Chapter 231
Ji Wan was originally thinking about when to go back to Yi Village to see, but now she is always accompanied by maids and guards, and she seems too generous. She talks to her former sisters like showing off. It is not safe to drive light cars, so it is delayed.
Liu's death gave her a suitable reason.
When Liu was arrested, she did evil and offended all the people in the village. Naturally, no one liked her. However, death was like a lamp, and no matter how great the hatred was, it would be gone.
At the funeral, the villagers still came to follow the crowd.
Ji Wan deliberately changed into a low-key carriage. Without the guards, she brought two maids Bai Yun and Bai Feng. Yancheng was far away from Yi Village. When she arrived, the villagers had basically finished the incense one by one, and the women helped to prepare all the lunch.
Someone saw her from afar.
"Hey, is that Awan? I'm not right?"
"It's Awan, that's right. Two days ago, Miao returned to the village. Didn't it say that Awan went back to the north with her husband? Liu said that they were all her grandmothers, so she must have come back to worship."
"I heard that Awan is now Mrs. Gui, so don't call her nickname again in the future. What's this called... Oh, it's disrespectful."
Several women recognized her, discussed a few words, and then went in to notify Ji Hai and others.
Ji Hai and his wife came out soon, Ji Yuan and Yuan were there, and Ji Ping and his sister, including the married Ji Hong and his wife, also followed behind.
Ji Wan looked over at first sight and the first thing she noticed was Ji Yun.
The twelve-year-old girl followed Ji Yuan and his wife, wearing a plain white dress, like a delicate flower, with a little sadness on her face, and she didn't look very weak.
This is a very different story from the little girl who ran to her house to grab the hare and talked swearing.
Even Ji Song had a little calmness and maturity on his face that was not in line with his age.
Because it was a funeral, Ji Wan was dressed very cleanly, her whole body was covered in white, and all the gold hairpins and jade mats on her head were removed, looking fresher and more elegant, with less aggressive nobility. But her identity was there, and the villagers still dared not approach her. She wanted to bow to her, but Ji Wan raised her hand to stop her.
She walked over and the villagers separated automatically.
Entering the main hall, Ji Wan took a look at the golden nanmu coffin placed in the center, knelt down, kowtowed three respectfully, and incense. She stood up and glanced at the people in the room.
In addition to the relatives and villagers of the Ji family, she also saw the Liu family.
Only one of the two brothers of Liu came, and all of them were sons, daughters, grandchildren, and there were more than a dozen people, but none of them were crying.
It's really ironic.
"Awan, it's rare that you are rich and honorable. I still remember that my grandmother in the country is willing to come to worship. If your grandmother has a spirit in heaven, she will be relieved."
Ji Yuan's tone was gentle, "It's just that the countryside is simple and not as good as the high-ranking gate of the Duke Mansion. I'm afraid I'll let you down."
"Uncle San was joking." Ji Wan said lightly, "I have lived in a more simple house in the past, and I have eaten a lot of leftovers. However, Uncle San heard that in recent years, all the families of gentry and people who have made friends with are all powerful families. I am afraid that they are not used to this small hut."
Ji Yuan's face changed, and his eyes became more alert and exploration.
Ji Wan went to the capital for two years, and he also heard about their family in the north. He never expected that this niece was so capable. From the village lord to the county lord, he was even more fortunate to marry into the Duke's Mansion as the young lady. And her mother, who was born in a difficult and could remarry a widow as a widow, as the head mistress.
The mother and daughter are now well-developed and can't afford to offend.
He thought that Zhou was a good-tempered person, Ji Wan was not a mean person, and had reached the top of the wealthy family, so he would not pay attention to a small role like him. But he did not expect that this girl could find out all his actions clearly.
What does she want to do?
Having been disqualified from the scientific examination, Ji Yuan had no choice but to find another way. With the wealthy connections of the Yuan family, he made friends with some powerful people as much as possible, hoping to get their recommendation to the government.
He worked hard for more than a year, and finally made a line through Qinglin County Magistrate. He was about to visit him with generous gifts, but Liu died.
He had to keep mourning for another three years.
But it doesn't matter. As long as he gets favored by noble people, he can become a counselor first. He is less than thirty and can wait.
But if Ji Wan intervenes in the intervention...
Thinking of this, Ji Yuan pursed his thin lips into a straight line, and his expression became more gloomy.
When Yuan, who was sitting next to him, saw him, he said, "What's wrong? Are you unhappy when you see your niece?"
Since Liu got a Qiuye two years ago, which caused Yuan to have a premature birth and almost died, the relationship between the couple has broken down, and it is good that they can barely respect each other.
At this time, Yuan's tone seemed a little cold.
Ji Yuan also tried to repair the relationship between husband and wife, but Yuan was a woman with a clear love and hate. Once he saw his true face, he was unwilling to repeat the same mistakes. He was willing to be a husband and wife with him, just for the sake of his children.
"No."
Ji Yuan still had to rely on the Yuan family and did not dare to be too tough in front of the Yuan family.
"But Awan has become a little stranger to me now. She used to be gentle and filial, and never talked to her elders like this, now..."
Before he finished speaking, Yuan laughed sarcastically.
Although she was a woman from a deep house, she knew a lot about the Ji family. Everyone in the village knew how Ji Yuan and his original wife treated their brother and sister-in-law very seriously. Her dead mother-in-law was once sued twice in the county government.
Once, the Zhou mother and daughter went to the county government to beat the Dengwen drum.
It can be seen that Ji Wan and her mother hate Liu.
Filial piety is true, but when you meet a mean grandmother like Liu, don’t contradict him? Ji Yuan said this, but the three-year-old child would not believe it.
Why do you have to force yourself to cover up something that everyone knows?
"You are worried that she will take revenge on you."
Ji Yuan frowned, disliked Yuan's tone with contempt.
"You, I, husband and wife are one. If I am in trouble, you will not be able to keep it alone, and there is also Brother Zhi."
Yuan was silent for a moment and said, "If you really do it for the sake of our mother and mother, you will be honest and don't think of those evil ways. I think your niece is not an unreasonable person. She will not deliberately cause trouble for you. You are just a civilian, a noble lady from the Duke's Mansion. Why should you condescend to deal with you? You have no shame."
She satirized Ji Yuan's villain's heart.
Ji Yuan's face was slightly cold and he whispered, "What do you know? My niece has a heart. Thinking about it, she was just a country girl, cowardly, and even speaks in a quiet voice. After walking from the gate of hell, her temperament changed. She was aggressive and revenge would be avenged. When she was powerless and powerless, she dared to instigate the villagers to go to the county government to sue the He family, who has a background. Now she and her mother have become noble ladies. Who in this village knows that her family had an unhappy relationship with my mother before. She came to worship. Do you think she was really so filial? You didn't see her looking at me just now, so how could she have respect for the elders? In the past two years, she has not been in the north, but she has found my every move clearly. If she said that there was no other purpose, I wouldn't believe it."
