Ji Wan has always been generous to her nieces and nieces. Everyone gave her a golden lock, which made many neighbors envious.

The young wife of a wealthy family is rich and generous. Although the Ji Hai family is a commoner, if you have such a wealthy relative, why worry about not having a good life? And after the New Year, Ji Ping will go to Beijing to take the martial arts exam, and he is about to become an official and shine his family.

Lu Feili is quite friendly and does not dislike his wife's family as a civilian, and he is not impatient with Ji Hai and his son. Ji Wan is with a bunch of female relatives to tease her little niece.

"It's better for the child. He doesn't know anything. He goes to bed after eating, and doesn't worry about it at all."

Hu Cui smiled and said, "Don't look at her being well-behaved now. She's going to be a mess at night. You'll know when you become your own mother."

Ji Wan just smiled and thought of the two little brothers in Xiao’s mansion.

The two little guys are over one year old. Last time my mother wrote to me that she could speak, but she was not very good at walking and stumbling, so she had to support her.

I remembered the fact that Lu Feili said he wanted a child last night... Ji Wan had never thought about it before, but now looking at Ji Fan and Ji Rou, I think it's good to have a child. There was no entertainment in ancient times, and there were people under her business. She basically just looked at the account book and had nothing to do. With a child around her, it might be more lively.

"By the way, sister-in-law." Ji Wan temporarily suppressed the thoughts in her mind and asked another thing, "Brother will participate in the martial arts competition in February next year. Will you have to leave for the capital after the New Year? After all, time is tight."

Hu Cui nodded.

"You have to leave in the third year of junior high school." She sighed, "It's cold and cold now. It's snowing in many places. It's hard to walk on land. I guess you still have to go by water. The journey takes nearly a month."

"What about you, will you go with me?"

"It turned out that I wanted to go, but now..." Hu Cui looked at her daughter and sighed, "Rou'er is still so young. It's just when she needs her mother. It's not convenient to walk with her. After your elder brother settled in the capital, I will take the child to find him."

Hu Xiao tilted his head and looked at her.

"Sister, my brother-in-law is going to be an official in Beijing. Are you unhappy?"

She is eleven years old this year, braided with two small braids, her small face as big as a palm is fair and elegant, and her eyes are very lively.

Hu Cui smiled, "It's not certain whether you can be on the list, so you'll be an official? Don't talk nonsense."

She looked around and said, "I'm worried that my brother-in-law will not be on the list? No, don't worry, people in the general's mansion say that my brother-in-law is good at learning martial arts well, and I will definitely pass the exam."

Ji Wan looked at Hu Cui's smile but couldn't hide her sad eyes, knowing that she must have something to worry about. Somehow, she remembered the fact that she had just settled down with Ji Ping and came to her home to "study". She also had just returned to the north to visit her relatives, and she looked at herself in a daze.

Hu Cui was worried that after Ji Ping became an official, he would be unable to withstand the temptation if he had a wide range of knowledge?

As a woman, Hu Cui’s worries are not redundant, but she cannot hinder her husband from seeking a future. With a daughter, she cannot always follow her, and she will inevitably feel uneasy.

Ji Wan believes that in Hu Cui's eyes, wealth and honor will never be as good as a couple.

Thinking of this, she pulled Hu Cui to speak alone when she left, "Sister-in-law, you don't have to worry so much. Even if you pass the exam, you won't have a position so quickly. Even if you enter the Ministry of War, you have to endure it slowly."

As soon as these words were said, Hu Cui knew that she had seen through her thoughts and her face turned a little red.

"Um."

...

As New Year's Eve approached, Ji Wanzao ordered the people to hang lanterns and paste Spring Festival couplets to buy firecrackers, intending to celebrate the New Year in a lively manner. But on the 22nd day of the 12th lunar month, she received a letter from the capital.

It was written by my mother.

The letter stated that the letter came from the hometown in Luoyang that Mrs. Xiao and Yu had fled and were likely to have come to the north.

Ji Wan really didn't expect that Yu's family could escape. Moreover, a wife of Jin Zun and Yu Gui fled from the south to the north alone during the war.

Sure enough, the power of hatred is endless.

The Buddha has been chanting for more than a year for nothing.

Ji Wan gave the letter to Xiao Rui.

"My mother said that the Yu family has relatives in the north and the county magistrate of Fengxian County. The third aunt escaped alone and should not have much property on her, so she must have to rely on relatives. No matter how she said that they were all the third wife of Xiao's mansion, it is always inappropriate to stay away like this. Moreover, this is privacy, which is not easy to alarm the government. I think it would be better for you to go to Fengxian in person."

Xiao Rui is the eldest son of the Xiao family, so it is best to leave this matter to him.

Xiao Rui quickly finished reading the letter, his face slightly heavy.

"I'll leave for Fengxian County now. I will definitely come back before New Year's Eve."

Ji Wan thought for a while and said, "It's better to bring a few guards with you. It will take two days to go there. You'll be alone, I'm not at ease."

Of course, the guards are from the Duke's Mansion. Lu Feili's confidant will not be rumored.

"good."

This matter is not too late. Xiao Rui left that afternoon, but after he arrived in Feng County, he found the county magistrate's home, but he did not see Yu at all.

"She has come to find me." The county magistrate said that it was Yu's distant cousin. After learning about Xiao Rui's identity, he politely invited him in and said, "I want to live here, but I didn't agree. I am not a fool. The old lady of the Yu family regards her as a treasure. If something had happened, how could she live in the north alone? Although my ancestors had a relative with the Yu family, the old lady of the Yu family thought that our family was poor and dilapidated and had not been in contact for many years. Now her daughter fled in trouble, but she remembered to surrender. Maybe she had committed something. If the incident happened, wouldn't it affect my whole family?"

The county magistrate was very calm and said bluntly, "I even said hello to the post station and was not allowed to send her a letter. But she is an official, and I have no evidence to prove that she is a fugitive. It is difficult to report to the government, so I drove her away. I don't know where she has gone now."

Xiao Rui looked at his expression and didn't look like he was lying.

Moreover, a small county magistrate, who can judge the situation so well, would definitely not be willing to offend the Xiao family, so he said, "Since that's the case, I will say goodbye. This matter is hidden, I hope the Lord will keep it secret, and I am grateful."

The county magistrate stood up and said, "Young Master Yan Chong, I understand. Don't worry, I have never seen any Yu family members before. If I see you in the future, I will definitely send them to your husband."

This is a promise to help him find someone.

When Xiao Rui thought, he had seen Yu and was also the county magistrate. He had connections in Feng County, and he always came quickly than if he had flies at his door.
