Chapter 228

"Awan."

Ji Hai strode in and looked at his niece who had already stood up with joy.

Like Hu Cui, Ji Hai and his son were a little overwhelmed when they saw Ji Wan, who was full of grace and nobleness. Although their family had already lived a life of luxury when they were in Dengxian County, their temperament was still different. Ji Wan was born beautiful, and her facial features grew in the past two years, her skin became more delicate, and she became more beautiful and charming.

After a while, Ji Cheng said, "Sister Wan is getting more and more beautiful."

Ji Wan smiled.

The room was sitting back.

"It's summer now, and the store should not be busy, so my uncle doesn't need to go and watch it every day."

Ji Hai smiled and said, "I don't stay in the store all day, I just have to go over and take a look to rest assured. By the way, Awan, why are you back?"

Ji Wan briefly explained the reason.

Ji Hai sighed, "It's only been two years since the peace, and Beidi has made a comeback. In addition, the civil war... the internal and external troubles are fighting, and the people are the most suffering."

Ji Ping didn't say anything, and probably thought about joining the army.

Ji Wan also sighed a little, "When we moved away two years ago, the front line had just started fighting. This time, it was because of the war. The wonders of the world will always exceed expectations."

Ji Ping said: "So, will you stay for a long time when you come back this time?"

"Yeah." Ji Wan said: "Sanlang fights against the enemy on the front line, at least we have to wait until Beidi retreats before we can return to Beijing."

Ji Cheng quipped with a smile: "When I was in Yi Village, Prince Lu helped your family many times. I didn't expect that you two would be married. It seems that this marriage is destined by God."

Everyone in the room laughed.

Ji Wan glared at Ji Cheng, her eyes turned, and she said slowly: "I heard my sister-in-law say that Acheng is engaged, congratulations."

Now it's Ji Cheng's turn to be embarrassed.

Ji Ping smiled and changed the topic, "Dad has sent someone to Yi Village to inform my mother that she will come back. You can have dinner here at noon. It's been two years since I was worried about you."

"Yeah, OK."

It was almost noon, and Ji Wan originally planned to have lunch here.

Not long after, Miao came back in a hurry. After two years of separation, we met again and there was a lot of greetings. The women talked, but the men were not inconvenient to stay in the inner courtyard for too long. Ji Hai and his two sons went to the kitchen to cook.

Miao looked at Ji Wan carefully, and looked happy and moved, "Your mother, Arong, Aheng and others are okay? Are the people from the Xiao family good to you?"

After all, Zhou was once the daughter-in-law of the Ji family. She didn't bother to ask in front of Ji Hai and his son. As a woman, she was very considerate of Zhou's difficulty. It is also great to have a support after remarrying.

"Don't worry, aunt, they are all very good."

Ji Wan's expression was gentle, "My grandmother was kind and her father treated us siblings as their biological children. Arong had been engaged last year and would get married next year. Ah Heng also studied literature and martial arts with the eldest son of the Xiao family every day, and was as close as brothers and sisters."

Miao nodded and said with relief: "That's good."

"Sister Wan."

Ji Xiang tilted her head and said softly: "Since my brother-in-law is fighting on the front line and is not in the mansion for the time being, you might as well stay here for a few days so that we can talk about the past. If my sister and the others know that you are back, they will definitely be very happy."

Miao looked at her, "That's right, this house is yours. In the past, your sisters' rooms were empty. I'll clean it up for you and stay here for a while."

"No need for auntie."

Ji Wan refused with a smile, "I am taking my maids and guards, and I will cause trouble for you here. Now I am in Yancheng, and there is my property here. I often come here to see it, and there is time to reminisce about the past."

“Okay.”

Miao thought that her niece was now the young lady of the Duke's Mansion, and there were a lot of people around her serving her. There were only a dozen servants in the house, so how could she be as grand as the Duke's Mansion? She didn't let her be wronged, so she didn't ask for her to keep her.

"Now we are close, and the store is not busy. My aunt might as well bring her sister-in-law and Axiang Alan to visit the mansion in her spare time. I live alone in the mansion, and it's empty. When you come, I'll be lively."

Ji Xiang and Jilan had bright eyes, and she obviously yearned for it.

"They are both unruly, and they may cause inconvenience to you."

Miao was self-aware and his niece invited her sincerely, but she had never seen a commoner who was very good at the world. Even if she lived a good life because of her niece, she was still not up to the top in the eyes of noble people. With such a grand family, the maids and mothers were all higher in their knowledge. The two daughters were young and did not understand the rules of the rich family. They could not make people laugh at them and also embarrass their niece.

"The aunt is overly worried."

Ji Wan guessed her concerns and said with a smile: "It's no inconvenience for our family to not speak two families. I rarely come back. When I see my relatives, I feel happy, so I want to talk and reminisce with my sisters. I also want to go back to Yi Village to see... By the way, is Amei already married?"

"It's not yet, but I've been engaged. It's Wu Jiahuazi."

Ji Wan thought for a long time before she remembered, "Wu Hua?"

The Wu family has a large population, and Wu Hua ranks third. Wu Hua's mother fell in love with Ji Hong and wanted to marry Miao. Unexpectedly, after going around in circles, she married Feng Mei.

Miao also remembered the old things and looked a little distant.

"Shortly after you moved to the capital, the Feng family got engaged to the Wu family. They originally wanted to hold a banquet in the spring of the next year. But in the twelfth lunar month of the previous year, Mr. Wu died of illness and called his family to divide the family before his death. Wu Hua wanted to keep mourning for three years, and he would only give mourning for the next lunar month of next year, and the wedding date would be delayed until the next year."

Feng Mei and Ji Wan were in the same year, so wouldn’t it be eighteen years after the next year?

In this era, there are already leftover women.

There must be a lot of gossip.

Miao sighed again, "Amei is not easy, but fortunately Huazi treats her well. Fortunately, the villagers benefit from the hot pot restaurant you opened, and every family has a better life. The Wu family has divided the family and has a small population. Amei has built a new house in the future, so she will not be wronged even if she marrys her."

...

Ji Wanrong returned to his hometown and condescendingly visited relatives. Ji Hai's family naturally had to treat him well, so they specially cooked several more dishes today.

"Awan, uncle is not as good as you, don't dislike him."

"What are you saying? You are an elder and you cook for me personally. I feel sorry for you. If you say this again, I will be even more ashamed."

Even if she became a noble lady, she would not have any airs.

Ji Hai was very pleased.

"Your uncle has been helping you manage the store in the past two years. He has learned some skills from the chefs in the store. Although it is not as good as you, it is much better than before. Come on, eat more."

Miao smiled and picked up food for her.

"Thank you, aunt, you eat too."

The family had lunch happily, and Ji Wan went to Jiangzhai again.
