At the same time, Ji Bai also got up early, only slept for two hours, and had an abnormal headache when he first got up, so he applied a handkerchief to his face with cold water, drank a bowl of porridge, and then boarded the carriage and headed towards Ji Mansion.

Jifu and Zaoyuan are one east and one north, and Zaoyuan is on the periphery of Jinling City, and you need to cross most of the city to get to Jifu.

It stands to reason that the Ji family has not been separated, and Ji Bai has not yet married, so there should be no private house, but Ji Bai is in charge of the Ji family's affairs, and he has the final say in dozens of businesses and thousands of shops.

Let's talk about the Ji family, just say that the Ji family's east mansion, the second room of the big house is the heir, the big house official to the Zhongshu Order, the Zhongshu Order is to help the emperor deal with government affairs in the palace, the responsibility is heavy and the power is also very large, the big house and the family are all living in the capital, and they have been the big house Ji Mingde is the first to look forward.

The second room, the official to the governor of Wancheng, is also a big official, and only the wife of the second room in the house has a few children in the Ji Mansion.

Sanfang is a concubine, and he is also an official in other places, and only the wife of Sanfang stays in Jifu and the child is in Jifu, and she is called her name and filial piety to the old lady.

Four rooms, concubines, when the old lady of Jifu was alive, she doted on this concubine son the most, so that as soon as the old lady died, the old lady bought an official for the fourth master who could only read, and sent the family out from afar.

The fifth room is Ji Bai, who is in charge of Ji's mansion, and has not yet married a wife and had children.

The six rooms are all concubines, and the six masters are still young, just married, and are still trying to take the exam.

This is only the number of big houses in the Ji family's East Mansion, not counting the many married daughters, and the masters alone are more than a hundred or ten.

There are also two bedrooms and three bedrooms in Jifu, etc., which are people of the same generation as Mrs. Li, not to mention these.

The Ji Mansion covers an area as long as a street and is divided into two parts, with the Ji Family's East Mansion accounting for more than one-third.

In the carriage, someone was talking in a low voice, "The third master came back two days ago, and he brought back three concubines, two sons and a daughter, and the things were transported back to a boat, saying that it was filial to the old lady, among which there was a jade carved Buddha statue, which was held in front of the old lady's eyes, and the old lady didn't like it at the time, saying that he was only one or two thousand silver for a year, and he really shouldn't give such a heavy gift." ”

After a pause, the beautiful woman kneeling in the carriage took out a handkerchief and pressed the corner of her mouth, and sighed, "The third lady's face collapsed at that time, complaining that the third master would not buy things, and she spent tens of thousands of taels of silver and failed to make the old lady happy." ”

"Hmm," Ji Bai hummed softly and motioned for her to continue.

"The fourth old man came back yesterday, and dozens of members of the family came back, and when he entered the door, he hugged the old lady's legs, saying that he was worried about the old lady day and night, and he cried a lot, and pulled back the small half of the boat's things, all of which were fabric specialties, and he was crying poor in and out of the words.

There is also Concubine Chen, who gave back something half a month ago, and sent a letter to the family, along with the eleventh prince and the tenth prince, these days there are uncles and a few young masters to have fun with. ”

The beautiful woman took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes, and her eyes were red, "I heard that you were kidnapped three months ago, the old lady didn't close her eyes for a few days and nights, and she didn't shed a tear in a daze, but she frightened everyone, and sent out to find you wave after wave, there was no news at all, the old man rushed back from the capital overnight, and I don't know what to say, the old lady was sick that night, the doctor said that it was a heart disease, and the servants didn't know the situation, nor did they know your safety, and they were in a hurry to die." ”

Speaking of this, the woman was already choked up, and she couldn't speak, so she leaned on Ji Bai's lap and cried quietly.

With a long sigh, Ji Bai touched the woman's head.

"Sister Chengbi, don't cry, I haven't slept all night, I have a headache, you cry and let other sisters see it later, and I think what's wrong with our master, I'm going to cry again, in fact, it's not a big deal, we will rescue him in two days."

"Also, you still have the face to say," Cheng Bi clenched his fists and hit Xi Yan, who would not comfort people.

"You have a lot of ability, you have so many people and let people hurt your master, what are you doing, the news is sent out one after another, and you can't go back, but you know what kind of people here are in a hurry, and which thief who killed a thousand knives is so bold as to hurt our master? Did you send him to the official? ”

Cheng Bi asked a lot in one breath, panting and glaring at the washing inkstone holding his head.

"This, this, this...... Sister Chengbi, why is she so spicy," Xi Yan covered his face and muttered in a low voice.

"You ......" The white slender fingers pointed at the inkstone, Cheng Bi's pretty face turned red, her body twisted and covered her face with her hands, and she cried again.

Xi Yan breathed a sigh of relief, he really wouldn't lie, and he faced his own people, and he would reveal his stuff if he couldn't say a few words.

Cheng Bi understood that she shouldn't cry like this, but she was frightened for a few months, hoping that the master would come back quickly, and saw that the master had lost a lot of weight and saw the wound on his body when he was waiting for the master to change his clothes last night, and he cried once at that time.

Cheng Bi regretted it for a while, cried for a while, then suppressed her voice, took out a wet handkerchief and wiped her face, and then talked about what happened when Ji Bai was not at home with a thick nasal voice.

After talking all the way, he stopped after entering the gate of Jifu.

After getting out of the carriage, Ji Bai went straight to the inner courtyard, and at this time, the sky had just been polished, and the door of the inner courtyard had just opened.

When the mother-in-law who watched the door saw the visitor, her eyes lit up and she exclaimed, and she trotted in to enter the ceremony.

was stopped by the inkstone, said a few words, and rewarded a piece of silver horn.

Ji Bai kept coming to the main room.

The girls who swept on the road were all happy, and they stopped doing their work, gathered together and whispered, stretching their necks to look at the main house.

The door of the main room was pushed open, and Ji Bai raised his feet and went in.

"Ah," someone exclaimed, "Fifth Master, you're back!" ”

Ji Bai smiled and nodded, "Is the old lady awake?" ”

The woman subconsciously covered her mouth, her head shook like a rattle, and her big eyes were full of tears, falling in a slump.

"Shhh," Ji Bai made a silent gesture to the other woman who was attracted by the exclamation, patted the crying woman's shoulder, and raised his foot to walk towards the inner room.

Before long, there was a cry in the inner room.

In the early morning of this day, Ji Bai was let go until he was struggling.

He was held by a woman with black hair and a dignified and beautiful face, sitting on the kang and talking.

"The son is not filial, which makes the mother worried," Ji Bai looked guilty and held the old lady's hand tightly and tightly.
