Mrs. Ji was in Xuanhuatang. When Ji Xiaotang came back, she was talking with Mrs. Ji.∮. Every time Ji Xiaotang went out, Mrs. Ji would always estimate the time she came back to Xuanhuatang and wait for Ji Xiaotang with Mrs. Ji.

Since we arrived in the city and moved into Xinhua Hall, the relationship between Mrs. Ji Er and Mrs. Ji has become very harmonious.

At the same time, Ji Xiaoyun and Gu Xueer were around Old Lady Ji.

Ji Xiaotang roughly explained the experience of the tea party. Only then did Mrs. Ji and Mrs. Ji Er feel relieved, and at the same time, they were inevitably a little happy.

Ji Xiaoyun looked at Ji Xiaotang with eyes: "Xiaotang, you..."

Ji Xiaotang knew what she was asking, so she smiled and replied, "I have already told the princess, and the princess has agreed. There should be news soon."

"That's great." Ji Xiaoyun was happy.

Old Mrs. Ji and Mrs. Ji Er both went to see Ji Xiaoyun in a blink of an eye, and then exchanged a glance, but didn't say anything.

Xinhuatang has been in a row of happy events, and Mrs. Ji and Mrs. Ji Er are in a good mood recently.

"I didn't like to go out and walk around at first, and now I'm still old." Old Mrs. Ji said to Mrs. Ji, "The second master has an official position and you have an imperial decree. In the future, I will take Xiaoyun and Xiaotang out for a walk."

Ji Xiaotang is the county lord, so there is no need for Mrs. Ji to take her out for a walk. Old Mrs. Ji's words are mainly for Ji Xiaoyun.

Mrs. Ji Er nodded immediately and agreed. She understood what Mrs. Ji meant, and she had the same plan.

Ji Xiaoyun was still happy to see Xie Huaijin soon, and did not pay attention to what Old Mrs. Ji and Mrs. Ji Er said, but Gu Xueer couldn't sit still on the chair.

Gu Xueer moved uncomfortably on the chair and coughed softly.

Old Mrs. Ji's eyes immediately turned to Gu Xueer.

"What's wrong with Xue'er?" asked Old Mrs. Ji, "Is it a cold?"

"Auntie, I'm fine." Gu Xueer moved on the chair again, her eyes flashing. "Auntie, it's been a while since we came to the capital. I think if it's not too troublesome, is there any temple nearby..."

"What do you ask the temple do?" Old Mrs. Ji was puzzled.

"...Put incense sticks to your parents, brothers, and sisters..." Gu Xueer said so, then lowered her head.

"Oh..." Old Mrs. Ji suddenly realized, "We just came and there were so many things, so I didn't expect this. You are a filial child."

Old Mrs. Ji agreed and would make arrangements for Gu Xueer as soon as possible.

Gu Xueer thanked Old Mrs. Ji, but there was no look of joy on her face.

Seeing Gu Xueer acting several times, Ji Xiaotang couldn't help but look at Gu Xueer a few more times.∮, since he returned to the Ji family and came to the capital with the Ji family, Gu Xueer had been kept by Old Mrs. Ji. The food and clothing cost were comparable to Ji Xiaoyun.

After these days of luxury, Gu Xueer is no longer the dilapidated appearance she used to be, and is even much more sensible than when she was in Yanda Hutong.

Gu Xueer is good at dressing up and loves to dress up. She can only buy a small box of high-quality Hangzhou powder for a liang of silver, which makes her face look delicate and white, and her three-point appearance shows five points.

Her changes can be said to be very obvious, and everyone around her can see them.

"Oh..." Old Mrs. Ji sighed and asked Gu Xueer to go down and rest for the time being.

Gu Xueer seemed reluctant, but she did not dare to disobey the old lady Ji's wishes, saluted everyone, and slowly went out.

"If you go out, take Xue'er with you too." Old Mrs. Ji said to Mrs. Ji Er.

"Old lady..." Mrs. Ji Er did not agree immediately.

"Xue'er is old, so you can't delay her. Moreover, the Gu family also relies on her to continue their bloodlines." Old Mrs. Ji wanted Mrs. Ji to find a marriage for Gu Xue'er.

Old Mrs. Ji doesn't like to go out and has no relatives. On this issue, she can only rely on her son and daughter-in-law.

"Old lady..." Mrs. Ji Er was a little embarrassed. However, some words had to be said, "If the wife goes out, the people who come and go to the official family..."

Mr. Ji Er is now a fourth-rank official. There is also a county lord's daughter who is very favored by the Empress Dowager and the Princess. This determines the identity of the female relatives whom Mrs. Ji Er is in contact with.

It is impossible for families with these identities to marry Gu Xueer.

Old Mrs. Ji actually knew this truth in her heart, but she still frowned. It was not annoyed Mrs. Ji Er, but also a trouble.

"The Gu family is no longer there. This is the only thing I can do for the Gu family." Old Mrs. Ji's meaning is very clear. No matter how difficult this matter is, Master Ji Er and Mrs. Ji Er have to do it.

If you keep Gu Xueer in Qingyuan and marry a wealthy farmer, it is actually a good way out.

But Old Mrs. Ji has already brought Gu Xueer to the capital, so it will be of no benefit to say this.

"I will only leave this matter to you. I can't trust them with the eldest master and the eldest lady." Old Mrs. Ji simply said again. The old lady knew in her heart that Master Ji Er and Mrs. Ji Er treated her sincerely.

"Xiaotang, you have the best way. If you don't look at others, just look at your grandmother's face. Please help me think of a solution." Old Mrs. Ji's eyes fell on Ji Xiaotang again, and her tone was very soft, even a little weak.

No matter what she feels, Old Mrs. Ji rarely reveals her side in front of others.

"Why do grandmother say that? Mom, dad and I will think of a solution." Raising Gu Xueer for the rest of her life may be a safe way. Their family doesn't care about raising such a person. ∮, but they still have to worry about Mrs. Ji's obsession.

"That's good, that's good." Old Mrs. Ji was immediately happy when she saw Ji Xiaotang agreeing.

As he was talking, the little girl outside reported that Yao was coming.

Yao also brought Zhou Nianhong with him.

Ji Xiaotang was secretly careful these days and saw that Yao was a very eye-catching person. Because she had just returned, Yao did not show up. Now it is estimated that they had almost finished talking about it before bringing Zhou Nianhong.

Yao's timing was very good, and it was not annoying (because they were outsiders after all), and he was also rushing Ji Xiaotang and Mrs. Ji Er to be in Xuanhua Hall.

After a greeting, Mrs. Ji Er asked Zhou Qiao: "Did you go to school today? I don't know if you are used to it in school? What is missing and what is there, please tell me."

Zhou Qiao is thirteen years old, at the age of studying.

Master Ji met Yao in Xuanhua Hall and his children. While chatting, Yao mentioned that Zhou Qiao had invited a seat at home. However, after the uproar, Zhou Qiao's homework was delayed.

Master Ji immediately took on a lot of things and said he wanted to arrange for Zhou Qiao to study in school.

Sure enough, within a few days, Master Ji finished the matter. Zhou Qiao is now studying in a private school only three streets away from Xinhuatang. The private school was jointly organized by several Beijing officials for their children and nephews. They are all civil officials, and one of them is a friend of Master Ji.

Zhou Qiao used the identity of Mr. Ji's nephew to read it there.

"I went to school early in the morning. The second wife prepared very well. Qiao'er was very good at school." Yao said with a smile.

"That's good." Old Mrs. Ji nodded, "If there is any inconvenience, don't hide it from it. I remember that you have such a temper since you were a child, and you ended up being wronged."

Yao's eyes suddenly turned red, as if he was touched by Mrs. Ji's words.

"It's hard for the old lady to remember that I have been worried about me over the years." Yao lowered his head and said softly.

After hearing Yao said this, Old Mrs. Ji felt a little guilty: "Miss Qin, don't say such words again, it makes me feel more uncomfortable."

The atmosphere in the room became a little gloomy.

In this atmosphere, Zhou Nianhong became uncomfortable. She frowned and gently pulled Yao's sleeve: "Mom..."

Zhou Nianhong's tone contained a hint of disagreement, but more of it was pain.

"It's me." Yao seemed to listen to Zhou Nianhong's words very much. Without waiting for others to say anything, she had already taken out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes quickly. When she raised her head again, Yao's face was already smiling again.

"...Last time the county lord said he liked the style, Honger and I made a pair of shoes for the county lord, and we can already do it. The county lord will see if he likes it or not. Do he fit or not?"

As Yao said this, Zhou Nianhong took out a pair of embroidered shoes wrapped in a veil from her arms.

This pair of shoes uses the most popular lotus high sole in the capital. The upper is made of red silk and is embroidered with exquisite patterns. Ji Xiaotang looked at the pattern and remembered that it seemed that everyone was looking through the patterns together a few days ago. She praised this pattern. At that time, Yao and Zhou Nianhong were both present.

I think this mother and two of them were at that time, and in the past few days, they made such a pair of shoes.

"How did this make it?" Ji Xiaotang said.

"I said this is at home. There is no need to call her like a county lord. It's too disgusting. I'll just call her Xiaotang according to the original one." Mrs. Ji Er said.

Zhou Nianhong immediately lowered her head.

Yao smiled with her face: "Does Xiaotang like these shoes? Hong'er and I will do it separately..."

Ji Xiaotang didn't listen carefully to Yao's words. She was more concerned about Zhou Nianhong. Seeing that Zhou Nianhong had her head down and her face turned slightly red, Ji Xiaotang sighed in her heart.

"It's not that I don't like it, but this pair of shoes is very labor-intensive, so how can I get through it?" Ji Xiaotang said.

"It's not a long time. Anyway, we mother and daughter have nothing to do every day. We still feel bored after doing some needlework... I dare not say anything else, just this needlework can still be passed. If Xiaotang doesn't dislike it, just leave the work to me and Hong'er." Yao said eagerly.

Ji Xiaotang asked the girl to take the shoes, looked at them carefully again, and then tried it.

The shoes fit very well and are comfortable to wear.

"Thank you, Aunt Qin and Sister Hong'er." Ji Xiaotang thanked them and praised them for their good needlework.

Yao smiled, and Zhou Nianhong also raised her head.

"...I have heard that I have never been to the future..." Yao asked Princess Changning's tea party carefully, saying that she and Zhou Nianhong had never been to the capital.

After moving into Xinhua Hall, the two of them had never left the house.

Zhou Nianhong and Ji Xiaolian are the same age and are at the age of getting married.

...

Ji Xiaotang and Mrs. Ji Er returned to Jinghuatang together. Changsheng, who had just had a nap, ran over.

The little guy wrapped it up like a cotton bun, and gave the two in a regular manner: "Please pay me a blessing to my mother. Please pay me a blessing to the county lord sister."

Although he behaves like a little adult, his voice is still slim and slim.

"Who taught you what the county lord's sister is?" Ji Xiaotang took Changsheng's hand and sat on the kang together.

Changsheng smiled with a pursed lips: "My sister is the county lord, no one needs to teach her."

"Naughty." Ji Xiaotang pinched the long-lasting fleshy face, "I can only call her sister in the future."
