At Ji Shuang's insistence, Qin Jiao moved into Ji's house.
The Ji family treated Aunt Qin very well, and never looked at this married son-in-law with colored eyes. Now that his own sister has come to the house, the Ji family will treat him well, but it just so happens that Qin Jiao's son, Brother Tong, gets it. For acne, it was inconvenient for Qin Jiao to go to greet the old lady and others, and it was also inconvenient for everyone to come, so she ordered someone to send the meeting gift to the fourth room.
Qiao Wei also prepared gifts, mainly silk and jewellery.
Bi'er muttered to herself while choosing jewelry: "Why do you give such a good thing? Didn't you say that she is just a concubine's younger sister? You don't move around a lot at ordinary times, so my uncle doesn't like to see her very much, does he?"
Qiao Wei peeled an orange, and said with a half-smile: "Uncle doesn't want to see her, so he won't keep her from aunt."
"Fourth madam, isn't she mad? You don't tell her when my uncle's younger sister is here." Bi'er has always had a hard time adapting to Ji Shuang's address. It stands to reason that a married daughter should call her aunt instead, but this The address was audible, and when Ji Wan returned home, the servants who were closer to her were still called the eldest lady. Ji Shuang had grown up a lot and could no longer call herself a lady, so she called madam in the order of four.
Qiao Wei didn't care about the name, but she did know that Ji Shuang was furious, but now she was coaxed again.
After Bi'er put on the jewelry, she turned her head and saw Qiao Wei smiling. The smile was a bit weird, and she couldn't help asking: "Ma'am, what are you laughing at?"
Qiao Wei ate a piece of orange, and said lightly: "I laugh that there are many domineering women in this world, and there are also many women with brains, but it seems that there are not many who are both domineering and brains. Let's count Sister Wan as one."
Bi'er was confused: "Ma'am, what are you talking about, why can't I understand?"
Qiao Wei smiled lightly and said, "You should also take care of yourself in the future. Don't look at Xiao Wei's honesty, just think that there is no bad water in his stomach."
"Why is Xiao Wei involved again?" Bi'er's mind is still bright, but this time she really doesn't understand what kind of riddle Qiao Wei is playing.
Qiao Wei looked at the hourglass on the wall, and said: "It's still early, I'll go to the fourth room and sit down, give me something."
Bier said, "I'll go."
Qiao Wei said: "You haven't had acne, it's better not to get close to you."
Bi'er looked at a table of silk and satin, and said, "Let me help you get to the door."
Qiao Wei smiled slightly: "Afraid I won't be able to carry it?"
Bi'er murmured, "It's no longer like being in the village now. My wife has done too many things, and it seems that I'm not doing my duty well enough."
"That's it." Qiao Wei nodded, "That's fine, take it!"
Bi'er grinned, and left Qinglianju holding the brocade and brocade box.
When the master and servant arrived at the fourth room, Qin Jiao had just moved into the tidy room. This room was not far from Ji Shuang's upper room. The utensils are also readily available, and the clothes and jewelry are all custom-made by Ji Shuang in the past but never bothered to wear them once, and they are brand new in the room.
Ji Shuang also told the servants not to neglect my uncle's younger sister, as they respected Wan Yu, so they had to respect Qin Jiao.
Thinking about the style of Xun Qingyao's family when they lived in Guixiangyuan, and looking at Qin Jiao's style, you can see how much Ji Shuang gave Guye Qin face.
"Wanyu works hard on this washbasin, replace it with a new one!" Ji Shuang stood on the porch, commanding the servants calmly.
"Auntie." Qiao Wei walked into the yard and greeted her with a smile.
Qiao Wei is now the fifth young master's attending doctor, Ji Shuang has no reason to be rude to her, walked down the steps with a smile, took her hand and said, "Why are you here?"
Qiao Wei smiled and said, "I'll see how the fifth brother is doing. I'll give Miss Qin something. I didn't know she was my uncle's younger sister. I'm so negligent. Please forgive me."
Qiao Wei was not negligent towards Qin Jiao. She snatched Qin Jiao's purse back, caught the thief who attacked Qin Jiao, and treated Qin Jiao's son. After all, Qin Jiao owed her A favor, the reason why he said that was just to give Qin Jiao and his uncle face. Ji Shuang felt at ease when his uncle had face.
Sure enough, after listening to Qiao Wei's words, Ji Shuang unconsciously smiled a little deeper, and said, "I haven't thanked you for Jiaojiao's matter."
Jiaojiao...
Qiao Wei's goosebumps fell all over the floor...
Ji Shuang took Qiao Wei's hand and entered the upper room, Bi'er put the things on the table and Qiao Wei sent her to Qinglianju to "see medicine".
Qiao Wei saw the Fifth Young Master. The course of the pox rash usually lasted for about two weeks.
"Is your fifth brother okay?" Ji Shuang asked worriedly.
Qiao Wei didn't hide it from her, and said truthfully: "The high fever in the first few days is a dangerous period. You must always pay attention to it. If you get very hot, remember to call me in time."
Ji Shuang frowned in distress, thinking of something, she called Tao Zhi in.
"Ma'am, did you call me?" Tao Zhi asked.
Ji Shuang said calmly: "You go and ask Miss Qin to bring Brother Tong, Xiao Wei is here, just for Brother Tong to see."
"Yes." Taozhi withdrew.
A servant girl served tea.
Qiao Wei just ate the oranges and the tea was too bitter, so she didn't move the cup much, glanced at Ji Shuang, smiled and said, "My aunt is so kind to Miss Qin."
Ji Shuang sighed faintly: "Oh, I think she is so pitiful. A woman with a child travels thousands of miles to the capital to find a husband, but in the end she finds nothing, and even makes the child sick."
Qiao Wei believed it herself.
Soon, Qin Jiao carried the child into the house, saluted awkwardly, and stood obediently where she was.
Ji Shuang pointed to the chair beside Qiao Wei and said, "Take this as your own home, don't feel uncomfortable, sit down quickly."
Qin Jiao sat down with the child in her arms.
Brother Tong is two years old this year. I don't know if it's because of illness. He doesn't talk much. He has been lazily lying in his mother's arms, his eyes rolling from time to time, as if he is very curious about the new environment.
Qiao Wei gave Tong Ge'er a pulse. Tong Ge'er had an onset earlier than the fifth young master, and had more rashes, but there was not much difference in other things. The two people are different in age, and the dosage and some medicinal materials will also be different. As for the specific The efficacy of the medicine depends on the physique of the two.
Qiao Wei withdrew her hand and said, "There is no major problem for now, just take the medicine on time."
Qin Jiao bowed and was about to leave with the child in her arms when Qiao Wei suddenly said, "Miss Qin, I haven't asked your husband's family name yet."
"My surname is Zhou." Qin Jiao whispered.
Qiao Wei smiled and said, "May I ask what Mr. Zhou is doing in the capital? Miss Qin, don't get me wrong. I have no intention of inquiring about Mr. Zhou's private affairs. It's just that Mrs. Qin has been in the capital for so long, and she hasn't heard anything about Mr. Zhou. , I also want to do my best to see if I can help a little."
Qin Jiao lowered her eyebrows and said nothing.
Ji Shuang said warmly: "Jiaojiao, don't be afraid, Xiaowei is one of her own."
Qin Jiao said: "I don't know what he came for, he didn't say anything when he left."
Qiao Wei said again: "Then what skills did he have when he was in your hometown? If you know what he might do, it will be much easier to find."
Qin Jiao was silent.
Ji Shuang said anxiously: "Just tell me, your elder brother has searched for you for so long and there is no news. Presumably he can't find it with his ability. Now you can only count on my nephew!"
Qin Jiao hugged the child tightly and said, "He can forge iron."
"Blacksmith?" Ji Shuang asked contemptuously.
Qin Jiao lowered her eyes: "I don't know."
Ji Shuang said bitterly, "You are my husband's sister, why did you marry a blacksmith? Won't your family find you a better marriage? You can't find it yourself. Come to the capital to find me." ! Can I treat you badly?!"
Qin Jiao quietly hugged the child in her arms.
Qiao Wei's eyes fell on Qin Jiao's face without blinking. Qin Jiao is not talkative, not chaotic and flattering, a little cold-tempered, and seems to be full of vigilance to everything around her, but she doesn't give people a kind of She has a unique temperament, like an orchid under the moonlit night, gentle, demure, and weak, but mixed with a rare stubbornness.
In terms of appearance, Ji Shuang dumped her by two blocks, but if Qiao Wei was a man, she thought, she would be more attracted to Qin Jiao.
With a woman like Qin Jiao, men can't help but protect her under their wings.
Probably because she felt uncomfortable being watched, Qin Jiao slightly turned her body.
Qiao Wei collected her thoughts, smiled slightly, and said, "How did you meet my uncle when you came to the capital this time?"
Qin Jiao said, "I met you on the street."
"Which street?" Qiao Wei asked.
Qin Jiao's eyes always fell on her oblique face: "Changliu Street."
Qiao Wei looked into her eyes: "Did uncle find you first?"
Qin Jiao nodded.
Qiao Wei saw that she was so questioned that she didn't want to stay any longer, so she withdrew her hands in a timely manner: "The child seems to be sleepy, you should take the child to take a nap first."
Qin Jiao bowed her body, hugged Tong Geer and left the house.
Ji Shuang said angrily, "Jiaojiao is timid, you just scared her."
Qiao Wei smiled and said, "I'm impatient, so I asked a few more questions, aunt, don't take it to heart."
Ji Shuang tugged at the handkerchief and said, "I'm fine, don't act like this in front of your uncle, after all, she's his younger sister, even though she's half-brother, but the elder brother is like a father, so you can't ignore her. "
I don't know if I said this to Qiao Wei or to myself.
Qiao Wei looked at the things on the table: "I was so focused on talking just now that I forgot to hand things over to Miss Qin, so Aunt Lao will hand them over to her for me."
Ji Shuang smiled and said, "You've got a heart, I thanked you for Jiaojiao."
Qiao Wei was shocked by this title: "My aunt is really kind to Miss Qin."
Ji Shuang smiled sweetly and said, "I like her quite a lot. The three brothers above me have no sisters and have always wanted a younger sister."
Qiao Wei smiled brightly, with the original expression on her face, looked at the hourglass on the wall, and said, "I'm going to pick up Jingyun and the others, and I'll see my aunt tomorrow."
Ji Shuang said, "I'll see you off."
Qiao Wei pressed her hand vainly: "No need, Auntie, please stay."
Ji Shuang smiled and said, "Go slowly."
Qiao Wei got up and went.
It wasn't until Qiao Wei's shadow disappeared that Ji Shuang rubbed her stiff face, called Tao Zhi, and said casually, "Has she rested?"
Taozhi replied: "Yes, ma'am, Miss Qin and Brother Tong slept together."
Ji Shuang snorted faintly: "I can sleep well, what a big heart! If my husband disappears, I will...forget it, you step back! Take good care of me, don't let my uncle look at you and neglect you .”
"Yes." Tao Zhi replied.
…
Half an hour later, Aunt Qin returned home with Qin Jiao's luggage.
Ji Shuang greeted him with a smile, took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "It's packed so soon?"
Aunt Qin said: "She doesn't have many things."
Ji Shuang glanced at the box on the ground, and thought to herself that you didn't clean up my old lady's things before, but you did it for a younger sister!
"What's the matter with you?" Seeing that Ji Shuang's expression was not looking good, Aunt Qin asked aloud.
Ji Shuang smiled slightly: "It's nothing, I'm thinking that my sister seems to have too few things, I have to buy more for her."
Aunt Qin said softly: "No need, she won't live for long, and she won't be able to take it away if she buys too much, it's all wasted."
Ji Shuang said angrily, "I'll just find someone to take her home? It's just a matter of a few carriages, our family still lacks these things?"
Aunt Qin stared at her deeply and said, "This will trouble you too much."
Ji Shuang blushed and felt her heart beat under his affectionate gaze. She lowered her eyes and said softly, "Don't talk about this between us. Your sister is my sister. I will treat her as my own."
Aunt Qin took her into his arms and looked into the distance: "Shuang'er, you are so kind."
Thinking of something, Ji Shuang said, "By the way, Mr. Xiaowei came here just now, gave Jiaojiao something, and promised to help Jiaojiao find her husband."
Aunt Qin said with deep eyes, "Why bother her so much?"
Ji Shuang didn't take it seriously and said, "They're all from my own family, what's the trouble?"
Aunt Qin held Ji Shuang's arm tightly: "I just don't want to rely on the Ji family for everything, so I want to find it myself. I don't want to leave the Ji family as if nothing has been achieved."
Ji Shuang raised her eyes to look at him: "Are you angry?"
Aunt Qin said: "No, I know you are doing it for my own good."
Ji Shuang stroked his chest and said helplessly: "I love your sister too much. You said it was not easy for her to raise a child by herself. Her husband has been away for two or three years without hearing from her. Who knows if something happened or not?" She's gone, don't I want to figure things out quickly so that your sister can fulfill this wish?"
Aunt Qin nodded: "I understand, thank you, Shuang'er."
Ji Shuang stretched out her arms, wrapped her arms around her husband's strong waist, closed her eyes, and wanted to enjoy the quiet moment in front of her, but suddenly, Brother Tong's cry came from the room.
Aunt Qin helped her up and said, "Brother Tong is crying, I'll go and have a look."
Ji Shuang opened her mouth: "Hey..."
Aunt Qin turned around and left.
Watching her husband leave, Ji Shuang tightened her handkerchief. The little nephew was sick, so he should visit him as an uncle, but why was she so uncomfortable
…
Qiao Wei got into the carriage and went to the academy. When she arrived at the door, Ji Mingxiu had already arrived. Qiao Wei jumped off the carriage and walked over, smiling slightly: "Master Prime Minister is not only late, but also leaves early. gone."
Ji Mingxiu took her hand, and said rascally, "You have a lot of debts. Anyway, you have been angry many times, maybe once or twice."
Qiao Wei laughed, and said again: "Aren't you afraid that the emperor will dismiss your post in a fit of anger?"
Ji Mingxiu played with her fingertips and said casually, "Have you ever been afraid of the truth?"
Qiao Wei glanced at him: "The emperor is your cousin, so he naturally turned to you, but I heard that those censors would like to take your skin off, if they adulterated with you..."
Ji Mingxiu said, "You don't do it in front of me."
Qiao Wei suddenly felt pain for the emperor, and she was drunk with such a cousin.
The two waited for a while, and the three little guys came out hand in hand. Everyone's cheeks were flushed, they were full of energy, and they were in high spirits. It can be seen that the day was going well. Jing Yun was the first to find his parents and let go of his hands. She ran towards Qiao Wei, and soon Wang Shu also found out, and ran towards Qiao Wei, but she forgot to let go of Brother Liu's hand, and grabbed Brother Liu and ran wildly, Brother Liu flew away Get up, ahh, screaming wildly!
Wang Shu threw himself into his mother's arms.
Brother Liu slammed into Ji Mingxiu's body with a thud, and then fell down with a thud, which can be said to be extremely miserable.
Ji Mingxiu picked up Brother Liu, held him with his arm, and led his son into the carriage with the other hand.
Qiao Wei also sat up holding Wang Shu.
"Are you happy at school?" Qiao Wei asked.
Wang Shu smiled and said: "Happy!"
Qiao Wei wiped the sweat from her forehead: "Really? What classes did you take?"
Wang Shu said: "I have attended... that is, I have attended class!"
"Brother Liu, what class did you have today?"
Brother Liu said ignorantly: "Master's class..."
Qiao Wei supported her forehead, this is also unreliable, so I can only ask Jing Yun.
From Jing Yun's mouth, Qiao Wei got a general understanding of the courses of Nanshan Academy. Nanshan Academy has no basic education. From the minimum age of ten, all children have a certain foundation. There is no such thing as a first or second grade in the academy. Read on year after year, and after five years, those with excellent grades can pass the assessment and graduate.
The courses of the academy are mainly divided into six categories: rites, music, archery, imperialism, calligraphy, and mathematics. These six categories are collectively referred to as the six arts of a gentleman, and they are compulsory courses for every student in Daliang. Among them, calligraphy and mathematics are minor arts, which are elementary courses. The remaining four items are Artifacts, which are advanced courses.
Liushu and Nine Numbers are Jing Yun's main courses, accounting for half of the course load. Apart from Liushu and Nine Numbers, there are also talent courses, such as rhythm, painting, and martial arts.
Every class has its own long-wife, in modern times, it is roughly a class teacher.
Jing Yun and Wang Shu's eldest husband's son is surnamed Sun.
Mrs. Sun is a figure in the ashes of the academy. It is rumored that he did not substitute for the class as early as 800 years ago, but only used a false name to retire in the academy.
