Knowing that his parents were busy now, Xu Jin held his younger brother and played in the pavilion. When he was tired of playing, he took his younger brother back to the house to sleep together. This time he slept until dusk.

"Girl, the supper is ready, and the lady calls the girl and the young master to come over and have a meal."

Baozhu walked in with a basin of water.

Xu Jin stretched out, washed his face and woke up his younger brother. Then he hugged Brother Xi, who was reluctant to go down to the front yard.

"Mom, have you arranged it all?"

Xu Jin sat down with his younger brother in his arms. Seeing that his mother was about to pick her up, she refused considerately and smiled and said, "Mom has been tired for a day. I'll feed my younger brother tonight."

My daughter is so sensible. Jiang felt that her shoulders were not so sore. She looked at her husband and asked her daughter: "Have you seen this place?

How do you think?”

Xu Jin nodded, scooped a spoonful of soup and fed it to his younger brother, and said while feeding it: "I think it's pretty good, what do you think of it?"

Jiang was relieved and explained to his daughter: "Your father and I think it's good. Since you agree, let's buy it here.

By the way, our new neighbors have sent a post before, saying that we should go to their two families when we have time.

Both families have girls who are about the same age as you, this time you don’t have to worry about losing your companionship.

Okay, let’s have a meal first, tomorrow morning my mom will tell you who these two families are.”

Xu Jin was very excited to meet his new partner so soon. He ran to his parents' room early the next morning and asked.

Xu You had already gotten out, so Jiang started talking to his daughter while combing his hair.

The street they live in now is called Liuyin Lane, and most of the people living on the street are from officials.

Among them, the neighbor of the Xu family is the Zheng family. Master Zheng is the chief minister of the Prince Jing's mansion, and his official position is the fifth rank.

On the right is the Censor Meng's family of the Censorate, who is in the fourth rank. In addition, Censor Meng is not very proud of it, so he is considered a celebrity in the court.

Qi Jing's father Qi Yan had just been promoted to the left minister of the Ministry of Revenue and was a third-rank official.

From Mr. Qi to Qi Yan, Xu Jin has been used to dealing with Mr. Guan since childhood. Therefore, even though her father is just a juren at present, she does not feel any distance from her neighbors.

"Mom, then when will we go there?"

She asked curiously.

"Tomorrow, let your father complete all the land deeds and household registration in the house today, and then we will be real neighbors.

By the way, be honest at home and don’t yell and let people hear jokes.”

Jiang combed his hair, got up, and instructed seriously.

"What do you think of me as?

I've grown up long ago."

Xu Jin was very dissatisfied with his mother's suspicion and pretended to be angry and went to coax his younger brother.

After a while, she couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Mom, then, when will we go to visit Grandma Qi?"

She wanted to know where Qi Jing lives.

When she was at home, she felt very satisfied that she could come to Beijing with Qi Jing, but now she felt that she was far away from Qi Jing.

Jiang touched his daughter's head helplessly: "Mom can go over, your grandmother Qi and Aunt Xiao can also bring Vivi to our house as a guest, but you have a marriage with Qi Jing and you can't go to their house before getting married."

After saying that, she sighed secretly. The Qi family was scheduled to be hired in May next year, and even if they wanted their daughter to marry at the age of fourteen, she and her husband were reluctant to leave, thinking that they would keep their daughter until they were fifteen. But now it seems that the daughter is afraid that she would want to marry sooner.

Xu Jin suddenly lost his energy.

Jiang pinched her little face and comforted her: "Okay, I used to know how to hide it in front of my mother, but now my face is getting thicker and thicker.

Let's go, today my mother will take you out for a walk and add you some new clothes and jewelry."

Of course there are many other things to buy.

The little girls love to dress up, and the temptation of shopping and adding clothes and jewelry finally diluted Xu Jin's loss.

When Xu You took care of everything and returned home at noon, the three of them had not yet come back. Xu You shook his head and smiled bitterly, always feeling that his daughter's personality was actually the same as his wife. He looked dignified, but he was still rebellious in his bones and often did whatever he wanted.

But as long as they are happy, he is willing to indulge them.

In the afternoon, the mother and daughter returned home with a full load. In addition to the small items in the two carriages, the shopkeeper later brought large pieces of furniture.

Xu You held his son and watched his wife and daughter discussing which piece of furniture to place, and which room should the Ru kiln vase be placed. When he thought that the more than 1,000 taels of silver he bought in the house were paid by his wife, he suddenly eager to gain power.

Only with power can you have money and support them...

When the Xu family was busy buying a new home, the old man Qi almost vomited blood by the eldest grandson. After he was defeated unwillingly, the old lady Qi entered the house again and said to Qi Jing with kind words: "Ajing, don't be ignorant. The Lu family is your uncle's house. You have lived outside for so many years and finally came back. How can you not go over and take a look?"

"They have been ignoring me for so many years. Why do I treat them as relatives?"

Qi Jing found a high-sounding excuse, followed him out, and went to the door and turned to Old Mrs. Qi and said, "Grandma, in my eyes, there are only two elders, you and grandfather. I will be filial to you. I don't care about others, including my father.

I rely on my own abilities to get a job and earn an official position. If I don’t rely on others, they don’t want to rely on me.”

Those miscellaneous relatives were all original, and he was too lazy to deal with them.

When he has an official position in the future, he will move out immediately and live with her only. No one will want to trouble him by the name of his relatives.

.

The Zheng Changshi family first sent a post to the Xu family, so Jiang was going to visit the Zheng family first.

Xu Jin wore a light purple printed trouser, and led Brother Xi, who was wearing a royal blue jacket, to follow his mother and excitedly went to visit.

Mrs. Zheng brought three daughters to receive them. Among them, Zheng Anan, who is only one year older than Xu Jin, is Mrs. Zheng's biological child. The other two who are slightly restrained are from the Zheng family's concubines.

Zheng De, the eldest son of the Zheng family, has been with King Jing since childhood, and has less time at home than Lord Zheng.

Xu Jin couldn't help but observe Mrs. Zheng for a few more glances.

She is older than her mother, with a slightly plump figure, a rosy complexion, and when she doesn't smile, the corners of her lips are slightly raised, looking kind and friendly.

It has only been a lot of effort since entering the mansion. In Mrs. Zheng's smile, Xu Jin was no longer a little nervous when he came, and only felt that the two families seemed to be old friends.

In the neighborhoods where the Xu family in Donghu Town usually walks around, there are few concubines at home. There are only two or three families. The housewife has a smile between her eyebrows and eyes that cannot be concealed.

It can be said that Mrs. Zheng was the first wife Xu Jin saw who seemed to care whether her husband took a concubine.

Xu Jin thought of Aunt Cui.

The mother said that if Aunt Cui had not been pregnant, she might have survived that level. It was because of the sudden blow that caused a huge fetal aura that caused her to die of labor.

But my mother also said that even if Aunt Cui is alive, she will definitely not love to laugh as much as before.

At that time, Xu Jin had some understanding of feelings. She understood what her mother said. No matter who she was, how could she be happy if the person she liked still liked others?

At that time, Xu Jin hated Uncle Cui, who had killed Aunt Cui's mother. When she went to Cui's house to pay condolences, she was ready to stop calling him uncle again.

But when she saw the man who seemed to have suddenly become teenagers and saw him crying in a daze at the coffin, she felt that this person actually cared about Aunt Cui.

Later, Cui Xiao also told her that Uncle Cui really regretted it very much. He often locked up in the house alone without eating or drinking. In the end, Brother Cui couldn't stand it and sent the person outside to do business.

That was their father. Even if they could not forgive his mistakes, they could not watch him live bored and blame himself. They would find something for him to do. If they didn't meet each other, they would not be resentful.

"A Jin, why are you dazed there?

Let's go to the backyard to play."

The lively and smiling voice was approaching in front of him. Xu Jin came back to his senses and saw Zheng Anan standing in front of him, holding Brother Xi in his arms and calling her.

Brother Xi obediently asked his new sister to hold her, staring at her earrings with big eyes.

Xu Jin quickly stood up, "Okay, but let me hug Brother Xi, this kid is so naughty..."

Zheng Anan smiled and avoided her, flew with a look and signaled Xu Jin to walk out with her: "No, I like Brother Xi, I just want to hug him. Besides, Brother Xi is so obedient, right?"

"Brother Xi'er be good."

Brother Xi tilted his head and leaned on her shoulder, looking at his sister with a smile.

Xu Jin saw it and thought that he would ignore him when he got home. He asked him to act coquettishly and please everyone, but he quickly followed him, for fear that Zheng Anan would not hold his brother and fell.

The girls left, and Mrs. Zheng smiled and said to Jiang, "Now, the child Anan finally has a companion. Usually, she always thinks that the sisters at home can't play with her.

Even An An was spoiled by my father and I, and I didn’t know if A Jin could bear her temper.

It’s better to be A Jin, he is quite steady at a young age.”

Jiang couldn't help laughing when his daughter was praised for being sensible, "I should say this to my wife. A Jin looked honest, but she was actually very naughty. I was worried that An An would be ruined by her."

"real?

I didn't see it."

Mrs. Zheng was slightly surprised and smiled and said, "That happens, the two of them have similar interests, and it's just fun.

By the way, I am older than you. If you don’t dislike me, just call me Sister Wang. The lady is so handsome.

It is said that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. It is fate that we can live together, and it is even more rare to have a close relationship with each other. If you need help in the future, let’s support each other.”

She was polite, but she was also a little sincere.

Yesterday I heard that my new neighbor was moved from a town other than the town. The headmaster was just a juren. She thought the Xu family was just rich. She didn't expect that when she saw this juren lady today, she was so smart that she was not inferior to those official wives in dressing, dressing, speaking and speaking.

Think about it, can the relatives of the old couple of the Qi family personally choose for the eldest grandson?
