Chapter 9: Old Things
I have to say that this Jingningbo Mansion is indeed good at drilling.
Anyway, Ning Hao also wants to marry a stepfamily, and because of the situation in Jingningbo's Mansion, at most, he will marry someone who is similar to Lu Yan's family, and it will not be a loss to marry Lu Yan, if the Ji family can settle their grievances in the future, it is impossible to say that they will be able to catch the Ji family through Lu Yan, wouldn't it maximize the benefits?
"I heard that now Mrs. Jingning Boshizi used to be the most loved by Mrs. Ji, ten years ago the Ji family was convicted, and Mrs. Jingning Boshizi was also dragged to exile, or Mrs. Ji felt sorry for her, and took the initiative to say that she was not a member of the Ji family, but only borrowed from the Ji family, so that Mrs. Jingning Boshizi was saved from the pain of exile......"
It was precisely because of these that Ning Hao fell in love with Lu Yan.
If not, I don't know how many women are comparable to Lu Yan in the capital, so how can Ning Hao ask to marry her alone?
Ji Qing's eyebrows and eyes were full of coldness.
"Did the eldest lady of the Ji family take the initiative to break off the relationship with her?" She said.
Holly said: "According to Mrs. Jingning Boshizi herself, it is like this. ”
However, this is just Lu Yan's own words, the matter of the Ji family has been ten years away now, what was the situation back then, and where can outsiders find out?
A slight mockery flashed in Ji Qing's eyes.
Her mother, that is, the eldest lady of the Ji family, is surnamed Lu, and Lu Yan is the only daughter of the younger brother of the Lu family.
Lu Yan lost her mother at the age of eight, and after three years of filial piety, Ji Qing's brother-in-law Lu Bin wanted to be released, because Lu Yan had always been close to the Lu family, so he entrusted Lu Yan to the Lu family.
Since then, Lu Yan has lived in the Ji family for three years.
When the Ji family was convicted, the Lu family really didn't want to implicate Lu Yan, but before she had time to break off the relationship with Lu Yan, Lu Yan took the first step to cry and beg, showing that she was just a parasitic fence, not the Ji family, and even cried in front of so many people about how much she had suffered and how many grievances she had suffered during the time she had lived in the Ji family.
If it weren't for Ji Qing being the party, just looking at Lu Yan's tears, she would have to believe that her mother had really treated Lu Yan harshly.
Thinking of Lu Yan's coy attitude at that time, Ji Qing now feels disgusted.
The reason why Holly talked about Lu Yan was not because of these, but because of the Ji family in passing.
She said: "Master, don't you know, this Mrs. Jingning Boshi is now about to become a joke in the capital, when she married into Jingning Bo Mansion, she was already twenty years old, and I don't know why she delayed her age, when Jing Ning Bo Mansion asked to marry, the Lu family did not allow this marriage, it was this Mrs. Jing Ning Bo Shizi herself who wanted to marry into the Ning family, maybe it was for this matter, the relationship between Mrs. Jing Ning Bo Shizi and her mother's family was not good, and she usually had very few contacts, starting from marrying into the Ning family, Mrs. Jing Ning Bo Shizi is only doing one thing......"
That's asking for a son.
The incense in which temple is effective, where to worship the goddess of mercy who sends the child to respond to all needs, and there are all kinds of good ways to give birth to children......
Lu Yan can be said to have tried all kinds of methods, but she failed to get her wish, and she has not had a man and a woman in the four years since she married into the Ning family.
It's not that there are no women in the capital who want children, but there is really no one like Lu Yan who is well-known, and it is precisely because of this that Lu Yan will be regarded as a joke.
Of course, Lu Yan herself is afraid that she doesn't know this.
Ji Qing was not surprised at all.
Although the Lu family is not a famous family, it is also a scholarly family, and it is by no means a small family, Lu Yan grew up in the Lu family, and it is said that she should always be stained with a little bit of book fragrance, but I don't know why, Lu Yan is always a small family, she will take a fancy to the surface scenery of Jingningbo Mansion, insist on marrying the Ning family, and do such things, what is impossible?
Ji Qing snorted lightly.
At this time, Yuelaiju arrived, and the three masters and servants did not continue the topic.
After lunch, when she returned to Hefu, Ji Qing excused herself for a nap, asked Honeysuckle and Holly to retreat, and when she was the only one left in the house, she took out the book she bought from Zhiyuan's study.
Honeysuckle is very careful, Xu saw that Ji Qing valued this book, and she deliberately wrapped the book with a handkerchief.
Ji Qing opened the veil and was stunned when he saw a few words on the book cover.
"Ji's Travels".
This is......
Ji Qing gently stroked these four words, and his hands trembled slightly.
The Ji family has been cultivating and reading for generations, even in the war years, the Ji family lost a lot of other things, but the books handed down by the ancestors are extremely well preserved, and not a single volume has been lost.
The ancestors of the Ji family strongly agreed with the phrase "it is better to read ten thousand books than to travel ten thousand miles", so the men of the Ji family will spend one to three years traveling around the country after they become adults, and after returning to the Ji family, they will write down what they have seen and heard along the way.
Even, every ten years, the Ji family will re-compile "Ji's Travels", because every time they are compiled, the experiences written by Ji's children will be added to the book, and "Ji's Travels" will become thicker and thicker.
The book "Ji's Travels" in Ji Qing's hand is the edition that was just compiled ten years ago.
If the Ji family hadn't had an accident at the beginning, this year, it would be time to recompile "Ji's Travels".
After the Ji family was convicted, the Ji family's property was confiscated, and not only the family property, but even the Ji family's collection of books were all emptied.
In ten years, this is the first time that Ji Qing has seen the Ji family's book collection.
And......
She turned the pages of the book and saw the familiar handwriting inside, and couldn't help but burst into tears.
This is my father's handwriting!
It's my father's old thing!
Ji Qing has liked to read travelogues since she was a child, especially "Ji's Travels" compiled by her parents and brothers with her own footprints, as if she could follow her father and brothers to travel all over the mountains and rivers.
She still remembers that ten years ago, when her father recompiled "Ji's Travels", Ji Qing looked forward to it almost day and night, but she didn't live in her father's study, but she was laughed at by her family.
Later, my father finished compiling the new edition of "Ji's Travels", and before he could hand it over to the bookstore for printing, he handed over the book to Ji Qing first.
Merely......
Before Ji Qing could read this travelogue, something suddenly happened to the Ji family.
And the only new edition of "Ji's Travels" that was stored in Ji Qing's boudoir also lost a trace.
Ji Qing never thought that she would have a chance to get this book again.
She carefully flipped the pages, for fear that she would destroy the book if she was a little stronger, and looked at the familiar handwriting on the book as if she had seen her father's face.
