Chapter 8: Chasing a Wife

At the same time, Ji Shaotian was standing in the front hall of the General's Mansion to see the original owner's mother's family.

"Shaoting, this is your eldest aunt. Standing behind her are your eldest cousin Wang Zhiling and your second cousin Wang Zhiji. Wang Xiao introduced to Ji Shaotian with a smile.

Ji Shaotian shouted obediently: "Auntie, cousin Ling, cousin." ”

Xu Lihua is a person who practices martial arts, with a straightforward personality, although Ji Shaotian is covered with pockmarks on her face, her temperament is clean and well-behaved, she likes it at first sight.

immediately stepped forward and saluted: "I've seen Princess Qi." ”

Ji Shaotian hurriedly stretched out his hand to help people: "Uncle, in your own home, you don't need to do these false courtesies." If you tell me to lean less, it's fine. ”

Xu Lihua didn't twist either, and said briskly: "Okay, then I'll call you to lean less in the future." ”

Wang Zhiling and Wang Zhiji have been secretly observing Ji Shaotian, and seeing that although she is a little darker, her temperament is not bad, so they also stepped forward to call someone.

Wang Xiao was very happy, touched the beard on his chin and said, "Pear Blossom, you cleaned up the courtyard where Ah Lian lived before, and Shao Tian lived in the General's Mansion during this time." ”

"Okay, daughter-in-law will clean up." Xu Lihua stepped forward and grabbed Ji Shaotian's hand, "Shaotian, my aunt will take you to see your mother's yard." ”

Ji Shaotian has this intention, although she is not the original owner, but in the end she occupies the original owner's body, and it is essential to establish a good relationship with the original owner's relatives.

Of course, the prerequisite is a relationship that is worth maintaining.

Like the relationship between the life and death of the original owner, there is no need to waste time to maintain.

When Xu Lihua left with Ji Shaotian, there were a few men left in the front hall.

Wang Xiao sat down and beckoned his son and grandson to sit down.

"Entering the palace today, your father and I have already stated that we will stay in the capital, and the southern border will be temporarily guarded by your second uncle." He said.

In fact, before returning to Beijing, they had already guessed the holy will. To say this, it is just to conform to the emperor's will and avoid being suspicious.

Southern Xinjiang has been very peaceful in recent years, and there has been no war on the border. In recent years, the courtiers have repeatedly provoked the relationship between the Wang family and the emperor, and the Wang family no longer leaves people in the capital to seek work, and it is difficult to guarantee that it will not cause the emperor's suspicion and lose the emperor's heart after a long time.

"The Holy One has promised this." Wang Xiao looked at his two grandsons, "Have you two thought it through?" Participate in this year's scientific examination. ”

"Yes, the grandchildren have thought it through." Wang Zhiling and Wang Zhiji replied in unison.

Wang Xiao nodded with satisfaction, General Zhenyuan's Mansion has been guarding the southern border for many years, and it is time for someone to serve in the court and speak for the Wang family.

"Father, what do you think of Shao Dumping returning to the house for a while?" Wang Su suddenly asked.

These words did not avoid Wang Zhiling and Wang Zhiji, obviously wanting them to know Wang Xiao's opinion on this matter, or the Wang family's opinion on Ji Shaotian.

After all, Ji Shaotian is now the royal daughter-in-law.

Wang Xiao naturally knew Wang Su's intention to ask this, he pondered for a moment, and said: "She is your third sister's only flesh and blood, and she has half of our Wang family's blood flowing on her body, and she is also the blood of the Wang family. ”

"Our Wang family has always been short-sighted. How you protect your flesh and bones, how you protect her! ”

"Yes, my son knows." Wang Su replied.

Having said that, after all, it is not a child who has grown up by herself, and before you want to protect her shortcomings, you must also see if she has a good character.

If she had been raised crooked by the Marquis of Boyi Mansion all these years, and the Wang family had no way to correct her, he would not blindly protect her shortcomings.

Wang Zhiling and Wang Zhiji are happy because they finally have a sister.

The two glanced at each other, and they all got up to say goodbye, wanting to get along with their cousin as soon as possible.

On the other side, Xu Lihua led Ji Shaotian to the courtyard where the original owner's mother lived before she got married.

After so many years, the furnishings in the room still reveal a bit of girlish atmosphere, elegant and vibrant. It can be seen that after so many years, the room has not been occupied by other people.

"This place has always maintained the way your mother lived before her death, even if we are not in the capital, there are servants who clean it regularly. You see what you are missing, and your aunt immediately sends someone to buy it. Xu Lihua said.

Ji Shaotian shook his head obediently: "No need, there are all kinds of things here." However, there is one thing that I need to trouble my aunt to help me. ”

"You say, my aunt will help you." Xu Lihua said briskly.

Ji Shaotian didn't twist, and said directly: "There is a dowry girl by Shaotian's side, called Little Rabbit." After a while, the king of Qi came to the general's mansion, and if he didn't have this girl with him, he asked his aunt to help ask. ”

Wang Su is wise and gentle, generous to those close to him, and the back house is clean, and he only married Xu Lihua. Therefore, Xu Lihua didn't understand the twists and turns in the back house, and when she heard Ji Shaotian say this, she didn't think much about it.

She replied: "It's simple, it's on my aunt." ”

"Thank you, aunt." Ji Shaotian likes Xu Lihua from the bottom of her heart, she actually wants the dowry list of the original owner's mother.

When the original owner married King Qi, because of the people in the palace staring, the stepmother didn't dare to deduct the original owner's dowry, but in the end she still deducted some.

Now that she is living in place of the original owner, how much does the Boyi Marquis Mansion owe to the original owner, so she will naturally have to pay it back twice.

But she didn't mention it because she hadn't seen her grandfather's family for many years and didn't know each other. In a few days, when the time comes, it will not be too late for her to mention it.

"Sister Shaolean." At this time, Wang Zhiling and Wang Zhiji walked in from outside and called Ji Shaotian affectionately.

The smile on Ji Shaotian's face was a little uncontrollable, after all, in the last days, she was already thirty years old. Now the two cousins in front of me, one is eighteen years old and the other is sixteen.

She didn't really want to get too close to the two teenagers. But the two teenagers took the initiative to come up, and Ji Shaotian, who was already old enough to be an aunt, had to call someone again, "Cousin Ling, cousin." ”

She comforted herself that the more she called, the more she got used to it.

"See what we've brought you?" The two of them mysteriously took out a burden from behind them.

When Xu Lihua saw it, she immediately smiled and said, "You two monkeys, when did you prepare a gift on my back?" ”

Wang Zhiji raised his chin arrogantly, and said a little proudly: "We have always known that my aunt has a daughter who lives in the capital. Before returning to Beijing, I prepared gifts early. ”

After speaking, he also leaned close to Xu Lihua and whispered, "Mother, you won't be prepared for nothing, right?" She was my aunt's only daughter. ”

Xu Lihua stretched out her hand and pushed Wang Zhiji away with a look of disgust, "Mother is naturally ready." ”

Wang Zhiji was disgusted by his mother, dodged with a smile, and then stuffed the burden into Ji Shaotian's hand: "Sister Shaotian, open it up and take a look." ”

After speaking, he turned around and snatched the burden from Wang Zhiling's hand, and stuffed it into Ji Shaotian's hand: "Take a look, it's beautiful." ”

Ji Shaotian, who was given a gift for the first time in his life, was a little at a loss for a while, and was about to open it to see what kind of gift it was, when the porter came to report that Wei Chiqi came.
