Chapter 208 The details
Qin Da and Qin Er came to Qingyuan to help Qin Boyang prepare for the wedding, but they didn't have much contact with the Ji family.⊥, and they were not so busy that they couldn't separate themselves. With Ji Xiaotang's observation beside them, they were suspected of deliberately avoiding the Ji family.
It was not obvious in front of Mrs. Ji, but when he arrived in front of Mr. Ji Er and Mr. Ji San, it was much more obvious. Qin Boyang seemed unwilling to have his two cousins come into contact with the Ji family more.
As for Grandma Qin and Grandma Qin, they didn't come, and only beat two daughters-in-law in charge. It is said that the Qin family had just returned to Huaiyuan and had too many things to deal with at home.
Ji Xiaoyun was waiting to get married at the time, and she couldn't see these things at all. But when she said this today, she was even more sure that someone was provoking and instigating her.
It’s hard to say anything else, but this matter must be said by the Qin family.
"Oh..." Ji Xiaotang said it well and the old lady Ji had to nod. "Xiaoyun's mother-in-law is an honest person, she talks little and doesn't have that much thought. It shouldn't be what she said. It could not be what Boyang's child said. Could it be that there are some people in the Qin family who are uneasy?"
"I just called Hanmei and Dingxiang to ask. Xiaoyun was surrounded by our family, and there was no Qin family who was particularly handsome." Mrs. Ji Er said. She had arranged for Ji Xiaoyun very well because she was worried about Ji Xiaoyun. No servants of the Qin family could avoid the Ji family's companions and said provocations in front of Ji Xiaoyun.
"Oh..." Old Mrs. Ji frowned and said after a while, "This may be something that I can't see for a while."
Old Mrs. Ji refused to doubt Qin Boyang and Wang no matter what.
"They are both reasonable and reasonable people, so how could they do such ungrateful things! Some servants must be bad. When I called Xiaoyun and her mother-in-law to come, I would like to ask her. Such servants should be fought earlier so that the family would not be in peace." Old Mrs. Ji said.
"If my grandmother does this, my sister will be unhappy the first one." Ji Xiaotang said.
Old Mrs. Ji thought about it and stopped talking.
Ji Xiaoyun and Mrs. Ji Er came out of the old lady Ji's courtyard. When they returned to Mrs. Ji Er's house, they saw Mr. Ji Er drinking tea on the couch.
"Where have you been?" Master Ji Er asked.
Mrs. Ji Er said everything that happened just now.
Master Ji Er frowned.
"What's wrong with Boyang?" Mrs. Ji Er asked Master Ji Er again.
"There's nothing big wrong." Mr. Ji Er said very pertinently. He mainly took the school exam and taught Qin Boyang's articles. "Although he passed the exam, his skills were not solid. This child is very smart, with a bunch of articles, but he has nothing to say. If he refuses to work hard to change, he will probably have to stop along the way of fame."
As for family affairs, Master Ji Er also briefly talked with Qin Boyang, but there was no flaw.∮,
"This son-in-law is extremely smart. Compared with him, Xiaoyun is just a silly girl." Master Ji Er sighed. When he was engaged to the two, Master Ji Er knew about this.
Smart is not a bad thing, as long as you are willing to use it on the right path. Moreover, with the Ji family here, Ji Xiaoyun will not be sad when she is at the Qin family.
"Then ask Madam Cheng to come to the house to ask." Mr. Ji Er thought about it and said again.
Mrs. Ji nodded and immediately ordered, finding an excuse to call Mama Cheng back to speak.
Master Ji Er's eyes turned to Ji Xiaotang again.
"Xiaotang, before the meal, I saw you biting your uncle's ears, what did you do without me?"
"Dad, there is nothing else." Ji Xiaotang smiled, "My uncle arranged for someone to go far away. After the days of going there, I will ask."
The Ji family has no property in Huaiyuan. Master Ji San arranged for someone to go there for a long time and would have something to do? He must have visited the Qin family.
"It must be your idea again." Master Ji Er said.
"I just find it strange and can't let it go." Ji Xiaotang said, "What does Chacha say? If there is something wrong, everyone will discuss it. If it is all good, we can rest assured."
"Yes." Master Ji Er nodded slightly, not saying that Ji Xiaotang was not doing well. "When someone comes back, I will find out what I need, tell me immediately."
"Okay, dad." Mr. Ji Er said this, which actually agreed with Ji Xiaotang's approach.
The next morning, the Ji family took Madam Cheng back in a sedan chair.
"Thank you for your hard work in nanny." Ji Xiaotang took Madam Cheng to Mrs. Ji Er's house and asked Madam Cheng to sit down with a smile.
"I dare not say that I have any hard work in my own affairs." Madam Cheng said.
"Mum's days in Qinghe Hutong..." After a few greetings, Mrs. Ji Er hurried to get to the point.
"Mrs. and the third girl called me back specifically, but something was wrong." Madam Cheng was not asking questions, but affirming.
"Yes." Ji Xiaotang nodded and briefly told Madam Cheng about Ji Xiaoyun's recent changes, especially what she said yesterday.
"... I entrusted the nanny and asked if others didn't know. The nanny must have known it. Why did Xiaoyun change like this? Who instigated her?" Mrs. Ji Er asked.
"...Shame!" Madam Cheng said ashamed before she spoke.
Ji Xiaotang knew that things were not simple anymore.∮,
"... There is no definite evidence. If others don't say it. But if the wife and the girl trust me so much, I dare not avoid suspicion... No one around the second girl except the son-in-law can make the second girl so convinced, and have such an impact on the second girl!"
"It turned out to be Boyang!" Mrs. Ji Er was surprised.
"I dare not make random arrangements. I have never heard my son-in-law say anything bad to the second girl. On the contrary, sometimes the girl is a little bit unfair. The son-in-law advises the girl and says everything she says is a glorious and beautiful thing. Even if I listen to my son-in-law, I will listen very much. Even if an old lady is an old lady, she will not listen to the girl. Once the son-in-law says, the girl will be willing to listen."
"Isn't Xiaoyun's mother-in-law?" Mrs. Ji Er asked Madam Cheng without knowing what she was thinking.
Madam Cheng shook her head.
"Mrs. Qin talks to the girl, and I am present every time. She has not talked to the girl privately." The only person who can avoid Mama Cheng has enough chance and time to brainwash Ji Xiaoyun is Qin Boyang.
Mrs. Ji frowned for a while, then called Madam Cheng to approach and carefully inquire about Ji Xiaoyun and Qin Boyang's life after marriage. Mrs. Ji Er spoke very lowly, as if she was avoiding Ji Xiaotang.
Ji Xiaotang knew the situation and stepped back slightly.
However, some of the words of Mrs. Ji Er and Madam Cheng still got into his ears. Mrs. Ji Er asked Mrs. Cheng if Qin Boyang was too close to any girl, and asked whether Mrs. Cheng Qin Boyang and Wang had coveted Ji Xiaoyun's dowry.
Madam Cheng's answer seemed to reassure Mrs. Ji Er.
Qin Boyang is very dedicated to Ji Xiaoyun. Whether it is the few girls in the Qin family or the girls of the big and small who were married to the Ji family, they are all serious and never get close to each other.
Madam Cheng also told Mrs. Ji Er that once Ji Xiaoyun was not in the house, Qin Boyang came back from outside and a little girl brought tea to Qin Boyang. Ji Xiaoyun happened to be seen by her. Ji Xiaoyun also got angry and asked someone to beat the little girl, and then beat the little girl to the outer courtyard to be a rough messenger.
The little girl is only twelve or thirteen years old, and she is not very good-looking, just a little bit beautiful.
Ji Xiaoyun is actually a jealous person!
This surprised Mrs. Ji Er again.
As for Ji Xiaoyun's dowry, Wang and Qin Boyang's postures were very straightforward. Wang didn't mention this matter at all, and Qin Boyang...
"The girl once proposed to ask her son-in-law to help take care of her dowry, but she shook her head and refused. She said that the master and his wife had arranged the place, and he was not good at managing the business. She should concentrate on studying and earn an imperial decree for the girl."
After asking Madam Cheng, Mrs. Ji Er couldn't help but become confused.
Qin Boyang did a very perfect job in the things she was most worried about, which made her feel very relieved. She also felt that this son-in-law had a good character. However, Ji Xiaoyun's changes and the words she said...
"Can we be too worried? Xiaoyun's child..."
Ji Xiaoyun was taught by Mrs. Ji, and her temperament followed Mrs. Ji in many aspects.
"My sister himself can't say those words." Ji Xiaoyun said simply.
Qin Boyang is really reassuring and uneasy. Mrs. Ji sighed and was very entangled for a moment.
Madam Cheng wanted to speak but stopped, so she looked at Ji Xiaotang.
"Mom, now my brother-in-law is in Qingyuan, right under our noses. Even if he wants to do those things, can he do it successfully? As long as he is not a stupid person, he will definitely not show it." Ji Xiaotang said.
Madam Cheng nodded slightly.
"You mean, Xiaoyun is not married?" Mrs. Ji Er said.
Ji Xiaotang didn't speak, and Madam Cheng didn't speak.
"I just said, this marriage was too hasty!" Mrs. Ji Er sighed, but what's the use of saying this now? "What should I do?"
"Mom, don't worry. Dad should have known it in his heart for a long time." Ji Xiaotang said hurriedly, "As long as we keep our sister's family in Qingyuan and take care of our family, Qin Boyang is a wolf, and he has to pretend to be a sheep for the rest of his life."
But this is the case, the Ji family will have to work harder.
But for Ji Xiaoyun, Master Ji Er and Mrs. Ji Er are obviously not afraid of hard work.
"The girl also has some complaints to me, but she doesn't dare to say it out loud." Madam Cheng suddenly said again.
Ji Xiaotang was not surprised because Ji Xiaoyun was already complaining about Madam Cheng in front of her.
"She has such a temperament. Please don't take it to heart. We are all on the side of the nanny. Even though the nanny is as usual, there is no need to worry about her being happy or not." Ji Xiaotang said.
"It's right." Mrs. Ji Er was also a person who understood the truth and hurriedly said, "We remember all the efforts and hard work of the nanny. The nanny can protect Xiaoyun, and she is the great benefactor of our husband and wife."
Madam Cheng had no choice but to nod and agreed. When she agreed to marry Ji Xiaoyun, she actually expected this situation today. She worked hard and was not pleasing. Fortunately, the person who asked her was a wise man.
Mrs. Ji Er was about to leave Madam Cheng for dinner, Madam Cheng shook her head.
"Mrs. and the girl asked me to come back and talk. When I go back, the second girl is afraid that she will have something to say. I will go back earlier and save some trouble." Madam Cheng said.
Mrs. Ji Er was very despised and said a lot of gratitude, so she sent Madam Cheng back.
"Thanks to Madam Cheng," said Mrs. Ji Er.
Ji Xiaotang nodded. If it weren't for Madam Cheng, no one would have done such an errand. In fact, this errand was a dilemma for Madam Cheng.
In a blink of an eye, May is already the season of early summer. In the spring of the seventh year of Longqing, droughts were generally seen in various prefectures and counties in Ren'an Prefecture. The situation here in Qingyuan was slightly better, but only one rain came. However, even this rain could not truly alleviate the drought.
The people have already developed general anxiety. Because Ji Family farms have long dug deep wells without any money and manpower, the situation is worse than other farms, but they are far worse than in previous years.
Because of this, the Ji family was very busy and could not be affected by the anxiety of the people. Even the old lady Ji, who usually never asks about these things, heard the news and called Master Ji Er and Master Ji San to come over and ask if it had been a wasteland.
There are so many things to do, Ji Xiaoyun is not worried about it.
Ji Xiaoyun lived a good life. Wang was the most kind mother-in-law. Qin Boyang and Ji Xiaoyun were loving and respectful to their father-in-law and family, and obeyed their plans.
It should have been worry-free, but if Ji Xiaoyun hadn't come back and said, she would have gone to Huaiyuan.
Ji Xiaoyun didn't dare to tell Master Ji Er and Mrs. Ji Er that she came to the Ji family two days ago and said to Mrs. Ji privately. Of course, Mrs. Ji couldn't bear to leave her granddaughter, so she didn't nod. As a result, Ji Xiaoyun was very unhappy and shed tears in front of Mrs. Ji, and finally left in a bad mood.
Old Mrs. Ji couldn't hide his words in his heart. When Master Ji Er came to her to pay his respects, he told him about this matter. And Master Ji Er turned around and discussed this matter with Mrs. Ji Er, so naturally he didn't hide it from Ji Xiaotang.
"Or, ask your in-laws and Boyang to come and ask." Mrs. Ji Er said.
"Mom, don't." Ji Xiaotang said hurriedly, "It will be useless to ask them to come. Let's just take this as nothing and see how they are going."
"Well, you have to calm down first." Master Ji Er nodded.
At this moment, Master Ji San finally came back from the man who had beaten Huaiyuan. This time, he finally found useful news.
The Qin family lost all their property in Qinzhou and sold all their houses to pay off their debts. They had no choice but to return to their ancestral homes. After all, there are old houses to live in, and there are also a few acres of land left by their ancestors that were not allowed to buy or sell. There is always enough food and clothing.
However, it's just food and clothing.
"It turns out to be like this. Qin Boyang is so hiding it so tightly!" Master Ji Er was shocked.
