On the other side, Ji Wan and Hu Cui walked in and saw Ji Xiang holding his nephew Ji Fan at the second door.

"Sister Wan."

Ji Xiang trotted forward a few steps, and a happy smile on her face, which was sixty-six-six-six-same as Ji Lan.

Ji Fan was less than two years old and could run away. He looked at Ji Wan blankly, his chubby face was full of confusion and curiosity.

Hu Cui called her son over, "Fan'er, call Aunt Wan."

Ji Fan looked at his mother in confusion, not understanding why he had another aunt.

Ji Wan smiled and took a golden lock that was exactly the same as that given to Zhuke yesterday from Zeng Ting's words, and bent down to bring it to Ji Fan.

"Awan, such a valuable gift cannot be used..."

When Hu Cui saw this, he quickly stopped him.

She has seen some worlds in the past two years. At first glance, she saw that the golden lock was made of pure gold, with fine workmanship and exquisite carvings, and was worth at least dozens of taels of silver.

She knew that Ji Wan was now the young lady of the Duke's Mansion and was very rich. But they could not take it for granted just because they were relatives.

"Fan'er is my nephew. I am an aunt, so I should give you a gift."

Ji Wan knew that her uncle's family was a person with good character, and she was afraid that others would say they would stick to her, so she never asked her for anything. It was because of this that she felt that this family was precious.

"Brother Fan, I am your aunt, do you remember?"

She looked at Ji Fan with a gentle look and a friendly tone.

Ji Fan looked up at this incredibly beautiful aunt and suddenly stretched out his chubby little hands, "Auntie, hug."

Ji Wan was stunned, and then smiled and hugged him up.

There are two younger brothers in the Xiao Mansion who are under one year old. Ji Wan has hugged them a lot before getting married, so she is very experienced in hugging children.

Perhaps because the blood is thicker than water, or because Ji Wan is too friendly, Ji Fan soon fell in love with this aunt he saw for the first time. After entering the main hall, he still held her neck and refused to let go.

After sitting down, he reached out to touch Ji Wan's white jade hairpin on his head.

Seeing this, Hu Cui quickly rebuked, "Fan'er, don't make trouble."

My mother's words are still very intimidating, and Ji Fan really dared not touch them.

Ji Wan took off the white jade hairpin indifferently, "Fan'er likes this?"

Ji Fan nodded, remembering his mother's scolding just now, and shook his head quickly.

Hu Cui said helplessly, "This child is curious about anything new. Don't give it to him, be careful to break it."

She has also seen some noble ladies who wear gold and silver, which are very elegant. But compared to Ji Wan, they are still much inferior. The young lady of the Duke's Mansion is not comparable to ordinary people? She doesn't know jade, but seeing that the jade hairpin is transparent and round, it must be valuable.

The son was young and ignorant. If he accidentally broke it, Ji Wan would not ask them to compensate him, and she felt sorry for him.

"It's just a jade hairpin. Fan'er likes it and plays with it. It's okay if it breaks it."

Her younger brother Lang Ge'er, who was less than one year old, broke her red gold ruby ​​last time without any hesitation, and she didn't feel sorry for her.

Hu Cui watched in silence and said nothing more.

My sister-in-law is now of a valuable identity. Although she is still as friendly and easy-going as before, her elegant and precious words and deeds make people feel unattainable.

Hu Cui is just a countryman. Even though he has moved to the county town now and has seen some worldly appearances. But after all, he has never been to the noble mansion, has never experienced the manners of noble people, and has limited imagination. Now when he sees his sister-in-law who is different from the past, he deeply understands the difference between the powerful and the civilians.

I am afraid that the things I have learned in the past two years cannot even be considered as superficial.

She remembered what her husband said a few days ago...

"Awan."

Hu Cui looked at Ji Wan, who was patiently answering the questions of two sister-in-law, and said, "A few days ago, your elder brother said that he wanted to join the army."

Ji Wan was stunned.

"Don't you want to take the martial arts exam? There is only more than a month left before the autumn examination."

Hu Cui sighed and said, "He said, learn civil and martial arts and sell it to the imperial family. Now the war is on the front line, and his dignified man should go to the battle to kill the enemy, but his parents disagree." After a pause, he said, "I don't want him to go to the danger."

Maybe it was because his thoughts had been hidden for too long and he didn't know who to tell him, but when Hu Cui saw Ji Wan, he couldn't help but want to talk.

"Actually, whether your elder brother is a civilian or can be a military officer in the future, in my heart, he is just my husband. I didn't seek any wealth when I married him, and my life is pretty good now. If I say these words, you probably think I have no ambition."

Hu Cui smiled bitterly, "I am just a country woman, and what I want is not a family peace. If your elder brother has to fight with his life to gain wealth, I would rather he be just an ordinary person. I don't want to be an official wife. As long as he is by my side, he is safe and safe, it is better than anything else."

Her mentality is similar to that of Mrs. Lu Si.

After all, Mr. Lu was born in a noble family, so he would not be an unknown soldier after going to the military camp. But Ji Ping, a commoner, could not convince the public even if he relied on her relationship to be a team leader. And the soldier had to go to the battlefield to fight with the enemy. On the battlefield, life and death were only in a moment.

Hu Cui is still pregnant with a child and is more sensitive than usual, so she naturally doesn't want Ji Ping to go to that dangerous place.

"Sister-in-law, I understand your mood."

After pondering for a while, Ji Wan said, "Don't talk about you. My Sanlang joined the army at a young age. He has experienced countless wars in all kinds of battles and is experienced. But if he can, I don't want him to go to the battlefield to fight in a war robe. But I understand that this is his responsibility and mission as a descendant of the Lu family, and his ambition as a man. As a wife, I can only support it."

Hu Cui remained silent.

Ji Wan looked at her bulging belly and said, "Let's do it, wait for the elder brother to come back, and discuss it with him. If he must go, don't stop him. Let him stay at home for a few more months, and wait until you finish the confinement period. If he still insists at that time, let him go and practice. The new army will still have to train and not necessarily participate in the war."

"That's all."

Hu Cui couldn't think of any other way, so she nodded and agreed.

"Forget it, I won't talk about these things. It's rare for you to come back, and you should say something happy." Hu Cui shook her head, put the matter aside for the time being, and then smiled and said, "You don't know yet, the second brother has been engaged."

"ah?"

Ji Wan was very shocked.

"When did it happen?"

Ji Cheng is only fifteen years old this year. But it’s right to think about it. After all, the ancients had early engagements, especially the common people.

"Just last month." Hu Cui said, "The other party is the daughter of the manager of the hot pot restaurant you opened in Dengxian."

Ji Wan was slightly surprised again, and then smiled and said, "Is this the first thing I can do to get the moon when I get it?"

Hu Cui also laughed, "I have seen that girl. She is a gentle and virtuous girl, and she is also beautiful. She is one year younger than Acheng. She will hold a wedding banquet after the spring next year."

As soon as he finished speaking, a maid trotted in and said that the master and the two young masters were back.
