Chapter 114 The childhood sweetheart who deceived the feelings of the sinister official (2)
Suddenly I felt a little cool.
Huarui looked around and saw that the window was not closed, so she quickly walked to the window in two or three steps.
While closing the window, he warned: "Miss, you have been weak since childhood, you must not be willful. Since it is raining, you can't leave the window open. What if you catch a cold?"
Hua Rui kept on chattering, but everything she said was for Ji Chutang's own good. Ji Chutang didn't know what to say to her and could only nod helplessly at his chatty personal maid.
I saw Ji Chutang nodded.
Huarui felt much more relieved and stopped muttering.
Hua Rui was not her personal maid who had grown up with her, but had only come to her three years ago.
Her father was originally a servant on the Ji family farm, but unfortunately died while saving Ji's father.
Leaving behind an orphan and a widow, helpless and helpless.
Ji's father was grateful for her kindness and arranged a housekeeper position for Huarui's mother in the Ji family.
Huarui is their only child.
It so happened that Ji Chutang's personal maid committed a serious mistake and was expelled from the Ji Mansion, so Hua Rui was arranged to be Ji Chutang's personal maid.
At the same time, he said that when Hua Rui got married in the future, the Ji family would give her an additional dowry and abolish her slave status.
Hua's father was also buried with great honor.
This made the mother and daughter, who depended on each other, burst into tears of gratitude.
As a slave on a farm, one has to work hard all his life, digging for food in the fields, and hand over most of it to his master.
Now he leaped into the capital.
Even if they were still slaves, it was enormous wealth for them.
So even though she has only been with Ji Chutang for three years, the little girl's loyalty cannot be underestimated.
Moreover, when Hua Rui first saw her own young lady, she was struck by her beauty.
Since then, he has been very supportive of his young lady.
She grew up on a farm and had never seen any dignitaries. She heard that the sons and daughters of dignitaries were all very beautiful.
But after following the young lady, she also met many dignitaries, but no one could compare with her young lady.
Even the handsome Mr. Qi next door cannot compare to the beauty of her young lady.
After delivering pastries to Ji Chutang, Hua Rui couldn't sit still and went to make tea for Ji Chutang.
Ji Chutang had already sat up, put the book aside, picked up a piece of cake and started eating it in small bites.
While eating, I pondered the plot.
The hero of this world is called Qi Jingxiao, the only legitimate son of Qi Muzhi, the prime minister of the Yu Dynasty.
The supporting female character Ji Chutang grew up with Qi Jingxiao as a childhood sweetheart. The original owner was weak since childhood, and like Lin Daiyu, she was a sickly beauty, and also a talented woman known far and wide.
On the surface, she is a delicate, gentle and kind beauty, but in fact, she is vain in her heart and has known what she wants since she was a child.
As the daughter of a fourth-rank official, she was not outstanding in the capital, not to mention that she was weak. Even if she was beautiful and talented, it was not easy for her to marry into a wealthy family.
But she had a clear goal. She was not willing to marry into a small family or a family of equal status. She wanted to marry into a wealthy family.
Fortunately, there is a neighbor who is from a wealthy family.
So I always try to build good relationships with my neighbors.
Although the Qi family didn't think much of the Ji family, Qi's mother liked Ji Chutang very much and often invited her to visit their home.
The Qi family has many branches, and the Qi family next door to theirs is just one of them, but it is now the most promising branch of the Qi family.
Qi's father, Qi Muzhi, was the prime minister of the Yu Dynasty and a first-rank official.
He was originally a illegitimate child of the Qi family, but he was particularly powerful. After the family split up, he relied on himself to reach his current status step by step. The Qi family has produced many talented people, but there are very few who are as promising as Qi Muzhi.
Qi Muzhi relied on himself to suppress the direct lineage, and now the Qi family is centered around Qi Muzhi.
Qi Muzhi was also very self-disciplined. He had only one wife and no concubines in his house.
Qi's mother is in poor health.
So the two of them only have one child, Qi Jingxiao.
Qi Jingxiao has been serious and old-fashioned since childhood, a little bookworm, without the innocence and cuteness of his peers.
Although she is very smart, she is also very pretty with a delicate and delicate figure.
But this temper still gives Qi's mother a headache.
I don't feel the joy of raising a child at all.
It was like raising a smaller version of Qi Muzhi, which made Qi's mother complain about her husband every time. Qi Muzhi didn't get angry, but always coaxed his wife obediently.
"It's my fault. It's all because of my bad bloodline that Yaoyao can't enjoy the pleasure of raising a child..."
Every time this happened, Qi's mother couldn't vent her anger and was very depressed.
Fortunately, the neighbor next door gave birth to a beautiful daughter, who was three years younger than her boy, but very pretty, innocent and cute, and she liked her very much.
So I often invite the mother and daughter next door to visit.
Every time he holds someone else's daughter tightly and refuses to let go.
The child was very well behaved. After he could talk, he would always call her "Auntie" in a baby voice. And she found that every time the little girl came.
Your own old-fashioned brat will show up.
When playing with little girls, he can also show some childishness. The key is that his little brat can't play with others and thinks that others are little brats who know nothing.
But it’s different in front of the little girl from the Ji family.
Very patient.
This made Qi's mother think about arranging a child marriage, but she put the idea aside for the time being.
Because Ji Chutang's father had an elder sister who was a favorite concubine in the palace and gave birth to a prince, the third child, which meant that the little girl had a cousin who was a prince.
Their family's Lao Qi is a first-rank official and a loyal minister of the emperor. Often the slightest disturbance can cause many changes. The higher the position, the more careful one must be.
Now their family has arranged an marriage for their children with the Ji family.
Then in the eyes of others, the Qi family just took a position, and the third prince stood.
For this reason, Qi's mother still did not mention the matter of arranging a marriage for the child to the Ji family.
Just let the two children interact with each other.
We’ll talk about the future later.
Because she often went in and out of the Qi family, Ji Chutang almost grew up with Qi Jingxiao. In her eyes, the Qi family was the best family.
So she always wanted to marry into the Qi family. Marrying Qi Jingxiao would be equivalent to marrying into a wealthy family.
In the original plot, the original owner expressed her love to Qi Jingxiao the year before her coming of age, but Qi Jingxiao only had brotherly and sister feelings for the original owner, so he rejected her.
Not long after, something happened to the Qi family. Qi Mu lost his status as a high-ranking official, and the Qi family was confiscated and exiled.
When Qi Jingxiao was escaping with the people left behind by his father, he went to Ji's house to say goodbye to his sister who he grew up with, but he overheard her conversation with the maid.
The maid comforted her and told her not to be too sad about the Qi family.
The gentle and kind girl next door had a vicious expression, as if she was very happy to say: "Why should I be sad? Since I made a mistake, I must take responsibility for it."
"And Qi Jingxiao is so ungrateful and treats me like this. Now that something has happened to his family, I am too happy to be sad."
"Now he is out of my league, why should I still talk about him? It's bad luck."
Qi Jingxiao originally thought that there would be someone who would feel sad for him, but when he suddenly heard these words, the last trace of warmth was cut off and he left without hesitation.
