Chapter 153 Mother and Son Filial Piety
When Li Zhaonian's family was in the imperial capital, they all lived in Li Zhaoting's house.
Some time ago, Li Zhaoting sent all his small families back to his hometown. Li Zhaonian was a little unhappy at that time, the family's business has been taken care of by himself all these years, and Li Zhaoting never asked. But outside and inside, Li Zhaoting is the head of the family. He said something heavier than himself.
Even Li Zhaoting mobilized a lot of money from his family due to officialdom before, and he never discussed it with him. The two brothers are not at odds with each other, and it is not a day or two.
This time, Li Zhaonian accepted the business of the imperial capital, in fact, he didn't need to make a trip in person, and his wife was newly pregnant, so he shouldn't have to travel again. But Li Zhaonian just wanted to test Li Zhaoting's attitude, so he took his wife to live in the Li Mansion together, and took advantage of this name to make some moves in private. Mrs. Li was also kept in the dark, and she couldn't bear to be separated since she was a husband and she had a deep love affair with herself.
After Mrs. Li came back with Aunt Ji, the next person reported that the two masters were not in the house.
She asked someone to arrange for Aunt Ji to rest first, and then find someone to ask where the Weiyuan General's Mansion was. Aunt Ji was anxious, so naturally she couldn't wait for a moment. Some of the people in the Li Mansion knew the address of the newly built General's Mansion and volunteered to lead the way.
Aunt Ji was very grateful, and Mrs. Li arranged for someone to drive her back in a carriage.
After getting into the carriage, Aunt Ji didn't forget to say to Mrs. Li: "He will definitely let his son come to the door in person to thank him!" ”
Mrs. Li smiled and waved her hand, signaling that it was not necessary.
After a while, the Li family's carriage stopped at the gate of the Ji Mansion.
When Aunt Ji got out of the car, she saw a pair of big stone lions at the door, extremely powerful, and she was full of emotion in her heart.
The little guy who opened the door first looked at Aunt Ji with a puzzled expression, and then suddenly woke up, "It's the old lady!" Are you the mother of General Ji? ”
Aunt Ji smiled and nodded, and the little maid hurriedly opened the door, and then immediately passed to the inner courtyard.
As soon as Ji Changge heard that his mother had arrived and was practicing swords, he ran out excitedly with the long sword, "A-Niang! ”
When Aunt Ji saw that it was her son, she was also very excited, took a few steps forward tremblingly, and hugged Ji Changge in her arms. This son is no longer the boy he used to be, and she has to lift her feet to reach his neck.
Ji Changge was relieved that his long sword had not been confiscated, so he hurriedly handed it to the little guy next to him, motioned with his eyes to help put the sword away, and then responded to his mother with both hands.
After welcoming Aunt Ji to the hall, Ji Changge smiled and said, "I just sent someone to the city gate to investigate, and A-Niang came by herself." ”
Aunt Ji also smiled, "I met good people on the road, and they took me into the city." Changed carriages, you must not know. ”
"Oh? What's going on? Also in someone else's carriage? Ji Changge asked.
Aunt Ji told Ji Changge everything that happened outside the city. After listening to this, Ji Changge first slapped his hands on the case, and said angrily: "This old Zhao is really hateful, he must have gone somewhere to just care about his own happiness!" Of course, this person patted his chest with him to ensure that he would send Aunt Ji to him safely, and he would never travel on a business trip along the way, and he would never drink or make mistakes.
Ji Changge gave him a chance, but he almost lost his mother, and when he came back, he would definitely be dealt with by military law!
However, he was a little surprised to hear that the person who sent his wife back was Li Zhaoting's sister-in-law. This Li Zhaoting couldn't wait to peel himself with cramps, and he must not have imagined that his family would help Ji Changge so much.
One by one, he naturally has to thank him for this kindness.
Ji Changge didn't think about these trivial matters first, and pulled his mother to see the room prepared for her first. Aunt Ji followed Ji Changge to visit the house first, sighing all the way, "This place is so big!" It's so spacious! That's great! Ji Changge grinned, "The emperor's rewards are naturally excellent!" ”
Aunt Ji looked at her son and smiled so much that she couldn't close her mouth, "My son is out!" Your Daddy has knowledge and comfort! As he spoke, he couldn't help but wipe the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief. Ji Changge's heart was sour, so he quickly changed the topic first, so as not to let his mother continue to be sad, "Auntie, my son specially prepared a small ancestral hall for you and invited a statue of Guanyin. In the future, if you want to worship the Bodhisattva, you can worship it at home. ”
Aunt Ji smiled, "Now I really want to worship the Bodhisattva more, thank you Bodhisattva for your blessing." ”
After looking at the front and back of the house, Aunt Ji put the tablets of Ji's father and Ji Xiaomei in the burden in the ancestral hall. After doing this, she breathed a sigh of relief and had a matter on her mind.
Ji Changge followed to the side, watching his mother carefully put the tablet away, wiped it carefully, and then incense her together.
"Old man, you and your daughter can rest assured, now that we are doing well, in a few years, when Changge marries a wife and has children, I will come down to accompany you first!" Aunt Ji's tone was calm, as if she was gossiping with a living person. Ji Changge was behind her, couldn't help but have a sour nose, turned his face away, and quickly wiped off the moistness at the corners of his eyes.
He helped his mother out, and after returning to the front hall, he remembered, "A-Niang is hungry, I'll let the kitchen prepare some food." ”
When Aunt Ji heard this, she rolled up her sleeves twice, "I'll do it myself!" ”
When Ji Changge saw her like this, he couldn't help laughing, and let her go to the kitchen to get busy by herself.
The little worker and the cook in the kitchen looked embarrassed, the general was killing chickens outside, and the general's mother was cooking inside. A group of their subordinates wanted to help with each other, but they were all refused.
She has saved all the money brought back by Ji Getuo over the years, and she has never hired a maid, and she does everything herself. People in her hometown said that she didn't know how to enjoy happiness, but she was happy, and she was enjoying happiness with such a good son.
The two of them worked hard for a long time and cooked the meal.
Ji Changge tasted the dishes made by his mother, and couldn't help but sigh, "This tastes! It's really the taste of home! Aunt Ji saw that her son was eating happily, and her heart was also happy, and she added vegetables to his bowl, "Eat more!" Look how thin you have been all these years! ”
Ji Changge stuffed it into his mouth in a big gulp, as long as his mother was happy, he could do anything.
After the meal, the mother began to get down to business.
"Son, you're not too young, it's time to ask for a wife." As she spoke, Aunt Ji took out the most important things from the baggage she was carrying, that is, the information she had collected in her hometown, the eight characters of her birthday, and the portrait of the daughters of good families.
Ji Changge was not surprised at all, this is not the first time his mother has brought it up.
This time he took his mother to live with him, and he guessed that she would mention it again, so he was prepared and listened honestly first.
"Look, although you are now also on an errand in front of the emperor, and you have been named that Weiyuan general, but after all, we have no foundation in the emperor, and the daughter of the prince and minister, I am afraid that I will not look down on our family. Although this hometown is small, it can be regarded as an outstanding person, these girls are all good people who know their roots, and they are definitely worthy of you. Aunt Ji chattered for a long time.
Ji Changge kept nodding his head in response, making a look of listening attentively.
"This, look at this, do you like it or not, the Song family is beautiful, seventeen years old, and she looks handsome, she is a good girl." As she spoke, Aunt Ji slowly unfolded a portrait and stuffed it into the singer Ji.
Ji Changge maintained a spotless smile on his face, took the portrait, but was thinking about how to get out.
"What? I don't like it, then look at this again, even Jia Shuzhen, twenty-eight years old, although it is a little smaller, but people are very sensible, and it is not worry-free to marry into the door. Aunt Ji handed over another one.
Ji Changge's gaze was not on the portrait, but drifted outside, giving a hint to the entourage at the door. When the entourage saw Ji Changge's eyes, he naturally understood what the general wanted to do, but he was unhurried and deliberately unmoved.
Ji Changge raised his eyebrows, opened his mouth, and made a lip shape without making a sound, and when the entourage saw that the general was about to be angry, he quickly coughed twice, and came in to sing a double reed with him.
He made a gesture, and then said loudly: "General, the hour is almost up, and you can't let Prince An wait for a long time!" ”
Ji Changge hummed, and then said to his mother: "Auntie, let's see later, my son is going out now, and Prince An has made an appointment with his son to deal with some things!" ”
When Aunt Ji heard this, she hurriedly said: "The prince has made an appointment with you, then you hurry up!" Hurry up! Don't keep people waiting! With that, she put away these portraits first, vacated her place, and made way for Ji Changge.
The entourage showed a happy look on his face, and was glared at by Ji Changge, so he hurriedly put on a straight face again and went out behind Ji Changge.
After going out, the attendant carefully asked, "General, what should I do?" Did you really go to find Prince An? ”
"Of course I am! lest the old lady send someone to ask. Ji Changge sighed lightly and said.
He didn't mean to deliberately deceive his mother, but now he really didn't have the heart to marry a daughter-in-law, although he had made military achievements, but the countries around Dayin were not at peace. Maybe there will be a chance to go on the battlefield again, and getting married at this time is just a distraction, and there is no benefit.
And even if it is to marry, he hopes to find someone he really likes.
A carefree prince like Duan Heng is not in a hurry to get married, so why should he be in a hurry?
Just thinking of Duan Heng, he couldn't help but think of Xiao Helai, the three of them were drinking in Ji Mansion that day, and Xiao He was sitting on his left hand. He is obviously a man, but occasionally he is a little too handsome, which makes his heart ripple. And when he saw that Duan Heng often went out with Xiao He, he was a little jealous, if he was always by his side, he would talk and laugh with him, and recite poems, wouldn't he be happy.
With this thought, he couldn't help but be stunned, and secretly scolded himself in his heart, he was really ashamed of having such thoughts about his brother. Could it be that just because Xiao He looks a little bit feminine, he mistook him for a woman, he was really dizzy!
