Chapter 21 Bamboo Horse Bamboo Horse
The next day, before Ji Xiaotang could tell Master Ji Er that he would ask the county magistrate Xie to speak to the government, Xie Ziqian came to visit him. ()
Following Xie Ziqian, Mrs. Xie Wang and her son Xie Huaijin were also here.
The Xie and Ji families were a good match. Mrs. Xie's carriage entered the corner gate and stopped directly in front of the second gate. Ji Xiaotang followed Mrs. Ji Er out and welcomed Mrs. Xie in person.
Mrs. Ji Er and Mrs. Xie have not seen each other for some days, and they are very intimate when they meet.
Mrs. Xie is just in her early thirties this year, with yellow and white face, melon-shaped face, long and slim figure, and her words are crisp and neat.
Walking all the way to the yard, Mrs. Xie pulled Ji Xiaotang to look and ask again.
It turned out that when spring first came, Mrs. Xie also fell ill, so Ji Xiaotang and Master Ji San were injured one after another. She could not come in person, and only beat people and sent many things.
"...I want to struggle to come and have a look, but I'm afraid that I'll get sick. Just now, the doctor said I'm not in the way, so I came immediately... God bless you, Xiaotang is fine, and I can let go of my heart."
Mrs. Ji Er first led Mrs. Xie to meet Mrs. Ji, and then came to her room.
Ji Xiaotang personally brought tea for Mrs. Xie.
"I worry about my uncle, I should go see my uncle." Ji Xiaotang did not call Mrs. Xie as her aunt, but called her uncle, which means closer.
This title was insisted on by Mrs. Xie.
Mrs. Xie has been married for many years and has only given birth to one son. When Mr. Ji Er was in Qingzhou, the two families were already in the same family. Mrs. Xie liked Ji Xiaotang very much.
"Good boy, come here and let me take a closer look... It seems to be a little thinner, but it is even more beautiful." Mrs. Xie took the tea, then grabbed Ji Xiaotang and looked at it, and then let Ji Xiaotang sit next to her.
Mrs. Ji Er and Mrs. Xie talked about family matters.
The Ji family hid some things from others, but they did not hide them from Mrs. Xie. Therefore, Mrs. Xie also knew about Ji Xiaoyun.
"I don't think that Xiaoyun's child is bad, but she has no guidance in front of the old lady, making her act a little willful. ()" said Mrs. Xie.
"So I banned her and wanted to be like her." Mrs. Ji Er nodded.
"It's a pity that my mother is not cruel to her sister." Ji Xiaotang smiled and said to Mrs. Xie, "Oh my mother, do you know where the nanny who teaches the rules? My mother said she wanted to invite someone to her house, but she didn't have any good luck for the time being."
"Yingniang, please help me find out if you have any good ones. Please find me for me." Mrs. Ji Er also said.
"Ouch." Mrs. Xie's eyes lit up when she heard this, "This is just right."
"Who did my aunt think of?" Ji Xiaotang said immediately.
Mrs. Xie reached out and gently pinched Ji Xiaotang's face.
"Why didn't I remember it? If you mentioned this in two days, I'm afraid you'd missed it." Mrs. Xie smiled.
"Tell me quickly, what's going on." Mrs. Ji Er laughed, "You are so neat, why are you talking so stupid today?"
"Don't worry, listen to me slowly." Mrs. Xie said, "...This Madam Cheng passed by our Qingyuan, and will stay there for two days."
"It's not an ordinary nanny, this one is from the palace!"
As soon as he heard that it was someone from the palace, Mrs. Ji Er immediately took it seriously and hurriedly asked Mrs. Xie about her details.
Ji Xiaotang's eyes also contained expectations.
She remembered Madam Cheng. Madam Cheng came out of the palace and returned to her hometown to retire and passed by Qingyuan County, and lived in the county government. At that time, Ji Xiaotang heard Mrs. Xie say that. However, no one in the Ji family thought of asking for a special nanny, so she missed Madam Cheng.
I saw Madam Cheng again, on the way to escape.
The Ji family headed south and arrived in Huizhou. Thanks to the intake of Madam Cheng, she spent a very short but rare and stable time.
Madam Cheng returned to her hometown, but because her close relatives were no longer there, she finally fell into the temple. She spent some of her savings around her to provide relief to the victims who passed by during the turmoil.
Among them, Ji Xiaotang's family is.¢£,
People's lives are like grass in troubled times, but people like Madam Cheng died at the hands of a mob who robbed food.
Madam Cheng's character and behavior, as well as her calm expression even when she was dying, left a deep impression on Ji Xiaotang.
Ji Xiaotang wants to repay this kindness, and she also admires Madam Cheng very much.
Mrs. Xie has finished the section on how Madam Cheng left the palace to take care of her, and is talking about the relationship between Madam Cheng and her.
It turns out that Mrs. Xie is also from Huizhou, and she is a cousin from the fifth ward.
When Madam Cheng was in the palace, she was a nanny who taught the new palace maids, and later served the concubine. Now that the concubine has passed away, the palace has released her grace.
"Many families in the capital want to ask her to be an offering to help teach the girls in the family. She refused and insisted on returning to her hometown, saying that she was falling leaves returning to her roots."
After hearing what Mrs. Xie said, Mrs. Ji Er was very willing to ask Mrs. Cheng to come to the mansion to teach her two daughters. However, it seemed that it was not easy to ask Mrs. Xie to say what she said later.
"How is this good?" Mrs. Ji Er was worried.
"Mom, of course I have to ask my aunt to help us." Ji Xiaotang said immediately.
She didn't give up on Madam Cheng so easily.
"Madam Cheng refused to stay in the capital, but she might not be unwilling to stay in our Qingyuan." Ji Xiaotang said. "If Madam Cheng is willing, she will be able to support her in our family, and it will be the same."
Mrs. Ji Er nodded and agreed with Ji Xiaotang's statement.
"What this means is that if I can live a life of such a place, it would be the best in my opinion." Mrs. Xie glanced at Ji Xiaotang, hesitated for a moment, and nodded. "It's all for me, and it must have been said to be this."
"Thank you, uncle." Ji Xiaotang said immediately.
"You, this little mouth is sweet, as if it was smeared with honey." Mrs. Xie narrowed her eyes with a smile. Mrs. Ji Er and Ji Xiaotang didn't see Madam Cheng, she had seen it. This matter was not so easy to say. The reason why she agreed was that she had her own plans.
"The nanny with a strong appearance in the palace cannot be treated normally. Yingniang, look at me, just write a post and see me in person." Mrs. Ji Er discussed with Mrs. Xie.
"Don't worry, I'll tell her when I go back and tell her, and I'll give you news." Mrs. Xie said.
"Okay, I'll ask you for everything." Mrs. Ji Er entrusted the matter to Mrs. Xie with confidence.
At this time, a little girl came in outside to report that the Xie family had come to pay tribute to Mrs. Ji Er.
"Come in quickly." Mrs. Ji Er said with a hurry.
As soon as he finished speaking, a little girl raised the curtain and led an eleven-two-year-old boy wearing a royal blue ball of flower brocade robe in.
Xie Huaijin entered the door and hurriedly came forward to greet Mrs. Ji Er.
"Please to my aunt."
Mrs. Ji Er had already smiled all over her face, so she asked Xie Huaijin to get up. While letting Xie Huaijin and Ji Xiaotang meet each other.
Ji Xiaotang stood up when Xie Huaijin entered the door, and squatted down and blessed Xie Huaijin.
"Brother Huaijin has always been good."
"Okay, okay." Xie Huaijin blushed and hurriedly returned the salute, "Sister Xiaotang."
"Your father called you? Have you seen the old lady?" Mrs. Xie asked her son with a smile.
"It was my father who called me. I haven't gone to the old lady yet." Xie Huaijin replied.
"Then let your sister Xiaotang accompany you back." Mrs. Xie said, without asking Mrs. Ji Er's opinion.
Xie Huaijin looked at Ji Xiaotang with a smile.
Ji Xiaotang looked at Mrs. Ji Er, and when she saw Mrs. Ji Er nodding, she agreed happily.
Mrs. Xie waved her hand to the two of them and asked them to leave quickly. Looking at her expression, she wanted to say something to Mrs. Ji Er, and just hoped that the two children would play by themselves and not disturb them.
Ji Xiaotang led Xie Huaijin out of Mrs. Ji'er's house.
Ji Xiaotang was born in Qingzhou by Master Ji Er and Mrs. Ji Er. She almost met Xie Huaijin when she was born. At that time, Master Ji Er and Xie Ziqian were in the same yamen. Mrs. Ji Er and Mrs. Xie were very angry and often gathered together.
The two children were also watched by the girls and wives playing together.
Later, Master Ji Er and Xie Ziqian were transferred to the office, but they kept sending letters. Ji Xiaotang and Xie Huaijin separated for several years, and thought it would be difficult to meet again in the future.
Mr. Ji Er returned home, and Xie Ziqian then went to Qingyuan to take office.
When we met again, the fat little boy who was so red that he had grown into a white young man.
After several years of separation, the two children did not alienate them.
After leaving Mrs. Ji Er's yard, Xie Huaijin's pace slowed down.
"Xiaotang, is your head well?" Xie Huaijin looked at Ji Xiaotang with big eyes a few times and asked with concern, "My mother hid it from me at first, not letting me know, saying she was afraid that I would be anxious... I heard that you had a headache, and my head hurts too."
Ji Xiaotang turned her face. Xie Huaijin's big eyes were clearly black and white, and her reflections were all inside.
"What stupid things are you saying?" Ji Xiaotang said softly.
"It's not a fool, it's the truth." Xie Huaijin said.
"My head doesn't hurt anymore." Ji Xiaotang told Xie Huaijin.
"Then I'll be relieved." Xie Huaijin looked relieved.
Xie Huaijin is slightly taller than Ji Xiaotang and has a slightly fat figure. I don’t know if it’s a hurry or something, but there is a layer of sweat on his forehead.
Ji Xiaotang subconsciously pulled out the veil from his sleeve and raised his hand...
If there were no natural disasters back then, the boy in front of her would be the one she would have to work with for the rest of her life.
Xie Huaijin died for her.
