yan's sincerity, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt guilty, so she simply swallowed gold and committed suicide.

When Ji Miao saw it, she felt that her heart was beating like thunder, and she took the letter in her arms, entered the inner room, turned the screen, and saw that Shen had changed into a new set of clothes, lying flat on the bed, and her body was cold.

At that moment, Ji Miao only felt that the whole person seemed to be submerged in ice water, the cold to the bone taught her that even her tongue seemed to be frozen, and she couldn't say a word, before today, she thought she was the happiest little lady in the entire Chang'an City, her mother was strict, her father was gentle, her brother responded to his needs, and he passed the threshold of growth, it was the time to prepare to go out of the cabinet, it was the time when the Ji family's old house was imprisoned a few days ago, and her father sighed in the study when she was still a carefree little lady, and then the innocence of the Ji family came, and her cousin Ji Rin was appointed as the governor of Jinzhou and won the title of the second-grade protector general, she thought that the dark clouds hanging over their family heads finally dispersed, but she didn't expect to suffer the most painful result when she was the happiest.

For a moment, she thought that her mother was joking with her, she even wanted to go up and grab her mother's sleeve and be coquettish, begging her to wake up quickly, not to sleep all the time, which made her feel scared, but she closed her eyes and opened them again, her mother was still lying cold, and even laughing seemed stingy, and at this time her father was in the court, and her brother went to the outskirts of the city early in the morning, and she was the only one who could support the huge Ji house, at that time she told herself that if even she panicked, the whole house would be in chaos, she was carefully raised by her mother, and her mother could do what half of the women in the world could not, and now she can。

Therefore, she first ordered Coral to find the records of the past white things in the mansion, and asked the mother-in-law who had accumulated a few years, and began to act step by step according to the old customs. After changing her mother's clothes, she sent Coral to report to the Ji family's ancestral house, while telling Coral to ask her aunt to send a familiar grandmother to help, the other party is now pregnant, not to be alarmed, and at the same time, considering that the grandmother is old, it is better to hide it first.

Seeing that the coral was gone, she ordered the housekeeper to take the right cards, and she was the director in the Xuanming Hall, and in the past she followed her mother to preside over the feed, everything was pressed by her mother, and everything flowed smoothly, and now she was left alone, and it was inevitable that there would be a big heart of slaves and maids to bully her young, so she also had a straight face, and ordered the housekeeper to pass on the courtyard, and dragged it straight to the yard to hit the board, and finally killed the chicken and set an example for the monkey and no one dared to underestimate her, but she knew that the first heart under the appearance was empty and floating in the air, and even she listened to someone talking about her, saying that the second lady was afraid that Su Rili had resentment towards Mrs., otherwise she was born cold-hearted, otherwise, why wouldn't even tears fall when my mother died?

Now seeing her brother coming, she couldn't hold back any longer, and immediately threw herself into Ji Yan's arms and cried bitterly.

"Ah Miao, I see you're doing a good job. Reaching out and touching his sister's soft hair, Ji Yan only hated himself for why he didn't run faster, and let Miao Niang, his sister who had been holding in the palm of his hand since childhood, support him alone for a long time!

When Ji Miao was born, Ji Yan was already six years old. He began to study at the age of five, and one day when he came back from school, he went back to the inner courtyard, and saw that the maid was even smiling at the mother-in-law who swept the floor. He remembered that at that time, his father squatted down and told him seriously that he had become an adult since he entered school, and that he should no longer be as reckless as before, and now that their family was going to add a new mouth, he was going to be a brother. At that time, he vigorously asked his father whether the doll in A-Niang's belly was a little lang or a little lady, and Ji Yan fooled him, it all depends on the extent to which he prayed sincerely as an elder brother, if he wanted his sister to be steady from now on, not too jumpy, otherwise his sister would only be a younger brother if she was timid.

At that time, a friend of his classmate happened to have a sister, and when they came to congratulate him during the day, he followed his classmate and secretly looked, it was a fragrant and soft little girl, and he wanted a sister from then on.

And now seeing that his wish may come true, Ji Yan doesn't mention how excited he is, but he keeps in mind his father's words, and from that day on, he has learned from his cousin to be a steady Langjun, so he looks forward to it day and night.

When his mother gave birth, he waited outside the delivery room with his father, and the old servant of the family said that he was too young to see, but he struggled to stay, first, he was worried that his mother would have to see it with his own eyes to rest assured, and second, he was worried that now that people are coming and going, what if his sister is frightened and can't come out? In the past, after he finished his homework every day, he must have said something to his mother's stomach for a long time, and his sister must have been familiar with his voice and his breath, and now he is standing in the closest seat to his mother, and his sister must be able to feel it and not feel afraid.

Ji Yan is a person who is not bound by etiquette, how can he care whether Ji Yan is leaving or staying, he himself can't wait to rush into the delivery room to guard the Shen family, and seeing that his son is not afraid, he stretched out his hand to hold him, and the father and son stood side by side outside the delivery room, from the most open to the point of being unconscious.

In the early morning of the second day, when the morning sun broke through the clouds, and the magnolia flowers in the yard all bloomed overnight, they finally heard the baby's cry from the delivery room, and waited for the mother to come out with a child in her arms, he and his father were busy catching up, he saw a baby with red and wrinkled body on his feet, which was not at all the same as his white, fat, fragrant and soft sister he imagined, but at that time he only had one thought- Although his sister is not good-looking, she is also his sister, and he must protect her and not let her suffer a little grievance!
