Chapter 18 Desires(1/2)
While Mrs. Ji Xiaoyun and Huaijin were talking to each other, Ji Xiaotang called Hanmei to ask. "≤,
It was mostly Qin Zhen’s contribution to the fact that Hanmei was able to continue serving Huaijin at Shunyi Bo Mansion. Huaijin’s life in Shunyi Bo Mansion was quite good, but it was due to the money.
Ji Xiaotang gave wintersweet a lot of silver and asked her to make some money.
"Don't be stingy with money, as long as they are willing to accept it." Ji Xiaotang told the wintersweet.
"I don't care about my mansion. I don't want to live here. Aunt, Xiaotang, can you pick me up and live with you?" Huai Jin looked at the three of them with a begging.
After hearing what he said, Mrs. Ji Er and Ji Xiaoyun almost burst into tears.
Huaijin is only eight or nine years old now, but she is a sensible child. Although she is sensible, she still says this, not because she is dissatisfied with the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the Shunyi Bo Mansion, but because she is attached to the Ji family.
In his heart, Ji Xiaotang, Ji Xiaoyun and Ji Er’s wife are his family. He is attached to his family and wants to live with his family.
Mrs. Ji didn't say anything, but Ji Xiaoyun looked at Ji Xiaotang with red eyes, with a look of pleading and hope on her face.
In Ji Xiaoyun's opinion, Ji Xiaotang is almost omnipotent.
But the fact is not the case. For example, Ji Xiaotang cannot do this request from Huai Jin.
Rejecting Xie Huaijin is cruel, but what is even more cruel is to deceive him and give him unexpected expectations. Even if he is just a child in mind, he has a reality that he must face.
"It's not that I don't want to, but that I can't do it." Ji Xiaotang did not choose an euphemistic statement, but said it quite directly.
"Oh..." Xie Huaijin's expression of disappointment almost overflowed.
"Huaijin, you must adapt to life here." Ji Xiaotang told Xie Huaijin.
"Adapt..." Xie Huaijin repeated unconsciously.
"How did he adapt..." Ji Xiaoyun cried, "In the huge house, there is no one who treats him sincerely and can make him rely on, all look at him like a prisoner, or they would think of him as a money tree and think of a way to blow money out of him..."
In the end, Ji Xiaoyun was a little out of control.
This is what she thought of when she encountered the Qin family in Huaiyuan.
However, Xie Huaijin's situation at this moment is nothing compared to Ji Xiaoyun's experience.
"Huaijin needs to adapt to this place, and we will also think of ways. Some things cannot be accomplished overnight, so we have to take it slowly." However, one thing is certain, Ji Xiaotang will never ignore Xie Huaijin.
"Although we don't live in the same place, we will always be a family." Ji Xiaotang told Xie Huaijin, "In the future, my sister and I will try our best to see you."
"Really?" Xie Huaijin looked at Ji Xiaotang with big eyes and watery eyes.
Ji Xiaoyun also looked at Ji Xiaotang, with the same problem in her eyes.
"Of course it's true." Ji Xiaotang nodded solemnly.
Although the joints were opened, such a meeting could not last long.∮, Shunyi Bo is still the center of attention in the court. Ji Xiaotang understood this in his heart. When the time came, he would let the officials and other serving people come in.
With these people present, everyone talked for a while before Ji Xiaotang got up and said goodbye to Xie Huaijin's reluctance to leave.
Ji Xiaotang told Xie Huaijin that they would come to see him soon.
...
When they returned to Xinhua Hall, a few people came to Xuanhua Hall to meet Old Mrs. Ji.
"How is the situation of that child Huaijin?" asked Old Mrs. Ji.
"It's okay." Mrs. Ji Er replied.
"How good can it be," Ji Xiaoyun said. Although she stopped crying at this moment, her eyes were still red. "He looks like he is not by his family, how good can he live."
"Someone bullies him?" Old Mrs. Ji asked immediately.
"No." Ji Xiaotang replied, she had confirmed this with Hanmei.
"Oh, then... that's fine." Old Mrs. Ji sighed.
"Xiaotang, when will we go down to see Huaijin?" Ji Xiaoyun asked Ji Xiaotang. She just came back and asked like this. Perhaps she felt that she was going to keep an eye on Ji Xiaotang in front of Old Mrs. Ji, worried that if she couldn't do it.
"It will always take a few days." Ji Xiaotang did not say a certain day.
"Do you still have to find Princess Changning? Or do you want to find the prince? If you need some money, I will have it there." Ji Xiaoyun said hurriedly.
"No one has to look for it, just spend some money." Ji Xiaotang replied.
Ji Xiaoyun immediately became happy, she didn't have anything else. But it would be no problem for her to have money.
"Is this possible... OK?" Mrs. Ji Er thought more than Ji Xiaoyun after all, and asked Ji Xiaotang worriedly.
"Well..." Ji Xiaotang nodded slightly and said nothing.
When Master Ji Er came back from the yamen, Ji Xiaotang was in Jinghua Hall. Mrs. Ji Er talked about visiting Xie Huaijin today.
"It's so difficult to meet once, and I even asked to go to the palace. Why did you say that you can often go to the Uncle Shunyi Mansion to see Huaijin if you only need some money to make up your money in the future?" Mrs. Ji Er said uneasyly.
"The Uncle Shunyi just opened his palace and his status is special. The first time we went there, of course we had to ask for the palace. Although I was looking for Changning, the one I reported was the Empress Dowager." This is the passing of the Ming Road.
Ji Xiaotang carefully explained to Mrs. Ji Er, and at the same time expressed her own opinions, wanting to hear Master Ji Er's opinions.
"In addition to what I saw and heard in Shunyi Bo Mansion today, my mother and sister would like to see Huaijin in the future, and they could go openly, and they could only go openly." After Ji Xiaotang said that, she looked at Master Ji Er, "What do dad mean?"
The grudge between Ji and Xie families saved Xie Huaijin's life. The Ji family has done its best. I believe that under the same circumstances, few people will do this, and few people can do this.
And the Ji family did it.
Xie Huaijin became Shunyi Bo, and he had no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life. The Ji family could give up him. Doing so was undoubtedly the most beneficial approach for the Ji family. ()
However, this has to be eliminated from emotional factors.
"You can't worry about him. If you want to go see him, go see him." Master Ji Er pondered for a moment and sighed, "You just have to know what you can say and what you can't say. Don't talk to him in private, and let the people who serve in Shunyi's mansion follow you."
Xie Huaijin's child is not worried about his inappropriate words, which makes the palace suspicious.
Ji Xiaotang nodded.
"There are always eight or nine things that are not satisfactory in life. It is already the heavens' pity that Huaijin's child can save his life. We shouldn't expect more." Mr. Ji Er whispered again, "In a few years, the situation will always get better."
In a few years, Xie Huaijin's situation is very likely to gain a considerable degree of freedom.
Ji Xiaotang also agrees with this.
This stage is the price that everyone, including both Xie Huaijin and them, must pay.
It’s just that Ji Xiaotang’s personal hope is that this period of time can be shorter and shorter. The meeting must be made public, but other things must be done privately.
Enough money can make Xie Huaijin live in Shunyi Bo Mansion more comfortable and comfortable, allowing them to meet frequently. However, more money can not be achieved.
That needs to...
That night, Ji Xiaotang tossed and turned, and in the end she only got one answer: earth-shaking.
...
At the end of the year, Xinhua Hall was busy everywhere, and everyone was preparing for the New Year.
On this day, Master Ji was about to catch up with Master Ji, Master Ji Er and Ji Xiaomu were both relaxed at home. The whole family gathered in Xuanhua Hall and discussed the New Year's Day with Mrs. Ji.
"...Send the old lady Hong Fu, let's have a reunited New Year this year." After talking about the arrangements for the New Year, Mrs. Ji said with a smile.
Old Mrs. Ji snorted, as if she was a little unhappy.
Mrs. Ji was smart and immediately reacted and quickly explained: "It's a pity that the third master is not in the capital. Qingyuan can be free. Why not let Xiaomu take someone to come and take his uncle over. First, we can reunite with the old lady. Second, our family can also get together."
Mrs. Ji is actually a very considerate person. The fundamental reason for making such a mistake is that she did not remember Master Ji San at all. Her family is just her room. The second room is in front of her, and Master Ji San is far away from Qingyuan, and she forgot about it.
Old Mrs. Ji's face calmed down.
"There are many things in Qingyuan, but it's not possible without the third brother. Moreover, the third brother also has errands. After this year, he has to go out to sea again." Master Ji Er explained.
"This is also the third brother who is glorious and conscientious in his ancestors and contributes to the country." Master Ji nodded while touching his beard.
Mrs. Ji smiled and agreed.
"I haven't seen my third brother for many years, so I really want to see him. He is now promising." Master Ji said to Master Ji Er.
"If you want to see your third brother, I'm afraid you will have to wait until the end of the next year." Master Ji Er said. Qin Zhen has returned to Beijing. When Master Ji San comes back from sea again, he should have the opportunity to go to Beijing to report his work.
As everyone was talking, a little girl ran in and reported that it was someone from Qingyuan.
This is Mr. Ji San’s beating someone.
Old Mrs. Ji immediately felt happy on her face and she hurriedly called in.
The one who entered Beijing by Master Ji San was his personal servant. As he went to sea twice, he was now the copper coins in charge.
Copper coins are smart, and after following Master Ji San’s experience in recent years, they are very capable. Copper coins bring three cars of New Year’s goods, as well as letters from home.
The letter from home was written to Mrs. Ji to wish you a happy new year, so it was handed over to Mr. Ji Er and read it out in public.
In his letter, Master Ji San said that he was in Qingyuan. Since Ji Xiaotang and the others left, Qingyuan has not changed much. Master Ji San is very busy and has been traveling back and forth between Ren An and Wanjia Village. Compared to Qingyuan, he lived in Wanjia Village more because he had to prepare to go to sea next year.
Old Mrs. Ji was very pleased that she knew that Mr. Ji San was in good condition.
Everyone was very happy to hear Mr. Ji San’s letter.
The copper coins not only brought Mr. Ji San's New Year's gift and letters from home, but also brought two cars of New Year's goods from Mu Hong and Shen's family and a letter, which made Mrs. Ji even more happy.
The New Year’s goods sent by Master Ji San and the Mu family were very rich and almost everything was complete. It seemed that he felt that Ji Xiaotang’s family had no farms when they arrived in the capital, so they had to buy everything, so they prepared everything and sent it.
Not to mention the value of things, this kind of intention will make everyone feel warm.
