Chapter 1362 Ji Chundong Recognizes Her
Magistrate Song knew that the little soul boy had a bird named Pearl, so he pointed behind him and said, "I just saw it flying that way."
The little boy nodded: "I know." After saying that, he looked at them again, looked at each of them, and asked, "What are you doing at my house?"
Magistrate Song explained to him: "I made an agreement with your mother that two adults will temporarily stay in the east courtyard of your house these days. If you have nothing to do, don't go over and disturb them. Did you know that?"
The little boy's dark eyes were fixed on Cheng Qi. It was obvious that this man looked very much like "a certain adult".
Cheng Qi looked at him with his head held high, as a cousin, and smiled at him.
But the little boy moved his eyes away and stared up at the tall man beside him: "Are you an adult too?"
Cheng Qi was furious.
Ji Chundong smiled good-naturedly: "You can call me Master Ji, or you can call me Uncle Ji. What do you want to be called?"
The little boy immediately shouted: "Uncle!" He is very good at building relationships.
Ji Chundong saw how cute the child was and liked it from the bottom of his heart. He went to rub his hair again, until the child's head almost fell off.
After that, the little master led the way and took everyone to the east courtyard.
Cheng Qi chose the largest room first, and then ordered people to pack and decorate the things they brought.
Ji Chundong had no desires and desires, so he chose the smaller room next to him. When he saw that the beds and quilts in the room were all ready-made, he saved the time to fiddle with them himself, so he sat down boldly and wiped the rainwater from his clothes.
The little boy followed Ji Chundong into the room and sat at the other end of the table, looking at him with a smile.
Ji Chundong raised his head and looked at the child, casually asking: "What's your name?"
The little boy replied crisply: "Liu Xiaoli."
"How old?"
"Six years old."
"Oh? Six years old." Ji Chundong teased the child deliberately: "That's enlightening. Can you read a thousand-character essay?"
Xiao Li pursed her lips and didn't answer, just looked at him and smiled.
Ji Chundong guessed that the child's academic performance was probably not good, but after thinking about it, he could only memorize the Thousand-Character Essay at the age of fourteen, so he said boldly: "It's okay, a boy, what can you do with such good knowledge, and don't want to get married?" people."
Xiao Li said: "Do you need to be knowledgeable to get married? Aren't you required to be knowledgeable only after taking the first prize?" Ji Chundong patted the child on the forehead: "The first scholar in Wu doesn't take too much knowledge, but a girl who wants to get married must have some skills. , you think about it, this girl's family wants to marry into someone else's family and live a life. If it's not her biological mother, she has to be called mother, and if she's not her biological father, she has to be called dad. She will serve her parents-in-law and educate her children.
You are already suffering and tired, but if you don't have some brains, why don't you let your husband's family bully you to death? "
Xiao Li was immediately frightened: "My mother is also married, will she also be bullied by her husband's family?"
Ji Chundong was stunned for a moment, wondering why this child was so stupid: "Didn't your mother marry your father? Did your father bully your mother?"
Xiao Li shook his head.
Ji Chundong said: "That's okay."
Xiao Li added: "I don't know my father, but my mother is married to Uncle Rong."
Ji Chundong suddenly realized: "Marry again."
Xiao Li didn't understand and looked at him.
When Ji Chundong looked at the child again, he felt that he was pitiful. He couldn't help but soften his tone: "Then you are just a drag. Then did your stepfather bully you? Did he beat you? Is he good to your mother?"
Xiao Li recalled it carefully, and then said the same thing: "Uncle Rong doesn't bully me, doesn't hit me, and is good to my mother."
"That's okay." Ji Chundong said: "If he treats you mother and son badly, just ask your mother to take you away, as far away as possible, and you won't see him again for the rest of your life."
Xiao Li froze for a moment and murmured: "I can't help but see Uncle Rong..."
Ji Chundong paused for a moment, thinking that the stepfather should be really good to the children, and he didn't know them, so there was no reason to sow discord between them, and then said: "Uncle is saying that if, if he treats you badly, you can leave again .”
Xiao Li quickly assured: "Absolutely not. Uncle Rong is the best, better than my mother. My mother will punish me if I can't write well, but Uncle Rong won't!"
In the world of children, copywriting is the most serious punishment, bar none!
Xiao Li chatted with his new uncle in the house for a long time, until the rain outside became heavier and someone came to call him away.
After Ji Chundong got clean, he walked to the window again and looked at the foggy sky outside, his expression slowly becoming serious.
As noon approached, the sound of laughter and laughter came from the main courtyard, and the sound of rain mixed with the sounds of play. Separated by a wall, it seemed that that side was particularly lively and this side was particularly deserted.
After a while, a servant called Ji Chundong for lunch. The lunch in the east courtyard was placed in the south side hall.
When Ji Chundong arrived, Cheng Qi had already arrived. When he saw him coming, Cheng Qi asked him to sit next to him.
After the two sat down, they exchanged a few polite words before starting to eat. It wasn't a good dish, and it wasn't as rich as Yuanzhou's delicacies, but it wasn't unpalatable. Cheng Qi ate half a bowl and stopped eating. He leaned there drinking and chatted with Ji Chundong: "I heard that there has been a falling out at the Yamen. I originally said that there would be some kind of court today to try Wanli, but for some reason, After struggling all morning, I was asked to postpone it, but it seemed that some people were unwilling and making a lot of noise.
It’s not over yet. After dinner, let’s go take a look and say hello to some of the adults who patrol the governor’s house. "
Ji Chundong said "yes" and ate the whole plate of stir-fried white meat on the table with two chopsticks.
Cheng Qi saw that he really ate a lot and was being wild, so he took the initiative to push the braised pork in front of him towards him.
Ji Chundong said politely: "I have enough, adults can also eat."
Cheng Qi had lost his appetite and said with a dry smile: "I'm full too, you eat."
Ji Chundong stopped being polite and poured the whole plate of braised pork into his own bowl.
Cheng Qi looked at him as if he had never had a full meal in eight lifetimes. He was quite speechless and couldn't say anything. He just pursed his lips and continued to drink in small sips.
Just then, there was a sudden noise outside.
Cheng Qi looked over subconsciously and saw figures shaking outside, as if someone was running in the heavy rain.
He poked his head and asked, "Who is that?"
The master then went out to take a look. When he came back, he was also frightened: "I don't know where a girl came from. She looked crazy and ignored everyone."
Cheng Qi was a little disgusted: "Isn't there no servants in this Rong Mansion? How come everyone is let in? Get them out quickly."
The master then recruited two guards and asked them to drive the people away.
As a result, after a while, there was a noise outside.
Cheng Qi drank too much and had a bad temper. He slammed the table and asked the master, "What's going on?"
The master hurriedly ran out to take a look. When he came back, his face was already stained with a lot of rain: "That crazy girl seems to be from the Rong Mansion. The guards went to chase her away, but the girl stayed on the ground and refused to leave. She is from the Rong Mansion." Come here, let’s make a fuss.”
Cheng Qi frowned when he heard this. At this moment, Ji Chundong finally finished his meal. He put down his chopsticks, stood up and said, "I'll go take a look."
Cheng Qi originally wanted to yell a few words, but when he saw that Ji Chundong was tall and tall, standing there like a mountain, he swallowed back his words and said, "Then go and see."
When Ji Chundong went out, what he saw was a farce that was unclear in the heavy rain.
Among the figures in the rain, the first thing he heard was the sobbing cry of a girl: "They beat me, they beat me...Dad...They bullied me...Dad, dad, dad...Dad" Where are you……"
Ji Chundong frowned when he heard this, and took two steps forward. When he stepped down the corridor, he finally saw clearly what the girl who was sitting in the rain, crying out of breath, looked like.
A face whose facial features were obscured by the rain.
But if you look carefully, you can still see the elegance and beauty on that face, and most importantly, it still looks slightly familiar. Ji Chundong stood in the corridor for a long time, recalling for a long time, and then murmured a name uncertainly: "Li...Li Yu'er?"
