The cannon fodder of fast time travel has to struggle

Chapter 551

"Mei Niang, since you're here, come in quickly. Brother and sister have something to say later, what's the matter with standing outside and leaving us all alone?"

The old lady Ji was very happy today, she even spoke a lot louder, and she knew the joy in her heart through the porch.

Ji Meiniang wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, followed Ji Pengyu, and led Xiang Wan toward the hall.

People from the Qiu family had arrived long ago, and they were the eldest daughter-in-law of the Qiu family, Mrs. Xu, who was Mrs. Ji's niece and the wife of her nephew Qiu Hong.Mrs. Ji is the eldest daughter of the Qiu family who married into the Ji family. Her younger brother Qiu Chengchi took a sinecure job after Zhan Shi resigned from the Zhan Shi Mansion and was specifically responsible for editing books for the current saint.Perhaps the Cao family was responsible for this, but Qiu Chengchi did not blame the Cao family. Instead, he felt pity for his sister's ill-fated life and took care of the Cao family.

Qiu Chengchi gave birth to two sons, and Qiu Hong was his eldest grandson. When he reached the marriageable age, Ji Meiniang was also taken into consideration.It was only later that Cao Xinqian captured Ji Meiniang's heart, which led to the marriage between Qiu Hong and Xu.

Mrs. Xu didn't come here alone, but also brought two children who were about the same age as Xiang Wan, one was Qiu Hong's eldest daughter, Qiu Ruyan, and the other was his eldest son, Qiu Lin.They and the original owner were also childhood playmates, and when they met each other, they always had to be kind.Especially Qiu Ruyan, when she saw Xiang Wan approaching, she blinked at her frequently.

Ji Pengyu's wife, Ruan Shi, was not born in a famous family.Because Cao's family was down and down at that time, and no one came to talk about matchmaking, Ji Pengyu simply married Ruan Yu'er, the eldest daughter of Qin Tianjian Supervisor Ruan Guowei, and gave birth to two sons and a daughter.The eldest son Ji Feng was older than Xiang Wan, the second son Ji Xuan was two years younger than Xiang Wan, and the youngest daughter Ji Shuang'er had just turned ten.They lived with Ji Pengyu outside, and they didn't have many opportunities to meet Xiang Wan, so they were a little unfamiliar.

Xiang Wan smiled and greeted the elders one by one, and then distributed the presents he brought with him.Some exquisite pastries bought when passing through the busy market on the road became Ji Shuang'er's favorite thing. She ate her mouth full, like a hamster, very cute.

The whole family was talking in the front hall. Ji Pengyu's playmates from the capital also came, and they were all invited to the pavilion at the back.As for the figure Xiang Wan saw, he had been invited to the nearby yard at this time and did not show up.

After the conversation, Xiang Wan and Qiu Ruyan led Ji Shuang'er to the back garden to enjoy the scenery. Ji Feng, Ji Xuan and Qiu Lin fell not far behind them.

In Ji's family, they are all relatives, so they don't pay much attention.Qiu Ruyan was very interested in the affairs of the border, but Ji Shuang'er couldn't say anything, so the three of them quietly walked to Ji Feng and the others to listen to what they had to say.

"Cousin Ji Feng, I heard that the folk customs in the frontier are tough, the men are all strong and strong, and the women are infinitely strong, is that true?" Qiu Lin asked curiously.

He was only twelve or thirteen years old, and it was the time when his curiosity was strong, and hearing it from hearsay was far less exciting than the person himself explaining it.But he didn't want to ask Ji Xuan, who was about the same age as him, they were all of the same age, so he still had to take care of face.

Ji Xuan was fine, but felt that this cousin from the Qiu family could speak better than him, so he couldn't help feeling a little envious.

Ji Feng smiled and said: "It's not that exaggerated, but the men over there generally work in agriculture and hunt in their spare time, so their bodies are naturally much stronger than ours. As for the women, they are exposed to the sun and rain all day, and they are darker than those in the capital city. That's normal too."

"Where are their clothes the same as ours?" Qiu Lin continued to ask.

"Men often loose their hair, and women, ah, yes, you have to expose it... This is a folk custom, cousin Qiu Lin should not ask too much." Ji Feng's dark face was flushed with embarrassment, and he didn't look carefully , can't see it at all.

"Oh~~"

Not only Ji Feng, but also Ji Xuan was embarrassed by Qiu Lin's coaxing. He quickly changed the subject and said: "Cousin Qiu, there are some delicious and fun places in the capital. Please introduce them to us."

When it comes to eating, drinking and having fun, they have endless topics to talk about.

Ji Shuang'er was very interested in these and held Qiu Ruyan's hand, insisting on following him to listen carefully.Qiu Ruyan's face was flushed, Xiang Wan simply pulled her and stood openly in front of Ji Feng and the others.

"Cousin Ji Feng, I heard that your journey was difficult. Did you take a boat or take a horse-drawn carriage along the official road? Are there any interesting stories on the road? Can you just hand me a guide when you pass the pass? Have you seen any businessmen dressed very strangely? Is the border area really adjacent to the Kingdom of Fei? Is our Cui Chao bigger, or is the Kingdom of Fei bigger?"

Xiang Wan asked five or six questions in one breath, which directly confused Ji Feng and Ji Xuan, who didn't know where to start.

Qiu Ruyan tugged on Xiang Wan's sleeve quietly, shocked by what she did.

Xiang Wan reached out and stroked the back of her hand, raised her head and said to Ji Feng, "Cousin Ji Feng, don't mind. I'm just curious, so I asked this question. When I entered the front hall just now, I seemed to see a strange Man, did he come with you? I don’t think he is from our country of Cui.”

Hearing this, Ji Feng and Ji Xuan changed their expressions at the same time, but Ji Shuang'er didn't hear it because she was focused on the flower branch beside her.

Ji Feng pursed his lips, but stopped talking.Along the way, they were worried and frightened for a long time, and they didn't feel better until they got on the official road.The father and mother gave thousands of warnings, so that they must not tell the matter, so as not to add unnecessary troubles.

Ji Xuan secretly tugged on Ji Feng's sleeve, shook his head silently, and lowered his eyelids.

Seeing their expressions, Xiang Wan knew that they were unwilling to say anything.

There must be a reason for what happened, and the person who brought Ji Pengyu directly to Ji's house was either a close friend or a great kindness from the other party.Now might not be a good time to ask questions. What Xiang Wan needed was an attitude.

"Since my cousin doesn't want to talk about it, I don't force it. Then please tell me what you have seen and heard along the way. We are all very curious."

Instead of asking about that matter, Ji Feng secretly breathed a sigh of relief and told some interesting anecdotes, which was quite satisfying.

Lunch is served in the front hall of the Ji Mansion, the daughter's family has a table, Ji Feng and the boys of the younger generation have a table, and Ji Meiniang is with the old lady Ji and the others.Ji Pengyu sat at the same table with his little boy and the strange man.

The man was very talkative and told some interesting things and experiences he had encountered while doing business in a humorous tone. He soon became familiar with Ji Pengyu's friends.

Xiang Wan's eyes glanced at the man from time to time, and several times he deliberately let him find him.

When the man saw Xiang Wan looking at him, he didn't take it seriously. He nodded in greeting and continued drinking with Ji Pengyu and the others.

After lunch, Mrs. Xu left with a pair of children, and Ji Pengyu's friends didn't bother him. The man was going to live in a restaurant, but Ji Pengyu forced him to stay and arranged a room for him to live in.

Ji Meiniang was not in a hurry to go back. She still had a lot to say to her brother, so Xiang Wan couldn't leave either.

After the meal, Ji Shuang'er was a little sleepy, so Xiang Wan took advantage of sending her to her room to sleep, and after coming out of her bedroom, went to the courtyard.

Sure enough, the man was already waiting there.

"I wonder what is going on with this young lady?"

"A thief shouting, "Catch a thief, what's your purpose?"
