The three of them returned to Xi Mansion. Nanyuan was clean and tidy, but she was still the same old woman.
Nothing has changed.
When Jiang Yanjin came back, she first went to the old lady's place, gave her a New Year's gift, and stated that she and her sister were about to move out.
The old lady naturally stayed.
"Good boy, you are studying here, how can you have time to make a living? Just stay here and wait until you finish studying before leaving.
You don’t need to give me anything, just come back and see me from time to time, even if you are interested.” The old lady smiled.
The old lady of the Xi family has many good relationships, and she likes Mr. Jiang's child very much because he is so well-behaved and endearing.
On the surface, Jiang Yanjin had to refuse, saying she would take a look.
In the evening, Yun Qiao went to the old lady's yard.
This is her first time here after getting married.
Because she stayed away for ten days, Yun Qiao missed many wedding rituals.
When she saw the old lady, she called out "Mother", and it went more smoothly than she expected, naturally.
The old lady treated her respectfully, politely and thoughtfully: "How are you these days?"
"fine."
"Is it convenient for you to live there? Do you need a few more people to do things?" the old lady asked again.
Although Yun Qiao lived in Xi Lanting's courtyard, her clothes were put into small baskets and carried to the door, where the servants took them out for washing.
Yun Qiao and Xi Lanting took turns cleaning the room. The work was not much, so it was quite interesting.
"No need, Mom, everything is very convenient." Yun Qiao said.
After a pause, Yun Qiao suddenly said, "You... know the identity of Master Qi, right?"
The old lady nodded: "Yes."
Yun Qiao breathed a sigh of relief.
"I won't bother you anymore, I just want to ask you a favor: the Jiang brothers and sisters, mainly Miss Jiang, it may not be convenient for her to live outside. After all, Young Master Jiang has to study and is not at home every day.
Why don't you stay at our house, and the food expenses can be deducted from Master Qi's account." Yun Qiao said.
After hearing this, the old lady smiled and said, "That's okay."
If something happens to the Jiang family, people like Lao Zhai may dislike the Jiang brothers and sisters for freeloading and gossiping in the Xi family.
It's better to blame it on Master Qi.
Each room in the Xi family has monthly "living expenses." Xi Lanting has never needed these, but his money is quite large.
The Jiang brothers and sisters were his guests and spent their share of the money, leaving no room for others to talk.
For the Jiang brothers and sisters, it has also lightened their mental burden, and they only need to thank Yun Qiao and Qi Ye.
When this matter is settled, all three parties will feel at ease.
The Jiang brothers and sisters packed up the house, cleaned it inside and out with their old lady, and then moved in.
The Xi family soon learned that the Jiang siblings were back.
When I came back this time, the food and accommodation were provided by Master Qi because they were friends of Mrs. Qi.
Not many people talk about this topic, after all, there is nothing explosive about it.
There are even conspiracy theories behind it.
"Our family takes advantage of both sides. If the emperor is really settled and the country is stable, we have the Jiang family to follow. Externally, we still stand on the side of public opinion and fight against the imperial system."
This is called having both inside and outside, each has its own benefits.
The old lady has always been wise, and everyone thinks that this is her old lady’s intention.
But the old lady's intention was very simple: if Yun Qiao wanted the Jiang brothers and sisters to stay, they had to borrow it.
The Xi family's family status is not enough for the ancestors to be crushed to death with one finger. Does the old lady dare to give Yun Qiao a hard time?
The Jiang brothers and sisters knew that this time it was thanks to Yun Qiao, and they also had a focus in their hearts. They walked confidently in the Xi family and no longer felt guilty.
After all, I didn’t eat the food from their father-in-law, but the food was under the private name of Master Qi.
Jiang Yanjin will be very busy next time.
I went to Yanmen, and with Jingxin taking care of him, he went smoothly; the difficulty was in his schoolwork.
He was busy copying notes day and night.
Selantine returned home on Sunday afternoon.
Yun Qiao was taking a nap when she suddenly felt something kiss her cheek and woke up immediately.
She hung on him and said, "Are you back?"
"I promise you." Xi Lanting said.
He neatly took off his shoes, got on the bed, and got into Yun Qiao's bed.
