In March of Yangchun, the spring is bright and beautiful, and the peach blossoms in Luomeiyuan are blooming in clusters, delicate and beautiful, like a graceful girl.
Mrs. Ji sat on the rattan chair in the corridor, counting the flowers on the branches boredly.
It was still a little chilly in March in the capital. Mother Rong took a thin blanket and covered her lap, handed over a cup of bird's nest, and said softly, "Old lady, you didn't eat a few bites of breakfast, the kitchen stewed rock sugar Bird's nest, eat some while it's hot."
Mrs. Ji had no appetite, she leaned lazily on the back of her chair, and pointed to the door: "Go and have someone check, have Mingxiu returned?"
Rong's mother said: "Didn't Dongmei look at it just now? She didn't reply. If the young master is coming back, will someone pass the news in advance?"
"Oh." Mrs. Ji sighed boredly. The kid was always away from home before, so it wasn't so difficult. Why did she scratch her heart and lungs this time
Mother Rong has served the old lady for so long, and she understands herself better than the old lady herself. Seeing her sigh and sigh, why don't you understand? He smiled and said, "You miss those two little ones, don't you?"
Mrs. Ji complained quietly: "Isn't it? I've been looking forward to two little great-grandchildren for so many years, is it easy for me? It's been so long and I won't send my little great-grandson back..."
"great grandmother!"
Mrs. Ji laughed at herself mockingly: "Look, look, look, I miss those two children so much, I just heard them call me."
Rong's mother smiled: "You heard me right, look."
Mrs. Ji looked in the direction Mama Rong pointed, and saw two little buns with a black color number running over hand in hand.
Yes, hand in hand, since his sister always ran faster than him, Jing Yun, unwilling to lag behind, took his sister's little hand very thoughtfully.
The two white and tender little glutinous rice dumplings, after going out for a few months, turned into a pair of black rice dumplings when they came back. Mrs. Ji was so dumbfounded that she almost didn't dare to recognize them.
It's no wonder that the two little buns, the sun on the sea is too big, it seems to grow on the top of the head, all the way back from the sun, don't they become two little blacks
But even if it is a little black man, he is still the most beautiful little black man in the world, with big eyes, long eyelashes, a small mouth, showing a mouthful of small white teeth, so cute!
Mrs. Ji sat up excitedly, and said, "Quick! Let great-grandmother see!"
Xiao Baozi jumped up the steps hand in hand, and stood in front of Mrs. Ji.
Mrs. Ji caressed the shoulders of the two, looked left and right, up and down, and smiled from ear to ear: "It's grown taller!"
Jing Yun looked at his younger sister who was half a head shorter than himself, but now seemed to have popped out, and stood on tiptoe very deliberately.
Mrs. Ji hugged the two little guys into her arms. The scene where the two little guys were kidnapped by the lion dance a year ago terrified the old lady. Of course, she didn't know that the trafficker was terribly frightened by the little bun named Wangshu. , She was so anxious, if Qiao Zheng hadn't sent a handwritten letter, she might not be able to survive this year.
During the period, Mingxiu sent several messages, saying that everything was fine with the children, and she really let go of her heart, but after the two little guys left for such a long time, she was also strangely worried, and she thought it was too much at first. She will be able to go back after the new year, but she can look forward to the first month after the new year, and look forward to February after the first month, and now it is March, and her hair has turned a few gray hairs before finally looking forward to the little guy back.
"Let grandma see if it's heavy." Mrs. Ji hugged Jing Yun on her lap first, "Yes, it's heavy."
Jing Yun jumped down happily, and Mrs. Ji went to hug Wangshu again, but she couldn't hold her as before, "Wangshu is not heavy!"
Wang Shu: "..."
Mrs. Ji stroked their pigtails and asked, "Where are your parents?"
"Grandmother." Qiao Wei smiled and entered the yard with Ji Mingxiu. The two spent most of their time in the cabin, not exposed to the sun, and they were still white and clean.
Qiao Wei was wearing a slim-fitting tunic skirt. The upper body was white, and the bottom of the skirt was also white but covered with a layer of ice-blue dragon silk. The texture of the dragon silk was excellent, as light as clouds and as clear as sea water. On the body, the whole person is a little more ethereal, and the clean temperament makes the souls of those who have seen it seem to have been washed.
Mrs. Ji showed a happy smile, and soon, Mrs. Ji looked at Ji Mingxiu who was beside Qiao Wei.
Ji Mingxiu was still dressed in white, with a jade-like temperament. Whenever he got close, the flowers in the yard seemed to be alive and fragrant.
Mrs. Ji laughed so hard that she couldn't see her eyes. After a while, she pretended to be angry and pulled her face down: "Now I know I'm back? I've been away for so long, I'm afraid I've forgotten my grandmother!"
Qiao Wei walked over with a smile, picked up Wang Shu's little bun, threw it into her father's arms, hugged Mrs. Ji's arm and said, "How can I forget you? We think about it day and night. Looking forward to you, looking forward to you, I can't sleep well, I can't sleep well!"
"Can't eat, can't sleep well?" Mrs. Ji glanced at the young couple, "Then why are my faces still round when I look at you two?"
Qiao Wei cleared her throat, there are too many good things in the sea, and all of them are small fishing experts, and they never stopped talking along the way, can they be round
Of course, Mrs. Ji was just talking about it. She really didn't mind that the two of them gained weight. She wished that the two of them, especially Qiao Wei, would gain more weight, so that she could give birth to some precious little great-grandchildren.
Rong's mother asked the maid to bring a chair, Ji Mingxiu hugged Wang Shu and sat down, Wang Shu went to grab the peanuts on the table to eat, but couldn't catch them for a long time, and flung himself in his father's arms for a while.
Everyone in the yard laughed.
Ji Mingxiu brought the plate over, but Wang Shu took two mouthfuls and didn't want to eat, so he took his brother to play in the yard.
Mrs. Ji still doesn't quite understand what's going on, why Qiao Wei, who went to the south of the Yangtze River, was with Ji Mingxiu, and why she picked up the two children halfway. It is true that she is going to the south of the Yangtze River, but on the way, she receives a letter from Feige from Ji Mingxiu, saying that she has found her mother and grandfather, so she changed her way to meet Ji Mingxiu: "...these things are written in a few words. If you can't explain clearly, I will come back and tell you in person, so don't be angry with us."
Why is Mrs. Ji so angry? I was so surprised that I couldn't speak, and after a long time, I finally found my voice: "Your mother is still alive? Then why didn't she come to you? Isn't your mother a... Gu's daughter? How could that be?" ran to sea?"
"It's a long story. My mother is not the daughter of Medicine Valley. She is the daughter of an island owner. That island has no relationship with the Central Plains. She slipped out by herself, but she doesn't have a registered permanent residence in the Central Plains. In order to get along with me smoothly When her father got married, she beat him to the King of Medicine..." from the Medicine Valley.
Qiao Wei touched her nose, "Convinced."
Mrs. Ji doesn't know much about Jiang Hu, she just thinks that Mrs. Qiao seems to be a bit bolder. Of course, although she doesn't agree with Mrs. Qiao's behavior, she may give birth to such an excellent daughter. Mrs. Qiao should also be a very good woman is.
Thinking of something, Mrs. Ji said again: "Since your mother is alive, why didn't you come to see you for so many years?"
Qiao Wei said lightly, "My mother is recovering from her injuries and cannot leave the island."
Mrs. Ji suddenly realized, she held Qiao Wei's hand and said, "I see, it's really hard for your family, look at how much you have suffered all these years... Is your mother okay now?"
Qiao Wei smiled and said, "It's okay! When she finishes her work, she will come back to Daliang to see us, and she will also visit you when the time comes."
"Okay, okay!" Mrs. Ji pulled Qiao Wei to talk for a while, and asked Qiao Wei how her grandfather was doing, but what relatives did she have? They were not satisfied with Mingxiu's son-in-law. Answer, Mrs. Ji is getting old, and she doesn't understand whether she is a hermit or not. She just heard that Qiao Wei has a grandfather and mother, and she is really happy for Qiao Wei. I also heard that they are all satisfied with meditation. If you can't get it, you can't extricate yourself from it.
Rong's mother took advantage of the heat and said: "Old lady, don't just talk too much, eat the bird's nest now?"
Qiao Wei asked, "Hasn't grandma eaten breakfast?"
Rong's mother said: "Isn't it? Ever since you guys left, the old lady didn't take her body seriously."
Mrs. Ji took a look at Rong's mother: "You will sue me!"
Mama Rong laughed.
Qiao Wei took the bird's nest from Rong's mother, and said to Mrs. Ji, "Eat it while it's hot. Take your time, and I'll take your time."
Mrs. Ji obediently ate the bird's nest.
During the time when the old man was eating bird's nest, Mother Rong and Mingxiu talked about some new things in the house. The third room came back to celebrate the New Year, but the first month left again; the fourth room's Ji Shuang gave birth to a big fat boy. It took more than ten years to look forward to such a man with handles, but I was very happy; the marriage of the two girls has been settled, Wan Yu is destined to be the eldest son of Li's family in Li Guogong's mansion, and Ruyue is set to be Taishi's mansion The three sons of the Pang family are all very good marriages.
Qiao Wei looked at Ji Mingxiu, who looked like water, and asked Rong's mother, "Why don't you see brother Liu and father?"
Mother Rong said: "Brother Liu was carried by Mother Sun to wander in the garden. The master is not in the mansion, he has gone to fief."
Qiao Wei was slightly taken aback: "What is father doing in the fief?"
Rong's mother sighed: "Something happened to the fief..."
Rong's mother was about to talk to Qiao Wei about the fiefdom, when Ji Shuang's voice came from the door, "Oh, my little nephew and daughter-in-law are back, right?"
Ji Shuang was just out of confinement, and her figure was slightly fatter, but she was dressed in jewels, her complexion was rosy, and her spirit was very refreshing.
Ji Mingxiu greeted: "Auntie."
Ji Shuang smiled brightly and walked over gracefully.
Qiao Wei got up and saluted: "Auntie."
It is said that people are in good spirits on happy occasions, and Ji Shuang suffered a big somersault in Qiao Wei's hands. She originally held a grudge in her heart, but now that she has given birth to a son, those unhappy things have long since been thrown away. He took Qiao Wei's hand affectionately, looked Qiao Wei up and down, and praised: "I haven't seen you for a few days, and you've become more and more fluent. I heard that you went to the south of the Yangtze River. Why did you come back with Mingxiu?"
This question really needs to be explained once you meet someone.
Mrs. Ji said: "I just came back and haven't caught my breath yet. I'll talk to you later!"
Ji Shuang hurriedly smiled and said: "Okay, okay, turn around and talk, go sit with me later, stop by to see your fourth brother, and then talk to me in detail."
Qiao Wei thought in her heart that she might change her mind about fifth brother soon, she smiled kindly and said, "Okay."
Several people were talking, and soon Mrs. Li and the two girls also came.
"Sister-in-law!" Ji Wanyu walked over with a smile. On her head was the emerald green hairpin that Qiao Wei had snatched from Zhen Shi. It was said that the eighteenth female college had changed, and it had only been three months. She looked like a big girl. , with a frown and a smile, that charming charm makes people unable to turn their eyes away.
Ruyue also stepped forward and bowed: "Sister-in-law."
Qiao Wei nodded with a smile, and the two walked up to Ji Mingxiu again, and saluted politely, "Brother."
"En." Ji Mingxiu responded lightly.
Qiao Wei called her second aunt.
Mrs. Li said with a smile: "I heard that you are back, and the two girls are not doing embroidery anymore, so they must come here to see you."
During this period of time, Ji Shuang was busy giving birth and confinement, and couldn't take care of herself, so Ji Wanyu simply moved to the East Mansion, where she ate, lived, and prepared to marry with Ji Ruyue.
Ji Wanyu took a look in the yard: "Sister-in-law, where is the little fat man?"
It was Wang Shu.
"How did you talk?" Ji Shuang glared at her daughter.
Ji Wanyu stuck out her tongue, it was a little fat man, white and soft, like a little fat hamster, and it felt great when pinched.
Qiao Wei smiled: "Wang Shu and Jing Yun went out to play."
Ji Wanyu glared: "Then my second sister and I went to find them!"
After finishing speaking, he dragged Ji Ruyue's feet and slipped away.
Mrs. Li was angry and funny, why did she have to visit their sister-in-law? It was obvious that he was suffocated in the house, and wanted to find an opportunity to come out and play wild.
The children were all gone, and Ji Shuang talked about the business: "You don't know yet, something happened to the fief. On the second day after you left, someone came to the fief. It would be nice if you left a day later."
Qiao Wei looked at Rong's mother: "Is that what Rong's mother wanted to say?"
Mama Rong nodded.
Ji Wan sighed, "The Ji family's mausoleum was stolen, and the child's body is gone."
child? Qiao Wei looked at Ji Shuang: "Auntie is talking about Mingxiu's brother?"
Ji Shuang was taken aback: "Did you know that Mingxiu has a younger brother?"
Not only did he know, but he also had many fights with him.
Qiao Wei tugged on Laj Meditation's sleeve: "You tell me."
Everyone looked at Ji Mingxiu without knowing why. Ji Mingxiu looked calm, but the light in his eyes was rarely seen by everyone. He said, "My brother is not dead."
Mrs. Ji was stunned.
Ji Shuang asked in surprise, "What did you say? Your brother is not dead?"
Ji Mingxiu said, "Yes."
Ji Shuang frowned strangely: "How could this be? He was obviously dead, and we watched him be buried with our own eyes! His coffin was built by your aunt and father! We all went, didn't we? Second sister-in-law, you too Are you there?"
Li recalled: "I was there, and I also saw the child's burial with my own eyes. This time I heard that the coffin was stolen and the body was stolen. I was worried that it might be haunted."
Ji Mingxiu pondered for a moment, and said, "I don't know exactly what happened, but he is indeed still alive. I ran into him this time when I went out to sea."
"Who did you meet?"
Ji Shangqing's voice suddenly sounded outside the courtyard.
Everyone followed the sound and saw Ji Shangqing coming in a hurry. He hadn't seen him for a few months. He had a few white hairs on his temples, a beard growing out, his eyes were bloodshot, his lips were chapped, and he looked very embarrassed.
Ji Shuang hurried over and took Ji Shangqing's arm: "Brother, you came back just in time, Mingxiu said his brother is still alive!"
Ji Shangqing brushed away his younger sister's hand, walked up the steps, and looked at Ji Mingxiu fixedly: "Is your brother still alive? Where is he?"
Ji Mingxiu glanced at him and said, "I'm on the carriage, and I won't get off."
Ji Shangqing left Luomeiyuan without saying a word.
Mrs. Ji pressed her beating heart: "Is your brother really alive? Really alive..."
Seeing that she was not in the right condition, Qiao Wei hurriedly supported her arm, and advised: "Grandmother, don't be excited, you have suffered a stroke, and if you are excited again, you will have a stroke again. After a stroke, you will not be able to see your little grandson. You take a few deep breaths first."
Mrs. Ji took a few deep breaths. This news was too great. It was even more shocking than knowing that Mingxiu had given him two little great-grandchildren. When she kept the older one and abandoned the younger one, her heart ached to death. Seeing such a small child being put into a coffin, she wished that it was herself who died, and now that she knew that he was still alive, she was... so excited that she didn't know what to do.
"Xiaowei, hurry up, get someone to prepare the sedan chair..."
Qiao Wei said: "Okay, okay, I'll let someone prepare the sedan chair, but let's talk about it first, you must not be so excited when you see that kid."
Old Mrs. Ji's tears almost fell down: "I listen to you, I listen to you! You take me to see him!"
…
In the outer house of Ji's house, a few servants brought Qiao Wei and Ji Mingxiu's luggage in. As soon as they walked through the second entrance, they saw a figure rushing out from inside.
The box fell to the ground, and Ji Shangqing tripped over the box and fell down, causing his nose to bleed.
The two young servants saw who was coming, and quickly knelt on the ground. One of them begged for mercy: "The little one deserves death! The little one knows his mistake! Please punish me!"
Ji Shangqing didn't even lift her eyelids, she got up and continued walking forward.
"Master!" The boy who begged for mercy just now spoke again.
Ji Shangqing ignored him.
"Master! Master!" The servant looked at the cart that was taller than a person on the side road, and reminded him kindly.
Ji Shangqing didn't care, but was hit by the cart with a bang and flew away.
The cart was full of things that Ji Mingxiu and Qiao Wei had brought back from the Tana tribe, and it fell down with a crash, causing Ji Shangqing's nose to be bruised and face swollen.
"Old... old old old..." The boy pushing the cart was frightened.
Ji Shangqing got up, and walked tremblingly towards the door, but within two steps, her foot was in the air, she screamed, and rolled down the steps.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom...
When Ji Shangqing finally rolled to the door, his handsome face was beyond description.
But he stood up very firmly. He saw the carriage outside the door. In fact, he had already seen it when he just returned home, but he didn't know that his long-lost son was sitting in it. He walked over excitedly , excitedly opened the curtain.
