Chapter 6: The New Uninvited Guest
Ji Liangqing saw that Ji Miaomiao had been shrinking in his daughter-in-law's arms and looking at them intently, so he loved them.
"Let's follow the county master, the chances of survival are much greater, and when I settle down in the future, I must save more dowry for my daughter."
In these years, a woman relies not only on her mother's family to get married, but also on the dowry.
The reason why Ye Qiuyun is the most popular among the three concubines and the most satisfied with Mrs. Ji is that she is Lizheng's daughter, and she has insight and will make her happy.
The other main thing is that she has a dowry.
Among the three concubines, only Ye Qiuyun's dowry is the richest.
Not only did she send back all the dowry gifts she had given to the past, but her father and mother also filled in the bedding and ten taels of silver.
Comes with some furniture and the like.
This was a very decent thing at the time.
Ye Qiuyun heard her husband say this, and did not refute, but lowered her head and looked at the ignorant daughter in her arms.
Her daughter is so lovely, she was born with blessings, of course she has to save a dowry.
She thought for a while and said, "Then you don't have to think about what you don't have all day long, it's serious to be down-to-earth." ”
As Mrs. Ji's son, Ji Liangqing is undeniably favored, so he is always a little hanging.
However, since escaping the famine, he has obviously matured a lot, and Ye Qiuyun is afraid that he will return to his original state in the future, so he will beat it.
Ji Liangqing's face was a little unnatural, and it was even more unnatural to see Ji Miaomiao still looking at herself with big watery eyes.
This feeling is like losing face as a father in front of his daughter.
Although the girl is not sensible, Ji Liangqing already has the potential to be a daughter slave, and she is unwilling to have a stain in front of Ji Miaomiao.
"I change it, can't I change it?" Ji Liangqing surrendered, "I will definitely save a decent dowry for our daughter!" ”
Ji Miaomiao nested in her mother's arms, and when she saw that her parents were thinking about saving a dowry for themselves on the way to escape from the famine, her heart was even more moved.
Although I somehow came to such a world, it was very different from what I imagined.
But his parents love him in every way, and his family also takes great care of him.
Ji Miaomiao secretly made up her mind that since she had such an ungodly mall space, she must use it to lead her family to settle down and be happy!
At this time, Second Brother Ji and Second Sister-in-law Ji came over and handed over two vegetable buns.
This wild vegetable bun is made with a small amount of cornmeal and sorghum flour, and there is very little dough, and wild vegetables take up most of it.
After being stored for so long, it is already very unpalatable and difficult to swallow.
But the Ji family, including the children, ate very deliciously and quickly.
After all, it was to follow these officials and gentlemen, and the previous Hu Xian Ling was not majestic enough.
The so-called old people become fine, and Mrs. Ji is worried that if the group of guards and horses fall in love with their prey, something unpleasant will happen on both sides at that time.
After all, meat is too precious, and this group of people has knives and is well-trained, and no one can beat them.
It turned out that Mrs. Ji's worries were very reasonable, and the group of guards also ate steamed buns, but pure cornmeal, and drank and swallowed them.
The group glanced at what they were eating, and then they showed a look of interest.
A few boys are also very sensible, and they don't make a fuss about eating meat.
The group of guards and Hu Xianling himself were all careless, and they didn't think there was anything wrong with the Ji family looking much better than the other homeless people.
But there are always some nasty people who are always bouncing around.
Hu Xianling is soft-hearted, which can be seen from his promise to follow the Ji family all the way.
And there are not a few people who think the same as Mrs. Ji, and on the second day, someone stopped the car again.
However, this time it was not a large family that stopped the car, only a thin woman holding a child.
The woman was so thin that she had almost a handful of bones left, so her eyes were so large that the child she was holding in her arms was so thin and small that it was impossible to see whether it was a man or a woman.
Hu Xianling heard her say that her man died on the way to escape the famine, and the mother and daughter depended on each other, so she agreed to her request without much hesitation.
Anyway, for Hu County, he didn't want him to provide food, so he agreed.
However, Ji Miaomiao, who was held in her mother's arms, inadvertently noticed that Feiqi, who seemed to be the captain of the escort team, was getting colder and colder.
It seems that they are indeed not willing to escort Hu Xianling, there must be something hidden in this.
Whether there is something hidden or not, Ji Miaomiao and the Ji family don't know, but this new woman is really a big trouble.
When she was allowed to join this team at the beginning, she knew that the Ji family was also a homeless person who was carried, and she was still a little afraid in her heart, so she didn't get involved.
Later, she watched from the side, watching Ye Qiuyun as if she didn't do anything, hugging Ji Miaomiao all day long, and even taking a look at the child, as if she had realized something.
So when she was resting on this day, she came over while Ji Liangqing was unloading things over there.
"Big sister, this is your daughter, right? How old he is, he looks really handsome. ”
She hugged her child and pretended to be affectionate.
Ye Qiuyun was suddenly greeted by her and was taken aback.
However, she stretched out her hand not to hit the smiling person, and the other party also praised her baby daughter, so Ye Qiuyun still replied,
"It's been almost two months."
"Two months?" The woman's eyes widened and her thin cheeks looked a little scary.
“…… I saw that your daughter was so big, and I thought she was a half-year-old baby. ”
Perhaps seeing that the other party was frightened by herself, the woman explained in a softened tone.
Ji Miaomiao was speechless in an instant.
For girls, no matter how old a girl is, who likes to say that she is big in front of the girl herself?
And she is only two months old, even if the baby on the way to escape is generally thin, it has nothing to do with being half a year old.
So she closed her eyes, not wanting to look at the man who said she was big.
Ye Qiuyun was a little embarrassed, but it was hard to say anything, her daughter was indeed gratifying.
I could only respond vaguely in two sentences.
Seeing that Ye Qiuyun was willing to take care of herself, this woman's face suddenly filled with joy:
"Big sister, my name is Wu Zhaodi, I am from Lingshan County, where are you?"
Then, without waiting for Ye Qiuyun to reply, she said again, "My man was beaten to death by homeless people on the way to escape from the wilderness, and I have been walking alone for so long." ”
Ye Qiuyun felt a little pity for her when she heard this, so she said, "We are from Hanshan County. ”
Since the other party didn't say which village, Ye Qiuyun was reluctant to say more.
"Then we're so close." Wu Zhaodi looked at Ye Qiuyun with a pair of eyes, as if she had something to say and stopped.
Ye Qiuyun still wants to say anything, just say it.
"Sister—sister! Mother, I want to see my sister! ”
At this time, Ji Shiliang came over, shouting all the way to see his sister.
He held a small lump of steamed buns that Mrs. Ji had given him uneaten in his hand, and while looking at his sister rarely, he was scurrying around Ye Qiuyun.
