Chapter 161 The Ji Family

"Miss." While Dong was going to the kitchen, Duofu whispered, "My uncle's house is so small, can we live in it?"

Mingwei said: "My uncle's family has two cousins, so there is room for them to live."

"But……"

Mingwei waved his hand: "Don't mention this."

She knew what Duofu wanted to say. The Ming Mansion in Dongning was very spacious, and it was as big as Yu Fangyuan, and it was just the mother and daughter. The Ji family was so small, I'm afraid they could only get one or two rooms.

Duofu was worried that she would be uncomfortable living there, but Mingwei had no such thoughts at all.

She is originally a Jianghu person, and it is enough to have a three-foot-square place to settle down. She does not need to live in a spacious place.

However, Nanny Tong and Bing Xinsujie haven't come yet. When they arrive, the Ji family will really not be able to accommodate them...

Let’s talk about it then.

Not long after, Mrs. Ji came back.

She is a very ordinary middle-aged woman, even a little older.

When she saw Mingwei, her eyes turned red. She hugged her and cried, "Ayu, poor Ayu! We haven't seen each other for so many years, but we can't see her anymore. This child looks so much like you!"

Mingwei didn't like to get too close to others, but she cried so sincerely that she couldn't help but feel a little sad.

Aunt Tong said that before her mother got married, she relied on her eldest sister-in-law to take care of her. She had a very good relationship with her, which seems to be true.

After crying for a while, Mrs. Ji put away her tears and spoke to her softly: "Auntie didn't scare you, did she? It's just that I haven't seen your mother for many years, and I miss you so much, but I can't see her anymore... Good boy, your mother

Yes, your eldest cousin has already said in his letter that he can live here with peace of mind from now on. It’s just that our home is small and not as good as yours, so don’t dislike it..."

Ming smiled and said: "I am homeless now, and my aunt is willing to take me in. It's too late to be grateful, so how can I dislike her?"

"Okay." Mrs. Ji patted her hand, "You've had a hard journey, sit down and rest first, and aunt will prepare something delicious for you."

With that said, he left in a hurry.

Duofu was a little puzzled: "Miss."

"Um?"

"My uncle's house seems to be very different!"

Ming smiled: "This is different, isn't it good?"

Duofu said: "It feels... it seems pretty good. My uncle is very kind, and my young lady is also easy to get along with."

In the evening, Mr. Ji came back.

His appearance was similar to Mingwei's imagination.

She is in her forties, with a slim figure like Ji Ling, and her appearance is somewhat similar to Mrs. Mingsan, so she looks more handsome. Her big sleeves flutter as she walks, and she looks elegant.

When he saw Mingwei, although he was not as excited as Mrs. Ji, his eyes were red and he remained silent for a long time.

After a while, he held back his tears before talking to her. He first asked about the third lady Ming's life, and then about the situation of the Ming family.

Mingwei answered them one by one.

Mr. Ji said warmly: "You can live in peace. My uncle asked your cousin to help inquire about your family's affairs. Your Majesty is lenient. He will probably treat women and children leniently. Don't worry too much."

Mingwei should be.

Mr. Ji was silent and then said: "I still remember that when you were a child, you were different from the other children. I didn't expect that you would be so lucky. You would be cured of your illness for many years. This is also a good thing for good people. Give more in the future.

Put a few sticks of incense on your mother and ask her to bless you with a smooth life."

When he said this, Mingwei's eyes turned slightly red.

Mr. Ji added: "I heard that you brought your mother's ashes here, which is good. Since the Ming family didn't treat her well, then come back. In the future, when you get married to Xiao Wu, just offer incense to her."

"

Mingwei said it was.

Naturally she doesn't want this marriage, but the current atmosphere is not right, so she won't mention it for now.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Mr. Ji looked at the door several times and asked his daughter-in-law: "Where is Xiao Wu? Why aren't you back so late?"

Mrs. Dong was helpless: "My daughter-in-law has sent someone to find him, but my brother-in-law..."

Mr. Ji frowned: "Didn't I tell you earlier that his cousin is here today and he wants to come back early?"

Mr. Dong was not easy to answer.

Ji Ling came in with her daughter in her arms and said, "Dad, you don't know Xiao Wu's temper. Leave him alone, let's eat!"

After that, he encouraged his daughter to go find her grandfather.

Mr. Ji lost his temper when his granddaughter yelled at her and said, "Then let's eat."

Mingwei enjoyed this meal very much.

There is no need to separate tables, just the whole family sitting together to eat.

Mrs. Ji's craftsmanship is very good and has the flavor of Dongning.

After dinner, Mrs. Dong took her to settle down.

"This house is where your two cousins ​​lived when they were not out of the palace. The two rooms are connected. Do you think it suits you? It means your maid will be wronged. There is no other room."

Duofu said hurriedly: "Young madam, you're welcome. I have always been with you. I don't need another room."

Mr. Dong smiled and said, "It's okay if you don't think you are being slighted."

Mingwei stood in the room, looking at the decorations, feeling quite moved.

She had seen with her own eyes how small the Ji family's house was. Ji Ling was married and only lived in a wing, but she was given two rooms that were connected.

The furnishings in the house are not gorgeous, but they are very detailed. From the color of the tent to the mirror stand, everything has been carefully selected.

The study room separated outside is fully equipped with pens, inks, paper, inkstones, music, chess, calligraphy and paintings.

Mrs. Dong saw her staring at the chess, chess and other objects, and said: "This chessboard was used by your cousin before. It is a bit old, but I have always cherished it, so I just gave it to you as a decoration. This chessboard was bought by your eldest cousin.

He said it was an old thing from the previous dynasty, but I think he was deceived." He covered his lips and smiled.

Mingwei stretched out his hand and tapped the chessboard, and smiled: "It's definitely not from the previous dynasty, but it is indeed the best paulownia wood."

Dong was surprised: "Cousin, do you still understand this?"

Mingwei said: "I just saw it."

There was undisguised admiration in Mrs. Dong's eyes: "Before we met, I thought about what my cousin looked like a thousand times. Now that I have met her, I know that no matter how much I imagined, it is not as good as reality. Looking at my cousin, it is not difficult to imagine how my aunt looked before.

It’s a pity that I can’t see the character..."

Mingwei was slightly saddened by her, and silently looked at the chessboard in trance.

Mrs. Dong hurriedly said: "Look at me, why are you talking about this? My cousin is doing well now, and my aunt in heaven will also be happy."

Ming smiled and nodded.

Seeing the Ji family like this, she couldn't help but think, if Mrs. Mingsan was alive, how great it would be if she could return to the Ji family!

It's a pity that things don't go as expected.

Mrs. Dong talked some more words with her, and seeing that she was sleepy, she left.

On the night she first arrived in the capital, Mingwei was in a calm and sad mood. She had no intention of reading anything else, so she and Duofu packed up early and went to bed.

She didn't hear any news about her fifth cousin's return until she went to bed.

In the middle of the night, everything is silent.

The door of Ji's house has long been locked. Someone climbed up the wall unsteadily, looked up and saw a bright moon, and didn't want to come down anymore, so he just sat there and recited poems.

"The bright moon rises over the sea..."

Mingwei was half asleep when she suddenly woke up. She put on her clothes and left the room, just in time to see someone going crazy under the moonlight...
