Chapter 111 Rhubarb's Gift
Ji Mansion, in the pavilion in the backyard garden.
Ji's mother knew that her son didn't like to eat in the room, saying that he was depressed and had no appetite.
As a result, the Ji family has an additional rule: the head of the family must eat outside when eating.
"Didn't I mention it just now? Why haven't you seen me yet?"
Mrs. Zhang looked at this sister speechlessly, and it took only a cup of tea. Your yard is so big, even walking through the door would take more than this time.
Just when Zhang was about to say something, she saw a yellow figure sneaking among the flowers.
He smiled and said, "Sister, look, isn't this your second son back?"
"Second child?" Mother Ji was stunned, but she soon understood.
It has indeed become a lot more fun since I have rhubarb at home.
Her son, who was originally reticent, became much more cheerful, which made Mother Ji treat Rhubarb better and better. He basically regarded it as a part of the family, which is why he was called the second eldest child in the family.
Following Zhang's gaze, she saw a touch of yellow among the flowers.
"Dahuang, you're back as soon as you come back. Why don't you dare to come out to see people?"
Seeing it, she was still unmoved. Mother Ji loudly said, "Can you get out?"
As if knowing that the mistress was going to be angry, she squeezed out of the shaking off the grass clippings on his body, he came to Mother Ji and put the rabbit down. He also pushed the rabbit towards Mother Ji with his front legs and showed a flattering look.
"Hey! Dahuang is still sensible. He brought me a gift when he went out?" Mother Ji said in surprise.
"Sister, look, this rabbit is still alive!" Ms. Zhang suddenly said.
"Let me see!"
Lifting the rabbit's ears and taking a look, sure enough, it was really alive.
He touched Dahuang's head and handed Dahuang a roast chicken on the table, letting him eat it by himself.
"mother!"
Mother Ji, who was teasing the rabbit, stiffened when she heard the sound, and dropped the rabbit in her hands. Just when it wanted to run away, it was immediately suppressed by a paw.
Ji Song saw his mother coming to him without thinking and knelt down and said, "The unfilial child has made my mother worried!"
"Quick, get up, what are you doing? How could mother blame you? The ground is cold, stop kneeling!"
When Mother Ji saw her son, she lost any resentment and quickly helped her son who was kneeling on the ground and said.
"Sister, why are you crying on this big day? Brother Song has just come back and is so dusty. Go wash up quickly!" Mrs. Zhang knew that Sister Ji's sister was crying with joy, but she still comforted her.
"Yes, yes, Hot Water Lady has already asked people to get ready. Go and wash up quickly. The food is being heated. Come over for dinner later!" Mother Ji also knew that she had lost her composure and said quickly.
"Okay, son, go now and come back to accompany your mother later!" Ji Song said with a smile.
Led by the maid, Ji Song came to the room, drove the maid out, and then he started to wash is not used to asking maids to help. How can the souls of future generations stand this?
An hour later, Ji Song, who was newly dressed, combed his hair with the help of the maid and left the room 's not that Ji Song doesn't want to do it by himself, but that he can't do it by himself with long hair, so he can only ask the maid to help.
This maid, who looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, was bought by her mother from among the refugees. She was named Xiaozhu by Mother Ji, and she was specifically asked to take care of her son.
After finishing packing, she put on the improved clothes that Mother Ji liked to see the most, and walked to the backyard Song, who had not eaten since morning, was already hungry.
When Ji Song reappeared in the backyard, everyone saw a handsome young nobleman. Ji's mother looked at her son's appearance and clothes, nodded repeatedly, and gave Ji Song a vague look that meant he was recognising.
A sky blue silk narrow-sleeved straight train, with a white dark coat underneath, and a blue embroidered border where it intersects, hammered down to the feet, with straight pants and black boots underneath.
But what is different from the current fashion is that the straight skirt is slit below the hips, and the hem just exposes the top of the feet without affecting the movement. It is covered with a sky blue cloak, and under the cloak is a strip embroidered with clouds. She wears a tattooed blue belt, and her hair is simply fixed on top of her head with hairpins.
Seeing the attention of everyone, Ji Song was also a little proud. He was full of capital in this world. Although he was not unparalleled in the world, he was still one of a million.
"Uncle Xie is here!" Ji Song was not surprised when he saw Xie Lian. The two families were well-connected and it was his duty to come back and inform Xie Lian. If he didn't go, there would be a problem.
"Your boy is famous now. He is a young talent, both civil and military, etc. I can almost hear you." Xie Lian said with a smile.
"Come on! You don't understand what I am like, Uncle Xie? Don't worry about what's going on outside, just take it as a joke." Ji Song shook his head and said.
"Hey! You don't care at all. This is not like a young man. However, I am not surprised at all that this happened to you!" Xie Lian sighed.
In Xie Lian's view, Ji Song has always been calm and does not think of a teenager at all. This may be related to the fact that he grew up alone.
According to his mother, he seemed very mature when he was a child. He always wanted to go in front of others and was not as naughty as his peers. He always stayed alone all day long. It became better after he got Rhubarb.
"Okay, I finally came back. What are you talking about? Eat quickly, it will get cold in a while. My sister made it with her own hands. It would be a pity not to eat it." Mrs. Zhang scolded.
"Okay, okay, let's eat!"
In fact, according to the current etiquette, men and women sit at different tables. However, since the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Hu Feng has gradually grown up, and other than some Shandong aristocratic families who have passed down their poetry and etiquette, no one else pays much attention to these rules.
Today, Ji Song's mother cooked all Ji Song's favorite foods. For a while, Ji Song's bowl was full of food brought by Zhang and Ji's mother.
While eating, Ji Song felt something was wrong. He looked around and said to Mrs. Zhang, "Auntie Xie! When I came back, I heard from the housekeeper that Miss Youning is also here. Why can't I see her?"
"Yes! You Ning came here with you. I've been here for a while. Where is she?" Xie Lian also asked in confusion.
Mrs. Zhang slapped her forehead and said in annoyance: "Look, I'm so busy right now. When I was cooking in the kitchen, that girl ran off somewhere. Didn't I forget all my busy work?"
"You guys eat first, I'll go take a look." After saying that, he got up and called Dahuang and left.
As soon as he walked out of the yard, he saw Zheng Li and asked, "Have you seen You Ning?"
"Huh? Miss Youning? I didn't see it!" Zheng Li replied in confusion.
Just when Ji Song was about to leave, Xiaozhu suddenly said: "I seemed to have seen it when I passed by the backyard just now."
"there?"
"It's right at the rockery in the backyard." Xiaozhu said quickly.
Ji Song didn't care about anything else, let Xiaozhu lead the way, and hurriedly walked that from Ji Song's understanding of Xiao Nizi, he didn't know how to cause trouble. If he was late, he didn't know how to prank himself! I'm not very good at writing emotional scenes, so please bear with me and write less in the future, these few chapters are too much
