Dressing in another world to be a brother

On this day, a message came from the person waiting at the river ferry crossing that must pass through to Beijing. Uncle Ji and Mr. Gu had already been received, and they would arrive at the mansion tomorrow.

Ji Yuzhu hurriedly stopped what she was doing, and took people to tidy up the newly built Dongkua courtyard and prepare various living utensils.

You Yunle was a little worried: "It seemed that the day I went to propose a marriage was not very pleasant, will your uncle and the others dislike me?"

Ji Yuzhu laughed: "Father, you worry too much. It doesn't matter if they like you or not? They don't like me."

You Yunle frowned: "Why don't you like you? Maybe they...are just greedy for money?" Thinking of the scene on the day of proposing marriage, she was a little worried, "I seemed to be too strong that day."

Ji Yuzhu thought about it, briefly introduced the relationship between his parents and his uncle's family, and then shared about how much money his family made in business with them. When his father was sick, they only gave out ten taels of silver. .

You Yunle frowned, a little aggrieved: "Then why did you give them so much silver taels when you got engaged? You shouldn't have given them the money when you threw it into the water." She sighed, "It's all because I didn't inquire clearly at the time."

Ji Yuzhu laughed: "Father, that's the money from brother Yan, he doesn't even feel bad about it."

"Is that the same?" You Yunle was depressed.

Ji Yuzhu patted his arm: "Father, I'm not telling you this to make you hate them. They are not big treacherous people in essence. Just say that the few months when I was alone, I stayed in the The houses and fields in the village are also guarded by them. Otherwise, as a brother, it would have been difficult during that time, but I could have stayed in the county town for a few months. Their personalities are more or less bad. My uncle and aunt Greedy for money, my grandma is cowardly and eccentric, but these are all under the premise that they will not actually hurt me."

You Yunle didn't believe it: "On the day of your engagement, they agreed after reading the gift list, and at first they talked nonsense and accused you."

Ji Yuzhu laughed: "That's my uncle taking Joe, just wanting to raise the price." After thinking about it, "Well, sometimes his temper is really annoying when he talks."

You Yunle was unhappy: "You said just now that your father is seriously ill and he is unwilling to pay for the medical treatment."

Ji Yuzhu sighed: "After all, the doctor has concluded that my father has no cure, and he is just procrastinating. In fact, think about it, without my father's business, he only has the land to make a living, and he has to support two students who study. Lang, one still has to study in Fucheng Academy, and there are old and young, and he was able to give out ten taels of silver, which is actually quite a lot for the Tianzhuang family."

You Yunle hates iron but not steel: "You, you should soften your heart!"

"It doesn't hurt the matter of principle." Ji Yuzhu shrugged, "I will directly argue with him on the matter of principle."

"Then which ones are a matter of principle?"

"For example, he asked me to pay money every month to join the public school."

"What? Ask your brother to pay money every month? You agreed?" You Yun was angry.

"I didn't agree." Ji Yuzhu hurriedly reassured him, "I'm not stupid. He has property, hands and feet, and two scholars at home. Even if he goes out to sit in a library or something, he can still earn some money. Why? Let me, an uncle and nephew, raise their whole family."

"That's right! It's right not to agree!" You Yunle was indignant.

"Right, look, I'm not a soft dough that anyone can knead."

"They dare? You are protected by Dad now!" You Yunle said with awe-inspiring expression.

Ji Yuzhu was amused: "Father, they're here for a wedding, not a fight. Don't be nervous."

You Yunle was a little embarrassed: "Yes."

In fact, it might also come to pave the way for Ji Yujun's scientific research.

After all, Ji Yujun has been studying for the imperial examination to become an official.

Being a brother for many years, there is nothing too embarrassing. He doesn't mind helping out and arranging food, clothing, housing and transportation at that time.

However, there is no need to tell Father clearly about these things right now.

You Yunle suddenly thought of something: "Hey, with so many people coming, we need to prepare more ingredients for the house. Also, this Dongkua courtyard also needs to add a few more servants to clean and do laundry. Let's go, let's go to the capital to do some big shopping. .”

Ji Yuzhu had no choice but to let him go.

At lunch the next day, there was no one in sight.

Jiang Weiyan hurriedly sent a guard to take a look, but Ji Yuzhu had already asked Zhang Chong to make some cakes and soup first, and brought them to several people.

"Use something to make a cushion first. If you can come over for lunch, who knows what will happen, don't be hungry." Ji Yuzhu beckoned You Yunle to sit down, and first brought him a bowl of red bean and lotus seed soup.

Jiang Weiyan touched his belly, a little depressed: "Is there only dessert?"

Ji Yuzhu rolled his eyes at him, and took out a small bowl of noodles from the box: "Hey, this is yours."

The fragrant marinade was poured on Bai Shengsheng's face, and there were a few slices of marinated meat, a split marinated egg and a few slices of green vegetables lying on it, which looked very good.

"My brother Ji is still thinking about me." Under Ji Yuzhu's stare, Jiang Weiyan took the bowl with a smile, and asked You Yunle meaningfully: "Uncle, do you want some?"

You Yunle laughed and cursed: "Eat yours, I won't be able to eat any more after eating such a bowl of noodles."

After a few people had used it, they waited for almost half an hour before Uncle Ji and the others arrived late.

Ji Yuzhu helped Auntie Ji get out of the car: "Auntie, take your time. Are you tired? Have a good rest after dinner."

"Hey, where is it? It's just that sitting in the car is a bit bumpy, and it's much easier than doing farm work." Ji Aunai looked at the fair and handsome Ji Geer, "How is your life here? But I want to die Grandma, I'm afraid that you will suffer some kind of grievance from being far away."

"Grandma, don't worry, I'm fine."

The uncle who got out of the car followed behind and looked at the tall courtyard with wide eyes: "This, this... Yuzhu boy, do you live here?"

Uncle Ji's exclamation came from ahead.

Ji Yuzhu supported Grandma Ji and led the auntie to go forward, but she didn't see Ji Yujun's wife and son, probably because the child was too young, so the sister-in-law took him to stay at her mother's house.

He warmly replied to his aunt: "Yes, this is the main house. The east courtyard and the west courtyard are still under construction. During this period of time, you are living in the east courtyard. Although the back is still under construction, the front two can accommodate people. My son received the message and has sorted it out."

The two were speechless.

Grandma Ji said with emotion: "This is a good time for our son, and we are enjoying ourselves."

While speaking, several people had already come to the front carriage.

Jiang Weiyan was talking to Uncle Ji, while Ji Yujun and Ji Yuru stood aside and waited.

The expressions of the three were a little strange.

Ji Yuzhu didn't care what they were talking about, entrusted Aunai Ji and others to You Yunle, and hurried back to meet her mentor and them.

"Sir! Teacher's wife!" The voice became excited unconsciously.

Gu Chen, who helped Mrs. Zou out of the car, turned around.

"Why are you here? Hurry up to meet your grandmother and the others." Gu Chen chased him away.

"Don't worry sir, we've already greeted you. They're ahead now. I'll come to pick you up." He helped Mrs. Zou, "Master, thank you for coming here."

"Stupid child, we are happy." Mrs. Zou comforted him gently, "And most of them are by boat, so they won't get tired anywhere."

"Hahaha, that's right. I haven't been to the capital for a long time, so I need to keep in touch with my old friends." Gu Chen stroked his beard and smiled.

Only then did Ji Yuzhu feel a little more relieved, and looked at the carriage: "By the way, where is Junior Sister? Didn't you come?"

"Get married~" Gu Chen waved his hand, "I'm just newly married, so it's not good to ask her to come with me."

Thinking of what happened before coming to Beijing, Ji Yuzhu didn't ask any further questions, and led the two of them forward.

Up front, You Yunle was introducing the layout of the house to Uncle Ji and the others in a gentle voice.

Gu Chen listened to him, and asked him in a low voice: "How did you build such a big house?"

Jiang Weiyan turned around when he heard the sound, and first saluted the two of them: "Sir, mistress." After the two of them returned the half salute, he replied, "I am a third-rank military officer, and I can have my own team of guards according to the system. It must be for the guards to live in. But of course this will be for the elders first." Pointing to the Xikuayuan, "The Xikuayuan is still under construction, and Ji Geer will open a Mongolian hall and teach here in the future." There is a proud look on his face.

Everyone was amazed!

Uncle Ji's face was a little uncomfortable.

But Ji Yujun nodded.

Ji Yuru looked at Ji Yuzhu with admiration: "Brother, you are going to be a husband."

Ji Yuzhu smiled and nodded: "It's still early."

You Yunle came over and gave a peer salute to Gu Chen and the two: "Mr. Gu, Mrs. Gu."

Gu Chen and the two hurriedly returned the gift.

"Who is this?"

Ji Yuzhu smiled: "Mister, Mrs. Is this my righteous father, You Yunle."

Gu Chen was surprised: "Father Yi?"

Uncle Ji seemed a little cramped at first, but he frowned and looked over: "Father Yi?"

Isn't he the one who helped Jiang Weiyan to propose a marriage?

How did he become his righteous father?

Ji Yujun also frowned and took a look at You Yunle.

Ji Yuzhu nodded: "Yes." He walked to You Yunle and introduced him again.

With a smile on your face, You Yunle bowed to Grandma Ji and Uncle Ji: "Mother, brother, sister-in-law, we meet again."

Auntie Ji was a little at a loss: "Hey, hey, you're welcome."

Uncle Ji had a straight face.

The auntie glanced at Uncle Ji, and returned a salute awkwardly.

Seeing that Uncle Ji started to put on airs again, Ji Yuzhu was a little annoyed, and was about to write something.

You Yunle quickly pulled him.

Ji Yuzhu saw that Mr. Shi and his wife were still there, so he swallowed his words.

Seeing the situation, Jiang Weiyan hurriedly said: "Let's talk in the room, it's cold, everyone is tired all the way, so go in and have a warm meal."

The crowd put aside this topic for the time being and followed him inside.

It was empty along the way, except for the cloister house that should be there, and the things that should be in the courtyard have not been added.

Gu Chen shook his head and shook his head: "It's a pity, it's a pity, some flowers and trees should be planted here." Looking at a corner, "Hey, there should be trees and stone tables here."

Ji Yuzhu was helpless: "Sir, in this cold weather, it's not easy to transplant any flowers and trees. We have to wait until the spring of next year."

"That's right. It's a pity." I don't know if it's a pity that the yard is empty, or it's a pity that he can't see it.

Entering the warm hall, everyone scrubbed with the prepared warm water before sitting down.

Since they are all considered to be Ji Yuzhu's natal family, there is no separate table for everyone, and a large table is filled in groups.

The weather is cold, Ji Yuzhu's dishes are dry pot, stew and so on.

The wax oil sits under the dry pot, and the vegetables will not be cold if the fire is not extinguished, and the hotter the more fragrant.

The stewing is even more effortful to make it fragrant.

Plus the big bone broth that has been boiled all morning.

After a bumpy journey, everyone finally ate a hot meal, which tasted good, and the table became quiet for a while.

After a full meal, even Uncle Ji's face showed obvious fatigue.

Ji Yuzhu hurriedly led them to rest in the arranged yard.

Back in the main courtyard, he caught Jiang Weiyan: "What did you say at the door? Why are my uncles and their faces so strange?"

Jiang Weiyan thought of the scene at that time, and it was a little funny: "Your uncle is also funny. He thought that the official position I mentioned when I proposed marriage was an exaggeration, and thought that I was at most a small yamen servant, so he told your elder brother and others like that. No, I heard that I still have Konoe, I was taken aback."

Ji Yuzhu burst out laughing: "Hahaha, it's indeed a misunderstanding made by someone like him who loves to play tricks." Imagining the expressions of Ji Yujun and the other two at that time, "Poor brother and younger brother were frightened, hahahaha! "

Jiang Weiyan also laughed: "I want to have two more drinks with your elder brother and the others tonight, so as to calm them down!"
