Chapter XXVII
After greeting each other, Mama Cheng was invited to sit in the guest seat.
Mrs. Ji Er first chatted with Mama Cheng for a few words.
Ji Xiaotang and Ji Xiaoyun both sat next to Mrs. Ji. For Mama Cheng, Ji Xiaoyun was even more curious than Ji Xiaotang, and couldn't help but keep secretly looking.
Mrs. Ji quickly got to the point.
“…… For these two girls, I sincerely invite my grandmother to my house to make an offering and teach these two children. ”
Mama Cheng already knew about the Ji family and Ji Xiaotang's sisters from Mrs. Xie, so there was nothing to ask. According to Mama Cheng's own words, it is to meet each other to see if it fits the eye.
In fact, she was pestered by Mrs. Xie, and thought that she could take the opportunity to meet, so she dismissed Mrs. Ji.
Seeing that Mama Cheng was silent, Mrs. Ji asked the little girl to hold the brocade box and gave four gifts.
A colored satin, two boxes of fragrant tea, a gold sweat towel on one side, and a string of agarwood.
The gift is not light.
"Don't worry about it, Mama. The people who came out of the Mama Palace have never seen anything good. Mama passed by us, and the right was for me to do some landlord friendship. Although she was eager to invite Mama Cheng to her home, Mrs. Ji was not aggressive in her attitude.
As Mrs. Xie said to her, Mrs. Ji is a temperamental person and acts magnificently. The Ji family is a rare place for people like her.
Even so, Mama Cheng did not accept the gift, let alone agree.
“…… Thanks to his wife's attention, he should have agreed immediately. I'm old, I'm sick, I'm a useless person, I just want to go home to care for the elderly, and the leaves go back to ......my roots."
When Mama Cheng spoke, she actually showed the meaning of refusal.
Ji Xiaotang couldn't let Mama Cheng refuse.
"Mama, can't you really stay? Please stay. ”
Ji Xiaotang actually opened his mouth at this time, not only Mrs. Ji and Mrs. Xie, but Mama Cheng was also a little surprised.
Ji Xiaotang said this, and didn't say anything more, just looked at Mama Cheng. Mama Cheng is a person with ideas, and talking too much is useless.
Mama Cheng groaned.
The mother and daughter of the Ji family, as soon as she entered the door, she noticed Ji Xiaotang.
Ji Xiaotang is too dazzling to be ignored.
Even if she is used to seeing all kinds of beauties in the palace, Ji Xiaotang's appearance and demeanor still amaze her. But what touched her even more was Ji Xiaotang's gaze at her.
There isn't much curiosity about it, it's more about warmth.
Yes, Ji Xiaotang's gaze and smile made Mama Cheng feel warm and even a little familiar.
This little girl has no strange feelings towards her, as if she has known her for a long time and is very close to her.
The corners of Mama Cheng's eyes and mouth showed a faint smile. This is a very rare thing for her.
She didn't expect that as soon as she met Ji Xiaotang, she would fall in love like this. Moreover, Ji Xiaotang kept her so sincerely.
This kind of sincerity is the first time she has encountered it in all these years.
She wants to go back to Huizhou to calm down, but in fact, she just wants to stay away from the chaos and have people close to her. She is in her hometown in Huizhou, but she actually has no relatives.
“…… If the wife and the girls are not too rough, I will stay for the time being and be the companions of the two girls. Even so, Mama Cheng didn't say anything to death. She has a lot of savings around her, and she doesn't need to earn a living. When I went to Ji's house to make offerings, I was in the two words of fate. If it is time when "fate is over", she can lift her legs and leave.
Mama Cheng is always so cautious in doing things, Ji Xiaotang will smile.
Mrs. Ji Er was overjoyed when she saw Mama Cheng agree.
"Mama is too modest, our family can invite Mama, it is a blessing for these two children."
Mrs. Ji Er is also a quick temper, so she immediately discussed with Mama Cheng and Mrs. Xie to take Mama Cheng to live at Ji's house.
"I read the yellow calendar when I went out, and tomorrow will be a good day." Mrs. Ji Er's meaning is that Mama Cheng will live in Ji's house tomorrow.
Mrs. Xie didn't have anything to say, Mama Cheng thought about it, then nodded, and said goodbye and said that she would clean up.
"It's finally done." Mrs. Xie clasped her hands happily, "Mama Cheng likes Xiaotang very much...... and Xiaoyun. ”
"They voted for Mama Cheng's fate." Mrs. Ji said.
"It's not that I'm boasting, our two girls, who can see it or not." Mrs. Xie laughed, and called someone in to give instructions, saying that she was going to prepare a banquet to celebrate.
"You still have guests, forget it today, and we'll come back another day." Mrs. Ji Er was busy and stopped.
"It's okay." Mrs. Xie said, "I don't have to interfere in the affairs over there, it's all the adults who are cooking." ”
Since those guests came, Xie Zhixian lived in the front study, and took care of the main courtyard nearby, and did not come to Mrs. Xie.
When Mrs. Ji heard Mrs. Xie say this, she was fine.
There was a little girl outside who came to report, saying that Xie Huaijin was out of school and came to ask Mrs. Ji Er to say goodbye.
"I said he should be back at this hour." Mrs. Xie smiled and let Xie Huaijin in.
Xie Huaijin came in and saluted Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Ji, and then saluted Ji Xiaoyun.
Ji Xiaoyun is one year older than Xie Huaijin, and Xie Huaijin wants to call Ji Xiaoyun her sister. After that, it was Ji Xiaotang who saluted Xie Huaijin, and Xie Huaijin was busy returning the courtesy.
"Mother, our garden peony is just right, I will lead the second sister and Xiaotang sister to take a look and come back." Xie Huaijin asked Mrs. Xie.
Mrs. Xie looked at Mrs. Ji for her opinion, while Mrs. Ji looked at her two daughters.
Ji Xiaotang was indispensable, but Ji Xiaoyun shook his head.
She and Xie Huaijin are not familiar with each other. Xie Huaijin and Ji Xiaotang grew up together since childhood, and the two are very good. Ji Xiaoyun was reluctant to go with them.
She has been out for a while, and she really wants to go home and accompany Mrs. Ji.
Looking at Ji Xiaoyun's appearance, Mrs. Ji Er secretly shook her head in her heart.
Mrs. Ji brought up Ji Xiaoyun and doted on Ji Xiaoyun very much, almost asking the stars not to give the moon, but she didn't teach Ji Xiaoyun well. Don't look at Ji Xiaoyun is very domineering at home, and often bullies Ji Xiaotang. But when she went out, Ji Xiaoyun was the most timid and a little withdrawn.
It's not a good thing for this kid to be like this in the long run.
Mrs. Ji thought so in her heart, and she wanted Ji Xiaoyun to have more contact with the outside environment and more experience.
"Your uncle Xie is not an outsider here, you sisters will go for a walk. There are girls and women to take care of, and they will come back when they go. Mrs. Ji said.
Ji Xiaoyun looked left and right, and nodded hesitantly.
"Take care of your sister." Mrs. Ji Er whispered to Ji Xiaotang.
Ji Xiaotang nodded.
"Take care of your sisters, don't be naughty." Mrs. Xie also instructed Xie Huaijin, and at the same time sent a few old daughters-in-law to accompany and serve their sisters, so that people could come out with confidence.
Xie Huaijin led the way in front, and Ji Xiaotang and Ji Xiaoyun were surrounded by a group of girls and daughters-in-law, and passed through two moon gates before arriving at the garden gate.
The garden of the government is most famous for its peony, and it is called the peony garden.
It's the season of peony blooming.
In the garden, the pavilions and pavilions are small and chic, and as far as the eye can see, the flowers are full of flowers, which is pleasing to the eye.
"I have long wanted to invite my aunt and sister Xiaotang...... Oh, and the second sister came to hang out. Xie Huaijin was happy when he saw Ji Xiaotang, and he was also happy.
"This year's flowers are blooming better than usual." Ji Xiaotang said.
“…… The garden has changed its staff, and several generations have been planting flowers and trees, and they have been taken care of more carefully. Xie Huaijin said. Xie Zhixian liked these peonies very much, so he deliberately found someone to take care of them.
"No wonder."
Xie Huaijin took Ji Xiaotang to talk while walking around the garden, and Ji Xiaoyun was also attracted by the scenery in the garden.
Unlike Ji Xiaotang, Ji Xiaoyun rarely came to the county government.
After walking in the garden, Xie Huaijin took Ji Xiaotang and Ji Xiaoyun to a pavilion in the center of the garden to sit, and the attendants brought fragrant tea and snacks.
"The second sister likes it, and I will let people fold some and take it back to insert the bottle." Xie Huaijin said to Ji Xiaoyun.
Ji Xiaotang got the instructions of Mrs. Ji's second wife, and took care of Ji Xiaoyun very much along the way, deliberately looking for a topic to talk to her. Xie Huaijin has always been what Ji Xiaotang likes to do, so he is also very friendly to Ji Xiaoyun.
Seeing Xie Huaijin talking to her, Ji Xiaoyun's face turned slightly red.
"That's not a problem." Ji Xiaoyun whispered. After all, she is still a little girl, and after playing for a while, she is not so restrained and nervous.
"It's not a hassle. The second sister is here just like at home, you're welcome. Xie Huaijin said sincerely.
Ji Xiaoyun quickly looked at Xie Huaijin twice, and didn't speak again.
"Xiaotang, I'll sue you......" Xie Huaijin looked left and right, and said to Ji Xiaotang in a slightly lowered voice.
"What, another murder?" Ji Xiaotang's eyes widened slightly.
Every time Xie Huaijin and Ji Xiaotang meet, they have to say something new outside to Ji Xiaotang.
Ji Xiaoyun also heard it next to her, and her frightened hands trembled, almost spilling the water in the teacup.
On the one hand, there is fear, and on the other hand, there is curiosity. Ji Xiaoyun quietly moved in the direction of Ji Xiaotang.
When I got close to my sister, I didn't seem so scared, and I could hear it more clearly.
Xie Huaijin saw that Ji Xiaotang was interested, and said more and more everything he knew.
The murder occurred in Lijiazhuang, thirty miles west of the city.
To be precise, the victim's body was found in Lijiazhuang.
