Chapter 5 5: A New Beginning
Early the next morning, Ji Shu went to Ji Mo's "Dunmin Courtyard" under the guidance of the maid. Because he didn't have anything in the first place, he didn't need to move around, and it was clean to follow the maid alone.
Ji Mo was waiting for him in the courtyard. The boy was in the courtyard, and there was no one around, so he probably sent the person out. Seeing Ji Shu coming over with the maid, he didn't speak, just stared at Ji Shu with a pair of big eyes.
"Young Master!" The maid stepped forward and bowed.
"Hmm." Young Master Ji snorted, he heard it.
"Madame explains, let the young master and the young master go to the front hall for dinner."
"Hmm. You go down first. Ji Mo replied without an extra expression, and the maid gave another salute and left.
"You ......" Ji Mo was a little unnatural, and said to Ji Shu hesitantly, "I really don't remember anything?" β
Hearing this, Ji Shu didn't seem to be surprised, and nodded naturally: "Yes!" After speaking, he bit his lip and added softly, "I don't remember anything." Then as if to comfort himself, he raised his face and smiled at Ji Mo, "Maybe I didn't have a good time before, so it's okay to forget." As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw such a beautiful big house, such a good father-in-law, how wonderful! There is also a lovely sister Aning, a ...... Brother. β
Ji Mo frowned faintly, "One...... Brother? β
He's a little awkward, it's the first time he's been a senior brother - A-Ning isn't yet. Facing the new junior brother, I felt that I was not used to getting along with him, and I couldn't help but be curious, and I couldn't help but want to stand up for a while.
"Daddy likes you very much, in the future, don't let him down." After he said this, he looked at Ji Shu and said to himself: Will people be too stupid? It's best not to make a fuss like A-Ning, otherwise as a senior brother, I will have to my heart.
Then, as if he remembered something, he asked, "Do you want to see your room first?" β
"That ......," Ji Shu remembered the maid's words.
The first time I have dinner with my stepfather and stepmother, will it be bad to be late?
"No delay." Ji Mo seemed to know what he was going to say, and said with confidence.
Although Ji Shu was new to the city, he was not restrained, he couldn't bear to brush his mind, and said generously, "Okay-is that one?" β
He pointed to the three main rooms opposite, the one to the west.
Ji Mo nodded, a little surprised in his heart.
"I'm guessing." Ji Shu was a little embarrassed when he saw the surprised expression that flashed on Ji Mo's face.
"It was my study, and I vacated it. It's yours now. Ji Mo took Ji Shu into the house, "The one on the east side is mine." β
The room is large, and there is an elegant screen between the outer room and the inner room, so there is a simple study and bedroom. Ji Shu looked at the spacious and beautiful living room, the tables and chairs with simple and generous furnishings, and the neat and tidy four treasures of the study on the desk, and he liked and moved in his heart. His fingers brushed over the edge of the desk, and the desk was a little icy.
Everything is real, not a dream.
"If you like it." Ji Mo stood aside and took Ji Shu's emotions in his eyes, "It's time to go." β
They walked out of Dunmin Courtyard and walked through a small garden, Ji Mo pointed to a courtyard diagonally opposite the garden, and told him that it was A-Ning's "Wanning Xiaozhu".
The name of Aning's place of residence is simple and straightforward.
Ji Shu and his wife were waiting for Ji Mo and Ji Shu to arrive in the flower hall.
"Xianggong, do you think Mo'er and Shu'er can get along? Mo'er has had few playmates since she was a child, I don't know if he will adapt to having one more junior brother? β
"It should be fine, boys get along with each other." Ji Wei took a sip of mellow tea and said to his wife, "Mo'er doesn't follow me, he is quite similar to his uncle, this kid doesn't talk much, and he knows that his hard work is still relatively stable." As for Shu'er...... Those eyes are smart, maybe they love to move, so the two children complement each other. β
Chen Zhuoer thought about his son and smiled. Why is this kid like his big brother! That old-fashioned and dignified appearance makes people feel funny when they think about it.
Ji Wei saw his wife smiling, and he also remembered an interesting story, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. Once, the boy was in a hurry to learn to ride a horse, and he neglected to stumble under his feet. Ji Wei waited on the edge of the racecourse, seeing that he hadn't gotten up for a long time after falling and hurting, and he didn't go to help, and jokingly said, "Mo'er, it hurts, right?" Even a little boy can cry once in a while, and I will never laugh at you. β
Ji Ping Ji An couldn't see that he wanted to help, Ji Jian "coughed", and stopped the feet of the two of them trying to move forward, so he had to give up. The others on the side didn't dare to act without permission, so they just looked at the sky speechlessly.
Ji Mo struggled for a while, and then stopped crying. He loosened his brows with difficulty, got up with a calm face, brushed the wrinkled clothes on his chest with his small hands, walked over with a half-limp and half-limped, glanced at Ji Xian, who didn't know if he was still his father, snorted, and turned to walk towards his pony.
is still seven-year-old Ji Mo uses actions to interpret what is called tsundere.
At this moment, the arrogant Young Master Ji walked all the way to his parents' courtyard with his freshly baked junior brother.
A-Ning had been playing in the yard for a while, and when she saw her brothers enter the "Fun Plum Garden", she ran over happily.
"Brother, forgive brother!"
"A-Ning, run so fast again!" Ji Mo had no expression on his face, and reminded her strangely.
"Sister Ning, you have to be careful of falling." Ji Shu smiled.
A Ning grimaced at Ji Mo, smiled and took Ji Shu's hand, "Daddy and Ah Niang are in the flower hall." β
The Plum Garden is the residence of the lord and his wife. Mrs. Chen loves plum blossoms, and she planted many white and red plum trees in the open area of the garden. At this time, some plum blossoms have already opened, the fragrance is light, and some contain budding branches, delicate and lovely. A few people walked inside, passed the front hall of the Fun Plum Garden, passed through the verandah, passed by a garden, passed through the east and west wings, and came to the flower hall.
Ji Jian couldn't help but smile at the corner of his lips when he saw the three children together. Ji Mo Shili has seen his parents, Ji Shu has followed Ji Mo, and he has seen his father-in-law and mother-in-law. Anin sat down beside her mother.
A few people sat down, and the maids served the food to the table and stood aside.
Ji Shu smoothed his sleeves and sat up straight, changing the pleasant face just now, Ji Mo and Ji Shu couldn't help but sit up straight and straighten their backs. Ji Wei straightened up and said solemnly: "Today is the first time our family has gathered together for breakfast. In the future, in addition to dinner, you will come here to use it together, breakfast and lunch will be prepared by yourself in the kitchen of your Dunmin Courtyard, and you don't need to come over - our Ji family has no rules, only a hundred family mottos and a family law. No matter who it is, if he violates the family motto and does not distinguish between right and wrong, and does something wrong, then he will be served by the family law, and he will be punished with a whip at the least, and expelled from the teacher by cutting off his hands at the worst. After saying that, he paused, and felt that his whole body was too serious from the hair to the toes. So he cleared his throat and replaced it with a natural and easy-going look, looking much more relaxed, and continued, "Shu'er will work hard with Mo'er to complete the daily homework in the future, and you can't be careless." Mo'erβ" He turned his head to look at Ji Mo, "After breakfast, give Shu'er a copy of the daily homework schedule and family law and family precepts." Then he paused, and then looked at Ji Shu: "The family motto and family law must be memorized every night before going to bed, and Shu'er must memorize the family motto and family law in mind." β
The two boys nodded yes.
At this moment, in Ji Shu's eyes, Ji Shu's image is suddenly different, and he can't tell what is different.
A sense of reverence arose in his heart.
"Azhuo. Do you have anything to add? After Ji Shu finished speaking, he asked his wife.
"Nothing, what you said is already very good," Mrs. Chen's eyes softened, "as long as they grow up healthy!" - Hurry up and eat, the porridge is going to be cold. β
On the dinner table, there are quiches, hibiscus pastries, crystal buns, and lotus root crispy pork...... The yam and red date porridge alone makes people appetize.
