    The whole family knew that the Ji Wu family loved her.

    When she was a child, she was playing in her second cousin¡¯s study and fell in love with a piece of his favorite Duan Inkstone, so she insisted on moving it back. Her second cousin gave in to her in everything, but this Duan Inkstone refused to give in.  She turned around and told Mrs. Ji Wu. After hearing this, Mrs. Ji Wu said nothing and asked her second cousin to send the Duan Inkstone to her study. She also ordered her servants to find two good Duan Inkstones in the warehouse and send them over.

    The Duan Inkstone was originally given by my second cousin, Mr. Kai Meng, who regarded it as a treasure. That day, he stood alone in the study room facing the clumps of green bamboos for a long time, silently.  Jin Chao didn't like the inkstone very much, she just liked the sika deer carved on it. After playing with it for a few days, it was thrown into the corner of the study to get moldy, and she could never find it again.

    After this incident, the maids of the Ji family also realized that even the legitimate son of the Ji family could not compete with Jin Chao. Who else in the entire Ji family could be more favored by Mrs. Gu Jinchao!  She was even more spoiled by these people below.

    After seeing Qidongpan, a large group of people surrounded Ji Wu and went to the Shexian Tower in the outer courtyard. This is where Ji Wu met shopkeepers and farm stewards. Her uncle and others had been waiting here for a long time.  Got it.  The Ji family only had one legitimate son and one bastard, and the Jin Dynasty also had two aunts who were already married. However, they both married far away and could not return to Yanjing for several years.

    The eldest uncle and aunt had a son. The eldest son of a concubine died when he was young. The eldest son is his second cousin Ji Yao, and his concubine is his third cousin Ji Yun. His concubine has a daughter.  Get married.  The second uncle and second aunt gave birth to a fourth cousin, Ji Can, and two unmarried daughters, both of whom were born from concubines.  Aunt Yun has not given birth to a son or a half, and her status in the Ji family is not high.

    Jin Chao also happened to take out the things he brought at this time, including gifts for each room, a longevity golden lock for his eldest nephew, and a candy box for his grandmother.  When her grandmother saw her taking out several boxes of candies in black paint boxes, she laughed at her: "Remember, I still eat candies, but I brought so many. I am old and can't eat them!"

    Jin Chao smiled and held her hand and said: "How come you are old, your hair is still black and shiny, and you are in better spirits than me!"

    Gu Jinrong also saluted his two uncles and cousins ??one by one.

    Ji Yao is the eldest son of the Ji family. He is dressed in a crescent white muslin straight jacket and has a jade and flute hairpin in his hair. He has a handsome face and a tall figure.

    Ji Wu and Jin Chao said to Ji Yao: "Now he is learning housekeeping from me, and he learns quickly. The restaurant in Baodi is run by him. The business is booming, and he also has a lot of signature dishes. If you want  Go try it and let him take you there!"

    Ji Yao smiled lightly and handed her over: "I haven't seen my cousin for a long time."

    Gu Jinchao also smiled at him, but she was surprised in her heart. In her impression, she always felt that her second cousin's hobby was reading, not doing business.  He has the gentle and calm temperament of a scholar.  However, he is the eldest son of the Ji family, and he is not allowed to choose what he likes.

    The uncle is tall and has a calm face. He is now in his forties.  Asked about Gu Jinrong's homework.

    Gu Jinrong replied: "I didn't study in the Imperial College, but studied with Mr. Zhou in Qifang Hutong. I have finished teaching "The Great Learning" and "The Doctrine of the Mean", and now I am teaching "The Analects of Confucius."" Speaking of studying and making a career,  Gu Jinrong was much more cautious. After all, his uncle had won the imperial examination. He would also participate in the Qiu Wei in three years, but he didn't have much confidence in his heart.

    The uncle nodded and said: "You are still young, so it doesn't matter if you fail once. Your third cousin is working as a shadow prisoner in the Imperial College"

    The eldest aunt smiled and said: "Now you are in prison!"

    That means you passed the provincial examination and passed the examination!  Jin Chao was also very happy when she heard this. She only vaguely remembered that Ji Yun had passed the examination and later participated in the imperial examination, but was not promoted to a commoner, so forget it.  But I can¡¯t remember exactly what time it was. I didn¡¯t expect it to be so early.

    Ji Yun, who was standing aside, just smiled. He was very calm.

    Gu Jinrong congratulated: "I haven't heard from my third cousin yet! It's really not easy for a young person to be promoted!"

    He studied by himself, so of course he knew how difficult it was to win the exam, not to mention that Ji Yun was not yet twenty years old.

    Fourth cousin Ji Can also smiled and said: "I can't hope to pass the provincial examination. It depends on the third brother to study and develop a career in the family. People are very happy when they pass the exam and publicize it everywhere. But the third brother is strange. Now he can't even  I don¡¯t even want to leave the door.¡±

    Jin Chao also felt happy. Regardless of whether his third cousin could become a Jinshi in the future, it would be good for the Ji family to have multiple candidates.  He took his grandmother's hand and asked her, "Why didn't you tell me in a letter?"

    Grandma smiled: "Autumn is just in the middle of this year. I thought I would tell you after the New Year"

    ? ??Ms. Wu was also very happy. It had been many years since the Ji family had a person who was talented in reading.  If Ji Yun can pass the imperial examination, participate in the palace examination, and win the Jinshi in the future, then the glory and prominence of the Ji family will probably be unprecedented!

    Gu Jinrong looked at Ji Yun with a bit of admiration and asked him: "Then I can come to my third cousin to discuss the craftsmanship in the future?"

    Ji Yun nodded: "Of course you are welcome!"

    After meeting at Shexian Tower, Gu Jinrong followed Ji Yun and Ji Can to the study room to discuss craftsmanship with Ji Yun. Gu Jinchao naturally liked that he had more contact with people from the Ji family, at least it was much better than with Gu Lan.

    Ji Wu returned to Qidongpan with her.

    Grandma was very worried about her mother's illness, but the Ji family had heavy affairs and she couldn't get away from it. She still visited her mother once six months ago.

    Jin Chao could only tell her that everything was fine, but she didn't dare to tell her grandmother about her mother's last illness, for fear of worrying her.

    Ji Wu held her hand and said to her: "Sister Chao, my grandma hasn't seen you for half a year, but I feel that you have become a lot more sensible"

    She felt very melancholy. If nothing external happened to change her, how could Gu Jinchao suddenly become sensible?  She thought it was Ji's illness that made Jin Chao sad.

    Gu Jinchao naturally knew what his grandmother was thinking, but he was laughing at himself. It would be great if his mother's illness really made her realize something.

    Although her grandmother looked stern, she was extremely gentle to her.  She just prefers to pamper herself, without any purpose or any reason.

    Such a preference, no matter in the past life or in this life, Jin Dynasty only has this grandmother.

    Mother Song brought up a plate of lotus root powder sugar cake that Jin Chao loved to eat. When she saw Mrs. Ji Wu holding Jin Chao's hand by the fire and talking, she smiled and said, "My cousin should come back more often. When you come back, Mrs. Song will smile."  Gotta get more.¡±

    Mother Song was Ji Wu¡¯s dowry girl, and she has been with her for more than fifty years. She is the most respected person in Ji Wu¡¯s family.

    Grandma also said with a smile: "You don't come back often! I raised a pond of water lilies for you not long ago. I thought you would come here to escape the heat in the summer, but who knew that after the water lilies bloomed, the leaves would all wither.  , you haven¡¯t come back yet.¡±

    Jin Chao likes to enjoy water lilies, and lavender and orange are her favorite.

    Jin Chao could only smile bitterly. She didn't know that her grandmother raised water lilies for her.

    It¡¯s just that she came back this time not just to see her grandmothershe also wanted to find out about Yun Xiang¡¯s niece.

    Jin Chao then asked about Aunt Yun.

    Ji Wu frowned and said: "Your second uncle's aunt I don't really care. Last year, your second uncle took in Wanyun, the girl next to your second aunt, and the aunts in those houses didn't move around much. Why did you suddenly  Asked about her?"

    Jin Chao said calmly: "My mother is ill at home, and Aunt Guo and Aunt Du are old and frail. It's all because Aunt Song is serving her father. In addition to serving her father, she also takes care of her mother's illness and manages the affairs of the inner courtyard.  I'm afraid she'll be too busy. I want to find another aunt for my father."

    Ji Wu tightened her grip on Jin Chao's hand.  His face also became serious.

    "I didn't plan for such a thing earlier! You just told me now!"

    Gu Jinchao smiled: "It turns out that mother has never agreed We haven't even asked father yet, we want to find a suitable person to take back."

    Grandma looked at her for a long time, and Jin Chao did not explain. Grandma was so smart that she would naturally understand what she meant.

    My father was appointed as a doctor in the Ministry of Household Affairs, in charge of Siyu, and was in charge of military reserves, cashiers and taxes, grain and warehouse affairs.  Lin Xianzhong, the left minister of the Ministry of Finance, was his teacher. Over the years, Lin Xianzhong had become more favored by the saints, and he had become good friends with Fan Chuan, the assistant minister of the cabinet, Dongge University scholar. It was the time for Lin Xianzhong to be promoted. Once he was promoted,  , the father must also have many benefits. At this juncture, the father will not take a concubine casually.

    "But if he doesn't take concubines and lets Aunt Song continue to be so favored, sooner or later she will be pregnant with a bastard.  Half a year after her mother died in her previous life, Aunt Song gave birth to a bastard son and was raised as a stepmother.  But the child was born prematurely by more than a month. If the father did not take a concubine, Aunt Song would be pregnant in about half a month!  At that time, who can stop her from becoming the wife of the Gu family!

    Therefore, this matter cannot be delayed any longer. It must be completed within this half month.

    Grandma thought for a long time, and when she seemed to have made up her mind, she asked: "It's not difficult to find an innocent and obedient girl. I have many pretty girls here. Why are you asking about Aunt Yun again?"

    Ji Wu really understood what Jin Chao was thinking and what kind of stepmother she wanted to find for her father.

    Jin Chao smiled slightly. If others heard this, they would definitely look at her strangely, but grandma would not.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Address: www.hlnovel.com
