Nine-fold lotus of the famous family

Chapter 47 Avalokitesvara's Birthday
"Auntie, I'm not saying that Danyang is bad. It's just that the Ji family has been away for so many years. After all, we are not familiar with the people here. At least there is my natal family on the other side of Shangjing. Isn't it much safer to know the family? I also want Fu Well, what do you think, old lady?"

The eldest lady looked eagerly at the old lady Ji, just to want her to agree with her views and opinions.

What is Danyang compared with Shangjing? The young talents here are afraid that they will be just a small fish in the vast ocean after arriving in Shangjing. What can they expect?
The old lady Ji's face darkened. The eldest lady's obstinacy in this matter made her unhappy, so she just said lightly: "I still have to ask the eldest girl about this matter. After all, it is her own marriage. What do you think?" And opinions matter too.”

After finishing speaking, without waiting for the eldest lady to reply, the old lady Ji turned to Ji Minghui again, "My eldest son-in-law has a lot of people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the two of you are also paying attention to this matter. If there is a suitable family, why not tell us about it?" Listen, you have to look, find, and compare, and you will always pick out the one you like!"

Is this disregarding her opinion?

The eldest wife's face immediately turned pale, and she angrily pulled the Luopa in her hand, Ji Furong was her daughter, how could she not make arrangements for her daughter, this matter cannot be left to the old lady and Ji Minghui.

The eldest wife made up her mind, and naturally had her own concerns in her heart.

Ji Chonglian went back to the Emerald Pool to rest for a few days, and it was the [-]th day of June, the Guanyin's birthday. She wanted to stay at home and not go out, but was dug out by Ji Furong. It was a rare and lively day, except for offering incense Besides worshiping Buddha, the girls also want to join in the fun together.

Five girls sat in a green-roofed tung oil carriage, and the accompanying maids all sat in a flat-roofed black oil carriage behind.

I haven't seen you for a month, and Ji Youlan's temperament has become much quieter. Sitting with her, I don't know what she is thinking. much better."

"Ah."

Ji Youlan responded lightly, turned her head to look at Ji Chonglian, and pulled the corners of her lips, "Now I carefully store the Buddhist scriptures you copied in the box. With your care, I will be cured of all diseases."

"Third Sister said so, so I feel relieved."

Ji Chonglian nodded, but Ji Furong pulled Ji Haitang and laughed, "Seeing that the two sisters are as good as one person, I am very envious."

"Big sister... I too..."

Ji Haitang immediately became a little nervous, maybe she wanted to express something, but under the nervousness, she stuttered and couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.

"Come on, don't I know your temper?"

Ji Furong patted Ji Haitang's hand with a smile, and then turned her gaze to Ji Chonglian, "Fifth sister, tell me how you have won the favor of grandma these days, and now grandma loves you, and she clings to jadeite when she has good things. Tan, you really want to make our sisters jealous!"

"Big sister, you're used to making fun of me!"

Ji Chonglian took a look at Ji Furong, pouted and said: "Who doesn't know that big sister is the treasure in grandmother's heart, and you still use this to make fun of me. You are really not greedy. Be careful that I will sue you in front of grandmother!"

"Come on, I'm afraid of you!"

Ji Furong covered her lips and smiled, and the atmosphere in the car suddenly became happier.

Ji Ziwei was nestled in the corner by herself, and she couldn't get in their mouths when they were talking. Apparently Ji Furong was still worried about the last time she stayed with Ji Yuee and didn't leave with her sisters. So from the moment she got on the carriage, she was treated like air.

Ji Youlan also quarreled with her, but now it's not speculative.

As for Ji Chonglian, Ji Ziwei always felt that there was a faint coldness in her body, which was not so obvious before, but today she gradually realized that it was rejection and dislike for her.

Who cares about whom? !

Ji Ziwei pursed her lips, and opened the curtain of the car. She wanted to see the scenery outside the car, but only saw a few ragged beggars begging along the road. She didn't feel unlucky, she couldn't help complaining a few times, " This Danyang is just not as good as Beijing, and there are so many beggars, it spoils the fun for nothing!"

Ji Furong gave Ji Ziwei a blank look, lifted the curtain to look at it, and then sneered, "If you don't understand, don't pretend to understand! These are not beggars, they are obviously refugees from the north!"

"refugee?"

Ji Chonglian was startled, and couldn't help turning her head to look at Ji Furong, "How does Big Sister know?"

After staying in the old lady's Buddhist hall for a month, she naturally didn't have time to read the mansion newspaper. After returning to Emerald Lake, she found that Shi Yong had already sent the copied mansion newspaper, and Hongying kept it for her. good.

After watching it for the past few days, Ji Chonglian realized that there was a rare hailstorm in the three northern provinces in March. Many vegetables and fruits planted in the spring were all destroyed before the harvest. Last year's autumn harvest Most of the grain was handed over to the public, and only a small part was kept, waiting for the harvest to survive, but when a hailstorm fell, the harvest was gone, and the people's life was miserable.

However, the officials of these three provinces united to suppress the disaster, hoping to make the novice invisible internally, but they didn't want to make the trouble worse. In April, the victims of the disaster started ganging up and looting everywhere. Their lives were almost gone, so what did they care about? Wang Fa, it's because the officials don't let them live, they can only earn their own lives.

As soon as the news reached Shangjing in May, the emperor was furious on the spot. He not only severely punished the leaders and officials of the three northern provinces, but also sent King Yan, who was stationed in the northwest nearby, to the three northern provinces immediately to quell the chaos and provide disaster relief.

This matter involved a lot. I heard that a group of high-ranking officials were dismissed at that time. Now everyone is in danger, and no one dares to take the initiative to spread this mess. And it is not sure whether it is a blessing or a curse for King Yan to come forward to help the disaster.

The three northern provinces seem to be separated by a long distance, but now there are refugees appearing in Danyang. For some reason, Ji Chonglian's heart tightened slightly.

Ji Furong frowned, and then sighed, "Father mentioned it in the family letter he wrote to grandma this month, so how could I not have read it?"

"A refugee is a refugee, why did Big Sister attack me?!"

Ji Ziwei pursed her mouth aggrievedly, and there seemed to be a trace of resentment flashing in her eyes.

"I'm letting you learn a lot, don't just talk nonsense."

Ji Furong glared at Ji Ziwei, and the eldest sister showed her majesty again, "Refugees are not beggars, as long as you give them a job, they can survive, and they won't end up begging for a living! If..."

Ji Furong paused slightly at this point, and exchanged a glance with Ji Chonglian, the unspoken words needless to be said, the two of them naturally understood in their hearts.

If the refugees do not have a job to survive, the accumulation will become more, and I am afraid that it will eventually lead to disaster!

Ji Furong's complexion darkened, and the same worries as Ji Chonglian's arose in her heart.
