Chapter 92: Enthusiasm or Hypocrisy (The Four Watches Promised)

Not long after the sedan chair went forward, a mother-in-law kindly reminded her outside the sedan chair, "Seven ladies, it's time to the old lady's yard." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”

The person in the sedan chair answered, and the sedan chair fell down steadily.

There are more mothers-in-law and girls in this yard, and when they saw someone, they hurriedly entered the house to greet them. The fourth aunt who had been following Ji Qi opened the sedan curtain, and Qianying had already reached out to help the person out.

"Miss, slow down."

"Miss, there are steps here."

Qianying reminded carefully, holding her hand and keeping her eyes on the ground.

Ji Qi was as pale as usual, with just the right smile, and followed behind the fourth aunt.

The fourth aunt stopped talking, but frowned slightly, muttering in her heart to complain about Qianying.

How many girls who don't know the landscape don't have the knowledge of their eyes? Haven't you seen the big world? There was an endless stream of chattering along the way.

The group came to the old lady's door with great joy, and the girl opened the curtain for others. Ji Qi blessed herself and followed the fourth aunt into the house.

The girls in the house saw the person who came, and hurriedly saluted the two, the voice was soothing, and people couldn't help but feel happy when they heard it, "The fourth aunt, the seventh lady, and the old lady have been waiting for a long time." ”

The fourth aunt smiled and said "eh", and had already led people to the back room.

The inner room was open and extremely spacious, and an old lady sat on the main seat, with a kind face, and when she saw someone coming, she hurriedly asked someone to help her up, and walked a few steps forward, "You are finally back." ”

"Grandma." Ji Qi raised his feet and hurried a few steps to meet him, and was grabbed by Mrs. Du's hand. She hurriedly bent her knees and blessed her, "Qi'er has seen her grandmother." ”

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back." Mrs. Du took her hand and patted it uncontrollably, her eyes were a little red, "I haven't seen you for so many years, I didn't expect goodbye to be such a scene." ”

"Is your house okay now?"

Ji Qi nodded, "Everything is fine, my brother became my father's brocade guard, and was directly promoted by His Majesty to make a small flag." He asked me to bring a message to my grandmother, saying that there were many tasks in Beizhen Fusi, and it was inconvenient to come over to ask my grandmother for peace, and he hoped that my grandmother would not be blamed. ”

Seeing her sincerity, Mrs. Du nodded her head in approval, "I still think that I am a good boy." She took Ji Qi's hand and said, "Let grandma take a good look." ”

A woman beside her spoke: "Old lady, look, this child looks so much like the sophomore lady, it is simply carved out of a mold." ”

"Not really." Mrs. Du nodded, very satisfied. Thinking of something again, he introduced Ji Qi: "This is your eldest aunt." ”

Ji Qi turned to Mrs. Du, soft and gentle: "Good uncle." ”

"Okay, okay." Mrs. Du helped Ji Qi up, and introduced: "Your eldest uncle is still on a bad job, you can go to worship him later, your second uncle is not in Yanjing now, but the third uncle is still there, but he has recently been on official business, and you can see him later." ”

As she spoke, she helped Mrs. Du to sit back on the main seat, and the clever girl next to her immediately attached a cushion to the ground.

Ji Qi saw that Mrs. Du had already covered her hands and stood beside Mrs. Du, so she bowed down and knelt down to give a big salute to Mrs. Du, "Ji Qi greets Mrs. Du." ”

"Okay, okay." The old lady raised her hand, and Qianying behind her didn't dare to make a sound, so she hurriedly helped Ji Qi up.

At this time, Mrs. Du looked around the room strangely, and asked a little angrily, "What about the sixth lady and the tenth lady?" ”

Mrs. Du glanced at the person standing behind her, and replied to Mrs. Du: "How did the old lady forget, today the sixth lady wants to learn calligraphy, and the tenth lady is learning to embroider the girl." ”

"yes, yes." Someone behind him took a step forward and said respectfully to Mrs. Du: "Shi Niangzi was still thinking about it in the morning, and said that she would finish her studies quickly, so that she could meet this cousin." ”

Ji Qi hung her head slightly, but did not speak, she guessed that this lady must not be from a high background, and she didn't have to be much older than the fourth aunt.

Sure enough, Mrs. Du introduced her: "Seventh lady, I forgot to tell you that this is the third aunt and the biological mother of the tenth lady." ”

"Ji Qi has seen the third aunt."

The third aunt seemed to be a little frightened, and hurriedly returned the half-salute, and said to Ji Qi: "The seventh lady is polite." ”

Mrs. Du looked a little unhappy, and instructed the girls beside her: "Nianyun, there are guests from afar at home, so you don't have to go to class today, call the girls." ”

Nianyun girl agreed, and went out with small steps.

Taking advantage of this time, Mrs. Du pulled Ji Qi to sit beside her, and said kindly: "You are a newcomer, you don't know anything, if there is anything in the future, just tell your eldest aunt, if you want anything, tell her." After that, you will live in Yulanyuan, which is not big, but fortunately, it is clean. ”

Ji Qi got up and thanked her, and listened to her obediently and softly about what happened to Mrs. Ji when she was a child.

Not long after, the curtain of the door was raised again, and a few crisp female voices came, and the atmosphere in the room relaxed suddenly, and the girls' originally stagnant faces added a little anger.

The woman who came in walked up to Mrs. Du and saluted, and then lied to Mrs. Du coquettishly, "Mother, what is a good thing today, you don't have to go to class?" ”

Mrs. Du's face was full of pampering, wiped the sweat from her sideburns, and said, "It's your cousin who is here." ”

As she spoke, she pointed to Ji Qi, who was sitting next to the old lady, and said, "This is the cousin I told you about." ”

When Mrs. Du spoke, she obviously didn't care about the other woman beside her, she kept her eyebrows down, well-behaved and clever, but a little no-no.

Ji Qi moved his brows slightly, and he had already come to the two of them.

"Cousin."

"Cousin."

The three of them saluted each other, and they knew who each other was.

Old Madam Du nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, okay, after a long journey, take the Seventh Lady to her own courtyard to freshen up and rest early." ”

Since she has a girl with herself, there are a few sweeping mothers-in-law in Yulan Courtyard, which is not a troublesome matter.

After sending Ji Qi away, the atmosphere in the room changed suddenly, and the warmth of Fang Cai was completely lost.

Mrs. Du straightened her body and said to Du Liuniang angrily: "You don't like Jinyiwei anymore, and you shouldn't show it on your face, who do you want to show it to when you pull such a long face?" ”

Du Liuniang pouted, but she didn't dare to refute, pulled the sleeve of Mrs. Ladu's coat and shrunk back.

Mrs. Du sighed lightly, and said to Mrs. Du with a smile: "Old lady, the matter of etiquette can be changed slowly in the future, and the key now is ...... What happened to the second sister-in-law's dowry. ”

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of everyone in the room fell on the fourth aunt.
