048 Compromise
"Girl, do you say this matter is ...... Old Lady Qi" Changqing hesitated to say that he had doubts when he first heard about it.
This sentence seemed to hit a key point, and Ji Juan asked rhetorically: "Do you think it's Old Lady Qi for you?" β
Perhaps it was in response to the sentence that Cao Cao Cao arrived, and as soon as the words of the master and servant fell, Mama Tian beside Mrs. Qi came over.
"Miss, old lady, please come over."
As soon as she heard this, Ji Juan thought of what Changqing had just said to her, but she didn't notice Mama Tian's title.
Changqing also became nervous, and asked, "What did the old lady ask my girl to do?" β
Mama Tian's unruly expression made her face red, and she couldn't help but wonder: "It's Changqing who has transgressed." β
"It's okay, the old lady is in the courtyard now, although it is only a few steps away, but the young lady should wear more, so as not to worry the old lady."
Mama Tian is not a rigid person, and she does not care about a little girl in Changqing.
Only then did Ji Juan react, Mama Tian used to call her Miss Ji, but now she is called ...... Miss? In Yunyang Bofu, everyone called her Miss Jiu, it was the first time, someone called her Miss so seriously, and wanted to ask a few more questions, but she was worried that the old lady Qi was in a hurry, so she swallowed her doubts, got up and dressed in a big hat, and followed Mama Tian to the upper courtyard.
Qi Jia stood in front of the large pear blossom wood painting by the window, really writing something, and the old lady Qi opened her eyes slightly, talking to Qi Jia without a match.
Benzoin was burning in the house, and the faint smoke was faintly visible.
Seeing Ji Xuan, Qi Jia gently put down Zihao who still had ink in his hand, stepped forward and took two steps, gently shook her wrist with natural movements, and after concentrating for a moment, he slowly exhaled a breath.
"I should have let you recuperate in the courtyard, but this matter is not trivial, you have been calm in the past few days, and it doesn't hurt to think about it."
"Girl, come and sit down next to Grandmother." Old Lady Qi had already opened her eyes, with a smile in her eyes, and beckoned her kindly to let her pass.
As soon as he sat down, he had a hand stove with cloisonnΓ© enamel inlaid gems in his hand, "Why don't you come out with two hand-warming objects, Changqing, you have to pay more attention!" β
The old lady who had always been smiling couldn't help but sink her face, and Changqing also knew that it was indeed her own negligence, so she lowered her head and answered with a guilty face.
Ji Juan naturally wanted to excuse Changqing with a few words, and the old lady waved her hand, "It's okay, she's young, you're heavy now, and there should be two governors waiting by your side, grandmother is looking for it these days, Mama Tian said that there are already a few candidates, and I'll bring it over for you to see when the time comes, and if you are satisfied, stay it, and the monthly silver will come out of your grandmother's account." β
Hearing this, the old lady was really planning for her, Ji Wan was moved, but she felt that something was wrong, and just wanted to excuse herself, but the old lady had already changed her mind.
"Juan'er, since you call me grandmother, then we are a family, and grandmother will not go around in circles with you, and grandmother will say some things directly."
The old lady said and took a sip of tea, since Ji Juan had a body, all the tea in the house was collected, Qi Jia sometimes came to check to see if there was any tea hidden in her house, Changqing sometimes would find some tea from the kitchen to come back to satisfy her hunger, but she never touched it.
Occasionally, when I saw the tea soup in the tea cup with clear color, and smelled the fragrance of Longjing before the rain, I couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
"Grandmother, please."
Ji Juan said, and got closer gently, and as soon as his fingers touched the purple clay pot, his hand was caught.
"There's warm water here."
Ji Juan looked at Qi Jia's old gentleman-like face, and the corners of his mouth curled stiffly, "I thought...... This is plain water. β
Qi Jia didn't speak again, just listened carefully to the old lady.
"Grandmother thinks, recognize you as a granddaughter, in the future in the Qi Mansion, you will be the grandmother's own granddaughter, and the whole Qi Mansion will respect you and respect you."
Ji Wanzheng secretly scolded Qi Jia for not understanding human feelings, and when he heard this, he was stunned, and then he was stunned! No wonder Mama Tian suddenly called her Miss, it turned out to be because of this!
She didn't understand why the old lady had suddenly made this decision, and couldn't help but look at Qi Jia.
Qi Jia seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then looked back, "In this way, whether it is Yunyang Bofu or Nanwang Mansion, there is no reason to move you." β
His words, Ji Juan was very suspicious, if this was the case, she could tell her directly and generously, he was the one who let her join forces with him to suppress the child's affairs, and now he is the one who suddenly wants to recognize her as her sister.
It's not that she doesn't appreciate it, but she just thinks that such a turn is too abrupt.
Wait a minute...... No, Ji Juan's mind spun quickly, and at that moment, he suddenly became unprecedentedly clear!
Mrs. Qi's words have several meanings.
One is that she knows, who the child is, her relationship with Qi Jia, and the details of her past, she knows everything! Therefore, she has always felt very guilty stupidly, but she thinks to herself.
Second, this also shows the attitude of the old lady, she is not the old lady who only eats as a hobby on the surface, but has her own plans, and has the absolute right to speak in the Qi family!
So...... Qi Jia, this is a compromise? For some reason, Ji Juan suddenly felt more relaxed than ever, and it seemed that he ...... That's fine.
In fact, she seemed to have known in her heart that between her and Qi Jia would end up without a problem after all, but she felt that it was a bit sudden.
There is a chasm between them, and they can never be crossed.
Besides, since Old Lady Qi knew about this matter, it was even more impossible to let this matter develop, no matter how much she liked herself, it was impossible to sacrifice the Qi family's incense.
After seeing this clearly, it seems that something has changed its taste.
Those seem to be good, maybe they are also deliberate, Ji Juan only felt that his heart was tumbling tightly.
Some things, when they really don't stand up to scrutiny, may be better off if they are not so sober.
"No need for this, Zu...... Mother, I appreciate your kindness. β
When shouting those two words, Ji Juan hesitated.
But when I think of her little bits and pieces of herself, I feel that I am too cautious.
"Girl, I know you're uncomfortable, but in fact, doing this is the best result." Seeing that Ji Juan seemed to want to excuse himself, he came again: "And you don't have a place to go now, in Qi Mansion, everything is the safest, don't say anything, wait for the child to be born first." β
Ji Juan didn't know what else to say, she only felt that her heart was sullen, she nodded in a daze, and absentmindedly when she returned to Luotong Courtyard after dinner, it was already the time to hold the lamp.
The cold air was rising at night, and the two mothers-in-law who had brought it from Mrs. Qi quickly carried the lantern in the house with their hands and feet to look for it carefully, "This sachet should not be left in the house." β
"These flowers are all moved out, and it's best not to put these fragrant flowers in the house."
