Chapter 078 The Housewarming Ceremony
The two sisters Guo Yan immediately stood up and looked at the door at the same time.
Mrs. Jiang also turned her head.
Ji Wan led the maid in and saw her mother first, "Mom."
"Is this Miss Ji?"
Mrs. Jiang's smiled eyes fell on Ji Wan, "He is so beautiful. Ye'er, come, thank you for your benefactor."
Goudan, no, it should be called Guo Ye now.
Last year, he had a stomachache and had a stomachache. He still remembered a beautiful sister taking his pulse. But Ji Wan changed a lot more than when she first met last year. She was taller and more beautiful. He was a little stunned for a moment and didn't come back to her senses.
Guo Yan was the first to come back to his senses and led his sister over, and was very disciplined to bless him.
"In the past, my sisters were grateful for the free consultation for my younger brother. Today I would like to thank you."
Ji Wan's eyes fell on the two sisters, quite surprised.
It was completely different from the thin girl who went out to find a doctor last year with her younger brother on her back. Perhaps because of her better life, Guo Yan lost her pale face and thin skin. She grew taller, and her original appearance gradually revealed. Even her fingers faded away a little roughness.
She was wearing a pink skirt, which was the best silk brocade, with flower ornaments on her forehead, a white jade hairpin on her head, and some fine but delicate hair accessories around her, which was so rich that she could not tell.
"It is my duty as a doctor to cure diseases and save people. I'm welcome."
She politely gave Mrs. Jiang a blessing, and she had seen the courtesy before she sat down.
Guo Ye also woke up at this moment and quickly walked up to her, bent down and bowed, "Sister's past grace of saving life is unforgettable, so I'll thank you very much."
However, in more than half a year, the words and deeds of several children were very different. It was thought that Mrs. Jiang hired a scholar to teach her lessons.
The daughter agreed to this matter, and Zhou smiled and said, "It's getting late, so it's better to follow me to the table, let's talk about it slowly."
Mrs. Jiang nodded, "Okay."
On the way to the hall, Ji Wan briefly talked about what happened that day. She didn't expect that she would save someone casually and become a new neighbor.
I can only say that this world is too small.
During the meal, Mrs. Jiang held Ji Wan's hand and praised her, her eyes full of joy. While responding modestly, Ji Wan looked at the noble lady who was said to have abandoned her husband and son.
Mrs. Jiang looked about the same age as Zhou, with a very beautiful appearance, but she was different from Zhou's gentleness and elegance, and was more charming and gorgeous. Every frown and smile had its own charm. Looking at her words and deeds, she was gentle and charitable, and she was very extraordinary.
No matter how you look at it, it doesn’t look like a woman who is so angry that her husband abandons his children and turns to marry into a wealthy family as a wife. But after witnessing the poverty and misery of the Guo family with his own eyes, Ji Wan also feels that perhaps the kindness Mrs. Jiang showed today is all false masks.
Mrs. Jiang seemed to have a very close relationship with Zhou, so Ji Wan took Guo Yan and her brother to the flower hall, but met Lu Feili in the back garden.
Guo Yan observed his expression and saw that he had something to say to Ji Wan, so he consciously took his younger brother and sister away first.
"Didn't the prince drink with General Zhu and the others in the front yard? Why did he come here?"
This house was bought and sold to her by Lu Feili, so she is naturally very familiar with the internal structure.
Lu Feili stood by the rockery, looked at the setting of the garden and said, "This garden is so well decorated, are you planning to live here for the rest of your life?"
Ji Wan looked at him strangely, "Is there anything wrong with living here for a lifetime?"
Lu Feili smiled and did not answer. He took two steps casually, and suddenly asked again: "Didn't your mother think about going back to the capital?"
Ji Wan was stunned, with a little more exploration in her eyes.
"What the hell does the prince want to say?"
Lu Feili walked leisurely in the courtyard, and the scenery everywhere he looked. Unlike the luxury of those wealthy families, it had more elegant and indifferent taste, which made people feel better.
"Yancheng is close to the battlefield. If there is any war, it will be uneasy. The family business you have worked hard to earn will be in vain. It would be better to change the place, and the peace is always at the foot of the emperor."
That may not be.
Ji Wan didn't care.
There are many aristocratic families in the capital, and there are many powerful people everywhere. You have to be careful when speaking and doing things. If you accidentally offend someone, it will be a disaster.
Of course, this cannot be said in front of the prince, so she changed her words, "If there is any war, I believe that the prince and the soldiers from the north will be able to keep Yancheng peaceful and the people worry-free. I was born here and grew up here, so I naturally felt that no matter where I was, I would feel that it was not as good as my hometown. As for the others, I would only feel strange and confused."
Lu Feili stopped and looked at her.
The thirteen-year-old girl has bright and honest eyes, resolute and courageous eyes, and has maturity and calmness that is not in line with her age.
"The capital also has a foothold, so there is no need to worry too much."
Ji Wan smiled and knew that he wanted her to tell her mother on his behalf.
It seems that he should have investigated his mother's old affairs. Ji Wan didn't want to know the old grievances, which were scars in her mother's heart. As her daughter, she was unwilling to reveal them.
"The prince's kindness is the little girl. If you have the chance in the future, you may go to the capital and experience the prosperity and prosperity of the capital."
This is considered a polite decline.
Lu Feili looked at her for a while and said nothing.
The garden is very big, and the little girls and children are chatting and watching in the flower hall. Few people come to the back garden. The two stand side by side and walk slowly.
The weather has begun to turn cooler, and occasionally a breeze blows by, the flowers and plants in the garden sway gently, the water lilies in the pond bloom, the lotus leaves are blooming, and the fields are elegant and pleasant.
"Is this house still suitable for your wish?"
The Duke’s Mansion is a seven-enterprise courtyard, rich and luxurious. At that time, considering that their family has a small population, they bought these three-enterprise courtyards. Now it looks a little bigger.
“Very good.”
Ji Wan smiled, "The location is good and the internal structure is good. Our whole family likes it very much. Thank you, the prince."
"You bought it yourself, I'm only responsible for helping you choose." Lu Feili said, "Today, I brought a few servants from the mansion, thinking about your new home moving, which is a gift I gave."
Ji Wan was stunned.
This house is too big, and there are several people who have to take care of the garden alone, not to mention the front yard, back yard, kitchen and other places, people are required to be employed everywhere.
She also thought that she would go to the market to buy people in two days, but she didn't expect that Lu Feili would send them directly.
Unexpectedly, the prince of the Duke's Mansion, who was Jin Zun and Yugui, was really very careful and considerate.
If it were normal, Ji Wan would definitely not accept him as a "grace" for nothing, but he said it was a housewarming ceremony, so Ji Wan could not refuse it.
So she smiled and said, "The prince is the best person to choose, so I will be more respectful than obedient."
Lu Feili smiled and said, "Just ahead, there are a few whom I brought from the mansion, some maids, some servants... they are all honest and capable. Oh, and there are also a few maids brought by Qi Ji. Together, there are about twenty. Do you want to go and have a look? They are also assigned to the distribution."
Twenty...
Ji Wan moaned in her mind that so many people would have to at least dozens of taels of silver.
"Oh, they all signed a dead contract." Lu Feili said: "I have handed over the contract to your mother."
This person is really thoughtful.
I knew they had just moved to Dengxian and had no connections. And the servants in his mansion and Qi Mansion were all old people who had served for many years, and were much more expensive than those in ordinary mansions. I was afraid that they would feel unfair to come to her house, so I used Qiao as a raft.
But if they hold their contract to sell their body, they dare not be too rampant.
"Then go and have a look."
Today is a feast at home, and the servants have no time to send it to them, so they are temporarily placed in the downcast room.
In the main hall of the backyard, Mrs. Jiang, Qiu, had already had a family conversation with Zhou.
"Look, your daughter saved my son's life first, and now your family has become our neighbors. We are really destined to be together."
Mrs. Qiu was familiar with her and was close to Mrs. Zhou, with a smile on her face.
Zhou's face was filled with a decent smile, "What's the point of saving lives? It's just a simple task. The lady is really serious."
"A drop of water should be repaid with a spring of spring." Qiu said, "My sister Yan's life is a hard life. I have not been by their side in the past few years. The three brothers and sisters have suffered a lot. That time, thanks to your girl, you can see at a glance that your karma has suffered from hookworm disease and prescribed a prescription, which is only cured."
She did not avoid the fact that she had abandoned her children and remarried, and there was no shame or embarrassment on her face, but she was a little desolate and sad between her eyebrows.
Zhou remained silent and continued to smile and chatted with her.
"Sister, I heard that you are from the South?"
Mrs. Qiu suddenly asked about her origin. Mrs. Zhou was stunned and then smiled lightly and said, "Yes."
Mrs. Qiu showed a surprise smile on her face, "I am also from the south."
