Qingyuan County, Ren'an Prefecture

Spring returns to the earth, and everything recovers. Qingyuan County is backed by mountains and faces the sea, spring comes earlier, and most of the pedestrians on the street have changed into jackets.

Zishi Lane is located in the west of Qingyuan County, which is a good place to be quiet in the city. Just after that, a horse-drawn carriage came galloping and slowed down in front of a vermilion lacquer gate in Zishi Lane. The curtain of the car was lifted by the wind, and the people in the car were faintly visible.

This gatehouse has four pillars and three rooms, carved beams and painted buildings, two square stone piers in front of the door, carved with delicate fish play lotus bottom pattern. The carriage did not stop at the gate, but went straight to the West Corner Gate.

When the pedestrians saw it from afar, they all stopped to watch and discuss.

The one who lives in this magnificent mansion is the Ji family, the first-class family in Qingyuan County. The old lady Ji, who returned to his hometown, died of illness three years ago, and the two sons of the Ji family, who were officials abroad, went home to worry. Now, the three-year mourning period of Mrs. Ji has passed, and today is the day when the Ji Mansion is rid of filial piety.

The father and son of the Ji family were three jinshi, and they were in Xuanhe in Qingyuan County for a while, and the Ji Mansion naturally had a different pomp and circumstance in addition to filial piety. As soon as everyone saw a group of monks leave the Ji Mansion, they saw that Li Langzhong, the most famous person in the county, was invited into the Ji Mansion in this way, and it seemed that something big had happened.

"Isn't there anything wrong with Ji Er's body?" There are good people who speculate so.

Such speculation is not unfounded.

Ji Er Ye is very affectionate and filial, in the past three years, he has been filial piety to his father in accordance with the ancient rites, even a strong man is afraid that he can't stand it, let alone a scholar like Ji Er. In the past two years, the Ji Mansion has invited Li Langzhong to enter the Mansion twice to diagnose the pulse of the second master Ji. Now in addition to filial piety, the second master Ji is overly sad, and it is not very surprising that there is something wrong.

Moreover, sharp-eyed people have long discovered that in addition to Li Langzhong, there are also Ji San of the Ji family and Jiang Da in the city.

The population of the Ji family is not large, so these two can personally invite Langzhong, in addition to the old lady of the Ji family, there is only the second master Ji. But everyone knows that although the old lady of the Ji family is nearly fifty years old, her body has always been very tough.

"It's not the second master, it sounds like it's the third girl of the Ji family......" One person said in a low voice.

The third girl of the Ji family is just a little girl in her early tens, but with such a big pomp, everyone can't help but secretly think in their hearts, but I'm afraid that something big has happened to the Ji family.

"I'm afraid it's not good!"

This sentence confirmed everyone's speculation. Everyone can't help but sigh, such a young girl, I heard that she has been reading poetry and books with her father Ji Er since she was a child, she is very smart and docile, and she is also a beautiful embryo. At a young age, he was born in a splendid heap, and died like this, which is really pitiful. And if something like this happened to the Ji family on the day of filial piety, it can be regarded as bad luck.

However, I haven't heard that Miss Ji San has contracted any disease, why is it that all of a sudden, it's not good?!

The back house of the Kifu

Mrs. Ji sat cross-legged on the big kang near the window. Although she is nearly fifty years old, her face is white/fair, her body is rich, and she looks no more than in her early forties. In addition to filial piety, Mrs. Ji was wearing a cardigan coat with stone blue silk, and only two golden hairpins with the word Fu Shou were inserted on her head without a trace of white hair, and an emerald the size of a fingernail was embedded in the middle of the forehead of Shi Qing silk.

Mrs. Ji's face tightened, and she looked at it in a bad mood. Ji Xiaoyun, the second girl of Ji Mansion, sat next to Mrs. Ji.

Ji Xiaoyun has a standard melon seed face, with a pair of apricot eyes that are surprisingly big, and she looks even more cherry/lips, which is extraordinarily delicate. The little girl of twelve or thirteen years old, sitting next to her grandmother, although she tried her best to be calm, her pale face still showed her fear at the moment.

Ji Xiaoyun was sitting on the kang, but she couldn't help but look under the kang.

Mrs. Ji placed three Huanghuali Taishi chairs on the left and right under the kang. Master Ji Er sat on the first chair on his left hand. He also tightened his face, his eyes could not hide his anxiety, and he clearly noticed Ji Xiaoyun's movements, but he didn't look at Ji Xiaoyun.

Ji Xiaoyun closed her gaze, her face became more and more pale, and she leaned into Mrs. Ji's arms again.

Mrs. Ji seemed to feel her granddaughter's affection, but at this time, Ji Xiaotang's situation was unknown, so it was really difficult to say anything, so she only patted the little girl's hand gently.

There was a string of hurried footsteps in the courtyard.

Old Mrs. Ji, Second Master Ji and Ji Xiaoyun all changed their faces slightly, and their eyes looked eagerly towards the door. Master Ji Er even stood up from his chair.

The one who came in was not a girl from the family, but a man of medium stature, wearing a blue head, and about forty years old.

"Old grandmother, second uncle," the man came into the door, with a smile on his face, and bowed to Mrs. Ji and Second Master Ji, and said in a loud voice, "Thanks to the blessing of the old grandmother, the third sister Ji Ren Tianxiang has woken up." ”

As soon as she woke up and said a few words, Mrs. Ji breathed a sigh of relief, and Ji Xiaoyun's pale face also saw some blood.

Mrs. Ji said hello, and while reaching out to hug Ji Xiaoyun dotingly, her straight back also relaxed. Mrs. Ji leaned on the backrest of the smoke-blue elastic ink, seemingly completely relieved.

"Xiaotang woke up?! What did Li Langzhong say? Second Master Ji didn't wait for the man to answer, his eyes had already turned to Old Mrs. Ji.

Although Second Master Ji did not speak, the look of request in his eyes was already very obvious.

Mrs. Ji let go of her hanging heart, but there was a little impatience in her demeanor.

"I just said it's okay, it's just a common thing for children to bump into each other. You scorpions sting. She is a small family, and the elders and relatives of the family who work like this are not afraid of breaking her blessings. Old Mrs. Ji spoke in a voice full of anger.

As long as there is no fear for life, it is nothing. She was worried in vain just now!

"It's not that I said, Xiaotang was pampered too much by you. Now that you are protecting you at home, and you will be a daughter-in-law when you go out in the future, it is difficult for you to protect you like this. When the time comes, she will suffer. …… I'm all for your good! ”

"The mother is full of compassion for her children, and the son never dares to forget." Second Master Ji hurriedly lowered his head and said.

Mrs. Ji knew that Second Master Ji was in a hurry to see Ji Xiaotang, but she didn't let him go.

"Xiaoyun is just a mistake, or Xiaotang is too delicate, and she didn't stand firm. Now that Xiaotang is fine, you and your daughter-in-law can't blame Xiaoyun. Look what this kid will look like. Don't stop Xiaotang and scare Xiaoyun out of a bad place, then I won't follow. ”

Second Master Ji raised his head, and his gaze fell on Ji Xiaoyun for the first time.

Ji Xiaoyun seemed to be a little scared, and subconsciously shrank back. Old Mrs. Ji immediately glared at Second Master Ji, and made it clear that she was going to support Ji Xiaoyun to the end.

Second Master Ji sighed secretly in his heart.

The palms and backs of his hands were full of meat, and he didn't plan to punish Ji Xiaoyun heavily. However, looking at the situation of the mother and daughter at this moment, Ji Er's heart was even more worried. It's just that he is filial by nature and doesn't want to go against his mother's wishes in the slightest.

's father died and her mother was widowed, but thanks to Ji Xiaoyun's presence sooner or later, her mother would not be overly sad.

"Listen to your mother." Second Master Ji nodded in response.

When Mrs. Ji heard Second Master Ji say this, she nodded with satisfaction.

"If you say so, you are not allowed to repent. Don't say something to your daughter-in-law and Xiaotang for a while, you changed your mind again, I don't follow. After confirming once again that Second Master Ji would not punish Ji Xiaoyun, Old Lady Ji waved her hand generously.

"You're here with me, and I'm afraid I'm afraid you've already flown over there. That's it, put on this face, I still can't stop you from seeing your daughter. No matter how big things are, it's like life and death, I can't see this. I don't need you here, you can go. ”

The younger daughter was pushed by the eldest daughter and hit the door frame, and she fainted, and her breath gradually disappeared. The old mother was frightened at the same time, and she wanted to die or live. Ji Er was in a dilemma, so he chose to stay with his mother to serve, and only let his wife take care of his youngest daughter.

Now that Mrs. Ji has issued a pardon, Second Master Ji hurriedly saluted, slowly came out of Mrs. Ji's house, and went straight to the courtyard of his wife and daughter.
