Chapter 70: The Grandfather's Family
"Auntie, can you take me with you when you go to the capital this time? I also want to go to the capital to see it. Tong Jiaxin affectionately hugged Aunt Luo's arm and coquettishly with her, "I heard that the capital is full of gold, and it is very luxurious, and I don't know if it's true or not." Auntie, you can take me with you to see and open your eyes. ”
Aunt Luo's hands were sore from her shaking, and she hurriedly pressed Tong Jiaxin's hand and turned her head: "Not this time, I'll pick you up next time." ”
"Why not this time?" Tong Jiaxin was unhappy, so she suddenly let go of the hand holding Aunt Luo and looked at her with a pout.
"If I only take you alone, what about the Fifth Young Master, Miss Seven, and Miss Nine? What should the wife think? Aunt Luo patiently said to her, "The old lady asked me to go to the capital to take care of your father, but I snatched the errand from my wife. At this juncture, it is better for you and me to keep a low profile. ”
After hearing this, Tong Jiaxin also felt that Aunt Luo's words made some sense, but she was still a little unhappy in her heart.
Aunt Luo raised her hand and stroked her face, and said to her in a consultative tone: "When I settle down in the capital, I will tell your father that I want to take you over to live for a while, okay?" ”
Tong Jiaxin had to nod and agree: "Okay, then you must remember to tell your father earlier about picking me up and staying there." ”
Aunt Luo smiled and patted her face: "I know, my aunt can't bear you." From the time you were born until now, your aunt has never left you. ”
Tong Jiaxin leaned on Aunt Luo's arms with attachment.
"It's okay to go to the old lady and have a look." Aunt Luo touched Tong Jiaxin's hand one by one.
Tong Jiaxin pouted: "Grandmother likes the third sister the most, and I can't show my face as well as the third sister once I go many times." ”
"Then go more." Aunt Luo lowered her head, rarely serious, "Listen to my aunt's words, my aunt is not at home, and if something happens, I will go and tell the old lady." You are the young lady of the Tong family and the granddaughter of the old lady. The old lady is older, and she prefers good children who are obedient and dependent on her. ”
Tong Jiaxin's eyes rolled when she heard this, and she raised her head after a while: "I know." ”
……
Tong Jiayan taught Tong Jianian to read while waiting for Xiao Ji to come back.
When I went out, I was full of spring breeze.
After coming back, Xiao Ji's face was like a frosted eggplant.
When he entered the house and saw that Tong Jiayan was still there, Xiao Ji reluctantly pulled the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile that was more ugly than crying: "Jiayan is also here, have you eaten?" ”
Mother Zhou shook her head at Tong Jiayan behind her back.
Tong Jiayan put down the book in his hand.
"It's not too early, it's time to go to bed every year."
The nurse came over and hugged Tong Jianian back to the room.
Suddenly, only Tong Jiayan and Xiao Ji were left in the room.
Xiao Ji sat there motionless in a daze, completely forgetting that Tong Jiayan hadn't left yet.
Seeing that she was really worried, Tong Jiayan had no choice but to change her mind and reveal some things to her: "Mother, don't worry, it won't be long before you can see your father." ”
Xiao Ji turned his face and shook his head a little sadly: "I can't see it, I just came back from the old lady, and she said that she wanted me to stay and fulfill my filial piety, and let Aunt Luo move to the capital to take care of the master." ”
After two lifetimes, sure enough, Mrs. Tong and Aunt Luo still had the same idea.
It's just a pity that this time, she won't let them get their wish again.
"No, it won't." Tong Jiayan said.
She smiled softly, and spoke in a quiet and gentle voice: "Didn't we just write to my father?" What did the mother write to the father? I wrote a lot about my mother anyway and showed it to my father. After reading the letter, his father knew that his mother missed him very much, so he would definitely send someone to pick his mother up and go to the capital to reunite with him. ”
Xiao Ji didn't expect Tong Jiayan to write about her in the letter, and immediately blushed: "Oops! You kid! Why are you so naughty! ”
Tong Jiayan showed a playful smile: "I'm just telling the truth, my father is wise and martial, so I naturally know that I am telling the truth." ”
Xiao Ji was extremely embarrassed, and couldn't help but look forward to it: "Is this really okay?" After thinking about it and hesitating, "But it will take several days for this letter to come and go, can the master's reply be in time for Aunt Luo's departure?" ”
Tong Jiayan smiled: "I'll catch up." ”
……
Aunt Luo has been preparing to go out these days.
Tong Jiayan went to his grandfather's house.
The Ji family is an old scholarly family, and the ancestors have been the princes and princesses, but later the talents in the clan declined, and the fame of the family gradually deteriorated.
When Tong Jiayan arrived at Ji's house, his aunt Zhang and cousin Ji Xiaoqiao were waiting for them in Mrs. Ji's room.
In addition, she also unexpectedly met Mrs. Tian and Tian Jiaojiao here.
"Look at the kids." Old Madam Tian smiled and glanced at Old Madam Ji, "I said that I should say hello to the child in advance." After she finished speaking, she stretched out her hand to Tong Jiayan, "Good boy, come over to me and let me take a good look." Well, I haven't seen it for a while, and the person is a lot more beautiful. It's a day at a time. ”
Tong Jiayan bowed his head at the right time and smiled shyly.
"This time, I invited you over with the help of your grandmother, because I want to thank you well." Old Madam Tian helped her sideburns, "Thanks to your soothing incense, my old problem of headache and trouble has improved a lot." ”
Tong Jiayan carefully looked at Mrs. Tian's complexion.
The fine lines at the corners of the eyes are the marks left by the years, but the strength of the eyes is proof of good spirits.
"The tranquil incense only has the effect of helping sleep, and it treats the symptoms but not the root cause. If you want to cure the root cause of the disease, you need to take medication. ”
As soon as her words fell, Old Madam Tian's face showed surprise.
"Do you know how to heal?"
She asked in surprise, only to find that the other people in the room all looked calm and ordinary.
"How do you ...... Do you know that? ”
Only then did Mrs. Ji smile and speak: "I knew it before you, but it was only a few days. As she spoke, she picked up a small porcelain vase from the maid beside her.
"Didn't you ask me if my cough seems to be better, thanks to this."
Mrs. Ji opened the porcelain bottle, poured out a small pale yellow pill, and took it.
The pill was swallowed smoothly, and Old Madam Ji had a comfortable expression on her face.
"It's all thanks to Jia Yan who made lung tonic pills for me by himself. I've only been eating for three days, and I already feel much better, and I hardly cough anymore when I sleep at night. ”
Mrs. Tian looked surprised, looked at Mrs. Ji, and then at Tong Jiayan.
"I said a good thing a long time ago, she's very good." Tian Jiaojiao walked to Tong Jiayan's side with a smile and took her hand around her, "Isn't my swimming also from Jiayan's church, she can also make snacks and pastries, which are better than those bought outside." ”
Tong Jiayan smiled slightly: "This is going around the corner and asking me to eat." ”
Tian Jiaojiao stretched out her hand and said with a smile: "Then do you give it or not?" ”
