As soon as Ji Nianjin followed his father into the Yaoxi Hall, Mei Shi stood up from the chair, stirred the handkerchief in his hand, his eyes were moist, and he was looking at Ji Yunlian excitedly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The second and third wives in the house had already avoided in the east room, and only the girls in each room were asking Ji Yunlian for peace.

After the room finally quieted down, Ji Yunlian bowed in front of Li's body, Mei and Ji Nianjin also knelt down, and Dafang saluted together.

Li raised his eyebrows with a smile and asked with concern:

"The prince is finally back, and this trip is still going well? Well, I see, it's a lot thinner than before I left home, and it can be seen that I haven't eaten and slept well outside, which is not as reliable as people in the past. ”

Li Shici smiled warmly, and a few words of concern made Ji Yunlian feel grateful again and again, and hurriedly replied:

"Back to the mother's words, the son has already handed over the errand and recovered his life, so he hurried home, let the mother worry, is the son's is not, I don't know that the son is away from home for a while, the mother is in good health, and the mother takes care of Mei's on behalf of the mother, so that the mother has worked hard."

Ji Yunlian said respectfully, and helped Mei up.

"Okay, it's all right, everything is fine at home, Mei is a docile person, she comes to me every day when she is pregnant, and even Jin'er knows that she wants to be filial to my grandmother, so the son can rest assured." Have you ever seen your father from the front yard? ”

The Li family will be a kind old lady, Ji Nianjin is under her head, her face is still the deference that a junior should have, but she is already very angry in her heart.

In the previous life, in front of his father, the Li family was the old lady of the Hou Mansion praised by everyone, and whoever saw it felt that the Li family was kind and kind, and he was kind to the juniors, and he treated the big house and the second and third rooms equally.

But when the father is not around, although he will not know what to do to his mother, but every time he is in words and even some small things, he is squeezing the big house everywhere, although the mother is angry in her heart, but according to filial piety, the mother always endures, because if you confess two sentences, you must get the sarcasm in and out of Li's words.

In this life, the Li family is still like this, but she is different.

"The son has already seen his father, because his mother's birthday is coming soon, he brought back a few gifts from Changzhou, and his mother smiled, which is also the son's heart."

Ji Yunlian personally took the fragrant tea in the maid's hand and put it on the small table beside Li.

"You have a heart, just come back, where do you need to bring something? Mother's birthday is not lacking anything, and she brought it all the way back, and it makes you feel a little sad.

You've been out for more than a month, and you're okay? Mei is worried about you all day long, afraid that you will not eat well and wear badly, I always ask me to send someone out to inquire a few times a day, I said that Changzhou is hundreds of miles away from the capital, and you are going on a business trip, so you don't have to make people laugh at our Fu'an Hou Mansion rampant, you see, I finally look forward to you back. ”

Li joked, and his words made Mei's face flush.

Ji Yunlian glanced sideways at Mei's, and only smiled and said to Li's:

"Mother, in this Hou Mansion, you are the backer, Mei's knowledge is shallow, and you still need your mother to give more money, and your son has thanked her mother on Mei's behalf. And these gifts, the mother should only be happy, the mother is happy in her heart, and it can be regarded as a piece of filial piety for her son. ”

Ji Nianjin listened to his father's words back to the Li family, and suddenly felt that his father might not be as stupid and filial as he thought in his previous life.

Father's words clearly flattered the Li family, but in fact exonerated the Mei family, if the Li family was concerned with the Mei family because of this, it would seem that she, the old lady of the Hou Mansion, was a mother, and she didn't know how to care about her son.

Ji Nianjin almost applauded her father in her heart, this was the first time she had seen her father like this.

It's just that in this life, because of the safe return of his father, there have been many changes in the Li family's birthday, in the previous life, his father's new funeral, the Hou Mansion was immersed in a sadness, and the Li family never had a birthday at all.

Mei Shi didn't speak, just looked at Ji Yunlian with a pair of eyes, polite and polite, what Ji Yunlian said, what she should do, there was no objection at all.

Li took a sip of hot tea, just as there was a mother-in-law outside the door to report.

"The things that the prince brought back from Changzhou are already waiting outside the door, is this going to be brought in?"

Li nodded, and Mo Ju came out of the middle room, and after a while, two large red lacquered Nanmu boxes were carried in by several mothers-in-law.

Waiting for the box to be put down, Mo Ju commanded a few little girls to open the box in turn.

"Ah, old lady, what is this, the slaves have never seen it."

Mo Ju said, picked out an object more than two feet high from the box, held it in both hands, and sent it to the Li family.

Ji Nianjin looked at it carefully, but felt that the object was a little familiar.

Because Mo Ju had her back to her, she only saw the back of the thing.

A whole piece of rosewood, the back carved into the peach festival of the Queen Mother of the West Heaven, the strange thing is that the various immortals are alive not to mention, not to mention, even more, the plate of peach in front of each immortal, but it seems to be really put on the general, not carved from the dead.

Ji Nianjin said that it is familiar, because in the previous life, the fool of the Qingbei Hou Mansion liked this ornament very much, and more than once took down the peach on it and hid it in his purse, whenever the maids found that the peach on it was missing, they searched all over the house, and the prince would always laugh and clap his hands, he only thought that this was the maids and he was playing a game.

The maids were all terrified, for no other reason, for the ornament was not only carved from a single piece of rosewood, but also because the front of the ornament was inlaid with a single piece of red coral.

Red coral is extremely rare, not to mention a piece of red coral two feet high, ruddy luster, clear texture, was carved into the shape of the five sons to worship the birthday, originally it was a birthday gift to Mrs. Hou of Qingbei, because the fool saw that the peach on the back could be taken down, so he had to hold it in his arms and refused to let go, Mrs. Hou spoiled it, so she had to give it to him.

The rosewood statue on the back is a shelf, which sets off the red coral carving on the front, and the two are combined in one place, which is very valuable, and it is really rare in the world.

The fool Shizi regarded such a valuable ornament as a plaything, and always liked to play alone for a long time, and if he found that something was missing, the Shizi would not be good, but those who followed and served would be unlucky.

Therefore, Ji Nianjin eagerly followed the maids all over the house every time, and the helpless and worried mood surrounded her for a long time.

When she thinks about it now, her heart is still a little cold.

"Well, it's a strange thing, but I don't know where the prince got such a treasure, I'm afraid it's expensive, right?"

Li Shi looked at the hand of Mo Ju carefully, the red coral in front of him was bright in color and transparent in texture, and he knew that it was a precious thing at a glance, and it was carved into the pattern of five sons worshipping his birthday, Li liked it in his heart.

"Mother, this shelf is carved with a whole piece of rosewood, and it is engraved with a peach festival, not only the gods and goddesses are vivid, but the peach in the plate can be removed, which is a clever thing. On the front, there is a whole piece of red coral carving, in the entire Dakang Dynasty, I can't find a few pieces, plus it is the auspicious pattern of the five sons' birthdays, and the son thinks that it is the best to use as a birthday gift for his mother. ”

Ji Yunlian briefly introduced this ornament, and as soon as his words fell, there was a faint sound of inhalation in the east room, although it was stopped in time, but the shaking bead curtain still showed that Ji Nianjin had heard correctly.

Come to think of it, Xiao Li's eyes are hot.
