Chapter 62 She's Curious!
There was also a very solemn carriage parked at the door. Next to the carriage was a young man driving the horse, standing respectfully and looking extremely well-educated.
Even though Ji Daya had worked in the backyards of wealthy families in the town, she rarely saw such scenes, and she immediately felt at a loss.
"Da Ya, where is my cousin?" Ji Minghui asked in a loud voice as soon as he saw her coming out. "Mr. Pei from Mingjin Academy is here. He is also a gentleman who has taught my cousin. He came specially to see my cousin."
He took a bullock cart back to the school in the town early in the morning. He told his husband about his cousin. When he learned that his cousin was still alive, he couldn't help but reject it without saying anything.
He had a lot of things to do, so he had to come here and talk to his cousin about it.
"Ah? Oh, my brother and his sister-in-law went to open up wasteland. Cousin Minghui, please wait a moment. I'll call him back right now!" After saying that, Ji Daya ran away without even bothering to say hello to Mr. Pei.
Go call Ji Jingbai.
There was no owner in the house, and Ji Minghui couldn't invite his husband in just like that, so he and his husband could only continue to wait at the door of the yard.
But in his heart, Ji Minghui felt that Ji Daya was too rude.
No matter what, you have to invite them in before calling for help.
Mr. Pei glanced at Ji Daya's Xiong Ying who was running farther and farther away, then looked back and asked Ji Minghui next to him: "Did I remember it wrong? I remember that Jingbai only had a younger sister, and that was his younger brother just now.
Right? But it’s strange, that brother actually has a double bun and is wearing women’s clothes.”
Ji Minghui said awkwardly: "Sir, she is cousin Jingbai's sister Ji Daya."
"Ah?" Mr. Pei was stunned and embarrassed, and said repeatedly: "My eyes are blind, my eyes are blind." Then he stopped talking.
But I was secretly wondering.
Ji Daya was tall and had long legs. After a while, she ran to the foot of the mountain and shouted to Ji Jingbai on the mountain, saying that Mr. Pei, who had taught him, was here and asked him to go home and meet him.
Before Ji Jingbai responded, Ye Guoguo happily picked up the hoe and ran down immediately.
She heard from Ji Minghui that Mr. Pei was a great contemporary Confucian with an extraordinary bearing and self-cultivation. He had been teaching for thirty years and had many talents all over the world. Many officials in the court were once his students. She was curious.
She was even more curious about what kind of gentleman he was, who dared to assert that her husband-in-law, when he was so young, would pass the 3rd grade in the civil service examination and become the top scholar in high school.
He didn't expect his little wife to be so excited. Ji Jingbai was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a smile, and then returned with his things.
Ye Guoguo ran so fast that Ji Daya, whose legs were much longer than hers, couldn't catch up with her. She ran back in one breath without blushing or out of breath.
As soon as she ran in front of Mr. Pei, Ye Guoguo raised her face and asked, "Uncle, are you my husband-in-law?"
Ji Minghui was startled and quickly scolded: "Sister-in-law, how can you call your husband uncle? You have to——"
Before he finished speaking, Mr. Pei looked kindly at Ye Guoguo, who was much shorter than him and was still carrying a hoe, waved at Ji Minghui and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter."
"Little girl, are you the wife who turned pale with shock?" Mr. Pei bent slightly and asked very kindly.
He had just heard the little girl say that he was her husband-in-law, so her husband-in-law should have been shocked. But this little girl is really cute, petite, fair-skinned, clear-eyed, and full of energy.
