Ji Chenglin looked at Ji Erlan, if it is said that the marriage of children is a major event, of course, it is the parents who are in charge, but in the face of Ji Erlan's extremely clear eyes, he still can't hold back a trace of weakness in his heart. Then he looked away from Ji Chengrong and said, "Second brother, brother and sister, you have escorted your mother all the way, and you are tired, let's go back and talk again." ”

Ji Chengrong hurriedly said: "What the eldest brother said, it is the duty of a son to serve his mother. ”

Ji Chenglin personally helped Mrs. Ji into the car, followed himself, thought about it and called Ji Erlan to accompany him. "Er Lan, wouldn't it be too abrupt for you to write to you and ask someone from the princess's mansion to show your grandmother's eyes?"

Mrs. Ji was stunned when she heard this, why did the eldest son seem to have some scruples in and out of her words, but at that time, Ji Erlan obviously said it very easily.

Ji Erlan looked at Ji Chenglin's embarrassed expression, and knew what he was thinking. At the beginning, it was because Ji Erlan saved Aunt Shuang's niece that he had a relationship with the princess's mansion, and Ji Chenglin was thinking about whether it was cost-effective to use this favor to treat Mrs. Ji's eyes. "Anyway, grandmother's eyes are the most important thing," she laughs. ”

Ji Chenglin laughed dryly and responded, "You're right." ”

Old Madam Ji was confused, and she didn't know why the eldest son wanted to ask Ji Erlan's opinion, so she asked, "Cheng Lin, what do you have to do with the princess's mansion?" ”

When Ji Chenglin heard the question, he replied with honor: "It's not a son, it's Er Lan, the eldest princess and the county lord of Yuanyang both like her a lot, and often invite her to be a guest." ”

Mrs. Ji was a little stunned, how could this girl be virtuous. "That'...... The ...... of the eyes"

Ji Erlan hurriedly said: "Grandmother, don't worry, you will go to the mansion to settle it in a while, and your granddaughter will go to the princess's mansion as soon as possible to ask someone to come over and treat you." ”

Old Lady Ji was relieved when she heard this, and then frowned again and provoked a problem: "Why didn't the Qin family come?" ”

Ji Chenglin said: "The Qin family is preparing a banquet at home for your old man. ”

Old Lady Ji still adhered to the original attitude towards the Qin family in Yangcheng, and said: "Your Xinna's concubine is of noble birth, what does the Qin family know?" You should have listened to her more. ”

Ji Chenglin was startled, and hurriedly glanced at Ji Erlan, seeing that her face remained unchanged, but her eyes became cold, and quickly explained: "Mother, you must not say this again in the future." This is the capital, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, no one can surpass the rules and etiquette. If the etiquette is messed up, the son will not be able to eat and walk around. The Qin family is the wife of her son, the head of the house, so she naturally has to manage the middle feed, no matter how good Baoyue's background is, she is also a concubine. ”

Seeing that her eldest son cared so much, Mrs. Ji couldn't help but fall silent. In his heart, he hated the Qin family even more because of his humble background, but he occupied the position of his son's wife. But thinking of Qin Cheng's current future, she held back the dissatisfaction in her heart again.

Ji Chenglin was a little in a dilemma, so he had to talk to him left and right, and said: "Before my mother came, my son merged the house next door, and it has been repaired and safely repaired at this time, and my mother's residence has been arranged. When the time comes, if there is anything unsatisfactory, you can just tell the Qin family and let her prepare carefully. ”

Mrs. Ji let out an 'um' and asked, "Which side do you live on?" ”

Which side? Ji Chenglin was stunned for a moment, and then thought that when he was in Yangcheng in the past, Ji Chenglin had been living in the East Courtyard with the Gu family with Mrs. Ji, and the Qin family lived in the small West Courtyard.

He glanced at Ji Erlan, who seemed to be smiling, and couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, and said: "The son naturally lives in the original main house with the Qin family, and the mother lives in the main house of the new house, even if it is the upper room of our Ji Mansion." ”

Qin Cheng won the first class in the middle school, and was appreciated by the scholar Wang, so it can be said that he is more promising than himself. He wanted to be hit by a boulder in his heart, if he wanted a wife with a strong maternal clan, he should be more satisfied now, but what he did secretly before, what if Qin Cheng found out? He has been in conflict all this time. There is also Xue Baoyue, who has just entered the mansion, which was obviously a good thing before, but now because of Xue Jingzhi's relationship, it has become a chicken rib.

Ji Chenglin inevitably has a headache when he thinks about family affairs, and when he thinks about it, the only thing that goes well is Ji Erlan. This concubine is the most worry-free for him. Since entering Beijing, she has been able to steadily rise to prominence, and now there is a popular champion Lang to ask for marriage, and he, a father, is a little jealous of this kind of fortune.

At this time, he had to reverse his mother's concept, lest he be splinted in the middle of the time, he considered and said: "The Qin family has changed a lot during the time they have been in Beijing, and the affairs of the house can be handled in an orderly manner, and there are few places for her son to worry about. The son went to see it and promised to make his mother comfortable. Even if there is anything unsatisfactory, you can explain it to the Qin family. Now that the new house is still relatively empty, my son thinks that the two sisters, Tianjiao and Rujun, will move in with you. ”

Old Lady Ji was a little dissatisfied when she heard that he was defending the Qin family, and she was even more depressed when she heard that Sister Ji Tianjiao was even more depressed. "That cheap girl, do you still want to put it in front of me? Do you want to add some blockage to me every day? ”

Although Aunt Gu's actions are not directly related to her two daughters, she hates the house and Wu, and she doesn't blame Mrs. Ji for being angry. Ji Chenglin scolded himself for lacking heart, and he was so busy with business today that he forgot about it.

Originally, he was going to let Gu and his two daughters accompany his mother to live in the new house, with Gu's acquaintance by his side, so as not to make his mother a little unaccustomed when she first arrived in the capital, this is still Ah Jun's idea, who knew that Gu's incident happened halfway. "It's all a momentary negligence on the part of the son, don't be angry, mother, otherwise, let Baoyue live over there with you."

Mrs. Ji groaned for a while. Before this good concubine entered the mansion, the eldest son wrote to her to explain that she was a real lady, and it would be great if there was no Qin family. When she thought of this, she wanted to agree, but she heard Ji Erlan say: "Father, the emperor has not yet had a clear attitude towards the affairs of the Xue family, but Xue Jingzhi is rejected by the people in Beijing, and it is indispensable to be dismissed, or demoted to a remote county to be a magistrate. ”

Ji Chenglin also thought so and said, "What you say is reasonable. The Xue family is afraid that they are going to fade out of the capital...... "An official who has lost the hearts of the people naturally can't do things for the emperor, otherwise the emperor will be embarrassed."

Old Mrs. Ji was confused, and asked repeatedly, "What happened to Xue Baoyue's mother's family?" ”

Ji Chenglin explained a few words briefly, and Mrs. Ji's face was a lot more ugly.

Ji Erlan said: "Father doesn't have to worry too much, after all, the water spilled by the married daughter, you treat Aunt Xue as an ordinary concubine of our family, and don't talk to her about the Xue family." Presumably, it didn't have much impact on my father. ”

There is no bad influence, and naturally there is no good influence, which is chicken ribs. Xue Baoyue is indeed young and delicate, but this is not the most important thing for Ji Chenglin at all, there is no young and delicate concubine, but there are not many who have a promising mother's family. If nothing happens to the Xue family, she will be more agreeable.

Ji Chenglin nodded silently when he heard Ji Erlan's words and sighed. Anyway, Xue Baoyue still has some silver to help him, otherwise he would really lose more than he gains. "Then Erlan, who is more appropriate to let your grandmother live with?"

Ji Erlan smiled: "Why is my father so confused. Of course, it is the most suitable for you and your mother to go in the past. Grandmother is close to you, although you live there you can go over to see your grandmother, and it is convenient for your mother to take care of your grandmother on weekdays, right? ”

Of course, Ji Erlan would not let Xue Baoyue pass. Is it still necessary to divide the 'East and West Courtyards' and separate their own affairs? She had no doubt that Xue Baoyue had this plan, with her cleverness, she would first hold Mrs. Ji, and then use this to win over Ji Chenglin, and then the Qin family would become alone with her children in the old mansion, and gradually her rights would be hollowed out.

If the eldest son can live by her side, Mrs. Ji is naturally willing, but as for the Qin family, she reluctantly accepted it first. "I think that's good, so let's do it."

Ji Chenglin hurriedly agreed, and said to Ji Erlan: "I'm busy with business today, and you came back to help your mother take care of these things." ”

Ji Erlan nodded and said, "Uncle's appointment will be settled soon, and when the time comes, the court will arrange a house to come down, and my mother will inevitably have to help." I thought that my uncle should also find an uncle for Er Lan, and if my father had a suitable person in his heart, he would let my mother pay special attention to it. ”

Ji Chenglin and Mrs. Ji were both moved in their hearts, if Qin Cheng could find a good daughter-in-law, it would also be of great benefit to the Ji family. Ji Chenglin nodded hurriedly and said, "What Er Lan said is right, your mother only has such a mother's family, and of course your father will help from time to time." ”

When the carriage arrived at the gate of Ji's mansion, Ji Erlan helped Mrs. Ji get out of the carriage. I saw that the Qin family was waiting in front of the door with Xue Baoyue and Ji Tianjiao's sisters.

Because Mrs. Ji's eyes couldn't see, she didn't have to look at everyone. Qin stepped forward and said, "Mother, it's the daughter-in-law who is unfilial, and she can't be in front of you and makes you suffer." ”

With the previous conversation as a foreshadowing, Old Lady Ji's attitude towards the Qin family was much calmer, at least she knew that she couldn't be like before. Seeing that Qin's words and deeds were very different from before, he inevitably regretted that he had fallen for Aunt Gu's way and made her blind herself. Now she can't see anything, she doesn't know how her eldest son's mansion is, she doesn't know what has changed in everyone.

With such thoughts, she was anxious to ask Ji Erlan to invite a famous doctor to diagnose and treat her. He didn't bother to deal with others, so he only held Qin's hand and said, "Okay, let's go in." ”

Xue Baoyue's face turned a little blue, but she quickly covered it up. glanced at Ji Erlan and said: "Erlan is really the one who investigated the case for the emperor, and he caught the murderer for the old lady, I heard that he is still a monk?" ”

She said that the murderer was a monk, and she didn't mention the Gu family, because she wanted to sell her sister Ji Tianjiao and provoke hatred between them. Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Ji Tianjiao and Ji Rujun's eyes looked at Ji Erlan. Ji Rujun couldn't hide the complicated look on her face, Ji Tianjiao's eyes were full of hatred, and she couldn't wait to pounce on her and tear her up.

Ji Erlan looked sad and said, "How dare Aunt Xue mention this? The Gu family was personally executed by the old lady, in order to protect the reputation of the eldest sister and the third sister, what do you mean by mentioning it so unreservedly? ”
