When the sky dawned, they rushed to the entrance of the village, and half of the people were already seated on the ox cart parked there, Ji Xiaoye hurriedly pulled Ji Ranjia and sat in the middle of a bunch of daughters-in-law and aunts with a basket, and greeted them with a sweet smile.

Ji Ranjia also shouted softly.

Everyone was curious about her arrival and asked a few more questions. At the beginning, Ji Ranjia sold herself into the palace, and she handled the official teeth passing by, and the Ji family was an outsider, running around for a living all day long, and there were few families who had a good relationship, so there were almost no people who knew that she was a palace maid, except for Gu Sifan.

When she came back this time, Yu Yuan explained to the whole family, and asked them to claim that Ji Ranjia was weak when she was young, and she was sent by her parents to her aunt's house to raise her, and the relatives over there were gone, so they took people over. Otherwise, when the people of the village heard that she had been a palace maid, they would not step on the threshold of their house?

Ji Ranjia's performance is too decent, she is completely a shy little girl who has never been out much. Their topic immediately turned to something else, and Ji Xiaoye and Ji Ranjia looked at each other and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Yesterday, it was sunny, the golden sun baked the earth, the power of the autumn tiger is really not small, and the muddy ground has been dried for half a day. The ox cart grunted, and the morning sun rose on the side of the mountain, sprinkled with light, driving away the cold of the night.

Ji Ranjia thought a lot in her mind, most of them were about planning for the future, and she had to take the first step bravely and choose the people she wanted to trust in the future. No matter how much decision she made in her heart and how much preparation she made, she would still have stage fright and retreat when she arrived, just because she and her family were too miserable in her previous life.

When they arrived in the town, they got out of the ox cart and separated. The two of them first went to the blacksmith shop to report the good news to Ji Weihu, and then went to the tavern to tell Ji Weihe that they asked for leave from the master's family and went home together.

Coming out of the tavern, Ji Xiaoye took Ji Ranjia's hand and went to the medical hall, the town where they are located is not big, but it is indeed an east-west, north-south traffic artery, it can be said that it was just a lonely post station before, and gradually developed into a town, and the two streets of the cross flower can be seen at a glance.

Inns, restaurants, shows, clothing stores, grocery stores, medical clinics, etc., providing the most complete range of goods, meeting the most basic needs of passers-by, and even becoming a place for some small traders to buy.

The medical clinic opened by the Lu family is not only the most famous in the town and has a good reputation, but also is one of the best in the whole country. The two-storey building occupies almost the position of the three major facades, the hall is spacious, there are more than a dozen doctors sitting in the clinic, and on one wall is a dense drawer with various herbs, which is three times the size of the general medical hall.

Lu Xinghua, like other doctors, looked at the patient patiently, looking at it and asking questions, and was so serious that people didn't dare to come forward to disturb him. After seeing the three patients, he leaned over to the doctor next to him, whispered a few times, and said apologetically to the other patients: "Everyone line up here at Dr. Li first, and Lu needs to leave temporarily if he has something." ”

After finishing speaking, his warm eyes looked at the sisters of the Ji family who were waiting at the door, strode over, and said with a smile: "Miss Ji, Little Sister Ji, you are here to report the good news to your brother in the town, right?" Ready for dinner? ”

"Doctor Lu, we're done eating," Ji Xiaoye grinned, and she tugged at Ji Ranjia's sleeve.

Ji Ranjia pursed her lips and stepped forward, the cotton cloth covered the brilliance on her face, the ripples in her eyes were still dazzling, she lifted the cloth on the basket with her bare hands, took out a one-foot-long delicate kang screen wrapped in white muslin cloth and handed it over, and said softly: "My sister-in-law and little niece are thanks to Dr. Lu's rescue, this is our thank you gift, you can't shirk it, it's not a rare object." ”

Lu Xinghua took it unceremoniously when he heard this, he was very curious about what was a good thing under this muslin cloth, but he didn't open it because of etiquette. "Yesterday, a domestic servant sent some snacks, and a man named Lu is not good at sweets, so why don't the two girls solve it for Lu?"

Ji Ranjia didn't wait for him to turn around and recruit people, so he said loudly: "Doctor Lu, Tian Xinding can't leave the family, I have to rush back with my little sister to buy something, and we will take my sister-in-law to hold my little niece and daughter to banquet you another day." ”

Lu Xinghua's face was a little disappointed, he smiled and nodded: "Yes, come over when you are not busy, I tasted Miss Ji's cooking skills yesterday, and Lu remembered it, hoping to exchange courtesies and have a cheeky taste." ”

Cotton next Ji Ran Jia's porcelain white little face was scarlet, thinking that he was speaking straightforwardly, but when you think about it, people really only talk about food, like an exchange between diners. She hummed, made a blessing and left with Ji Xiaoye.

As soon as they turned the corner, they met Gu Sifan who was walking towards them, after the incident of Ma Matchmaker's coming to the door a few months ago, Ji Ranjia felt a little embarrassed, holding Ji Xiaoye's hand and turning around and pretending to look at the goods of the roadside stall.

"Sister Ji, Xiaoye, are you here to go shopping?" Gu Sifan obviously didn't feel embarrassed, and took the initiative to come over and say hello: "What, are you going to buy a pencil case for Ji Fuzi?" ”

As soon as his words fell, Ji Ranjia found that she was holding a pencil case embroidered with black velvet embroidered white cranes in her hand, and there were only a few in her family, if she said that she was lying if she bought it for herself or her nephews.

But who is this Ji Fuzi?

"Sister," Ji Xiaoye said in surprise, "I know you're buying it for Dr. Lu, right?" ”

Gu Sifan's eyes were deep, he directly stepped forward and took the pencil case out of her hand, took out the silver and bought it, and chuckled: "Sister Ji's vision is good, it just so happens that Gu is missing a pencil case." But," he turned his head to look at Ji Xiaoye, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's the matter with this Doctor Lu?" ”

Ji Xiaoye didn't know about Ma Matchmaker's proposal for Gu Sifan, in her world, Gu Sifan existed like a brother, and once caught birds and fish for her with her sister. She leaned over unabashedly and whispered mysteriously, "My sister and Dr. Lu have seen each other." Fourth brother Gu, Dr. Lu and my sister are talented and beautiful, a pair in the sky and a pair in the ground. Haha, I'm so happy that my sister is getting married. ”

Gu Sifan clenched the pen cover in his hand, he looked at Ji Ranjia next to him, who was embarrassed and covered Ji Xiaoye's quick mouth, the curvature of the corners of his lips couldn't bend up, and said lightly: "Sister Ji's vision is really good, the Lu family has a big business, but becoming the young lady of the Lu family saves a lot of unnecessary trouble." ”

Ji Ranjia pursed her lips, she didn't argue anything, in his opinion, she acquiesced, "Fourth Brother Gu, my sister-in-law gave birth to a girl last night, and when you wait for twelve days, if you are free, you can come to my house to sit at the table." ”

"Good," he said, staring at the thin but impenetrable cotton cloth, his heart sour, and he wanted to ask himself what he could do to get her to look the other way. Their ancient family is an ordinary family, and the family saves money for him to come out, and there are too many hardships on this road, so he gritted his teeth and survived.

And what has always supported his efforts is to go to the capital to find her, and the two form a small family, give each other warmth, and accompany each other for a lifetime. Obviously she was standing in front of him, but he felt that she was staying in a place farther away than Kyoto, perhaps in a place that he would not be able to chase in his life.

Ji Ranjia was a little absent-minded from the time she met Gu Sifan, the indissolvable coldness in the person's eyebrows and eyes made her panic and want to escape, his dark eyes looked at her, like scorching carbon, which made people boil all over.

His sense of presence is too strong, so strong that people have obviously left, and he stubbornly occupies her brain and heart.

She couldn't help but compare Gu Sifan and Lu Xinghua together, comparing every aspect of appearance, temperament, talent, and learning, Ji Ranjia was dejected and found that she felt that Gu Sifan was superior. To be more precise, he is more powerful than anyone else in her eyes and heart, maybe he was in a high position in his previous life, or maybe he doesn't know when he opened his soft heart and was invaded by him.

"Sister, what do you want?" Yu Yuan was born more than half a month prematurely, and many things had not yet had time to prepare, so the two of them went shopping for a day and bought a lot of things. Ji Ranjia has a generous eye and a good eye, and bought a lot of things for Ji Xiaoye, bracelets, silk flowers, food, etc.

The little girl looked at her things happily, and chattered for a long time before she found that her sister didn't reply to her once, so she pulled her sleeve.

Ji Ranjia shook her head, her little face was full of confusion, in fact, she had already given the answer in her heart. The more she did this, the more she didn't dare to choose that person, for fear that she wouldn't be able to control her heart, and she couldn't withstand the slightest blow.

The days of having a newborn passed in a hurry, and her heart melted when she saw the delicate little person open little by little. Maybe getting married is not a terrible thing, even if the husband's favor cannot last long, but she has children by her side, so she has more hope.

Nini is the third child of the eldest of the Ji family, and it is very likely that it will be the last child of the couple, looking at the premature, thin and weak child, they held a grand banquet for the child, and invited the village chief and a few relatively good old people and neighbors, and naturally Gu Sifan and Lu Xinghua, who are kind to the Ji family.

In her own home, Ji Ranjia was not so armed, she was wearing a snow-green skirt, her hair was tied in a bun, and her pink veil covered her upturned nose and peach blossom-like lips.

She was tall and slender, and even if she tried to pick a skirt that did not show her waist, her figure also showed a grace that the women in the village did not have. The grapes-like black eyes were filled with a faint joy, like layers of ripples in the clear pool, sparkling and shining.

She didn't go out to greet guests, but stayed in the kitchen to take charge, six small plates of cold dishes, eight meat and two vegetables, one soup and one rice.

There were three tables in Ji's house, two tables for men and one table for women, and they found the elders who accompanied the guests, so Ji Ranjia cooked for herself, Xiao Ye and the two children, and allocated some for each meal, and boiled a bowl of pig's feet and peanut soup for Yu Yuan, and made some light meals, before taking turns to eat and take care of Nini with Xiao Ye.
