Although the Ji family is not a famous family, it is also passed down from the family. Ji Yun's great-grandfather was a teacher and had many talents all over the world. His grandfather was loyal and honest, but his talents were limited and he was only a small official of the seventh rank. The glory of the Ji family today was achieved by Ji Yun's father Ji Chengxuan after decades of hard work. He is now the right prime minister of the Secretariat.

Ji Yun's elder brother Ji Zhen did not benefit from his father. He joined the army and joined the army as a young soldier. He has always been a commander of the Duwei Commander General; his second brother Ji Hong, Xiwen, was born in the rank of the magistrate of the Zhongji Palace. Although he was only a fifth-rank official, he was quite relied on by the emperor. His younger brother Ji Wei worked in business in Binyang, his hometown of the Ji family, and was rich in the country.

Song Ruoxi was surprised that Ji Wei was able to go to business. After reading historical books, he learned that Emperor Gaozu of the founding emperor of the Fujian Kingdom was a businessman. After the founding of the country, he greatly improved the status of a businessman. It was stipulated that except for the officials themselves, they should not go to business, they should not use their power for personal gain, and they should not oppose the officials' families to go to business. Of course, if the officials found clues about business, they would be punished severely, and the crime could be reached by the three tribes.

The Ji family had three heroes, with high status and great power, but the Ji family did not domineering because of this. Ji Chengxuan humbly rejected the official house given by the emperor. The family still lived in the house that Ji Chengxuan bought when he was a doctor in the Ministry of Justice. The first rule of the Ji family was that even if they were rich and noble, they would be thrifty and thrifty. If they were too extravagant, they would be punished by God.

"Go and tell the old lady, second aunt, second aunt and cousin, cousin is here!" The doorman standing at the door, seeing the Song family's carriage from afar, shouted excitedly inside.

When the carriage stopped at the door, before Ji Yun got off the car, he heard an old voice shouting: "Yun'er!"

Hearing his mother's voice, Ji Yun opened the car door excitedly, and without waiting for the old lady to help her, she jumped down. Her movements were quick and quick, which scared everyone. Is this still the elegant and dignified wife?

"Mom, my daughter is back!" Ji Yun walked quickly to Mrs. Ji, bent her knees and knelt down.

Mrs. Ji held Ji Yun with her hand, pulled her up, hugged her in her arms, and clenched her fists on her back, "You bad girl, you bad girl. After so many years, I have been suffering for my mother!"

"Son-in-law pays homage to my mother-in-law." Song Sui was about to kneel down, but he had already supported Ji Zhen, who had come out behind Mrs. Ji.

Song Ruoxi saw a middle-aged scholar walking out from inside, and two middle-aged women with joyful faces. Behind the middle-aged woman was a young woman and three young men. Song Ruoxi recognized that one of them was Ji Yunxiang whom he met in Qingzhu Garden that day. The last one came out was an old man wearing a blue-clothed straight cotton robe. He was Ji Yun's father Ji Chengxuan.

Ji Chengxuan stood at the door and coughed twice. Looking at his little daughter who had not seen for several years, there was tears in his eyes, but he said, "I am all mothers, and I still act coquettishly and cry, and I am not afraid of the children watching jokes."

Ji Yun sniffed and asked with tears in her eyes: "Dad, you have always been good?"

"Okay." Ji Chengxuan's expression was not very natural.

"Son-in-law pays homage to my father-in-law." Song Sui's kneeling greeting was stopped by Ji Zhen again.

"We went over and salute to our grandfather." Song Lian whispered, then took the lead and walked over.

"Okay, go in, don't stand at this door." Before the brother and sister came over to salute, Ji Chengxuan said, turned around and walked in. While no one was paying attention, he raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

It was hard to speak when standing at the door. Everyone came in and sat down in the main hall. Song Sui and his wife and children knelt down to the two elders to give a big gift.

Song Lian led his younger brother and sister to salute to his two uncles and aunts, and to his cousin's sister-in-law Jiang and his three cousins. Ji Zhen's eldest son Ji Yunqi is in Huxiao Camp, and at home is Ji Zhen's second son Ji Yunxiang, Ji Hong's eldest son Ji Yunzhen and Ji Yunli.

After the salute, Mrs. Ji's eyes fell on the three sisters of Song Ruoxi. When she saw Song Ruochi and Song Ruojuan, a gleam flashed in her slightly narrowed eyes. Five brothers and sisters were living a bad life just because of the little daughter. Fortunately, they were all concubines, so they just needed to get married with a dowry. She waved and smiled: "The old lady has a bad look. Xier Chier Juan'er comes over and let the old lady take a closer look."

Sisters of Song Ruoxi walked over. Mrs. Ji held Song Ruoxi's little hand tightly with her left hand, and first pulled Song Ruochi with her right hand, squinted her eyes and nodded, "It's a clean child." Let go of her, then pulled Song Ruojuan and smiled, "It's a well-behaved girl."

Ji Yun deliberately brought Song Ruochi and Song Ruojuan here. Five years ago, she could have been on the pretext that her concubine was young, but now she has grown up. Old Mrs. Song is strict with others and lenient with her. During the holidays, Ji Yun doesn't want to argue with her. Besides, Song Ruochi and Song Ruojuan have performed well these days, so she took her out to walk around.

It was a matter of shame for Mrs. Ji to show her kindness to the two concubines of the Song family. After all, they were also called Ji Yun's mother, but what they really care about was Song Ruoxi, the granddaughter of her relative. After careful examination from top to bottom, she had not seen her for five years. She looked even more beautiful in her younger granddaughter. She smiled and sighed: "Xi'er has grown a lot, and her body looks much stronger than when she was a child."

Ji Chengxuan only had Mrs. Ji's wife, and she had three sons and two daughters. The three sons gave birth to two boys. The eldest daughter Ji Qiang gave birth to four boys. Only Ji Yun gave birth to one daughter. However, Song Ruoxi had been sick every few days since childhood, which made the Ji family very worried. For this granddaughter, she broke the family rules several times and raised them carefully and coaxed them, for fear that she would die young.

"I received a letter from my younger sister that year, saying that Xi'er was almost gone, but I was frightened." Mrs. Ji Er walked over and touched Song Ruoxi's double buns intimately, "Thanks to the blessing of the Bodhisattva, our Xi'er is safe and sound."

"When it comes to what happened that day, I am still scared. If Xi'er had gone that way, I would not have lived." Ji Yun said with tears.

"Our Xiaoxi, if we survive a disaster, we will have good fortune." Mrs. Ji looked at Song Ruoxi with a loving smile.

Song Ruoxi smiled bitterly. It was not that I survived the disaster, but that I had died.

Song Ruojuan stood aside, lowered her head, her eyes flashed, and she kept twisting the silk squid in her hand.

"Sister Xi'er is a lucky person. After this disaster, everything will go smoothly in the future." Jiang said intriguingly.

On the other hand, Ji Chengxuan asked Song Sui about his tenure, called Song Huai, who was like a little adult, and tested his knowledge. He memorized several articles well, nodded slightly, and said, "Huai'er, the title is, 'Clever words and despicable words are rare.' Give you three days."

"Old man, it's almost the Chinese New Year. How can you keep your child at home?" Mrs. Ji was holding Song Ruoxi in her arms and asked her what she liked to eat. Suddenly, she heard Ji Chengxuan's words and hurried to help her grandson escape.

"Grandma, Huai'er has always been looking forward to listening to her grandfather's teachings. Huai'er is unwilling to go out to play. Huai'er wants to stay at home and write articles for her grandfather to read." Song Huai said.

"Okay, the old lady didn't get it well." Old Lady Ji pouted and pretended to be pitiful as she was hit.

"Huai'er knew that her grandmother felt sorry for Huai'er and couldn't bear to bear to work hard on Huai'er, but Huai'er had grown up. Huai'er had to be as capable as her brothers so that she could protect her mother and sister in the future." Song Huai said with a serious expression.

Mrs. Ji squinted her eyes and smiled, "Our little Huai'er has grown up and knows how to be ambitious and no longer naughty and erratic. Grandma is very happy."

Mrs. Ji's second wife and Mrs. Jiang praised Song Huai again.

"Xi'er." Ji Chengxuan shouted, stroking his beard.

"Here! Ouch." Song Ruoxi heard her call, standing too fast and too hard, and was not careful that her hair hanged on the buttons of Mrs. Ji's clothes, and hurt her scalp.

"Old man, why are you calling me blindly? I'll fight you with you!" Mrs. Ji glared at Ji Chengxuan unhappily, turned her head and comforted Song Ruoxi with a soft voice, "We Xi'er is not afraid. With grandma here, we are not afraid of what kind of right prime minister he is."

Seeing Ji Chengxuan's face was embarrassed, everyone covered their mouths and smirked.

"Grandpa, what's wrong with your name Xi'er?" Song Ruoxi blinked and asked timidly.

"Xi'er, although my daughter doesn't have to be a talented woman with great knowledge, she also needs to be well-educated and knowledgeable, and she knows the words and words. Grandpa has a first couplet here. How about you?" Ji Chengxuan asked in a soft voice.

"Please go out of the first couplet." Song Ruoxi was held by Mrs. Ji, and could not walk over, so she had to stand beside Mrs. Ji.

"The chicken covers the chicken, the chicken covers the chicken, the chicken covers the chicken, the chicken flies."

Song Ruoxi pondered for a moment and said loudly: "Horse cage, horse, horse cage, pine, horse cage, horse cage, horses go."

Ji Chengxuan nodded slightly with a smile, and then wrote another couplet, "Be busy for fame, be busy for profit, take a break from your busy schedule, and drink a cup of tea!"

"If you work hard, you will find joy in your hardships and bring a pot of wine."

"Hey, old man, you only say one couplet, and you have to do two couplets. If you don't keep your word, you will be fat when you break your word!" Mrs. Ji touched Song Ruoxi's hand and was cold. She was worried that she was weak and could not bear to let her worry too much.

"I will give you another couplet." Ji Chengxuan understood the look of Mrs. Ji, and knew that her granddaughter's body was still not well-behaved, and she smiled, "This couplet is OK, Xi'er, you brothers and sisters, you can also be OK, but whoever matches it first will be rewarded. The granddaughter-in-law can also be OK."

The juniors responded in unison.

"Smile in the past and the present, smile in the east and west, smile in the south and north, smile in the laughter, laughing at myself as if I was ignorant."

"Ha, so you know that you are ignorant! Then what are you doing with the children?" Mrs. Ji joked.

Ji Chengxuan raised his eyebrows, brought a cup of tea, and was generous and did not bother with his old wife.

"Observe things, things, heaven and earth, sun and moon, top and bottom, and others always have highs and lows." Song Lian responded.

"Okay, okay, I'll give you that picture of "Two Birds Playing with Rabbits".

"Thank you grandpa." Song Lian was happy.

"Unfair, old man is unfair. My Xier has two couplets together and I didn't get anything." Mrs. Ji winked at Song Ruoxi and looked like she was whispering, "Don't worry Xier, grandma will definitely help you get all your grandfather's treasures for you."

Song Ruoxi couldn't help laughing and chuckled. Song Ruochi and Song Ruojuan looked envious. How good would it be for them to have such kind grandfathers and grandmothers?

"Xi'er, can you play the piano?" Ji Chengxuan asked.

"Xi'er can't play the piano, but Xi'er can play the flute." Song Ruoxi blinked his eyes. Is he going to give her musical instruments?

"Grandpa gave you a jasper flute, okay?"

"Thank you grandpa." Song Ruoxi smiled. Although she had a white jade flute, it would be nothing wrong with one more flute.

"Okay, okay, old man, hurry up and take your son-in-law to the study to play chess!" Mrs. Ji drove the people, "Everyone is so detained here."

Ji Chengxuan took his son-in-law Song Sui to the study to play chess. Ji Zhen and Ji Hong were then driven out. Then the younger generation asked Jiang to take him to the warm room. Mrs. Ji and the second wife also tactfully said that they would go to the kitchen to have a look and asked Mrs. Ji to talk to Ji Yun.

Jiang sent his brothers and sisters into the warm room and arranged for the maid to prepare refreshments.

Ji Yunli couldn't wait to say: "There are many people today, let's play horses."

"I don't know." Song Ruoxi Road.

"I can't either." Song Ruochi and Song Ruojuan spoke in unison.

Ji Yunli curled her lips contemptuously, "Girls are stupid, they can't even beat horses."

Song Ruoxi is not a feminist. She smiled indifferently at Ji Yunli's gender discrimination and sat by the warm fire and went to the fire.

Song Ruoxi may not care, but Song Huai, a boy who is so arrogant, cares very much, "You are stupid, you can't do what a girl can do."

"What can I do? You say the same thing, I'll listen." Ji Yunli was dissatisfied. Wu learned from his uncle and Wen learned from his father. He was a man of both civil and military affairs.

"Sewing."

"The sewing clothes are female workers, of course, girls can do it. I am a man, so there is nothing strange about how I can't do it." Ji Yunli said with great sincerity.

Song Huai rolled his eyes and said, "My uncle can do it, isn't his uncle a woman?"

The two cousins ​​are at the same age. They have been biting each other with their small baby teeth since nine months. They can talk and start to quarrel. They haven't seen each other for five years, and they have met again after they meet.

But Song Ruoxi didn't know that, and saw the two of them having a dispute, they wanted to persuade them. But they saw that Song Lian and the others didn't care. They sat aside and showed their expressions of watching the fun. After a smile, they looked lively.

"I...I will go to study tomorrow." Ji Yunli said with her neck.

"I can teach my sister to play horses now. My sister is extremely smart and can be taught once. How long will it take to learn sewing clothes?" Song Huai looked at Ji Yunli provocatively.

Ji Yunli looked at Ji Yunzhen and asked for help from her brother.

Ji Yunzhen frowned and thought for a while, "It will take at least ten days and half a month."

"My sister will know it once she teaches you. You have to learn at least ten days and half a month. Who is stupid?" Song Huai took advantage of the victory to pursue him.

"Huai'er, don't be rude." Song Lian persuaded him with a smile.

"I'm stupid." Ji Yunli lost the bickering, and admitted it readily. She walked to Song Ruoxi and bowed, "Cousin Xi, I said the wrong thing, don't be angry."

Song Ruoxi stood up and smiled and said, "I'm not angry."

"Cousin Xi, I will teach you how to beat a horse." Seeing that Song Ruoxi was not angry, Ji Yunli said happily.

"I will teach my sister how to beat horses, you don't need to teach me." Song Huai also walked over.
