The Ji family is located in Yongning Street, adjacent to the Vermilion Bird Fang, where the clan relatives and nobles gather, and is mostly the residence of the military attachΓ© of Jiangmen. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Because he grew up in Zunyi Mansion since he was a child, Yan Guan has a close relationship with his second uncle's family, and he is a little unfamiliar with his uncle in Beijing.

The eldest aunt Yuan is a rigid and serious person, at least in Yan Guan's eyes.

She was being held in front of her by the Yuan family at the moment, and she rubbed her cheeks indistinctly in front of her, and she was not gentle in her heart, but she could only put on a well-behaved and obedient appearance, and she was very helpless.

Yuan touched his niece's little face and said to Ji: "Little sister, if you want me to say that your concubine's words are reasonable, look at Sister Guan'er is so old, some things can no longer be slack." This Yanjing City is not as good as other places, the girls in the famous family go out and ask all the poems and songs, and the needles and chisels are popular.

I understand that you feel sorry for your child, but you can't protect her for the rest of your life, right? This girl is a delicate guest raised by her side, sooner or later she is someone else's family, seeing that Sister Guan is about to become a big girl, this will be said in the future, if the husband asks her what she is good at, she can't tell others that she is riding a horse and archery, right? ”

Ji is a person who protects his shortcomings, and if this kind of words come from a few concubines or mothers-in-law in the house, she must have to distinguish a few words.

But at this time, it was her mother's sister-in-law who spoke, she really listened, and sighed when she heard the words: "Sister-in-law, I understand what you mean, but I just thought that my sister Guan would become someone else's family in the future, so I wanted to love her for a few more years." ”

She said waving to her daughter, Yan Wan saw this and hurriedly pushed her eldest aunt into her mother's arms, and her heart finally didn't have to be rubbed and touched.

Ji hugged his beloved daughter and said compassionately: "Alas, you can't think about this, you said that my daughter who was raised in the palm of my hand in October was conceived in October, and I will marry out to serve others in the future, and I will reluctantly learn those vain and good-faced things for their eyes, I am unwilling to think about it." ”

"How can you say that?" Yuan was amused by her sister-in-law's words, and said with a smile: "If you want to say this, will our sister Wan say that she will not say kiss in the future?" "It's a rare smile.

"I'm just saying that." Ji Shi continued, and then his face was solemn, "Sister-in-law, don't think I'm too careful, our lord is not born to the old lady after all, when I just passed the door a few years ago, the eldest master of the Yan family was still there, and it was my husband's sister-in-law who was in charge of the house, how much did she lose to the old lady openly and secretly?"

This time, Sifang took the initiative to find a master for Sister Guan, I don't care what their intentions are, anyway, I can't trust the people who are placed next to my daughter. Last time, I asked my sister-in-law to help me find a candidate, but did I have any eyebrows? ”

Yuan nodded, let the maid next to him go into the inner room to take out the sticker, handed it to the other party and said: "You see, this Mama Jiao used to be an errand person in the inner court, and she was favored by the Empress Dowager because of her excellent embroidery, and then Prince An got married, and the Empress Dowager sent her to the palace. ”

Before she finished speaking, Ji interrupted in surprise: "Anwangfu, but the Anjun Wangfu in Suzaku Fang?" ”

"Naturally, could it be that our Great Chu Dynasty still has a second King An?"

Yuan responded as a matter of course: "King Anjun is the son of Prince An, and now that he has inherited the title, he will naturally be lowered by one rank." ”

"Then this Mama Jiao is from the palace, how can you recommend her to me, sister-in-law?" Ji still remembered the unhappiness in Fayuan Temple last time, and his tone was a little strange when he mentioned the palace.

"Mama Jiao was originally on an errand beside Princess An, but Princess An lost her husband at an early age, and she lost her eldest grandson two years ago, and she went last year. Princess Anjun released the old people who served the old princess, and Mama Jiao opened an embroidery workshop in the east of the city, which was quite famous, and many ladies in Beijing invited her to teach the girl how to needlework. ”

Yuan sighed, knowing her sister-in-law's thoughts, she added: "I finally helped you invite this Jiao Mama, after all, it was praised by the Empress Dowager back then, and it came out of the inner court, and it is not easy for someone of her position to enter the mansion to teach again."

It is also our sister Guan who has fate, Mama Jiao just came out of the Anjun Mansion last year, and I don't know how many famous families have been rejected this year. By the way, she also has a righteous daughter, who learned the piano in Si Lefang when she was in the palace in her early years, and later went to the palace together.

You said, invite their mother and daughter into the house to teach Sister Guan, and it will be loud in the future. I heard that the eldest wife of your Yan family, with the help of her cousin is the crown princess, and the people she invited in the early years were all people who came out of the palace, so I am not afraid that you will lose face, and the person who was specially found for you is more attentive than your four brothers and sisters, right? ”

Ji Shiyuan was quite mindful of being an old man in King An's Mansion, but as soon as he heard this, those hesitations immediately disappeared, "If their mother and daughter really have the ability to teach me, I will naturally treat them well, and thank my sister-in-law for this." ”

Yuan took a bite of the tea, and said with a smile: "You and I are polite, you specially pushed the concubine to invite me, how can I do it for you."

You don't have to question Mama Jiao's ability, her daughter is very good in knowledge and talent, but she just lost her husband a few years ago, and some people are afraid of taboos, I know you don't care about these before you dare to come down for you. ”

"What's the matter with this widow?" Ji really didn't pay much attention to it, "Sister-in-law, give me the address, and I will personally go to the east of the city to invite them in two days." ”

Yuan Shi was slightly surprised: "You are willing to run in person." ”

"You said it was extremely difficult to invite, and I want to entrust Guanguan to you, how dare I despise it?"

Ji Shi took the hand of his daughter in front of him, and added: "Let's not worry about how to learn in Guanguan, and if we go out in the future, we can say that we will learn from Mama Jiao." ”

Yuan knew that she was good at this face, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, for fear that the other party would be picky.

After talking for a while, she asked again: "By the way, when did my uncle take office?" ”

"Ming'er is going to Dali Temple to report, and the day after tomorrow he will officially take office."

When Yuan Shi heard this, he suddenly said: "You don't always worry about your concubine who is in charge, but I look at my uncle's errand and isn't it still done by the fourth master of your family?" ”

Ji was suspicious, "It is said that the master thinks so, and the Meng family did not deny it last time, but I always feel that this errand of Shaoqing of Dali Temple is strange."

Sister-in-law, you see, at the moment, the house has not been separated, but the eldest man is gone, according to the eldest and youngest, our second room should be the head of the house in the future, you say that the old lady in our house can really let her son get us back to Yanjing? ”

The Yuan family sighed, the relationship between the Ji family is simple, the second room is in Zunyi Mansion, and they are the only one room in Beijing, but there is really no such thing. It was about her sister-in-law's family, and she was not very easy to interject, so she only said: "It's good for you to be more mindful, if there is anything inconvenient in the future, your eldest brother and I will definitely do it as our own business when we come here." ”

Hearing this, Ji Shi was grateful, lowered his head and felt that his daughter in his arms was tired and unconscious, and said slowly: "Guanguan is sleepy? ”

Yan Wan listened a little boring, and it was all about how to discipline herself, she thought that after a while, someone would come to teach her to learn this and that, and people would be depressed.

Seeing this, Yuan said: "It's unfortunate that several aunts and grandmothers from our house just returned to the house a few days ago, and they still wanted to let Brother Rui accompany Sister Guan to relieve their boredom, but they didn't expect that the brother of the Fu family came to him in the morning, saying that he had made an appointment with the prince of Nanyang Hou Mansion to go to the racecourse." ”

I didn't think I thought about it, but after hearing this, Ji Shi was surprised: "Sister-in-law, I forgot if I didn't say it, and the Fuguo General's Mansion is also on this street." Our eldest wife took a few sisters to visit the aunt and grandmother at the Fu family early in the morning. ”

Yuan's chin bowed, "Yes, the two mansions are similar, Brother Rui and their brother Jun are of the same age, and they always play together." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, the girl outside the door opened the curtain and came in, "Madam, the young master is back." ”

Ji Rui stepped on deerskin riding boots, strode in, still holding a horsewhip in his hand, and shouted "mother" when he entered the house.

Yan Wan raised his eyes and saw that Cousin Rui's sword eyebrows were wide-eyed, and his face was heroic.

At first glance, when he met his gaze, he saw that his helpless face was confused, his hands and feet were instantly retracted, and he subconsciously hid his arms behind him, "Mother, there are guests?" After speaking, he found that the Ji family in the house hurriedly threw the horsewhip in his hand back hard, and said, "I've seen my aunt." ”

Yan Wan saw that the curtain was rolled up, but it couldn't float up, so funny, he couldn't help laughing.

Ji Ruiben's upright face showed a little annoyance, and he looked back slightly, as if he had just realized his stupid behavior.

Yuan looked serious, but he was very fond of this beloved son who only gave birth to three daughters in a row, and reminded with a smile: "Didn't I tell you earlier, your aunt and your cousin are going to go to the house today." By the way, didn't you go to the horse farm with the Fu family's brother, why did you come back so early? ”

Ji Ruiyuan was still in a trance, and when he heard the "oh" sound, he was stunned for a moment and didn't speak.

Yan Wan was looking at him, and saw that the young man in silence suddenly changed color, and only then did he understand what his mother had just asked: "It was a horse race, but the General's Mansion suddenly sent someone to find Mingjun, saying that something happened to his sister-in-law in the mansion, and I came back with him." ”
