Chapter 226 A quick glance
"Your third uncle?"
Qi Min shook her head, "I don't know this. I have been taking care of my children at home in the past two years, and I rarely go out. I have never heard from my parents when I go back to my parents' home to visit relatives."
The Zhongyong Bo Mansion in the capital had a dispute with the Qi family, and from time to time he would send people to lobby. The prefect of Qi and his wife were very upset. They had no time to care about anything other than what they were within their responsibilities.
"But you are back now, and you probably have to live for a year or two. With the status of Duke Anguo Mansion, you only need to give me an order, what else can I find out?"
That's right.
Although Duke An Guo did not have real power in Songyang, his identity was there, which still had an absolute deterrence to local officials.
Ji Wan smiled, "I'm just asking casually."
In fact, no matter how much Ji Yuan jumps around, with her current status, there is no need to worry about it. But Ji Yuan is a complete group for the king. If such a person is developed, it will definitely be a disaster.
Qi Min stayed Ji Wan after lunch in the mansion before sending someone to take her out. The next day, she went to Deng County again.
After two years of separation, Dengxian has not changed much. However, the front line is fighting, and the people are somewhat nervous, and the streets are not as lively as usual.
The house in Dengxian was not sold at that time, so I temporarily gave it to Ji Hai's family to live there. Although there is a place to live in the hot pot restaurant, Hu Cui gave birth to a child and is now pregnant with a second child. The store is too noisy and is not suitable for pregnancy. There are enough staff and managers in the store, so Ji Hai and his son don't have to stay from morning to night every day.
But Zhou's house was too big and needed someone to clean it up, so I bought a few servants.
The concierge did not know Ji Wan, but when he saw the luxurious carriage parked at the door, he knew that he was a noble man.
Zeng Ting stepped forward and said, "I'm sorry to go in and report it, and I'll say Miss Wan is back to visit relatives."
Ji Wan didn't want to be too high-profile, so she didn't have to show off her wife's poem.
The concierge did not dare to be careless and hurried in to report.
Ji Hai and his son stay in hot pot restaurants during the day, and Miao occasionally returns to Yi Village to inspect the fields, check out vegetables, fruits, fish ponds, etc.
At this time, there were only two sisters Hu Cui and Ji Xiang and Ji Lan left at home. After hearing the doorman’s report, Hu Cui was stunned at first, and it took a long time to come back to her senses.
"Awan is back?"
She showed surprise on her face and immediately stood up, "Axiang, please help me watch Fan'er, Alan, follow me to welcome Awan."
"Um."
The sisters were also happy.
Now that there are internal and external troubles, the correspondence has lasted longer than usual, Ji Wan did not write a letter in advance to tell her uncle that she was coming back, so Hu Cui was so shocked.
"By the way, go to the hot pot restaurant and ask the master and the two young masters to come back."
"yes."
Hu Cui is now erecting her big belly, Ji Lan carefully supports her and walks out. The two of them are walking fast and they will soon arrive at the gate.
Ji Wan has already got off the carriage.
Her wealth and honor are hard to hide, and her outstanding appearance makes her neighbors and passers-by look at each other.
Hu Cui looked out of the door with one foot and looked dazed for a moment. The beautiful, unparalleled and noble young woman in front of her was very different from the good sister she remembered. She was a little afraid to recognize her.
Ji Lan shouted happily: "Sister Wan."
She let go of her sister-in-law's arm and ran over like a rush.
The ten-year-old girl is still a half-aged child, simple-minded and has no adult concerns. When she saw her cousin who had been away for two years, she forgot all the etiquette.
Hu Cui didn't even have time to stop her, so she had already run to Ji Wan.
"Sister Wan, when did you come back? I miss you so much. Where are the second aunt and Arong and Aheng? Are they back too?"
Ji Wan reached out and pointed her nose, "Who did you ask so many questions in one breath, which one do you want me to answer first?"
Ji Lan is no longer the timid little girl in the poor countryside back then. She has lived a better life in recent years and has grown taller, making her skin white and tender. Her eyes are as black as grapes, her cherry saliva is moist and moist. When she smiles, she has two dimples on her face, which are pretty and cute.
Hu Cui had already come over and said with a knee: "The civilian woman has seen the prince's husband..."
"Sister-in-law."
Ji Wan stepped forward and helped her up, "I am just a girl who went back to my parents' home to visit relatives today, not a wife."
Hu Cui looked up and met her soft and smiling gaze, as before. The strangeness that she had not seen for two years and the restraint brought by her identity suddenly disappeared under such gaze.
"Okay." Hu Cui smiled, "I have asked me to go to the store to inform my father, Aping and the others to come back. Let's go inside, let's talk about it."
"Um."
Ji Wan and Hu Cui walked side by side, and the two maids followed behind with gifts. When the group stepped into the gate, the people outside immediately surrounded him and discussed.
"Is this a relative of the Ji family? It's so majestic."
"Don't you know? This is the eldest girl from the second house of the Ji family. This house was originally owned by their family, but their whole family moved to the capital two years ago, and they don't know when they will come back."
"Oh, I remember, isn't this Miracle hotpot that is popular in the North now that is the one that Miss Ji?"
"What girl, I'm the king of the country."
"Ph! Now it's the county lord."
The people did not dare to approach, and the discussion was low, for fear of disturbing Ji Wan, the nobleman who flew from a farmer to a branch and turned into a county lord.
Ji Wan's name is a legend.
Greenhouse vegetables, artificial ice making. Just these two things are enough to make her a big celebrity, let alone the delicious food she made.
However, in ancient times, information was backward, and these ordinary people still didn't know that she married into the Duke's Mansion and became the prince's wife.
At the entrance of the Jiangzhai next door, a low-key and luxurious carriage was parked. Next to the carriage was a young man wearing a moon-white round neck and wide sleeves embroidered green bamboo.
The eldest son of Jiang Mansion, Jiang Yuan.
His and Ji Wan's carriage came from two directions and arrived almost at the same time. However, Ji Wan's reputation was too great and attracted all the people to watch, so few people noticed him.
He was a person who didn't like the excitement. After getting off the carriage, he was about to walk in, but when he looked up, he saw the luxurious carriage parked at the door next door. There were guards on both sides. He was inevitably surprised and couldn't help but stop. Then he saw the woman walking out of the car.
Jiang Yuan only saw Ji Wan once, and he remembered that he was a gentle and quiet beautiful girl. In the past two years, he occasionally heard some news about Ji Wan from his stepmother. He knew that she had been named the county lord and married the Duke's Mansion to be the prince's wife.
Two years are not long or short, but it is enough to make Jiang Yuan, who had only met Ji Wan, forget her face.
Just now, due to the angle problem and the maid following Ji Wan, Jiang Yuan only saw her side face. In just a moment of rush, he didn't even have time to overlap with the girl who almost crashed into his arms in his garden two years ago, and her figure disappeared.
Jiang Yuan has no special feelings for Ji Wan, but after all, the two families have been neighbors for half a year. Now Ji Wanrong has returned to her hometown, so she is afraid she will visit her.
"I went to the mountain to invite the wife and the third girl who worshipped Buddha to come back to my house, and I said that there were distinguished guests coming."
"yes."
The concierge immediately hurried away.
Jiang Yuan gave an order and walked in. He did not go back to his yard, but went to see Mrs. Jiang.
"Why did you come back so early?"
Today, a classmate and friend of Jiang Yuan held a poetry meeting at home and invited many students. Mrs. Jiang thought that the eldest grandson would not return until evening.
Jiang Yuan said in short: "After a little unpleasant, they all parted."
Mrs. Jiang knew her grandson's temperament, and she was always low-key and introverted, and did not compete with others. In such an occasion, it must be that those arrogant and talented men competed with each other and had conflicts with each other. The grandson took advantage of the donkey and left directly.
"Grandma, I just saw the eldest girl of the Zhou family at the door."
"Um."
Mrs. Jiang was careless at first, and then came to her senses, "Who are you talking about?"
"The eldest girl of the Zhou family."
Jiang Yuan repeated calmly.
Mrs. Jiang looked slightly stunned, and an accident appeared in her eyes, and she sighed, "My mother and son of the Zhou family are back?"
"No, she came back alone."
Jiang Yuan said: "When the Northern Di came, the Duke of An Guo and his son went to war, she should have gone back to her hometown with her husband and visited her relatives in Dengxian County. I thought that in the past, our two families had a good relationship, so she should have visited her door, so she had already sent someone to invite her mother back."
Mrs. Jiang has returned to normal, "Well, I understand. She is now the prince's wife of the Duke's Mansion. We are not qualified to marry each other, and it is not easy to take the initiative to submit a letter of worship, as if she is deliberately attached. She has a noble status, and if we come to the mansion, we should not be negligent. You are a foreign man, and you don't want to meet a female guest. Just treat your mother and I. Go back."
