Chapter 229: Girl

Add more, ask for a monthly pass

……

Shen Lao not only sent Shen Yao, but also Shen Yao's eldest brother Shen Qi. Shen Qi is eight years old this year and has already followed Shen Lao's enlightenment.

“…… I can already recite the "Three Character Classic" and "Hundred Family Names", and I have begun to learn "Thousand Character Text". "Shen Lao sued Ji Er and Ji Xiaotang.

It turned out that the children of the Shen family were enlightened early, and even on the way to escape, there was not enough food and clothing, and Shen Lao did not relax his grandson's schoolwork. Ji Xiaotang listened to it interestingly, and immediately asked Shen Qi to recite a passage of "Three Character Classic", and Shen Qi really recited it.

"Although Yao'er is a girl, she has already been enlightened, and she has learned one more "Thousand Character Text" than her younger brother," Shen Lao said again.

When Ji Xiaotang left the shantytown of the disaster victims, he once said that he would let Shen Yao bring his younger brothers to Ji Mansion to find her. What she means is to let her sisters and brothers come to her house to play, although the Shen family sisters and brothers are cold, but they are clean and pleasant, and they are very tutored, Ji Xiaotang thinks that whether it is Mrs. Ji or Mrs. Ji, they will like these children.

However, Shen Lao sent Shen Yao and Shen Qi to play. Shen Lao wanted to send Shen Yao and Shen Qi to the Ji family.

"Yao'er will be a little girl to serve Miss Ji, as for Qi'er, let the second master arrange him." Shen Lao said to Ji Er and Ji Xiaotang.

"It's not going to be done." Master Ji Er shook his head when he was busy.

Ji Xiaotang also felt that this was not good.

"Lao Yu is not selling his sons and daughters, but he is grateful and admired, and he is willing to send his two grandchildren. The two children themselves were willing. Shen Lao hurriedly said.

After Ji Xiaotang left yesterday, Shen Yao still looked outside the shantytown for a long time. Until the Ji family's carriage disappeared, Shen Yao was still standing there and refused to go back. Later, although he went back, he opened and closed his mouth to say Ji Xiaotang.

And Shen Qi is younger. The family's experience of fleeing, as well as what he saw and heard in Qingyuan, made him regard the Ji family as a benefactor and almost worship him as a god.

It was Shen Lao's idea to send his two grandchildren to the Ji family, and his sons and daughters-in-law also nodded, and Shen Yao and Shen Qi themselves were willing.

Second Master Ji resigned for a long time. Shen Laodu insisted on leaving the two children behind. After thinking about it, Second Master Ji nodded and agreed to keep the two children. It means that the two children of the Shen family should be raised at home as the children of relatives.

When Shen Lao heard this, not only did he not have the slightest joy, but he became anxious.

"This is absolutely unacceptable." Shen Lao hurriedly said, "Second master is like this." I've become old. is so opportunistic, let the second master raise my two grandchildren in vain! Although the old decay is in trouble, the life and death of the family are in one place. I really thanked the second master and Miss Ji for their kindness, so I sent them to serve. ”

After another long day of arguing, neither side would budge. Ji Xiaotang watched from the side that this was not a solution, so he had to come forward to speak.

"Daddy, or listen to Shen Lao." Ji Xiaotang said, while secretly telling the second master of Ji. First, according to Shen Lao's intentions, the Shen family sisters and brothers were accepted. When the two children grow up, the year will be better, and it will be the same to release the two again.

When Second Master Ji heard Ji Xiaotang say this, he immediately rejoiced.

"I didn't turn the corner in a hurry, thanks to you for reminding me." Second Master Ji whispered to Ji Xiaotang, and then turned around and nodded to Shen Lao.

Shen Lao was very happy, so he asked Shen Yao and Shen Qi to come forward and kowtow.

"Neither my father nor I understand these things." Ji Xiaotang said with a smile, and asked people to find Mama Cheng and briefly told Mama Cheng about the matter.

"Mama will take care of it for me." Ji Xiaotang said to Mama Cheng.

Mama Cheng is now helping Ji Xiaotang as a housekeeper, talking in the Ji family counts, and she has a tacit understanding with Ji Xiaotang. She listened to what Ji Xiaotang said, looked at the Shen family, the old and young, and nodded.

"In this case, there are no rules." Mama Cheng asked the little girl to find a letter on the account room, writing the identity deed of Shen Yao and Shen Qi.

When I heard that I was going to write a deed, Master Ji Er wanted to speak. But before he spoke, he looked at Ji Xiaotang, and Ji Xiaotang smiled slightly. Second Master Ji didn't open his mouth in the end. Shen Lao also casually glanced in Ji Xiaotang's direction, and the expression on his face remained unchanged.

Soon, the deed between Shen Yao and Shen Qi was written, and they were taken over to draw a pledge for Shen Lao. After Mama Cheng read it, she handed it over to Ji Xiaotang. Ji Xiaotang glanced at the deed of life, and when he saw that it was written as a death deed, he nodded secretly.

The Ji family buys people to serve, and it has always been a death contract.

Ji Xiaotang read the deed and asked him to hand it back to Shen Lao. The deed should have been received by the buyer, but Shen Lao was allowed to hold it himself, which shows the attitude of the Ji family, and the deed is just a formality.

Shen Lao's hands trembled slightly, but he refused to accept the deed.

“…… Great kindness, this deed is the same for Miss Ji. ”

In the end, it was Mama Cheng who accepted the deed on behalf of Ji Xiaotang.

"Yao'er will follow me from now on and serve in my room. Qi'er will follow my father first, don't fall behind in the schoolwork you should learn, if there is anything you don't understand, you can come and ask me, or ask my father. When Changsheng is older, let Qi'er follow Changsheng to be a scholar. Ji Xiaotang discussed with Second Master Ji, and said with a smile.

Serving in Ji Xiaotang's house, although she is a girl in name, she is not comparable to the daughter of an ordinary petty official and wealthy family outside. As for following Master Ji Er, and being a scholar for Changsheng in the future, not only will he not fall behind in his schoolwork, but he can also ask Master Ji Er for teaching, which is a good thing that many people can't ask for.

Shen Lao was about to speak gratefully, but Second Master Ji smiled and raised his hand to stop him.

"Now it's just a stopgap measure, and when these two children are older, they will naturally be released. The girl is married, and Xiaotang has her own makeup to supplement her. The boys' imperial examinations are also fine. ”

Such an arrangement is actually to raise two children for the Shen family, and the meaning of Master Ji's words is clearly to teach Shen Qi to become a talent.

Shen Lao's eyes were wet, and he couldn't help but say, and knelt on the ground with a plop, kowtowing to Ji Er and Ji Xiaotang. Shen Yao and Shen Qi sold their money, and Shen Lao said that he would not accept anything.

Ji Xiaotang was not reluctant, so he said that he would save the money first, and when Shen Yao and Shen Qi were let out, he would give them two private money. Second Master Ji asked people to take some extra rice and noodles to celebrate the New Year for Shen Lao. Shen Lao couldn't refuse, so he had to accept them.

Before Shen Lao left, he also called Shen Yao and Shen Qi to him, and instructed the two children to be obedient, diligent, and listen to the master's instructions in the Ji family.

After Second Master Ji sent Shen Lao away, Ji Xiaotang took Shen Yao and Shen Qi to the backyard to see Old Lady Ji and Second Mrs. Ji.

Mrs. Ji and Mrs. Ji had already heard Ji Xiaotang talk about the Shen family, and when they saw that Shen Yao and Shen Qi's two children were good-looking, docile and polite, they both liked it very much, and they also rewarded the two children with things.

Subsequently, Ji Xiaotang called a small servant beside Second Master Ji to take Shen Qi away and resettle, and then took Shen Yao back to his house.

Shen Yao is long-term, and has a sweet mouth, when she was in the shantytown yesterday, she followed Xiu'er and Jin'er to call her sister, and now when she comes, Jin'er and Xiu'er are also very happy.

Xiu'er took Shen Yao down to wash, then changed into a half-new little girl's dress, and brought it over to see Ji Xiaotang again.

Shen Yao, who cleaned up like this, became more and more delicate and cute.

"This garment is ......"

"Back to the girl, this is what the maid wore before, she only wore it a few times, and after a return to the water, she found it out, and it happened to be worn by Shen Yao's sister." Xiu'er replied with a smile when she was busy.

"The maid also has the clothes from the past, and Shen Yao's sister should be able to wear them." Jin'er saw it on the side and said with a smile.

Ji Xiaotang nodded, Shen Yao was in her room, and she couldn't wear her previous clothes, but it was too late to make clothes now, so it was appropriate to wear a few brocades and embroideries first.

"After a while, I will call someone on the needle and thread to measure you so that I can add new clothes to you." Ji Xiaotang looked at Shen Yao and said.

"Girl, I, no, the maid don't want new clothes, the sisters' clothes are enough for the maidservant to wear." Shen Yao hurriedly said, "The clothes of the sisters are better than those young ladies and grandmothers I have seen." ”

The girls in the room were all amused by her.

Ji Xiaotang also smiled.

"If you are here with me, you will follow your sister Jin'er and sister Xiu'er, and you will be called Yao'er from now on. Let you be a third-class little girl first, follow the rules, the moon silver and the four seasons clothes are according to the rules, if you don't understand, just ask your sisters. ”

Yao'er was overjoyed, and hurriedly saluted and thanked her, but at the same time, she picked up the things that Mrs. Ji and Mrs. Ji had rewarded.

"This is the old lady and the lady rewarded you, you can keep it for yourself." Ji Xiaotang said.

"Oh." Yao'er was still hesitant.

"If you're afraid that you won't be able to keep it, leave it to your sister Xiu'er to keep it for you." Ji Xiaotang said. The little girls who followed Ji Xiaotang to serve, many of them kept their valuable things for Xiu'er, which was very safe.

"Hmm." Yao'er looked at Xiu'er and happily agreed.

The Ji family has an extra third-class girl and a scholar, which is just a very common thing in the Ji family's daily housework, at least, at that time.

Ji Xiaotang asked Yao'er to serve in the house, and asked the big girl to take care of her, so she put it aside, she still had many more important things to take care of.

"Daddy, the team carrying grain should be out of Ren'an Mansion now, right?" On this day, Ji Xiaotang and Ji Er were talking in the library pavilion.

Second Master Ji calculated in his heart, and nodded.

"It's supposed to be these two days."

The days leading up to Chinese New Year's Eve are the time when precautions are most lax. Ji Xiaotang's heart was raised, and that matter will be clear in the next two days.

That incident is not only related to the safety of the people on one side, but also related to the life and death of the Ji family.

In the early morning of the 29th day of the lunar month, many people in Qingyuan County were awakened by the sound of horses' hooves, and then heard the bad news.

The vehicle escorting grain and grass was hijacked!
