Skin monkey?
Before Bai Yanqing could react, a familiar voice came from the door.
"Grandpa! Are you talking bad about me behind my back again?"
Bai Yanqing raised her head and looked towards the door, but saw Ji Nanjing pacing over slowly.
It turns out that the skinny monkey that General Ji talked about was none other than Ji Nanjing!
"Brother Jing? Why do you have time in the house today?"
Bai Yanqing quickly stood up and said to Ji Nanjing.
After all, Bai Yanqing was a guest in the Ji Mansion and Ji Nanjing was a member of the family. It would be somewhat inappropriate for her to sit and talk to Ji Nanjing.
"Since you are coming today, why don't I help you in the house? Otherwise, can my grandfather and father spare me? We have to put aside all the big things. How can you be as important as you?"
Ji Nanjing walked up to Bai Yanqing while laughing.
In fact, it was not the two elders of the Ji family who forced Ji Nanjing to stay in the house, it was just... Ji Nanjing wanted to stay!
"You brat, you finally said something humane!"
General Ji said happily to Ji Nanjing, giving him a rare compliment.
Ji Nanjing carried General Ji behind his back and made a face at Bai Yanqing! He knew that his good grandfather would say this!
Bai Yanqing took out the handkerchief, covered her mouth and smiled softly. It turns out that the Ji family is so relaxed and harmonious!
There are no rigid rules between the elders and younger ones of the Ji family. On the contrary, they get along extremely harmoniously and easily! Not at all like those high-ranking families who stick to those boring etiquettes all day long!
"Yan Qing finally came to the house. Will father take her around?"
At that time, Ji Jinxiu suddenly spoke and said to General Ji.
General Ji nodded and seemed to agree with Ji Jinxiu's proposal.
The three of them, grandfather and grandson, surrounded Bai Yanqing in front and back, and wanted to go out the door.
Knowing that Bai Yanqing was coming today, Ji Jinxiu had already sent people to clean the whole house clean and fresh!
At this time, everything he looked at was spotless.
"I didn't know that my grandfather liked to grow flowers so much! Look at the whole house, everywhere visible to the naked eye, there are flower pots! Come back, I will ask someone to pick out a few pots of good flowers and send them to the general's house!"
Bai Yanqing looked at the flowerpots all over the yard and said with a smile.
In the past, she had never heard Ji Jinxiu mention that General Ji loved to grow flowers!
Bai Yanqing's words fell for a long time, but she didn't hear the Ji family's ancestors and grandsons speak. She looked embarrassed and wondered to herself in embarrassment, was she too familiar?
"Yan Qing...Actually, it's not that my father likes to grow flowers, but...Jinchu is the best at growing flowers!"
After a long time, Ji Jinxiu finally spoke and said this slowly!
Bai Yanqing was stunned, searching carefully in her mind whether the mother she remembered when she was a child was such a flower lover!
In her memory, Bai Yanqing seemed to have indeed seen her mother, who once served as a nurse. However, she was so young at that time, so small that...she could no longer remember the situation at that time!
"Our house is full of big men, how can we raise these things? Knowing that you were coming, your grandfather specially sent people out to buy some things! He said, add some flowers and plants to the house, it looks... Be more festive! Lest you feel too cold!"
When Ji Jinxiu saw that Bai Yanqing didn't say anything, he opened his mouth again and started talking!
Since Ji Jinchu's death, no one in the Ji family has planted these again! First, they are afraid of disrespecting their elders and missing people when they see things. Secondly, it is true that he is a servant in the mansion and cannot take care of flowers and plants! Even if you plant it, it will be wasted!
It's already winter, and many flowers and plants cannot be grown. Without a special greenhouse, these flowers and plants will freeze to death within two days!
"It's time to add some joy! Grandpa, look how good these flowers are growing. You don't have to worry about them being frozen to death. By then, if a few are dead, go out and buy a few pots to replenish them.
That’s it! Adding more flowers and plants to the house will really give it a bit more vitality! "
Bai Yanqing supported General Ji, then pointed to one of the pots of flowers that were wilting in the cold wind, and said to General Ji.
"You girl, your temperament is indeed different from your mother's! If she had seen this, she would definitely feel distressed for a long time!"
General Ji stared at the pots of flowers in front of him that were being blown around by the cold wind, with a hint of regret in his eyes.
Ji Jinchu loved and cherished flowers, but she hated seeing these dying flowers the most. But Bai Yanqing is obviously different from her! When Bai Yanqing saw these dying flowers and plants, her first reaction was, if they are dead, just add a few new pots! Why should I be sad and hurt my lungs just because of a few pots of flowers that were frozen to death? How unworthy it is!
It has to be said that General Ji admires Bai Yanqing's free and easy nature even more!
"It's just a few pots of flowers and plants. If they die, they will die. We raise flowers because they can add a little more joy to our lives. They are not just for us, living people, to replace a few pots of flowers." Damn, I'm mourning! Grandpa, what do you think?"
Bai Yanqing said with a smile. In her opinion, she didn't even bother to find happiness that she could buy with money, so she didn't want to find happiness for herself!
"Well, what Yan Qing said makes sense!"
General Ji nodded, agreeing with Bai Yanqing's words.
"We all need to move forward, what do you think?"
Bai Yanqing was silent for a long time, then suddenly spoke and said this to General Ji.
Dead flowers and plants can still be replaced. So, what about people? For the deceased relatives, the living people should not continue to stay in mourning and missing!
People should look forward and learn to accept and appreciate the new beauty instead of dwelling on the pain of the past!
"Yes, Yan Qing is right! We...it's time to move forward!"
Ji Jinxiu suddenly spoke and looked at the old father beside him!
It was not that General Ji didn't understand the meaning of Bai Yanqing and Ji Jinxiu's words. After a long time, he finally nodded vigorously as if he had made up his mind! His eyes are firm and there is no cloudiness in his eyes!
Yes, it’s time to...move forward!
"Hey...what is that?"
At this time, Ji Nanjing suddenly stretched out his hand, pointed to a small garden not far away, and exclaimed loudly!
I saw that in a garden not far away, a few bright yellow stars suddenly appeared!
"It's wintersweet! Suxin wintersweet! It was planted by Jinchu in the early years! This flower is the most delicate! Since the death of Jinchu, no one has taken care of it, so it has never bloomed again!"
General Ji stared at the wintersweet flowers not far away, and his eyes suddenly became sour again.
Although the chrysanthemum garden in Ji Mansion is named "Chrysanthemum", in fact, the flowers planted in it are all seasonal flowers, which bloom and fall all year round. There are winter jasmine, peach blossoms, etc. in spring, water lilies, marigolds, etc. in summer, chrysanthemums, golden osmanthus, etc. in autumn, and winter plum blossoms in winter! Various varieties of flowers bloom according to different seasons and temperatures!
But since Ji Jinchu passed away, no one has taken care of this garden anymore! Because this place was once blocked by General Ji, and no one was allowed to get close!
In recent years, because of Bai Yanqing, General Ji's heart has opened up a little! In this chrysanthemum garden, servants would occasionally come in and clean it, but General Ji still did not allow anyone to touch the dead flowers and grass here!
After all, these were all planted before Ji Jinchu was born, and they can be regarded as the last thoughts that General Ji had for his daughter!
However, who would have thought that this year's winter was extremely cold, but a few drops of snow water actually caused the wintersweet in the garden to bloom!
It’s really a rare sight!
Suxin wintersweet is one of the most precious and rare types of wintersweet! Its flower color is pure yellow. After the flowers bloom, they have a rich fragrance that is refreshing!
The petals are like beeswax and do not stick to water. A few drops of snow water fell down, sliding directly into the soil along the smooth petals.
middle! Standing proudly against the snow and frost, it looks extremely otherworldly in the howling cold wind!
General Ji slowly walked forward and stood in front of the plain wintersweet. His eyes gradually became a little cloudy: Could it be that even Ji Jinchu asked him to look forward?
"This flower is really beautiful! This is the first time in my life that I have seen such beautiful wintersweet flowers!"
Bai Yanqing spoke up at the right time, interrupting General Ji's contemplation.
Several people stood in front of the wintersweet branches, looking at the depressing scene in the garden, and sighed to themselves!
This wintersweet tree has not bloomed for many years, but today, as soon as Bai Yanqing came to Ji Mansion, they all bloomed! This is really a great happy event for the Ji family!
"It seems that it also knows that my sister is coming!"
Ji Nanjing stood in front of the wintersweet, with a smile that was brighter than the flowers!
"Yan Qing is happy, so he must have known about it, and he is also happy for Yan Qing!"
Ji Jinxiu suddenly spoke, staring at the wintersweet, and said with deep meaning.
Bai Yanqing is happy? Where does joy come from? That is of course...the emperor's imperial edict!
It seems that everyone in the entire capital must be aware of the marriage between Bai Yanqing and the eldest prince!
"Uncle made fun of me again!"
Bai Yanqing's cheeks were slightly hot, but when she thought of her marriage to Yun Qi, she couldn't help but feel happy!
"Hey... I just don't know whether this is a blessing or a curse!"
General Ji stared at the wintersweet in front of him and spoke quickly.
Hearing this, Bai Yanqing's heart tightened. She understood that her grandfather would not say this casually!
"Grandpa is worried about the eldest prince?"
Bai Yanqing turned her head, looked at General Ji, and asked.
"No, I'm not worried about the eldest prince, I'm worried about you! The eldest prince's road has been paved for him one after another! But... my dear, where is your road? Who will pave it for you? My grandfather is old and no longer useful! He can no longer speak in court! Your uncle and cousin have not yet entered the court. From now on... your road will become more and more difficult! "
General Ji finally moved his eyes away from the wintersweet. He looked at Bai Yanqing blankly, his eyes filled with worry!
General Ji has been in court for many years and has been an official for several years. He knows better than anyone else the things that go on in the court!
From the front to the harem, one move has always affected the whole body! Just looking at the concubines in the palace today, most of the concubines who were neglected by the emperor were also abandoned by the emperor because of the decline of their mother clan!
