"Well, no one said, I heard it wrong." Tong Jiayan said jokingly.

Tong Jiaqi looked at her with round eyes, and her cheeks bulged out with anger.

She won't let her come, she will come tomorrow! I'm going to go against her, I'm going to be angry with her!

At this time, a maid hurriedly ran in from outside.

Lu Wu reprimanded with a straight face: "What are you doing in such a hurry?" Don't you know that there is a master in the house? Where are the rules you learned? ”

The maid hurriedly lowered her head and explained: "The slave maid just heard the porter's mother-in-law say that the third master and the third wife are back!" ”

It was Miss Seven who had instructed her to keep an eye on the movement outside, and if the third master came back, she would come over to report it as soon as possible.

As soon as Lu Wu heard this, she didn't care about teaching the maid rules, and immediately turned her head to look at Tong Jiayan.

"The third uncle is back?" Tong Jiaqi asked in surprise, turned her head to look at Tong Jiayan again, and saw that she didn't seem to react, so she consciously kindly helped the maid and asked, "What about that person?" Where is it now? "It stands to reason that when the third uncle comes back, he should go to see his grandfather and grandmother first, right?

Sure enough, the maid immediately said, "Go to Songheyuan." ”

Tong Jiaqi got up and walked out, took two steps, and turned around: "You're not leaving?" She is also ready to accompany her to Songheyuan with kindness.

Tong Jiayan came back to his senses, smiled at her and shook his head: "I'm not going over, my grandfather and grandmother shouldn't keep them for too long, and my father and mother should come back in a while." I went directly to Fang Zhi Yuan and waited for them. ”

"Whatever you want." Tong Jiaqi pursed her lips and prepared to leave.

Tong Jiayan looked at her back and suddenly said, "Thank you." ”

Tong Jiaqi paused, was stunned for a long time, and suddenly turned around: "Who wants you to thank you!" Annoyed, he dropped this sentence angrily, and ran away on his own, and even forgot to bring the maid.

It took a long time for Tao'er, who had been forgotten here, to come back to her senses, hurriedly said goodbye to Tong Jiayan, and hurriedly chased after her outside the courtyard gate.

"Miss, you wait for the slave!" She shouted as she ran.

Tong Jiaqi has long since disappeared.

Qingju, who was standing at the door, suddenly said strangely: "Miss, I seem to have seen the face of the third lady just now...... It's red. ”

Luwu pursed her lips and smiled.

……

As soon as he came out of Songhe Temple, Xiao Ji breathed a long sigh of relief.

Tong Changqing, who was walking in front, couldn't help but glance at her with his peripheral vision when he heard it.

After Mama Zhou caught Tong Changqing's eyes, she hurriedly pretended to be concerned and held Xiao Ji's hand and said, "I've been driving for several days in a row, and my wife is afraid that she is tired, right?" Now that she is back at home, my wife can rest and rest later. ”

Mama Zhou is Xiao Ji's grandmother who married from her mother's family, and she watched Xiao Ji grow up. Because she has no children and no daughters under her knees, she regards Xiao Ji as her own child in her heart, and she is sincere to Xiao Ji.

There are big and small things around Xiao Ji's side, and they all like to ask Mama Zhou for ideas.

Sure enough, after hearing her ask, Xiao Ji smiled and pressed his head and said, "I'm a little tired." He asked Tong Changqing with concern, "Master, when we go back to our own courtyard later, you can rest for a while." ”

Tong Changqing hummed noncommittally.

Mama Zhou quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Mrs. soft temperament, everything is based on the master, in the mother's house when there is the old lady to protect, after marrying the Tong family, less than a year, with the master out of Jinling, no in-laws need to be filial piety from time to time, no concubine through the room in front of the eyes, life is comfortable and do not need to mention, the mind is as simple as at home before.

But now that he has returned to Jinling with his master, if his wife is still living without scheming like before, I am afraid that she will suffer.

Fortunately, she is still by her side to remind his wife.

Mama Zhou thought so, and listened to Xiao Ji talking to herself as she walked: "I haven't come back for so many years, and I don't know if our yard can still be inhabited immediately." Master, why don't you take the children to the outer courtyard for a while, and then send someone to tell you when I have cleaned the yard? ”

As soon as Mama Zhou heard this, she knew that something bad was going to happen.

Xiao Ji's starting point is to be kind, but if these words are heard by people with a heart and reach the ears of the old lady, it will inevitably cause some unnecessary misunderstandings.

"Mrs. forgot? Didn't you already tell Zijuan to go back to the third room to clean the room first? Presumably, at least one of them should have been cleaned by this time. ”

Xiao Ji raised his eyebrows in slight surprise.

When did she tell Zijuan to go back to the yard to clean up first, why didn't she remember?

Speaking of which, Xiao Ji looked around and realized that yes, Zijuan was not there.

Xiao Ji was about to speak, and Mama Zhou said again: "Besides, although the old lady has not lived at home for a long time, there is an old lady at home, presumably someone will come to clean our Fangzhi Courtyard every day." The old lady doesn't have to worry about it, the slaves and maids can move in immediately after turning around and changing the sheets and curtains. ”

Mama Zhou said respectfully with a smile.

These words are more chewy.

On the one hand, he secretly erected a virtuous image of the housewife for Xiao Ji's family, and on the other hand, he faintly flattered Mrs. Tong, and also left Tong Changqing in the main room of the inner courtyard, so as not to give the Ziwei courtyard the opportunity to see the master alone.

Tong Changqing still hummed concisely, and his footsteps did not stop, but he obviously went to Fangzhi Courtyard.

……

Zijuan was very shocked when she saw Tong Jiayan in Fangzhi Courtyard.

She was originally a maid next to Daji's side, and later Daji's passed away, she also took care of Tong Jiayan for a period of time, and when Xiao Ji's got married, Mama Zhao secretly stumbled her and drove her out of Qingfeng Yuan, becoming a third-class maid in Fangzhi Academy, and finally followed Xiao Ji's to Luzhou, and it took a few years of hard work before she was promoted to a first-class maid again.

I haven't seen each other for a few years, and I didn't expect Miss Seven to grow so big.

If the first lady had a spirit in heaven, she would definitely feel gratified.

"This is Sister Zijuan, right?" Tong Jiayan smiled slightly and talked to Zijuan.

Zijuan was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly squatted down and saluted: "Yes, slave Zijuan, I have seen Miss Seven." After finishing speaking, he was slightly puzzled, "Miss Seven still remembers the slave?" "How else would you recognize her at a glance?

Tong Jiayan nodded with a smile: "There are some impressions." ”

She walked in and saw a maid changing the bed tent inside, and a pair of lifelike mandarin ducks were embroidered on the hookah-colored bed net, the color was fresh and elegant, and the trance made the inner room cool.

Tong Jiayan remembered that the mandarin ducks on this bed tent were still embroidered by Xiao Ji's own hands, which conveyed her yearning for her married life.

Only envy mandarin ducks, not immortals.

Qingju was holding a gourd bottle from the outside, with a few freshly picked gardenias inserted inside, and the faint fragrance quietly spread out in the inner room after she entered the door, she walked to Zijuan inquiringly and said, "Sister Zijuan, where do you think this flower is better?" ”
