...
Mr. Shen not only sent Chen Yao, but also sent Chen Yao's eldest brother Chen Qi. ∮, Chen Qi is eight years old this year and has been enlightened with Mr. Shen.
"...I have already been able to recite the "Three Character Classic" and "Hundred Family Names" and start to learn the "Thousand Character Classic". " Mr. Shen told Master Ji Er and Ji Xiaotang.
It turned out that the children of the Shen family were early in their careers, and even when they were on the way to escape, Mr. Shen did not relax his grandson's studies. Ji Xiaotang was interesting and immediately asked Chen Qi to recite a passage of "Three Character Classic", which Chen Qi was indeed memorized.
"Although Yao'er is a girl, she has been enlightened for a long time and has learned more "Thousand Characters" than her younger brother," said Mr. Shen again.
When Ji Xiaotang left the shanty town of the victims, he once said that Chen Yao would take his younger brothers to Ji's house to find her. Her meaning was to let the siblings come to play at her home. Although the Shen family siblings were humble, they all looked clean and likable, and they were very tutored. Ji Xiaotang believed that both Mrs. Ji and Mrs. Ji would like these children.
However, the veteran Shen generals Chen Yao and Shen Qi were sent here, but they were not for fun. Mr. Shen wanted to give Chen Yao and Shen Qi to the Ji family.
"Yaoer will be a little girl to serve Miss Ji. As for Qi'er, let the second master arrange him." Mr. Shen said to Mr. Ji and Ji Xiaotang.
"This is impossible." Master Ji Er shook his head quickly.
Ji Xiaotang also thinks this is not good.
"I am not selling my children, but I am grateful and admiring, and I am willing to send my two grandchildren. These two children are also willing." Mr. Shen said hurriedly.
After Ji Xiaotang left yesterday, Chen Yao was still looking outside the shanty town for a long time until the Ji family's carriage disappeared. Chen Yao was still standing there and refused to go back. Although she went back later, she kept talking about Ji Xiaotang.
Although Chen Qi was younger, his family's experience of escaping and what he saw and heard in Qingyuan made him treat the Ji family as his benefactor and almost worshipped as a god.
It was Mr. Shen's idea to send his two grandchildren to the Ji family. His sons and daughters-in-law nodded, and Chen Yao and Shen Qi themselves were willing.⊥,
Mr. Ji Er refused for a long time, and Mr. Shen insisted on leaving the two children. Mr. Ji Er thought about it, nodded and agreed to leave the two children, meaning that he wanted to raise the two children of the Shen family as relatives at home.
When Mr. Shen heard this, he was not only not happy at all, but was anxious.
"This is absolutely not allowed." Mr. Shen hurriedly said, "Who has I become like this? I am so opportunistic and let the second master raise my two grandchildren for free! Although I am in trouble, my family lives and die together. I am really grateful to the kindness of Mr. Ji and Miss Ji, so I sent them to serve."
After a long dispute over this, both sides refused to give in. Ji Xiaotang watched this as it was not a solution, so she had to come forward and talk.
"Dad, otherwise I'll just listen to Mr. Shen." Ji Xiaotang said, and secretly told Master Ji Er to accept the Shen brothers and sisters according to Mr. Shen's wishes first, and when the two children grow up, the age will be better, and then release them will be the same.
When Master Ji Er heard Ji Xiaotang say this, he immediately became happy.
"I was anxious for a moment and didn't turn this corner. Thanks to you reminded me." Master Ji Er whispered to Ji Xiaotang, then turned around and nodded to Mr. Shen.
Mr. Shen was very happy, so he asked Chen Yao and Shen Qi to come forward and kowtow.
"Dad and I don't understand these things." Ji Xiaotang said with a smile, and asked someone to find Aunt Cheng and simply told Aunt Cheng about the matter.
"Madam, let's do it for me." Ji Xiaotang said to Madam Cheng.
Madam Cheng is now helping butler Ji Xiaotang keep his word in the Ji family and has a very tacit understanding with Ji Xiaotang. After hearing what Ji Xiaotang said, she looked at the old and young Shen family, and nodded.
"Since that's the case, there is no rule, no square or round." Madam Cheng asked the servant to find a book in the account room to write about the body contract between Chen Yao and Shen Qi.
When he heard that he wanted to write a body contract, Master Ji Er wanted to speak. But before he spoke, he looked at Ji Xiaotang first, and Ji Xiaotang smiled slightly.∮, Master Ji Er did not speak in the end. If Mr. Shen took a casual look in the direction of Ji Xiaotang, the expression on his face had not changed.
Soon, Chen Yao and Shen Qi's body deeds were written, and they took them over and painted them for Mr. Shen. After Madam Cheng saw them, she handed them over to Ji Xiaotang. Ji Xiaotang glanced at the body deeds and saw that the deeds were written, he nodded secretly.
When the Ji family buys people to serve, they always have a dead contract.
After Ji Xiaotang saw the body contract, he asked someone to hand it back to Mr. Shen. The body contract should have been collected by the buyer, but Mr. Shen took it himself, which shows the attitude of the Ji family. The body contract is just a form.
Old Shen's hands were a little shaking, but he refused to accept the contract.
"... Great kindness and virtue, this kind of gift is the same with Miss Ji."
In the end, it was Madam Cheng who took over the body contract on behalf of Ji Xiaotang.
"Yao'er will follow me from now on and serve in my room. Qi'er will follow my father first, and don't miss the lessons you should learn. If you don't know anything, you can come and ask me, or ask my father. When Changsheng is older, let Qi'er be a book boy with Changsheng." Ji Xiaotang discussed with Master Ji Er and said with a smile.
Although he was a girl in Ji Xiaotang's house, his food, clothing, and expenses were not as good as the daughters of ordinary wealthy families outside. As for following Mr. Ji Er, he would not be able to be a student for Changsheng in the future, not only would he not lose his studies, but he would also ask Master Ji Er for teaching. This is a good thing that many people can't even ask for.
Mr. Shen was so grateful that he was about to speak, but Master Ji Er smiled and raised his hand to stop him.
"Now it's just a temporary measure. When these two children grow up, they will naturally be released. When the girls get married, Xiaotang will add makeup to her. The boys will also be fine for the imperial examination."
Such an arrangement is actually to raise two children for the Shen family, and the meaning of Mr. Ji Er's words clearly requires teaching Chen Qi to become a talent.
Mr. Shen's eyes became wet. Without saying a word, he knelt on the ground with a thump and kowtowed to Mr. Ji and Ji Xiaotang. Chen Yao and Shen Qi sold their own money. Mr. Shen said he would not accept anything.
Ji Xiaotang didn't force himself, just said that he would save the money first, and then when Chen Yao and Shen Qi were allowed to go out, he would give them private money. Master Ji Er asked someone to take some extra rice, flour and ruler to celebrate the New Year for Mr. Shen. Mr. Shen refused these things and had to collect them.
Before leaving, Mr. Shen called Chen Yao and Shen Qi to the front and told his two children to be obedient, diligent and obedient in the Ji family.
When Master Ji Er beat Mr. Shen away, Ji Xiaotang took Chen Yao and Shen Qi to the backyard to meet Mrs. Ji and Mrs. Ji Er.
Old Mrs. Ji and second Mrs. Ji had heard Ji Xiaotang talk about the Shen family, and they saw that Chen Yao and Shen Qi were good-looking and gentle, so they liked each other very much, and even gave people a gift to the two children.
Afterwards, Ji Xiaotang called a servant next to Master Ji Er to take Chen Qi away and settle down, and then took Chen Yao back to his house.
Chen Yao is likable and sweet-mouthed. Yesterday, when she was in the shantytown, she followed Xiu'er. Jin'er and Xiu'er called her sister. Now when she saw her coming, Jin'er and Xiu'er were also very happy.
Xiu'er took Chen Yao down to wash, then changed into a half-new little girl's dress, and brought it back to see Ji Xiaotang.
Chen Yao was so delicate and cute.
"This dress is..."
"Report to the girl, this is what the maid has worn before. She has only worn it a few times. After a while, she found it and it happened to be worn by her sister Chen Yao." Xiu'er replied with a hurried smile.
"My maid also has the clothes she used to wear, so sister Chen Yao should be able to wear them too." Jin'er said with a smile when she saw her.
Ji Xiaotang nodded. Chen Yao was in her room and could not wear the clothes she used to do. However, it was too late to make clothes. She wore Jin'er first, and Xiu'er's few more were suitable.
"After a while, I asked the person on the needle and thread to measure your size so that I could add new clothes to you." Ji Xiaotang looked at Chen Yao and said.
"Girl, no, maids don't want new clothes. The clothes of sisters are enough for maids to wear." Chen Yao said hurriedly, "The clothes of sisters are better than those ladies and grandmas I have seen."
The girls in the room were amused by her.
Ji Xiaotang also smiled.
"If you are with me, just follow your sister Jin'er and Sister Xiu'er. Let's call you Yao'er from now on. Let you be a third-class girl and learn the rules. Yueyin and Four Seasons Clothes follow the rules. If you don't understand, please ask your sisters."
Yao'er was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed and thanked her, but she held up the things she rewarded by Mrs. Ji and Mrs. Ji Er.
"This is what the old lady and the wife give you, just keep it yourself." Ji Xiaotang said.
"Oh." Yao'er was still hesitating.
"If you are afraid that you can't keep it, leave it to your sister Xiu'er to keep it for you." Ji Xiaotang said. Many of the little girls who followed Ji Xiaotang's service kept their valuable things for Xiu'er, which was very safe.
"Yeah." Yao'er looked at Xiu'er and agreed happily.
The Ji family had a third-class girl and a book boy, which was just a very common thing in the Ji family's daily housework. At least, it was like this at that time.
Ji Xiaotang asked Yao'er to serve in the room, and told the girl to take care of her, so she put it aside. She had many more important things to do.
"Dad, the grain transport team should have left Ren'an Mansion now, right?" That day, Ji Xiaotang and Master Ji Er talked in the library.
Master Ji Er calculated in his mind and nodded.
"It should be these two days."
In the past few days before New Year's Eve, it was the time when everyone was most relaxed in their defenses. Ji Xiaotang's heart was raised, and that matter would be decided in the next two days.
That incident not only concerns the safety of the people in one area, but also the life and death of the Ji family.
In the early morning of the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, many people in Qingyuan County were awakened by the sound of horse hooves, and then they heard the bad news.
The vehicle carrying the food and grass was robbed!
